Dienstmädchen im 19. Jahrhundert (German Edition)

Tours auf Deutsch had the best chance of a former inmate as guide, and we were in luck. At the front of our pack stood Jorge Luis Garcia Vazquez, a lively Cuban linguist who had come to Karl-Marx Stadt from Havana in the early s to work as an interpreter. Vazquez, now in his fifties and happily settled, led us through cell blocks and interrogation chambers, all stark and grey, and possessed of a kitschy quality reminiscent of a John LeCarre film.

After serving his sentence, Vazquez was sent home to Havana, where, wandering the city in , he overheard a German tourist mention that the Berlin wall had fallen. There, beneath brick and barbed wire where inmates were once allowed thirty minutes of daylight, Vazquez gave a quick pitch on the human rights work he was doing for Cuba and then set us free.

This struck me as odd since my fellow tour mates were quite shaken up, but then I remembered: While this is by any standard horrific, I come from a country with more prisoners than any other country in the world. In my home state of California, more public money is spent on prisons than universities. Prison life is a stronghold of American popular culture, with numerous books, TV shows, music, and movies depicting life behind bars.

On the S-Bahn back to West Berlin, the Stalinist block architecture gave way to Gropius and green space as we crossed the line where the wall once divided enemy states. Punk rockers rolled cigarettes outside Checkpoint Charlie; young hipsters drank cider near Brandenburg Gate. In few other cities are the sea changes of Western history more on display than Berlin. A city which, in stark contrast to my home country, appears less bound by than liberated from the chains of its past. A Cuban linguist who longed to escape East Germany to cross the Atlantic now lives a free life in Berlin giving tours of the cells where he was once imprisoned.

Was sollten wir als Erstes in Augenschein nehmen: Etwa das Stasi-Museum oder doch lieber das Holocaust-Mahnmal? Dieser Gruppe schloss ich mich an. Aber dann ging mir ein Licht auf: Sie waren keine Amerikaner. Berlin ist eine Stadt, die, im Gegensatz zu meinem Heimatland, weniger von den Ketten ihrer Vergangenheit gefesselt, als von ihnen befreit worden zu sein scheint.

Das ist eine Art von Freiheit von der 2. Social Sciences Detailed field: Journalism Source text - German Michael Balzer: Gastgeben ist seine Passion. Mit mehr Nachdruck, Energie und Freude, als er es tut, kann man diesen Satz nicht aussprechen. Translation - English A Passion for Entertaining: Michael Balzer - a Profile.

Michael Balzer remembers the most unusual event he ever arranged, organised from A to Z and catered for, as if it were yesterday. It was a birthday celebration for an industrialist, who, together with invited guests, partied 2 for three whole days at a manorial estate. Day two was launched with a Mormon brunch, which the men attended in beards and hats with the ladies appearing in country costume. Later in the day a gentleman's broth 3 was served in tobacco leaves whilst the ladies enjoyed a soup garnished 4 with Laura-Ashley roses - those with the luscious petals - flown in specially from England.

In fact, as Balzer emphasises, he remembers each and every one of his events right down to the decoration and the order of the menu — and there have been many throughout the years. Gesticulating with his hands, Balzer's eyes sparkle as he talks: What's the nicest thing about his role as host? The Goose Bump Guarantor is a literal translation and is only just on the edge of being acceptable. I have been noticing a shift of emphasis in English with goose bumps being reserved more and more for the reaction to cold or horror whilst 'the hair on the back of one's neck standing up' is being used more often to describe the feeling implicitly referred to in this article.

Maybe it would be best to find another title altogether — maybe 'The Earl of Entertainment' or something like that. I have used italics for particularly colloquial terms such as might be used in a magazine article, especially in an article of this sort that wants to sound up-beat and 'with it' 3. Changed to 'broth' avoid the repetition of 'soup' in close succession and because it somehow sounds more masculine.

