How do states govern in times of crisis and why did a state budget become the "book of fate" for Germany? The history of the Reich Ministry of Finance provides answers to these questions. This volume shows how the desire for reempowerment and leadership in financial politics after 1919 played a role in allowing democratic negotiation to become the exception and dictatorial rule to become the new normal. Wie wird in Zeiten der Ausnahme regiert? Diese Frage kennzeichnete die Geschichte des Reichsfinanzministeriums, die am Ende des Ersten Weltkrieges begann und mit dem moralischen und ökonomischen Bankrott des nationalsozialistischen Regimes endete. In ihrer breit angelegten Monografie untersucht Stefanie Middendorf den Mikrokosmos dieses Ministeriums in den krisen- und kriegsgetriebenen Jahrzehnten zwischen 1919 und 1945 und legt zugleich eine tiefgreifende Analyse bürokratischer Macht unter den Bedingungen von Demokratie und Diktatur vor. Die Studie zeichnet die Staatsvorstellungen der Beamtenschaft ebenso nach wie die Regierungstechniken des ministeriellen Apparates und die internationalen Resonanzräume der Haushaltspolitik. Über den historischen Moment von 1933 hinweg blieb das Reichsfinanzministerium überraschend stabil, zugleich getrieben von Erwartungen an entschlossene politische Führung. Die Beamtenschaft des Ressorts erlebte verschiedene Aggregatszustände der Ausnahmeherrschaft und trug ihrerseits dazu bei, die Spielräume staatlicher Ermächtigung immer wieder auszudehnen, bis in den neuerlichen Kriegszustand und die nationalsozialistische Vernichtungspolitik. Die Autorin zeigt mit diesem Buch, dass die technokratische Praxis von Staatsverwaltungen als eminent politische Dimension einer Geschichte des Regierens zu verstehen ist.

"On Belonging and Not Belonging provides a sophisticated exploration of how themes of translation, migration, and displacement shape an astonishing range of artistic works. From the possibilities and limitations of translation addressed by Jhumpa Lahiri and David Malouf to the effects of shifting borders in the writings of Eugenio Montale, W. G. Sebald, Colm Tóibín, and many others, esteemed literary critic Mary Jacobus looks at the ways novelists, poets, photographers, and filmmakers revise narratives of language, identity, and exile. Jacobus's attentive readings of texts and images seek to answer the question: What does it mean to identify as-or with-an outsider? Walls and border-crossings, nomadic wanderings and Alpine walking, the urge to travel and the yearning for home-Jacobus braids together such threads in disparate times and geographies. She plumbs the experiences of Ovid in exile, Frankenstein's outcast Being, Elizabeth Bishop in Nova Scotia and Brazil, Walter Benjamin's Berlin childhood, and Sophocles's Antigone in the wilderness. Throughout, Jacobus trains her eye on issues of transformation and translocation; the traumas of partings, journeys, and returns; and confrontations with memory and the past. Focusing on human conditions both modern and timeless, On Belonging and Not Belonging offers a unique consideration of inclusion and exclusion in our world"-- "A look at how ideas of translation, migration, and displacement are embedded in the works of prominent artists, from Ovid to Tacita Dean"--
