| Description: |
The university system, both in America and abroad, has claimed a universal significance for its research and educational models. At the same time, many universities, particularly in Europe, have also claimed another role - as custodian of national culture. This work explores this apparent contradiction and its resulting intellectual tensions. |
| Synopsis: |
The university system, both in America and abroad, has always claimed a universal significance for its research and educational models. At the same time, many universities, particularly in Europe, have also claimed another role - as custodian of national culture. "Transnational Intellectual Networks" explores this apparent contradiction and its resulting intellectual tensions with illuminating essays that span the nineteenth- and early-twentieth-century nationalization movements in Europe through the postwar era. |
