Der Vortrag beschäftigt sich mit der Situation der Chinesen, die seit den 1880er Jahren über den Seeweg in die Häfen der westlichen Welt kamen. Es stellen sich dabei die Fragen, wie die Lebensumstände dieser Menschen waren, wo und was sie arbeiteten und wie sie lebten. Vor allem aber soll der Umgang der Behörden und der Bevölkerung mit dieser vergleichsweise kleinen Einwanderungsgruppe aufgezeigt und die dahinter stehende Fremdheitskonstruktion beleuchtet werden.

Lars Amenda ist Mitarbeiter am Lehrstuhl für Neueste Geschichte an der Universität Osnabrück und seit 2009 assoziiertes Mitglied des Instituts für Migrationsforschung und interkulturelle Studien. 2004 promovierte er über die chinesische Migration und ihre Wahrnehmung in Hamburg 1897-1972.

Dies ist ein Vortrag der Reihe: Migration, Integration und kulturelle Vielfalt in der Geschichte

ISHA Seminars??? How does it work??? Click “Read more”

1. Application

The section organizing a conference/seminar announces an application period which is usually ca. 2 months before the respective event and lasts for 1-2 weeks. At the same time, the topic of the conference/seminar, the program and the workshops are announced, and an application form is provided at the section’s homepage.

2. Preparation

Shortly after the application period is over, the participants are made public and get to know if they got into the workshop of their choice.
Usually you have to confirm your attendance by handing in an abstract of the presentation you want to give at the conference/seminar four weeks before the resp. event takes place. After that you book the flights, buy the tickets and prepair your presentation.

3. The Conference/Seminar

The first day of an ISHA event is reserved for the arrivals, so you don’t need to come a day in advance. In the evening there’s an ice-breaking party where you can get to know everybody else.
The program of each seminar is different, but they all have roughly the same structure:
On 2 or 3 days there are workshops in the morning (sometimes in the afternoon), the other half of the day is free or there is some kind of an activity like a city tour, a visit to a museum etc.
Each conference and seminar contains a day trip to a nearby city, castle etc., sometimes also to several surrounding sites.
In the evenings there’s usually at least one pub crawl and at least one party in addition to the famous National Drinks Party on the last evening. Each section brings a drink (usually spirits) from their country, and this is the opportunity to try all the other countries’ national drinks.
The last day is reserved for sleeping in, hugs and departures.
Often, there are additional, optional activities or just a free afternoon to explore the city on your own. At each summer seminar, there is a general assembly of all the ISHA officials and at least one person from each attending section, where organizational things are discussed and announced, further events are planned and officials for the next term are elected. At all the other ISHA events this is replaced by the similar, but smaller state of affairs.

At the workshops, there’s always one or two workshop leaders who have the role of a moderator. They are the ones who contact you in advance, who can help you to find a topic and who read your abstract. There are 5 to 10 people in each workshop, each one gives a presentation and usually there’s plenty of time to discuss thoroughly. At the end of each conference/seminar there’s a so called “Final Conclusions”, where each workshop presents its outcome to the other attendees. Usually this is done in a humorous way, a tiny play, a staged discussion etc. Sometimes, it’s also done at a huge round table with all the interested participants, where everybody gets to discuss about all the topics and where all the attendees try to find a conclusion for the whole conference/seminar.

Die Evangelischen Akademie Arnoldshain, der Kreisau-Initiative Berlin e.V und die Jugendbegegnungsstätte Anne Frank führen Ende September ein Austauschprojekt für junge Erwachsene im Alter von 19-28 Jahren durch.
Dabei geht es darum, sich mit Menschen aus deutschen, ukrainischen, polnischen, jüdisch-israelischen und arabisch-palästinensischen Erinnerungsgemeinden auszutauschen und sich so mit den eigenen und den Narrativen der „Anderen“ auseinanderzusetzen, wobei „Leerstellen“ in den eigenen nationalen Narrativen bewusster werden sollen.
