Avant-garde Modernism In Architecture: A Re-analysis Of The Neue Sachlichkeit Architecture Within The Framework Of Posthumanism

Baran, Ceyda 01 September 2004 (has links) (PDF)
This thesis aims to re-analyze the early twentieth century modern architecture, with in the frame work of posthumanism. Referring to the materialist and socioconstructive architecture of Hannes Meyer, the study proposes a shift from humanist ways of production and reception to posthumanism, where the centrality of human in the productive processes of both art and life is questioned. With this respect, the thesis proposes a historical continuity with the post 1960&amp / #8217 / s posthumanist involvement of the postmodern architecture with the early twentieth century modern architecture. Moreover, it is argued that the ideal of modern architecture&amp / #8217 / s break with tradition could be realized through a move towards posthumanism referring posthumanist shift occurred in the avant-garde modernism. Within this framework the thesis, via proposing the book by Michael Hays: Modernism and the Posthumanist Subject: The Architecture of Hannes Meyer and Ludwig Hilberseimer as a pretext, argues that the modern architecture&amp / #8217 / s ideal of break with tradition is realized through the Neue Sachlichkeit architecture of Hannes Meyer within which the architectural production is integrated with the social and productive determinants of life.

Fiktive Frauengestalten im Spiegel der wechselnden Machtverhältnisse in Deutschland im 20. Jahrhundert : Eine intertextuelle Studie zum Werk von Irmgard Keun und Christa Wolf

Ley, Lisa January 2020 (has links)
Die vorliegende Studie analysiert in einem intertextuellen Vergleich die beiden Romane “Nach Mitternacht” von Irmgard Keun und “Kassandra” von Christa Wolf. Dabei wird in einem dialogischen Verfahren herausgearbeitet, wie die beiden Schriftstellerinnen durch die Stimmen der Hauptfiguren zu den Themen Emanzipation, Kriegserfahrung, Emigration und Flucht aus weiblicher Sicht Stellung nehmen. Es handelt sich um zwei Werke, die in einer Zeit der politischen Unterdrückung entstanden und die sich mit den Möglichkeiten auseinandersetzen, literarische Ehrlichkeit zu behalten, obwohl sich das Lesepublikum in einer Gesellschaft befindet, die unter strenger Zensur steht. Dabei wird besonders berücksichtigt, inwiefern sich die weibliche Erzählstimme abhebt von den Stimmen männlicher Erzähler in einer ähnlichen politischen Lage. Verschiedene Verzahnungen von Diktatur und Patriarchat werden durch die Perspektive weiblichen Erlebens und Erzählens beleuchtet. Im Vordergrund steht die Frage, ob sich die Sprache von weiblichen literarischen Figuren deutlich unterscheidet von dem Sprachgebrauch der männlich besetzten Heldenrollen, und wie sich dies in den beiden Romanen jeweils äußert. Die offizielle Sprache der Macht wird der subversiven Sprache der individuellen Stellungnahme gegenübergestellt.

Paul Renner and Futura: The Effects of Culture, Technology, and Social Continuity on the Design of Type for Printing

Leonard, Charles C. 12 January 2006 (has links)
This thesis reviews the circumstances that led to what Paul Renner called “the inflation of historicism,” places his response to that problem in the context of the Weimar Republic, details how the German attributes with which he began the project were displaced from the typeface that emerged in 1927, demonstrates that Futura belongs to a new category of serif-less roman fonts rooted in Arts and Crafts lettering, and considers why the specifically German aspects of the project have gone unrecognized for over seventy years. Renner’s writing is compared to ideas prevalent in early twentieth-century German cultural discourse, and Futura’s design process is placed in the context of Renner’s personal experience of Weimar’s social and economic crises. Objective measurements are employed to establish the relationship between drawings attributed to Renner and are used to compare features of Futura with other fonts of the period.

Auf dem Weg in die Selbstständigkeit : Frauenbildung und Berufsleben am Beispiel von Marie von Ebner-Eschenbachs Lotti, die Uhrmacherin, Theodor Fontanes Mathilde Möhring und Vicki Baums stud. chem. Helene Willfüer / On the way to independence : Women education and professional activity in Marie von Ebner-Eschenbachs Lotti, die Uhrmacherin, Theodor Fontanes Mathilde Möhring and Vicki Baums stud. chem. Helene Willfüer

Einarsson, Stella January 2020 (has links)
This study concerns the growing women´s independence movement and the professional activity among women in Germany and Austria from 1880 to 1928. Three female novel characters are examples of women who worked at home, chose to become teachers, or, in the beginning of 20th century studied science at the university and worked as scientists. This study aims at finding out if the women in the novels are shown as independent; if both female and male gender norms are represented and what differences there are between the novels. The three novels are Lotti, die Uhrmacherin by Marie von Ebner-Eschenbach and first published in 1880, Mathilde Möhring by Theodor Fontane and published in 1908 and stud. chem. Helene Willfüer by Vicki Baum, published in 1928. The analysis has shown that each one of the three novels expresses social criticism and describes problems the novel figures had because of their female gender. The chosen method for this study is a comparison between the novels and it is based on feminist literature theory. The comparison has shown that three novels have clear similarities and references to the year in which they were published and they discuss actual problems. Further research and analysis is relevant because of the complexity of women´s liberation and their path to equality.

Die Weimarer Jahre und Weimars Ende in den frühen Romanen von Victoria Wolff

Wenzel, Telse 18 October 2021 (has links)
Frauen*studium, Wirtschaftskrise, die Welt der Angestellten, der Topos der „Neuen Frau“ Weimars: Das sind einige der Themen von Victoria Wolffs ersten beiden Romanen – „Mädchen wohin?“ (1932) und „Eine Frau hat Mut“ (1933). „Gast in der Heimat“ (1935) und „Die Welt ist blau“ (1933) reagieren dann auf das Erstarken des Faschismus' und die Errichtung des NS-Regimes: „Gast in der Heimat“ schildert diese Zeit aus dem Blickwinkel einer deutsch-jüdischen Familie aus dem gehobenen Bürgertum, der Roman „Die Welt ist blau“ formuliert als Reaktion auf den moralischen Sinkflug in Deutschland auf einer seiner Ebenen Gegenentwürfe zum faschistischen Frauen*- und Gesellschaftsideal. Ich möchte danach fragen, welche Interpretationen, Gedanken, Positionen die Texte bei ihrem Blick auf die damalige Gegenwart formulieren – und mit welchen literarischen Mitteln sie das jeweils tun. / Studying women*, economic crisis, the world of employees, the topos of Weimar's „New Woman“: These are some of the themes of Victoria Wolff's first two novels – „Mädchen wohin?” („Girl, Where are You Heading to?“) (1932) and „Eine Frau hat Mut” („A Woman Of Courage“) (1933). „Gast in der Heimat” („A Guest in the Homeland“) (1935) and „Die Welt ist blau” („The World is Blue”) (1933) respond to the rise of fascism, as well as the establishment of the Nazi regime: „Gast in der Heimat” („A Guest in the Homeland“) describes this time from the perspective of a German-Jewish family from the upper middle class, while the novel „Die Welt ist blau” („The World is Blue”) formulates, on one of its levels, alternative drafts to the fascist ideal of women* and society as a replica to the moral decline in germany. I would like to ask the following questions: What interpretations, thoughts and positions do the novels formulate in their view of the present? And what literary means do they use to do it in each case?
