    Instructor: Marion Gerlind, PhD (510) 430-2673 • [email protected] Literature and Film of the Weimar Republic (in English translation) OLLI@Berkeley, Spring 2019 Mondays, April 1—29, 2019 (5 weeks), 10:00 a.m. — 12:30 p.m. University Hall 41B, Berkeley, CA 94720 In this interactive seminar we shall read and reflect on literature as well as watch and discuss films of the Weimar Republic (1919–33), one of the most creative periods in German history, following the traumatic Word War I and revolutionary times. Many of the critical issues and challenges during these short 14 years are still relevant today. The Weimar Republic was not only Germany’s first democracy, but also a center of cultural experimentation, producing cutting-edge art. We’ll explore some of the most popular works: Bertolt Brecht and Kurt Weill’s musical play, The Threepenny Opera, Joseph von Sternberg’s original film The Blue Angel, Irmgard Keun’s bestseller The Artificial Silk Girl, Leontine Sagan’s classic film Girls in Uniform, Erich Maria Remarque’s antiwar novel All Quiet on the Western Front, as well as compelling poetry by Else Lasker-Schüler, Gertrud Kolmar, and Mascha Kaléko. Format This course will be conducted in English (films with English subtitles). Your active participation and preparation is highly encouraged! I recommend that you read the literature in preparation for our sessions. I shall provide weekly study questions, introduce (con)texts in short lectures and facilitate our discussions. You will have the opportunity to discuss the literature/films in small and large groups. We’ll consider authors’ biographies in the socio-historical background of their work.

  • Author, Title Price Notes
    Contact: Suriya Prabhakar [email protected] Hey Germanists/Linguists, I’m Suriya, a recent German graduate from Teddy Hall, and I’m looking to sell most of my books that I bought firsthand during my degree. All the books are in extremely good condition, and some of them barely used. You may find the occasional annotation but it will be in pencil and easily erasable (except poetry books where specified). All these prices are half the original price or less (based on Amazon), so I can guarantee you will be saving loads of money (unlike me in first year) on books that you probably won’t use after your degree! They will be sold on a first come first served basis – all you need to do is email me as soon as you’ve decided which ones you want! I’m happy to answer any questions you may have, and am willing to provide details/photos of books if needed.

  • The Meaning of War, 1914- 1918,” in Horne (Ed.), State, Society and Mobilization, 21-38
    A War of Words The Cultural Meanings of the First World War in Britain and Germany Mark Hewitson To the critic Alfred Kazin, conflicts before the Second World War had regularly been described in ‘traditional literary ways’.1 Likewise, for the historian Jay Winter, it was only Hiroshima and Auschwitz that had – in Julia Kristeva’s words – ‘undermined the very symbols through which meaning – any meaning – could be attached to the “cataclysm” of war’.2 Before that point in time, religious or spiritual redemption had appeared possible, present even in the anti-war novels of Henri Barbusse, Ernest Hemingway and Erich Maria Remarque.3 The heroic tropes of nineteenth-century art and literature helped some contemporaries to contextualize, explain and justify the Great War.4 For others, although heroism had been discredited, writing seemed to allow combatants and civilians to look for meaning and make sense of the conflict. Whereas silence was associated with a transfixed state of fear, meaninglessness or mourning, words offered solace and signification. Here, I examine the ways in which written accounts of war, rather than visual images, served to challenge popular expectations and break taboos.5 Since the mid-nineteenth century, various means had been used to bring ‘news’ of conflicts to public attention. Newspaper reports had been eagerly awaited by readers – above all in the educated, middling strata of towns – during the Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars.6 Their readership had increased markedly in size during the nineteenth century.

Webfooters Post Card Club PO Box 17240 Portland OR 97217-0240 www.thewebfooters.com Remembering the Wild, Wild Westerns Before Batman, before Star Trek and space travel to the moon, Westerns ruled prime time television. Warner Brothers stable of Western stars included (l to r) Will Hutchins – Sugarfoot, Peter Brown – Deputy Johnny McKay in Lawman, Jack Kelly – Bart Maverick, Ty Hardin – Bronco, James Garner – Bret Maverick, Wade Preston – Colt .45, and John Russell – Marshal Dan Troupe in Lawman, circa 1958. Westerns became popular in the early years of television, in the era before television signals were broadcast in color. During the years from 1959 to 1961, thirty-two different Westerns aired in prime time. The television stars that we saw every night were larger than life. In addition to the many western movie stars, many of our heroes and role models were the western television actors like John Russell and Peter Brown of Lawman, Clint Walker on Cheyenne, James Garner on Maverick, James Drury as the Virginian, Chuck Connors as the Rifleman and Steve McQueen of Wanted: Dead or Alive, and the list goes on. Western movies that became popular in the 1940s recalled life in the West in the latter half of the 19th century. They added generous doses of humor and musical fun. As western dramas on radio and television developed, some of them incorporated a combination of cowboy and hillbilly shtick in many western movies and later in TV shows like Gunsmoke.

