Ausstellungseröffnung

Der Kolonialrevisionismus oder „Kolonialismus ohne Kolonien“ zwischen 1918 und 1943 war sowohl eine politische Realität als auch Teil einer Phantasiegeschichte der kolonial Bewegten, die 25 Jahre lang von der Rückgewinnung eines Kolonialreichs überzeugt waren. Dieser Geschichte widmet sich die Ausstellung „Kolonialrevisionismus im Rheinland 1919-1943: Akteure, koloniale Propaganda und ‚Mobilisierung der Massen‘“, die zwischen dem 19. November und 10. Dezember 2025 im Foyer des Philosophikums gezeigt wird. 

Zur Eröffnung wird es kurze Beiträge von Prof. Bechhaus-Gerst, Dr. Fabian Fechner und Ulrike Lindner geben, anschließend laden wir zu einer Besichtigung der Ausstellung und einem kleinen Umtrunk im Foyer des Philosophikums ein.

Workshop and Special Issue on “Failed Futures”

Future Rural Africa Project C07 Health Futures examines public-health policy planning under changing concepts of social welfare and political legitimation. The project’s members recently contributed to the maiden issue of the Zamani Journal of African Historical Studies. The volume is co-edited by Ulrike Lindner and Frank Edward and features contributions by several Future Rural Africa researchers from various sub-projects. The volume seeks to analyse how different approaches to the future, as well as surprises and unintended side-effects, have informed the politics and practices of planning in Tanzania and its various regions.
