Vandenhoeck & Ruprecht GmbH & Co KG Gelehrtes Leben: Karl Hampe, das Mittelalter und
Book SynopsisDas Leben des Heidelberger Historikers Karl Hampe (18691936) kann in vielem als exemplarisch bezeichnet werden. Er stammte aus einer bildungsbürgerlichen Familie, genoss eine humanistische Erziehung und tat sich seit früher Jugend als Musterschüler hervor. Im jungen Kaiserreich sozialisiert, wandte er sich als junger Wissenschaftler dem Mittelalter zu und glaubte, als Herausgeber deutscher Geschichtsquellen eine nationale Aufgabe zu erfüllen. Einer breiteren Öffentlichkeit wurde er während des Ersten Weltkriegs durch seine Schriften zur "belgischen Frage", danach durch mehrere Gesamtdarstellungen zur mittelalterlichen Geschichte bekannt. Wahrscheinlich war er seinerzeit der prominenteste deutsche Mediävist.

Am Beispiel von Savoyen-Piemont und der Kurpfalz geht Cornel Zwierlein dieser Frage im Rahmen der vorliegenden Vergleichs- und Beziehungsgeschichte zur politischen Kommunikation nach. Er vergleicht dazu die Denkrahmen, wie sie sich in den Entscheidungsfindungsprozessen in Italien unter dem Stichwort "discorso" und Deutschland unter dem Stichwort "Lex Dei" manifestierten und weist daran die Osmose zwischen der zeitgenössischen politischen Theorie und der jeweiligen Praxis politischer Entscheidungen nach. Unter dem Stichwort "Europäisierung" betrachtet der Autor schließlich die komplexen Transfer- und Entwicklungsprozesse im Dreieck Frankreich Italien Deutschland.

Vandenhoeck & Ruprecht GmbH & Co KG Politische Kulturgeschichte der
Book SynopsisText in German. "Between the wars" - the term signals that the years of the Weimar Republic as the "crisis years of classical modernism" and the thirties are linked in a more dense historical continuity than long assumed. Wolfgang Hardtwig's "Political Cultural History" systematizes this question. His topics are the politicization of space and time, the different form and relevance of war experience, change and the political instrumentalization of body experience, the susceptibility of science to holistic concepts and finally the importance of new visual advertising strategies in consumer society. The book combines reflections on the theory of political cultural history with case studies saturated with material and thus provides new answers to the basic question of German history in the 20th century: How was it possible for National Socialism to gain a foothold in German society?

Vandenhoeck & Ruprecht GmbH & Co KG Die Aufklarung und ihre Weltwirkung
Book SynopsisThe Enlightenment revolutionized consciousness by stretching it into the Kantian polarity of "Age of Enlightenment" and "Enlightened Age". Enlightenment means on the one hand a clearly delimited historical epoch, on the other hand a universal process that continues to this day. The Enlightenment accelerated modernization processes like the rationalization of statehood. With her progressive thinking she established the belief in inner-worldly happiness realization and thus gave all cultural, social and political processes a new dynamic. The Enlightenment has European origins, but it worked and works worldwide. The current world contrast between Islamism and Western civilization can therefore be understood as a result of the effects of the Enlightenment.

Book SynopsisThe contributions are devoted to various manifestations of the formation of rule and the regional consolidation of rule in the Middle Ages from the areas of medieval art and building history, from literary studies and source studies, from archeology and the comparative interpretation of Palatinate research as well as from the analysis of outpatient rulership practice. The focus of the volume is on the representative side of the travel kingdom in the buildings connected to it, as well as the literary representation of actions and places. All in all, the result is a balance sheet of the Palatinate research as well as the opening of new perspectives for future studies on Palatinate, residences and court culture in the early Middle Ages.

