Extractions: DEUTSCHLAND nach der Mauer A Webpage created by Donna Van Handle , Mount Holyoke College, for the NEH Summer Institute 1998 Participants 1998 Project Links 1996 Participants 1996 Projects Since November 9, 1989, when the Berlin Wall was opened, Germany has undergone profound changes. The dissolution of the Eastern Bloc and the subsequent unification of Germany have had far-reaching implications in many areas, ranging from the way Germans perceive themselves and their nation to Germany's role as a member of the European Community and to its international image. To explore the changing cultural landscape of the unified Germany, the NEH Summer Institutes focused on four critical debates currently in the forefront of German public discussion: Drawing on the rich academic and cultural resources of the Five College Area of western Massachusetts, each Institute provided twenty-five high school teachers the opportunity to work with scholars active in these debates and to study and discuss relevant materials produced in Germany: selected literary texts, film and video, news media, and the internet. Conducted entirely in German, the Institute allowed participants to immerse themselves in the German language for four weeks by speaking, hearing, reading, and writing German for over eight hours a day, five days a week. In addition to discussing and writing about their own responses to the lectures and readings, participants will devote part of each week to projects adapting current and authentic materials for classroom use, including the use of new technologies such as the internet. UMass graduate credit and Massachusetts Professional Development Points (PDP's) can be awarded. Previous participants can be contacted to share materials and information with colleagues in their areas.

http://mars.acnet.wnec.edu/~grempel/courses/germany/lectures/24weimar_culture.ht

Extractions: Cultural Life in the Republic A society which, even in its best years, was politically so insecure provided only the shallowest ground for the roots of any creative cultural life. There is, indeed, little evidence that the Weimar Republic constituted a distinctive cultural period. Attempts have been made, to be sure, to supply the scaffolding for a separate cultural history of Weimar, often with Thomas Mann as focus. But it seems hazardous, to say the least, to read portents of general significance into the differences between his prewar Buddenbrooks and his 1924 Magic Mountain. Mann was much too self-conscious, controlled, and deliberate a writer to be used as a mere cultural reflecting surface. Perhaps one should not say ''merely,'' because from the point of view of intellectual history (as opposed to the history of art, or of literature, or of philosophy) it is precisely the recognition or popularity of cultural products, not their creation, that is of special interest. In this respect, the gates were wide open after 1918. The sheer intellectual productivity of the Weimar period was enormous. It was not a question of a lifting of censorship, for the imperial government had been very liberal in cultural matters; but the chaos of defeat, revolution, and demobilization loosened cultural habits and liberated the curiosity of the new ''mass society.'' In this way, some of the works of the artistic and intellectual revolution that had preceded the political one suddenly found new audiences. The plural is important: there were all kinds of new audiences for all kinds of ideasideas that often contradicted each other and sometimes even themselves. There was a general consciousness of the end of an era; but the response could be idealistic, or nostalgic, or cynical, or all of them by turns.
