H enning T rüper . Orientalism, Philology, and the Illegibility of the Modern World
In Orientalism, Philology, and the Illegibility of the Modern World—a theoretically dense interrogation of German Semitist scholarship from 1820 to 1950—Henning Trüper argues persuasively that philology embodies the condition of modernity. Framed as a cultural history of reading, the work sets narrow parameters to address broad, persistent problems in the explication of linguistic meaning, situating knowledge production in the humanities today as…
The Spatial History of Revelation in Carl Ritter’s Erdkunde (1817–59)
Traditional theological concepts, including revelation, shaped academic disciplines as they emerged in nineteenth-century Germany. The first university professor of geography, Carl Ritter, crafted an intriguing spatial history of revelation in his masterful Earth Science in Relation to Nature and the History of Man (1817–1859). The teleological bent of Ritter’s geography and his commitment to intelligent design have encouraged most commentators t…

Germany and ‘The West’: The History of a Modern Concept
Historicizing the relationship between Germany and ‘the West’ is a project long overdue and particularly welcome given current tensions in Europe. This expanded conference proceedings, a joint venture of the German Historical Institute London and the University of St Andrews, tracks the interplay between conceptions of German exceptionality and Western identity formation from the Sattelzeit to the post-1989 period. The existence of the West, as e…
Transcending Babel in the Cultural Translation of Friedrich Rückert (1788–1866)
A tension between cosmopolitanism and nationalism characterizes the career of the poet–philologist Friedrich Rückert. The German orientalist and mentor to Paul de Lagarde translated remarkable quantities of Sanskrit, Farsi, and Arabic verse, while earning popular acclaim for his Biedermeier celebrations of the German Heimat . The contradiction in these scholarly pursuits can be reconciled by examining the intersection of the local, national, and …
