Description: Cacher
Perceptions of large-scale flooding attrack growing popular and scholarly attention worldwide. Recent floodings have shown how vulnerable society is. Rising sea levels create tensions among policy makers and a desire to reflect on disasters from a longterm perspective. Meanwhile, the new flows of information make it difficult to new generations to discern real disasters from media wrought disasters, in particular for young generations who never experienced a real disaster.
In this session we want to show how the perception and management of disasters changed over time. This is approached from several angles, from the viewpoint of policy makers, engineers, politicians, historians, and filmmakers, so as to get a broad spectrum of both professional interests and the general audience. We choose three themes: How did floods enhance processes of nationalisation, how did floods influence water and landscape management, and how did perception and heritage of floods change.
Our starting point is that mentalities and behaviours mutually influence one another. Since the ICHS congress takes place in the Netherlands and the Netherlands have a very long history of coping with water and flooding, the session aims at putting the Dutch experience in an international perspective. We hope that this session will contribute to constructing new worldviews on humans and water in the past. In this way we hope to motivate educators, policy makers and entrepreneurs to devise attitudes, policies and corporate responsibility for our watery environment in the future.

Flood Governance in the “English Lowlands”: The Case of Humberside
Much of eastern England represents a “low country” similar to that found in the Netherlands. On both sides of the North Sea, the land required drainage to transform it from marshland into a productive agricultural region and both communities developed similar local practices to effect this change. In the Netherlands, the importance of the waterschappen or water boards has long been acknowledged but, conversely, their English equivalents, the Internal Drainage Boards are relatively unknown. This paper looks at the changing role of flood governance in these English lowlands with particular reference to the Humberside region of the North East since 1953. In particular, the recent emphasis on sub-contracting water management services will be considered in relationship to flood and flood risk management.

Nationalising flood relief in the netherlands 1740-1861
Since 1798 the nascent central state became a major actor in flood relief in the Dutch delta. Yet, flood relief has a much older history in which local and regional water managers and civil charity played a prominent role. In this contribution I explain the transition from a proto national phase of flood relief to a national phase. This resulted in a specific Dutch style of flood relief. A blend of emergency and reconstruction aid in which civil charity, central state involvement and the contribution of the Dutch kings mobilised a whole nation in times of calamitous flood disasters.

Cities and rivers: flood control in the Po Valley in the Late Middle Ages (thirteenth-fifteenth centuries)
Intensification of land use in the High and Late Middle Ages in the Po Valley, by means of land reclamation and diffusion of irrigation canals, had deeply affected the hydrology of the Po Valley, leading to an increase in the magnitude of floods and flooding frequency in the last three centuries of the Middle Ages. The Italian cities, that had jurisdiction on most of the countryside and of the rivers, committed substantial resources to flood control. Statutes of the Italian cities often contain detailed rules concerning the construction and the maintenance of canals and embankments. Which tools were used by the cities to implement their system of flood control? How did Urban elites modified their relation to the landscape to face the increasing menace of floods? Some statutes seem to show an increasing awareness of the complexity of the relations between landscape and hydrology. For example, some statutes show an increasing awareness of the relation between deforestation and alteration of the hydrology, by setting limits to the process of the land reclamations they had often previously encouraged.

The storm of 1953 in the Netherlands: perception of filmmakers and historians
The latest disastrous flooding in the Netherlands took place in 1953. An exceptional storm surge submerged the entire southwest of the country in the middle of the winter. Over 1800 people lost their lives as a result of collapsing houses and sudden submersion, or camping outdoors for two days or more under appalling circumstances, among those freezing temperatures, starvation and unfortunate, inadequate responses from both inside and outside the area. A great deal of research has been devoted to the 1953 storm disaster. For the larger audience also films were made by several famous artists, among them Bert Haanstra. The recent new attempt The Storm Surge (De storm )(2009) by B. Sombogaart gives rise to the question what changes occurred in the last half century regarding the causes of the disaster and the immediate responses. How is this characterised and visualized by filmmakers and how is their view influenced by changes in scholarly research?

