Forschungskolleg Humanwissenschaften, lecture room

Forschungskolleg Humanwissenschaften and the Cluster of Excellence »The Formation of Normative Orders«
Evening Lecture

Till van Rahden (Université de Montréal)
»Wie Vati die Demokratie lernte: Zur Frage der Autorität in der frühen Bundesrepublik«

About the lecture
In der jungen Bundesrepublik stellte sich nach der Katastrophe des Völkermords und des Vernichtungskrieges die Frage, welche Form der Autorität noch möglich sei. Dies galt auch für Ideale der Männlichkeit und besonders der Vaterschaft. Der Traum einer Vaterschaft jenseits des Patriarchats bot der bundesdeutschen Gesellschaft die Chance, das Verhältnis von Autorität und Demokratie neu zu bestimmen.

About the speaker
Till van Rahden holds the Canada Research Chair in German and European Studies at the Université de Montréal. He specializes in European history since the Enlightenment and is interested in the tension between the elusive promise of democratic equality and the recurrent presence of diversity and moral conflicts. In 1993, he received an M.A. in American history from The Johns Hopkins University, and in 1999, he completed his dissertation at the University of Bielefeld which received the »Fraenkel Prize in Contemporary History« and was published as Jews and other Germans: Civil Society, Religious Diversity and Urban Politics in Breslau, 1860-1925 (Madison, 2008).
Currently he is, on the invitation of the Cluster of Excellence »The Formation of Normative Orders«, a Fellow at the Forschungskolleg Humanwissenschaften.
