DM 39.00 These four works deal with aspects of the history of universities in the later Middle Ages and the early modern period. They ask new ques- tions of their material (especially concerning the formation of élites in the later medieval and early modern periods) and open up illuminat- ing vistas on the past. Each volume makes welcome contributions to an elucidation of social history and repossesses a scholarly no-man’s- land, relating educational endeavours to a wider context. These works, and the series to which they belong, demonstrate the fertility of the history of universities, an area hitherto dominated by unreasonably distorted accounts of an underexplored phase of the institution’s activities. All four works examine the responses of various forms of education to the social challenges and imperatives of the time. The 5 Helga Robinson-Hammerstein volumes edited by Rüegg and Hammerstein are handbooks distilling a vast range of individual studies in which contributors work to an overall and well defined plan. Schwinges’s work, more obviously ambitious in terms of innovative scholarly intention, is the outcome of a specialist conference – with research conducted to order. It seeks to make a contribution to the debate on élites and the process of moderni- zation in the Empire. The history of higher education in general, and more specifically of universities has, since the nineteenth century, suffered from a surfeit of jubilee attention. The most characteristic contributions have been pious commemorative coffee-table books, beautifully illustrated and luxuriously bound. One result of these centenary commemorations is, however, still appreciated and has rendered the task of the present generation of university scholars substantially easier, namely, the massive and almost endless document publications, especially the matriculation lists which no late twentieth-century researcher could have done without. More recently, centenaries and other jubilees have been welcomed as opportunities for stock-taking and reflecting on the role of the institution in question: the results are sponsored publica- tions. In general, jubilees in the late twentieth century are subject to three related aims or motivations.1 Firstly, the arcane magic of the ‘rounded figures’ 900, 650, 500, 400 etc. legitimates drawing attention to the institution by the public projection of a plausible self-image which relies on symbolic acts, pageants, speeches, divine services, concerts, incidental music, exhibitions, and publications. The jubilands tend to use all the available media of communication in a mutually reinforcing manner. Secondly, the public in its various manifestations – local community, state, church, industry, and cultural bodies – responds with expressions of solidarity, congratulating the celebrating institu- tion on its achievements and offering sponsorship to continue its beneficial work. Thirdly, however, the threshold experience of a jubilee must be accompanied by a complex process of verifications, a deeply 1 Werner Conze, ‘Die Selbstdarstellung von Universitäten in Zentenarfeiern.

This self-examina- tion (which will obviously inform the elaboration of the aim of image- projection) is not conducted in public, but the process itself is all the more crucial, since unreflected festivities result in highly damaging mythologizing and self-delusion. In addition, there is always another unintended factor. Jubilees have an uncanny knack of coinciding with periods of doubt and Existenzangst in the celebrating institutions. Curiously, it is precisely this Existenzangst which forms the backdrop to jubilees arranged as highly sophisticated ‘media conscious public relations exercises’ in the later twentieth century. In the case of the first two publications we are dealing with some- thing more challenging: progress on European integration and the millennium respectively seem to call for Rechenschaftsberichte. These have put their own heavy burden on the editors, who have on the whole coped well with the challenge. For the later Middle Ages and the early modern period the editors can record that the institutions usually took

  • Exile and Acculturation: Refugee Historians Since the Second World War
    ANTOON DE BAETS Exile and Acculturation: Refugee Historians since the Second World War two forms, intended and unin- tended. Within the domain of historical writing, both exist. A famous example of intended historiographical contact was the arrival B - of the German historian Ludwig Riess ( ), a student of Leopold von Ranke, in Japan. On the recommendation of the director of the bureau of historiography, Shigeno Yasutsugu, Riess began to lecture at the Im- perial University (renamed Tokyo Imperial University in ) in . He spoke about the Rankean method with its emphasis on facts and critical, document- and evidence-based history. At his suggestion, Shigeno founded the Historical Society of Japan and the Journal of Historical Scholarship. Riess influenced an entire generation of Japanese historians, including Shigeno himself and Kume Kunitake, then well known for their demystification of entire areas of Japanese history.1 However, this famous case of planned acculturation has less well-known aspects. First, Riess, who was a Jew and originally a specialist in English history, went to Japan, among other reasons, possibly on account of the anti-Semitism and Anglo- phobia characteristic of large parts of the German academy at the time. Only in did he return from Japan to become an associate professor at the University of Berlin.2 Second, Riess and other German historians (such as Ernst Bernheim, whose Lehrbuch der historischen Methode und der Geschichtsphilosophie, published in , was popular in Japan) were influ- ential only because Japanese historical methodology focused before their arrival on the explication of documents.3 Riess’s legacy had unexpected I am very grateful to Georg Iggers, Shula Marks, Natalie Nicora, Claire Boonzaaijer, and Anna Udo for their helpful criticism.

