My Room, My Walls, My Hotel Dedicated to (Leon) Alexander Heerde -the son not to be- My Room, My Walls, My Hotel There it was standing in its might, white like the cloudless blue sky, overlooking lake Aussenalster in the heart of Germany’s second largest and most beautiful city of Hamburg, home to forty thousand Ghanaians, countless refugees from around the world and sailors that had only few hours left to spend some time in the Sailor’s Mission located in the middle of the eight hundred forty year old Hamburg Harbour in Hamburg-Harburg. Reeperbahn and St. Pauli had long lost its sexual attraction, home now for Yuppies and Tourists sinking into the illusion of a past that is buried to rot in the darkness of our sinful nature. The Hotel Atlantic raised its pride into the sky of Hamburg making its mark as a place of splendor, elegance and home for the world fortunate once for Generations past. Build in old English Victorian Imperialistic style as its forever rival across the lake along the Jungfernstieg at the corner to Gaensemarkt, Hotel Vier Jahreszeiten, presented its brass golden Globe of the World into the open skies like the fire of the Statue of Liberty of New York City wanting to shout to the world, here we are, ready to serve you from wherever you come, feel free and most welcome in our Hotel that offers you comfort, tranquility, elegance, perfection in service, history and on top of all, hospitality that comes natural to you from all our staff members, the Hamburg style no other city can offer; an experience of a life-time not to be missed. Truly, this Hotel Atlantic was only made for this city that was never ruled by a King, but by the people themselves, it was a true reflection of the elegance in which Hamburgers think, feel, talk and walk; a life- style that reflects honesty, trust, sincerity, affection and empathy for others, open mind for the issues of the world and beyond, spiritually powerful to constantly finding new walks of life to better the lives of many. Generations of races and colours from all around the world have patronized Hotel Atlantic and looked out of the sparking clean windows above the exquisite Restaurants and Ball Rooms on the Ground floor, seen the trees planted by the road side blossom in spring, imagining the ice on the lake with young and old skating along when the ice was declared fit for the public to enjoy unforgettable moments with hot spicy red wine and lesser warm Pizzas. They have stood quite moments on the small balconies attached to their rooms giving space to think beyond the limitation of an individual and the small world each and every one of us lives and find himself in. Standing on the concrete feeling the cold of the white painted metal limiting the space as how far to go to stay safe, looking left towards the Museum of Modern Art seeing the green roof of Hamburg Rathaus in the distance behind Hapag Lloyd and when looking to the right watching small sailing boats going up the Aussenalster to Winterhude, every Hotel Guest was aware, as much as he was part of this world, it was his assignment given to make a difference and special impact in life; to leave a stone of remembrance behind for generations to follow. -1- Businessmen of various shapes and sizes, Superrich, Selfmade-Millionairs, Singers, Actors, Participants of the annual Hamburger Abendblatt New Year’s Reception, Catwalks of Designers locally and internationally, they all were greeted by the Doorman, an impressive statue of Power over a door to decide about the fortune and future of important transactions behind the thick stone walls that had welcomed Presidents, Ministers, Philosophers to speak to them, the four walls in their luxurious rooms set above the Reception area. Walking into the Entrance Hall, to the immediate right a narrow long stretch of walkway decorated with glass cabinets filled with watches, rings, jewelry, handbags, most decorative porcelain figures and table ware opened the way to the function rooms that were able to accommodate five hundred guest and more at a time. The Hotel Atlantic and their very few owners over time had carefully mastered the balance between the demand of modern technology to host social functions of the now and the old glamour the Hotel was proud to showcase and make the busy traveler and businessman stand still for a while and reflect on their senses to find out what really matters in life and their very own life in particular. Straight ahead on the left side a long dark brownish Reception desk welcomed the Guests and made them feel at home; not only as a slogan of modern times used endlessly with no sense and understanding. Here, in Hotel Atlantic in Hamburg, the words had a meaning, a self-understood honesty and easiness. When and where money speaks stress and hardship is gone, things fall in place just all by themselves. Who better to testify of the truth the young Gentlemen and Ladies behind the counter were speaking was Udo Lindenberg, the front singer of famous Rock Band, Panik Orchester, having rented a room for years calling it his home, his only home indeed. At the upper end of the Reception were the lifts and the simple, yet impressive staircase to be found, while across the lifts a small, cozy group of seats were offering anyone that wanted a resting place to wait for friends or colleagues or simply take a good old fashioned British Afternoon tea with cucumber sandwiches, scones with clotted cream topped with marmalade, pralines and mini cakes served on the finest China years old alongside a wide selection of exquisite and well brewed teas from around the world bought by the Chef in the Tee Kontor that was to be found in the largest warehouse complex of the world named Speicherstadt. Late at night, when the lights went down and time to reflect on the day’s event came upon the Hotel guest and staff members, standing in a wide open space behind the group of chairs stood a black piano facing the bar played live by well trained and inspired Musicians to dime the atmosphere of chilling and ready for sleep into a moment of letting go, forgetting worries, fears, anger, tears about unfulfilled dreams with a light in the spirit that each day offers a new opportunity to find and get what everyone of us is looking and hoping for. Wherever the Guest were coming from, their traditions, their personal experiences, their aspirations and expectations, in these quite moments before midnight, one expression and impression united them in the shadowy light of the few lamps identifying the Whiskey poured in small glasses as to be originally from Scotland and dark Red Bordeaux truly from France as what we all are, simply as humans; strong and weak, clever and not so clever, sinners and believers, creative or more technocratic crafted by our Creator, yet still and forever, part of the human race to manage our lives well to the best we are capable of. Ignoring the tender smile of Natasha Dimitriv, the Apprentice from Moscow that had joined her parents some months ago, German Immigrants of the third Generation of Wolga Deutsche from Dictator Adolf -2- Hitler’s occupied territory, he passed the Reception heading for the Lift to take him up to his room on the second Floor. He pressed the button to bring the Lift down, looked back while holding himself to the door of the lift feeling heaviness in his body, he tried to make sense of the human shadow that stood in the Entrance Door seemingly looking for something. His half-closed eyes starred at the elegantly clothed man, slim with his hands hidden in the pockets of his long dark blue coat, certainly tailor made in London, rubbed his eyes to open them wide and get a clearer idea of who this man might be or what he was supposed to represent. The lift came down and opened its door behind him. He stepped one foot into it to make it stay. His eye lids slipped for a moment that made the slim man disappear. He looked down to his black shoes he used to walk in all day long. Dust had surrendered the leather to make them appear like the pale face of a dead body in an open coffin. He shook his head making the heaviness in his joints disappear for a moment. His eyes were watery in all the redness that surrounded his blue eyes. It was in his right eye that a small brown spot was to be seen, the only mark he had inherited from his late mother. He stepped into the lift, got up, left on second floor holding himself along the white light ivory painted wall with old paintings in heavy golden wooden frames showing fox hunting sceneries from the Cornwall country side. For a moment he stopped looking into the mysterious smile of an unknown Gentleman in his traditional clothings dating back two hundred years ago. He might have been one of the Patrons of the Hotel Atlantic, maybe a simple coincidence to have seen him outside his room on the long stretched floor that was enlightened by shaded lamps with brass holders attached to the walls. With his right arm he was holding himself to the dark brown door of is room 213 right in the middle of the floor, his legs were stretched backwards like someone asked by Police Officers to stand ready for a thorough body search.

