Anniversaries are a central point of reference in our historical culture. But the anniversary also has a story of its own. This is particularly true for universities as training grounds for social elites and as sites that derive their prominent function also from their tradition. Academic foundation anniversaries thus become central occurrences for attributing social relevance to universities, colleges and their members. Various media compete in such anniversaries as individual and collective identities are staged and (re-)produced not only through commemorative publications and speeches, but also through student festivities, public celebrations, or even protests. The 15contributions of this anthology analyze long-past as well as recent European university anniversaries. In doing so, they provide a historical overview of anniversary (media) cultures, and at the same time offer an orientation for critically assessing present day jubilees. Jahrestage und Jubiläen spielen im "Doing History" eine zentrale Rolle: Sie erweitern qualitativ und quantitativ die Kreise der Personen, die "Geschichte" konsumieren und produzieren, zugleich korrespondieren und konkurrieren im Jubiläum verschiedene Medien der Geschichte: Fach- und populärwissenschaftliche Schriften sind dabei nur eine und zumeist nicht die wirkmächtigste Erzählung der Vergangenheit: Auch über Feste und Feiern, Spiele und Inszenierungen werden individuelle und kollektive Identitäten adressiert und Zugehörigkeiten zu (gedachten) Gemeinschaften (re-)produziert. Auch in der Geschichte von Hochschulen und Universitäten spielen Gründungsjubiläen eine zentrale Rolle. Denn Jubiläen generieren eine spezifische Aufmerksamkeit für die Institutionen und produzieren nicht selten eine Vielzahl an Geschichtssorten, in denen nicht nur die Geschichte der Institution thematisiert, sondern die Institution selbst reproduziert, reifiziert oder auch reformiert wird. Das Geschichte-Machen ist somit Ausdruck des Ringens um das institutionelle Selbstverständnis zum Zeitpunkt des Jubiläums und eignet sich, um reflektierte und unreflektierte Selbstzuschreibungen zu untersuchen. Die Beschäftigung mit Hochschuljubiläen ermöglicht dadurch nicht nur die Perspektivierung vergangener Gegenwarten, sondern rekurriert auch auf vergangene Zukunftserwartungen und die Rolle, die Geschichte darin spielen sollte. Der Sammelband adressiert diese Fragen anhand zwei eng verwobener Schwerpunkte - der identitätsstiftenden Funktion von Jubiläen und den in ihnen zutage kommenden Geschichtssorten - am Beispiel verschiedener Hochschultypen in Belgien, Dänemark, Deutschland, Frankreich, Österreich und der Schweiz in einer longue durée von der Mitte des 19. Jahrhunderts bis in die Gegenwart.

Across more than two centuries Afro-America has created a huge and dazzling variety of literary self-expression. Designs of Blackness provides less a narrative literary history than, precisely, a series of mappings—each literary-critical and comparative while at the same time offering cultural and historical context. This carefully re-edited version of the 1998 publication opens with an estimation of earliest African American voice in the names of Phillis Wheatley and her contemporaries. It then takes up the huge span of autobiography from Frederick Douglass through to Maya Angelou. "Harlem on My Mind," which follows, sets out the literary contours of America’s premier black city. Womanism, Alice Walker’s presiding term, is given full due in an analysis of fiction from Harriet E. Wilson to Toni Morrison. Richard Wright is approached not as some regulation "realist" but as a more inward, at times near-surreal, author. Decadology has its risks but the 1940s has rarely been approached as a unique era of war and peace and especially in African American texts. Beat Generation work usually adheres to Ginsberg and Kerouac, but black Beat writing invites its own chapter in the names of Amiri Baraka, Ted Joans and Bob Kaufman. The 1960s has long become a mythic change-decade, and in few greater respects than as a black theatre both of the stage and politics. In Leon Forrest African America had a figure of the postmodern turn: his work is explored in its own right and for how it takes its place in the context of other reflexive black fiction. "African American Fictions of Passing" unpacks the whole deceptive trope of "race" in writing from Williams Wells Brown through to Charles Johnson. The two newly added chapters pursue African American literary achievement into the Obama-Trump century, fiction from Octavia Butler to Darryl Pinkney, poetry from Rita Dove to Kevin Young.

Sufism is often regarded as standing mystically aloof from its wider cultural settings. By turning this perspective on its head, Indian Sufism since the Seventeenth Century reveals the politics and poetry of Indian Sufism through the study of Islamic sainthood in the midst of a cosmopolitan Indian society comprising migrants, soldiers, litterateurs and princes. Placing the mystical traditions of Indian Islam within their cultural contexts, this interesting study focuses on the shrines of four Sufi saints in the neglected Deccan region and their changing roles under the rule

Im 20. Jahrhundert wurden die Geburts- und Todestage Beethovens, Goethes und Hugos verlässlich gefeiert, was von der anhaltenden Bedeutung dieser Autoren in einer sich wandelnden Welt zeugt. Sophie Picard fragt nach den Bedingungen für diese Beständigkeit und eröffnet eine neue Perspektive auf das Phänomen Klassik. Ihre Rekonstruktion der Gedenkjahre ermöglicht einen vergleichenden Blick auf den Umgang mit Beethoven, Goethe und Hugo in verschiedenen historischen, kulturellen, diskursiven und medialen Kontexten. Die Vielfalt konkurrierender Funktionalisierungen wird dabei als die Grundlage der Permanenz gedeutet: Die drei Klassiker überdauern den zeitlichen Wandel, weil sie polyfunktional gebraucht werden.

"It is a pleasure to commend this collection of very different essays that celebrate, reflect upon and extend the life and work of a remarkable scholar. Although I have had, at times, a close association with Brij Lals life and work, I have learned much from reading this book. It provokes further thought about the course of democracy in Fiji, and the very sorry state and future of Pacific history and the humanities in academia. Here is a timely assertion of the significance and major contribution that courageous scholars such as Brij have made to the study and public awareness of these areas of concern"--Jacqueline Leckie, University of Otago.