Book SynopsisThe New World was at the center of a variety of interests. Only slowly, however, did it become a space of the imaginary, the utopian, and the experience of others and oneself. Christian Kiening describes for the first time coherently how the two Americas are discovered as objects of aesthetic, literary and scientific meaning, how complex processes of exchange and intersections arise and figures of transition - the feral European and the Europeanized savage - emerge. The diverse stories of alterity and mimesis, of utopian and literary islands are dealt with. Kiening's brilliant study offers a prehistory of exoticism and a longing for nature and reveals the cultural and historical conditions under which the foreign is represented as the foreign.

Vandenhoeck & Ruprecht GmbH & Co KG Okonomien des Begehrens, Okonomien des Erzahlens:
Book SynopsisIn the short quivering narratives of the late Middle Ages, called mars, love and sexuality are "negotiated" in a very literal sense: love and sexuality are not only described with mercantile metaphors, but also appear as a medium of exchange that is offered, exchanged or resold. Susanne In her study, Reichlin analyzes this exchange of the dissimilar and shows how the narratives are also formally shaped by it: Forms of reciprocity, displacement and circulation not only constitute the economies of desire, but also those of narration. It also relates literary barter to the question of the relationship between gift and barter in premodern societies, which is widely discussed in medieval studies and cultural philosophy.

Book SynopsisContingency - it is repeatedly stated - was only "discovered" in the early modern period. Before that, all incidents, no matter how inexplicable, were interpreted as expressions of a higher, godly order. The anthology takes this postulate as an opportunity to shed light on the diversity of medieval contingency concepts in literary texts. On the basis of exemplary analyzes of legends, ancient and court novels as well as fairs, poetry and novels of the early modern period, questions are asked about genre-specific contingency concepts as well as about literary-historical shifts and reassignments.

Book SynopsisThis book studies the transformations of the figure of Faust found in the Faust books dating from the 16th to the early 18th century, which laid the foundation for the literary fame of the figure of Faust as the devil's confederate.The figure of Faust was repeatedly reworked in many texts of this era, undergoing a considerable transformation in the process. At the center of the discussion in this volume lie the themes of curiositas and audacity, fear of damnation and an anguished conscience, melancholy and despair.Of particular interest are the junctures of Faust as sorcerer and learned man, caught between exemplary typification and individualisation processes, between legend and damnation.

Almost all of the private and public welfare personnel were recruited from them. The social reformers from the bourgeoisie and the middle class mediated between their own norms, their own attitude towards life, the fear of revolution or unrest, the desire to create a new community and all of the opposing trends and tendencies of an industrialized and unstable class society, whose problem of poverty was obvious. In this study, Marcus Gräser analyzes the mutual significance of the relationship between poverty, middle class and welfare state using the example of Germany and the USA.

Gironda traces the development and specific characteristics in a comparison between Germany and Italy in the 19th and early 20th centuries. He investigates the extent to which citizenship with its social and political references makes the process of nation building tangible as something real. It becomes clear to which socio-political and socio-economic conditions the states reacted when recording modern citizenship and how closely the survival of the principle of descent was linked to political, social and economic characteristics.

Book SynopsisSmall-scale living environments shaped existence from the German Empire to the Nazi era. For the contemporaries, everyday activities in a small room were a matter of course. In a changing world, one's own community, city and region created identity and meaning. What was the relationship between regional identity and other identitary reference systems, what ideas were associated with the design of the regional and what influence did it exert on society and politics? Using the example of Bavarian Swabia, Martina Steber follows the mental construction of the regional and assesses its function and relevance in the very period in which the ambivalence of modernity was so dazzling and horrific at the same time.

Vandenhoeck & Ruprecht GmbH & Co KG Kontrolle und Repression: Individuelle
Book SynopsisBabett Bauer analyzes the connection between the experience of dictatorship and individual identity creation in the GDR from a double perspective. Interviews with contemporary witnesses are directly related to files of the State Security Service and subjective realities from the "real socialist" everyday life of the dictatorship are traced against the background of state control and repression. In this way, a spectrum of the most varied types of experience and handling of state mechanisms of oppression unfolds, ranging from arrangements to forced adaptation and compromise to collective system opposition and consistent system rejection. On the basis of selected individual cases, the author shows the means and methods with which the State Security Service worked and how this has affected the life stories of those affected to this day.

