In modern research on the Old Testament, both the origins and the theology of the Book of Exodus are the subject of intensive debate.

  • Books Across Borders: German-English Literary Translation in the Contemporary German and Anglo-American Contexts
    BOOKS ACROSS BORDERS: GERMAN-ENGLISH LITERARY TRANSLATION IN THE CONTEMPORARY GERMAN AND ANGLO-AMERICAN CONTEXTS BY SALLY-ANN SPENCER A thesis submitted to the Victoria University of Wellington in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Victoria University of Wellington 2015 1 Acknowledgements This thesis could not have been written without the support of a great many people. First and last, it is dedicated to Simon, who provided constant encouragement and faith. Dr. Richard Millington and Associate Professor Jean Anderson accompanied me on the journey from the start, from near and further away, and I am deeply grateful to them both. Thank you to Gillian, Victor and Pamela, and to Victoria University of Wellington for enabling me to undertake this study. 2 Abstract This thesis examines discourses and practices surrounding German-English translated books in the contemporary German and Anglo-American contexts, focusing on works published as trade fiction. It thereby provides the chronological extension to an existing line of studies that evaluate the production and reception of German-English literary translations in the second half of the twentieth century: notably, the survey volumes by Uta Kreuter (1985), Mark Rectanus (1990a) and, more recently, Wiebke Sievers (2007) who concludes her assessment period in 1999. Continuing the investigation into the twenty-first century, the present thesis combines research into new developments in selected focal territories – Germany, the UK and US – with an enquiry into the contemporary relevance of political and other borders in the circulation of German-English translated books. It thus offers an up-to-date account of activities for German-English translation in these territories; at the same time, it contributes to sociologically oriented scholarship on a methodological and theoretical level.

Jewish Writers in Contemporary Germany: The Dead Author Speaks Abstract The question I wish to address in this essay is really quite simple: Given the fact that there are "Jews" who seem to play a major role in contemporary German "Kultur" (at least that narrower definition of culture, meaning the production of cultural artifacts, such as books—a field which, at least for Englemann, was one of the certain indicators of a Jewish component in prewar German culture)—what happened to these "Jews" (or at least the category of the "Jewish writer") in postwar discussions of culture? Or more simply: who lulled the remaining Jews in contemporary German culture and why? Why is it not possible to speak about "German-Jews" in the contemporary criticism about German culture? And, more to the point, what is the impact of this denial on those who (quite often ambivalently) see (or have been forced to see) themselves as "Germans" and "Jews," but not as both simultaneously.

  • Brigitte Bailer-Galanda “Revisionism”1 in Germany and Austria: the Evolution of a Doctrine
    www.doew.at Brigitte Bailer-Galanda “Revisionism”1 in Germany and Austria: The Evolution of a Doctrine Published in: Hermann Kurthen/Rainer Erb/Werner Bergmann (ed.), Anti-Sem- itism and Xenophobia in Germany after Unification, New York–Oxford 1997 Development of “revisionism” since 1945 Most people understand so called „revisionism“ as just another word for the movement of holocaust denial (Benz 1994; Lipstadt 1993; Shapiro 1990). Therefore it was suggested lately to use the word „negationism“ instead. How- ever in the author‘s point of view „revisionism“ covers some more topics than just the denying of the National Socialist mass murders. Especially in Germany and Austria there are some more points of National Socialist politics some people have tried to minimize or apologize since 1945, e. g. the responsibility for World War II, the attack on the Soviet Union in 1941 (quite a modern topic), (the discussion) about the number of the victims of the holocaust a. s. o.. In the seventies the late historian Martin Broszat already called that movement „run- ning amok against reality“ (Broszat 1976). These pseudo-historical writers, many of them just right wing extremist publishers or people who quite rapidly turned to right wing extremists, really try to prove that history has not taken place, just as if they were able to make events undone by denying them. A conception of “negationism” (Auerbach 1993a; Fromm and Kernbach 1994, p. 9; Landesamt für Verfassungsschutz 1994) or “holocaust denial” (Lipstadt 1993, p. 20) would neglect the additional components of “revision- ism”, which are logically connected with the denying of the holocaust, this being the extreme variant.

