Wilhelm Busch's Aesthetic Views in Light of Tradition and the German Manifestations of Wilhelm Busch‘s Aesthetics in Eduards Traum by Angelika Morris B.Sc., University of Ottawa, 1981 A Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirement for the Degree of MASTER OF ARTS In the Department of Germanic and Slavic Studies © Angelika Morris, 2010 University of Victoria All rights reserved.

In this thesis, Busch‘s aesthetic views on art and literature are gleaned from a variety of his writings including his mature prose piece Eduards Traum (1891). This study argues that Busch‘s aesthetics in this piece anticipated a number of developments associated with the German Moderne, such as complex narrative techniques, distorted states of time and space, ambiguity, fragmentation, and surrealistic modes of expression. iv Table of Contents Supervisory Page ........................................................................................................................ ii Abstract ...................................................................................................................................... iii Table of Contents ....................................................................................................................... iv Acknowledgments ...................................................................................................................... v Dedication .................................................................................................................................. vi List of Abbreviations ................................................................................................................ vii Introduction ..................................................................................................................................... 1 Literature Review ....................................................................................................................... 4 Definition of the German Moderne .......................................................................................... 10 My Argument ............................................................................................................................ 14 Thesis Outline ........................................................................................................................... 16 CHAPTER 1: Wilhelm Busch‘s Reception .................................................................................. 20 1.1 Busch‘s Reception During His Lifetime ............................................................................. 20 1.2 Reception After Busch‘s Death .......................................................................................... 27 1.3 North American Reception ................................................................................................. 37 1.4 Summary ............................................................................................................................. 39 CHAPTER 2: Busch‘s Statements on Art and Literature ............................................................. 41 2.1 The Artist and his Sources .................................................................................................. 42 2.1.1 Busch’s Aesthetic Views and Attitudes ........................................................................ 42 2.1.2 Busch’s Sources and Influences ................................................................................... 45 2.1.3 Busch's Views on Art and Representation ................................................................... 49 2.2 The Creative Process .......................................................................................................... 61 2.2.1 Precision ...................................................................................................................... 61 2.2.2 Metaphors and the Artistic Process ............................................................................. 63 2.2.3 Brevity .......................................................................................................................... 65 2.2.4 Simplicity...................................................................................................................... 69 2.3 The Text and its Themes ..................................................................................................... 70 2.3.1 Pleasure and Horror .................................................................................................... 70 2.3.2 Dreams ......................................................................................................................... 73 2.3.3 Busch as Critic ............................................................................................................. 75 2.4 Summary ............................................................................................................................. 81 CHAPTER 3.

I would like to thank the professors, staff, and students in the Department of Germanic and Slavic Studies at the University of Victoria for their personal and academic support. My supervisor and mentor Dr. Angelika Arend, Professor Emerita, has been most generous with her time and continued to work with me even after her retirement. I sincerely thank her. I wish to thank Dr. Helga Thorson, Dr. Peter Gölz, and Dr. Lisa Surridge (Department of English) for helping me improve my final thesis submission. Thank you for answering my many e-mails so thoroughly and promptly. I have also valued the professional and personal advice of Dr. Serhy Yekelchyk, Dr. Elena Pnevmonidou, Dr. Matthew Pollard, and Gerlinde Weimer-Stuckmann. I wish to thank Irina Gavrilova for both personal and administrative support. I thank Colleen Allen for her time-saving tips on the computer and Rebecca Reed and my daughter Sandra Morris for helping me prepare for my oral examination. It was a pleasant surprise when I received the Germanic Studies Graduate Scholarship at the beginning of my program, followed by a University of Victoria Fellowship in 2005/2006. Thank you to the Faculty of Graduate Studies for their support. I particularly thank my family for their help and patience throughout my studies. Thank you to my husband Patrick Morris, whose proof-reading skills were invaluable, to my son Matthew Morris for his technical help, and to my daughters Kara Levis and Sandra Morris, who have helped in many ways. vi Dedication Books written in the German language were a rare commodity in German-Canadian immigrant households – few were carried with the many families that arrived in Canada after the Second World War.

