No full textAusgehend von Überlegungen zum ›Gefühlswissen des Historischen‹ (Tschofen) in Verflechtung mit ›digitalen Kuratierpraktiken‹ beleuchtet der Beitrag anhand ethnografischer Beispiele, wie sich Besucher*innen des ›Holocaust Denkmals‹ in Berlin durch digitale Medien zur Geschichte des Holocaust in Beziehung setzen.By considering the ›emotional knowledge of the historical‹ (Tschofen) in its relationship to ›practices of digital curation‹, the article uses ethnographic examples to illuminate how visitors to the ›Holocaust Memorial‹ in Berlin relate to the history of the Holocaust through digital media
PA_2 Statistics, medicine and fashion magazines: On the influence of heterogeneous knowledge configurations on journalistic images of society in the 19th century
No full textDie soziographische Skizze, wie sie sich in den 1830er Jahren als journalistisch-literarisches Genre konsolidierte, führte als heterogene Textform künstlerische und wissenschaftliche Elemente in marktgerechter Kurzweiligkeit zusammen. Dieser Beitrag behandelt verschiedene mediale/epistemische Regimes oder Wissenskonfigurationen, welche die Entwicklung der soziographischen Skizze als ein Medium gesellschaftlicher Selbstbeobachtung beeinflusst haben. Dabei entwirft er transmediale und -disziplinäre Perspektiven auf die Institutionalisierung der Kultur- und Sozialforschung im neunzehnten Jahrhundert.The sociographic sketch, which solidified as a journalistic genre in the 1830s, is a highly heterogeneous text form. It brought together artistic and scientific elements in an entertaining and market-driven way. This contribution deals with various media/epistemic regimes or configurations of knowledge that have influenced the evolution of the sociographic sketch as a medium of social self-observation. In doing so, it develops cross-genre and cross-disciplinary perspectives on the refinement of social research in the nineteenth century
PC_2 Crypto Parties and the creation of anonymity and privacy Kurztitel: Crypto Parties, anonymity and privacy
No full textIn diesem Beitrag untersuche ich sogenannte ›Crypto Partys‹ als eine spezifische Form von ›citizen engagement‹ im Zusammenhang mit digitaler Überwachung und dem Schutz der Privatsphäre. Auf Grundlage einer explorativen ethnographischen Forschung argumentiere ich, dass Crypto Partys zwar ihrem eigenen Anspruch, egalitäre Räume des Lernens und Lehrens zu schaffen, nicht immer gerecht werden, dass jedoch das Entstehen von Hierarchien innerhalb dieser Praktiken kritisch reflektiert wird. Die politische Signifikanz von Crypto Partys liegt nicht in dem Bezugspunkt zu staatlichen Aktivitäten, sondern im ›diffusen‹ Transfer von Wissen über Anonymität und digitale Sicherheitspraktiken. Dieser Beitrag ist damit ein erster Schritt in Richtung eines besseren Verständnisses von Crypto Partys als kulturelle und politische Praxis zur Herstellung von Wissen über Anonymität.In this contribution, I am taking a look at a distinct practice of public engagement, namely Crypto Parties. I investigate how anonymity practices are transferred from ›experts‹ to ›laypeople‹. Crypto Parties are politically significant practices, in which knowledge about anonymity is spread and circulated among different groups. The political significance of these practices does not lie in its direct impact on for example state policies, but in the way in which it is able to create dispersed anonymity practices and alter everyday behaviour and knowledge about data security and privacy practices. The empirical study on Crypto Parties is just a first step in helping us to understand this cultural and political practice as a practice of generating knowledge about anonymity
Unemployment and Social Disorder during the British Colonial Period in Eritrea (1941–1951)
Get PDFThis article investigates the connection between unemployment and social disorder that characterized British colonial rule in Eritrea between 1941 and 1951. Using the archives of labour of the British period, this article documents the causes of social disorder that galvanized the British period in Eritrea. Based on archival documents, the article argues that the public insecurity and social disorder of the British period were largely related to socio-economic conditions resulting in mass unemployment caused by (1) the dissolution of the colonial army institution; (2) the destruction of the manufacturing industries; (3) the importation of labour from neighbouring British colonies. Upon the defeat ofItaly by the British in Eritrea during WWII, the British system had a clearly diminished appetite for colonialism and abandoned any agenda of capitalist expansion, inflicting massive redundancies on the labour force. This produced new social groups such as migrant workers, brigands, and vagabonds. Based on these archival documents, an alternative explanation is introduced pinpointing far more accurately the sources of public insecurity and social disorder during the British colonial period between 1941 and 1951
The Semantics of Locative Adpositions in Amharic
Get PDFThis paper intends to describe the semantics of locative adpositions in Amharic, a Semitic language spoken in Ethiopia. The analysis is based on elicited data that were collected by using Bowerman and Pederson’s (1992) topological relations picture series. The study shows that Amharic locative adpositions can convey specific and generic topological relations between the figure and ground entities. The specific locatives show a specific type of topological relations (for instance, verticality as in tatʃtʃ, below’, ‘under’; horizontality as in fit, ‘front’; containment as in wɨst’, ‘in’) between the figure and ground entities, but not the generic locatives. Aside from which, I argue that Amharic does not fit into Ameka and Levinson’s (2007) typology of locative predicates and constitutes a type of its own because it uses two copulas and a locative verb

Corporealities to the limit : The female body as border territory from artistic practice as research
Get PDFI propose a theoretical-practical approach to the presentation and representation of the female body in artistic creation. That is, the use of the body as a space at the limit, liminal, of danger and transgression, with the consequent potentially re-signifying effects of territory and common space through art. This narration is accompanied by the dissection of the creative process in phases and its final product, where I start from my own body, as testimony, meeting place, object and subject, studying its relationship with the context in an act of defiance to patriarchal authority. In this sense, we could relate it to the de-hierarchisation and proximity to others, in an unregulated but vital encounter of desiring, non-docile subjectivities, which eroticize politics with their irruption into the public sphere, with the intention of living, creating, loving, inventing another society, another perception of the world and other value systems
Corporeidades al límite: El cuerpo femenino como territorio fronterizo desde la práctica artística como investigación
Get PDFPlanteo una aproximación teórico-práctica de la presentación y representación del cuerpo femenino en la creación artística. Esto es, la utilización del cuerpo como espacio al límite, liminal, de peligro y transgresión, con los consecuentes efectos potencialmente resignificadores del territorio y del espacio común a través del arte. Esta narración va acompañada de la disección del proceso creativo en fases y su producto final, donde parto de mi propio cuerpo, como testimonio, lugar de encuentro, objeto y sujeto, estudiando su relación con el contexto en un acto de desafío a la autoridad patriarcal. En ese sentido, podríamos relacionarlo con la desjerarquización y la proximidad hacia los otros, en un en-cuentro no reglamentado pero vital de subjetividades deseantes, no dóciles, que erotizan la política con su irrupción en lo público, con la intención de vivir, crear, amar, inventar otra sociedad, otra percep-ción del mundo y otros sistemas de valores
