Full textAbstract:
This dissertation situates late nineteenth-century Berlin's reception of naturalist drama in contemporary discourse about European modernism, which to date has disregarded the significant impact of this cultural environment. Examining the Berlin avant-garde's demand for "truth" and "authenticity," this study highlights its legacy of promoting more honest and dynamic forms of human interaction. Sketching the historical background, Chapter 1 demonstrates how the reception of Henrik Ibsen in Berlin fuelled creative strategies for a more honest approach to theatre. From literary matinees to more egalitarian ways of directing theatre, this moment in cultural history significantly shaped people's understanding of theatre as a tool for social criticism and as a means of creating a sense of intimacy. Two important figures are highlighted here: literary critic and theatre director Otto Brahm, central to the promotion of naturalism, and his more prominent protégé Max Reinhardt, who developed Brahm's legacy. Situating these developments in a theoretical framework, Chapter 2 draws on the concept of "the everyday" as set out by Toril Moi, Stanley Cavell, and Ludwig Wittgenstein to link the role of the ordinary on stage to the avant-garde's search for authenticity and truthfulness. Through this framework, Ibsen's social dramas from A Doll's House to Hedda Gabler (Chapter 3) can be seen perfectly to exemplify this shift in perspective from the 1880s through the 1890s, revealing the complexity of truthfulness in communications. Tracing these themes in other dramatic works, innovative readings of Arthur Schnitzler's Liebelei (Chapter 4) and Rainer Maria Rilke's Das tägliche Leben (Chapter 5) shed new light on these two fin-de-siècle authors. By highlighting these authors' previously unrecognised connections with Berlin's avant-garde theatre scene and their dramatic exploration of interpersonal connection, this study shows both how theatre functioned as a tool to examine human relationships and to what extent twentieth-century literature was grounded in this way of thinking.

Full textAbstract:
On 1 October 1879 the German Imperial Court, the Reichsgericht, was formally opened in a ceremony in Leipzig. Decades of division among the German states, particularly in the years between the end of the Holy Roman Empire in 1806 and the creation of the German Reich in 1871, led to constant demands for national unification on political, economic, social and legal levels. Throughout those years proposals for Rechtseinheit, or legal unity, called for numerous substantive reforms as well as procedural or institutional reforms. Such proposals ultimately led to several important legal reforms, including the adoption of the Imperial Justice Laws of 1877.<br>This dissertation argues that the successful establishment of the Reichsgericht, as an integral component of the larger movement towards German legal unity, provides an important example of contemporary struggles between centralization and particularism and between liberal political ideals and political realities in the new German Reich. Between 1806 and 1879 several contemporaries recommended the creation of a national supreme court for the German states. The failure of the pre-1867 court proposals contrasted sharply with the successful proposals of the 1867 to 1879 period. Nevertheless, the negotiations and debates which took place between the various German states, between the federal government and the states, and in the legislative organs of the German state itself, were intense and contentious. The creation of the Reichsgericht reflected several important issues, including the comparative abilities of the various states, the federal bureaucracy and the federal legislature to influence the form and substance of national judicial legislation.<br>The documentary evidence for this dissertation has been gathered from several archival depositories, including relevant holdings in the Bundesarchiv sections in Potsdam and Dahlwitz-Hoppegarten and the Prussian state archives in Berlin-Dahlem, and from published government and contemporary sources. In addition, unpublished and published secondary sources have been utilized.

Full textAbstract:
The thesis sets out to explain the presence of women writers in the book market of the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. In order to do so, it examines the position of women writers in Germany - in the context both of their discursive and of their social reality. The thesis investigates the ideological and material background for women's writing, by exploring the areas of gender ideology, contemporary concepts of authorship, women's reading, and the literary market. The final chapter examines women's freedom of expression in different public circumstances. The thesis argues that women's position in the business of culture in general and literature in particular is not as unpromising as has often been claimed. By investigating less well-known texts on gender roles, such as eighteenth-century journal articles, it is possible to show that the rhetoric of prohibitions, for example regarding women's reading and writing, was by no means uniform, but fragmentary and frequently contradictory. Women's own responses to the conditions under which they were working are highlighted throughout the thesis, and examined on the basis of a range of texts, including unpublished correspondence. The examination of non-literary factors, such as the expansion of the literary market and the emergence of a newly diverse reading public, enables the identification of causes other than gender as determining women's position as writers during this period. In the course of this study, numerous neglected texts are considered, which broaden our understanding of this period of literature. The creative and successful use which women writers made of the opportunities they were afforded is emphasised throughout, thereby making an important contribution to the study of women writers.

Full textAbstract:
The maintenance of German colonial rule in East Africa depended on a strong military presence. The Kaiserliche Schutztruppe fur Deutsch Ostafrika was established to meet this need, but financial and political constraints dictated that this force be manned by an African rank and file. Initially, most of the African recruits came from outside of the colony, but, as time passed, the Germans began recruiting from a few specific ethnic groups in the colony.<br>The relationship between the African soldiers and their German employers yielded military successes for the new colonial government and, by extension, an enhanced status for the soldiers themselves. Over time, the Africans within the Schutztruppe distanced themselves from other Africans in the colony and began to develop separate communities at the government stations, which in turn fostered the growth of an askari group identity. The interests of these communities became inextricably linked to the German presence in the region. The development of this relationship helps to explain the askaris' support of the German campaign against the British during the First World War.

