        Die Pariser Weltausstellung 1889

        Bilder von der Globalisierung

        by Beat Wyss

        Die gelungenste Weltausstellung aller Zeiten war die Exposition Universelle de Paris von 1889. Weit über 32 Millionen Menschen besuchten das gigantische Spektakel mit knapp 62.000 Ausstellern aus 54 Nationen und 17 französischen Kolonien. Das Wahrzeichen der Schau, der Eiffelturm, blieb Paris bis heute erhalten. Einen legendären Ruf erwarb sich auch das offizielle, wöchentlich erscheinende Journal der Weltausstellung. Auf großformatigen, mit Stahlstichen üppig illustrierten Seiten berichtete es von den Sensationen vor Ort, von dreirädrigen selbstfahrenden Karren und ethnologischen Dörfern, in denen es Kamelreiten für die Kinder und Bauchtänze für die Herren gab. Der Schweizer Kunsthistoriker Beat Wyss hat die hundert originellsten Abbildungen ausgewählt. Sie illustrieren, wie die Expo den Erdball auf ein »Weltdorf« zwischen Trocadéro und Champ de Mars schrumpfen lässt, wie räumliche Distanzen abgebaut und dabei kulturelle Differenzen freigelegt werden. Das späte 20. Jahrhundert wird dafür den Begriff der Globalisierung prägen. Beat Wyss zeigt, wie die Gesellschaften seit dem 19. Jahrhundert mit diesem Prozeß umgehen und mit der Verwestlichung der Welt eine Orientalisierung des Westens einhergeht. Dem Leser als Flaneur über die Bühne der Weltausstellung wird klar: Die Expo 1889 belegt nicht nur den aktuellen Zustand einer Zeit, sondern bietet über die spektakuläre Anordnung ihrer Exponate den Vorschein einer gesellschaftlichen Utopie.

        Auch der Esel hat eine Seele.

        Frühe Texte und Kolumnen 1963-1971

        by Peter Bichsel, Beat Mazenauer

        Die erste der in vier Jahrzehnten zu einer Institution sui generis gewordenen P.S.-Kolumnen Peter Bichsels erschien 1975 im Zürcher Tages-Anzeiger. Doch bereits in den 1960er Jahren schrieb der Autor eine Fülle journalistischer Beiträge und Kolumnen zu Fragen der Zeit, die seine frühen Erfolge als literarischer Erzähler begleiteten. Beat Mazenauer hat sie in diesem Band versammelt – und einige erzählerische Erkundungen aus dieser Zeit dazugestellt. Peter Bichsel hat über die Jahre seine eigene Dialektik des Erkennens entwickelt. Sie gibt dem Widersprüchlichen Raum, und in der fortlaufenden Bewegung der Gedanken behält sie stets auch deren Scheitern im Auge. Bichsel, der fragt und infragestellt, ist, sagt Beat Mazenauer, ein Meister des Verzögerns »endgültiger« Antworten.

        Race and settler colonialism in Southern Rhodesia, 1919–79

        by Nicola Ginsburgh

        This book offers the first comprehensive history of white workers from the end of the First World War to Zimbabwean independence in 1980. It reveals how white worker identity was constituted, examines the white labouring class as an ethnically and nationally heterogeneous formation comprised of both men and women, and emphasises the active participation of white workers in the ongoing and contested production of race. White wage labourers' experiences, both as exploited workers and as part of the privileged white minority, offer insight into how race and class co-produced one another and how boundaries fundamental to settler colonialism were regulated and policed. Based on original research conducted in Zimbabwe, South Africa and the UK, this book offers a unique theoretical synthesis of work on gender, whiteness studies, labour histories, settler colonialism, Marxism, emotions and the New African Economic History.
