Max Weber in politics and social thought : from charisma to canonization
No full textMax Weber is widely regarded as one of the foundational thinkers of the twentieth century. But how did this reclusive German scholar manage to leave such an indelible mark on modern political and social thought? Max Weber in Politics and Social Thought is the first comprehensive account of Weber's wide-ranging impact on both German and American intellectuals. Drawing on a wide range of sources, Joshua Derman illuminates what Weber meant to contemporaries in the Weimar Republic and Nazi Germany and analyzes why they reached for his concepts to articulate such widely divergent understandings of modern life. It also accounts for the transformations that Weber's concepts underwent at the hands of émigré and American scholars, and in doing so, elucidates one of the major intellectual movements of the mid-twentieth century: the transatlantic migration of German thought

The Limits of Empire: Imperial History in the Wake of the Transnational Turn
No full textThe participants in this panel engage with recent historiography—and with each other—to debate the limits of imperial frameworks for understanding the past. Does the current emphasis on transnational approaches to the past add to, or detract from, imperial perspectives? Does the analytical validity of imperial containers fade during the modern era? Do stark divisions between the early modern Age of Empires and the modern Age of Nations obscure more than they clarify? The three papers presented will address these questions by drawing on case studies from Nazi Germany, twentieth-century China, and the eighteenth-century Atlantic world. In doing so, they aim to initiate a discussion of imperial history that will be of interest to scholars working on diverse temporal and geographic topics. Joshua Derman (Hong Kong University of Science and Technology) examines how the opposition between land and sea empires was thematized by Carl Schmitt, a controversial German theorist whose work is often uncritically cited by historians of empire today. Schmitt’s theories of land and sea cannot provide a coherent heuristic for historians, Derman argues; rather, they represent the product of a shifting field of dubious ideological positions. Shellen Wu (University of Tennessee) proposes revising twentieth-century Chinese history by stepping back from the discourse of the nation, and refocusing attention on the geographical expanse of the modern Chinese state. The rise of geopolitics, she argues, proves an invaluable framework for understanding how the discourses of science, race, and empire combined in the twentieth century to formulate a new ideology of empire. Turning our attention to the eighteenth-century Atlantic world, Christopher Magra (University of Tennessee) argues that capitalist behavior complicates the utility of imperial analytical frameworks. Merchants living in colonial Massachusetts—like their Dutch, French, and Spanish counterparts—flouted imperial commercial regulations, traded directly with foreign entrepreneurs, and defied the efforts of imperial customs agents in their pursuit of profits. Self-interested profit maximizers certainly made use of imperial legal and political institutions, but they did so to suit their own ends. The session will be chaired and commented by Jeremy Adelman, Walter Samuel Carpenter III Professor in Spanish Civilization and Culture and Director of the Council for International Teaching and Research at Princeton University. Prof. Adelman studies the history of Latin America in comparative and world contexts. He is the author or editor of ten books, including most recently Worldly Philosopher: The Odyssey of Albert O. Hirschman, which will be published in March 2013
