Population growth and depopulation

Kategorie: Englische Postings·Neue Geschichte

The last day of the 48. Deutscher Historikertag at Humboldt University in Berlin in 2010 saw members of the Jacobs University Bremen and the Max Planck Institute for the History of Science present their new approaches to analyse the global transfer of techniques of population control in the 20th century to a small academic audience. The interdisciplinary method - in this case, demography, history, history of science, biology, and sociology - was stimulating and inspiring.

The panel was introduced by Dr. Veronika Lipphardt (Berlin) and Dr. Corinna R. Unger (Bremen), who also chaired the discussion.

The Spatial Turn in Berlin. An expedition through the program of the German Historians´ Symposium 2010

Kategorie: Englische Postings

In his greetings on the occasion of the 48th German Historians´ Symposium, Klaus Wowereit, the Mayor of Berlin, says that this year`s motto "Beyond Borders" is giving the Symposium a "special Berlin ring" to it. Thus various historical border crossings are expected in the formerly divided city this year. Werner Plumpe´s foreword shows convincingly that borders do not only encompass geographical borders like those between national states.

By Angela Siebold

Methods, theories, latest academic approaches and perspectives of historical science will be the central aspects of this event covering "border regions", "moving borders", "borderlines" between academic disciplines, subjects, identities and methods, which will all be discussed and negotiated. Even the aspects of "misunderstandings concerning borders", semantic border changes and "virtual limits of historical science" will be addressed. "Border-crossing contacts" will be initiated, nationally speaking, as well as disciplinary related.
