Le roman populiste, mouvement littéraire de l'entre-deux-guerres, est souvent considéré comme un phénomène éphémère de l'histoire littéraire. Si l'on relit les romans du groupe formé autour du romancier Léon Lemonnier dans leur contexte historique, il apparaît toutefois que ce courant résume parfaitement l'imaginaire et les préceptes esthétiques de l'époque.En proposant une relecture des auteurs les plus influents du roman populiste (Eugène Dabit, Pierre Mac Orlan, Henry Poulaille.) et en étudiant leur influence sur le cinéma du réalisme poétique (qui compte des réalisateurs comme Marcel Carné ou Julien Duvivier), ce livre propose la première analyse profonde de l'esthétique populiste qui s'établit au cours des années 1929-1935.Grâce à son approche intermédiatique et à un cadre théorique conjuguant la narratologie culturelle et la sociocritique, cet ouvrage constitue une contribution essentielle à l'histoire culturelle de la France de l'entre-deux-guerres. The French interwar period sees a complete aesthetic renewal: both the novels of the 1929-born 'populist' literary movement and the talking films of the time seek to dive into the daily lives of employees and workers in order to give them more visibility. The present study explores this new populist aesthetics and the powerful working class imaginary it succeeded in building.

"Our Faculty of Theology is really and truly the only Faculty of Theology from which something great and effective in the sense of the new state can be made if the Ministry is determined to rebuild. Dean Emanuel Hirsch to Rector Friedrich Neumann on June 16, 1934On a broad source basis, Hansjörg Buss deals with the theological faculty of the State University of Göttingen in the first half of the 20th century. The significance and influence of the new theological approaches of the interwar period as well as the social and political challenges on institutional action, research, teaching, administration, and journalism are examined, with the situation of the student body also being considered for the first time. It is shown that the faculty at no time found a positive relationship to the Weimar Republic. During the National Socialist dictatorship, the 'church struggle' and ideological competitive pressure from the Nazi state narrowed its scope. Plans to create a German-Christian flagship faculty fell through, hopes and disillusionment, loyalty to the state and opposition to church policy, academic continuity and institutional struggle for existence determined its further path. The collapse of the German Reich in May 1945 ushered in a far greater caesura: The personnel reorganization was connected with a theological reorientation that left a lasting mark on the faculty. The author: Dr. Hansjörg Buss, born in 1971, studied history, political science and law (public law). The present work was made possible by a three-year research fellowship from the Göttingen Faculty of Theology.Translated with www.DeepL.com/Translator (free version)

Als eine der großen Veteranenorganisationen und rechte Sammlungsbewegung war der "Stahlhelm – Bund der Frontsoldaten" ein bedeutender politischer Akteur der Weimarer Republik. Er stand in einem äußerst ambivalenten Verhältnis zum aufstrebenden Nationalsozialismus. Einerseits konkurrierten sie um die Vorherrschaft innerhalb des nationalen Lagers, andererseits erkannten beide Seiten den Nutzen einer Kooperation. Insbesondere den einfachen Stahlhelm-Mitgliedern erschien die NS-Bewegung als attraktive Alternative, die ihre Ziele zu erreichen schien. Die Konkurrenz steigerte sich 1931/32 zur erbitterten Feindschaft. Nach der Eingliederung eines Großteils der Bundesmitglieder in die SA im Jahr 1933 sah sich der Rest-Bund immer heftigeren Repressalien ausgesetzt, bevor er 1935 aufgelöst wurde. 1951 neu gegründet, konnte er nicht an seine früheren Erfolge anknüpfen. Mehrere Spaltungen beschleunigten den Niedergang der Organisation. The Steel Helmet – Association of Frontline Soldiers was one of the major veterans’ organizations and a political movement in the Weimar Republic. As such, it had an extremely ambivalent attitude toward rising National Socialism that oscillated between rivalry and cooperation. Dissolved by the Nazi regime in 1935, it was re-founded in 1951, but was not destined for the same success that it had had in the Weimar years.

Carl Franz Bally founded a shoe factory in Switzerland in 1851. Within decades, the Bally name had achieved worldwide recognition for its high-quality footwear. The history of modern footwear can be traced through the lens of Bally's corporate evolution. This book brings together the results of research on such topics as the economic importance of fashion, Bally's fortunes in the US, the career of shoe design, the sourcing and use of materials, and the rise of strategic product display. The research focuses on the 1930s and 1940s: years of economic crisis and war, characterized by a wide diversity of designs and increasing variety in product range. Shortages also led to experiments with materials and technical innovations. Featuring numerous points of contact with adjacent fields of historical study, this publication marks a contribution to the history of fashion as the history of industrially manufactured products.

Joseph Roth was one of the most significant German-language writers of the interwar period, yet few major studies of his work have been published in English. Kati Tonkin's monograph spans Roth's novelistic career, challenging the widely held assumption that his writing can be divided into an early 'socialist' and a later 'monarchist' phase: that his late novels 'Radetzkymarsch' and 'Die Kapuzinergruft' are deeply nostalgic, presenting an idealized picture of the Habsburg Empire, a 'backward-turned utopia.' In contrast, Tonkin reads the later works not as escapist but as attempts to grasp the reasons for the failure of the empire. The historical context in which Roth operated - that of the late empire and its successor states - has been a focus of renewed interest since the end of the Cold War, as Central Europe re-emerges as a region with a distinct historical and cultural identity steeped in multinational Habsburg traditions, and Central European nations accede to the European Union. This book will therefore be of interest to students and scholars of early-20th-century Central European literature, history, and culture; of the socio-cultural environment of the late Habsburg Empire; of Jewish identity in German-speaking Central Europe; and of national identity in the multinational context. Kati Tonkin is Lecturer in German and European Studies at the University of Western Australia.
