The question of what it takes "to be a man" comes under scrutiny in this sharp, often playful, cultural critique of the German duel--the deadliest type of one-on-one combat in fin-de-siécle Europe. At a time when dueling was generally restricted to swords or had been abolished altogether in other nations, the custom of fighting to the death with pistols flourished among Germany's upper-class males, who took perverse comfort in defying their country's weakly enforced laws. From initial provocation to final death agony, Kevin McAleer describes with ironic humor the complex protocol of the German duel, inviting his reader into the disturbing mindset of its practitioners and the society that valued this socially important but ultimately absurd pastime. Through a narrative that cannot restrain itself from poking fun at the egos and prejudices that come to the fore in the pursuit of "manliness," McAleer offers both an entertaining and thought-provoking portrait of a cultural phenomenon that had far-reaching effects. The author employs a wealth of anecdotes to re-create the dueling event in all its variety, from the level of insult--which could range from loudly ridiculing a man's choice of entrée in an upscale restaurant to, more commonly, bedding his wife--to such intricacies as the time and place of the duel, the guest list, the selection of weapons and number of paces, dress options, and the decision regarding when to let the attending physician set up his instruments on the field. As he exposes the reader to the fierce mentality behind these proceedings, McAleer describes the duel as a litmus test of courage, the masculine apotheosis, which led its male practitioners to lay claim to both psychic and legal entitlements in Wilhelmine society. The aristocratic nature of the duel, with its feudal ethos of chivalry, gave its upper-middle-class practitioners even more opportunity to distinguish themselves from the underclasses and other marginalized groups--such as Socialists, Jews, left-liberals, Catholics, and pacifists, who, for various reasons, were stigmatized as incapable of "giving satisfaction." The duel, according to McAleer, was thus a social mirror, and the dueling issue political dynamite. Throughout these accounts, the author sustains a personal voice to convey the horror and fascination of what at first appears to be simply a curious fringe activity, but which he goes on to reveal as an integral element of German society's consciousness in the late nineteenth century. In so doing, he strengthens the argument that Germany followed a path of development separate from the rest of Europe, leading to World War I and ultimately to Hitler and the Nazis. Originally published in 1994.

Ehre Wem Ehre Geb Hrt written by Hanna-Maria Schmalenbach and has been published by LIT Verlag Münster this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on with categories.

Ehre - ein Begriff, der in westlichen Kulturen vielfach verstaubt anmutet, weltweit aber für ein Phänomen von größter Relevanz steht. Dieses Buch erschließt das vielschichtige Phänomen Ehre in seiner Universalität und Kulturabhängigkeit in einem interdisziplinären Gesamtüberblick. Bei der Betrachtung des Phänomens aus biblisch-theologischer und missiologischer Perspektive erweist sich, dass Ehre kein exotisches Randthema in Theologie und Mission sein darf, sondern geradezu ein Schlüsselkonzept ist, das vielen Menschen dieser Welt den Zugang zum Evangelium erleichtert, ja erst möglich macht.

For centuries, duelling played an integral role in the preservation of the aristocratic order in Europe, defying attempts by both church and state to ban the practice. Moreover, the romance and drama of the duel has made it an enduring fixture in films, literature, and the theatre. In The Duel in European History, renowned historian Victor Kiernan writes with his characteristic wit and insight of duelling's evolution from its medieval origins – when it was regarded as a badge of rank - to the early twentieth century, by which time it was seen as an irrational anachronism. In doing so, he shows how the duelling tradition was something unique to Europe and its colonies, and, in its contribution to the development of the officer corps, played a key part in shaping European military power. Drawing on a vast range of historical and cultural sources, this is the definitive account of a violent ritual that continues to fascinate even today.

Hatten adlige Selbsttötungen in der Frühen Neuzeit ihre Ursache in einer krankhaften Ehrfixierung des Adels oder handelt es sich dabei um eine kritische Zuschreibung von außen? Florian Kühnel untersucht ausgehend von archivalischen wie publizistischen Quellen den gesellschaftlichen Umgang mit Adelssuiziden im 18. und frühen 19. Jahrhundert und fragt nach kollektiven Wahrnehmungs- und Deutungsmustern. So erhellt er nicht nur die Suizidmotive und die Bedeutung der Ehre für den frühneuzeitlichen Adel, sondern schließt davon auch auf den Wandel der Adligkeit im Übergang zur Moderne: Aus welchen Gründen töteten sich Adlige um 1800 und was sagt das über ihr adliges Selbstverständnis aus?

Die Abhandlung beleuchtet die allgemein sehr positiv besetzten Begriffe der Ehre und Männlichkeit von ihren realen Wirkungen her, die sie für die Betroffenen und die Gesellschaft haben. Vor dem Hintergrund historischer Phänomene - etwa des Duells - und gegenwärtiger Ausprägungen - z. B. Ehrenmorde - werden ihre fragwürdigen und oft zerstörerischen Komponenten analysiert. Dabei zeigen sich Gefahren und Abgründe, die ein Umdenken unausweichlich machen.

This important new work describes how the Imperial German Navy, which had expanded to become one of the great maritime forces in the world, second only to the Royal Navy, proved, with the exception of its submarines, to be largely ineffective throughout the years of conflict.The impact of this impotence had a far-reaching effect upon the service. Germany, indeed most of Europe, was in the grips of a spirit of militant nationalistic fervour, and the inactivity of the great Imperial Navy caused deep frustration, particularly among the naval officers. Not only were they unable to see themselves as heroes, they were also ridiculed on the home front and felt profoundly humiliated. With the exception of the one sea battle at Jutland, their ships saw little or no action at sea and morale slowly collapsed to a point where, at the end of the war, the crews were in a state of mutiny. The seemingly ludicrous order that forced the fleet to go to sea against the British in 1918 was driven by a sense of humiliation, but coming at the war's end it triggered a revolution because the German sailors wanted no part in such madness. The internment at Scapa Flow was the ultimate shaming. This is a fascinating and perceptive analysis of a whole era, and it contributes substantially to our understanding of the war and its consequences consequences, sadly, that helped pave the way for the Third Reich.
