The „Flecken Adelebsen“ at the edge of the „Solling“ in southern Lower-Saxony looks back to 300 years of jewish history. In 19th century it was named “Little Jerusalem” because of the high number of jewish habitants. Today only the jewish graveyard has outlived. The aim of this documentation is to tap this “House of Living” as a new historical resource and do a part of an outstanding and necessary mourning work.

"Orlando is known internationally as a tourist destination, attracting fifty million visitors each year to its numerous resorts and parks. In all that excitement it's easy to overlook the city's interesting past. In the 1800s, the area was embroiled in the Seminole Wars, and Fort Gatlin was constructed to shield citizens from attacks. Soon, a city grew around the fort. During the cowboy era, thousands of cattle, ranchers and cowboys crossed the central Florida terrain moving livestock. Those pioneers soon moved to farming, and Orlando became the center of the Florida citrus industry. Join author and historian James C. Clark as he reveals the remarkable history of one of the world's most popular destinations"-- "A brief history of Orlando, Florida"--

Can ownership of culture make sense? The interest in bringing cultural property to the market or preventing it and thereby creating collective or individual, ideological or economic profit is shaped by the strongly divergent conditions that actors find in a postcolonial, late modern world. The interdisciplinary DFG research group on the constitution of cultural property has been shedding light on this question, which has been dealt with in the public eye for a number of years. The research group asks about the constitution of cultural property in the area of ​​tension between cultural, economic, legal and hereby also socio-political discourses. This also necessitates the new collaboration in this focused form of specialists from the cultural and social sciences as well as law and economics. The diversity of disciplinary access to a research area is shown just as clearly in the first results from ongoing research conveyed in this volume, as is the need to bring disciplinary points of view together in a joint effort in order to understand the process of constituting cultural property.

"The publications of the interdisciplinary and internationally networked Research Platform “World Order – Religion – Violence” seek to improve our understanding of the relationship between religion, politics and violence. It therefore deals especially with the return of religious themes and symbols into politics, with the analysis of the link between political theory and religion, and finally with the critical discussion of the secularization thesis. At the centre of the research are questions concerning the causes of violent conflict, the possibilities for a just world order and the conditions for peaceful coexistence on a local, regional, national and international/worldwide scale between communities in the face of divergent religious and ideological convictions. Its task is to initiate and coordinate thematically related research-efforts from various disciplinary backgrounds at the University of Innsbruck. It creates a network between departments, research-teams and single researchers working on topics of religion, politics and violence. The overall aim of the research platform World Order-Religion-Violence is to promote excellence in social and human science research on religion and politics at the University of Innsbruck and to guarantee the diffusion of this particular competence on a national and international level." Ist Afrika ein Kontinent der Extreme? Es grenzte an Realitätsverweigerung, die zahlreichen Probleme zu negieren, mit denen die Menschen in diesem Kontinent konfrontiert sind. Gleichzeitig wäre es fahrlässig, mit kolonialem Blick darin zu verharren, Afrika ausschließlich über diese Probleme und Extreme zu definieren. Vielmehr ist der Kontinent in jeder Hinsicht vielfältig. Um seine Geschichte(n), Gegenwart(en) und Identität(en) angemessen in den Blick zu nehmen, bedarf es daher aber einer ebenso vielfältigen Herangehensweise. Diesem Ziel ist dieser Band verpflichtet, in dem sich in einem interdisziplinären Prozess verschiedene historische, politikwissenschaftliche, politökonomische, literaturwissenschaftliche und geografische Zugänge mit Fallstudien aus allen Regionen des Kontinents aufeinander zu bewegt haben. Ist also Afrika ein Kontinent der Extreme? Lesen Sie das Buch und urteilen Sie selbst.
