Jahrhundert. Im Mittelpunkt stehen Historische Museen aus dem deutschsprachigen Raum, deren exemplarische Untersuchung es erm{\"o}glicht, Formen, Praktiken und konzeptuelle Grundlagen von Geschichtsschreibung in den Blick zu nehmen. Ein zentrales Anliegen der Arbeit ist es, zu analysieren, wie materielle Objekte f{\"u}r das Erz{\"a}hlen von Geschichte genutzt wurden und genutzt werden k{\"o}nnen - ein Ansatz, der in den letzten Jahren im Zuge der „materiellen Wende" in den Kulturwissenschaften, etwa durch Neil MacGregor, besondere Aufmerksamkeit erfahren hat. Dar{\"u}ber hinaus wird die Vorstellung, dass Dinge eine Stimme haben, als eine historisch und kulturell verankerte „absolute Metapher" (Hans Blumenberg) untersucht. Mit einem Forschungsansatz, der metaphorologische, diskurs-, begriffs- und problemgeschichtliche Perspektiven vereint, adressiert die Arbeit auch ein diagnostiziertes Theoriedefizit Historischer Museen in der Gegenwart. Die Untersuchung zeigt, dass die Idee einer „Sprache der Dinge" bis in die Fr{\"u}he Neuzeit zur{\"u}ckreicht - eine Zeit, in der dieser Gedanke noch buchst{\"a}blich und nicht bloß metaphorisch verstanden wurde. Vor diesem Hintergrund bietet die Dissertation aufschlussreiche Erkenntnisse nicht nur f{\"u}r die Geschichte und die Theorien der Museen, sondern auch f{\"u}r eine Historische Epistemologie der Dinge in der Moderne.}, language = {de} } @phdthesis{BerriosR2022, author = {Berrios R., Vania}, title = {Sitios de Memoria en Santiago de Chile.

This thesis investigates consumer (co-)ownership in renewable energy as one possible solution to these challenges. It is argued that as such this instrument can contribute to expand renewable energy and bring the Energy Transition forward, both in countries that have been pioneering renewables, such as Germany, as well as in countries like Poland that have lagged behind. With the Clean Energy for All Europeans Package the EU for the first time lay the ground for "citizen energy" embracing both the role of citizens as active consumers on the energy markets and as co-investors. The transposition of new EU rules into national laws is pending and expected to take years. Therefore, it is crucial to determine the indispensable elements (1) of the most competitive consumer model and (2) of the facilitating framework that allows for the participation of heterogeneous actors without discriminating individual households. For that, this study examines conventional models for consumer (co-)ownership and investigates an innovative financing technique - the Consumer Stock Ownership Plan (CSOP) - to modernise established schemes while meeting prerequisites for the governance of energy communities introduced by the relevant European directives. Based on a detailed analysis of the energy policies, support systems, existing models for collective projects and the feasibility of the CSOP in Germany and Poland, this study presents a range of recommendations for national frameworks.  }, language = {en} } @phdthesis{MartinRussu2022, author = {Martin-Russu, Luana}, title = {Deforming the Reform Luana Martin-Russu: The Impact of Elites on Romania's Post-accession Europeanization}, publisher = {Springer}, address = {Cham}, isbn = {978-3-031-11081-8}, doi = {10.1007/978-3-031-11081-8}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:kobv:521-opus4-13027}, school = {Europa-Universit{\"a}t Viadrina Frankfurt}, pages = {XV, 211 Seiten}, year = {2022}, abstract = {This open access book presents an actor-centered study on Europeanization, based on the assumption that EU-driven reforms are highly dependent on the behavior and interests of the key domestic actors. Whether or not a state pursues a European and democratic agenda depends on domestic lawmakers. Further, political elites are pre-eminent in deciding on the nature, form and content of any law, and on the extent to which the rule of law is actually enforced. Elites can overcome structural or institutional barriers that stand in the way of achieving their goals. The empirical study on Romania presented here lends this observation a more profound meaning: it shows how, in contexts where high level corruption is the norm rather than the exception, self-serving political elites cannot be expected to genuinely commit to adopting sound anti-corruption reform. The book is an inquiry into the motivations that drive legislators to make particular decisions, but also into the structural characteristics and dynamics of the elite that invite a selfish rather than responsible and responsive behaviour.

Muslims have been labelled as primitive and dangerous people. They experience discrimination at university, workplace or in the public sphere on a daily basis. Hence, the problem of Muslim cultural integration and the manifestation of Islamophobia in Europe pose a threatening challenge to European stability. The stigmatisation of Muslims and their exclusion undermine the image of the EU as the protagonist of liberal values and mar its motto of 'unity in diversity'. So, it is prudent to assume that a great power such as the EU should step forward to tackle Islamophobia and support a multicultural way of living by promoting Muslim cultural integration into European societies. Keeping this in view, the proposed research aimed to analyse the EU's legal framework and the mechanism of its 'soft policy' towards the cultural integration of European Muslims and combating Islamophobia from an anthropological perspective. By means of qualitative research methods, the descriptive analysis of the EU policy and its anthropological impact on the Muslim cultural integration and combating Islamophobia led to the following results: The EU's policy in this field is more likely to be assessed as insufficient and ineffective. Nevertheless, it tends to support the cultural hybridisation of European Muslims. Such a policy choice results in moderate Islamophobia and protecting Muslims only against certain forms of discrimination.}, language = {en} } @phdthesis{Kamińska2022, author = {Kamińska, Magdalena}, title = {Platte ist nicht gleich Platte : Kooperation und Konkurrenz zwischen der DDR und Polen im Wohnungsbauwesen der 1970er Jahre}, publisher = {Harrassowitz}, address = {Wiesbaden}, isbn = {978-3- 447-11767-8}, doi = {10.11584/ips.10}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:kobv:521-opus4-12322}, school = {Europa-Universit{\"a}t Viadrina Frankfurt}, pages = {373}, year = {2022}, abstract = {Die Untersuchung ist der Zusammenarbeit zwischen der DDR und der Volksrepublik Polen im industriellen Wohnungsbauwesen der 1970er Jahre gewidmet.
