Greenland has been in the centre of global interest ever since the current American president mooted again that he was going to annex the island as the United States apparently needed it – a purely colonial statement echoing national chauvinist notions from periods considered well confined to history.

«This timely and important book provides a critical look at borders and belonging. It illuminates the tensions and contradictions that often exist within the logic of legal and political mechanisms that define regional and national boundaries and the reality of the lives lived within these constructions. The resulting essays are instructive, thought-provoking and sometimes very moving explorations of the making and meaning of historical and contemporary borderlands.» (Roisín Higgins, Professor of History, National University of Ireland Maynooth) «This volume is a masterful combination of analyses of feelings of belonging and identities following from changing state and cultural borders in the past and present and their challenges for living together. Its chapters analyse the intersections of people, territory, institutions and law from theoretical perspectives as well as through reflexive individual experience of social identity formation from below, often with a focus on their contestation in (re-)territorialized sub-state regions.» (Josef Marko, Professor of Comparative Public Law and Political Sciences, University of Graz) Both the Brexit process and the Covid pandemic have challenged the idealistic concept that borders in Europe and elsewhere were becoming ever more permeable. The idea that the world was becoming a global village has been seriously eroded. Meanwhile, the war in Ukraine has once again highlighted how power politics draws borders and shapes belongings. This has necessitated analyses of the nature of human-made borders and boundaries and the consequences for individuals and collectives who experience inclusion or exclusion on their feelings of belonging and their identities. Similarly, governmental policies within states have created majorities and minorities and have caused grave implications for those groups at the receiving end of legislation and state actions. This multidisciplinary volume comprises essays from researchers and academics, located in Europe and beyond, who investigate the effects of border creation, social and legal inclusivity and exclusion on individuals and collective identities in the past and today. Combining «from above» and «from below» perspectives, the volume explores macro-political processes affecting borders and senses of belonging as well as their intersections at the microlevel, including private views and individual responses to such types of processes.

Die zweite Hälfte des Weltkrieges nach der Kapitulation der 6. Armee in Stalingrad im Februar 1943 brachte den Krieg auch nach Südtirol. Der Alltag wird mehr und mehr von den Sorgen des täglichen Überlebens geprägt, und dies schlägt sich auch in den Korrespondenzen zwischen
Familienmitgliedern nieder, die kriegsbedingt getrennt sind. Das Kriegsende 1945 brachte letztendlich das Ende aller Illusionen auf einen Sieg des Deutschen Reiches, aber auch, in seiner Folge, das Ende jeder Hoffnung auf eine Wiederangliederung Südtirols an Österreich. Dies beschäftigte viele, die sich nach 1945 als Folge der Option außerhalb von Südtirol befanden und deren Weg in die alte Heimat nun versperrt war. Die Briefe von Soldaten aus alliierter Kriegsgefangenschaft – von Frankreich bis in die USA – erzählen Geschichten vom Überleben in der Fremde und von einer sich verändernden Sicht auf Südtirols Optionsentscheidungen von 1939 sowie eine beginnende Reflexion über die eigene Verantwortung. Die Wirren der Nachkriegszeit enden für die meisten Entheimateten nicht mit dem Pariser Vertrag von 1946, und die vielen Briefe und Feldpostkarten belegen eine allgemeine Orientierungslosigkeit des Einzelnen, aber auch der gesamten Gesellschaft, die in der traditonellen Geschichtsschreibung zur Nachkriegszeit bisher kaum beachtet wurde. Die Periode zwischen 1945 und 1950 ist ungleich facettenreicher als die politischen Daten Kapitulation, Gründung der SVP, Pariser Vertrag usw. suggerieren. Damit beschäftigt sich dieser dritte Band der Trilogie zur Sozialgeschichte Südtirols im 20. Jahrhundert, der anhand von Postkarten und Briefen, Tagebucheinträgen und Fotografien ein lebendiges Bild dieser turbulenten und deprimierenden Zeit entstehen lässt und zeigt, wie einzelne Individuen ihr Über-/Leben organisierten.

This contribution addresses the author’s experiences in the Irish University System and his reversed “rite of passage” from the University to a Eurac Research – a private research institution. After an overview of the Irish tertiary sector on a statal, organizational and financial level, the author illuminates how the situation unfolds for researchers and why as a result he decided to move on to Eurac Research. Even though student fees were canceled in Ireland in 1993, students are still obliged to pay costly enrollment fees due to the neoliberal organizational structures of the institutions. Therefore, in order to generate profit, universities are constrained to constantly up their student enrollment numbers, which in turn poses a conundrum for the teaching personnel. Academics need to take on additional teaching in order to keep the students engaged, consequently they can hardly devote any time to their own research, which creates a negative effect on their career progress, trapping them in professional mid-levels. Eurac Research as a private institution, however, is described as a space for scientific cooperation in symbiosis with architectural openness and historical revaluation.

We present a local research and citizen science initiative for the crowdsourcing-based enrichment and analysis of authentic handwritten postcards and letters, sent by South Tyrolean front-line soldiers to their families at home during the World Wars.

Among the many commemorations of World War I, little was made of the 100th anniversary of the secret Treaty of London between Italy and the Western War Allies in April 1915, which sealed the fate of South Tyrol for the duration of the twentieth century by passing it from Austria to Italy. In May 2015, a symposium was held in the medieval Prösels Castle in the Italian Dolomites to mark this historical moment. Contributors set out to explore the political, social and cultural impact of South Tyrol’s existence «on the threshold» during the twentieth century.
Individually and collectively, the essays in this volume challenge the simplistic reading of South Tyrol as merely a geographic region torn between Germanic and Italian cultures; instead, they explore the dynamic effects of its geographical, political and cultural history since 1915. South Tyrol, as a modern regional state in Europe, faces many of the same problems as other European regions, be they individual states or sub-state regions. Most of the contributions in this volume are from academics and intellectuals within the Province of Bolzano/Bozen who negotiate and discuss these issues through their native languages: German, Italian and Ladin. By making their research accessible through English translations and abstracts, this volume seeks to bring their work on historical and contemporary developments in South Tyrol to a wider European and global audience.
