The objective of entangled history and the environment is to introduce climatic and other environmental factors into the postcolonial debate on the unequal power relations between the metropolis and its colonies. Dealing with both environment and empire, as well as unequal (colonial) power relations, has so far largely occurred in separate fields, environmental history, and postcolonial studies. The book attempts to bring the two strands together and to combine the conceptual perspective of intertwined history and comparative practices in order to highlight both material and constructed (or discursive) aspects of the environment as a factor in the formation of unequal (colonial) power relations. Two case studies are conducted through this conceptual lens. The first offers a new perspective on Christopher Columbus' first contact with the Arawak in Hispaniola in 1492. The second examines how climate became an argument for enslaving Africans and displacing them to sugar plantations in the Caribbean.

Der erste Themenband des neu konzipierten JKGE fragt nach den Spezifika von Bildungspraktiken und -prozessen während der Aufklärungsepoche in den oftmals plurikulturellen und mehrsprachigen Regionen des östlichen Europa. Im Kontext einer global ausgerichteten Erforschung der Aufklärung und der ‚entangled history‘ stehen Fragen nach Transfer, Übersetzung, Vernetzung, Interferenzen, Ungleichzeitigkeiten und Ambivalenzen im Vordergrund: Wie verorten sich die Praktiken der Bildung zwischen Rationalität und kolonialem Blick? Inwiefern waren Bildungsinitiativen und Bildungspraktiken, insbesondere der Volksaufklärung, mit Machtstrukturen verbunden? Wie gestaltete sich der Übergang von religiösen zu stärker rationalen Wissens- und Bildungspraktiken? Wissenschaftler/innen aus Deutschland, Estland, Österreich, Polen, Tschechien und Ungarn nehmen Aspekte aus Politik, Wissenschaft, Bildung, Kirche und Kultur in den Blick. The first issue of the newly designed Journal for Culture and History of the Germans in Eastern Europe (JKGE) addresses the specific conditions of education practices and education processes in the era of Enlightenment in Eastern Europe and its pluricultural and multilingual regions. Research on the Enlightenment period and on ‘entangled history’ has recently gained a more global focus, and this has foregrounded questions of transfer, translation, networking, interferences, asynchronicity and ambivalence. Were educational practices guided by rationality or by a spirit of colonialism, or somewhere along the spectrum between these? To what extent did the structures of authority exercise an influence on educational initiatives and practices, especially those in popular education? How did the multiconfessional context of Eastern Europe affect the transition from religious education to strongly rational ways of organizing knowledge and education? Researchers from Germany, Estonia, Austria, Poland, the Czech Republic and Hungary focus on aspects of education practices in politics, science, education, church life and culture.

The volume examines translation of key German texts into the modern Indian languages as well as translation from the vernacular languages of South Asia into German. Our key concerns are shifting historical contexts, concepts, and translation practices. Bringing an intellectual history dimension to translation studies, we explore the history of translation, translators, and sites of translation. The organization of the volume follows some key questions. Which texts were being translated? At what point or period in time did this happen? What were the motivations behind these translations? Topics covered range from thematic nodes or clusters, e.g., translations of Economics texts and ideas into Urdu, or the translation of Marx and Engels into Marathi, to personal endeavours, such as the first Hindi translation of Goethe's Faust done by Bholanath Sharma in 1939. Missionary as well as Marxist activist translation work from Malayalam, Tamil and Telugu is included too. On the other hand, German translations of Tagore and Gandhi setting in shortly after 1912 are also examined. Also discussed are political strategies of publication of translations from modern Indian languages guiding the output of publishing houses in the GDR after 1949. Further included are the translator's perspective and the contemporary translation and literary culture. What happens through the process of linguistic translation in the realm of cultural translation? What can a historical study of translation tell us about the history of Indo-German intellectual entanglements in the long twentieth century? The volume brings together multifaceted interdisciplinary research work from South Asian and German studies to answer some of these questions.

"Legal History presents a broad panorama of historical processes that trigger theoretical reflections on legal transfers and legal transplants and on the problem of the reception and assimilation laws and other modes of normativity. In this volume, legal historians across the globe reflect on their analytical traditions and present case studies in order to discuss how entangled histories of law can be understood, analyzed and written.In the first section of this volume, ‘Traditions of Transnational Legal History’, the authors revisit specific achievements and shortcomings of legal historical research against the backdrop of postcolonial and global studies. Reflections on our own disciplinary traditions that reveal the path-dependencies include critical accounts on the tradition of ‘European Legal History’, ‘Codification history’, the emergence of ‘Hindu Law’, and the methodological aspects of Comparative Law.The four articles in the second section, ‘Empires and Law’, showcase entangled legal histories forged in imperial spaces, for instance, through treaties concluded in the spheres of influence of ancient Roman Empire, which in this instance is analyzed as a process of ‘narrative transculturation’. Analogously, transnational institutions adjudicating merchant-disputes in the Early Modern Spanish Empire and normative frameworks constructed in a multilingual space shortly after its decline are analyzed as ‘diffusion and hybridization’. And finally, the spotlight is cast on the so-called ‘craftsmen of transfer’ and the bureaucrats that took practical comparative law as the basis to design the German colonial law.In the third section, ‘Analyzing transnational law and legal scholarship in 19th and early 20th century’, seven case studies offer theoretical reflections about entangled legal histories. The discussions range from civil law codifications in Latin America as ‘reception’ or ‘normative transfers’, entangled histories of constitutionalism as ‘translations’ and ‘legal transfer’, formation of transnational legal orders in 19th century International Law and the International Law on state bankruptcies to the impact of transnational legal scholarship on criminology. All articles engage in methodological reflections and discussions about their concrete application in legal historical research."

Muslims in Interwar Europe provides a comprehensive overview of the history of Muslims in interwar Europe. Based on personal and official archives, memoirs, press writings and correspondences, the contributors analyse the multiple aspects of the global Muslim religious, political and intellectual affiliations in interwar Europe. They argue that Muslims in interwar Europe were neither simply visitors nor colonial victims, but that they constituted a group of engaged actors in the European and international space.
