"In Nach Mitternacht, the author Irmgard Keun unveils a society that is a counter-image to that portrayed by the National Socialist regime. By giving the reader an amplified yet sharp picture of life in the Third Reich, Keun not only exposes the Regime's repression mechanisms, but she also raises the question of individual responsibility among the petit-bourgeoisie, discussing very early-on the issue of co-participation. Keun's critical engagement does not fall short of aesthetical quality. A seemingly naive narrator deconstructs Nazi discourse through various literary devices which break the one-to-one system of signification typical of totalitarian discourses. Keun succeeds in deconstructing the Nazi regime by focusing on specific parts of society, zooming in on different situations and on the lives of different people, offering the reader a dissected picture of life in the Third Reich. Hence, Keun delivers a critical and complex political analysis of the early years of the Third Reich"--Abstract. / Typescript. / "Spring Semester, 2002." / "Submitted to the Department of Modern Languages in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts." / Advisor: Birgit Maier-Katkin, Professor Directing Thesis. / Includes bibliographical references (leaves 42-44).

Revived in 1896 by the Frenchman Pierre de Coubertin, the Olympic Games have come to represent the ultimate international celebration of sport, culture, and the human spirit. The grandiose festival of the current day evolved into its mature form throughout the course of the twentieth century. However, no Olympiad altered the Olympic Movement as radically as the Berlin Olympics of 1936. Through the examination of key secondary sources and primary sources like, International Olympic Committee (IOC) records, personal testimonies, and newspaper articles, this thesis examines how and why the 1936 Nazi Olympics fundamentally altered the Olympic Movement and forced the Olympic Games to confront and adapt to a rapidly changing world. While the 1936 Berlin Games set many new precedents in the Olympic Games, three in particular stand out: the politicization of the host city selection process; the rise of government investment in Olympic outcomes; and the use of new technology and media.
