About the Book

English summary: The disappearance of Lake Aral is considered as one of the largest environmental disasters of the 20th century induced by humans. Within only a short time span, life throughout the delta of the Amudarja changed radically. The people of this region, their history and culture, their experiences and strategies coping with this catastrophe, as well as their life before have been largely escaped notice. This volume approaches the modern and recent history of the region mainly through a fluid and ephemeral source of knowledge: memory. German description: Das Verschwinden des Aralsees gilt als eine der groaten vom Menschen herbeigefuhrten Umweltkatastrophen des 20. Jahrhunderts. Innerhalb nur weniger Jahre veranderte sich das Leben im gesamten Deltagebiet des Amudarja radikal. Die Menschen dieser Region, ihre Geschichte und Kultur sowie ihre Erfahrungen und Strategien im Umgang mit der Katastrophe aber auch ihr Leben in normaleren Zeiten sind dabei bisher weitgehend unbeleuchtet geblieben. Die karakalpakischen und deutschen Autoren dieses Sammelbandes nahern sich der neueren und jungsten Geschichte des Amudarja-Deltas vor allem uber eine bewegliche und fluchtige Ressource des Wissens: die Erinnerung.
