Berghahn Series
Making Sense of History
Studies in Historical Cultures
General Editor:
Stefan Berger, Director, Institute for Social Movements, Ruhr Universität Bochum, Germany
Founding Editor:
Jörn Rüsen, Professor Emeritus University of Witten/Herdecke and Senior Fellow, Institute for Advanced Study in the Humanities at Essen, Germany.
Bridging the gap between historical theory and the study of historical memory, this series crosses the boundaries between both academic disciplines and cultural, social, political and historical contexts. In an age of rapid globalization, which tends to manifest itself on an economic and political level, locating the cultural practices involved in generating its underlying historical sense is an increasingly urgent task.
