The conference on "Russia and East Europe in Transition," held at Middlebury College in May 1994 under the auspices of the Center for Russian and East European Studies, provided the impetus for this volume. The two-day gathering was made possible by a Title VI grant from the U.S. Department of Education and the Jessica Swift Endowed Lecture Fund of Middlebury College, for which we are most grateful. Apart from the contributors to this volume, the conference participants included: George Bellerose, Raymond E. Benson, Valery Chalidze, Michael Claudon, David Colander, Guntram H. Herb, Lars Lib, Tamar Mayer, Noah M.J. Pickus, Sunder Ramaswamy, David A. Rosenberg, and Mitchell Smith. Acting as discussants, panel chairs, or interested participants, their efforts, individually and collectively, have made this a better book and their contribution to this project is gratefully acknowledged.

The Search For New Political, Economic, And Security Systems

Russia And Eastern Europe After Communism

"Portugal wird der Welt Neue Welten zeigen" - so charakterisierte der Dichter Luís de Camões in seinem 1572 erschienenen Werk "Die Lusiaden" die portugiesischen Entdeckungsreisen. Ausstellung und Katalog beleuchten die bedeutende Rolle Portugals in der Frühen Neuzeit, die weltweiten Auswirkungen der großen Seeexpeditionen wie auch ihre Rückwirkungen auf Europa. Unterschiedliche Zivilisationen in Afrika, Asien, Amerika und Europa kamen um die Wende vom 15. zum 16. Jahrhundert erstmals in einen direkten und dauerhaften Kontakt. Handelsprodukte, Rohmaterialien, Tiere und Pflanzen, aber auch Weltbilder und religiöse Vorstellungen, Sprachen, Ideen und technische Entwicklungen begannen um den Globus zu wandern. Namhafte internationale Autoren und eine opulente Bebilderung ermöglichen einen umfassenden Einblick in diese Epoche großer Veränderungen und Innovationen.

The Ethnologisches Museum in Berlin holds more than 6,500 historical black-and-white photographs from Latin America. These images were produced between 1868 and 1936 and mainly depict ethnological and archaeological motifs, although some portray views of urban or natural landscapes. The contributions to this volume focus on particular series from this extensive archive. In doing so, they illustrate the enormous potential for research inherent within such “repositories of memory”, represent a diverse set of approaches and provide varied interpretations of historical photographs. The contributions focus on the contexts in which these images were produced and provide interpretations of the intentions behind some of the photographs. Moreover, they analyse the acquisition of these photographs and the manner in which they have been preserved and disseminated. Additionally, the contributions highlight the manners in which the images have been used and the impact of some of the formats in which the photographs were published. This richly illustrated volume is complemented by the digital reproductions available online at http://www.smb-digital.de/.
