Der verratene Verräter: Wolfgang Schnur: Bürgerrechtsanwalt und Spitzenspitzel - Kobylinski, Alexander (Mitteldeutscher Verlag, 2015)
Kaum ein Protagonist der Umbruchszeit 1989/90 polarisiert bis heute so wie Wolfgang Schnur. Als Anwalt arbeitet Schnur (geb. 1944) in der DDR als Rechtsbeistand für Bürgerrechtler und Wehrdienstverweigerer. Nicht wenige sehen den Mitbegründer und Vorsitzenden des Demokratischen Aufbruchs als kommenden Wahlsieger bei den Volkskammerwahlen im März 1990 und damit als künftigen DDR-Ministerpräsidenten. Doch kurz vor der Wahl wird bekannt, dass Schnur seit den 1960er Jahren für die Stasi tätig war. Es beginnt ein langer Absturz mit dem Entzug der Anwaltszulassung 1993 und diversen Verurteilungen. Alexander Kobylinski, einst selbst Mandant von Schnur, folgt dessen Lebenslauf von der Jugend im Nachkriegsdeutschland, der Ausbildung zum Rechtsanwalt, seiner Anwerbung durch das MfS und der Tätigkeit als Spitzel bis zur Enttarnung 1990. Kobylinski zeigt, wie Schnur mit viel Geduld, aber äußerst zielstrebig vom MfS aufgebaut wurde und schließlich zu einer wichtigen Person in der Bürgerbewegung wurde. Und er lässt die »Einbrüche« in Schnurs Karriere erst richtig verstehen.

Deutschland seit 1990: Wege in die Vereinigungsgesellschaft - Großbölting, Thomas; Lorke, Christoph (Franz Steiner Verlag, 2017)
Der Fall der Berliner Mauer und die Wiedervereinigung beendeten vierzig Jahre Trennung von Bundesrepublik und DDR. Diese Ereignisse waren zweifelsohne von nationaler und internationaler Bedeutung. Die empathische Erinnerung daran markiert den Gründungsmythos eines wiedervereinigten Deutschlands wie auch den eines sich erweiternden Europas.Mit größer werdendem zeitlichem Abstand wird diese euphorische Lesart allerdings zunehmend blasser. Nicht nur die Verwerfungen der Banken- und Eurokrise seit 2008, sondern zahlreiche andere Prozesse und Ereignisse lassen die Ambivalenzen der Entwicklung seit Ende der 1980er Jahre deutlicher hervortreten. Aus der politikhistorisch so einschneidenden Zäsur wird in der Rückschau ein immer weicherer und mehrdeutiger Übergang. Was verband und verbindet die Deutschen in Ost und West vor und nach 1990? Welche Gemeinsamkeiten prägen die Vereinigungsgesellschaft, welche Trennlinien durchziehen sie bis heute? Diesen Fragen gehen die Autorinnen und Autoren in ihren Beiträgen nach und entwerfen auf diese Weise ein facettenreiches Bild der deutschen Geschichte der vergangenen drei Jahrzehnte.

Direito, Constituicao E Transicao Democratica No Brasil - Genro, Tarso (FRANCIS, 2010)
Tarso Genro escreveu os textos que compõem esse livro quando Ministro da Justiça. Neles aborda temas centrais pertinentes e necessários para a compreensão do atual quadro de relações entre os diversos poderes institucionais, no contexto de um largo processo de transição político-democrática, iniciado em 1985 e cujos parâmetros estão consagrados na Constituição Federal de 1988. A partir de uma redemocratização, ainda marcada por profundas dependências de um passado oligárquico, a transição política e jurídica encontra-se incompleta. Muitas das definições constitucionais assumidas em 1988, das cláusulas pétreas à orientação para a regulamentação de relações entre povo e sociedade, não atingiram, ainda, um patamar compatível com os ideais de uma democracia por todos almejada. A economia modernizou-se, o Estado assumiu um papel crescentemente ativo, os interesses corporativos e dos mais amplos setores populares se organizaram; porém, o sistema que rege juridicamente essas relações e interesses não foi ainda plenamente implementado. Do olho do furacão, como Ministro da Justiça do presidente Lula, Tarso Genro enfrentou e refletiu criativamente sobre os dilemas cruciais dessa conjuntura de transição, onde, muitas vezes, os tribunais superiores, como o Supremo Tribunal Federal, assumem papéis e funções legislativas, onde o Presidente da República tem de negociar diretamente com os demais poderes e onde o poder legislativo tem de assumir sua morosidade diante das urgências das novas conjunturas causadas pela rápida mudança da sociedade e da economia diante das pressões populares. Tarso Genro não foge à luta e encara suas responsabilidades como membro do poder executivo e como pensador, já autor de numerosas obras de referência internacional.

