Mindestens ebenso spannend wie die Fernsehreportagen waren davor und danach die Gespräche mit den Fellows aus der Region: dem Libanon, äthiopien, Iran und Pakistan. Den Schriftsteller elias Khoury konnte man spätestens jetzt – jenseits bzw. diesseits seiner literarischen Arbeiten – als scharfsichtigen Beobachter einer Bewegung kennen lernen, die ihn wie uns alle überrascht hatte, und die doch ge - rade in ihm eine ihrer wichtigsten intellektuellen Leitfiguren sah. „Die Diskussionen über die Möglichkeiten, über die Gefahren, über die Zukunft der nahöstlichen Welt füll - te viele Stunden“ (Anne van Aaken, 15; vgl. auch 22, 42, 54, 128, 143). unübersehbar war die tendenz, sich voneinander anstecken zu lassen; und das galt nicht nur für das Interesse am arabischen Frühling. „By the end of the year, it felt to me as though nearly every person felt that the intellectual passions of the others enriched her own, his own“, schreibt Steven Feierman (72) und fährt fort: „Most of us allowed our - selves to be bathed in laughter, and laughter dissolved the egos.“ Dieses Lachen, das auch mir als Stimmungsindikator in erinnerung bleibt, zieht sich wie ein Leitmotiv durch viele der Berichte: „What stands out most in my memory of this year is the unrelenting vorwort des herausgebers 11 hilarity. It was cathartic.“ (Julie Livingston, 158). „Wir lachen viel und es ist Leichtigkeit in der kleinen Selbstironie, mit der man sich unter erwachsenen über das gleichwohl hohe Maß an ernst verständigen kann, das all dies hier für uns hat.“ (Petra Gehring, 78). Schließlich kann das Kichern auch zum Gegenstand anthropologischer Selbstre flexion werden: „the giggling played no mean role. Sometimes nervous, sometimes infectious, laughter was one of the repetitions. […] Since laughter is also a subject in my histories, let me suggest the following: a sense of being at risk of ridicule may linger in a situation where laughter is so intense, fond, and everyday, deployed to include and em brace, while still unsettling and keeping alert.“ (Nancy Rose Hunt, 117; vgl. auch 15, 19, 188). Dem - nach scheint die kollektive Heiterkeit eher als Anreiz und Kitzel denn als Beruhigungs - mittel gewirkt zu haben. Nun resultiert das Lachen nach Freud bekanntlich daraus, dass das Subjekt sich (im - mer nur vorübergehend) vom Druck kultureller Anpassungszwänge befreien kann. Aber woher kam in unserem Fall der Druck? Albrecht Koschorke beschreibt ihn sehr präzis als double bind: „Gleich in den ersten tagen werden dem frisch eingetroffenen Fellow zwei entgegengesetzte Impulse gegeben […]. Der erste, offizielle Auftrag lautet: Schreib dein Buch. Der zweite, etwas informellere Rat heißt: Nutze die Gelegenheit zum Aus - tausch mit Forschern aus aller Welt, lass dich auf neue Ideen bringen […]. Am besten, du kommst als ein veränderter Geist mit einem gänzlich neuen Projekt aus dem Jahr am Wiko heraus! – In der Kurz fassung heißen die beiden Imperative: Zieh dich zurück, verschließe dich! und gleich zeitig: öffne dich!“ (131). Lag hier der Grund für die anste- ckende Heiterkeit des ganzen Jahrgangs? Koschorke liefert dazu auch gleich eine kul - turtheoretische Leithypothese: Innere Widersprüchlichkeit sei für den Zusammenhalt und die vitalität eines Systems unerlässlich; an allzu großer Schlüssigkeit und Wider- spruchsfreiheit könne es leicht zugrunde gehen; das gelte für menschliche Gesellschaften ebenso wie für theorien (130f.). Die fellow Fellows hätten diese Diagnose vielleicht, ein- mal mehr, mit Gelächter quittiert. uns indessen gibt sie Anlass, optimistisch in die Zu- kunft zu blicken.

  • 'The East' As a Transit Space in the New Europe?
    Adapted from: https://doi.org/10.1111/glal.12079 (Accessed 1st November 2018) ‘The East’ as a transit space in the new Europe? Transnational train journeys in prose poems by Kurt Drawert, Lutz Seiler and Ilma Rakusa1 Sabine Egger (Mary Immaculate College, University of Limerick) Abstract The past three decades, following the collapse of the Iron Curtain, have seen the development of a ‘European literature’ characterised by the emergence of transnational subjects and spaces. This also applies to a Europe traditionally defining itself by means of a frontier to the ‘East’. In German writing, this has been a more recent phenomenon than in other Central or Eastern European literatures, and is not restricted to ‘Migrantenliteratur’. In texts subverting East- West dichotomies by contemporary German-speaking writers with an ‘Eastern Bloc biography’, the train journey into the East emerges as a recurrent motif. The traveller encounters this East in Siberia, but also in various places or spaces in Central and Eastern Europe. Examples discussed here include poems and short narrative texts by Kurt Drawert, Lutz Seiler and Ilma Rakusa, which could be defined as prose poetry.My analysis, based on spatial concepts by Michel de Certeau and Michel Foucault, will focus on movement in these texts, which tends to affect temporal and genre boundaries as much as those between self and Other. The train itself or the landscape travelled through becomes a transit space in which national borders and frontiers to the East are, at least temporarily, transcended. 1 The article is part of a book project in process, supported by Seed Funding of Mary Immaculate College, University of Limerick, and a DAAD research grant awarded in 2013.

