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

该申请旨在资助准备档案研究，以便撰写奥托·布伦纳（1898-1982）的知识分子传记。直到今天，布伦纳仍被认为是20世纪德语知识界最神秘、最多才多艺的人物之一。史学界对其著作的评价仍存在两极分化。尽管如此，他的著作，尤其是《土地与爵位》（Land und Herrschaft， 1939年第1版，1959年第4版）、《土地与爵位》(Adeliges Landleben und europäischer Geist》（1949年）和《新社会经济》（Neue Wege der Sozialgeschichte， 1956年，1968年第2版）的持续影响是无可争议的。他的作品被翻译成意大利语、西班牙语、英语、芬兰语和日语，因此在国际上受到欢迎。然而，他参与国家社会主义和他的学术工作之间的相互关系已经成为有争议的辩论的主题。值得注意的是，在学术背景下可能的连续性问题以及1945年后他的政治态度日益成为人们关注的焦点。除了对布伦纳作品的任何道歉和谴责的解释之外，我们的目标应该是准备出版一本基于广泛档案研究的知识分子传记。它既不应被视为发展史意义上的传统年表，也不应被简化为对布鲁纳作品的作品内在解释。布伦纳的思想方式更应该放在当代纷繁的学术和政治话语中加以语境化。要突出他的思想意义，至少要注意三个方面。首先，布鲁纳的历史和跨学科概况，这远远超出了历史研究。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杰出合作。最后，对奥托·布伦纳作为20世纪“学院派知识分子”（G. h<s:1>宾格）代表人物的评价。事实上，这本专著遵循了对20世纪（主要是）德国历史学家的最新传记研究。它有条不紊地尊重传记和代际研究以及历史网络研究的最新作品。该项目与自己对Otto Brunner工作的长期研究以及以前的档案研究和适当的出版物联系在一起。

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.
