The unfinished promise of infrastructure in post‐apartheid South Africa
This article explores aspects of the “unfinished” using notions of human‐centered design in African public infrastructure and the importance of involving the “users” and “beneficiaries” in infrastructure development and delivery. Infrastructure, both conceptually as an idea and in its constructed material reality, has a huge impact on society, socially and economically, and has been promised as one of the most effective drivers of economic growth…
Fridericus Films in Weimar Society: Potsdamismus in a Democracy
In the Early Novels of Friedrich Spielhagen: The Making of a German Democrat
Looking for the German Revolution in Weimar Films
“O Gott, o Gott—ist das Revolution?” a wide-eyed Frau Dreissiger asks her husband, her pearl necklaces rising and falling with her heaving bosom, as chants of the angry crowd of weavers penetrate the sequestered drawing room.

These connections - and the values and assumptions behind them - are the focus of this study. In creating these connections as fictional representations of their society, Berl…

Conrad Alberti's "Kampf ums Dasein": The Writer in Imperial Berlin
Images of German Youth in Weimar Novels
Where does youth stand?' More than the title of a pamphlet by Leopold Dingrave, this was a question raised throughout the uncertain years of the Weimar republic. Sensing a profound failure in their own capacities, many adult members of German society embraced the idea that youth would be the regenerative force in their nation. But what might be expected from this young generation who, while untouched by responsibility for Germany's downfall, had …
