Next-Generation Memory and Ukrainian Canadian Children’s Historical Fiction
This is the first book monograph devoted to Anglophone Ukrainian Canadian children’s historical fiction published between 1991 and 2021. It consists of five chapters offering cross-sectional and interdisciplinary readings of 41 books – novels, novellas, picturebooks, short stories, and a graphic novel. The first three chapters focus on texts about the complex process of becoming Ukrainian Canadian, showcasing the experiences of the first two waves of Ukrainian immigration to Canada, including encounters with Indigenous Peoples and the First World War Internment. The last two chapters are devoted to the significance of the cultural memory of the Holodomor, the Great Famine of 1932-1933, a...
The Frontline
The Frontline presents a selection of essays drawn together for the first time to form a companion volume to Serhii Plokhy’s The Gates of Europe and Chernobyl. Here he expands upon his analysis in earlier works of key events in Ukrainian history, including Ukraine’s complex relations with Russia and the West, the burden of tragedies such as the Holodomor and World War II, the impact of the Chernobyl nuclear disaster, and Ukraine’s contribution to the collapse of the Soviet Union. Juxtaposing Ukraine’s history to the contemporary politics of memory, this volume provides a multidimensional image of a country that continues to make headlines around the world. Eloquent in style and comprehensive in approach, the essays collected here reveal the roots of the ongoing political, cultural, and military conflict in Ukraine, the largest country in Europe.
2023
This thirteenth volume of the International Yearbook of Futurism Studies explores some of the many facets of Neo-Futurism from the second half of the twentieth century to the present day. It looks both at the revival and the continuation of Futurist aesthetics, whether in explicit or palimpsest form, in a variety of media: literature, visual art, design, music, architecture, theatre and photography. The essays delve into the broad spectrum of artistic research and offer a good dozen case studies that document, with a transnational and interdisciplinary orientation, the manifold forms of Neo-Futurism in various parts of the world. They investigate how historical Futurism's intellectual and artistic perspective was appropriated and developed further in a more or less conscious, faithful and original way, all the while confronting its progenitor's cultural, social and political misconceptions. Interdisciplinary contributions to neo-futurism as a global phenomenon
Geschichte und Region / Storia e regione 31/2 (2022)
Mary Louise Pratt führte das Konzept der transkulturellen Kontaktzonen für die Beschreibung von überseeischen Kolonialraumen ein, doch erlaubt ihre flexible Definition sozialer Räume auch die Anwendung auf andere Regionen und Räume. So greift dieses Heft von "Geschichte und Region/Storia e regione" die Impulse, die Pratts Konzept anstößt, auf für die Untersuchung von Regionen in Zentraleuropa um 1900: Dabei richten die Aufsätze den Fokus auf die Habsburgermonarchie, während die Forumsbeiträge die räumlichen und zeitlichen Perspektiven erweitern. Die Schwerpunkte liegen bei Fragen der Mehrsprachigkeit, transnationaler oder transkultureller Kooperation sowie Wissenspraktiken in Kontaktzonen.
Nationale Wissenschaft zwischen zwei Imperien
Welche Faktoren beeinflussten die Wissensproduktion nicht-dominanter Gruppen in hierarchisierten Kontakträumen? Der Band geht dieser Frage anhand der ukrainischen Ševčenko-Gesellschaft der Wissenschaften im habsburgischen Galizien des späten 19./frühen 20. Jahrhunderts nach, als die ukrainische Wissenschaftslandschaft nahezu monozentrisch auf diesen Verein ausgerichtet war. Durch das Prisma des Vereinsgeschehens lässt sich deshalb die aufkeimende ukrainischsprachige Wissenschaft mit einem Fokus auf imperiale und transnationale Austauschprozesse erforschen. Diese europäische Verflechtungsgeschichte arbeitet die Möglichkeiten, Grenzen und Abgrenzungen der ukrainischen Wissenschaft heraus, die sie bei ihrem Ziel prägten, die Existenz der Ukraine wissenschaftlich zu rechtfertigen.
Architektur und Staatsbildung
Eine interdisziplinäre Analyse von Aushandlungsprozessen staatlicher Herrschaft am Beispiel des habsburgischen Befestigungsbaus in Galizien nach 1848. Die Revolution von 1848/49 stellte die Habsburgermonarchie vor existentielle Herausforderungen. Nur mit militärischer Gewalt konnte dieser Staat zusammengehalten und die habsburgische Herrschaft im Inneren gesichert werden. Die folgenden Jahre waren gekennzeichnet von einer überragenden Stellung des Militärs und einer umfassenden Modernisierung des habsburgischen Staates. Frank Rochow zeigt an Fallstudien zu Lemberg und Krakau, dass Befestigungsbauten nicht nur Ausdruck, sondern auch ein wesentliches Instrument zur Umsetzung dieses Prozess...
Identities In-Between in East-Central Europe
This volume addresses the question of ‘identity’ in East-Central Europe. It engages with a specific definition of ‘sub-cultures’ over the period from c. 1900 to the present and proposes novel ways in which the term can be used with the purpose of understanding identities that do not conform to the fixed, standard categories imposed from the top down, such as ‘ethnic group’, ‘majority’ or ‘minority’. Instead, a ‘sub-culture’ is an identity that sits between these categories. It may blend languages, e.g. dialect forms, cultural practices, ethnic and social identifications, or religious affiliations as well as concepts of race and biology that, similarly, sit outside national projects.
Right Research
The book is current and interdisciplinary, engaging with recent developments around this topic and including perspectives from sciences, arts, and humanities. It will be a welcome contribution to studies of the Anthropocene as well as studies of research methods and practices. —Sam Mickey, University of S. Francisco Educational institutions play an instrumental role in social and political change, and are responsible for the environmental and social ethics of their institutional practices. The essays in this volume critically examine scholarly research practices in the age of the Anthropocene, and ask what accountability educators and researchers have in ‘righting’ their relationship t...
