Although the German states under the leadership of Prussia had prepared themselves for the operational requirements of a war against France in the years following 1866, they had underestimated the need for a mobilisation of their home country in order to achieve a successful outcome. Therefore private help had to be activated to fulfil important tasks at home coordinated by the states. A central requirement German governments faced at home was the care for the Wounded, the family members of drafted soldiers and French POWs. Since the states were able to provide neither money nor personnel for these tasks, they endeavoured systematically to acquire and exploit the necessary support of the population through the foundation and centralisation of patriotic relief associations. In the process, the authorities tried to gain maximum control over the associations through the state; to achieve this, they even accepted a partly reduced efficiency of the relief actions. The costs explosion and the declining support for the relief associations at home clearly indicate that in the course of the campaign, the war against France was seen more and more critically, and an initial war euphoria - if it had existed on a large scale at all - wore off quickly. Voluntary activities in medical orderly detachments, which had been stylised as a selfless patriotic sacrifice were often based on social pressure and sensation-seeking and thus can hardly be used as evidence for an alleged war euphoria. This, is illustrated by the work of the Order of St. John of Jerusalem which in general was rather counterproductive. The practice of collecting donations for support associations, increasingly enforced in the course of the war, and the growing involvement of women in the war effort on the home front demonstrate that the Franco-Prussian war had a much greater effect on Germany's social structures than had been recognised by research until now Y1 - 2005 ER - TY - JOUR A1 - Kunst, Christiane T1 - Ornamenta uxoria.

Post-war statements by German diplomats portrayed the conservative elite as reluctant participants in Hitler's drive to war. However, an examination of the foreign policy views of German conservatives reveals a significant degree of convergence with Nazi goals in their desire to revise Germany's post-Versailles borders with Poland. In order to understand the role of the German diplomatic elite, it is also necessary to understand the degree to which foreign policy was subject to the same "polycracy" of decision-making instances that characterised the structure of the "Third Reich" in general.

La première partie de l’ouvrage, consacrée à l’exemplarité d’une histoire illustrée de gravures qui ont durablement marqué les représentations du passé, revisite la question des grands hommes, reproduit, traduit et analyse la circulation d’exemples édifiants entre les deux espaces. La deuxième partie traite d’un mode de représentation pédagogique de l’histoire qui suscitait, et suscite toujours, la fascination tout en posant un défi de méthode: l’usage pédagogique d’un tableau permettant de saisir d’un seul coup d’oeil toute l’histoire d’un peuple voire de l’humanité tout entière, et d’en tirer des leçons politiques. L’idée, encore structurante aujourd’hui, d’un modèle politique ou pédagogique allemand ou français d’une écriture de l’histoire couplée, ou non, à la géographie est examinée ici au prisme des contextes précis où elle a été pensée.

Der Hintergrund der Überlegungen ist die ‚monokulturelle‘ Kondition der polnischen Gesellschaft nach den Katastrophen des 20. Jahrhunderts, die u.a. in den literarischen Rückgriffen auf die vergangene kulturelle Pluralität in den letzten drei Dekaden kritisch reflektiert wurde, heute aber wieder – in der populistisch-nationalistischen Politik – affirmiert wird. Dabei ermöglicht eine historische Perspektive auf die kulturellen Verflechtungen des literarischen Schreibens in der polnischen Sprache einen Einblick in die historisch heterogenen Formen literarischer Transkulturalität, die von den jeweiligen politischen und sozialen Kontexten abhängen. Eine umfassende Behandlung des Schreibens in der polnischen Sprache unter Bedingungen des Sprachwechsels bzw. der Mehrsprachigkeit seit der frühen Neuzeit bis zum 20. Jh. bleibt ein Desiderat. Den Höhepunkt einer auf diese Art gedachten Literaturgeschichte bildet – so die These des Artikels – die spezifische Ausprägung der polnisch-jüdischen Literatur in der Zwischenkriegszeit, in welcher Konzepte einer hybriden Doppelzugehörigkeit in linguistischen und topographischen Chiasmen dramatisch auf die Spitze getrieben werden und somit die ungelösten Probleme der Zeit spiegeln.

BT - the Abyssinian War (1935-36) in the Eyes of Foreign Military Observers JF - International Journal of Military History and Historiography N2 - The conflict between Italy and Ethiopia in 1935–36 has been framed as a prelude to the Second World War and as a watershed towards ‘Total War’. One perspective has so far been neglected: the assessments of foreign military observers. This article examines American, British, German, and Austrian views on the operations and thereby also analyses the mindset of European officers at the time. The core argument emerging from these reports is that the war was perceived as a rather ‘normal’ colonial conflict. Neither the use of gas, nor the employment of aircraft against civilians was seen as a taboo or created significant outrage among the military observers. Instead, they lauded the Italians’ steady logistical efforts and employment of artillery and airpower to overcome nature and the enemy’s resistance.

Yet there are differences between the ways in which they present their theme. Some of these differences pertain to genre conventions of autobiography and Christian hagiographic writing, but these are further conditioned by the concrete expectations of the intended audience and the authors’ different religious beliefs. While both are primarily engaged in creating different types of role models, the charge of magic functions as a narrative moment that shapes the character of the relevant hero differentially.

