Religion and identity
The role of religious identity in social communities has gained importance in the past few years, as many questions about individual and collective identity have been brought up in the fields of science and everyday life. Religion, despite the process of secularisation, remains an important component of human identity. Increasingly, religion is also becoming an object of political influence. This volume argues that religion actually determinates various phenomena in the political sphere today.
Thinking Through Transition
This book is the first concentrated effort to explore the most recent chapter of East Central European past from the perspective of intellectual history. Post-socialism can be understood both as a period of scarcity and preponderance of ideas, the dramatic eclipsing of the dissident legacy?as well as the older political traditions?and the rise of technocratic and post-political governance. This book, grounded in empirical research sensitive to local contexts, proposes instead a history of adaptations, entanglements, and unintended consequences. In order to enable and invite comparison, the volume is structured around major domains of political thought, some of them generic (liberalism, conservatism, the Left), others (populism and politics of history) deemed typical for post-socialism. However, as shown by the authors, the generic often turns out to be heavily dependent on its immediate setting, and the typical resonates with processes that are anything but vernacular.

Polish Culture in Britain
This edited volume explores the historical, cultural and literary legacies of Polish Britain, and their significance for both the British and Polish nations. The focus of the book is twofold. First, it investigates the history of Polish immigration and the ways in which Polish immigrants have conceptualised their own experiences and encounters with Britain and the British. Second, it examines how Poles and Poland have been represented by Anglophone writers in both fictional and non-fictional forms of discourse. Inevitably, these issues are intertwined. Polish experiences of Britain have been shaped, in part, by British ideas about Poland, just as British notions of Poland have been transformed by the emergence of large and culturally active Polish communities in the UK. By studying these issues together, this volume develops a wide-ranging and original analysis of Polish Britain.

Luther und die Reformation in internationalen Geschichtskulturen
Was schreiben Schulbücher zum Thema Reformation? Wie deuten sie das Wirken Martin Luthers? Wie stellen sie die Rolle der katholischen Kirche dar und wie nehmen sich Museen, Romane und andere Manifestationen der Geschichtskultur des Themas an? Das Buch reflektiert die Antworten auf diese Fragen im Licht geschichtsdidaktischer Diskurse. Es zeigt zudem, wie ehemals sozialistische Länder nach 1989/1991 das Thema neu entdeckten, und reißt mit zwei asiatischen Sichtweisen die globale Dimension der Rezeption dieses früher vorwiegend aus westlicher Perspektive reflektierten Themas an. In diesem Sinne soll dieser Band dazu beitragen, Geschichtsunterricht multiperspektivisch zu bereichern. What do...
Oberschlesien und sein kulturelles Erbe
Marcin Wiatr leistet einen Beitrag zur Rekonstruktion, aber auch zur Versachlichung und Weiterentwicklung des seit 1989 in Polen geführten bildungspolitischen Diskurses über die Aufarbeitung und Aneignung des deutschen Kulturerbes. Im Zentrum des Projektes steht »Oberschlesien« – einerseits als Gegenstand einer erinnerungspolitischen Untersuchung, andererseits als Schauplatz virulenter bildungspolitischer Entwicklungen, die symbolisch in das erstmalig erscheinende Geschichtsbuch zur Regionalkunde Oberschlesiens einfließen. Ziel der Studie ist, der bildungspolitischen Debatte in Polen wie Deutschland eine verlässliche Basis zu geben, um (auch) deutsches Kulturerbe als Europäisierungsmoment der oberschlesischen Geschichte zu begreifen. Weiter will sie andeuten, wie Oberschlesien als ein multikulturell geprägter Erinnerungsort im Unterricht erfolgreich vermittelt werden kann.
Das "Pruzzenland" als geteilte Erinnerungsregion
English summary: "Pruzzenland" is a region in north-eastern Europe which has historically been influenced by a diverse range of cultural and multi-ethnic traditions and found itself the subject of competing territorial claims made by Germany, Poland, Lithuania and Russia. The alterations to national borders and the almost wholesale change in the region's population in the aftermath of the Second World War were doubtless the most profound ruptures and transformations faced by the area. In recent times, issues around remembering and coming to terms with the past have become crucial resources in the search for regional identity in Poland, Lithuania and Russia. This book, spanning the twentieth ...
