section I. General problems of Arabic-script based traditions -- section II. North Africa -- section III. West Africa -- section IV. East Africa -- section V. South Africa.

Sommario/riassunto

The Arabic script in Africa contains sixteen papers on the past and present use of Arabic script to write African languages. These writing traditions, which are sometimes collectively referred to as Ajami, are discussed for single or multiple languages, with examples from all major linguistic phyla of Africa but one (Khoisan), and from all geographic areas of Africa (North, West, Central, East, and South Africa), as well as a paper on the Ajami heritage in the Americas. The papers analyze (ethno-) historical, literary, (socio-) linguistic, and in particular grammatological aspects of these previously understudied writing traditions and exemplify their range and scope, providing new data for the comparative study of writing systems, literacy in Africa, and the history of (Islam in) Africa.

Sommario/riassunto

Daniel Wildmann öffnet einen innovativen Blick auf deutsch-jüdische Geschichte der Moderne. Er zeigt, wie Alternativen jüdischer Selbstvergewisserung um die Jahrhundertwende gedacht wurden - Alternativen sowohl zu assimilatorischen wie auch zu zionistischen Lebensentwürfen - und wie diese Alternativen gleichzeitig Bruchlinien jüdischer Integration in Deutschland offen legten. Durch eine präzise Analyse der Geschichte und Programmatik jüdischer Turnvereine wird klar, in welchem explosiven Spannungsfeld sich jüdische Identität im Deutschen Kaiserreich wiederfand, wenn sie vorgegebene Pfade verliess. Diese Studie betritt Neuland, denn sie integriert neue Ansätze



in der Geschichtswissenschaft, wie Körpergeschichte, Geschichte der Männlichkeit und Visual History, in die deutsch-jüdische Geschichte.
