Otto Brunner (1898-1982). Historiography and political intellectual life in the 20th century

这项申请旨在资助预备档案研究，以便写一本奥托·布伦纳(1898-1982)的智力传记。时至今日，布伦纳仍被视为20世纪德语知识界最神秘、最多面化的人物之一。对他的作品的评价仍然是历史学术界的两极分化。然而，他的工作，特别是土地和Herrschaft(土地和爵位，第1版)的持续影响。1939年，第4版。1959年)，Adeliges Landleben und Europäischer Geist(1949)和Neue Wege der Sozialgeschichte(1956，第二版)。1968)是无可争辩的。他的作品已被翻译成意大利语、西班牙语、英语、芬兰语和日语，因此在国际上广受欢迎。然而，他的国家社会主义参与和他的学术工作之间的相互关系已经成为有争议的话题。值得注意的是，1945年后他在学术语境中可能的连续性和政治态度日益成为人们关注的焦点。除了对布鲁纳作品的任何道歉和谴责的解释之外，目标应该是在广泛的档案研究的基础上，准备出版一本知识分子传记。它既不应被写成发展史意义上的传统年表，也不应被简化为对布伦纳著作的作品内在解释。布伦纳的思想方式应该放在当代繁杂的学术和政治话语中。要强调他的学术意义，至少应该注意三个方面。第一，布伦纳的历史和跨学科概况，这远远超出了历史研究的范围。此外，与其他学科的知识分子，即法学、文学研究、哲学人类学和社会学的显著合作。最后，对奥托·布伦纳作为20世纪“学术知识分子”(G·Hübinger)代表人物的评价。事实上，这本打算出版的专著遵循了对(主要)20世纪德国历史学家的最新传记研究。在方法上，它尊重传记和代际研究的最新作品，以及历史网络研究。该项目与自己对奥托·布伦纳的作品进行了长期的审查，同样也与以前的档案研究和适当的出版物相联系。

This application intends the funding of preparative archival researches in order to write an intellectual biography of Otto Brunner (1898-1982). To this day Brunner counts as one of the most enigmatic and multifaceted personalities in the 20th centuries German-speaking intellectual world. The evaluation of his work still polarises historical academia. Nevertheless, the sustained influence of his work and particularly Land und Herrschaft (Land and Lordship, 1st ed. 1939, 4th Rev. ed. 1959), Adeliges Landleben und europäischer Geist (1949) and Neue Wege der Sozialgeschichte (1956, 2nd Rev. ed. 1968) is undisputable. His works have been translated into Italian, Spanish, English, Finnish and Japanese and therefore internationally received. However, the interrelation between his National Socialist engagement and his academic work has become the subject of controversial debates. Notably the issue of possible continuities in academic contexts and his political attitude after 1945 increasingly has become the focus. Beyond any apologetic and denunciatory interpretations of Brunners works the aim should be to prepare the publication of an intellectual biography, based on broad archival researches. It shall neither be written as a traditional chronology in a sense of developmental history nor shall it be reduced to an work-immanent interpretation of Brunners writings. Brunners ways of thoughts should rather be contextualized within the contemporary multifarious academic and political discourses. To underline his intellectual significance there should be paid attention to at least three aspects. First, the historical and interdisciplinary profile of Brunner, which continues far beyond historical researches. Furthermore the remarkable collaboration with intellectuals of other disciplines, namely jurisprudence, literary studies, philosophical anthropology and sociology. Finally, the appreciation of Otto Brunner as a representative of 'academic-intellectuals' (G. Hübinger) in the 20th century. Factually, the intended monograph follows latest biographical researches towards (mostly) German historians of the 20th century. Methodically it respects latest works in biographical and generational researches as well as Historical Network Research. The project ties in with own long lasting examination towards the work of Otto Brunner and likewise with former archival researches and appropriate publications.
