Update:
Ich hatte gerade mein abschließendes Meeting, und bis zur Ausstellung im Mai soll ich da erstmal nichts veröffentlichen von den Kram den ich da erforscht habe. Stattdessen kann ich aber mal die EInführung posten die ich geschrieben habe, die dafür da ist meine persönliche Meinung zu dem Projekt und der Thematik im ganzen auszudrücken. Das ist jetzt praktisch Seite III von dem Kram den ich geschrieben habe.
A) Introduction
Most
people would think, as a political scientist the primary goal in most
of my work has to do with the understanding of political thoughts and
ideas. This is not entirely the case though, because thoughts and
ideas are based on structures which can be understood outside of
their inherent context. Every structured system can be understood
without the semantics of the written word, and this is an important
fact about the understanding of the environment, history and how it
all overlaps. This is the reason why I was interested in working for
the Maker Trust Fund, the region has a rich history with many single
entities of historic facts, which needed to be made into a persistent
picture. You could say that my job involved charting islands of
information, and linking them together.
My
work is not finished because I reached the end of the research, I
just got a broad overview, and just over 250 years. I may be able to
finish most of the open spaces in an additional year of work. This
has not just to do with relatively scarce bibliographic results that
I got, and the lack of proper scientific research around the area
(which is definitely a shame), but also with the widely scattered
information that plagues constant progress on the subject. The lack
of information about the defensive purposes of the Maker in World War
II are not even a problem, because this will be publicized
eventually. The bigger problem is the information that is not looked
after, what is not preserved by the state, by funds or heritages, by
libraries or the public office. This is a wall which can not easily
be circumvented, and it needs much more work with which the Maker
Trust Fund have started now, and have a reasonable chance of
succeeding. But after all, this is just a try, and there is more
interest needed by people who have the possibilities of preserving
even more. The citizens around the area have a keen interest in the
region, and every person knows some stuff about the Maker, which is
mostly rumors, half-truths and current Maker Junction events, but
nonetheless it is a form of interest. The people lack the funds of
additional help though, and it is hard to say if there could be a
profit in a long term investment if the interest outside the Maker
Rame Peninsula is not so high as it could be.
But
I don't want to end the introduction on a sour note, this is not the
purpose of these words. It is more a hint about possibilities and
chance, a way of showing that the Maker can be of much more interest
than it is today. This does not mean it should be a brightly lit
entertainment centre with a bowling alley, that is possible, but not
desirable. It could be a historic site, in which living history shows
what transpired here over the course of centuries.
This
is an idea which will take a lot of time, because many of the sites
have to be preserved and some are not protected for the time being.
This is also an idea which has to grow over time, it has to be filled
with much more enthusiasm and vigor than I have to offer. It is
likely though, that this place will change in the future much faster,
than it has changed in the past.