Vandenhoeck & Ruprecht GmbH & Co KG Hannah Arendt weitergedacht: Ein Symposium
Book SynopsisFew philosophers and social scientists of the 20th century are likely to have had an intellectual influence on the debates in science and the public as much as Hannah Arendt. At the same time, only a few were so controversial, only a few were so polarized and only a few saw themselves exposed to such intense hostility as they did. A number of their theses and considerations met with energetic opposition and triggered downright hateful debates, some of which are still carried on today. Hannah Arendt is rightly regarded as a stimulating thinker - who will possibly continue to have an effect in the future, especially through her problems. In this volume, philosophers, political scientists, sociologists and historians take up Hannah Arendt's ideas, problems and considerations and continue them critically.

Book SynopsisThis book is the first time a detailed historical account of the process of SED disempowerment and democratization up to the March 1990 election is available. The text is supplemented by numerous diagrams with which the votes of the population are quantified and evaluated. Using the example of Saxony, the pacemaker of the revolution, the developments in districts, districts, municipalities and companies in interaction with international and national politics are examined and the main driving forces of development are described. The book will have a lasting impact on the image of the "Wende". It leaves no doubt that the population was the central actor in the events. This makes it plausible why developments did not stop when the GDR was renewed, but instead culminated in German unity.

Book SynopsisThe focus of the volume is on the negative factors for the establishment and consolidation of democratic constitutional states resulting from previous autocratic regimes with totalitarian features. The fall of the Iron Curtain and the collapse of the one-party regimes in Central and Eastern Europe favored democratic developments in many countries. But they went different ways, and some of them abandoned the path of democratic transformation that had been taken initially after a short time. The great differences in the eastern transformations raise the question of why, at first glance, very similar starting conditions led to very different results. What role did the totalitarian hereditary burden of "actually existing socialism" play in this?

Many of the believers died, thousands were imprisoned, lost their jobs, or otherwise harassed. Neglected for many years by the public and by historical research, the Jehovah's Witnesses are no longer "forgotten victims".

Book SynopsisText in German. The extreme right in Germany has so far not produced a permanently successful party. In recent years there have been spectacular individual successes by right wing formations. However, the extreme right usually fails in elections. It can also currently be observed that for the right wing party, the NPD, which is currently to be assessed as the strongest, success and failure are close to one another. The party celebrated entries into the state parliament in Saxony (2004) and Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania (2006) were followed by sobering defeats, e.g. in Schleswig-Holstein and North Rhine-Westphalia (both in 2005) or in Hesse and Lower Saxony (both in 2008).

Such personalities as the philosopher Hugo Bergmann, the historian Hans Kohn and the publicist Robert Weltsch actively participated in the public debates at the time. They turned their experiences in a supernational monarchic world full of conflict into the basis for realising the project of a federal Jewish-Arab commonwealth in Palestine.

Seine Memoiren erscheinen jetzt erstmals vollständig übersetzt und bringen Persönlichkeit und Werk des großen Gelehrten in den deutschen Sprachraum zurück.Im dritten und abschließenden Band der "Erinnerungen" lässt Simon Dubnow seine Zeit im Berlin der Weimarer Republik Revue passieren. Wie viele andere war er vor Unterdrückung und drohender Verfolgung im bolschewistischen Russland geflohen. In seinen "Erinnerungen" zeichnet Dubnow ein lebendiges Bild des russisch-jüdischen Emigrantenmilieus in Berlin und schildert aus jüdischer Perspektive sowohl den Glanz der Goldenen Zwanziger als auch die schwierigen Anfänge sowie den Niedergang der ersten deutschen Demokratie. Als Schlägertrupps der SA die Straßen Berlins eroberten und seine Hoffnung auf ein vereintes, friedliches Europa zerstörten, musste Dubnow fliehen. So enden seine "Erinnerungen" 1933, im Schlüsseljahr der Geschichte des 20.

