Bürgerkriege

Den Spanischen Bürgerkrieg neu und anders zu erzählen, ist programmatisch für Populärmedien wie den Fantasyfilm El laberinto del fauno, den Superheldencomic 1936-La batalla de Madrid oder das Videospiel Sombras de Guerra. Die Werke, die sich im Spannungsfeld des ¿modernen Populären¿ verorten, greifen auf Ausdrucksformen des populärkulturellen Repertoires zurück. Daniela Kuschel zeigt auf, wie die realistischen Schreib- und Erzählweisen, die bislang als emblematisch für die Darstellung des Bürgerkriegs galten, aufgebrochen und umgeformt werden. Jenseits von Authentizität führen diese Modifikationen der Erinnerungslandschaft den Bedarf an neuen Ausdrucksformen individueller und kollektiver Erinnerung vor Augen.

The Battle of Gettysburg was fought July 1-3, 1863, in and around the town of Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, by Union and Confederate forces during the American Civil War. In the battle, Union Major General George Meade's Army of the Potomac defeated attacks by Confederate General Robert E. Lee's Army of Northern Virginia, halting Lee's invasion of the North. The battle involved the largest number of casualties of the entire war and is often described as the war's turning point due to the Union's decisive victory and concurrence with the Siege of Vicksburg.

The Civil War is one of the most studied and written about episodes in the history of the United States. It remains the subject of cultural and historiographical debate. Of particular interest is the persisting myth of the Lost Cause of the Confederacy. The American Civil War was among the earliest to use industrial warfare. Railroads, the telegraph, steamships, the ironclad warship, and mass-produced weapons saw wide use. In total the war left between 620,000 and 750,000 soldiers dead, along with an undetermined number of civilian casualties. The Civil War remains the deadliest military conflict in American history. The technology and brutality of the Civil War foreshadowed the coming World Wars.

Der Regisseur Luis García Berlanga (1921-2010) gilt neben Luis Buñuel und Juan Antonio Bardem als einer der Begründer des modernen spanischen Kinos, ist im deutschsprachigen Raum allerdings weitgehend unbekannt geblieben. Sein hundertster Geburtstag im Jahre 2021 wurde daher als Anlass genommen, um erstmals in deutscher Sprache umfassend in sein Werk einzuführen. Beeinflusst vom italienischen Neorealismus schuf Berlanga ein kritisches Kino voller ironischer und grotesker Pointen, das ihm zwar Probleme mit der Franco-Zensur einbrachte, ihm aber gleichzeitig den Weg zum europäischen Autorenkino und zu den großen internationalen Festivals öffnete. Die in diesem Band versammelten Beiträge von ausgewiesenen Spezialisten beschränken sich nicht nur auf seine Meisterwerke ¡Bienvenido, Mr. Marshall! (1952), Plácido (1961) oder El Verdugo (1963), sondern zeichnen seine Entwicklung von seinen Anfängen bis zur seinem letzten Werk nach. Ergänzt wird der Reigen durch ein bisher kaum beachtetes Interview.

Varje år utkommer fortsättningsvis böcker som behandlar detta dramatiska skede i vår historia. Behövs det alltså ännu en bok till? På svenska?Ja, kan man svara. Dels är litteraturen om kriget av förståeliga skäl finskspråkig. Dels närmar sig denna bok dessa skeenden på ett annorlunda sätt. Här får vi en helhetsbild av kriget som det uppfattades under den tid det pågick, i ljuset av dagstidningarna skriverier om kriget.Många av det otal böcker som skrivits om kriget under alla dessa årtionden kan vara svåra att få tag på. Och vi som lever nu har naturligtvis inga minnesbilder av denna tid, även om vi kanske fått höra en del berättelser, mer eller mindre sanningsenliga, av våra mor- och farföröräldrar. . Därför kan det behövas en bok som sammanfattar krigets tragiska händelser för vår generation, och som kan förmedla de känslor som rådde i samhället under vintern och våren 1918.Och detta gamla talesätt gäller ännu: "Den som inte minns sin historia är dömd att upprepa den".

After the Civil War’s end, reports surged of violence by Southern whites against Union troops and Black men, women, and children. While some in Washington, D.C., sought to downplay the growing evidence of atrocities, in September 1866, Freedmen’s Bureau commissioner O. O. Howard requested that assistant commissioners in the readmitted states compile reports of “murders and outrages” to catalog the extent of violence, to prove that the reports of a peaceful South were wrong, and to argue in Congress for the necessity of martial law. What ensued was one of the most fascinating and least understood fights of the Reconstruction era—a political and analytical fight over information and its validity, with implications that dealt in life and death.Here William A. Blair takes the full measure of the bureau’s attempt to document and deploy hard information about the reality of the violence that Black communities endured in the wake of Emancipation. Blair uses the accounts of far-flung Freedmen’s Bureau agents to ask questions about the early days of Reconstruction, which are surprisingly resonant with the present day: How do you prove something happened in a highly partisan atmosphere where the credibility of information is constantly challenged? And what form should that information take to be considered as fact?

