1. Lesbarkeit nach Hans Blumenberg [2021]
- Waszynski, Alexander, 1984- author.
- Berlin ; Boston : De Gruyter, [2021]
- Description
- Book — x, 300 pages ; 24 cm
- Summary
-
Hans Blumenberg did not formulate a theory of reading, but in his dissertation of 1946-47 he had already established a connection between reception and theory formation. This can be traced through the history of metaphor from the "Book of Nature" to the late glosses. This study describes the importance of reading for Blumenberg's writings, developing a post-hermeneutic concept of readability

- Summary
-
Missverständnisse, Eingriffe und Druckfehler prägen die Rezeption eines Werkes, das im Laufe der Jahre zwar Liebhaber*innen, aber nie ein Massenpublikum gewinnen konnte und mittlerweile dem Vergessen anheimfällt. Zum einen zeigt die Studie auf, dass Klassifizierungen als Nonsens-, Kinder- oder Trinkerliterat dem Westberliner Malerpoeten Günter Bruno Fuchs nicht gerecht werden. Anhand exemplarischer Interpretationen wird die Komplexität der vermeintlich einfachen Texte aufgezeigt. Fuchs verfasst keinen Unsinn, er schreibt vielmehr gegen blinde Staatsgewalt, gegen alles Militärische, Spießige, Bornierte an. Zum anderen bietet die Arbeit ein nahezu vollständiges Verzeichnis von Medien (Text, Bild, Ton), die mit seinem Namen in Verbindung stehen. Die Auswertung dieser umfangreichen Materialsammlung offenbart eine Vielzahl an Irrtümern und Verfälschungen. Diese "Fehlergeschichten" machen die vorliegende Monographie zu einer durchaus unterhaltsamen Lektüre

- Cavarzere, Marco, author.
- [Liverpool, England] : Liverpool University Press on behalf of Voltaire Foundation, University of Oxford, [2020]
- Description
- Book — ix, 335 pages : maps ; 24 cm.
- Summary
-
For centuries the society and politics of Old Regime Europe relied on the strong connection between past, present, and future and on a belief in the unstoppable continuity of time. What happened during the eighteenth century when the Age of Revolutions claimed to cancel the previous social order and announced the dawn of a new era? This book explores how antiquarianism provided new political bodies with allegedly time-hallowed traditions and so served as a source of legitimacy for reshaping European politics. The love for antiquities forged a common language of political communication within a burgeoning public sphere. To understand why this happened, Marco Cavarzere focuses on the cultural debates taking place in the Italian states from 1748 until 1796. During this period, governments tried to establish regional "national cultures" through erudite scholarship, with the intent of creating new administrative and political centralization within individual Italian states. Meanwhile, other sectors of local societies used the tools of antiquarianism in order to offer a counter-narrative on these political reforms. Ultimately, this book proposes a localized way of reading antiquarian texts. Far from presenting timeless knowledge, erudition in fact gave voice to specific tensions which were linked to restricted political arenas and regional public opinion. -- Provided by publisher.

- Liverpool : Liverpool University Press ; Oxford : Voltaire Foundation, [2020]
- Description
- Book — xxv, 265 pages : illustrations, maps ; 24 cm
- Summary
-
Iran and a French Empire of Trade examines the understudied topic of Franco-Persian relations in the long eighteenth century to highlight how rising tensions among Eurasian empires and revolutions in the Atlantic world were profoundly intertwined. Conflicts between Persia, Turkey, India and Russia, and European weapons-dealing with these empires occurred against a backdrop of climate change and food insecurities that destabilized markets. Takeda shows how the French state relied on "entrepreneurial imperialism" to extend commercial activities eastwards beyond the Mediterranean during this time, from Louis XIV's reign to Napoleon Bonaparte's First Empire. Organized as a collection of microhistories, her study showcases a colourful set of characters-rogue merchants from Marseille, a gambling house madam, a naturalized Greek-French drogman, and a bi-cultural Genevan-Persian consul, among others-to demonstrate how individuals on the fringes of French society spearheaded projects to foster ties between France and Persia. Considering the Enlightenment as a product of a connected world, Takeda investigates how trans-imperial adventurers, merchants, consuls, and informants negotiated treaties, traded commodities and arms, transferred knowledge, and introduced industrial practices from Asia to Europe. And she shows the surprising ways in which Enlightenment debates about regime changes from the Safavid to Qajar dynasties and Persia's borderland wars shaped French ideas about revolution and policies related to empire-building.
