Download or read book The Myth of 1648 written by Benno Teschke and published by Verso Books. This book was released on 2020-05-05 with total page 490 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of the 2003 Isaac and Tamara Deutscher Memorial Prize This book rejects a commonplace of European history: that the treaties of Westphalia not only closed the Thirty Years' War but also inaugurated a new international order driven by the interaction of territorial sovereign states. Benno Teschke, through this thorough and incisive critique, argues that this is not the case. Domestic 'social property relations' shaped international relations in continental Europe down to 1789 and even beyond. The dynastic monarchies that ruled during this time differed from their medieval predecessors in degree and form of personalization, but not in underlying dynamic. 1648, therefore, is a false caesura in the history of international relations. For real change we must wait until relatively recent times and the development of modern states and true capitalism. In effect, it's not until governments are run impersonally, with no function other than the exercise of its monopoly on violence, that modern international relations are born.

Book Synopsis The World of Yesterday's Humanist Today by : Marion Sonnenfeld
Download or read book The World of Yesterday's Humanist Today written by Marion Sonnenfeld and published by State University of New York Press. This book was released on 1984-06-30 with total page 388 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fifty years ago, Stefan Zweig, who committed suicide in 1942, was the most widely read and translated living writer in the world. Zweig's Vienna was a world of bright, brittle superficialities, in which the bourgeoisie "gradually elevated the eternal business of seeing and being seen to the purpose of the existence." To break through the facades of this society, Zweig developed a remarkable literary and psychological method. In The World of Yesterday's Humanist Today, thirty scholars of history, literature, and music share their studies of Zweig and their insight into his works.
Book Synopsis Conflicted Memories by : Konrad H. Jarausch
Download or read book Conflicted Memories written by Konrad H. Jarausch and published by Berghahn Books. This book was released on 2007-05-01 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite the growing interest in general European history, the European dimension is surprisingly absent from the writing of contemporary history. In most countries, the historiography on the 20th century continues to be dominated by national perspectives. Although there is cross-national work on specific topics such as occupation or resistance, transnational conceptions and narratives of contemporary European history have yet to be worked out. This volume focuses on the development of a shared conception of recent European history that will be required as an underpinning for further economic and political integration so as to make lasting cooperation on the old continent possible. It tries to overcome the traditional national framing that ironically persists just at a time when organized efforts to transform Europe from an object of debate to an actual subject have some chance of succeeding in making it into a polity in its own right.
Book Synopsis DIE EUROPA TRILOGIE / THE EUROPE TRILOGY by : Milo Rau
Download or read book DIE EUROPA TRILOGIE / THE EUROPE TRILOGY written by Milo Rau and published by Verbrecher Verlag. This book was released on 2016-09-09 with total page 385 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Milo Raus "Europa Trilogie", die seit der Premiere des ersten Teils "The Civil Wars" im Jahr 2014 durch Europa tourt, nimmt in seinem vielgestaltigen, oft von Skandalen begleiteten Werk eine Ausnahmestellung ein: In radikaler Schlichtheit erzählen 13 Schauspielerinnen und Schauspieler – darunter Manfred Zapatka, Johan Leysen oder Maia Morgenstern – aus 11 Ländern Europas Geschichten aus ihrem Leben und ihrer Arbeit. Über drei Teile und sechs Stunden purem Erzählen entsteht so eine "politische Psychoanalyse" (La Libération) eines vielfach zerrissenen Kontinents, aber auch eine tiefsinnige Meditation über das Theater selbst. Während "The Civil Wars" die ideologische Unbehaustheit in Westeuropa vom Aufbruch nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg bis zum postmodernen Dschihadismus zum Thema macht und "The Dark Ages" auf die Kriege und Vertreibungen in Ex-Jugoslawien, Russland und Deutschland fokussiert, erzählen in "Empire" Schauspieler aus Griechenland, Syrien und Rumänien von künstlerischer und wahrer Tragik, von Folter, Flucht, Trauer, Tod und künstlerischer Wiedergeburt. Neben den Stücktexten der vielfach ausgezeichneten "Europa Trilogie" wird der Band komplettiert durch Gespräche und Essays, die die Hintergründe der Arbeit an diesem vielstimmigen Porträt Europas aufzeigen, in dem das "Allgemeinmenschliche ins Überzeitliche" ragt (Spiegel Online). Touring through Europe since the 2014 premiere of its first part "The Civil Wars", Milo Rau's "Europe Trilogy" takes up an exceptional position within its polymorphic and often scandal-embraced work: with radical simplicity, 13 actors and actresses from 11 different European countries narrate stories from their own lives and works – among which Manfred Zapatka, Johan Leysen and Maia Morgenstern. Throughout three parts and six hours of pure narrative thus emerges the "political psychoanalysis" (La Libération) of a frequently torn continent, but also a deep meditation about theatre itself.

