These essays rethink the nature of Stalinism and Nazism and establish a new methodology for viewing their histories that goes well beyond outdated twentieth-century models of totalitarianism, ideology, and personality. They offer a new understanding of the intertwined trajectories of socialism and nationalism in European and global history.
Broken glass, twisted beams, piles of debris--these are the early memories of the children who grew up amidst the ruins of the Third Reich. More than five decades later, German youth inhabit manicured suburbs and stroll along prosperous pedestrian malls. Shattered Past is a bold reconsideration of the perplexing pattern of Germany's twentieth-century history. Konrad Jarausch and Michael Geyer explore the staggering gap between the country's role in the terrors of war and its subsequent success as a democracy. They argue that the collapse of Communism, national reunification, and the postmodern shift call for a new reading of the country's turbulent development, one that no longer suggests continuity but rupture and conflict. Comprising original essays, the book begins by reexamining the nationalist, socialist, and liberal master narratives that have dominated the presentation of German history but are now losing their hold. Treated next are major issues of recent debate that suggest how new kinds of German history might be written: annihilationist warfare, complicity with dictatorship, the taming of power, the impact of migration, the struggle over national identity, redefinitions of womanhood, and the development of consumption as well as popular culture. The concluding chapters reflect on the country's gradual transition from chaos to civility. This penetrating study will spark a fresh debate about the meaning of the German past during the last century. There is no single master narrative, no Weltgeist, to be discovered. But there is a fascinating story to be told in many different ways.

Nachdem der Atomkrieg vorbei war, hat sich die stark dezimierte Menschheit ein neues Paradies aufgebaut und in unterschiedliche Länder aufgeteilt. Der technische Fortschritt ist kaum aufzuhalten, so dass die Grenzen zwischen Wahrheit, Fiktion und den Ländern immer mehr verschwimmen. Als Emelie und Joe sich das erste Mal begegnen, ahnen sie noch nicht, dass sie in den nächsten Monaten tief in ein Geflecht aus Lügen, Intrigen, Egoismus und falschen Emotionen eintauchen werden. Während sie sich emotional näher kommen, müssen sie ihr ganzes Verständnis von der Welt, wie sie sie kennengelernt haben, über den Haufen werfen und am Ende eine grundlegende Entscheidung für die Zukunft treffen.

Bachelor Thesis from the year 2009 in the subject Communications - Movies and Television, grade: 2, St. Pölten University of Applied Sciences (Department IT & Medien Medientechnik), language: English, abstract: Campus TV, short “C-TV” is the name of 30 minutes of TV program, which students of the St. Pölten University of Applied Sciences Media Technology produce every month. All work in C-TVs productions is done by students. Every year, the most experienced students leave the C-TV team, because they have successfully finished the education at the St. Pölten University of Applied Sciences Media Technology. As a result a lot of important knowledge leaves with these students. Every year a new team of students starts to work at C-TV and all necessary things for producing 30 minutes of TV have to be learned again. Next to editing, or sound mixing which students learn during the education at the St. Pölten University of Applied Sciences Media Technology the important part of color correction often stays behind. Unlike editing, shooting, sound mixing or recording, color correcting is not a subject at the St. Pölten University of Applied Sciences Media Technology. As a result most of CTVs productions since C-TV has started its productions, two years ago, did not have any color correction. Facing these facts, this work aims to be a color correction guide for Apples Final Cut Pro. The software Final Cut Pro is used for editing in C-TVs workflow. Final Cut Pro also offers inbuilt color correction software, which is powerful enough to fulfill all needs to make C-TVs productions suitable for broadcast. The work starts off with a brief overview of color science explaining color spaces and technical background knowledge on video formats. Then the author explains how to use Final Cut Pro`s color correction tools from a beginner level on. All necessary tools, buttons, and sliders, for color correction in Final Cut Pro are explained. The author uses practical examples, illustrated with pictures how to use Final Cut Pros color correction tools. Based on examples the work shows common mistakes, during shooting and gives ideas to solve these with color correction. Using examples of different movies the work illustrates how to create different color looks.
