The lecture addresses the relationships of scientific and political changes in the twentieth century,focusing particularly, though not exclusively, on examples from the four regime changes in German and Austrian history marked by the dates 1918, 1933/34/38, 1945 and 1990 in transnational context. In keeping with the meaning of the German term Wissenschaft, “science” refers here to natural and life sciences as well as humanistic disciplines.
The central claims to be defended here, among others are: (1) that sciences and politics could be and often were used as resources for one another in multiple ways during each of the events described; (2) that political ideologies and/or ideological constructions of science were only two of many types of resources involved in this complex interaction; (3) that (relative) autonomy for science and scholarship (Wissenschaft) was never a pre-ordained or guaranteed result of such interplay, but always needed to be negotiated amongst scientific and political or policy actors; (4) that (relative) autonomy, when it was achieved, often came at a high cost.
Die Master Class wird sich mit der Frage beschäftigen, inwiefern und wie genau das Konzept von Kontinuitäten und Brüchen für die Wissenschaftsgeschichte, aber auch andere Bereiche, analytisch genutzt werden kann. In der Diskussion sollen Vor- und Nachteile, auch bezogen auf das jeweils eigene Forschungsgebiet der Nachwuchswissenschaftler/innen, herausgearbeitet werden.
Für die Master Class werden alle Teilnehmenden gebeten, ein 1-2 Seiten kurzes Paper zu verfassen. Die Papers werden vorab an die Master Class-Teilnehmenden und Mitchell Ash verteilt, um eine gemeinsame Diskussionsgrundlage zu haben. Darin soll das jeweilige Forschungsthema kurz umrissen werden (Fragestellung, Thema, Methoden, Thesen) und die Möglichkeiten/Grenzen der Frage nach Kontinuitäten und Brüchen in der Wissenschaftsgeschichte bezogen auf die eigene Forschung diskutiert werden.

Keynote-Lecture und Master Class mit Mitchell Ash You can combine search terms with and, or and/or not, e.g. Philo not logy.
You can use brackets to separate combinations from each other, e.g. (Philo not logy) or (Psycho and logy).
Coherent groups of words will be located as complete phrases if you put them into quotation marks, e.g. “Federal Republic of Germany”.
You can also use the advanced search without entering search terms. It will then follow the criteria you have selected (e.g. country or subject area).
If you have not selected any criteria in a given category, the entire category will be searched (e.g. all subject areas or all countries).
