Public History and School
How do schools and public history influence each other? Cases studies focusing on school and public history around the world shed light on the intricate relationships between schools, students, teachers, policy makers and public historians. From why Robben Island is not included in South African curriculum to how German schools shape Holocaust memory, the case studies offered in this book sheds light on a current topic.
History of Intellectual Culture 1/2022
With concepts of participation discussed in multiple disciplines from media studies to anthropology, from political sciences to sociology, the first issue of the new yearbook History of Intellectual Culture (HIC) dedicates a thematic section to the way knowledge can and arguably must be conceptualized as "participatory". Introducing and exploring "participatory knowledge", the volume aims to draw attention to the potential of looking at knowledge formation and circulation through a new lens and to open a dialogue about how and what concepts and theories of participation can contribute to the history of knowledge. By asking who gets to participate in defining what counts as knowledge and in d...
Connected Histories
The World Wide Web (WWW) and digitisation have become important sites and tools for the history of the Holocaust and its commemoration. Today, some memory institutions use the Internet at a high professional level as a venue for self-presentation and as a forum for the discussion of Holocaust-related topics for potentially international, transcultural and interdisciplinary user groups. At the same time, it is not always the established institutions that utilise the technical possibilities and potential of the Internet to the maximum. Creative and sometimes controversial new forms of storytelling of the Holocaust or more traditional ways of remembering the genocide presented in a new way with...
Early Modern European Diplomacy
New Diplomatic History has turned into one of the most dynamic and innovative areas of research – especially with regard to early modern history. It has shown that diplomacy was not as homogenous as previously thought. On the contrary, it was shaped by a multitude of actors, practices and places. The handbook aims to characterise these different manifestations of diplomacy and to contextualise them within ongoing scientific debates. It brings together scholars from different disciplines and historiographical traditions. The handbook deliberately focuses on European diplomacy – although non-European areas are taken into account for future research – in order to limit the framework and ensure precise definitions of diplomacy and its manifestations. This must be the prerequisite for potential future global historical perspectives including both the non-European and the European world.
Former Neighbors, Future Allies?
German studies scholars from various disciplines often use and reference ethnography, yet do not often present ethnography as a core methodology and research approach. Former Neighbors, Future Allies? emphasizes how German studies engages in methods and theories of ethnography. Through a variety of topics and from multiple perspectives including literature, folklore, history, sociology, and anthropology, this volume draws attention to how ethnography bridges transdisciplinary and international research in German studies.
The Oxford Handbook of Public History
This volume also provides both currently practicing historians and those entering the field a map for understanding the historical landscape of the future: not just to the historiographical debates of the academy but also the boom in commemoration and history outside the academy evident in many countries since the 1990s, which now constitutes the historical culture in each country. Public historians need to understand both contexts, and to negotiate their implications for questions of historical authority and the public historian's work.
What Is Public History Globally?
Across the globe, history has gone public. With the rise of the internet, family historians are now delving into archives continents apart. Activists look into and recreate the past to promote social justice or environmental causes. Dark and difficult pasts are confronted at sites of commemoration. Artists draw on memory and the past to study the human condition and make meaning in the present. As a result of this democratisation of history, public history movements have now risen to prominence. This groundbreaking edited collection takes a comprehensive look at public history throughout the world. Divided into three sections - Background, Definitions and Issues; Approaches and Methods; and ...
Public History
The second edition of Public History: A Textbook of Practice offers an updated guide to the many opportunities and challenges that public history practitioners can encounter in the field. Historians can play a dynamic and essential role in contributing to public understanding of the past, and those who work in historic preservation, in museums and archives, in government agencies, as consultants, as oral historians, or who manage crowdsourcing projects need very specific skills. This book links theory and practice and provides students and practitioners with the tools to do public history in a wide range of settings. This new edition reflects how much the field of public history has changed ...
Vergangenheit als Zukunft?
Als ehemals größte Industrieregion Europas ist das Ruhrgebiet seit der Kohlekrise Ende der 1950er Jahre und der Stahlkrise Ende der 1970er Jahre einem tiefgreifenden wirtschaftlichen und sozialen Wandel unterworfen. Der Strukturwandel ließ nicht nur die soziale und wirtschaftliche Zukunft des Ruhrgebiets ungewiss werden, sondern stellte die Region als solche in Frage, da sie sich nicht durch naturräumliche, politische oder administrative Grenzen definierte, sondern über die wirtschaftliche Prägung durch Kohle und Stahl. Die Studie untersucht, inwiefern geschichtskulturelle Maßnahmen, die mit der wertschätzenden Erhaltung montanindustrieller Produktionsstandorte als Zeugnisse der Industriekultur begannen und im Kulturhauptstadtjahr 2010 gipfelten, als Reaktion auf die unsicher gewordene Zukunft der Region zu verstehen sind. Sie legt damit ein Konzept zur Analyse von Geschichtskultur als sozialem Feld vor, das neben der geschichtskulturellen Entwicklung des Ruhrgebiets im Speziellen auch Fragen zur Historisierung des Geschichtsbooms seit den 1970er Jahren im Allgemeinen adressiert.
Friedrich Hebbels Arbeit an Schiller
In einzelnen Werkvergleichen zwischen Friedrich Hebbel (1813-1863) und seinem großen Vorgänger Friedrich Schiller (1759-1805) mangelt es in der Forschung keineswegs. Systematisch ist jedoch dieses für manche gar selbstverständliche Rezeptionsverhältnis bisher nur selten behandelt worden. Das dramatische Werk Hebbels, der im letzten Lebensjahr den ersten Schiller-Preis erhielt, ist das Resultat seiner dauerhaften Auseinandersetzung mit Schiller, die von intendierter Kritik und faktischer Wahlverwandtschaft gekennzeichnet ist. Ausgehend von den historischen und theoretischen Schriften Hebbels untersucht diese Studie seine Ästhetik und Dramatik in Bezug auf Schiller, und profiliert die Id...
