Researching and writing its history has always been one of the
tasks of the university, particularly on the occasion of
anniversary celebrations. Through case studies of Prague (1848,
1948), Oslo (1911), Cluj (from 1919), Leipzig (2009) and Trondheim
(2010), this book shows the continuity of the close relationship
between jubilees and university historiography and the impact of
this interaction on the jubilee publications and academic heritage.
Up to today, historians are faced with the challenge of finding a
balance between an engaged, celebratory approach and a more
distant, academically critical one. In its third part, the book
aims to go beyond the jubilee and presents three other ways of
writing university history, by focusing on the university as an
educational institution. Contributors are: Thomas Brandt, Pieter
Dhondt, Marek Durcansky, Jonas Floeter, Jorunn Sem Fure, Trude
Maurer, Emmanuelle Picard, Ana-Maria Stan and Johan OEstling.
