Good and Evil After Auschwitz


Book Description

Good and Evil After Auschwitz is a compendium of the papers presented at an extraordinary symposium convened at the Vatican in 1998. It represents the views of more than thirty of the world's foremost theologians and religious thinkers on the inescapable moral question of our era, the problem of how, if at all, believers can reconcile their faith in a just and merciful God with the mass murder of millions of innocents during the Holocaust. Although the symposium took place in the Vatican, it gave voice to the thought and anguish of Jewish and Protestant thinkers as well as Roman Catholics. The participants came from many different countries and include many individuals well known in European intellectual and philosophical circles. The volume includes an interview with Marek Edelman, the last surviving leader of the Warsaw Ghetto uprising, and excerpts from the writings of Moshe Flinker, Etty Hillesum, and Dietrich Bonhoeffer. Good and Evil After Auschwitz is a powerful and thought-provoking book. The profoundly moving contributions by the symposium participants can serve as signposts to guide us in the effort to confront the awesome questions posed by the Holocaust, even as they remind us that no human answer can possibly be adequate to its enormity.

Sammelsurium


Book Description

A combined reader/workbook for second-year German, Sammelsurium focuses on cultural awareness while building competence in reading, writing, and speaking, and can be used with equal effectiveness as either a supplementary text or as the main reader in a course. Included are thirty-eight brief yet stimulating readings on a wide range of topics of special significance to German culture, each of which offers intermediate-level grammatical constructions and vocabulary. Many readings incorporate a verb-tense exercise, and each reading is accompanied by a separate set of vocabulary as well as an array of comprehension questions and communicative exercises. From the Brothers Grimm to German film--and from fashion to the nightlife of Berlin--Sammelsurium offers something for every taste, while strengthening skills needed by every student of German. Features: Literary texts spanning 400 years, profiles of iconic historical figures, and fascinating articles on contemporary German culture. In-depth coverage of Berlin as the capital and leading cultural center of Germany. Articles on the German passion for soccer and golf. Focus on major historical figures in the sciences (e.g., Röntgen, Koch, and Copernicus) as well as music (Ludwig van Beethoven and Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart). Innovative emphasis on the narrative past, aimed at both acquiring new verbs and using them in composition. Readings that challenge common cultural preconceptions, as well as offer unexpected insights into similarities and differences between German and American culture.

DEFA After East Germany


Book Description

Paints a complex portrait of East German film art and representation through examining eighteen key DEFA films following the fall of the Berlin Wall. In the late 1980s and early 1990s, East Germany's DEFA filmmakers had a brief window in which to critique GDR society on either side of the Wende, the sweeping political turn that surrounded the fall of the Berlin Wall andthe opening of the border. Building on the DEFA Film Library's retrospective Wende Flicks series and Indiana University's DEFA Project, this study examines the newly rediscovered filmic artifacts of this transitional cinema, introducing eighteen key films from 1988 to 1994 in essays by German scholars, film professionals, and cultural figures. Accompanying interviews and historical film reviews present a complex portrait of East German film art, itscommunist bloc influences, and its legacy for contemporary German film culture. The resulting anthology combines historical, autobiographical, cultural-political, and journalistic discourses to explore the tension between the hopes and frustrations these films express, the historical exigencies that overshadowed their production and reception, and the politics of their revival. Contributors: Skyler J. Arndt-Briggs, Peter Blank, Claudia Breger, Barton Byg, Knut Elstermann, Peter Kahane, Jennifer M. Kapczynski, Wolfgang Kohlhaase, Thomas Krüger, Helmut Morsbach, Benjamin Robinson, Katrin Schlösser and Frank Löprich, Nicholas Sveholm, Johannes von Moltke, Brigitta B. Wagner. Brigitta B. Wagner is an Alexander von Humboldt Fellow in Film Studies at the Freie Universität and in Time-Based Media at the Universität der Künste in Berlin.

Dieter Roth in Print


Book Description

Unique Editions collects a group of key artist's books and editions by the German-born, sometimes-Swiss, sometimes-Icelandic cult artist, Dieter Roth (1930 -1998). All of the books, graphic and multiple editions gathered here are one-of-a-kind works of art, for Roth eschewed traditional artistic procedures. (He regularly made use of non-art mediums such as chocolate, cheese, sausage and banana to create unique, fugitive works.) What distinguishes this publication is that at least two examples of each edition are shown together, demonstrating Roth's exploration of difference within structures of sameness. The majority of the works collected here were made by the artist in his studio, and they clarify the ways in which his hands-on, do-it-yourself approach challenged conventional genres. Roth influenced many artists over the last four decades of his life, inlcuding Martin Kippenberger and Jason Rhoades. These books and editions are arguably his most significant contributions to art history.
