Out now – new publication by alumna fellow Cathrine and our director Burcu

Cathrine Bublatzky, Burcu Dogramaci, Kerstin Pinther and Mona Schieren. Entangled Histories of Art and Migration. Theories, Sites and Research Methods. Bristol: intellect, 2024. Dedicated to the stories of migrants, refugees, asylum seekers, and exiles, this collection asks how these stories are interwoven with art, art practices, activism, reception, and (re-)presentation. It explores the complex entanglements of art and aesthetic practices with migration, flight, and other forms of enforced dislocation and border/border crossings in global contexts - the latter significant phenomena of social transformation in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. These entanglements take centre stage when migration shapes forms and aesthetics (and vice versa), when actors employ image politics and visualisation strategies in and about migration at different times and places, or when materialities, sites, and spaces gain importance for decision-making processes. Giving space to these stories of art and migration and its power of pluriverse knowledge production, the book takes an art and cultural studies perspective and questions the significance of spatial changes for artistic practice in migration and elaborates on new or different theory formation. Bringing together its case studies and theoretical approaches, the argumentation unfolds over the five sections of the book Visibilities | Invisibilities, Sites | Spaces, Materiality |  Materialisation, Racism | Resistance and Practices | Performativity.     Continue Reading

Another key focus is the Roma and Sinti Holocaust. The broader goal is to examine Roma–non-Roma relations in Munich during the first half of the 20th century, a time when anti-Roma policies and discrimination escalated, ultimately leading to their extermination.

Anna Nübling’s Dissertation Now Published

global dis:connect congratulates Dr. Anna Nübling, a former member of the gd:c post-doc programme whom we greatly miss, on the publication of her dissertation. The book, entitled Fortschreiten und Festhalten Zeitkapseln und Geschichtsphilosophie in der Hochmoderne and published by Kadmos, deals with the practice of preserving time capsules that their creators used to communicate with their own futures and to give their successors a certain few into their pasts. Anna also considers the philosophies of history implied by such practices, which she traces from the late 19th century to the 1970s.

 

Bravo Anna! We cherish our common past and look with great anticipation to your promising future.