Dissolution: The Crisis of Communism and the End of East Germany - Maier, Professor Charles S. (Princeton University Press, 1999)
Against the backdrop of one of the great transformations of our century, the sudden and unexpected fall of communism as a ruling system, Charles Maier recounts the history and demise of East Germany. Dissolution is his poignant, analytically provocative account of the decline and fall of the late German Democratic Republic. This book explains the powerful causes for the disintegration of German communism as it constructs the complex history of the GDR. Maier looks at the turning points in East Germany's forty-year history and at the mix of coercion and consent by which the regime functioned. He analyzes the GDR as it evolved from the purges of the 1950s to the peace movements and emerging youth culture of the 1980s, and then turns his attention to charges of Stasi collaboration that surfaced after 1989. In the context of describing the larger collapse of communism, Maier analyzes German elements that had counterparts throughout the Soviet bloc, including its systemic and eventually terminal economic crisis, corruption and privilege in the SED, the influence of the Stasi and the plight of intellectuals and writers, and the slow loss of confidence on the part of the ruling elite. He then discusses the mass protests and proliferation of dissident groups in 1989, the collapse of the ruling party, and the troubled aftermath of unification. Dissolution is the first book that spans the communist collapse and the ensuing process of unification, and that draws on newly available archival documents from the last phases of the GDR, including Stasi reports, transcripts of Politburo and Central Committee debates, and papers from the Economic Planning Commission, the Council of Ministers, and the office files of key party officials. This book is further bolstered by Maier's extensive knowledge of European history and the Cold War, his personal observations and conversations with East Germans during the country's dramatic transition, and memoirs and other eyewitness accounts published during the four-decade history of the GDR.

A pesquisa, de cunho teórico- conceitual, testa o conceito/hipótese de modo de acreditação e distribuição social de saberes, fundado na divisão de Nora entre sociedades de memória e sociedades de história. Analisa a constituição, os funcionamentos e as representações imaginárias da escrita, como marco divisório e base das sociedades históricas – ou de arquivo – e fundamentando o efeito- documento em processos de legitimação, autoridade e regimes de verdade. o estudo busca as bases da persistência do documento nos processos dominantes de acreditação e distribuição social de saberes – e poderes – no ocidente, buscando contribuir, assim, para o adensamento desse relevante debate no campo. Apresenta os avanços de pesquisa obtidos pelos aportes teórico-conceituais da escola francesa da análise e teoria do discurso, que recoloca a dimensão material e histórica do sentido, rompendo com a ilusão da transparência da linguagem – fundamento do efeito-informação (evidência), mito fundador do campo informacional.

Does the U.S. Need a Truth and Reconciliation Commission?: A Philosophical Investigation - Táíwò, Olúfẹ́mi (Routledge, 2023)
Written from the perspective of a philosopher and African immigrant, this book makes a forceful moral argument for the need for a Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) in the United States to address the long history of injustice to African-Americans. It shows that a TRC—similar to those established in South Africa and Chile—would rescue the ideals embodied in the U.S. Constitution while expanding their promise. Rejecting more recent views of the country’s founding as an embodiment of incorrigible racial oppression, Olúfẹmi Táíwò sees in the U.S. Constitution, and the original utopia that was at its foundation, the best available means for achieving liberty and justice. But he simultaneously shows how only a TRC can successfully open the path to moving the U.S. past its long legacy of anti-black racism in particular and racial oppression, generally, towards a more perfect union. Written with an immigrant’s love of his new homeland but a clear-eyed view of its major shortcomings, the book rejects the idea of American exceptionalism in prescribing a solution that has worked elsewhere.

Droit des archives et droits de l’homme - Kabanda, Marcel (Gazette des archives, 2007)
Devant l’impossibilité de reconstituer par les archives écrites la réalité des crimes commis au Rwanda, l’auteur souligne l’importance des témoignages oraux, seuls à faire apparaître le rôle du gouvernement intérimaire dans l’incitation des populations civiles à commettre un génocide. Il met en garde contre les effets pervers de la chasse aux documents lancée après les massacres, hors de tout contrôle et sans assurance de préservation, par de multiples acteurs désireux de mobiliser l’opinion publique. Quant aux professionnels des archives, ils sont soumis à la pression croissante de nouveaux usagers, victimes et défenseurs des droits de l’Homme, et journalistes. Il leur faut des moyens supplémentaires mais aussi un nouveau droit qui adapte les règles de consultation des archives aux exigences de ces différents publics, en assurant un équilibre entre l’exigence de savoir et la protection des sources, et en préservant les intérêts de la recherche historique. L’auteur suggère aussi des actions de sensibilisation à la notion d’archives, notamment en partenariat avec les systèmes éducatifs, comme cela est déjà le cas pour les droits de l’Homme.

