Constitutional System

The German Democratic Republic, as a state of real socialism, guaranteed its citizens, in addition to classical individual fundamental rights, also collective rights. Their use was made conditional, depending on the fulfilment of obligations specified in the Constitution. In the GDR, there were no independent bodies and mechanisms to protect the rights of citizens. Constitutional system of fundamental rights was primarily serving the good of the community and the development of a modern socialist state.

This chapter describes the development of East German dance after the proclamation of national independence in 1949. This development was constructed within a larger debate about realism and the role of art-making in a socialist state. The importance of these questions inspired leading authors to attempt to define the meaning of realism in dance over a period of twenty years. These ideologies evolved along with the broader political and economic situation in the German Democratic Republic. The chapter focuses on the significant 1966 founding of the Tanztheater company at East Berlin's Komische Oper and the role played by its artistic director and chief choreographer, Tom Schilling. The unstable legacy of his work reveals that the question of how to create dances that are both politically effective as well as successful works of art has yet to be resolved.

Better Than

We Greek political emigres celebrate the thirtieth historical anniversary of the GDR as our own holiday since we are vitally connected to this state from its first steps onwards. We feel better than any other foreigner the great joy and the pride of the people of the GDR since, from the foundation of its socialist state, we are marching side by side and since then we by way of our small contribution feel as co-constructors of this grand act. The thirtieth anniversary of the GDR coincides with the thirtieth anniversary of our political emigration to this hospitable country. Today we all remember the first years after our arrival and our caring reception in the GDR. (Speech of the day at the central celebration of the Greek political emigres in the GDR devoted to the thirtieth anniversary of the GDR and the thirtieth anniversary of the political emigration, Dresden, 29 September 1979).

Integral Element

The 1989 revolution in the German Democratic Republic (GDR) constituted an integral element of wider revolutionary processes in Eastern Europe. But in contrast to what happened in Poland, Hungary, and Czechoslovakia, where the abrogation of real socialism meant return to one’s own national history, to distinctive national and state traditions, what happened in the GDR left its citizens in a great void, because they lacked a collective identity of their own. The crisis of GDR society came down to the fact that rejecting socialism meant rejecting one’s own country, and this had for a long time been against the wishes of the majority. As 1989 unfolded, opposition intellectuals continued to see the only alternative to the GDR to be a new, improved, but still socialist GDR. Meanwhile, the popular demonstration in Leipzig on 9 October 1989 signaled the end of the Communist regime. The destruction of the Berlin Wall on 9 November 1989 was its last dying breath. The paradox was that although the popular call for reunification with West Germany succeeded, the result was widespread frustration, not satisfaction. Moreover, it must be said that the pre-1989 opposition played only a small role in the transformation.

The Third Reich

The rise of neo-Nazism in the capital of the former German Democratic Republic (GDR) was not inspired by a desire to recreate Hitler's Reich, but by youthful rebellion against the political and social culture of the GDR's Communist regime. This is detailed in Fuehrer-Ex: Memoirs of a Former Neo-Naxi by Ingo Hasselbach with Tom Reiss (Random House, New York, 1996). This movement, however, eventually worked towards returning Germany to its former 'glory' under the Third Reich under the guidance of 'professional' Nazis.

EVOLUÇÃO DO REGIME POLÍTICO E SUA RELAÇÃO COM O PROBLEMA DA CONCRETIZAÇÃO DOS DIREITOS FUNDAMENTAIS NO SISTEMA CONSTITUCIONAL DE 1988EVOLUTION OF POLITICAL REGIME AND ITS RELATION TO THE PROBLEM OF REALIZATION OF FUNDAMENTAL RIGHTS IN 1988’S CONSTITUTIONAL SYSTEM

Constitutional System

Neste ensaio, defende-se que o contraste entre o sistema constitucional de 1988 e os pretéritos, sobretudo o imediatamente anterior (Ditadura Militar), permite constatar a instauração de um regime político democrático. Diz-se que esse regime apresenta-se como condição para que os direitos fundamentais possam evoluir no sentido de sua concretização constitucional. Mas, à implementação de liberdade de expressão, não se seguiu a concretização dos direitos relacionados com a segurança, a liberdade de locomoção e o devido processo legal nem uma revolução educacional. Por outro lado, o sistema constitucional não se manteve estático. Uma elite política que precisa prestar contas a um eleitorado periodicamente é pressionada a dar respostas aos anseios desse eleitorado. Algumas ações governamentais revestem-se desse sentido. Entretanto, uma evolução nesse sentido não poderia limitar-se à simples dinâmica eleitoral, até porque existem aí diversas distor-ções, decorrentes da relativa fraqueza da opinião pública.

Counter Current

An approach utilizing the automodel properties in describing the hydrodynamic behaviour of counter-current columns has been extended to regularly stacked beds. Two new kinds of the packing have been investigated: The so-called K-packing, developed in the German Democratic Republic and the Cellular packing, developed in Poland. The results of experiments have been presented in the form of plots of the normalized liquid hold-up, hp, versus the normalized liquid velocity, Ql, and two empirical correlations. A comparison with previous results with randomly packed counter-current trickle bed columns has also been made.

International Solidarity

AbstractCentral to the official identity of the German Democratic Republic (GDR) was the state's positioning of itself as the antifascist and anti-colonial other to West Germany. This claim was supported by the GDR's extensive programme of international solidarity, which was targeted at causes such as the anti-apartheid movement in South Africa. A paradox existed, however, between the vision of a universal proletariat that underpinned the discourse of solidarity and the decidedly more exclusive construct of socialist identity that was fostered in the GDR itself. In this article, I explore some of the processes of othering that were embedded in solidarity narratives by focusing on two quite contrasting musical outputs that were produced in the name of solidarity: the LP Kämpfendes Vietnam, which was released on the Amiga record label in 1967, and the Deutsche Staatsoper's 1973 production of Ernst Hermann Meyer's anti-apartheid opera, Reiter der Nacht.
