He Whiringa Hīnaki: A Kaupapa Māori ecomusicological framework
No full textThe hīnaki is a weaved net that has been taught intergenerationally among my people who are the Indigenous Māori people belonging to the Whanganui River from Aotearoa, New Zealand. The hīnaki remains a significant tool in food gathering today. The hīnaki is weaved from the inner fibres of the aerial roots from the aka kiekie (vine), alongside akatea or rātā (tree with red timber), and through using karewao (supplejack) (Best 2005; Downes 1917; Haami & Tinirau 2021; Horwood & Wilson 2008; Young 1998). The hīnaki is an important symbol for Whanganui Iwi (Whanganui tribal nation), being featured as a key component of Te Awa Tupua (Whanganui River Claims) Settlement 2017, which formalised the legal personhood of the Whanganui River
Noongar ecomusicology in southwest Australia
No full textThe vitality of eco-centric Noongar language and song traditions Indigenous to Western Australia’s urban-rural southwest region has been continually compromised by environmental and social upheaval since the onset of settler-colonisation in the nineteenth century. The Noongar region is today recognised as an area of globally significant biodiversity under significant threat, and a global drying hotspot. This article considers how revitalising and publicly sharing Noongar expressive culture could destabilise the separation between nature and culture imposed and maintained by settler-colonial systems. It positions Noongar performance revitalisation in the transdisciplinary field of ecomusicologies, considering the potential for Indigenous expressive culture to help move the needle on nature-culture challenges and motivate action on pressing global environmental issues. While many Indigenous communities are engaging in processes of revitalising culture, language and performance across Australia, the ecological and social benefits of revitalised Indigenous performance genres are yet to be fully realised and understood, especially in urban-rural contexts. Given the primary function of Indigenous expressive culture to maintain reciprocal relationships among communities and everything in landscapes, broader public engagement with Indigenous performance could productively enrich perceptions of local environments among all Australians. Still, tensions exist between the resource-intensive demands associated with reaching large audiences through festival productions and the eco-friendly, community-focused motivations for Noongar language and performance revitalisation
Targeted Sanctions im Ukrainekrieg
No full text»Autonomous targeted sanctions« (dt. autonome gezielte Sanktionen) sind seit Jahrzehnten ein kontrovers diskutiertes Mittel der Außenpolitik. Trotz dieser umstrittenen Stellung wurden seit der russischen Invasion in der Ukraine unzählige Sanktionen gegen Russland erlassen. Diese aktuelle und weitreichende Sanktionen-Episode soll in diesem Beitrag völkerrechtlich – insbesondere am Maßstab des Interventionsverbots – bewertet werden

Von Fußballultras und Klimaprotesten: Fallbearbeitung im Strafrecht für Fortgeschrittene
No full textDie vorliegende Fallbearbeitung basiert auf einer Originalhausarbeit, die im Rahmen der Übung für Fortgeschrittene im Strafrecht an der Georg-August-Universität Göttingen im Wintersemester 2023/2024 von Herrn Apl.-Prof. Dr. Rackow gestellt wurde. Sie behandelt schwerpunktmäßig das Themengebiet der Aussagedelikte und die Frage der Rechtmäßigkeit des Blockierens von Straßen durch Klimaaktivist:innen. Darüber hinaus werden die Strafbarkeit der Parole A.C.A.B sowie der Widerstand gegen Vollstreckungsbeamte und die schwere Körperverletzung thematisiert. Insbesondere war bei den Aussagedelikten eine differenzierte Abgrenzung zwischen den einzelnen Tatbeständen und Tathandlungen erforderlich

Connecting through Sunjata’s Story: Ancestors and Inheritances – Conversation with Afua Cooper
No full textThis article presents a conversation between Afua Cooper and Marcia Ostashewski. Cooper is a multidisciplinary artist and scholar, and a celebrated Jamaican-born Canadian historian who specializes in Caribbean studies, women’s studies, history, and Black studies. Cooper became involved in the Sunjata Project in 2019 after witnessing Lassana Diabaté share music and stories about Mande culture and history at a public library in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada. This conversation represented in the curated transcript below was conducted via video call in 2022, in preparation for the community-engaged research-creation project TransAtlantic Pilgrimage: African History, Poetry, and Music, a collaboration involving Cooper, Diabaté and Ostashewski. Cooper discusses how elements of the Sunjata narrative – such as the themes of exile and the overcoming of obstacles and challenges – relate to her own experiences as a dub poet and a woman of African ancestry living in Nova Scotia. Cooper also discusses the power that public performances of the Sunjata Fasa and other aspects of Mande music and culture have in promoting cross-cultural dialogue and exchange
Ten Years of the Sunjata Project in Unama’ki/Cape Breton: Long Term Impacts on Community Engagement, Artistic Production, and Collaborative Research
No full textThis article summarizes the methods and concepts of the Sunjata Project in collaborative, practice-based, community-engaged ethnomusicology, and describes some further collaborative interventions it has nurtured over the subsequent decade. Situating the project within its community and academic contexts, the article reflects on the Sunjata Project within the larger scope of the Singing Storytellers Project and its multifaceted approach of using transformative education and community engagement to raise awareness, develop capacities in, and celebrate cultural diversity in Cape Breton and beyond. This collaborative dynamic facilitated creative processes that produced critically informed work through a variety of media and artistic practices, and encouraged interdisciplinary, socially-engaged arts practices among collaborative teams. These relationships, rooted in practice-based arts-creation, are critical to the longevity and sustainability of the Singing Storytellers, Sunjata Project and other such community-oriented projects dedicated to the sharing of knowledge between diverse communities across the globe through the development of educational programs, events, and varieties of media
Filming The Sunjata Story – Glimpse of a Mande Epic
No full textThis article summarizes the research creation activities as part of Singing Storytellers in 2014, and subsequently the development of knowledge dissemination outputs through deep collaboration with scholars and artists. Over the past decade, the field of research creation has brought together academics and practitioners across institutes of higher education, the arts sector, and the creative industry in Canada and internationally. My work as a documentary filmmaker and sound artist has expanded to a curatorial practice that centers community engagement, in no small part due to the connections with artists and scholars, training opportunities, and mentorship from which I benefited during this project while I was a graduate student. While collaborations between the musicians and scholars involved in Singing Storytellers have thrived since and resulted in multiple initiatives, this article reflects on the initial collaboration that brought a novel approach to the Sunjata epic performance accompanied by poetic translation to the public through multimedia. Here, I reflect on the process of filming, editing, and presenting The Sunjata Story – Glimpse of a Mande Epic drawing on methods from visual anthropology and ethnomusicology. I conclude with a consideration of how acts of reciprocity can create more sustainable relationships between artists and scholars – a practice I now incorporate into my own scholarship today
