Extrait : ""J'ai rencontré bien des choses drôles dans le courant de ma vie. Je sais un homme de lettres qui, sous prétexte qu'il a obtenu d'agréables succès comme faiseur d'élégies, de vaudevilles et de romans intimes, a fini par rêver qu'il est un homme politique, et passe sa vie à se demander pourquoi la France, l'ingrate France ! ne l'élève pas, tout d'une voix, à un ministère quelconque.""

The name DGGTB (Deutsche Gesellschaft für Geschichte und Theorie der Biologie; German Society for the History and Philosophy of Biology) reflects recent history as well as German tradition. The Society is a relatively late addition to a series of German societies of science and medicine that began with the "Deutsche Gesellschaft für Geschichte der Medizin und der Naturwissenschaften", founded in 1910 by Leipzig University's Karl Sudhoff (1853-1938), who wrote: "We want to establish a 'German' society in order to gather German-speaking historians together in our special disciplines so that they form the core of an international society ...". Yet Sudhoff, at this time of burgeoning academic internationalism, was "quite willing" to accommodate the wishes of a number of founding members and "drop the word German in the title of the Society and have it merge with an international society". The founding and naming of the Society at that time derived from a specifi c set of historical circumstances, and the same was true some 80 years later when in 1991, in the wake of German reunification, the "Deutsche Gesellschaft für Geschichte und Theorie der Biologie" was founded. From the start, the Society has been committed to bringing studies in the history and philosophy of biology to a wide audience, using for this purpose its Jahrbuch für Geschichte und Theorie der Biologie. Parallel to the Jahrbuch, the Verhandlungen zur Geschichte und Theorie der Biologie has become the by now traditional medium for the publication of papers delivered at the Society's annual meetings. In 2005 the Jahrbuch was renamed Annals of the History and Philosophy of Biology, refl ecting the Society's internationalist aspirations in addressing comparative biology as a subject of historical and philosophical studies.

The article presents the text of the papal bull "Inter caetera" of May 4, 1493, which defined the line of demarcation of future Spanish and Portuguese explorations. The message is authored by a bishop of the Catholic Church, addressed to King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella of Spain. The document emphasizes that the exploration of uncharted territory is a means by which the spread of Catholicism might be accomplished. Acknowledgments of the contributions of New World explorer Christopher Columbus are included. Guidelines are provided for determining the authority and jurisdiction over newly discovered lands. A rule is given against entering newly discovered territories for the purpose of trade without a permit. The author asserts that the Catholic Church maintains authority in the conduct of existing and future exploration of undiscovered territories.

Die Didaktik hat bis heute ein schwieriges Verhältnis zu Humor und Komik. Das Buch legt historisch dar, wie Schüler*innen einerseits immer vermittelt werden sollte, bestimmte Weisen zu urteilen und handeln "ernst zu nehmen", womit andererseits aber auch immer die Ausgrenzung anderer Formen von Subjektivität als "unernst" einherging. Während die Didaktik des Deutschunterrichts ein Interesse an der Kultivierung bestimmter Formen des Humors hatte, wurden andere Formen als zynisch oder frech verworfen. In der Untersuchung wird rekonstruiert, auf welchen Grundlagen solche Grenzziehungen vorgenommen wurden. Dabei werden die Umrisse einer Ideen- und Programmgeschichte des Deutschunterrichts sichtbar, die mit systematischen Überlegungen zur Didaktik des Komischen verbunden wird.
