Topic: German Mediatisation


In the News (Sun 3 Jun 12)

  
  German Mediatisation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The German Mediatisation is a name applied to the series of mediatisations and secularisations which occurred in Germany during the Napoleonic Era (occurring 1795 - 1814AD).
Mediatisation was, put simply, the process of annexing the lands of one sovereign monarchy to another, often leaving the annexed some rights.
As the mediatisations of the Houses of Abensberg-Traun, Anhalt-Bernburg-Schaumburg-Hoym, Aspremont-Lynden, Bentinck, Bömelberg, Bretzenheim, Ligne, Limburg-Styrum, Nesselrode, Nostitz, Ostein, and Wartenberg occured before the founding of the Confederation of the Rhine, they are not counted officially as mediatised monarchies.

During the reorganization of the Empire in 1803 (see German Mediatisation), all of the free cities but six — the Hanseatic cities of Hamburg, Bremen, and Lübeck, and the cities of Frankfurt, Augsburg, and Nuremberg — were eliminated.
Frankfurt was annexed by Prussia in consequence of the part it took in the Austro-Prussian War of 1866.
The three Hanseatic cities remained as constituent states of the new German Empire, and retained this role in the Weimar Republic and into the Third Reich, although under Hitler this status was purely notional.

 Between Fascism and the Euro
Focusing on the cases of Germany and Italy, and, specifically, on the inter-related issues of fascist representations of the past and the representation of Nazi-Fascism in the post-war era, this workshop seeks to explore these question in connection to post-historicist theories of historical agency, representation, and consciousness.
One of the surprising results of this large-scale re-enactment of the bystanders' point of view is the alignment of German audiences with the attitudes and behaviour of the rest of the world, especially the Western world.
While post-war German audiences confront the Holocaust on TV in the 70s and 80s they are undertaking important repair work.

Firstly, this participation serves to secure the influence of the shareholders in situations where their possibilities of control are jeopardized due to the mediatisation caused by the spin-off of important business divisions to subsidiaries on a lower level.
The distinguished judges only explained that a ‘mediatisation' effect, that triggered the approval requirement, was not restricted to a situation as it was dealt with in the Holzmüller case.
[79] Here the mediatisation was a consequence of transferring the shares from the parent to a lower hierarchical level.

The redistribution of German territory following Austria's defeats at Marengo and Hohenlinden saw the 'mediatisation' of 45 of the 51 'free and imperial' cities by their larger neighbours.
Along with the simultaneous annexation of the entire Reichskirche and most of the smaller counties, this process destroyed the hiberarchical character of the old Reich, signalling its demise that came four years later with the abdication of Emperor Francis II.
The process of mediatisation is covered in the next two sections dealing with the higher political decisions and the first measures of the new governments.

 Some Remarks on Interdisciplinary Internet based projects in Japanese and German Schools
For the German side it will be interesting to see, how coordinated national efforts in Japan in the near future will probably create high standards of information education in school.
As mentioned above, German school curricula are only slowly adapting to social changes, and some efforts of technological innovation fail, like in the case of incorporating computer education into the curricula ("infomationstechnische Grundbildung (ITG)") for secondary education at the end of the 1980es, or the often criticized language labs.
On the German side about 40 schools from Hamburg participate in various discussions in the field of history, society, daily life, creative writing etc., and most projects are designed for participation from different subjects.

 RILM Conference: Music's Intellectual History
Significantly, the society came into existence in the wake of the revolutions of 1848-49, when German liberalism was politically challenged by the recent course of events, but its values — secular education, modern scientific advancements, artistic culture — were nonetheless central to the consolidation of bourgeois culture.
The paper challenges the common belief that all important ideas in musicology are available in either English or German by introducing the theory of "sonoristics", a unique method of analysis developed in Polish musicology in the 1950s and 1960s.
Leading German musicologists (such as Carl Dahlhaus and Rudolf Stephan), and contemporary composers (such as Helmut Lachenmann and Nikolaus A. Huber) explored the inner logic of the idea of political music.