Full textAbstract:
This study discusses Felix Mendelssohn-Bartholdy's appointment to the Prussian Court of King Friedrich Wilhelm IV, Mendelssohn's relationship with the Court (both personal and professional) and the numerous difficulties encountered with this appointment. In addition, Mendelssohn's musical responsibilities and personal feelings toward the cities of Leipzig and Berlin, Berlin's choral traditions (including a brief history of the Berlin Domchor) will also be discussed. Mendelssohn's op. 78, op. 79 and Die deutsche Liturgie written for the Berlin Domchor reflect the sometimes competing demands of the traditional liturgical genres (e.g. Masses, psalms, motets), which are more "objective" in nature and the far more "subjective" elements inherent in the Romantic "ideal" of expression. This study deals exclusively with the unaccompanied choral compositions written for the Berlin Domchor with particular emphasis given to op. 78 - Drei Psalmen, and op. 79 - Sechs Spruche.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis came into being as the result of a question innocently posed to me three years ago: Why do some towns in the Eastern Cape have German names? This thesis is not so much an answer to that question (which is answered in the following paragraphs) as an attempt to answer the questions that followed: Were the Germans really as benevolent and hard-working as much of the most readily available literature implies? Why did the military settlers leave and the peasant farmer settlers remain? What was the nature of relationships between the German settlers and other groups in the area? How did the German settlers see themselves? The existing literature provides the historic details, more or less, but not the context and explanations I sought. As such, I set out to find them and document them myself, addressing three main questions: 1. What was the (changing) nature of the German settlers' day-to-day lives between 1857 and 1919? 2. How was a German identity maintained/constructed within the German communities of the Eastern Cape between 1857 and 1919? 3. How did the Germans interact with other groups in the area? In answering these questions, I have also provided the necessary background as to why these settlers chose to come to South Africa, and why some of them left. I have limited this study to the period between 1857 and 1919 so as to include the First World War and its immediate aftermath, a time when enmity between Great Britain and Germany would have made life difficult for German descendants in the Union of South Africa.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis aims to show, how periodization and race converged vigorously during the nineteenth century. The research focuses mainly on the question of how nineteenth century historians viewed the transformation from Antiquity to the Middle Ages. For many scholars, the year 476 A.D. became associated with the fall of Rome. During the nineteenth century, historians elaborated two main arguments: 1) 'The Roman' emphasized the decline that had occurred after the fall of Rome. 2) 'The Teutonic' signified the rejuvenation which the German tribes had brought about in the decaying Empire. Although I relate to the 'Roman' argument, the heart of the discussion is devoted to the 'Teutonic' school that was supported not only by German but also by British or more accurately English historians. The first part of the dissertation is devoted to the theme of 'Community and Race'. In this part, I engage with the thematic question of how the historians of the second half of the nineteenth century constructed past and present communities through the concept of race. A close community or Gemeinschaft of English and German historians emerged during the middle of the nineteenth century. Based on the concept of Teutonic kinship, this community emphasized the notions of race and historical time, which actually invented a new sense of belonging. The English and the Germans were one, an almost indivisible community founded on a purported notion of race. Despite several national or particularistic inclinations, these nations had a common Teutonic past, which always bonded them together. Therefore, the historians 'imagined' a new ultimate transnational (racial) community of belonging. In the second part I study the theme of 'Time'. The linkage between the two parts is embedded in the idea of the Community as a 'Time Maker'. Namely, in what manner does the construction of a community by the historians defines the division of time. The chapter that links the two themes of 'Community' and 'Time' examines the writings of scholars in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries who underlined the Germanic invasions of the 4th and 5th centuries A.D. as the events that symbolized the fall of Rome and the end of Antiquity. This governing observation is connected directly with the racial Teutonic feelings that were prevalent among English and German historians. The discussion of it set the framework for the following chapters, which delve into the distinct periodization's of Edward Augustus Freeman (1823-92) and John Bagnell Bury (1861-1927). These historians, who were in constant and close contact until the death of Freeman in 1892, reveal similarities as well as major differences in their historical writings. The main reason why they were chosen derives from the new periodization which they had adopted. Both of them devised a method that signified a departure from the accepted and almost 'sacred' division between Antiquity and the Middle Ages.

