Frederick Jackson Turner

    14. listopad 1861 – 14. březen 1932

    Frederick Jackson Turner byl americký historik, který se ve své práci zaměřoval na formování americké demokracie a charakteru prostřednictvím expanzivní západní hranice. Jeho vlivná „Teze o hranici“ tvrdila, že tato neustále se posouvající hranice byla klíčovým faktorem, který definoval americkou identitu od koloniální éry až do konce 19. století. Turner také prosazoval mezioborové a kvantitativní metody výzkumu, často se zaměřením na oblast Středozápadu. Jeho práce vyvolala rozsáhlé diskuse a zásadně ovlivnila historickou vědu i vnímání americké duše.

      Frederick Jackson Turners Essay von 1893 beweist in der Ära Trump seine zeitlose Gültigkeit. Er ist einer der klassischen Texte über Amerikas Befindlichkeit: In Gottes eigenem Land haben die Amerikaner den Auftrag, vorbildlich für die ganze Welt eine neue Gesellschaft zu errichten. Das ist ihr großes Schicksal. Turner hat die amerikanische »Frontier« im Blick, jenen Grenzbereich im Westen, der immer wieder überschritten werden soll, um neues Gelände zu erobern und zu kolonisieren. Doch was soll man tun, wenn in der ewigen Bewegung nach Westen irgendwann das Meer erreicht ist und sich keine neuen Ziele mehr anbieten? Der Amerikanist Philipp Gassert erläutert in seinem Nachwort das Amerika der Gegenwart in Rückgriff auf diese grundlegenden, seit Jahrzehnten hier erstmals neu übersetzten und kommentierten Texte.
