On July 21, Katharina Voll gave a presentation titled “Between the Display Case and Scholarship: Objects as the Interface Between Museum Work and Research” at the research colloquium. A researcher in the Department of Ancient Cultures at the Badisches Landesmuseum in Karlsruhe, she introduced the audience—which is otherwise more familiar with modern and contemporary history—to the world of ancient Greek artifacts. In addition to the challenges posed by traditional forms of research and outreach, the presentation focused primarily on 3D digitalization and its significance for the restoration of ceramics and the digital dissemination of research findings.

"Modernity" and "progress" have been highly influential concepts in the context of contemporary history. The debate over the ideas and values associated with them has had a lasting impact on political thought and action. At the same time, however, a progressive history also examines the political opportunities of progressivism today—a cross-party position that does not consider the two fundamental values of modernity, freedom and equality, to be a closed chapter—neither in favor of authoritarianism nor of radical individualism. Rolf-Ulrich Kunze’s manifesto sets the characteristics of progressive politics in relation to its current challenges: political history in the literal sense, which does not accept the false claim to neutrality of a thoroughly tangible political or historicist equidistance.
