In #USElections, the Democratic Party has traditionally been able to count on the #Latino vote. Not so in 2024: Many blamed the Latino community for the outcome of the election. Angela X. Ocampo from the University of Texas at Austin sheds light on the political behavior and priorities of this important and diverse voting bloc 👇

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.

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'.

Value of the PastThe Rise and Fall of a National StoryIn this blog entry, Yasamin Alkhansa traces the shift in hegemonic values in Iranian school textbooks from various decades using a lesson that has been modified several times by the Iranian Ministry of Education.

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?
