Ich verschenke eine Ausgabe meiner an jemand, der/die auf diesen Post reagiert. In der Diss geht es darum, wie durch Zulassungsverfahren von Schulgeschichtsbüchern der Nachkriegsjahre die Darstellung des beeinflusst wurde. Ich habe die institutionellen Machtverhältnisse und hegemonialen Denkstile herausgearbeitet und bin bei wesentlichen Akteuren auf ihre NS-Vergangenheit eingegangen.

Moin. Spannendes Thema, da wir alle und in diesem Fall nicht nur die biodeutschen, sondern alle, die in diesem Land beschult wurden zu den Betroffenen gehören. Mitsamt der Stunde-Null-Lüge, den Persilscheinen, dem "Mitläufertum". Es wäre zu eruieren, ob und inwieweit dies Folgen bis heute hat. Die Wahrheit ist bekanntlich nur einen "Vogelschiss" entfernt. Mich traumatisiert das bis heute, was mein Opa anrichtete.

Leodie,

@Historeiter @histodons @historikerinnen @bookhistodons / Ihre Dissertation interessiert mich. Bin seit 5 Jahren Lehrerin im "Seiteneinstieg" an den BbS Anhalt-Bitterfeld und für mich ist das Fach Deutsch mehr als Rechtschreibung.:)

Restless Books, Independent of literature, opens store in Amherst.

Europe & the rest of the world are good at works from around the world. Only 3% of US books are translations. Ilan Stavans of Amherst College wanted to rectify this imbalance. His Restless Books, founded in New York around a decade ago, has brought out c. 150 books by 120 authors from 40 countries.

98 #Manuscripts were digitized by the #Vatican this week, because they don't care about #Thanksgiving http://www.wiglaf.org/vatican/2023/week47.html
Includes a ton more Greek works, including an illuminated John of Damascus, a post-Byzantine Greek Ordo, a Latin Rituale, more Russian psalter volumes, more Henry Stevenson Jr, and a poignant Ferrial Psalter made in Constantinople in 1452

Enjoyed some , , and in today's outing in Portsmouth, NH (celebrating its 400th anniversary this year):

first a quick stop at the 1817 Athenaeum (closed today, but sister-in-law is a member). Once there were many of these loca institutions devoted to and . Only 16 remain.

Day ended with a late-afternoon drive along the seacoast at Rye.

Hello bibliographers! I'm wondering if people have strong feelings about whether the abbreviations for recto and verso (eg, fol. 178r) should be in superscript or not?

@libroraptor

Yes, of course. What I meant was that you can’t just type the native superiors in Word or whatever. In a page-layout application like InDesign you can set a preference to apply them (and small caps) automatically, but Word doesn’t offer that, so you’d have to do something cumbersome. I use PopChar to access out-of-the-way characters, but a keystroke is so much easier.

@JeffreyJDean @wynkenhimself @bookhistodons

Yes – Word is a blight on literacy.

As an editor now that I've left academia, I see that even the spelling checker and grammar checker have become "power features" that clients think not for them.

Microsoft has worked hard to teach people not to see those red and green squiggles – and hence blinded them to smaller details and all that we convey through them.
