Contemporary History in Relation to Memory, Museums and Memorial Sites Internationally - Past, Present and Future Contemporary History in Relation to Memory, Museums and Memorial Sites Internationally - Past, Present and Future La historia contemporánea en relación con la memoria, los museos y los espacios de memoria Internacionales - pasado, presente y futuro Hildegard K. VIEREGG Museum Studies. Hochschule für Philosophie Munich/Germany. Kaulbachtr. 31a 80539. München [email protected] Recibido: 30-08-2014 Aceptado: 3-10-2014 ABSTRACT The article examines conceptions of Memorials, Memorial Sites and Museums on an international level. It starts with the Terminology of Contemporary History as a term that has developed and broadened since the 1950s. Contemporary His- tory influences also the field of the Fine Arts. Memorials or Memorial Sites at authentic places are of great importance for consciousness-raising. In combination with Museums they have the possibility to collect diverse objects such as written sources, artefacts, photos, and records of oral history as testimonies of former events. Concerning Museums, this is particu- larly reflected in conceptions of Museums to War and Peace, Memorial Museums on Genocide, and Museums of Resistance Movements. A particular artefact of the terrorist attack on September 11, 2001, is the Karyatide of the famous German art- ist Fritz Koenig, now placed in Battery Park, in the south of Manhattan. Finally, the National September 11 Memorial and Museum are explained with their architecture, the idea of “Reflecting Absence” and the Memorial Mission for the future. KEY WORDS: Authentic Sites. Contemporary History. Memorial Museums. Memorial Sites. Museum Conceptions. Resis- tance Movement. Tolerance. RESUMEN El artículo examina los conceptos de Monumentos, Sitios y Museos conmemorativos a nivel internacional. Se comienza con la terminología de historia contemporánea como un término que se desarrolló y amplió desde 1950. La historia contemporánea influye también en el campo de las Bellas Artes. Los monumentos conmemorativos o sitios de la me- moria en lugares auténticos son de gran importancia para la concienciación. En combinación con los museos tienen la posibilidad de recoger diversos objetos como fuentes escritas, artefactos, fotografías y registros de la historia oral como testimonios de los antiguos acontecimientos. En cuanto a los museos, esto se refleja particularmente en las con- cepciones de los museos para la Guerra y la Paz, los museos de la Memoria sobre el Genocidio, y los museos de Mov- imientos de Resistencia. Un artefacto particular del ataque terrorista del 11 de septiembre de 2001 es la Karyatide del famoso artista alemán Fritz Koenig, ahora colocado en el Battery Park al sur de Manhattan. Por último, el Memorial y Museo Nacional 11 de Septiembre se explica junto con su arquitectura, la idea de “Ausencia Reflexionada” y la Misión de la Memoria para el futuro.

It was written in conjunction with four other papers studying World Trade Centers (WTCs) sites in Taipei, Amsterdam, Curacao and Portland (Oregon). These sites represent a cross-section of the various trade and economic environments that World Trade Centers operate in around the globe. Each of these studies examines the extent to which the owner/developer, the tenants and other regional public and private concerns have benefitted through their involvement with these highly specialized real estate developments. The New York World Trade Center is unique from all other World Trade Centers in several respects.

  • Lower Manhattan Public Art Offers Visitors Grand, Open-Air Museum Experience
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Maria Alvarado, (212) 835.2763, [email protected] LOWER MANHATTAN PUBLIC ART OFFERS VISITORS GRAND, OPEN-AIR MUSEUM EXPERIENCE Works by Dubuffet, Koons and Naguchi are among the 14 unique installations featured South of Chambers Street (February 23, 2015) – With more than a dozen masterpieces from world-renowned artists, Lower Manhattan is home to a remarkable and inspiring public art program. The works of art are now featured in a new walking tour itinerary curated by the Downtown Alliance, “Lower Manhattan by Public Art.” The full tour can be found on the Alliance’s website at http://downtownny.com/walkingtours. The walking tour begins at the district’s northernmost edge at 1 Police Plaza, across from City Hall. Here, visitors will find 5-in-1 by Tony Rosenthal. The artist’s work of five interlocking steel discs, rising to a height of 35 feet, represents the five boroughs coming together as one city. Additional pieces of art featured are: Shadows and Flags by Louise Nevelson (William Street between Maiden Lane and Liberty Street) Seven pieces bundled together as a singular abstract unit alludes to the wafting flags, ceremonious spirals, and blooming trees that define the New York City landscape. Group of Four Trees by Jean Dubuffet (28 Liberty Street) The “four trees” are created by a series of intertwined irregular planes, which lean in different directions and are connected by thick black outlines. The piece is part of Dubuffet’s “L’Hourloupe” cycle — a bold, graphic style inspired by a doodle. Sunken Garden by Isamu Noguchi (28 Liberty Street) In the winter, the garden, set one story below ground level, is a dry circular expanse; in the summer, it is transformed into a giant water fountain.

