Abstract

Unter dem ungewissen Erwartungshorizont spätmoderner Gesellschaften treten verschiedene Vorstellungen kollektiver Identität in Konflikt. Jochen Kibel zeigt: Im Streit um das Neue Museum in Berlin und das Militärhistorische Museum in Dresden artikulierten sich unterschiedliche Kollektivierungsdiskurse, in denen die Vergangenheit nach den Anforderungen der Gegenwart umgeformt wurde. Der retrospektive Blick gewährt damit immer auch die prospektive Hoffnung auf eine bessere Vergangenheit. Die dynamischen Verhältnisse der Gegenwart bringen schließlich eine Form reflexiver Identitätsbildung hervor, in der auch die Fähigkeit anhaltender Selbstkritik in der Vergangenheit ›wiedergefunden‹ wird. Die Vorstellung einer wandlungsfähigen Identität gewährleistet dann ein Gleichbleiben im Strom der Zeit, durch beständige Kurskorrekturen.

Abstract

This book maps how working class life was transformed in England in the middle years of the twentieth century. National trends in employment, welfare and living standards are illuminated via a focus on Brighton, providing valuable new perspectives of class and community formation. Based on fresh archival research, life histories and contemporary social surveys, the book historicises important cultural and community studies which moulded popular perceptions of class and social change in the post-war period. It shows how council housing, slum clearance and demographic trends impacted on working-class families and communities. While suburbanisation transformed home life, leisure and patterns of association, there were important continuities in terms of material poverty, social networks and cultural practices.This book will be essential reading for academics and students researching modern and contemporary social and cultural history, sociology, cultural studies and human geography.

Abstract

This open access book crosses disciplinary boundaries to connect theories of environmental justice with Indigenous people’s experiences of freshwater management and governance. It traces the history of one freshwater crisis – the degradation of Aotearoa New Zealand’s Waipā River– to the settler-colonial acts of ecological dispossession resulting in intergenerational injustices for Indigenous Māori iwi (tribes). The authors draw on a rich empirical base to document the negative consequences of imposing Western knowledge, worldviews, laws, governance and management approaches onto Māori and their ancestral landscapes and waterscapes. Importantly, this book demonstrates how degraded freshwater systems can and are being addressed by Māori seeking to reassert their knowledge, authority, and practices of kaitiakitanga (environmental guardianship). Co-governance and co-management agreements between iwi and the New Zealand Government, over the Waipā River, highlight how Māori are envisioning and enacting more sustainable freshwater management and governance, thus seeking to achieve Indigenous environmental justice (IEJ). The book provides an accessible way for readers coming from a diversity of different backgrounds, be they academics, students, practitioners or decision-makers, to develop an understanding of IEJ and its applicability to freshwater management and governance in the context of changing socio-economic, political, and environmental conditions that characterise the Anthropocene.
