Official Course Description
Every concept arises in a context and changes through its use - it has a history. Tracing conceptual histories is now not only a technique of historical work independent of one's own discipline, but also a research programme that is particularly associated with the German-speaking world, especially with the Federal Republic of Germany in the post-war period and its long-term projects in the humanities.
The seminar has three aims:

[*]To provide an introduction to the theory and working methods of conceptual history;
[*]to examine some exemplary projects in conceptual history;
[*]to gain an overview of the academic research programme. A special focus will be on contemporary digital projects.

The [b]assessment [/b]consists of two parts:
