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.

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.

Gradually the historians of education have broken out of the traditional school museums — which are no longer the sole places to communicate research findings with the wider public — and gone beyond the traditional publication formats. Indeed, they started exploring how to work with the [educational] past in the present, experimenting with presenting the educational past in new ways, and reflecting on how these new forms of mediation and musealisation of sources impacts the research and the (hi)stories told. By zooming in on three themes, musealisation, new ways of exhibiting, and historical storytelling —, this edited volume illustrates the vitality of the history of education, as field of study, and demonstrates its adaptability to the “changing contexts” of its public function. So, rather than being an “endangered species”, the historians of education seem to get fit for the future by showing traditional craftsmanship as well as “engagement with” and “appropriation of” (interdisciplinary) approaches of thinking with the past in the present for wider audiences — stances which are richly illustrated in the various contributions. With respect to public issues, history matters. With the worldwide interest for historical issues related with gender, religion, race, nation, and identity, public history is becoming the strongest branch of academic history. This volume brings together the contributions from historians of education about their engagement with public history, ranging from musealisation and alternative ways of exhibiting to new ways of storytelling.
