Elbel Petr (Hg.) Österreichische Archive: Geschichte und Gegenwart [Austrian Archives: Past and Present]. Brno: Masaryk University Press 2019, ISBN: 978-80-210-9466-6

Today’s Austria is a relatively small state. However, until 1918 Austria-Hungary was an important superpower. Therefore, due to their size and historical importance, Austrian archives are amongst the richest in Europe. This joint publication gives a brief overview over the past and present of the Austrian archives and looks in detail at 16 institutions: the four divisions of the Austrian State Archive as well as selected provincial, local, university, church and private archives. The authors of each chapter are or have been archivists of the mentioned archives. The book is addressed in particular to students of history and archival studies as well as professional historians and archivists from all of the successor states of the Austrian monarchy.

We are happy to present you the recording of our "global book talk" on May 29th, 2020: Travelling Microbes in Central Europe (with Katharina Kreuder-Sonnen and Katrin Steffen). Katharina’s book [*] served us as the point of departure for a discussion of the potential of the material turn for the history of science in Central and Eastern Europe, but also about past and present entanglement of state and hygiene discourses.

Call for papers: Die Empirik des Blicks. Bedeutungszuweisungen wissenschaftlicher Expeditionsfotografie. Deutsches Schifffahrtsmuseum Bremerhaven, 3.‐4. Dezember 2020. Deadline 15. Juli 2020

Auf Forschungsexpeditionen des 19. und frühen 20. Jahrhunderts entstanden zahlreiche fotografische Dokumentationen und Bildersammlungen. Weit über eine Heroisierung in der Öffentlichkeit hinausgehend sind diese bildlichen Quellen als Datenerhebungen der modernen empirischen Wissenschaften im Verwissenschaftlichungsprozess des 19. Jahrhunderts zu verstehen und zeigen die Bedeutung bildlicher Überlieferungen im „Visuellen Jahrhundert“ auf. Ab den 1850er Jahren erfolgte das wissenschaftliche Sammeln und Erheben von „Daten“ vielfach über abbildende/bildlich registrierende Verfahren. Beispielsweise „verzeichneten“ und erfassten Naturforschende die spezifischen Erscheinungsformen von Flora und Fauna in Zeichnung und Fotografie und entwickelten wissenschaftsbegleitende fotografische Praxen. Fotografische Aufzeichnungen wurden in den unterschiedlichsten Disziplinen Relevanz zugesprochen, darunter Meteorologie, Glaziologie, Botanik, Biologie, Geologie, Geodäsie, Archäologie, Europäischer und Außereuropäischer Ethnologie und Anthropologie.

Auch die Kunstgeschichte erkannte die Chance wissenschaftlicher Fotokampagnen. In dieser visuellen Vermessung der Erde und der menschlichen Kulturen durch Expeditions- und Forschungsreisen spielte zudem das Schiff eine große Rolle, ermöglichte es den Forschenden das Erreichen ihrer Einsatzgebiete, diente vielfach aber auch als Laboratorium wissenschaftlicher Praxis.

Der Workshop hat einen interdisziplinären Austausch in der Schnittmenge von Fotografie und Wissenschaftsgeschichte zum Ziel. Hierbei soll ein bildwissenschaftlicher, kunsthistorischer Ansatz, der vor allem an der Eigengesetzlichkeit fotografischer Bilder als autonome Zeichensprache interessiert ist, durch eine Analyse zugehöriger, bedeutungsgenerierender, in Wert setzender Narrative und Ego-Dokumente ergänzt werden, in denen fotografische Aufzeichnungen durch textliche Überlieferungen spezifiziert und in einen bestimmten Sinnzusammenhang gestellt wurden.