Vandenhoeck & Ruprecht GmbH & Co KG Buch des Lebens, Band 1-3: Erinnerungen und
Book SynopsisSimon Dubnow (18601941) is one of the most important historians in Jewish history. His famous world history of the Jewish people has long been available in German translation, but not his memoirs, of which only a greatly abridged version appeared in 1937. This first complete German-language publication of his memoirs brings the personality and work of the great Russian-Jewish historian back to the German-speaking world. Here, in Berlin, Dubnow lived between 1922 and 1933; It was here that he completed his memories. In the first volume, Dubnow describes his persistently pursued educational path from the cheder to the schools of the Enlightenment. Coming from a respected family of timber merchants, he worked as a young journalist in the milieu of the Russian-Jewish Petersburg intelligentsia around the magazine "Voschod". The anti-Jewish policy of Alexander III. destroyed any hope of cultural integration. Dubnow finally went to Odessa, where he developed the foundations of his ideas on Jewish history and, as a "missionary of history," became the initiator and mentor of the Russian-Jewish history movement. The following volumes describe the 20th century from the perspective of a contemporary witness, its historical View from Eastern Europe reflects the intellectual and social upheavals in the centers of world affairs St. Petersburg (19061922) and Berlin (19221933). In 1941 in Riga, Simon Dubnow was the victim of the National Socialist annihilation of European Jewry, which was his life's work would have.

Vandenhoeck & Ruprecht GmbH & Co KG Diaspora-Nationalismus: Zur
Book SynopsisIn his "World History of the Jewish People", which appeared in German for the first time between 1925 and 1929, the Russian-Jewish historian Simon Dubnow presented the narrative of a shared Jewish past. In contrast to previous representations, he no longer tried to justify this religiously, but secularly. The focus was not on a modern nation-state, but on a diasporic way of life, not a limited community, but a transterritorial minority. With Dubnow's diaspora nationalism, Anke Hilbrenner presents a previously little-known alternative to conventional national histories. It reconstructs and interprets both the conceptual side of Dubnow's historiography as well as its concrete historical context.

Vandenhoeck & Ruprecht GmbH & Co KG Selbstorganisation und Burgerlichkeit: Judisches
Book SynopsisText in German. The port city of Odessa is a special place of remembrance of Jewish history. More than in other metropolises of the tsarist empire, at the end of the 'long' 19th century there was a rich and differentiated system of associations that neither Russia's police license nor the social tensions that regularly erupted in pogroms were able to suppress. Especially the Jewish middle and upper classes saw their cultural ideals realized in this form of self-organization. Alexis Hofmeister examines the formation and structure of Jewish associations in Odessa and shows how a form of bourgeoisie developed here that combined modern, time-specific and traditional Jewish aspects - a mixture that gives the phenomenon of Jewish association formation exemplary importance.

Vandenhoeck & Ruprecht GmbH & Co KG Die Ruckkehr des Stetl: Russisch-judische
Book SynopsisThe topos of the Stetl are often linked to ideas of home, ghetto or even backwardness. In contrast, his portrayal in the Russian-language Jewish literature of the late Soviet period is shaped less by nostalgic reconsideration and more by Soviet-Jewish interculturalization. Olaf Terpitz combines a historical contextualization of the tetl discourse in the Soviet era with a literary approach to interpretation. His analysis uses four prose texts to illustrate the search of the Soviet Jews for a "useful past" (David G. Roskies). It was differentiated from the Soviet postulate of equality and dealt with its own Russian cultural tradition and reflected its self-image in literary terms.

