A book by ECLA of Bard faculty member Irit Dekel was published this summer by Palgrave Macmillan.
Mediation at the Holocaust Memorial in Berlin offers a novel approach to the memorial and its study through a focus on performances. Based on extensive ethnographic research, and drawing on dramaturgic theory, memory studies and theories of the public sphere, the book offers a fresh theorization of memorial experience by analyzing interaction between guides, memorial workers and visitors.
Moving away from of postmemory and post trauma approaches, the book recognizes the precariousness and variation of memory work done at the memorial through the ways visitors engages with the act of remembrance rather than with its object, namely the history of Jewish persecution and the Holocaust. This engagement explores how visitors present and perform their 'moral career' at the site, whose codes have been shaped by knowledge about and visits in this and other sites of Holocaust remembrance.

At the beginning of September, several Romanian cities have been the stage for continuous civil manifestations against the largest open-cast gold mine in Europe, planned by the local government and a Canadian mining company around the village of Rosia Montana. Titled Romania's struggle for democracy is encapsulated in a village, Claudia's article describes these protests as an expression of democracy. The piece appeared in the September 5 issue of The Guardian and is available here.
Claudia shares her motivation behind this piece: "When the September 1 mobilization for Rosia Montana was called, I understood simply that this would be big, and the following days only confirmed this. The struggle for Rosia Montana is Romania's struggle to defend the commons, it is Romania's Gezi in a way, no wonder people in the streets refer to Turkey. There is, I feel, a sense that if we save Rosia Montana we might begin to rebuild our dignity, our trust in ourselves as a society and people, that we might have a chance after all." Claudia currently lives in Warsaw and is a freelance reporter, writing for the news agency Inter Press Service and for OpenDemocracy among others.

The essay "Transcendentalism and the Power of Philology: Herder, Schleiermacher, and the Transformation of Biblical Scholarship in New England" written by faculty member Ulrike Wagner was just published in the quarterly journal Amerikastudien / American Studies (Issue 57.3).
In this essay, Prof. Wagner points to a number of critical works that have drawn attention to the fundamental impact of Johann Gottfried Herder's and Friedrich Schleiermacher's theological thinking on the formation of the transcendentalist movement. The notion of religious renewal channeled through German biblical scholarship broke new ground, so the argument always goes, by relocating the source for finding divine evidence from the letter into the interior realms to the individual's soul and consciousness. Drawing on rarely discussed and unexamined reviews, writings, and translations by transcendentalist critics such as George Ripley and James Marsh, among others, Prof. Wagner claims that such generalized assessments occlude essential characteristics and functions of the model of spiritual restoration that American critics work out with Herder and Schleiermacher.
Amerikastudien / American Studies is the journal of the German Association for American Studies, founded in 1956. It is dedicated to interdisciplinary and transnational perspectives and embraces the diversity and dynamics of a dialogic and comparatist understanding of American Studies. The table of contents of the most recent issue is available here. Meta: Subject(s): Bard College Berlin | Institutes(s): Bard College Berlin | |