Full textAbstract:
This study offers an overdue exploration of the early years of the deaconess community in Neuendettelsau from a gender perspective. Drawing on rich archival material, it focuses on the process of the formation of a distinctive collective identity. Central to this study is the assumption, drawn from the social sciences, that collective identity is a social construction which requires the participation of the whole group through identification and which is consolidated by developing specific rituals, symbols, codes and normative texts, which facilitate integration, and by constructing external boundaries, which separate from the world and wider church. The centrifugal forces which came into play when deaconesses were sent out in isolation were counterbalanced by a communal life which offered forms of participation and identification for the individual members and which consolidated their sense of belonging. The first chapter introduces the methodology. Chapter Two explores the social, cultural and theological context of the foundation of the Deaconess Institute, and offers a brief outline of the institution's historical development. The third chapter offers an in-depth analysis of the initiation ceremony as a rite which both admitted into the community and conferred an ecclesiastical office. Chapter Four analyses formative and normative texts that shed light on the community's norms, values, and expectations. In the fifth chapter, non-literary means of consolidating and affirming the deaconesses' collective identity are explored. This study concludes that the process of the emergence of a specific deaconess culture was pervaded by bourgeois norms, values, patterns of behaviour and notions about gender roles which measured out the women's radius of action and were at times difficult to reconcile with the deaconess profession.

Full textAbstract:
Martin Luther supported the development of the early German educational system on the basis of both religious and social ideals. His impact endured in the emphasis on obedience and duty to the state evident in the north German educational system throughout the early modern period and the nineteenth century. Luther taught that the state was a gift from God and that service to the state was a personal vocation. This thesis explores the extent to which a select group of nineteenth century German philosophers and historians reflect Luther's teachings. Chapters II and III provide historiography on this topic, survey Luther's view of the state and education, and demonstrate the adherence of nineteenth century German intellectuals to these goals. Chapters IV through VII examine the works respectively of Johann Gottfried Herder, Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel, Leopold von Ranke, and Wilhelm Dilthey, with focus on the interest each had in the reformer's work for its religious, and social content. The common themes found in these authors' works were: the analysis of the membership of the individual in the group, the stress on the uniqueness of individual persons and cultures, the belief that familial authority, as established in the Fourth Commandment, provided the basis for state authority, the view that the state was a necessary and benevolent institution, and, finally, the rejection of revolution as a means of instigating social change. This work explains the relationship between Luther's view of the state and its interpretation by later German scholars, providing specific examples of the way in which Herder, Hegel, Ranke, and Dilthey incorporated in their writings the reformer's theory of the state. It also argues for the continued importance of Luther to later German intellectuals in the area of social and political theory.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis reassess the so-called 'Historical School of Economics' of Gustav Schmoller and his colleagues Lujo Brentano, Adolf Held and Georg Friedrich Knapp, analysing the close relationship between the development of historical economics and the rise of social reform in Germany. It reveals that there is little evidence for a cohesive 'Historical School' and suggests that it was not primarily an outgrowth of romantic and historicist currents of thought as is commonly believed. Schmoller and his colleagues were a pragmatic, empirically-inclined group of statistically-trained economists who drew inspiration from the advances made in the natural sciences. Having directly observed the effects of rapid urbanisation, industrialisation, and the rise of labour movements and socialism in Prussia and abroad, they became dissatisfied with classical economic doctrines and laissez-faire, subjecting these to empirical tests and criticism. Drawing inspiration from British reforms and developments throughout Europe, they devised alternative hypotheses and made innovative policy recommendations. They were also important professionalisers of economics, modifying the curriculum, organising professional bodies, and creating new monographs and journals, the latter substantially aided by the interest and generosity of a leading publisher. Using empirical studies, statistics and history as analytical and critical tools, they sought practical solutions to economic and social problems by disseminating information to both the public and government officials through publications, conferences and petitions. They became leading advocates of trade union rights, factory inspection, worker protection laws, education reforms, worker insurance, agricultural reforms, and the democratisation of industrial relations. Their influence on economic and social policy, while indirect, was considerable, especially through government officials. However, the close association of historical economics with reform and social policy also made them a conspicuous target of criticism within academia and politics. Despite this, by the early 1890s the research methods and social legislation they propounded were gaining wider currency not only in Germany but also in Austria.

Full textAbstract:
Although in the German Empire the cities were major strongholds of political liberalism, this fact has until very recently attracted little attention from scholars preoccupied with the history of 'high politics' leading up to the two World Wars. This thesis is one of the first analyses of German liberalism at city level, and proceeds from the assumption that in a country with such a regionally and locally diverse political culture as Germany, this type of 'history from below' is a necessary precondition for any satisfactory understanding of the nature of German liberalism in general. Following the introduction, chapter two demonstrates that in Frankfurt, local government became politicised as early as the 1870s. Indeed, chapter three shows how the early experience of Frankfurt liberals in municipal politics was crucial as they defended themselves against emerging political groups during the following decades, particularly the Mittelstand and the SPD. The fourth chapter analyses the development of liberal attitudes towards municipal finance as a background to chapter five which uses the example of Frankfurt to demonstrate how crucial the issue of municipal finance was to the viability of local liberalism not just in theory, but also in practice. Chapter six considers the importance of education to local liberalism as it touched on a number of themes which were central to urban liberals' understanding of themselves, in particular the issues of local self-government and religion. The final chapter looks at the crucial area of social policy, to see to what extent local liberals were merely reactive, and to what extent they were innovative as they faced the new problems of urbanisation and industrialisation. The sophistication of liberal politics in local government, the only level of government where liberals were in the position of carrying out their policies, underlines the gravity of the problem which the lack of parliamentary government posed for liberals at the state and national level. Furthermore, the thesis points to a central dilemma, because, to be successful in Frankfurt and other regions, liberals had to respond to the particular culture at the local level, a requirement that was in direct contrast to the necessity of finding a coherent political consensus at the level of national and state politics. Even though at the local level the liberal capacity of responding to the social and political challenges of their rapidly changing environment has been proved beyond doubt, their policies, their rhetoric and their organisational lead could have only a very limited effect on German liberalism in general. The urban liberals' ideal of creating a more liberal society from 'the bottom up', through the cities, was undermined by the fact that the political future of German liberalism at the state and national level came to rest increasingly on its electoral appeal in the countryside, just at a time when urban liberal self-consciousness reached its peak.

