The Topography of Remembrance deals with different forms of remembrance and collective memory in Mesopotamia, discussing both its public (national) and private (family) aspects. The Introduction offers a history of modern, European memory in comparison with the Mesopotamian mode. The research adds to the recent discussion on collective memory. The Mesopotamians found tools for the construction and passing on of common remembrance in liturgical repetition, in the preservation of buildings and monuments, and in communication channels. To describe these processes the author deals with different texts written between 2300-300 BC, which transport memory from a historical, administrational or religious perspective. According to this study, the need to remember was prompted by the search for identity, a dynamic process in which forgetting played an essential part. The description of this process is also relevant to modern society. It offers an important contribution to the discussion of acculturation and identity.

What happens when the idea of religious progress propels the shaping of modernity? In The Ahmadiyya Quest for Religious Progress. Missionizing Europe 1900 – 1965 Gerdien Jonker offers an account of the mission the Ahmadiyya reform movement undertook in interwar Europe. Nowadays persecuted in the Muslim world, Ahmadis appear here as the vanguard of a modern, rational Islam that met with a considerable interest. Ahmadiyya mission on the European continent attracted European ‘moderns’, among them Jews and Christians, theosophists and agnostics, artists and academics, liberals and Nazis. Each in their own manner, all these people strove towards modernity, and were convinced that Islam helped realizing it. Based on a wide array of sources, this book unravels the multiple layers of entanglement that arose once the missionaries and their quarry met.

18. März 2020 - der Tag, an dem Angela Merkel eine »Vollbremsung« der Gesellschaft forderte, um die Ausbreitung des Coronavirus zu stoppen. An diesem Tag begann Gerdien Jonker ihre Erkundungen durch Berlin: Ihre Beobachtungen erfassen eine Stadt, in der das öffentliche Leben nahezu völlig zum Erliegen gekommen ist. Hundert Tage lang war sie zu Fuß unterwegs, notierte Begegnungen mit Kindern, Joggerinnen und S-Bahnfahrern, besuchte Russen, Muslime und Chinesen, machte Skizzen vom Leben im Lockdown und von Berliner Erfindungsreichtum und Widerborstigkeit. Zwischen Forschung und Literatur entsteht so die Ethnographie einer Stadt im Ausnahmezustand.
