Document Summary
People start to write cultural history: anthropology and other fields. Culture starts to mean what english lord raglan calls it: everything we do that monkeys don"t . Transfer: non-coercive transfer of ideas, tastes, artifacts into and out of germany. Earlier we talked about german forestry and philosophy being transferred across the globe. Richard haldane laid the basis for english expeditionary forces in germany: studied in gottingen, read hegel"s phenomenology of spirit 19 times, brits called him schopenhauer, rather negatively (schopenhauer was a german philosopher) The university as a model travels around the world: most professors of chemistry in england had received their phds in germany, 10,000 british phd students in german universities in the 19th century. Powerful avant-garde: german avant-garde draws from scandinavian traditions, french avant-garde also enters the world of german artists during the 19th century. The blue rider group and the bridge group: the modernism of weimar culture is well in place before world war i, munich.
