- Title
Zeitbögen, Neoliberalismus und das Ende des Westens, oder: Wie kann man die deutsche Geschichte des 20. Jahrhunderts schreiben?
- Authors
Leendertz, Ariane
- Abstract
How can one write the German history of the 20th century? Guided by this key question, Ariane Leendertz discusses the Zeitbögen (time spans) concept introduced by Anselm Doering-Manteuffel in the Vierteljahrshefte für Zeitgeschichte in 2014 as well as the critique by Peter Hoeres published in the same journal in 2015. On this basis, she outlines new research perspectives for the most recent periods of contemporary history. Her point of departure is Hoeres' accusation that Doering- Manteuffel's use of the concept of Westernisation leads to an analytical-normative narrowing which is teleological, anachronistic and hampers insight. Additionally, Hoeres does not see Neoliberalism, which Doering-Manteuffel places at the centre of his third time span, as a suitable interpretive frame for the history of the late 20th century. Against this background and starting off the third time span, the beginning of which Doering-Manteuffel sets in the early 1970s, Ariane Leendertz discusses his concept formation, looks at the normative substance of his interpretation and argues in favour of a stronger consideration of international political economics as well as the history of ideas and political history of Neoliberalism in contemporary history.
