Connectivity Matters! Social, Environmental and Cultural Connectivity in Past Societies, 2022

Thereby, reflections are made about the relationship between the city and its natural conditions, on the one hand, and the social circumstances as well as cultural needs on the other. It becomes apparent that “water art” (Wasserkunst) of antique and medieval cities may be understood as a manifestation of the negotiation of individual and collective needs. The connectivity between the city and the environment as well as the social connectivity within a city is reflected in the relationship of the individual households to the city as a whole.

To this purpose, concepts of protest action and protest modes from political science and social science research are first introduced with a focus on social movements. The very heterogeneous approaches point out that the analy sis of materialized practices of protest is rather in the background. In the following, four archaeologically investigated protest sites are briefly present

Brandenburg an der Havel, Hildesheim und Haithabu stehen nicht nur für verschiedene Zeiträume, sondern reflektieren auch unterschiedliche kulturelle Kontexte. Um diese Städte vergleichbar zu machen, wird abschließend ein Modell präsentiert, welches verschiedene Modi von Doppelstädten beschreibt.

The management of archaeological records and features from the 19th to 20th centuries is a challenge for archaeological state departments , museums and universities.

In order to clarify this ques- tion, the following will cast a look at various times and collectives. On the one hand, a “slave prison” and settlements of self-freed slaves (“maroons”) from the 18th and 19th centuries are discussed. On the other hand, an analysis of a “peace-camp” as a form of resistance in the 20th century is presented. Examples are intended to finally identify the methods, problems and potentials of “archaeology of resistance” for historical epochs.

Brandenburg an der Havel, Hildes-heim, and Haithabu not only reflect different time periods, but also different cultural contexts. In order to make these cities comparable, a model is presented that describes different modes of twin cities.

It focuses on how transcultural processes and practices create spatial arrangements and how, on the other hand, spatial dispositions influence transcultural processes. Special attention will be turned to the relations between spaces and places in the landscape as well as the impact of transcultural mechanisms of inclusion and exclusion on the formation and development of cultural landscapes.
