Das Beschlussmängelrecht der Personen(handels)gesellschaft nach dem MoPeG
No full textIm Juni 2021 verabschiedete der Bundestag das Gesetz zur Modernisierung des Personengesellschaftsrechts (MoPeG). Diese »Jahrhundertreform« des Personengesellschaftsrechts trat zum 1.

Resounding 1923: Musical Modernities from the Ottoman Empire to the Turkish Republic
No full textThe introduction provides an overview of the concepts and topics explored in this themed issue. It begins by reflecting on practices of commemoration and the significance of 1923 in modern Turkish history. It then discusses the concept of “modernities” in relation to the Ottoman Empire and post-Ottoman nation-states, both in terms of musical developments and broader political and cultural processes. It emphasizes continuities and interactions between Ottoman and post-Ottoman periods, as well as between Europe and Turkey, and highlights the global diversity of experiences of modernity as demonstrated by a range of scholarship in musicology and other fields. The final section summarizes the contributions to the themed issue
Institutionalizing Opera in Turkey: Carl Ebert and the Opera Studio
No full textWhen analyzing the period of “music reform” in Turkey, researchers are grouped around two main tendencies. Those in the first group focus on laws and rules, while those in the second focus on the composers known as the Turkish Five. Yet, there is a body of source material that can break the monotony of existing studies, reveal new knowledge relating to private documents, and illuminate the political dimension of the cultural relations between Turkey and Germany during the 1930s and 1940s and the conflicts between European and Turkish musicians. This body of material consists of the reports and letters of the European experts who worked on the institutionalization of music in Ankara between the years 1935 and 1947. This article focuses on one of these experts, Carl Ebert (1887–1980), in the context of his work in Ankara between 1936 and 1947. It aims to provide new insights into the institutionalization of opera in Turkey and the cultural life of Turkey during the 1930s and 1940s through the study of an important actor who has so far been neglected. Ultimately, the article highlights the need to expand the source material for a critical evaluation of the established historical narrative of music reform that has been dominant and as well as highly functional and coherent for the political orientation of Turkey since 1950
Data Diplomacy: "Access to Waxes" and the Need for Negotiating Spaces
No full textEditor's note The following contribution originally results from an oral response to the presentations and discussions at the Access to Waxes conference in Berlin in December 2021. It is therefore, especially in comparison to the other articles within this issue, to be understood primarily as a kind of fundamental positioning and has been included here for that very reason. In it, the specific example of the Berlin Phonogramm-Archiv's holdings and their accessibility and digitization is taken as an opportunity to draw particular attention to the connection between technical infrastructures and science diplomacy. At the level of metadata and repositories, it cannot be a matter of constructing new, finally "valid" identities, claiming ownership, etcetera. The point, then, is to enable the negotiation of these issues through access to the sources. The question is who would create and moderate a space for such international negotiations. This could be done, for example, within the framework of the German National Research Data Infrastructure (Nationale Forschungsdateninfrastruktur/NFDI) and in exchange with UNESCO
Prolegomena to the Study of Historical Sound Recordings from Colonial Contexts
No full textWith the invention of the phonograph in 1877, the sound not only became a museum artifact in the European ethnological context, but this invention also offered new opportunities for scholars in their attempt to study the so-called "primitive cultures". In this attempt, European ethnologists claimed that the cultures of these so-called "primitive people" were meant to disappear because of their contact with Europe. Therefore, the main purpose of ethnological museums and sound archives in the early 20th century was to collect as many objects of culture as possible from all over the world, especially from non-European areas. In this logic, the Berlin Phonogramm-Archiv worked together with, for example, ethnologists, linguists, musicologist and colonial officers to acquire as many non-European sound recordings as possible. German colonial officers and many other actors, who were not qualified for ethnomusicological field work, took on the role of ethnologists, collecting objects, making a large number of sound recordings and producing/constructing knowledge on colonized people. This paper attempts to suggest important background information to consider today while dealing with this acoustic heritage issued from German colonial contexts. While suggesting the prolegomena to the study of historical sound recordings from colonial contexts and discussing the principles of the recording practice, the paper contextualizes these recordings as traces of a "colonial ear", which means a constructed acoustic representation of the "other"
