Working paper
Bridging the postcolonial political-economy divide. Towards a Theoretical Framework.
(2020-04)
Points of contact between the postcolonial studies’ field of research and international political economy (IPE) are rare. On the one hand, one can note a reluctance in postcolonial scholarship to open up for economic analysis. On the other hand, IPE literature has been somewhat resistant to take up the postcolonial critique. This paper offers an interdisciplinary approach by merging the two discrete disciplines on poststructuralist grounds, suggesting principles for a postcolonial-political economy approach and ...

The Holy Land Geography as Emotional Experience
(De Gruyter, 2021-06-08)
In this paper,we evaluate various medieval cartographic and diagrammatic representations of the Holy Land. The analysis focuses particularly on the religious dimensions of these representations and their potential for making pilgrimage accessible, creating religious symbolism and exciting spiritual emotions. The leading hypothesis is that medieval mapmakers introduced special technical features into maps and similar cartographic representations to deepen religious emotions and to stimulate intense sensory responses ...

Mittelalter erschließen
(2021-07-15)
Research communication has been gaining public attention in recent years. Therefore, medievalists also need to focus on the transfer of their research topics to the public both within and outside the university. Based on current political demands calling for a change in communication culture, the article first of all deals theoretically with two different concepts of research communication, by distinguishing between forms of translation and those of popularization. Numerous public events, exhibitions, and cooperative ...

Dynamiken in der Kartographie um 1500
(De Gruyter, 2021)
Auf der Suche nach dem ‚richtigen‘ kartographischen Wissen prallten im 15. Jahrhundert recht gegensätzliche Vorstellungen aufeinander: Die praktischen Erfahrungen von Seeleuten standen gegen die Anschauungen der gelehrten Kosmographen, die neuen Entdeckungen des Christoph Kolumbus gegen die alten Vermessungen des Claudius Ptolemäus, mündlich vorgetragene Erklärungen gegen schriftlich tradierte Einsichten, die Erweiterungen des geographischen Weltbilds gegen allgemein bekannte Traditionen, lokale Verfahrensweisen gegen ...

Von der Reise zur Karte und zurück
(De Gruyter, 2021)
This essay concentrates on the creative potential of mapping for the subsequent processing of travels, experiences, and descriptions as well as on the associated cultural techniques, such as copying, imitating, quoting, de-contextualizing, re-contextualizing, and transplantation. It focuses on the transformation from travel to map and from the map back to the space traveled. Based on examples in which travel knowledge and cartographic skills are intertwined, the essay illuminates the wide spectrum of possibilities ...

Geschichtswissenschaft
(2021-07-15)
Die mittelalterliche Geschichte ist derzeit noch relativ fester Bestandteil des allgemeinen Geschichtsunterrichts, obwohl die zeitliche Differenzierung durch die Kompetenzorientierung in den Lehrplänen immer weiter zurückgedrängt wird. Anders als rein chronologisch-inhaltliche Lehrpläne bietet die Kompetenzorientierung jedoch grundsätzlich gute Möglichkeiten, ‚mittelalterliches‘ Material einzubauen. In den meisten geisteswissenschaftlichen Fakultäten existiert in der Regel – mit einigen Ausnahmen – eine eigene ...

Ordoliberalism Out of Order? The Fragile Constitutionality of Greek Austerity (Part Two)
(2020-06)
This is the second part of a two-part post. The first part, available here, considered the historical background of the concept of constitutional order and its relation to the ordoliberal project. Judicial independence was examined in parallel with central bank independence, with each understood as a means of insulating policy from social and democratic pressures and also as a means of enacting and maintaining fiscal discipline and market-conforming order. It also included some preliminary observations on the relation ...

Ordoliberalism Out of Order? The Fragile Constitutionality of Greek Austerity (Part One)
(2020-05)
The architecture of the European Monetary Union (EMU) has often been understood to be built on a fundamentally ordoliberal framework. [1] The precise characteristics of what constitutes an ordoliberal framework are often not clarified, and they have been widely debated in contemporary scholarship. But a crucial characteristic of ordoliberalism, and one that has received comparatively little attention, concerns the importance of grounding economic policy in a “constitutional order”: ordoliberal political economy insists ...
