Escallier Grant Summer v ACKNOWLEDGMENTS As with any dissertation, this project has been an enormous undertaking, and I am deeply indebted to the many scholars who have generously offered their time, guidance, and support throughout the research and writing process. Firstly, I would like to thank the Department of the History of Art and Architecture at Brown University, and my doctoral advisor, Hervé Vanel. I am also deeply indebted to K. Dian Kriz for her encouragement over the years and many helpful suggestions to the manuscript. My heartfelt thanks go to Jenny Anger, at Grinnell College, who as my third reader went above and beyond the call of duty to offer her scholarly advice and, no less important, encourage me to persevere. This dissertation bears the scholarly imprint of those who sadly passed away before it could be completed. It has been greatly enriched by Kermit Swiler Champa, who expertly and patiently guided me through my graduate studies, and Beeke Sell Tower, both of whom offered invaluable advice in the formulation of this project. My research in Germany was generously funded by a grant from the DAAD and a Joukowsky Fellowship. In Düsseldorf, I would like to thank Gertrude Cepl-Kaufmann at Heinrich Heine University, Elisabeth Scheeben at the Stadtarchiv, and Sabine Brenner at the Heinrich-Heine-Institut. It was a pleasant surprise to discover a fellow American, the incredibly helpful Dawn Leach, director of the archive of the Kunstakademie. Michael Matzigkeit at the Düsseldorf Theatermuseum spent an afternoon enthusiastically introducing me to many leading figures of Düsseldorf‘s theater and cultural scene. vi Additionally, I would like to thank Klara Drenker-Nagels at the August-Macke-Haus in Bonn and Beate Fromme at the Karl-Ernst-Osthaus-Archiv in Hagen. I am so grateful for my friends and family, who over the years have offered countless words of encouragement and demonstrated an unfailing belief in my ability to complete this monumental task. Amanda Burdan provided insightful suggestions on early drafts. Hywel Jones and Jenny Shearer offered their love and support, as well as provided many wonderful diversions to my research. Bill Childree served faithfully and energetically as my champion in Germany, and was always there to share each milestone on this journey. My wonderful host family, Luitgarde, Eckart, Katharina, and Nikolaus Schlemm and Spes Pompe, gave me roots in my second home since my time as a college exchange student in Bonn—and provided me with an excellent foundation for researching in the German language. I want to give special thanks to my parents, Paul and Kathleen Mitzen, for their unconditional love and support, as well as their generous financial assistance, which enabled me to concentrate on writing. In addition, my grandmother, Meta Goble, made funding my first year at Brown possible. She is dearly missed. Finally, and most of all, I am deeply indebted to my best friend of fourteen years, Michael O. Voll, without whose friendship, wisdom, and unwavering support none of this would have been possible. I feel truly blessed. Anne M.

  • L'immagine Dell'italia, Eredità Antica
    L’immagine dell’Italia, eredità antica di Maria Grazia Maioli Archeologo Emerito della Soprintendenza per i Beni Archeologici dell’Emilia-Romagna Se chiedete a un ragazzo delle elementari o delle medie qual è la prima immagine che gli viene in mente pensando all’Italia, probabilmente vi dirà la sua forma geografica, il famoso stivale. Solo in seguito (ma non è detto) farà cenno alla figura femminile avvolta nel tricolore che compare a fumetto anche nei titoli di una famosa trasmissione televisiva. Vedere l’Italia come una persona che esiste e agisce non è al giorno d’oggi così immediato come poteva essere in altri momenti della storia patria. Manca l’abitudine all’utilizzo dei simboli e delle raffigurazioni simboliche, come è appunto la personificazione dell’Italia. Eppure la figura femminile, più o meno vestita come una donna “antica”, con la corona turrita, lo stellone in fronte e, nel caso, anche la spada, era per i nostri antenati un’immagine costantemente presente, fosse solo a livello inconscio. Compariva quasi ovunque ed era il simbolo dell’Italia, della Repubblica Italiana e quindi dell’essere Italiani: tutti sapevano che la testa turrita raffigurata un po’ dappertutto, dai francobolli alle monete, ai documenti ufficiali, rappresentava l’unione in un’unica matrice. La testa turrita è diventata il simbolo ufficiale dell’Italia solo dopo il referendum che sancì la 25 maggio 1958, Elezioni politiche fine della monarchia dei Savoia, dopo la Sulla copertina della Domenica del Corriere seconda guerra mondiale. Il simbolo non è l’Italia invita gli elettori a recarsi a votare comparso all’improvviso ma ha avuto una lunga gestazione, con variazioni nell’immagine e negli attributi che la caratterizzavano.

