Download or read book The German Epic in the Cold War written by Matthew D. Miller and published by Northwestern University Press. This book was released on 2018-07-15 with total page 326 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Matthew Miller’s The German Epic in the Cold War explores the literary evolution of the modern epic in postwar German literature. Examining works by Peter Weiss, Uwe Johnson, and Alexander Kluge, it illustrates imaginative artistic responses in German fiction to the physical and ideological division of post–World War II Germany. Miller analyzes three ambitious German-language epics from the second half of the twentieth century: Weiss’s Die Ästhetik des Widerstands (The Aesthetics of Resistance), Johnson’s Jahrestage (Anniversaries), and Kluge’s Chronik der Gefühle (Chronicle of Feelings). In them, he traces the epic’s unlikely reemergence after the catastrophes of World War II and the Shoah and its continuity across the historical watershed of 1989–91, defined by German unification and the dissolution of the Soviet Union. Building on Franco Moretti’s codification of the literary form of the modern epic, Miller demonstrates the epic’s ability to understand the past; to come to terms with ethical, social, and political challenges in the second half of the twentieth century in German-speaking Europe and beyond; and to debate and envision possible futures.

Download or read book View America as an axis of the world through movie stories written by Nomadsirius and published by 펜립. This book was released on 2023-11-24 with total page 313 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Prologue. Through the historical narrative presented in the film, we gain insights into America, a pivotal force in the world. The stories of 46 U.S. presidents and 10 movies allow us to delve into the intense conflict between the silver and gold standards throughout American history. The Roman Empire serves as another pivotal force in the world, with its core bases shifting from Rome to Constantinople (Istanbul) in the Eastern Roman Empire, Frankfurt and Vienna in the Holy Roman Empire, London in England, and Washington in the United States since 751 B.C. A fierce battle for money, power, and honor ensues over the inheritance of the Roman legal system, involving key players like the Medici family (1382-1743), the Rothschild family, and the U.S. Federal Reserve. The United States, being the first country in the world to adopt a presidential system, faces skepticism from European politicians who believe this political experiment will fail within a few years. Despite expectations that a strong president may seek extended terms resembling royal politics, the United States establishes itself as a model country for democracy, with the presidential system providing the power to lead the world. From the first president, George Washington, onwards, a commitment to the constitutional promise of a limited term of office is strictly adhered to, and the presidential system takes root through the peaceful transfer of power via elections. The primary election system for various political offices prevents the tyranny of bribery and abuse of party power, ensuring a more democratic process. In contrast to the Eastern style of leadership characterized by boss-type interpersonal relationships, the U.S. presidential system relies on communication with voters to verify one\'s insight and judgment. The U.S. Federal Reserve, described as a global central bank created by Jews, is positioned as a temple of modern capitalism on the National Mall in Washington, D.C. It plays a crucial role in determining the economic conditions of the contemporary world, with key figures like Jerome Hayden Powell leading the institution.