  • Viktoriia Bahrii-Day 4. CSW63 Final Document Briefing and New York
    Day 4. CSW63 final document briefing and New York sightseeing On the forth day of our delegation's visit to New York (dedicated to attendance of the 63rd Session of the Commission of Status on Women (CSW63) of the United Nations), UIMF members participated in a daily briefing hosted by NGO CSW/NY. It was focused on the progress of the final document negotiations for CSW63, which focuses on implementation of Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) #5 on gender equality. Dr. Abdrisaev and delegation members listening to briefing remarks After short briefing, Mrs. Hellen Swales, National President for New Zealand Federation for Business & Professional Women, answered the questions from audience, whose members were representatives of various NGO's and civil society in general. One of the audience members addressed the issue of NGOs' getting lower recognition within the United Nations lately and gradual decrease of their powers, wondering whether the situation can be interpreted as the"backlash against civil society". Ms. Swales answered that the trend seems to be the case, however it doesn't mean that NGOs need to tone down on their efforts to contribute towards change. Next, UIMF mentor, Dr. Baktybek Abdrisaev talked about the importance of engaging non- traditional students in promotion of mountain women's issue, while Vice-President of UIMF Mr. Michael Hinatsu addressed the question of including mountain women in CSW63 final document. Mr. Michael Hinatsu addressing issue of including language on mountain women Mrs. Swales responded to Michael with two points: first, she reflected on the need of including not a singular group, but working on centralized language process, where "happy medium" would be reached and all struggling women groups would be included, regardless of their geography.

I proceeded from the assumption that powerful propaganda has to contain certain phrases which do not necessarily mean anything, which sound good, but which still stand for a programme. I may have chosen the name intuitively since at that time I was directly under the influence of the Span- ish romances 'Rosa Blanca' by Brentano. There is no connection with the 'White Rose' in English history." Hans Scholl, interrogation protocol of the Gestapo, 20.2.1943 The Origin of the White Rose The White Rose originated from individual friend- ships growing into circles of friends.

In the immediate aftermath, all we could think about was the incredible loss of life, but as we now know, there was also extensive loss of art—an estimated $100 mil- lion loss in public art and an untold amount in private and corporate collections.

  • Teaching About the Holocaust and the History of Genocide in the 21St Century”
    DGIV/EDU/INSET/Donau (2000) 4 “Teaching about the Holocaust and the history of genocide in the 21st century” 90th European Teachers Seminar Donaueschingen, Germany, 6-10 November 2000 Report Council for Cultural Co-operation In-Service Training Programme for Educational Staff Strasbourg, January 2001 The Council of Europe was founded in 1949 to achieve greater unity between European parliamentary democracies. It is the oldest of the European political institutions and has forty-three member states,1 including the fifteen members of the European Union. It is the widest intergovernmental and inter-parliamentary grouping in Europe, and has its headquarters in the French city of Strasbourg. Only questions related to national defence are excluded from the Council of Europe's work, and the Organisation has activities in the following areas: democracy, human rights and fundamental freedoms; media and communication; social and economic affairs; education, culture, heritage and sport; youth; health; environment and regional planning; local democracy and legal co-operation. The European Cultural Convention was opened for signature in 1954. This international treaty is also open to European countries that are not members of the Council of Europe, enabling them to take part in the Organisation's Programmes on education, culture, sport and youth. So far, forty-seven states have acceded to the European Cultural Convention: the Council of Europe's forty-three member states plus Belarus, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Holy See and Monaco. The Council for Cultural Co-operation (the CDCC) is responsible for the Council of Europe's work on education and culture. Four specialised committees - the Education Committee, the Higher Education and Research Committee, the Culture Committee and the Cultural Heritage Committee - help the CDCC to carry out its tasks under the European Cultural Convention.