Vandenhoeck & Ruprecht GmbH & Co KG Die Bernheim-Petition 1933: Juische Politik in
Book SynopsisIn May 1933, the so-called Bernheim petition was submitted to the League of Nations in Geneva on behalf of the Paris Comité des Délégations Juives. With it, the disenfranchisement of German Jews by National Socialist Germany was charged under international law. It caused all anti-Jewish laws in Upper Silesia to be suspended by 1937. This complaint, its genesis and its astonishing consequences from today's point of view have largely been forgotten, as has Jewish minority diplomacy as a whole or its individual representatives, e.g. Leo Motzkin, Emil Margulies or Nathan Feinberg. Philipp Graf examines the petition in the context of the general minority problems of the interwar period gives insights into the practice of non-governmental Jewish interest representation.

Vandenhoeck & Ruprecht GmbH & Co KG Herkunft und Textkultur: Uber judische
Book SynopsisUsing five basic texts written in early modern Europe between 1499 and 1627, Susanne Zepp examines the role of Jewish culture in the process of the development of modernity in Romanticism: "La Celestina", the "Dialoghi d'amore" by Leone Ebreo, the first picaresque novel in world literature "Lazarillo de Tormes", the "Essais" by Michel de Montaigne and João Pinto Delgado's poetic adaptations of the Bible. It presents the change in genres and the literary evidence of that time against the background of the history of the 16th century and shows how the emergence of early modern subject consciousness can also be explained from a literary perspective as a universalization of originally particular Jewish experiences.

Book SynopsisText in German. Do sociable associations for music, sport and gardening contribute to social integration in the 19th and 20th centuries? The study asks itself this question and compares the development of German and British clubs over two centuries. It shows that clubs in both countries had a socially integrative effect, but also served to carry out social exclusions, highlight differences in status and consolidate dependencies. In Great Britain, the popular commercial culture inspired the formation of associations, associations were given material support by economic companies such as press publishers or breweries. In Germany, on the other hand, the state exercised the formative influence by first controlling leisure clubs and then promoting them for "non-profit" purposes.

Vandenhoeck & Ruprecht GmbH & Co KG Dieter Kunzelmann: Avantgardist, Protestler,
Book SynopsisThe biography of Commune I founder Dieter Kunzelmann combines the experiences of a youth in the Franconian province with the history of the subversive avant-garde around 1960, the so-called "cultural revolution" of the sixties and the increasing radicalization and militancy of the incipient German terrorism since 1969. In In every phase of this development, Kunzelmann played a central role in the activities of the mostly very small but influential groups that set creative, anarchic and ultimately violent accents in the oppositional upheavals of the old Federal Republic. His further path through the orthodox K-group scene of the seventies to the Berlin AL and the West Berlin House of Representatives complete a biography that was never representative of the protest movement or was typical of the generation, but with numerous symptomatic insights into the history of the Subversion made possible after 1945.

Vandenhoeck & Ruprecht GmbH & Co KG Bebilderte Politik: Staatsbesuche in der
Book SynopsisHow did you make a state with this state? In addition to the German politicians of the Bonn Republic, this study shows a large number of actors: from the "high" state guests to the "simple" citizens on the street. After the end of the Second World War, state visits enjoyed an international boom and from the outset the West Germans recognized the acting potential that lay in these events. They were able to organize the trips of the foreign heads of state in such a way that the facets of the Federal Republic were expressed in a differentiated manner or even designed in the first place. This study illuminates the image repertoire of West German self-portrayal from a cultural-historical perspective and shows the range between the planned staging and the incalculable dynamics of the implementation. A look at the exclusive societies of the ballrooms and the spectators at the roadside grants deep insights into the structural change in the relationship between state and society in the age of the mass media. The study shows how the visual mass media developed into a dispositive for the perception of state and politics.

