GRK 2571 - Empires

African Heritage In Europe: Join a special screening of “Dahomey” and “If Objects Could Speak” on 24 July at 19:30, hosted by Kommunales Kino Freiburg (Urachstr. 40, 79102 Freiburg). Both films address the colonial appropriation of African cultural objects and pose vital questions about restitution, identity, and justice.

Afterwards, Dr. Kokou Azamede (Université Lomé, Togo) and filmmaker Elena Bauer will discuss these issues on a panel moderated by Dr. Richard Legay (ABI). This event is organised by our local partners and we highly recommend attending.

Liebe Historiker*innen, wer von euch kann mir denn weiterhelfen mit Expert*innen und Literatur über die Zwangsgermanisierung von Kindern, die aus Lagern verschleppt und in deutsche Familien übergeben wurden? Vor allem, aber nicht nur polnische Kinder. Und mit den Aufgaben des sog. "Rasse- und Siedlungshauptamts" in Berlin im NS?

The 1948-60 Malayan Emergency:

"The British attempted to starve the Malayan Nat'l Liberation Army (MNLA) using scorched earth policies through food rationing, killing livestock, and aerial spraying of the herbicide Agent Orange. The British engaged in extrajudicial killings of unarmed civilians, in violation of the Geneva Conventions. The most infamous example is the Batang Kali massacre, which the press has referred to as "Britain's My Lai". The Briggs Plan forcibly relocated a million civilians into concentration camps. Many Orang Asli indigenous communities were also targeted for internment because the British believed that they were supporting the communists. The widespread decapitation of people suspected to have been guerrillas led to the 1952 British Malayan headhunting scandal."

Linguistes atterrées ☑️

📌Nouveau texte de blog rédigé par notre collègue Alain Kihm, sur une question qui fait toujours l'actualité : Langue et intégration.

Peut on devenir Français sans parler français ? On ne se pose pas ce genre de question de manière automatique et anhistorique.

Alain Kihm raconte une autre histoire méconnue, pas en France mais au Portugal. Ces débats méritent de s'inscrire dans le temps long, et non dans le temps électoral à très courte vue. Allez découvrir, le texte n'est pas long⤵️

Quand on est comme moi à Paris, sous la pluie, et pas tout à fait en vacances, il y a des perspectives intéressantes pour s'évader un peu scientifiquement...
Je remets ici l'appel à communications de @rhr_news pour le colloque "Renaissance en Provence", qui aura lieu en 2026:

Happy St Ealswitha's Day!

Ealswitha (or Elswith or Ealhswith) was Queen of Wessex as the wife of Alfred the Great. She was also the mother of a queen regnant (Aethelflaed of Mercia).

Described as the “true and dear lady of the English”, Ealswitha was sainted following her death.

One of her links to Somerset is spending part of 878 AD hiding at Athelney from the Vikings.

Scalp laws and Native genocide

"Officials implemented scalp laws and paid bounties in Dutch New Netherland in the 1600s. Governors in French Canada and Louisiana continued that trend throughout much of the eighteenth century. British colonies like Nova Scotia, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and Pennsylvania implemented “scalp acts” with shocking regularity. In the mid-1800s, Americans in California and Oregon formed dozens if not hundreds of “volunteer companies” to kill and scalp as many Indians as they could find. Although the intent to exterminate Indians was the same everywhere, outcomes differed across time and place. Fewer than one hundred scalps were redeemed for bounty money in the New England colonies. In California, scalp warfare eliminated nearly 90 percent of some tribal populations."

Kleine, aber feine Ausstellung in der James-Simon-Galerie in Berlin: »Die Bronzen von San Casciano dei Bagni«.

Dort sind antike Votivgaben ausgestellt. Kranke haben diese an der toskanischen Thermalquelle gestiftet. Die Quelle gibt es heute noch.

5/ Dans la rubrique historique, nous intéressons aux aventuriers qui ont découvert et effectué les premières explorations de l’Erebus, un nom mythique dans le petit milieu des volcanophiles. Car cette montagne cumule les faits remarquables : volcan actif le plus au sud du globe, en #Antarctique ; un des rares à posséder un lac de lave semi-permanent dans son cratère ; sans oublier les étonnantes tours de glace d’où s’échappent les gaz… ⬇️

"The idea of wilderness and ‘pristine’ national parks is an invention and ecologically unsound. …uninhabited wilderness had to be created before it could be preserved."

The biggest sign of how good @greg_jenner 's new kids' history book is: my 11-y-o was sneak-reading her preordered copy tonight while we were out eating pizza!

(I've also gotten to hear lots of fun updates from it already. My favorite so far: the Australian prehistoric Demon Duck of DOOM!)

IOW, happy belated book birthday to Totally Chaotic History: The Stone Age Runs Wild: goodreads.com/book/show/228489
