Abstract

"The Danish director Lars von Trier is undoubtedly one of the world's most important and controversial filmmakers, and arguably so because of the depiction of women in his films. He has been criticized for subjecting his female characters to unacceptable levels of violence or reducing them to masochistic self-abnegation (Bess in Breaking the Waves, "She" in Antichrist and Joe in Nymphomaniac). At other times, it is the women in his films who are dominant or break out in violence, such as in his adaptation of Euripides' Medea, the conclusion of Dogville and perhaps throughout Nymphomaniac. Lars von Trier's Women confronts these dichotomies head on. Editors Rex Butler and David Denny do not take a position either for or against von Trier, but rather considers how both attitudes fall short of the real difficulty of his films, which may simply not conform to any kind of feminist or indeed anti-feminist politics as they are currently configured. Using Lacanian psychoanalysis and the work of Slavoj Žižek, Lars von Trier's Women reveals hidden resources for a renewed "feminist" politics and social practice. "--Bloomsbury Publishing.

Abstract

This book explores the influence of Helmuth von Moltke, Germany's Chief of the General Staff between 1906 and 1914. Based largely on previously unknown primary sources, it analyses the General Staff's role in military decision-making and Moltke's relationship with Kaiser Wilhelm II, as well as the genesis of the Schlieffen Plan and Germany's military and political reactions to the many pre-war crises. Moltke's influence on Germany's political decision-making was decisive, helping to foster an increasingly confrontational mood. The book takes specific issue with the common perception of Moltke as an ineffectual and reluctant military leader, remembered primarily for the defeat at the Battle of the Marne and his alleged adulteration of the Schlieffen Plan. It concludes that he was both bellicose and ambitious, hoping for war 'the sooner the better' and playing a crucial role in the outbreak and early months of the First World War.

Abstract

Die Studie leistet eine entziffernde Lektüre sprachreflexiver und poetologischer Gedichte des österreichischen Dichters Hugo von Hofmannsthal, dessen Texte als chiffrierte Epochensignaturen interpretiert werden. Das lyrische Werk wird in seiner sprachkünstlerischen Gestaltung erschlossen und als Dokument der Sprachgeschichte lesbar gemacht.Den Ausgangspunkt der linguistischen Analyse bildet die Überzeugung, dass den ausgewählten Gedichten Hofmannsthals eine individuelle Spracherfahrung zu Grunde liegt, die im lyrischen Text ihre ästhetische Präsenz gewinnt. Indem sich die Darstellung einem herausragenden Protagonisten der Moderne nähert, wird der deutsch-österreichischen Sprachgeschichtsschreibung ein bedeutsames Ka-pitel hinzugefügt. Die Gedichte als Ausdruck eines literarischen Sprachbewusstseins sind in einen Zusammenhang mit sprachreflexiven Äußerungen, sprachkritischen Anmerkungen und Zeugnissen sprachkulturellen Engagements gestellt: Diese (sprach)politische, soziale und kulturelle Kontextualisierung liefert die Voraussetzung dafür, Hofmannsthals literarische, hier: lyrische Spracharbeit als Paradigma der klassischen Moderne zu skizzieren.

Abstract

The musical writings of scientist Hermann von Helmholtz (1821-94) have long been considered epoch-making in the histories of both science and aesthetics. Widely regarded as having promised an authoritative scientific foundation for harmonic practice, Helmholtz can also be read as posing a series of persistent challenges to our understanding of the musical listener. Helmholtz was at the forefront of sweeping changes in discourse about human perception. His interrogation of the physiology of hearing threw notions of the self-possessed listener into doubt and conjured a sense of vulnerability to mechanistic forces and fragmentary experience. Yet this new image of the listener was simultaneously caught up in wider projects of discipline, education and liberal reform. Reading Helmholtz in conjunction with a range of his intellectual sources and heirs, from Goethe to Max Weber to George Bernard Shaw, Steege explores the significance of Helmholtz's listener as an emblem of a broader cultural modernity.

Abstract

In the second part of this comprehensive all-new two-volume military history of the Franco-Prussian War, the author continues his narrative from the fall of the Second Empire until the ending of the war, and the founding of a unified Germany. The war against the Government of National Defence presented quite different problems to von Moltke and his staff. Although the Siege of Paris loomed large during the second phase of the war, the author fully explores events in other parts of France, including the siege of Strasbourg, the activities of the Francs Tireurs, the investment of Metz, and the b

Abstract

In the first part of this comprehensive all-new two-volume military history of the Franco-Prussian War, Quintin Barry presents a detailed account of the war against the French Imperial Army waged by the armies of the German Confederation, directed by that supreme military mind, Helmuth von Moltke. The author places Moltke and his strategic planning in the context of the European balance of power following the ending of the Austria Prussian War of 1866, before exploring the initial mobilization and deployment of the armies in 1870. All of the battles of this opening round of the war are describ

Abstract

Die historisch-semantische Studie untersucht Otto von Bismarcks Verwendung des Terminus Volk und seiner Synonyme wie Nation oder Stamm und fragt, in welchen Argumentationsmustern Bismarck solche Ausdrücke typischerweise zur Durchsetzung seiner politischen Intentionen einsetzt.Für die Analyse werden methodisch zwei Ansätze - ein semasiologisch-onomasiologisch orientierter textlexikografischer und ein argumentationstheoretischer Ansatz - miteinander verknüpft. So werden nicht nur die linguistische Ebene des Wortes, sondern auch jene der Textpassage und des Textes einbezogen. Anhand der semasiologisch-onomasiologischen Methode wird analysiert, was Volk in Bismarcks Sprachgebrauch bedeutet. Zur Vertiefung von pragmatischen Fragestellungen werden wiederkehrende Argumentationsmuster (Topoi) in Textpassagen unterschiedlicher Textsorten und Entstehungszeiten herausgearbeitet, in denen Volk-Ausdrücke vorkommen. Bismarck gebraucht bestimmte wiederkehrende Argumentationsmuster mit jeweils bestimmten Volk-Ausdrücken und ein "offenes System" von Volk-Ausdrücken, um - oft unter Verwendung von Topoi - in Abhängigkeit von Zeit, Situation, Textsorte und Adressat bestimmte politische Ziele durchzusetzen bzw. zu legitimieren.
