Download or read book Europa Europa written by Sascha Bru and published by Walter de Gruyter. This book was released on 2009-10-29 with total page 547 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first volume of the new series “European Avant-Garde and Modernism Studies” focuses on the relation between the avant-garde, modernism and Europe. It combines interdisciplinary and intermedial research on experimental aesthetics and poetics. The essays, written by experts from more than fifteen countries, seek to bring out the complexity of the European avant-garde and modernism by relating it to Europe’s intricate history, multiculturalism and multilingualism. They aim to inquire into the divergent cultural views on Europe taking shape in avant-garde and modernist practices and to chart a composite image of the “other Europe(s)” that have emerged from the (contemporary) avant-garde and experimental modernism. How did the avant-garde and modernism in (and outside) Europe give shape to local, national and pan-European forms of identity and community? To what extent does the transnational exchange and cross-fertilisation of aesthetic tendencies illustrate the well-rehearsed claim that the avant-gardes form a typically European phenomenon? Dealing with canonised as well as lesser known exponents of modernism and the avant-garde throughout Europe, this book will appeal to all those interested in European cultural, literary and art history.

Download or read book Europe in Crisis written by Mark Hewitson and published by Berghahn Books. This book was released on 2012 with total page 361 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The period between 1917 and 1957, starting with the birth of the USSR and the American intervention in the First World War and ending with the Treaty of Rome, is of the utmost importance for contextualizing and understanding the intellectual origins of the European Community. During this time of 'crisis,' many contemporaries, especially intellectuals, felt they faced a momentous decision which could bring about a radically different future. The understanding of what Europe was and what it should be was questioned in a profound way, forcing Europeans to react. The idea of a specifically European unity finally became, at least for some, a feasible project, not only to avoid another war but to avoid the destruction of the idea of European unity. This volume reassesses the relationship between ideas of Europe and the European project and reconsiders the impact of long and short-term political transformations on assumptions about the continent's scope, nature, role and significance.

Download or read book Neue Wege in ein neues Europa written by Ralf Roth and published by Campus Verlag. This book was released on 2009-04-14 with total page 556 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seit dem Zusammenbruch der Sowjetunion fügt sich Europa neu zusammen. Europa ist aber nicht nur ein Raum von Werten und Ideen, sondern auch ein Verkehrsraum. Das geteilte Europa war bestimmt von zerschnittenen Verkehrswegen, mit Endstationen an den Grenzen zwischen West und Ost. 1989 begann man, gerissene Linien wieder in Betrieb zu nehmen. Ohne einen einheitlichen und modernisierten Verkehrsraum kann es ein neues und vereintes Europa nicht geben. Entfernung und Nähe, Versorgung und Verteilung von Gütern, Ideen und Menschen sind ohne das Medium des Verkehrs nicht denkbar. Die 25 Autorinnen und Autoren greifen zentrale Aspekte des komplexen Themas Verkehr und dessen Bedeutung für eine moderne Geschichtsschreibung auf und zeigen, wie Europa im 20. Jahrhundert durch Verkehr und Mobilität gestaltet wurde.

Download or read book Anti liberal Europe written by Dieter Gosewinkel and published by Berghahn Books. This book was released on 2015 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The history of modern Europe is often presented with the hindsight of present-day European integration, which was a genuinely liberal project based on political and economic freedom. Many other visions for Europe developed in the 20th century, however, were based on an idea of community rooted in pre-modern religious ideas, cultural or ethnic homogeneity, or even in coercion and violence. They frequently rejected the idea of modernity or reinterpreted it in an antiliberal manner. Anti-liberal Europe examines these visions, including those of anti-modernist Catholics, conservatives, extreme rightists as well as communists, arguing that antiliberal concepts in 20th-century Europe were not the counterpart to, but instead part of the process of European integration.

