A European Memory
An examination of the role of history and memory is vital in order to better understand why the grand design of a United Europe-with a common foreign policy and market yet enough diversity to allow for cultural and social differences-was overwhelmingly turned down by its citizens. The authors argue that this rejection of the European constitution was to a certain extent a challenge to the current historical grounding used for further integration and further demonstrates the lack of understanding by European bureaucrats of the historical complexity and divisiveness of Europe's past. A critical European history is therefore urgently needed to confront and re-imagine Europe, not as a harmonious continent but as the outcome of violent and bloody conflicts, both within Europe as well as with its Others. As the authors show, these dark shadows of Europe's past must be integrated, and the fact that memories of Europe are contested must be accepted if any new attempts at a United Europe are to be successful.

Cultural Heritage in Europe
This article deals with the often problematic connection between European and ethnological world images. After a short retrospective on the ethnological heritage, it elaborates current social and political problems and determines the ethnological position in these discourses. Finally, it recommends the imagination of an 'ethnology of the present', which increasingly focuses its lens on the European margins, across boundaries, and on movements: ethnology as a 'social ethnography' of the culturally vagrant, ambivalent and fluid.

Prof. Dr. Stefan Beck 1960 - 2015
As early as 1935, the Polish physician and immunologist Ludwik Fleck wrote. And he also describes a core element of Stefan Beck's understanding of scientific knowledge production: science as a social process without interest in the heroic or ingenious gesture, as consistent work in the thinking collective and in an institution in which Stefan never got tired of thinking comfort and theory communities irritate. Thus he began in his Tübingen years of study at the Ludwig-Uhland-Institute 1985-1992, continued there as a PhD student funded by the Protestant Study and then finally in 1997 as coordinator of a graduate program at the TU Darmstadt, in which technology philosophers, historians and - sociologists collaborated. In the end, he always understood his professorship at the Institute of European Ethnology at the HumboldtUniversität zu Berlin: as an institutionalized duty, as an opportunity to ask questions and think later.

\Turns\ und \Tunes\: Zur Historizität ethnologischen Wissens
In the wake of the \"cultural turn\" in cultural and social sciences, our relation to the \"space of history\" has changed significantly in recent years: on the one hand, ethnographic-anthropological studies are more and more oriented towards present-day topics and \"actualistic\" issues, on the other hand and at the same time we are increasingly looking for historical references in order to \"legitimize\" our concepts, to \"authenticate\" our findings and to \"moralize\" our positions. \"Historicity\" therefore seems in danger of being reduced to the \"symbolic\" capital and potential of our discipline - a discipline that used to justify its recommencement after 1945 and its reorientation after 1968 explicitly with the \"historicization\" of its social and cultural perspective. My text is intended to encourage a more active engagement with this change in historical perspective in the discipline as well as in society, a more accurate registration of changes in the social knowledge of history and a renewed understanding of our relation to the space of history as central negotiation mode of the presence. This is above all important in order to oppose tendencies of fundamentalism, re-biologization and de-secularization of postcolonial world views more informed and more vigorously.

Iconic Remembering and Religious Icons
This chapter offers some preliminary thoughts on the issue of European remembrance. These thoughts are especially concerned with two developments: firstly, national and European forms of collective remembrance after 1989, which could be described as having conventional formats; and, secondly, newer tendencies of globalisation and fundamentalisation in memory politics. In the past few years, these latter tendencies have also come from within Europe, where they have become visible in new cultural formats, often religious ones. My impression and my hypothesis is as follows: we are dealing with a new and fundamental ‘iconic turn’ in visual politics, or the politics of