    “It is about the flag on your chest!” Footballers with Migration Background in the German National Football Team. A matter of inclusion? An Explorative Case Study on Nationalism, Integration and National Identity. Oscar Brito Capon Master Thesis in Sociology Department of Sociology and Human Geography Faculty of Social Sciences University of Oslo June 2012 Oscar Brito Capon - Master Thesis in Sociology 2 Oscar Brito Capon - Master Thesis in Sociology Foreword Dear reader, the present research work represents, on one hand, my dearest wish to contribute to the understanding of some of the effects that the exclusionary, ethnocentric notions of nationhood and national belonging – which have characterized much of western European thinking throughout history – have had on individuals who do not fit within the preconceived frames of national unity and belonging with which most Europeans have been operating since the foundation of the nation-state approximately 140 years ago. On the other hand, this research also represents my personal journey to understand better my role as a citizen, a man, a father and a husband, while covered by a given aura of otherness, always reminding me of my permanent foreignness in the country I decided to make my home. In this sense, this has been a personal journey to learn how to cope with my new ascribed identity as an alien (my ‘labelled forehead’) without losing my essence in the process, and without forgetting who I also am and have been. This journey has been long and tough in many forms, for which I would like to thank the help I have received from those who have been accompanying my steps all along.

Milby, M.A. * * * * * The Ohio State University 2006 Dissertation Committee: Approved by Professor Melvin Adelman, Adviser Professor William J. Morgan Professor Sarah Fields _______________________________ Adviser College of Education Graduate Program Copyright by Susan P. Milby 2006 ABSTRACT Soccer playing style has not been addressed in detail in the academic literature, as playing style has often been dismissed as the aesthetic element of the game. Brief mention of playing style is considered when discussing national identity and gender. Through a literature research methodology and detailed study of game situations, this dissertation addresses a definitive definition of playing style and details the cultural elements that influence it. A case study analysis of German and Brazilian soccer exemplifies how cultural elements shape, influence, and intersect with playing style. Eight signature elements of playing style are determined: tactics, technique, body image, concept of soccer, values, tradition, ecological and a miscellaneous category. Each of these elements is then extrapolated for Germany and Brazil, setting up a comparative binary. Literature analysis further reinforces this contrasting comparison. Both history of the country and the sport history of the country are necessary determinants when considering style, as style must be historically situated when being discussed in order to avoid stereotypification. Historic time lines of significant German and Brazilian style changes are determined and interpretated.