Full textAbstract:
Cette thèse s’intéresse aux Histoires de l’Église françaises et allemandes du XIXe siècle (1801-1914) destinées aux futurs prêtres ou pasteurs amenés à fréquenter les lieux de formation théologique. Le choix d’un double prisme de comparaison – bi-confessionnel (catholique et protestant) et binational (français et allemand) permet de s’interroger sur la dimension identitaire de l’historiographie ecclésiastique et de déterminer quelle appropriation ou instrumentalisation est faite de l’histoire de l’Église. La différence principale entre auteurs catholiques allemands et français tient à leur formation – les premiers évoluant surtout dans les facultés de théologie étatiques, les deuxièmes étant formés dans les grands séminaires – qui influe sur la conception des manuels. L’évocation d’ennemis de l’Église, davantage rhétorique dans la première moitié du siècle, se concrétise dans la deuxième moitié du siècle sous l’influence des conflits entre l’État et l’Église (lois scolaires en France, Kulturkampf en Allemagne). Dans l’étude thématique et le traitement de sujets sensibles, au-delà de la dimension érudite de certaines controverses, apparaissent des enjeux ecclésiastiques ou politiques de l’histoire de l’Église (notamment dans le contexte du Concile de Vatican I). Il ressort de l’étude de plusieurs épisodes de l’Église ancienne qu’auteurs catholiques et protestants n’achoppent pas sur les mêmes épisodes, car la signification ou le poids de l’Antiquité tardive n’est pas le même selon les confessions. La justification et l’explication de la conduite des évêques de Rome, comme Libère et Honorius par exemple, importent à la plupart des auteurs catholiques, nombreux à fustiger l’instrumentalisation du sujet par les adversaires de l’Église contrairement à leurs homologues protestants. Le contrôle du discours historique produit par le clergé catholique doit être vu comme une interaction de plusieurs dynamiques : contrôle des autorités ecclésiastiques en amont et en aval de la publication (exemplarité de quelques cas de livres censurés par la Congrégation de l’Index), implication des maisons d’éditions qui reproduisent les traces du contrôle ecclésiastique comme des garants d’orthodoxie, réception par la presse<br>This study is based on French and German church histories of the 19th century (1801-1914) used by future priests or pastors in context of their theological education. By choosing a double prism for comparison - bi-confessional (Catholic and Protestant) and bi-national (French and German), the study focuses on the identity dimension and instrumentalization of ecclesiastical historiography and church history. The main difference between German and French Catholic authors is due to their educational training. While most German authors study in state faculties of theology, their French counterparts mostly study in seminaries and this difference influences the conception of the textbooks. During the first half of the century authors invoke so-called 'enemies of the church' mostly in a rhetorical way but during the second half of the century these invocations take on a more concrete character in context of state-church conflicts such as the school laws in France or the Kulturkampf in Germany. The content analysis did not only reveal controversies among scholars. In context of the First Vatican Council for example some controversies of history have a political or religious dimension as well.It emerges from the study of the chapters dedicated to the history of the ancient church that Catholic and Protestant authors are not always concerned about the same topics. Depending on the confession, the significance and the force of what we now call Late Antiquity is not the same.While this is not a priority for Protestant authors, most of their Catholic counterparts feel the need to justify and/or explain the actions of bishops of Rome such as Liberius or Honorius for example, or to insist on the instrumentalization of the topic by enemies of the church. The control of historical discourse produced by Catholic clergymen is to be understood as an interaction of several dynamics: control by the church authorities before and after a book is published (with exemplary censorship of certain books by the Congregation of the Index), publishing houses using ecclesiastical control to prove the orthodoxy of their books and reception by the press

Full textAbstract:
This study deals with trombone soloists and music of nineteenth-century Germany. Much of the discussion is based on the influence of two trombone virtuosos, Carl Traugott Queisser (1800-1846) and Friedrich August Belcke (1795- 1874) .
Finally, a style and form analysis is given of several representative trombone compositions of the period. These include Ferdinand David's Concertino. Op. 4, Friedebald Grafe's Concerto. and Josef Serafin Alschausky's Concerto No. I.

