Jean-Marie Gustave Le Clézio proposes a perception of reality and of what lies beyond it. The rational, the irrational and the transrational are fundamentally linked to this author's writing. His writing is a philosophy of existence, with all its certainties and uncertainties. Jean-Marie Gustave Le Clézio's writing is marked by reflection and perpetual questioning. One might even say that it is writing at the frontiers of human thought in its relationship to knowledge and truth. The questions that pile up in Leclézio's novels bear witness to a kind of repeated anxiety that runs through the stories and the characters.
"By shedding light on an often-overlooked aspect of Fascism and Nazism, this book examines the ambitious plans for a new European order conceived by Italian intellectuals, historians, geographers, politicians, and even student representative of the Fascist University Groups (GUF). Through expert reconstruction of the debate on this envisaged order's development, Monica Fioravanzo opens a window into the theoretical arena that shaped relationships between German, Italy and the other Axis nations and provides insight into how the project was anticipated to unite the Fascist regime in Italy and the Nazi Reich. In the history of Fascism and Nazism, from 1932 through 1943, there is a largely unwritten chapter on the vast array of projects for a new European order put forward by Italian intellectuals, histories, geographers, politicians, and even student representative of the Fascist University Groups (GUF). Under the Axis' rule, little is known about how much the project would prospectively unite the Fascist regime and the Nazi Reich in the post-war order; and much less is know about Italy's plans. Fascist Europe reconstructs the debate on this envisaged order, a debate that unfolded alongside an evolving international framework surrounded by conflict. The diachronic examination from Monica Fioravanzo allows a window into the theoretical arena that contributed to the development of relationships between German, Italy and the other Axis nations"--
A picture book adaptation for older readers (8+ years) based on the extraordinary bestselling adult title THE HAPPIEST MAN ON EARTH. Life can be beautiful if you make it beautiful. It is up to you. Eddie lived with his family and adorable dachshund, Lulu, in the beautiful city of Leipzig in Germany. But one day, into the sunshine of his childhood crept a dark, heavy cloud. Not a rain cloud. Much worse than that. Adolf Hitler came to power. When Eddie was 18, he was sent to a concentration camp. The story is framed as a conversation between 101-year-old Eddie and his great grandchildren - who are bursting with questions about the life of their Pépé. The story of Eddie's life unfolds beautifully, sensitively, heartbreakingly through his words, and exquisite illustrations by Nathaniel Eckstrom.

This book aims to analyze the profiles of women built in the poetics of Chico Buarque, confronting myths and legends that projected the image of women over time, contributing to literary studies on the subject. Francisco Buarque de Hollanda, better known as Chico Buarque, is a musician, playwright and writer who became an icon in Brazilian culture, because when we talk about Brazilian popular music (MPB) in the decades of 1960 - 70 it is impossible not to make reference to Chico, due to his great contribution to the cultural scene of the country. Thus, the research aims to understand, through literary analysis, the meanings put in the songs of Chico Buarque, in which he thematizes the female figure, conflicting with the fact that the female is considered a social marginality, in various periods of history.
"As a unique and innovative addition to the scholarship on Nazi Germany, the Holocaust, and modern Polish history, this volume provides fresh analysis on the Nazi occupation of Poland. Through new questions and engaging untapped sources the leading historians who have contributed to this volume provide original scholarship to steer debates and expand the historiography surrounding Nazi racial and occupation policies, Polish and Jewish responses to them, persecution, police terror, resistance, and complicity"--

A collection of true short stories from WW2 - Perfect for children who love history!
During World War Two, in the concentration camp Terezin, a group of Jewish children and their devoted teacher planted and nurtured a smuggled-in sapling. Over time fewer and fewer children were left to care for the little tree, but those who remained kept lovingly sharing their water with it. When the war finally ended and the prisoners were freed, the sapling had grown into a strong five-foot-tall maple. Nearly eighty years later the tree's 600 descendants around the world are thriving, including one that was planted at New York City's Museum of Jewish Heritage in 2021. Students will continue to care for it for generations to come, and the world will remember the brave teacher and children who never gave up nurturing a brighter future.
