02.09.2019-15.09.2019, Deutscher Akademischer Austauschdienst; Staatliche Pädagogische Universität Jaroslawl’; Universität Bielefeld, Fakultät für Geschichtswissenschaft, Philosophie und Theologie, Abteilung Geschichtswissenschaft, Arbeitsbereich "Osteuropäische Geschichte"; Kulturdepartment Jaroslawl’
In der modernen Welt wird die Rolle der Geschichtswissenschaft bei der Gestaltung und Verbreitung aktueller Vergangenheitsinterpretationen radikal transformiert. Die Abkühlung internationaler Beziehungen, die als ein “neuer Kalter Krieg” definiert wird, provozierte eine scharfe Nationalisierung historischer Narrative, einen Aufschwung von politischem Populismus und einen Zuwachs von rechtsradikalen Stimmungen und Bewegungen in den Staaten Mittel- und Osteuropas. Im Unterschied zu den westlichen Ländern wurde in Russland staatliche Geschichtspolitik und nicht die public history zu einem entscheidenden Faktor für die Strukturierung der Vergangenheitsbilder. Bei der Durchsetzung der staatlichen Mobilisierungs- und Aufklärungsaktionen (so wie z.B. “Russland. Meine Geschichte”, “Der Name des Sieges” und neulich die Umbenennung des Flughafens) wird das Expertenwissen massiv ignoriert und durch das pseudohistorische Pathos ersetzt. Dies wird zu einem Motor für die Entstehung nationaler und sozialer Stereotypen, für die Segregation alternativer Interpretationen und ihrer Träger. Vergleichbare Erscheinungen werden in vielen Staaten des postsowjetischen Raums und des ehemaligen sozialistischen Lagers (Ungarn, Weißrussland, Polen) registriert. Die Situation wird insgesamt durch die globale Devalvierung des humanitären Wissens beeinflusst, die die gezielte Popularisierung von angewandten, technischen Wissenschaften begleitet. Zu einer dritten Herausforderung wurde die digitale Revolution, die den Laien erlaubte, die nichtverifizierbaren Versionen der Vergangenheit zu schaffen und sie unbegrenzt zu verbreiten. Die oben beschriebenen soziokulturellen Phänomene verlangen nicht nur nach der interdisziplinären Analyse im Rahmen der Gedächtnistheorie, global history, Kulturantrhopologie, sondern auch nach der Entwicklung der “angewandten Geschichte” (applied history), die seit einigen Jahren im Zentrum der wissenschaftlichen Debatten steht. Eine aktive öffentliche Positionierung von zukünftigen Historiker/innen und Kulturwissenschaftler/innen scheint geeignet zu sein, um sich mit der Dauerkrise der Geschichtswissenschaft auseinanderzusetzen.
Das Ziel der internationalen Sommerschule in Jaroslawl’ ist, einen möglichen Diskussionsraum zu schaffen, in dem die russischen und deutschen Studierenden die Perspektiven der angewandten Geschichte besprechen können. Es sind die Fragen nach dem möglichen konzeptionellen und praktischen Umgang mit der aktuellen staatlichen Geschichtspolitik, mit der explosionsartigen Verbreitung populärer Erinnerungskultur, mit der Deprofessionalisierung der Geschichte und mit der Digitalisierung von historischen Landschaften zu diskutieren. Im Rahmen von Vorlesungen, Übungen und Exkursionen, aber vor allem auch im Rahmen der eigenständigen Projektarbeit werden die Teilnehmer/innen theoretische Analysenmodelle, sowie laufende (online) Projekte im Bereich der public history, Museumsaustellungen und Schuldidaktik kennenlernen. Der historische und museale Raum Jaroslawl’s – der momentan als die Hauptstadt des Goldenen Rings gepriesen wird – gibt eine einzigartige Möglichkeit, um die theoretischen und praktischen Ziele der Sommerschule zu realisieren.