Previous issue date: 2003<br>Resumo: Africano livre¿, ¿liberto africano¿, ¿negro de prêmio¿ ou ¿emancipado¿. Estas expressões designavam, no século XIX, o estatuto jurídico de todos os africanos escravizados ilegalmente após a proibição do tráfico atlântico de escravos que tivessem sido resgatados por autoridades em navios negreiros. Uma vez capturados por um governo como o Imperial brasileiro, eles deveriam ser postos ao trabalho na condição de ¿aprendizes¿. A obrigação do Estado Imperial, assumida em acordos com a Coroa inglesa, era manter estes africanos em tutela por 14 anos e então emancipá-los. A regra não foi cumprida, e os africanos livres na maioria vezes serviram a este Estado ou arrematante particular por toda a vida ou por um período muito maior do que aquele determinado. Eram portadores de uma condição sócio-jurídica ambígua: eram africanos livres numa sociedade em que africanos eram, em sua maior parte, escravos; além disso sua liberdade vigorava sob uma tutela cercada por indefinições. O alto grau de particularidade de sua condição forçou o surgimento de um leque de fatos e circunstâncias específicos, principalmente da parte do Estado, para dar conta de administrá-los, conduzi-los e controlá-los. A documentação deixada no rastro destas práticas específicas revela certas brechas de significado no complexo mundo do trabalho do século XIX. Por isso, consideramos os africanos livres como uma importante chave de acesso para um entendimento mais detalhado das transformações das relações de trabalho naquela época. Este estudo focaliza a experiência dos africanos livres na fábrica de pólvora do Império entre os anos de 1830 e 1864, onde tiveram estreito contato com outros grupos sociais, como escravos da nação, trabalhadores livres e soldados artífices<br>Abstract: ¿Liberated african¿, ¿freed african¿, ¿prize negroes¿ and ¿emancipado¿. These expressions, in the nineteenth century, indicated the juridical status of every ilegally enslaved africans rescued by government authorities in slave trade ships after the slave trade prohibition. Once captured by a government, like Brazil¿s Empire, they should be put to work as ¿apprentices¿. It was the Empire's responsibility to keep liberated africans under guardianship for 14 years, and then release them, according to an agreement between Brazil and the British Crown. His was not accomplished by Brazil's Empire, and so most liberated africans served either the state or private hirers their entire lives. Liberated africans¿ social and juridical condition was two-fold: they were in a society in which africans were mostly slaves and still their freedom was hardly prevented by a guardianship surrounded by uncertainty. Their high level of peculiarity has shaped series of specific facts and circumstances, most of them in state¿s environment, to manage and control them. The documentation this specific administration left behind can reveal new meanings for the complex nineteenth century¿s labor world. That is why liberated africans are a key to understand more about labor relation changes at that time. This paper focuses liberated africans¿ experience in a powder factory owned by the Empire between 1830 and 1864, where they happened to be in touch with different social groups, like government slaves, free workers and military craft workers<br>Mestrado<br>Historia Social<br>Mestre em História

Full textAbstract:
Lorsque l’on se penche sur les poèmes appelés ballades, objets d’une furieuse vogue dans le monde germanique depuis le Sturm und Drang, on se heurte partout à l’absence d’accord sur ce qui fait leur spécificité. C’est en partie dans cet espace poético-musical protéiforme qu’est forgé le lied romantique. Franz Schubert (1797-1828) passe ses premières années de compositeur à mettre en musique de longues ballades, et y revient jusqu’à la fin de sa vie ; Carl Loewe (1796-1869) passe maître de cet art. La ductilité du genre, sa résistance aux tentatives de définition sur le double terrain des lettres et de la musique (Sulzer 1771-1774, Koch 1802, Hegel 1818-1830, Häuser 1833…) mettent en péril sa propre pérennité, mais font aussi de lui un extraordinaire terrain d’expérimentation pour la lyrique musicale en effervescence. Il entre en résonance avec bien des enjeux de la musique du XIXe siècle, parmi lesquels la pratique orale des interprètes, récitants et chanteurs, la question de la narration musicale, et les passerelles entre musique de salon et scène lyrique, entre domaine vocal et domaine instrumental. Cette thèse souhaite contribuer à éclairer le devenir du Kunstlied à travers le prisme d’un de ses lieux privilégiés d’élaboration. Avec la ballade, cet étrange hybride de récit sans conteur identifiable, de drame sans scène et de musique, les dimensions du traditionnel Lied germanique s’élargissent jusqu’à l’émergence du Kunstlied ; mieux, elle fait d’entrée de jeu éclater l’unité émotionnelle de ce dernier. Notre recherche retrace ce parcours imprévisible et les questions qu’il soulève, pour mieux comprendre, non pas l’objet abouti que serait « le lied romantique », mais plutôt le passionnant travail de création artistique, le progressif modelage d’un objet musical, entre-deux des genres, dans ses multiples formes au fil du temps<br>When we look at the poems called ballads, which have been furiously popular in the Germanic world since the Sturm und Drang, we encounter a general lack of agreement on their specificity. The Romantic Lied was partly forged in this multifaceted poetic-musical space. Franz Schubert (1797-1828) spent his early composing years setting long ballads to music, and was to return to do so until the end of his life; Carl Loewe (1796-1869) became a master of this art. The ductility of the genre and its resistance to all attempts at defining it in the two fields of literature and music (Sulzer 1771-1774, Koch 1802, Hegel 1818-1830, Häuser 1833…) jeopardize its own durability, but also make it an extraordinary experimental field for the vibrant musical lyricism. It is in tune with many of the issues at stake in 19th-century music, including the vocal practice of performers, reciters and singers, the issue of musical narration, and the connections between salon music and lyric stage performance, between the vocal and instrumental realms. This dissertation attempts to shed light on the becoming of Kunstlied through the prism of one of its key development settings. The ballad, a strange hybrid of storytelling without an identifiable storyteller, of music and stageless drama, broadens the dimensions of the traditional German Lied until the emergence of Kunstlied; better still, it shatters the emotional unity of the latter from the outset. Our research retraces this unpredictable process and the questions it raises, in order to better understand not the accomplished object that would be “the romantic Lied”, but rather the exciting work of artistic creation, the progressive modelling of a musical object, between the genres, in its multiple expressions over time