Integration: The ulturC al Politics Of Migration And Nation In The ewN German Public Abstract This dissertation examines public discourse on culture and integration and asks how do mediated public discussions about integration reproduce norms of national culture and identity that operate to represent and manage “Other” (immigrant, minority, etc.) populations in the German context? Through a case study approach, this dissertation uses critical discourse theory to analyze public campaigns, media events, and mediated controversies since the mid-2000s that sought to define the qualifications for cultural citizenship. Although in recent years an increasing number of publications have addressed Germany’s diverse and transnational population, examinations of processes and policies of integration have tended to focus either on the level of the government or on the level of everyday life. Although ideas about integration and multiculturalism are predominantly forged through events and the surrounding representations in the media, the mid-level processes of the media sphere have been neglected in scholarship.

  • THE SOCIO-CULTURAL IMPACT of the 2010 FIFA WORLD CUP™ on CAPE TOWN RESIDENTS by STEPHEN DAVID VISSER Thesis Submitted in Fulfi
    THE SOCIO-CULTURAL IMPACT OF THE 2010 FIFA WORLD CUP™ ON CAPE TOWN RESIDENTS by STEPHEN DAVID VISSER Thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree Master of Technology: Sport Management in the Faculty of Business at the Cape Peninsula University of Technology Supervisor: Prof K Swart Co-supervisor: Mr B Knott Mowbray, July 2015 CPUT copyright information The thesis may not be published either in part (in scholarly, scientific or technical journals), or as a whole (as a monograph), unless permission has been obtained from the University ABSTRACT Socio-cultural impact studies of sporting mega-events are very limited and little literature exists on the intangible effects on the residents of the host nation. Nonetheless, several historical examples, such as the 1995 Rugby World Cup in South Africa and the 2006 FIFA World Cup™ in Germany, exist and have demonstrated that sporting mega-events can fuel social cohesion and contribute to the nation-building process. Owing to the complex history of South Africa, it was difficult for residents and stakeholders to pre-determine whether the 2010 FIFA World Cup™ would foster social identity and cohesion in the country or if it would contribute to the entrenched social cleavages and lead to negative nationalism such as xenophobia. For this purpose and to provide a platform for longitudinal studies, this study investigated socio-cultural impacts of the 2010 FIFA World Cup™ on host residents living in Cape Town and compared the opinions and attitudes of 400 respondents before and after the event using a spatially based stratified random sampling method.

    Arena Aufschalke Stadium, Gelsenkirchen 21/10/2004 20:30:00 (Local Time) UEFA Cup Group A, Matchday 1 FC Schalke 04 v FC Basel 1893 MATCH OFFICIALS Referee Johan Verbist (BEL) Assistant Referee Danny Huens (BEL) Assistant Referee Claude Gregoire (BEL) Fourth Referee Eddie Vermeirsch (BEL) UEFA Delegate Thomas Partl (AUT) Referee Observer Christer Fällström (SWE) Reporter Mark Bennett (GER) MATCH BACKGROUND FC Schalke 04 have proved the value of entering the UEFA Intertoto Cup competition by reaching the UEFA Cup group stage. The German club were one of the three qualifiers from that competition after finishing seventh in last season’s Bundesliga. Comfortable qualification The success gave them a place in the UEFA Cup first round proper where a first leg hat trick from Ebbe Sand, and another hat trick in the return leg from Mike Hanke, gave Schalke a dominating 9-1 aggregate win over Latvian club FHK Liepajas Metalurgs and a place in the group stage draw. Limited experience This will be the first time that Schalke, the 1996/97 UEFA Cup winners and the last club to win the competition under the old two-legged final format, have met Swiss opposition in UEFA club competitions. FC Basel 1893 have had one previous encounter with a German club, and suffered a 7-3 aggregate defeat in the first round of the 1978/79 UEFA Cup. FC Basel 1893 have also played in another competition to reach this stage. Terek overcome The Swiss champions were beaten 5-2 on aggregate in the third qualifying round of the UEFA Champions League by FC Internazionale Milano, but moved into the UEFA Cup, and came successfully through the first round with a win against the Russian Cup holders FC Terek Grozny.
