6. Kojeve's lectures on Hegel's Phenomenology of Spirit appear in English
in Raymond Queneau, Allan Bloom, and James H. Nichols, Jr., eds., Introduction
to the Reading of Hegel: Lectures on "The Phenomenology of Spirit"
(Ithaca, 1980).
7. Michel Foucault, "Nietzsche, la genealogie, l'histoire," in Suzanne
Bachelard et aI., eds., Hommage a Jean Hyppolite (Paris, 1971), pp. 145-172.
Regarding Foucault's reflections on the "uses of history," some of his most
varied positions come up in interviews; see, for example, Paul Rabinow, ed., The
Foucault Reader (New York, 1984), pp. 373ff.
8. See Hayden White, Metahistory: The Historical Imagination in Nineteenth-Century
Europe (Baltimore, 1973); and Reinhart Koselleck, H. Lutz, and
Jorn Rusen, eds., Formen der Geschichtsschreibung: Theorie der Geschichte,
vol. 4 (Munich, 1982).
9. Indeed, Luhmann argues that, when one concentrates on the present,
these problems become more acute. See Beobachtungen der Moderne, pp. U-
50, 129-148.
10. See H. Aram Veeser, "Introduction," in Veeser, ed., The New Historicism
(New York, 1989), pp. ixff.
11. This phrase became popular through Peter L. Berger and Thomas Luckmann,
The Social Construction of Reality (Garden City, N.Y., 1966).

Energy in Renaissance England (Berkeley, 1988), p. 1.

Sense in Life and Literature, pp. 33-75.
14. See Alfred Schutz and Thomas Luckmann, Strukturen der Lebenswelt
(Neuwied, 1975).
15. On the historical background for this terminological decision, see Hans
Ulrich Gumbrecht, '''Everyday-World' and 'Life-World' as Philosophical Concepts:
A Genealogical Approach," New Literary History 24 (1993-1994): 745-
761.
16. I was first encouraged to discuss this unacademic desire in an academic
context by certain passages and phrases in Nietzsche's Jenseits von Gut und
Bose. See Hans Ulrich Gumbrecht, "Wie sinnlich kann Geschmack (in der
Literatur) sein? Dber den historischen Ort von Marcel Prousts Recherche," in
Volker Kapp, ed., Marcel Proust: Geschmack und Neigung (Tubingen, 1989),
pp. 107-126, esp. pp. 155ff. A much more sophisticated (and daring) discussion
of what I see as the same problem is Michael Taussig, Mimesis and Alterity: A
Particular History of the Senses (New York, 1993).
17. For the prehistory of this "style," see Timothy Lenoir and Cheryl Lynn
Ross, "The Naturalized History Museum," unpublished manuscript, Stanford,
1993. Years ago I used to visit, on an almost weekly basis, the Ruhrland
