TY - BOOK A1 - Barkowsky, Matthias A1 - Giese, Holger T1 - Modular and incremental global model management with extended generalized discrimination networks T1 - Modulares und inkrementelles Globales Modellmanagement mit erweiterten Generalized Discrimination Networks N2 - Complex projects developed under the model-driven engineering paradigm nowadays often involve several interrelated models, which are automatically processed via a multitude of model operations. Modular and incremental construction and execution of such networks of models and model operations are required to accommodate efficient development with potentially large-scale models. The underlying problem is also called Global Model Management. In this report, we propose an approach to modular and incremental Global Model Management via an extension to the existing technique of Generalized Discrimination Networks (GDNs). In addition to further generalizing the notion of query operations employed in GDNs, we adapt the previously query-only mechanism to operations with side effects to integrate model transformation and model synchronization. We provide incremental algorithms for the execution of the resulting extended Generalized Discrimination Networks (eGDNs), as well as a prototypical implementation for a number of example eGDN operations. Based on this prototypical implementation, we experiment with an application scenario from the software development domain to empirically evaluate our approach with respect to scalability and conceptually demonstrate its applicability in a typical scenario. Initial results confirm that the presented approach can indeed be employed to realize efficient Global Model Management in the considered scenario. N2 - Komplexe Projekte, die unter dem Paradigma der modellgetriebenen Entwicklung entwickelt werden, nutzen heutzutage oft mehrere miteinander in Beziehung stehende Modelle, die durch eine Vielzahl von Modelloperationen automatiscsh verarbeitet werden. Die modulare und inkrementelle Konstruktion und Ausführung solcher Netzwerke von Modelloperationen ist eine Voraussetzung für effiziente Entwicklung mit potenziell sehr großen Modellen. Das zugrunde liegende Forschungsproblem heißt auch Globales Modellmanagement. In diesem Bericht schlagen wir einen Ansatz für modulares und inkrementelles Globales Modellmanagement vor, der auf einer Erweiterung der existierenden Technik der Generalized Discrimination Networks (GDNs) basiert. Neben einer weiteren Verallgemeinerung des Konzepts der Anfrageoperationen in GDNs erweitern wir den zuvor rein lesenden Mechanismus auf Operationen mit Seiteneffekten, um Modelltransformationen und Modellsynchronisationen zu integrieren. Wir präsentieren inkrementelle Algorithmen für die Ausführung der resultierenden erweiterten GDNs (eGDNs) sowie eine prototypische Implementierung von Beispieloperationen für eGDNs. Mithilfe dieser prototypischen Implementierung evaluieren wir unsere Lösung hinsichtlich ihrer Skalierbarkeit in einem Anwendungsszenario aus dem Bereich der Softwareentwicklung. Außerdem demonstrieren wir die Anwendbarkeit der entwickelten Technik konzeptionell anhand eines typischen Anwendugsszenario. Unsere ersten Ergebnisse bestätigen, dass die Lösung genutzt werden kann, um effizientes Globales Modellmanagement im betrachteten Szenario zu realisieren.

