This book presents new developments in Scandinavian memory cultures related to World War II and the Holocaust by combining this focus with the perspective of history didactics. The theoretical framework of historical consciousness offers an approach linking individual and collective uses and re-uses of the past to the question how history can and should be taught. It also offers some examples of good practice in this field. The book promotes a teaching practice which, in taking the social constructivist notions of historical consciousness as a starting point, can contribute to self-reflecting and critical thinking – being fundamental for any democratic political culture.

Luxembourg - international financial center, European administrative center, destination country for immigration? This empirical study provides insights about a society that has hitherto largely eluded scientific investigation and observes the processes of identity construction in globalised conditions. The interdisciplinary team of authors exposes the processes of subjective appropriations and institutional attributions at work in the fields of languages, spaces, perceptions of self and others as well as everyday cultures, and identifies for the first time socio-cultural milieus in the Grand Duchy. The findings of the three-year research project uncover the ambivalences and dynamics of a multicultural and multilingual society.

The concept of 'worldmaking' is based on the idea that 'the world' is not given, but rather produced through language, actions, ideas and perception. This collection of essays takes a closer look at various hybrid and disparate worlds related to dance and choreography. Coming from a broad range of different backgrounds and disciplines, the authors inquire into the ways of producing 'dance worlds': through artistic practice, discourse and media, choreographic form and dance material. The essays in this volume critically reflect the predominant topos of dance as something fleeting and ephemeral – an embodiment of the Other in modernity. Moreover, they demonstrate that there is more than just one universal 'world of dance', but rather a multitude of interrelated dance worlds with more emerging every day.

Luxemburg ist ein multikultureller und mehrsprachiger Kleinstaat. Dort wirksame Werbung zu entwickeln, ist ein komplexer Vorgang. Zum ersten Mal werden in diesem Buch Rahmenbedingungen und Gestaltungselemente des Luxemburger Werbediskurses umfassend diskutiert und analysiert. Ausgehend von Jürgen Links Interdiskurs- und Normalismustheorie gibt die Untersuchung wichtige Hinweise auf die grundsätzliche Beziehung zwischen Werbung, Multikulturalität und kollektiven Identitäten und bietet so eine innovative Form der Anwendung literaturwissenschaftlicher Theorien auf kommunikationswissenschaftliche Kontexte.