La création de la Section Archives et droits de l’Homme du Conseil International des Archives est l’occasion de faire le bilan du travail accompli par le groupe de travail dont elle est issue et de tenter d’en évaluer l’impact. Les actions de sensibilisation menées depuis 2003 en direction des défenseurs des droits de l’Homme ont permis aux archivistes de bénéficier de leur soutien. Ils ont ainsi pu obtenir des Nations Unies la reconnaissance de l’importance des archives pour l’exercice du droit à la vérité dans les sociétés en transition démocratique. Des actions de professionnalisation ont été engagées pour aider les organisations non gouvernementales à préserver leurs archives et les archivistes à traiter les fonds concernant la défense des droits de l’Homme. La nouvelle Section aura la légitimité et les moyens nécessaires pour mener à bien des projets plus ambitieux.

Eichmann in Jerusalem: A Report on the Banality of Evil - Arendt, Hannah (Viking Press, 1963)
"While living in Argentina in 1960, Nazi leader Adolf Eichmann was kidnapped and smuggled to Israel where he was put on trial for crimes against humanity. The New Yorker magazine sent Hannah Arendt to cover the trial. While covering the technical aspects of the trial, Arendt also explored the wider themes inherent in the trial, such as the nature of justice, the behavior of the Jewish leadership during the Nazi Régime, and, most controversially, the nature of Evil itself. Far from being evil incarnate, as the prosecution painted Eichmann, Arendt maintains that he was an average man, a petty bureaucrat interested only in furthering his career, and the evil he did came from the seductive power of the totalitarian state and an unthinking adherence to the Nazi cause. Indeed, Eichmann's only defense during the trial was "I was just following orders."

El acceso a los archivos como antídoto a los abusos empresariales - Palacios, Blanca I. Bazaco (Comma, 2021)
Desde la última década del siglo XX, los informes de los relatores de las Naciones Unidas como Joinet, Orentlicher o Pablo de Greiff han tomado conciencia del papel de los archivos en el esclarecimiento de la verdad, la impartición de la justicia, la reparación a las víctimas y las garantías de no repetición en el caso de las violaciones de derechos humanos. Sin embargo, los derechos humanos no solo se violan en guerras y regímenes dictatoriales. Las empresas, especialmente las transnacionales, son cada vez más las protagonistas de casos flagrantes de violaciones de derechos humanos que, amparándose en el respeto a la propiedad privada y empresarial, y con la dificultad que supone su actuación en diferentes puntos del planeta, se cometen con total impunidad. Las Naciones Unidas, conscientes de ello, emitieron los Principios Rectores sobre las Empresas y los Derechos Humanos, conocido como Informe Ruggie, y está trabajando en la actualidad en un Tratado Vinculante para luchar contra esta lacra. Para asombro de la profesión, ninguno de estos documentos está contemplando el valor que el acceso a los archivos puede aportar para la aplicación de estos principios, corriendo el riesgo de quedarse en una simple declaración de intenciones. A través de este artículo, se analizarán en qué puntos, tanto de los Principios como del Tratado, el acceso a los documentos de archivo es esencial para llevar a cabo una verdadera política para proteger, respetar y reparar a las víctimas de estos abusos.