In the case of model-driven software engineering, employed versioning approaches also have to handle situations where different artifacts, that is, different models, are linked via automatic model transformations. In this report, we propose a technique for jointly handling the transformation of multiple versions of a source model into corresponding versions of a target model, which enables the use of a more compact representation that may afford improved execution time of both the transformation and further analysis operations. Our approach is based on the well-known formalism of triple graph grammars and a previously introduced encoding of model version histories called multi-version models. In addition to showing the correctness of our approach with respect to the standard semantics of triple graph grammars, we conduct an empirical evaluation that demonstrates the potential benefit regarding execution time performance. N2 - Ähnlich zu konventionellen Softwareprojekten erfordern Projekte im Bereich der modellgetriebenen Softwareentwicklung eine adäquate Verwaltung mehrerer Versionen von Entwicklungsartefakten. Eine solche Versionsverwaltung muss es insbesondere ermöglichen, zeitweise mit Inkonsistenzen zu leben. Im Fall der modellgetriebenen Softwareentwicklung muss ein verwendeter Ansatz zusätzlich mit Situationen umgehen können, in denen verschiedene Entwicklungsartefakte, das heißt verschiedene Modelle, durch automatische Modelltransformationen verknüpft sind. In diesem Bericht schlagen wir eine Technik für die integrierte Transformation mehrerer Versionen eines Quellmodells in entsprechende Versionen eines Zielmodells vor. Dies ermöglicht die Verwendung einer kompakteren Repräsentation der Modelle, was zu verbesserten Laufzeiteigenschaften der Transformation und weiterführender Operationen führen kann. Unser Ansatz basiert auf dem bekannten Formalismus der Tripel-Graph-Grammatiken und einer in früheren Arbeiten eingeführten Kodierung von Versionshistorien von Modellen. Neben einem Beweis der Korrektheit des Ansatzes in Bezug auf die standardmäßige Semantik von Tripel-Graph-Grammatiken führen wir eine empirische Evaluierung durch, die den potenziellen Performancevorteil der Technik demonstriert.

Collected in the 16th century by the Cretan Jewish historian Elijah Capsali, the communal byelaws offer a unique perspective on the history of a vibrant, culturally diverse Jewish community during three centuries of Venetian rule. As well as confronting practical problems such as deciding whether Christian wine can be made kosher by adding honey, or stopping irresponsible Jewish youths disturbing religious services by setting off fireworks in the synagogue, Takkanot Kandiyah presents valuable material for the study of communal autonomy and institutional memory in pre-modern Jewish society.

Debate, however, has focused primarily on whether it was a true 'system' of government, or rather a collection of ad-hoc measures undertaken to stabilise the empire after the troubled period of the 3rd century CE. The papers collected here aim to go beyond this question and to present an innovative approach to a fascinating period of Roman history by understanding the Tetrarchy not as a system of government, but primarily as a political language. Their focus thus lies on the language and ideology of the imperial college and court, on the performance of power in imperial ceremonies, the representation of the emperors and their enemies in the provinces of the Roman world, as well as on the afterlife of Tetrarchic power in the Constantinian period.

It argues that some marked forms differ from unmarked forms in that they encode modal evaluations of the at-issue meaning. Two epistemic evaluations that can be shown to be encoded by intonation in Spanish are obviousness and mirativity, which present the at-issue meaning as expected and unexpected, respectively. An empirical investigation via a production experiment finds that they are associated with distinct intonational features under constant focus scope, with stances of (dis)agreement showing an impact on obvious declaratives. Wh-exclamatives are found not to differ significantly in intonational marking from neutral declaratives, showing that they need not be miratives. Moreover, we find that intonational marking on different discourse particles in natural dialogue correlates with their meaning contribution without being fully determined by it. In part, these findings quantitatively confirm previous qualitative findings on the meaning of intonational configurations in Madrid Spanish. But they also add new insights on the role intonation plays in the negotiation of commitments and expectations between interlocutors.

Demons and fantasy enter these poems; so do politics, so does God. These are not religious poems in a conventionally liturgical, “inspirational” sense; yet they point to the big questions that religion asks: about love, hate, desire, violence, transgression, disappointment.

