Abstract (may include machine translation)

The present chapter reflects on a number of key controversies that shaped modern history and politics roughly between 1890 and 1945, with a special focus on discourses of crisis. Combining a conceptual history approach with a contextualist reading of political ideas in a transnational perspective, it seeks to reassess some of the key assumptions of research on this topic, many of them going back to the work of Reinhart Koselleck. It forms part of a larger research project seeking to contribute to the rethinking of modern European intellectual history from the vantage point of crisis discourses.