The fable has not only developed a literary tradition of its own, but from the beginning, it was also used as a rhetorical device, the exemplum. A diachronic overview of the genre and especially the use of the fable as exemplum reveals that Phaedrus adapts these terms in a new and ingenious way. In a case study of fable 3.9 this paper demonstrates how the fable finds its place in the literary tradition of the motif, how Socrates is presented as a model for the poet’s persona and how an intricate network of inter- and intratextual references is established between Socrates, Aesop, Phaedrus, and his potential successors. The subtle irony of the poet is particularly evident in the gradual development of the poet’s persona into a caricature, but the message of the fable itself remains unaffected: the value of true friendship.

Between August 1982 and February 1984, the US, France, Britain and Italy deployed a Multinational Force (MNF) to Beirut. Its task was to act as an interposition force to bolster the government and to bring peace to the people. The mission is often forgotten or merely remembered in context with the bombing of US Marines’ barracks. However, an analysis of the Italian contingent shows that the MNF was not doomed to fail and could accomplish its task when operational and diplomatic efforts were coordinated. The Italian commander in Beirut, General Franco Angioni, followed a successful approach that sustained neutrality, respectful behaviour and minimal force, which resulted in a qualified success of the Italian efforts.

His exploits as a guerrilla leader in Italian East Africa in 1941 have been exaggerated to forge a narrative of an honourable resistance against overwhelming odds. Thereby, Guillet has been showcased as a romanticized colonial explorer who was an apolitical and timeless Italian officer. He has been compared to Lawrence of Arabia in order to raise his international visibility, while his genuine Italian brand is perpetuated domestically. By elevating him to an official role model, the Italian Army has gained a focal point for military heroism that was also acceptable in the public memory as the embodiment of a ‘glorious’ defeat narrative.

Especially the war's impact on Wilhelmine foreign and world policy (Weltpolitik) has been largely neglected. However, the events in East Asia had a profound influence on the political leadership in Berlin. The Wilhelmstrasse's attitude towards the conflict changed rapidly when the course of the war in Northeast Asia made a collapse of the Qing Empire increasingly likely. Afraid of the prospect of being left empty handed in an upcoming scramble for China, German diplomacy got active in early 1895. Driven by a hectic activism which soon should become a dominant feature of Weltpolitik, Berlin concluded an ad-hoc alliance with St. Petersburg and Paris. In April 1895, this unlikely coalition intervened against Tokyo. While the Triple Intervention served primarily Russia's interest to maintain the status quo on the Chinese mainland, Germany aimed at the acquisition of a military and commercial base in Northeast Asia. Driven by public opinion, the naval leadership and the Emperor Wilhelm II., the formerly neutral and reserved German diplomacy changed towards an aggressive and unstable imperialist policy, which ultimately resulted in the acquisition of Qingdao in November 1897.

In both Korean states, the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK) as well as the Republic of Korea (ROK), the so-called humanitarian aid that was provided to them in the form of medical and economic assistance to help surmount the hardship of the postwar period is remembered with great appreciation to this day. However, critical views on the German engagement in Korea are still relatively hard to find. In this paper, two exemplary cases will be studied: the GDR’s city reconstruction project in the North Korean cities of Hamheung and Heungnam and the FRG’s medical assistance to the ROK by means of the West German Red Cross Hospital in Busan. By looking at primary sources like governmental documents, this thesis will examine the geopolitical conditions and particular national interests that stood behind the German development and humanitarian aid for the Korean states at that time, thus shedding light on the political goals the two German states pursued, and the benefit they expected to derive from their engagement in Korea. Sources consulted include primary archival materials, secondary sources like monographs, journal articles, contemporary newspaper articles, and interviews with contemporary witnesses. N2 - In dieser Masterarbeit wird der Hintergrund des Engagements der Bundesrepublik Deutschland (BRD) und der Deutschen Demokratischen Republik (DDR) in Korea in den 1950er Jahren im Kontext des Kalten Krieges analysiert. Während und nach dem Koreakrieg erhielten die beiden koreanischen Staaten, die Demokratische Volksrepublik Korea (DVRK) sowie die Republik Korea (ROK) sogenannte Humanitäre Hilfe in Form von medizinischer und wirtschaftlicher Hilfe zur Überwindung der Not. Bisher gab es zahlreiche Forschungen zu diesem Thema, die historische Fakten ausgegraben haben, aber kritische Ansichten dazu sind noch relativ schwer zu finden. In dieser Arbeit werden zwei beispielhafte Fälle untersucht: das Wiederaufbauprojekt der DDR in den nordkoreanischen Städten Hamheung und Heungnam und die medizinische Hilfe der BRD in der ROK durch das Westdeutsche Rotkreuzkrankenhaus in Busan. Anhand von Primärquellen wie Regierungsdokumenten werden in dieser Arbeit die geopolitischen Bedingungen und besonderen nationalen Interessen untersucht, die hinter der deutschen Entwicklungs- und humanitären Hilfe für die koreanischen Staaten zu dieser Zeit standen. Außerdem werden die politischen Ziele sowie der Nutzen beleuchtet, den sich die BRD und die DDR von ihrem Engagement in Korea versprachen. Zu den konsultierten Quellen zählen primäres Archivmaterial, sekundäre Quellen wie Monographien, Zeitschriftenartikel, zeitgenössische Zeitungsartikel und Interviews mit zeitgenössischen Zeugen.

Focusing on the thought of Michael Pollan, Jonathan Schorsch questions the modernist, materialist and rationalist worldview of many foodies and discusses a lack of attention to culture, tradition, and religion.
