	Hans-Friedrich Blunck - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		After Adolf Hitler and the Nazis seized power, Blunck was chosen on 7 June 1933 to be the second chairman of the Section for Poetry of the Prussian Academy of the Arts; the first chairman was Hanns Johst.
		Blunck had before this taken up one of the posts left open after all Jewish members had been excluded.
		Unlike his successor Johst, Blunck was not a member of the NSDAP and spoke out against persecution of Jews who, for example, served in World War I. Blunck was named foreign representative of the Reich Literature Chamber and Honorary "Chairman by seniority".

		However, in Johst's German an irritant or sign of danger is met by measured menace rather than the lightning draw of a mindless gunslinger.
		When, as in Johst's play, a young proto-Nazi in the recently humiliated Germany is seen to own a Browning pistol, it is a powerful but frequently repressed sign of the international arms trade which continues to make war so disastrous for many and so lucrative for a few.
		Johst's play was completed before that occurred but was first performed in the Berlin State Theatre to mark the Führer's first anniversary as Reichschancellor on 20 April 1933, a date significantly close to the tenth anniversary of Schlageter's execution on the outskirts of Düsseldorf.

	___HANS HAACKE Symbolic Capital Management
		[1] The author, Hanns Johst, had earlier made a name for himself as an expressionist writer and poet.
		With a pledge of undying loyalty, he dedicated his new play to Hitler, and two years later, Johst was put in charge of the literature section in Goebbels's propaganda ministry.
		However, as Johst's personal career demonstrates, the new masters also recognized, as others had before and would do later, that the symbolic power of the arts could be put to good use.

		He served as an orderly in the German army during the First World War, but by its end was deeply disenchanted, not only with the war, but with society in general.
		His first play, Baal, was written in 1918 in response to Hanns Johst's romaticising tragedy, The Lonely Man. This was followed in 1920 by Drums in the Night.
		During this period, he was writing a good deal of poetry and music as well.

	village voice > theater > Baal by Alicia Solomon
		Specifically, Baal responds directly to Hanns Johst's The Lonely One, a grandiloquent, episodic drama that exalts the 19th-century German Romantic poet Christian Grabbe as a misunderstood visionary.
		There's an anti-nationalistic undercurrent to Baal, too, one that surges up from time to time through allusion and implication: Brecht's first audiences would not only have known Johst's play and the long line of starving-artist dramas it emblematized, but also that Grabbe was an ultra-nationalist and virulent anti-Semite, and that Johst was, too.
		Michael J.X. Gladis, in his New York debut, is a blustery, belching, balls-scratching Baal, who handles the language most delicately, enabling one to truly hear the poetry.

	The New York Review of Books: REACHING FOR THE GUN
		The author of the famous boast—often attributed to Goering or Goebbels—about reaching for the revolver at the mention of culture is Hanns Johst (not Jolst), the Nazis' leading playwright (not Hitler's minister, of culture), who became the president of the Reichsschrifttumskammer, the Reich Chamber of Writers.
		It occurs in Johst's most famous play, Schlageter (first performed in April 1933, for Hitler's birthday), the story of Albert Leo Schlageter (1894-1923), along with Horst Wessel a star of the Nazi martyrology.
		Schlageter—hailed in Johst's play as "the first soldier of the Third Reich"—was a demobilized army officer who joined the Party in 1922, and the following year took part in armed resistance to the French forces still occupying the Ruhr, was caught sabotaging a railway line, tried (by a French military court), and executed.

		Active opposition to culture has been a characteristic of totalitarian governments, summed up by a famous saying: “Whenever I hear the word culture, I release the safety-catch of my Browning!”;.
		(Often attributed in a different form to Hermann Goering, it was actually written by the German dramatist Hanns Johst in 1933.)
		Presumably Milan Kundera coined the word in Czech, from which it was carried over into the English translation.

		There may still be historians who retain a certain amount of sympathy for the words of Hanns Johst but not even the most dogged of traditionalists could fail to enjoy this splendid collection of essays, which have been presented to Professor David Underdown by his colleagues, students and friends.
		As its title suggests, the book focuses on the interconnections between culture and politics, an intersection which -- as the editors observe in the introductory chapter -- has long been a central concern of Underdown's own work.
