Das Bismarck-Problem im Spiegel internationaler BiographienWer war Otto von Bismarck? Für seinen Zeitgenossen Theodor Fontane die »interessanteste Figur«, die er kannte; für einen klugen Beobachter unserer Tage wie Henry A. Kissinger »die dominante Figur der zweiten Hälfte des 19. Jahrhunderts«. Die Auseinandersetzung mit der faszinierenden, komplizierten, ambivalenten Persönlichkeit des Eisernen Kanzlers ist auch 200 Jahre nach seiner Geburt keineswegs beendet. Wie stark seine Politik und Person mittlerweile in ein neues Licht gerückt worden sind, lässt sich kaum besser ermessen, als an den Bismarck-Biographien der letzten vier Jahrzehnte. Anhand ausgewählter Kapitel dieser Lebensbeschreibungen dokumentiert die vorliegende Anthologie die in Teilen bereits historisch gewordene Debatte und öffnet den Zugang zu der aktuellen Diskussion der internationalen Historiographie über ein zentrales Problem der jüngeren deutschen Geschichte.

When Siraj, the ruler of Bengal, overran the British settlement of Calcutta in 1756, he allegedly jailed 146 European prisoners overnight in a cramped prison. Of the group, 123 died of suffocation. While this episode was never independently confirmed, the story of "the black hole of Calcutta" was widely circulated and seen by the British public as an atrocity committed by savage colonial subjects. The Black Hole of Empire follows the ever-changing representations of this historical event and founding myth of the British Empire in India, from the eighteenth century to the present. Partha Chatterjee explores how a supposed tragedy paved the ideological foundations for the "civilizing" force of British imperial rule and territorial control in India. Chatterjee takes a close look at the justifications of modern empire by liberal thinkers, international lawyers, and conservative traditionalists, and examines the intellectual and political responses of the colonized, including those of Bengali nationalists. The two sides of empire's entwined history are brought together in the story of the Black Hole memorial: set up in Calcutta in 1760, demolished in 1821, restored by Lord Curzon in 1902, and removed in 1940 to a neglected churchyard. Challenging conventional truisms of imperial history, nationalist scholarship, and liberal visions of globalization, Chatterjee argues that empire is a necessary and continuing part of the history of the modern state.Some images inside the book are unavailable due to digital copyright restrictions.

This volume collects work by several European, North American, and Australian academics who are interested in examining the performance and transmission of post-traumatic memory in the contemporary United States. The contributors depart from the interpretation of trauma as a unique exceptional event that shatters all systems of representation, as seen in the writing of early trauma theorists like Cathy Caruth, Shoshana Felman, and Dominick LaCapra. Rather, the chapters in this collection are ...

Is commitment to God compatible with modern citizenship? In this book, Daniel H. Weiss provides new readings of four modern Jewish philosophers - Moses Mendelssohn, Hermann Cohen, Franz Rosenzweig, and Walter Benjamin - in light of classical rabbinic accounts of God's sovereignty, divine and human violence, and the embodied human being as the image of God. He demonstrates how classical rabbinic literature is relevant to contemporary political and philosophical debates. Weiss brings to light striking political aspects of the writings of the modern Jewish philosophers, who have often been understood as non-political. In addition, he shows how the four modern thinkers are more radical and more shaped by Jewish tradition than has previously been thought. Taken as a whole, Weiss' book argues for a fundamental rethinking of the relationship between Judaism and politics, the history of Jewish thought, and the ethical and political dynamics of the broader Western philosophical tradition.
