August 1930 feierlich den Goethe-Preis der Stadt Frankfurt verliehen bekam, erlaubte es der Gesundheitszustand des 74jährigen nicht, daß er selber den Preis entgegennahm. Durch seine Tochter Anna Freud ließ er eine Dankesrede verlesen, in der er der Beziehung der Psychoanalyse zum Werk Goethes nachging und sich auch mit der Kritik auseinandersetzte, die in dem Versuch einer psychoanalytischen Betrachtung Goethes bereits eine Erniedrigung des Dichters sah. Freud hielt den anwesenden politischen und intellektuellen Honoratioren der Stadt Frankfurt vor: „Unsere Einstellung zu Vätern und Lehrern ist nun einmal eine ambivalente, denn unsere Verehrung für sie deckt regelmäßig eine Komponente feindseliger Auflehnung". Diese auf Goethe hin gesprochenen Worte, ließen sich für den, der es hören wollte, auch mühelos auf den Goethe-Preisträger selber beziehen, denn der Feier im Goethe-Haus ging eine ungewöhnlich kontroverse Diskussion um Freud im Preiskuratorium voraus, welche zwar eine Mehrheit für Freud ergab, aber die Polarisierung der Meinungen keineswegs aufheben konnte.

We are happy to be part of Washington’s dy- namic, diverse arts scene, and invite you to take part in our cultural exchange and dialogue. This fall is a special time in Germany’s history – in October we celebrate twenty years of German unity. The artistic expression that occurred in Germany during its division and following its reunification is showcased in the Goethe-Institut’s film series Made in West/East Germany and in Edison Place Gallery’s Break- through! exhibition. WELCOME Coincidentally, the Goethe-Institut Washington opened its doors for the first time twenty years ago this fall. The institute commemorates this milestone with several events, includ- ing a design competition to unify and freshen the Institute’s façade. Modern-day Germany is presented through events such as the film series Afrodeutsche: Afro-Germans in Film and discussions of green living and design. Our FotoGaler- ie, home to contemporary German photography, features two distinct shows this season, both opening with the artists. Whether you speak German well or are just beginning, the Goethe-Institut has a lan- guage course at your level. For further practice, take part in the monthly Deutsch am Mittag. Please consider joining Friends of the Goethe-Institut to support our important work.

  • Prescribed Literature in Translation: Additional Guidance Critical Summaries of Selected Works
    Diploma Programme Prescribed literature in translation: Additional guidance Critical summaries of selected works © International Baccalaureate Organization 2012 1 Purpose of this document This publication is intended to provide teachers with additional guidance in teaching the Diploma Programme language A courses for first teaching from September 2011. It should be read in conjunction with the Prescribed literature in translation (PLT) list (2011), and the language A guides. The purpose of this teacher support material is to help teachers choose works in translation for study in the language A courses. The IB has ensured that the PLT list offers not only works which are classics in the global sense, but also works which are classics within the literary tradition of their original language of publication. These may not yet have received international recognition. In the case of such works, information in the IB’s working languages may not be readily available. Thus, when planning a language A course of study, teachers may experience difficulty in deciding whether such a work will fit in with the other works on their planned course, or provide suitable material for their student group. This document aims to provide teachers with information about selected works from the PLT in order to help them make more informed choices as they construct their language A courses. It is hoped that this document will empower teachers to choose from a wider range of works on the PLT, and consequently improve student access to a diverse range of literature. The intended audience for this document is teachers. However, the information is directly relevant to students; teachers are therefore encouraged to share this document with them, as appropriate.

  • A Comparative Investigation of Thomas Mann's Der Zauberberg and TS
    Bourgeois Ambivalence: A Comparative Investigation of Thomas Mann’s Der Zauberberg and T. S. Eliot’s The Waste Land by Primrose May Deen Young A thesis submitted to the University of Birmingham for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Department of Modern Languages School of Languages, Cultures, Art History and Music College of Arts and Law University of Birmingham September 2016 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties. The intellectual property rights of the author or third parties in respect of this work are as defined by The Copyright Designs and Patents Act 1988 or as modified by any successor legislation. Any use made of information contained in this thesis/dissertation must be in accordance with that legislation and must be properly acknowledged. Further distribution or reproduction in any format is prohibited without the permission of the copyright holder. Abstract The thesis explores important similarities and differences between responses to bourgeois society in Thomas Mann’s Der Zauberberg (1924) and T. S. Eliot’s The Waste Land (1922). It examines these texts’ presentations of the shifting morality of bourgeois culture, the prevailing sense of paralysis and fragmentation at the beginning of the twentieth century, and compares the authors’ use of allusions to myth, and their explorations of concepts of time. However, by considering the ambivalent responses to bourgeois society as they are presented within these texts, and a selection of Mann and Eliot’s other creative and critical works, the thesis also highlights significant differences in the authors’ responses to bourgeois society, which are indicative of the broader divergent traditions in which they positioned themselves.

Kirsten Kearney Submitted for the award of Doctor of Philosophy School of Languages, Cultures and Religions • German University of Stirling January 2007 CH •X ANG DF E P w Click to buy NOW! w m o w c .d k. ocu•trac ii Abstract This thesis focuses on the importance of the ballad in constructing national identity in Germany during the 20th century from 1918•1978. It presents a comparative approach using Scotland as a comparator, based on three significant time periods throughout the century: the Weimar Republic, the Nazi era and the German folk revival. In each of these eras the issue of national awareness was most in evidence and national identity was being created or was a particular object of tension. The modern Scottish literary renaissance and the Scottish folk revival will be used for comparative purposes. The comparative approach will also aid a deeper understanding of the concept of national identity itself. The hypothesis is that the ballad has contributed to the development of national identity in specific and differing ways in the two countries. Selected artists; poets, singers and Liedermacher have been chosen as representatives for each particular stage. The ballad in the 20th century has previously received little critical attention, thus this period has been chosen as the time frame of the thesis in an attempt to redress this balance and create new knowledge.

  • HEINE, HÖLDERLIN, and GOETHE in the MUSIC of HANNS EISLER Heidi Hart a Dissertation Submitted to the Faculty
    CONTRARY VOICES: HEINE, HÖLDERLIN, AND GOETHE IN THE MUSIC OF HANNS EISLER Heidi Hart A dissertation submitted to the faculty at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Carolina- Duke Graduate Program in German Studies. Chapel Hill 2016 Approved by: Thomas Pfau Bryan Gilliam Eric Downing Gabriel Trop Lawrence Kramer Jørgen Bruhn © 2016 Heidi Hart ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Heidi Hart: Contrary Voices: Heine, Hölderlin, and Goethe in the Music of Hanns Eisler (Under the direction of Thomas Pfau) Contrary Voices examines composer Hanns Eisler’s settings of nineteenth-century poetry under changing political pressures from 1925 to 1962. The poets’ ideologically fraught reception histories, both under Nazism and in East Germany, led Eisler to intervene in this reception and voice dissent by radically fragmenting the texts. His musical settings both absorb and disturb the charisma of nineteenth-century sound materials, through formal parody, dissonance, and interruption. Eisler’s montage-like work foregrounds the difficult position of a modernist artist speaking both to and against political demands placed on art. Often the very charisma the composer seeks to expose for its power to sway the body politic exerts a force of its own. At the same time, his text-settings resist ideological rigidity in their polyphonic play. A dialogic approach to musical adaptation shows that, as Eisler seeks to resignify Heine’s problematic status in the Weimar Republic, Hölderlin’s appropriation under Nazism, and Goethe’s status as a nationalist symbol in the nascent German Democratic Republic, his music invests these poetic voices with surprising fragility and multivalence.
