Hamburg, der FC St. Pauli und die Volkskunde

Dieser Beitrag beschreibt die Annäherung an ein Forschungsfeld - die Fankultur um den FC St. Pauli. Forscher*innen der europäischen Ethnologie, so wird gezeigt, geht es nicht nur um abstrakte Phänomene, sondern um die Relevanz lebensweltlicher Wirklichkeitserfahrung. Sie nehmen dabei nicht nur intellektuell das Wissen auf, sie eignen sich zudem das körperliche Wissen an, um Einblick in die Disposition der Subjekte der Praktik zu erlangen.This article describes a researcher approaching her research field - the fan culture surrounding the football club of St. Pauli in Hamburg. It shows that European ethnologists are not just concerned with abstract phenomena, but also with the relevance of the experience of the ‘real world’. Knowledge is not just acquired through the intellectual approach, but also physically to gain insights into the disposition of the subjects of the practice

The effect of ash from thermal power station on the heavy metal content of Festuca arundinacea and Festuca pratensis

Due to its biological activities, adsorption and absorption properties, the soil can function as a cleaning system for many industrial pollutants in moderate concentrations. Because of the microelement content of ash, it can be used for improvement of acid soils or with microelement deficit. The present paper describes the possibilities of using thermal power station ash as amendment and source of microelements for two gramineous species, used as forage and energetic plants. For the experiment design we used randomized blocks with 3 repetitions. The ash was incorporated in soil before sowing of Festuca arundinacea and Festuca pratensis species. Experimental variants were the following: V0 – 0 t/ha non-treated control, V1 – 1 t/ha, V2 – 3 t/ha and V3 – 5 t/ha ash. Plant samples were collected from the above-ground organs, one year after sowing. Heavy metal content was determined using atomic absorption spectroscopy method. Regarding the metal content, the data show that the application of ashes in different dosages had similar effects on both of the gramineous species. The zinc content decreases slightly with the increase of ash dosage at both of the species. Compared to control variant, the copper content increases directly with the amount of applied ash at Festuca arundinacea and decreases at Festuca pratensis. Cobalt, nickel and manganese concentrations presented an increase due to higher ash concentrations at both of the plant species compared to control. From all of the assessed metal contents, manganese presented the highest concentrations in plants. The concentrations are low compared to non-treated control, thus there was no toxicity effect of the studied heavy metals from thermal power station ashes

‘Volkskultur’ between Science and Society: A Critical History of the Concept

This paper analyses the concept of ‘Volkskultur’ (folk culture) as an invention of the 20th century, using perspectives from social history and the history of knowledge. It is demonstrated how ‘Volkskultur’ was constituted in the space between the poles of science, cultural policy, public discourse and popular practice, and how the concept was used as a symbolic resource. First, the disciplinary discourse of German-speaking European Ethnology (which grew out of ‘Volkskunde’) is explored in it’s interdisciplinary relations and it’s historical development. Second, conceptual proposals for the empirical study of the eld of ‘Volkskultur’ in the present are presented. Concluding, this article argues for a praxeological approach on the actors, social usages and political implications of ‘Volkskultur’.This paper analyses the concept of ‘Volkskultur’ (folk culture) as an invention of the 20th century, using perspectives from social history and the history of knowledge.
