The influence of emotions on history

How have people experienced emotions in the past and how did their meanings differ from how we experience emotions today? What influence did emotions have on history?

GHIL Research Fellow for Modern History Ole Münch and PR Officer Kim König talk to Ute Frevert, the new president of the Max Weber Foundation, about the research behind her lecture on ‘The Power of Emotions in German History’.

Don’t miss Ute Frevert’s GHIL lecture for an in-depth discussion of the impact of emotions on Germany in the twentieth century, a period of dramatic changes that deeply affected people’s lives, mindsets, and feelings.
