Abstract As a young poet, Hans Magnus Enzensberger sought to garner symbolic capital in the formative years of post-war German literature by translating Pablo Neruda. By arguing that Enzensberger uses a deharmonizing translation strategy to explore his distrust of metaphor, the article maps out coordinates for rethinking the complex relationship between Enzensberger’s poems and translations.

The Language of Ideology: Lingual Manipulation of Readers in German Literature of the Third Reich

In recognizing more than just hyperbole in their critical studies of National Socialist language, post-war philologists Viktor Klemperer (1946) and Eugen Seidel (1961) credit persuasive words and syntax with the expansion of Hitler's ideology among the German people. This popular explanation is being revisited by contemporary philologists, however, as new historical argument holds the functioning of the Third Reich to be anything but monolithic. An emerging scholarly consensus on the presence of more chaos than coherence in Nazi discourse suggests a new imperative for research. After reviewing the foundational works of Mein Kampf (1925) and Myth of the Twentieth Century (1930), the author confirms Klemperer and Seidel’s claim for linguistic manipulation in the rise of the National Socialist Party. Most importantly, this article provides a detailed explanation of how party leaders employed rhetorical language to promote fascist ideology without an underlying basis of logical argumentation.

This article explores the development of local religious traditions in post-war Taiwan, particularly since the ending of martial law in 1987. It focuses on the factors underlying the ongoing popularity of temple cults to local deities such as Mazu (originally the goddess of the sea, now worshipped as an all-powerful protective deity) and the Royal Lords (Wangye; plague deities now invoked to counter all manner of calamities). Special attention is devoted to the complex relationship between local community-based religious traditions and the state, including the loosening of restrictions on festivals, the use of temples as sites for political rallies during local elections, and the recent controversy over attempts to stage direct pilgrimages to mainland China. Other issues include debates over the “indigenization” of religious traditions in Taiwan and the growth of academic organizations devoted to the study of Taiwanese religion.

Like most present-day Hungarian composers, Zsolt Durkó is scarcely known even as a name in this country, so for a start it will help to place him in a wider context. He was born in 1934, an exact contemporary of Maxwell Davies and Harrison Birtwistle, and a near contemporary of Maw, Williamson, Bennett, Crosse and Goehr—a member, in other words, of that gifted generation whose formative years were post-war, and who now stand at the very centre of new music in the sixties. British composers have had their obstacles to surmount. In Hungary politics and music history have posed obvious problems. But in the music which is beginning to percolate into Britain, whether, by Bozay, Petrovics, Hidas or Durkó, they are seemingly mastered, and Durkó's work at any rate pays lip-service neither to ideology nor to the two great figures of twentieth-century Hungarian music, Bartók and Kodály.

By common consent one of the finest historians of his generation, Eric Hobsbawm was also a longstanding member of the British Communist Party. In particular, his formative years as a historian spanned the period from the popular front communism of the 1930s to the post-war Communist Party Historians' Group. The background and activities of the Historians' Group have been described many times, including by Hobsbawm himself. Nevertheless, in these interviews recorded between 1990 and 2001 Hobsbawm opened up regarding the role of key networks and personalities that did not always figure in accounts like his autobiography Interesting Times. Notably among them are Dona Torr and John Morris, the historian of the classical world with whom Hobsbawm launched the journal Past and Present at the height of the Cold War.

The Impact

This contribution examines how the Flemish author Hugo Claus forged his media image, from his early literary breakthrough in 1948 until right before his death in 2008. Claus’s relationship with the press was twofold. On the one hand, he did not believe in a ‘clear-cut identity’, which in interviews led him to hide behind a game of masquerades. On the other, he gladly and unequivocally communicated his progressive political and social ideas. This chapter pays ample attention to the early years of Claus’s career, including – amongst other episodes – his membership of COBRA and his sojourns in Paris and Rome. It also discusses his complex relationship with the Catholic Church and with confessional newspapers. Finally, it examines the impact of Claus’s public persona on post-war Flanders.

The Oak That Wished It Were a Reed: Georges Sadoul and André Bazin

Post War

The two leading French film writers and critics of the post-war period were André Bazin and Georges Sadoul. Their relationship has often been reduced to the controversy that followed the publication of Bazin's article on ‘Soviet Cinema and the Myth of Stalin’ in 1950. While the ensuing polemic undeniably drove them apart, the prevailing critical emphasis on this episode fails to do justice to either their critical work or its wider context. Indeed, the heartfelt tribute Sadoul paid to Bazin after the latter's death testifies to a much richer and more complex relationship between the two critics. Drawing on both published and archival sources, this article sets out to throw a new and more comprehensive light on this historically critical relationship and its context by examining the reactions of both critics to the ‘Stalin Myth’ controversy, post-war American cinema, and the form and content debate of the later 1940s.
