  • 2020 Conservation Outlook Assessment
    IUCN World Heritage Outlook: https://worldheritageoutlook.iucn.org/ Cerrado Protected Areas: Chapada dos Veadeiros and Emas National Parks - 2020 Conservation Outlook Assessment Cerrado Protected Areas: Chapada dos Veadeiros and Emas National Parks 2020 Conservation Outlook Assessment SITE INFORMATION Country: Brazil Inscribed in: 2001 Criteria: (ix) (x) The two sites included in the designation contain flora and fauna and key habitats that characterize the Cerrado – one of the world’s oldest and most diverse tropical ecosystems. For millennia, these sites have served as refuge for several species during periods of climate change and will be vital for maintaining the biodiversity of the Cerrado region during future climate fluctuations. © UNESCO SUMMARY 2020 Conservation Outlook Finalised on 02 Dec 2020 GOOD WITH SOME CONCERNS Overall, the key habitats and species that characterize the Cerrado ecoregion and the key role in maintaining its biodiversity in the Cerrado Protected Areas Wolrd Heritage site have remained in an excellent conservation status since the site was inscribed on the World Heritage List in 2001, despite the suspension of expansion of the boundaries of Chapada dos Veadeiros NP in 2003 and the large fires occurring in 2017. However, there is considerable concern regarding threats posed to the site, since mitigation of most of them, particularly potential threats generated outside, is beyond the capacity of the site management. Current threats inside the site, including fires and to a lower extent tourism, are being addressed through proper management responses. The re-expansion of the CdVNP in 20017 represents a very positive step and addressing the longstanding requests by the World Heritage Committee to reinstate appropriate legal protection regime over the entire World Heritage site.

  • First Century German Literature and Film
    Abstract Title of Document: AMERICAN BLACKNESS AND VERGANGENHEITSBEWÄLTIGUNG IN TWENTY- FIRST CENTURY GERMAN LITERATURE AND FILM Christina Wall, Doctor of Philosophy, 2014 Directed by: Professor Elke P. Frederiksen, Department of Germanic Studies This study represents a unique examination of the convergence of constructs of Blackness and racism in twenty-first century novels and films by white Germans and Austrians in order to demonstrate how these texts broaden discourses of Vergangenheitsbewältigung. The increased prominence of minority voices demanding recognition of their national identity within Nazi successor states has transformed white German perceptions of “Germanness” and of these nations’ relationships to their turbulent pasts. I analyze how authors and directors employ constructs of Blackness within fictional texts to interrogate the dynamics of historical and contemporary racisms. Acknowledging that discourses of ‘race’ are taboo, I analyze how authors and directors avoid this forbidden discourse by drawing comparisons between constructs of American Blackness and German and Austrian historical encounters with ‘race’. This study employs cultural studies’ understanding of ‘race’ and Blackness as constructs created across discourses. Following the example of Toni Morrison’s Playing in the Dark (1992), my textual analyses show how these constructs create a “playground for the imagination” in which authors confront modern German racism. My study begins with a brief history of German-African American encounters, emphasizing the role American Blackness played during pivotal moments of German national identity formation. The subsequent chapters are divided thematically, each one comprised of textual analyses that explore discourses integral to Vergangenheitsbewältigung. The third chapter examines articulations of violence and racism in two films, Oskar Roehler’s Lulu & Jimi (2008) and Michael Schorr’s Schultze gets the blues (2008), to explore possibilities of familial reconciliation despite historical guilt.

  • Heimattransgressions, Transgressing Heimat
    Vanessa D. Plumly Heimat Transgressions, Transgressing Heimat Black German Diasporic (Per)Formative Acts in the Decolonization of White German Heimat Landscapes Black/Afro-Germans1 embody the fear of sexual transgressions and miscegeny that racist discourse in the former German colonies instilled in white Germans and that Wilhelminian Germany legally sanctioned through the ius sangui- nus definition of German citizenship.2 The Third Reich further exploited this through its enactment of the Nuremberg laws, which once again considered Black Germans non-members of the imagined national German community. Today, Black Germans remain excluded from the reunited Berlin Republic, even though a new citizenship law passed in the Federal Republic in 1999 signaled a transition away from Germany’s blood-based definition toward a more civic one, and despite the fact that some Black Germans can trace their German ancestry over three or more generations.3 White Germans’ constant questioning of Black Germans’ origins because of their racial constitution and visible diasporic roots performatively enacts this resolute denial of their na- tional identity and belonging.4 1 The word Afro-German is used most often to denote Black Germans with one white German parent and one black or African/African diasporic parent, and Black German is most often used to denote anyone who chooses to identify with the term and has had similar experi- ences of racial exclusions.

