  • Nachruf Auf Inge Von Wangenheim
    NACHRUF AUF: INGE VON WARNHEIM Wolfgang Knappe Sie schloß sich Ende der zwanziger Jahre als Schauspielerin linken Theatertruppen um Erwin Piscator und Gustav von Wangenheim an, wurde 1930 Mitglied der KPD und emigrierte vor dem Faschismus in die Sowjetunion. Dort war sie u.a. als Redakteurin für die Bewegung „Freies Deutschland" tätig. Nach ihrer Rückkehr übersiedelte sie alsbald nach Thüringen. Hier gehörte Inge von Wangenheim ü- ber Jahrzehnte zu den literarisch und kulturpolitisch prägenden Persönlichkeiten, die u.a. durch die gründliche Erörterung problematischer Fragen und den sensiblen Umgang mit ihrer Lebensumgebung geschätzt und geachtet war Wenige Monate vor ihrem Tod führte WOLFGANG KNAPPE mit ihr folgendes Gespräch, das als eine ihrer letzten öffentlichen Äußerungen gilt: Frau von Wangenheim, es heißt, das Beste, was ein Mensch weiterzugeben habe, sei seine Lebens- erfahrung. Was würden Sie aus Ihrem reichen Leben vererben wollen? In meinem 60 jährigen Berufsleben am Theater, beim Film, in der Presse und schließlich in der Litera- tur fand ein mit Schmerzlichkeit verbundener Kampf um die Erkenntnis der Wirklichkeit statt. Ich habe immer wissen wollen, was ist! Nur wenn ich dieses zu wissen glaubte, wagte ich zu sagen, was sein soll. Ich halte es mit Lessing: Das Suchen nach der Wahrheit ist die Hauptsache. Sie zu finden, bleibt ein Glücksfall. Lessing: „Es ereifere jeder seiner unbestochenen, von Vorurteilen freien Liebe nach. Es strebe jeder von Euch um die Wette, die Kraft des Steins in seinen Ring zu legen ..." Welches waren die wichtigsten Stationen Ihres Lebens? Die erste prägende Station meiner Jugend war die Motzstraße in Berlin-Schöneberg. Ich bin ein Kind der Weimarer Republik.

  • The East German Writers Union and the Role of Literary Intellectuals In
    Writing in Red: The East German Writers Union and the Role of Literary Intellectuals in the German Democratic Republic, 1971-90 Thomas William Goldstein A dissertation submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of History. Chapel Hill 2010 Approved by: Konrad H. Jarausch Christopher Browning Chad Bryant Karen Hagemann Lloyd Kramer ©2010 Thomas William Goldstein ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii Abstract Thomas William Goldstein Writing in Red The East German Writers Union and the Role of Literary Intellectuals in the German Democratic Republic, 1971-90 (Under the direction of Konrad H. Jarausch) Since its creation in 1950 as a subsidiary of the Cultural League, the East German Writers Union embodied a fundamental tension, one that was never resolved during the course of its forty-year existence. The union served two masters – the state and its members – and as such, often found it difficult fulfilling the expectations of both. In this way, the union was an expression of a basic contradiction in the relationship between writers and the state: the ruling Socialist Unity Party (SED) demanded ideological compliance, yet these writers also claimed to be critical, engaged intellectuals. This dissertation examines how literary intellectuals and SED cultural officials contested and debated the differing and sometimes contradictory functions of the Writers Union and how each utilized it to shape relationships and identities within the literary community and beyond it. The union was a crucial site for constructing a group image for writers, both in terms of external characteristics (values and goals for participation in wider society) and internal characteristics (norms and acceptable behavioral patterns guiding interactions with other union members).

The “Great Meme War:” the Alt-Right and its Multifarious Enemies 1 The “Great Meme War:” the Alt- Right and its Multifarious Enemies Maxime Dafaure Memes and the metapolitics of the alt-right 1 The alt-right has been a major actor of the online culture wars of the past few years. Since it came to prominence during the 2014 Gamergate controversy,1 this loosely- defined, puzzling movement has achieved mainstream recognition and has been the subject of discussion by journalists and scholars alike. Although the movement is notoriously difficult to define, a few overarching themes can be delineated: unequivocal rejections of immigration and multiculturalism among most, if not all, alt- right subgroups; an intense criticism of feminism, in particular within the manosphere community, which itself is divided into several clans with different goals and subcultures (men’s rights activists, Men Going Their Own Way, pick-up artists, incels).2 Demographically speaking, an overwhelming majority of alt-righters are white heterosexual males, one of the major social categories who feel dispossessed and resentful, as pointed out as early as in the mid-20th century by Daniel Bell, and more recently by Michael Kimmel (Angry White Men 2013) and Dick Howard (Les Ombres de l’Amérique 2017).

The backlash, which has been happening over the last several years, has decreased the level of protection of women and girls and reduced access to their rights.
