Wilhelm Busch: the Art of Letting Off Steam Through Symbolic Inversion Wilhelm Busch: The Art of Letting Off Steam Through Symbolic Inversion By Joan Elizabeth Gladwell A thesis submitted to the Graduate Program in German in conformity with the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Queen’s University Kingston, Ontario, Canada April 2013 Copyright © Joan Elizabeth Gladwell, 2013 Abstract In the aftermath of the failed revolution of 1848, which had been sparked by demands for democracy and constitutional reform, Germany’s princes reluctantly introduced new freedoms regarding print and the right to assembly. However, reactionary forces in governments unwilling to cede power quickly repressed these freedoms, leading to tighter controls on public and private life. Consequently, dispirited citizens clutched at the old Biedermeier ways, withdrawing to an “ill-remembered social order of bygone days” (Shorter 169). It was against this backdrop that the illustrated works of Wilhelm Busch (1832–1908) appeared in the popular Bilderbogen (“picture broadsheets”) of the day, and later as stand-alone Bildergeschichten (“picture stories”), using satire and symbolic inversion to mock German society by skewering assorted political, social, and cultural sacred cows. The aim of my dissertation is as follows. I will start by examining Busch’s use of symbolic inversion as a way of implying a shift in power between figures of authority and the disgruntled “second-class” citizens of Biedermeier society: women and children. Next, I will examine how Busch’s animal characters, particularly apes with their close resemblance to mankind, mock human pretensions of biological superiority. Finally, I will show how objects meant to serve their human “masters” overpower them, even in their homes, suggesting that there was no refuge from the vagaries of a rapidly changing world. Key to my analysis will be an exploration of the mechanism of “inside out” and “upside down,” described by Mikhail Bakhtin with regards to the carnival scenes of Gargantua et Pantagruel , as a sanctioned and mocking way of questioning the power of the state and its institutions. Along the way, I will compare and contrast Busch’s picture stories with similar strips in the Fliegende Blätter , in order to prove how groundbreaking the author’s exposé of nineteenth-century German society truly was. As I explore the synergy between image and word, I will demonstrate how ii Busch’s use of symbolic inversion is slyly subversive, undermining established authority in the political, social, and cultural arenas, and providing a safety valve in the form of humour that transcends the boundaries of class, education, and gender. iii Acknowledgements Without the encouragement and support of many individuals, this project would never have come to fruition. At Queen’s University, I would like to thank my Doktormutter , Dr. Christiane Arndt, for her guidance during the research and writing of my dissertation. A debt of gratitude also goes to Dr. Jill Scott and Dr. David Pugh for their invaluable insights and resolute confidence over the past years. I would also like to thank Dr. Jean-Jacques Hamm ( Queen’s University ) and Dr. Christine Lehleiter ( University of Toronto ) for their useful remarks. This has been the most challenging assignment of my life, one I would not have missed for the world.

  • Archiv Der Evangelischen Kirche Im Rheinland Findbuch Professor Lic. Wilhelm Mundle
    Archiv der Evangelischen Kirche im Rheinland Findbuch Professor lic. Wilhelm Mundle 7NL 124B bearbeitet von Dr. Stefan Flesch 2000 Nachlass Professor lic. Wilhelm Mundle Vorbemerkung Wilhelm Friedrich Mundle wurde am 28. April 1892 als Sohn des Missionsinspektors Gottlob Mundle in Stuttgart geboren. Nach dem Studium der Theologie und Geschichte in Tübingen, Berlin und vor allem Marburg und dem Kriegsdienst 1915-1917 promovierte er bei Adolf Jülicher. Nach der anschließenden Habilitation war Mundle 1919-1925 als Dozent für neutestamentliche Theologie an der Universität Marburg tätig und wurde 1925 noch zum a. o. Professor ernannt. Er trat dann in den Pfarrdienst als Hilfsprediger in Eller-Wersten und amtierte seit 1927 als Pfarrer in Marxloh. 1942 wechselte er nach Boppard. 1961 trat er in den Ruhestand und zog wieder nach Marburg, wo er am 20. Dezember 1971 verstarb. Aus seiner 1923 geschlossenen Ehe mit der Ärztin Hanna Meinhof gingen vier Töchter hervor. Der Bestand umfaßt den Zeitraum 1907-1971 (mit einigen Vorstücken bis 1884 und Korrespondenzteilen der Witwe bis 1988). Er wurde vom Unterzeichnenden geordnet und verzeichnet und wird nun als Depositum im Archiv der EKiR in Boppard aufbewahrt. Theologiegeschichtlich interessant sind vor allem die Vorlesungen, Publikationen und Korrespondenzen Mundles aus den 1920er Jahren. Mundle machte sich als Paulus-Kenner einen Namen, wobei er sich zu einem scharfen Antagonisten Rudolf Bultmanns entwickelte. Zahlreiche Predigten dokumentieren den Pfarralltag vor allem aus der Bopparder Zeit und auch die privaten Seiten seiner Biographie gewinnen durch die erhaltenen umfänglichen Korrespondenzteile deutliche Konturen. Die zahlreichen Briefe seines Vaters Gottlob Mundle befinden sich in dessen Nachlass ebenfalls im Bopparder Archiv.

