  • Heroes of the Exile
    Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels The Heroes of the Exile Written: May-June 1852; First Published: In Russian 1930, German MEW 1960; Translated by: Rodney Livingston Transcription/Markup: Andy Blunden 2002; Proofed and corrected by Mark Harris, 2010. Not often one can use a word like hilarious with Karl and Fred (though Fred was usually a much more lively and rapid writer), but Heroes of the Exile can be very funny. Wasn't published in his lifetime, though he intended it to be... (that is, it wasn't an “unfinished work” in the sense the Economic and Philsophical Manuscripts were, say).Here's a snippet from translator Rodney Livingstone's 1970 intro to Heroes -- This pamphlet is one of Marx's most brilliant satirical achievements. Its excellence as satire stands out all the more clearly for the fact that, unlike many of his other works which have a satirical element, the prime purpose of the work is satirical: a polemic on the world of German emigres with its venomous internecine struggles, its petty personality conflicts, complicated intrigues, pretentious political manoeuvres and sordid compromises with the realities of living in exile with “dubious sources of income”.It would be a mistake to suppose that the work was actuated by malice, that it was merely a series of personal attacks on people who irritated Marx. It is often supposed that Marx was essentially a heavy, humourless man and that if his works contain humour it is the expression only of a ponderous, “Germanic” predilection for sarcasm without true wit or feeling. His talent for polemic is then seen as springing from an almost obsessive compulsion to win, to be in the right, to beat down all opposition.

  • Across Borders Vi: the West Looks East
    INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ACROSS BORDERS VI: THE WEST LOOKS EAST KROSNO, 27-28 April 2015 BOOK OF ABSTRACTS Plenary Lectures Beyond Boundaries, Barriers, and Borders James Underhill University of Rouen, France The end of the Cold War heralded in a new rhetoric of togetherness. Breaking down the Berlin Wall, following the Solidarnosc movement, was about bringing Europeans back together again. Celebrations of this reunification are common throughout European languages, and they reached new heights with the 2007 celebration of the Wall coming down. This is a discourse that rejects boundaries, barriers, and borders. But can we move beyond boundaries, borders, and barriers? Are they not fundamental for the ways in which we carve up the world, in any community, and in any language? Are they not a part of security for us all, at a deeply personal level? And are they not being harnessed by the new political discourse on ‘Security’. While the Guardian laments that 6000 miles of new walls are going up, dividing families, communities, and countries, Obama boasts he has tripled the number of border guards patrolling the US-Mexican border. This paper will consider the reasons why barriers, borders, and boundaries seem to form part of the spatial logic of any culture. Drawing on philosophers of space (Lefebvre) and the French poetics of space (Matoré & Bachelard), we will consider to what extent European languages like English, French, German and Czech are engaged in a double-talk about boundaries. On the one hand, the market, society, and the Internet is opening up. On the other, new forms of discourse and policies are closing off parts of society, and enclosing us in newly-defined spaces, as insiders or outsiders.

  • For Pleasure and for Prizes. Danish Plein Air Painting of the 1820S
    ARTICLE For pleasure and for prizes. Danish plein air painting of the 1820s The introduction of plein-air painting in Denmark in the 1820s is traditionallyattributed Eckersberg, but in fact students at the art academy were behind the initiative to paint outdoors. By Jesper Svenningsen / Published October 2015 RESUMÉ The article describes the introduction of plein-air painting in 1820s Denmark, which was partly undertaken through the initiatives of a group of young academy students acting independently at the beginning of the decade, and partly through official art academy initiatives from 1823 onwards. With J.P. Møller’s introduction of an annual competition on landscape painting, open-air painting became part of the academic curriculum for painters – an initiative that recent art history usually attributes to Eckersberg. ARTICLE It is a well-known, much-described fact that between 1780 and 1830, almost all art scenes in Europe developed a keen interest in painting out of doors. In Denmark, the introduction of plein-air painting has long been attributed to C.W. Eckersberg, who began working in this manner while abroad in 1810–16, first in Paris, then in Rome. Eckersberg is also supposedly the man responsible for making outdoor painting part of the official curriculum of Academy studies in Denmark; an alleged honour bestowed on him due to the excursions he arranged for his students to areas north of Copenhagen in the 1830s.1 However, this widespread belief is not entirely unproblematic. Closer inspection would seem to reveal that the true breakthrough of plein-air painting in Denmark actually took place a decade before Eckersberg conducted his much-acclaimed tours, and that this breakthrough took place in circles and settings that were very different from those of the professor’s own group of students.

A refreshing interven� on in dance studies, this book brings together elements of historiography, cultural memory, folklore, and dance across compara� vely narrow but W markedly heterogeneous locali� es. Rooted in inves� ga� ons of o� en newly discovered primary sources, the essays aff ord many opportuni� es to compare sociocultural and ALTZING poli� cal reac� ons to the arrival and prac� ce of popular rota� ng couple dances, such as the Waltz and the Polka.

  • A Social History of the Divide Between East and West
    Germany versus Russia: A Social History of the Divide between East and West by Florian Gassner A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY in The Faculty of Graduate Studies (German) The University of British Columbia (Vancouver) March 2012 © Florian Gassner, 2012 Abstract The present study investigates European and in particular German representations of Russia in the eighteenth and nineteenth century. Specifically, it discusses the image of Russia with regard to its influence on the formation of German identity. This dissertation demonstrates that cultural and intellectual distinction from an ‗Eastern‘ Russia was pivotal for consolidating the ‗Western‘ identity of Germans in the middle of the nineteenth century. The point of departure for this inquiry is the work of Larry Wolff, who argued that the origins of the modern east-west dichotomy lay in the late Enlightenment period. Wolff, however, by focusing on the history of ideas, describes but the first inception of this divide. This study, in contrast, through the example of Germany, discloses the socio-historical factors which led to the popularization and consummation of the distinction between Eastern and Western Europe in the course of the eighteenth and nineteenth century. Thereby, it becomes evident that the modern east-west dichotomy was not the result of intellectual speculation, as Wolff asserts. Rather, its origins are inextricably linked to core processes in the formation of European civil society, such as the rise of the nation state idea, the popularization of liberalism, and the proliferation of racial chauvinism. Considering these factors helps fully appreciate the power of the modern east-west dichotomy and its sustained influence on German identity.
