Das emotional aufgeladene und leicht politisierbare Themenfeld der Volkerwanderung ist ein Musterbeispiel fur Chancen und Risiken historischer Analogiebildungen.


The emotional loaded and easily politicised subject of migration is a good example of challenges and risks of historical analogy. From a historical and didactical perspective, this volume focusses on the late antique migration as a period that on one side was of great importance for the European history. However, on the other side was the reason for new myths and political projections. With regard to recent studies the contributions highlight the tensions between academic knowledge, mythification, instrumentalisation as well as history education inside and outside schools.
