The American Musical

A Literary Study within the Context of American Drama and American Theater with References to Selected American Musicals by Richard Rodgers, Oscar Hammerstein II, Arthur Laurents, Leonard Bernstein, Stephen Sondheim, and James Lapine
Although almost neglected in research and studies on American Literature, the American Musical is certainly the most interesting and the most popular genre of American theater and drama. It has been influenced by the necessities of a self-funding commercial theater system of a democratic country. The fact that it has developed in a country of democracy means that it should be a genre for everyone: the intellectual and the common man. Broadway has provided all these. In his study, Marc Bauch analyzes three American Musicals, namely South Pacific (1949) by Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein, West Side Story (1957) by Leonard Bernstein, Arthu...

Der "American Dream" in US-Literatur und -Film der Gegenwart

Paul Auster, John Irving und der Film Forrest Gump
Wie tief ist der „American Dream“ heute noch in der amerikanischen Literatur verwurzelt und welche unterschiedlichen Ausprägungen kann er haben? Die Romane „Mond über Manhattan“ von Paul Auster, „Die vierte Hand“ von John Irving und Robert Zemeckis’ Filmadaption des Romans „Forrest Gump“ von Winston Groom geben aufschlussreiche Antworten auf diese Frage. Janina Glatz und Bernadette Henke gelingt es anhand ihres intermedialen Ansatzes, das Thema des „American Dream“ originell und kreativ zu beleuchten. Eigene Umfragen der Autorinnen mit interessanten Ergebnissen, zahlreiche Abbildungen und Schaubilder sowie ein Vergleich der Werke runden das B...

Modernist Visions in Taos

Mabel Dodge Luhan and the Artists of the Stieglitz Circle
Not long after her arrival in Taos, New Mexico, in 1917, the writer and celebrated salon hostess Mabel Dodge Luhan began to lure some of the most talented artists, writers and thinkers of her day to her new home. Soon Taos served as a counter center of American Modernism that was visited, among others, by the painters Georgia O’Keeffe, Marsden Hartley, John Marin, and Andrew Dasburg, the photographers Ansel Adams and Paul Strand, and the writers D.H. Lawrence, Thornton Wilder, Mary Austin and Willa Cather. All of those artists responded strongly to New Mexico’s spectacular natural and cultural environment and some of them even decided to sett...

Neither Foe nor Friend

The American Image of Russia in Transition
For almost half a century, the Iron Curtain had separated Americans and Russians by barriers of misunderstanding, suspicion and alienation. The accession of Mikhail Gorbachev to power in the mid-1980s signalled the beginning of a revolutionary stage in American-Soviet relations. In the course of the following two decades Americans and Russians would interact to an extent never anticipated and come to call each other partners, or even friends. The word friendship, however, is often used superficially. This book provides a more profound answer to the question of how, from the American perspective, the image of, and the relationship to, Russia h...

Public Opinion in Politics

Hegel`s Interpretation in his Philosophy of Right 1821 in Comparism with the Anglo-American Political Theory and History of Ideas
In Anglo-American political theory, the constitutional law is determined by the people. A political constitutional law whose validity depends on the people was unknown in the German world in earlier times. In those days, the Germans understood the state as a machine. This 18th century German metaphor of the state as a machine was foreign both to the Anglo-American as well as to the French political concept. Hegel tried to look at this foreign concept in his Philosophy of Right of 1821. This book is not an attempt, therefore, to discuss Hegel’s entire political theories, but it wants to treat the issues of public opinion in politics in a syste...

"Amerika ist immer woanders"

Die Rezeption des American Dream in Italien
Die vorliegende Arbeit präzisiert die Einflüsse der Lost Generation auf die Prosa Paveses und Vittorinis. Entscheidend hierbei ist die Kritik der Lost Generation am Mythos des American Dream. Denn die traumatischen Erfahrungen auf den europäischen Schlachtfeldern und der Red Decade hatten bewiesen, dass Amerika seinen Idealen untreu geworden war. Die Gesellschaft wurde von einem offensichtlichen Sozialdarwinismus beherrscht. Die offen geäußerte Kritik der Amerikaner an ihrer Gesellschaft bildete für Pavese und Vittorini einen intellektuellen Anziehungspunkt auf der Suche nach einer zum Faschismus alternativen Gesellschaftsutopie. Im direkte...

Im Zeichen des Marktes

Culture Jamming, Kommunikationsguerilla und subkultureller Protest gegen die Logo-Welt der Konsumgesellschaft
Die Ökonomisierung der Gesellschaft schreitet voran. Alle Bereiche menschlichen Zusammenlebens werden zur Ware. Dabei räumen selbst Kritiker unfreiwillig das Feld, indem sie die Macht, Bedeutungen zu produzieren, außer Acht lassen. Denn wer die Zeichenebene, die Bilder und Symbole des Alltags, beherrscht, bestimmt letztendlich das vorherrschende Weltbild. Die Zeichen des Konsumkapitalismus sind in der „Logokultur“ überall zu finden – vor allem als Marken, durch die nicht mehr nur Produkte, sondern auch Orte, Institutionen, Personen und gar Emotionen zu käuflichen Konsumartikeln transformiert werden.
Kommunikationswissenschaftlich beleuchtet ...

Recent Westerns

Deconstruction and Nostalgia in Contemporary Western Film
Shanghai Noon, Open Range, Cold Mountain, The Missing, The Proposition, Brokeback Mountain, Deadwood, Broken Trail, 3:10 to Yuma, The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford, No Country for Old Men... These recent films, all produced during the last ten years were either commercial or critical successes or both. Involving such big names as Jackie Chan, Nicole Kidman, Tommy Lee Jones, Cate Blanchett, Russel Crowe, and Brad Pitt, they are all in some way or the other connected to the oldest film genre of all: the Western. Does this prove that the Western is still not dead yet, that there is a life after Kevin Costner's Dances ...

‘The bastards are making it up!’ –

Forms of New Journalism in Norman Mailer’s The Armies of the Night and Truman Capote’s In Cold Blood
Journalism is commonly thought of as objective, neutral, unbiased. However, there was a time when these notions were heavily contested – even by reporters themselves. The American 1950s and 1960s were earth-shattering decades in every major respect: socially, politically, and culturally. Changes in these fields shook the nation and triggered events that to many people were extreme to the point they seemed unreal. Desperate times called for desperate measures: Soon, journalists traded their signature style of reporting for a style that read like fiction. They increasingly acknowledged those bizarre times by ‘fictionalizing’ their works, even p...
