German Romantic Painting Redefined

German Romantic Painting Redefined

Mitchell Benjamin Frank

Ashgate Publishing Limited
2001
sidottu
The modernist aesthetic and, later, Nazi ideology split German Romantic painting into two opposed phases, an early progressive movement, represented by Caspar David Friedrich (1774-1840) and Philipp Otto Runge (1777-1810), and a later reactionary one - epitomized by Friedrich Overbeck (1789-1869) and Peter von Cornelius (1783-1867). In this rich and engaging book, Mitchell Frank explores the continuities between these two phases to reconstruct the historical position that existed in the nineteenth century and to look once again at the Nazarenes - and Overbeck in particular - as a fully integrated part of the Romantic movement. His innovative book is crucial to an understanding of German Romanticism and the legacy of this period in European art.

An Account of the Manners of the German Inhabitants of Pennsylvania, Written 1789
At a time in U.S. history when negative stereotypes and prejudices toward the Germans in Pennsylvania abounded, Benjamin Rush’s account sought to redeem their image in the eyes of Americans—both citizens and leaders. Rush uses sixteen points to discuss his observation of the habits and culture of the Pennsylvania Germans, portraying them as hardworking and industrious farmers, opposed to debt and excess.Published in 1789, just one year after the ratification of the U.S. Constitution, this account remains as part of an eighteenth-century narrative that stressed the virtues of Jeffersonian Republican ideals, which Rush held strongly. His positive generalizations about Pennsylvania German diet, material culture, work ethic, religion, hospitality, and other manners came from experience working with the members of the community, and are put forth to reinforce the group as an example of citizenship to others. The volume concludes with a call to citizens of the United States, and national and state legislators, to see the Pennsylvania Germans as a model for upholding the republican virtues of industry and economy. Benjamin Rush’s brief account is accompanied, in this reprint of an 1875 edition, by extensive notes, a preface, and appendixes written by the Pennsylvania historian I. Daniel Rupp.
Die römische Wirtschaft in der Provinz Germanien zur Kaiserzeit
Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2006 im Fachbereich Geschichte - Weltgeschichte - Fr hgeschichte, Antike, Note: 1,0, Universit t Mannheim, Veranstaltung: Die R mer in S dwestdeutschland, 27 Quellen im Literaturverzeichnis, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Eine umfassend angelegte Betrachtung der Wirtschaft der Antike im Allgemeinen und derjenigen der r mischen Provinzen im Speziellen, wie es Gegenstand dieser Arbeit ist, muss aus verschiedenen Gr nden problematisch sein. Ein wirtschaftliches Leben wie wir es heute kennen, oder gar wie wir es uns f r vergangene Zeiten vorstellten, gab es damals nicht. Allein schon aufgrund der demografischen Struktur, der technischen und finanziellen Mittel ergibt sich ein radikal ver ndertes Wirtschaftsbild von dem heutigen. Trotzdem k nnen wir f r die damalige Zeit ein reges wirtschaftliches Leben, Handelsbeziehungen, die den Transport von G tern in der gesamten damals bekannten Welt umfassten und sogar Kreditvergabesysteme nachweisen. Gerade jedoch der Nachweis, sprich die Erforschung der Quellen, bleibt problematisch, da diese nur unvollst ndig und l ckenhaft vorhanden sind. Vieles bleibt der Interpretation und Mutma ung berlassen. Auch die Frage nach dem Verst ndnis von Wirtschaft und nach der Wirtschaftsethik muss Beachtung finden, da es f r h here Schichten zum Teil sogar unschicklich war wirtschaftlich t tig zu sein und Kapitalvermehrung durch Handel oder Spekulation zugunsten von Investition in Land nicht oder selten stattfand. Schlie lich schl gt sich dies und die schwierige Auswertung der Quellen auch in der Forschung nieder, in der verschiedene Schulen unterschiedliche Auffassungen zu Struktur und Gestalt der Wirtschaft in der Antike vertreten. Au erdem kann beobachtet werden, dass das Thema Wirtschaft in der tradierten Forschung eher eine untergeordnete Rolle spielt. Ziel dieser Arbeit ist auch den Forschungsdiskurs aufzuzeigen, bzw. die Schwierigkeit, Wirtschaftsstrukturen a
Origin of the German Trauerspiel

Origin of the German Trauerspiel

Walter Benjamin

Origin of the German Trauerspiel was Walter Benjamin’s first full, historically oriented analysis of modernity. Readers of English know it as “The Origin of German Tragic Drama,” but in fact the subject is something else—the play of mourning. Howard Eiland’s completely new English translation, the first since 1977, is closer to the German text and more consistent with Benjamin’s philosophical idiom.Focusing on the extravagant seventeenth-century theatrical genre of the trauerspiel, precursor of the opera, Benjamin identifies allegory as the constitutive trope of the Baroque and of modernity itself. Allegorical perception bespeaks a world of mutability and equivocation, a melancholy sense of eternal transience without access to the transcendentals of the medieval mystery plays—though no less haunted and bedeviled. History as trauerspiel is the condition as well as subject of modern allegory in its inscription of the abyssal.Benjamin’s investigation of the trauerspiel includes German texts and late Renaissance European drama such as Hamlet and Calderón’s Life Is a Dream. The prologue is one of his most important and difficult pieces of writing. It lays out his method of indirection and his idea of the “constellation” as a key means of grasping the world, making dynamic unities out of the myriad bits of daily life. Thoroughly annotated with a philological and historical introduction and other explanatory and supplementary material, this rigorous and elegant new translation brings fresh understanding to a cardinal work by one of the twentieth century’s greatest literary critics.

The Origin of German Tragic Drama is Walter Benjamin's most sustained and original work. It begins with a general theoretical introduction on the nature of the baroque art of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, concentrating on the peculiar stage-form of royal martyr dramas called Trauerspiel. Benjamin also comments on the engravings of Durer and the theatre of Calderon and Shakespeare. Baroque tragedy, he argues, was distinguished from classical tragedy by its shift from myth into history. Georg Lukacs, an opponent of Benjamin's aesthetics, singled out The Origin of German Tragic Drama as one of the main sources of literary modernism in the twentieth century.

Cited by Lukács as a principal source of literary modernism, Walter Benjamin's study of the baroque stage-form called Trauerspiel (literally, "mourning play") is the most complete document of his prismatic literary and philosophical practice. Engaging with sixteenth- and seventeenth-century German playwrights as well as the plays of Shakespeare and Calderón and the engravings of Dürer, Benjamin attempts to show how the historically charged forms of the Trauerspiel broke free of tragedy's mythological timelessness. From its philosophical prologue, which offers a rare account of Benjamin's early aesthetics, to its mind-wrenching meditation on allegory, The Origin of German Tragic Drama sparkles with early insights and the seeds of Benjamin's later thought.
Catholic Theology in a Time of Upheaval and Transition: The German-Speaking Regions, 1750-1850
This book deals with a politically and intellectually exciting period in the history of Catholicism. In the late 18th and early 19th centuries, massive changes took place, especially in the German-speaking regions. First, the Holy Roman Empire ceased to exist, and new states emerged. Secondly, the Enlightenment exercised a significant effect on the wider culture, as did Classical German Philosophy. Both aspects had a significant impact on Catholic theology, too. Benjamin Dahlke offers a comprehensive account of these developments which have influenced Catholicism up to this day. In this sense, the book enables the reader to identify lasting substantive challenges and to gain a clearer understanding of the institutional framework of Catholic theology.
