Geary With a comment by Otto Gerhard Oexle © 1996 by German Historical Institute Annual Lecture Series, No. 8 Edited by Detlef Junker, Petra Marquardt-Bigman and Janine S. Micunck ______________ GERMAN HISTORICAL INSTITUTE 1607 New Hampshire Avenue, N.W. Washington, DC 20009, USA MEDIEVAL GERMANY IN AMERICA Patrick J. Geary WAS THERE ANYTHING TO LEARN? American Historians and German Medieval Scholarship: A Comment Otto Gerhard Oexle Preface For the first time since the founding of the German Historical Institute in 1987, the topic of the 1995 Annual Lecture addressed the German Middle Ages—as perceived through American eyes. We invited two distinguished scholars from the United States and Germany, and their presentations made this evening a truly special event. In his lecture, Professor Patrick J. Geary traced the influence of German medievalists, especially their methods and historiography, on American academia. During the second half of the nineteenth century, German scholarship came to be regarded as an exemplary model, owing to its scholarly excellence. However, within a few decades, German medieval scholarship's function as a model for American academics declined. Professor Geary gave an engaging account of this development and offered at the same time an absorbing analysis of how the perception and interpreta- tion of German medieval history by American historians were shaped by their attempt to explain American history. -

Number Symbolism in Old Norse Literature
Háskóli Íslands Hugvísindasvið Medieval Icelandic Studies Number Symbolism in Old Norse Literature A Brief Study Ritgerð til MA-prófs í íslenskum miðaldafræðum Li Tang Kt.: 270988-5049 Leiðbeinandi: Torfi H. Tulinius September 2015 Acknowledgements I would like to thank firstly my supervisor, Torfi H. Tulinius for his confidence and counsels which have greatly encouraged my writing of this paper. Because of this confidence, I have been able to explore a domain almost unstudied which attracts me the most. Thanks to his counsels (such as his advice on the “Blóð-Egill” Episode in Knýtlinga saga and the reading of important references), my work has been able to find its way through the different numbers. My thanks also go to Haraldur Bernharðsson whose courses on Old Icelandic have been helpful to the translations in this paper and have become an unforgettable memory for me. I‟m indebted to Moritz as well for our interesting discussion about the translation of some paragraphs, and to Capucine and Luis for their meticulous reading. Any fault, however, is my own. Abstract It is generally agreed that some numbers such as three and nine which appear frequently in the two Eddas hold special significances in Norse mythology. Furthermore, numbers appearing in sagas not only denote factual quantity, but also stand for specific symbolic meanings. This tradition of number symbolism could be traced to Pythagorean thought and to St. Augustine‟s writings. But the result in Old Norse literature is its own system influenced both by Nordic beliefs and Christianity. This double influence complicates the intertextuality in the light of which the symbolic meanings of numbers should be interpreted. -

Catalan Modernism and Vexillology
Catalan Modernism and Vexillology Sebastià Herreros i Agüí Abstract Modernism (Modern Style, Modernisme, or Art Nouveau) was an artistic and cultural movement which flourished in Europe roughly between 1880 and 1915. In Catalonia, because this era coincided with movements for autonomy and independence and the growth of a rich bourgeoisie, Modernism developed in a special way. Differing from the form in other countries, in Catalonia works in the Modern Style included many symbolic elements reflecting the Catalan nationalism of their creators. This paper, which follows Wladyslaw Serwatowski’s 20 ICV presentation on Antoni Gaudí as a vexillographer, studies other Modernist artists and their flag-related works. Lluís Domènech i Montaner, Josep Puig i Cadafalch, Josep Llimona, Miquel Blay, Alexandre de Riquer, Apel·les Mestres, Antoni Maria Gallissà, Joan Maragall, Josep Maria Jujol, Lluís Masriera, Lluís Millet, and others were masters in many artistic disciplines: Architecture, Sculpture, Jewelry, Poetry, Music, Sigillography, Bookplates, etc. and also, perhaps unconsciously, Vexillography. This paper highlights several flags and banners of unusual quality and national significance: Unió Catalanista, Sant Lluc, CADCI, Catalans d’Amèrica, Ripoll, Orfeó Català, Esbart Català de Dansaires, and some gonfalons and flags from choral groups and sometent (armed civil groups).

Schweizer Gegenwartsliteratur
513 Exkurs 1: » ... fremd und fern wie in Grönland«• Schweizer Gegenwartsliteratur Die Schweiz, von Deutschland aus betrachtet-da entsteht das Bild einer Die Schweiz Insel: eine Insel der Stabilität und Solidität und Neutralität inmitten eines Meeres politisch-ökonomischer Unwägbarkeiten und Unwegsam- keiten. Eine Zwingburg der Finanz- und Währungshoheit, eine calvinisti- sche Einsiedelei, in der das Bankgeheimnis so gut gehütet wird wie an- dernorts kaum das Beichtgeheimnis, getragen und geprägt von einem tra ditionsreichen Patriarchat, das so konservativ fühlt wie es republikanisch handelt, umstellt von einem panoramatischen Massiv uneinnehmbarer Gipfelriesen. Ein einziger Anachronismus, durchsäumt von blauen Seen und grünen Wiesen und einer Armee, die ihresgleichen sucht auf der Welt. Ein Hort »machtgeschützter Innerlichkeit<<, mit Thomas Mann zu reden - eine Insel, von Deutschland aus betrachtet. Mag dieses Postkartenbild auch als Prospektparodie erscheinen - es entbehrt doch nicht des Körnchens Wahrheit, das bisweilen auch Pro spekte in sich tragen. >>Was die Schweiz für viele Leute so anziehend macht, daß sie sich hier niederzulassen wünschen, ist vielerlei<<, wußte schon zu Beginn der 60er Jahre ein nicht unbekannter Schweizer Schrift steller, Max Frisch nämlich, zu berichten: >>ein hoher Lebensstandard für solche, die ihn sich leisten können; Erwerbsmöglichkeit; die Gewähr eines Rechtsstaates, der funktioniert. Auch liegt die Schweiz geogra phisch nicht abseits: sofort ist man in Paris oder Mailand oder Wien. Man muß hier keine abseitige Sprache lernen; wer unsere Mundart nicht ver steht, wird trotzdem verstanden.( ...) Die Währung gilt als stabil. Die Po litik, die die Schweizer beschäftigt, bleibt ihre Familienangelegenheit.<< Kurz: >>Hier läßt sich leben, >Europäer sein<.<< Soweit das Bild- von der Schweiz aus betrachtet-, das sich die Deutschen von ihr machen. -
