English summary: In recent scholarship war and violence in the 20th century are understood as reflections of modernity. National Socialism and stalinism, Italian fascism and the New Deal in the USA are seen as results of modernity. This book, however, underlines the importance of the pre-modern roots of the violent excesses of the 20th century. It places the experiences with the totalitarian dictatorships in Russia, the Soviet Union and China into the context of modern ideas and pre-modern living conditions. German description: Die neuere historische Forschung interpretiert die Kriege und Gewalttaten des 20. Jahrhunderts als Reflex der Moderne. Nationalsozialismus und Stalinismus werden ebenso als Resultate der Moderne verstanden wie der Faschismus in Italien oder der New Deal in den USA. Die Autoren dieses Bandes hingegen betonen die vormodernen Wurzeln der Gewaltexzesse im 20. Jahrhundert und verorten die Diktaturerfahrungen in Russland, in der Sowjetunion und in China im Spannungsfeld moderner Ideen und vormoderner Lebenswelten. No library descriptions found. |