    BÜRGERTUM OHNE RAUM: German Liberalism and Imperialism, 1848-1884, 1918-1943. Matthew P Fitzpatrick A thesis submitted for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of New South Wales 2005 UNIVERSITY OF NEW SOUTH WALES Thesis/Project Report Sheet Surname or Family name: Fitzpatrick First name: Matthew Other name/s: Peter Abbreviation for degree as given in the University calendar: PhD. School: History Faculty: Arts Title: Bürgertum Ohne Raum: German Liberalism and Imperialism 1848-1884, 1918-1943. Abstract This thesis situates the emergence of German imperialist theory and praxis during the nineteenth century within the context of the ascendancy of German liberalism. It also contends that imperialism was an integral part of a liberal sense of German national identity. It is divided into an introduction, four parts and a set of conclusions. The introduction is a methodological and theoretical orientation. It offers an historiographical overview and places the thesis within the broader historiographical context. It also discusses the utility of post-colonial theory and various theories of nationalism and nation-building. Part One examines the emergence of expansionism within liberal circles prior to and during the period of 1848/ 49. It examines the consolidation of expansionist theory and political practice, particularly as exemplified in the Frankfurt National Assembly and the works of Friedrich List. Part Two examines the persistence of imperialist theorising and praxis in the post-revolutionary era. It scrutinises the role of liberal associations, civil society, the press and the private sector in maintaining expansionist energies up until the 1884 decision to establish state-protected colonies. Part Three focuses on the cultural transmission of imperialist values through the sciences, media and fiction.

  • The Reformation of the Generations: Age, Ancestry and Memory in England 1500-1700
    The Reformation of the Generations: Age, Ancestry and Memory in England 1500-1700 Folger Shakespeare Library Spring Semester Seminar 2016 Alexandra Walsham (University of Cambridge): [email protected] The origins, impact and repercussions of the English Reformation have been the subject of lively debate. Although it is now widely recognised as a protracted process that extended over many decades and generations, surprisingly little attention has been paid to the links between the life cycle and religious change. Did age and ancestry matter during the English Reformation? To what extent did bonds of blood and kinship catalyse and complicate its path? And how did remembrance of these events evolve with the passage of the time and the succession of the generations? This seminar will investigate the connections between the histories of the family, the perception of the past, and England’s plural and fractious Reformations. It invites participants from a range of disciplinary backgrounds to explore how the religious revolutions and movements of the period shaped, and were shaped by, the horizontal relationships that early modern people formed with their sibilings, relatives and peers, as well as the vertical ones that tied them to their dead ancestors and future heirs. It will also consider the role of the Reformation in reconfiguring conceptions of memory, history and time itself. Schedule: The seminar will convene on Fridays 1-4.30pm, for 10 weeks from 5 February to 29 April 2016, excluding 18 March, 1 April and 15 April. In keeping with Folger tradition, there will be a tea break from 3.00 to 3.30pm.

  • Gender and Colonial Politics After the Versailles Treaty
    Wildenthal, L. (2010). Gender and Colonial Politics after the Versailles Treaty. In Kathleen Canning, Kerstin Barndt, and Kristin McGuire (Eds.), Weimar Publics/ Weimar Subjects. Rethinking the Political Culture of Germany in the 1920s (pp. 339-359). New York: Berghahn. Gender and Colonial Politics after the Versailles Treaty Lora Wildenthal In November 1918, the revolutionary government of republican Germany proclaimed the political enfranchisement of women. In June 1919, Article 119 of the Versailles Treaty announced the disenfranchisement of German men and women as colonizers. These were tremendous changes for German women and for the colonialist movement. Yet colonialist women's activism changed surprisingly little, and the Weimar Republic proved to be a time of vitality for the colonialist movement. The specific manner in which German decolonization took place profoundly shaped interwar colonialist activism. It took place at the hands of other colonial powers and at the end of the first "total" war. The fact that other imperial metropoles forced Germany to relinquish its colonies, and not colonial subjects (many of whom had tried and failed to drive Germans from their lands in previous years), meant that German colonialists focused their criticisms on those powers. When German colonialists demanded that the Versailles Treaty be revised so that they could once again rule over Africans and others, they were expressing not only a racist claim to rule over supposed inferiors but also a reproach to the Entente powers for betraying fellow white colonizers. The specific German experience of decolonization affected how Germans viewed their former colonial subjects. In other cases of decolonization, bitter wars of national liberation dismantled fantasies of affection between colonizer and colonized.

