Although migrants without regular status are entitled to numerous rights, they are rarely able to assert them in practice. This paper analyzes the challenges that irregular migrants face when enforcing their rights in Switzerland, while focusing on situations of domestic violence and the right to victim support. Furthermore, the paper discusses a potential remedy to the limited access to the respective support services: the introduction of a city ID card. The paper focuses on the city of Bern and follows a multidisciplinary approach, combining the disciplines of law and sociology. The analysis draws on a literature review and five semi-structured expert interviews. The results show that many irregular migrants refrain from claiming the protections they are legally entitled to, and while the interviewees consider a city ID card as a valuable remedy, much of its potential seems to depend on whether third parties would officially recognize the card.

In the second half of the 19th century, Buddhist bells from Japan began to arrive in Switzerland. The fact that these were objects listed in the so-called ethnographic collections is not surprising and the history of collecting has been a subject of postcolonial research. However, remarkably, the travel route of these bells, some of which weighed over a ton, could not be documented. Until now, the way how the bells were imported into Switzerland as unknown, and the problem of their provenance unsolved. This article argues that a global history approach provides new insights in two respects: The consideration of materiality allows a new nderstanding of the objects, while the activities of local collectors, seen from a micro-global point of view, reveal the local imprints of the global. Within this rationale, a history of individual bells in the possession of individual art lovers and museums translates into a history of scrap metal trade, allows to consider the disposal of disliked objects at their place of origin, and opens up a global framing of local history. Using global history as a concept, the historicity of the global gains visibility as we look at the intersection of materiality and the local involvement of global networks. Ultimately, as we follow the journey of the bells, reinterpreting scrap metal into art has formed a striking way in which local history assimilates the global.

This article examines a figure of transcultural misunderstandings: Katekisama. A statue of this name is owned by a Japanese Buddhist monastery and kept as national heritage in the national Museum in Tokyo – but this figure is none other than Erasmus of Rotterdam. Coming to Japan as a ship figure more than 400 years ago, it has shifted, accumulated, and merged identities for centuries.

Western museums hold numerous Japanese objects, typically gathered by collectors during travels in Japan and then donated to local institutions. This simple scenario is by no means always the case, as can be seen with the numerous Japanese bronze bells in Swiss museum collections. The story of how the bells changed from holding significant functions within Japanese monastic and secular communities to being sold for their materiality and sheer weight as they travel across the globe tells a complex story of how objects change in meaning as they travel. As the bells were eventually relegated to museum archives, their stories help to shed light on global transfers, interculturality, and cultural misunderstandings, as they narrowly escape destruction. Their stories show the futility of claiming global understanding of art when, despite globalization, we are in the end products of our own localized traditions and understandings.

Atsushi Shibasaki
This is a conversation between Antonio Negri, one of the most preeminent political philosophers, and Professor Atsushi Shibasaki, who was a guest professor at the Institute for European Global Studies during 2017/2018, with a translation by Professor Teresa Pullano. Their talk, which was based on a letter by Professor Shibasaki, deals with a range of issues, from Negri’s academic background and his forthcoming book to his view on music and films. In particular, their dialogue extends to reaching a comparison between Negri and Makoto Oda and Yusuke Maki, who are less well-known in Europe but have much in common with Negri’s theory and philosophy. Thus, the interview reveals many significant but somewhat overlooked theoretical and philosophical possibilities of cross-cultural interaction between Negri and non-European thinkers.

Demokratie spielt im schweizerischen Selbstverständnis eine zentrale Rolle. In einem scharfen Kontrast zu den weitreichenden politischen Mitbestimmungsrechten stehen in der Schweiz die rechtlichen Möglichkeiten der Mitbestimmung am Arbeitsplatz und im Unternehmen. Vorschläge für eine stärkere Verankerung der Partizipationsrechte der Arbeitnehmenden hatten politisch keine Chance. Es bedurfte vielmehr einen Anstoss von Aussen – der geplante EWR-Beitritt –, damit die heute geltende minimale Mitwirkungsregelung Eingang in schweizerisches Recht fanden.So deckt sich heute das schweizerische Recht der Mitwirkung der Arbeitnehmenden mit den Anforderungen, die sich aus dem Arbeitsvölkerrecht und aus dem EU-Recht ergeben. Die geltenden Mitwirkungsregelungen werden durch die Veränderungen der Arbeitswelt im Zuge der Digitalisierung herausgefordert. Gefordert sind von den Sozialpartnern, aber auch dem Gesetzgeber, den Gerichten und der Arbeitsrechtswissenschaft, Ideen und Konzepte, wie Mitsprache und Mitbestimmung der Beschäftigten in neuen hybriden Arbeitsformen möglich ist.

This article considers ageing in cities of the Global South, with a particular focus on urban transformation and place-making in the old city center of Patan, Kathmandu Valley. Building upon discussions evolving around concepts such as ‘active ageing’, ‘environmental gerontology’ and ‘age-friendly cities’, terms largely coined in northern America and western Europe, the article addresses their productivity – and challenges – when applied in the case of Nepal. It considers a larger field of ageing in the realm of transcultural place-making, since the contextualization includes global circulations of ideas and practices related to cultural heritage, transnational migration and urban transformation through economic liberalization. The ethnographic material collected between 2014–17 among Newar senior residents is discussed with respect to questions of ownership, participation and responsibility. It highlights the entangled relationship of socio-religious relations and built environment, as well as intangible heritage, seeking to stress the importance of ephemeral and interstitial spaces that do not necessarily resonate with ‘global’ concepts of public and private, wellbeing and development.

Responding to transformations often described by the shorthand expression “globalization,” the Europainstitut changed its English name in 2013 to Institute for European Global Studies. Five years later, members of the Institute came together to discuss their different views and assess the aims of European Global Studies. Among the points touched upon are the importance of different disciplinary backgrounds in this endeavor, the question of interdisciplinarity and/or transdisciplinarity, as well as the perceived challenges and promises with regard to the future of European Global Studies.The latest issue of the E-Journal «Global Europe» contains a transcript of parts of this discussion, edited and framed with introductory paragraphs in order to increase readability and facilitate comprehension. The purpose of publishing this discussion on European Global Studies is to clarify the current agenda of the Institute, to showcase the plurality of approaches pursued under its roof, and also to outline its innovative potential for the Social Sciences and the Humanities in the 21st century.
为了应对经常被简称为“全球化”的变革，欧洲研究所于2013年将其英文名称改为欧洲全球研究所(Institute for European Global Studies)。五年后，研究所的成员聚在一起讨论他们的不同观点，并评估欧洲全球研究的目标。其中涉及的要点是在这一努力中不同学科背景的重要性，跨学科和/或跨学科的问题，以及关于欧洲全球研究未来的挑战和承诺。最新一期的电子期刊《全球欧洲》载有部分讨论的文字记录，经过编辑并附有介绍性段落，以提高可读性和便于理解。发表这篇关于欧洲全球研究的讨论的目的是阐明该研究所目前的议程，展示其所追求的多元化方法，并概述其在21世纪社会科学和人文科学方面的创新潜力。