My assumption is that the soup was garnished with roses rather than being made of them — can you eat roses? Editor's Note to The Transnational Vol. The Transnational wird immer eine kleine Nische in dieser Welt finden: Unsere Worte werden bestehen bleiben. Einige tragen ihn als file auf ihrem Memory Stick mit sich herum oder er steht im digitalen Buchregal, an das keiner mit Hammer und Bagger ran kann.

Und selbst wenn sich die Wut der Hacker irgendwann auf die Literatur richten sollte, so kann niemand vermeiden, dass der ein oder andere vielleicht noch seinen unangetasteten Memory Stick oder seinen External Drive irgendwo rumfliegen hat, auf dem The Transnational schlummert, bis ihn wieder jemand entdeckt. Die Worte der Autoren des Transnational sind konserviert.

Die Moderne schenkt ihr die Grundlage und ihr schenkt ihr dieses Leben. Since the creation and development of a network of autonomous systems in the form of the Internet, humanity has changed faster and more radically than ever before in the course of history. We know things today that our parent's generation never even dared dream of. We live in hash-tag Twitter societies in which people not only transmit information in mere seconds, but can also disseminate it around the world. I often catch myself thinking back nostalgically to the days when people still wrote more letters than emails and simply drove over to see their friends rather than texting them.

Every innovation relating to the further expansion of high-tech' social media seems to be accompanied by the increasing scorification of the human collective, which goes hand-in-hand with the rape of the private sphere to which we give our willing consent. According to German Sociologist Harald Welzer, our modern societies are not only heading towards a new totalitarianism, but are also in the throes of an, as yet peaceful, revolution in the prevailing form of rule in which social platforms and corporations, such as Google and Co.

As a student of totalitarianism, Welzer knows that, in order to be better able to control people in the longer term, the first things to be dispensed with under any dictatorship are the private sphere along with all things secret and hidden. Google and their ilk have already been working towards this abolition privacy for many years, and already control not just the mountains of data within the Internet but also, with our acquiescence, our private lives.

We empower them to create new standards and values — to dictate to us what is normal and appropriate, what is cool or uncool, what is beautiful and what is ugly — what is desirable and what is not. Yet, over the past few weeks and months I have had to relativise the way I view this new digital world to some extent. For it strikes me that, as dangerous as it may be on the one hand, the retention of online data counteracts a radically different development — the destruction not only of data, but also of our collective memory — the erasure of the historical record.

The upshot is that burning books no longer poses the same threat to today's self-proclaimed advanced civilisations as it once did. During the past month I've relocated to Potsdam, a beautiful town with more UNESCO World Heritage Sites than you can shake a stick at, which somehow manages to seamlessly connect the eighteenth and twenty-first centuries. Just how well it does so becomes obvious when one takes a leisurely bike ride passed the Sanssouci Palace gardens every morning whilst simultaneously keeping abreast of how ISIS is systematically annihilating the common heritage of humanity in other, but not too distant, parts of the world.

Yet, the very fact that such a heinous act of cultural vandalism inevitably leaves a trace in the digital world ensures the ultimate survival of, at least, images of the sites in question, even if the physical remains are reduced to dust and rubble. As long as mankind is able to read the digital record, nothing it contains can be lost forever. I love the idea that The Transnational — and your contributions to it — will always have a niche of their own within this nebulous universe of computers, servers, external drives, and social media: Our words will remain.

Much like some antibody, they are immune to destruction by outside forces because The Transnational is swimming through the vast ocean of data that is the Internet in the form of an e-book. Some carry it around as a file on a memory stick. Others stow it away on some digital bookshelf. Either way it is safe from jackhammers and wrecking balls. And even if the hacker community should ever turn its destructive gaze on literature, somebody somewhere will always have a pristine copy of The Transnational on some form of removable media, just waiting to be rediscovered. They are chiselled into the very fabric of the Internet and will continue their 'careers' for as long as anyone cares to read them, listen to them, share them or comment on them.

