AbstractThis article critically examines the prevalent nationalist interpretation of historical images featuring textiles from rural regions. In an effort to disentangle the threads of folk costumes, it proposes a conscious unlearning of the way we read images of rural material culture from the late 19th century. This period has entered historiography as a period of intensifying national movements and political use of rural culture, in particular in Central and Eastern Europe. So-called folk costumes have been viewed as a symbolic representation of the nation, whereas their broader social and economic role in the history of industrial society has been overshadowed. By bringing together the production, collection, and exhibition of rural material culture, this article reveals processes in industrial society that shaped the modern history of folk costumes. It draws on late-19th-century source material stemming from a network centered in Prague that promoted textiles from rural Bohemia, Moravia, Hungary, and Galicia as ethno-commodities. Textiles were integrated into women's industrial education and presented at events promoting national economy and the latest technological innovations. Thus, this article contributes to nationalism studies by discussing capitalism and industrialism and seeks to further scrutinize the history of nationalism in Central and Eastern Europe.

How did a kremlin, a fortified monastery or a wooden church in Russia become part of the heritage of the entire world? Corinne Geering traces the development of international cooperation in conservation since the 1960s, highlighting the role of experts and sites from the Soviet Union and later the Russian Federation in UNESCO and ICOMOS. Despite the ideological divide, the notion of world heritage gained momentum in the decades following World War II. Divergent interests at the local, national and international levels had to be negotiated when shaping the Soviet and Russian cultural heritage displayed to the world. The socialist discourse of world heritage was re-evaluated during perestroika and re-integrated as UNESCO World Heritage in a new state and international order in the 1990s.

Die vom britischen Kurator und Autor herausgegebene Publikation Red Africa macht sich daran, eine scheinbar vergessene Vergangenheit freizulegen: die sozialistische Freundschaft mit Afrika im Kalten Krieg. Die Beiträge präsentieren die Resultate eines zweijährigen Forschungsprojekts und eines Saisonprogramms in der Calvert 22 Foundation in London, welches die Ausstellung Things Fall Apart, Filmvorführungen und Seminare beinhaltete. In der Form einer Collage sind Abschriften von Gesprächen zusammengetragen mit sechs wissenschaftlichen Essays und kleinen Einblicken in das Schaffen von elf Künstler_innen und Künstlergruppen, deren Projekte in der Ausstellung gezeigt wurden. Die Mischung von Ausstellungskatalog, Sammelband und künstlerisches Hochglanzmagazin beginnt eine Konversation mit ihren Leser_innen und Betrachter_innen, die ebenso faszinierend wie verwirrend ist und sie mehr wollen lässt. ; The publication Red Africa edited by British curator and writer Mark Nash sets out to excavate a seemingly forgotten past: the socialist friendship with Africa in the Cold War. The contributions present the results of a two-year research project and seasonal programme at Calvert 22 Foundation in London that included the exhibition Things Fall Apart, film screenings, and seminars. In the form of a collage, transcripts of conversations are assembled together with six scholarly essays and glimpses into the work of eleven artists and artist groups whose projects were on display at the exhibition. The mix of exhibition catalogue, edited volume, and glossy art magazine enters into a conversation with its readers and viewers that is equally intriguing and confusing and that leaves them wanting more.

Der Sammelband Osteuropäische Geschichte und Globalgeschichte von Martin Aust und Julia Obertreis stellt den neuesten Beitrag zur Debatte dar, wie der regionale Fokus der Osteuropäischen Geschichte nach dem Kalten Krieg zu fassen sei. Er versammelt ausgewählte Beiträge der gleichnamigen Konferenz, die 2011 am Herder-Institut in Marburg stattfand. In Form von Fallstudien entwickeln die Autoren und Autorinnen globale Perspektiven auf die von ihnen untersuchte Region. Obwohl diese Perspektiven durch die 'Positionalität' der Beiträge beschränkt sind, geben sie einen Eindruck davon, was solche Herangehensweisen an Osteuropa für die Globalgeschichte insgesamt bieten können. ; The edited volume Osteuropäische Geschichte und Globalgeschichte by Martin Aust and Julia Obertreis represents the most recent output of the on-going discussion on how to frame the regional focus of Eastern European History after the Cold War. It comprises selected contributions from a conference that took place at the Herder Institute in Marburg in 2011. By means of case studies, the authors assume global historical perspectives for their region of expertise. Though limited by the 'positionality' of the contributors, the articles reveal the insights that such approaches to Eastern Europe may offer to the field of global history on the whole.

How was heritage understood and implemented in European socialist states after World War II? By exploring national and regional specificities within the broader context of internationalization, this volume enriches the conceptual, methodological and empirical scope of heritage studies through a series of fascinating case studies. Its transnational approach highlights the socialist world s diverse interpretations of heritage and the ways in which they have shaped the trajectories of present-day preservation practices
