Tell us once, where you will begin. In a place where there are already Christians? or where there are none? Where there are Christians you come too late. The English, Dutch, Portuguese, and Spanish control a good part of the farthest seacoast. Where then? . In China only recently the Tartars mercilessly murdered the Christians and their preachers. Will you go there? Where then, you honest Germans? . Dear Justinian, stop dreaming, lest Satan deceive you in a dream! Admonition to Justinian von Weltz, Protestant missionary in Latin America, from Johann H. Ursinius, Lutheran Superintendent at Regensburg (1664)1 When China was ruled by the Han and Jin dynasties, the Germans were still living as savages in the jungles. In the Chinese Six Dynasties period they only managed to create barbarian tribal states. During the medieval Dark Ages, as war raged for a thousand years, the [German] people could not even read and write. Our China, however, that can look back on a unique five-thousand-year-old culture, is now supposed to take advice [from Germany], contrite and with its head bowed. What a shame! 2 KANG YOUWEI, “Research on Germany’s Political Development” (1906) Germans in Colonial Kiaochow,3 1897–1904 During the 1860s the Germans began discussing the possibility of obtaining a coastal entry point from which they could expand inland into China.

Signature: Summary As the first comprehensive work on the German colonial settler newspapers in Africa between 1898 and 1916, this research project explores the development of the settler press, its networks and infrastructure, its contribution to the construction of identities, as well as to the imagination and creation of colonial space. Special attention is given to the newspapers’ relation to Africans, to other imperial powers, and to the German homeland. The research contributes to the understanding of the history of the colonisers and their societies of origin, as well as to the history of the places and people colonised.

    Empire in the Heimat: Colonialism and Public Culture in the Third Reich'

    H-Diplo Zollmann on Sandler, 'Empire in the Heimat: Colonialism and Public Culture in the Third Reich' Review published on Saturday, August 17, 2019 Willeke Sandler. Empire in the Heimat: Colonialism and Public Culture in the Third Reich. Oxford: Oxford University Press, 2018. 360 pp. $74.00 (cloth), ISBN 978-0-19-069790-7. Reviewed by Jakob Zollmann (WZB Berlin Social Science Center) Published on H-Diplo (August, 2019) Commissioned by Seth Offenbach (Bronx Community College, The City University of New York) Printable Version: http://www.h-net.org/reviews/showpdf.php?id=53492 Lobbying Germans for Colonialism, Again Those in Germany who tried to make a case for colonies stood in a long tradition, since at least the 1860s. Also since the nineteenth century, it was an often deplored “fact” among German enthusiasts of colonialism that too few of their compatriots were thoroughly interested in the colonies. Once imperial Germany did “acquire” colonies, these enthusiasts abhorred the idea that—in their eyes—criticism of colonialism was widespread. Recent research on subaltern colonialisms in Germany has added a further layer of complexity that shows the ambivalent relations and tensions between colonialist leaders and lower-class Germans with regard to the colonies and “colonial (public) culture” in Germany.[1] And even at the highest echelons of society enthusiasm for colonialism was limited: official Germany, whether imperial or republican, refrained from “recognizing colonial engagements.” For instance, there were no state funerals for “colonial pioneers” (p. 2). German society honored only a few of them, such as Hermann Wissmann, with a monument before 1914.

Die Kolonialausstellung 18962 in Berlin kann man als herausragenden Auftakt ansehen.3 Zu dieser Zeit bezweckten institutionelle und öffentliche Veranstalter das Interesse an den neuen Schutzgebieten im Volk zu wecken. Parallel dazu gab es viele kommerzielle Firmen und Personen, die mit ihren Angeboten vom Reiz des Exotischen und dem aktuellen Kolonialthema profitieren wollten. Nach dem Ende des Ersten Weltkriegs passten sich die Kommerziellen an, die Ausstellungen waren kaum oder gar nicht mehr an den ehemaligen deutschen Besitzungen orientiert, viel allgemeiner. Die staatlichen Stellen fielen praktisch weg. Es blieben die Kolonialverbände, vor allem die Deutsche Kolonial- gesellschaft (DKG), die immer wieder Ausstellungen organisierten, um den „kolonialen Gedanken im Volk wach zu halten“. Oftmals konnten sie hierbei Unterstützung in den Rathäusern der Städte finden. Erleichternd wirkte dabei sicher, daß viele Mitglieder der DKG dem gehobenen Bürgertum, der Industrie, dem Handel und dem Adel angehörten. Neben Ausstellungen wurden Vorträge, teils mit Lichtbildern und später auch Filmvorführungen organisiert. Auch in den Schulen wurden Ausstellungen initiiert, in dem man Lehrer und Schüler einband4. Das Instrumentarium wurde immer weiter perfektioniert, so daß der Reichskolonialbund, in dem die DKG 1933/36 aufging, einen umfangreichen Lagerbestand übernahm, aus dem wie aus dem Baukasten sehr schnell Ausstellungen oder Vorträge aufgebaut werden konnten.

