Prof. Reinhart K\u00f6\u00dfler, visiting professor of sociology at the University of Education in Freiburg and former director of the Arnold Bergstraesser Institute, spoke on the topic of \"German colonialism \u2013 the past in the present\". Reinhart K\u00f6\u00dfler has published various articles on the topic, such as \"V\u00f6lkermord \u2013 und was dann? Die Politik deutsch-namibischer Vergangenheitsbearbeitung\" (Genocide \u2013 and then what? The Politics of German-Namibian Dealing with the Past) (Frankfurt am Main 2017).<\/p>\n<p>Although Germany was officially a colonial power for only about 30 years, this period had a strong influence on its political, economic, and cultural developments. The low level of public awareness in Germany about its former role as a colonial power contrasts with the memories in some of its former colonies. \"The lecture will briefly introduce the topic of German colonialism and then focus on the contrast between memories related to the colonial experience in the exemplary case of Namibia,\" elaborates Prof. Daniel Bendix, on whose initiative Prof. K\u00f6\u00dfler is visiting Friedensau. \"The postcolonial initiatives form another theme of the lecture. Not only current issues such as renaming streets or toppling monuments will be focused on, but also current Namibian-German relations in particular.\"<\/p>\n<p>It was an internal university lecture in English, Prof. Daniel Bendix moderated.<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=\"1\/3\"][vc_customSingleimage ct_image=\"22718\"][\/vc_customSingleimage][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row][vc_column width=&#8221;2\/3&#8243;][vc_column_text]For Monday, December 13, 2021, the SChool of Social Work invited to a lecture in the Barn.
