  abstract  = {Das Oberste Gericht der DDR war integraler Bestandteil der sozialistischen Staatsf{\"u}hrung und unterlag strengen Denk- und Organisationsstrukturen. Es war eng in die politische Agenda der SED eingebunden und genoss keinerlei Unabh{\"a}ngigkeit. Die Auslegung des DDR-Rechts durch das Gericht orientierte sich ausschließlich an den innen- und außenpolitischen Interessen der SED. Dies galt auch f{\"u}r die Rechtsprechung in F{\"a}llen der Republikflucht und ihrer gesetzlichen Vorl{\"a}ufer. Die h{\"o}chste Gerichtsinstanz im Staat war aktiv an der Gestaltung und Umsetzung der Strafjustiz gegen Republikfl{\"u}chtige beteiligt, was wesentlich zur Festigung der Herrschaftsgewalt der SED beitrug. Die vorliegende Untersuchung analysiert Urteile des Obersten Gerichts im historisch-politischen Kontext und zeigt auf, dass die Urteilspraxis ausschließlich im Interesse parteipolitischer Ziele handelte und weder dem Volk noch der eigentlichen Rechtsfindung verpflichtet war. Des Weiteren wird der maßgebliche Beitrag des Obersten Gerichts an der schrittweisen Kriminalisierung der B{\"u}rger der DDR beleuchtet. Dies wirft ein kritisches Licht auf die Rolle des Rechtssystems bei der Sicherung von Rechtsstaatlichkeit und Menschenrechten in autorit{\"a}ren Regimen.},

  abstract  = {This open access book is about Mozambicans and Angolans who migrated in state-sponsored schemes to East Germany in the late 1970s and throughout the 1980s. They went to work and to be trained as a vanguard labor force for the intended African industrial revolutions. 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.},

  abstract  = {Der Tod wird oftmals als gr{\"o}ßtm{\"o}gliche menschliche Krise wahrgenommen. Doch wie definiert sich Krise im Kontext von Tod und Sterben? Dieser Frage geht der vorliegende Sammelband im zeitlichen Rahmen des langen 19. Jahrhunderts nach, welches sich durch zahlreiche Br{\"u}che und Ver{\"a}nderungen im Umgang mit dem Tod und den Verstorbenen auszeichnet. 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. Zum anderen verdeutlichen sie bisweilen eine erstaunliche Innovationsresistenz beim Umgang mit dem Tod. Eines aber zeichnet Krisen maßgeblich aus: sie zwingen die Betroffenen zu einer Entscheidung.},

  year      = {2022},
  abstract  = {Over the six decades since it officially ended, the Algerian War has become a key event for marking, retrospectively, the beginning of a new era in European, Western and global history. 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.},

Es gab j{\"u}dische Gesch{\"a}fte und Bankh{\"a}user, ein j{\"u}disches Kinderheim und Krankenhaus, Synagogen und Mikwen sowie einen großen j{\"u}dischen Friedhof. Die Geschichte der Bankiersfamilie Mende, die 30 Jahre lang in einem Haus am Lenn{\´e}park in der Halben Stadt lebte, steht symbolisch f{\"u}r die Zeit des liberalen deutsch-j{\"u}dischen B{\"u}rgertums an der Schwelle zum 20. Jahrhundert und gibt uns einen Einblick in ihren Alltag und ihr h{\"a}usliches Leben. Die Zeugnisse von Max Bamberger und K{\"a}the Mende dokumentieren die schweren ersten Jahre im 17. Jahrhundert als Neuank{\"o}mmlinge in Frankfurt an der Oder, die Auswirkungen der Aufkl{\"a}rung, die spannende Zeit der Industrialisierung und die Wirren des Ersten Weltkrieges. Auch gewinnen wir Aufschluss {\"u}ber die Zeit der Shoah, durch die deutsch-j{\"u}disches Leben ein j{\"a}hes Ende finden sollte. Nicht zuletzt stellen die Memoiren von Max Bamberger und K{\"a}the Mende einen wichtigen Beitrag zur Frankfurter Stadtgeschichte dar, die  —  versehen mit vielen am{\"u}santen Anekdoten  —  {\"u}berdies {\"a}ußerst unterhaltsam sind. Die Grundlage daf{\"u}r bildeten die Familienerinnerungen der Sozialp{\"a}dagogin und National{\"o}konomin K{\"a}the Mende und des {\"U}bersetzers Max Bamberger, die sich als Schreibmaschinenmanuskripte im Leo Baeck Institut f{\"u}r deutsch-j{\"u}dische Geschichte in New York befinden.

  abstract  = {How much influence did the former communist state security service Darzhavna sigurnost (DS) have during the transformation period in Bulgaria? For the first time in history, there is empirical data available that allow for an analysis of the role of the Bulgarian secret police and its "afterlife" after 1990. Bulgarian intelligence archives, which were made partly accessible following the country's admission to the European Union in 2007, provide an excellent basis for an analysis of the relationship between the DS and the Soviet State Committee for Security, the transformation of the Bulgarian security apparatus in 1990, attempts to disclose the state security archives, and continuous infiltration of Bulgarian politics, institutions, and security apparatus by former agents of the communist intelligence and security apparatus. The empirical data suggest that personal connections, dependencies, and informal networks of former DS agents and officials played an important role during the transformation period in Bulgaria and are at least partly responsible for political corruption, continuous Russian influence, a high degree of politicization of the Bulgarian security apparatus, misuse of intelligence and illegal surveillance practices, and a high degree of domestic and international mistrust and (dis-)loyalty.},

  abstract  = {After the Second World War, Adolf Hitler and Benito Mussolini were singled out as evil geniuses who misled the masses and plunged them into an "unwanted war." In relation to their armed forces, this narrative argued that the generals under their command had been demoted to powerless tools in the hands of the dictators, having to follow orders and with no sway over decision-making. It was further asserted that Germany and Italy had not been able to secure a victory due to the dictators' meddling. Yet, as this chapter shows, there are important differences between the German and Italian cases. The chapter compares both the command structures in which the dictators operated as well as their grand strategies and how they cooperated during the war. Their personal relationship will be also analyzed, as it is impossible to look at the Axis without understanding the complex personal relationship at the very top. The strategies of both Hitler and Mussolini will be looked at and how each leader behaved in terms of working with their closest ally, together with some examples of cooperation on the lower military rungs.},

These newspaper scenes can be read as multifaceted culmination points at the surface of the novel's story in which aspects of Fontane's writing practices, formal aspects (characterization of figures, narrative temporalities, narrative structure), autopoietic reflection as well as addresses to the readers are brought into a complex interplay. The newspaper-reading scenes are thus significant textual signals of what has been called Fontane's specific Zeitungspoetik. The argument is unfolded by examining examples from three different genres: the historical novel Unwiederbringlich, the "Berlin everyday novels" ("Berliner Alltagsgeschichten") Irrungen, Wirrungen and Mathilde M{\"o}hring, and the Zeitroman or political novel Der Stechlin.},