Description: Cacher
The general program on "Austroslavism, Panslavism, Neoslavism and the Notion of Slavic Solidarity Today" is articulated into three panels of at least three papers each. The third panel on "The Notion of Slavic Solidarity Today" will analyse the development of this concept in the context of East-Central Europe during the last two centuries and will single out moments of particular relevance, as the experience of Poland during the 70s and the 80s of the 20th century. Finally it will be analysed the concept of Slavic Solidarity today, when the enlarged European Union and the general phenomenon of globalisation are rapidly changing the traditional historical and political perspectives.

Ukraine as a Panslavic Keystone: the Views of Nikolay (Mykola) Kostomarov
During the first part of 19th Century, in the Ukrainian gubernias that belonged to the tsarist Empire, rose then still immature movement of "Ukrainophilism". In that period, the phenomenon had a typical form of discovering of ethno-anthropology and of country and bucolic traditions. Also a literature was born which focused on Ukraine or, according to the politically
correct lexicon, "Little Ruthenia". Gradually, this process involved also a requirement of regional specificity, with regards to local characteristics and cultural typologies. Present essay inquires mainly thought of a young historian Nikolaj Ivanovič Kostomarov, the first "intelligent" who was able to imagine a structured idea of Ukrainian nation, even if deeply rooted in a federal panslavic organization, without tsar and nobility, democratic and inspired by evangelic teaching. In this way, Ukraine would have been a "keystone" of the panslavic federation.
After the short experience of the Brotherhood of Saints Cyril and Methodius (1845/6), established by Kostomarov and based on the example of Decembrist societies. The Russian authorities brought Kostomarov and his associates (among others Ševčenko and Kuliš), as well as their ideas for trial. However, this thought established the grounds of the Ukrainian nation building process, although the general political situation within the Russian Empire has changed, especially after the Polish January Uprising (1863).

The Crisis of the Slavic Idea and Its New Meaning Today
In the beginning of the 20th century the Slavic idea or idea of Slavic solidarity has endured the first serious crisis, connected with October revolution in Russia. Only during the Second World War the idea of Slavic solidarity became again actual. After the end of the war official interest of the Soviet authorities in Slavs was based on political factors: all Slavic states became socialist states.
The second serious crisis of the idea of Slavic solidarity in the 20th century again had its roots in Russia and has been connected with crash of the European socialism. The conformation of the depth of the crisis was the train of wars in the former Yugoslavia in 1990s.
Slavs have always brought the special, unique contribution to western civilization. Today they lose their identity, their voice in powerful chorus of the western neighbors is barely audible. Their individuality is disappearing. In our opinion it is bad for all. The problem of the Slavic countries is to pass through an epoch of their modernization and world globalization without losing their national identity.
Today many Slavists predict that in Slavic studies the culturological component will increase, and cooperation of the Slavs in cultural area will be favorable to all of them, especially to small Slavic countries. The Slavic solidarity in each historical epoch had their own meaning. And in the postcommunist epoch it is based more and more on culture.

