Abstract

This essay offers a capsule memoir of a part-time Germanist. It recounts the author’s experience of coming of age in the 1990s when it was salad days for All Things German in North America and the sheen of Weimar shone. This decade was followed by the years of the global war on terror and eventually the global financial crisis, when German studies seemed to lose the plot and many historians of German quietly exited the subfield. The essay concludes with a reflection on political geography as a way to engage with German history and the German contribution to the world of ideas. German history is dense with suggestive answers to the evergreen questions of what a state should be and what kind of world it should exist in.

对政治地理学的呼唤

这篇文章提供了一个兼职德国人的简短回忆录。它讲述了作者在90年代的成长经历，当时北美是德国一切事物的萌芽期，魏玛的光辉熠熠生辉。这十年之后是全球反恐战争和最终的全球金融危机，当时德国研究似乎失去了方向，许多德国历史学家悄悄地退出了这个分支领域。本文以政治地理学作为研究德国历史和德国对思想世界的贡献的一种方式进行总结。对于一个国家应该是什么样的，以及它应该存在于什么样的世界这样的老生常谈的问题，德国的历史充满了启发性的答案。

期刊介绍： Widely considered the top journal in its field, New German Critique is an interdisciplinary journal that focuses on twentieth- and twenty-first-century German studies and publishes on a wide array of subjects, including literature, film, and media; literary theory and cultural studies; Holocaust studies; art and architecture; political and social theory; and philosophy. Established in the early 1970s, the journal has played a significant role in introducing U.S. readers to Frankfurt School thinkers and remains an important forum for debate in the humanities.