Vandenhoeck & Ruprecht GmbH & Co KG Englands Weg in die Marktgesellschaft
Book SynopsisUsing England as an example, the book reconstructs the centuries-long process of commercialization that gave birth to modern market society. It is shown under what circumstances, since the late Middle Ages, certain types of markets - for land, capital and labor, but also e.g. B. for rights of use - and how the social relationships mediated through markets were shaped in the course of the early modern period. In this context, the book examines the emergence of regulatory and control bodies of the market, such as the stock exchange, the Bank of England and Lloyds insurance. Communication between the actors and how they deal with the uncertainty and risks of the market are also dealt with. The result of the study shows that the process of commercialization of the economy, society and culture in England did not lead directly to industrial society, as research had previously assumed, but to the service society.

In this study, Jörg Neuheiser examines religious aspects of protest and everyday culture as well as the conservative mobilization of ordinary English people in election campaigns. Long before the right to vote reached the lower classes, he discovered a "conservatism from below" that added a new dimension to the traditional image of the English lower classes.

Vandenhoeck & Ruprecht GmbH & Co KG Organisation und Geschäft:
Book SynopsisText in German. The phase of the so-called "Second Industrialization" at the turn of the century was characterized in Germany and France by new forms of industrial production, but also by mass consumption. This led to changed organizational forms in the production of large companies. For the first time, systematic management teachings and thus new directions in organizational science literature developed. In both countries, entrepreneurs began to structure their businesses in a reflective way, to professionalize management and to think through problems of work organization. This process is extensively examined in the present work. The comparison between the neighboring countries, both of which are among the most industrialized countries in Europe, is intended to clarify how this new organizational theory was similar in large companies, but also which branch-specific and national peculiarities gained importance in the companies.

Book SynopsisText in German. Werner Conze (19101986) is one of the most important, but also most controversial German historians of the 20th century. With his pioneering work in social and conceptual history, he contributed significantly to broadening the perspective of West German historical studies after 1945. As a young historian he had worked against National Socialism, which he never commented on publicly after the war. On the basis of a newly opened estate and other sources that have not been taken into account so far, the biography traces the historian's scientific and political metamorphoses between the Third Reich and the Federal Republic.

Book SynopsisIn the 19th century, a new sensitivity to food quality arose, which was reflected in a broad public debate. Increasingly industrialized food production, myriad novel products, and scientific advances created a feeling of insecurity among consumers. Vera Hierholzer explores the question of how the developing consumer society dealt with the growing distrust. It examines which new forms of securing trust have emerged and not only looks at legislation, but also the standard-setting of other actors. The study shows that a model of food regulation based on the division of labor has emerged in the interplay between the state, science, business and consumers.

Vandenhoeck & Ruprecht GmbH & Co KG Politik und Psychiatrie: Die staatliche
Book SynopsisText in German. The "war neurosis" became one of the metaphors of the First World War. A fundamental debate broke out in the Weimar Republic about the compensation for mental disorders. Stephanie Neuner focuses on this conflict-ridden discourse in which political interests, medical interpretation patterns, legal models of thought and personal perceptions collide. She describes the disputes about the recognition of war-related mental disorders as illness and the resulting pension entitlement. The subjective experiences and personal résumés of those affected show how long the mental health impaired the everyday life and personal self-image of the war victims.

Book SynopsisZwischen den späten 1930er und den frühen 1950er Jahren durchlief die Wirtschaftsordnung der böhmischen Länder einen Wandel von der Marktwirtschaft zur Zentralplanwirtschaft sowjetischen Typs. Die vorliegende Studie untersucht diesen Transformationsprozess, indem sie den staatlichen Lenkungsanspruch und die wirtschaftliche Ordnungspolitik mit der Perspektive der Unternehmen kombiniert. Auf diese Weise werden nicht nur die Akteure des Wirtschaftslebens in den Blick genommen, sondern erstmals auch die Funktionsweisen der beiden Lenkungssysteme und die jeweils unterschiedlichen Handlungsspielräume der Unternehmen.
