South Sudan became independent in 2011 after decades of rebel wars with the Government of Sudan. Independence prompted discussions about South Sudanese identity and shared history, in which material objects and cultural heritage featured as vitally important resources. However, the long-term effects of colonialism and conflict had largely precluded any concerted attempts to preserve material culture within the country; museums remained in Khartoum, the capital of the formally united Sudan. Furthermore, tens of thousands of objects had been removed from what is now South Sudan during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries to museum and private collections around the world. Up to now there have been few attempts to reconnect the history of these South Sudanese museum collections with people in or from South Sudan. Pieces of a Nation is the first extended study of South Sudanese material cultural heritage in museum collections and beyond. The chapters discuss a range of different objects and practices - from museum objects taken from South Sudan in the context of enslavement and colonialism in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries to efforts by South Sudanese to preserve their country's cultural heritage during recent conflicts. With essays by 32 contributors in Europe, South Sudan, Uganda and Australia, this book delivers a unique range of perspectives on museum objects from South Sudan and on heritage practices in the country and among its diaspora. Written by curators, academics, heritage professionals and artists in accessible and engaging style, it is intended for scholars, museum professionals and a wide range of individuals interested in South Sudan, African arts and cultures, the history of museum collecting and colonialism and/or the role of material heritage in peacebuilding and refugee contexts. At a time of widespread, prominent debates

Beobachtungen zu Permanenzen und Wandel stehen im Zentrum der Skizze zur Stadtentwicklung in Westeuropa. Sie unternimmt den Versuch, langlebige Verhältnisse und deutliche Einschnitte in einer weiten zeitlichen und räumlichen Perspektive zu umreissen, die von der Verfestigung der neuen städtischen Lebensform im 12. Jahrhundert bis ins 19. Jahrhundert reicht, als sich mit der politischen Neuordnung und der Industrialisierung die Vorstellungen von Stadt veränderten. Zusammengeführt und partiell neu bewertet werden damit epochenspezifische Befunde der historischen Forschung zur mittelalterlichen und frühneuzeitlichen Stadt, vergleichende Untersuchungen zu regionalen Unterschieden in Westeuropa und Erkenntnisse anderer an der Städteforschung beteiligter Disziplinen.

Das Buch beschreibt bestehende Diskriminierungsmechanismen, die sich gegen transgeschlechtliche Menschen richten. Die Kritik der Autorin bietet auf gesellschaftlicher Ebene Einblicke in rechtliche Aspekte des "Transsexuellengesetzes", in medizinischpsychologische Bereiche wie z. B. die Gutachtenpraktiken und auch in ausschließende Mechanismen cisnormativer Feminismen. "Trans. Frau. Sein." ist eine Kombination wissenschaftlicher Arbeit, überspitzter satirischer Darstellung, Dekonstruktion von Cissexismus und autobiographischer Elemente aus dem persönlichen (Er)-Leben der Autorin.

Indigenous cultures are not terra nullius -- nobody's land, free to be taken. True Tracks paves the way for the respectful and ethical engagement with Indigenous knowledges and cultures. Using real-world cases and personal stories, Meriam/Wuthathi lawyer Dr Terri Janke draws on twenty years of professional experience to inform and inspire people working across many industries -- from art and architecture, to film and publishing, dance, science and tourism. What Indigenous materials and knowledge are you using? How will your project affect and involve Indigenous communities? Are your sharing your profits with those communities? True Tracks helps answer these questions and many more, and provides invaluable guidelines that enable Indigenous peoples to actively practise, manage and strengthen their cultural life. If we keep our tracks true, Indigenous culture and knowledge can benefit everyone and empower future generations