Book Synopsis A European Anabasis by : Kenneth Estes
Download or read book A European Anabasis written by Kenneth Estes and published by Helion and Company. This book was released on 2015-01-19 with total page 211 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Kenneth Estes studies the 100,000 West Europeans who fought against Russia as volunteers for the Wehrmacht and Waffen-SS. A retired Marine Corps lieutenant colonel, Estes shows tremendous knowledge of combat and writes gripping battlefield prose. Two-thirds of the West European volunteers came from Spain and the Netherlands, yet Estes demonstrates wide range and covers Flemish, Walloon, French, Danish, and Norwegian combat units. Avoiding over-generalization, the author distinguishes carefully among the Danes and Flemings who fought competently with the SS-Wiking Division and later with Nordland, the courageous but poorly-armed Spanish, the ill-trained Dutch and French in Landstorm Nederland and SS-Charlemagne, and the Norwegians who after a first wave of enthusiasm held back altogether. Estes pulverizes the Nazi propaganda notion of a multinational European army defending 'Western civilization' against 'Bolshevism'. He shows that West Europeans, mainly of the urban working classes, volunteered from a mix of motives -adventure-seeking, ideology, hopes of personal advantage or material gain, a desire for better food, or a wish to escape a criminal record at home. He demonstrates that the best-performing foreign legions were trained and led by German officers and formed parts of larger SS units, and also that the Wehrmacht placed little value on foreign formations until its other manpower reserves ran out in 1944-45. This is a landmark work on a subject, which has been much written about, but rarely understood or described as perceptively as in the pages of this book.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Quo vadis Europa? And where are the independent performing arts heading? Driven by values such as tolerance and openness, what power do the independent performing arts possess in a climate dominated by Euroscepticism? Are those values essential for Europe and if so, how can they be atrengthened? These were the questions focussed on at the IETM's Plenary Meeting Munich (International Network for Contemporary Performing Arts) which is documented in this bi-lingual book. Central to the reflexions around the role of the performing arts in Europe were the topics "Post-colonialism", "Diversity" and "Visions for the Future". Including contributions by Ulrike Guérot, Robert Menasse and Kathrin Röggla. Quo vadis Europa? Wohin die freie Szene? Welche Tragkraft haben in einem von Euroskepsis geprägten Klima die unabhängigen darstellenden Künste, deren Arbeitsbegriff sich auf Werte wie Toleranz und Offenheit stützt? Sind diese Werte konstituierend für Europa, wie können sie gestärkt werden? Diese Fragen standen im Mittelpunkt des Treffens des International Network for Contemporary Performing Arts (IETM) in München, das in diesem zweisprachigen Buch dokumentiert wird. Im Zentrum der Reflexionen rund um die Rolle der darstellenden Kunst in Europa stehen Postkolonialismus, Diversität sowie Visionen für die Zukunft. Mit Beiträgen von Ulrike Guérot, Robert Menasse und Kathrin Röggla.
