World War One Goes World Wide Web Proceedings International Encyclopedia of the First World War World War One Goes World Wide Web 8 October 2014 Brussels World War One Goes World Wide Web One hundred years after the outbreak of the First World War, the project “1914-1918-online. Inter- national Encyclopedia of the First World War” will provide the public with a comprehensive Open Access encyclopedia of the “Great War”. The project is coordinated at Freie Universität Berlin and funded by the German Research Foundation (Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft DFG). “1914-1918-online” combines the latest international historical research with the benefits of the semantic web. This leads to an advanced digital resource for historians worldwide. The First World War is an important point of reference for the creation of a transnational and global historical consciousness, offering a unique chance to discuss the roots of and possibilities for European inte- gration. At a time of new economic and political crises, a comprehensive examination and analysis of this “great seminal catastrophe of the twentieth century“ is indispensable. In cooperation with the federal states of Berlin and North Rhine-Westphalia and the EU-Commit- tee of the Regions, and with the support of the German Embassy in Brussels and Allianz SE, the online encyclopedia has been launched on 8 October 2014 in Brussels. Moreover an international panel discussed the First World War in the context of European historical consciousness. www.1914-1918-online.net Agenda Welcoming speech by the President of the Committee of the Regions, Michel Lebrun 7 Speech by State of Berlin Commissioner for European Affairs, Permanent Secretary Hella Dunger- 9 Löper Speech by Vice President of Freie Universität Berlin, Klaus Hoffmann-Holland 11 Presentation of 1914-1918-online by Editor in Chief, Oliver Janz 13 Panel “The First World War and European historical consciousness” with Heather Jones (historian 17 and general editor of 1914-1918-online), Paul Dujardin (Director of the Palais des BOZAR in Brus- sels) and Santanu Das (literary studies researcher, historian, and section editor of 1914-1918-on- line); Moderator: Martin Kettle (journalist) Closing speech by Member of the Parliament of North Rhine-Westphalia, Markus Töns 21 Reception with workstations for trying out the online encyclopedia 23 www.1914-1918-online.net 7 Welcome Speech by Michel Lebrun (President of the Committee of the Regions) Dear Ambassador, Dear colleagues, Dear Professors, Dear web of Alliances between Europe‘s big powers, Imperialism guests, and finally a closed form of Nationalism.

However, it becomes clear that remembering these terrible times is now more than ever necessary. In our peaceful environment in the European Union of 28 member states, many have forgotten why it was founded to start with. A significant share of EU citizens openly question the integration process and the very fundamental freedoms and values on which the European Union is built. It is more than ever important to highlight that the first objective of EU integration should und must remain the consolidation of ‚peace‘ on the continent. Because it was out of the ashes of the two world wars that the European Union, as we know it today, was forged. Yet, in historical terms the Union is still young and fragile. As Lea- ders of European Regions and Cities we should continue to stress that all conflicts in world history − including the two world wars – started “locally“. Back in 1914, the assassination of Archduke Franz-Ferdinand and his wife in Sarajevo spur- red a domino-effect of war waging on the continent, which eventually resulted in the First War at a global level.

  • Musical Imaginary, Identity and Representation: the Case of Gentleman the German Reggae Luminary
    Ali 1 Musical Imaginary, Identity and Representation: The Case of Gentleman the German Reggae Luminary A Senior Honors Thesis Presented in partial fulfillment of the requirements for graduation with distinction in Comparative Studies in the undergraduate colleges of The Ohio State University By Raghe Ali April 2013 The Ohio State University Project Advisors Professor Barry Shank, Department of Comparative Studies Professor Theresa Delgadillo, Department of Comparative Studies Ali 2 In 2003 a German reggae artist named Gentleman was scheduled to perform at the Jamworld Entertainment Center in the south eastern parish of St Catherine, Jamaica. The performance was held at the Sting Festival an annual reggae event that dates back some twenty years. Considered the world’s largest one day reggae festival, the event annually boasts an electric atmosphere full of star studded lineups and throngs of hardcore fans. The concert is also notorious for the aggressive DJ clashes1 and violent incidents that occur. The event was Gentleman’s debut performance before a Jamaican audience. Considered a relatively new artist, Gentleman was not the headlining act and was slotted to perform after a number of familiar artists who had already “hyped” the audience with popular dancehall2 reggae hits. When his turn came he performed a classical roots 3reggae song “Dem Gone” from his 2002 Journey to Jah album. Unhappy with his performance the crowd booed and jeered at him. He did not respond to the heckling and continued performing despite the audience vocal objections. Empty beer bottles and trash were thrown onstage. Finally, unable to withstand the wrath and hostility of the audience he left the stage.

