Das Deutsche Historische Institut Paris und seine Gründungsväter
Moderne Wissenschaftsgeschichte ist nicht gleichzusetzen mit einer Geschichte der abstrakten und empirischen Wahrheitsfindung. Genauso wenig reduziert sie sich auf die meist als intellektuell begriffenen Inhalte. Wissenschaft vollzieht sich vielmehr im sozialen Raum und wird damit stets von wissenschaftsfernen Aspekten beeinflusst. Somit müssen auch die Gründungsväter des Deutschen Historischen Instituts Paris als sozial determinierte Akteure gelten, die in diesem Band als Wissenschaftsorganisatoren zu erleben sein werden. Gleichzeitig erfahren wir mehr über die für ihre wissenschaftliche Arbeit charakteristischen Methoden, über ihre Rolle bei der Repräsentation von Raum und ihre Arbeit im Spannungsfeld von Wissenschaft und Politik.
Das Deutsche Historische Institut Paris
Vor 50 Jahren, am 21. November 1958, wurde das Deutsche Historische Institut Paris eroffnet. Aus diesem Anlass erscheint eine Festschrift, die zu einem Streifzug durch die vergangenen Jahrzehnte einladt. Ihre Beitrage, jeweils in deutscher und franzosischer Sprache, behandeln die Geschichte des Instituts, fassen die Zeitschrift Francia in den Blick, stellen die Bibliothek und die Gesellschaft der Freunde des DHIP vor und verzeichnen die Namen aller Mitarbeiterinnen und Mitarbeiter. Abgerundet wird der Band von einer Chronik der Institutsgeschichte seit der Grundung bis zum 50. Geburtstag.
Negotiating Space
Why did early medieval kings declare certain properties to be immune from the judicial and fiscal encroachments of their own agents? Did weakness compel them to prohibit their agents from entering these properties, as historians have traditionally believed? In a richly detailed book that will be greeted as a landmark addition to the literature on the Middle Ages, Barbara H. Rosenwein argues that immunities were markers of power. By placing restraints on themselves and their agents, kings demonstrated their authority, affirmed their status, and manipulated the boundaries of sacred space.Rosenwein transforms our understanding of an institution central to the political and social dynamics of me...
After Rome's Fall
This collection of essays deals with a broad range of issues within the study, past and present, of the early Middle Ages. Subjects include war, power, ethnicity, gender, Charlemagne and Carolingian history. The book is largely concerned with reading the sources, both medieval and modern, and interpreting their narrators.
The Modern Origins of the Early Middle Ages
Ian Wood explores how Western Europeans have looked back to the Middle Ages to discover their origins and the origins of their society.
Rural and Urban Aspects of Early Medieval Northwest Europe
The articles here concern the period from the end of the Roman Empire up to the 10th-11th centuries and the lands between the Loire and the Rhine, most particularly the Low Countries. Rural history forms the subject of the first studies, which focus on the large ’classical’ estates of the Carolingian period. Adriaan Verhulst has argued convincingly that these were medieval creations, not any inheritance from Late Antiquity, and emphasizes their regional differences. The following section, on urban history, consists of three studies on the origins and early development of the key Flemish cities of Ghent, Bruges and Antwerp (this last now in English), and three broader-ranging essays which...

Franks, Burgundians, and Aquitanians and the Royal Coronation Ceremony in France
Deals with two unusual French ¿ordines¿ in which relevance took precedence over tradition. In both the pregnant phrase ¿Franks, Burgundians, & Aquitanians¿ appeared in the prayer following the king¿s unction in the place traditionally occupied by the alien triad ¿Saxons, Mercians, & Northumbrians.¿ The ceremonials were thus transformed & made fully appropriate for the ruler of France. Contents of this study: (1) ¿Franks, Burgundians, & Aquitanians¿ in the 12th Century: The ¿Ordo¿ of Lat. 14192; (2) The Reappearance of ¿Franks, Burgundians, & Aquitanians¿ in Early Modern France: Jean du Tillet; Du Tillet¿s Version of the ¿Ordo Maior¿ of ¿Croix¿; Theodore Godefroy & Du Tillet¿s ¿Ordo¿; (3) Conclusion. Appendix: The ¿Ordo Maior¿ of ¿Croix.¿ Bibliography.
Nazi Volksgemeinschaft Technology
This book traces how Gottfried Feder and Fritz Todt made technology essential to the Nazi ‘world view’. They groomed engineers with a racist technical ideology that prepared them to later supervise slave labor and the Holocaust. Their concepts evolved from völkisch technocracy to an idealized harmony of man, machine and nature, and were eclipsed by Albert Speer’s total war. Partially due to willing ‘self-coordination’ from engineers, they gained political control over the engineering profession. Destined to be pillars of the Volksgemeinschaft, engineers were indoctrinated with Nazi principles of Aryan superiority at the Reich School of Technology, the Plassenburg. Nazi propaganda announced a bright future through technology, furthering a sense of normalcy in Germany, despite the ruthless exclusion of those unwanted.
