East West Street, 364: “I fear that the crime of genocide has distorted the prosecution of war crimes and crimes against humanity, because the desire to be labeled a victim of genocide brings pressure on prosecutors to indict for that crime. For some, to be labeled a victim of genocide becomes ‘an essential component of national identity’ without contribution to the resolution of historical disputes or making mass killings less frequent.”5 The Problems of Genocide, 496.6 The Problems of Genocide, 27.7 The Problems of Genocide, 471.8 The Problems of Genocide, 43.9 Anatol Lieven. “Ukraine’s War Is Like World War I, Not World War II.” Foreign Policy.

A state cannot be found criminally liable for genocide (or for anything else). And while it can be found civilly liable for the criminal actions of its agents, to date, no state has ever been held to be responsible for the commission of genocide.17 U.S. Dept. of State. “Genocide, Crimes Against Humanity and Ethnic Cleansing of Rohingya in Burma.” Available at https://www.state.gov/burma-genocide/","PeriodicalId":36896,"journal":{"name":"Global Intellectual History","volume":"157 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135759305","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Beethoven Imagines India: Personal Calling and Social Duties, 1815–1816","authors":"Harry Liebersohn","doi":"10.1080/23801883.2023.2260575","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/23801883.2023.2260575","url":null,"abstract":"ABSTRACTBeethoven’s diary entries for 1815–16 reveal the composer’s strong interest in India. They also present puzzles: How much can the intellectual historian tease out of a handful of notes? What can they teach us about his inner life? And what do they teach about cultural transmission in an age of revolution in Europe and British colonial expansion? Scholars have thus far dismissed his interest as romantic fantasy. Closer examination, however, reveals Beethoven’s serious engagement with the Sanskrit play Sakuntala and the Bhagavat Gita. At a moment of personal crisis, he found in them the balance of personal calling and social duties that he sought in his own life. Beethoven’s cultural context was the admiration for Indian letters of Herder, Schiller, Goethe and Friedrich Schlegel, as mediated through a survey of Indian civilisation by an enlightened monarchist geography professor, E. A. W. Zimmermann. In an era of status anxiety for Germany’s cultural elite, India was portrayed as a utopia of rule by the educated; its ethos aided Beethoven’s quest to reconcile artistic calling and service to humankind. Insights from Pierre Hadot and Michel Foucault further the article’s analysis of Beethoven’s search for a satisfactory way of life.KEYWORDS: BeethovenEnlightenmentNapoleonic eracultural transmissionHerder‌India AcknowledgementsA shorter version of this essay was presented at “Beethoven’s ‘Empire of the Mind’: Artistic ‘Effigies of the Ideal’ and the Cultural Politics of Resistance,” Tenth Bonn Humboldt Award Winners’ Forum, Beethoven House, Bonn, Germany, October 20–23, 2021. Other versions were presented to the Early Modern History Workshop, Princeton University, April 3, 2019, and to the Philadelphia Area Modern Germany Workshop, March 19, 2022. Participants at all these events mixed stimulating questions with enough encouragement to keep me writing and revising for six years. I am very grateful to William Kinderman for suggesting the topic in 2017, reading the essay after my presentation at the Beethoven House, and discussing it with me since then. Thanks as well to Mark Micale, Federica Rovelli, Sudev Seth, and the anonymous Global Intellectual History referees for reading the essay and offering thoughtful comments.