  • PORTALS to the PAST and to the FUTURE JÜRGEN SEEFELDT the Advent of the Digital Era Has Raised Questions on the Future Course of Library Development
    PORTALS TO THE PAST AND TO THE FUTURE JÜRGEN SEEFELDT The advent of the digital era has raised questions on the future course of library development. The challenge of maintaining a LUDGER SYRÉ balance between their educational, cultural and service roles has presented libraries with new challenges – challenges which their rich and varied media holdings, modern technical infrastructure and information specialist competence well equip them to face. This fourth revised and extended English edition of “Portals to the Past and to the Future” by Jürgen Seefeldt and Ludger Syré, now in its fifth German edition, is an in-depth state-of-the art report on current German librarianship. Lavishly illustrated, PORTALS the book traces the history of libraries in Germany, portrays the various types of library and cites many examples of the TO THE PAST AND TO outstanding achievements of nationwide library cooperation in the Federal Republic of Germany. The reader will gain both a revealing insight into the cultural and educational THE FUTURE policy underlying the German library system and an outline of the profession. Special at- tention has been paid to current developments such as the preservation and presentation of the common cultural heritage and the emergence of the digital library. LIBRARIES This book has been translated not only into English but also into Arabic, Italian, Japanese, Spanish, Russian and Turkish and is now the standard work on libraries and librarianship IN GERMANY in Germany. Because of the interest it has generated internationally, it was decided to pub- lish the German and English versions of this new edition simultaneously.

  • Cicero, Marcus Tullius. De Oratore. Subiaco
    Cicero, Marcus Tullius. De oratore . Subiaco : Conradus Sweynheym and Arnoldus Pannartz, 30 September 1465. 109 f. 2º Collation: a-g10, h9, i-l10 Old shelf marks: 173/5/21 The first folio contains a handwritten annotation from the nineteenth century: Jesus Maria Joseph. Tres libri de Oratore Opus Marci Tullii Ciceronis. Until recently, this book was considered to be the first printed book in Italy and outside of Germany. It is the oldest printed book preserved in the University of Barcelona Library. Probably seeking to enhance their prestige before presenting themselves in Rome, the German printers Conrad Sweynheim and Arnold Pannartz stayed for a period at the Benedictine monastery of Subiaco in Lazio, demonstrating the new invention of the printing press. At that time, Lazio was home to a large colony of German monks and the two printers published numerous works at the monastery. They printed a work by Lactantius on 29 October 1465, but no information exists on the printing date of De oratore . Documentary sources, however, do note the purchase by Carlo Fumagalli in the nineteenth century of a copy of De oratore with a handwritten note on the last page. The note states that the scholar Antonio Tridentone corrected the text on 30 September 1465, which supports the view that De oratore had already been in print a month before the edition of the Lactantius. That would make it the first book to emerge from the Subiaco printing press and, therefore, in all of Italy. The Fumagalli copy with the correction note was acquired by the Gewerbemuseum of Leipzig and later destroyed by a bombing raid during the Second World War.

  • Interview with Michael Weyl
    Library of Congress Interview with Michael Weyl The Association for Diplomatic Studies and Training Foreign Affairs Oral History Project Information Series MICHAEL WEYL Interviewed by: Hans N. Tuch Initial interview date: June 26, 1988 Copyright 1988 ADST Q: This is Hans Tuch and I'm interviewing Michael Weyl today, June 16, 1988, here in my home in Washington, D.C. This is Tape One, Side One. Thank you Mike for joining me in this conversation. By way of introduction I might just mention that Michael Weyl was born in Switzerland and received his primary education in Zurich. He then received his secondary education in Gottingen in Germany. He had his university education at Princeton University, receiving his Bachelor of Arts degree in 1937. He then went on to pursue his academic studies at the University of Wisconsin where he received his M.A. and his Ph.D., primarily in German literature but also in Scandinavian literature, art history and American literature. Origins of Public Diplomacy One of the things that we want to explore in this conversation is the origin and the early days of what we now call public diplomacy. And you happen to be one of its earliest practitioners. It's been my own personal theory, so to speak, that our present conduct of public diplomacy has its origin in two really separate sources. Interview with Michael Weyl http://www.loc.gov/item/mfdipbib001250 Library of Congress One of them was the Cold War when it was decided during the Truman Administration that the U.S. government had to do a bigger and better job than it had done before in projecting its society, its objectives, its goals to the world in contrast and in opposition to what was happening in the communist world.

Persistently promoted as health measures, many of the racial policies enacted would go on to have considerable and, in many cases, devastating consequences for the family sphere. This thesis examines one aspect of Nazi policy, the practice of genealogy. Re-envisioned and turned into a civic duty of the ‘responsible citizen,’ this one-time hobby forced Germans to reassess friendships, marriages and courtships.