At the same time, the notion of digital sovereignty has become a leitmotif in German discourse: the state’s capacity to assume its responsibilities and safeguard society’s – and individuals’ – ability to shape the digital transformation in a self-determined way. The education sector is exemplary for the challenge faced by Germany, and indeed Europe, of harnessing the benefits of digital technology while navigating concerns around sovereignty. It encompasses education as a core public good, a rapidly growing field of business, and growing pools of highly sensitive personal data. The report describes pathways to mitigating the tension between digitalization and sovereignty at three different levels – state, economy, and individual – through the lens of concrete technical projects in the education sector: the HPI Schul-Cloud (state sovereignty), the MERLOT data spaces (economic sovereignty), and the openHPI platform (individual sovereignty). N2 - Digitale Technologien bieten erhebliche politische, wirtschaftliche und gesellschaftliche Chancen. Zugleich ist der Begriff digitale Souveränität zu einem Leitmotiv im deutschen Diskurs über digitale Technologien geworden: das heißt, die Fähigkeit des Staates, seine Verantwortung wahrzunehmen und die Befähigung der Gesellschaft – und des Einzelnen – sicherzustellen, die digitale Transformation selbstbestimmt zu gestalten. Exemplarisch für die Herausforderung in Deutschland und Europa, die Vorteile digitaler Technologien zu nutzen und gleichzeitig Souveränitätsbedenken zu berücksichtigen, steht der Bildungssektor. Er umfasst Bildung als zentrales öffentliches Gut, ein schnell aufkommendes Geschäftsfeld und wachsende Bestände an hochsensiblen personenbezogenen Daten. Davon ausgehend beschreibt der Bericht Wege zur Entschärfung des Spannungsverhältnisses zwischen Digitalisierung und Souveränität auf drei verschiedenen Ebenen – Staat, Wirtschaft und Individuum – anhand konkreter technischer Projekte im Bildungsbereich: die HPI Schul-Cloud (staatliche Souveränität), die MERLOT-Datenräume (wirtschaftliche Souveränität) und die openHPI-Plattform (individuelle Souveränität).

The authors intertwine the particularities of their case studies with reflections on patterns of belonging, memorial cultures, and a transnational network of connections spanning from early modern times to the twentieth century. In the context of the early modern Atlantic world, two essays explore the notion of a Sephardic empire among Portuguese Jewish communities as well as transatlantic entanglements in and beyond the Danish Caribbean. In the frameworks of Spain as well as (post-)colonial Egypt and Morocco, three articles reflect on Jewish citizenship, modes of belonging, and present-day commemorative events of Jewish history across the Mediterranean and beyond. These collected contributions are the outcome of activities at the ZJS dedicated to Sephardic Studies during the academic year 2020—21.

