The author of the above quotation, Rudolf Jokiel, was one of over twelve million ethnic Germans expelled from their homes in Germany's eastern provinces (East Prussia, Pomerania, Brandenburg, and Silesia), the Sudetenland, and other pockets of Eastern Europe at the end of World War II and resettled within the country's truncated postwar borders. The expellees bitterly lamented their enforced exile, and many Christians within this population shared Jokiel's sentiments concerning the connection between faith and homeland. Those who settled in the territory of the Federal Republic of Germany (West Germany) developed an elaborate network of overlapping subcultures dedicated to preserving their memories of lost homelands and advocating for their right to return there. In the process, these lands came to acquire a distinctly religious aura, holy places that were integral to their spiritual well-being.

Yugoslav composer Rudolf Bruči is known on the international scene primarily as the author of Sinfonia Lesta, a composition winning the first prize in 1965 at the Queen Elizabeth Competition in Belgium. On a national level, Bruči was a powerful social entity, not only in respect of his creative freedom. As a member of the League of Communists, Bruči spent a lifetime as an official in social organizations and cultural institutions, thus dictating the rhythm of musical life of Novi Sad and the Province of Vojvodina, until the collapse of Socialism when he was suddenly forgotten. The developmental line of Bruči’s oeuvre – leading from Zhdanovian national classicism, through the adoption of elements of the European avant-garde, to the reaffirmation of a national/regional idiom in the mid-1970s – largely corresponds to the general tendencies of postwar art music in the socialist countries of Eastern and South-Eastern Europe. Bruči broke with the European avant-garde models not only in his creative practice, but he also reasoned it in the articles “The Composers’ Role in the Modern Development of Self-governing Socialist Society,” “Statements of Yugoslav Music Forum Composers’ Workgroup,” and “Manifesto of the ‘Third Avant- Garde’,” where he based his discourse on conformism, lack of communication and dehumanization of avant-garde, and in particular on Yugoslav ideological projects, such as self-management, non-alignment, and deprovincialization. The article analyzes the context in which Bruči’s creative transformation during the 1970s was expressed as the criticism of the Eurocentric cultural model, as well as the suspicion towards the imperative of modernization in a world obsessed with technological advances.

Un constat s’impose : les penseurs français sont presque absents des débats et des discussions sur l’écologie politique dans le monde anglophone. C’est un peu surprenant si l’on considère que depuis plus d’un demi-siècle, toute nouveauté philosophique ou méthodologique française - qu’elle provienne par exemple de Sartre, Lévi-Strauss, Foucault ou Derrida - a trouvé des adeptes dans le monde anglophone. Des centaines de livres et des milliers d’articles sur l’écologie politique ont été écrits en anglais. Plusieurs ouvrages tentent une classification et une synthèse de toutes les variétés de la pensée écologique. Même si leurs auteurs se réfèrent le plus souvent à d’autres penseurs anglophones, ils mentionnent aussi les travaux des Allemands Hans Jonas, Rudolf Bahro, Ulrich Beck et Klaus Eder, du norvégien Ame Naess, de l’indienne Vandana Shiva.

AbstractRudolf von Habsburg was a recurring motif in Austrian literature after the assumption of an Austrian imperial title by Emperor Francis II/I in 1804. These depictions were nourished by an enthusiasm for the Middle Ages circulating at the beginning of the nineteenth century and focused on the House of Habsburg and the establishment of Habsburg rule in Central Europe in the thirteenth century. As the ancestor of the ruling dynasty, Rudolf von Habsburg was idealized as the symbolic figure of identification for a collective state patriotism, a depiction that emphasized the historic mission of the dynasty and the legitimacy of its rule in the recently established empire. To this end, several complementary strategies—including divine providence, feudal approaches, classical genealogies, German-Austrian patriotism, and historical as well as contemporary references—were employed in texts to construct the Habsburg dynasty's claim to power in Central Europe. The past described in the texts, however, had little in common with historical reality but was rather an artificial design to justify Habsburg hegemony in the region.

