Geldpolitik ohne eigene Währung
Located between two large economic and currency blocs, the small state of Luxembourg managed to take an intermediate position in monetary policy issues during the major reorganization of the continental European currency areas in the second half of the 19th century. In an independent way, the Grand Duchy followed currency convergence and harmonization measures instigated both by the German side and by the Latin Monetary Union led by France. By is…
Addressing seeming paradoxes by embracing them
This article examines the integration of migrants in Luxembourg within the framework of small state theory. Within the comparative scholarship on migration, small states are often presented as "success stories." This research questions this assumption and empirical data presented here indicates that many contradictions exist within Luxembourg's migrant integration model. The country's "success" in fact does not reflect the levels of integration o…
The Materiality and Spatiality of Death, Burial and Commemoration
Continuity and change
Co-Creating Ritual Spaces and Communities
Cemeteries have been viewed in opposed ways as ritual spaces that either mirror society or present an idealized model of society. In this article, we propose an analysis of cemeteries as ritual spaces, focused on the case study of municipal cemetery Tongerseweg in Maastricht, among the most important monumental cemeteries still in active use in The Netherlands today. Drawing on historical as well as interview material, spatial and ritual studies,…

The material culture of burial and its microgeography
This article uses a novel quantitative methodology to examine sepulchral material culture. Drawing on the theoretical frameworks of social spatialization and art as agency, the authors contend that variations in grave designs and materiality cannot simply be explained in terms of changes in fashion and mentality. Other factors also need to be taken into account. Using a digital data collection tool, the Cemetery Surveyor Application (CSA) develop…
Cemeteries and urban form
Research in urban morphology rarely takes account of the specific forms of burial grounds. This paper offers a synthesis of how Christian cities of the dead mirror the cities of the living, and provides an overview of different Western European ‘funeral epochs’. The shifting location of burial grounds relates to major changes in town planning and building. Adopting a historico-geographical approach, micro-morphological transformations of grave-pl…
Funerary Culture and Modernisation in the State of Luxembourg (1800-2000)
This article discusses funerary politics in relationship to the political culture of the small state of Luxembourg in northwest Europe during the age of modernisation. During the long 19th century, the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg experienced several political changes which affected sepulchral culture, but this did not lead to a ‘ Kulturkamp’ over cemeteries between the Chuch and the States as it occurred in neighbour countries. Disputes were resolv…
Military Migrants
Among the roughly 150,000 soldiers sent to the Dutch East Indies between 1815 and 1914, the Luxembourg contingent made up a tiny minority of just 1,075 men. Based upon extensive research into their careers, data on these soldiers provide further clues to understanding what drove Europe’s young men to become colonial soldiers. The results of this national case study will be compared with earlier investigations by Bossenbroek and Bosma on recruits …
Between water and land
In explaining urban form in Cambodia, morphological continuity between rural and urban forms is examined. Environment and agrarian land use are decisive factors in the location and shape of plots in the countryside. Under conditions of higher population density, urban plots tend to be compressed versions of rural ones. Adopting a historico-geographical approach, the development of the form of Phnom Penh as a colonial city and capital of a French …
Voices’ from the Untac Files
During the 1980s, refugee camps along the Thai–Cambodian border constituted the power base for the civil war parties opposing the People's Republic of Kampuchea (PRK, 1979–91). Politics of accommodation and basic services also played a key role in the ‘original accumulation’ of political power by the new regime in Phnom Penh. The resettlement process of Cambodia's deserted cities developed into a major playground for clientelism, the foundation o…