Slavic Solidarity in the Balkans Since 1945.
In the aftermath of WWII, socialist Yugoslavia spread the slogan of "brotherhood and unity" among Yugoslav nations, especially those of Slavic origin. The regime tried to cover the interethnic conflicts that marked the period of WWII with a veil of oblivion and to build the new society on the tradition of partisan struggle against the enemy. In view of that,it prohibited any ethnic reprisals and even fostered the idea of Slavic solidarity with Bulgarians, who had sided with Germans up to the autumn of 1944. Together with Moscow, Belgrade strove to become the center of the Slavic world, and so it was no accident that in 1946 the city hosted the Second Slavic Congress promoting the notion of a new Renaissance of the Slavic world in a socialist disguise. Yet such aspirations were of short duration as in 1948 Stalin ousted the Communist Party of Yugoslavia from the Cominform, the organization uniting the major European Communist Parties. Even if the idea of Pan-Slavic reciprocity was thus consigned to oblivion, the regime increasingly cultivated the idea of Slavic solidarity within the Yugoslav borders. The beginning of the 1950s even vitnessed Tito advocating the uniformity of all Slavic nations in Yugoslavia in terms of cultural identity, which however was strongly opposed by the Slovene ideologue Edvard Kardelj.In the following three decades, the co-existence of Serbs, Croats, Slovenes, Montenegrins, Macedonians an Bosnian Muslims developed into a burning political question since the regime did not manage to overcome the civilization and economic gap between them. After Tito's death, the antagonisms clearly manifested themselves in the polemic on the future Yugoslav order, while after the disintegration of Yugoslavia, they degenerated into bloody wars that had a devastating impact on any notion of mutual solidarity. Nowadays, one can hardly talk about it.

Post-Panslavism? Political Connotations of Slavicness in 21st Century Europe
In 2008, the editorial board of the scholarly journal “Slavic Review. Interdisciplinary Quarterly of Russian, Eurasian, and East European Studies” discussed whether the periodical should change its name or not. All board members agreed that the title and subtitle of the journal should not change -- despite the fact that, according to the minutes of the board
meeting, “Slavic” has become a largely flexible, even empty, signifier (outside of linguistics), which the subtitle explains. So in the humanities “Slavic” functions as a connotation for something which experts can decipher while the term itself has lost the very core of its meaning.
However, there are still political contexts in which Slavdom is invoked either as a pattern of identification or a framework for analysis or a cultural myth. In the post-Soviet realm, “Slavic” more often than not is used as a synonym for pan-Russianism; the Vatican employs the concept for ecumenical purposes; and in the mixed Christian-Muslim societies of the Balkans it stands for orthodoxy. New developments are the emergence of a medieval fiction of non-
Christian, pagan “Slavicness” as well as of decidedly anti-Slavic currents in Slavic-speaking societies like Bulgaria, Croatia or Macedonia.
Thus, as in the 19th and 20th centuries when the romantic idea of Slavic unity emerged and Panslavism, Austroslavism, Neoslavism, Yugoslavism and Czechoslovakism were conceived, in the 21st century too the nationalisms of the Slavophone societies of East Central Europe, the Balkans and Eurasia proved to be much more viable in political terms than any all-Slav design with relics in the realms of religion and culture.
The presentation is based on the topical issue “Gemeinsam einsam. Die Slawische Idee nach dem Panslawismus” (Lonely together: The Slavic Idea after Panslavism) of the German monthly “Osteuropa” (vol. 59, 2009, no. 12), edited by Agnieszka Gasior and Stefan Troebst.

Description: Cacher
Of all the cities of the Latin East Acre is the one which changed hands by violence most often. Its capture in 1104 is generally referred to fairly briefly, and indeed comparatively little attention has been paid to its importance in the 12th century. The city fell quickly to Saladin after Hattin in 1187, in contrast to Tyre to the north which held out stubbornly and ultimately formed the base for the attempted reconquest of the kingdom in the Third Crusade. But it is the siege of Acre from 1189 to 1191 which has naturally attracted much attention. The successful outcome allowed the continuation of the kingdom down to 1291 when Acre became the chief and indeed almost only city of the Latin State. This city and its structure is now familiar to us because of intense recent archaeological investigation. In this session the 'Society for the Study of the Crusades and the Latin East' is seeking to understand the importance of Acre and its role in crusading history over a period of nearly 200 years.

Did the Templars Lose the Holy Land?: the military orders and the defense of Acre, 1291
This paper will investigate the claim, sometimes advanced by contemporaries in the 13th and 14th centuries, that the military orders in general and the Templars in particular were responsible for the loss of the Holy Land. It will examine the ways in which the Templars were responsible for the defense of Acre, evaluate how well they did in that responsibility, and draw conclusions about their culpability--or lack thereof--for the events which culminated in the fall of the Kingdom of Jerusalem.

