    The Practice and Politics of Children’s Music Education in the German Democratic Republic, 1949-1976 By Anicia Chung Timberlake A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Music in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Richard Taruskin, Chair Professor Mary Ann Smart Professor Nicholas Mathew Professor Martin Jay Spring 2015 Abstract The Practice and Politics of Children’s Music Education in the German Democratic Republic, 1949-1976 by Anicia Chung Timberlake Doctor of Philosophy in Music University of California, Berkeley Professor Richard Taruskin, Chair This dissertation examines the politics of children’s music education in the first decades of the German Democratic Republic. The East German state famously attempted to co-opt music education for propagandistic purposes by mandating songs with patriotic texts. However, as I show, most pedagogues believed that these songs were worthless as political education: children, they argued, learned not through the logic of texts, but through the immediacy of their bodies and their emotions. These educators believed music to be an especially effective site for children’s political education, as music played to children’s strongest suit: their unconscious minds and their emotions. Many pedagogues, composers, and musicologists thus adapted Weimar-era methods that used mostly non-texted music to instill what they held to be socialist values of collectivism, diligence, open-mindedness, and critical thought. I trace the fates of four of these pedagogical practices—solfège, the Orff Schulwerk, lessons in listening, and newly-composed “Brechtian” children’s operas—demonstrating how educators sought to graft the new demands of the socialist society onto inherited German musical and pedagogical traditions.

  • Memoriales Schreiben Und Phänomene Der Literarischen Erinnerung Bei Walter Benjamin, Ernst Jünger Und Friedo Lampe
    ABSTRACT Title of Document: MEMORIALES SCHREIBEN UND PHÄNOMENE DER LITERARISCHEN ERINNERUNG BEI WALTER BENJAMIN, ERNST JÜNGER UND FRIEDO LAMPE Katharina Rudolf, PhD, 2010 Directed By: Professor Peter Beicken, Department of Germanic Studies This study introduces the concept of “memoriales Schreiben” (‘memorial writing’) as a literary mode that differs from the chronological narratives of traditional autobiographies. In the Introduction, I place “memoriales Schreiben” in the context of the theories of memory, including Maurice Halbwachs’s “kollektives Gedächtnis” (‘collective memory’) and Aleida and Jan Assmann’s “kulturelles Gedächtnis” (’cultural memory’). Examining the literary modes and techniques of remembering and narrating memories and focusing on “Gedächtnisarbeit” (‘memory work’), and “Gedächtnisräume” (’spaces of memory’), I discuss works by three authors who share many generational experiences although their works left very different marks on German literature and culture: Walter Benjamin (1892-1940), Ernst Jünger (1895-1998), and Friedo Lampe (1899-1945). Chapter One analyzes Benjamin’s Berliner Chronik and Berliner Kindheit um neunzehnhundert . As the revising of these childhood memories evidences, Benjamin’s “memoriales Schreiben” transforms the autobiographical into a ‘memory work’ that reflects the intersection of personal story and general history. Chapter Two examines Jünger’s output after his initial WWI diary turned narrative, In Stahlgewittern . Works such as Afrikanische Spiele and Das Abenteuerliche Herz reveal fictionalized autobiographical material while Auf den Marmorklippen deals with cultural and contemporary memory. Chapter Three investigates Lampe’s two novels and some short stories printed despite the Nazi publishing restrictions. His ‘memorial writing’ serves as a cultural recollection of times that faded from memory during the Nazi period.