So literature, one of man's earliest achievements, has found a way to survive. Modernity itself furnishes it with the means to do so, but it is you, the contributors, who give it life. In this edition, 38 authors come together to comment on life, to allow us a glimpse into their various mind sets, and to draw our attention to the things that move them as individuals and which may, or perhaps ought to, move others. Thus, they gift to us a piece of eternity. We may agree or disagree with these utterances. We may formulate our own thoughts on the issues in question or we may expand upon existing ideas — we can do all of that, but no one can destroy them.

They cannot be eradicated. We are in the process of creating our own cultural heritage in words, sentences, and opinions. My heartfelt thanks to all contributors. All the best to you all from Potsdam. Excerpt from Daimon Humanitatis. Das Ende der Sprachlosigkeit. Und so warfen sich die Derangierten in die Arztkittel und vertauschten frech die Rollen. Das war ihr Marsch durch die Institutionen. Felix Krull im Vergleich war da nur ein Hotellaufbursche.

Was bedeutet das konkret? Hier wird im Schnellverfahren jeder bis in seine Existenz hinein mit ideologischen Fallbeilen guillotiniert. Hemmungslos verschlingt der falsche Leviathan die Demokratie samt freier Marktwirtschaft. Translation - English The loony left - what's it all about?

The basic concept, en vogue since when the sons and daughters of the bored-oisie found their vocation in hooliganism, seems convincingly simple and goes like this: And so the misfits promptly donned white coats and insolently switched roles. Since then a whole host of these patients have managed to penetrate to the highest echelons of power cleverly disguised as therapists: Felix Krull was a mere errand boy by comparison.

So what does it all mean in practice? Ironically enough, this is all been done by those very people who have traditionally stood shoulder-to-shoulder with the most vocal advocates of paedophilia. But it's in the battle of terminology that the loony left is able to fight with such bravura. It's their insidious euphemisms and masterly displays of outrage that have such a mesmerising effect and drag the disoriented masses into the maw of the all-encompassing, all-controlling, and all-knowing state, that very state now garrisoned by these same sons and daughters.

After all, their illustrious careers derive precisely from their Samaritan-esque embodiment of the state, masquerading as the benefactors of the needy and healers of the helpless. And so it is that this false state, with its counterfeit doctors, infiltrates every sphere of public and private life. All that remains to be done is to silence a few dissenters, to intimidate and browbeat all the non-believers, who bravely continue to cling to the principle of personal responsibility. All hounded to their very souls in summary hearings and dispatched under the ideological guillotines, while, with wanton abandon, this treacherous Leviathan gobbles down democracy along with the free market economy.

The loony left is the bloodhound snuffling out the "victims" in need of its aid. The more it learns how to distil "hardship and helplessness", "cold indifference and exploitation" from the tiniest of scratches, the more aid workers need to be recruited to provide succour to the "victims".

The monstrance of tolerance is extolled by the high priests of the loony left and borne aloft through the streets as a means of creating ever more victims. Only, now a sudden breeze blows in from the desert, bearing tidings of long ago. Standing outside the gates in the form of an impoverished child it laps up the nourishment and care lavished on it by the loony left that protects it and raises it as if it were the fruit of its own loins. It's the innocently smiling child that came from afar and will one day deal it the death blow.

Die Stadt by Theodor Storm General field: Translation - English On dreary beach, by grey sea shore And not far off the town; The fog bears down on roof and floor, Through quiet night resounds the roar Drearily round the town. No forest rustles, birds don't cry Without a rest or pause in May; And just the goose with raucous cry Does cross on Autumn nights the sky, The grasses wave all day.

HAUSMÄDCHEN - Definition and synonyms of Hausmädchen in the German dictionary

Yet all my heart remains with you, O dreary seaside town; Enchanted youth for ever true Rests smiling still on you, on you, O dreary seaside town. Das deutsch-deutsche Lesebuch, published in General field: Willst du die Stummel nicht haben? Ich hoffe er wird dich ohrfeigen, wenn du mit den Litzen auf der Schulter nach Hause kommst. Translation - English It was just getting light as we reached the German border: It became quiet in the goods wagon. The train advanced slowly along the patched up tracks, passing shot-up houses and splintered telegraph poles.