Karolina Wasilewska, Cyfrodziewczyny. Pionierki polskiej informatyki [Digital Girs: Women pioneers of Polish informatics], Warszawa: Krytyka Polityczna 2020. ISBN: 978-83-66232-87-7

[polski ponizej]

Karolina Wasielewska, a journalist and author of the blog "Girls Gone Tech", gathers herstories of informatics. Women were the midwives of informatics in Poland. The author managed to reach Polish women who constructed computers, created programming languages or wrote first applications, and later computerized, among others the National Library and the Ministry of Justice. Let the lives of those women who have solved unsolvable problems, and whose courage in professional life translated into decisions taken in private matters, be the inspiration for their successors.

---------------

Karolina Wasielewska, dziennikarka i autorka bloga „Girls Gone Tech”, w „Cyfrodziewczynach” przypomina informatyczne herstorie. Akuszerkami informatyki w Polsce były kobiety. Autorce udało się dotrzeć do Polek, które konstruowały komputery i tworzyły języki programowania czy pierwsze aplikacje użytkowe, a później komputeryzowały m.in. Bibliotekę Narodową i Ministerstwo Sprawiedliwości. Niech życiorysy tych kobiet, które rozwiązywały nierozwiązywalne problemy, a ich odwaga w życiu zawodowym przenosiła się na decyzje podejmowane w sprawach prywatnych, będą inspiracją dla ich następczyń.

Call for Papers: for a Special Apparatus Publication: Pandemic Movies in Central and Eastern European Film and Television. Deadlines for abstracts: 19 June 2020

Guest edited by Raoul Eshelman, Mario Slugan, and Denise J. Youngblood

In the wake of the global outbreak of Covid-19, interest in films thematizing pandemics has surged in entertainment press and on streaming services alike with advice on which pandemic movies to watch during lockdown proliferating. Contagion (Steven Soderbergh, 2011), a film about an outbreak of an airborne virus not unlike Covid-19, has crystalized as the most popular among pandemic films by topping the HBO Now most viewed list in the first two weeks of March and currently sitting at number 38 of the IMDb most popular movies list. But there are, of course, other movies that have thematized pandemics. Within the regional remit of our journal, Variola vera (Goran Marković, 1982), a film depicting the last major outbreak of smallpox in Europe (i.e., Yugoslavia), comes immediately to mind. We can even track the subject matter to as far back as Die Pest in Florenz/The Plague in Florence (Otto Rippert, 1919) tackling the first outbreaks of the Black Death in 1348. Most recently, the Thessaloniki Film Festival commissioned 22 filmmakers to produce shorts about the lockdown experience. In order to understand how pandemics have been depicted on screen hitherto and what changes might the outbreak bring, Apparatus invites contribution for a Special Issue focusing on Pandemic Movies in Central and Eastern European Film and Television. Topics may include but are by no means limited to: - Close readings of specific films thematizing pandemics

- Common features of pandemic movies

- Relationship of pandemic films to established genres (horror, science-fiction, historical drama, etc.)

- Are pandemic movies a genre, subgenre, cycle?

- History of pandemic movies

- Thematizing pandemics in documentaries vs. in fiction film

- Pandemics in medical films

- Representational challenges that pandemics pose

- Ethical issues in representing pandemics

- Pandemic movies and national outbreaks

- Cultural importance of films thematizing pandemics

- The changes to national and regional film industries (production, distribution, exhibition) during and following the Covid-19 outbreak

- Responses of film festivals to Covid-19 The publication is scheduled for publication in late 2020/early 2021.

Please send abstracts of 300 to 500 words (in English, German or Russian), together with the title, up to 5 references, a short bio, contact details and institutional affiliation to the guest editors of the Special Issue of Apparatus at helpapparatus@gmail.com for initial selection. Although we ask for abstracts in English German or Russian, in line with the Apparatus policy to publish articles in all the languages of Central and Eastern Europe articles selected based on abstracts may be in any languages of the region. Selected articles should be 6000-8000 words in length. They will undergo an editorial and double-blind peer reviewed process before final acceptance. (Selection of an abstract for development into a full article does not guarantee publication.) Deadlines for abstracts: 19 June 2020 Notifications of acceptance: 29 June 2020 Deadlines for full articles: 2 October 2020