At roughly the same time, however, 'film' itself (or more properly the film industry) quickly began to develop its own self-promoting discourse, first through trade publications and later by means of fan magazines and other mass-media outlets, appealing to both prospective distributors and prospective spectators.
All four of these chapters cover roughly the entire time span 1918-1933 from different perspectives: roughly and respectively, the ongoing commodification, aestheticisation, mediatisation, and, obviously, politicisation of film as art (or non-art, depending on the writer).
In a sense, however, the second of these chapters, as the seventh of twelve in total, is itself a sort of pivot point for the entire work, and I will concentrate on this chapter.

In which cases the judiciary would see such a ‘mediatisation', triggering the approval requirement, has not been established conclusively by the Gelatine cases.
Vice versa, such a mediatisation effect does not exist, if the restructuring happens on the same level of subsidiaries of the corporate group.
The criteria to limit the Holzmüller doctrine found in the Gelatine cases cannot simply be copied to the Macrotron principles, because there the BGH has founded the approval requirement not on the Holzmüller doctrine, but instead on Art.

The increasing museumfication of the world and the parallel mediatisation of the museum have meant an uneasy tension in which the world of simulations guarantees the continued relevance of the material world.
While electronic media have, I argued, enabled a questioning of the status of objects in museums, with a consequent freeing up of the kinds of narratives museums use in the interpretation of their collections, this electronic, virtual world has at the same time, ensured the continued relevance of the material world.

Empirical projects that deal with questions of the development, use and related societal consequences were the background to the research project about the "communicative function of the letter in the telematic society’, which was funded by the German Post.
In this context the first communication studies research emerged, which dealt with the use of SMS by young people.

In his introductory remarks to the German version, Assheuer alludes to difficulties, to scepticism, and to the scrupulous scanning of each word.
Indeed, Derrida was unhappy with the printed version and thus requested a caveat to the reader to the effect that this ‘painful experiment’ had brought about a number of concessions and reductions to ‘the simplest expression’.
Also, readers of the German version will note that the sequence has been changed slightly (at times, cuts were made to accommodate portraits of Derrida on the pages of the newspaper).

 Framework 3/2004
When analysing the reactions of the German political and social elite to the RAF show, it is impossible not to notice how strong and widespread the attempt at denial has in practice been.
Even after all these years of potentially constructive reflection, the RAF (Red Army Faction), as a symbol of protests against West-German post-World War II society, is such a taboo that it is either comprehensively demonized or brushed aside.
An exceptional case, which should be borne in mind and also broadcast more widely, when an example is needed of how contemporary art in fact has the ability to question and to shake the trees of arrogance and authority.

It thus gives a practical proof of the fact that the 'impotence and vexation of the citizen', which German ideologists preach about year in year out, is only these gentlemen's own impotent failure to understand the modern movement, and their own vexation at this impotence.

This mediatisation of the printed word presumably had its basis in a routine light reading which was no longer a privilege of the elite, as in Saint Ambrose's time, but which paved the way for democracy through compulsory schooling and general literacy.
As a result literature and science had to revamp their transmission and receiving techniques: away from the literalness of quotes from the scholarly elite, and rhetorical mnemonics, towards an interpretative approach which reduced the quantity of printed data to its essence, in other words to a smaller quantity of data.
In place of Gutenberg's enumerable combinations came, in practical terms too, a calculus of infinites: endless paper machines replaced, as of 1800, the discrete formats and moulded sheets; pulp papers from America's seemingly inexhaustible forests, this material basis of all mass print material since 1850, took the place of rag.

 Why War? Bombs and Bytes: Deleuze, Fascism, and the 'Informatic'   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
However, we often do it irresponsibly or ahistorically, categorically identifying the concept with limited, sociologistic understandings of the German or Italian scenarios around the great wars, or confining it to grotesque figurations of human agency, like that of Mussolini or Hitler.
Informatisation therefore, evades the legal question altogether, by creating a situation where the commonsensical relation between Saddam Hussein and Al Qaida is established not by the word of the sovereign (which can always be produced as evidence and contested in tribunals of justice) but by a manifest immanence of an inhuman sovereign will.
It is only when we understand the cult of information as a social mode of production that we can understand that the problem of mediatisation that we have been talking about does not concern the agency of the individual human at all.

Technology symbolises neither a bright nor a dark side of modernity, nor is it the Other of postmodern aesthetisation; the fact that "machines become disturbingly alive," (33) primarily reflects the need for a different (forgotten) understanding of the subject, nature and identity.