Jewish mystic Isaac Luria coined this term in Galilee in the sixteenth century, positing that the God who was “Ein-Sof,” unlimited and omnipresent before creation, must concentrate himself in the zimzum and withdraw in order to make room for the creation of the world in God’s own center. At the same time, God also limits his infinite omnipotence to allow the finite world to arise. Without the zimzum there is no creation, making zimzum one of the basic concepts of Judaism. The Lurianic doctrine of the zimzum has been considered an intellectual showpiece of the Kabbalah and of Jewish philosophy. The teaching of the zimzum has appeared in the Kabbalistic literature across Central and Eastern Europe, perhaps most famously in Hasidic literature up to the present day and in philosopher and historian Gershom Scholem’s epoch-making research on Jewish mysticism. The Zimzum has fascinated Jewish and Christian theologians, philosophers, and writers like no other Kabbalistic teaching. This can be seen across the philosophy and cultural history of the twentieth century as it gained prominence among such diverse authors and artists as Franz Rosenzweig, Hans Jonas, Isaac Bashevis Singer, Harold Bloom, Barnett Newman, and Anselm Kiefer. This book follows the traces of the zimzum across the Jewish and Christian intellectual history of Europe and North America over more than four centuries, where Judaism and Christianity, theosophy and philosophy, divine and human, mysticism and literature, Kabbalah and the arts encounter, mix, and cross-fertilize the interpretations and appropriations of this doctrine of God’s self-entanglement and limitation Y1 - 2023 SN - 978-1-5128-2435-3 SN - 978-1-5218-2436-0 N1 - Originally published as: Zimzum: Gott und Weltursprung. - Berlin : Jüdischer Verlag im Suhrkamp Verlag, 2014 PB - University of Pennsylvania Press CY - Philadelphia ER - TY - BOOK A1 - Schwarzer, Ingo A1 - Weiß-Saoumi, Said A1 - Kittel, Roland A1 - Friedrich, Tobias A1 - Kaynak, Koraltan A1 - Durak, Cemil A1 - Isbarn, Andreas A1 - Diestel, Jörg A1 - Knittel, Jens A1 - Franz, Marquart A1 - Morra, Carlos A1 - Stahnke, Susanne A1 - Braband, Jens A1 - Dittmann, Johannes A1 - Griebel, Stephan A1 - Krampf, Andreas A1 - Link, Martin A1 - Müller, Matthias A1 - Radestock, Jens A1 - Strub, Leo A1 - Bleeke, Kai A1 - Jehl, Leander A1 - Kapitza, Rüdiger A1 - Messadi, Ines A1 - Schmidt, Stefan A1 - Schwarz-Rüsch, Signe A1 - Pirl, Lukas A1 - Schmid, Robert A1 - Friedenberger, Dirk A1 - Beilharz, Jossekin Jakob A1 - Boockmeyer, Arne A1 - Polze, Andreas A1 - Röhrig, Ralf A1 - Schäbe, Hendrik A1 - Thiermann, Ricky T1 - RailChain BT - Abschlussbericht N2 - The RailChain project designed, implemented, and experimentally evaluated a juridical recorder that is based on a distributed consensus protocol. That juridical blockchain recorder has been realized as distributed ledger on board the advanced TrainLab (ICE-TD 605 017) of Deutsche Bahn. For the project, a consortium consisting of DB Systel, Siemens, Siemens Mobility, the Hasso Plattner Institute for Digital Engineering, Technische Universität Braunschweig, TÜV Rheinland InterTraffic, and Spherity has been formed. These partners not only concentrated competencies in railway operation, computer science, regulation, and approval, but also combined experiences from industry, research from academia, and enthusiasm from startups. Distributed ledger technologies (DLTs) define distributed databases and express a digital protocol for transactions between business partners without the need for a trusted intermediary. The implementation of a blockchain with real-time requirements for the local network of a railway system (e.g., interlocking or train) allows to log data in the distributed system verifiably in real-time. For this, railway-specific assumptions can be leveraged to make modifications to standard blockchains protocols. EULYNX and OCORA (Open CCS On-board Reference Architecture) are parts of a future European reference architecture for control command and signalling (CCS, Reference CCS Architecture – RCA). Both architectural concepts outline heterogeneous IT systems with