Rezension zu: Mojtaba, Masoud u. Milad Sadinam: Unerwünscht. Drei Brüder aus dem Iran erzählen ihre deutsche Geschichte Berlin: Bloomsbury 2012.
Mit ihrem Buch »Unerwünscht« haben drei iranischstämmige Brüder aufhorchen lassen: eine ungewöhnliche Erfolgsgeschichte, die von Flucht, Asyl und einer steilen Bildungskarriere handelt, aber nicht mit Kritik an der Integrationspraxis und dem Bildungssystem spart.
The following paper deals with the volume of studies Stadt-Land-Fluss. Eine kulturwissenschaftliche Deutschlandreise (Ed. Flegel, Silke, Hoffmann, Frank). The book offers a journey through the history and present time of Germany focusing on such national heritage areas as: literature, language, industrial and structural change, environmental protection, federalism, as well as remembering “the past”. The 216-page volume includes twelve essays on German cultural areas and sites of memory: Leipzig, Halle, Munich, Berlin and Frankfurt - as well as regions like the Ruhr and Sachsen-Anhalt. Major streams, such as the Rhine or the Elbe, are also taken into consideration.
The aim of the present paper is to describe the geographic diffusion of the family name Pfaff in Germany, starting from the telephone directory of 2005 and retracing the historic linguistic phenomena that led to the formation of this name. Pfaff (mhd. phaffe, md. paffe, nd. pape, southern German Pfaffe “priest” or “churchman”) is explained both as an agnomen and as the name of a profession. Our map represents an addition to the maps that have already appeared in dtv – Atlas Namenkunde (1999), Duden-Familiennamen (2005) and Deutscher Familiennamenatlas (2011), for it additionally and thoroughly renders not? only the geographic diffusion of the family name Pfaff in Germany but also in Transylvania, where the name also exists. [this surname also exists in Transylvania]. The type Pfaff (5056 telephone addresses) is spread all over Germany, but we notice two areas of high frequency: one, according to our expectations, in the southern part of the Benrath Line and on the right of the Germersheim Line, but also on the left of the latter, especially in the rectangle Koblenz – Kassel – Hof – Frankfurt and also in south-western Germany (in Schwarzwald –The Black Forest). The northern version Pape, approximately twice more frequent than Pfaff(e), did not adapt to standard German, due to the negative connotations of the appellative Pfaffe, Pfaffen, which appeared at the same time as the Church Reform in the 16th century. In some places in Transylvania, the surname Pfaff was replaced with the version Prediger. The appellative Pfaffe and the family name Pfaff (in the Saxon language – the Romanian “limba sãseascã”: faf, pfaf ) contributed to the formation of different rural toponyms in Transylvania. The surname Pfaff is spread not only in the German linguistic space, but also in areas where ethnic Germans live (France, Luxembourg, Belgium, Holland, Poland, Romania, USA, Canada, Argentina). In Romania, there are very few Pfaff surnames in telephone books for the 2008-2009 period, due to the massive migration of the German ethnics to Germany after 1990.
This book, with contributions in both English and French, is a product of collaborative research between the Institut de recherche pour le développement (IRD, France), the University of Ghana, Legon and CODESRIA. It examines various economic, social and environmental challenges of urbanization that critically affect the capital of Ghana, which has experienced high demographic growth and territorial expansion. The study analyses the Greater Accra city dwellers residential practices, and focuses on two main factors influencing land and rental markets. On the one hand, it interrogates the constraints and dynamics of urban families, their needs and gender characteristics in terms of accommodation. On the other hand, it explores the opportunities and interests in investment on the part of land owners and real estate developers. At these two levels of describing the social and spatial discriminations, the book attempts to explain the difficult choices that this fragmented city faces. It emphasizes the role of mobility in structuring the metropolitan area, and the negative impact of lack of mobility which results in some households and communities suffering more than others. Light is thrown on diagnostics and prospects in the matter of urban planning.
Combining quantitative and qualitative methods, and interrelated perspectives (law, economics, politics, geography, etc.), it confirms some knowledge but shows a differentiation of the systems of exclusion of women in the access and control of land resources, systems that appear to be related to socio-cultural realities specific to each agro-ecological zones of Senegal.
From an exploration of the cooperative movement's various international iterations to a perspicacious survey of the history of cooperatives in Tanzania, Dr. Lyimo highlights the issues facing farmers and business people and illustrates the way in which cooperative effort- enterprises that put people, and not capital, at the center of their business- can not only improve members' economic power in bargaining for better marketing conditions and prices, but also to increase employment opportunities, thereby improving the standard of living for a large number of people.
Der Dichter Ahmet Haşim litt an einer schweren Krankheit und begab zwecks Behandlung in verschiedene Länder. Zuletzt fuhr er im Jahre 1932 mit dem Zug nach Frankfurt am Main. Auf dem Weg nach Deutschland und in Frankfurt verfasste er Reiseberichte, in denen er die Länder und Städte, die er besuchte, und die Menschen, denen er begegnete, beschrieb. Seine Berichte wurden nach seiner Rückreise erst in einer türkischen Zeitung und später in einem Sammelband veröffentlicht. An seinen Reiseberichten sind insbesondere kulturelle, soziale und politische Beobachtungen wichtig (hier sei übrigens erwähnt, dass es sich um die Zeit kurz vor der Machtergreifung Hitlers handelt). Ahmet Haşim beschreibt in seinen Reiseberichten sowohl seine negativen als auch seine positiven Erfahrungen und Eindrücke. Diese Reiseberichte spiegeln deshalb auch das Deutschlandbild von Ahmet Haşim wieder und sind daher sehr bedeutend. Ahmet Haşims realistische Beschreibung und seine Prognosen erregten seinerzeit in der Türkei großes Aufsehen, wurde allerdings erst nach etwa 75 Jahren von Beatrix Caner ins Deutsche übersetzt.
I first encountered the work of Miriam Hansen as a graduate student in the mid-1990s when her book Babel and Babylon was the talk of the (at that time still fairly modest) film studies town – even though it was sitting somewhat uneasily on the fence. In fact, it was this position beyond the canonical that made the book so attractive in the first place. It did not fit into the raging debate of that time between psychosemiotics and neo-formalism, nor did it offer the (often too schematic and naive) way out within the cultural studies paradigm of empowering the individual or sub-culturally constituted groups.
