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 The German Autobahn 1920 1945 written by Richard Vahrenkamp and published by BoD – Books on Demand. This book was released on 2010 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The expressway network in Europe developed into an essential infrastructure of the 20th and the beginning of the 21st century and provided means of commuting, as well as accommodated leisure travel and the cargo supply for the mass consumption society. This book discusses, how expressways were developed in Europe in the 1920s and 1930s. It focuses on the various forerunner projects and the role of the Hafraba association, which has been significant in the Hessian region, with its actors in Kassel, Frankfurt and Darmstadt. It is shown, how the Autobahn concept developed, from the Italian expressways to the Bonn-Cologne Autobahn and to the design of the Nazi Autobahn project. The Bonn-Cologne Autobahn was the first Autobahn in Germany, opened in 1932 by Konrad Adenauer, later Chancellor of West-Germany. This Autobahn section is here explored for the first time. As part of the Nazi Mega Project various regional legs are explored and for the first time drawn to scholary attention: The leg Frankfurt-Kassel-Göttingen, the leg Frankfurt-Darmstadt-Heidelberg-Karlsruhe and the leg Munich-Salzburg. The goals of the Nazi mega project are evaluated. Further the book shows, how traffic on the Autobahn developed and which experiences were made by driving on the Autobahn. The book discusses various approaches towards a theory on infrastructure.

Download or read book Linking Networks The Formation of Common Standards and Visions for Infrastructure Development written by Hans-Liudger Dienel and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-05-06 with total page 309 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Presenting recent research on the international integration of infrastructures in Europe, this book combines general and methodological chapters and examples from different a variety of sectors such as transport, electricity and communication networks. Particular focus is on the contrast between the 'Europe of nation states' of the nineteenth century (up to 1914) and the emerging 'integrated Europe' after World War II. Additional contributions provide perspectives from beyond Europe. The wide range of topics gives a good overview of the different challenges posed and the strategies employed in each sector to establish internationally compatible networks, procedures and standards. This work strengthens comparative research as a complement to the detailed analysis of singular cases that often characterises previous works in this field. Methodologically, it therefore contributes to the progress of tools and strategies for comparative historical research. Part of the emerging research area dealing with the mechanisms of international collaboration, this book brings together recent research from European integration history, policy studies, political economy and cultural studies. Considering the growing intensity of international collaboration and exchange in many parts of social and economic life, it is also of topical interest.

Download or read book Die Familie im neuen Europa written by Gerhard Höver and published by LIT Verlag Münster. This book was released on 2008 with total page 358 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Familienpolitik im neuen Europa bedarf einer Leitidee, welche einerseits die vielfältigen kulturellen und sozialgeschichtlichen Traditionen achtet, andererseits aber auch eine qualifizierte Verständigung ermöglicht, die der grundlegenden Bedeutung der Familie als "primärer Schule der Humanität" gerecht wird. Eine solche Idee kann nicht extern entwickelt und vorgeschrieben werden, sondern indem man der Art und Weise, wie Familie lebt und ihr Beziehungsgeflecht entwickelt, Aufmerksamkeit schenkt. Das vorliegende Buch versucht diesen Weg unter ökumenischen und interdisziplinären Perspektiven zu beschreiten und die der Familie eigene Subjektivität als deren genuine Freiheit zu erfassen.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Quo vadis Europa? And where are the independent performing arts heading? Driven by values such as tolerance and openness, what power do the independent performing arts possess in a climate dominated by Euroscepticism?

These were the questions focussed on at the IETM's Plenary Meeting Munich (International Network for Contemporary Performing Arts) which is documented in this bi-lingual book. Central to the reflexions around the role of the performing arts in Europe were the topics "Post-colonialism", "Diversity" and "Visions for the Future".

Welche Tragkraft haben in einem von Euroskepsis geprägten Klima die unabhängigen darstellenden Künste, deren Arbeitsbegriff sich auf Werte wie Toleranz und Offenheit stützt?