  • Archiv Der Evangelischen Kirche Im Rheinland Findbuch Professor Lic. Wilhelm Mundle
    Archiv der Evangelischen Kirche im Rheinland Findbuch Professor lic. Wilhelm Mundle 7NL 124B bearbeitet von Dr. Stefan Flesch 2000 Nachlass Professor lic. Wilhelm Mundle Vorbemerkung Wilhelm Friedrich Mundle wurde am 28. April 1892 als Sohn des Missionsinspektors Gottlob Mundle in Stuttgart geboren. Nach dem Studium der Theologie und Geschichte in Tübingen, Berlin und vor allem Marburg und dem Kriegsdienst 1915-1917 promovierte er bei Adolf Jülicher. Nach der anschließenden Habilitation war Mundle 1919-1925 als Dozent für neutestamentliche Theologie an der Universität Marburg tätig und wurde 1925 noch zum a. o. Professor ernannt. Er trat dann in den Pfarrdienst als Hilfsprediger in Eller-Wersten und amtierte seit 1927 als Pfarrer in Marxloh. 1942 wechselte er nach Boppard. 1961 trat er in den Ruhestand und zog wieder nach Marburg, wo er am 20. Dezember 1971 verstarb. Aus seiner 1923 geschlossenen Ehe mit der Ärztin Hanna Meinhof gingen vier Töchter hervor. Der Bestand umfaßt den Zeitraum 1907-1971 (mit einigen Vorstücken bis 1884 und Korrespondenzteilen der Witwe bis 1988). Er wurde vom Unterzeichnenden geordnet und verzeichnet und wird nun als Depositum im Archiv der EKiR in Boppard aufbewahrt. Theologiegeschichtlich interessant sind vor allem die Vorlesungen, Publikationen und Korrespondenzen Mundles aus den 1920er Jahren. Mundle machte sich als Paulus-Kenner einen Namen, wobei er sich zu einem scharfen Antagonisten Rudolf Bultmanns entwickelte. Zahlreiche Predigten dokumentieren den Pfarralltag vor allem aus der Bopparder Zeit und auch die privaten Seiten seiner Biographie gewinnen durch die erhaltenen umfänglichen Korrespondenzteile deutliche Konturen. Die zahlreichen Briefe seines Vaters Gottlob Mundle befinden sich in dessen Nachlass ebenfalls im Bopparder Archiv.

Pendas This dissertation examines the relationship between Black America and East Germany from 1949 to 1989, exploring the ways in which two unlikely partners used international solidarity to achieve goals of domestic importance. Despite the growing number of works addressing the black experience in and with Imperial Germany, Nazi Germany, West Germany, and contemporary Germany, few studies have devoted attention to the black experience in and with East Germany. In this work, the outline of this transatlantic relationship is defined, detailing who was involved in the friendship, why they were involved, and what they hoped to gain from this alliance.

  • The Ethics of Gift by OSWALD BAYER
    The Ethics of Gift by OSWALD BAYER thics is occupied with the question,"What should we do? And, EI, as one placed in the midst of others, what should I do?" Yet ethics does not begin with this question. It begins rather with the question, "What has been given to us? What has been given to me— to me as one placed in the midst of others?" The theme of ethics is not primarily and immediately the actions of the human being and the norms according to which those actions are to be judged. It is not primarily and immediately the question, "What should I do?" that proceeds from the "I" who thereby stands in the nominative case, and who is determined by the law of the great, categorical imperative "Thou shalt!"The primary theme of ethics is rather, as we have indicated, the question, "What has been given to me?" and therewith the human being who stands in the dative case, in the case of "being given," whose very being is a gift that comes forth from a prior abundance and fullness. "What do you have that has not been given to you?" (i Cor 4:7). In its point of departure and deployment, ethics must first give its attention to "the categorical gift," not a categorical imperative.1 Its fundamental theme is life given as a gift and therewith the structure of this life,2 especially its freedom.3 No one would deny that there is something that is given to the human being, or a "givenness."4 Even Kant cannot avoid speaking of the givenness of the human "task." Nevertheless, one must dispute with Kant and his followers the manner in which and in what sense human freedom is given.

Ihm verdankt sein Schöpfer seinen Ruhm als erster Humorist der Nation und die Verehrung als Ahne der modernen Comic-Kunst. Zu sehen sind eine Auswahl seiner frühen Arbeiten, seiner großen Erfolge und seines Spätwerkes. Eingehend betrachtet werden Buschs Bildersprache, das Zusammenspiel von Bild und Text, die groteske Komik sowie die moralische Substanz der „Welt- und Menschheitssatiren“. Die Ausstellung zeigt zudem, welch großen Einfluss Buschs Werk auf die Etablierung der amerikanischen Zeitungs-Comics um 1900 ausübte, etwa beim großen Comic- Klassiker „The Katzenjammer Kids“.

Cette période fut particulièrement féconde à deux points de vue. D’une part, elle a vu naître sept traductions, ainsi qu’une dizaine de recensions et de critiques. Celles qui sont parues entre 1888 et 1892 avaient pour but la préparation du public à l’apparition prochaine de la Tragédie sur les scènes allemandes. D’autre part, de nombreuses personnalités en vue de l’intelligentsia germanophone ont fait des déclarations élogieuses sur le drame hongrois, alors que d’autres se sont même réapproprié ce chef-d’œuvre étranger en s’inspirant de lui. Mots-clefs : transfert, médiateurs, réception reproductive, réception productive, canonisation La première étape du transfert de la Tragédie d’Imre Madách dans la sphère culturelle allemande, étape durant laquelle l’œuvre n’est accessible au public ger- manophone que par la lecture, s’étend de 1862 à 1892. C’est en effet en 1862, année même de sa publication, que la Tragédie est mentionnée pour la première fois dans l’espace germanophone et c’est en 1892 que la dernière étude précédant sa première représentation sur une scène de langue allemande voit le jour.
