Refugees from Nazi-occupied Europe in British Overseas Territories
Refugees from Nazi-occupied Europe in British Overseas Territories focusses on exiles and forced migrants in British colonies and dominions in Africa or Asia and in Commonwealth countries. The contributions deal with aspects such as legal status and internment, rescue and relief, identity and belonging, the Central European encounter with the colonial and post-colonial world, memories and generations or knowledge transfers and cultural representations in writing, painting, architecture, music and filmmaking. The volume covers refugee destinations and the situation on arrival, reorientation–and very often further migration after the Second World War–in Australia, Canada, India, Kenya, Palestine, Shanghai, Singapore, South Africa and New Zealand. Contributors are: Rony Alfandary, Gerrit-Jan Berendse, Albrecht Dümling, Patrick Farges, Brigitte Mayr, Michael Omasta, Jyoti Sabharwal, Sarah Schwab, Ursula Seeber, Andrea Strutz, Monica Tempian, Jutta Vinzent, Paul Weindling, and Veronika Zwerger.
Migration in Austria
The interdisciplinary volume offers methodologically innovative approaches to Austria's coping with issues of migration past and present. These essays show Austria's long history as a migration country. Austrians themselves have been on the move for the past 150 years to find new homes and build better lives. After the World War II the economy improved and prosperity set in, so Austrians tended to stay at home. Austria's growing prosperity made the country attractive to immigrants. After the war, tens of thousands of "ethnic Germans" expelled from Eastern Europe settled in Austria. Starting in the 1950s "victims of the Cold War" (Hungary, Czechs and Slovaks) began looking for political asylum in Austria. Since the 1960s Austria has been recruiting a growing number of "guest workers" from Turkey and Yugoslavia to make up the labor missing in the industrial and service economies. Recently, refugees from the arc of crisis from Afghanistan to Syria to Somalia have braved perilous journeys to build new lives in a more peaceful and prosperous Europe.
Migration Law in Serbia
Derived from the renowned multi-volume International Encyclopaedia of Laws, this monograph on the rules on immigration and right of residence of non-nationals in Serbia examines the legal and administrative conditions for persons not having the citizenship of a State to enter the country and to stay and reside there. It provides a survey of the subject that is both usefully brief and sufficiently detailed to answer most questions likely to arise in any pertinent legal setting. It follows the common structure of all monographs appearing in the International Encyclopaedia for Migration Law, thus allowing easy comparison between the country studies. As migration and economic activities are ofte...
From the Highlands to Hollywood
This volume is dedicated to the academic achievements of Karl Kaser and to the 50th anniversary of Southeast European History and Anthropology (SEEHA) at the University of Graz. Its editors are collaborators of SEEHA and experts in various fields of Southeast European Studies: Siegfried Gruber, Dominik Gutmeyr, Sabine Jesner, Elife Krasniqi, Robert Pichler, and Christian Promitzer. The Festschrift covers diverse approaches toward the study of societies and cultures in Southeastern Europe, both with respect to history and current affairs, and brings together contributions from several of Kaser's former doctoral students, colleagues, collaborators and friends from across Europe.
Bosnian Studies
It has been 27 years since the end of the war in Bosnia and Herzegovina, and the history of the conflict, its consequences, and long-term implications for the politics and lives of its citizens has remained a source of interest for scholars across the globe and across disciplines. This scholarship has included works by historians and political scientists seeking to explain the war’s origins with a view to Bosnia’s traditional multi-ethnic character and background. The country has been used as a case study in state- and peace-building, as well as to study the implications of ongoing transitional justice processes. Other scholars within the fields of human rights and genocide studies have ...
