Was ist Politik? Was ist ein Roman? In der Mitte des 18. Jahrhunderts standen beide Fragen noch offen. Eben in dieser Offenheit, behauptet die Studie, liegt eine Möglichkeit, die Konvergenz von Gattungslehre und Staatslehre näher zu untersuchen. Den Ausgangspunkt bieten die 'Gattungsverhandlungen', die in den Romanen Wielands und Jean Pauls stattfinden und durch die beide Autoren versuchen, sich über die politischen und poetologischen Bedingungen ihres Schreibens klar zu werden. Den gattungsgeschichtlichen Rahmen bilden die Transformationen der Gattung des 'Staatsromans'. Diese Gattung geht auf barocke und sogar antike Muster zurück, die ins 18. Jahrhundert hinein tradiert wurden. Forschungsgeschichtlich allerdings ist die Gattung in Verruf geraten, weil sie nicht die Ansprüche einer radikal antistaatlichen und utopischen Literatur erfüllen konnte, sondern der bestehenden politischen Wirklichkeit und ihrer Optimierung verpflichtet blieb. In dieser Studie wird dagegen ein dezidiert historischer Blick auf den Staatsroman der Aufklärung geboten, der literarische Topoi wie Fürstenerziehung, verborgene Prinzen, redliche Männer an korrupten Höfen und Geheimbünde als Mittel einer Vermittlung zwischen bürgerlicher Moral und absolutistischer Politik verstehen will.

What is—and what was—“the world”? Though often treated as interchangeable with the ongoing and inexorable progress of globalization, concepts of “world,” “globe,” or “earth” instead suggest something limited and absolute. This innovative and interdisciplinary volume concerns itself with this central paradox: that the complex, heterogeneous, and purportedly transhistorical dynamics of globalization have given rise to the idea and reality of a finite—and thus vulnerable—world. Through studies of illuminating historical moments that range from antiquity to the era of Google Earth, each contribution helps to trace the emergence of the world in multitudinous representations, practices, and human experiences.

"By examining the history of universal history from the late Middle Ages until the early nineteenth century we trace the making of the global. Early modern universal history can be seen as a response to the epistemological crisis provoked by new knowledge and experience. Traditional narratives were no longer sufficient to gain an understanding of events. Inspired by recent developments in theory of history, the volume argues that the relevance of universal history resides in the laboratory of intense, diverse and mainly unsuccessful attempts at thinking history and universals together. They all shared the common aim of integrating all time and space: assemble the world and keep it together."--Provided by publisher.

The result of extensive collaboration among leading scholars from across Europe, Conceptual History in the European Space represents a landmark intervention in the historiography of concepts. It brings together ambitious thematic studies that combine the pioneering methods of historian Reinhart Koselleck with contemporary insights and debates, each one illuminating a key feature of the European conceptual landscape. With clarifying overviews of such contested theoretical terrain as translatability, spatiality, and center-periphery dynamics, it also provides indispensable contextualization for an era of widespread disenchantment with and misunderstanding of the European project.
