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{OPUS4-64336, title = {Wir Mendes}, editor = {Martin, Katja and Heinzmann, Michael}, publisher = {Arijeh Verlag}, address = {Potsdam}, isbn = {978-3-944693-02-6}, pages = {227}, year = {2022}, abstract = {Frankfurt an der Oder verf{\"u}gte einst {\"u}ber bl{\"u}hendes j{\"u}disches Leben.

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. This article now provides the first detailed stand-alone synthesis in that language addressing the whole period from 1941 to 1945.}, language = {en} } @book{SchapkowJacob2021, author = {Schapkow, Carsten and Jacob, Frank}, title = {Nationalism in a Transnational Age}, editor = {Schapkow, Carsten and Jacob, Frank}, publisher = {De Gruyter Oldenbourg}, address = {Berlin, Boston}, isbn = {978-3-11-072929-0}, doi = {10.1515/9783110729290}, pages = {230}, year = {2021}, abstract = {Nationalism was declared to be dead too early. A postnational age was announced, and liberalism claimed to have been victorious by the end of the Cold War. At the same time postnational order was proclaimed in which transnational alliances like the European Union were supposed to become more important in international relations. But we witnessed the rise a strong nationalism during the early 21st century instead, and right wing parties are able to gain more and more votes in elections that are often characterized by nationalist agendas. This volume shows how nationalist dreams and fears alike determine politics in an age that was supposed to witness a rather peaceful coexistence by those who consider transnational ideas more valuable than national demands. It will deal with different case studies to show why and how nationalism made its way back to the common consciousness and which elements stimulated the re-establishment of the aggressive nation state. The volume will therefore look at the continuities of empire, actual and imagined, the role of "foreign-" and "otherness" for nationalist narratives, and try to explain how globalization stimulated the rise of 21st century nationalisms as well.}, language = {en} } @incollection{CarlaUhink2024, author = {Carl{\`a}-Uhink, Filippo}, title = {'Per voler del primo amor ch'i' sento'}, series = {Representing Rome's emperors: historical and cultural perspectives through time}, booktitle = {Representing Rome's emperors: historical and cultural perspectives through time}, publisher = {Oxford University Press}, address = {Oxford}, isbn = {978-0-19-286926-5}, doi = {10.1093/oso/9780192869265.003.0008}, pages = {195 -- 213}, year = {2024}, language = {en} } @article{Wentker2024, author = {Wentker, Hermann}, title = {Zwischen F{\"o}deralismus und Zentralismus}, series = {Nationalstaat und F{\"o}deralismus}, journal = {Nationalstaat und F{\"o}deralismus}, editor = {Wirsching, Andreas and Lehmann, Lars}, publisher = {Campus Verlag}, address = {Frankfurt am Main}, isbn = {978-3-593-45486-3}, pages = {133 -- 152}, year = {2024}, language = {de} } @misc{Behrendt2022, author = {Behrendt, Marie Ch.}, title = {Quellenbesprechung: Von Arendsee zu "Aronsee"}, series = {Zeitgeschichte regional : Mitteilungen aus Mecklenburg-Vorpommern}, volume = {26}, journal = {Zeitgeschichte regional : Mitteilungen aus Mecklenburg-Vorpommern}, number = {2}, editor = {Geschichtswerkstatt Rostock e.V.,}, address = {Rostock}, organization = {Geschichtswerkstatt Rostock}, issn = {1434-1794}, year = {2022}, abstract = {In der Rubrik „Das Dokument" untersucht Marie Behrendt eine 1917 aus Arendsee (heute K{\"u}hlungsborn) versandte Postkarte, die Aufschluss {\"u}ber antisemitische Vorurteile nichtj{\"u}discher Badeg{\"a}ste gibt, und ordnet dieses Dokument quellenkritisch ein.}, language = {de} } @book{OPUS4-64800, title = {J{\"u}dische Leben erz{\"a}hlen}, series = {J{\"u}dische Kulturgeschichte in der Moderne}, volume = {30}, journal = {J{\"u}dische Kulturgeschichte in der Moderne}, editor = {Jurewicz, Grażyna and Schr{\"o}der, Marie}, publisher = {Neofelis}, address = {Berlin}, isbn = {978-3-95808-429-2}, doi = {10.52007/9783958084803}, pages = {298}, year = {2023}, abstract = {J{\"u}dische Leben erz{\"a}hlen versammelt Werkstattberichte von Autorinnen und Autoren biographischer Studien, die in jahrelanger, intensiver Besch{\"a}ftigung mit den Hinterlassenschaften von Menschen j{\"u}discher Herkunft deren Leben erforscht haben.
