[workingclasshistory]

On this day, 4 March 1943, nine members of the German Jewish communist resistance group led by Herbert Baum were executed by guillotine in Berlin for an arson attack on a Nazi anti-communist exhibition. Those killed included (pictured, clockwise from top left) Marianne Prager-Joachim, Siegbert Rotholz, Hildegard Loewy, Hanni Meyer, Heinz Birnbaum and Lothar Salinger, as well as Hella Hirsch, Helmuth Neumann, and Heinz Rotholz.

May 2024 Books

The Hotel Under the Sand by Kage Baker (reread)

I always enjoy this one. It has a lot of Oz-like charm.

The Master Key by L. Frank Baum (reread)

I was going to try to say some clever things about the ending of this book, but I'm tired, so the short version is that the protagonist is given a series of eletrically powered gifts from the Demon of Electricity (more like a genie, don't let the name fool you), only to get into various misadventures of the type common to turn-of-the-century boys' stories (with a lot of era-typical attitudes toward non-American or -European peoples and cultures that did not age well) and finally give back the gifts and insist that mankind isn't ready for such power and "it's no fun being a century ahead." I wasn't the biggest fan of the protagonist (rather a jerk), and the story was less interesting to me than the historical context and what it demonstrated of perspectives toward technology at the beginning of the twentieth century. Baum has some interesting concepts in this one, but there's a reason that it hasn't really stood the test of time.

Heart of the Curiosity by H. L. Burke (reread)

I did not care for this one. I do not recommend it.

Archer's Goon by Diana Wynne Jones (reread)

I love this book so much, and I needed to revisit it. I love the characters. I love the twists and turns even though I know they're already coming. *SPOILERS* This time I was struck particularly by Torquil and Hathaway's reconciliation--Torquil has been avoiding his brother after a disagreement, expecting animosity, but then when they finally reunite, Hathaway is just so happy to see his brother and invites him to visit anytime and it's like the grievances never happened, and in a family as dysfunctional as theirs, this is a huge step in the right direction and a very beautiful moment.

Unexpected Magic by Diana Wynne Jones

Collection of short stories and a novella. Inventive in the Jones style, but I didn't get attached enough to any of the stories to have any likelihood of picking this one up again.

Pauline by Margaret Storey (reread)

I've been revisiting some books in light of the CEN discussion in the recent paper. This one doesn't really deal with CEN, but it does portray psychological/emotional abuse quite vividly (the antagonist at times reminded me painfully of the professor who tortured me in the Nightmare Class) and point out how damaging it is. There's a memorable scene in which a trusted adult whom Pauline turns to for help mentions to someone that Pauline has been mistreated by a family. "Is he beating her?" the other person asks. The reply: "Not physically." The acknowledgement that psychological/emotional abuse is just as hurtful and damaging in its own way as the physical kind is quite a statement for a book published in the 1960s.

Last month I reread a book also published in that decade that openly acknowledged the problems with CEN and how it's a cycle that runs in families, and I'm starting to think that that era was a point when some people were starting to more clearly see the negative effects that the likely prevalence of CEN in previous generations especially in particular classes (e.g. upper-class Victorian/Edwardian upbringings) had had. I don't know what to do with this theory, but I will continue to mull it over.

Marianne Dreams by Catherine Storr (reread)

This book isn't going to be everyone's cup of tea, but I do love it a lot and I'll probably be yelling about its adaptations at some point.

All Systems Red by Martha Wells (reread)

Listen, I love Murderbot but 90% of the time I have no idea what's going on in these books since sci-fi jargon is mostly beyond me. But I was given my own copy of this book a while back and reread it, more slowly so I could wrap my mind around it better, and definitely got more out of it.

System Collapse by Martha Wells

I had to take this one slowly, but it was worth it. I love the direction that it took, with Murderbot getting involved in producing a film designed to emotionally appeal to people who are in danger of choosing an option that will result in their being enslaved--Murderbot needs the chance to work on processing its trauma, as reluctant as it is to deal with emotion, and working on the film is a big step toward catharsis.

Mother Carey's Chickens by Kate Douglas Wiggin (reread)

This one does have its charm, although I've always found it short on plot and character development (Wiggin has a habit of telling things that should have been shown, beyond the typical style of that era), but this time I had some issues with authorial favoritism toward certain characters, which you've probably already heard the rant about.

MARIANNE BAUM // ANTI NAZI ACTIVIST

“She was a German communist and anti-Nazi. She was executed after an attack on a propaganda show in Berlin. The Baums formed a Communist-Jewish resistance group "Gruppe Herbert Baum" in Berlin. The Herbert Baum Group became a successful resistance organization separate from the mainstream communist party, and planned and executed a successful attack on an anti-Communist propaganda exhibition in Berlin titled "Soviet Paradise". The attack on May 18, 1942, led to the arrest of the group's members. She and eight other activists were executed by guillotine in August 1942.”

