The Modernist Revolution in World Literature

ISSN: 1528-9672

In the stormy time period approximately between the Paris Commune in 1871 and the revolutionary events in May 1968, or between the conclusion of the American Civil War and the withdrawal of American troops from Vietnam, the rise and fall of international modernism was crucial to all historical, political, and intellectual de-velopments around the world. By the time the United States had emerged from its military involvement in Indo-China, the modernist movement had given way to postmodernism. This series investigates the development of international modern-ism in the half century leading up to World War I and its disintegration in the fol-lowing fifty years. High modernism claimed that it represented a break with corrupt values of previous cultural traditions, but we now think that this very drive to “make it new” is itself derivative. What are the roots and characteristics of modernism? How did the philosophical and pedagogical system supporting modernism develop? Is mod-ernism, perhaps, not a liberating movement but a device to shield high culture from rising democratic vulgarization? What is the role of modernism in postcolonial struggles? Where does feminism fall in the modernist agenda? How do changing systems of patronage and the economy of art influence modernism as an enor-mously expanded reading public becomes augmented by cinema, radio, and televi-sion? Such questions on a worldwide stage, in the century approximately from 1870 to 1970, in all manifestations of literature, art, politics, and culture, represent the scope of this series In the stormy time period approximately between the Paris Commune in 1871 and the revolutionary events in May 1968, or between the conclusion of the American Civil War and the withdrawal of American troops from Vietnam, the rise and fall of international modernism was crucial to all historical, political, and intellectual de-velopments around the world.

Berliner Beiträge zur Wissens- und Wissenschaftsgeschichte

Page d'accueil des éditeurs Prof. Dr. Lutz Danneberg Priv.-Doz. Dr. Ralf Klausnitzer Prior to publication, the quality of the works published in this series is reviewed by both editors of the series. Wie nur wenige Sektoren der Kultur sind Wissen und Wissenschaft dem historischen Wandel unterworfen. Diese Wandlungen ereignen sich nur selten als wissenschaftliche Revolutionen und radikale Paradigmenwechsel, sondern vollziehen sich vielmehr in Prozessen der Adaptation und Transformation, der Kombination und Rekonfiguration. Eben deshalb bedürfen Wissens- und Wissenschaftsgeschichte intensivierter theoretischer Reflexionen und historischer Recherchen, die Personen und Institutionen mit ihren Biogarphen und Praktiken ebenso in den Blick nehmen wie langfristig tradierte Konzepte und Verfahren zur Herstellung epistemischer Dinge und die vielfältigen Prozesse des Austauschs mit der kulturellen Öffentlichkeit. Die Berliner Beiträge zur Wissens- und Wissenschaftsgeschichte nehmen diese Herausforderungen an. Die Titel der Reihe widmen sich unterschiedlichen Aspekten der Wissens- und Wissenschaftsgeschichte und verbinden die systematische Klärung grundlegender Begriffe mit theoretisch informierten Rekonstruktionen historischer Entwicklungen.

Berliner Bibliothek

ISSN: 1863-981X

Kosmopolitisch, multikulturell und weltoffen – so möchte Berlin wahrgenommen werden. Eine Vielzahl von Universitäten und akademischen Einrichtungen machen den urbanen Raum an der Spree zu einer der bedeutendsten Wissenschaftsregionen Europas. Wie keiner anderen deutschen Metropole wird Berlin zwar bescheinigt, eine Stadt der Kultur und Wissenschaft zu sein, aber keine der Religion. Tatsächlich ist hier schon seit einiger Zeit eine tiefgreifende Veränderung spürbar. Die Berliner Bibliothek versteht sich deshalb als Forum, Erkundungen und intellektuelle Grenzgänge sensibel wahrzunehmen. Herausgeber Thomas Brose spricht in diesem Kontext vom "BERLINER ANSATZ" – gemeint ist damit jedoch keine feste Ortsangabe oder Berlin-Fixiertheit, sondern – in Anspielung an die Mauer – der Umstand, dass bisher getrennte Perspektiven synoptisch-zusammenschauend zu betrachten sind, um das Ganze zu begreifen. Die Buchreihe spannt den Bogen von der Religion über die Kultur zur Wissenschaft. Sie ist interdisziplinär ausgerichtet und verknüpft die Fächer Theologie, Philosophie, Zeit- und Kirchengeschichte, Rechts- und Religionswissenschaft, Bioethik, Politik-, Literatur- und Kulturwissenschaft. Herausgeber der Reihe ist der Religionsphilosoph und Philosophieprofessor Thomas Brose. Er war aktiv in der Friedlichen Revolution und ist im Religionsdialog der Hauptstadt engagiert: Mitglied der Europäischen Akademie der Wissenschaften und Künste sowie Vizepräsident der Guardini Stiftung. Wissenschaftlicher Beirat der Reihe: Prof. DDr. Antonio Autiero (Berlin/Neapel) Prof. Dr. Étienne François (Berlin/Paris) Prof. Dr. Michael Gabel (Erfurt) Dr. Ludger Hagedorn (Wien) Dr. Philipp W.

Studies in Nineteenth-Century British Literature

"Books in this series examine the poetry and prose produced by British writers from the time of the French Revolution to the death of Queen Victoria. Historical events – rather than traditional literary categories or dates – define the scope of the series because they better convey a sense of the social consciousness that animates literary undertakings during this age. While the series includes a wide range of approaches to nineteenth-century British works, its special focus is on studies that relate this literature to its cultural context(s). Manuscripts addressing their subjects’ social, political, or historical situations, ideals, influences, or receptions are especially welcome; manuscripts analyzing the implications of classifying this literature as “Romantic” or “Victorian” or of separating it into genres are also encouraged. Authors should write in English, though they may appropriately compare British works with those in other languages."

Studies in the British Mesolithic and Neolithic

ISSN: 2297-1068

Studies in the British Mesolithic and Neolithic presents the results of fieldwork and excavation as well as works of interpretation from all perspectives on the British Neolithic revolution. Archaeological methodology is augmented where appropriate with interdisciplinary techniques, reflecting contemporary practice in the discipline. Throughout the emphasis is on work which makes new contributions to the debate about the transition between hunter gatherer and farming cultures during this pivotal stage in British prehistory. The series supports the archaeological community both in providing an appropriate forum for research reports as well as supporting interpretative work including cross-disciplinary research. It takes its inspiration from the work of the University of Buckingham’s excavations at Blick Mead in the Stonehenge World Heritage Site. Studies in the British Mesolithic and Neolithic is based at the Humanities Research Institute, University of Buckingham.