  • Reformation History and Political Mythology in the German Democratic Republic, 1949–89
    Robert Walinski-Kiehl Reformation History and Political Mythology in the German Democratic Republic, 1949–89 It is perhaps ironic that a Marxist state such as the former German Democratic Republic (GDR), which rejected all notions of divinity and the supernatural, should have paid so much atten- tion to the history of the sixteenth-century Reformation. Many of the key events of the Lutheran Reformation had occurred of course in the Saxon-Thuringian territories which were now enclosed within its borders, but this alone does not account for the intense interest that was displayed by the GDR in sixteenth- century history. Geographical proximity was of less importance than the fact that the nineteenth-century pioneer of Marxism, Frederick Engels, had shown a keen interest in events during the Reformation era. His 1850 study, The Peasant War in Germany, represented the first attempt to write history from a historical materialist perspective.1 In the GDR’s search to construct a viable, Marxist-based historical discipline that was distinct from, and in opposition to, its Western ‘bourgeois’ variant, Engels’ work acquired a special status. However, in the GDR, the Reformation era was more than just a topic of historiographical interest; it can be seen to have constituted an important founda- tion myth for this communist state. Recently, scholars have begun to focus more closely on the cultural significance of politi- cal myths for modern states. While formerly political myths were perceived rather prosaically as fictions, propaganda or simply lies, in the last few years they have been viewed in a more sophis- ticated light.

  • Napoleon's Empire: European Politics in Global Perspective 18-20 April
    Napoleon’s Empire: European Politics in Global Perspective 18-20 April 2012 German Historical Institute, 8 rue du Parc-Royal, 75003 Paris Conference report by Peter Geiss, History Department, Bergische University of Wuppertal The aim of the conference on "Napoleon’s Empire: European Politics in Global Perspective", organised by GUDRUN GERSMANN (Paris) and UTE PLANERT (Wuppertal) at the German Historical Institute in Paris, was to open up and extend the Western European-dominated frame of reference that, until very recently, had left its stamp on research into Napoleonic rule. Given that the upheavals associated with Bonaparte’s political and military strategy were felt from the Ottoman Empire to the North Cape and from the Tsarist Empire to South America, there is a pressing need to take a global perspective on the Napoleonic age. Hence the conference was attended by speakers from some 25 countries and geographical regions. Their presentations provided a summary of the previous historiography as well as a survey of current research. In her introductory lecture ANNIE JOURDAN (Amsterdam) described the age of Napoleon and the French Revolution as the first field of research in French historiography to experience a massive "scène d’entrée" by foreign historians. This external perspective was initially driven by criticism of French "imperialism" and it played a crucial role in "demystifying" the Empire. Since the early 1990s, however, attention has increasingly come to focus on an analysis of transnational processes in the transition to modernity. Jourdan called for a further extension of the field of vision and closer consideration of the long-distance effects of the Napoleonic regime on the other side of the Atlantic.

  • ABSTRACT Title of Document: the FURTHEST
    ABSTRACT Title of Document: THE FURTHEST WATCH OF THE REICH: NATIONAL SOCIALISM, ETHNIC GERMANS, AND THE OCCUPATION OF THE SERBIAN BANAT, 1941-1944 Mirna Zakic, Ph.D., 2011 Directed by: Professor Jeffrey Herf, Department of History This dissertation examines the Volksdeutsche (ethnic Germans) of the Serbian Banat (northeastern Serbia) during World War II, with a focus on their collaboration with the invading Germans from the Third Reich, and their participation in the occupation of their home region. It focuses on the occupation period (April 1941-October 1944) so as to illuminate three major themes: the mutual perceptions held by ethnic and Reich Germans and how these shaped policy; the motivation behind ethnic German collaboration; and the events which drew ethnic Germans ever deeper into complicity with the Third Reich. The Banat ethnic Germans profited from a fortuitous meeting of diplomatic, military, ideological and economic reasons, which prompted the Third Reich to occupy their home region in April 1941. They played a leading role in the administration and policing of the Serbian Banat until October 1944, when the Red Army invaded the Banat. The ethnic Germans collaborated with the Nazi regime in many ways: they accepted its worldview as their own, supplied it with food, administrative services and eventually soldiers. They acted as enforcers and executors of its policies, which benefited them as perceived racial and ideological kin to Reich Germans. These policies did so at the expense of the multiethnic Banat‟s other residents, especially Jews and Serbs. In this, the Third Reich replicated general policy guidelines already implemented inside Germany and elsewhere in German-occupied Europe.
