Die 1694 und 1737 inaugurierten Universitäten in Halle und Göttingen gelten in der Forschung als Aufklärungsuniversitäten. Damit geht zum einen die Vorstellung einher, dass sich diese Universitäten in ihrer Struktur, ihrer Lehre und ihrer wissenschaftlichen Ausstrahlung deutlich von den übrigen Universitäten des Alten Reiches unterschieden hätten. Zum anderen werden beide Universitäten gerne aufeinander bezogen, gilt Göttingen als ideeller Nachfolger Halles, auch in der Funktion als Leuchtturm eines aufgeklärten Gelehrtenideals. Im Sammelband werden diese Annahmen auf den Prüfstand gestellt und kritisch erörtert. Dabei geht es erstens um die Frage, inwiefern sich an den Aufklär...

Sheds new light on European and regional book markets, the development of a public sphere and the impact of new media on intellectual, social, religious and political change. How do you become a citizen? Ever since printing was introduced, being a member of society increasingly involved reading and writing: for sociability and belonging, instruction and entertainment, profit and charity, spiritual awakening and political debate. Literary practices shaped and changed identities and the organisation of society during the Long Eighteenth Century. In Scandinavia, this happened locally, as well as transnationally - reading, writing and producing texts involved entanglements within and beyond the ...
Periodicals were an essential medium during eighteenth-century Enlightenment. The era’s growing number of newspapers and journals made possible a fast and vast dissemination of ideas and debates. Journals were a particularly important means of transmitting ideas, genres, texts, and pieces of information from country to country, from centre to periphery, and from press to subscribers. These journals became agents of change by mediating the increasingly profound and widespread urge to write and read and to engage in political debate. This volume, edited by Ellen Krefting, Aina Nøding and Mona Ringvej, presents contributions that explore this media revolution from a Northern perspective. The chapters throw new light on the reception of Enlightenment ideas and practices in Denmark–Norway, Sweden–Finland, and beyond. Taken together, they make a strong case for the transnational and revolutionary character of the Enlightenment as a whole.
