In der brüchigen Ordnung der altersschwachen Donaumonarchie suchen zwei Schriftsteller Orientierung, die unterschiedlicher kaum sein könnten: Der Linzer Hermann Bahr vollzieht nach seiner Begeisterung für extreme politische Strömungen eine radikale Wendung zur Kunst und wird zum umtriebigen Vermittler der jeweils neuesten Strömungen. Seine Kriegsbegeisterung steht in krassem Gegensatz zur Haltung des jüngeren Ungarn Andreas Latzko, dessen entschieden pazifistische Romane weite Verbreitung finden.Ihr Briefwechsel zeugt von einigen Jahren des regen Austausches in der Zwischenkriegszeit. Latzko verhält sich in dieser Beziehung stets respektvoll, Bahr freundschaftlich-reserviert. Beide verbinden literarische Interessen, die gesellschaftliche Isolation und schließlich auch zunehmende körperliche Beeinträchtigung. Reproduktionen von Originalbriefen und zwei zeitgenössische Erzählungen Latzkos, die hier erstmals wieder vollständig gedruckt erscheinen, ergänzen den Briefwechsel.

Featuring more than 75 illustrations, Magic Realism presents five thematic essays on the social and artistic spaces of Weimar culture. 'The Circus' examines artistic depictions of transgression, against the backdrop of mass entertainment; 'The Street and the Studio' demonstrates the inter-connections between public and private spaces in treatment and subject matter ; the significant upsurge in religious feeling is reviewed in 'Faith'; while 'The Cabaret' returns to the irreverent, presenting the unusual characters of the underground. Although the term ‘magic realism’ is today commonly associated with the literature of Latin America, it was inherited from the artist and critic Franz Roh who invented it in 1925 to describe a shift from the art of the expressionist era, towards cold veracity and unsettling imagery. The exhibition Magic Realism : Art in Weimar Germany 1919-33 at Tate Modern explores the diverse practices of a number artists, including Otto Dix, George Grosz, Albert Birkle and Jeanne Mammen

Le peintre, architecte et designer belge Henry van de Velde (1863-1957) fut un des protagonistes majeurs du renouveau des arts de la fin du XIXe siècle et de toute la première moitié du XXe siècle. Il est particulièrement reconnu pour avoir fondé et dirigé l'Institut des arts décoratifs qui s'est ouvert en 1927 à l'Abbaye de La Cambre à Bruxelles et qui continue à exister sous le nom d'École nationale supérieure des arts visuels de La Cambre. En revanche, la filiation entre l'école des métiers d'art que van de Velde mit en place à Weimar dès 1904 et le Bauhaus reste controversée, sinon méconnue. Pourtant, entre 1900 et 1914, van de Velde contribua à assurer à l'Allemagne un véritable succès européen en matière d'architecture et d'arts industriels, avant que le Bauhaus ne prenne le relais en 1919. Et c'était bien à Weimar, dans les murs mêmes de la Kunstgewerbeschule de van de Velde, que l'architecte allemand Walter Gropius inaugura le Bauhaus.

In popular imagery, Herbert Hoover is often stereotyped as a 'do-nothing' president who offered only nineteenth-century slogans for the greatest economic catastrophe in twentieth-century American history. Nothing could be further from the truth. This study examines the properties of an innovative approach to economic growth and stability formulated by Hoover and his associates during his years as secretary of commerce (1921-9) and inspects his deployment of this strategy from the White House following the Great Crash in the autumn of 1929. Attention is then focused on Hoover's attempts to reformulate his macro-economic programme as the depression deepened in late 1931 and 1932. Archival materials provide arresting insights into Hoover's aspirations for a new institution - the Reconstruction Finance Corporations - as a vehicle for stimulating investment through a novel form of 'off-budget' financing. To complement the discussion of Hoover's theories of economic policy in their various manifestations, the views of contemporary economists on problems of the day are surveyed.