Zur Teilnahme an der Sommerschule sind Bachelorstudierende ab dem vierten Semester und Masterstudierende eingeladen. Die Besucher der Sommerschule stellen ihre Projekte vor und diskutieren diese mit den anderen Teilnehmer/innen und Professor/innen, sowie auch mit den Spezialist/innen aus dem praktischen Bereich. Die Sommerschule besteht aus drei thematischen Modulen, in denen jeweils unterschiedliche Methoden der Wissensvermittlung und verschiedene Arbeitstechniken vorgestellt werden.
Modul I: Geschichtspolitik vs. public history: Erinnerungsräume im modernen Russland
Das Modul besteht aus einem theoretischen und einem praktischen Teil. Der erste Teil widmet sich den aktuellen Konzepten der Gedächtnisforschungen, des emotionellen Ereignismanagements und der visuellen Gestaltung und Inszenierung von modernen öffentlichen Räumen. Im zweiten Teil geht es um eine kritische Auseinandersetzung mit den laufenden Projekten der public history: Jubiläumsveranstaltungen, Popularisierung (Verdrängung) bestimmter historischer Akteure und Ereignisse und die Transformation des kommunikativen Gedächtnisses in das Kulturelle. Den Teilnehmer/innen haben die Möglichkeit, die fließende Grenze zwischen den Intentionen der public history und den staatlichen Interventionen in die Geschichtsbilder zu erkennen, die Interessengruppen und ihre Konflikte im öffentlichen Geschichtsraum zum Vorschein zu bringen, sowie auch die Kommerzialisierungseffekte zu kontextualisieren. Als ein Element des Moduls ist eine Podiumsdiskussion mit den Vertreter/innen der (quasi) öffentlichen Organisationen vorgesehen, die die aktuellen memorialen Projekte in Russland sowie auch im Ausland realisieren.
Modul II: Imaginäre Vergangenheit in den modernen Museen: Geschichte interaktivieren
Seit ihrer Entstehung ist die Natur von Museen zweideutig. Einerseits sind sie das Ergebnis des Herrschaftsdiskurses, andererseits beeinflussen sie ihn durch die mächtige Ressource – der “Authentizität der Dinge”. Heute genügt die Kraft der Authentizität nicht, so sind die Museen gezwungen, diesen Verlust durch performative Veranstaltungen zu kompensieren: jeder Versuch, das Vergangenheitsbild neu zu definieren, wird ohne eine interaktive Zusammenarbeit mit den Besuchern, ohne Digitalisierung der Ausstellungen und ohne Reenactment unvorstellbar. In diesem Modul bekommen die Teilnehmer/innen die Möglichkeit, aktiv in die Museumsprojekte involviert zu sein und die Perspektiven und Grenzen der angewandten Geschichte in den Museumsausstellungen einzuschätzen.
Modul III: Geschichte 2.0: lehren und lernen, propagieren und aufklären im Netz
In diesem Modul wird die Bandbreite von Internet-Ressourcen der etablierten historischen Ausbildung sowie ihre Herausforderungen (Reenactment-Communities, nostalgierende Erlebnisgemeinschaften und alternativeAufklärungsprojekten) analysiert. Sie sind von interesse, da sie ausweichende (oppositionelle) Vergangenheitsinterpretationen kreieren und verbreiten. Die Teilnehmer/innen werden ein mögliches Online-Instrumentarium der angewandten Geschichte diskutieren, das auch die Präsenz der wissenschaftlichen Interpretationen der Vergangenheit in verschiedenen online-Formen möglich macht.