components from multiple manufacturers. Such systems introduce novel challenges for the approved and safety-relevant CCS of railways which were considered neither for road-side nor for on-board systems so far. Logging implementations, such as the common juridical recorder on vehicles, can no longer be realized as a central component of a single manufacturer. All centralized approaches are in question. The research project RailChain is funded by the mFUND program and gives practical evidence that distributed consensus protocols are a proper means to immutably (for legal purposes) store state information of many system components from multiple manufacturers. The results of RailChain have been published, prototypically implemented, and experimentally evaluated in large-scale field tests on the advanced TrainLab. At the same time, the project showed how RailChain can be integrated into the road-side and on-board architecture given by OCORA and EULYNX. Logged data can now be analysed sooner and also their trustworthiness is being increased. This enables, e.g., auditable predictive maintenance, because it is ensured that data is authentic and unmodified at any point in time. N2 - Das Projekt RailChain hat einen verteilten Juridical Recorder entworfen, implementiert und experimentell evaluiert, der auf einem echtzeitfähigen verteilten Konsensprotokoll basiert. Dieser Juridical Blockchain Recorder wurde als distributed ledger an Bord des advanced TrainLabs der Deutschen Bahn (ICE-TD 605 017) umgesetzt. Für das Projekt hat sich ein Konsortium aus DB Systel, Siemens, Siemens Mobility, dem Hasso-Plattner-Institut für Digital Engineering, der Technischen Universität Braunschweig, sowie TÜV Rheinland InterTraffic und Spherity formiert und dabei Kompetenzen aus den Bereichen Bahnbetrieb, Informatik und Zulassungswesen gebündelt. Die Partner kombinieren Erfahrungen aus der Industrie und die akademische Forschung mit der Aufbruchstimmung aus dem Start-Up-Umfeld. Distributed-Ledger-Technologien (DLTs) definieren verteilte Datenbanken und stellen ein digitales Protokoll für Transaktionen zwischen Geschäftspartnern dar, ohne dass ein Mittelsmann beteiligt sein müsste. Die Implementierung einer Blockchain mit Echtzeitanforderungen für das lokale Netzwerk einer Eisenbahnanlage (z. B. Stellwerk oder Zug) erlaubt es, die im verteilten System entstehenden Daten nachweislich in Echtzeit zu protokollieren. Dabei können eisenbahnspezifische Randbedingungen ausgenutzt werden, um Standard-Blockchain-Protokolle anzupassen. EULYNX und OCORA (Open CCS On-board Reference Architecture) sind Bestandteile einer zukünftigen europäischen Referenzarchitektur für das Leit- und Sicherungssystem (Reference CCS Architecture – RCA, Control Command and Signalling – CCS). Beide Architekturkonzepte skizzieren herstellerübergreifende, komponentenbasierende heterogene IT-Systeme. Solche Systeme bergen neue Herausforderungen, die bislang im Kontext der zugelassenen, sicherheitsrelevanten Leit- und Sicherungstechnik der Bahn weder strecken- noch fahrzeugseitig adressiert werden mussten. Logbuch-Implementierungen, wie der gängige Juridical Recorder auf Fahrzeugen, können nun nicht mehr als zentrale Systemkomponente eines einzelnen Herstellers umgesetzt werden. Alle zentralisierten Lösungsansätze sind in Frage gestellt. Das mFUND-geförderte Forschungsprojekt erbringt den praktischen Nachweis, dass Zustandsinformationen über eine Vielzahl von Systemkomponenten herstellerübergreifend und gerichtsfest mittels verteilten Konsensprotokollen gespeichert werden können. Ergebnisse von RailChain wurden publiziert, prototypisch implementiert und in großen Feldtests auf dem advanced TrainLab experimentell evaluiert. Gleichzeitig wurde aufgezeigt, wie sich RailChain in den mit OCORA und EULYNX vorgegebenen fahrzeug- und streckenseitigen Architekturentwurf integrieren lässt. Daten können dadurch zeitnaher ausgewertet werden und gleichzeitig wird ihre Vertrauenswürdigkeit erhöht. Dies ermöglicht u. a. nachvollziehbare zustandsorientierte Wartung, denn es kann jederzeit sichergestellt werden, dass die Daten authentisch sind und auch nicht verändert wurden.

