It is far too early to write the history of the pandemic or to
gauge its social consequences. But it is time for the first
explorations, for test drilling, as carried out in the fifteen
essays of this thematic booklet on History and Society. How does
the relationship between closeness and distance change, what does
the crisis mean for the state, for democracy and civil rights, for
social policy and social inequality? How are the weights shifting
in Europe, and which global experiences and upheavals should we
consider, from China to Latin America? Historians are experts not
only for the past, but also for the course of time, for
crisis-ridden transformations, for the tension between breaks and
continuities. The renowned authors write with their technical
competence, empirically founded and strong in theses. At the same
time, they reveal themselves as committed contemporary witnesses:
within a great shock: That is what makes this band so special.
