Das ZMO beteiligt sich mit einem Förderprojekt am
Wissenschaftsjahr 2022 – Nachgefragt!

cid:b39503f5-ee20-491d-a72b-f2531cc3c41a

Ganz nach dem Motto des diesjährigen Wissenschaftsjahrs bietet das Projekt des ZMO, Aller Anfang ist…? Ankommen multiperspektivisch – Schüler*innen forschen nach, Jugendlichen die Möglichkeit, selbst nachzufragen. In angeleiteten Workshops bekommen sie Instrumente an die Hand, um qualitative Interviews mit Zeitzeug*innen zu führen und zu reflektieren. So erlernen sie nicht nur Hintergrundwissen zu historischen und aktuellen Themen rund um das übergeordnete Thema "Ankommen", sondern auch, was die politischen und gesellschaftlichen Umstände für das alltägliche Leben ihrer Gegenüber bedeute(te)n.
Teilnehmen können Schulklassen ab der 9. Klasse aus ganz Deutschland. Ein Info-Workshop für Lehrkräfte findet am 24. März um 16 Uhr statt (online).
Das Projekt wird im Rahmen des Wissenschaftsjahrs 2022 vom Bundesministerium für Bildung und Forschung gefördert.

Attitudes of the Turkish Guest Workers towards Democratic Participation in Trade Unions and Companies: Evidence from the Migrant Associations in Cologne and Frankfurt until the Recruitment Ban (1973)
Lecture by Caner Tekin (Ruhr University Bochum) as part of The Historicity of Democracy Seminar.

cid:0762b26b-2b41-4975-a162-f1cb4d6027d8

The period (1961-1973) of the Turkish guest workers in Federal Germany is a topic of a large literature, but not much light has been shed on the disagreements and even conflicts among worker organisations about labour activism and democratic participation in trade unions and production processes. Based on the archival material published by the worker associations in Cologne and Frankfurt, the paper discusses the key attitudes raised within the early Turkish associations towards how to engage German trade unions and work councils at companies individually and in the organisational form.
The online seminar is free and open to the public upon registration:

The Practice of Affinity: Making Social Justice Work on Indonesia's Muslim Left
Lecture by Sophia Hornbacher-Schönleber (University of Cambridge) as part of the ZMO Colloquium

cid:3a062d62-93c1-4ee4-82cf-ec4439df510a

Decades after the violent extermination of communism in the mid-1960s, anything associated with it remains suspect in the mainstream public discourse of Indonesia. Yet, more recently, leftist ideas have received renewed interest among youth activists even if their expression is still a risky matter. Against this background, this paper examines an ethnographic case of a leftist Muslim (youth) activist group, engaged in solidarity with peasants affected by agrarian conflicts. Activist leaders put considerable ethical and intellectual work into synthesising Marxism and Islam by emphasising the affinities between central moral teloi, in particular social justice and liberation. This serves to legitimise their leftism, which is widely seen to be atheist and anti-Islamic, and to mobilise Muslim youths.