  • Olena Semenyaka, the “First Lady” of Ukrainian Nationalism
    Olena Semenyaka, The “First Lady” of Ukrainian Nationalism Adrien Nonjon Illiberalism Studies Program Working Papers, September 2020 For years, Ukrainian nationalist movements such as Svoboda or Pravyi Sektor were promoting an introverted, state-centered nationalism inherited from the early 1930s’ Ukrainian Nationalist Organization (Orhanizatsiia Ukrayins'kykh Natsionalistiv) and largely dominated by Western Ukrainian and Galician nationalist worldviews. The EuroMaidan revolution, Crimea’s annexation by Russia, and the war in Donbas changed the paradigm of Ukrainian nationalism, giving birth to the Azov movement. The Azov National Corps (Natsional’nyj korpus), led by Andriy Biletsky, was created on October 16, 2014, on the basis of the Azov regiment, now integrated into the Ukrainian National Guard. The Azov National Corps is now a nationalist party claiming around 10,000 members and deployed in Ukrainian society through various initiatives, such as patriotic training camps for children (Azovets) and militia groups (Natsional’ny druzhiny). Azov can be described as a neo- nationalism, in tune with current European far-right transformations: it refuses to be locked into old- fashioned myths obsessed with a colonial relationship to Russia, and it sees itself as outward-looking in that its intellectual framework goes beyond Ukraine’s territory, deliberately engaging pan- European strategies. Olena Semenyaka (b. 1987) is the female figurehead of the Azov movement: she has been the international secretary of the National Corps since 2018 (and de facto leader since the party’s very foundation in 2016) while leading the publishing house and metapolitical club Plomin (Flame). Gaining in visibility as the Azov regiment transformed into a multifaceted movement, Semenyaka has become a major nationalist theorist in Ukraine.

  • Negative Shocks and Mass Persecutions: Evidence from the Black Death
    Negative Shocks and Mass Persecutions: Evidence from the Black Death Remi Jedwab and Noel D. Johnson and Mark Koyama⇤ April 16, 2018 Abstract We study the Black Death pogroms to shed light on the factors determining when a minority group will face persecution. In theory, negative shocks increase the likelihood that minorities are persecuted. But, as shocks become more severe, the persecution probability decreases if there are economic complementarities between majority and minority groups. The effects of shocks on persecutions are thus ambiguous. We compile city-level data on Black Death mortality and Jewish persecutions. At an aggregate level, scapegoating increases the probability of a persecution. However, cities which experienced higher plague mortality rates were less likely to persecute. Furthermore, for a given mortality shock, persecutions were less likely in cities where Jews played an important economic role and more likely in cities where people were more inclined to believe conspiracy theories that blamed the Jews for the plague. Our results have contemporary relevance given interest in the impact of economic, environmental and epidemiological shocks on conflict.

  • This Book Is a Compendium of New Wave Posters. It Is Organized Around the Designers (At Last!)
    “This book is a compendium of new wave posters. It is organized around the designers (at last!). It emphasizes the key contribution of Eastern Europe as well as Western Europe, and beyond. And it is a very timely volume, assembled with R|A|P’s usual flair, style and understanding.” –CHRISTOPHER FRAYLING, FROM THE INTRODUCTION 2 artbook.com French New Wave A Revolution in Design Edited by Tony Nourmand. Introduction by Christopher Frayling. The French New Wave of the 1950s and 1960s is one of the most important movements in the history of film. Its fresh energy and vision changed the cinematic landscape, and its style has had a seminal impact on pop culture. The poster artists tasked with selling these Nouvelle Vague films to the masses—in France and internationally—helped to create this style, and in so doing found themselves at the forefront of a revolution in art, graphic design and photography. French New Wave: A Revolution in Design celebrates explosive and groundbreaking poster art that accompanied French New Wave films like The 400 Blows (1959), Jules and Jim (1962) and The Umbrellas of Cherbourg (1964). Featuring posters from over 20 countries, the imagery is accompanied by biographies on more than 100 artists, photographers and designers involved—the first time many of those responsible for promoting and portraying this movement have been properly recognized. This publication spotlights the poster designers who worked alongside directors, cinematographers and actors to define the look of the French New Wave. Artists presented in this volume include Jean-Michel Folon, Boris Grinsson, Waldemar Świerzy, Christian Broutin, Tomasz Rumiński, Hans Hillman, Georges Allard, René Ferracci, Bruno Rehak, Zdeněk Ziegler, Miroslav Vystrcil, Peter Strausfeld, Maciej Hibner, Andrzej Krajewski, Maciej Zbikowski, Josef Vylet’al, Sandro Simeoni, Averardo Ciriello, Marcello Colizzi and many more.

The exhibition’s origins In 2007, the exhibition “Europe is our history! 50 years of European construction”, designed and produced by Tempora SA at the request of the Museum of Europe, was presented in Brussels on the occasion of the anniversary of the Treaties of Rome. The exhibition was quite naturally addressed at all Europeans, but in particular, with it being presented in Brussels, was aimed at an audience drawn from the founding Member States of the European Union. In 2009, at the request of the Municipality of Wroclaw, the exhibition was presented in Poland in a version adapted for a Polish audience. The Cardinal Kominek (1903-1974) was part of this adaptation which enabled us to discover his initiatives for reconciliation in Europe. This gave rise to the itinerant exhibition which, after Italy (The Vatican), Germany (Berlin) and Poland (Wroclaw), is today presented in Brussels: it allows us to discover the initiatives, of which most Belgians are largely unaware, of this Polish prelate in favor of reconciliation that was long thought impossible, between Germans and Poles. And therefore, more extensively between Europeans. 2.
