Lhotsky, the Impostor? Negotiating Natural History in the Australian Colonies
Invaders, Tourists, or Visitors? Reading Indigenous Stories in a German University Context
In this article, we ask how to engage with Indigenous stories non-extractively from our own positioning as German scholars within the German university system. Taking guidance from the methodological work of Stó:lō and St’at’imc scholar and storyteller Jo-ann Archibald Q’um Q’um Xiiem and Wiradjuri author, critic, and academic Jeanine Leane, we engage with representations of German settler figures in Cherie Dimaline’s Empire of Wild and Ellen van…
Pioneers of culture’
Many contemporary efforts to attend to the coloniality of nineteenth-century natural collections rely on the reconceptualization of items held in these collections as cultural belongings. After describing the significance of this development, the article seeks to complicate the hope invested in 'culture' in this particular context. It argues that it resonates rather strangely, at least with the German historical record, where a particular underst…
Ecosystem shifts at two mid-Holocene tipping points in the alpine Lake Son Kol (Kyrgyzstan, Central Asia)
Tipping points can be defined as critical ecosystem thresholds that start self-enforced dynamics pushing systems into new stable states. Many lake ecosystems of arid Central Asia are sensitive to hydrological changes as they are located at the intersection of the influence of the dry Siberian Anticyclone and the relatively humid mid-latitude Westerlies, and their sediment records can be used to study past tipping points. We studied subfossil chir…
The Making of Tupaia’s Map
Tupaia’s Map is one of the most famous and enigmatic artefacts to emerge from the early encounters between Europeans and Pacific Islanders. It was drawn by Tupaia, an arioi priest, chiefly advisor and master navigator from Ra‘iātea in the Leeward Society Islands in collaboration with various members of the crew of James Cook’s Endeavour, in two distinct moments of mapmaking and three draft stages between August 1769 and February 1770. To this day…
Authors’ Response
We are sincerely thankful to the Journal of Pacific History for hosting a discussion of our research on Tupaia's Map and for inviting responses to our findings from colleagues on whose writings we
Melancholia
Schomburgk's Chook
Focusing on the politics of museums, collections and the untold stories of the scientific 'specimens' that travelled between Germany and Australia, this article reconstructs the historical, interpersonal and geopolitical contexts that made it possible for the stuffed skin of an Australian malleefowl to become part of the collections of Berlin's Museum für Naturkunde. The author enquires into the kinds of contexts that are habitually considered ir…
Remembering German-Australian colonial entanglement
The role of German actors in European colonialisms, especially before the foundation of the German nation state in 1871 and Germany’s entry into imperialism proper with the so-called protectorates
The greatest son of our Heimat ”
The article discusses German commemorations of Ludwig Leichhardt (1813–1848) in the National Socialist era when officials, journalists, educators and writers, spurred by the double anniversary of the explorer's 125th birthday and the 90th anniversary of his disappearance, began to re-imagine the explorer's life and fate in the light of the ideological imperatives of the day. Our analysis of this period pays particular attention to how these reima…
Postcolonial Piracy
Across the global South, new media technologies have brought about new forms of cultural production, distribution and reception. The spread of cassette recorders in the 1970s; the introduction of analogue and digital video formats in the 80s and 90s; the pervasive availability of recycled computer hardware; the global dissemination of the internet and mobile phones in the new millennium: all these have revolutionised the access of previously marg…
Climatic imprint of the mid-latitude Westerlies in the Central Tian Shan of Kyrgyzstan and teleconnections to North Atlantic climate variability during the last 6000 years
In general, a moderate drying trend is observed in mid-latitude arid Central Asia since the Mid-Holocene, attributed to the progressively weakening influence of the mid-latitude Westerlies on regional climate. However, as the spatio-temporal pattern of this development and the underlying climatic mechanisms are yet not fully understood, new high-resolution paleoclimate records from this region are needed. Within this study, a sediment core from L…
Sediment dynamics and hydrologic events affecting small lacustrine systems on the southern-central Tibetan Plateau – the example of TT Lake
A sedimentological, geochemical, micropaleontological, and palynological study of a lacustrine sediment record from the small TT Lake (southern-central Tibetan Plateau) shows that the background sedimentation was frequently interrupted by event-related deposits. These event-related deposits are interpreted as the result of hydrologic events that are triggered by above-average precipitation events. In total, 11 events were recorded in the TT Lake …
Memory, migration and guilt
For a while now, German and Australian societies have been in the process of negotiating the understanding of their nations’ guilty pasts, constituted by the atrocities committed by Germans during the Third Reich on the one hand and the history of Indigenous dispossession in Australia on the other. These concerns mark a reorientation of national memory politics towards an empathic recognition of the nation’s victims. This article discusses the wa…
Parallel Societies” of the Past? Articulations of Citizenship’s Commemorative Dimension in Berlin’s Cityscape
Historical narratives play an important role in constructing contemporary notions of citizenship. They are sites on which ideas of the nation are not only reaffirmed but also contested and reframed. In contemporary Germany, dominant narratives of the country’s modern history habitually focus on the legacy of the Third Reich and tend to marginalize the country’s rich and highly complex histories of immigration. The article addresses this commemora…
Not this year!’ reenacting contested pasts aboard the ship
This article is interested in exploring what happens when historical reenactments are faced with the task of reproducing events whose legacy for the present is disputed among different social groups. It focuses on The Ship, a 2002 television recapitulation of Cook's 1770 Endeavour voyage of imperial discovery along the east coast of the Australian continent. The ‘increasing division on board about just what Cook's legacy to history means’ opens o…
