Culture and International History
Combining the perspectives of 18 international scholars from Europe and the United States with a critical discussion of the role of culture in international relations, this volume introduces recent trends in the study of Culture and International History. It systematically explores the cultural dimension of international history, mapping existing approaches and conceptual lenses for the study of cultural factors and thus hopes to sharpen the awareness for the cultural approach to international history among both American and non-American scholars. The first part provides a methodological introduction, explores the cultural underpinnings of foreign policy, and the role of culture in internati...

Gender in der Lehre
Gender- und Diversitykompetenzen sind für Lehrende und Studierende gleichermaßen von Bedeutung. Doch wie kann Gender im Hörsaal konkret umgesetzt werden? In „Gender in der Lehre“ widmen sich ExpertInnen aus unterschiedlichen Wissenschaftsbereichen dieser Frage.

Grand Illusion
Franco-German cultural exchange reached its height at the 1937 Paris World’s Fair, where the Third Reich worked to promote an illusion of friendship between the two countries. Through the prism of this decisive event, Grand Illusion examines the overlooked relationships among Nazi elites and French intellectuals. Their interaction, Karen Fiss argues, profoundly influenced cultural production and normalized aspects of fascist ideology in 1930s France, laying the groundwork for the country’s eventual collaboration with its German occupiers. Tracing related developments across fine arts, film, architecture, and mass pageantry, Fiss illuminates the role of National Socialist propaganda in th...
Europäische Gesellschaftsbeziehungen nach dem Ersten Weltkrieg
Auch die zwanziger Jahre kannten bereits europäische Einigungsanstrengungen auf deutsch-französischer Basis. Insbesondere auf der Ebene nichtstaatlicher Organisationen entwickelte sich ein enges Netz transnationaler Elitenbeziehungen - gepflegt, aber auch heftig diskutiert in den bürgerlich-aristokratischen Intellektuellenkreisen der Nachkriegszeit.
Images of Language
This volume consists of six essays on interrelated themes, focusing on key aspects of language reflection during the period 1500-1800, with particular emphasis on the seventeenth century. German speakers are seen attempting to discover and define the nature of adjacent languages, whilst also shaping and demarcating the identity and image of their native tongue. The first essay outlines and illustrates what European linguists believed, in an age before the advent of comparative philology, about the historical-genetic position of German within the circle of Classical and modern European languages. Three further essays explore the surprisingly rich diversity of approach and method in earlier fo...
Film und Kino als Spiegel
One of the most versatile journalists of the 20th century, Siegfried Kracauer was a passionate cinema-goer who, as a film critic and theorist, managed to professionalize his hobby. This volume addresses a selection of Kracauer’s writings on film from before his American exile in 1941, which represent important sources for the film and cultural history of the Weimar Republic. It presents new interpretations of little-explored areas of Kracauer’s work, such as his proposals for films, in addition to revisiting subjects of earlier scholarship, like his views on female cinema-goers. From the perspective of Bildwissenschaft (image science), a variety of visual media from the period, including magazine and newspaper illustrations, cigarette pictures, and paintings by Edward Hopper among others, are taken into account.

Zeitgenössische Gesellschaftstheorien und Genderforschung
Der Band will am Beispiel ausgewählter zeitgenössischer Gesellschaftstheorien, die bereits mehrheitlich auch in der Genderforschung rezipiert werden, zum stärker systematisierten Dialog zwischen Genderforschung und Gesellschaftstheorien einladen. Unter Bezugnahme auf gemeinsame Leitkategorien berücksichtigen die Beiträge den Entstehungskontext der behandelten Gesellschaftstheorien sowie den zeitdiagnostisch relevanten Rezeptionsrahmen und entwickeln Perspektiven, die Gender als selbstverständlichen Bestandteil von Gesellschaft(stheorien) in das jeweilige Theoriegerüst einflechten. Dabei werden der Ort von Gender in der jeweiligen Theorie ausgelotet und Ansatzpunkte für den Theorienvergleich wie auch den weiteren Dialog von Gesellschaftstheorien und Genderforschung aufgezeigt. Zielsetzungen sind, Leerstellen der Gesellschaftsanalyse hinsichtlich der komplexen Einbettung der Geschlechterverhältnisse fokussierter zu erarbeiten und Erkenntnisse und Potenziale der Genderforschung gesellschaftstheoretisch rückzubinden. Für die 2. Auflage wurden alle Texte durchgesehen und zum Teil aktualisiert.
