This article takes a new look at the novels of the Austrian Jewish writer Adolf Dessauer (1849-1916). Dessauer wrote an ironic chronicle of his contemporaries' world in turn-of-the-century Vienna. A banker by profession and an amateur novelist, he published two novels in his lifetime ("Götzendienst", in 1896, and "Großstadtjuden", in 1910), both taking place in the Habsburg capital, which was then undergoing a process of rapid economic and social change. Though his books are nowadays virtually forgotten, Dessauer was a very accurate chronicler of the customs of the social class which ascended with economic liberalism, and which became increasingly close to the empire's declining aristocracy, mimicking its tastes and habits.
As opposed to what happened in other European nations, the bourgeoisie in the Habsburg Empire never attempted to construct its own aesthetic and cultural repertoire, but consistently imitated the aristocratic patterns of its time. Dessauer makes a biting and ironical portrait of this class and its attempt at aristocratic appearances.
He also shows how Karl Lueger's Christian anti-Semitic party in Austria recruited its voters from the impoverished class of artisans, which had lost space as a consequence of the establishment of a new economic order. Lueger's political campaign was directed towards this growing class, and he identified the rise of liberal capitalism with Jews and Judaism.
In "Großstadtjuden" Dessauer looks at the same phenomena, but does so from a strictly Jewish point of view. His second novel portrays the reactions of a number of Jewish families from Vienna to rising anti-Semitism. This historical aspect of the Viennese Jewish community, which was Europe's numerically largest after Warsaw's, is a striking prelude to the history of European Jewry in the 20th.century, thus giving Dessauer's work an unexpected afterlife.
The article traces the development of Günter Grass's work with special emphasis on his reception in Germany and his being awarded the Nobel Prize. It shows how Grass employs traditional narrative strategies, particularly that of the fairy-tale, and how he represents the recent German past in figures of the unreal. By these means his texts are able to show the grotesqueness of historical reality in the 20th century.
A língua como pátria
(2006)
It is our aim to focus on certain aspects of the complex relationship between language – particularly German – and homeland/identity as seen in the work of a number of Jewish poets and authors. Initially we wish to point out this conflicting relationship in the work of Paul Celan and Rose Ausländer, two Jewish poets born in Romania. The examples of Viktor Klemperer and Ruth Klüger emphasize the complexity of this specific characteristic in the biography/work of German authors of Jewish origin. Elias Canetti, the Nobel Laureate born in Bulgaria, is a literary personality whose biography shows the importance of German culture influence in Eastern Europe at the beginning of the Twentieth Century: Canetti considers himself a German poet who belongs to the German-speaking cultural and literary world.
This article emphasizes that the central element of the satanic pact in Goethe’s Faust is the driving force of modernity: the negation of the present. In contrast to traditional interpretations of Faust as a positive figure and his "striving" as a virtue of modern man, the author argues that the destructive side of Faust’s restlessness should be examined. The effective counterpoints of the rhythm of modernity, as Goethe himself suggests in the play, are religion (in its broader unconventional sense, and classically inspired art, which enable thought to "stop" in the present moment.
Again, this issue is a bit late
(September instead of August) but I hope
the diverse and exciting contents will
make up for the delay. As per usual, the
Australian Arachnological Society is
grateful to all who contributed to this
issue! More excitingly, I already have
articles for the December issue. Stay
tuned for an update on the taxonomy of
Australian jumping spiders by Marek

Karl Lieblichs Lebengeschichte ist die eines weitgehend vergessenen, deutsch-jüdischen Dichters, der das nationalsozialistische Deutschland verließ, um ins brasilianische Exil zu gehen, und nach dem Krieg nach Deutschland zurückkehrte. Dieser Artikel setzt sich das Ziel, sein Leben nachzuzeichnen, seine literarischen und kulturphilosophischen Werke zu analysieren und in die Zeit einzubetten.
Mama lernt Deutsch : Ethnographie zu Migrantinnen in Sprachkursen an zwei Frankfurter Schulen
(2006)
"Mama lernt Deutsch" untersucht das gleichnamige Projekt des Amts für multikulturelle Angelegenheiten (AmkA) ethnographisch an zwei Schulen in Frankfurt am Main. Mit jener integrationspolitischen Bildungsmaßnahme wird Migrantenmüttern der Deutschunterricht parallel zum Unterricht ihrer Kinder in deren Schule zu günstigen Konditionen ermöglicht. Das Konzept sieht auch eine Zusammenarbeit mit der jeweiligen Schule über die räumliche Einbettung hinaus vor. Neben den Konzeptinhalten und Vorstellungen der Organisatoren und Träger des Projekts sowie denen der Kursleiterinnen und ihrer Praxis stehen vor allem die Migrantinnen selbst und ihr Sprachkursalltag im Fokus der Untersuchung. Die Autorin forschte in drei Deutschkursen an zwei verschiedenen Frankfurter Grundschulen über mehrere Monate lang.
„Une école pour la joie d´apprendre“ lautet das Motto, mit dem das GTZ-Entwicklungshilfeprojekt „Projet Education de Base en 5e Région (PEB)“ in der 5. Verwaltungsregion von Mali, Westafrika, seit 2005 im Auftrag der Consulting ECOEducation, für seine Inhalte wirbt. Während Deutschland um seine schulmüden Jugendlichen kämpft, gibt es andere Orte auf der Welt, wo der „Hunger nach Bildung“ groß ist und viel Engagement in großen Teilen der Bevölkerung hervorruft. „In die Schule gehen“ ist oftmals ein Privileg, das nicht allen Kindern zuteil wird. Das übergeordnete Ziel des Grundbildungs-Projektes, mit dem sich diese Arbeit beschäftigt, lautet: „Eine größere Anzahl von schulfähigen Kindern hat Zugang zu einer qualitativ verbesserten Grundbildung innerhalb der Interventionszonen des Projektes“ (Ministere de l´Education national, Données du Projet Education Base, 2002)....
This study outlines the formation of the category of "modal verb" within the grammaticography of German from the beginnings in the 16th century up to its "canonization" in the first half of the 20th century, also showing certain parallels to the treatment of modal verbs in the grammaticography of Portuguese. It also describes the influence German grammaticography had on the formation of this category in the grammaticography of Portuguese.
