Archiv für Begriffsgeschichte. Band 66,1
Der Schwerpunkt dieses Hefts versammelt drei Beiträge zur Globalgeschichte des politischen Liberalismus. In transnational vergleichender Perspektive macht Harry Liebersohn Begriffsbildungspragmatiken, politische Agenden und Wertsysteme übersichtlich, die Liberale während des langen 19. Jahrhunderts in Mittel und Südeuropa, Indien und China unter je spezifischen Herausforderungen entwickelt haben. Leon Fink erhellt die ideen und organisationspolitisch einflussreiche Rolle des Reformjudentums in der Geschichte des USamerikanischen Liberalismus zwischen 1860 und 1936. Nikolaj Plotnikov und Olga Tikhomirova widmen sich der Bezeichnungs, Begriffs und Ideologiegeschichte des Liberalismus im postsowjetischen Russland von den frühen 1990er Jahren bis zur Gegenwart.
Behind the Angel of History

"This short book offers a dazzling new interpretation of Paul Klee's most famous work: his Angelus Novus (1920), which was purchased by Walter Benjamin and became the model for his Angel of History, a figure saturated with Jewish mysticism that he introduces in his "Theses on the Philosophy of History." In 2014 the celebrated American artist R. H. Quaytman made a surprising discovery about Klee's work when she examined it at the Jewish Museum in Israel. She realized that Klee had carefully pasted the Angelus down over another image, a face, leaving just a finger's breadth of it showing. Through forensic science and lots of sleuthing it was determined that face belonged to Martin Luther. Behind the Angel of History tells the story of how Quaytman solved the mystery of who lurks behind Klee's angel. It then plunges into questions about why a face long hidden beneath another picture might matter. The book travels through a tangle of loaded conversations among images-from Klee's Angelus to Benjamin's own drawing of a crucified angel, from Klee's Angelus to Quaytman's own layered panels meditating on its secret"--
