Junge Menschen zwischen 15 und 24 Jahren bildeten bis 1961 die grosste Altersgruppe unter den DDR-Fluchtlingen. Im Westen wurden sie anfanglich nur mit Vorbehalt aufgenommen, zumal viele lediglich als Wirtschaftsmigranten oder als -Abenteurer- erschienen. Ihre Pragung durch ein sozialistisches System machte sie suspekt in der jungen Bundesrepublik, die sich selbst gerade in der -Freiheit des Westens- einubte. Als Arbeitskrafte gewannen die jungen Migranten indessen rasch an Bedeutung, so dass ihre Eingliederung institutionell gefordert wurde. Die Entfaltung des Integrationsapparats steht im Mittelpunkt der Studie. Sie gibt damit zeithistorische Informationen fur die aktuelle Debatte um Zuwanderung und Integration sowie besonders zur deutschen Vereinigungskrise der neunziger Jahre."

From “Who Put the Bomp (in the Bomp, Bomp, Bomp)?” to a list of all song titles containing the word “werewolf,” Rock Music in American Popular Culture II: More Rock ’n’Roll Resources continues where 1995’s Volume I left off. Using references and illustrations drawn from contemporary lyrics and supported by historical and sociological research on popular cultural subjects, this collection of insightful essays and reviews assesses the involvement of musical imagery in personal issues, in social and political matters, and in key socialization activities. From marriage and sex to public schools and youth culture, readers discover how popular culture can be used to explore American values. As Authors B. Lee Cooper and Wayne S. Haney prove that integrated popular culture is the product of commercial interaction with public interest and values rather than a random phenomena, they entertainingly and knowledgeably cover such topics as:answer songs--interchanges involving social events and lyrical commentaries as explored in response recordings horror films--translations and transformations of literary images and motion picture figures into popular song characters and tales public schools--images of formal educational practices and informal learning processes in popular song lyrics sex--suggestive tales and censorship challenges within the popular music realm war--examinations of persistent military and home front themes featured in wartime recordingsRock Music in American Popular Culture II: More Rock ‘n’Roll Resources is nontechnical, written in a clear and concise fashion, and explores each topic thoroughly, with ample discographic and bibliographic resources provided for additional research. Arranged alphabetically for quick and easy reference to specific topics, the book is equally enjoyable to read straight through. Rock music fans, teachers, popular culture professors, music instructors, public librarians, sound recording archivists, sociologists, social critics, and journalists can all learn something, as the book shows them the cross-pollination of music and social life in the United States.
The Christmas Carol Reader

Like that Biblical, astronomical star of Bethlehem, The Christmas Carol Reader guides readers on their quest for information about Christmas songs. Studwell gathers a composite picture of the world's most important and famous carols and includes an ample selection of lesser-known Christmas songs. All of the carols are presented in their historical and cultural contexts which adds to readers’understanding and appreciation of the songs.As the only book that covers this elusive topic, The Christmas Carol Reader informs and entertains readers on over 200 songs of all types (sacred and secular), of all periods (Middle Ages through the 20th century), and from a number of countries and cultures. Because many of the songs in The Christmas Carol Reader fit into more than one distinct category, Studwell wisely divides the songs into two major groups--those that reflect Christmas as a Holy Day and those that celebrate Christmas as a Holiday. Here is just a sample of the breadth of coverage of songs:Sacred: From Heaven Above to Earth I Come; O Come, O Come Emmanuel; Angels From the Realms of Glory; As With Gladness Men of Old; O Holy Night (Cantique de Noël); Thou Didst Leave Thy Throne Secular: Happy Holiday; A Holly Jolly Christmas; God Rest You Merry, Gentlemen; Silver Bells; Here Comes Santa Claus; I'll Be Home for Christmas Medieval: Puer Natus in Bethlehem (A Boy Is Born in Bethlehem); Coventry Carol; I Sing of a Maiden; La marche des rois (The March of the Kings); In Dulci Jubilo 1500--1700's: Bring a Torch, Jeanette, Isabella; I Saw Three Ships; Carol of the Bagpipers 1800's: Adeste Fideles (O Come All Ye Faithful); O Little Town of Bethlehem; What Child Is This?; It Came Upon a Midnight Clear; Stille Nacht, Heiliege Nacht (Silent Night) Spirituals: Go Tell It on the Mountain; I Wonder as I Wander; Mary Had a Baby; Rise Up, Shepherd, and Follow Little Known: O Bethlehem!; The Sleep of the Infant Jesus; Song of the Nuns of Chester Countries and Cultures: O Tannenbaum; Lulajze Jezuniu (Polish Lullaby); Fum, Fum, Fum; Carol of the Bells; Patapan; El rorro (The Babe)As readers learn about the history and nature of the Christmas carol in general and the specific history of individual religious and secular carols, they will learn some history and nature of the holiday season which can bring more enjoyment into their celebrations for years to come.On long winter nights, The Christmas Carol Reader can be read continuously as a series of fact-based commentaries on Christmas music. For shorter periods in between holiday activities, readers can peruse one of the topical sections or select, with the aid of the title index, an individual essay of interest. As a library reference, this book can provide facts for research on Christmas songs or just provide an entertaining education for curious library patrons.

Flaubert Und Der Vergleich

Flaubert Und Der Vergleich

Peter Lang AG

Trotz der grossen Zahl wissenschaftlicher Publikationen uber Gustave Flaubert (1821-1880) gibt es noch Themenbereiche, zu denen bisher keine umfassende Monographie vorliegt. Dies gilt beispielsweise fur die so uberaus zahlreichen Vergleiche, die man in den Meisterwerken des Normannen findet. Diese Arbeit stellt den ersten Versuch einer solchen Monographie dar. Sie zielt darauf ab, die stilistische -sotte manie- des Formpuristen Flaubert - -a propos de rien il me vient toujours des comparaisons- - nicht zuletzt auch ausgehend von seiner Personlichkeit zu beleuchten. Das -Ringen mit den Vergleichen-, das Flaubert in seinen Selbstzeugnissen immer wieder beschreibt, offenbart sich dabei als der Kampf des nach kontrollierter, selbstverleugnender -impersonnalite- strebenden Kunstlers gegen die unwillkurliche Manifestation seines Ich im Werk, ohne dass damit ein Verzicht auf die kunstlerische Urbarmachung Flaubertscher Subjektivitat einherginge."
