Disha Karnad Jani – In our re-examination of Koselleck’s work on his centennial, I ask what happens when we turn one of his characteristics for modern concepts – the “simultaneity of the non-simultaneous” – on its head. Why, I ask, did his work on the modern concept of revolution and the revolutions of the 1950s-70s appear to him as inassimilable?
Corentin Marion – Das Lexikon der Geschichtlichen Grundbegriffe, zwischen 1972 und 1997 herausgegeben von Reinhart Koselleck, Otto Brunner und Werner Conze, bildet zweifelsohne das Hauptwerk der klassischen Begriffsgeschichte. Obwohl sie den Einfluss der romanischen Sprachen aufs Deutsche berücksichtigten, blieben die Einträge weitestgehend auf den deutschen Sprachraum konzentriert.

Sean Franzel – Though the term seriality is not a central element of Koselleck’s critical vocabulary, his work is very much attuned to how patterns of repetition and variation—defining features of serial forms—shape experiences of historical events, organize language use, and inform how historical sources are produced and evaluated.
Luke O’Sullivan – In The Postmodern Condition Jean-François Lyotard defined a metanarrative as a vision of the historical process that served some legitimatory role. A metanarrative did not need to make claims regarding historical necessity, but it must function as a justification of a political position of some kind. Subsequent developments suggest that while his definition was sound, his prediction that metanarratives were in decline was falsified by events.
