Throughout Germany's tumultuous twentieth century, photography was
an indispensable form of documentation. Whether acting as artists,
witnesses, or reformers, both professional and amateur
photographers chronicled social worlds through successive periods
of radical upheaval. The Ethics of Seeing brings together an
international group of scholars to explore the complex relationship
between the visual and the historic in German history. Emphasizing
the transformation of the visual arena and the ways in which
ordinary people made sense of world events, these revealing case
studies illustrate photography's multilayered role as a new form of
representation, a means to subjective experience, and a fresh mode
of narrating the past.

Sediments of Time features the most important essays by renowned
German historian Reinhart Koselleck not previously available in
English, several of them essential to his theory of history. The
volume sheds new light on Koselleck's crucial concerns, including
his theory of sediments of time; his theory of historical
repetition, duration, and acceleration; his encounters with
philosophical hermeneutics and political and legal thought; his
concern with the limits of historical meaning; and his views on
historical commemoration, including that of the Second World War
and the Holocaust. A critical introduction addresses some of the
challenges and potentials of Koselleck's reception in the
Anglophone world.

Has there always been an inalienable 'right to have rights' as part
of the human condition, as Hannah Arendt famously argued? The
contributions to this volume examine how human rights came to
define the bounds of universal morality in the course of the
political crises and conflicts of the twentieth century. Although
human rights are often viewed as a self-evident outcome of this
history, the essays collected here make clear that human rights are
a relatively recent invention that emerged in contingent and
contradictory ways. Focusing on specific instances of their
assertion or violation during the past century, this volume
analyzes the place of human rights in various arenas of global
politics, providing an alternative framework for understanding the
political and legal dilemmas that these conflicts presented. In
doing so, this volume captures the state of the art in a field that
historians have only recently begun to explore.
