  • The Visual Archive of Colonialism: Germany and Namibia
    Photo-essay The Visual Archive of Colonialism: Germany and Namibia George Steinmetz and Julia Hell Colonial memories and images occupy a paradoxi- cal place in Germany. This is due in part to the peculiarities of German colo- nial history, but it also reflects another aspect of German exceptionalism — the legacy of Nazism and the Holocaust. In recent years German colonialism in Southwest Africa (Namibia) has been widely discussed, especially with respect to the attempted extermination of the Ovaherero people in 1904. For reasons explored in this article, these discussions of Germany’s involvement in Southwest Africa have created new and unexpected discursive connections that are reshap- ing colonial memories in both Germany and Namibia. One possible outcome could be a belated decolonization of the landscape of colonial memory in both countries. Postwar Germany was long preoccupied with its National Socialist prehistory; the German colonial past has only started to come into focus more recently.1 The years 2004 – 5 saw numerous commemorative events around the centenary of the 1904 German genocide of the Namibian Ovaherero people and the completion of the controversial Berlin Holocaust Memorial. On one level this is mere coinci- dence. At the same time, there is an increasing entanglement of these two central political topics. But little research has been done on the visual archive of German colonialism, in contrast to the extensive studies made of the public circulation of Thanks to Johannes von Moltke for helping us with the research into the November 2004 von Trotha – Maherero meeting. 1. For a discussion of the ways in which the formerly divided country’s Nazi past was thematized anew after 1989, see Julia Hell and Johannes von Moltke, “Unification Effects: Imaginary Land- scapes of the Berlin Republic,” in “The Cultural Logics of the Berlin Republic,” ed.

Redressing Colonial Genocide Under International Law: The Hereros' Cause of Action Against Germany Rachel Andersont INTRODUCTION It is widely supposed that the genocidal wars waged by colonial ad- ministrations against indigenous peoples or nations before 1948 did not violate rules of international law. Contemporary scholars and commenta- tors assert that all forms of genocide were first criminalized and made pun- ishable by the 1948 United Nations Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of Genocide (U.N. Genocide Convention).' As a result, schol- ars argue that wars of annihilation2 perpetrated by colonial administrations were not illegal acts under contemporaneous international law.3 The Copyright © 2005 California Law Review, Inc.

  • Deutsch-Südwestafrika«*
    Aufsatz Matthias Häußler Soldatische Hinterwäldler oder Avantgarde? Über die einsatzbezogenen Erfahrungen der Kaiserlichen Schutztruppe in »Deutsch-Südwestafrika«* Die »alten Afrikaner« könnten nur »Vieh klauen oder einzelne Leute totschießen«, aber auf eine »ernsthafte Kriegführung« verstünden sie sich nicht, notierte Gene- ralleutnant Lothar von Trotha zornig in seinem Tagebuch über die eingesessenen, bewährten Offiziere der Kaiserlichen Schutztruppe in Südwestafrika. Er war im Frühjahr 1904 von Kaiser Wilhelm II. als neuer Kommandeur der südwestafrika- nischen Schutztruppe in die Kolonie entsandt worden, um die seit Januar aufstän- dischen Herero niederzuwerfen, nachdem die Operationen unter der Führung des »alten Afrikaners« Gouverneur Oberst Theodor Leutwein nicht zu den erwünschten Ergebnissen geführt hatten. Obwohl ein ›Haudegen‹ und sicher kein Repräsentant des neuen Soldatentyps, des »wissenschaftlich gebildeten professionellen Militärfachmanns«, brachte Trotha Manches mit, das immer noch den Aufstieg in der Kaiserlichen Armee ver- bürgte: Er entstammte dem Altadel, war Offiziersohn, hatte seine militärische Lauf- bahn in einem der prestigereichen Potsdamer Garderegimenter begonnen und galt als »strammer preußischer Offizier«. Doch setzte der Einsatz in Deutsch-Süd- westafrika seiner Karriere ein jähes Ende, die Schutztruppenuniform entpuppte sich – bildhaft gesprochen – als sein »Leichenhemd«.

Introduction The study of history is often mistaken for a static subject bent on the examination of fixed events from which can be derived only a singular conclusion. However, such a perspective presents a woeful ignorance of the subject itself and the events under study. While the matters of the past are most certainly fixed in space, the insight and opportunity for engagement presented by these same events are nearly limitless in regard to the present and future.

  • University Microfilms
    INFORMATION TO USERS This dissertation w s s produced from a microfilm copy of the original document. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand marki!^ or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document phorographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was posable to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting tiiru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image. You will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., was part of the material being photographed the photographer followed a definite method in "sectioning" the material. It is customary to begin phoroing at the upper left hand comer of a large sheet and to continue photoing from left to right in equal sections with a small overlap. If necessary, sectioning is continued again — beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. The majority of users indicate that the textual content is of greatest value, however, a somewhat higher quality reproduction could be made from "photographs" if essential to the understanding of the dissertation.