The Underground Archive is the first attempt to document the Shoah from the perspective of those affected and directly during the events.Before World War II, Poland was home to 3.3 million Jews, and Warsaw was the cultural, religious and political center of this diverse community. A year after the German war of aggression began, the Nazis forced the Jewish population into a sealed-off part of the city. The historian Emanuel Ringelblum then stimulated an unprecedented project: a group working in secret, documenting the daily life of the ghetto under the code name Oneg Shabbat (Joy of Shabbat). Cut off from the world, it collected and produced a wealth of material. With the beginning of the systematic murder of Polish Jews, they unwillingly became chroniclers of the Shoah, which they themselves, with few exceptions, did not survive. After the war, a large part of the archive, buried in tin crates and milk cans, was recovered from under the ruins of the ghetto. With its approximately 35,000 preserved pages, it is now a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The volume is published on the occasion of the exhibition of the same name, which the NS Documentation Center Munich will open in cooperation with the Jewish Historical Institute Warsaw in June 2023.
Über die NS-Prozesse in Osteuropa in den 1960er Jahren und den Stellenwert des Holocaust darinEtwa 15 Jahre nach Kriegsende kam es in vielen Staaten des Ostblocks zu einer zweiten Welle von Gerichtsverfahren gegen NS-Verbrecher, die anderen Logiken folgte als die Prozesse unmittelbar nach Kriegsende. Auf dem Höhepunkt des Kalten Krieges in den 1960er Jahren verpflichteten die Prozesse einerseits zu einer Zusammenarbeit zwischen Ost und West, andererseits waren sie bestimmt durch die Abwehrhaltung gegenüber dem jeweiligen Gegner im Systemkonflikt. Innerhalb des Ostblocks sollte durch ein abgestimmtes Vorgehen auf der internationalen Bühne Einigkeit demonstriert werden, gleichzeitig führten nationale Interessen zu je eigenen Wegen in der Strafverfolgung. Die in diesem Band zusammengetragenen Aufsätze widmen sich der Geschichte der Strafprozesse zu nationalsozialistischen Verbrechen in Ungarn, der DDR, Polen, der Tschechoslowakei und der Sowjetunion nach der »Tauwetterphase« und fragen nach den Voraussetzungen und Eigenheiten dieser Verfahren. Welche Regeln galten für die Prozesse? Welche Ziele verfolgten sie? Und nicht zuletzt: Welchen Stellenwert hatte der Holocaust bei der Aufklärung der Verbrechen?Der Band erscheint vollständig in englischer Sprache.__________On the Nazi trials in Eastern Europe in the 1960s and the place of the Holocaust in them.About 15 years after the end of the war, a second wave of trials against Nazi criminals occurred in many Eastern Bloc states, which followed a different logic than the ones immediately after the war. At the height of the Cold War in the 1960s, the trials on the one hand obliged cooperation between East and West, on the other hand they were determined by the defensive attitude towards the respective opponent in the system conflict. Within the Eastern bloc, unity was to be demonstrated through a coordinated approach on the international stage, while at the same time national interests led to their own paths in criminal prosecution. The essays collected in this volume are devoted to the history of criminal trials on National Socialist crimes in Hungary, the GDR, Poland, Czechoslovakia and the Soviet Union after the "thaw" and ask about the preconditions and peculiarities of these proceedings. What rules applied to the trials? What goals did they pursue? And last but not least: What significance did the Holocaust have in the clarification of the crimes?
Today, technology invades man's life, often to the point of depriving him of happiness, which justifies the need of the 21st century man for a refuge where he can find his lost happiness. Among these writers, Michel Tournier in Vendredi ou les limbes du Pacifique pushes this fugitive man to an island where he not only finds life, but also begins the search for himself. Thus, as the story progresses, the physical journey takes on another form, that of the inner journey. At the same time, Jean-Marie Gustave Le Clézio treats the same theme in Désert from his own point of view. What attracts attention in these two works is the fact that the journey is first physical, before turning into an inner quest. Indeed, the characters leave their homes and it is through this physical displacement that their communication with the outside world evolves.
IN THE WORLD Some countries in Latin America and Africa, two centuries and fifty years after their independence respectively, have not yet managed to solve economic underdevelopment. This is in spite of the theories, models, economic solutions available or the abundant presence of scholars and experts in the field. Our research has uncovered the main phenomenon that has always prevented and complicated the sustainable resolution of problems in nations, while at the same time transmitting the problems from generation to generation. Our research has just discovered the main phenomenon that prevents even the great scholars and experts from discovering the root causes that produce most of the problem. Now with this discovery, the world will easily solve its public problems. The results of our research provide a new approach to sustainable problem solving. TO THE DRC The results of our research bring the only adequate solution that is missing not only today but since the time of Mobutu to solve durably the socio-political crisis of the DRC.
Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2023 im Fachbereich Philosophie - Philosophie des 20. Jahrhunderts, Note: 2,0, , Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Kann es in abweichenden, illegalen und nicht standesgemäßen Verhalten, sogar positive Elemente geben? Was bedeutet dies nun für eine Organisation? Laut Niklas Luhmann gibt es im Hintergrund formeller Organisationen auch informelle Organisationen. Daher möchte ich mit Niklas Luhmann der Frage nachgehen, ob Illegalität benutzt wird und somit auf sein Konzept der "brauchbaren Illegalität" eingehen.Zu Beginn wird Luhmanns Systemtheorie anhand formaler Organisationen als Ausgangspunkt kurz vorgestellt und erläutert. Den wichtigsten Teil stellt dann die Interpretation der "brauchbaren Illegalität" dar. Im Fokus steht, was man aus dem Illegalen nutzen kann, wann es "nützlich" wird und welche Abläufe dahinter stecken. Wann ist Abweichung schädlich und wann ist sie vorteilhaft für die Organisation? Wer entscheidet darüber, und warum missachten Vorgesetzte Regeln und Normen und erklären sich? Unter welchen Umständen entsteht diese Illegalität überhaupt? Bevor die Arbeit schließlich mit einer Zusammenfassung abschließt, soll der Begriff der "brauchbaren Illegalität" auf ein praktisches Beispiel angewendet werden. Rückblickend hat vermutlich jeder oder jede einmal gegen etablierte Normen gehandelt, beispielsweise wenn er oder sie sich als Kind traute, einen Lutscher zu stehlen, in der Straßenbahn kein Ticket zu kaufen oder über eine rote Ampel gelaufen ist. Das sind natürlich "Kleinigkeiten", aber sie machen deutlich, dass Eskapismus ein Teil unseres Lebens ist. Werden nun Unternehmen, Institutionen, Verbänden, Behörden und einer Vielzahl weiterer Organisationsformen betrachtet, so kann festgestellt werden, dass diese durch zahlreiche Verordnungen, Richtlinien und einen hohen Formalisierungsgrad gekennzeichnet sind. Regeln, Vorschriften und Standards werden kodifiziert und es wird erhofft, dass das niemand diesen Normen abweicht. Ist es überhaupt möglich Abschweifungen zu verhindern? Noch wichtiger: Müssen alle informellen Dinge blockiert werden?
Von Erich Kästner bis zum Widerstand gegen die Nazis. Walter Triers Rolle in der britischen Propaganda. Vom britischen Informationsministerium bekam Walter Trier den Auftrag, ein Flugblatt zu der bedeutungsvollen Geste zu gestalten. Er tat es meisterhaft in Form eines Leporellos. Auf der Vorderseite sieht man den Diktator vor einem blauen Himmel mit großem V in Form von Kondensstreifen eines britischen Fliegers. Auf der Rückseite wird Hitler in Posen mit dem V konfrontiert, bis er sich schließlich an einem Balken in V-Form aufhängt. Dieser Band, der die Reproduktion des Original-Flugblatts enthält, beschäftigt sich eingehend mit dem Widerstand Walter Triers gegen die Nazis. In einem erhellenden Text von Philip Oltermann wird detailliert die Entstehungsgeschichte der britischen Propaganda erklärt sowie die Rolle des Kästner-Illustrators Walter Trier darin. Aus dem großen Fundus des Walter-Trier-Archivs speisen sich die zahreichen schaurig-satirischen Zeichnungen Triers, die seinen Widerstand gegen die Deutschen belegen. Widerstand bis zum Sieg über die Nazis, dafür stand das V. Nachdem Nazideutschland Belgien besetzt hatte, war der frühere Justizminister mit der Regierung ins Exil geflohen. In London moderierte er am 14. Januar 1941 eine denkwürdige Sendung bei Radio Belgique, dem französischsprachigen Sender der BBC. Dort schlug er seinen Landsleuten einen gemeinsamen Code vor - den Buchstaben V, »weil V der Anfangsbuchstabe der Worte >Victoire< (Sieg) im Französischen und >Vrijheid< im Flämisch ist: zwei Dinge, die zusammengehören, da Wallonen und Flamen im Moment Hand in Hand marschieren, zwei Dinge, die das eine aus dem anderen ergeben, der Sieg, der uns unsere Freiheit zurückgibt, der Sieg unserer guten Freunde, der Engländer. Ihr Wort für Sieg beginnt ebenfalls mit V«, erklärte der liberale Politiker. »Wie Sie sehen, alles rundherum passt.« Vom britischen Informationsministerium bekam Walter Trier den Auftrag, ein Flugblatt zu der bedeutungsvollen Geste zu gestalten. Er tat es meisterhaft in Form eines Leporellos. Auf der Vorderseite sieht man den Diktator vor einem blauen Himmel mit großem V in Form von Kondensstreifen eines britischen Fliegers. Auf der Rückseite wird Hitler in Posen mit dem V konfrontiert, bis er sich schließlich an einem Balken in V-Form aufhängt. Unser Band enthält zwei erklärende Texte: vom deutsch-englischen Guardian-Korrespondenten Philip Oltermann und der Trier-Expertin Antje M. Warthorst. Mit zahlreichen satirischen Illustrationen von Walter Trier gegen Adolf Hitler und die Nazis. Beigelegt ist die Reproduktion des Original-Leporellos.
