Thanks to Jonah Berger at EUI for writing this review of our section in Bonn!
It was great to bring together people from our Arbeitsgemeinschaft on historical landscape research and as always a pleasure to work with @lucowitz.bsky.social and Solveig Vanniez-Salvesen.
Kein Publikum, kein Problem?
Am Mittwoch soll es endgültig besiegelt werden: Der Forschungsausschuss schließt die Türen. Union und SPD verteidigen den Schritt mit Verweis auf Arbeitsfähigkeit und Ordnung. Die Grünen sprechen von mangelnder Transparenz. Im Wiarda-Blog: www.jmwiarda.de/blog/2025/11...
Cover of the book The Pink Scar by Thomas R. Dunn. Its centrepiece is a pink triangle surrounded by smaller pink triangles.
I just came across The Pink Scar (2025), which — both in its title and its argument — strongly recalls The Badge of Injury, a work by my friend @sebboo.bsky.social /Sébastien Tremblay that appeared two years earlier. It’s an important and fascinating topic that truly deserves attention.
Der Addendum finde ich peinlich aber I'll take what I can take!
Danke an die Kolleginnen die für den anderen Antrag sich engagieren haben
Im Namen aller cis-männlichen Historiker entschuldige ich mich für die Absurdität, dass man sich im Jahr 2025 über solche "TrAdITionS" immernoch streiten muss
Jeden Tag bis zum Historikertag eine Fachsektion! Heute:
Micropolitics of Landscape. Power and Control in the Invisible Spaces (1750–1950s)

Was wir glaubten, worum es bei Wissenschaft als Beruf als #IchBinHanna gehe:
Forschung.
Lehre.
Worum es wirklich geht:
Immer wieder nach je anderen Kriterien die eigenen Unterlagen neu zusammenstellen & formatieren, um Anforderungen von Bewerbungs-, Antrags- & Evaluationsverfahren zu genügen.
Kleiner Reminder, dass der Koalitionsvertrag der Bundesregierung Reform des #WissZeitVG bis Mitte 2026 verspricht! Da muss also sehr bald was passieren. Durch das BVerfG-Urteil zum #BerlHG gewinnt das Ganze an zusätzlicher Dringlichkeit. Wissenschaft als Beruf in D braucht Perspektiven! #IchBinHanna
Die CDU ist eine Verbotspartei, die ideologisch alles, womit sie nicht einverstanden ist, als Ideologie darstellt.
Klientelpolitik. Stammtischpolitik.
Guter Zeitpunkt, um einen Blogbeitrag erneut zu veröffentlichen, den ich mit @smittermeier.bsky.social verfasst habe.

I used to watch Terra X every sunday as a kid, so it was a real pleasure to join an episode of this ZDF documentary series as an expert. A fascinating dive into the hidden histories of Venice—on very (very) popular ground. Watch my sixty seconds in three bits here: www.zdf.de/play/dokus/t...
The cover of Sébastien Tremblay, A Badge of Injury.
My brilliant friend and colleague @sebboo.bsky.social Sébastien Tremblay presented his book A Badge of Injury on the New Books Network — sharp analysis, compellingly told, highly recommended! Go and listen, then go and read! 🎧📚

Tausende gingen auf die Straße, als Lübcke getötet wurde. Merz warf Linken nun trotzdem Nichtstun vor. Eine taz-Recherche zeigt: Er unternahm wohl selber nichts.

Highly recommended when you're interested in modernity as an emic category across diverse contexts; Kolland reveals its semantic indeterminacy and performative nature in both Western and non-Western intellectual circles.
