Die studentische Lebenswelt in Universitatsstadten der Fruhen
Neuzeit ist ein bislang nicht untersuchtes Feld im Rahmen der
Forschungen zur Denunziation. Holger Zaunstock erforscht und
vergleicht erstmals auf empirischer Basis die Emergenz der
Denunziation in mehreren Universitatsstadten zwischen dem Ende des
17. Jahrhunderts und dem Epochenumbruch im fruhen 19. Jahrhundert:
Wie und warum wird Denunziationsverhalten ermoglicht, wie sind die
Menschen damit umgegangen und welche Verhaltensweisen wurden
entwickelt? Die Untersuchung stellt die Merkmale denunziatorischen
Verhaltens in sozialen, politischen und mentalen Handlungsfeldern
dar. Auf diese Weise wird ein Bild des Denunziationsverhaltens in
der Fruhen Neuzeit entworfen, das zahlreiche weitergehende
Anknupfungspunkte im Blick auf spatere politische Kulturen zur
Verfugung stellt."
The social substratum of Enlightenment in the ancien rA(c)gime was
constituted by the various Enlightenment societies. Learned and
Patriotic Societies, Freemason Lodges, Reading Societies, and
Secret Societies assembled aristocrats and burghers, scholars and
merchants, professors and students with a hitherto unprecedented
singleness of purpose. As yet there has been a signal absence of
prosopographic studies on this extensive society landscape in terms
of the structures displayed by this 'Fraternity of Enlighteners'.
In his study the author takes the example of central German
societies of this kind and embarks on a systematic analysis of
those structures. How many such societies were there in the 18th
century, where and when did they exist? Who were the members? Did
the societies exist in mutual isolation or were they interconnected
via multiple memberships and society 'careers'? Are there
indications for a fully-fledged network of 'enlightened' societies?
Recently, societies have come in for increasing attention in
research on the 18th century. Earlier the emphasis was on the
so-called 'Enlightenment societies' but now a broader range of
societalization processes have attracted the interest of humanities
scholars and cultural studies experts. Common to them all is an
interest in the emergence of sociability, networks and
communication structures. This is reflected programmatically in the
title of the volume. Studies on individual societies and their
members join with analyses of personal and institutional networks
to form the basis for an emergent picture of the communicative
history of societalization in the 18th century.
