This volume represents a landmark intervention in the historiography of concepts. With clarifying overviews of such contested theoretical terrain as translatability, spatiality, and center-periphery dynamics, it also provides valuable insights into the current era of disenchantment with the European project.
The result of extensive collaboration among leading scholars from across Europe, Conceptual History in the European Space represents a landmark intervention in the historiography of concepts. It brings together ambitious thematic studies that combine the pioneering methods of historian Reinhart Koselleck with contemporary insights and debates, each one illuminating a key feature of the European conceptual landscape. With clarifying overviews of such contested theoretical terrain as translatability, spatiality, and center-periphery dynamics, it also provides indispensable contextualization for an era of widespread disenchantment with and misunderstanding of the European project.

Willibald Steinmetz is Professor of Modern and Contemporary History at Bielefeld University. He has published widely on conceptual history and is co-editor of the book series Historische Semantik with Vandenhoeck & Ruprecht. Among his publications are the edited volumes “Politik”: Situationen eines Wortgebrauchs im Europa der Neuzeit (2007), Political Languages in the Age of Extremes (2011) and Historische Semantik des Politischen: Vom Mittelalter bis ins 20. Jahrhundert, with Ulrich Meier and Martin Papenheim (2012).
