No full textSelten wird das Sammeln von Grafik in Bibliotheken genauer betrachtet, obwohl dies noch im 19. Jahrhundert intensiv gepflegt wurde, gerade in der aktiven bürgerlichen Kultur Hamburgs. Einmal mehr zeigt sich, dass Handel und Kunstsinn durchaus in der Hansestadt zusammengingen. Die Beschäftigung mit den Kupferstichen der Staats- und Universitätsbibliothek Hamburg hat vielfältige Spuren zutage gefördert, die auf die Provenienzen der ursprünglichen Besitzer und auf den bibliothekarischen Umgang mit ihnen hindeuten. Sie wurden von einer Gruppe Studierender der Kunstgeschichte eingehend und mit engagierter Recherchearbeit untersucht und in diesem Buch wissenschaftlich fundiert mit neuen Perspektiven dargelegt. Neben der verzweigten Sammlungsgeschichte möchte das Buch auch auf die Werke selbst aufmerksam machen, die nun digital erfasst und damit zugänglich sind. Die Publikation vereint sowohl historisch-kritische Bibliotheks- und Sammlungsgeschichte als auch die Auseinandersetzung mit modernen Instrumenten ihrer Verfügbarmachung.Rarely is the collecting of prints in libraries looked at more closely, although this was still intensively cultivated in the 19th century, especially in Hamburg\u27s active bourgeois culture. Once again, it becomes apparent that trade and artistic sensibility certainly went hand in hand in the Hanseatic city. Studying the copperplate engravings in the Hamburg State and University Library has brought to light a variety of traces that point to the provenances of the original owners and to the way the library dealt with them. They have been examined in detail and with dedicated research work by a group of art history students and presented in this book in a scientifically sound manner with new perspectives. In addition to the ramified history of the collection, the book also aims to draw attention to the works themselves, which are now digitally recorded and thus accessible. The publication combines both historical-critical library and collection history as well as an examination of modern instruments for making them available
Interaction between wind energy, climate vulnerability, and violent conflict in Northern Kenya
Get PDFWind energy is a key technology in efforts to decarbonize the global energy system. Generally, the exploitation of wind resources is seen as a silver bullet in the fight against climate change. Negative effects and conflict implications of wind energy projects are often dismissed as negligible. The paper aims at challenging this belief by analyzing the implications of wind energy for local communities in northern Kenya. Specifically, the paper explores how the recently completed wind park in Marsabit County affects the vulnerability of the local population to climate change and how the project influences existing and new conflict dynamics. The paper first reviews the state of knowledge on renewable energy projects in developing countries and particularly on the African continent. Second, the main results of the field research conducted between 2016 and 2018 are presented and discussed in order to draw conclusions and give policy recommendations in the final part of the paper.Wind energy is a key technology in efforts to decarbonize the global energy system.

Drought, flight, conflict: “climate migration” as a driver for conflict?
Get PDFSo-called “climate migration”, i. e. human mobility following prolonged drought periods, floods, or other climate-related environmental changes, has been singled out as an important factor connecting climate change effects and (violent) conflict. However, the existing studies on this relationship do not offer a clear picture. Nevertheless, Syria has evolved into a “show case study” for this assumed linear causality: A “century drought” and ensuing internal migration are seen as an untold prequel of the Syrian uprising. This alarmist, determinist, and simplifying image is questioned and reviewed in order to answer the following questions: Was the Syrian drought related to or caused by climate change? Which role, if any, did it play for internal migration in pre-revolutionary Syria? What do we know about “drought migrants” and their role in the Syrian uprising? The article summarizes available research and adds to it by way of interviews with Syrian refugees.So-called “climate migration”, i. e. human mobility following prolonged drought periods, floods, or other climate-related environmental changes, has been singled out as an important factor connecting climate change effects and (violent) conflict.

About the authors
Get PDFResearch on security-related aspects of climate change is an important element of climate change impact assessments. Hamburg has become a globally recognized center of pertinent analysis of the climate-conflict-nexus. The essays in this collection present a sample of the research conducted from 2009 to 2018 within an interdisciplinary cooperation of experts from Universität Hamburg and other institutions in Hamburg related to the research group “Climate Change and Security” (CLISEC). This collection of critical assessments covers a broad understanding of security, ranging from the question of climate change as a cause of violent conflict to conditions of human security in the Anthropocene. The in-depth analyses utilize a wide array of methodological approaches, from agent-based modeling to discourse analysis
Agrofuel expansion and black resistance in Brazil
Get PDFIn recent years, energy crops have become one of the most important strategies towards a sustainable economy in order to avoid the use of fossil fuels. In a way, Brazil can be seen as a pioneer since already during the oil crisis of the 1970s sugarcane ethanol was promoted there through extensive state programs. The associated expansion of sugarcane and other energy crops, though, is largely driven by large-scale agro-industrial enterprises, with the result that indigenous groups and quilombos are increasingly displaced. Understanding landscape as a materialization of power relations, we analyze socioeconomic dynamics in the municipality of Pompéu in the Brazilian state of Minas Gerais as case study region. Doing so, we show that landscapes in general and energy landscapes more specifically represent the arena of socio-political negotiation on development pathways and models in their specific regional and historical context. Unequal power relations result in practical, symbolic, and discursive dominance of the most powerful land use, economic logic, and social life by delegitimizing, marginalizing, and disregarding alternative ideas. These processes are embedded in postcolonial entanglements and constitute (energy) landscapes within a globalizing world.In recent years, energy crops have become one of the most important strategies towards a sustainable economy in order to avoid the use of fossil fuels.

