  • Israeli-German Relations in the Years 2000-2006: a Special Relationship Revisited
    Israeli-German Relations in the Years 2000-2006: A Special Relationship Revisited Helene Bartos St. Antony’s College Trinity Term 2007 Thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Philosophy in Modern Middle Eastern Studies Faculty of Oriental Studies University of Oxford To my mother and Joe Acknowledgements I would like to use the opportunity to express my deepest gratitude to my supervisor Dr. Emanuele Ottolenghi, who generously agreed to oversee my thesis from afar having taken up his post as the Executive Director of the Transatlantic Institute in Brussels in September 2006. Without his full-hearted support and his enduring commitment my research would not have materialised. I am further deeply indebted to Dr. Michael Willis who dedicated his precious time to discuss with me issues pertaining to my research. Special thanks also goes to Dr. Philip Robins, Senior Tutor at St. Antony’s College, for having supported my field work in Germany in the summer vacation of 2006 with a grant from the Carr and Stahl Funds, and to the Hebrew and Jewish Studies Committee and Near and Middle Eastern Studies Committee for having awarded me two research grants to finance my field work in Israel in the winter of 2006. Without listing everyone personally, I would like to thank all my interview partners as well as colleagues and friends who shared with me their thoughts on the nature of the Israeli-German relationship. Having said all this, it is only due to my mother and my boyfriend Joe who have supported me throughout six not always easy years that I have been able to study at Oxford.

  • Media Analysis of the US Election: August 2020 Insights from Pressrelations 2020 Introduction
    2020 Media Analysis of the US Election: August 2020 Insights from pressrelations 2020 Introduction In cooperation with the Fraunhofer Institute for Communication, Information Processing and Ergonomics FKIE and NewsGuard, pressrelations is conducting am in-depth media analysis that sheds light on the role of disinformation in the 2020 US election. Time window of the qualitative analysis Link to the InfoBoard The basis for this quantitative, fully automated media analysis is formed by 426 online media sources from five countries. The data from 16 of those media sources was coded by pressrelations analysts, according to qualitative criteria. The selected media sources included eight US media sources and eight online media sources from Germany, Austria and Switzerland (D-A-CH), which were analyzed for the period from August 1 to August 31, 2020. In addition, TV coverage of CNN, FOX News and ARD was examined. 9/24/2020 PAGE 2 2020 Methodology This analysis includes the assessment and mapping of the media landscape from different perspectives and is based on extensive data collection from media reports made public on the Internet or on TV channels. The amount of news about the 2020 US election campaign is immense. The volume of articles therefore made it necessary to restrict the media set to a few select media sources. The selection of media was based on the potential reach and the volume of contributions of the respective sources. Despite this restriction, a total of 13,203 posts were coded in August alone. All articles that addressed at least one of the four candidates running for the American presidency and vice presidency were examined.

  • Publishing Against the Grain
    Sixth NLPVF International Non-Fiction Conference, 2006 Publishing Against the Grain Friday morning: Commercial pressure: anathema to good publishing or essential to it? Maarten Valken – Welcome to the Rode Hoed, as this building is called, the red hat. It started out as a hatter’s shop. In the seventeenth century it became a Remonstrant church, although services were officially forbidden at that time, so it became a clandestine church. It remained a Remonstrant church until 1957, the oldest and biggest one in The Netherlands, and since 1990 it has become a debating centre. This conference is already the sixth one since we started nine years ago. We were and still are able to organise them thanks to the financial help of the Ministry of Culture and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. These conferences have become a unique place to meet, to have longer contacts, especially for publishers who have less and less time to talk to each other personally, but also between publishers and translators, and of course for the Dutch authors to get in touch with both of them. The last conferences we started to send around a survey. It was first meant as a source of ideas, but it also turned out to be a very interesting document for the discussions, and we will probably use them later. In the other room as you might have seen there are Dutch books by the authors who are here: Minka Nijhuis who is sitting here, Marjon van Royen, and Jutta Chorus who is joining us later, she will talk tomorrow.

  • Ich-Diskurse in Maxim Billers Prosa
    10 Das Buch hat die Darstellung deutsch-jüdischer Identität in ausgewählten Pro- satexten des zeitgenössischen, deutsch-jüdischen Autors Maxim Biller zum Pegisha - Begegnung Thema. Seit 1989 ist jüdisches Leben in Deutschland „sichtbarer“ und hetero- gener geworden. Das liegt maßgeblich an der veränderten Selbstrepräsentation vieler jüngerer Juden. In und mit seinen Texten Der gebrauchte Jude (2009), Jüdische Studien Esra (2003), Die Tochter (2000) und seinen Kurzgeschichten (1990/1994) bricht Maxim Biller – der kontroverseste Vertreter der sogenannten Zweiten Herausgegeben von Dorothee Gelhard Generation – mit den Tabus, die den Diskurs über deutsch-jüdische Identität nach wie vor bestimmen. Wie, warum und mit welchen Effekten er das macht, analysiert die Autorin mithilfe von Michel Foucaults Diskurstheorie und Judith Butlers Theorie der Performativität. 10 Bettina Codrai Ich-Diskurse in Maxim Billers Prosa Bettina Codrai studierte Literatur- und Geschichtswissenschaften an der Hum- boldt-Universität Berlin und der Universität Fribourg (Schweiz).
