How a Female Author’s Creativity
Captured Society’s Attention
Lecture by Stefanie Kolbusa as part of the Baraza la Kiswahili la Berlin
KUBWAKU NA KURAMBAA: JINSI UMAHIRI WA MTUNZI WA KIKE
ULIVYOTINGISHA JAMII
Katika miaka ya 1980-1997 baadhi ya nyimbo za taarab zilitingisha Afrika Mashariki.
Hasa nyimbo za taarab zilizoimbwa na mwimbaji maarufu Malika zilivuma sana. Hizo nyimbo zilitungwa na mtunzi Khulaita Muhashamy, mzaliwa wa Mombasa. Kinyume na watunzi wa kike wengine waliotunga majumbani kwao tu, Khulaita aliamua kujitokeza hadharani. Nyimbo zake zilipendwa na Waswahili popote walipo duniani. Khulaita alitazama jamii yake kwa makini sana na hakuogopa kusema aliyoyaona. Hasa udhalimu na unyonge ulimwudhi kiasi kwamba hakuweza kunyamaza kimya. Alifahamu nguvu na udhaifu wa hadhira yake. Hali hiyo ilimwezesha kuwagusa wasikilizaji.

Time and the Limits of the
Political: Anti-historical Excursions from South Asia
2nd Berlin Southern
Theory Lecture
by Prathama Banerjee (CSDS Delhi, India)
Southern theory, as Banerjee
understands it, is a task of anti-historical thinking. While it is made
possible by historical critique, decolonial and postcolonial (without
which there is no emancipation from the prison of the present), it
inevitably shades off into a moment of creative play with time and
chronology, bringing together pasts and possibilities in diverse
counter-intuitive reassemblages, against the
grain and push of historical logic. This presentation is a modest effort
in that direction. Here she discusses diverse mythologies and
philosophies of time in South Asia, moving across disciplinary boundaries
between the ancient, the medieval and the modern.
Prathama Banerjee is a historian and a professor at the Centre for the
Study of Developing Societies in Delhi.

The Lawful Empire. Legal Change
and Cultural Diversity in Late Tsarist Russia
Book presentation by Stefan B.
Kirmse (ZMO)
This book combines an analysis of
law and legal practice with a discussion of autocratic rule over a
multicultural empire. It is as much about new legal institutions and
their implications for an emerging rule of law in late tsarist Russia as
it is about equality and cultural diversity.
Commented by Tatiana Borisova (Higher School of
Economics, St. Petersburg) and Nancy Kollmann
(Stanford University).
The event will be held via Zoom. Please register at registration@zmo.de

Margret Liepach 10/03/1940
– 20/11/2020
ZMO mourns the death of its former
colleague Margret Liepach. "Many of you
know Margret as a warmhearted person, who
edited with great care the ZMO publication series from 1996 to 2005. We
remember her as an absolutely indispensible
colleague for the notorious applications to the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG), which she finally
edited and put together into one manuscript", writes
Katrin Bromber in an obituary.
