"Aftermaths explores the life-changing intergenerational effects of colonial violence in Aotearoa New Zealand, Australia and the Pacific. The settings of these accessible, illustrated short essays range from Orakau pa in the Waikato to the Kimberleys in northwest Australia, from orphanages in Fiji to the ancestral lands of the Wiyot Tribe in Northern California. Story by story, this collection powerfully reveals the living legacy of historical events, showing how they have been remembered (and misremembered) within families and communities into the present day. Editors Angela Wanhalla, Lyndall Ryan and Camille Nurka have invited a group of prominent scholars to write about colonial histories by reflecting on a range of events through a variety of perspectives, including personal experiences, family stories, collaborative research, oral and literary histories, commemoration activities and contemporary artworks. The result is a readable, informative and often extremely moving book that makes an essential contribution to our knowledge of the effects of colonial violence and dispossession."

"Germany developed a large colonial empire over the last thirty years of the 19th century, spanning regions of the west coast of Africa to its east coast and beyond. Largely forgotten for many years, recent intense debates about Africa's cultural heritage in European museums have brought this period of African and German history back into the spotlight. German Colonialism in Africa and its Legacies brings much-needed context to these debates, exploring perspectives on the architecture, art, urbanism, and visual culture of German colonialism in Africa, and its legacies in postcolonial and present-day Namibia, Cameroon, and Germany. The first in-depth exploration of the designed and visual aspects of German colonialism, the book presents a series of essays combining formal analyses of painting, photography, performance art, buildings, and space with the discourse analysis approach associated with postcolonial theory. Covering the entire period from the build-up to colonialism in the early-19th century to the present, subjects covered range from late-19th-century German colonial paintings of African landscapes and people to German land appropriation through planning and architectural mechanisms, and from indigenous African responses to colonial architecture, to explorations of the legacies of German colonialism by contemporary artists today. This powerful and revealing collection of essays will encourage new research on this under-explored topic, and demonstrate the importance of historical research to the present, especially with regards to ongoing debates about the presence of material legacies of colonialism in Western culture, museum collections, and immigration policies"--

Durch die breite politische Befürwortung der Energiewende und des stetig wachsenden Bestands an Windenergieanlagen (WEA) in Deutschland und Europa gewinnen auch Fragen des Anlagenrückbaus und Recyclings an Bedeutung. Hierbei bestehen auch jenseits des vielbeachteten Rotorblattrecyclings mit ihren glasfaserverstärkten (GFK) und carbonfaserverstärkten (CFK) Anlagenteilen – welche in der vorliegenden Untersuchung ausgeklammert sind – weitere Herausforderungen, die in diesem Vorhaben betrachtet werden. Zentraler Forschungsgegenstand war dabei die Überprüfung und Bewertung bestehender Ansätze zur Berechnung der Rückstellungsleistungen (§ 35 BauGB) und die Entwicklung von Maßnahmen zur gesicherten Übermittlung von rückbaurelevanten Herstellerinformationen. Grundlage für diese Untersuchungen war dabei die Erfassung der bestehenden gesetzlichen und untergesetzlichen Regelungen sowie Daten, die im Rahmen einer Behörden- und einer Branchenbefragung erhoben wurden. Basierend auf den Untersuchungen werden Empfehlungen ausgesprochen, die einem effizienten behördlichen Vollzug und einer Etablierung einer guten Rückbaupraxis dienen sollen. Ebenfalls wurde untersucht und bewertet, ob sich Elemente der abfallwirtschaftlichen Produktverantwortung auf Rückbau und Recycling von WEA übertragen lassen.
