Abstract

The collection of essays presented in “Devotional Cross-Roads: Practicing Love of God in Medieval Gaul, Jerusalem, and Saxony” investigates test case witnesses of Christian devotion and patronage from Late Antiquity to the Late Middle Ages, set in and between the Eastern and Western Mediterranean, as well as Gaul and the regions north of the Alps. Devotional practice and love of God refer to people – mostly from the lay and religious elite –, ideas, copies of texts, images, and material objects, such as relics and reliquaries. The wide geographic borders and time span are used here to illustrate a broad picture composed around questions of worship, identity, religious affiliation and gender. Among the diversity of cases, the studies presented in this volume exemplify recurring themes, which occupied the Christian believer, such as the veneration of the Cross, translation of architecture, pilgrimage and patronage, emergence of iconography and devotional patterns. These essays are representing the research results of the project “Practicing Love of God: Comparing Women’s and Men’s Practice in Medieval Saxony” guided by the art historian Galit Noga-Banai, The Hebrew University of Jerusalem, and the historian Hedwig Röckelein, Georg-August-Universität Göttingen. This project was running from 2013 to 2018 within the Niedersachsen-Israeli Program and financed by the State of Lower Saxony.

Abstract

Although numerous disciplines recognize multiple ways of conceptualizing time, Stefan Tanaka argues that scholars still overwhelmingly operate on chronological and linear Newtonian or classical time that emerged during the Enlightenment. This short, approachable book implores the humanities and humanistic social sciences to actively embrace the richness of different times that are evident in non-modern societies and have become common in several scientific fields throughout the twentieth century. Tanaka first offers a history of chronology by showing how the social structures built on clocks and calendars gained material expression. Tanaka then proposes that we can move away from this chronology by considering how contemporary scientific understandings of time might be adapted to reconceive the present and pasts. This opens up a conversation that allows for the possibility of other ways to know about and re-present pasts. A multiplicity of times will help us broaden the historical horizon by embracing the heterogeneity of our lives and world via rethinking the complex interaction between stability, repetition, and change. This history without chronology also allows for incorporating the affordances of digital media.

Abstract

Frederick Cooper, einer der weltweit wichtigsten Afrika- und Kolonialismushistoriker zur Geschichte der Arbeit in Afrika, reflektiert in diesem Essay Veränderungen und aktuelle Tendenzen im Feld der afrikanischen Arbeitsgeschichte und setzt sich kritisch mit zentralen Konzepten auseinander. Er beschreibt zunächst den Aufstieg der African Labor History in den 1960er und 70er Jahren, die zu dieser Zeit sehr stark der Proletarisierungsthese folgte, also davon ausging, dass in Afrika über kurz oder lang Lohnarbeit dominieren würde. Stattdessen wurden nicht-entlohnte, nicht durch Gesetze regulierte oder durch soziale Regelungen oder Behörden geschützte Tätigkeiten zunehmend sichtbar. Die dafür bald eingeführte Kategorie des "informellen Sektors" mustert Cooper ebenso kritisch wie das derzeit nicht nur im afrikabezogenen Kontext weit verbreitete Konzept der "prekären Arbeit". Den Kern des Essays bildet eine dichte Analyse der wechselvollen Beziehungen zwischen "unfreier" und "freier" Arbeit in Afrika seit dem 18. Jahrhundert, die in einem düsteren Vergleich kulminiert:Im 18. und 19. Jahrhundert wurden Millionen von Afrikanern über den Atlantik zwangsverschifft, um auf Plantagen in den Amerikas zu schuften. Viele starben während der Überfahrt. Heute ergreifen zahlreiche Afrikaner selbst die Initiative und überqueren auf der Suche nach Arbeit das Meer. Und viele lassen dabei ihr Leben. Die Migranten der früheren Jahrhunderte wurden zur Mobilität gezwungen. Die gegenwärtigen Migranten seien in gewisser Weise jedoch die Freiesten des Freien. Sie gingen freiwillig von Afrika nach Europa, unter großen Anstrengungen und mit großem Risiko. Was frühere und heutige Wanderungen gleichwohl verbinde, sei die Ungleichheit globaler ökonomischer Beziehungen. Der Sklavenhandel und die Arbeitsmigration des einundzwanzigsten Jahrhunderts seien beide das Resultat der intensivierten Verbindungen und zugleich wachsenden Disparitäten zwischen verschiedenen Weltteilen.  Recently, there has been renewed interest in the history of African labor. Moreover, this interest comes with a new perspective. A new analysis of the networks, mobilizations, and the development of institutions across categorical boundaries helps explain successful labor movements in the past and the possibilities for the future.