During World War II a young German girl, who has been indoctrinated into the Hitler Youth, travels to occupied Amsterdam to rejoin her parents then comes to realize the truth about the war. New introduction by the author's son, John Tepper Marlin."So, you're falsifying papers?" said Janna. "You belong to the Dutch Resistance." She looked at him curiously.The boy shrugged his shoulders. "You could call it that. I'm just helping the van Arkels rescue innocent people from certain death. They need these identification papers and food cards to keep alive. If you betray me, all these people will either starve or be forced to give themselves up to be sent to the gas chambers of a concentration camp.""Gas chambers?" Janna looked at the boy with horror. "You mean ... they are killed?"The book looked sternly at her. "Do you think," he said, "that Germany is sending Jews to a nice vacation spa, or to pretty villages with geraniums in the windows? That's what they told us at first, though in Holland we never believed it."This book is based on a true story, and even though it deals with some hard issues brought about by the German occupation of Amsterdam, it provides an opportunity to discuss World War II from a unique perspective.
A writer of passion and death, Duras can also be described as a writer of the intimate. As shown in the stories of the sixties, Moderato Cantabile, Ten and a half hours of the evening in summer, Hiroshima my love and The Ravishment of Lol V. Stein, the silence around which the texts are built, the mystery that surrounds the female characters and their feelings, are the sign of an "intimate" experience kept secret, internalized, never quite expressed. In these works, Duras tirelessly tries to penetrate the intimacy of the heroines by seeking to uncover and understand their experiences, this painful and personal history that remains buried. Duras will thus only write and rewrite the traumatic event lived by her heroines. The lack and the absence, omnipresent motives also associated with the female characters, turn out to echo an impossible mourning. While this process of rewriting is indicative of a quest for a solution, Duras seems far from having resolved the heroines' immemorial past, since absence, love and death are directly or indirectly linked to childhood, to the mother and to the death of the younger brother.
"As the United States enters World War II, seventeen-year-old Eleanor wants to do something to help her Jewish relatives in Poland, so she puts her brilliant math skills to work for the US army to fine-tune a top-secret weapon that will help defeat the enemy"--
Twelve-year-old Lidia's life is forever changed by the Nazi occupation of Poland, leading her to join the resistance movement to fight against the Nazis and aid Jewish people in the Warsaw Ghetto during WWII.
""You are to report to Station X at Bletchley Park, Buckinghamshire, in four days time....That is all you need to know." This was the terse telegram hundreds of young women throughout the British Isles received in the spring of 1941, as World War II raged. As they arrived at Station X, a sprawling mansion in a state of disrepair surrounded by Spartan-looking huts with little chimneys coughing out thick smoke-these young people had no idea what kind of work they were stepping into. Who had recommended them? Why had they been chosen? Most would never learn all the answers to these questions. Bletchley Park was a well-kept secret during World War II, operating under the code name Station X. The critical work of code-cracking Nazi missives that went on behind its closed doors could determine a victory or loss against Hitler's army. Amidst the brilliant cryptographers, flamboyant debutantes, and absent-minded professors working there, it was teenaged girls who kept Station X running. Some could do advanced math, while others spoke a second language. They ran the unwieldy bombe machines, made sense of wireless sound waves, and sorted the decoded messages. They were expected to excel in their fields and most importantly: know how to keep a secret"--

Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2021 im Fachbereich Philosophie - Philosophie des 20. Jahrhunderts, Note: 2,0, Universität Koblenz-Landau, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Diese Hausarbeit soll nach Auseinandersetzung mit Schütz Lebenswelt als Grundlage für eine verstehende Soziologie Ähnlichkeiten in der Konzeption von Habitus und Strukturen der Lebenswelt anschneiden. Ich hoffe hier ansatzweise aufzeigen zu können, dass es von höchster wissenschaftlicher Relevanz ist, die Frage nach dem, was Wirklichkeit bedeutet vor der Frage nach der Genese und Form von Konflikten zu stellen."Die moderne Heirat von Phänomenologie und Soziologie [...] geht praktisch ausnahmslos auf jenen Gelehrten zurück, der die Husserl'schen Untersuchungen unmittelbar für die Methodologie der Sozialwissenschaften fruchtbar zu machen verstand: Alfred Schütz." Thomas Eberle macht in diesem Ausspruch deutlich, dass Alfred Schütz für die moderne Soziologie essenziell ist. Trotz dieser scheinbar monumentalen Bedeutung von Alfred Schütz ist dieser weniger rezipiert: Auch einen Rekurs auf die konflikttheoretischen Überlegungen von Alfred Schütz findet sich in der wissenschaftlichen Auseinandersetzung mit seinen Werken recht wenig. Prominenter Vertreter einer (vergleichsweise normativen Stoßrichtung) einer Konflikttheorie der heute wie zu Lebzeiten unermüdlich von Philosophen, Ethnologen, Pädagogen, Sozialwissenschaftlern und Politologen rezipiert wird, ist hingegen Pierre Bourdieu.
Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2023 im Fachbereich Philosophie - Philosophie des 20. Jahrhunderts, Note: 1,0, Universität zu Köln (Philosophisches Seminar), Veranstaltung: Philosophie der Psychoanalyse, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Sigmund Freud beeinflusste viele Denker seiner Zeit. So beispielsweise auch Goethe, der sich mit Freuds Überlegungen zum Todestrieb gedanklich beschäftigte. Freud stellte aber vor allem die Psychoanalytiker und Philosophen mit seinem Werk "Jenseits des Lustprinzips" von 1920 vor neue metapsychologische Herausforderungen. In dieser Hausarbeit werden seine Theorien zum Lustprinzip und Todestrieb genauer untersucht. Zunächst werden allgemeine Anmerkungen zu Freud und seinem Werk angegeben, sodass es in seiner Entstehungsgeschichte und hinsichtlich des philosophischen Gehalts eingeordnet werden kann. Hier werden bereits die grundlegenden Begriffe erklärt und in ihren inhaltlichen Zusammenhang gebracht. Es wird ein kurzer inhaltlicher Umriss des Werks und seiner einzelnen Analyseschritte vorangestellt, um ein grundsätzliches Verständnis zu vermitteln. Im Anschluss werden die einzelnen Elemente seiner Abhandlung genauer untersucht und in eine eigenständige Analyse eingebettet. Hierzu wird zunächst auf das Lustprinzip selbst eingegangen und anschließend die Quellen der Unlust genauer untersucht. Darauf folgend wird auf die Grundsätze des Wiederholungszwanges eingegangen und mit den von Freud angeführten Beispielen erklärt. Wie Freud dann den Sprung vom Wiederholungszwang hin zu einem Todeszwang zu erklären versucht, benötigt zunächst ein allgemeines Verständnis zum Aufbau des psychischen Apparates. Dementsprechend werden einige der hierzu von Freud angenommenen Grundlagen im Kapitel ¿zwischen Trauma und Trieb¿ angeführt. Mithilfe dessen stelle ich im Anschluss einige Argumentationsmuster Freuds bezüglich des Todestriebs heraus. Aufgrund des geringen Umfangs dieser Hausarbeit werde ich mich auf die Phänomene des zwanghaften Wiederholens unlustvoller Erlebnisse, der Bedeutsamkeit des Sexualtriebs und der biologisch argumentierten Herangehensweise Freuds widmen. Seinen metapsychischen Sprung zum Unterschied zwischen Eros und Thanos werde ich an dieser Stelle zur Vereinfachung auslassen. In der Schlussbetrachtung werden einige Gegenargumente für Freuds Todestriebhypothese und eine kritische Reflexion angeführt. Hierbei werden einige grundlegende Forschungsmeinungen der Kritiker miteinbezogen und ein eigener Standpunkt entwickelt.
Sociologists and writers, all agreed on a common point of view: the family has changed, and even more so it is in crisis. I wanted to do a research on Hervé Bazin's novel, Qui j'ose aimer, because in his work, man is celebrated and the family is the central theme of all his novels. I will try to see how this family mutation in the broad sense is transposed in the novel and influences the relationships between all the members of the family. What I also found very interesting was the fact that the novel was about a matriarchal family (recomposed towards the end) and this phenomenon is similar to that of today where many women live alone or live only with their children, the traditional figure of the father not being so important anymore. The novel also deals with this problem of marriage, which is no longer defined as an institutional logic, an inescapable social obligation (as in the past), but rather as an emotional logic ("we love each other, we marry"). The traditional model, based on marriage, has been shattered.
