E40 Inland Waterway - International
E40 Inland Waterway - international - Sectors: Construction Active This profile is actively maintained Send feedback on this profile Created on: May 22 2018 Last update: Aug 24 2021 Contact: Helen Byron, Frankfurt Zoological Society Project website Status Planning Design Agreement Construction Operation Closure Decommission Sectors Construction Location Status Planning Design Agreement Construction Operation Closure Decommission About E40 Inland Waterway The E40 Inland Waterway (E40 IWW) is a transnational project aimed at establishing a 2,000 km Black-to-Baltic-Sea inland waterway through Poland, Belarus and Ukraine connecting the seaports of Gdansk and Kherson. It consists of the following rivers and canals: Vistula, Bug (new canal to be built), Mukhavets, Pina, Pripyat and Dnieper. The reconstruction plans of the E40 mention building a bypass canal in Poland, six or seven dams and locks in the Pripyat, as well as dredging on the entire route so that multitonnage river-sea vessels can follow the course of the rivers. The biggest part of the capital investments (around EUR 12 billion) is directed to the Polish section of the route Vistula—Brest. The Belarusian section has been preliminarily estimated at EUR 150 million. Latest developments Environmental consent for the Siarzewo Dam on the Vistula River revoked Aug 24 2021 E40 waterway recognised as top global biodiversity issue Dec 4 2020 Why this profile? The E40 Inland Waterway is expected to endanger valuable natural areas in Poland, Belarus and Ukraine. These include 29 protected areas in Poland, some of which are part of the Natura 2000 network, about 27 areas in Ukraine, including two natural reserves, six national parks and the Chernobyl Radiation and Environmental Biosphere Reserve. -

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. -

SITUATION of HUMAN RIGHTS in BELARUS in 2014
Human Rights Centre “Viasna” SITUATION OF HUMAN RIGHTS in BELARUS in 2014 REVIEW-CHRONICLE Minsk, 2015 SITUATION OF HUMAN RIGHTS IN BELARUS in 2014 REVIEW-CHRONICLE Author and compiler: Tatsiana Reviaka Editor and author of the foreword: Valiantsin Stefanovich The edition was prepared on the basis of reviews of human rights violations in Belarus published every month in 2014. Each of the monthly reviews includes an analysis of the most important events infl uencing the observance of human rights and outlines the most eloquent and characteristic facts of human rights abuses registered over the described period. The review was prepared on the basis of personal appeals of victims of human rights abuses and the facts which were either registered by human rights activists or reported by open informational sources. The book features photos from the archive of the Human Rights Center “Viasna”, as well as from publications on the websites of Radio Free Europe/ Radio Liberty Belarus service, the Nasha Niva newspaper, tv.lrytas.lt, baj.by, gazetaby.com, and taken by Franak Viachorka and Siarhei Hudzilin. Human Rights Situation in 2014: Trends and Evaluation The situation of human rights during 2014 remained consistently poor with a tendency to deterioration at the end of the year. Human rights violations were of both systemic and systematic nature: basic civil and political rights were extremely restricted, there were no systemic changes in the fi eld of human rights (at the legislative level and (or) at the level of practices). The only positive development during the year was the early release of Ales Bialiatski, Chairman of the Human Rights Centre “Viasna” and Vice-President of the International Federation for Human Rights. -

Are you craving for the medieval mysteries and unforgettable impressions, exciting trips and new discoveries? Welcome to Belarus! It is often called “the country of castles”. The first stone fortresses appeared here in the XIIth century! The tower of Kamenets rising on the western border of Belarus has been an amazing example of the beauty and grace for more than 7 centuries. Mir and Nesvizh castles included into the UNESCO World Heritage list are stunning and unique constructions. Brest fortress walls remember lots of historic events – tragic as well as fascinating. In this edition we present the most interesting objects of the defense architecture of Belarus. However there are far more of them than this brochure can include. -
