Three decades after the unsuccessful 1913-1914 strike at the Lake District copper mines of Michigan, workers organized as Local 584 of the International Union of Mine, Mill, and Smelter Workers (Mine Mill) signed a union contract with Calumet & Hecla Consolidated Copper Company. C & H was the last and most significant of the region’s three major copper mining companies to unionize during the three-year period from 1939 to 1942. This paper tells the untold history of the successful union drives in the Lake District’s copper mines, starting with Copper Range Company in 1939 and encompassing the subsequent unionizations of Quincy Mining Company and finally C & H. The paper develops thematic connections between the 1913-1914, including Mine Mill’s lineage to the Western Federation of Miners, parallel ethnic dimensions, and, most significantly, the contrasting role of state authority between the two time periods. The paper carries the Lake District’s labor history forward to 1955 to include United Steelworkers’ successful challenge to Mine Mill in 1950 and the strike of 1955. This history also incorporates source material from the papers of highly influential union organizer and representative Eugene Saari, material which to date has not been integrated into the labor history of the region. This paper has not yet been submitted.

The Salt Chuck, Rush and Brown, and adjacent mines and claims form an area of approximately 15 square miles near the head of Kasaan Bay about 10 miles northwest of the village of Kasaan on Prince of Wales Island in southeastern Alaska. It is an area of moderate relief in which the hills rise from the water’s edge to heights of some 500 feet. Most of the area is covered with dense vegetation and muskeg.

Though migration is an age-old feature of human activity, driven by various circumstances, its current place in the midst of global dynamics and the phenomenon of globalization is becoming increasingly critical. International immigration and its regulation have been largely shaped by the policies in the receiving countries, often determining preferences for nationality cohorts and work skills to satisfy their labor and human capital requirements. When immigration has been necessitated by political strife, host countries have displayed immense magnanimity as well. However, the growing realization of resource limitations and the strange quirks of cultural pluralism are in turn creating waves of dissonance. Literature and the media are now replete with an in depth look into the immigration debate in various nations of the world in trying to seek new directions and satisfactory solutions.

Der Beitrag untersucht anhand der Rezeption von zwei exemplarischen Don Karlos-Inszenierungen, die beide in politisch markanten Jahren der österreichischen Geschichte ihre Premiere erlebten, die Funktionalisierung der Institution Burgtheater in Verbindung mit der Funktionalisierung des Dramatikers Friedrich Schiller für eben diese Institution. Eine Neueinstudierung erfolgte 1938, dem Jahr von Österreichs ‚Anschluss’ an Nazi-Deutschland, die andere 1955, dem Jahr der Unterzeichnung des Österreichischen Staatsvertrages. Beide Don Karlos-Inszenierungen fanden als spezifische Festvorstellungen im Rahmen von Feierlichkeiten rund um die Institution Burgtheater statt. Diente 1938 Schillers Don Karlos dazu, als ‚Schlüsselstück’ der ‚nationalsozialistischen Revolution’ einen politisch-gesellschaftlichen Aufbruch zu markieren, so wurde 1955 die Inszenierung des Dramas zum Triumph einer Schauspielerelite, deren Können sich in die konstruierte Tradition eines k.k. ‚Schauspieleradels’ einreihte. Während 1938 der ‚nationale Dichter’ dem ‚heimgekehrten’ Nationaltheater zum ästhetischen ‚Anschluss’ verhalf, diente der ‚überzeitliche’ Klassiker 1955 dazu, eine ästhetische ‚Wiedergeburt’ zu behaupten, die dem restaurativen Kunst- und Kulturbegriff Nachkriegsösterreichs verpflichtet war.
