Erinnerung und Gedächtnis
(2010)
Gedächtnis und Erinnerung gehören heute zu den Schlüsselkategorien der Geistes- und Sozialwissenschaften.Gedächtnis und Erinnerung sind geläufige Begriffe, die in der Regel nur dahingehend differenziert werden, als dass das Gedächtnis die Erinnerung erst ermöglicht. Das Gedächtnis beinhaltet in diesem Sinne eine virtuelle und manifeste Infrastruktur. Menschen brauchen dabei nicht nur ein Gehirn als organische Basis, sondern sie sind in hohem Masse auf externe Erinnerungsspeicher unterschiedlichster Art angewiesen, um jene fragilen Bewusstseinsakte zu erzeugen, die gemeinhin Erinnerung genannt werden.
Migration has been a constant feature of human history – "homo migrans" has existed ever since "homo sapiens". Moving away from the traditional nation-based dichotomy of emigration – immigration, the less specific term migration allows for many possible trajectories, time spans, directions and destinations. It can be temporary or long-term, voluntary or forced. It can occur in stages or in cycles, and can be mono-directional or more varied. Generally speaking, however, human migration can be defined as crossing the boundary of a political or administrative unit for a certain minimum period.
There is no single answer to the question: What is intellectual history? Commenting in the mid-1980s on two recent volumes dedicated to the sub-discipline's methods and perspectives, John Pocock wryly remarked: "I recommend reading them, but after doing so myself, I am persuaded that whatever 'intellectual history' is, and whatever 'the history of ideas' may be, I am not engaged in doing either of them." In the United States, in many respects the heartland of intellectual history, the scholarly community has grappled with the ambiguous relationship of "intellectual history" to "the history of ideas" for almost a century.
