German Lost Art Foundation publishes second edition of Working Paper series
The dossier is entitled “Colonial violence and the theft of cultural objects and human remains: a systematic survey of military violence and so-called punitive expeditions in German colonial territories in Africa (1884-1919)” and is published in open access on the interdisciplinary online publication platform www.perspectivia.net run by the Max Weber Foundation – German Humanities Institutes Abroad.
The series Working Paper Deutsches Zentrum Kulturgutverluste comprises texts on current research topics which are published online at irregular intervals. These include dossiers, guidelines, research aids, research reports and overviews from all of the Foundation’s funding areas and fields of activity: cultural property expropriated as a result of Nazi persecution and due to armed conflict, cultural property seizures in the Soviet zone of occupation/GDR, and cultural goods and collections from colonial contexts.
The working paper by Eva Künkler is available for download free of charge as a pdf at www.perspectivia.net under https://doi.org/10.25360/01-2022-00001. Another working paper on so-called punitive expeditions in Oceania is currently in preparation.
