Brüchige Texte, Brüchige Identitäten
English summary: Historical and cultural caesurae have shaped the 20th and 21st centuries, whereas the conventional narrative is faltering. The works collected in this anthology explore literary texts by avant-garde authors and female writers with a migrant background which not only represent these interruptions in continuity but also cause caesurae themselves. The avant-garde stylistically breaks with conventional narrative forms and expressions. The change from printed paper to screens and digital programming changes the way language is written and read. Migrant exophone authors write differently to female authors who operate in their home culture and use their first language, thereby defy...
Rampart Nations
The “bulwark” or antemurale myth—whereby a region is imagined as a defensive barrier against a dangerous Other—has been a persistent strand in the development of Eastern European nationalisms. While historical studies of the topic have typically focused on clashes and overlaps between sociocultural and religious formations, Rampart Nations delves deeper to uncover the mutual transfers and multi-sided national and interconfessional conflicts that helped to spread bulwark myths through Europe’s eastern periphery over several centuries. Ranging from art history to theology to political science, this volume offers new ways of understanding the political, social, and religious forces that continue to shape identity in Eastern Europe.
Learning in the Museum
Learning in the Museum examines major issues and shows how research in visitor studies and the philosophy of education can be applied to facilitate a meaningful educational experience in museums. Hein combines a brief history of education in public museums, with a rigorous examination of how the educational theories of Dewey, Piaget, Vygotsky and subsequent theorists relate to learning in the museum. Surveying a wide range of research methods employed in visitor studies is illustrated with examples taken from museums around the world, Hein explores how visitors can best learn from exhibitions which are physically, socially, and intellectually accessible to every single visitor. He shows how museums can adapt to create this kind of environment, to provide what he calls the 'constructivist museum'. Providing essential theoretical analysis for students, this volume also serves as a practical guide for all museum professionals on how to adapt their museums to maximize the educational experience of every visitor.

Censoring History
Considering the great influence textbooks have as interpreters of history, politics and culture to future generations of citizens, it is no surprise that they generate considerable controversy. Focusing largely on textbook treatment of lingering - and sometimes explosive - tensions originating in World War II, "Censoring History" addresses issues of textbook nationalism in historical and comparative perspective. Discussions include Japan's Comfort Women and the Nanjing Massacre; Nazi genocide against the Jews, Gypsies, Catholics and others; Hiroshima and Nagasaki, and the Indochina wars. The essays address controversies over textbook content around the globe: How and why do specific representations of war evolve? What are the international and national forces affecting how textbook writers, publishers and state censors depict the past? How do these forces differ from country to country? Other comparative essays analyze nationalist and war controversies in German, US and Chinese textbook debates.

Brüchige Texte, brüchige Identitäten
Brüche prägen die Geschichte und Kultur des 20. und 21. Jahrhunderts; dabei ist auch das konventionelle Erzählen ins Stocken gekommen. Die Beiträge des Sammelbandes untersuchen literarische Texte von Autoren der Avantgarde und von Schriftstellerinnen mit Migrationshintergrund, die diese Unterbrechungen von Kontinuität repräsentieren, aber auch Brüche bewirken: Die Avantgarde bricht stilistisch mit konventionellen narrativen Formen und Ausdrucksweisen; der Wechsel von bedrucktem Papier zu Bildschirmen und digitaler Programmierung verändert das Schreiben und Lesen. Exophone Schriftsteller mit Migrationshintergrund schreiben anders als Autorinnen, die sich in ihrer Heimatkultur bewegen ...