Neben der Besichtigung von zahlreichen Museen und Sehenswürdigkeiten werden die Teilnehmer/innen das UNESCO-Kulturerbe der Stadt Jaroslawl kennenlernen. Das Kulturprogramm beinhaltet den Ausflug in das orthodoxe Kloster Tolgobol’, sowie auch die Besichtigung von benachbarten Städten des “Goldenen Ringes” und von einem der erfolgreichsten privaten Rekonstruktionsprojekten des russisch, bäuerlichen Unternehmensgeistes. Ein dichtes Kulturprogramm dient als eine zusätzliche Vorlage für die Diskussionen über die Bewahrung des historischen Erbes und dessen Kommerzialisierung für den inneren und ausländischen Tourismus.

“Things that Matter” addresses the tension between the materiality of sources and their digitization. The recent advances of digital technology have created new modes of reproduction and forms of consumption that have substantially reshaped the concepts of ‘object’ and of ‘collection’ at the heart of cultural institutions such as libraries and museums.
The Summer School engages with key questions that arise from the study of the past in the digital age. These issues include the changing nature of objects such as books and scientific instruments as source materials; the history and practice of collections and collecting, digitization and its challenges, both technological and intellectual. “Things that Matter” maps the possibilities and challenges posed by the digital age for researchers. The ongoing process of digitization makes sources of the past available to a previously unknown extent: but what does this mean for researchers?
We will also discuss the role of objects in Public History. How does society approach the legacy of “things” in museums and heritage institutions? Which objects are “worth keeping”, why and when? Who determines the selection process and what are the selection criteria for curators, archivists and other agents in the sector? What collections are digitized and why those? Who makes the selections? How do we meet scientific demands on systematic design and transparency when working on online search engines and on differing (and sometimes incompatible) designs of data bases?
------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Summer School brings together experts from both academia and the cultural heritage sector. Over the course of one week of intensive teaching, they will deliver lectures, lead seminars and hands-on sessions in libraries and museums, supervise student-led projects and presentations.

12.03.2019-21.06.2019, ZEIT-Stiftung Ebelin und Gerd Bucerius
The Summer School “History Takes Place – Dynamics of Urban Change” will bring together from 23 to 27 September 2019 international young researchers – historians, art historians, archaeologists, cultural and social scientists, city planners and architects. This year’s programme concentrates on the city of Tel Aviv-Jaffa focusing on its Bauhaus heritage and will be hosted by the White City Center in Tel Aviv. The ZEIT-Stiftung Ebelin und Gerd Bucerius and the Gerda Henkel Foundation invite the participants to study the connections between historical events and spatial development.
Since 2003 we have invited young historians and social scientists (usually postgraduate students) annually to take part in studies programmes in various locations. The Gerda Henkel Foundation is the program partner since 2009. The aim is to find the traces of history in the topography, architecture and monuments of the place. The city itself is 'read' as a historical source – 'History Takes Place'.
Applications
The summer school invites applications particularly from postgraduate students in history, art history, cultural studies and the social sciences, as well as young architects and city planners. Applicants should have a genuine interest in an interdisciplinary exchange on the history of the city and city development. Participants should have a specialization connected with Tel Aviv-Jaffa as well as a keen thematic and methodological interest in urban studies. Sessions will be held in English. Applicants are expected to prepare for the sessions with course materials and reading lists in order to be able to give a presentation on a set topic related to their academic interests and competencies.
Travel and accommodation expenses will be covered by the organizers.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Founded as a suburb of Jaffa, Tel Aviv has evolved by the mid-1930s to become the most prominent city of the Jewish citizenry of Palestine under the British Mandate and that due to an influx of immigrants coming mostly from Eastern and Central Europe in search of a safe haven from anti-semitic policies. Graduates of the Bauhaus and similar schools in Europe have supplied the demand for housing and urban development in the rapidly developing city. Jaffa, remaining the leading city of the Arab citizenry, also boasted the international style of that time, but to a lesser extent, it was less conspicuous against the backdrop of the previously built environment.
Tel Aviv was distinctive in its ensemble of an almost complete urban fabric based on a master plan of a Garden City in conjunction with its International Style built environment. Nowadays, approximately 4,000 International Style buildings, set into the Garden City urban planning, form part of the UNESCO proclaimed World Heritage Site under the appellation of "White City of Tel Aviv: The Modern Movement."
