Abstract

During the Nazi era many German writers chose, or were forced into, exile. Many others stayed and, after the end of this period, claimed to have retreated into "Inner Emigration". The nature of this kind of emigration and the underlying motives of these writers have been hotly debated to this day. Though the reception of Inner Emigration has often been confounded by disputes over the term itself, the issue is ultimately not a matter of nomenclature, but of more far-reaching issues of literary evaluation, moral discernment and the writing of history. This volume presents, for the first time, to an English-speaking readership the complexity of Inner Emigration through the analysis of problematic individual cases of writers who, under constant pressure from a watchful dictatorship to conform and to collaborate, were caught between conscience and compromise.

Abstract

Die gemäßigt agierenden völkischen Ideologen Hans Grimm, Erwin Guido Kolbenheyer und Wilhelm Stapel beeinflussten die bildungsbürgerlichen Eliten ihrer Zeit in einer Weise, die weniger distinguiert auftretenden völkischen Agitatoren verschlossen blieb. Thomas Vordermayer zeichnet die Karrieren der drei Erfolgsautoren zwischen 1919 und 1959 nach. Er zeigt, wie sie unter den politisch-ideologischen "Multiplikatoren" der deutschen Gesellschaft - vor allem den Professoren, Journalisten und Redakteuren - Deutungsmacht erlangten und wie sie sich bemühten, sich gegenseitig privat und öffentlich zu stärken und zu unterstützen. Durch die Auswertung bislang kaum genutzter, vielfach völlig unbekannter Nachlassmaterialien und unter Rückgriff auf netzwerkanalytische Instrumentarien eröffnen sich dem Leser ganz neue Perspektiven auf die ideologische Verführbarkeit des Weimarer Bildungsbürgertums sowie auf das Denken und Handeln völkischer Schriftsteller und Publizisten. Wie sie sich untereinander abstimmten und bestätigten, wie sie sich im "Dritten Reich" positionierten und wie sie ihren jähen Bedeutungsverlust nach 1945 mental verarbeiteten, ist noch nie so nuanciert und tiefgründig beschrieben worden, wie in dieser preisgekrönten Studie.

Abstract

The book Post-Socialist Translation Practices explores how Communism and Socialism, through their hegemonic pressure, found expression in translation practice from the moment of Socialist revolution to the present day. Based on extensive archival research in the archives of the Communist Party and on the interviews with translators and editors of the period the book attempts to outline the typical and defining features of the Socialist translatorial behaviour by re-reading more than 200 translations of children's literature and juvenile fiction published in the Socialist Federal Republi

Abstract

This book reads messianic expectation as the defining characteristic of German culture in the first decades of the twentieth century. It has long been accepted that the Expressionist movement in Germany was infused with a thoroughly messianic strain. Here, with unprecedented detail and focus, that strain is traced through the work of four important Expressionist playwrights: Ernst Barlach, Georg Kaiser, Ernst Toller and Franz Werfel. Moreover, these dramatists are brought into new and sustained dialogues with the theorists and philosophers of messianism who were their contemporaries: Walter Benjamin, Ernst Bloch, Martin Buber, Hermann Cohen, Gershom Scholem. In arguing, for example, that concepts like Bloch’s utopian self-encounter ( Selbstbegegnung ) and Benjamin’s messianic now-time ( Jetztzeit ) reappear as the framework for Expressionism’s staging of collective redemption in a new age, Anderson forges a previously underappreciated link in the study of Central European thought in the early twentieth century.

Abstract

Aussitôt après la prise de pouvoir par Hitler, en janvier 1933, la majeure partie des intellectuels allemands (scientifiques, philosophes, écrivains, artistes) quitte le pays. Les raisons de cet exil, essentiellement vers d'autres pays d'Europe jusqu'en 1939, sont le plus souvent non pas raciales, mais politiques. Pour certains, il y va de la vie ou de la mort. L'Allemagne n'en continue pas moins à publier des livres, à jouer des pièces, à donner des concerts, des cours à l'Université etc... Parmi les intellectuels restés au pays figurent des noms célèbres : le poète Gottfried Benn, le philosophe Martin Heidegger ou le Prix Nobel de littérature Gerhart Hauptmann. Qu'est-ce qui pousse ces intellectuels à se mettre au service des nazis : une conviction politique, le simple l'opportunisme ? Les exilés observent avec une extrême attention les faits et gestes de leurs collègues en Allemagne afin de tracer une frontière symbolique entre les « véritables intellectuels » et les « traîtres ». À relever d'un discours d'une extrême sévérité, plus tard adoucie il est vrai par une plus juste compréhension, la condamnation des « renégats » pose la question des modalités de la lutte contre un discours totalitaire : est-il possible de s'opposer à un langage perverti, sans tomber dans les travers mêmes que l'on dénonce ? La question se double d'une autre : peut-on, de l'extérieur et sur des critères uniquement politiques, juger de qui est un traître et qui est un opposant ? Le livre éclaire ici le problème de la culpabilité dans un régime totalitaire.

Abstract

"Princess Marie Adelheid of Lippe-Biesterfeld was a rebellious young writer who became a fervent Nazi. Heinrich Vogeler was a well-regarded artist who was to join the German Communist Party. Ludwig Roselius was a successful businessman who had made a fortune from his invention of decaffeinated coffee. What was it about the revolutionary climate following World War I that induced three such different personalities to collaborate in the production of a slim volume of poetry -- entitled Gott in mir -- about the indwelling of the divine within the human? Lionel Gossman's study situates this poem in the ideological context that made the collaboration possible. The study also outlines the subsequent life of the Princess who, until her death in 1993, continued to support and celebrate the ideals and heroes of National Socialism"--Publisher's description.