The Fall of Acre (1291): considerations of annalists in Genoa, Pisa and Venice (14th-16th centuries)
The lecture is about the creation of memory of the Italians’ participation in the defence of the Acre against the Mamelukes’ final attack in spring 1291. It examines the interpretations of Italian activities written down in Genoa and Venice by some official and semi-offiial historiographers between the late 13th century and the early 16th century. It examines the various sources of those annals and chronicles (such as the accounts of eyewitnesses and of mendicant friars) and shows the authors’ strategies. Especially from the middle of the fifteenth century, from the conquest of Constantinope by the Ottoman turks, the Genoese, and even more the Venetian historiographers, emphasized on their ancestors’ participation in the defence of Arcre (1291) and the crusader states as well as in their role in the conquest of the Holy Land. They did so in order to defend their hometowns against public opinion that blamed the maritime republics severely for their close economic relationship with the Islamic World in times of war and crusade respectively.

Magister Thadeus on the Fall of Acre
Thadeus' Ystoria de desolatione et conculcatione civitatis acconenis, a near-contemporary account of the fall of Acre, is hardly ever referred to in crusade literature, although its description of the events in spring 1291 is vivid, dramatic and detailed. The Ystoria places the events both in their temporal frame and in an interpretative frame, concentrating on moral contemplations engendered by the catastrophe, and on its place of these events in Christian history. The paper will present observations from a close reading of the text, and will also look at the text in a comparative context of recent studies on the earliest Christian responses to the fall of Acre.

Description: Cacher
Ever since Cicero’s historia magistra vitae historians and philosophers discussed the question of the relevance of historical knowledge for the present. In this session this question will mainly be addressed from the perspective of historical periodization. Point of departure is the proposal to recognize the years from the Fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989 to the global financial crisis of 2008, as a historical period with a specific character of its own.
When dealing with this question two types of issues will be discussed. Firstly, there are a some more theoretical problems, such as 1) what is the role of periodization in historical writing? Was Huizinga right when saying that all historical writing presupposes periodization?, 2) is periodization inevitably tainted by speculative philosophies of history and would it thus also invite the totalitairian politics of those systems?, 3) how are periods demarcated from each other(one should distinguish, for example, between ‘watersheds’, such as 476 or 1492 and ‘ruptures’, such as 1789 or 1989)?, 4) may the present be included in periodization (think of Fukuyama’s claim that 1989 marked the beginning of a new period, paradoxically labelled by him as ‘the end of history’, or the claim that 2008 saw already the end of that same period)?, or, 5) the reverse, is the present always implicitly part of our periodizations whether we like it or not (for example, 476 could acquire its meaning only with the Renaissance)?
The second type of question is of a more historical and political character. One may think of questions, such as 1) is there an analogy between 1648 and 2008 since in both cases a period of univeralism (religion in the case of 1648 and the global financial system in the case of 2008) was replaced by a multipolar world?, 2) is there an illuminating parallel between feudalism and that global financial system insofar as in both little or no room was left for the notion of public interest?, 3) how should 2008 be located in the periodization proposed by Carl Schmitt in his The Concept of the Political (1927)?, 4) is a return of the political to be expected in the sense of Quentin Skinner’s republicanism?, and, if so, 5) is that an evolution to be welcomed or feared?
Self-evidently, the answers to be given to these questions will differ if dealt with from a political philosophical, economical, or sociological perspective. But all- pervasive will always be the main issue: what are the historian’s responsibilities to her/his own time? Does s/he best serve her/his own time by carefully avoiding any reference to the present, or is it part of the historian’s assignment to discuss the meaning of the past for the present?