No full textDie Kanzlei wurde als oberste Justiz- und Verwaltungsbehörde für den königlichen Anteil von Schleswig und Holstein 1648 in Flensburg errichtet und 1649 nach Glückstadt verlegt. Ihre Zuständigkeit war seit 1713 auf Holstein beschränkt und wurde 1734 auf die Grafschaft Rantzau, 1762 auf die plönischen und 1774 auf die gottorfischen Lande ausgedehnt. Zugleich ersetzte man die Bezeichnung "Glückstädtische Regierung" durch "Holsteinische Landesregierung zu Glückstadt und Holsteinisches Oberkonsistorium". Die vorher formell unterschiedlichen besonderen Gerichte - Justizkanzlei, Oberamtsgericht, Pinnebergisches-, Altonaisches-, Rantzauisches Oberappellationsgericht - wurden 1806 als "Holsteinisches Obergericht" zusammengefasst. Seit 1816 hieß es "Holstein-Lauenburgisches Obergericht". Als 1834 in der mittleren Instanz Justiz und Verwaltung getrennt wurden, ging die Verwaltung an die Schleswig-Holsteinische Regierung auf Gottorf über; das Obergericht bestand als reine Justizbehörde fort.
Bei der Trennung von Justiz und Verwaltung im Jahr 1834 wurden die Akten geteilt. Die in Glückstadt verbliebenen Justizakten sind später größtenteils vernichtet worden, die Verwaltungsakten blieben erhalten und bilden den Kern des im Landesarchiv Schleswig-Holstein verwahrten Bestandes

Critical evaluation of the implementation of the concept of environmental security
Get PDFThis paper analyzes the theoretical and empirical conceptual approaches to the link between environment and security in order to test their ability to function as guiding concepts in the multiple and complex challenges posed by the Anthropocene. For this purpose, the Critical Environmental Security Studies (CESS) are proposed and further developed in order to bridge the theory-practice gap and inform the literature on the conceptual approach carried out by the Environment and Security Initiative (ENVSEC).The empirical research that attempts to pinpoint and evaluate the dominant conceptual use of environmental security in reference to geopolitics, status quo maintenance, and normative change relies on document analyses of the period from 2001 to 2014 and semi-structured interviews with decision-makers of ENVSEC.This paper analyzes the theoretical and empirical conceptual approaches to the link between environment and security in order to test their ability to function as guiding concepts in the multiple and complex challenges posed by the Anthropocene.

Die Minoischen Villen Kretas
Get PDFDie Minoischen Paläste und Villen Kretas vermitteln oftmals den Eindruck einer spätbronzezeitlichen Kultur, welche von elitären Gesellschaftssystemen und mysteriösen Kulten geprägt war. Dabei schildern die mittlerweile zahlreichen bekannten spätbronzezeitlichen Siedlungsplätze und deren vielfältige Funde in verschiedenen Regionen Kretas variantenreiche Siedlungsentwicklungen.
Das vorliegende Werk legt einen umfassenden Überblick über Fundmaterialien, Baubefunde und Lagebedingungen von 23 Minoischen Villen Kretas vor. Hierbei wird die Analyse durch einen Einbezug der geographischen Verhältnisse der Umgebung und durch einen Vergleich mit weiteren spätbronzezeitlichen Fund- und Siedlungsplätzen Kretas entscheidend erweitert. Auf diesem Wege bietet die Untersuchung Perspektiven etablierte Interpretationen über die spätbronzezeitlichen Siedlungsverhältnisse Kretas zu hinterfragen.The Minoan palaces and villas often give the impression of a late bronze age culture which was characterized by elitist societies and mysterious cults. The numerous known Bronze Age settlement sites and their rich finds in different regions of Crete illustrate varying settlement developments.
This study presents a comprehensive overview of found materials, building features and site conditions of 23 Minoan villas in Crete. The analysis is decisively extended by including the geographical conditions of the surroundings and by comparing the Minoan villas with other late bronze age find and settlement sites in Crete. The investigation offers perspectives to review established interpretations of late bronze age settlement conditions of Minoan Crete
