Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2012 im Fachbereich Kulturwissenschaften - Sonstiges, Note: 2,0, Johannes Gutenberg-Universität Mainz (Fachbereich für Sprache, Kultur, Translation), Veranstaltung: Nationalismus als erfolgreiches Identitätskonzept, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Die vorliegende Arbeit untersucht die Darstellung des nationalen Arminius/Hermann Mythos in Denkmälern zu Anfang des 19. Jahrhunderts im Rahmen des Nationsbildungsprozesses. Der Schwerpunkt der Arbeit liegt bei der Symbolik und der Ikonografie, d.h. sie fragt einerseits, was symbolisiert Hermann für die Angehörigen der Nationalbewegung, und andererseits, wie wird er dargestellt. Dieser Zeitraum wurde ausgesucht, weil er den Anfang des deutschen Nationalbewusstseins und des Nationsbildungsprozesses darstellt. Für die Analyse der Ikonografie in Denkmälern werden folgende Beispiele herangezogen: das Detmolder Hermannsdenkmal und die Darstellung der Arminiusschlacht im nördlichen Giebelfeld der Walhalla. Dabei muss man zunächst auf die Frage eingehen, was nationale Mythen sind und welche Rolle sie in der Nationalbewegung zu Beginn des 19. Jahrhunderts spielen. Es wird der aktuelle Forschungsstand zum Mythos anhand von Autoren wie Miroslav Hroch, Monika Flacke, Etienne François, Hagen Schulze und Hans Ulrich Wehler berücksichtigt. Danach stellt die Arbeit die Geschichte des Arminius vor und beschreibt, wie er zum Mythos und am Anfang des 19. Jahrhunderts ein Teil des nationalen Selbstbewusstseins wurde. Sie zeigt auch, wie Hermann Anfang des 19. Jahrhunderts durch die Vertreter der Nationalbewegung in der Literatur dargestellt wurde. Die Symbolik wird anhand verschiedener Gedichte aus der Zeit der Napoleonischen Kriege und der Revolution von 1848 analysiert, um die Bedeutung des Mythos zu diesem Zeitpunkt zu zeigen. Da in der Lyrik die Emotionen am deutlichsten gezeigt werden, werden daraus die Beispiele für die Bedeutung des Hermannsmythos herangezogen. [...] Diese Arbeit soll an die Rolle der Mythen und insbesondere an den Hermannsmythos im Nationsbildungsprozess der Zeit erinnern, als das Nationskonzept nach und nach entstand und durch gemeinsame Vergangenheit, Werte, Kultur und Symbolfiguren, z. B. Nationalhelden, legitimiert werden musste. Sie wurden als Nationsväter identifiziert, und ihre Tugenden, z. B. ihre Intelligenz, Listigkeit oder Tapferkeit gegen die „Unterdrücker“ und Feinde des Vaterlands, egal ob Römer oder Franzosen, dienten als Verhaltensmuster.

If your family is like mine, time with everyone together is becoming more and more difficult. We all have crazy schedules, and it’s easy to put family time aside for soccer games, school assignments, meetings, chores, and other obligations. Now that some of my children have gone away to college, I realize how fleeting that family time can be, and that there is no substitute for time having fun together, laughing and learning. If you can set aside just one evening a week, with no other purpose than being together, your family will be greatly enriched. You don’t need to plan anything fancy. An easy game, or even just some conversation starters over dinner, is enough to build happy memories. However, sometimes it’s hard to think of something to do that works for all age groups and engages everyone. That is the purpose of this book. Included here are some of my family’s favorite activities, from silly road trip word games to service projects to cooking contests. Organized by season, these ideas have been tested many times over and continue to bring my family many hours of fun. We play the If/Then game on birthdays, and Thanksgiving wouldn''t be the same if we weren''t drawing on paper plates on our heads. I hope these ideas help you plan your own family time and bring you many happy memories as well. --from the Introduction
