Generalized Wigner-Inonu Contractions and Maxwell (Super)Algebras

We consider a class of generalized Inonu-Wigner contraction for semidirect product of two particularly related semisimple Lie (super)algebras. The special class of such contractions provides D=4 Maxwell algebra and recently introduced simple D=4 Maxwell superalgebra. Further we present two types of D=4 N-extended Maxwell superalgebras, the nonstandard one for any N with 1/2 N(N-1) central charges and the standard one, for even N=2k, with k(2k-1) internal symmetry generators.
