Europäische Erinnerungsorte 3
Die Diskussion über den Euro-Rettungsplan, die Finanzhilfen für Griechenland, Portugal und Irland, die Einführung schärferer Grenzkontrollen durch Dänemark haben einen neuen Streit über die Europäische Union entfacht. Driften die europäischen Staaten nach 60 Jahren der immer intensiveren und weiträumigeren Integration wieder auseinander? Spiegeln die Wahlbeteiligungen bei den Europawahlen eine Systemkrise? Geht uns der Sinn für die europäischen G…
Homer in Modern Europe
Homer is considered the father of poetry in European culture, but the written Greek text of the Iliad and the Odyssey was for ages not available in modern Europe, and knowledge of Greek was almost completely lost. Homer entered European classrooms during the 19th century. The popularity of the Iliad and the Odyssey coincided with the creation of modern educational systems in European empires and nation-states. At the end of the 19th century Homer…
Towards a Comparative History of Concepts
Building upon an introductory discussion on linguistic exchange - the problem of missing words - and the emergence of transnational concepts, this article consists of a comparative study of the history of the concept of civilisation in some major European languages and the concept of beschaving in Dutch, the closest translation to civilisation in that language. According to the author, the particular and independent conceptual evolution of bescha…
Civilization
This article is a transnational comparative study of the history of the concept of civilization. It starts with a brief review of the meaning of concepts that historically preceded it, such as civilitas and civilité. Next, it focuses on the appearance of the concept in eighteenth-century England and France and the ways it was used by different political theorists and polemists, mostly in the sense of politeness. During the nineteenth century in t…

El famoso científico Simon Stevin escribió un fascinante tratado titulado Het Burgherlick Leven-Vita politica (Leiden, 1590), unos meses después de la publicación por el mismo publicista del famoso Politicorum sive civilis doctrinae libri sex de Lipsius. Con el objetivo de explicar la vida política de los ciudadanos de los Países Bajos, Stevin utilizó la lengua vernácula al tiempo que atacó el uso del (neo)latín por los humanistas. Stevin hubo de…
History as a Profession
This is a vivid portrait of the French historical profession in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, concluding just before the emergence of the famous Annales school of historians. It places the profession in its social, academic, and political context and shows that historians of the period have been unfairly maligned as amateurish and primitive in comparison to their more celebrated successors. Pim den Boer begins by sketching the con…
Europe as an idea
The idea of Europe has changed with time. The notion was originally identified with three concepts: that of freedom, of Christianity, and with civilization. Later it was associated with diversity, democracy and then with nationalism. Only very slowly has the idea of a common identity leading to integration come to the fore