Pendas This dissertation examines the relationship between Black America and East Germany from 1949 to 1989, exploring the ways in which two unlikely partners used international solidarity to achieve goals of domestic importance. Despite the growing number of works addressing the black experience in and with Imperial Germany, Nazi Germany, West Germany, and contemporary Germany, few studies have devoted attention to the black experience in and with East Germany. In this work, the outline of this transatlantic relationship is defined, detailing who was involved in the friendship, why they were involved, and what they hoped to gain from this alliance.

  • ANGLO-GERMAN CULTURAL RELATIONS Language & Literature
    ANGLO-GERMAN CULTURAL RELATIONS Language & literature, travel & tourism, c.1714–1914 The catalogue before you, published to mark my tenth anniversary as an independent bookseller, has been years in the making. Many people know me for selling Russian material, but in fact my interest in Germany About has always been stronger. German has always been my favoured foreign this language and I have enjoyed finding, researching, and writing about the catalogue books, manuscripts, music, and ephemera which make up this catalogue. It’s only when you specialize, and collect, in any depth that things start to get interesting, and that has certainly been the case here. You see connections, reactions, and developments; pieces of a historical jigsaw fall into place. The material here charts the cultural connections between the English- and German-speaking worlds in, roughly, the two hundred years between the Hanoverian Succession and the First World War. Through travel and translation, one culture discovers another; discovery then leads to influence. A German immigrant teaches music in London, the same year (1737) an Englishman in Göttingen compiles the first anthology of English literature for Germans. Later, in the 1760s, the first English translations of German literature are mirrored by the appearance of Wieland’s influential edition of Shakespeare. The catalogue documents two major eighteenth- century European literary events: Ossian and Werther, both linked by and to the young Goethe, whose own Faust so captured the English imagination in the nineteenth century. (The web of influence within literature itself is likewise tantalising: Werther reads Ossian, Frankenstein’s monster reads Werther.) The rise of the Gothic is also found here: Bürger’s Lenore in five English translations (1796–7), one of them Walter Scott’s first book, but the influence, surprisingly perhaps, was felt even earlier (and the other way round), in Sophia Lee’s The Recess, translated by Benedikte Naubert in 1786.

  • John Boydell's Shakespeare Gallery and the Promotion of a National Aesthetic

It explores a number of trajectories embarked upon by Boydell and his artists in their collective attempt to promote an English aesthetic. It broadly argues that the Shakespeare Gallery offered an antidote to a variety of perceived problems which had emerged at the Royal Academy over the previous twenty years, defining itself against Academic theory and practice. Identifying and examining the cluster of spatial, ideological and aesthetic concerns which characterised the Shakespeare Gallery, my research suggests that the Gallery promoted a vision for a national art form which corresponded to contemporary senses of English cultural and political identity, and takes issue with current art-historical perceptions about the 'failure' of Boydell's scheme. The introduction maps out some of the existing scholarship in this area and exposes the gaps which art historians have previously left in our understanding of the Shakespeare Gallery.