Abstract This article studies the layered coexistence and mutual shaping of three forms of differentiation (functional, segmentary, hierarchical) in rural Uzbekistan, a region of world society that, since 1991, is undergoing tremendous processes of socio-economic transformation and change. More precisely, we analyse the evolving governance of land, water and agricultural support services (knowledge & advice) in the Uzbek province of Khorezm, where currently three types of farms utilise various social practices to navigate a complex and partly opaque environment marked by various forms of differentiation, each posing different opportunities, threats and coordination mechanisms (institutions). In doing so, the article builds on Rudolf Stichweh’s considerations of world society’s structural patterns, its ‘Eigenstructures’ as well as Niklas Luhmann’s conceptualisation of world society’s autopoietically closed function systems. Based on ethnographic research, we argue that the mobilisation of patron-client relationships, a complex system of coercive reciprocity and a trilogy of formal, strategic and discursive practices are widely employed to cope with the coexistence of an undermined layer of functional differentiation and reaffirmed/reinvented segmentary and hierarchical identities. We argue that the skilful navigation by local actors between these different differentiation forms and their demands, embodies a short-term adaptation strategy that is likely to hamper a (re-)crystallisation of autonomous functional domains. Hampering functional differentiation jeopardises long-term change adaptation.

Full textAbstract:
The tectonic evolution of the cratonic elements of Proterozoic Australia has been debated for over 20 years. There is a growing view that plate margin processes were involved in the tectonic evolution and growth of the pre-Cryogenian elements of Australia, however the timing, nature and configuration of cratonic amalgamation remains contentious. This study investigates the metamorphic, geochronological and isotopic evolution of key or debated areas of Proterozoic Australia, focusing on the proposed southern margin of the Archean to Paleoproterozoic North Australian Craton (NAC) in the Arunta Region, and eastern margin of the Archean to Paleoproterozoic West Australian Craton (WAC) in the Rudall Province. The overall aim of this study is to provide new constraints on Proterozoic tectonism in the Arunta Region and Rudall Province in order to better understand the timing and nature of Proterozoic Australia assembly. In the southern Aileron Province (Arunta Region), the Mount Hay area and Adla Domain occur close to the proposed Paleoproterozoic southern margin of the NAC. Pressure– temperature (P–T) constraints indicate the attainment of peak metamorphic conditions of ~8–10 kbar, ~850−900 °C for Mount Hay and the adjacent Capricorn Ridge, and ~7–10 kbar, ~850−900 °C for the Adla Domain fabrics. The granulite facies metamorphism postdates a period of extensive basin development in the Arunta Region between c. 1805−1780 Ma. This basin development was associated with magmatism and localised high temperature–low pressure (HTLP) metamorphism. Hf isotopic data on late Paleoproterozoic granitoids (c. 1650–1625 Ma) from the Aileron Province have isotopic compositions close to CHUR (ɛHf -6.2 to +1.5) and crustal model ages between 2200–2700 Ma. The granitoids are broadly contemporaneous with the c. 1640–1635 Ma Liebig Orogeny in the Warumpi Province, which involved coeval mafic magmatism, suggesting at least some component of extension. The Paleoproterozoic tectonic evolution of the Arunta Region (southern NAC) is considered to have involved a long-lived (>150 Ma) margin with an overall extensional character punctuated by comparatively localised and short lived periods of thickening. In the central Aileron Province, the tectonothermal evolution of the Anmatjira Range Province has been debated considerably over the last 20 years. The timing and metamorphic evolution of the Anmatjira Range was investigated using monazite U–Pb geochronology and P–T pseudosections calculated for high temperature granulite facies metapelites in the southeastern Anmatjira Range. Estimated peak conditions of ~870–920 °C and ~6.5–7.2 kbar were attained at c. 1580–1555 Ma, followed by a clockwise retrograde evolution. In the absence of concurrent magmatism, and lack of evidence of decompression from high-P conditions, the most probable driver for this metamorphism is heating largely driven by high-heat production from older granites (c. 1820–1760 Ma) in the region. To the west, the Rudall Province (eastern WAC) is one of the few localities of Proterozoic, Barrovian-style metamorphism in Australia. In several previous studies, the Rudall Province has been considered to record the collision of the WAC and NAC during the Yapungku Orogeny at c. 1780 Ma. However, prior to this study, medium-P assemblages interpreted to have grown during the Yapunkgu Orogeny (inferred thermal gradients of minimum ~60–80 °C/kbar) had not been directly age-constrained. Monazite age data on metasedimentary rocks from both medium-P and high temperature–low pressure (HTLP) assemblages, and zircon U–Pb age data from a medium-P, garnet-diopside bearing mafic amphibolite yield age populations between c. 1380 and 1275 Ma, with one monazite age population of c. 1665 Ma. No evidence for older c. 1780 Ma metamorphism was found in this study. The large age population range of c. 1380– 1275 Ma yielded in this study may be a response of a stage-wise tectonic evolution, involving the accretion of ribbons. If the Yapunkgu Orogeny does reflect the collision between the WAC and NAC, it most likely did not occur until the Mesoproterozoic, contemporaneous with initial breakup stages of supercontinent Nuna. The overall results of this work support a long-lived, retreating margin on the southern NAC during the late Paleoproterozoic, prior to the assembly of cratonic Australia in the Mesoproterozoic. The proposed Mesoproterozoic assembly negates the need for Australian cratons to be in close proximity in supercontinent Nuna reconstructions.Thesis (Ph.D.) (Research by Publication) -- University of Adelaide, School of Physical Sciences, 2015.