In December 1885, under the watchful eye of Mark Twain, the publishing firm of Charles L. Webster and Company released the first volume of the Personal Memoirs of Ulysses S. Grant. With a second volume published in March 1886, Grant’s memoirs became a popular sensation. Seeking to capitalize on Grant’s success and interest in earlier reminiscences by Joseph E. Johnston, William T. Sherman, and Richard Taylor, other Civil War generals such as George B. McClellan and Philip H. Sheridan soon followed suit. Some hewed more closely to Grant’s model than others, and their points of similarity and divergence left readers increasingly fascinated with the history and meaning of the nation’s great conflict. The writings also dovetailed with a rising desire to see the full sweep of American history chronicled, as its citizens looked to the start of a new century. Professional historians engaged with the memoirs as an important foundation for this work.In this insightful book, Stephen Cushman considers Civil War generals’ memoirs as both historical and literary works, revealing how they remain vital to understanding the interaction of memory, imagination, and the writing of American history. Cushman shows how market forces shaped the production of the memoirs and, therefore, memories of the war itself; how audiences have engaged with the works to create ideas of history that fit with time and circumstance; and what these texts tell us about current conflicts over the history and meanings of the Civil War.

Gold is where you find it; the time-honored mantra of the weekend prospector to the seasoned professional; is at best only a half-truth. Gold is where the planet, through its myriad, inanimate geological processes, choose to leave it. The Dragon Tooth Gold Mine was no exception to the science underlying the geological process of gold deposition, however, only difficult to find microscopic gold on the surface masked the deposit from the greedy eyes of the early prospectors.But it's not only "The Luck of the Irish" that brings the young Callahans to one of the richest gold mines in the Arizona Territories. Through the patience and perseverance of an Indian woman that Eli Callahan takes for his wife, the secrets of the red mountain are unveiled layer by layer. From gold pan to arrastra and sluice; to underground mining, stamp mills, and amalgam tables, the wealth of the Dragon Tooth Mine fuels the Federal money presses of the Civil War.There is more in the mine than gold; the remains of dinosaurs that roamed the earth sixty-five million years ago also await for discovery. More than fossilized ones, the unique discovery fans the fires of news craven printing presses worldwide. Destin also finds the Callahans. Suzette completes her medical degree; Jacques joins the US Army as a scout; Roland becomes the family's financial manager, and Eli stays on the red mountain and mines the gold.More adventure, more intrigue, the Dragon Tooth Gold Series continues moving through and beyond the Civil War years.

The Union army's overwhelming vote for Abraham Lincoln in the 1864 presidential election has led many Civil War scholars to conclude that the soldiers supported the Republican Party and its effort to abolish slavery. In Emancipation, the Union Army, and the Reelection of Abraham Lincoln, Jonathan W. White challenges this reigning paradigm in Civil War historiography, arguing that the army vote is not a reliable index of ideological motivation or political sentiment. Although 78 percent of soldiers cast ballots for Lincoln, White contends that this was not due wholly to a political or social conversion to the Republican Party. Rather, he cites previously ignored mitigating factors such as voter turnout, intimidation at the polls, and soldiers' choices in other elections that same year.While recognizing that many in the military changed their views on slavery and emancipation during the war, White suggests that a considerable number of soldiers who voted for Lincoln still rejected the Republican platform or disagreed with his views on slavery. For them, like many northerners, a vote for the Democratic ticket was considered to be treasonous and an admission of defeat. Using previously untapped court-martial records from the National Archives, as well as manuscript collections from across the country, White convincingly revises many commonly held assumptions about the Civil War era and provides a deeper understanding of the Union army.

This book uses a comparative case study approach to examine how security cultures change under the impact of political shocks and learning through failure. The book thus analyzes the security cultures of Germany and the United States as they evolve under the impact of the war in Bosnia-Herzegovina from 1992 to 1995. The thesis thereby also enhances our understanding of German and U.S. foreign policies. Using paired observations for controlled comparison, the thesis employs process tracing to examine the nature and quantity of change. The case studies demonstrate that security cultures influence the assessment of political situations, restrain policy objectives, and condition the range of issues to which political attention is devoted. Both cases reveal that security cultures affect the evaluation of policy options and the choices that are made. The thesis argues that different transformations of German and U.S. security cultures led to divergent political behavior particularly with regard to the use of force, resulting in more forceful and effective interventions in Bosnia and a reframing of future interventions in third-party conflicts. Domestic reactions to the Bosnian war transformed the security culture in Germany, whereas reactions in the U.S. triggered a re-ranking of cultural preferences. Understanding how security cultures change and evolve through exogenous and endogenous factors improves the chances of policy success in today's challenging international environment.

In Fighting for Citizenship, Brian Taylor complicates existing interpretations of why black men fought in the Civil War. Civil Warera African Americans recognized the urgency of a core political concern: how best to use the opportunity presented by this conflict over slavery to win abolition and secure enduring black rights, goals that had eluded earlier generations of black veterans. Some, like Frederick Douglass, urged immediate enlistment to support the cause of emancipation, hoping that a Northern victory would bring about the end of slavery. But others counseled patience and negotiation, drawing on a historical memory of unfulfilled promises for black military service in previous American wars and encouraging black men to leverage their position to demand abolition and equal citizenship. In doing this, they also began redefining what it meant to be a black man who fights for the United States.These debates over African Americans' enlistment expose a formative moment in the development of American citizenship: black Northerners' key demand was that military service earn full American citizenship, a term that had no precise definition prior to the Fourteenth Amendment. In articulating this demand, Taylor argues, black Northerners participated in the remaking of American citizenship itselfunquestionably one of the war's most important results.