This is to a large extent possible using existing international organizations. In such a case, however, they need to be considerably strengthened – while current trends take us in the opposite direction, according to the researchers in the SNS Democracy Council 2023.

L. AustinTheatre has a remarkable capacity: it touches from a distance. The audience is affected, despite their physical separation from the stage. The spectators are moved, even though the fictional world presented to them will never come into direct touch with their real lives. Shakespeare is clearly one of the master practitioners of theatrical touch. As the study shows, his exceptional dramaturgic talent is intrinsically connected with being one of the great thinkers of touch. His plays fathom the complexity and power of a fascinating notion – touch as a productive proximity that is characterised by unbridgeable distance – which philosophers like Friedrich Nietzsche, Maurice Blanchot, Jacques Derrida, Luce Irigaray and Jean-Luc Nancy have written about, centuries later. By playing with touch and its metatheatrical implications, Shakespeare raises questions that make his theatrical art point towards modernity: how are communities to form when traditional institutions begin to crumble? What happens to selfhood when time speeds up, when oneness and timeless truth can no longer serve as reliable foundations? What is the role and the capacity of language in a world that has lost its seemingly unshakeable belief and trust in meaning? How are we to conceive of the unthinkable extremes of human existence – birth and death – when the religious orthodoxy slowly ceases to give satisfactory explanations? Shakespeare’s theatre not only prompts these questions, but provides us with answers. They are all related to touch, and they are all theatrical at their core: they are argued and performed by the striking experience of theatre’s capacities to touch – at a distance Y1 - 2023 SN - 978-1-4744-9784-8 SN - 978-1-4744-9785-5 SN - 978-1-4744-9782-4 U6 - https://doi.org/10.1515/9781474497848 PB - Edinburgh University Press CY - Edinburgh ER - TY - BOOK A1 - Van Hal, Toon A1 - Van Loon, Zanna A1 - Mercelis, Wouter A1 - Steckley, John A1 - Peetermans, Andy A1 - Van Rooy, Raf A1 - Dionne, Fannie ED - Van Loon, Zanna ED - Steckley, John ED - Van Hal, Toon ED - Peetermans, Andy T1 - Anchored in ink BT - Pierre-Philippe Potier’s Elementa Grammaticae Huronicae (1745), a Jesuit grammar of Wendat BT - Die Elementa grammaticae Huronicae (1745) des Jesuiten Pierre-Philippe Potier, eine Grammatik der Wendat-Sprache N2 - This book serves as a gateway to the Elementa grammaticae Huronicae, an eighteenth-century grammar of the Wendat (‘Huron’) language by Jesuit Pierre-Philippe Potier (1708–1781). The volume falls into three main parts. The first part introduces the grammar and some of its contexts, offering information about the Huron-Wendat and Wyandot, the early modern Jesuit mission in New France and the Jesuits’ linguistic output. The heart of the volume is made up by its second part, a text edition of the Elementa. The third part presents some avenues of research by way of specific case studies. N2 - Dieses Buch hat das Ziel, die Elementa grammaticae Huronicae, eine im 18. Jahrhundert vom Jesuiten Pierre-Philippe Potier (1708–1781) erstellte Grammatik der Wendat-Sprache (d.h. des ‘Huronischen’), einem größeren Leserkreis zu eröffnen. Der Band gliedert sich in drei Hauptteile: Der erste Teil bietet eine Einführung zu der Grammatik und einigen relevanten Kontexten, mit Informationen über die Huron-Wendat und Wyandot, die frühneuzeitliche Jesuitenmission in Neufrankreich und die Schriften der Jesuiten auf dem Gebiet des Sprachstudiums. Das Kernstück des Bandes bildet der zweite Teil, eine Textausgabe der Elementa. Im dritten Teil werden anhand von spezifischen Fallstudien einige Forschungswege vorgestellt.

