Performing the Hyphen
The Jewish Museum Berlin (JMB) is a dynamic, performative space that negotiates between representing the Jew as an integral part of German history and as ultimate Other. While this tension has been documented through the political history of the museum (Lackmann 2000; Pieper 2006; Young 2000), we focus on the dynamics of guided tours and special events. We claim that guiding and festival events at JMB marginalise Holocaust memory and present an i…
Heritage And The Making Of (Trans-)Local Identities
This chapter tries to understand the process of making local heritage and by this producing (trans-)local identities at different points in history. The northern part of the Curonian Spit (Lithuania), has been characterised by an inconsistent national affiliation in the course of the twentieth century and the resulting change of population. The end of the Second World War brought a brutal end to local life on the Curonian Spit when most of the in…

Social Security in Religious Networks
During the last decades, the world has been facing tremendous political transformations and new risks: epidemics such as HIV/Aids have had destabilizing effect on the caretaking role of kin; in post-socialist countries political reforms have made unemployment a new source of insecurity.

Whose Heritage? Legal Pluralism and the Politics of the Past. A Case Study from the Curonian Spit (Lithuania)
Since the term ‘legal pluralism ’ was introduced more than thirty years ago it has become the subject of a “long intellectual odyssey ” (Merry 1988: 869) and “of emotionally-loaded debates ” concerning the meaning and scope of the term (F. von Benda-Beckmann 2002: 37).1 However, as the Benda-Beckmanns have convincingly shown in their work, the importance of ‘legal pluralism ’ lies less in the ideological debates on the term itself, but rather in …

THE CASE OF A MULTI-CONFESSIONAL LOCALITY IN POST-WAR LEBANON BY ANJA PELEIKIS In the Western understanding of the Middle East, religion has often been mentioned as the main reason for conflicts, outbreaks of violence, civil war and wars in the region.

The emergence of a translocal community
During the last decades international migration has changed in form and nature. It is less frequently one-directional, but more often characterised by multi-layered, complex processes.Taking the empirical case of a South Lebanese village and its translocal migrant connections, A. J. wants to show in this paper how and by what means people at home and abroad are involved in constructing their 'village beyond borders'. In the presented case people'…