The youngster 1 crouching next to me took off his glasses and carefully wiped them. And as we stopped at Nijmegen just as the dawn was breaking and someone said we'd soon be coming to the German border, he had nervously asked around if anyone would swap some thread for a couple of cigarette ends; and when no one had responded I had offered to rip off my collar patches — or flashes as I believe they were called — and turn them into dark green thread.

I took off my tunic and watched him as he carefully removed them with a piece of tin before picking them apart and then actually beginning to stitch the officer cadet braiding around his epaulettes.

Our first challenge, especially with the historical recordings by Seifert and Eichhoff, is to establish what we can about which varieties of German and English the interviewees spoke and how well. To do that, we rely on direct and indirect evidence in the recordings, including the production of the speaker, the apparent comprehension of the speaker and reports of linguistic knowledge and usage.

But let us begin with data from the time before sound recordings. We can start tracing social and structural features of Wisconsin German using literary sources from the 19th century and early 20th century. Local German plays, short stories and novels show the same variables under discussion in our recordings. Alfred Ira — a pen name for the minister and newspaper publisher Alfred Friedrich Grimm — wrote an extensive body of work that often includes e.

Gugler came to Milwaukee from Stuttgart at age 6. He writes Standard German but represents the speech of a diverse set of German-American characters. Gugler uses these different styles and dialects to depict characters of different social groups. As shown below, descriptions of the characters are not only about the personality of the characters, but also their speech patterns. This characterization implies something about the people who would have attended performances of this play or read it: Because of the specificity of each of these descriptions, it is clear that these varieties would have meant something to the audience and that this meta-linguistic discussion would have been meaningful to actors.

We show this with three examples from the play. Das Pommerisch-Mecklenburgische ist dabei vorherrschend. City-Berlin dialect should be avoided as much as possible. We infer that, when this play was written in , the German-speaking, theater-going public in Milwaukee was not only familiar with the Low German, Standard High German and English presented in the play, but also that the structural patterns associated with dialects such as Pomeranian-Mecklenburgish and City-Berlinish signified something to the audience.

To appreciate the play, then, the audience had to understand the social and regional values of these speech patterns. Kein Augenblick nich Ruhe! Not a moment of rest! Most clearly, there are loan words and translations from English.

Double negatives which appear are not found in Standard German, but are used dialectically and found in recordings from contemporary speakers in the area. Similarly, the use of tun as an auxiliary is common in regional colloquial speech, but not accepted in Standard German. Finally, the ge - prefix of Standard German appears as je -, which is an expected form in northern dialects. A second and quite distinct situation is that of a Low German speaker, whose speech is described this way:.

Der allgemeine Ton wohlgetroffen ist dem zu genauen Markiren des Einzelnen in der Sprache vorzuziehen. The Ticketpeddler must have a strong Low German accent. If my attempt at Low German can or should be improved by an actor who is a native speaker of Low German, he should beware not to make the speech too real. The successful general tone is preferable to the exact characterizations of the language.

In fact, the language he uses is heavily Low German, but includes significant elements from High German, like at the end of this passage:. That may well be the case, and at first when I was still green, I also viewed it like that, but my neighbor Jochen Snut said to me: Whoever pays the most, gets it; whether one buys the votes before the election or buys them after…. The speech of the Peddler shows the use of aberscht Low German aberst , as well as annerscht typically anners in Low German , both indicative of the shibilization found in southern and southwestern Germany.

The key here is that the Peddler, a native speaker of Low German who otherwise shows no apparent southern or southwestern features, uses it. The area in Germany where this feature is common is nowhere close to Pomerania, as can be seen on the relevant Sprachatlas map http: Da gehst Du nun zu weit, lieber Gottfried. Im Gegentheil, ich versuchte Dich vor einer Blamage zu retten. In your opinion, then, I am such an objectionable candidate that only the fact that we are related by marriage prevented you from publically disgracing me? With that you go too far, dear Gottfried.