It is caused by sustained pressure on tissue, so it particularly affects bed-bound patients. This work lays a foundation for pressure mattress-based decubitus prophylaxis by implementing a solution to the single-frame 2D Human Pose Estimation problem. For this, methods of Deep Learning are employed. Two approaches are examined, a coarse-to-fine Convolutional Neural Network for direct regression of joint coordinates and a U-Net for the derivation of probability distribution heatmaps. We conclude that training our models on a combined dataset of the publicly available Bodies at Rest and SLP data yields the best results. Furthermore, various preprocessing techniques are investigated, and a hyperparameter optimization is performed to discover an improved model architecture. Another finding indicates that the heatmap-based approach outperforms direct regression. This model achieves a mean per-joint position error of 9.11 cm for the Bodies at Rest data and 7.43 cm for the SLP data. We find that it generalizes well on data from mattresses other than those seen during training but has difficulties detecting the arms correctly. Additionally, we give a brief overview of the medical data annotation tool annoto we developed in the bachelor project and furthermore conclude that the Scrum framework and agile practices enhanced our development workflow. N2 - Dekubitus ist eine der relevantesten Krankheiten in der Krankenpflege und die kostspieligste in der Behandlung. Sie wird durch anhaltenden Druck auf Gewebe verursacht, betrifft also insbesondere bettlägerige Patienten. Diese Arbeit legt eine Grundlage für druckmatratzenbasierte Dekubitusprophylaxe, indem eine Lösung für das Einzelbild-2D-Posenabschätzungsproblem implementiert wird. Dafür werden Methoden des tiefen Lernens verwendet. Zwei Ansätze, basierend auf einem Gefalteten Neuronalen grob-zu-fein Netzwerk zur direkten Regression der Gelenkkoordinaten und auf einem U-Netzwerk zur Ableitung von Wahrscheinlichkeitsverteilungsbildern, werden untersucht. Wir schlussfolgern, dass das Training unserer Modelle auf einem kombinierten Datensatz, bestehend aus den frei verfügbaren Bodies at Rest und SLP Daten, die besten Ergebnisse liefert. Weiterhin werden diverse Vorverarbeitungsverfahren untersucht und eine Hyperparameteroptimierung zum Finden einer verbesserten Modellarchitektur durchgeführt. Der wahrscheinlichkeitsverteilungsbasierte Ansatz übertrifft die direkte Regression. Dieses Modell erreicht einen durchschnittlichen Pro-Gelenk-Positionsfehler von 9,11 cm auf den Bodies at Rest und von 7,43 cm auf den SLP Daten. Wir sehen, dass es gut auf Daten anderer als der im Training verwendeten Matratzen funktioniert, aber Schwierigkeiten mit der korrekten Erkennung der Arme hat. Weiterhin geben wir eine kurze Übersicht des medizinischen Datenannotationstools annoto, welches wir im Zusammenhang mit dem Bachelorprojekt entwickelt haben, und schlussfolgern außerdem, dass Scrum und agile Praktiken unseren Entwicklungsprozess verbessert haben.

T1 - The Right to Research BT - historical Narratives by Refugee and Global South Researchers T3 - McGill-Queen's Refugee and Forced Migration Studies N2 - Refugees and displaced people rarely figure as historical actors, and almost never as historical narrators. We often assume a person residing in a refugee camp, lacking funding, training, social networks, and other material resources that enable the research and writing of academic history, cannot be a historian because a historian cannot be a person residing in a refugee camp. The Right to Research disrupts this tautology by featuring nine works by refugee and host-community researchers from across Africa, Europe, and the Middle East. Identifying the intrinsic challenges of making space for diverse voices within a research framework and infrastructure that is inherently unequal, this edited volume offers a critical reflection on what history means, who narrates it, and what happens when those long excluded from authorship bring their knowledge and perspectives to bear. Chapters address topics such as education in Kakuma Refugee Camp, the political power of hip-hop in Rwanda, women migrants to Yemen, and the development of photojournalism in Kurdistan. Exploring what it means to become a researcher, The Right to Research understands historical scholarship as an ongoing conversation - one in which we all have a right to participate.

But when and how do such adaptation processes give way to a more profound transformation, if not a crisis of international law? To address the question of how attacks on the international legal order are changing the value orientation of international law, this book brings together scholars of international law and international relations. By combining theoretical and methodological analyses with individual case studies, this book offers readers conceptualizations and tools to systematically examine value change and explore the drivers and mechanisms of these processes. These case studies scrutinize value change in the foundational norms of the post-1945 order and in norms representing the rise of the international legal order post-1990. They cover diverse issues: the prohibition of torture, the protection of women’s rights, the prohibition of the use of force, the non-proliferation of nuclear weapons, sustainability norms, and accountability for core international crimes. The challenges to each norm, the reactions by norm defenders, and the fate of each norm are also studied. Combined, the analyses show that while a few norms have remained surprisingly robust, several are changing, either in substance or in legal or social validity. The book concludes by integrating the conceptual and empirical insights from this interdisciplinary exchange to assess and explain the ambiguous nature of value change in international law beyond the extremes of mere progress or decline.
