Title: Anachronismen als Widerparte des Historisierens
Abstract: „Always historicize!“ – the methodological imperative of modern humanities – has recently been countered by its opposite „Always anachronize!“. The first section of this articles argues for an expanded understanding of historicization that includes its counterparts, inter alia anachronism. The second section analyses the example of a (covert) fictional representation of history published in 2015, Angela Steidele’s Rosenstengel. Ostensibly an edition of newfound sources, it takes the interplay of historicization and anachronism particularly far and thus presents it to the reader to see through. Finally, the article discusses the rehabilitation of anachronism that is currently advancing both in artistic representations of history and in theory. How does historicization change when anachronism is no longer seen and treated as the greatest danger, coming from outside, but as an inherent, potentially productive component?
