In #Bulgaria, the #Covid19 pandemic became a tool for further subjugation of the #Roma population, portraying them as "virus carriers" and denying them basic rights. This reflects a long-standing history of racialized control, writes Francesco Trupia at #TRAFOBlog 👇

TRAFO – Blog for Transregional ResearchPolicing the Roma in the Service of Whiteness. Post-Pandemic Reflections from BulgariaBy Francesco Trupia. Bulgaria's bio-political population management remains instructive to showcase the embeddedness of the policies of white-enclosing with the diversely universal conditions of discrimination, scapegoating, and racism. Race is undoubtedly central to charting out the genealogical lines of past and present violence against Roma and other minority groups in Bulgaria.

The 1999 Helms-Biden Act ended a decade-long blockade of U.S. payments to the United Nations and stimulated significant reform of the U.N. institutions. It also points to an underlying principle of Joe Biden’s politics, which is central to understanding his legacy, argues Richard Lange.

With the fall of the Assad regime, the brutal violence with which the regime had held on to power for 54 years came overwhelmingly into the public eye. The Hama massacre in February 1982 is a momentous example of this violence. This central and defining event of Assad’s rule, which was a strong taboo for decades and has never been discussed or dealt with publicly, is now openly and freely commemorated for the first time:

TRAFO – Blog for Transregional Research„Ḥamā lam tamut” (“Hama did not die”) – Remembering the Hama Massacre after the Fall of the Assad RegimeBy Anna Christina Scheiter. With the fall of the Assad regime in December 2024, the brutal violence with which the regime had held on to power for 54 years came increasingly and overwhelmingly into the public eye. The Hama massacre in February 1982 is a momentous example of this violence. This central and defining event of Assad's rule, which was a strong taboo for decades and has never been discussed or dealt with publicly, is now openly and freely commemorated for the first time and the victims are mourning on the occasion of its 43rd anniversary in February 2025. Addressing the Assad regime’s atrocities of the last 54 years openly at last and seeking justice for its victims is central for social reconciliation and a basis for the establishment of a new collective identity after the end of the dictatorship.

"Russia’s war cult and its amnesiac attitude to Soviet political terror are not simply the doings of Putin’s memory industry. They are ingrained in collective imagination and reproduced from generation to generation."

Ekaterina Haskins explains why the memory of the Great Patriotic War remains so powerful in today’s Russia, while public interest in Soviet political terror fades. Read the full interview here 👇

Rim Naguib tells the story of Noémie Canel, a Jewish Egyptian communist, and her fellow "foreign" comrades who were singled out for deportation because of their activism.

TRAFO – Blog for Transregional Research“Affectueusement, Laila”: Being a Communist “Foreign” Woman in Post-colonial EgyptBy Rim Naguib. Naguib's research surveys a process of securitization of nationality and foreigners' residence, whereby the right to Egyptian nationality and to residence in Egypt were instrumentalized in the colonial and post-colonial policing of leftist internationalist ideas and movements. While analyzing state practice, Naguib also inquires into how this particular policing technique impacted the lives of individuals, and how those who were the most likely targets of deportation resisted their remov-al in different ways. The story of Noémie Canel is one such account.

In 1903, British officials complained about the "leaking" borders between German and British Cameroon, where slavery and cross-border slave trade continued despite both colonial powers claiming to be abolitionist.
At "Mapping Africa and Asia," Nele Tschuschke examines the history of the British-German border between Nigeria and Cameroon from 1884 to 1906. How was the boundary imagined and fixed both on the map and on the ground?

Investigating the Formation of the British-German Border between Nigeria and CameroonIn 1903 a complaint by a British official about “leaking German-Cameroonian borders” (Weiss 2000: 168) reached Garoua, the centre of German colonial administration in German-Adamawa, Cameroon. More complaints from the British Protectorate of Nigeria followed but German officials rejected the accusations although they were aware of the ongoing slavery and cross-border slave trade (ibid.: 167–172).

Across the globe, populist leaders draw on a shared set of methods: A rhetoric of "we the people", emotional appeal, anti-pluralism and majoritarianism. They also form ties across countries, creating a counter-project to the liberal world order.

TRAFO – Blog for Transregional ResearchPopulism in a Global Perspective: Who Needs Democracy?By Katarina Ristić, Therese Mager, Constanze Blum and Man Zhang. The rise of populism in the “West” has prompted extensive academic research which often appears oblivious to populism’s historical origins and non-western genealogies. Focusing on populism as a threat to western democracies, much of the research on populism neglects variations and the different contexts within which populism operates in different world regions. In our seminar “Critically Engaging with Populism as a Global Phenomenon,” which we taught during the summer 2024 term for MA students enrolled in Global and European Studies at Leipzig University, we sought to offer broader insights into populism in a global perspective.

When Swiss artist Marc Moret departed this world in 2021, he left behind him a collection of sculptures that are both deeply personal and profoundly universal. His collages emerge as much from his pain and anxiety as from a profound meditation on the human condition and the concepts of life after death. Taken as a whole, his oeuvre confronts us with raw and simple existential questions.

Hélène Dupraz Sancho reflects on Moret's reliquaries of a third kind:

During the campaign for the 2024 presidential election in Iran, the successful candidate, Masoud Pezeshkian, shared an image from a 1980s textbook on his social media platforms - one that had been censored since 2009.

As embodiments of official narratives, changes in textbooks tell the story of shifting hegemonic values. Yasamin Alkhansa explores the changes in the concept of 'devotion' taught in the lesson on the 'Selfless Farmer'.

Social media and digital platforms such as Telegram have allowed Ukrainian migrants to maintain close ties to home. They have also helped form a close-knit Ukrainian diaspora. Their digital connectedness has an impact on Ukrainian migrants' plans to return to Ukraine, as well as their adaptation to a new country, writes Taisiia Ratushna:

TRAFO – Blog for Transregional ResearchUkrainian Migrants’ Digital Connections to Family and Homeland during the WarBy Taisiia Ratushna. Social media and digital platforms have considerably facilitated access to information for Ukrainian migrants. They actively use messengers and thematic groups to keep in touch with relatives, receive news, and discuss issues related to migration and integration in a new environment. Constantly monitoring news on social media allows Ukrainian migrants not only to stay informed about events in the country but also to maintain an emotional connection with home. However, constant engagement with Ukrainian news and communities may slow integration into host societies, as it reinforces emotional ties to their homeland.

One of academia’s most cherished myths is that identifying an unstudied area automatically creates a valuable research problem. But just because there is no research on what color socks professors wore while writing groundbreaking papers doesn't make it a problem worth studying, writes @vmmmh at #NoDiscipline.

On June 5, 1975, in the midde of the Cold War, David Rockefeller visited East Berlin. His visit was meticulously planned: Nothing was to go wrong when the chairman of the Chase Manhattan Bank, the third largest bank in the world, and brother of US-American Vice President Nelson Rockefeller came to the GDR.

How can we understand Rockefeller’s visit and the effort of the GDR’s leadership to accommodate him?
