Introduction
Social Science Data as a Challenge for Contemporary History
Introduction
How to organize domestic care for relatives living with a disability and elderly family members is a major challenge for individual households, as it is for all European societies. Taking up current debates on the future of family care work, this special issue offers historical perspectives on family care for people with disabilities. It investigates the relationship between disability welfare and family dynamics in modern European history. By br…
Archiving, exhibiting, and curating the history of feminisms in the global twentieth century
Following the ‘archival turn’ of the 1990s and early 2000s, scholars have understood archives as entwined in epistemic hierarchies of power. The study of gender and sexuality, alongside postcolonial approaches were central to this critical shift, advancing methods that both challenged the archive as a fixed entity of historical truth and broadened perceptions of where history is made. Queer and feminist historians have since drawn attention to th…
Sozialdaten als Quellen der Zeitgeschichte
Social research, qualitative and quantitative, has long been the preferred means of selfobservation in industrial societies. The social science data generated in the process are therefore rewarding sources for many fields of contemporary history. A large-scale integration of both quantitative and qualitative social science data into the contemporary historian’s practice will aid a fuller reconstruction of the agency of ordinary people and the rel…
Alte Frauen in der Bundesrepublik am Beispiel der Bolsa-Sozialdaten
In the historiography, older women in post-war West Germany have predominantly been depicted as passive, as embodiments of a contaminated past and hindrances to cultural change. This paper challenges these stereotypical narratives by investigating quantitative and qualitative social data from the Bonn Longitudinal Study of Aging (BOLSA) in the framework of Pierre Bourdieu’s theory of social inequality. The results of our correspondence analysis s…
Writing Women's Agency into the History of the Federal Republic
To a large extent, master surveys of the Federal Republic's history have failed to weave into their narratives the rise of female emancipation or challenges to male domination. This article addresses the reasons for this failure, as well as the implications of its reversal. It analyzes the role of women activists during West Germany's “1968,” underlining the gender bias of common narratives of the West German Sixties. The addition of feminist age…
Das andere Achtundsechzig
50 Jahre nach "1968" ist es Zeit für einen frischen Blick auf die Ereignisse, die bis heute die Republik spalten. Anhand von erstmals ausgewerteten neuen Quellen erschüttert Christina von Hodenberg die alten Gewissheiten und zeigt das andere Achtundsechzig jenseits der immer wieder erzählten Legenden. In unserer Erinnerung ist Achtundsechzig eine Angelegenheit junger männlicher Studenten in Großstädten wie Berlin und Frankfurt. Im Hintergrund wir…
Is There a British Approach to German History
Square-eyed Farmers and Gloomy Ethnographers
During the 1950s and 1960s, television arrived in the West German countryside. All across Westphalia, elderly villagers recorded how their lives changed because of it. Their reports, solicited by ethnographers at a Münster folklore archive, allow unprecedented insight into TV’s impact on daily schedules, family routines, living rooms, neighbourly networks, local associations and church activities. This rare body of sources allows us to test the c…
Roundtable. Writing (Media) History in the Age of Audio-Visual and Digital Media
Expeditionen in den Methodendschungel. Herausforderungen der Zeitgeschichtsforschung im Fernsehzeitalter
Expeditions into the Jungle of Methods. The Challenges of Contemporary Historical Research in the Age of Television Writing history in the television age involves particular challenges. How can contemporary historians adapt to the rising importance of audio-visual, electronic mass media since the second half of the twentieth century? The article highlights a number of new approaches, all of which go beyond the understanding of mass media as a mer…
Of German Fräuleins, Nazi Werewolves, and Iraqi Insurgents
Many aspects of the German-American encounter during the Second World War remain deeply engraved in the American mind. One of them is the story of the German “werewolves,” Hitler's last underground fighters, who challenged the occupying armies in the war's closing months. The werewolf threat made a lasting impression on American troops and media at the time, and on American collective memory up to today. This article traces how the Nazi insurgent…
Mass Media and the Generation of Conflict
From the 1950s to 1970s the West German public sphere underwent a rapid politicisation which was part of the ongoing socio-cultural democratisation of the Federal Republic. This article examines the role of the mass media and journalistic elites in bringing about this change. It analyses how and when political coverage in the media evolved from an instrument of consensus to a forum of conflict. Arguing that generational shifts in journalism were …
