The article "Boundaries and Transgressions in the Anthropocene: Intangible Cultural Heritage as a Case Study" examines the significance of Intangible Cultural Heritage for education, learning, and socialization. In the Anthropocene, where humans play a crucial role in the fate of the planet, it is important to engage with nature and culture as a shared heritage of humanity. Intangible Cultural Heritage can make an important contribution to the development of global citizenship. The five areas of the UNESCO Convention on Intangible Cultural Heritage are of great importance: oral traditions and expressions, music, body language, performing arts, customs, festivals, rituals throughout the year, humans and nature, craftsmanship. UNESCO is committed to preserving these works and practices and using them for intercultural dialogues and global partnerships to safeguard cultural diversity and develop global citizenship.

Die Kulturgutdigitalisierung gehört seit Jahren zum Kerngeschäft der Landesbibliotheken wie der BLB. Dabei lag der Fokus lange Zeit auf der Contentdigitalisierung von unikalem Material. Hinzu kamen regional interessante Bestände wie Adressbücher oder Landtagsprotokolle. Allerdings stellt sich zunehmend die Frage, ob die Aufgabe der Bibliotheken mit der reinen Imageproduktion schon erledigt ist. Am Beispiel der BLB sollen Zukunftsperspektiven aufgezeigt werden, die über die Contentproduktion hinausgehen. Dazu gehört neben der Anreicherung der Digitalisate durch Normdaten, Volltexte und Editionen die Einbindung in überregionale Portale, die Zusammenarbeit mit der Forschung bei ausgewählten Projekten, die Unterstützung kleinerer Einrichtungen und das Engagement in Citizen-Science-Projekten. Digitizing the cultural heritage has been a central task of state libraries like the BLB for many years. Initially, the focus was on content digitization of unique material. Regionally interesting holdings such as address books or regional parliament protocols were added. The question, however, is whether the task of libraries is fully accomplished by producing digital images. Using the example of the Baden State Library, future perspectives will be illustrated that extend far beyond content production. Alongside enriching the digitized material with standard data, full texts and editions, this also includes integration into national portals, cooperations with scientific research in selected projects, support for small-scale institutions and engaging in citizen-science projects.

The article focuses on Kingdom of Romania issued a Law on the Status of Minority Nationalities, giving every Romanian citizen the right to declare their own nationality, an unsuspected ethnic group seized this opportunity to make their voice heard. It mentions Post-war redefinitions of Swabian cultural heritage and ethnic belonging and ultimate goal of gaining full domestic and international recognition of their ethnic minority status. It also mentions informative case study that sheds new light on the conditions for and limits of nationalism forward by the French minority.

The article discusses the history of the Bibliographie Nationale Française (BNF), the French National Library, from its foundation in 1811 under Napoleon, its expansion to other subjects beside bibliography after the World War II, and to its modern online databases. The library is the oldest national bibliography in the world. Other topics mentioned are new cooperation with other libraries, the use of microfiche to reduce paper costs, and the goal to preserve books as cultural heritage.

The article The World of Yesterday and Its Adversaries: (Dis)continuities in Post-war Austrian Literature provides an outline of the complex interplay of ruptures and continuities in Austrian literature since 1945 and relates them to the historical context. After a phase of catching up on international trends, the Austrian readership largely leaned towards the literary past (of the Austro-Hungarian and the interwar period), encouraged by the cultural policies of the Allies who – operating on the basis of the victim theory – endorsed a cultural heritage that would strengthen the overall sense of community among the Austrian population. After 1948, the lack of reorganization of the literary field became evident in the dominance of catholic conservative agents who upheld their pre-war cultural ideals, and the reintegration of (lesser) Nazi offenders into the literary scene, all of this to the disadvantage of unknown, progressive, and avantgarde writers, whose publishing opportunities were scarce. The article explores how the new generation’s various ways of confronting the past represent significant breaks in this continuity, while becoming a major literary trend in their own right.

Three handwritten copies of an order issued by George Frederick, Margrave of Brandenburg- Ansbach, have recently come to light in the Secret State Archives Prussian Cultural Heritage Foundation (Berlin). Two of these, A and B, had been edited before by Jurgis Gerullis (1927), but were meanwhile considered lost. The third one, K, has been newly discovered in a file of drafts which also contained the German drafts both for the text of the order and the Duke's accompanying letter to the church administrations of Tilsit and Ragnit. It is edited here with the variants from A, B and a photograph of the lost copy U, and together with the two German drafts. The edition is accompanied by a full commentary and glossary. George Frederick, nephew of the first Prussian duke Albert of Brandenburg, took over the administration of the Duchy of Prussia after Albert's son had been declared unfit to rule. The order, dating from December 1578 and addressed to the church administration of Tilsit, admonishes the members of the Protestant church district of Tilsit to fulfil their obligations as Christians and refrain from heathen practices. It is the earliest extant administrative document written in Old Lithuanian. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
