The Social War (91-88 BCE) is one of the most significant episodes in Roman history: from this war, in which Rome fought against her Italic allies, emerged the elite that would lead the Republic in the last decades of its existence and that would provide the senatorial aristocracy of the early imperial age. The Italic rebels were defeated militarily, yet they achieved their political aims. As such, this war – and its elaboration and memorialization in Roman cultural memory – provides a very interesting case study about how "victory" and "defeat" are constructed discursively after a disruptive war, and how its narration is "functionalized" for a re-foundation of the civic body.
70 Jahre Israel
(2019)
Schon kurz nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg wurde die These vertreten, die Shoah sei ein wichtiger, wenn nicht gar entscheidender Faktor für die Gründung des Staates Israel gewesen. Der Essay arbeitet heraus, dass der nationalsozialistische Judenmord sicherlich eine moralisch-legitimatorische Funktion gehabt hat, ein unmittelbarer kausaler Zusammenhang mit der Staatsgründung aber nicht nachzuweisen ist.
The German Sonderweg thesis has been discarded in most research fields. Yet in regards to the military, things differ: all conflicts before the Second World War are interpreted as prelude to the war of extermination between 1939-1945. This article specifically looks at the Franco-Prussian War 1870-71 and German behaviour vis-a-vis regular combatants, civilians and irregular guerrilla fighters, the so-called francs-tireurs. The author argues that the counter-measures were not exceptional for nineteenth century warfare and also shows how selective reading of the existing secondary literature has distorted our view on the war.