Full textAbstract:
L'oeuvre de Gustave Oelsner-Monmerqué que notre thèse permet de découvrir offre une vision double, française et allemande, sur la société coloniale à Bourbon au début des années1840. Après une reconstitution détaillée de la biographie d'Oelsner-Monmerqué, l'étude met l'accent sur son pragmatisme abolitionniste dans l'exercice de ses fonctions de rédacteur en chef de la Feuille hebdomadaire de l'île Bourbon et de professeur de philosophie et de proviseur du Collège royal de Bourbon. En Allemagne, il poursuit son militantisme abolitionniste activement par voie littéraire à travers un roman, des articles de presse, des communications et une conférence. En publiant Schwarze und Weiße. Skizzen aus Bourbon (Noirs et Blancs. Esquisses de Bourbon) dans un pays qui ne possède pas d'esclaves, l'écrivain tente de contribuer à une émancipation plus rapide et complète. Son éclairage sur les conditions de la traite clandestine et sur la vie des esclaves dans la société bourbonnaise se distingue par son réalisme qui doit son expressivité au genre littéraire novateur de l'esquisse. Au-delà des frontières, cet ouvrage peut être considéré comme le premier roman abolitionniste bourbonnais<br>Gustave Oelsner-Monmerqué's work unearthed by us and presented in our doctoral thesis offers a double – French and German – vision of colonial society in Bourbon (now Reunion) Island in the early 1840s. This study begins with a detailed reconstitution of Oelsner-Monmerqué's life, then focuses on his abolitionist stance and actions as editor of the Feuille hebdomadaire de l'Ile Bourbon [Bourbon Island Weekly] and philosophy teacher at and principal of the Collège royal de Bourbon high school. Oelsner-Monmerqué pursued his abolitionist activism in Germany through literary channels: a novel, press articles andconferences. By publishing Schwarze und Weiße. Skizzen aus Bourbon [Blacks and Whites. Sketches of Bourbon] in a country which had no slaves, the author meant to contribute to their quicker and more complete emancipation. His descriptions of illegal slave trade and slave life in Bourbon Island's society have a realistic, expressive touch made possible by the use of an innovative literary genre, the sketch. A cross-boundary testimony, this work can be regardedas Bourbon Island's first abolitionist novel

C'est ainsi qu'Armand Wallon résumait en 1976 les résultats d'analyses macroéconomiques concernant l'agriculture française du troisième tiers du xixe siècle et que l'on a longtemps caractérisés par l'expression forte de 'retard agricole français'. Cette constatation de la faiblesse des productivités de l'agriculture française de cette époque, en comparaison avec celles obtenues par l'Angleterre et l'Allemagne notamment, a suscité de multiples explications au cours des années 1950, 1960 et 1970. Pour les historiens anglo-saxons, qui ont une approche qui associe l'économie à la démographie sous un angle résolument comparatif', la France n'aurait pas connu de poussée démographique suffisamment forte pour pouvoir stimuler de manière significative son agriculture. De même, la croissance de la population urbaine n'aurait pas été assez importante pour engendrer un déséquilibre avec la population rurale si conséquent qu'il ait pu générer une intensification de l'agriculture. Ces historiens soulignent aussi le handicap qu'aurait constitué la petite exploitation française et lui opposent la réussite, en terme économique, du grand domaine anglais. L'historiographie rurale française s'est aussi beaucoup intéressée à ce phénomène'. Les explications qu'elle a apportées sont d'ordres psychologique, économique, social et politique. Les paysans français auraient tout d'abord été méfiants vis-à-vis du progrès et atteints d'un mal particulier, la fierté du propriétaire, qui leur aurait fait préférer l'achat de terrains à l'amélioration des terres qu'ils possédaient déjà. Ensuite, la petite exploitation que l'on oppose, là encore, au modèle du grand domaine anglais est mise en accusation: le grand nombre de Inini-exploitations qui n'auraient pas été des entités économiquement viables aurait ralenti l'essor de l'agriculture française.

