Abstract

Contesting History is an authoritative guide to the positive and negative applications of the past in the public arena and what this signifies for the meaning of history more widely. Using a global, non-Western model, Jeremy Black examines the employment of history by the state, the media, the national collective memory and others and considers its fundamental significance in how we understand the past. Moving from public life pre-1400 to the struggle of ideologies in the 20th century and contemporary efforts to find meaning in historical narratives, Jeremy Black incorporates a great deal of original material on governmental, social and commercial influences on the public use of history. This includes a host of in-depth case studies from different periods of history around the world, and coverage of public history in a wider range of media, including TV and film. Readers are guided through this material by an expansive introduction, section headings, chapter conclusions and a selected further reading list. Written with eminent clarity and breadth of knowledge, Contesting History is a key text for all students of public history and anyone keen to know more about the nature of history as a discipline and concept

Abstract

Heldenerzählungen berichten von Gewalt, dem vorsätzlichen Übergriff auf den Körper eines anderen gegen dessen Willen. In der Gewalttat kulminieren Mut und Entschlossenheit, Regelverachtung und Handlungsmacht, sie erscheint als Bewährungsprobe des Individuums. Gewalt zwingt die Beteiligten, sich zur ihr zu verhalten und zu positionieren - Täter wie Opfer, Beteiligte wie Beistehende, Zeitgenossen wie Nachkommende. In diesem Band strukturieren drei Perspektivierungen -zur Heroisierung, zum Ertragen und zur Vermeidung von Gewalt - literatur-, geschichts-, kulturwissenschaftliche und soziologische Zugänge zum Beziehungsgeflecht von Heldentum und physischer Gewaltausübung. Ein einleitender Aufsatz identifiziert theoretische Schnittstellen. Mit Beiträgen von Ronald G. Asch, Cornelia Brink, Ulrich Bröckling, Olmo Gölz, Joachim Grage, Felix K. Maier, Vera Marstaller, Christoph Mauntel, Sotirios Mouzakis, Friederike Pannewick, Jan Philipp Reemtsma, Sven Reichardt und Cornel Zwierlein. Heroic tales recount violence, which can be defined as a deliberate assault on the body of another against their will. The act of violence is a culmination of courage, determination, contempt for rules and the power to act; violence appears as a paradigmatic test of the individual. Violence forces those involved to position themselves in relation to it - perpetrators as well as victims, participants as well as bystanders, contemporaries as well as descendants. In this volume, three perspectives on the heroization, endurance and avoidance of violence structure different literary, historical, cultural and sociological approaches to identifying the relationship between the heroic and physical violence. An introductory essay identifies theoretical intersections between violence and heroism. With contributions by Ronald G. Asch, Cornelia Brink, Ulrich Bröckling, Olmo Gölz, Joachim Grage, Felix K. Maier, Vera Marstaller, Christoph Mauntel, Sotirios Mouzakis, Friederike Pannewick, Jan Philipp Reemtsma, Sven Reichardt and Cornel Zwierlein.

Abstract

Rural regions in Colombia have untapped potential to boost wealth and well-being in the country. Despite remarkable economic growth over the last two decades, Colombia's development policy needs to increase its focus on rurality, as regional inequalities remain high by OECD standards and structural challenges still prevent greater development in rural places.

Abstract

Die Colonia Dignidad erlangte wegen zahlreicher bis heute unaufgeklärter Menschenrechtsverbrechen internationale Bekanntheit. Dass einstige Mitglieder der deutschen Gruppe das historische Siedlungsgelände in Chile unter dem Namen »Villa Baviera« (deutsch: bayerisches Dorf) schrittweise zu einem touristischen Freizeitort umfunktioniert haben, sorgt angesichts der mangelnden Aufarbeitung für anhaltende Kritik. Meike Dreckmann-Nielen untersucht, wie sich einstige Mitglieder der Gruppe heute an ihre eigene Vergangenheit erinnern. In ihrer Studie ermöglicht sie einen intimen Einblick in komplexe erinnerungskulturelle Dynamiken im Mikrokosmos der ehemaligen Siedlungsgemeinschaft.

Abstract

In 2021, the American Historical Association published a study on how the American public perceives and understands the past. Almost half of the respondents argued that they turn to Wikipedia to learn about history and acquire a historical understanding of the past. Wikipedia was ranked higher than other historical activities, such as “Historic site visit,” “Museum visit,” “Genealogy work,” “Social media,” “Podcast/radio program,” “History lecture,” and “History-related video game.” These findings combined with the appropriation of Wikipedia’s corpus by ChatGPT and Wikipedia’s partnership with the most central search engine in the digital world, Google, and other digital assistants, such as Siri and Alexa, make clear how crucial the role of Wikipedia in how the public learns about history and makes sense of the past is. But how is historical knowledge produced on Wikipedia? How do Wikipedia editors engage with historical events of the past and transform the past into historical knowledge? Why do they decide to contribute to the production of history? By placing Wikipedia editors at the center of research inquiry and using multiple methodologies and different kinds of data, this book explores how historical knowledge is produced in one of the most central digital communities of knowledge, Wikipedia.
