The recent ethnic violence in Kenya has been preceded by a process of territorialization and politicization of ethnicity. This study examines a marginalized part of Kenya, the semi-arid north inhabited by pastoralists of three language groups - speakers of Oromo, Somali, and Rendille. It spans different periods of time, from early processes of ethnic differentiation between groups, through the colonial period when differences were reflected in administrative policies, to recent times, when global minority discourses, particularly those related to Islam, are tapped by local political agents and ethnic entrepreneurs. A companion volume to Pastoralism and Politics in Northern Kenya and Southern Ethiopia, this book is based on over thirty-four years of field research and synthesizes findings from history and political anthropology. Günther Schlee is director of the Department of 'Integration and Conflict', Max Planck Institute for Social Anthropology, Halle, Germany; Abdullahi Shongolo is an independent scholar based in Kenya.

This study is about conflict prevention, hope and peace for the oppressed and alienated, and the imaginative use of soft-power to win back estranged communities into the social and political mainstream. Past strategies in managing alienated societies have been derived from two extreme ideological positions - imprisoning those who take up arms against the stage, or ultra-liberalism, which is denounced as impractical. The author suggests an alternative strategy to reconcile these two extreme positions.

Im 18. Jahrhundert kam es in zahlreichen Reichsstädten zu einer Welle von teils spektakulären und mitunter gewalttätigen Verfassungskonflikten, die oftmals vor dem Wiener Reichshofrat verhandelt und friedlich geschlichtet wurden. Den zeitlichen Schwerpunkt der Untersuchung bildet die Regierungszeit Karls VI. (1711-1740), den räumlichen die süddeutschen Reichsstädte, vor allem Augsburg und Nürnberg. Der Autor kann aufzeigen, wie die reichsstädtischen Reichshofratsprozesse zu frühneuzeitlichen Medienereignissen wurden. Er untersucht dazu die Kommunikationskanäle, die eingesetzten Medien und die personellen Verflechtungen zwischen Reich und Region. Die Medienstrategien der Prozessparteien werden ebenso analysiert wie die mediale Selbstinszenierung der kaiserlichen Gerichtsbarkeit. Seine Untersuchung der zeitgenössischen Publizistik macht deutlich, dass das frühe 18. Jahrhundert eine Phase des Medienwandels hin zu einem verstärkten Gebrauch der Druckmedien war.

For the last decade, early modern studies have significantly been reshaped by raising new and different questions on the uses of religion. This 'religious turn' has generated new discussion of the social processes at work in early modern Europe and their cultural effects - from the struggle over religious rites and doctrines to the persecution of secret adherents to forbidden practices. The issue of religious pluralisation has been mostly debated in terms of dissent and escalation. But confessional controversy did not always erupt into hostilities over how to symbolize and perform the sacred nor lead to a paralysis of social agency. The order of the day may often have been to suspend confessional allegiances rather than enforce religious conflict, suggesting a pragmatic rather than polemic handling of religious plurality. This raises the urgent question of how 'normal' transconfessional and even transreligious interaction was produced in a context of highly sharpened and always present reflexivity on religious differences. Our volume takes up this question and explores it from an interdisciplinary and interconfessional perspective. The title "Forgetting Faith?" raises the question whether it was necessary or indeed possible to sidestep religious issues in specific contexts and for specific purposes. This does not mean, however, to describe early modern culture as a process of secularization. Rather, the collection invites discussion of the specific ways available to deal with confessional conflict in an oblivional mode, precisely because faith still mattered more than many other social paradigms emerging at that time, such as nationhood, ethnic origin or class defined through property.
