    Wealth Year 1500 Produced by the SASI group (Sheffield) and Mark Newman (Michigan) In the year 1500 European territories were some of the wealthiest on earth, when measured by the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) per person. The regions with the largest total GDPs were Eastern Asia and Southern Asia. These were also the most populous regions at that time. The regions with the lowest GDP in 1500 were Central Africa and Southeastern Africa. These regions also had the lowest GDP per person. In 2002 these regions enjoyed an even smaller proportion of the world total GDP expressed in purchasing power parity dollars than they did in 1500.

Within the research context of research on athletes’ careers, fighters’ (auto-)biographies, disciplinary studies about fighting, and successful aging at work the authors aim at modelling typical life courses of fighters at a maximum diversity. The main data source are in-depth interviews with high- and top-level martial artists and combat sports athletes. Concerning findings, an overview is presented which can be put in the nutshell that fighters’ lives are diverse, dis- tinct, and dynamic. Against this backdrop the authors provide an outlook on further re- search. Zusammenfassung In dem Beitrag geht es um die Konzeption eines interkulturellen Forschungsprogramms zum Leben von Kämpfern. In den Forschungszusammenhängen Karriereforschung von Athleten, (Auto-)Biographien von Kämpfern, Studien verschiedener Disziplinen über Kampfsport und erfolgreiches Altern am Arbeitsplatz zielen die Autoren darauf ab, typische Lebensverläufe von Kämpfern in maximaler Vielfalt zu modellieren. Hauptdatenquelle sind biografische In- terviews mit Top-Athlet*innen im Kampfsport. Die Befunde führen zur Schlussfolgerung, dass Lebensläufe von Kämpfern vielfältig, spezifisch und dynamisch sind. Vor diesem Hintergrund geben die Autoren einen Ausblick auf die weitere Forschung.

  • Julia Mattes Lagerthas Schwestern? Über Kämpferinnen in Der (Früh-)Geschichte Und Waffengräber Von Frauen in Nordeuropa
    Julia Mattes Lagerthas Schwestern Julia Mattes Lagerthas Schwestern? Über Kämpferinnen in der (Früh-)Geschichte und Waffengräber von Frauen in Nordeuropa. Zusammenfassung Während kämpfende Frauen längst fester Bestandteil der westlichen Popkultur und somit für viele jüngere Menschen selbstverständlich sind, finden sie von Seiten der Geschichtswissenschaft keine sonderliche Beachtung. Obwohl die Geschichtsschreibung zahlreiche Beispiele für kämpfende Frauen, Kriegerinnen und Soldatinnen verzeichnete, genießt diese Thematik innerhalb des Faches keine große Aufmerksamkeit. Noch weniger befasst sich die prähistorische Archäologie mit diesem Topos. Obwohl in letzter Zeit eindeutige eisenzeitliche Frauen-Waffengräber in Skandinavien und England zu Tage kamen, scheint die Interpretation "Kriegerin" für viele Wissenschaftler, insbesondere in der Archäologie, ein Problem zu sein. Das Bild von Frauen in Waffen wird trotz vielzähliger historisch belegter Exempel und entsprechender archäologischer Befunde schlichtweg abgelehnt. Oft wird angeführt, es gäbe keine historischen Belege für die Existenz streitender Frauen. Dies ist schlichtweg falsch. Ziel dieses Papers ist es, der Forschung einen kleinen Überblick über die entsprechenden Aktivitäten von Frauen in früheren Jahrhunderten zu geben und sich ferner mit der Frage auseinander zusetzen, weshalb dies für große Teile der rezenten archäologischen Forschung so problematisch zu sein scheint. Dies offenbart auch eine historisch gewachsene, fundamentale methodische Problematik des Faches. Schlüsselworte: Archäologie; Geschichte; Kunstgeschichte; England; Finnland; Norwegen; Schweden; Skandinavien; Mittelalter; Wikingerzeit; Frauengrab; Methodik; Schwertfunde; Waffengräber; Kriegerin; Schildmaid; Japan; Ninja; Onna-bugeisha; Samurai; Kreuzzug, Kriegszug; Krieg. Abstract While for quite some time fighting women have been a fixed part of western pop culture and thus a normal sight for younger people, historical science has so far not been paying any particular attention to them.

The event was attended by almost 500 guests from sport, industry and the media. At the heart of the turmoil in the Munich trend restaurant H’ugo’s: the eight DTM drivers, Motorsport Boss Dr. Wolfgang Ullrich and numerous VIPs. If this evening was a foretaste for the 2013 DTM season, then the fans can look forward to an exciting year: at the ‘Audi DTM Warm-up 2013’ in the Munich scene hotspot H’ugo’s, the drivers around double Champion Timo Scheider, shooting star Edoardo Mortara as well as newcomer Jamie Green appeared easygoing and relaxed, but also feisty and ready for action. “Our goal is to bring the title back to Ingolstadt,” explained Scheider on behalf of his team-mates. Audi issued the invitation to Munich to present its squad for the 2013 season to media representatives and all other members of the DTM family. The guests had the opportunity to have a quiet chat away from the pit lane and paddock with the racing drivers, team bosses and the personalities responsible for motorsport at the four rings, and to get in tune together for the ten races.
