Belgien hat großen Anteil an allen historischen Entwicklungen Europas und beherbergt zentrale Einrichtungen der Europäischen Union. Trotzdem ist es in der deutschsprachigen Forschung wenig präsent. Dieses Defizit will der 2012 gegründete Arbeitskreis Historische Belgienforschung beheben. In diesem Sammelband werden die Beiträge seiner ersten beiden Tagungen der Öffentlichkeit zugänglich gemacht, um den Stand der historischen Belgienforschung zu dokumentieren. Nicht nur Historikerinnen und Historiker, sondern auch Vertreterinnen und Vertreter der Germanistik, der Kunst- und Kulturwissenschaft sowie der Politik- und Sozialwissenschaften präsentieren Beiträge, deren zeitlicher Rahmen vom 18. Jahrhundert bis nahe an die Gegenwart reicht. Aufgrund der Lage, Bevölkerungsstruktur sowie der historischen und kulturellen Traditionen Belgiens sind stets vergleichende oder transnationale Aspekte berücksichtigt worden, was die Beschäftigung mit seiner Geschichte nicht nur empirisch ertragreich, sondern zugleich methodisch innovativ macht. Mit Beiträgen von Sebastian Bischoff, Lukas Cladders, Sophie De Schaep- drijver, Winfried Dolderer, Alexander Friedman, Thomas L. Gertzen, Christiane Hoffrath, Yves Huybrechts, Christoph Jahr, Christina Kott, Tatjana Mrowka, Jakob Müller, Diana M. Natermann, Peter M.

"'Terra Incognita': D.H. Lawrence at the Frontiers, edited by Virginia Crosswhite Hyde and Eari G. Ingersoll, is a collection of nine essays by scholars from five countries. They show ways in which Lawrence explored not only remote regions of the earth but also consciousness and human relations. The book also considers implications of terms like "frontier," "boundary," and "place." It gives readings that are the first to utilize new texts and research in the final prose volumes of the Cambridge Lawrence Edition. This includes all the essays Lawrence wrote in America about Southwestern and Mexican Indians (Mornings in Mexico and Other Essays, 2009). Writers are Michael Hollington, Judith Ruderman, Edina Pereira Crunfli, Tina Ferris, Virginia Crosswhite Hyde, Jack Stewart, Keith Cushman, Julianne New-mark, and Paul Poplawski. In addition to the essays, the book contains eight pages of color illustrations. It will interest both general readers and scholars of Lawrence and of twentieth-century literature"--Publisher's website.

This book addresses the many avenues that are still left unexplored when it comes to our understanding of the First World War in the Low Countries. With the ongoing the centenary of the Great War, many events have been organized in the United Kingdom to commemorate its military events, its socio-political consequences, and its cultural legacy. Of these events, very few have paid attention to the fates of Belgium or the Netherlands, even though it was the invasion of Belgium in August 1914 that was the catalyst for Great Britain declaring war. The occupation of Belgium had long-term consequences for its people, but much of the military and social history of the Western Front concentrates on northern France, and the Netherlands is largely forgotten as a nation affected by the First World War. By opening the field beyond the military and beyond the front, this collection explores the interdisciplinary and international nature of the Great War.

It is the coldest, windiest, driest place on earth, an icy desert of unearthly beauty and stubborn impenetrability. For centuries, Antarctica has captured the imagination of our greatest scientists and explorers, lingering in the spirit long after their return. Shackleton called it "the last great journey"; for Apsley Cherry-Garrard it was the worst journey in the world. This is a book about the call of the wild and the response of the spirit to a country that exists perhaps most vividly in the mind. Sara Wheeler spent seven months in Antarctica, living with its scientists and dreamers. No book is more true to the spirit of that continent--beguiling, enchanted and vast beyond the furthest reaches of our imagination. Chosen by Beryl Bainbridge and John Major as one of the best books of the year, recommended by the editors of Entertainment Weekly and the Chicago Tribune, one of the Seattle Times's top ten travel books of the year, Terra Incognita is a classic of polar literature.

Due to its unprecedented violence and unexpected duration, the First World War generated many complex and tragic experiences, which over time have been reinterpreted. Connecting past experiences with current memories of the war - in order to revisit in an interdisciplinary way Belgium's archival and literary, as well as material and monumental war heritage - is the goal of this book which presents the outcomes of the research project Experiences and Memories of the Great War in Belgium (MEMEX WW1). The following topics as part of the historical, psychological and memory studies are addressed: emotions and writing strategies in a war context and attitudes towards the Germans based on the diaries of Belgian soldiers and scholars; the memory of the war in the two fort cities of Antwerp and Liege during the Interbellum; the literary reception of Tom Lanoye's No Man's Land and the impact of the reading of some poems to current Flemish students. Another issue concerning the social representations of the war investigates the representations of soldiers as heroes or as victims among young Europeans. As for the impact of war centenary commemoration events, they are analyzed firstly through the iconology of the First World War illustrated on stamps and secondly through the effects of exhibitions and documentaries on young Belgians.