El material humano - Rosa, Rodrigo Rey (Alfaguara, 2017)
Un maestro extraordinario de la fusión entre periodismo y literatura. «El material humano no necesita de retórica alguna, ni de frases más largas que una línea para emocionar al lector: le basta la verdad honesta de la que parte.»Javier Aparicio Maydeu, Babelia «Aunque no lo parezca, aunque no quiera parecerlo, ésta es una obra de ficción.» Durante el otoño de 2005, Rodrigo Rey Rosa visitó a diario el Gabinete de Identificación del recién descubierto archivo secreto de la Policía Nacional de Guatemala: «Más allá de la información que esperaba obtener en ese laberinto de millones de legajos policíacos acumulados durante más de un siglo y conservados por azar, después de aquella visita inicial las circunstancias y el ambiente del Archivo de La Isla habían comenzado a parecerme novelescos, y acaso aun novelables. Una especie de microcaos cuya relación podría servir de coda para la singular danza macabra de nuestro último siglo». De los cuadernos escritos a lo largo de esas visitas surge El material humano, una novela sobrecogedora en la que la siniestra documentación de la represión en su país sirve al autor de telón de fondo para narrar su propia historia. Reseñas:«Este es uno de los mejores libros de Rey Rosa. La prosa sobria y tan bien respirada que le conocemos ahora convive con el estilo polvoriento de las fichas policiales.»Alejandro Zambra, La Tercera «Una obra híbrida, sorprendente, magníficamente construida. [...] Rey Rosa despliega hilos narrativos con admirable maestría, proponiéndonos varios niveles de lectura. Nos prende en sus redes y ya no nos suelta hasta la última página.»Marc Sagaert, Les Lettres françaises «La novela de Rey Rosa navega con éxito en la delgada línea roja que separa la realidad de la ficción, utilizando recursos de ambos territorios para construir un interesante reflejo de la vida cotidiana en un país en el que la violencia institucional y la impunidad establecida colocan en el terreno de la pesadilla.»Enrique Benítez, La Opinión de Málaga «Rodrigo Rey Rosa ha hecho de la sobriedad un efecto de estilo con el que está edificando una de las más notables trayectorias literarias de la literatura latinoamericana.»Ricardo Baixeras, El Periódico de Catalunya «El material humano no es una novela árida sino amena que, además de sobrecoger, engancha al lector.»Iñaki Ezquerra, El Correo «Esta novela de Rodrigo Rey Rosa es -me parece- la más lograda ficción relacionada con la historia reciente de nuestro país. [...] Envidiable capacidad de síntesis. Aproximación minimalista en la descripción. Un novelista como pocos.»Javier Payeras, Siglo XXI (Guatemala)ENGLISH DESCRIPTIONAn extraordinary master at blending journalism and literature. "Human Matter does not need any rhetoric, or phrases any longer than one line to excite the reader: the honest truth that it exudes is just enough." Javier Aparicio Maydeu, Babelia "Although it may not seem so, this is a work of fiction." During the fall of 2005, Rodrigo Rey Rosa visited the Identification Office of the Guatemalan National Police’s newly discovered secret archives on a daily basis: "Far beyond the information I hoped to obtain from that maze of millions of police records accumulated for over a century, and after that initial visit, circumstances and its ambiance had begun to appear novelistic. A kind of small contained chaos which could serve as an ending for the macabre dance that was our last century ». From the notes taken throughout these visits, comes Human Matter, an overwhelming novel in which the sinister documentation of his country’s repression serves the author as the backdrop to tell his own story.

Enabling a Dictator: the United States and Chad's Hissène Habré 1982-1990 - Human Rights Watch (Organization) (Human Rights Watch, 2016)
"The report, 'Enabling a Dictator: The United States and Chad's Hissène Habré 1982-1990s,' describes how France, and especially the United States, were pivotal in bringing Habré to power, although signs of his brutality were already evident. The two countries saw Habré as a bulwark against the expansionist designs of Libyas Muammar Gaddafi, whose forces were occupying northern Chad. Human Rights Watch details how both the United States and France continued to provide Habrés government with critical support, even as it committed widespread and systematic human rights violations"–Publisher's description

Essays in Understanding, 1930-1954: Formation, Exile, and Totalitarianism - Arendt, Hannah (Schocken, 2005)
Few thinkers have addressed the political horrors and ethical complexities of the twentieth century with the insight and passionate intellectual integrity of Hannah Arendt. She was irresistible drawn to the activity of understanding, in an effort to endow historic, political, and cultural events with meaning. Essays in Understanding assembles many of Arendt’s writings from the 1930s, 1940s, and into the 1950s. Included here are illuminating discussions of St. Augustine, existentialism, Kafka, and Kierkegaard: relatively early examinations of Nazism, responsibility and guilt, and the place of religion in the modern world: and her later investigations into the nature of totalitarianism that Arendt set down after The Origins of Totalitarianism was published in 1951. The body of work gathered in this volume gives us a remarkable portrait of Arendt’s developments as a thinker—and confirms why her ideas and judgments remain as provocative and seminal today as they were when she first set them down.

Evidence, memory, identity, and community: four shifting archival paradigms - Cook, Terry (Archival Science, 2013)
This essay argues that archival paradigms over the past 150 years have gone through four phases: from juridical legacy to cultural memory to societal engagement to community archiving. The archivist has been transformed, accordingly, from passive curator to active appraiser to societal mediator to community facilitator. The focus of archival thinking has moved from evidence to memory to identity and community, as the broader intellectual currents have changed from pre-modern to modern to postmodern to contemporary. Community archiving and digital realities offer possibilities for healing these disruptive and sometimes conflicting discourses within our profession.