  • Udr / Vertigo Berlin
    UDR / VERTIGO BERLIN ::::: single “You Remember”, out April 5, 2013 album “New Day Dawn”, out April 19, 2013 GENTLEMAN - NEW DAY DAWN Let’s talk about personality. Let’s talk about splits. About love and responsibility. About doubt, gratitude and spirit. About change and new beginnings. Let’s talk about GENTLEMAN and his new album NEW DAY DAWN which will be out on April 19, 2013. It is the 38 year-old’s sixth studio album. Two decades ago, the Cologne-based artist first set foot on Jamaican soil and over the years he has been spreading reggae music all over the globe with his shows and is now an international reggae headliner. Over the past 20 years, the intensity of his vibes and his sincere and honest personality have earned him growing respect and the love of a global audience. He lives and shares with us his stories and his experiences. Undisguised and unpretentious. The album will come out as a standard and deluxe edition and with it GENTLEMAN invites us to join him for a “New Day Dawn”. It marks an impressive next step in the artist’s career and is the purest “Gentleman”-album that has ever been. For one, it is the first album that was created completely without collaborations or featured artists. And secondly, a lot of the ideas were developed and written by Gentleman himself. “I liked the idea of creating an album that would be purely Gentleman. There was no big plan behind it, it just sort of happened. I felt that “New Day Dawn” could work without featured artists.

  • The Decision of Brexit and Its Impact on Germany and the European Union”
    “The Decision of Brexit and its Impact on Germany and the European Union” Vice Minister, Dr. Günther Horzetzky Ladies and gentlemen, dear students, I am very pleased and honored to have the opportunity to speak to you in one of the oldest universities in Japan! Thank you very much for inviting me and for making this talk possible, dear Mr. Shinyo! You all should know: Originally I simply wanted to meet Mr. Shinyo, the former Japanese Ambassador to Germany, because • I always admire his tireless efforts to bring Germany and Japan together and • it always is rewarding – for Germans in particular - to ask for his views. But for today he had asked for my view on a phenomenon which is called BREXIT, i.e. the decision of the British electorate to opt out of the European Union. I am flattered. And I am nervous. But I will try my very best, Mr. Shinyo, to outline my assessment of this democratic decision of the British people and it’s possible repercussions on the EU, Germany and on North Rhine - Westphalia (NRW) in particular. In order to give you a clear, but also an emotional picture of what is at stake, I would like to start with my very personal experience with the European Union. In the 80s of the last century. It was a EU, far smaller than it is today. But still: A union of States. 1 And now European Policy becomes very personal for a minute. I was a young trade unionist, representing the farm workers union of West Germany.

  • Taylor at EABH Prague 2015
    1 “GERMANY’S GREAT INFLATION – HOW IT CHANGED THE NATION” Talk by Frederick Taylor at EABH Prague 2015 (1 – Opening Image) Good day, ladies and gentleman. I am a historian primarily interested in politics and society, and especially in human beings’ reactions to extreme events. This has caused me to write about such things as the bombing of Dresden, the building of the Berlin Wall, and the horrific final weeks of the Second World War. It is also why I became interested in Germany’s traumatic Great Inflation, now more than ninety years in the past but still influencing how we – especially those of us who are German – think about this subject. As banking and financial historians I’m sure you are familiar with the technical aspects of the inflationary phenomenon. Milton Friedman famously proclaimed that it is “always and everywhere a monetary phenomenon”. This seems to me true in the sense that war is “always and everywhere a military phenomenon”. True (perhaps even a truism), but not quite the whole truth. As for the matter of hyperinflation, well – as Niall Ferguson has pointed out -- it’s not even close to the truth. All the states involved in the First World War experienced inflation. They overspent, they experienced shortages and hence rapidly rising prices, they debauched their currencies in one way or another, and so on. But only two of the major countries under consideration Austria-Hungary and Germany -- experienced out of control price spirals. That is, hyperinflation. And politics played a crucial role in that fact. (2 – Berlin 1910 pic) OK, this postcard photograph of Unter den Linden in Berlin – a few hundred metres east of the Brandenburg Gate -- is dated 1910.