This books examines the history of Belgian physical anthropology in the long nineteenth century and discusses how the notion of ‘race’ structured Belgian pasts and presents as well as relations between metropole and empire. In a context of competing European nationalisms, Belgian anthropologists mainly used physical characters, like skull form and the color of hair and eyes, to delimitate ‘races’, which were believed to be permanent and existent. Their belief in a supposed racial superiority was however above all telling about their own origins and physical characters. Although it is often assumed that these ideas were subsequently transferred to the colony, the case of Belgian colonization in Congo shows that colonial administrators, at least in theory, were reluctant to use the idea of permanent ‘races’ because they needed the possibility of ‘evolution’ to legitimize their actions as part of a ‘civilizing mission’. In reality, however, colonization was based on military occupation and economic exploitation, with devastating effects. This book analyzes how, in this violent context, widespread racial prejudices in fact dehumanized Congolese. This not only allowed colonizers to act inhuman but also reduced Congolese, or their body parts, to objects that could be measured, photographed, casted, and ‘collected’. This volume will be of use to students and scholars alike interested in social and cultural history as well as imperial and colonial history.

Für Belgien stehen viele Bilder: Orte der Hauptstadt wie Atomium, Grande Place/Grote Markt oder Manneken Pis. 'Brüssel' steht oft auch als Synonym für die EU oder bedient das Klischee, Belgien sei ein dysfunktionales, von tiefsitzenden Sprachkonflikten geprägtes Staatswesen. Diese und andere deutsch-belgische Fremd- und Selbstbilder stellen einen Schwerpunkt dieses Sammelbandes dar. Er dokumentiert die sechste Tagung des Arbeitskreises Historische Belgienforschung, die im September 2022 in Kooperation mit dem Berliner Zentrum für Antisemitismusforschung stattfand. Die dort betreute Sammlung des Belgiers Arthur Langerman war Ausgangspunkt für den weiteren Schwerpunkt des Bandes: die 'visuelle Geschichte' des Antijudaismus und Antisemitismus sowie verwandter Phänomene wie Antiziganismus, Rassismus oder radikaler Nationalismus. Diskurse, Mechanismen und Praktiken von Diskriminierung, Ausgrenzung und Verfolgung werden ebenso interdisziplinär erörtert wie die Entstehung, Funktionalisierung oder auch das Verblassen von Stereotypen und Feindbildern.

Kriegsziel Belgien written by Sebastian Bischoff and has been published by Waxmann Verlag this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2018 with History categories.
Am 4. August 1914 marschierten deutsche Truppen in das neutrale Belgien ein und wähnten sich einer vermeintlich bestialisch kämpfenden belgischen Zivilbevölkerung gegenüber. Es entstanden, heute nahezu vergessen, antibelgische Feindbilder, die in der Anfangszeit des Ersten Weltkriegs in der deutschen Medienöffentlichkeit weithin Verbreitung fanden. 'Belgische Grausamkeit' entwickelte sich zum geflügelten Wort, und Belgien wurde - laut dem Herausgeber der liberalen Vossischen Zeitung - zur 'größten Gefahr, die es für Deutschland geben kann'. Die Forderungen überschlugen sich: Das Land müsse unter deutsche Kontrolle gestellt, wenn nicht gar annektiert werden, und eine breite Öffentlichkeit diskutierte die Vertreibung der örtlichen Bevölkerung, ihre 'Ausräumung', um Vergeltung zu üben oder um Siedlungsland bereitzustellen. Sebastian Bischoff analysiert erstmals systematisch die mediale Debatte über ein wichtiges, jedoch kaum beachtetes deutsches Kriegsziel. Er folgt den Dynamiken, Brüchen und Widersprüchen der nach dem katholischen Zentralorgan Germania 'bedeutsamsten aller durch den Krieg aufgeworfenen Fragen'. Die Studie leistet damit einen wichtigen Beitrag zur Nationalismus- und Mediengeschichte des Deutschen Kaiserreichs. Sebastian Bischoff, Dr. phil, ist Wissenschaftlicher Mitarbeiter am Historischen Institut der Universität Paderborn und Mitglied des geschäftsführenden Vorstands des 'Belgienzentrums' (BELZ) an der Universität Paderborn. Er studierte Geschichte, Soziologie und Philosophie an der Ruprecht-Karls-Universität Heidelberg, der Freien Universität Berlin und der Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin und promovierte sich mit einem Promotionsstipendium der Hans-Böckler-Stiftung an der Universität Paderborn. Forschungsschwerpunkte: Globalgeschichte des Nationalismus und postnationaler Netzwerke, Geschichte des Ersten Weltkriegs, historische Selbst-, Fremd- und Feindbildforschung, Sexualitätsgeschichte.

Ohne Indienstnahme der Wirtschaft lässt sich kein Krieg führen. Zumeist wird die Niederlage der Mittelmächte im Ersten Weltkrieg auf ihre wirtschaftliche Unterlegenheit zurückgeführt. Marcel Boldorf präsentiert mit seinem Handbuch ein Panorama der deutschen Kriegswirtschaft zwischen 1914 und 1918. Die Überblicksbeiträge verbinden gesicherte Kenntnisse mit den Ergebnissen neuerer Forschungen und führen fundiert in die Grundlagen der Kriegswirtschaft, die verschiedenen kriegswichtigen Industriesektoren, die Agrarwirtschaft, den Arbeitsmarkt sowie die Außen- und Besatzungswirtschaft ein.
