Neue Forschungen zum Nachleben Ägyptens The material and intellectual presence of Egypt is at the heart of Western culture, religion and art from Antiquity to the present. This volume aims to provide a long term and interdisciplinary perspective on Egypt and its mnemohistory, taking theories on objects and their agency as its main point of departure. The central questions the book addresses are why, from the first millennium BC onwards, things and concepts Egyptian are to be found in such a great variety of places throughout European history and how we can account for their enduring impact over time. By taking a radically object-oriented perspective on this question, this book is also a major contribution to current debates on the agency of artefacts across archaeology, anthropology and art history.

How should we understand social memory in the age of new media? Classic sociology described the ways in which social memory was enacted through ritual, language art, architecture and institution - phenomena whose persistence over time and whose capacity for a shared storing of the past was contrasted with fleeting individual memory. Society is memory, Émile Durkheim stated. However, today's new time technologies compel us to rethink this concept of memory and its emphasis on a shared past. For in the age of digital computing, instant updating and transfer functions and interconnection through real time networks give an unprecedented priority to the present and the future, while challenging the very distinction between individual and collective memory. New media technologies raise the question of the temporalities of memory to a principle, challenging not just the classic description of social memory, but also the social ontology that it presupposes. 'Memory in Motion: Archives, Technology and the Social' discusses the new technologies of memory from perspectives that explicitly investigate their impact on the very conceptualization of the social.

Die Vertreibung der Deutschen im östlichen Europa infolge des Zweiten Weltkriegs gehört zu den umstrittensten Themen der deutschen Zeitgeschichte; denn die Geschichte und vielfältigen Erfahrungen der Vertriebenen sind trotz aufwändiger Quellen- sowie Zeitzeugeneditionen und vieler Detailstudien wenig bekannt. Wer wurde wo und wann von wem warum vertrieben?Das vorliegende Buch klärt anhand einer umfassenden Untersuchung des Erinnerns im breitesten Sinne des Wortes zahlreiche bis heute kursierende Legenden, während es zugleich die ihnen zugrunde liegenden Vorgänge erläutert. Somit entsteht ein detailreiches Bild der gemeinhin als Vertreibung erinnerten Ereignisse. Zugleich zeigt diese Geschichte des öffentlichen Erinnerns, wie jenes Geschehen zwar häufig, meist aber nur metaphorisch erwähnt worden ist, wie manche Berichte der Betroffenen oft wiederholt worden, andere in Vergessenheit geraten sind, und wie aus gefestigten Redewendungen ein Mythos Vertreibung entstanden ist.

Wie keine andere historische Persönlichkeit dominiert Wenzel das kulturelle Bewusstsein des aktuellen und historischen Böhmens. Wie stark sich die Erinnerung an diese Gründerfigur über die Jahrhunderte gewandelt hat, zeichnen renommierte Autoren anschaulich nach. Kaum ein Land kann auf eine ähnlich kontinuierliche Staatssymbolik zurückblicken wie Böhmen bzw. das heutige Tschechien: Der heilige Wenzel/Vaclav galt als Staatsgründer, mittelalterlicher Schlachtenhelfer, als ewiger Herrscher und unangefochtener Mittelpunkt des kulturellen Gedächtnisses. Das ist er bis heute geblieben. Der böhmische Fürst Wenzel forcierte im 10. Jahrhundert die Christianisierung sowie den kulturellen Ausbau des Landes. Mit ihm verbindet sich noch heute eine doppelte Tradition: Sowohl Slawen als auch Deutsche nahmen und nehmen ihn für ihre eigene kulturelle Identität in Anspruch. Ein internationales Expertenteam untersucht die Bedeutung der zentralen Erinnerungsfigur für die unterschiedlichen gesellschaftlichen und konfessionellen Gruppen über die Jahrhunderte hinweg. Stefan Samerski ist Professor für Kirchengeschichte und lehrt in München und Berlin.

Nearly all recent examinations of Icelandic (and Scandinavian) folklore from the nineteenth century and earlier have concerned themselves with the origins and production of folktales rather than with the cultural implications of their content. This volume extends those discussions by offering an interdisciplinary methodology that weaves together the literature, religious and political history, and other cultural phenomena that have impacted folk narratives as evidence of the emergent cultural memory of a society undergoing the religious developments of Christianization and Reformation. Iceland's uncommon proclivity towards storytelling, its robust tradition of medieval manuscripts, and the "re-oralization" of those narratives after the medieval period, create a body of folktales and legends that have encoded a hidden account of how orthodox and heterodox beliefs (sometimes pagan in origin) intermingled as Christianity, and later Reformation, spread through the North. This volume unlocks that secret story by placing Icelandic folktales in a context of religious doctrine, social history, and Old Norse sagas and poetry. The analysis herein reveals a cultural memory of belief.
