Combining Ethnography, History, And Social Theory, Dominic Boyer'S Spirit And System Exposes How The Shifting Fortunes And Social Perceptions Of German Intellectuals In The Nineteenth And Twentieth Centuries Influenced Germans' Conceptions Of Modernity And National Culture.Boyer Analyzes The Creation And Mediation Of The Social Knowledge Of 'Germanness' From Nineteenthcentury University Culture And Its Philosophies Of History, To The Media Systems And Redemptive Public Cultures Of The Third Reich And The German Democratic Republic, To The Presentday Experiences Of Former East German Journalists Seeking To Explain Life In Postunification Germany. Throughout This Study, Boyer Reveals How Dialectical Knowledge Of 'Germanness'That Is, Knowledge That Emphasizes A Cultural Tension Between An Inner 'Spirit' And An External 'System' Of Social Life Is Modeled Unconsciously Upon Intellectuals' Selfknowledge As It Tracks Their Fluctuation Between Alienation And Utopianism In Their Interpretations Of Nation And Modernity.
