Does it follow simply from being born there? Is it the result of a language shared with neighbours or attachment to a familiar landscape? Perhaps it is a piece of music, or a painting, or even a travelogue that captures the essence of home. And what about the sense of belonging that inspires nationalist or local autonomy movements? Each of these can be a marker of identity, but all are ambiguous. Where you were born has a different meaning if, like so many modern Germans, you have moved on and now live elsewhere. Representing the ?national interest? in parliament becomes more difficult when voters demand attention to local and regional issues or when ethnic tensions erupt. In all these situations the landscape of ?home? takes on a more elusive meaning.Localism, Landscape, and the Ambiguities of Place is about the German nation state and the German-speaking lands beyond it, from the 1860s to the 1930s. The authors explore a wide range of subjects: music and art, elections and political festivities, local landscape and nature conservation, tourism and language struggles in the family and the school. Yet they share an interest in the ambiguities of German identity in an age of extraordinarily rapid socio-economic change. These essays do not assume the primacy of national allegiance. Instead, by using the ?sense of place? as a prism to look at German identity in new ways, they examine a sense of ?Germanness? that was neither self-evident nor unchanging.German and European studies.LandscapesSymbolic aspectsGermanyGermany19th centuryGermanyCivilization20th centuryElectronic books.LandscapesSymbolic aspects943.07NK 5000rvkBlackbourn DavidRetallack JamesMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910456376703321Localism, landscape, and the ambiguities of place2177405UNINA03050nam 2200625Ia 450 991078695730332120230801230651.01-4529-4784-80-8166-8175-9(CKB)2670000000359242(EBL)1204674(SSID)ssj0000889731(PQKBManifestationID)11452903(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000889731(PQKBWorkID)10877459(PQKB)10006834(StDuBDS)EDZ0001177373(MiAaPQ)EBC1204674(OCoLC)846494695(MdBmJHUP)muse30001(Au-PeEL)EBL1204674(CaPaEBR)ebr10716977(CaONFJC)MIL522858(EXLCZ)99267000000035924220120726d2012 ub 0engur|n|---|||||txtccrAntebellum at sea[electronic resource] maritime fantasies in nineteenth-century America /Jason BergerMinneapolis University of Minnesota Pressc20121 online resource (328 p.)Description based upon print version of record.0-8166-7706-9 Includes bibliographical references and index.Introduction: Bewitching sea -- Fantasies of the common sailor; or, enjoying the knowing Jack Tar -- Tarrying with the national: fantasizing the subject of state -- Tattoos in Typee: rethinking Melville's "cultural grotesque" -- Melville's porno-tropics: re-sexuating pacific encounters -- The crater and the master's reign: Cooper's "floating imperium" -- The sublime abject of democracy: Melville's "floating imperium" -- Epilogue: Incomplete sea.In the antebellum years, the Western world's symbolic realities were expanded and challenged as merchant, military, and scientific activity moved into Pacific and Arctic waters. In Antebellum at Sea, Jason Berger explores the roles that early nineteenth-century maritime narratives played in conceptualizing economic and social transitions in the developing global market system and what these chronicles disclose about an era marked by immense change.Focusing on the work of James Fenimore Cooper and Herman Melville, Berger enhances our understanding of how the nineteenth cenSea stories, AmericanHistory and criticismAmerican literature19th centuryHistory and criticismSeafaring life in literatureNational characteristics, American, in literatureSea stories, AmericanHistory and criticism.American literatureHistory and criticism.Seafaring life in literature.National characteristics, American, in literature.810.9/32Berger Jason1976-1468265MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910786957303321Antebellum at sea3755654UNINA01665nam0 22003491i 450 UON0007345520231205102359.85334-470-2002-420020107d1979 |0itac50 baaraDE||||e |||||ˆA ‰dictionary of modern written Arabic (Arabic-English)Hans WehrEd. by J.
