How does historical representation come about, and what happens when it itself becomes historical? The Tel Aviv Yearbook 2018 addresses questions of the portrayal of history and analyzes the conditions and functions of senses, voices, and images that create a representation. The contributions focus on representation in recent German history, from Herder and Kant to Richard Wagner, Walter Benjamin, and Gerhard Richter, as well as contemporary German film. For this purpose, historical documents, philosophical writings, dramas, and performing arts are examined. This results in a multi-perspective view of the relationship between history and representation. From the content: Iilt Ferber: Herder on the origin of language and listening.
