The book investigates and compares the role of artistic and academic refugees from National Socialism acting as "cultural mediators" or "agents of knowledge" between their origin and host societies. By doing so, it locates itself at the intersection of the recently emerging field of the history of knowledge, transnational history, migration, exile, as well as cultural transfer studies. The case studies provided in this volume are of global scope, focusing on routes of escape and migration to Iceland, Italy, the Near East, Portugal and Shanghai, and South-, Central-, and North America. The chapters examine the hybrid ways refugees envisaged, managed, organized, and subsequently mediated their migrations. It focuses on how they dealt with their escape in their art and science. The chapters ask how the emigrants located themselves––did they associate with ethnic, religious, and/or cultural affiliations, specific social classes, or specific parts of society—and how such identifications were portrayed in their knowledge transfer and cultural translations. Building on such possible avenues for research, this volume aims to offer a global analysis of the multifarious processes not only of cultural translation and knowledge transfer affecting culture, sciences, networks, but also everyday life in different areas of the world.

This edited volume offers an historical perspective on the creation of a global mass industry around skiing. By focusing on the ski resort as loci par excellence for global exchange, the contributors consider the development of skiing around the world during the crucial post-war years.

With its global lens, Leisure Cultures and the Making of Modern Ski Resorts highlights both commonalities and differences between countries. Experts across various fields of research cover developments across the ski-able world, from Europe, Asia and America to Australia. Attention to media and material cultures reveals an insight into global fashions, consumption and ski cultures, and the impact of mainstream media in the 1960s and 1970s. 

This global and interdisciplinary approach will appeal to history, sociology, cultural and media research scholars interested in a cultural history of skiing, as well as those with more broad interests inglobalization, consumption research, and knowledge transfer. 

In diesem Doppelband finden sich über 30 Vorträge und Interviews der seit 2007 bestehenden "Hildesheimer Europagespräche". Er bietet einen Streifzug durch vielfältige Forschungsfelder rund um Europa. Vertreten sind vor allem die Geschichts-, aber auch die Kultur-, Politik-, Sozial- und Wirtschaftswissenschaften. Die Beiträge widmen sich vor allem folgenden Fragen: - Welche Sicht besteht auf Europa? - Wie wird die Geschichte der europäischen Einigung analysiert und dargestellt? - Wie verorten sich die Wissenschaften hinsichtlich Heterogenität und Homogenität der Geschichte Europas? - In welchem Verhältnis stehen europäische Integration und Desintegration? - Was leitet sich daraus für die zukünftige Geschichtsschreibung Europas ab? - Welche Zukunftsperspektiven werden für die Europäische Union gesehen? Schwerpunkte des Werkes bilden Vorläufer und Wahrnehmungen von Europa-Ideen sowie die Unterschiede und Verschiedenheiten von Europa, ergänzt um kritische Reflexionen der Geschichte der europäischen Einigung nach 1945 sowie Integration und Desintegration. Ferner widmen sich die Autorinnen und Autoren Europas Geschichts-, Gegenwarts- und Zukunftsperspektiven. Bereichert wird der interdisziplinäre Doppelband durch Mitwirkung prominenter Akteure, d. h. Diplomaten, Experten und Politiker aus Deutschland, Österreich und Europa, die allesamt von europäischen Institutionen berichten.

The articles of this comprehensive edited volume offer a multidisciplinary, global and comparative approach to the history of empires. They analyze their ends over a long spectrum of humankind’s history, ranging from Ancient History through Modern Times. As the main guiding question, every author of this volume scrutinizes the reasons for the decline, the erosion, and the implosion of individual empires.

All contributions locate and highlight different factors that triggered or at least supported the ending or the implosion of empires. This overall question makes all the contributions to this volume comparable and allows to detect similarities, differences as well as inconsistencies of historical processes.
