Daniel Bauer – författare

Combining personal narrative and ethnography, Identity, Development, and the Politics of the Past examines cultural change in a rural Ecuadorian fishing village where the community has worked to stake claim to an Indigenous identity in the face of economic, social, and political integration. By documenting how villagers have reconstructed their identity through the use of archaeology and political demarcation of territory, author Daniel Bauer shows that ethnicity is part of a complex social matrix that involves politics, economics, and history.  Residents in the coastal community of Salango pushed for formal recognition of Indigenous identity while highlighting their pre-Hispanic roots in order to make claims about cultural continuity and ancestrality. Bauer considers the extent to which the politics of identity is embedded in the process of community-based development, paying close attention to how local conceptions of identity and residents’ ideas about their own identity and the identities of others fit within the broader context of Ecuadorian and Latin American notions of mestizaje. He emphasizes ethnogenesis and the fluid nature of identity as residents reference prehistory and the archaeological record as anchor points for claims to an Indigenous ethnic identity.  Identity, Development, and the Politics of the Past moves beyond existing studies that center on questions of authenticity and instead focuses on the ways people make claims to identity. This book makes a significant contribution to the growing body of literature on the Ecuadorian coast and directs scholars who focus on Ecuador to expand their focus beyond the highland and Amazonian regions. It will be of interest to students and scholars of Latin American studies, anthropology, ethnology, economic development, and ethnic identity.

Manche gleichzeitigen Ereignisse mögen Zufall sein, ihr Zusammentreffen ist aber dennoch verblüffend. So ereignete sich Friedrich Nietzsches Zusammenbruch gerade in dem Jahr, als die Pariser Weltausstellung ein Panorama von Technik, Fortschritt und kulturellem Selbstbewusstsein bot. Bei näherem Hinsehen zeigt die Beschäftigung mit dem Jahr 1889, dass dieses Jahr in herausgehobener Weise für die Ambivalenzen moderner Subjektivität stehen kann – zwischen bahnbrechendem Fortschritt, zunehmendem Freiheitsbewusstsein und Ahnung von der eigenen Selbstüberschätzung. Der Band enthält Miniaturen (Fallstudien) zu dem Schlüsseljahr 1889, die aus einem Bonner Symposium im Sommer 2024 hervorgegangen sind.Mit Beiträgen von Daniel Bauer, Rolf Füllmann, Jana Günther, Tabea Knura, Martina Kumlehn, Volker Ladenthin, Heike Lindner, Michael Meyer-Blanck, Andreas Obermann, Michael Roth, Athanasios Stogiannidis, Gotlind Ulshöfer, Jens Waltemate und Christoph Wiesinger.[Fin de Siècle 1889: When the Eiffel Tower was built and Nietzsche went mad]Some simultaneous events may be coincidental, but their coincidence is nonetheless astonishing. For example, Friedrich Nietzsche''s collapse occurred in the very year that the Paris World''s Fair offered a panorama of technology, progress and cultural self-confidence. A closer look at the year 1889 shows that this year can stand for the ambivalences of modern subjectivity in an outstanding way - between groundbreaking progress, increasing awareness of freedom and a sense of one''s own overestimation of oneself. The volume contains miniatures (case studies) on the key year 1889, which emerged from a Bonn symposium in the summer of 2024.

A world where skin is often smoothed, filtered, polished, Daniel Bauer offers a raw, authentic, and powerfully erotic perspective on the female body. This book is a declaration, an homage to the freedom of body hair, everything that defines its uniqueness and truth. By photographing women who embrace their very nature in its entirety, Bauer celebrates a femininity liberated from the beauty diktats imposed by modern society.
