"A Particular Way. From ideology to method
14.99 €
The notion of a "special way" can be attributed to one of the "eternal" and at the same time purely "Russian" scenarios of national identification. In this collection, we would like to dispel this illusion by pointing to the relatively recent genesis and intellectual trajectory of the idiom Sonderweg. Published for the first time in Russian, the texts of leading German and English historians who have studied the history of prewar Germany from the perspective of the Nazi catastrophe open up new possibilities for the productive use of the metaphor of the "special way" as a basis for modern historiographical methodology. The comparative method helps to identify the singularity and commonality of each of the objects being compared and thus eliminates the teleologism of the macro-narrative. We offer readers a whole set of historical cases and theoretical polemics - from the idea of salvation in medieval Russia to "specialness" in contemporary political culture, from the controversy surrounding the Nazi catastrophe to a critique of the historiography of the "special way" in the 1980s. The reflection on the concept of "specialness" in Germany, Russia, Great Britain, the United Kingdom, the United States, Switzerland, and Romania allows us to redefine the problematics of the traumatic birth of modernity.
