Abstract

The book "Wissenschaftliches Arbeiten an deutschen Universitäten" by Schäfer and Heinrich has been published in its second edition and is specifically aimed at foreign students in the humanities and social sciences. It provides practical assistance with exercises and fills a gap in the literature on academic work, as it is explicitly targeted at foreign students. The book covers various aspects of academic work, such as note-taking, presenting, and writing a written academic paper. It also includes exercises and examples to help students. Although the book has some shortcomings, it can be recommended as long as there is no better work available for the target audience. [Extracted from the article]

14. Nuevo Verismo and Testimonio in the XXth Century Latin American Literature

Abstract

The global trend towards decentralization of discourse and the shifting focus from the centre to the periphery has revealed itself in the late XXth century Latin American literature in the form of testimonio, a hybrid genre which combines nonfiction documentary material with artistic recreation. The first book written in this genre was Biography of a Runaway Slave by a Cuban writer Miguel Barnet. Many more works appeared in the following decades (1970–80s) including some of the best-known examples of this genre such as Let Me Speak: Testimony of Domitila, A Woman of the Bolivian Mines by M. Viezzer, I, Rigoberta Menchu by E. Burgos as well as guerrilla chronicles by O. Cabezas and S. Ramirez. In the most general terms, testimonio can be defined as a nonfictional first-person account of oppression. Just like the writers of the Boom, the authors of testimonial literature have developed their own artistic method – nuevo verismo. This term was coined in 1978 by a prominent Columbian writer and critic Carlos Rincón. Nuevo verismo changes the way we view documentary in quite a dramatic way. With its factuality and truthfulness of the material, it becomes a powerful artistic device which defines the way in which this material is presented. The purpose of the paper is to examine this new method and highlight its characteristic features. A special attention is paid to the composition of the testimonio, its narrative structure and stylistic devices.

*CIVILIZATION, *NONFICTION
Abstract

Oswald Spengler (1880-1936) was one of the most influential philosophers of history between WW I and WW II. His book "The Decline of the West" (1918) made him famous. In this book Spengler attested that the phase of the West as a productive culture is over and that the phase of civilization has started. In the years after the publication of his main work Spengler started to get more and more interested in Ancient History in its broadest sense. He argued against a Eurocentric view of history and suggested to reconsider our common understanding of history and its epochs. In the last part of the paper I try to show how Spengler conceptualized his universal history by the example of a lecture given by him on the war chariot and its influence on world history.

MEMORY, CULTURE, NONFICTION
Abstract

This book of collected papers, published by the DFG-Sonderforschungsbereich Erinnerungskulturen ("Memory Cultures") at the Justus Liebig University of Gießen, gives a broad overview of approaches and results of memory research within various disciplines. Despite many interesting insights, the book offers no general framework by which the different aspects analyzed by the authors could be classified and related to one another. Thus, the shortcomings of memory studies, from a cultural perspective and understood as an interdisciplinary, multidimensional research program, become visible. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