  • Popular Nationalism, Political Culture, and the Early German Cinema, 1895-1918

    Popular Nationalism, Political Culture, and the Early German Cinema, 1895-1918

    MOBILIZING LIGHT AND SHADOW: POPULAR NATIONALISM, POLITICAL CULTURE, AND THE EARLY GERMAN CINEMA, 1895-1918 by JOHN PETERS MERSEREAU A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of History University of Toronto © Copyright by J Peters Mersereau 2015 Mobilizing Light and Shadow: Popular Nationalism, Political Culture, and the Early German Cinema, 1895-1918 J Peters Mersereau Doctor of Philosophy Department of History University of Toronto 2015 Abstract This dissertation explores representations of the German nation as projected onto German cinema screens in the years between the invention of film in 1895 and the end of the Kaiserreich in 1918. This was a period of intense growth for the German film industry. From a novelty feature in travelling exhibitions at the end of the nineteenth century, film was a part of the everyday lives of millions of Germans by the First World War. Unified only in 1871, Germany was a young state and attempts to define, popularize, and harness its national image formed a central and contested aspect of German political culture. This dissertation argues that the conflicting cinematic representations of the German nation in this period should be understood within the larger context of Wilhelmine political history and that invocations of the nation were instrumental in the development of the German cinema. Kaiser Wilhelm II, political pressure groups on the radical right, foreign and domestic film producers, and, ultimately, military and civilian authorities of the German state all promoted cinematic visions of the nation that were overlapping, complementary, and conflicting. Kaiser Wilhelm II was Germany’s first film celebrity and personified onscreen a nation of monarchists and military might, yet his media-constructed political authority was overshadowed by his film stardom.

Carl Peters (1856-1918) est l’une des figures les plus controversées du mouvement colonial allemand. Cette biographie s’inscrit dans le débat sur les raisons qui poussent Bismarck à établir un empire colonial. Selon Hans- Ulrich Wehler (Bismarck und der Imperialismus, 1984), il aurait agi pour répondre à la crise économique du Reich : la colonisation serait un « impé- rialisme social » servant de diversion pour maintenir le statu quo interne et bloquer l’essor de la social-démocratie.

    Mapping Germany's Colonial Discourse: Fantasy, Reality

    ABSTRACT Title of Dissertation: MAPPING GERMANY’S COLONIAL DISCOURSE: FANTASY, REALITY, AND DILEMMA Uche Onyedi Okafor, Doctor of Philosophy, 2013. Dissertation directed by: Professor Elke P. Frederiksen Department of Germanic Studies School of Languages, Literatures, and Cultures This project engages Germany’s colonial discourse from the 18th century to the acquisition of colonies in East Africa during the period of European imperialism. Germany’s colonial discourse started with periphery travels and studies in the 18th century. The writings of German scholars and authors about periphery space and peoples provoked a strong desire to experience the exotic periphery among Germans, particularly the literate bourgeoisie. From a spectatorial and critical positioning vis-à-vis the colonial activities of other Europeans, Germans developed a projected affinity with the oppressed peoples of the periphery. Out of the identificatory positioning with the periphery peoples emerged the fantasy of “model/humane” colonialism (Susanne Zantop). However, studies in Germany’s colonial enterprise reveal a predominance of brutality and inhumanity right from its inception in 1884. The conflictual relationship between the fantasy of “model/humane” colonialism and the reality of brutality and inhumanity, as studies reveal, causes one to wonder what happened along the way. This is the fundamental question this project deals with. Chapter one establishes the validity of the theoretical and methodological approaches used in this project – Cultural Studies, New Historicism and Postcolonialism. Chapter two is a review of secondary literatures on Germany’s colonial enterprise in general, and in Africa in particular. Chapter three focuses on the emergence of the fantasy of “model/humane” colonialism as discussed in Johann Reinhold Forster’s Observations made during a Voyage round the World, 1778, and its demonstration in Joachim Heinrich Campe’s Robinson der Jüngere, 1789.
