The book investigates and compares the role of artistic and
academic refugees from National Socialism acting as "cultural
mediators" or "agents of knowledge" between their origin and host
societies. By doing so, it locates itself at the intersection of
the recently emerging field of the history of knowledge,
transnational history, migration, exile, as well as cultural
transfer studies. The case studies provided in this volume are of
global scope, focusing on routes of escape and migration to
Iceland, Italy, the Near East, Portugal and Shanghai, and South-,
Central-, and North America. The chapters examine the hybrid ways
refugees envisaged, managed, organized, and subsequently mediated
their migrations. It focuses on how they dealt with their escape in
their art and science. The chapters ask how the emigrants located
themselves––did they associate with ethnic, religious, and/or
cultural affiliations, specific social classes, or specific parts
of society—and how such identifications were portrayed in their
knowledge transfer and cultural translations. Building on such
possible avenues for research, this volume aims to offer a global
analysis of the multifarious processes not only of cultural
translation and knowledge transfer affecting culture, sciences,
networks, but also everyday life in different areas of the world.

This edited volume offers an historical perspective on the creation
of a global mass industry around skiing. By focusing on the ski
resort as loci par excellence for global exchange, the contributors
consider the development of skiing around the world during the
crucial post-war years. With its global lens, Leisure Cultures and
the Making of Modern Ski Resorts highlights both commonalities and
differences between countries. Experts across various fields of
research cover developments across the ski-able world, from Europe,
Asia and America to Australia. Attention to media and material
cultures reveals an insight into global fashions, consumption and
ski cultures, and the impact of mainstream media in the 1960s and
1970s. This global and interdisciplinary approach will appeal to
history, sociology, cultural and media research scholars interested
in a cultural history of skiing, as well as those with more broad
interests in globalization, consumption research, and knowledge
transfer.
The articles of this comprehensive edited volume offer a
multidisciplinary, global and comparative approach to the history
of empires. They analyze their ends over a long spectrum of
humankind's history, ranging from Ancient History through Modern
Times. As the main guiding question, every author of this volume
scrutinizes the reasons for the decline, the erosion, and the
implosion of individual empires. All contributions locate and
highlight different factors that triggered or at least supported
the ending or the implosion of empires. This overall question makes
all the contributions to this volume comparable and allows to
detect similarities, differences as well as inconsistencies of
historical processes.

The term globalization arouses different feelings. Some people
regard it with fear; others consider it the incarnation of a new
time - a time when the relations between different cultures and
parts of the world intensify increasingly. Consequently, the term
is not only used to explain highly diverse phenomena but also to
shed light on the alleged darkness of a world in change. In this
collective volume, scientists from different academic disciplines
and regions of the world wanted to make available their perceptions
of this ample term to a broader audience. Twenty contributions
comprising nine academic disciplines depict the process of the
growing together of the world via different approaches. Apart from
the contributions from historians, the reader will find articles
from the fields of philosophy, architecture, economics, sociology,
political science, journalism, anthropology, and law. This is to
offer the reader a small insight into the variety of research about
globalization and may contribute to a better understanding of this
phenomenon that is treated differently in diverse academic
disciplines and different parts of the world.
Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2008 im Fachbereich Gesch. Europa -
Deutschland - I. Weltkrieg, Weimarer Republik, Note: 1,
Leopold-Franzens-Universitat Innsbruck (Institut fur Geschichte),
Veranstaltung: VU Judische Frauen und Madchen, 5 Quellen im
Literaturverzeichnis, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Gibt es so etwas
wie ein Musterbeispiel fur die typische judische Frau der
Vorkriegszeit? Lassen sich bestimmte Charakteristika feststellen,
anhand derer man grosse Gemeinsamkeiten ausmachen kann? Ist ihre
Position beispielsweise mehr im hauslichen Bereich, als ordentliche
Kindererzieherin und fleissige Mutter zu sehen, oder war sie
grossteils starker im Berufsleben, in Kunst oder auch Kultur tatig?
War ihr Leben starker religionsverbunden, oder legte sie mehr wert
auf weltliche Lebensfuhrung? Diese Arbeit hat das Ziel, die Rolle
der judischen Frau im Deutschland der Vorkriegszeit naher zu
beleuchten. So viel sei vorab schon erwahnt, eine einheitliche
Typisierung ist, wie in so vielen Bereichen des menschlichen
Daseins ganz und gar nicht moglich. So zahlreich, wie diese
ungefahr 300.000 Personen umfassende Gesellschaftsgruppe im
damaligen Deutschland war, so unterschiedlich sind auch die
weiblichen Positionen in deren jeweiligen Familien, sowie ihre
personlichen Einstellungen zu den unterschiedlichsten Fragen des
Lebens. Was allerdings in dieser Arbeit bewerkstelligt werden kann,
ist die Beleuchtung des Lebens einiger Vertreterinnen dieser
Gesellschaftsgruppe anhand verschiedener Biographien. Dadurch
konnen exemplarisch die Positionen einiger ausgewahlter judischer
Frauen innerhalb ihrer Familien aufgezeigt werden. Bei der Auswahl
der Biographien habe ich versucht einen einigermassen breiten
Querschnitt durch die verschiedenen Gesellschaftsschichten zu
bieten, da es mir logisch erscheint, dass die Lebensfuhrung im
Hause eines wohlhabenden judischen Bankiers sicherlich eine andere
war, als die der eher einfacheren judischen Viehhandlerfamilie. Ich
habe meine Arbeit in
