Daniel Ziblatt speaks about the value of democracy at the Leibniz Annual conference. A robust Civil Society with a strong memory culture strengsthens resilience, he says. Our alliance hopefully contributes, stressing that self-reflexivity and multiperspectivity are core values of memory work..

In Memory of Wulf Kansteiner (1964-2025)

It was with great shock and sadness that we heard of the death of Wulf Kansteiner, who passed away suddenly on August 8. We will never forget his commitment to our Leibniz Research Alliance Value of the Past, of which he was a member of the advisory board.

Im Rahmen der LFV-Tagung "Dinge - Erzählen - Werte" des Research Lab "Materialität und Medialität" hatten wir heute die Möglichkeit, einen Einblick in die neuen Räume des @leizarchaeology.bsky.social zu bekommen. Wir sind gespannt auf die entstehende Dauerausstellung und das weitere Tagungsprogramm!
Gruppenfoto der Tagungsteilnehmer:innen Jana Hawig von der DASA Arbeitsweltausstellung Dortmund hält den ersten Vortrag der Tagung. Es geht um ihr Dissertationsthema "Erzählweisen in Ausstellungen". Einige Tagunsteilnehmer:innen betrachten eine kleine Sonderausstellung/Intervention im Leibniz-Zentrum für Archäologie (LEIZA), unserem Tagungsort. Die Sammlung des LEIZA ist vor ein paar Jahren in ein neues Gebäude gezogen, wo eine neue Dauerausstellung aufgebaut wird. Hier sieht man einige der Ausstellungsobjekte, größtenteils sind sie noch in Kisten verpackt.

There are no easy answers. But if you can associate places with specific stories, then this social imaginary is part of the ascribed value.
