Wenn in Deutschland über Roma diskutiert wird, werden sie meist mit Verschmutzung, Arbeitslosigkeit und Sozialschmarotzertum in Verbindung gebracht. Auffällig dabei: Die Roma selbst kommen fast nie zu Wort. Anders in einem neuen Film, der am Sonntag in Frankfurt Premiere feiert – er gibt Frankfurter Roma eine vernehmbare Stimme.
Eine gute Biografie sollte ein Schlüssel sein zu einer Zeit, ihren Strukturen und Charakteristika. Die Doppelbiografie der Brüder von Eichthal aus der Feder von Hervé Le Bret erfüllt diese Forderung in besonderer Weise. Denn die mannigfachen Tätigkeits- und Interessengebiete der beiden ungleichen und doch innig verbundenen Brüder geben Einblick in weite Bereiche des europäischen Geistes- und Wirtschaftsleben des 19. Jahrhunderts. In der Verflechtung der beiden Biografien ergibt sich so ganz von selbst eine enge Verbindung von internationaler Banken- und Kulturgeschichte. ...
For faunistic research on a certain animal group, knowledge of the situation in surrounding countries is a necessity. The presence of certain species in neighbouring regions, together with notes on their distribution and trends, offers valuable information for the interpretation of the status of these species in one’s own study area. Changes in the national fauna – e.g. the discovery of a new species – can often better be explained when integrating information on the status of species in nearby countries. Distribution atlases are therefore not only valuable publications for the country of concern, but also for other countries in the same region.
With Architecture Since 1400 another volume has been added to the list of authoritative surveys of architectural history published in recent years. With 30 bit-like chapters and some 300 illustrations, this book is an ambitious attempt to write a global history of architecture that focuses on the arrival of modernity. The central idea of this survey is the shift away from the Weberian approach that views modernization as emanating from the West. Instead, in this book modern architecture is rewritten according to a global approach that allows for multiple perspectives in a multipolar world. This decentring approach is also pivotal for other parts of the book. For example, there is the much-needed effort to include women in the canon. In addition, the author exchanges a stylistic history for a social history and combines this with a narrative that maps the agents of the built environment, thus complementing the narrative of the genius-architect with that of the role played by clients, patrons and critics. In this way, Lina Bo Bardi or Zaha Hadid not only take their place next to Le Corbusier or Brunelleschi, but in addition Eleanor of Toledo is mentioned as an influential sixteenth-century ruler next to her husband Cosimo I, and Hardwick Hall in England is now considered the outcome of the cooperation between the architect Robert Smythson and the landowner Bess of Hardwick.
