Produktbeschreibung
Honouring people is a controversial issue today. Street names, honorary citizenships or memorials for politicians, military brass or scientists fuels debates not only in Germany, but in many European countries. Politicians or the public criticize a problematic persistence of colonial, fascist or militaristic traditions and raise questions about local traditions. The book takes these debates as a starting point to shed light on the history of practices of honouring in German and European cities and regions in the 19th and 20th century. The authors focus on concepts and practices of honouring such as naming streets or public buildings after prominent citizens, erecting memorials, conferring medals, honorary citizenships, or issuing stamps. The book opens up new perspectives on the relationship between honour, urban and regional identity, the connection between honour, spatiality, and social norms, or in short: on the transformation of local societies in the 19th and 20th century.
