Troublesome Performers, Beautiful Fighters”: Bringing to Life the Kolonial-Ausstellung of 1896 at the Museum and Beyond
In 2017 the exhibition ZurückGESCHAUT, produced by the district Museum Treptow in Berlin, made history when it partnered with antiracist organizations to tell the story of participants in a Völkerschau that had taken place in 1896. It was the first time that a German museum incorporated a critical view of German colonialism in its permanent exhibition and interwove local and global history. The exhibition inspired an artistic audio project, Zurüc…

Imagining European Diversity in an Age of Migration
How has European visual culture supported the welcoming of refugees in Europe? This article examines the tropes of romance and family in performances at the Eurovision Song Contest and in recent European films, to ask how they encourage or limit the inclusion of asylum seekers and undocumented immigrants in the European polity. Demonstrating the long history of these tropes in colonial fantasies that imagine community on unequal gendered and raci…
Cosmopolitan empire: Central and Eastern Europeans at the Eurovision Song Contest
The annual Eurovision Song Contest has provided a venue where participating nations from the former Soviet bloc, whose relation to Europeanness may be tenuous, strive to perform claims to belonging and partnership. Yet the increasing emphasis on ‘diversity’ in the representation of an expanding Europe has created difficulties for Central and Eastern European countries, which historically were positioned as ‘ethnic’, if not racialized vis-à-vis we…
Black Virgins: Sexuality and the Democratic Body in Europe
I wish to express my gratitude to Nils Tabert at the Rowohlt Theaterverlag, who made available the play's original script; to Insa Popken for answering questions about the stage adaptation; to the Hebbel-am-Ufer theater for providing me with additional materials; and to one of the anonymous readers for a probing and constructive review
Development and Migration
T he term globalization did not gain wide currency until the 1990s, yet the process to which it refers was retrospectively given a much longer history that varied somewhat by discipline. 1 While the rise of multinational and transnational economic entities, the accelerating speed and scope of migrations, and the emergence of a worldwide infrastructure of information and communication are regarded by many as the first indicators of a global era ta…

Indians: The Globalized Woman on the Community Stage
This essay examines the German opera Indians, about an Indian computer programmer who comes to work in Germany, in light of the current debates about the gender politics of globalization. It argues that the opera stages a feminist critique of the neoliberal emancipation paradigm and constructs a sexual rhetoric of capitalist desire. This article also dramatizes a critique of race and immigration by juxtaposing a musical score by the nineteenth-ce…

Exiles, Eccentrics, Activists: Women in Contemporary German Theater
German artists and theorists have furnished many of the groundbreaking models of political theater whose critical, and sometimes revolutionary, potential continues to keep theater alive. German women's dramatic work reflects their active participation in major movements for social change, yet their plays have rarely reached the mainstage or found their way into the accounts of theater history. Katrin Sieg's study investigates how gender, central …