When history comes to us like the impact of a meteorite
In 2008 the neo-liberal ideology collapsed without our having a viable alternative model for making sense of the world we are living in. This situation has its antecedents in the history of the West. We may think here of the conflict between Pope and Emperor resulting in a tentative and still embryonic separation of Church and State. Or of the Wars of Religion resulting in the modern liberal State. Or of the demise of the Ancien Regime resulting in democracy, nationalism and socialism.
In all these cases one was empty-handed at the out-start of the crisis; and only gradually all of society succeeded in adapting itself to wholly new and unforeseen circumstances. History did not develop dialectically here - but rather in the way that global ecology gradually and painfully adapted itself to the impact of a huge meteorite.
In my talk I wish to elaborate on some of these lessons from the recent and more remote past. This, then, is where history has its own contribution to make to an open and clear-headed assessment of our contemporary predicament.

Contemporary Capitalism
I plan to concentrate on the recent crisis of capitalismus which seems to have reached its climax in 2008-09, but is not yet over. I want to put in into the context of the history of capitalism and its recurrent crises. In which respect did the most recent crisis correspond to the old pattern, what has been/is new? I will speak in favor of recovering and redefining a concept of "embedded capitalism" for social and economic history. - More specifically I hope to speak about the "temporalities" of capitalism (Sewell's concept): a basic change from its earlier future-orientedness (savings, accumulation, investment, long-term perspectives) to its new crisis-prone present-mindedness (stress on consumption, borrowing, fluidity and solutions at the cost of the future). Comparing with the crisis of the late 20s and early 30s, I may reflect on the different role of the media and the role of historical memory then and now as well as on the shrinking scope of perceived alternatives to capitalism , its seeming unavoidability and its growing resistance against necessary reform.

Narrative: A Cool Instrument for Hot Topics
In the wake of postmodernism and the linguistic turn which brought narrative to the foreground of academic attention, narrative – regarded as a concept, a construct, a practice – has made quite astonishing inroads into politics and power negotiations in public life. It is not only that “narrative,” the word, is repeatedly invoked by analysts of national conflict in every media venue, but the concept of the proprietary narrative is recognized and deployed by ethnic groups, nationalist movements, and people in public life and authority in virtually every state. Historians in many areas of specialized research have responded by enlisting themselves in explicitly political projects aimed at reconciliation and peacemaking through the means of new narrative construction – the attempt to find the commonly acceptable narrative between peoples, to construct the “reconciliation” narrative and build the groundwork for political reconciliation.

History and Human Nature
Although generally thought to be extrinsic to historical research, philosophy of history still has much to offer for assessment of certain unexamined presuppositions of both popular and professional ideas about history and politics. This paper will take up in a tentative way some exemplary problems that the interaction between evolutionary psychology and history has set for them.
1.)“Human nature”: Has this concept any proper place in either?
2.) Time scales: Four millennia of recorded history, or even forty millennia of homo sapiens sapiens, are not enough time to allow significant evolutionary change in the human genome. Evolutionary psychologists say to historians that they must lengthen the time span they cover if they want to give their theories a fair hearing.
3.) Appropriate unit of analysis: Historians seldom reflect on the theoretical justifications for the grain of their analyses—of biographies and microhistories, for example—but perhaps can learn from analogies from the way that evolutionary psychologists have formulated this issue.
4.) Causation of ideas and cultural artifacts: Richard Dawkins has proposed “memes” as cultural analogues of genes or suites of genes, in that they can be replicated, transmitted, and selected for or against. Memes can be techniques for tool-building, superstitions or religious beliefs (identical, Dawkins thinks), scientific theories, or indeed any well-defined cultural artifact. Understanding how ideas and other cultural artifacts come into being, are received (or “transmitted”), and prevail against other styles or ideas is an essential task of intellectual and cultural historians, so here is an obvious opportunity for historians to engage evolutionary psychologists.

History as the Imaginary of Politics
History, politics, and rhetoric were all "invented" during the time of the polis. Hegel argued that history, politics (law and the state), and narrative constituted an indissociable trinity--you could not have one without the other. In what sense does politics presuppose history and vice versa? Is history the imaginary of politics? Can politics do without history? What are the prospects for a post-historical politics?
