Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels had realized the power of revolutionary movements within history, and considered them an essential step towards the creation of a classless society. Nevertheless, the number of failed revolutions is as high as the dreams and hopes usually related to a revolutionary change. As a global phenomenon of modernity, the history of revolutions needs to be written comparatively, and for this a comparative model is without any doubt a necessary tool.
Such a model, namely a comparative ten-step model will be provided in this book, to be then used to compare revolutionary case studies. Of course, the similarities among them are of special interest, while the diversity, related to regional or national preconditions, shall not be neglected. However, a comparison promises a better and critical insight into the historical developments of revolutionary processes as such.
Frank Jacob führt aus, welche Rolle Affen für die Selbstwahrnehmung des Menschen spielten und wie sie, etwa als Objekt in Forschung und Populärmedien, gleichermaßen als humanoides Tier begriffen wurden und werden. Er beleuchtet dabei schlaglichtartig eine Beziehungsgeschichte, die bis heute andauert, wobei die Intensität dieser Beziehung zwischen Mensch und Primat im Laufe der Jahrhunderte immer wieder neu definiert wurde.
In Band 6 der ›Kritischen Reflexionen‹ widmet sich Frank Jacob diesem globalen Phänomen der Moderne und beleuchtet einige grundlegende Fragen im Hinblick auf Ziele, Abläufe und Interessengruppen innerhalb revolutionärer Transformationsprozesse.

This paper will present the transnational biography of Katayama Sen, an important Japanese intellectual who initially wanted to become a Christian missionary in Japan, but turned out to be a socialist and communist later. The article will follow him from Japan to the United States and his later stops in Mexico or the Soviet Union, to name just a couple of stations of Katayama's revolutionary life. During this reconstruction of his political and geographical journey it will be shown how, embedded into the global history of Japan, revolution, and the Communist International, Katayama's life evolved and how he tried to impact the course of history towards world revolution as a member of the Executive Committee of the Communist International.

Friedrich Engels was born on November 28, 1820 and should become, together with Karl Marx, one of the most influential philosophers and political thinkers of the 19th century. 200 years later his writings and ideas are still important. Therefore his impact and possible inspiration for the problems our current world is dealing with should be taken into closer consideration.
The present call for papers therefore addresses scholars (at all career stages and from all possible disciplines) working on aspects or questions related to Engels' work and ideas to submit a paper proposal (max. 300 words) and a short biography (ca. 100 words) to be considered for a volume that deals with Engels' role for the 21st century. Which of his ideas are still important and/or inspiring? Which ideas and thoughts have been missed in previous discussions. The proposals should be offering new approaches to Engels' works and how they can be connected to the essential problems of our time.
Proposals are due by December 31, 2019.
Authors will be informed about acceptance of their proposals by January 15, 2020.
The deadline for the final papers - 6,500 to 8,000 words, using footnotes (Chicago Manual of Style) - is March 31, 2020.
Proposals or queries should be sent to: [email protected]

Vor 200 Jahren wurde Friedrich Engels geboren und auch heute noch sind seine Texte von großem Wert, denn sie sind oftmals zeitlos und für unser Leben oft von nicht zu unterschätzender Aktualität, geben sie doch Anreize, sich kritisch mit den Problemen unserer Zeit auseinanderzusetzen.
migration of human beings and the interventions of state power. Therefore, we ask for paper proposals from all

En el contexto de un resurgir de la historia militar, o más bien de su aparición bajo nuevos supuestos, la Guerra Civil española está llamada a ocupar de nuevo un lugar preeminente, pero solo a condición de que en la nueva agenda de investigación se la aborde de una forma distinta a la que ha dominado. La guerra en España fue crudelísima, pero eso no convierte su historia en excepcional: entre 1919 y 1949 hubo guerras internas, abiertas o larvadas, en casi todos los países europeos: Rusia, Finlandia, Hungría, España, Francia, Italia, el Reino de Yugoslavia, Polonia, Grecia... Tras la caída de los grandes paradigmas socioeconómicos, la historiografía ha vuelto la vista a las guerras europeas en busca de claves identitarias y culturales, descifrando los conflictos civiles o interestatales desde la perspectiva de, entre otras, la categoría de cultura de guerra. Uno de los grandes objetivos de la nueva historia militar pasa, así, por la revisión de algunos conflictos bélicos como el del 36-39 a la luz de las categorías interpretativas fuertes que se han venido generando en las últimas décadas alrededor, fundamentalmente, de las guerras mundiales del siglo XX.
