Due to the global nature of our research and related activities and in response to numerous requests from research- ers and cooperation partners around the world, we have switched to this language format with the aim of communicating still more fully and effec- tively with our international readership and widening access to in-depth information on the work we do here at the Georg Eckert Institute. In this context, a special thank-you goes to our translators Katherine Ebisch-Burton and Nicola As textbooks are eminently political and often act Watson, who speedily and expertly translated as sites of political controversy, our research most of the contributions and proofread those frequently revolves around the role of educational which were originally written in English. media before, during and after conflict and around the potential of textbooks to help promote We know from our work here at the GEI that text- respect and understanding for other people in books are much more than just educational the context of conflicts taking place today (see materials.

However, education also has the potential to contribute to With the very best wishes from Braunschweig the transformation of conflict situations and to peace-building. Throughout the twentieth century and to this day, a large number of initiatives have sought to turn history textbooks into vehicles of reconciliation. Simone Lässig FOCUS: CONFLICTS AND INTERVENTIONS Foundation of the German-Polish Textbook Commission: Professor Wladyslaw Markiewicz (left) and Professor Georg Eckert Bulletin | Focus: Conflicts and Interventions 7 TEXTBOOKS AS SITES OF POLITICAL CONTROVERSY Simone Lässig Textbooks have a long history of being pressed into the service of education for nationalism – a history that is by no means over. They possess the potential to exacerbate conflict or mediate for peace. The European textbook revision move- ment, which commenced in the inter-war period and entered a new phase after the end of the Second World War, is viewed internationally as an exemplar of good practice; this applies particularly to initiatives co-initiated by (West) Germany. But might this model be appropriate in other circumstances, and particularly in regions scarred by animosity and strife? TEXTBOOKS AND THEIR POTENTIAL IN TODAY'S NEW JOINT TEXTBOOK COMMISSION WITH POLAND: FLASHPOINTS OF CONFLICT A TRAILBLAZER OF RECONCILIATION The year 1949 saw the first of a series of meetings Similar efforts between Germany and Poland of British and German representatives to discuss proved a great deal more difficult to pursue and textbook issues in Braunschweig, the home of the realise; it was not until the advent of the neue Georg Eckert Institute.

Proponents of this latter view held high, in part unrealistic expec- tations of the recommendations' potential for the promotion of “reconciliation”. It is doubtless the case that the commission, whose work continues to this day, set decisive trends in European poli- tics of memory, yet a decade was to pass before West German society and many of its politicians adjusted to this change in direction. GERMANY'S TEXTBOOK PROCESS: A PARADIGM FOR EAST ASIA The German model of textbook revision was per- ceived as a success beyond the boundaries of Europe. Particularly in East Asia, a region in which conflicts around interpretations of history flare up periodically and historical and geograph- ical depictions of events in textbooks can lead to tensions between states, yet in which a large number of groupings within civil society are working to foster mutual dialogue and under- ISRAEL AND PALESTINE: standing and consider textbooks key resources WHAT SHOULD WE DO? in this endeavour, many have wondered how best It is far from certain that, in such conditions, to harness European-style processes of textbook the development of consensus on sensitive revision to productive effect.

Much contemporary writing on media and education examines best practices or individual learning processes, is fired by techno-optimism or techno-pessimism about young people’s use of technology, or focuses exclusively on digital media. Relatively few studies attend – empirically or conceptually – to the embeddedness of educational media in contemporary cultural, social and political processes. The Palgrave Studies in Educational Media series aims to explore textbooks and other educational media as sites of cultural contestation and socio-political forces. Drawing on local and global perspectives, and attending to the digital, non-digital and post-­ digital, the series explores how these media are entangled with broader continuities and changes in today’s society, with how media and media practices play a role in shaping identifications, subjectivations, inclusions and exclusions, economies and global political projects.

Finally, we have Wolf Theiss also outlined some of the main legal developments that affect M&A transactions in each country in CEE/SEE.

  • Masterpieces of the KUNSTHALLE BREMEN from Delacroix to Beckmann
    Press release Masterpieces of the KUNSTHALLE BREMEN From Delacroix to Beckmann 10/25/2019 >> 02/16/2020 I am pleased to present the exhibition catalog the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao has devoted to the collections of the Kunsthalle Bremen, one of Germany’s most celebrated museums for its pioneering role in modern art collecting. Its fascinating collecting history began in 1823, when a group of art lovers from the city of Bremen joined together to create this institution, then known as the Kunstverein. This wonderful exhibition allows visitors to see the evolution of European art in the 19th and 20th centuries, and at the same time delve into the aesthetics of two important creative centers: Germany—represented by such important figures as Caspar David Friedrich, Modersohn-Becker, Dix, Kirchner, Beckmann and Nolde—and France—with artists such as Cézanne, Van Gogh, Monet, Delacroix and Picasso. The selection of works is a testament to the passion for painting and the foresight of German collectors in their acquisition of contemporary paintings which, over time, have achieved masterpiece status. I congratulate the organizers of the exhibition for their magnificent work to make this project a reality and offer the public a new perspective on the world of painting. It is a great satisfaction for Iberdrola to work together with a cultural institution of such international standing as the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao, with whom we have collaborated since its foundation over 20 years ago. This collaboration comes out of our belief in the importance of promoting art as a vital part of our Social Dividend.
