Inhalt: Although Jewish participation in German society increased after World War I, Jews did not completely assimilate into that society. In fact, says Michael Brenner in this intriguing book, the Jewish population of Welmar Germany became more aware of its Jewishness and created new forms of German-Jewish culture in literature, music, fine arts, education , and scholarship. Brenner presents the first in-depth study of this culture, drawing a fascinating portrait of people in the midst of redefining themselves. The Weimar Jews chose neither a radical break with the past nor a return to the past but instead dressed Jewish traditions in the garb of modern forms of cultural expression. Brenner describes, for example, how modern translations made classic Jewish texts accessible, Jewish museums displayed ceremonial artifacts in a secular framework, musical arrangements transformed synagogue liturgy for concert audiences, and popular novels recalled aspects of the Jewish past. Brenner's work, while bringing this significant historical period to life, illuminates contemporary and even enhancement of Jewish distinctiveness, combined with the seemingly successful participation of Jews in a secular, non-Jewish society, offer fresh insight into modern questions of Jewish existence, identity, and integration into other cultures.

Inhalt: Dieses Buch ist die erste monographische Studie zum Goldgrund in der italienischen Tafelmalerei. Anhand der Tafelbilder Fra Angelicos zeigt Saskia C. Quené, dass der mittelalterliche Goldgrund nicht einer neuzeitlichen Perspektive gegenübersteht, sondern selbst perspektivisch gedacht werden muss. Das Ergebnis ist eine grundlegende Revision der Geschichte perspektivischer Darstellungsformen im Glanz des Quattrocento. Darüber hinaus liefert das Buch Antworten auf die Frage, wie der Goldgrund im 20. Jahrhundert zum blinden Fleck der Kunstgeschichte werden konnte.

Inhalt: This book contains the first extensive study on the gold ground in Italian panel painting. In Fra Angelico's panel paintings, gold leaf applications and perspectival modes of representation complement each other. Therefore, this book revises the history of perspective and gives answers to the question of how the gold ground became a blind spot in art historical research over the past decades.

Serie: History of Mathematics Education,

Inhalt: The international New Math developments between about 1950 through 1980, are regarded by many mathematics educators and education historians as the most historically important development in curricula of the twentieth century. It attracted the attention of local and international politicians, of teachers, and of parents, and influenced the teaching and learning of mathematics at all levels-kindergarten to college graduate-in many nations. After garnering much initial support it began to attract criticism. But, as Bill Jacob and the late Jerry Becker show in Chapter 17, some of the effects became entrenched. This volume, edited by Professor Dirk De Bock, of Belgium, provides an outstanding overview of the New Math/modern mathematics movement. Chapter authors provide exceptionally high-quality analyses of the rise of the movement, and of subsequent developments, within a range of nations. The first few chapters show how the initial leadership came from mathematicians in European nations and in the United States of America. The background leaders in Europe were Caleb Gattegno and members of a mysterious group of mainly French pure mathematicians, who since the 1930s had published under the name of (a fictitious) "Nicolas Bourbaki." In the United States, there emerged, during the 1950s various attempts to improve U.S. mathematics curricula and teaching, especially in secondary schools and colleges. This side of the story climaxed in 1957 when the Soviet Union succeeded in launching "Sputnik," the first satellite. Undoubtedly, this is a landmark publication in education. The foreword was written by Professor Bob Moon, one of a few other scholars to have written on the New Math from an international perspective. The final "epilogue" chapter, by Professor Geert Vanpaemel, a historian, draws together the overall thrust of the volume, and makes links with the general history of curriculum development, especially in science education, including recent globalization trends.

Inhalt: Shakespeare famously wrote that some men are born great, some achieve greatness, and some have greatness thrust upon them. Part military history and part group biography, Generals in the Making tells the true story of how George Marshall, Dwight Eisenhower, Douglas MacArthur, George Patton, and their peers became the greatest generation of senior commanders in military history. As the US Army's triumphant homecoming from World War I was quickly forgotten amidst two decades filled with economic depression and growing isolationism, Marshall, Eisenhower, MacArthur, Patton, Omar Bradley, Lucian Truscott, Matthew Ridgway, and their brothers in arms toiled in a profession most Americans viewed with distrust. Before they became legends, these young officers served their country in posts from Washington, DC, to Panama, from West Point to war-torn China. They taught and studied together in the Army's schools, attempting to innovate in an era of shrinking budgets, obsolete equipment, and skeletal forces. Beyond these professional challenges, they endured shattering personal tragedies: the sudden deaths of children or spouses, divorce, depression, and court martial. Yet when the world faced possibly its darkest hour, as fascism and barbarism were on the march, they stood ready to lead America's young men in the fight for civilization. By the end of World War II, even German commanders expressed amazement at the dynamic change in American military leadership since the Great War. Generals in the Making is the first comprehensive history of America's World War II generals between the wars, an invaluable prequel to every history of that war

Serie: Frühe Neuzeit : Studien und Dokumente zur deutschen Literatur und Kultur im europäischen Kontext , 150