  • Post-Imperialism, Postcolonialism and Beyond: Towards a Periodisation of Cultural Discourse About Colonial Legacies
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Repository@Nottingham 1 Post-imperialism, Postcolonialism and Beyond: Towards a Periodisation of Cultural Discourse about Colonial Legacies Dirk Göttsche (Nottingham) Abstract Taking German history and culture as a starting point, this essay suggests a historical approach to reconceptualising different forms of literary engagement with colonial discourse, colonial legacies and (post-) colonial memory in the context of Comparative Postcolonial Studies. The deliberate blending of a historical, a conceptual and a political understanding of the ‘postcolonial’ in postcolonial scholarship raises problems of periodisation and historical terminology when, for example, anti-colonial discourse from the colonial period or colonialist discourse in Weimar Germany are labelled ‘postcolonial’. The colonial revisionism of Germany’s interwar period is more usefully classed as post-imperial, as are particular strands of retrospective engagement with colonial history and legacy in British, French and other European literatures and cultures after 1945. At the same time, some recent developments in Francophone, Anglophone and German literature, e.g. Afropolitan writing, move beyond defining features of postcolonial discourse and raise the question of the post- postcolonial. Keywords Colonialism, Imperialism, Postcolonialism, Comparative postcolonial studies, Memory, Afropolitanism. Fifteen years after Stuart Hall’s seminal essay ‘When was “the post-colonial”?’ (Hall, 1996) it is time to ask his question again, albeit from a historical and literary-historical perspective. The rise of postcolonial theory and research has been characterised by the deliberate blending of a historical, a political and a conceptual understanding of the postcolonial, understood as a socio-cultural condition as well as a critical and cultural discourse.

    FROM GHETTO TO GOETHE: GERMAN RAPPERS OF COLOR CLAIMING THEIR SPACE IN THE NATION By Krsna Santos A THESIS Submitted to Michigan State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of German Studies — Master of Arts 2016 ABSTRACT FROM GHETTO TO GOETHE: GERMAN RAPPERS OF COLOR CLAIMING THEIR SPACE IN THE NATION By Krsna Santos This thesis examines how contemporary German rappers of color offer decolonial critiques of definitions of nation, the cultural canon and German identity. Finding the traditional definitions insufficient for their multiracial, multiethnic and multinational identities, they propose more inclusive definitions of nation, canon and Germanness. Despite being marginalized, these rappers claim aspects of a Germany that resists them, and carve out a place in the national narrative. This movement from marginalization to speaking for the nation is the unique turn the subaltern in German hip-hop makes. The study analyzes songs, music videos and interviews with Samy Deluxe, Eko Fresh and Blumio to show how they use three distinct strategies — contesting constructions of canon and national identity through verse, practicing decolonial and sarcastic love and mapping hyperlocality — to accomplish the aims of critiquing and offering new definitions. With these strategies the rappers demonstrate that hip-hop not only is a poetic force that gives voice to Germans of color, but also has a place as an art form in canonical German culture. Hip-hop in Germany does the singular work of giving voice to Germans of color and elevates these voices to places of cultural authority. Copyright by KRSNA SANTOS 2016 This thesis is dedicated to my mother Maria Lena, my colleagues in the German department at MSU and my friends Max and Liz, for supporting me and nurturing me with their empathy and love.

  • German-Speaking Women, Africa, and the African Diaspora (01.10.2018)
    H-Germanistik CFP: Afrika and Alemania: German-Speaking Women, Africa, and the African Diaspora (01.10.2018) Discussion published by Lisabeth Hock on Thursday, July 26, 2018 Call for Abstracts Afrika and Alemania: German-Speaking Women, Africa, and the African Diaspora Respond to Coeditors: Lisabeth Hock ([email protected]) Michelle James ([email protected]) Priscilla Layne ([email protected]) 250-Word Abstracts Due: October 1, 2018 While connections between Germanic Europeans and African-descended peoples can be traced back to the Middle Ages, the first known text to engage with Africa by a German-speaking woman was produced at the end of the eighteenth century. In the centuries to follow, most women with the education and authority to produce accounts of Africa identified as—or had the privilege of not having to identify as—white. In twentieth and twenty-first centuries, however, an increasing number of German-speaking women have identified as Black or Brown and have written about Africa and the African diaspora from a Black German perspective. With the aim of exploring the ways in which white German-speaking women and German-speaking Women of Color have represented Africa, Lisabeth Hock, Michelle James and Pricilla Layne announce a call for papers for a volume on German-Speaking Women, Africa, and the African Diaspora. This will be a companion to the 2014 Camden House volume, Sophie Discovers Amerika: German-Speaking Women Write the New World, coedited by Michelle James and Rob McFarland The history of Afrika and Alemania begins in 1799, when Jewish writer and salon hostess Henrietta Herz (1764-1847) translated into German the Scottish explorer Mungo Park’s Journey to the Interior of Africa in the Years 1795 and 1797.

  • Audre Lorde: the Berlin Years 1984 to 1992: the Making of the Film and Its Reception
    7 C el ebr at i ng Au dr e L or de’s L e gac y 8 dagmar SchultZ Audre Lorde: The Berlin Years 1984 to 1992: The Making of the Film and Its Reception i firsT meT audre lorde in 1980 at the United Nations World Wom- en’s Conference in Copenhagen. At the time I was an assistant profes- sor of North American studies at the Free University of Berlin and in a position to propose Audre for a visiting professorship for a semester. She came to Berlin in 1984 and kept returning until 1992. During these visits, I accompanied Audre to her speaking and teaching engagements, recording her both on audio and videotape, as well as through photog- raphy: Audre considered me her “house photographer.” Sometimes she would even pose for pictures or looked directly into the video camera. It was clear to us both that I would eventually do something with these photos, audiotapes, and video footage. My subsequent film Audre Lorde: The Berlin Years 1984 to 1992 draws on these various recordings, show- ing Audre both on- and offstage and in the many different contexts that made up her life in Berlin. I see the film as a project of “archival activ- ism”—that is, as both a personal, individual, and sociopolitical document and a text that has the potential to generate activism. My goal in making the film was to capture the ability of Audre to empathize with, motivate, and empower women and men. At the same time I hoped to capture and convey the significance that her life in Berlin—and the encounters that she had with Black and white women there —held for her.
