        Abstract
        "Africa research in Austria is multifaceted, multidisciplinary and multilocal. Besides the continuous output of many scholars, this is also shown by the activities of the research group “African Studies at Austrian Universities”, established in 2013. The book Africa Research in Austria: Approaches and Perspectives is a product of this fruitful engagement. The collection assembles contributions to the second workshop of the research group, which was held in Innsbruck, 19-20 March 2015. The topics covered span from pan-Africanism and popular culture, the use of research films in African studies, and reflections on the Nigerian writer Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie to students’ exchange between Tanzania and the two German states, the role of the UN in the Congo Crisis, and post-colonial conflicts and limited access orders in Africa. It contains contributions by Eric Burton (Vienna), Birgit Englert (Vienna), Andreas Exenberger (Innsbruck), Maximilian Feldner (Graz), Thomas Lechner (Graz), Silvia Lercher (Innsbruck), Ulrich Pallua (Innsbruck), Arno Sonderegger (Vienna) and Thomas Spielbüchler (Linz)."
         
        Die Afrikaforschung in Österreich ist vielfältig, multidisziplinär und multilokal. Neben den fortgesetzten Bemühungen verschiedener WissenschaftlerInnen wird das auch durch die Aktivitäten der Arbeitsgruppe „Afrikastudien an österreichischen Universitäten“ zum Ausdruck gebracht, die 2013 gegründet wurde. Das Buch Africa Research in Austria: Approaches and Perspectives ist ein Ergebnis dieses fruchtbaren Engagements. Die Sammlung vereinigt Beiträge zum zweiten Workshop der Arbeitsgruppe, der am 19. und 20. März 2015 in Innsbruck abgehalten wurde. Die Themen reichen dabei vom Pan-Afrikanismus und der Populärkultur, der Verwendung von Forschungsfilmen in den Afrikastudien und Reflexionen über die Nigerianische Schriftstellerin Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie zu historischen Themen wie dem Studierendenaustausch zwischen Tansania und den beiden deutschen Staaten, der Rolle der UNO in der Kongokrise und dem Zusammenhang von post-kolonialen Konflikten und institutionellen Ordnungen in Afrika. Es enthält Beiträge von Eric Burton (Wien), Birgit Englert (Wien), Andreas Exenberger (Innsbruck), Maximilian Feldner (Graz), Thomas Lechner (Graz), Silvia Lercher (Innsbruck), Ulrich Pallua (Innsbruck), Arno Sonderegger (Wien) und Thomas Spielbüchler (Linz).
