Träume sind eines der schönsten Geschenke, die das Leben für einen bereithält. In nur einer einzigen Nacht können viele Träume geträumt und Geschichten und Szenarien erlebt werden. Nicht selten sind diese Traum-Geschichten alles andere als gewöhnlich, im Gegenteil. Die Kombinationen aus den bizarrsten Dingen und Gegebenheiten erzeugen Geschichten, die, wenn auch nicht immer schlüssig, dennoch spannend sind und im Gedächtnis bleiben. Als Grundlage für die Geschichten dieses Buches dienten ebensolche Träume entweder als exakte Grundlage oder einfach nur als Anstoß zu einer Geschichte, die sich immer weiterentwickelte.

Wir Menschen sind nun einmal mangelhaft, unrein, befleckt... Die ersten Sünder, Marie und Yu, wissen das genau. Sie wurden belegt mit einem Fluch, der ihr Fortleben an ihre Sünde, den Baum des Lebens, bindet. Ein Geheimnis. Ein Schlüssel und ein Schloss. Eine Welt, in der alle Tiere erloschen sind. Im wohl frühsten Akt des Anti-Feminismus hat der unersättliche Parasit Mensch sich Mutter Erde untertan gemacht. Kinder höchster Qualität werden in Schulen gezüchtet wie Tiere...

This volume of essays is the result of the EU project -EHISTO-, which dealt with the mediation of history in popular history magazines and explored how history in the commercialised mass media can be used in history teaching in order to develop the media literacy and the transcultural competences of young people. The volume offers articles which for the first time address the phenomenon of popular history magazines in Europe and their mediating strategies in a foundational way. The articles are intended as introductory material for teachers and student teachers. The topic also offers an innovative approach in terms of making possible a European cross-country comparison, in which results based on qualitative and quantitative methods are presented, related to the content focus areas profiled in the national magazines."
Academic attention has focused on America's influence on European stage works, and yet dozens of operettas from Austria and Germany were produced on Broadway and in the West End, and their impact on the musical life of the early twentieth century is undeniable. In this ground breaking book, Derek B. Scott examines the cultural transfer of operetta from the German stage to Britain and the USA and offers a historical and critical survey of these operettas and their music. In the period 1900-1940, over sixty operettas were produced in the West End, and over seventy on Broadway. A study of these stage works is important for the light they shine on a variety of social topics of the period - from modernity and gender relations to new technology and new media - and these are investigated in the individual chapters. This book is also available as Open Access on Cambridge Core.

This book contributes to global history by examining the connected histories of German and United States colonial empires from the early nineteenth century to the Nazi era. It looks at multiple and multidirectional flows, transfers, and circulations of ideas, people, and practices as Germany and the US were embedded in, and created by, an interconnected world of empires. This relationship was not exceptional, but emblematic of the diverse entanglements that created colonial globality. Colonial entanglements between Germany and the United States took on many forms, but these shared and intersecting histories have been underanalyzed. Traditionally, Germany and the United States have been understood to have taken, respectively, an authoritarian and liberal path into modernity. But there is no neat dichotomy, as the contributors to this book illustrate. There are many more similarities than have previously been appreciated – and they are the result of multilayered entanglements made visible via conquest, settler societies, racialization, and rule of difference. Building on present historiographies of empires, colonialism, and globalization, this book introduces new analytical possibilities for examining these two relatively understudied empires alongside each other, as well as at their intersections.