This chapter provides an overview of the basic tenets of anthroposophical music therapy (AnMt) by presenting its historical development and current scope of practice. The AnMt approach has its foundations in anthroposophy, a doctrine developed by Rudolf Steiner (1861–1925). AnMt developed as a therapy practice incurative educationwhich is an interdisciplinary anthroposophical approach to remedial work with people with intellectual disabilities (König 1966). AnMt’s therapeutic processes, including referral, diagnosis, and treatment, will be described here along with reference to the early and current training programmes. The specific musical elements and instruments used in AnMt are highlighted to provide information about some of the unique aspects of this approach.

Case studies of bad people who committed highly immoral actions provide a way of examining our own errors in moral deliberation. Albert Speer, Hitler’s Minister of Armaments and War Production, narrowly focused on the objectives of his job and thereby avoided thinking about the larger context in which his job was situated. Franz Stangl, commandant of Treblinka death camp, used compartmentalization and a lack of imagination to live with the fact that he oversaw the deaths of roughly one million innocent people. Rudolf Höss, commandant of Auschwitz, shut off his natural emotional responses in order to focus on carrying out the orders of his superiors. Charles Colcock Jones, American slaveholder, convinced himself that he was actually doing good for the slaves on his own and on neighboring plantations. Ted Bundy, serial killer, was a psychopath, but provides a useful example of extreme errors in moral deliberation.

For a long time now, digitalization has arrived in movement, play, sport, and dance. In many areas, the analog can hardly be separated from the digital. The situation seems to be different in the education sector. Where does sports science stand? What approaches does this cross-sectional discipline offer? The contributions in this volume provide insights into the sports science debate on this topic. They outline overarching lines of discussion, present research results, and draw perspectives for the sports science debate with a view to (educational) political dimensions, the staging of teaching-learning settings, international discourses on new practices in the health sector, and the development of innovative research methods.

Clausius completed the heat engine analysis that Carnot started by eliminating the caloric theory on which it was based and replacing it with Joule’s heat–work equivalence. He proceeded to validate Carnot’s theory of the irrelevance of the working substance’s nature by proving equivalent performances between an engine based an ideal gas and one based on liquid–vapor water. Clausius embraced two principles that became forerunners of the 1st and 2nd Laws of Thermodynamics: 1) heat–work equivalence, and 2) heat must flow from hot to cold whenever work is done in a cyclic process. He also introduced a new physical property of matter he named U, which later became known as internal energy. In his work, Clausius took the first major step towards completion of thermodynamics.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter compares Rudolf von Laban’s and Mary Wigman’s practices and theories of vibrant gestural flow with Walter Benjamin’s theory of gesture as vibrant or intervallic interruption. For Laban and Wigman, gesture mirrors a vitalist understanding of life that is based on the assumption of transhistorical continuities of vibratory exchange between human and cosmic energy. Benjamin’s Brechtian gestures, by contrast, address historical inscriptions and manipulations of bodies, which provide comment on the conditions of society by subjecting to critique aspects of the idea of flow that pertain to unquestioned political figurations of power. This chapter thus explores three gestural manipulations of vibrant energy, and shows what they engender: in Laban, a process of transmission between dancers and spectators; in Wigman, an “action mode” of movement, which she called “vibrato”; and, in Benjamin, a possibility for philosophical insight, but also a disruptive revolutionary charge.