This year, in cooperation with the White City Center (WCC), the Summer School will focus on the concept of 'Societies on the Move'; i.e. the movement of people, materials, and cultures as a central element of modern architecture and this element's influence on the urban landscape. The Summer School wishes to explore historical and contemporary relationships through representations of identities, examining how migration and mobility affect individuals, cities, and cultures while reshaping their identities.

17.08.2019-20.08.2019, European Society for Environmental History,

The Departments of History and Semiotics at the University of Tartu and KAJAK, the Estonian Centre for Environmental History at Tallinn University, with the support of the European Society for Environmental History (ESEH) and the KTH Royal Institute of Technology in Sweden are pleased to announce a four-day graduate school in environmental history hosted at the University of Tartu, Estonia. This graduate school will precede the ESEH biannual conference in Tallinn (August 21-25), and offers intermediate to advanced graduate students the opportunity to present and discuss their work, to network with other researchers from across the world, and participate in practical workshops.
The 2019 ESEH graduate school, Non-human agency in historical environments, will explore the agency of non-humans as a lens through which to understand past environments and societies. The instructors of the course include specialists from environmental history as well as bio- and ecosemiotics. The event will therefore focus particularly on one of the biggest challenges for humanist scholars interested in environment: how to build a methodologically sound enquiry into the life worlds of non-humans? How to escape environmental determinism without anthropomorphising non-human nature?
In the summer school we will be looking for specific approaches and methods that could be useful for all of us who work with bigger animals or microbial life, earth systems or fungi, insects or plants. We reflect on the diverse interrelations between material agency and social phenomena in various fields of social life. We discuss how to write environmental history without attributing humans’ species-specific perceptive capacities to other species or material objects. Is there a way to write history from the point of view of fungi or chimpanzees, or is it always an artistic device? What are the advantages and challenges of including non-human agency to the study of historical environments? How can we add a historical perspective to the description of non-human life worlds? We will also discuss the tension between species and individual agency – how can museum exhibitions and scientific texts display non-humans as individuals while they are there to represent typical species characteristics at the same time?
The graduate school aims to gather 15 graduate students or recent post-docs together with junior and senior scholars who will all give formal and informal presentations, as well as feedback for promoting rich methodological discussions in a friendly atmosphere. The discussions are concentrated into thematic blocs that include a presentation from a senior scholar, oral presentations by the doctoral students, feedback for each of the presentations both from instructors and other participants, general discussion and a practical workshop or a field trip. All participants are expected to make a 20-minute oral presentation and give constructive feedback to other presentations. They are also expected to submit a draft of a chapter or article
(approximately 4000 words) one month before the summer school that will then be discussed at the feedback session.
The summer school includes a workshop on poster presentations. After
the course, the participants should submit a poster, synthesizing the main take-away ideas that they have got from the course.
All workshops and feedback sessions will be led by both historians and semioticians.
Biosemiotics has a long track-record of developing methods to account for non-human agency and describe how other life forms take decisions within their perceptive capacities and environmental conditions. Semiotics has also developed tools to approach how humans and
non-humans make sense of their environment and how environment affords or negates certain actions, without resorting to determinism. This summer school will incorporate some of the methodological tools offered by semiotics by cooperating closely with the Tartu Summer
School of Semiotics that is held at the University of Tartu at the same dates (http://tsss.ut.ee/).
Contact the organisers as soon as possible if you want your presentation to be included in the part of the program that the two summer schools share. All doctoral students and immediate post-docs working on the above topics are welcome to apply. A few places can be given to excellent MA students.
An application for the graduate school consists of sending the organizers:
1) a curriculum vitae;
2) an abstract of the presentation and outline of the research topic (ca 300 words);
3) a letter of support.
