The purpose of this paper is to compare curriculum documents for K-12 education from the state of North Carolina from two time periods, 1920s and 2003. The historical development of the mathematics curriculum in North Carolina provides a snapshot of the shifts in mathematics teaching and learning. North Carolina, a state in the southeast of the United States, has had a statewide standard course over a period spanning more than eighty years. A document analysis of printed curriculum standards from allows a description of the mathematics concepts and tasks that were expected of students in those years. The analysis revealed stark contrasts in the focus of mathematics from a very computational emphasis to one of problem solving. The analysis also highlighted the understanding of algebraic concepts and ideas as an essential outcome of current mathematics programs.

Das Aufrufen des Vergangenen, das Erinnern als Kultur ist für die Konstruktion von Stadt, ihrer Identität wie auch die ihrer Bewohner:innen von zentraler Bedeutung. Es ist ein Prozess, der Geschichte erzählt, hinterfragt und im Stadtraum präsent macht. Als identitätsstiftender kultureller Faktor und urbane Praktik kann das Erinnern als Wiederbelebung von Geschichte, Herstellen und Gestalten von Öffentlichkeit, als Kritik an geschichtlicher (Fehl-)Konstruktion verstanden werden, ebenso als Grundlage, um Neues zu verhandeln und auch als eine Form von Partizipation und Aktivismus. Im Rahmen eines Panels zur Tagung „Urbane Praxis. Neue Kontexte für kulturelle Infrastrukturen“ wurden im Dialog mit den vier Wissenschaftler:innen und/oder Kurator:innen Marie-Charlott Schube, Pablo Santacana López, Julia Kurz und Marianna Liosi Perspektiven auf das Erinnern als Teil von Aushandlungsprozessen urbaner Orte beleuchtet.

Thesis (MA (Modern Foreign Languages))--University of Stellenbosch, 2009. / The Deutsche Chronik, a nine volume family saga by the German author Walter Kempowski (1929 – 2007) modelled on Kempowski’s own family parallels the travails of a people seeking to wrench themselves loose from a past that is however always present. In this analysis, two of the novels of these chronicles of the Rostock middle class will be studied according to their portrayal of the question of German guilt. Thus far in secondary literature, the question of Kempowski’s portrayal of guilt in his novels has only been sparsely dealt with. The novel Tadellöser and Wolff (1971) in which the setting is the port city of Rostock in the Second World war and Uns geht’s ja noch gold (1972) in which the post-war years under soviet occupation are detailed lend themselves to an analysis of the question of guilt, as they cover a time period in German history (1939 – 1948) which is decisive in its examination. In this analysis, the question of guilt in the two novels by Kempowski will be examined according to a theoretical framework presented by two important studies on the question of guilt in Germany, firstly the study Die Schuldfrage. Ein Beitrag zur deutschen Frage (1946) by Karl Jaspers and secondly Der lange Schatten der Vergangenheit (2006) by Aleida Assmann.

Given the doubtfulness of the legal justification of Crimea’s declaration of independence on March 11 2014, which was followed by a referendum on March 16 that culminated in the peninsula’s treaty with Moscow to join the Russian Federation, Mr Putin used his speech on March 18 to put historical arguments forward in an effort to legitimise the Russian course of action in front of his own population. The speech counters the international community’s legal assessment, which classified Crimea’s accession to Russia as an annexation, with a historical legitimisation full of symbolism and mysticism that blatantly reinterprets Russian history and delegitimises the territorial integrity of Ukraine. This article analyses Putin’s attempt to justify Russia’s annexation of Crimea and tries to infer the mindset and aims that lie behind his historic-political argumentation.
