Summer Workshop Summer Workshop Summer Workshop Summer Workshop Program Program Program Program

The year 2015 marks the 25th anniversary of the unification of Germany as well as dramatic moments of civil disobedience across the globe. In the same year, for example, Mandela was freed from prison in South Africa and the Persian Gulf War started. The year 2015 is also the 50th anniversary of the end of the Frankfurt Auschwitz Trials in West Germany, a year that saw American troops arriving in Vietnam, the Watts Riots in LA, and Malcolm X’s assassination. These events signify important transitional moments – beginnings and endings – in national and international histories and relations. At the center of each of these moments of civil disobedience are both violence and oppression.

The fourth annual workshop of the Berlin Program for Advanced German and European Studies will look through German eyes at violence, oppression, and civil disobedience on a global scale from the Cold War past to the Neoliberal present. How have Germans—East, West, unified—engaged in or responded to violence and oppression in their own countries/country and abroad since 1945? To what extent does the Second World War or first-hand experience of Communism affect views of and responses to such events, including individual proclivity toward or rejection of civil disobedience? What can we learn from these events about our situation today: Where we are, how we got here, and how our current situation relates to the past and future?

GETTING AROUND IN BERLIN

Public TransportationPublic TransportationPublic TransportationPublic Transportation The Berliner Verkehrsbetriebe The Berliner Verkehrsbetriebe The Berliner Verkehrsbetriebe The Berliner Verkehrsbetriebe ((((BVG)BVG)BVG)BVG) operate the U-Bahn, buses and trams; the Berliner S-Bahn GmbH operates the S-Bahn (light rail).

Both companies are working together, so you can use any ticket for all means of transportation. Berlin consists of three fare zones, A, B, and C. Zones A and B cover

most of the city; you will probably not have to buy a C ticket, unless you plan to go to Potsdam or Schönefeld Airport. On weekends, all U-

Bahn lines and S-Bahn lines run for the whole night (exception: U-Bahn U4) in intervals up to 30 minutes. On weeknight there are special buses generally following the U-Bahn lines, designated as “N”.

• A single fare ticket AB single fare ticket AB single fare ticket AB single fare ticket AB will cost you 2.70€ and allows you to travel for two hours in a single direction.

• A Day Pass Day Pass Day Pass Day Pass is valid for all travel until 3 a.m. the following day and costs 6.70€ for Berlin AB.

• For shorter distances the “KurzstreckeKurzstreckeKurzstreckeKurzstrecke” is valid for six stops on a bus or three stops on an U-Bahn and costs 1.60€.

Taxi/CabTaxi/CabTaxi/CabTaxi/Cab Taxis are beige in color. In general, taking a cab costs a base fee of

3.40€, plus 1.79€ for every kilometer; paying with a credit card carries an extra fee of 1.50€. For very short trips (up to 2 km) there is a special flat rate of 4.00€; applicable only if you stop a moving cab and

specifically ask for the “Kurzstrecke.”

Money, Money, MoneyMoney, Money, MoneyMoney, Money, MoneyMoney, Money, Money ATMs are ubiquitous in Berlin. Around Freie Universität, one ATM by

Sparkasse is located directly at the Seminarzentrum, two others (by Volksbank and Berliner Bank resp.) are at U-Bahnhof Dahlem Dorf. Most ATMs will accept credit cards for withdrawal, note that you have

to have a 4-digit-PIN. The bank will most likely charge you for withdrawing cash.

Cell Phone Use in GermanyCell Phone Use in GermanyCell Phone Use in GermanyCell Phone Use in Germany Be aware that an American cell phone might not work in Germany. Germany, like most of Europe, uses the GSM standard. In general, if

you are on Sprint or Verizon, your phone is not compatible. If you use AT&T or T-Mobile USA there is a chance that you can use your phone.

Please check with your carrier, as sometimes the roaming abroad service has to be enabled.

PickpocketsPickpocketsPickpocketsPickpockets Berlin, like any other city, is prone to the activities of pickpockets and

thieves. Be vigilant in crowded areas, cafes and restaurants. Do not leave your baggage, phones, laptops unattended. Thieves often operate

in groups and employ various techniques to distract their targets.
