Athener Kaffee-Tagebuch: Monastiraki - Römische Agora - Plaka
Machen wir uns auf eine Reise durch drei Jahrtausende! Nirgends in Athen sind die verschiedensten Stadtviertel auf so engem Raum gedrängt. Und jedes repräsentiert ein anderes Zeitalter. Dass wir heute diese Vielfalt erleben dürfen, verdanken wir unter anderem auch König Otto I. von Griechenland und seinem Baumeister Leo von Klenze. Ihnen ist es zuzurechnen, dass als 1834 Athen zur Hauptstadt des…

🏛️A gold great box for the new Kingdom of Bavaria - 📌We are in the throne room of the Königsbau in the Munich’s Residenz, designed by Leo von Klenze and finished around 1830. This big space shows a new power through two things: the greek themes and the gold boiseries. The themes depicted here are from the hellenic odes of Pindar, and were reconstructed after the WWII in refined plaster. Massive lamps were made in Paris in late-empire style, and the furniture by Melchior Frank. 🔍Don’t miss the series that my colleagues @enric and @hakan posted to know all the history of Munich’s Residenz and most important historic and artistic details. - 🎵 Egmont (overture), Op. 84, incidental music for a Johann Wolfgang von Goethe tragedy.

Assignment #4
Michel Serres, Statues.
1. What does Serres compare to the 1986 explosion of the rocket Challenger?
He compares it to car accidents, though they are not typically exploited in the way the Challenger was.
2. What does television do to an ‘event’ like the explosion of the Challenger?
It makes it into a spectacle for people to exploit.
3. What does Serres claim is the ‘essential thing’ that remains in our reshowing of the images of the explosion?
“This need to start again, rerun, repeat, re-present the rite, the tragedy in which the dead do not play at dying but truly die.”
4. What have we learned about exclusion?
It brings us back to the sacred because the gesture of expulsion precisely characterizes sacrifice.
5. How many road deaths in France per year, according to Serres?
A little more than 10,000 per year.
Joan Connolly, The Parthenon Enigma pages 1- 125 before we arrive in Athens.

2. Who banned all polytheistic statuary?
King Theodosius I.
3. Who was enthroned on the Acropolis and dedicated a reconstruction of the Parthenon? What would be removed?
King Otto, Leo von Klenze advocated a reconstruction and for all traces of the Ottoman Empire to be wiped out.
Sigmund Freud, Civilization and its Discontents. Pp. 11- 20.
1. What does he conclude when Freud suggests, “now let us, by a flight of imagination, suppose that Rome is not a human habitation but a psychical entity with a similarly long and copious past”?
He suggests that nothing is really gone and that things are remembered through the memorials.

9-Euro-Ticket-Tours: Walhalla
Anfang des 19. Jahrhunderts war Europa im Umbruch. Und das betraf auch Bayern. Nach Niederlagen gegen Napoleon zerbrach das Heilige Römische Reich deutscher Nationen. Viele deutsche Fürsten arbeiteten, notgedrungen oder freiwillig, im Rheinbund mit den Franzosen zusammen. Das Kurfürstentum Bayern war seit 1805 mit Frankreich verbündet, wurde von Napoleon zum Königreich erhoben, und im Vierten…
