SUMMARY:A Rift in Time. Reinhart Koselleck and the Theory of History
LOCATION:Building 200\, History Corner 307\, 450 Jane Stanford Way\, Build
 ing 200\, Stanford\, CA 94305
DESCRIPTION:What possible futures does history contain? Reinhart Koselleck
  has become one the most widely read and cited twentieth-century German h
 istorians and theorists of history\, not just for the new field of “globa
 l conceptual history” but essentially for anyone across disciplines writi
 ng about questions of time\, temporality\, and historical thought. Yet th
 e recent uptick of interest in his work as part of the “temporal turn” ob
 scures the fact that Koselleck was working throughout his life on somethi
 ng even more ambitious: a new theory of history or rather a theory of the
  conditions of possible histories\, and hence possible futures\, written 
 by an historian in an age of catastrophes.\n\nBased on a wealth of previo
 usly inaccessible archival materials\, this talk explores Koselleck’s cri
 tique of the modern concept of History and what he called its “temporaliz
 ation”—from Critique and Crisis to his essays on dreams and war memorials
 —and parses out his parallel search for an antidote in the form of a new 
 theory of historical knowledge\, most visible in his late essay collectio
 n Sediments of Time. We will ask what remains of Koselleck’s theoretical 
 reckoning with ruptured time and repetition in history and whether it can
  be untangled from the experiences of loss and complicity of his generati
 on.\n\nJoin the Modern Europe Workshop in learning more about and discuss
 ing Stefan-Ludgwig Hoffman's research. RSVP for refreshments.\n\nStefan-L
 udwig Hoffmann is Chancellor’s Professor of History at the Unive\n\nhttp:
