Delen van het verleden: Erfgoed en educatie in de 21ste eeuw
No full textDelen van het verleden. Erfgoed en educatie in de 21ste eeuw is de oratie die Hester Dibbits uitsprak bij de aanvaarding van het ambt van bijzonder hoogleraar Historische Cultuur en Educatie aan het Centrum voor Historische Cultuur (ESHCC) van de Erasmus Universiteit Rotterdam. Dibbits pleit voor onderzoek naar de uiteenlopende, vaak impliciete agenda’s, visies, missies en emoties die ten grondslag liggen aan educatieve erfgoedprogramma’s. Het doel daarvan is om meer inzicht te krijgen in de dynamiek in de hedendaagse erfgoedwereld en in processen van erfgoedvorming

FTAA: What's in It for the South?
No full textNot everyone in the Americas thinks that negotiating an FTAA is desirable. Some argue that the timing of the negotiations is being set by the agenda of the developed countries, particularly the US, and not that of the rest of the region. Others say that negotiating tariff reductions will do little to increase exports. The argument is that non-tariff barriers to trade must be part of the package, or the whole idea is a waste of time. These are just some of the opinions coming from the South. Interestingly, a number of these ideas are coming from Brazil, the hemisphere's most populous country after the US, and clearly a leader in the region. Presidential elections in Brazil took place in the fall of 2002 just prior to an FTAA Ministerial in Quito. In the lead up to the election, the FTAA positions of the opposition candidates, including the eventual winner, were much more protectionist than that of the outgoing government. If the protectionism carries through to official government policy, then the FTAA process will be much more difficult. However, this might just have been electoral talk. This paper will attempt to sort out truth from rhetoric.Brazil, non-tariff barriers, FTAA, South, International Relations/Trade,

\u27In Turkije gaat het tegenwoordig net zo.\u27 De culturele repertoires van een Turks gezin in een multi-etnische wijk
No full textCultural Repertoires of a Turkish Family in a Multiethnic Neighborhood.
This article deals with the relation between processes of ethnicization and integration, based on an analysis of the cultural repertoires of one Turkish family visited by the author weekly for about 18 months. Living in a multiethnic neighborhood, the different members of the family show a strong Turkish ethnic consciousness with regard to language use, social network, TV viewing, food preferences, the celebration of calendar feasts, and religious orientation. However, their ethnic identity cannot be regarded as static; it is constantly redefined by discussions with family and friends. In this process, Turkish TV plays an important role in presenting images of modern Turkey. In daily life, sharp distinctions are made between different situational contexts; conventions in ways of behavior differ according to the situation and are adapted, which allows for a selective appropriation of "new" rituals, eg, celebration of birthdays. Differences between the cultural repertoires of Turkish people in Germany and those in Utrecht are discussed, identifying the need for more systematic research into the role of the local context in processes of ethnicization and integration. The impact of the presence of a large Moroccan minority in the Netherlands is assessed. It is suggested that the attitude of Dutch people toward various aspects of Turkish culture should be taken into account when analyzing processes of ethnicization and integration. Daily life in a multiethnic neighborhood strengthens ethnic consciousness and the idea of being "different," a process that may be accompanied by a quest for new symbols of distinction if old ones have become too common. 28 References.