Book Synopsis The Enforcement of EU Law and Values by : András Jakab
Download or read book The Enforcement of EU Law and Values written by András Jakab and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2017-04-07 with total page 715 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is clear that the current crisis of the EU is not confined to the Eurozone and the EMU, evidenced in its inability to ensure the compliance of Member States to follow the principles and values underlying the integration project in Europe (including the protection of democracy, the Rule of Law, and human rights). This defiance has affected the Union profoundly, and in a multi-faceted assessment of this phenomenon, The Enforcement of EU Law and Values: Ensuring Member States' Compliance, dissects the essence of this crisis, examining its history and offering coping methods for the years to come. Defiance is not a new concept and this volume explores the richness of EU-level and national-level examples of historical defiance – the French Empty Chair policy–, the Luxembourg compromise, and the FPÖ crisis in Austria - and draws on the experience of the US legal system and that of the integration projects on other continents. Building on this legal-political context, the book focuses on the assessment of the adequacy of the enforcement mechanisms whilst learning from EU integration history. Structured in four parts, the volume studies (1) theoretical issues on defiance in the context of multi-layered legal orders, (2) EU mechanisms of acquis and values' enforcement, (3) comparative perspective on law-enforcement in multi-layered legal systems, and (4) case-studies of defiance in the EU.
Book Synopsis Roxolana in European Literature, History and Culture by : Galina I. Yermolenko
Download or read book Roxolana in European Literature, History and Culture written by Galina I. Yermolenko and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-04-08 with total page 361 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection is the first book-length scholarly study of the pervasiveness and significance of Roxolana in the European imagination. Roxolana, or "Hurrem Sultan," was a sixteenth-century Ukrainian woman who made an unprecedented career from harem slave and concubine to legal wife and advisor of the Ottoman Sultan Suleiman the Magnificent (1520-1566). Her influence on Ottoman affairs generated legends in many a European country. The essays gathered here represent an interdisciplinary survey of her legacy; the contributors view Roxolana as a transnational figure that reflected the shifting European attitudes towards "the Other," and they investigate her image in a wide variety of sources, ranging from early modern historical chronicles, dramas and travel writings, to twentieth-century historical novels and plays. Also included are six European source texts featuring Roxolana, here translated into modern English for the first time. Importantly, this collection examines Roxolana from both Western and Eastern European perspectives; source material is taken from England, Italy, France, Spain, Germany, Turkey, Poland, and Ukraine. The volume is an important contribution to the study of early modern transnationalism, cross-cultural exchange, and notions of identity, the Self, and the Other.
Book Synopsis The Euro Crisis and European Identities by : Charlotte Galpin
Download or read book The Euro Crisis and European Identities written by Charlotte Galpin and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-06-21 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book builds upon our knowledge of the far-reaching economic, political and social effects of the Euro crisis on the European Union by providing a unique study of European identities. In particular, it considers the impact on the construction of European identities in political and media discourse in Germany, Ireland and Poland—three countries with profoundly different experiences of the crisis and never before compared in a single study. Offering an original insight into the dynamics of identity change at moments of upheaval, the author argues that political and media actors in the early stages of the crisis drew on long-standing identities in order to make sense of the crisis in the public sphere. European identity discourses are thus resilient to change but become central to legitimising and contesting bailouts and further economic integration. As such, the author challenges the commonly held view that identities change dramatically at times of crisis but argues that this very resilience helps to understand the EU’s current divisions. The study of identity during the Euro crisis sheds important light on the prospects for European solidarity as well as on the future of the single currency as an identity-building project. The book will be of particular interest to students and scholars in the fields of EU politics, comparative European politics, and identity politics.

Book Synopsis The Social Crisis of Our Time by : Arthur E. Morgan
Download or read book The Social Crisis of Our Time written by Arthur E. Morgan and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-07-28 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Roepke's The Social Crisis of Our Time is a series of blasts against the malformations of economics: the Nazi and Communist forms of collectivism both come in for severe criticism. Roepke shows the process by which the Western liberal tradition itself makes possible these rebellions against open economic systems. The drive toward social welfare, full employment policies, and the state management of fiscal fluctuations all lead away from free societies no less than market economies.
