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...
Is it possible for two objects to be in two places at once? Can cause and effect happen in reverse? Are you curious about the physics of baseball? Is time travel possible? Believe it or not, it is possible: welcome to the Quantum World! Unlike other arguments, however, the real difficulty is not in understanding, but in accepting something completely senseless, precisely in the right meaning of the term: not sensible, that is, contrary to the perception of our senses. You will notice that quantum mechanics is much "easier" than the theory of relativity. In fact, you could get a child to help you digest certain concepts. The great difficulty does not lie in their complexity, but their absurdi...
Anthropological Abstracts is a reference journal published once a year in print, and it lists - in English language - most publications in the field of cultural/social anthropology published in the German language area (Austria, Germany, and Switzerland). Since many of these publications have been written in German, and most German publications in anthropology are not included in the major English language abstracting services, Anthropological Abstracts offers a convenient source of information for anthropologists and social scientists in general who do not read German. Included are journal articles, monographs, anthologies, exhibition catalogs, yearbooks, etc. Most abstracts are authored by the editor, while others are specified accordingly. The journal has been edited by Ulrich Oberdiek since 1993 (formerly: Abstracts in German Anthropology; since 2002: Anthropological Abstracts). (Series: Anthropological Abstracts - Cultural/Social Anthropology from German-speaking Countries - Vol. 8)
Martin Tschiggerl analysiert in diesem Buch die diskursive Konstruktion nationaler Identität und Alterität in der Sportberichterstattung der drei Nachfolgegesellschaften des NS-Staats. In dieser Untersuchung zeigt sich, dass nationale Identität sowohl in der DDR als auch in Österreich deutlich offensiver konstruiert wurde als in der BRD. Die Divergenz in der Konstruktion nationaler Identität und Alterität mit der DDR und Österreich auf der einen und der BRD auf der anderen Seite zeigt die langen Schatten der NS-Zeit als identitätskonkrete Konstante des jeweiligen kollektiven Gedächtnisses auf: Unsere Vorstellungen davon, was einmal war, bestimmen unsere Vorstellungen davon, was ist und was einmal sein kann.

Der Doppelband 139/140 des Jahrbuchs für die Geschichte des Protestantismus in Österreich versammelt Beiträge, die auf Vorträgen bei der Tagung "evangelisches:erinnern" (Wien, April 2023) basieren. Die Beiträge gehen den Fragen nach, wie Evangelische erinnern, wie "Evangelisches" erinnert wird und welche Erinnerungskulturen sich inner- und außerhalb des österreichischen Protestantismus identifizieren lassen. Expert:innen aus unterschiedlichen wissenschaftlichen Bereichen sowie Repräsentant:innen lokaler Erinnerungsinitiativen und ‐projekte aus Pfarrgemeinden und Museen suchen nach Spuren verschütteter Erinnerung, fragen nach praktizierten Erinnerungskulturen, nach Selbst- und nach...
