Emotions, Senses and Affects in the Context of Southeast Europe
The papers in this volume continue our focus on emotions of people in Southeast Europe. Grief and sadness are, of course, universal, but they take on different forms of expression. Strong emotional values are often attached to specific foods (e.g. the kurban), usually food is of great importance for labour migrants and in times of crisis. Likewise, dress can be of great emotional significance and value. Wars as well as communist collectivization often lead to emotional consequences such as trauma. Smells and tastes can become expressions of actual or remembered emotions, a fact that can also concern the researchers themselves. Klaus Roth is professor em. at the Institute for European Ethnology of Ludwig-Maximilians-University Munich. Milena Benovska is professor em. of the Dept. of Ethnology and Balkan Studies of the South-West University of Blagoevgrad, Bulgaria. Ana Luleva is Assoc. Prof. at the Institute of Ethnology and Folklore Studies of the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences in Sofia.

Social networks and social trust in the transformation countries
Einige zentrale Probleme der EU-Integration der post-sozialistischen Lander grunden im geringen institutionellen Vertrauen. Da - als Folge des Sozialismus - gegenuber dem Staat und seinen Institutionen eine "Kultur des offentlichen Misstrauens" herrscht, wird Vertrauen weiterhin primar in informelle soziale Netzwerke investiert: In allen Lebensbereichen kommt der Familie und dem Kreis vertrauenswurdiger Freunde, Mitschuler, Kollegen und Nachbarn eine uberragende Bedeutung zu. 18 Volkskundler, Ethnologen, Soziologen und Historiker prasentieren hier ihre empirischen Studien in Bulgarien, Estland, Polen, Rumanien, Russland, Serbien, Tschechien und der Slowakei. Sie zeigen den graduellen Wandel der Netzwerke wie auch nationale Unterschiede im Ausmass an offentlichem und privatem Vertrauen auf.
Nationalism in a Transnational Age
Nationalism was declared to be dead too early. A postnational age was announced, and liberalism claimed to have been victorious by the end of the Cold War. At the same time postnational order was proclaimed in which transnational alliances like the European Union were supposed to become more important in international relations. But we witnessed the rise a strong nationalism during the early 21st century instead, and right wing parties are able to gain more and more votes in elections that are often characterized by nationalist agendas. This volume shows how nationalist dreams and fears alike determine politics in an age that was supposed to witness a rather peaceful coexistence by those who...

Curating (Post-)Socialist Environments
In which ways are environments (post-)socialist and how do they come about? How is the relationship between the built environment, memory, and debates on identity enacted? What are the spatial, material, visual, and aesthetic dimensions of these (post-)socialist enactments or interventions? And how do such (post-)socialist interventions in environments become (re)curated? By addressing these questions, this volume releases ›curation‹ from its usual museological framing and carries it into urban environments and private life-worlds, from predominantly state-sponsored institutional settings with often normative orientations into spheres of subjectification, social creativity, and material commemorative culture.
Cultures of Crisis in Southeast Europe
Southeast Europe's history of the last two centuries is marked by deep transformations and upheavals: the emergence and disappearance of states; ethnic conflicts and wars; changes of political systems; economic crises; migration movements; and natural disasters. Most of these upheavals have been experienced as deep crises forcing people to adapt to often radically new situations. This can cause crisis management to become a permanent way of life. The book focuses on the cultures of crisis. It analyzes the reactions of societies or individuals to them, their impact on everyday life, on peoples' strategies of coping, on the processes of adaptation, and on peoples' attitudes. Focus is placed on crises relating to migration and post-socialist transformation, to politics and religion, and to labour relations.

Kultur_Kultur.
Kultur ist nicht nur seit nunmehr vier Jahrzehnten die zentrale Kategorie der Volkskunde und ihrer disziplinären Fortentwicklungen in Deutschland und darüber hinaus, Kultur ist - ungeachtet aller Problematik - auch eine der wirkmächtigsten Ordnungsvorstellungen der Moderne. Als Konzept der Selbstauslegung hat Kultur zu keiner Zeit eine ähnliche Reichweite und Anziehungskraft besessen wie heute, zugleich beschreibt sie ein Feld wachsender Ökonomien, ist weltweit Gegenstand politischen Handelns und nicht zuletzt Schlüsselbegriff und Fluchtpunkt einer Reihe von sich zusehends als Kulturwissenschaften verstehenden Fächern. Seit dem von Tübingen ausgehenden 'Abschied vom Volksleben' nimmt...
Fotoalben als Quellen der Zeitgeschichte
Die Beforschung von Fotoalben als historischer Quelle hat in den vergangenen zwei Jahrzehnten wesentliche Impulse erhalten. Das vorliegende Heft bietet einen Überblick über theoretische und methodische Entwicklungen im Feld der interdisziplinären, zeitgeschichtlich orientierten Albumforschung. Es versammelt Beiträge, die Albumpraktiken in verschiedenen geografischen Räumen, Gesellschaften, Kontexten und politischen Regimen von den 1920er-Jahren bis in die Gegenwart analysieren. Das Themenheft zeigt dabei vielfältige Perspektiven auf die Beforschung von Alben auf und streicht die Bedeutung dieser spezifischen visuellen Quellengattung für die zeitgeschichtliche Forschung heraus.
