  • Hearing voices in the archive

    Almut Hoffmann, Anette Hoffmann et al.ARTICLESocial Dynamics2015Citada por: 2Referencias: 15

    This essay is an attempt to fathom the performative and textual potential of historical sound recordings from the Lautarchiv in Berlin, along the available written files and a particular set of acoustic files spoken by an isiXhosa speaker. Read and listened to together, these files document the event and rationale of the recordings of the Phonographische Kommission with a man from the Eastern Cape, who was recorded while being interned as a forei…

  • Echoes of the Great War

    Open AccessAlmut Hoffmann, Anette HoffmannARTICLEOpen Arts Journal2014

    Apart from army registers, some (often anonymous) photographs and the files of anthropometric examination, the involvement of thousands of African soldiers in WWI and their presence in POW camps in Europe seems to have left few traces in European archives. Vis-à-vis a mass of autobiographic texts on the Great War, written by Europeans and Americans, there are very few published accounts of African soldiers that would allow for their historical ex…

  • The Merits and Predicaments of Opacity

    Almut Hoffmann, Anette HoffmannARTICLEResearch in African Literatures2007Referencias: 5

    Opacity is an intrinsic characteristic of Otjiherero praise poetry: it simultaneously enables and complicates reception. This essay analyzes a piece of Herereo praise poetry (omutandu) that was created for the burial of the victims of the so-called "Windhoek Shooting" in 1959 and preserved until today by means of oral transmission. It explores the poetic response of the Herero community to the forced removal of Africans from the vicinity of Windh…

  • The skull of Combe Capelle

    Almut Hoffmann, Dietrich WegnerARTICLEAnthropologischer Anzeiger2002

    Since the end of World War II two of the most important anthropological artefacts of the Museum für Vor- und Frühgeschichte in Berlin, the skulls and skeletons of Le Moustier and Combe Capelle, were believed to be missing or destroyed, respectively. The postcrania were severely damaged during a fire after the museum was bombed in February 1945, while the skulls were brought to the Soviet Union in 1945. In 1965, the skull of the Neanderthal man fr…