  • 'Stimulating Our Literature and Deepening Our Culture'
    Quærendo 47 (2017) 222-251 brill.com/qua ‘Stimulating our Literature and Deepening our Culture’ Translated Books as Book-of-the-Month Club Selections, 1926 to 1973 Corinna Norrick-Rühl Gutenberg-Institut für Weltliteratur und schriftorientierte Medien Johannes Gutenberg-University Mainz, Germany [email protected] Abstract One of the most prominent book clubs in the US was the Book-of-the-Month Club, established in 1926. The Book-of-the-Month Club marketed books as commodities for consumption, promoting leisurely reading among the growing middle class. But the Book-of-the-Month Club also claimed to be ‘stimulating our literature and deepening our culture’, and in fact, dozens of selected authors went on to receive the Pulitzer Prize or the Nobel Prize for Literature. The body of research on the Book-of-the-Month Club includes Janice A. Radway’s well-known multi-method study A Feeling for Books (1997). But translations among Book-of-the-Month Club selections have not yet been considered. Focusing in particular on books translated into English from German, this paper will present new data on originally foreign-language books that were selected by the Book-of-the-Month Club judges, thereby guaranteeing European authors maximum visibility and exorbitant sales in the US market, which was (and is) usually considered difficult to tap into for non-Anglophone writers. Keywords book sales clubs – Book-of-the-Month Club – translation(s) – German literature Worldwide, millions of readers have accessed their reading material and enter- tainment media through mail-order book sales clubs like Círculo de Lectores, the Nederlandse Boekenclub, Bertelsmann Club or the Book-of-the-Month © koninklijke brill nv, leiden, 2017 | doi 10.1163/15700690-12341383Downloaded from Brill.com09/25/2021 08:08:03PM via free access ‘Stimulating our literature and deepening our culture’ 223 Club.

  • From Heinrich Wittenwiler and Hans Jacob Christoffel Von
    2021-4078-AJHA – 18 JAN 2021 1 Horrors of War in the History of German Literature: 2 From Heinrich Wittenwiler and Hans Jacob 3 Christoffel von Grimmelshausen to Rainer Maria 4 Remarque. Literary Outcries against Inhumanity 5 from the Fifteenth to the Twentieth Centuries 6 7 As terrible as wars have always been, for the losers as well as for the winners, 8 considering the massive killings, destruction, and general horror resulting from it 9 all, poets throughout time have responded to this miserable situation by writing 10 deeply moving novels, plays, poems, epic poems, and other works. The history of 11 Germany, above all, has been filled with a long series of wars, but those have also 12 been paralleled by major literary works describing those wars, criticizing them, and 13 outlining the devastating consequences, here disregarding those narratives that 14 deliberately idealized the military events. While wars take place on the ground and 15 affect people, animals, and objects, poets have always taken us to imaginary worlds 16 where they could powerfully reflect on the causes and outcomes of the brutal 17 operations. This paper takes into view some major German works from the early 18 fifteenth through the early twentieth century in order to identify a fundamental 19 discourse that makes war so valuable for history and culture, after all. Curiously, as 20 we will recognize through a comparative analysis, some of the worst conditions in 21 human history have produced some of the most aesthetically pleasing and most 22 meaningful artistic or literary texts. So, as this paper will illustrate, the experience 23 of war, justified or not, has been a cornerstone of medieval, early modern, and 24 modern literature.

  • WWI in Art and Culture (Calgary, 17-18 Oct 14)
    WWI in Art and Culture (Calgary, 17-18 Oct 14) Rosza Centre, University of Calgary, Oct 17–18, 2014 Deadline: Feb 15, 2014 Stefan Höppner Calgary Interdisciplinary Symposium in German Studies: The German Experience of World War I in Art and Culture The "Great War" created a deep caesura in German and Austrian life and culture. The arts and their proponents were particularly affected by it, not least because many artists fought and lost their lives in the war. Artists and intellectuals reacted both at home and on the front lines, and their experiences were reflected in a plethora of literary texts, art works, musical compositions, and other forms of artistic expression. During this anniversary year of the outbreak of the war, we are planning a symposium that aims to explore artistic treatments of the German/Austrian experi- ence of the war, and of Germans/Austrians in the war. Possible areas of explorations may include, but are certainly not limited to: - the writings of Ernst Jünger, Erich Maria Remarque, Georg Trakl, Hermann Hesse, Thomas Mann, Hermann Broch, and Bertolt Brecht - the art of Franz Marc, Otto Dix, George Grosz, and Käthe Kollwitz - the music and/or critical expressions of Alban Berg, Anton Webern, Franz Schreker, Richard Strauss, Paul Hindemith, and Kurt Weill - the artistic life (e.g. productions, exhibits, publications) in Germany and Austria during the war - the depiction of the German/Austrian war experience in film, TV dramas, and comics - the (philosophical) intersections between art and death We invite proposals from all relevant disciplines of no more than 500 words by February 15, 2014 to both Maria Euchner ([email protected]) and Stefan Höppner ([email protected]).
