This volume is a study of Fascism in its country of origin, Italy. It describes the impact of a new type of political movement on Italian government and society. The Fascist seizure of power did not ...begin or end with Mussolini's famous March on Rome in 1922; it was achieved rather by gradual subversion of the liberal order, which involved not only the destruction of all political opposition but also the creation of new institutions designed to control economic and cultural life. A classic work of wide-ranging scholarship, this book is here republished with a new preface by the author and will be essential reading for all students of Fascism and international history.
This is a highly original and revisionist analysis of British and American efforts to forge a stable Euro-Atlantic peace order between 1919 and the rise of Hitler. Patrick Cohrs argues that this ...order was not founded at Versailles but rather through the first 'real' peace settlements after World War I - the London reparations settlement of 1924 and the Locarno security pact of 1925. Crucially, both fostered Germany's integration into a fledgling transatlantic peace system, thus laying the only realistic foundations for European stability. What proved decisive was that key decision-makers drew lessons from the 'Great War' and Versailles' shortcomings. Yet Cohrs also re-appraises why they could not sustain the new order, master its gravest crisis - the Great Depression - and prevent Nazism's onslaught. Despite this ultimate failure, he concludes that the 'unfinished peace' of the 1920s prefigured the terms on which a more durable peace could be founded after 1945.
Der Erste Weltkrieg markiert einen Einschnitt, nach dem die literarischen Kräfteverhältnisse wieder neu ausgehandelt werden. Der Radikalisierung der literarischen Autonomie durch Avantgardebewegungen ...wie Dadaismus und Surrealismus stehen auf konservativer Seite nationalistische und katholische Gruppierungen gegenüber, deren Bedeutung im Streben nach der dominanten Position im literarischen Feld heute weitgehend vergessen ist. Hinzu kommen noch internationalistisch ausgerichtete Tendenzen sowie die Debatte um die Arbeiterliteratur. Die verschiedenen Positionen gruppieren sich um bestimmte literarische Zeitschriften, die das Spektrum der möglichen Stellungnahmen bündeln. Die Meinungsführerschaft beanspruchen zunächst die konservativen Kräfte, die die Literatur in ein ideologisches Bollwerk aus Nationalismus, Katholizismus und literarischer Tradition einbinden wollen, um sich von den als bedrohlich empfundenen Modernisierungsprozessen abzuschotten. Die Nachkriegsgeneration reagiert auf die gleiche Krisensituation mit einem Flottieren zwischen Katholizismus und literarischer Avantgarde. Erst im Laufe der zwanziger Jahre bilden sich mit der Gruppe um die »Nouvelle Revue française« und den Surrealisten die dominanten Pole heraus, von denen aus das literarische Feld zu seiner Autonomie zurückfindet. Schriftsteller wie André Gide oder Jean Cocteau erscheinen in ihren Implikationen in die verschiedenen Debatten in einem neuen Licht, bislang unterschätzte Autoren wie Jacques Rivière oder Philippe Soupault stehen im Schnittpunkt der Auseinandersetzungen, Jacques Maritains Rolle beim Eindringen des Katholizismus in die literarische Avantgarde schließlich blieb bislang nahezu völlig unbeachtet.
Established as a Jewish settlement in 1909 and dedicated a year later, Tel Aviv has grown over the last century to become Israel’s financial center and the country’s second largest city. This book ...examines a major period in the city’s establishment when Jewish architects moved from Europe, including Alexander Levy of Berlin, and attempted to establish a new style of Zionist urbanism in the years after World War I. The author explores the interplay of an ambitious architectural program and the pragmatic needs that drove its chaotic implementation during a period of dramatic population growth. He explores the intense debate among the Zionist leaders in Berlin in regard to future Jewish settlement in the land of Israel after World War I, and the difficulty in imposing a town plan and architectural style based on European concepts in an environment where they clashed with desires for Jewish revival and self-identity. While “modern” values advocated universality, Zionist ideas struggled with the conflict between the concept of “New Order” and traditional and historical motifs. As well as being the first detailed study of the formative period in Tel Aviv’s development, this book presents a valuable case study in nation-building and the history of Zionism. Meticulously researched, it is also illustrated with hundreds of plans and photographs that show how much of the fabric of early twentieth-century Tel Aviv persists in the modern city.
Samo onaj, koji umije da dovede u sklad tekovine prošlosti sa potrebama sadašnjice, kadar je doprinijeti napretku kulture. Spoznavati način postanka i razvitka takvoga sklada, odnosno nesklada, znači ...tragati za historijom kulture. U rješavanju te zadaće leži cilj svih kulturno-historijskih muzeja, među kakve spadaju i etnografski muzeji.
