Dard, Olivier, Uwe Puschner und Michel Grunewald (Hgg.):
Confrontations au national-socialisme en europe francophone et germanophone / Auseinandersetzungen mit dem Nationalsozialismus im deutsch- und französischsprachigen Europa (1919-1949). Volume 2: Les libéraux, modérés et européistes / Band 2: Die Liberalen, Modérés und Proeuropäer.
Sehr guter Zustand, zweisprachig deutsch-französisch. - Quelle fut la perception et l’interprétation du national-socialisme comme idéologie et comme pratique du pouvoir dans l’Europe francophone et germanophone entre le début des années 1920 et la fin des années 1940? Telle est la question au centre de la série de six volumes inaugurée en 2017 et qui propose une typologie des regards et des savoirs relatifs au national- socialisme et des interprétations suscitées par celui-ci à travers l’analyse systématique de monographies, de journaux et de revues représentatifs de l’opinion et des milieux intellectuels des pays intéressés. Le présent volume, second de la série, est centré sur le milieu politique formé par les libéraux, les modérés et les européistes. Il propose des études relatives à des interprétations du national-socialisme ainsi que d’autres centrées sur la vision de ce mouvement politique diffusée par une série de périodiques représentatifs. Wie werden Ideologie, Etablierung und Herrschaft des Nationalsozialismus in den deutsch- und französischsprachigen Räumen Europas vom Beginn der 1920er bis zum Ende der 1940er Jahre wahrgenommen, bewertet und erklärt? In sechs systematisch angelegten Bänden, der erste erschien 2017, werden diese Fragen anhand einer exemplarischen Auswahl von Büchern, Zeitungen und Zeitschriften ebenso untersucht wie die unterschiedlichen Deutungen des Nationalsozialismus in seiner Epoche und den unmittelbaren Jahren nach seinem Ende. Im Zentrum des zweiten Band stehen Liberale, modérés und Proeuropäer. Die Beiträge sind den verschiedenen Interpretationen des Nationalsozialismus in diesem politischen Spektrum gewidmet, insbesondere auch aus der Perspektive repräsentativer Zeitschriften dieses Milieus/dieser Milieus.
