Free Download Carrie Collenberg-González, "Moving Frames: Photographs in German Cinema "
English | ISBN: 1800733763 | 2022 | 258 pages | PDF | 30 MB
As the building blocks of moving pictures, photographs have played an integral role in cinema since the dawn of the medium―a relationship that has grown more complexly connected even as the underlying technologies continue to evolve. Moving Frames explores the use of photographs in German films from Expressionism to the Berlin School, addressing the formal and narrative roles that photographs play as well as the cultural and historical contexts out of which these films emerged. Looking beyond and within the canon, the editors gather stimulating new insights into the politics of surveillance, resistance, representation, and collective memory functioning through photographic rupture and affect in German cinema.

Intercultural Transfer of Management Practices of German MNC to Brazil The Interplay of Translation and Recontextualization


Free Download Madeleine Bausch, "Intercultural Transfer of Management Practices of German MNC to Brazil: The Interplay of Translation and Recontextualization"
English | 2022 | ISBN: 3658380551 | PDF | pages: 411 | 2.7 mb
Multinational companies transfer managerial practices such as quality management globally. Studies from different perspectives have examined cultural, institutional, and organizational challenges in practice transfer, however, little is known about the micro-processes of intercultural transfer, especially in complex cultural settings as Brazil. Integrating the recontextualization perspective and Scandinavian institutionalist transfer-as-translation approach, this book explores micro-processes of transfer from German MNC to Brazilian subsidiaries from a multiple cultures perspective. Findings show the complementary nature of micro-processes of translation and recontextualization, embedding them into a process model of four stages: Preparation, translation, recontextualization, and institutionalization. Intercultural transfer can be considered an iterative and multi-level process in which practices diffuse from individuals, to teams, to the organization. The book contributes to international management by cross-fertilizing the two approaches, by highlighting cultural and institutional particularities of the Brazilian context using a culturally sensitive methodology, and by showing the transformative power of managerial practices on organizations and ecosystems.

Beyond Alterity German Encounters with Modern East Asia


Free Download Qinna Shen, "Beyond Alterity: German Encounters with Modern East Asia "
English | ISBN: 1782383603 | 2014 | 316 pages | PDF | 5 MB
With the economic and political rise of East Asia in the second half of the twentieth century, many Western countries have re-evaluated their links to their Eastern counterparts. Thus, in recent years, Asian German Studies has emerged as a promising branch within interdisciplinary German Studies. This collection of essays examines German-language cultural production pertaining to modern China and Japan, and explicitly challenges orientalist notions by proposing a conception of East and West not as opposites, but as complementary elements of global culture, thereby urging a move beyond national paradigms in cultural studies. Essays focus on the mid-century German-Japanese alliance, Chinese-German Leftist collaborations, global capitalism, travel, identity, and cultural hybridity. The authors include historians and scholars of film and literature, and employ a wide array of approaches from postcolonial, globalization, media, and gender studies. The collection sheds new light on a complex and ambivalentset of international relationships, while also testifying to the potential of Asian German Studies.

The Imperial German Army Between Kaiser and King Monarchy, Nation-Building, and War, 1866-1918


Free Download The Imperial German Army Between Kaiser and King: Monarchy, Nation-Building, and War, 1866-1918 by Gavin Wiens
English | March 29, 2023 | ISBN: 3031228626 | 330 pages | MOBI | 5.53 Mb
This book provides a reappraisal of Germany’s military between the mid-nineteenth century and the end of the First World War. At its core is the following question: how ‘German’ was the imperial German army? This army, which emerged from the Wars of Unification in 1871, has commonly been seen as the ‘school of the nation’. After all – so this argument goes – tens of thousands of young men passed through its ranks each year, with conscripts undergoing an intense program of patriotic education and returning to civilian life as fervent German nationalists and ardent supporters of the German emperor, or Kaiser. This book reexamines this assumption. It does not deny that devotion to the Fatherland and loyalty to the Kaiser were widespread among German soldiers in the decades following unification. It nevertheless shows that the imperial German army was far less homogenous and far more faction-ridden than has hitherto been acknowledged.
