The mansion was sold in 1992, and in memory of the donors and in conformity with the spirit of the couple’s gift, UNESCO decided to invest the sum resulting from the sale and to allocate the totality of the interest received to the creation of the UNESCO-Aschberg Bursaries for Artists, a flagship programme of the International Fund for the Promotion of Culture (IFPC). The UNESCO-Aschberg Bursaries for Artists programme was thus established in 1994 to open new career prospects for young artists and provide them with the possibility for further training in specialized institutions. Since the programme’s creation, the number of applications received and fellowships granted has increased regularly. Hundreds of young artists have already benefited from the programme. For 2006/2007, the programme proposes 67 fellowships offered by 47 partner institutions in 26 countries. The fellowships are co-financed by the IFPC and an international network of partner institutions specialized in the training of artists. The IFPC was created in November 1974 during the 18th session of UNESCO’s General Conference, and has developed into a financial fund that supports cultural development projects all over the world. Its aim is to help creators and cultural entrepreneurs to find additional funds for their projects so that cultural diversity can profit from globalisation Presentation instead of being its victim.

  • The Cultural Circulation of Political Economy, Botany, and Natural Knowledge
    social sciences $€ £ ¥ Article Malthus and the Philanthropists, 1764–1859: The Cultural Circulation of Political Economy, Botany, and Natural Knowledge J. Marc MacDonald Department of History, University of Prince Edward Island, 550 University Avenue, Charlottetown, PE C1A 4P3, Canada; [email protected]; Tel.: +1-902-569-4865 Academic Editor: Bryan L. Sykes Received: 16 July 2016; Accepted: 3 January 2017; Published: 10 January 2017 Abstract: Modernity does not possess a monopoly on mass incarceration, population fears, forced migration, famine, or climatic change. Indeed, contemporary and early modern concerns over these matters have extended interests in Thomas Malthus. Yet, despite extensive research on population issues, little work explicates the genesis of population knowledge production or how the process of intellectual transfer occurred during the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. This paper examines the Delessert network’s instrumental role in cultivating, curating, and circulating knowledge that popularized Malthusian population theory, including the theory’s constitutive elements of political economy, philanthropy, industry, agriculture, and botany. I show how deviant, nonconformist groups suffered forced migration for their political philosophy, particularly during the revolutionary 1790s, resulting in their imprisonment and migration to America. A consequence of these social shifts was the diffusion and dissemination of population theory—as a pursuit of scientific knowledge and exploration—across both sides of the Atlantic. By focusing on the Delesserts and their social network, I find that a byproduct of inter and intra continental migration among European elites was a knowledge exchange that stimulated Malthus’s thesis on population and Genevan Augustin Pyramus Candolle’s research on botany, ultimately culminating in Charles Darwin’s theory of natural selection and human evolution.

    Chronologische Daten zu Caspar Voght, zu seinem Mustergut und zum Jenisch-Park und seiner Umgebung bis heute (Zusammengestellt von Dr. habil. Reinhard Crusius, in Zusammenarbeit mit Paul Ziegler und Prof. Dr. Peter Klein) (Aktualisierte, präzisierte und erweiterte Fassung vom Januar 2015) 1. Caspar Voqht und sein Mustergut 1752 Geboren in Hamburg (am 17. November) Sein Großvater Johannes Voght (1665 bis 1730) wirkte als Pastor in Beverstedt und als Probst. Sein Vater Caspar Voght (1707-1781) arbeitete Kaufmann von Hamburg aus vor allem im Portugalhandel; von 1732 bis 1748 arbeitete er in Lissabon. Danach betrieb er einen Leinen- und Seidenhandel in Hamburg. Hier wurde er zum Senator ernannt. (Nach ihm ist die Caspar-Voght-Straße in Hamm-Nord benannt.) Caspar Voght (der Sohn) wurde in einer ungemein fruchtbaren Zeit in Hamburg geboren: „Aufklärung" war das Thema! Große Geister, wie Lessing, Freiherr von Knigge, Klopstock, Reimarus d. Ä., Reimarus d. J., von Hagedorn, Busch, Telemann, Claudius u. a. wirkten; das Pressewesen blühte auf; der sog. „Gottorfer Vergleich" mit Dänemark (1768) beendete die Zwistigkeiten mit Dänemark, vergrößerte das Hamburger Stadtgebiet vor allem um ökonomisch wichtige Gebiete (Hafenausbau), Hamburg wurde von Dänemark als kaiserliche „freie Reichsstadt" anerkannt, der „Nachbarschaftsverkehr" zwischen Ham- burg und den dänischen Elbgebieten, u. a. Altona, wurde befriedet und liberalisiert. Andererseits darf man nicht vergessen, dass bei Voghts Geburt der entsetzliche 30-jährige Krieg erst ein gutes Jahrhundert vorbei war. Es gab noch unglaublich viel Elend. 1770 Der englische Philantrop John Howard untersucht Hamburger Elends- quartiere, Armenhäuser, Armenspitäler und Gefängnisse in Begleitung des 18jährigen Caspar Voght - für C. V. ein nachhaltiges, prägendes Erlebnis.