  • Die Deutsche Nationalhymne
    Wartburgfest 1817 III. Die deutsche Nationalhymne 1. Nationen und ihre Hymnen Seit den frühesten Zeiten haben Stämme, Völker und Kampfeinheiten sich durch einen gemeinsamen Gesang Mut zugesungen und zugleich versucht, den Gegner zu schrecken. Der altgriechische Päan ist vielleicht das bekannteste Beispiel. Parallel zum Aufkommen des Nationalismus entwickelten die Staaten nationale, identitätsstiftende Lieder. Die nieder- ländische Hymne stammt aus dem 16 Jahrhundert und gilt als die älteste. Wilhelmus von Nassawe bin ich von teutschem blut, dem vaterland getrawe bleib ich bis in den todt; 30 ein printze von Uranien bin ich frey unverfehrt, den könig von Hispanien hab ich allzeit geehrt. Die aus dem Jahre 1740 stammen Rule Britannia ist etwas jünger, und schon erheblich nationalistischer. When Britain first, at Heaven‘s command Arose from out the azure main; This was the charter of the land, And guardian angels sang this strain: „Rule, Britannia! rule the waves: „Britons never will be slaves.“ usw. Verbreitet waren Preisgesänge auf den Herrscher: Gott erhalte Franz, den Kaiser sang man in Österreich, God save the king in England, Boshe chrani zarja, was dasselbe bedeutet, in Rußland. Hierher gehören die dänische Hymne Kong Christian stod ved højen mast i røg og damp u. a. Die französische Revolution entwickelte eine Reihe von Revolutionsge- sängen, die durchweg recht brutal daherkommen, wie zum Beispiel das damals berühmte Ah! ça ira, ça ira, ça ira, Les aristocrates à la lanterne! Ah! ça ira, ça ira, ça ira, Les aristocrates on les pendra! also frei übersetzt: Schaut mal her, kommt zuhauf, wir hängen alle Fürsten auf! Auch die blutrünstige französische Nationalhymne, die Mar- seillaise, stammt aus dieser Zeit: Allons enfants de la patrie.

  • German Expressionism: the Second Generation (Los Angeles: Los Angeles County Museum of Art, 1988): 10-37
    Stephanie Barron, “Introduction” to Barron (ed.), German Expressionism: The Second Generation (Los Angeles: Los Angeles County Museum of Art, 1988): 10-37. The notion that all the significant achievements of German Expressionism occurred before 1914 is a familiar one. Until recently most scholars and almost all exhibitions of German Expressionist work have drawn the line with the 1913 dissolution of Die Brücke (The Bridge) in Berlin or the outbreak of the First World War in 1914. Peter Selz’s pioneering study German Expressionist Painting, published in 1957, favored 1914 as a terminus as did Wolf-Dieter Dube’s Expressionism, which appeared in 1977. It is true that by 1914 personal differences had led the Brücke artists to dissolve their association, and Der Blaue Reiter (The Blue Rider) had disintegrated when Wassily Kandinsky returned from Munich to Russia and Franz Marc volunteered for war service. Other artists’ associations also broke up when their members were drafted. Thus, the outbreak of the war has provided a convenient endpoint for many historians, who see the postwar artistic activities of Ernst Barlach, Max Beckmann, Oskar Kokoschka, Kathe Kollwitz, and others as individual, not group responses and describe the 1920s as the period of developments at the Bauhaus in Weimar or of the growing popularity of Neue Sachlichkeit (New Objectivity). The years 1915-25 have been lost, or certainly not adequately defined, as a coherent and potent, albeit brief, idealistic period in the evolution of German Expressionism. More recent scholarship, including Dube’s Expressionists and Expressionism (1983) and Donald E. Gordon’s Expressionism- Art and Idea (1987), sees the movement as surviving into the 1920s.

Yita 111im m,rtu,rum in mtmoria viwrum ,11 p,tita. _;, Citm. COMPILED BY HOWARD JAMES BANKER. 1909. THE TUTTLE COllP~\NY PRINTERS BUTLAND, VERMONT PREFACE. The production of this work has been of the nature of a pro­ cess of evolution, which the writer has found necessary to bring to an abrupt close in the interest.a of self-preservation. When but a boy of flfte~n he became interested in inquiring about his ancestors concerning whom he was able to learn very little from his immediate relatives. This only intensified his curiosity to find out something about them. He at length happened on an old family Bible• that greatly stimulated his interest' and incited him to collect the family records. For years this was a mere pastime and the material accumulated slowly with no thought of its ever being published. About 1899 he stumbled upon the Records of the Dutch Reformed Church of Sleepy Hollow near Tarrytown and to his amazement found this a per.feet mine of information respecting his family. The search of various records in and about New York became fascinating and absorbed much of his leisure time. The accumulation of material grew rapidly until it became impressed upon him that it would be a misfortune if all that he had gathered should be lost as it probably would be lost forever. It was apparent that the only way to preserve it per.

  • Arts and the City Abstract Booklet
    Arts and the City International Conference Budapest, 23-24 May 2019 Booklet of Abstracts artsandthecity2019.wordpress.com Keynote Speakers BERNARDINE EVARISTO, writer, London (author of Lara, Soul Tourists and Blonde Roots, among other novels) “The Many Londons of Amazing London: The Capital as Muse & City of Experimentation for this Black Woman Writer” As a writer of fiction and verse fiction, London has been a muse in most of my eight books. I am constantly finding ways to narrativize it from multiple perspectives, and through different eras and generations, as well as creating imaginary versions of the capital city in two of my books where I invented parallel universes. In my talk I will investigate how London has manifested as a guiding light for my imagination, how my writing subverts the dominant narratives about the city today and in history, and how London’s rich multiculturalism presents never-ending possibilities for creativity and storytelling. ANDREW GIBSON, Royal Holloway, University of London “The City and the Historicity of Affect in European Art Cinema 1945-80” The city, the metropolis, the megalopolis is what is increasingly given us to think and think from. Cities are where we can pursue truth and reality. What exactly does the city, or, if you like, the planetary megalopolis gives us to think? For me, above all, a historical materialism; but a historical materialism that is sui generis, of its own kind, not to be confused with other historical materialisms, a historical materialism specifically of the city. On the one hand, self- evidently, cities are always material entities, cannot be otherwise.