Jahrhundert von der Entdeckung aussereuropäischer Gebiete als mögliche professionelle Einsatzfelder abgehalten und so das deutsche Offizierkorps lange Zeit von imperialen Phantasien unberührt und unerfahren in den Herausforderungen kolonialer Kriegführung belassen. Tatsächlich reichte die Beteiligung deutscher Soldaten an imperialen Auseinandersetzungen jedoch bis in die Zeit der amerikanischen Revolution zurück. Der Wunsch nach Gleichberechtigung mit anderen expandierenden Ländern wie Grossbritannien, Frankreich oder Russland war seitdem nicht nur in kleineren deutschen Staaten mit einer Tradition imperialen Kriegsdienstes "unter fremden Fahnen" weit verbreitet. Auch in Preussen zirkulierten Phantasien eines deutschen Kriegszuges nach Indien bereits in der Zeit der napoleonischen Besatzung. Seitdem entwickelten Generationen deutscher Offiziere immer wieder Visionen eines deutschen Kolonialreiches, ein Wunsch, der insbesondere in längeren Friedensperioden in Europa virulent wurde. Besondere jüngere, gebildete und ambitionierte Offiziere aus elitären Regimentern sahen in imperialen Unternehmungen ihre Chance auf ruhmreiche Bewährung im Krieg. Bei einer Reihe von bisher weitgehend unbekannten Gelegenheiten nahmen diese auch aktiv an den kolonialen Kampagnen anderer Mächte teil. Die Arbeit untersucht daneben auch die Gründe, warum dieser Strang militärischen Denkens und Handelns lange Zeit marginalisiert wurde: die Verwirklichung imperialer Projekte schien gerade aus militärischen Gründen einen vereinigten Nationalstaat zu erfordern, eine Forderung, die Offiziere politisch verdächtig machte und die imperiale Fraktion innerhalb des deutschen Offizierkorps lange Zeit isolierte und in den Untergrund trieb. Als das deutsche Kaiserreich gegen Ende des 19. Jahrhunderts jedoch schliesslich tatsächlich in den Kreis der Kolonialmächte eintrat, war dessen Militär keineswegs vollständig unvorbereitet, sondern konnte auf ein zwar wechselhaftes, jedoch lange zurückreichendes und bisweilen intensives theoretisches und praktisches imperiales Engagement zurückblicken.

En tant que mode privilégié de la participation du citoyen aux affaires de la cité, il est à la fois élément et garant de sa liberté politique. En tant qu'institution disciplinaire, il le soumet à un système coercitif et l'isole de la société civile. La nationalisation de la force armée par la conscription introduit donc une tension irréductible entre citoyenneté et discipline, et pose concrètement le problème de la liberté politique. Egalitaire dans son principe, le service militaire ne concerne pourtant que la frange masculine de la population, l'absence des femmes dans l'armée répondant à leur exclusion des droits civiques. L'universalité de l'obligation se trouve par ailleurs contrecarrée par les stratégies de certains groupes sociaux pour négocier des conditions favorables. Plutôt que d'opposer le modèle de conscription républicaine à la française au militarisme prussien, cet ouvrage s'attache à montrer comment la Prusse a répondu de manière dialectique à l'institution révolutionnaire de la violence de masse. La Révolution française et la Réforme prussienne sont ainsi appréhendées comme deux moments d'un processus intrinsèquement transnational. Cet ouvrage entend mettre à l'épreuve de l'Histoire le problème politique tel que l'ont formulé Rousseau et Kant, en s'appuyant sur des sources officielles, des autobiographies, lettres, chansons, conçues comme des articulations subjectives de la modernité politique.

Defence date: 3 October 2014<br>Examining Board: Professor Heinz-Gerhard Haupt, supervisor (European University Institute); Professor Lucy Riall (European University Institute); Professor Catherine Brice (Université Paris-Est Créteil); Professor Oliver Janz (Freie Universität Berlin).<br>This thesis compares the motives, experiences and practices of Germans in the Papal, Bourbon and Garibaldian armed groups. It shows how solidarity was, on all political sides, increasingly conceptualized as an act by and between nations and argues that political mobilization did not necessarily directly inform the single enlistment. Recruitment activities not only combined mercenary traditions with new forms of communication and association, but they also overlapped, leading many to change between armed groups. The study provides the first in-depth statistical analysis of these Germans based on soldiers’ registers, contextualizing it with transnational soldiering across Europe; not only did Germans stay in the regular armies for quite long periods, but previous and later enlistments in other armies were common - this also holds true for the "German" Garibaldians. Examining hitherto neglected economic incentives, the study demonstrates the plurality of political, cultural, economic and professional motives of single soldiers, thus blurring the lines of the opposition between the militarily inexperienced political war volunteer and the mercenary that is so central to the polemics of the time and "new Risorgimento historiography". Based on legal sources and soldiers’ reports, the study analyses the every-day life of Germans in the Italian armed groups in terms of a culturally revived "new military history", and is particularly attentive to issues of masculinity. The different institutional contexts the Germans were placed in - e.g. foreigners’ corps, ministries - informed differing experiences. In contrast to the multi-national make-up of many corps, imagery of national grouping progressively superseded formal military structures, resulting in continuous comparisons of corps and nationalities and increases in "nationalizing" experiences. This goes counter to the image of foreign commitment in Italy as a cosmopolitan experience and an a priori positive understanding of the "transnational". Hence, the role of foreign soldiers was crucial for the "military" Risorgimento and "revirilization".

