Friedrich II.: "Aufgeklärter Absolutismus"
Get PDFFrederick II: “Enlightened Absolutism“ This paper is about the governance of the Prussian king Frederick II. It will examine how far Frederick’s governance was influenced by the philosophy of Enlightenment. As will be shown, Frederick ruled rather as a strategic monarch than as a philosopher of Enlightenment. His governance followed some of the ideas of Enlightenment only to consolidate his sovereignity. Thus Frederick’s governance cannot be called “enlightened” per se
Die sozioökonomischen Auswirkungen nationalsozialistischer Arbeitseinsatz- und Frauenpolitik in Tirol
Get PDFAbstract Social and economic impacts of Nazi women’s labor policy in Tyrol The ambivalence of Nazi ideology between denigration of women as second class citizens and propagandist idealization as a mothers and housewives allows for a variety of subjective and objectified patterns of interpretation in connection with the targeted embedding of women in the labor and employment process. The importance of women and their opportunities in society in terms of theoretical versus practical classification in the reproductive and employment process allows conflicting interpretations. Women were subject to the constraint to production and reproduction, but some of them could also find self-realization and new freedoms in the working duty. The background of this ambivalence and their theoretical, economic and social impacts will be studied in the present work
Der Darfurkonflikt: Arabische und Afrikanische Identitäten
Get PDFViolent disputes and wars are often explained by tensions based on ethnic or racial grounds. A prominent example is Darfur. Many believe that the origins of the conflict lie in the difference between Arabs and Africans. This paper argues that African and Arab identities have been formed and fostered in the course of the conflict by individual potentates and politically motivated interest groups. Although the African Union was established on the ideas of panafricanism it has failed to alleviate the division between Africans and Arabs
Die Rolle Großbritanniens bei der Entstehung des Religionskonflikts in Südasien und der Teilung Britisch-Indiens
Get PDFThe seminar-paper deals with the construction of the religious conflict in former British-India as one of the consequences of the implementation of population census by the colonial power of Great Britain. It examines how this cleavage through the society – also known as communalism – developed and deepened since its beginning until the independence of British-India and its division in Pakistan and India in 1948 as well as its aftermath for the local population. The crucial role of the colonial rule of Great Britain will be regarded in the context of the whole development
Hegemony and Slavery The Spartacus Uprising between social control and strategies of liberation
Get PDFThis seminar-paper deals with slavery in the late-republican Roman Empire, in particular during the Spartacus uprising from 71 to 73 BC. It questiones how slavery as a social system could work and which mechanisms and strategies were necessary to establish this institution. To illuminate this case, the paper analyses consenting, regulative and repressing arrangements between the slaves and slave-holders. Furthermore it shows, related to the partly successful Spartacus uprising, the difficulties for the slaves to overcome the different mechanisms of hegemony

Pflanzen, die die Welt veränderten: Muskatnuss und Gewürznelke
Get PDFSeit dem späten Mittelalter waren die beiden Gewürze Muskatnuss und Gewürznelke in Europa besonders begehrt und extrem wertvoll, vor allem aus dem Grund, da ihnen wundersame Heilkräfte nachgesagt wurden. Wegen der Aussicht auf hohen Gewinn versuchten gleich mehrere Handelsorganisationen aus Portugal, Spanien, England und Holland einen Seeweg nach Indien zu den Molukken, den sog. Gewürzinseln, zu finden, um die beiden Gewürze in großem Stil zu importieren. Im Verlauf des 17. Jh. baute vor allem die niederländische Ostindien-Kompanie ein gut geschütztes und organisiertes Handelsimperium auf, das auch das Monopol auf Muskatnüsse und Gewürznelken beinhaltete

The goal is to show how enemy stereotypes are constructed and influence the US-Immigration and Drug Policies.
