Koloniales Erbe in Thüringen
Mehr von Deutscher KunstverlagProduktbeschreibung
Currently, the significance of the colonial past for the present is fuelling public debate more than almost any other topic. Regions far away from the metropolises are coming under increasing scrutiny, since the colonial lines of communication extended as far as the village colonial goods shop. This anthology examines traces of the colonial past at a local level and follows Thuringia's involvement in colonial structures on the global level. The contributions range from the early modern period to the period of transformation from 1990 onwards. The book takes stock of current research initiatives at Thuringian universities and presents the socio-political perspectives of decolonial initiatives and artists. The volume was produced in collaboration with artist Patricia Vester, whose graphic novel and illustrations, designed especially for this publication, provide inspiration for addressing the colonial past in and outside the classroom. Look inside - A highly appealing volume, both graphically and linguistically, with a special topical relevance: scientific research meets sociopolitical perspectives - With German and English texts
