Das Große Sterben. 100 Jahre Erster Weltkrieg – Spurensuche an Kriegs- und Gedenkorten in Belgien
No full textIn August 2014 the one hundredth anniversary of the outbreak of the first world war (1914-1918) takes place. In the summer of 1914 Europe unleashed an incredibly atrocious conflict, fought for the first time globally and with consequences which have been shaping our world up to the present day. However, we as Germans are often not very aware of a fact that might cause irritations amongst our neighbours in Europe: In Germany, the millions of dead soldiers and civilians of the war 1914-18 seem to be almost forgotten. Remembrance here is entirely overshadowed by the second world war. By contrast, the Great War, so called by Belgians, the British and the French until today, is deeply rooted in the collective memories of our (west-)European neighbours and other nations such as Australia, New Zealand or Canada. Therefore, a relevant question is how can we raise awareness for the dimensions of this "great seminal catastrophe of the 20th century" (George F. Kennan) and the traces it has left behind to the present? How can we contribute to a (renewed) deeper comprehension of the first world war as part of our own history? How can we get more active in promoting a common - or at least mutually informed European / transnational - way of remembering and commemorating? Faced with this challenge, the authors have developed a concept for a multi-day field visit seminar on World War I, with a Europeanized and transnational perspective, exemplary through the events and experiences of soldiers and civilians at the former western front in Belgium. This article aims to provide an insight into the practice of historical-political educational work, and provides illustrating information about the seminar which has already been conducted on two occasions in Summer 2014. This includes the concept and programme, target group, learning objectives, teaching methods, incl. references, as well as seminar results, impressions and experiences. (DIPF/author

A Decade of EU Enlargement: A Changing Framework and Patterns of Migration
No full textMigration from Eastern to Western Europe gained greater political prominence and scholarly attention both before and after the 2004 EU enlargement. The EU enlargement process not only contributed to a re-integration of European countries from the former Soviet bloc into the rest of Europe, but also set up a new framework for European mobility. A variety of forecasts and analyses concerning mobility across Europe have since been conducted, sometimes providing contradictory outcomes. This process of eastward enlargement was completed in 2007 by a second round, which brought Romania and Bulgaria into the European polity, and led to unjustified fears of massive flows from the two countries to some Western states in particular, such as the United Kingdom. Academic discussion concerning the different types of mobility in Europe is, however, far from being exhausted. New issues have been raised by the economic crisis which is still sweeping the continent, by the demographic deficit affecting both Eastern and Western Europe, and by the next steps in the EU enlargement wave which will again involve South-Eastern Europe – especially the Western Balkan countries (other than Croatia which finally acceded in 2013). The aim of this special issue is to explore the variety of unprecedented processes in the field of migration which have emerged across Europe over the last decade. The papers in it seek to make sense of these processes, while trying to capture their evolving nature in the framework of a European migration system which has only been in existence for a relatively short time and which still lacks consolidated and harmonised rules
‘Bangladeshis in London and Tower Hamlets: Community Activism and the Local State’
No full textA chapter in J. Duerrschmidt, M. Caselli and J. Eade (2024), Migrants’ (Im)mobilities in European Urban Contexts: Global Pandemic and Beyond, Palgrave Macmillan. The chapter introduces the London borough of Tower Hamlets and its Bangladeshi population before describing the Covid 19 timeline and its differential impact in the UK and on the Bangladeshi residents in Tower Hamlets. The focus then shifts to the role played by Bangladeshi 'Covid Champions', community centres and political activists, the vaccination campaign from late 2020, economic considerations, family dynamics and generation, state regulations and Muslim funerals, middle class residents in the borough before ending with the conclusion.<br/
Wave-Skewness And Current-Related Ebb-Tidal Sediment Transport: Observations And Modeling
No full textA combination of observations and modeling of wave-and current-related sediment transport at the ebb-tidal delta of Ameland, The Netherlands, has been used to examine the dominant sediment transport contributions shaping the ebb-tidal delta. The calibrated model shows a good comparison with the observations for a range of conditions. The results show distinctly different transport modes and directions for current and wave-dominated conditions respectively, with a significant contribution owing to the skewness of the waves emphasizing the importance of wave non-linearity in shaping the ebb-tidal delta.Green Open Access added to TU Delft Institutional Repository ‘You share, we take care!’ – Taverne project https://www.openaccess.nl/en/you-share-we-take-care Otherwise as indicated in the copyright section: the publisher is the copyright holder of this work and the author uses the Dutch legislation to make this work public.Coastal EngineeringEnvironmental Fluid Mechanic
Re-Reading EBB: Trends in Elizabeth Barrett Browning Criticism
No full textThe article focuses on the criticism on the innovations in form, linguistic intricacies, and genre of the works of poet Elizabeth Barrett Browning (EBB) from several critics including Lorna Sage, Angela Leighton, and Helen Cooper. It explores the turning point for the restoration of her work in the late 1970s and her ideological battleground in establishing approaches in the 1980s. It examines the critical studies of EBB's work related to politics, gender, and religion
