Wolfgang Welsch demonstrates for the first time that transculturality – the mixed constitution of cultures – is by no means only a characteristic of the present, but has de facto determined the composition of cultures since time immemorial. The historical transculturality is demonstrated using examples from the arts. While transculturality was often viewed with reservation where political, social, or psychological levels were at stake, it was rather welcomed and appreciated in the field of art. The book therefore demonstrates the historical prevalence of transculturality via all areas of art and does so with respect to all cultures and continents of our world.

"The cultural effects of globalization constitute one of the most important challenges for the discipline of art history today. The aim of this publication is to take a critical look at art historical narratives. Based on transcultural object biographies, the volume brings together analyses of objects and images that circulate in transcultural contact zones: their histories of origin, circulation and perception slice through space and time. The histories of these objects and images thus demonstrate in exemplary fashion how knowledge and understanding can be generated, communicated or also challenged in cultural contact zones. Hence, the publication is designed as a methodological contribution to a transcultural art and cultural history. It is also conceived as an instrument for teaching and contains a critical-discursive glossary of key-terms that combines theory and practice of transcultural art history"-- Back cover.

Flüchtlinge in Deutschland: 2015 war der Sommer der Projekte. Im Umgang mit den durch Zuwanderung gegebenen Herausforderungen erwies sich die Zivilgesellschaft als außerordentlich kreativ und stellte sich neu auf. Jetzt ist es Zeit, Bilanz zu ziehen: Was hat sich bewährt, wo und wie konnte Nachhaltigkeit hergestellt werden? Welche Rolle spielte dabei ein gelingendes Zusammenwirken von Politik, Verwaltung und zivilgesellschaftlichen Akteuren? Der Band fragt aber auch nach den Gründen für gescheiterte Projekte: Wo und warum konnte das Engagement nicht durchgehalten werden? Schließlich werden die Folgen für die politische Kultur diskutiert: Wie hat das Engagement das Selbstverständnis der Zivilgesellschaft in Deutschland verändert?