On the contrary, I tried to save you from disgrace. I value your respectability and love you for your excellent character, but to preside over a municipal administration, that requires outstanding administrative abilities, which your earlier business allowed you little opportunity to develop. The main reason for my opposition, however, lay in the belief that you were merely driven by ambition and boredom, and following a conversation with Marie I came to the conclusion that I would be doing her, and perhaps in the end you as well, a favor, if I acted as I did, in order to protect the family from still possible embarrassment.

This conversation sounds very stiff and outdated to the contemporary ear, using complex syntax and structures, including the genitive case, which are not unprecedented, but are certainly not typical of conversational speech. Features of general colloquial American German, such as tun as an auxiliary, are notably absent, as are any clear dialectal features for Dorn. Evidence from s recordings. In the s, Seifert recorded German speakers in eastern Wisconsin, including at least 11 speakers from Dodge and neighboring areas of Jefferson County.

These early recordings show basically no code-switching, and speakers appear to have full control of the two or more languages they speak. Some lexical borrowing occurs between varieties in all directions, mostly from English into Low German and German and occasionally from German into Low German. See below for an example of this basic pattern from the later Eichhoff recordings. These recordings often give remarkable indications of the linguistic repertoires of the speakers. Beyond lexical borrowings and some regional character, mostly from prosodic patterns, the High German sounds impressionistically different from contemporary European German in ways that can be interpreted as reflecting contact with American English.

While similar allophones exist in some varieties of German like some Saxon dialects , those dialects are not found in this area to our knowledge. One simple example suffices here to show both regional and social aspects of variation in speech, from a Seifert interview recorded in with a male from Waterloo Jefferson County, west of Watertown and just south of the Dodge County line. He was born in Wisconsin in and reports in the relevant U. Census data that he was a harness maker, likely retired at the time of the recording.

Most of the recording consists of English-to-German translations and the speaker uses a colloquial German with an array of diverse regional features and many standard-like features. He uses wie for the comparative particle rather than standard and typically northern als , and shows shibilization in Herbst. Still, for a speaker born during the American Civil War, we find a set of distinctly non-northern features alongside some northern features and both distinctly standard and non-standard features.

Evidence from the s recordings. Eichhoff interviewed 7 speakers in this area, to our knowledge, 6 males and only one female. All of the speakers are interviewed in Low German. Because his goal is to record Low German, speakers use overwhelmingly Low German on the recordings, but indirect evidence shows that speakers had good comprehension of contemporary Standard German and American English.

To the first point, Eichhoff gives the speakers complicated sentences in High German and they all respond as easily as they do to his English as to his Low German prompts. Yet no one seems to blink at his extremely standard Northern German. Speakers almost always do a linguistic biography at the end and they generally make explicit that they know German and Low German also often called Platt.

The consultants talk about using German and Platt, making clear that Deutsch does not include Low German for them. And they have High German loans in their Platt that are striking to the ear. One expressly uses a High German word and flags it as such: This suggests that he could not recall the Platt and gave a German form instead, in fact a cognate with the Low German Rohm , though German has both Rahm and Sahne for this with regional variation. One speaker begins doing these in High German and self-corrects. Then, less than 30 seconds later, he starts doing them in High German and Eichhoff pushes him back into Low German.

Das Holz is im Oven. Das Holz ist im Ofen. Mach mal das Feuer an. Dat Holt is im Oven. We conclude that these speakers understand complex sentences in Standard German easily and evidence suggests that they have decent command of it, based on production one uses dative and their self-reports.

Gray zones: The fluidity of Wisconsin German language and identification

This is consistent with evidence from three Wisconsin communities in Schwartzkopff Evidence from contemporary recordings. The first two authors of this paper — in part together with another fieldworker, Clinton Ford — recorded interviews with 28 speakers in this area, 15 of which are used here, 6 males and 9 females. The majority of speakers have ancestral ties to Pomerania, but consultants from one family mention ancestors from German-speaking Hungary and a few others do not know what parts of Europe their German-speaking ancestors emigrated from.

That said, Sewell clearly shows, after several generations in Wisconsin, family histories become quite complex, with many individuals having ancestry from various regions, countries and language areas.
