Connected Histories
The World Wide Web (WWW) and digitisation have become important sites and tools for the history of the Holocaust and its commemoration. Today, some memory institutions use the Internet at a high professional level as a venue for self-presentation and as a forum for the discussion of Holocaust-related topics for potentially international, transcultural and interdisciplinary user groups. At the same time, it is not always the established institutions that utilise the technical possibilities and potential of the Internet to the maximum. Creative and sometimes controversial new forms of storytelling of the Holocaust or more traditional ways of remembering the genocide presented in a new way with...
Discourses of Anxiety over Childhood and Youth across Cultures
This book revolves around neoliberal notions governing children and youth – a trend that permeates and dominates contemporary perceptions of "the young." In fact, given how the disciplinary power of neoliberalism swiftly becomes a common conceptual currency across national and cultural borders, discussing the way in which neoliberal self-governance permeates the cultures of childhood and youth is even more pertinent. This is followed by research on media discourses of children and their cultural practices in Norway, Germany, Austria and Switzerland, Serbia, Greece, and the US.
Revisiting the National Socialist Legacy
Since the mid-1990s, political, legal, and historical debates about Nazi theft and confiscation of property, the use of slave labor during World War II, and restitution and compensation have reemerged. Revisiting the National Socialist Legacy presents completely new historical research on these issues conducted worldwide.This volume responds to concern about Holocaust era assets in Europe, the United States, and Latin America. It focuses on both reexamination of the history of National Socialist property theft and employment of forced labor in the wartime economy, and the compensation and restitution solutions advanced in various European and Latin American countries since 1945.
Nazis on the Run
This is the story of how Nazi war criminals escaped from justice at the end of the Second World War by fleeing through the Tyrolean Alps to Italian seaports, and the role played by the Red Cross, the Vatican, and the Secret Services of the major powers in smuggling them away from prosecution in Europe to a new life in South America. The Nazi sympathies held by groups and individuals within these organizations evolved into a successful assistance network for fugitive criminals, providing them not only with secret escape routes but hiding places for their loot. Gerald Steinacher skillfully traces the complex escape stories of some of the most prominent Nazi war criminals, including Adolf Eichm...
Sexuality and Consumption
In western societies today, it goes almost without saying that sex and consumption are closely related. On the one hand, there is a plethora of commercial goods and services that shape sexual desires, and practices. On the other, there are scarcely any products or services that do not lend themselves to sexually charged advertising and mass media communication. This volume focuses on forms of hybridization of these equally suggestive notions.
Nazis and Nazi Sympathizers in Latin America after 1945
Aside from the prominent perpetrators such as Adolf Eichmann, Josef Mengele or Klaus Barbie, there were numerous other cases of Nazis and Nazi sympathizers from Germany and Austria who ended up in Latin America after 1945. Their life trajectories, professional activities, and contacts to local elites in their new homes have hardly been subject to systematic research to date. Their new lives in Latin America, their careers e.g. as diplomats, secret service agents or scientists are therefore a main focus of this volume. The biographies of these people and their networks are woven into the larger political, social, and scientific contexts of postwar Europe and Latin America, especially in the early Cold War period.
Jahrbuch Medienpädagogik 7
Das Verhältnis von Medienpädagogik und Politik ist in den letzten Jahren nur noch wenig thematisiert worden. Dieser Band belegt die Aktualität dieser Fragestellung und stellt den Stand der Diskussion dar. Theoretisch wird nach Hypothesen zum Zusammenhang politischer, medialer und pädagogischer Logiken gefragt. Vor diesem Hintergrund wird die Aufgabe der Medienpädagogik angesichts der Verflechtung von Politik und Medien neu definiert - dies unter Einbezug der Möglichkeiten und Chancen der Herstellung alternativer Öffentlichkeiten über traditionelle Medien und über die neuen Informations- und Kommunikationstechnologien.
Love against all Reason
It was during a party at the university, in a Czechoslovakia then under communist rule, that Hélène Krulich, nicknamed here Léna, met Abdol Rahman Ghassemlou. In her slight accent, she thinks he is Slovak. He is Kurdish, Muslim, but claims to be unbeliever. To be able to marry her at the Iranian embassy in Prague, Lena converted to Islam. In convoking, she marries with him the Kurdish cause: her husband will become, over the years, general secretary of the Democratic Party of Kurdistan of Iran (PDKI) and the most respected leader among the Kurdish movements of his country, and elsewhere. Lena and Abdol Rahman move to Tehran. What is exceptional about Lena is the love she will now bring to...