Diese Fragen standen im Mittelpunkt des Treffens des International Network for Contemporary Performing Arts (IETM) in München, das in diesem zweisprachigen Buch dokumentiert wird. Im Zentrum der Reflexionen rund um die Rolle der darstellenden Kunst in Europa stehen Postkolonialismus, Diversität sowie Visionen für die Zukunft.

This book was released on 2020-04-21 with total page 487 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Challenges of Modernity offers a broad account of the social and economic history of Central and Eastern Europe in the twentieth century and asks critical questions about the structure and experience of modernity in different contexts and periods. This volume focuses on central questions such as: How did the various aspects of modernity manifest themselves in the region, and what were their limits? How was the multifaceted transition from a mainly agrarian to an industrial and post-industrial society experienced and perceived by historical subjects? Did Central and Eastern Europe in fact approximate its dream of modernity in the twentieth century despite all the reversals, detours and third-way visions? Structured chronologically and taking a comparative approach, a range of international contributors combine a focus on the overarching problems of the region with a discussion of individual countries and societies, offering the reader a comprehensive, nuanced survey of the social and economic history of this complex region in the recent past. The first in a four-volume set on Central and Eastern Europe in the twentieth century, it is the go-to resource for those interested in the ‘challenges of modernity‘ faced by this dynamic region.

Download or read book Iron Landscapes written by Felix Jeschke and published by Berghahn Books. This book was released on 2021-08-13 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Throughout the 1920s and 1930s, the newly formed country of Czechoslovakia built an ambitious national rail network out of what remained of the obsolete Habsburg system. While conceived as a means of knitting together a young and ethnically diverse nation-state, these railways were by their very nature a transnational phenomenon, and as such they simultaneously articulated and embodied a distinctive Czechoslovak cosmopolitanism. Drawing on evidence ranging from government documents to newsreels to train timetables, Iron Landscapes gives a nuanced account of how planners and authorities balanced these two imperatives, bringing the cultural history of infrastructure into dialogue with the spatial history of Central Europe.
Download or read book J dische Kultur en im Neuen Europa written by Marina Dmitrieva and published by Otto Harrassowitz Verlag. This book was released on 2004 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Der aus einer internationalen Tagung des Forschungsprojektes "Visuelle und historische Kulturen Ostmitteleuropas seit 1918" am Geisteswissenschaftlichen Zentrum Geschichte und Kultur Ostmitteleuropas (Leipzig) hervorgegangene Band widmet sich in einer interdisziplinarkulturwissenschaftlichen Perspektive den unterschiedlichen Facetten judischer Kultur(en) im ostlichen Europa der Zwischenkriegszeit. Am Beispiel Wilnas wird untersucht, welche Modelle des "Jude-Seins" im Spannungsfeld widerstreitender nationaler Identitatskonstruktionen der verschiedenen stadtischen Bevolkerungsgruppen entworfen und wie sie vermittelt wurden. Um einer ethnozentrischen Sichtweise zu entgehen und einen integrativen Zugang zum Thema zu ermoglichen, werden neben den judischen Entwurfen auch diejenigen von Litauern und Polen in den Blick genommen. Das Spektrum der untersuchten Bereiche erstreckt sich von der Fotografie und der bildenden Kunst uber die Literatur und Publizistik bis hin zu wissenschaftlichen Diskursen in Linguistik und Geschichtsschreibung.
Download or read book Can America Remain Committed written by David G. Haglund and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-04-02 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The twelve months that spanned the period between the early springtimes of 1991 and 1992 may well turn out to constitute the most important year for American foreign and security policy in half a century. Encasing the dawning of a new and different security era, like macabre parentheses, were two columns of black smoke-that of 1991 over the newly liberated Kuwait, and that of 1992 over the embattled district of South-Central Los Angeles. Within these acrid temporal brackets unfolded a set of developments of utmost significance for American foreign and security policy and for the very meaning of the country's external commitments.