Queer Turkey
Before President Erdogan's repressive politics took hold, queer cultures were more visible than ever in Turkey. Queer Turkey offers a broad range of reflections on queer Turkish cultures within a transnational, Euro-American context. Based on his experience in Istanbul, Ralph J. Poole shares his impressions of queer desires between Muslim tradition and global pop, observes what goes on in the hamam, and wonders about Arabesk culture. The book features discussions of queer travel writers, poets, playwrights, and film directors. Their multifarious works manifest the subtle and subversive ways in which artists crisscross the cultural borders of East and West. With its many facets of Turkish-Euro-American cultural interactions, Queer Turkey outlines a kaleidoscope of transnational poetics.
Remigration to Post-Socialist Europe
Returning migrants have been involved in post-socialist transformation processes all across Eastern and Southeastern Europe. Engaged in politics, the economy, science and education, arts and civil society, return migrants have often exerted crucial influence on state and nation-building processes and on social and cultural transformations. However, remigration not only comprises stories of achievements, but equally those of failed integration, marginalization, non-participation and lost potential - these are mostly stories untold. The contributions to this volume shed light on processes of return migration to various Eastern and Southeastern European countries from multidisciplinary perspectives. Particular attention is paid to anthropological approaches that aim to understand the complexities of return migration from individual perspectives.
Kuratierte Erinnerungen: das Fotoalbum
Das Fotoalbum als Aufbewahrungsort einzelner Abzüge zählt seit den Anfängen zur Geschichte der Fotografie. Anfangs mit vorgestanzten Ausschnitten und gedruckter Ornamentik hochwertig gestaltet, entwickelte es sich mit dem Siegeszug der Privatfotografie im ersten Drittel des 20. Jahrhunderts als Massenartikel zum festen Bestandteil eines jeden Haushalts. Fotoalben bieten kuratierte Einblicke in den privaten Alltag. Sie geben Aufschluss darüber, was als festhaltenswert und erinnerungswürdig galt. Ausschnitthaft lassen sie die Betrachterin und den Betrachter an Unternehmungen teilhaben - an Reisen, Familienfeiern, Ausflügen, Kindheiten, aber auch an die Schrecken des Krieges. Oftmals erg...
Südslawisches Wien
Der Sammelband "Südslawisches Wien" diskutiert die Sichtbarkeit und Anwesenheit südslawischer Bevölkerungsgruppen, ihrer Sprachen, Kulturen und künstlerischen Ausdrucksformen in der österreichischen Bundeshauptstadt. Laut Integrationsmonitor der Stadt lebten 2020 rund 180.000 Menschen südslawischer Herkunft in Wien. Sie kommen vor allem aus Bosnien und Herzegowina, Kroatien und Serbien, aber auch aus Slowenien, Bulgarien und Nordmazedonien. Jede*r zehnte Wiener*in ist damit Südslaw*in. Hinzu kommt die autochthone kroatische und slowenische Bevölkerung Österreichs, die in Wien ihre eigenen kulturellen Strukturen aufgebaut hat. Die Bundeshauptstadt stellt für alle diese Gruppen einen zentralen kulturellen Bezugspunkt dar. Im Fokus des Sammelbandes stehen zusammenschauend die Wiener südslawische Gegenwart und alle Schauplätze, an denen südslawische Sprachen, Kulturen und Menschen in Wien heute sichtbar werden.
Tagebücher als Quellen
Tagebücher werden seit 1800 wissenschaftlich ausgewertet. Wiederholt ist das in den Anfangsphasen neuer Fächer zu beobachten. Die Absichten der Forscher/innen waren dabei jeweils unterschiedlich: Die Kleinkinderforschung des 19. Jahrhunderts und die Jugendpsychologie ab 1920 haben maßgebende Thesen über ›Normalverläufe‹ der menschlichen Entwicklung auf Selbstzeugnissen aufgebaut. Die Alltags-, die Sozial- und die Frauengeschichte suchten darin ab den 1980er-Jahren Spuren individueller Lebensgeschichten. Seither sind umfangreiche Sammlungen entstanden, die heute eine ausdifferenzierte Auto/Biografieforschung ermöglichen. Li Gerhalter nimmt als Akteur/innen dieser vielseitigen Geschi...
