This new era is characterized by the proclaimed end of Western hegemony - by the proclaimed end of European history as global, universal history. This era, our era, understands itself as the time after the domination of the West, a time or multiple times of "post": the time of postcolonialism, but also postmodernity, postsecularism, posthumanism. The times of "post" are characterized by a fundamental reconfiguration of the relations between European civilization and its Others, first and foremost by the proclaimed split between Europe and its Others, and more generally by the disintegration, disruption and dispersion of the - allegedly - unified space of culture, knowledge and discourse. The postcolonial era is an era of diversity and difference, an era of dispersions and diasporas, where the space of culture is a space of multiple cultures, a space of in-between, of "inter": the space of the intercultural, but also the interreligious, interethnic, interracial and inter-epistemic. This conference will reflect on the "inter" in the time of "post". We invited scholars, thinkers, intellectuals and artists to discuss various aspects and models of intercultural dynamics that have been developed and articulated in the aftermath of the Algerian War or of other events that marked the decline of Western hegemony, such as the Second Vatican, May 1968 or the Vietnam War. How did the age of decolonization reshape the discourse and practice of intercultural relations? To what extent interculturality itself is a sign or a site of decolonization? To what extent, on the contrary, intercultural relations may reproduce colonial or generate neocolonial patterns? Contributions examine the emergence of intercultural notions and practices in various intellectual traditions, European or non-European; the development of new categories and constellations of identity, otherness and dialogue; the interrelations between epistemic, cultural, discursive, religious and political aspects; as well as reactions to these new developments and various forms of critique and resistance. We are especially interested in how this reflection may shed light on socio-political and cultural phenomena, trends and concerns of the present time.}, language = {en} } @misc{Zakrzewski2022, author = {Zakrzewski, Tanja}, title = {Rezension zu: Poettering, Jorun: Migrating Merchants - Trade, Nation, and Religion in Seventeenth-Century Hamburg and Portugal . - Berlin: De Gryter, 2018. - 397 S. - ISBN: 978-3-11-047001-7}, series = {Comparativ: Zeitschrift f{\"u}r Globalgeschichte und vergleichende Gesellschaftsforschung}, volume = {2}, journal = {Comparativ: Zeitschrift f{\"u}r Globalgeschichte und vergleichende Gesellschaftsforschung}, publisher = {Universit{\"a}tsverlag}, address = {Leipzig}, issn = {0940-3566}, pages = {289 -- 291}, year = {2022}, language = {en} } @book{OPUS4-64338, title = {Tod und Krise}, editor = {Martin, Katja and Hamann, Anja Maria and Kreibig, Nina}, publisher = {Arijeh Verlag}, address = {Potsdam}, isbn = {978-3-944693-03-3}, pages = {254}, year = {2021}, abstract = {Der Tod wird oftmals als gr{\"o}ßtm{\"o}gliche menschliche Krise wahrgenommen.

Die Beitr{\"a}ge sind das Ergebnis eines gleichnamigen Symposiums im Jahr 2019. Aus interdisziplin{\"a}rer Perspektive thematisieren Jungforscher:innen Bestattungspraktiken im Krieg und in Seuchenzeiten, setzen sich mit Innovationen im europ{\"a}ischen Bestattungswesen und mit den daraus resultierenden Spannungsverh{\"a}ltnissen auseinander. Sie problematisieren die Repr{\"a}sentationsbed{\"u}rfnisse des Adels im Zusammenhang mit dem Tod und untersuchen Erinnerungskulturen sowie das bewusste Verdr{\"a}ngen von Todeskontexten. Hierbei wird der Fokus auf die Akteur:innen gelegt, deren Intentionen und ihr konkretes Handeln. Krisen fungieren zum einen als Motor f{\"u}r neue Entwicklungen.

Indeed, Soviet prisoners of war were the largest victim group of all National Socialist annihilation policies after the European Jews. Before the launch of Operation Barbarossa, it was clear to the Wehrmacht planning departments on exactly what scale they could expect to capture Soviet troops. Yet, they neglected to make the necessary preparations for feeding and sheltering the captured soldiers, who were viewed by the economic staffs and the military leadership alike as direct competitors of German troops and the German home front for precious food supplies. The number of extra mouths to feed was incompatible with German war aims. The obvious limitations on their freedom of movement and the relative ease with which large numbers could be segregated and their rations controlled were crucial factors in the death of over 3 million Soviet POWs, the vast majority directly or indirectly as a result of deliberate policies of neglect, undernourishment, and starvation while in the 'care' of the Wehrmacht. The most reliable figures for the mortality of Soviet POWs in German captivity reveal that up to 3.3 million died from a total of just over 5.7 million captured between June 1941 and February 1945 — a proportion of almost 58 percent. Of these, 2 million were already dead by the beginning of February 1942. In English, there is still neither a single monograph nor a single edited volume dedicated to the subject.

While they were there, they contributed their labor power to the East German economy.  This book draws on more than 260 life history interviews and uncovers complex and contradictory experiences and transnational encounters. What emerges is a series of dualities that exist side by side in the memories of the former migrants: the state and the individual, work and consumption, integration and exclusion, loss and gain, and the past in the past and the past in the present and future. By uncovering these dualities, the book explores the lives of African migrants moving between the Third and Second worlds.  Devoted to the memories of worker-trainees, this transnational study comes at a time when historians are uncovering the many varied, complicated, and important connections within the global socialist world.}, language = {en} } @article{SchenckWetzel2022, author = {Schenck, Marcia C. and Wetzel, Johanna M.}, title = {Shifting the means of (knowledge) production}, series = {World history connected : the ejournal of learning and teaching ; WHC}, volume = {19}, journal = {World history connected : the ejournal of learning and teaching ; WHC}, number = {3}, publisher = {University of Illinois Press}, address = {Urbana, Ill.}, issn = {1931-8642}, doi = {https://doi.org/10.13021/whc.v19i3}, pages = {39}, year = {2022}, language = {en} } @phdthesis{MahnckeZare2024, author = {Mahncke-Zare, Naghme}, title = {Legitimiertes Unrecht}, doi = {10.25932/publishup-63549}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:kobv:517-opus4-635499}, school = {Universit{\"a}t Potsdam}, pages = {316}, year = {2024}, abstract = {Das Oberste Gericht der DDR war integraler Bestandteil der sozialistischen Staatsf{\"u}hrung und unterlag strengen Denk- und Organisationsstrukturen.
