The Moralization of Jewish Heritage in Germany
This book explores and reveals the intricacies of Jewish heritage in contemporary Germany, the role it plays as a "moral heritage" in the symbolic representation of Jews and Judaism in the national landscape, and its relevance for the cultural sustainability of local Jewish communities. The practice of synagogue music in the past and present is a central case study in the discussions. This ethnographic study examines how Jewish liturgical music as the cultural heritage of minorities has been constructed, treated, discussed, appropriated, and passed on to different actors in different forms and for different purposes over time. It also examines the resulting moral and ethical questions and po...
International Handbook of Practical Theology
Practical theology has outgrown its traditional pastoral paradigm. The articles in this handbook recognize that faith, spirituality, and lived religion, within and beyond institutional communities, refer to realms of cultures, ritual practices, and symbolic orders, whose boundaries are not clearly defined and whose contents are shifting. The International Handbook of Practical Theology offers insightful transcultural conceptions of religion and religious matters gathered from various cultures and traditions of faith. The first section presents ‘concepts of religion’. Chapters have to do with considerations of the conceptualizing of religion in the fields of ‘anthropology’, ‘communi...

The Routledge Companion to the Philosophy of Architectural Reconstruction
This companion investigates the philosophical and theoretical foundations determining the conditions of possibility and the limits that make the conservation, readaptation, and transformation of past buildings legitimate operations. As increasing ecological and economic challenges question opportunities for new construction, the process of restoring, transforming, and readapting buildings for new or continued use is becoming an essential part of architectural practice. At the same time, the role of building conservation is changing from mere material preservation to being part of a broader strategy for social regeneration, eco-awareness, and inclusive urban planning. Chapters of this volume ...

Heimatfabrik Lokalmuseum
Heimatfabrik Lokalmuseum bietet einen neuen Blick auf lokal verankerte Museen. Anhand von ausgewählten Fallbeispielen, die durch eine quantitative Untersuchung von etwa 370 Museen im Großherzogtum Luxemburg und in der belgischen Region Wallonien ergänzt werden, analysiert die Autorin, welche Identifikationsangebote bäuerliche Alltagsmuseen, Stadtmuseen, Industriemuseen, Kriegsmuseen und Auswanderermuseen ihren Besuchern bieten. Wen schließen die Museumsverantwortlichen durch ihre Erzählweisen ein und wen grenzen sie aus? Wie gehen sie mit sprachlichen, konfessionellen, kulturellen, sexuellen und sozialen Minderheiten um? Anhand der Themenbereiche bäuerlicher Alltag, Natur, Ein- und Auswanderung, Krieg sowie Industrie geht das Buch der Frage nach, wie interne und externe Stakeholder das vom Museum vermittelte Heimatbild und damit verbunden auch die nationale Geschichtskultur mitbestimmen. Das Buch möchte dazu beitragen, den Blick einer interessierten Öffentlichkeit für lokales Kulturerbe zu schulen sowie Historiker auf das Potenzial von lokalhistorischen Museen hinzuweisen.
