        Der Staat der Historiker

        Staatsvorstellungen deutscher Historiker seit 1945

        by Gabriele Metzler

        Die Bundesrepublik entwickelte sich im Laufe ihres Bestehens zu einem liberalen Rechts- und Sozialstaat nach westlichem Muster. Historiker trugen dazu bei, indem sie Orientierungswissen lieferten und als public intellectuals diese Entwicklung kritisch begleiteten. Sie erinnerten, imaginierten und kritisierten spezifische Staatsvorstellungen beziehungsweise reflektierten die Krisen von Rechts- und Sozialstaatlichkeit seit den 1970er Jahren. Und auch heute sind Historiker an der Neukonzeption von Staatlichkeit im Kontext von Globalisierung und europäischer Integration beteiligt. Gabriele Metzler erzählt eine Geschichte der Bundesrepublik von ihren Anfängen bis heute durch das Prisma ihrer zeithistorischen Erforschung.

        Paris and the Commune 1871–78

        The politics of forgetting

        by Bertrand Taithe, Colette Wilson, Penny Summerfield, Peter Gatrell, Max Jones, Ana Carden-Coyne

        Despite the scholarship and political activism devoted to keeping the memory of the Paris Commune alive, there still remains much ignorance both in France and elsewhere, about the traumatic civil war of 1871; some 20,000 to 35,000 people were killed on the streets of Paris in just the final week of the conflict. Colette Wilson identifies a critical blind-spot in French studies and employs new critical approaches to neglected texts, marginalised aspects of the illustrated press, early photography and a selection of novels by Emile Zola. This book will be of interest to students and academics studying France in the nineteenth century from a number of different perspectives war and revolution studies, cultural studies, history and cultural memory, literature, art history, photography, the illustrated press, city studies and human geography. The book will appeal equally to all lovers of Paris who wish to know and understand more about the city's turbulent past. ;

        Petersburg

        Roman in acht Kapiteln mit Prolog und Epilog

        by Andrej Belyj, Gabriele Leupold, Ilma Rakusa

        Der gewagteste russische Roman des 20. Jahrhunderts erschien zum ersten Mal 2001 in seiner ungekürzten Urfassung auf deutsch: Andrej Belyjs Petersburg erzählt von einem Mordanschlag, der 1905, am Vorabend der Revolution, in Petersburg vorbereitet wird. Vladimir Nabokov zählte diesen Roman – gemeinsam mit Joyce' Ulysses und Kafkas Verwandlung – zu den drei größten Meisterwerken der Prosaliteratur des 20. Jahrhunderts, und auch für die heutige Kritik ist er ein »Meilenstein des modernen Romans« (Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung), der in dieser »kongenialen« übersetzung (NDR) von Gabriele Leupold erst seine ganze Kraft entfaltet. Andrej Belyj (1880–1934) gilt als der bedeutendste Prosaautor des russischen Symbolismus. Petersburg erschien erstmals 1913/14.

        Tourism and Gender

        Embodiment, Sensuality and Experience

        by Edited by Annette Pritchard, Nigel Morgan, Irena Ateljevic, Candice Harris

        While contemporary popular discourses dismiss gender and feminism as passé, patriarchy and sexism continue to limit human possibilities around the globe. The tourism industry can be a force for empowerment but it can also shore up exploitative gendered practices. At the same time, tourism enquiry itself continues to be dominated by western, masculinist approaches.This collection of studies seeks to advance feminist and gender tourism studies with its focus on embodiment. Broad themes include the construction of narratives, how discourses of desire, sensuality and sexuality pervade the tourism experience, the use of the body to represent femininity, masculinity and sensuality, and finally how travel and tourism allow for empowerment, resistance and carnivalesque opportunities.

        A SUNDAY AFTERNOON IN KILINSKI PARK

        by Arieh Stav

        There were rumors; a smell of fear in the air. And yet, it all happened with incredible suddenness. The Soviets were abandoning the city; the Germans were at the gates. Mera Stollar grabbed her baby and ran for her life. From that day on, her life became an odyssey of flight and survival. Thanks to her son’s Aryan appearance (as long as he did not lower his pants…), her resourcefulness and wisdom, they escaped from the city after the murder of its Jewish inhabitants. Without documents, the mother and child wandered among the back lanes of Occupied Poland under the guise of Polish refugees, until they reached Warsaw. On the way, they endured the ever present fear of capture, hunger, cold, illness and the cruelty and indifference of people; but there are also instances of compassion and mercy. Their flight is accompanied by many dangers and threats. They are thrown into the street by a Christian family for having crossed themselves left-handed; a Ukrainian informer turns them in to the police – meaning transport to Treblinka; the convoy is bombed and on the first day of the Liberation, Mera is found guilty of collaborating with the German enemy, a sin carrying a sentence of execution. A SUNDAY AFTERNOON IN KILINSKI PARK also tells the stories of Rocheleh, thrown into prison over a pair of boots; Stiepan the Ukrainian policeman whose love for Vera does not prevent him from murdering her entire family; of Lieber, protected by his father’s corpse in the Susenki killing pits; Sonia the convert, who was not saved by the crucifix she wore on her throat; Granny Jadzia, the Pole who was prepared to sacrifice her life for Libi, whom she loved like a grandchild; Alex and Irena, the two Ukrainian circus artists who, ironically, come under Mera’s protection; and Rudolph, the German paratrooper whose courtship and love for Mera lead to disillusion.   Arieh Stav was born in 1939 in Rovno, Poland at that time, Ukraine today. In 1951, he made aliyah with his mother. He was educated at Kibbutz Givat Haim, served in the IDF as a paratrooper and was a member of the Kibbutz until 1963, when he left and moved to Tel Aviv. He studied psychology, philosophy and drama at Tel Aviv University. Arieh Stav is the Director of the Ariel Center for Policy Research, a non-partisan organization devoted to inclusive research and discussion of political and strategic issues concerning Israel and the Jewish people. Stav is the editor of Nativ, a bi-monthly periodical on politics and the arts, author and editor of numerous books and research studies. He has translated (to Hebrew) and published numerous volumes of epic poems which were written throughout the ages and in a myriad of languages.
