Ein Berg als Streitfall, der die Gemüter erhitzte und an dem sich die Geister schieden – darum geht es in diesem Buch. Im Zentrum des Interesses stehen die Felsstürze, die sich 1999 am Eiblschrofen bei Schwaz in Tirol ereigneten. Weil der Eintritt eines Bergsturzes nicht ausgeschlossen schien, wurden die AnrainerInnen zweier Ortsteile aus ihren Häusern evakuiert. Eine Debatte darüber begann, ob die Geschehnisse ein Naturereignis oder Menschenwerk waren. Ein Bergwerk wurde geschlossen, wenn auch nicht definitiv stillgelegt. Die "letzten Knappen Tirols" verloren ihren Arbeitsplatz. Auf der Grundlage von Interviews und von Feld- und Archivforschungen zeichnet der Autor das Verhältnis von Berg und Leuten nach, das 1999 aus dem Gleichgewicht und in eine Schräglage, wenn nicht ins Kippen zu geraten drohte. Den Perspektiven und Praktiken von AnrainerInnen und Bergleuten gilt dabei besondere Aufmerksamkeit. Die Studie verknüpft Fragestellungen der Montanethnografie und Katastrophenforschung und erkundet Möglichkeiten und Grenzen einer ethnographisch-kulturanalytischen Auseinandersetzung mit Themen der politischen Ökologie. Als eine Fallstudie im nur zu wörtlichen Sinn setzt sie sich auch mit Berg als Nicht-Fall auseinander – mit dem Ausbleiben von Ereignissen.

This article features and interprets the 'Ploner-Debate', a public debate in Tyrol and South Tyrol, that focussed on the interdependencies between 'folk culture' ('Volkskultur') and NS-ideology in historical perspective and the contemporary dealing with this 'brown heritage' in political and public contexts. As one important result of this debate, the provincial government of Tyrol initiated research projects on this topic, among them one about the Intermediate Post for 'German Folk Costume' (Mittelstelle 'Deutsche Tracht') in Innsbruck (1939–1945), its head Gertrud Pesendorfer and its effects up to today. By reconstructing the debate, this article explains the background, aims and challenges of a research project about folk costumes in the context of current discussions around 'folk culture' ('Volkskultur') in European Ethnology. ; This article features and interprets the 'Ploner-Debate', a public debate in Tyrol and South Tyrol, that focussed on the interdependencies between 'folk culture' ('Volkskultur') and NS-ideology in historical perspective and the contemporary dealing with this 'brown heritage' in political and public contexts.

Volume four of "bricolage. Innsbrucker Zeitschrift für Europäische Ethnologie " focuses on the color gray. Special attention is paid to the interactions between color as a quality of perception and the quality of cultural objectivations. Our "eye knowledge" of colors is created by dealing with traditional modes of perception and the meanings of things, images and behavioral patterns, myths, stereotypes and more, in short: with the objective culture. In this sense, "objective color" is not a quality that is inherent in natural phenomena independently of humans. It is shaped by culture and, in turn, can shape culture. The "World 3" (Karl R. Popper) of color is therefore the focus of our interest, to which the papers in this volume want to contribute from various disciplinary perspectives. In addition to well-known and respected scholars from Germany, Austria and Sweden - in line with the profile of "bricolage" as a publication organ for young academics - young academics are also given the possibility to publish their first texts.

The fifth volume of "bricolage. Innsbrucker Zeitschrift für Europäische Ethnologie" analyzes health and disease-related concepts and practices of different social groups from a socio-historical and cultural-scientific point of view. Instead of the terminology of the older "folk medicine research", the authors orientate themselves on the concept of "medical culture(s)" as is the case in the identical research area "Cultural Encounters - Cultural Conflicts" of the University of Innsbruck. This association of humanities and social science subjects deals with different forms of cultural contact, whereby culture is understood as a dynamic system for the creation of meaning. So far, there is no anthology that does this with regard to specifically Austrian conditions and developments. The fifth volume of "bricolage" tries to fill this gap and would like to stimulate further discussion in this field of research in Austria.
