This is a study in the pathology of cultural criticism. By analyzing the thought and influence of three leading critics of modern Germany, this study will demonstrate the dangers and dilemmas of a particular type of cultural despair. Lagarde, Langbehn, and Moeller van den Bruck-their active lives spanning the years from the middle of the past century to the threshold of Hitler's Third Reich-attacked, often incisively and justly, the deficiencies of German culture and the German spirit. But they were more than the critics of Germany's cultural crisis; they were its symptoms and victims as well. Unable to endure the ills which they diagnosed and which they had experienced in their own lives, they sought to become prophets who would point the way to a national rebirth. Hence, they propounded all manner of reforms, ruthless and idealistic, nationalistic and utopian. It was this leap from despair to utopia across all existing reality that gave their thought its fantastic quality.

Die Körperkontaktstörung ist eine der am meisten übersehenen Störungen. – Dabei zeigen empirische Befunde und Erfahrungen aus der Therapiepraxis zunehmend, dass es diese Störung gibt: die Unfähigkeit von Babies und Kindern, Blick- oder Körperkontakt mit ihren Eltern aufzunehmen. – Die Befunde zeigen auch: Wenn die Fähigkeit zum Körperkontakt blockiert und damit die Bindungsfähigkeit gestört ist, steigt die Wahrscheinlichkeit von späteren Auffälligkeiten im Sozialverhalten erheblich. Und über das Sozialverhalten kann die Körperkontaktstörung Einfluss auf alle Lebensbereiche – wie etwa Spiel- und Lernverhalten, Umgang mit Gleichaltrigen oder Konfliktverhalten – nehmen, sie stellt damit eine weitflächige Bedrohung der seelischen Gesundheit dar.Dieses Buch ist das erste Überblickswerk zu dieser „übersehenen Störung“: ein interdisziplinäres Autorenteam (u.a. Kinderärzte, Kinder- und Jugendlichen-Psychotherapeuten) erklärt theoretische Grundinformationen, empirische Ergebnisse, praktische Diagnose- und Behandlungsmöglichkeiten (letztere mit einem Schwerpunkt auf verhaltenstherapeutischer, kanalspezifischer Intervention und positiver Konfrontation mit Körperkontakt) sowie ethische Aspekte.Zahlreiche Farbfotos aus realen Therapiesituationen geben Hilfestellung beim Erkennen und Behandeln der Körperkontaktstörung bei Babies, Kindern und auch Erwachsenen. Für Therapeuten und Kinderärzte, aber auch für interessierte und betroffene Eltern.

This is a groundbreaking study of the prestigious Berlin and Vienna Philharmonics during the Third Reich. Making extensive use of archival material, including some discussed here for the first time, Fritz Trümpi offers new insight into the orchestras’ place in the larger political constellation. Trümpi looks first at the decades preceding National Socialist rule, when the competing orchestras, whose rivalry mirrored a larger rivalry between Berlin and Vienna, were called on to represent “superior” Austro-German music and were integrated into the administrative and social structures of their respective cities—becoming vulnerable to political manipulation in the process. He then turns to the Nazi period, when the orchestras came to play a major role in cultural policies. As he shows, the philharmonics, in their own unique ways, strengthened National Socialist dominance through their showcasing of Germanic culture in the mass media, performances for troops and the general public, and fictional representations in literature and film. Accompanying these propaganda efforts was an increasing politicization of the orchestras, which ranged from the dismissal of Jewish members to the programming of ideologically appropriate repertory—all in the name of racial and cultural purity. Richly documented and refreshingly nuanced, The Political Orchestra is a bold exploration of the ties between music and politics under fascism.

In this sumptuous portrait of the house known as ‘the English Versailles’, the Duke of Buccleuch sets the scene with a history of his ancestors, the Montagus of Boughton, who acquired the manor in Northamptonshire in the reign of Henry VIII. Ralph, 1st Duke of Montagu (1638–1709), Charles II’s envoy to Louis XIV, transformed Boughton into a palatial homage to French culture. His son John, the 2nd Duke, was noted for planting long avenues, a love of heraldry, a fondness for practical jokes and the ancient lion he nursed in one of the courtyards. The book showcases Boughton’s magnificent painted ceilings, tapestries and Sèvres porcelain. The celebrated art collection also includes striking portraits of Elizabeth I, Charles II and his son the Duke of Monmouth, another Buccleuch ancestor. Van Dyck’s friends and contemporaries cluster in the Drawing Room in dozen of grisailles. Most eye-catching of all is the portrait of Shakespeare’s muses, the Early and Countess of Southampton. A grand tour takes in the French-inspired façade, the formal State Rooms and the Tudor Great Hall, with their painted ceilings, flamboyant French furniture and the oldest dated carpet in Europe – before moving to the park, with its avenues of soaring limes, network of lakes, and dramatic new sunken pool.
