Abstract

The French Revolution represents the defining event in modern French national memory. As an epochal turning point with profound political and social upheavals, it presents itself - beyond the legislative implementations of an intellectual elite - in its concrete manifestations on the streets and public squares of Paris and in the provinces as a decisive episode in the modern history of France determined by aggressive physical conflicts. With the year of crisis that lasted from spring 1793 to summer 1794, the revolutionary events, after having evoked conflict with foreign powers since their beginnings, entered a new phase of (civil) war within the country, insofar as the Grande Terreur raised the internal French camp struggles with countless guillotine executions to a new level of escalation. The violent excesses that had become commonplace left traces in France's collective memory. On the one hand, such traces are still concretized in the revolutionary period itself. On the other hand, the French Revolution represents a privileged point of reference, especially in renewed times of crisis. The 19th century, with the subsequent revolutions of 1830 and 1848, the 20th century, with the two world wars, and the 21st century, with the most recent challenge of global terror, are not lacking in such phases of social destabilization and threatening political chaos. The present volume is dedicated to this revolutionary coming to terms with the past, especially the bloody phase of 1793/94, in its diverse manifestations from the late 18th century to the present.

Abstract

Die 1948 im Auftrag der US-amerikanischen Militärregierung gegründete Zeitschrift Der Monat war ein intellektueller Brennspiegel der jungen Bundesrepublik, in dem die politischen Deutungskonflikte - mit Fokus auf den Nationalsozialismus, den Sowjetkommunismus und die Zukunft der westlichen Welt - ausgetragen wurden. Zu ihrem Renommee trug bei, dass sie zahlreiche prominente Autoren wie Hannah Arendt, Raymond Aron, Hans Kohn, Herbert Lüthy, George F. Kennan oder auch die Exkommunisten Arthur Koestler, George Orwell und Richard Löwenthal versammelte. Joachim Gmehling zeigt, welches Bild in der Zeitschrift vom nationalsozialistischen und sowjetkommunistischen Herrschaftssystem gezeichnet wurde und wie der Vergleich der beiden Diktaturen ausfiel. Dabei rekonstruiert er nicht nur den Einfluss der zeitgenössischen Totalitarismustheorien sowie die Imperative der US-amerikanischen Besatzungspolitik in Westdeutschland, sondern geht auch auf die CIA-Hintergründe des Periodikums ein. Eine Studie zu den Anfängen des Kalten Krieges, die angesichts der vielschichtigen Krise der westlichen Demokratien an Aktualität gewinnt.

Abstract

Germans are often accused of failing to take responsibility for Nazi crimes, but what precisely should ordinary people do differently? Indeed, scholars have yet to outline viable alternatives for how any of us should respond to terror and genocide. And because of the way they compartmentalize everyday life, our discipline-bound analyses often disguise more than they illuminate. Written by a historian, literary critic, philosopher, and theologian, The Happy Burden of History takes an integrative approach to the problem of responsible selfhood. Exploring the lives and letters of ordinary and intellectual Germans who faced the ethical challenges of the Third Reich, it focuses on five typical tools for cultivating the modern self: myths, lies, non-conformity, irony, and modeling. The authors carefully dissect the ways in which ordinary and intellectual Germans excused their violent claims to mastery with a sense of 'sovereign impunity.' They then recuperate the same strategies of selfhood for our contemporary world, but in ways that are self-critical and humble. The book shows how viewing this problem from within everyday life can empower and encourage us to bear the burden of historical responsibility - and be happy doing so.