Download or read book DIE EUROPA TRILOGIE THE EUROPE TRILOGY written by Milo Rau and published by Verbrecher Verlag. This book was released on 2016-09-09 with total page 385 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Milo Raus "Europa Trilogie", die seit der Premiere des ersten Teils "The Civil Wars" im Jahr 2014 durch Europa tourt, nimmt in seinem vielgestaltigen, oft von Skandalen begleiteten Werk eine Ausnahmestellung ein: In radikaler Schlichtheit erzählen 13 Schauspielerinnen und Schauspieler – darunter Manfred Zapatka, Johan Leysen oder Maia Morgenstern – aus 11 Ländern Europas Geschichten aus ihrem Leben und ihrer Arbeit. Über drei Teile und sechs Stunden purem Erzählen entsteht so eine "politische Psychoanalyse" (La Libération) eines vielfach zerrissenen Kontinents, aber auch eine tiefsinnige Meditation über das Theater selbst. Während "The Civil Wars" die ideologische Unbehaustheit in Westeuropa vom Aufbruch nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg bis zum postmodernen Dschihadismus zum Thema macht und "The Dark Ages" auf die Kriege und Vertreibungen in Ex-Jugoslawien, Russland und Deutschland fokussiert, erzählen in "Empire" Schauspieler aus Griechenland, Syrien und Rumänien von künstlerischer und wahrer Tragik, von Folter, Flucht, Trauer, Tod und künstlerischer Wiedergeburt. Neben den Stücktexten der vielfach ausgezeichneten "Europa Trilogie" wird der Band komplettiert durch Gespräche und Essays, die die Hintergründe der Arbeit an diesem vielstimmigen Porträt Europas aufzeigen, in dem das "Allgemeinmenschliche ins Überzeitliche" ragt (Spiegel Online). Touring through Europe since the 2014 premiere of its first part "The Civil Wars", Milo Rau's "Europe Trilogy" takes up an exceptional position within its polymorphic and often scandal-embraced work: with radical simplicity, 13 actors and actresses from 11 different European countries narrate stories from their own lives and works – among which Manfred Zapatka, Johan Leysen and Maia Morgenstern. Throughout three parts and six hours of pure narrative thus emerges the "political psychoanalysis" (La Libération) of a frequently torn continent, but also a deep meditation about theatre itself.

Download or read book Behemoth written by Franz Leopold Neumann and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2009 with total page 680 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Neumann was one of the only early Frankfurt School thinkers to examine seriously the problem of political institutions. After the rise of the Nazis to power, his emphasis shifted to an analysis of economic power, and then after the war to political psychology. His insights into the structure of the Nazi state have to some extent been eclipsed by their own success: subsequent research on the Nazi period has tended to absorb the lessons of Neumann's study while often losing sight of their subtlety and originality. He suggested that the Nazi organization of society involved the collapse of traditional ideas of the state, of ideology, of law, and even of any underlying nationality. Behemoth is so important that it must be "studied, not simply read," Raul Hilbert wrote." "Peter Hayes's Introduction offers biographical background on Neumann and sets his book in the context of studies of Nazism, pointing out its shortcomings as well as its accomplishments." --Book Jacket.

Download or read book The Heroic Earth written by David Thomas Murphy and published by Kent State University Press. This book was released on 1997 with total page 372 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In The Heroic Earth, David T. Murphy argues that geopolitical ideas were most dynamic and significant in Germany not during the Nazi era (1933-45) but in the democratic culture of the Weimar republic (1919-33). By helping to condition the German population to geopolitical ideas, which emphasized revision of the Versailles settlement and enlarging Germany's living space, geopolitics helped contribute to Nazi imperialism. From the defeat of Germany in 1918 until the rise of National Socialism i9n 1933, theories of geographical determinism enjoyed a broad currency in many fields of German public life. The ancient notion that environmental factors--climate, topography, resource distribution--shape society in significant ways was now applied in a radically determinist fashion to help Germans understand why they had lost the war and what they had to do to regain their place among the Great Powers. Under the rubric of Geopolitik, politicians, teachers, writers and others argued that they key to Germany's past, and the hope for its future, lay in understanding geography's determining impact upon races, cultures, states, and warfare. Theories of geographical determinism shaped German thinking about politics, race, science, education, aesthetics, and many other subjects on the eve of the Nazi era. Challenging traditional historiography, Murphy argues that geopolitics faded in importance after Adolf Hitler came to power.