Abstract During and after the Second World War, the Dresdner Kreuzchor frequently performed Brahms’s choral mourning works in memorial services. Brahms drew on Lutheran mourning customs in the composition of his German Requiem, though the work had circulated in increasingly secular contexts in the years since. The Dresdner Kreuzchor repositioned Brahms’s Requiem as part of Lutheran burial culture, using these customs to provide emotional solace both during the war and after their city was firebombed in February 1945. Brahms’s Requiem also influenced new choral memorial works within the Kreuzchor community. This included a mourning motet and a Requiem by Rudolf Mauersberger, the cantor of the Dresdner Kreuzchor from 1930 to 1971. By turning to Brahms in both composition and performance, members of Dresden’s oldest musical institutions maintained their nation’s cultural heritage, expressed their personal grief about the firebombing, and avoided verbally articulating guilt about their involvement in the Third Reich.

Chapter VIII looks at two examples of individual missionaries who, although originally part of larger foreign, Protestant organizations, sought to pursue their own agenda in Japan. The first, Rudolf Bolling Teusler, successfully ran St. Luke’s Hospital, ministering to the foreign and domestic population of Tokyo alike. In doing so, he was able to provide a service to the urban poor offset by the funds of the wealthier ex-patriot community in the Kantō region. William Merrill Vories, an evangelical teacher originally, branched out in the Kansai region, opening a fruitful architectural firm as well as a pharmaceutical industry. With the money from these endeavors, he opened his Omi Mission and Brotherhood’s sanatorium for the diseased. Both men utilized native assistance, but both successfully prevailed in the moral enterprise by finding a niche that suited the environments, thus not depending solely on the government for continued assistance. Similarly, they were able to transform the question of cui bono to who should benefit?

This chapter focuses on the role of the legionaries in creating the state of Czechoslovakia. It shows how the legionaries and their activities, while often romanticised, dramatised and vulgarised, were awkwardly harnessed to the needs of the new establishment. They could be cast in the mould of earlier Czech heroics, especially those of the Hussite warriors; they regularly served as avengers of the great defeat on the White Mountain in 1620. Yet their deeds proved hard to reconcile with the peaceable and democratic traditions which many Czechs also prided themselves upon. The legionaries, especially those in Russia, were, according to the propaganda, meant to be pictures of moral idealism and a foundation stone in the creation of the Czechoslovak Republic. Indeed, the legions had made the liberation of the Czechoslovaks from Austria-Hungary possible. This chapter looks at some of the motifs of legionary literature, paying particular attention to the works of Josef Kopta and Rudolf Medek. It examines the portrayal of Jews, for the works of Medek and Kopta provide an exemplary crop of Czech inter-war anti-Semitism.

Full textAbstract:
Troubadour song has been explored as an expression of courtly love and early vernacular song creation, even mythologized as a brief flowering of a romanticized Occitanian golden age. However, troubadour songs also importantly act as expressions of place and provide indices of contemporaneous regional communities and identities. Contemporary with the Second Crusade, the troubadour songs Pax in nomine Domini by Marcabru and Lanqan li jorn by Jaufre Rudel employ circularity, dialectic, and movement as ways of expressing place and creating a sense of near versus far. These songs should not be understood as only fixed texts; rather in sounding, transmission, and the enacting of motion they move through new environments and assume new agency as they travel. Troubadour songs of the Second Crusade thus transcend the role of fixed musical object to mediate between the position of composer-poet, the voice of the performer, and the reception of distant listeners.

