For a long time, historical educational research has seen a decline in its representation in university teaching and academic posts. Concurrently, its thematic and methodological variation has ...expanded impressively in the last two decades. This volume, dedicated to Edith Glaser, aims to enrich the legitimacy discourse on the importance and necessity of educational historical expertise from two perspectives. On the one hand, it presents exemplary fields of research in the history of education, on the other hand, contributions show the relevance of historical educational research for other (sub-)disciplines.
Für die Historische Bildungsforschung ist seit langem ein Rückgang ihrer Repräsentanz in der Lehre und in akademischen Stellen zu verzeichnen. Zugleich hat sich das thematische und methodische Spektrum dieser Teildisziplin der Erziehungswissenschaft in den letzten zwei Jahrzehnten beeindruckend erweitert. Dieser, der Bildungshistorikerin Edith Glaser gewidmete Band soll jener stetig wachsenden Vielfalt der Historischen Bildungsforschung Rechnung tragen und den Legitimationsdiskurs über Nutzen und Notwendigkeit bildungshistorischer Erkenntnisse aus zwei Sichtweisen bereichern. So werden zum einen exemplarische Beschäftigungsfelder bildungshistorischen Arbeitens aufgezeigt, zum anderen wird die Relevanz der Historischen Bildungsforschung als Bezugspunkt für andere Teildisziplinen der Erziehungswissenschaft, der Politikwissenschaft und der Geschichtswissenschaft dokumentiert.
Der vorliegende Band thematisiert Rolle und Selbstwahrnehmung der Archivare zwischen dem späten Kaiserreich und dem Ende der Weimarer Republik, einer Zeit rasanter Veränderungen in politischer, ...historiografischer und wissensgeschichtlicher Hinsicht. Mit dieser chronologischen Perspektivierung trägt der Band einerseits der politischen und institutionellen Tatsache Rechnung, dass der politische und staatsrecht-liche Umbruch am Ende des Ersten Weltkrieges die organisatorischen und institutionel-len Grundlagen des Archivwesens massiv beeinflusste. Andererseits möchte der Band dezidiert eine Verengung allein auf den politisch-staatlichen Systemwechsel vermeiden, denn keineswegs alle prägenden Entwicklungen des deutschen Archivwesens dieser Zeit lassen sich auf diese Ebene zurückführen.
Abstract
The 1918–19 German Revolution forced an abrupt moment of decision among German socialists on the question of ‘social reform or revolution’. This article traces the arguments of Eduard ...Bernstein, the founder of ‘reformism’, on the lessons social democracy should draw from the events of the Revolution and the transition from the Kaiserreich to the Weimar Republic. It argues that Bernstein makes significant advances on his early reformism in his post-Revolution writings, and explores his refinement of the concept of ‘revolution’ as well as his critique of Bolshevism and the U.S.S.R. as a new ideological rival within the socialist movement.

The paper aims at setting the problem of the relation between technology, and the individual within the framework of Pierre Hadot’s idea of spiritual exercises. It compares two rivaling views of ...technology that originated in the Weimar Republic in order to outline a problematic field for examining the present position of the individual and technology. As the approaches of Weimar philosophers call for an actualization, the conception of Michel Foucault’s technologies of the self is brought forth. In the conclusion of the paper, the need for contradistinction within the very notion of technology is stressed, in an attempt to incorporate the topical issue into Hadot’s theory of philosophy as a way of life.