Inhalt: Die Studie widmet sich einem eng begrenzten, aber folgenreichen Moment der Intellectual History des 18. Jahrhunderts: Untersucht wird, wie die Philosophie Kants in den ersten Jahren nach Erscheinen der Kritik der reinen Vernunft (1781) in Deutschland zur herrschenden Denkrichtung aufstieg. Die Darstellung zielt darauf ab, die Debatte möglichst vollständig nachzuzeichnen, also z.B. auch die vielen an der Diskussion beteiligten anonymen Zeitschriftenartikel und Rezensionen zu berücksichtigen und miteinander zu vernetzen. Dabei wird deutlich, dass die Durchsetzung der neuen Philosophie keine geradlinige Erfolgsgeschichte, sondern ein verwickelter Prozess war, der nicht ohne heftige Kontroversen und erbitterte Widerstände (etwa von seiten der zeitgenössischen Popularphilosophie) ablief. Der kontroversengeschichtliche Ansatz der Arbeit wird mit einem metapherngeschichtlichen Ansatz verbunden, indem die besondere Aufmerksamkeit den kollektiven Metaphern gilt, in denen sich zentrale Argumente der Debatte symbolisch kondensieren - häufig mit polemischer Stoßrichtung (z.B. Gerichtshof der Philosophie, Grenzen der Vernunft). Insgesamt entsteht so ein plastisches Bild des intellektuellen Kräftefelds im Deutschland des späten 18. Jahrhunderts.

Inhalt: This study explores how the philosophy of Kant became the prevailing school of thought in Germany during the first years after the Critique of Pure Reason appeared (1781). The book shows that the acceptance of this new philosophy was a complicated process which did not proceed without intense controversies. From the rhetorical point of view, the focus is mainly on the collective metaphors which characterize the debate. All in all, a vivid picture is created of the intellectual arena in Germany in the late 18th century.

Serie: Bloomsbury Studies in Modern German Philosophy

Inhalt: In 18th-century Germany philosophers were occupied with questions of who we are and what we should be. Can the individual fulfill its vocation or is this possible only for humanity as a whole? Is significant progress towards perfection in any way possible for me or just for me as part of humanity? By following the origin and nature of these debates, this collection sheds light on the vocation of humanity in early German philosophy. Featuring translations of Spalding's Contemplation on the Vocation of the Human Being in its first version from 1748 and an extended translation of Abbt's and Mendelssohn's epistolary discussion around the Doubts and the Oracle from 1767, newly-commissioned chapters cover Johann Gottfried Herder's inherently cultural concept of the human being, Immanuel Kant's transformative interplay of moral and natural aspects, and the notion of metempsychosis in Fichte's work inspired by two neglected philosophers, Gotthold Ephraim Lessing and Johann Georg Schlosser. Opening further lines of inquiry, contributors address questions about the adaptations of Spalding's work that focus on the vocation of women as wife, mother or citizen. Exploring the multitude of ways 18th-century German thinkers understand our position in the world, this volume captures major changes in metaphysics and anthropology and enriches current debates within modern philosophy..

Inhalt: In the decades before the Second World War, popular musical theatre was one of the most influential forms of entertainment. This is the first book to reconstruct early popular musical theatre as a transnational and highly cosmopolitan industry that included everything from revues and operettas to dance halls and cabaret. Bringing together contributors from Britain and Germany, this collection moves beyond national theatre histories to study Anglo-German relations at a period of intense hostility and rivalry. Chapters frame the entertainment zones of London and Berlin against the wider trading routes of cultural transfer, where empire and transatlantic song and dance produced, perhaps for the first time, a genuinely international culture. Exploring adaptations and translations of works under the influence of political propaganda, this collection will be of interest both to musical theatre enthusiasts and to those interested in the wider history of modernism.

Inhalt: "Critical analysis of what we know - and do not know - about women in the Arab region is needed to support social change. But how is knowledge on women and gender produced in the region? How does this change when it is undertaken by Arab women researchers? Through a critical examination of local fieldwork experiences, the contributors of the volume - who are Arab women researchers themselves - answer these questions. The book examines the specific structural conditions that shape people's lives in the Arab region, from the effects of imperialism, settler colonialism and the neo-liberalization of economies, to racial capitalism, securitization, and embedded patriarchal ideologies and structures. The authors assess the implications of these different dynamics on undertaking research and also examine their own daily lives, the lives of their interlocutors, and the practices of their field. In doing so, they are able to escape hegemonic approaches and frameworks to the study of gender and to instead theorize from the local context to produce knowledge as they see it. This 'engaged gender research' challenges dominant discourses in academia, rejects the presumptions of 'Arab exceptionalism', and challenges liberal feminisms. It devises a new way of undertaking research on gender in the region to lay the foundation for a more just tomorrow. Covering Morocco, Tunisia, Palestine, Jordan, Syria, Iraq and the Arab Gulf, the book argues that an engaged gender research - which is feminist and critically analyses the historical, political, economic and social contexts of the research topic first - will transform how we understand women and gender, and the Arab World."--