All accepted participants will receive free lunches and accommodation during this four-day seminar (in shared rooms), but participants are responsible for their own transportation to and from Estonia.
The working language of the summer school is English.
The course will give 3 ETCS.
APPLICATION DEADLINE: April 1, 2019.
Please send all queries and your application to Marten Seppel (marten.seppel[at]ut.ee) and Kati Lindström (kati.lindstrom[at]abe.kth.se)

The graduate summer school will explore the past of the Russian Empire and the USSR through approaches generated by global history and new imperial histories. Contemporary historical scholarship is an on-going international conversation focusing on a number of key themes and attendant approaches, such as human diversity, the emergence of modern state and mass societies, global political order and universalist political visions, interactions between humans and the environment, movements of people, goods, and ideas, imperial and national political formations; colonialism and forms of indirect rule and domination. Global and imperial histories intersect as many polities were and are described as empires. Historically, empires were a dominant form of political organization, and even following de-colonization and the rise of the nation-state, the imperial logic of political imagination and organization of political space did not disappear. The school will thus explore how we can approach Russian and Soviet history by engaging key approaches in new imperial and global histories and what perspectives Russian and Soviet history can offer for the international dialogue in the fields of imperial and global history.
The summer school format will be seminar-style discussion of readings guided by participating faculty, who will also give thematic lectures. The school will also offer graduate students and researchers at the early stages of their career to workshop their current research projects with the help of the participating faculty. The school program will also include a publications strategy and design workshop.

Subject: Sem: Bergen-Belsen International Summer School 2019 - Lohheide 8/2019
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Gedenkstätte Bergen-Belsen, Lohheide
03.08.2019-14.08.2019, Gedenkstätte Bergen-Belsen
This year marks the 74th anniversary of the liberation of the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp. Since the atrocities committed under the Nazi regime are moving further away from us in time, Bergen-Belsen Memorial is in a continuous process of developing new ways for remembering, researching and teaching the history of Bergen-Belsen and encourage reflection about its significance for the present. This process is heavily influenced by the current political climate, as well as by the fact that memory and remembrance are becoming increasingly digital and transnational phenomena.
During this year’s Bergen-Belsen International Summer School, that will take place from 3-14 August 2019, we will focus on the concept of transnational memory and its influence on the way we remember and teach the Holocaust and other mass atrocities. Participants are expected to develop their own ideas and express themselves in different ways. Activities may include writing short texts, photo- and videography and social media.
We aim to gather young academics in their master- or PhD studies and/or young professionals at the beginning of their careers with an affinity for Holocaust- Genocide- and Memory Studies and (political) education. We encourage applications from people working in the creative industry.
Programme
We will start this year’s Summer School by getting to know Bergen-Belsen Memorial and its different departments and projects. Participants will be offered different guided tours of the exhibition(s) and former camp grounds. They will also have the possibility to gather some behind-the-scenes experience talking to the Memorial’s staff.
This will be complemented by a keynote lecture by Jenny Wüstenberg (Toronto), sessions on the concept of transnational memory and panel discussions on its impact concerning Holocaust remembrance in general and Bergen-Belsen more specifically in different countries. The programme also includes a day visit to Hamburg, where we will visit the Hannoverscher Bahnhof Memorial, which was inaugurated in 2017 and will be complemented by a documentation center in 2020.
Registration
The working language of the Bergen-Belsen International Summer School is English. The participants’ language skills must be sufficient to enable them to understand the preparatory texts, follow the lectures and tours and actively participate in the discussions. Participants must be 18 or older.
Accommodation will be in double rooms. The costs for the programme, accommodation and meals will be borne by the Bergen-Belsen Memorial. Participants are responsible for arranging their own arrival and departure as well as any necessary visas. We are still looking into ways to subsidise travel expenses.
Registration is possible via the online application form until May 10, 2019. You will find this form and additional information (e.g. preliminary programme) on our website.
