Boom – Crisis – Heritage
Boom – Crisis – Heritage, these terms aptly outline the history of global coal mining after 1945. The essays collected in this volume explore this history with different emphases and questions. The range of topics also reflects this broad approach. The first section contains contributions on political, social and economic history. They address the European energy system in the globalised world of the 20th and 21st centuries as well as specific social policies in mining regions. The second section then focuses on the medialisation of mining and its legacies, also paying attention to the environmental history of mining. The anthology, which goes back to a conference of the same name at the Deutsches Bergbau-Museum Bochum, thus offers a multi-faceted insight into the research field of modern mining history.
The British Miner in the Age of De-Industrialization
The British coal industry no longer exists and yet the figure of the coal miner lives on in the British cultural imagination. In feature films and documentaries, miners are typically portrayed as proletarian traditionalists working in a dying industry. Taking this perspective, the 1984/85 miners' strike seems a desperate last stand against forces much bigger than the miners themselves -- not just the Thatcher government but the tide of historical change itself. In this ground-breaking study, Jörg Arnold challenges a declinist reading of the people working in one of Britain's most important energy industries. The study makes extensive use of previously inaccessible records to offer a new acc...
Deindustrialisation in Twentieth-Century Europe
Exploring two large economies which were heavily affected by deindustrialisation in the late twentieth century, this book provides insights into the social movements that brought about and also challenged industrial reduction in Europe. Both the Ruhr region in Germany and the Northwest of Italy experienced major structural transformation from the 1960s as a result of deindustrialisation. With contributions from experts in the field, this collection provides a comparative overview of each region, examining policy implementation, class relations, the changing political economy and environmental impact. Analysing industrial and post-industrial landscapes, urban developments and labour relations, the authors place their transnational findings within the context of the wider literature on deindustrialisation in the global North. A much-needed contribution to deindustrialisation studies, which have traditionally focused on North America and the UK, this book is a useful read for those researching deindustrialisation and the social history of Europe.
Making Histories
If historical culture is the specific and particular ways that a society engages with its past, this book aims to situate the professional practice of public history, now emerging across the world, within that framework. It links the increasingly varied practices of memory and history-making such as genealogy, podcasting, re-enactment, family histories, memoir writing, film-making and facebook histories with the work that professional historians do, both in and out of the academy. Making Histories asks questions about the role of the expert and notions of authority within a landscape that is increasingly concerned with connection to the past and authenticity. The book is divided into four parts: 1. Resistance, Rights, Authority 2. Memory, Memorialization, Commemoration 3. Performance, Transmission, Reception 4. Family, Private, Self The four sections outline major themes emerging in public history across the world in the 21st century which are all underpinned by the impact of new media on historical practice and our central argument for the volume which advocates a more capacious definition of what constitutes ‘public history‘.
Hoffnung Hauptschule
Ein Beitrag zur Zeitgeschichte der Schule und der westdeutschen Bildungsreform. Leistungssteigerung, Verwissenschaftlichung, sozialer Aufstieg – die Hoffnungen, die in den 1960er Jahren in Hauptschulen gesetzt wurden, waren groß. Die neuen Hauptschulen waren das Ergebnis umfassender Auseinandersetzungen über die Neugestaltung der Volksschule, einer Schulform, die von der überwiegenden Mehrheit der Kinder besucht wurde. Doch was Politiker:innen und Pädagog:innen unterschiedlichster Ausrichtung seit den späten 1950er Jahren umtrieb – von der Auflösung der alten Dorfschule bis zur Einrichtung von Jahrgangsklassen – wird heute kaum noch mit der Bildungsreformära in Verbindung gebrac...
Gewerkschaften im Gedächtnis der Demokratie
Welchen Platz nehmen die Kämpfe von Gewerkschaften und anderen sozialen Bewegungen in der kollektiven Erinnerung ein? Wie ist es um deren Errungenschaften bestellt? Was stärkt die Werte sozialer Demokratie in der Erinnerungskultur? Die Beiträger*innen des Bandes bieten erstmals ausführliche Einblicke in die Erinnerungsgeschichte sozialer Kämpfe und Auseinandersetzungen um Gleichheit, Freiheit und Gerechtigkeit. An wen oder an was erinnert wurde, erweist sich dabei immer auch als Machtfrage, als Kampf um Inklusion und Exklusion. Dieser Band stellt somit nicht nur einen ersten Schritt auf dem Weg zu einer Erinnerungsgeschichte sozialer Demokratie dar, sondern leistet auch einen Beitrag zur politischen Debatte der Gegenwart.

Il mistero della sciamana
Una sepoltura rituale. Una donna, un bambino. Le circostanze della morte inspiegate. Scoperta dai nazisti nel corso degli anni trenta e usata per i loro scopi di propaganda razziale, la tomba – rinvenuta nel cuore della Germania e risalente a 9000 anni fa – è poi caduta nell’oblio. Ora il caso irrisolto della sciamana di Bad Dürrenberg viene riaperto. E si tratta di uno dei ritrovamenti archeologici più interessanti d’Europa. I nazionalsocialisti avevano scambiato lo scheletro per quello di un vecchio dalla pelle chiara, un antenato degli ariani. In realtà, appartiene alla donna più importante della sua comunità: aveva la pelle scura, ed è stata una delle ultime “donne magic...
