    The Rhetorical Crisis of the Fall of the Berlin Wall

    THE RHETORICAL CRISIS OF THE FALL OF THE BERLIN WALL: FORGOTTEN NARRATIVES AND POLITICAL DIRECTIONS A Dissertation by MARCO EHRL Submitted to the Office of Graduate and Professional Studies of Texas A&M University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Chair of Committee, Nathan Crick Committee Members, Alan Kluver William T. Coombs Gabriela Thornton Head of Department, J. Kevin Barge August 2018 Major Subject: Communication Copyright 2018 Marco Ehrl ABSTRACT The accidental opening of the Berlin Wall on November 9th, 1989, dismantled the political narratives of the East and the West and opened up a rhetorical arena for political narrators like the East German citizen movements, the West German press, and the West German leadership to define and exploit the political crisis and put forward favorable resolutions. With this dissertation, I trace the neglected and forgotten political directions as they reside in the narratives of the East German citizen movements, the West German press, and the West German political leadership between November 1989 and February 1990. The events surrounding November 9th, 1989, present a unique opportunity for this endeavor in that the common flows of political communication between organized East German publics, the West German press, and West German political leaders changed for a moment and with it the distribution of political legitimacy. To account for these new flows of political communication and the battle between different political crisis narrators over the rhetorical rights to reestablish political legitimacy, I develop a rhetorical model for political crisis narrative. This theoretical model integrates insights from political crisis communication theories, strategic narratives, and rhetoric.

  • Fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989

    Fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989

    The Berlin Wall was the 97-mile-long physical barrier that separated the city of West Berlin from East Berlin and the rest of East Germany from 1961 until the East German government relaxed border controls in November 1989. The 13-foot-high concrete wall snaked through Berlin, effectively sealing off West Berlin from ground access except for through heavily guarded checkpoints. It included guard towers and a wide area known as the “death strip” that contained anti-vehicle trenches, barbed wire, and other defenses. The wall came to symbolize the “Iron Curtain” that separated Western Europe and the Eastern Bloc during the Cold War. As East Germany grew more socialist in the late 1950’s and early 1960’s, about 3.5 million East Germans fled from East Berlin into democratic West Berlin. From there, they could then travel to West Germany and other Western European countries. It became clear to the powers of East Germany that they might not survive as a state with open borders to the West. Between 1961 and 1989, the wall prevented almost all such emigration. Among the many attempt to escape included through underground tunnels, hot-air balloons, and with the support of organized groups of Fluchthelfer (flight helpers). The East German border guards’ shoot-to-kill order against refugees resulted in about 250-300 deaths between August 1961, and February 1989. Demonstrations and protests in the late 1980’s began to build stress on the East German government to open the city. In the summer of 1989, neighboring Hungary opened its border and thousands of East Germans fled the communist country for the West.

UNTERRICHTSVORSCHLÄGE: NATIONALSOZIALISMUS UND GESPALTENES DEUTSCHLAND Laura Kampitsch A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS May 2011 Committee: Dr. Geoffrey Howes, Advisor Dr. Edgar Landgraf i ABSTRACT Dr. Geoffrey Howes, Advisor This thesis deals with controversial topics and periods of German history and how these historically and culturally important events, for example, the period of National Socialism in Germany and German division, can be implemented in German language and culture courses. The theoretical site of foreign language instruction is discussed in the first part, for example, the advantages and disadvantages of different instruction methods. In the first part, desired learning outcomes will also be discussed. How the controversial topics of National Socialism and German division can be taught through the use of literary texts, films, guided internet research and historical documents will be the topic of the second part of this thesis. Recommendations and sample exercises will also be included in this section. The sample exercises are specifically designed for third year or advanced literature, culture and conversation classes, and are based on the principles of intercultural and communicative foreign language instruction. The aim of this thesis is to develop teaching strategies that engage the students and to develop teaching material to accompany the lessons that provide the students with a multifaceted picture of Germany´s history and presence and encourages them to critically analyze these historical. Because of the traditional nature of foreign language instruction which focuses on grammar, vocabulary, reading and listening exercises, this thesis should also work to motivate instructors of German as a foreign language, to integrate historically and culturally controversial events of German history into German language classrooms.

However, after step into twenty-one century, the urban gentrificatoin sweeps out many a"ordable rental housing !nanced by city goverment, instead of higher cost for housing living in downtown Berlin. What I look for in this master design project is trying to borad a new view in how to develop the modern, a"oradble housing for diverse groups living in the inner city. Guangji Liu Master science of Urban Design Urban Shelter for Diverse Living ----Master plan in Leharter Street Guangji Liu Master science of Urban Design Site Analysis The reason of site selection 1. The significant status in history In the early 18th century, the area around the Lehrter strasse was located outside the city limits of Berlin. In the mid-19th century, the Humboldthafen, Berlin-Spandauer shipping canal and Nordhafen were established based on the plans of Schinkel and Lenné. The area was also affected by the railway boom. South of the Spreebogen, construction of the Reichstag was completed in 1894. The area near Lehrter strasse was thus located in the immediate vicinity of the city‘s political center as well.
