Immer wenn ich einen Bahnhof betrete oder in einem Zug sitze (also mehrfach die Woche), muss ich an Wolfgang Schivelbusch (1941–2023) denken. Nicht nur sein Buch zur Geschichte der Eisenbahnreise hat meine Wahrnehmung verändert. Er möge in Frieden ruhen! faz.net/aktuell/feuilleton/b…

Zum Tod von Wolfgang Schivelbusch

An den Dingen entlang und dem Vergleich zwischen Deutschland und Amerika: Der Kulturhistoriker Wolfgang Schivelbusch ist mit 81 Jahren in Berlin verstorben.

Excited to share that my article “Nazi Germany in the Viewfinder: On Space and Movement in German-Jewish Youth Culture” has just appeared in Naharaim 16, 2! It features my favorite find: a photo of the young Abraham Sieff hitchhiking around Bonn and Cologne in 1937.

freud’s jokes and their relation to the unconscious is a great book because it’s mostly just him telling his favorite jokes, interspersed with commentary like “this is an excellent joke” or “unfortunately this next one is yet another jewish joke”

This is the Bialetti Moka Express – it came out in 1933 and revolutionised the way of making coffee at home. The octagonal and aluminium Art Deco design has remained the same since its introduction. ☕ Do you own a Bialetti?
