ABSTRACT: This article applies a (micro)biographical approach to the life stories of two Ottoman orphans sent to Germany to receive vocational training during World War I, Ali and İsmail Dağlı. Coupling family archives, oral and visual sources with state documentation, I elaborate on the post-Ottoman afterlives of German know-how, education, and capital in the social and economic history of Turkey. Biographies of Dağlı brothers show that the successors of both empires restored former channels of circulation of expertise, technology, and labor. Especially seen in the context of Jewish emigration, the life and work history of the brothers elucidate the positive reception of their German education, the importance of their position as “cultural intermediaries,” and the extent of Turkish-German business entanglements.

ABSTRACT: The rose motif in Rainer Maria Rilke’s poetry has been analyzed as a variable signifier through metaphorical, existential-philosophical, phenomenological, and even biographical approaches. However, many of these readings miss its self- referential nature. By contrast, based on Manfred Engel’s interpretive framework, deconstructive approaches, and working from two “thing-poems,” this article suggests that the rose can be read as an allegory for Rilke’s poetic text itself, and is an example of a figure to be found in his poetics of figure. Meanwhile, the rose is identified as an important key showing Rilke’s poetic development.

ABSTRACT: This article aims to contribute to research on the international relations between the Federal Republic of Germany and Spain after World War II, when the Franco dictatorship experienced a process of rehabilitation. In order to gain a better understanding of this phenomenon, we need to complement existing studies on the history of diplomatic relations with approaches to the sphere of cultural imaginaries. This article, intended as a particular case study, analyzes the resignification of Francoism in the Federal Republic of Germany (FRG) via the heritage and tourist narratives associated with one historical figure shared by both nations: Charles V.

ABSTRACT: This paper reexamines Ludwig Tieck’s theoretical contributions to Romantic irony and contrasts Tieck’s underacknowledged importance in this area with Friedrich Schlegel’s usual characterization as the progenitor of widely adopted ironic theory. With a unique understanding of dialogic self-creation, Tieck’s 1795 epistolary novel William Lovell proleptically critiques features of what will become the dominant Romantic-ironic worldviews articulated by Schlegel. More specifically, Tieck’s novel stresses the existence of a blind spot within the otherwise circumspect character of irony, foregrounding the risk of egoistic behavior that arises from Schlegel’s positive evaluation of constant subjective activity. Wary of such a risk, Tieck’s theory of irony represents a road not taken with respect to irony’s use as a tool to control and limit the self.

ABSTRACT: Best known as the state youth organization of the German Democratic Republic, the Free German Youth (FDJ) operated widely in West Germany during the early Cold War era. This article provides a brief history of the West-FDJ, as it was known, and concentrates on its prominent efforts challenging Chancellor Konrad Adenauer’s rearmament policies in the early 1950s. While the decision to ban the organization in 1951 was justified by concerns about the fragility of the young democratic state, the Adenauer government’s strident response also served as a politically expedient strategy to undermine resistance to West Germany’s remilitarization.