  • Caspar Voght – Seine Bedeutung in Seiner Zeit Und Heute (Dr
    Caspar Voght – seine Bedeutung in seiner Zeit und heute (Dr. Reinhard Crusius, Prof. Dr. Peter Klein) Caspar Voghts Wirken ist in Hamburg, mehr noch darüber hinaus, unzureichend bekannt. Er war eine der bedeutendsten Personen der hamburgischen und norddeutschen Geschichte, mit positiven Wirkungen bis heute und weit über diesen Raum hinaus. Die folgenden Ausführungen sollen in groben Zügen die wesentlichen Bereiche seines Wirkens in Erinnerung rufen. Caspar Voght, der Zeitgenosse Goethes, war. • teilweise europaweit ein Begründer und Initiator einer neuen, auf Selbsthilfe zielenden Armenpflege; • der Mitinitiator bedeutender sozialreformerischer Gesetzesvorhaben bzw. Institutionen in Hamburg und teilweise europaweit; • der Begründer tiefgreifend neuer Sozialbeziehungen zwischen „Patron“ und „Landarbeiter“ in der Landwirtschaft; • der Schöpfer einer ästhetischen und gleichzeitig praktisch und gemeinnützig orientierten Parkkultur und Landschaftspflege; • ein bedeutender Anreger neuer, auf Selbstversorgung zielender Formen der Landwirtschaft (d. h. durch Ertragssteigerung der Böden geförderte Selbstversorgung auch kleinerer Landwirte und der Selbstversorgung der Bevölkerung als Land/Nation); • in den beiden letztgenannten Aktivitäten betrieb er auch, weit vor seiner Zeit, was man heute Ökologie und nachhaltiges Wirtschaften nennen würde. Caspar Voght lebte von 1752 bis 1839. Er verbrachte eine sorglose Jugend (bis auf eine schwere Blatternerkrankung), lernte im Privatpark seiner Eltern in (Hbg.)Hamm die Liebe zur Gartengestaltung und Landwirtschaft, eignete sich eine umfassende humanistische (und später agrarwissenschaftliche) Bildung an, machte als 20jähriger eine dreijährige(!) Europareise (der noch viele folgen sollten) und sprach Latein, Englisch, Französisch, Spanisch, Italienisch und gut auch Dänisch und Holländisch. Er erbte 1779 als 27jähriger von seinem Vater, der zwei Jahre später starb, ein gut florierendes Handelsunternehmen, war also schon von Hause aus sehr reich.

  • Sitten Und Mode Fashion, Gender, and Public Identities in Hamburg at the Turn of the Nineteenth Century
    Sitten und Mode Fashion, Gender, and Public Identities in Hamburg at the Turn of the Nineteenth Century Katherine B. Aaslestad “Whoever knew Hamburg before the French Revolution and sees it now,” the journal Hamburg und Altona observed in 1801, “will hardly recognize it. The people and their manners, their lifestyle, their social tone, their tastes, their architecture, their homes, including their inner and outer decorations, have all undergone great changes.”1 At the turn of the nineteenth century, Hamburgers recognized that their republi- can city-state was in the midst of a serious transformation, one aspect related to new forms of consumption. The acquisition of material goods de‹ned Hamburg’s municipal culture in new ways. During the 1790s, increasing consumption encouraged new public behaviors among Hamburg’s women and men that many observers believed posed a threat to the welfare of their republic. At the core of this trans- formation lay a distinct shift in civic morality in which a traditional concept of duty to the public good was replaced by a modern emphasis on individual grati‹cation. For many contemporaries, clear evidence of the betrayal of communal republican virtues lay in the escalation of conspicuous consumption evidenced by society’s embrace of fashion and luxuries. Changes in Hamburg’s political culture were in›uenced by an array of political, economic, and social events that also transformed much of the rest of Europe during the revolutionary decades of the late eigh- teenth century and ‹rst decades of the nineteenth century. This chapter examines the intersection of two historic trends: the emergence of bourgeois modes of consumption and new constructions of gender for women and men.2 Until recently, scholars have read fashion in terms 282 Fashion, Gender, and Public Identities in Hamburg 283 of gender polarities.
