  • The Violence of Religious Sects
    Marco Geuna Machiavelli and the violence of religious sects (New York, Italian Academy, December 7th 2016) 1. Introduction: Contemporary post-secular societies and the possibility of a critique of religion 1. Contemporary democratic societies have for some time been presented as post-secular societies. 1 This newly coined adjective is customarily taken to suggest that the process of secularization, which has characterized western societies since the early modern period, appears to have come to a halt. Indeed, for more than two decades we have had to deal with what some have called the “revenge of God”2, with a return of religions, in particular monotheistic religions, to the forefront of the public sphere. As early as the 1990s, scholars like José Casanova3 and Peter Berger4 called attention to the re-emergence of the need for the sacred and, more generally, to the processes of de-secularization passing through contemporary societies. They analysed the increasingly widespread calls for the de- privatisation of religious faiths advanced in diverse social and political contexts, focusing not only the dynamics of radical Islam but also on more recent developments in evangelical Protestantism and in important sectors of Catholicism in various European and American countries. In the late modern period the religious phenomenon thus seems to have regained the presence and importance in the public scene that over the past two centuries it appeared to have lost. This return of religion to the public sphere has also been investigated, from a normative point of view, by contemporary moral philosophy and political philosophy. In the first instance thinkers critical of liberalism, neo-conservative authors and certain communitarian philosophers5 raised the issue of a need to rework the notion of secularism which, together with the separation of the state and church, was at the centre of the liberal-democratic order.

Contact: <[email protected]> Pre-1900 German-Canadian Ethnic Minority Writing <http://docs.lib.purdue.edu/clcweblibrary/germancanadianwriting> Steven Tötösy de Zepetnek In this study, I locate the corpus of pre-1900 German-Canadian writing in Canadian literature. While the problematics of ethnicity and the question surrounding multi- and interculturalism is a matter of debate world wide, Canadian ethnic minority writing has been paid attention to, although in itself in a limited fashion, in some ways with more success than in scholarship elsewhere (see, for example, Dimić; Padolsky; Simon and Leahy; Pivato; Tötösy de Zepetnek). The present introduction of German-speaking Canadians' early writings is to add to the corpus of Canadian ethnic minority writing (see Tötösy de Zepetnek <http://docs.lib.purdue.edu/clcweblibrary/canadianethnicbibliography>). The underlying reasoning for the adding of the corpus is to dialogue with the still generally accepted notion in Canadian literary studies that Canadian literature consists of English-Canadian, French-Canadian, and Québécois- Canadian literature. The terms "ethnic literature" or "ethnic minority writing" are terms faute de mieux and arguably so.

  • Review of the Waterloo Centre for German Studies
    Review of the Waterloo Centre for German Studies Report on WCGS Activities 2004 – 2009 and Plan for 2009-2014 a) Executive Summary In its first five years, the Waterloo Centre for German Studies has reached its initial fundraising goal of $ 3 million and it conducted, organized, supported, and facilitated a large number of activities which engaged the academy and the broader community with the culture, history, language of societies of German cultural and linguistic background from central Europe as well as here in Canada. The Centre • conducted, disseminated, supported, and facilitated research on these societies, • organized two international conferences—one on cultural, historical, and linguistic aspects of German- speaking minorities worldwide and one on contemporary film in Germany and Austria and social change, • published two books, • obtained external (SSHRC, DAAD) and internal funding for the two conferences and the Kinofest, and • conducted and coordinated a number research projects. In all three areas—fundraising, cultural and educational programming, and research—the Waterloo Centre for German Studies has fulfilled its mandate. b) Progress Report The Waterloo Centre for German Studies (WCGS) was proposed to Senate in April 2004 and approved in June 2004. The proposal was prepared and submitted by David G. John, Full Professor of German in the Department of Germanic and Slavic Studies (GSS) at the University of Waterloo. He was the Director of WCGS from its inception to 31 December 2008 and is now its Founding Director. Mat Schulze, Associate Professor of German in GSS, has been the Director since 1 January 2009. The WCGS has been and continues to be active in conducting and disseminating research in German Studies, offering programming for both the academy and the broader community as well as in fundraising to support these activities.

This topic has only rarely been addressed in the heritage sector and its literature (Högberg et al. 2017), although this is now changing (see especially Harrison et al. forthcoming; Holtorf and Högberg forthcoming a). It is surprising that critical heritage studies and heritage management are only now beginning to take seriously the consequences for the future of temporal variation in interpreting and using herit- age. By now it has become widely accepted that key concepts of heritage management and interpretation such as ownership, authenticity, use and value are culturally specific and variable in space.