From the late nineteenth century, violent criminality became the subject of various scientific debates and by the time the First World War erupted, modern criminology could provide a coherent system of knowledge to determine the meanings and categories of physical violence. One of the most important milestones in the scientization of individual criminal behavior was the publication of Cesare Lombroso’s theory of the “born criminal,” which elicited much debate in Europe, especially as it went against prevailing liberal views that contended that crime was the expression of free will and the individual needed to take full responsibility for his or her actions. Whilst Lombroso’s concept of an inherent criminal behavior did not find universal approval, as this chapter shows, his claims about the connection between physiognomy and delinquent tendencies did. Various German and Austrian experts, such as Paul Julius Möbius and the French-Austrian psychiatrist Bénedict Augustin Morel argued that degeneracy and physical appearance were indeed correlated and that environmental and behavioral influences, such as inadequate upbringing, alcoholism, or drug taking led to degeneration, which could then be inherited by future generations. Even so, criminologists argued that not all degenerate individuals would commit crime, but due to their degeneracy they were less resistant to external influences and thus would not always be able to resist the temptation to criminal behavior.

Full textAbstract:
The demand for illicit drugs can leverage dramatic changes in land cover and associated native biological diversity. These changes, in turn, can lead to loss of critical habitats and rare species of plants and animals, in addition to the degradation of remaining habitats and the contamination of water bodies. Concomitantly, demand can transform social and economic processes, acting against the interests of long-time residents, such as indigenous groups, by attracting new colonists and fomenting crime and violence. Given these potential interconnections between illicit drugs and grave social and environmental consequences, it is more than peculiar that so much scholarly work on environmental transformations does not consider drug-related causes in those countries that supply or transship the drugs. Examples of this myopia include most of the literature on tropical deforestation, where illicit drugs are ignored (e.g., Anderson 1990; Wood 1990; Dove 1993; Myers 1993; Place 1993; Rudel 1993; Brown and Pearce 1994; Jepman 1995; Goldsmith 1998; Barraclough and Ghimere 2000; Horta 2000). The chapters in this book partly correct this deficit and I provide here information for the case of Peru and for “coca/cocaine.” In this chapter, I provide an overview of the way these processes have acted in Peru in relation to the demand for coca leaves, which are transformed into cocaine paste and cocaine. I find great spatial heterogeneity in the negative impacts, at least some of which can be explained by the values and practices of particular social groups. A political ecology approach is helpful in this assessment because by definition illicit drugs intermix the power of governments and economic forces with outcomes toward and resistance by local peoples. I begin by characterizing “coca/ cocaine,” first disaggregating the two words and then showing how the associated processes have affected geopolitics acting upon and within Peru. Then, I examine the evidence available for the effects of coca/cocaine on local landscapes inhabited by indigenous and other social groups. Finally, I outline the known environmental consequences. In the conclusion, I provide the elements necessary for a more complete research agenda that, in turn, could provide the information needed to explore policy alternatives for the social actors involved.

Full textAbstract:
Coal exploitation has produced a huge amount of mining waste whose considerable part is being piled on the waste dumps. The analysis was carried out in the area of Ruda Slaska city. The waste dumps are located within the city limits. The spontaneous processes of succession can thus help to manage such urban landscapes in compliance with the principles of sustainable development. The majority of such territories are managed and restored. However, some areas avoid reclamation processes and instead undergo the process of spontaneous vegetation or even landscape succession. The aim of the research is first and foremost to characterize the spontaneous succession of vegetation in terms of habitat requirements to which we include light, temperature, humidity, trophic conditions, reaction (pH), granulometric composition and plant life forms. In the second place the aim was to determine the direction of the spontaneous succession of vegetation as well as to demonstrate the usefulness of such types of research while planning the reclamation of the post-mining areas that have been deformed to suit the urban landscape. The result of the analysis showed the occurrence of 108 vascular plants in I and 60 in II waste dump. It was mostly photophilous species that prevailed on both waste dumps. They were mostly native as well as non-native species. Some species like Calamagrosits epigejos, Robinia pseudoacacia, Betula pendula have high biological productivity despite unfavorable conditions. The overgrown dumps shaped the image of the city landscape in a specific way. However, the investigation showed that the number of species on the waste dumps increases with time. The results of the research into the conditions that reign on the dumping grounds provide the basis for projects of reclaiming the post-mining sites, in particular the waste dumps, from raw material extraction, as well as demonstrate the usefulness of the spontaneous succession of plants.
