Geschichtswissenschaft im 20. Jahrhundert
Institutionalisierungsprozesse und Entwicklung des
Personenverbandes an der Universität Tübingen 1918–1964
by Mario Daniels
The frequent political upheavals during the 20th century have deeply influenced
German historical scholarship. Besides scientific developments, the influence of
current political situations has always impacted the discipline’s representation
at German universities, leading to the inclusion or exclusion of certain subdisciplines
and the overall focus of historical science itself. This volume traces
the internal and external structures of these developments. German text.

German state departments, news agencies, and secret services. German text.

Auf dem Weg der Zivilisation
Geschichte und Konzepte gesellschaftlicher Entwicklung in Brasilien (1808–1871)
by Christian Haußer
With the emergence of an independent state in Brazil in the beginning of the 19th century, the term “civilization” came
to represent a basic concept within social-political language. The term enjoyed a fast rise in usage and soon became an
obligatory means of interpreting Brazil’s past and future development. This volume examines the roots and impact of
the term, with a focus on the perception of the indigenous population, the slaves and the immigrants. German text.