The aim of this project is to consider the ways in which the cinema of the Weimar Republic (1918-1933) represents notions of 'Jewishness', tracking continuities and discontinuities with images of ...'the Jew' that were conveyed in the Weimar Republic and beyond. The enquiry therefore includes films produced across the entirety of the Republic's existence, incorporating comparisons with Nazi cinema to highlight how tensions in Weimar society could be manipulated to suit the Nazi purpose. This is an atypical approach within Weimar Film Studies which has tended to consider 1933 as a caesura in German cinematic history. Examination of Weimar cinema in this way reveals that there was fear of an 'internal invasion', as a wide range of marginalised groups increased in visibility both on and off-screen. This fear of 'internal invasion' would eventually be presented as 'Jewish', with the films selected for this enquiry indicating that tropes applied to these 'othered' groupings would eventually become synonymous with 'Jewishness'. This enables reference to films that are not traditionally associated with ideas of 'Jewishness', for characters that are not explicitly identified as Jewish can step into a similar role as enemy of mainstream German society. As the Weimar period develops, so too do the representations of 'the Jew' on-screen, with representations of 'Jewishness' becoming much more codified as 1933 and Hitler's rise to power approaches. This research thus explores the notion of antisemitism as a socially generated projection formulated in response to the social experience of modernity, projected onto 'the Jew' as the ultimate enemy of the national community.
Social work has repeatedly placed itself in relation to social movements – but has not defined this relationship further. This book empirically explores the relationship of social work to social ...movements and looks at the period of social work's emergence – the German Empire and the Weimar Republic. The author asks how the concepts of "people" and "nation" are thematized in journals of the labor movements, the youth movement, and the bourgeois women's movement, as well as in classical theoretical approaches to social work, and what conclusions can be drawn from this about the relationship of social work to social movements.
Soziale Arbeit hat sich immer wieder zu sozialen Bewegungen ins Verhältnis gesetzt – dieses aber nicht weiter definiert. Dieses Buch geht dem Verhältnis von Sozialer Arbeit zu sozialen Bewegungen empirisch nach und betrachtet den Entstehungszeitraum Sozialer Arbeit – das Deutsche Kaiserreich und die Weimarer Republik. Die Autorin fragt danach, wie in Zeitschriften der Arbeiterbewegungen, der Jugendbewegung und der bürgerlichen Frauenbewegung sowie in klassischen Theorieansätzen Sozialer Arbeit die historischen Grundbegriffe „Volk“ und „Nation“ thematisiert werden und welche Schlüsse sich daraus auf das Verhältnis von Sozialer Arbeit zu sozialen Bewegungen ziehen lassen.
This paper investigates the extent of the presence of lesbians in Germany between the end of the Weimar Republic and the sedimentation of Nazism, notably focusing on the dialectical perception ...between negation and (in)visibility that characterizes the stigmatization process undergone by the lesbian prisoners in KZ Ravensbrück, the only concentration camp entirely for women. During the “Golden Twenties”, the absence of female homosexuality in law was incongruous with the real presence of lesbianism within Weimar society, culture, and art. Following Adolf Hitler’s rise to power, while female homosexuality remained uncriminalized, lesbians began being persecuted in “unorthodox” ways and interned in concentration camps. Lesbians were detained on the grounds that they were considered asozial (“anti-social”). Consequently, lesbianism was contextualized within a new (forgotten) environment in which the role of women was manipulated by a patriarchal system aimed at standardizing, normalizing, and repressing the “lives unworthy of life”, most of which still remain invisible.
A.E. Johann (1901-1996), relying on his experience of over sixty years of travelling around the world, left behind a wealth of literary and journalist material, in which he often addresses topics and ...issues related to the United States of America. This paper’s objective is to analyze the reflections and observations of this writer and journalist included in the travel report from the period of the Weimar Republic and entitled
(1932) as compared with his later creative output of a more autobiographical nature and developed between 1989 to 1992 (
1989;
1992). Thus, continuity and change in his perception and image of America will be investigated; moreover, at attempt will be made to answer the question to what extent this perception and image have evolved throughout six decades (or one should rather ask why this image hardly changes with the passage of time and the emergence of new circumstances).
This once very popular writer, whose books were sold in high volume, for many years could not enjoy the attention and focus of literary scholars. Accordingly, this paper aims to expand the knowledge about him and boost the discussion on German (anti-) Americanism.
