'Ginzburg’s death...means that one of the last living links with a remarkable postwar generation of historians has gone....As the rise of 21st-century authoritarianism creates new generations of scapegoats and misfits, the approach of one of Italy’s greatest scholars speaks directly to our times.'

UN experts call on the #Tanzanian government to publish commission reports on relocation of #Maasai from #Ngorongoro: “Historical agreements must be honoured. Indigenous Peoples have a right to remain on their traditional lands. #Conservation efforts must not come at the expense of human rights.”

Ich bin ein bisschen nerdy geworden hiermit, und es geht viel darum, wie wir eigentlich Geschichte denken - also was Geschichte antreibt, wie wir das aufschreiben, wen wir als handelnde Personen wahrnehmen und aus welcher Perspektive wir ökonomische, soziale, kulturelle Strukturen analysieren.

Also do check out the wonderful 'Neighbourhods and the Colonial City' special issue in its entirety, expertly put together by Avner Ofrath and @aselmeyer.bsky.social. Pleasure to be a part of it.

Hard to take in the news that @ucl.ac.uk intends to close the IAS. For me, the IAS stands for what academia can be at its best: a genuinely open space for thinking, a home for ambitious projects, and a place where difficult questions can be pursued across disciplines. Ending it is a serious error.

Auch hier im Vereinigten Königreich. Sehr zu empfehlen. @he-mel.bsky.social

Unbedingte Kaufempfehlung!

www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.... our piece on Germany and the question of imperialism is out. An attempt at wrapping our heads around the political economy of Germany in times of genocide.

We take up Florence Bernault’s idea of "colonial transactions" and consider how it can help us think about imperial infrastructures in new ways.

Glad to share that our special issue of German History, co-edited with @nkleinoeder.bsky.social, is now available in First View. It focuses on colonial railway infrastructure in the German Empire. If you would like access, just let us know. doi.org/10.1093/gerh...

"In den meisten Fällen ist es übrigens so, dass Forschungen zu Tätern unterschiedlicher Nationalitäten vor allem in den jeweiligen Ländern oder Nachfolgestaaten durchgeführt werden. Warum sollte dies ausgerechnet in Deutschland ganz anders sein?" Der methodische Nationalismus lebt (wieder)!