Gemeinsam grün – Naturpark Hohe Mark und Kreis Wesel pflanzen Winterlinde am Kreishaus

Am Mittwoch, 8. November 2023, haben Landrat Ingo Brohl, Vorstand für den Bereich Umwelt Helmut Czichy, Winfried Letzner von der Unteren Naturschutzbehörde Kreis Wesel, Geschäftsführerin des Naturparks Hohe Mark Dagmar Beckmann und Marianne Teltrop, stellvertretende Geschäftsführerin des Naturparks Hohe Mark, eine Winterlinde (Tilia cordata) vor dem Kreishaus Wesel gepflanzt. Die Pflanzaktion wird vom Landschaftsverband Rheinland gefördert und findet im Rahmen des Projekts „Gemeinsam grün – Naturparke im Rheinland pflanzen zusammen“ statt. Die sechs rheinischen Naturparke möchten gemeinsam ein Zeichen für den Ausbau der grünen Infrastruktur in den Naturparken setzen. Ziel ist es, eine Vergrößerung und Aufwertung der Grünflächen als Teil der Erhaltung, Pflege und Entwicklung der Kulturlandschaft zu erreichen. Landrat Ingo Brohl freut sich über den neuen Baum, der nun vor dem Kreishaus wächst. „Die Winterlinde ist in der kulturellen Tradition am Niederrhein verankert. Sie gehört zu den hier typischen Haus- und Hofbäumen und ist eine wichtige Nahrungsquelle für heimische Insekten.“ Die Germanen stellten die Linde unter den Schutz der Fruchtbarkeitsgöttin Freya und auch in der mittelalterlichen Sage über Siegfried von Xanten spielt das Lindenblatt eine wesentliche Rolle. Der Baum wird bis zu 25 Meter hoch und kann bis zu 1.000 Jahre alt werden. Er verträgt das städtische Klima und verbessert es nachhaltig. Dies liegt daran, dass die Winterlinde ein bedeutender „Luftfilter“ ist: Das klimaschädliche CO2 wird in Sauerstoff sowie in Kohlenstoff aufgespalten, der in der Pflanzenmasse auf Dauer gebunden wird. Zur Pflanzaktion gehört außerdem das Heft „Zusammen wachsen“, das sich an Kinder im Grundschulalter richtet. Erzählt wird die Geschichte von Regenwurm Rick, der von seinem Komposter zunächst in einem Hochbeet und später auf einer Streuobstwiese landet. Dagmar Beckmann, Geschäftsführerin des Naturparks Hohe Mark freut sich über das Heft, und lädt die Kinder ein: „Macht mit und entdeckt mit Rick Wissenswertes über die Pflanzenwelt in unserem Naturpark.“ Das Heft ist in den Tourist Infos der Naturparkgemeinden und zum Download auf der Homepage des Naturparks www.naturpark-hohe-mark.de  unter Broschüren erhältlich. Seit nunmehr 60 Jahren verbindet der Naturpark Hohe Mark den nördlichen Bereich der Metropole Ruhr mit dem Münsterland und dem Niederrhein. Im Kreis Wesel liegen die Kommunen Hamminkeln, Hünxe und Schermbeck sowie Teilbereiche von Dinslaken und Wesel im Naturpark. „Ein Beispiel für die gelungene Zusammenarbeit in der regionalen Kulturlandschaftsentwicklung mit dem Naturpark Hohe Mark,“ so Helmut Czichy, „ist der nur wenige Meter vom Baumpflanzort entfernt am Rhein beginnende Hohe Mark Steig, der als zertifizierter Qualitätswanderweg über insgesamt 150 Kilometer quer durch den Naturpark von hier bis nach Olfen verläuft.“ BU v.l.: Marianne Teltrop (stellv. Geschäftsführerin des Naturparks Hohe Mark), Guido Wolsing (Bauhof Kreis Wesel), Vorstandsmitglied Helmut Czichy, Dagmar Beckmann (Geschäftsführerin des Naturparks Hohe Mark) und Landrat Ingo Brohl pflanzten eine Winterlinde vor dem Kreishaus in Wesel.

If I did write more papers and it didn't matter what media I analyzed: potential topics

The Secret Garden is about healing from emotional neglect, not from grief/loss, and why this is important

Putting The Secret Garden and Marianne Dreams in conversation with each other (and maybe throw Tom's Midnight Garden in the mix too for good measure)

Tenthragon and what exactly is going on psychologically with this incredibly messed-up family

Archer's Goon and family dynamics

Diana Wynne Jones's pattern of stories about empowering exploited protagonists, and the one time she reverses this theme

Enemy Brothers and Avatar: The Last Airbender and intrapersonal moral conflicts of young people raised/brainwashed in toxic cultures

Military children and their equivalents in children's literature/media: themes of disconnection and looking for a home

The Mysterious Benedict Society and the concept of multiple intelligences

Multiple POVs as a literary device for building empathy, as exemplified in The Candymakers

Button-Bright from the Oz books is neurodivergent--but in what way and what is Baum saying with this creative choice

Young Justice 1998 and adolescence as a time of confronting mortality

Young Justice 1998 and exploited children/teenagers: purposes for this creative choice, implications, themes, etc. (which leads us into...)

DC's use of clone characters to explore themes of identity, individuality, and overcoming abuse (with varying degrees of success)

DC's treatment of sexually abused boys/men and its problematic implications
