After its independence in 1957, Ghana sent specialists to both German states for professional education and training. This transnational entanglement history takes various perspectives to analyze the goals that Ghana, the FRG, and the GDR pursued with these programs during the Cold War and their respective development plans. It also takes into account the interests of Ghanaian specialists and the freedom they had to make their own decisions. Mit der Dekolonisation nahm die Bildungsmigration aus Afrika in den Globalen Norden schlagartig zu. Internationale Stipendienprogramme gewannen im Kontext des Kalten Krieges an Bedeutung. Aber auch für die Entwicklungspläne postkolonialer Staaten stellten sie ein wichtiges Instrument dar. Am Beispiel der berufspraktischen Bildungskooperation zwischen Ghana und den beiden deutschen Staaten zeigt Jana Otto auf der Grundlage ghanaischer und deutscher Quellen, welche Ziele alle drei Staaten dabei verfolgten und wie sich Konzepte, Herangehensweisen und Machtverhältnisse im Laufe der Zeit wandelten. Sie zeichnet nach, welche Interessen die ghanaischen Fachkräfte mit ihrer Teilnahme an den Fortbildungsprogrammen verbanden und welche Handlungsspielräume sie besaßen. Die transnationale Verflechtungsgeschichte erschließt nicht nur das bislang vernachlässigte Feld der berufspraktischen Bildungskooperation, sondern bereichert auch die ghanaische Zeitgeschichtsschreibung um neue Einsichten.

Bereits während des deutschen Vernichtungskrieges dokumentierten sowjetische Museumsmitarbeitende (muzejsciki) die Ereignisse. An der Front, im Hinterland und in den besetzten Gebieten sammelten sie Relikte des Kampfes, Leids und Überlebens. Ihre Ausstellungen zur Kommemoration des »Großen Vaterländischen Krieges« überraschen durch Heterogenität und große Resonanz. Anne E. Hasselmann setzt den Fokus auf die agency von muzejsciki und Museumsbesuchenden in der Musealisierung des Krieges und eröffnet somit neue Einblicke in die Gesellschaft im Stalinismus. Damit schließt sie eine Lücke in der Erinnerungsgeschichte des Krieges, der das Selbstverständnis der russischen Gesellschaft bis heute prägt.

As a pioneering volume to consider the impact of exile on historical scholarship in the twentieth century in a systematic and global way, looking at Europe, North America, South America and Asia, Dynamics of Emigration asks about epistemic repercussions on the experience of exile and exiles. Analyzing both the impact that exile scholars had on their host societies and on the societies they had to leave, the volume investigates exiles’ pathways to integration into new host societies and the many difficulties they face establishing themselves in new surroundings. Focusing on the age of extremes and the realms of exile from fascist and right-wing dictatorships as well as communist regimes, the contributions look at the reasons scholars have for going into exile while providing side-by-side examination of the support organizations and paths for success involved with living in exile.

“Emmanuel Buzay’s thesis, centered around the notion of writing and the question of the book, is fascinating. A whole new way of understanding anticipation novels opens up when we consider them as metafiction. A particularly original and promising approach.” —Alexandre Gefen, Director of Research, Institut des Sciences Humaines et Sociales du CNRS, France “Emmanuel Buzay’s absorbing book explores the overlap of literature and technology in contemporary French and Francophone works of science fiction and other future-oriented novels. The current tug-of-war between technophilia and technophobia provides the background before which Buzay’s arguments unfold, endowing them with an urgency that many scholarly books on contemporary literature do not have.” —Christy Wampole, Professor, Princeton University This book sheds a new light on the metafictional aspects of futuristic and science fiction novels, at the crossroads of information and media studies, possible worlds theories applied to cognitive narratology, questions related to the criticism of post-humanity, and, more broadly, contemporary French and Francophone literature. It examines the fictional minds of characters and their conceptions of resistance to the anticipated worlds they inhabit, particularly in novels by Pierre Bordage, Marie Darrieussecq, Michel Houellebecq, Amin Maalouf, Jean-Christophe Rufin, Antoine Volodine, and Élisabeth Vonarburg. It also explores how corporal postures serve as a matrix for philosophical quests in novels by Amélie Nothomb, Alain Damasio, and Romain Lucazeau. More specifically, from the fictional readers’ points of view, it provides a critical approach to the mythologies of writing, in the wake of the French philosophical tales by authors including Cyrano de Bergerac and Voltaire, to question the traditionally expressed formulations of the mythologies of writing, that is, of the metaphors of the book (the book of life, nature, and the world), to rethink the idea of a humanity within its limits.
