Berlin in der Revolution 1918/19. Fotografie, Film, Unterhaltungskultur
Das Symposium folgt der Idee der Interdisziplinarität, wie sie auch in der Ausstellung und dem begleitenden Katalogbuch zum Konzept gemacht worden ist. Neben dem medialen Aspekt der Revolution, wie er durch die Fotografien von Willy Römer, den Gebrüdern Haeckel und anderen Fotografen vorgestellt wird, geht es um den Film und die Unterhaltungskultur als zwei weiteren Bereichen, die in den Revolutionstagen ungebrochen zum Berliner Leben dazugehörten.
CfP: (Re)thinking Socialism. Knowledge, memory and oblivion of the socialist past
Thirty years after the end of state socialism, the need to fully comprehend it is still an immediate task. Over the past three decades, the dominant public discourse of the previous historical period has undergone significant changes: from a firm rejection in the first years of the transition to the latest wave of rehabilitation of the regime and nostalgia (socialist nostalgia, Ostalgie, Yugo/Tito-nostalgia). To varying degrees, post-socialist societies in Central, Eastern and Southeastern Europe are still divided in their attitudes to the recent past.
Arbeiterbewegung und soziale Frage heute. Tagung zur Erinnerung an Helga Grebing (1930-2017)
Die Geschichte der Arbeiterbewegung (männlich, Singular) ist aus der Mode gekommen. Zu diesem Eindruck muss man gelangen, wenn man sich die Hochkonjunktur ins Gedächtnis ruft und in der Gegenwart nach ihrer fortdauernden Relevanz sucht.

Labour, Unions and Politics under the North Star: The Nordic Countries, 1700-2000
Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway, and Sweden today all enjoy a reputation for strong labour movements, which in turn are widely seen as part of a distinctive regional approach to politics, collective bargaining and welfare. But as this volume demonstrates, narratives of the so-called “Nordic model” can obscure the fact that experiences of work and the fortunes of organized labour have varied widely throughout the region and across different historical periods.
