Montag, 1. März 2010, 19 Uhr Die Thomas-Dehler-Stiftung und die Friedrich-Naumann-Stiftung für die Freiheit stellen die nicht unumstrittene Romanautorin und in Amerika überaus populäre Philosophin anhand der Kurzfassung eines Hörspiels vor und nehmen Einblick in eine der sicherlich radikalsten aller Freiheitslehren: Egoismus als höchste Tugend, Individualismus als absolutes Prinzip, Laissez-faire-Kapitalismus als Ideal. Das WDR-Hörspiel „Armut ist Diebstahl“ stellt die Frage, was uns eine reine, kapitalistische Utopie heute sagen kann, während Banken enteignet werden und der Staat die Wirtschaft retten soll. Leslie Rosin, geboren 1969, studierte Medienwissenschaft in Berlin und London. Sie arbeitete frei als Radioautorin und Regisseurin. Von 1999 bis 2003 arbeitete sie als Hörspieldramaturgin bei Eins Live. Seit 1999 ist sie als Featureredakteurin und Hörspieldramaturgin beim WDR tätig. Lorenz Schröter, geboren 1960 in München, schreibt Romane, Hörspiele und Features und lebt in Berlin. Früher lief er auf Demonstrationen, heute Marathon. Er radelte um die Welt, besuchte 113 Länder, bestieg 2 hohe Berge und zog schließlich mit 1 Esel durch Deutschland. Veranstalter: Friedrich-Naumann-Stiftung für die Freiheit, Thomas-Dehler-Stiftung

It is 1890's England and two young gentlemen are being somewhat limited with the truth. To inject some excitement into their lives, Mr. Worthing invents a brother, Ernest, as an excuse to leave his dull country life behind him to pursue the object of his desire, the ravishing Gwendolyn. While across town Algernon Montecrieff decides to take the name Ernest, when visiting Worthing's young ward Cecily. The real fun and confusion begins when the two end up together and their deceptions are in danger of being revealed. Organizers: American Drama Group Europe, B.A.Z.

There will be a wine-tasting before the reading courtesy of WineDelight where you will get to sample various wines from Canadian wineries with the opportunity to purchase those you enjoyed most. After the reading, there will be music provided by Canadian actor and musical theatre star, Frank Moore. The bar will be open and you can meet and talk to the author.

Amerika Haus Thursday, 18 March 2010, 9 a.m.–1 p.m. Speaker: Dr. Markus Hünemörder, LMU München This seminar will explore political humor in U.S. society from the American Revolution to the present day. It will focus on political cartoons, e.g. those of Thomas Nast (who invented the modern political cartoon in the 1870s), Gary Trudeau (whose daily strip Doonesbury helped define American politics in the 1970s), and Tom Toles (the Washington Post’s present lead cartoonist).

The changing perception of the American family reflects how Americans perceive themselves, their nation, and the world. The changing roles of men, women, and children within the family circle have had a major impact on public policy, the economy, and on race and gender relations. What are these changes? Why have they occurred? Are we ready for a new definition of what constitutes a family? David Goldfield is the Robert Lee Professor of History at University of North Carolina. He has been the Editor for the Sage Journal of Urban History for several years and has authored numerous books, of which two were nominated for a Pulitzer Prize.

Amerika Haus Tuesday, 13 April 2010, 9 a.m.–1 p.m. Speaker: Wolf Seiler, M.A., LMU München The idea of youth and adolescence as separate stages of life was invented in the late nineteenth century in the wake of industrialization and urbanization. It became prominent as a social and cultural phenomenon after World War II. Media and marketing agencies in the prospering Western societies quickly discovered teenagers and their newly gained spending power as consumers. Self-conscious of their new status, young people soon cultivated different styles, musical tastes, and oppositional ideas, and organized in distinct youth subcultures. This seminar will provide an introduction to the concept of youth subculture and some of its basic theoretical assumptions. We will take a closer look at a variety of historical and contemporary American youth subcultures such as Gangs, the Beat Generation, Hip Hop, or Punk. They will not only be placed within their respective historical contexts, but we will also touch upon issues such as race, class, gender, identity, resistance, and commercialization.

The year 2010 marks the 175th anniversary of Mark Twain's birth (November 20, 1835) and the 100th anniversary of his death (April 21, 1910). One of the leading scholars on Twain, Gary Scharnhorst, will discuss Mark Twain as a modern author and will explain his continuing relevance. Twain’s humor contributes to this continuing readability and his analytical comments on race and imperialism seem as relevant today as they were in the late 19th and early 20th century. Gary Scharnhorst is Distinguished Professor of English at the University of New Mexico, and author or editor of 35 books, including Mark Twain: The Complete Interviews (2007). He is editor of the scholarly journal American Literary Realism and has received five Fulbright teaching awards that brought him to Germany. Organizer: B.A.Z.

Kalifornien ist „Amerikas Amerika“ - hier ist der Traum vom Aufstieg, Wohlstand und Glück noch greifbarer als im Rest des Landes. Aber Kalifornien hat auch seine dunklen Ecken: Seine Geschichte der Diskriminierung, vor allem der Asiaten, der Ausbeutung der Farmarbeiter, der Rassenkonflikte und der politischen Paralyse werfen Schatten auf das Image dieses Staates als Hort der Innovation und des Experimentierens. Stephan Bierling beleuchtet die vielfältigen Facetten des größten US-Bundesstaats in seinem Vortrag. Stephan Bierling ist Professor für Internationale Politik mit dem Schwerpunkt Transatlantische Beziehungen an der Universität Regensburg. Er hatte zahlreiche Gastprofessuren an renommierten Universitäten in den USA und Israel, u.a. auch in Kalifornien. Er beschäftigt sich mit den Themenfeldern deutsche und amerikanische Außen- und Wirtschaftspolitik. Seine Kleine Geschichte Kaliforniens ist 2006 bei C.H. Beck erschienen. Dies ist die erste Veranstaltung einer California-Reihe im Amerika Haus, die sich in den nächsten Monaten dem bevölkerungsreichsten US-Bundesstaat widmen wird. Weitere Informationen finden Sie im nächsten Programmheft oder in Kürze auf unserer Website. Wednesday, 21 April 2010, 7–8 p.m. Would you like to practice speaking English in a relaxed atmosphere?