This represents later a basic part for a following analysis in the second, practical part. The second part, the analysis of books, includes general information about the book, brief content of a book and attributes of main characters. It is followed by comparison of historical reality with reality shown in the book. At the end of the whole thesis, there is the third part ? comparison of all three novels, generally as well as from the point of view of the main characters and the historical fidelity of books.

Summary in English<br>Romanticism as a broad movement of thought developed
as a reaction against rationalism and empiricism in the period
of Enlightenment. In his critical evaluation of Getman
literature Eichendorff as a historian exammes the
excessiveness of esoteric theories in the work of the young
intellectuals of the early romantic period in Getmany. The
romanticists' idealist celebration of the self, and their tendency
to overestimate the power of the imagination and the supreme
value of art led to self-adulation and subjectivism which was
unacceptable to Eichendorff s understanding of art and
religion. The "romantic" attempt at creating a new mythology
usmg art as a new kind of religion and thereby making the
poet an omnipotent creator could only be rejected by
Eichendorff whose moral convictions were strongly based on
Christian Catholic beliefs. The young romanticists replaced
ethics with aesthetics. Eichendorffs judgement of this
development is devastating. He describes the early romantic
movement as a "premature abortion".<br>Classics and Modern European Languages<br>M.A. (German)

Full textAbstract:
Heinrich Wölfflin (1864-1945) is considered one of the most influential art history scholars. His study entitled "Kunstgeschichtliche Grundbegriffe" ("Principles of Art History"), published in 1915, gained considerable response, both critical and favourable. In the study, Wölfflin attempted to explain transpersonal principles of periodically repeating artistic evolution. This evolutionary process, culminating in two phases, conditions entire artistic output (architecture, sculpture, painting, artistic craft), which thus developes within predetermined limits. Wölfflin defined each phase by concepts-pentad that gives a true picture of its character. First of the climaxes is the art oriented according to the analogy with the sense of touch; the second one is the artistic output defined by the analogy with the sense of sight. Wölfflin deduced the contradiction of the "linear style" (fixed to objects) and the "painting style" (wedded to purely optical qualities) from evolutionary degrees of human imaginantion, which developes precisely from haptic to visual projections. This progression - as emphasized by him - is always one-way and can not be reversal. Both these style-types are being permeated by various, historicaly conditioned culturally-historical contents that represent an outer component of the...

Die vorliegende Untersuchung arbeitet die wesentlichen gesellschaftspolitischen und ökonomischen Entwicklungslinien heraus, die sich während der geschichtlichen Umbruchphase um 1830 im deutschen Raum aus dem letzten Akt von Goethes Faust II ableiten lassen.
Tiefgreifende politische, wirtschaftlich-technische und kulturelle Umwälzungen zu Beginn des 19. Jahrhunderts wirkten auf Goethe als Zeitgenossen ein und wurden von ihm in seinem literarischen Spätwerk verarbeitet. Aus Goethes Alterswerk Faust II heraus lassen sich Konstanten und Entwicklungen seiner Zeit sichtbar machen und, immer eingebettet in den zeitgeschichtlichen Kontext, konkret nachweisen. Diese Ausarbeitung will aufzeigen, dass Goethe im letzten Akt von Faust II einen sich zu Beginn des 19. Jahrhunderts vollziehenden – und teils bereits vollzogenen - Wandel der menschlichen Geisteshaltung attestiert. Säkularisierung und zweckorientierte Rationalität, Beschleunigung, Enthumanisierung und Unterwerfung von Mensch und Natur stehen hierbei im Mittelpunkt.
Fausts aus seinem Pakt mit dem Teufel entstandene Welt nimmt die uns heute umgebende vorweg, die geprägt ist von Datenflut, elektronischen Medien, einer von Alltagshektik geprägten Realität und systemimmanenten Expansionsstreben. Allein dies verleiht dem Drama ein unübersehbar hohes Gegenwartspotential.<br>This thesis explores the trends of socio-political developments during the period of historical changes in Germany around 1830 that can be deduced from Act V of Goethe´s Faust II.
Profound political, technical, economic and cultural changes at the beginning of the nineteenth century had an impact on Goethe as a contemporary and appear in his late literary work. Thus specific constants and developments of his time are also presented in and can be deduced from one of the great literary works of the aged poet, Faust II.
This paper shows that the final act of Faust II Goethe reveals profound changes in human mentality that took place at the beginning of the nineteenth century and partly even before: Secularization and ruthless rationality with a tendency to acceleration, de-humanization and unscrupulous submission of human beings and nature.
The world that originated from Faust´s pact with the devil in Faust II anticipates the reality surrounding us nowadays, a reality characterized by a flood of data, electronic media and the hectic pace of everyday life, - a fact vouching for the play´s striking modernity.<br>Classics & World Languages<br>M.A. (German)
