This book traces changing attitudes towards secrecy in eighteenth-century France, and explores the cultural origins of ideas surrounding government transparency. The idea of keeping secrets, both on the part of individuals and on the part of governments, came to be viewed with more suspicion as the century progressed. By the eve of the French Revolution, writers voicing concerns about corruption saw secrecy as part and parcel of despotism, and this shift went hand in hand with the rise of the idea of transparency. The author argues that the emphasis placed on government transparency, especially the mania for transparency that dominated the French Revolution, resulted from the surprising connections and confluence of changing attitudes towards honour, religious movements, rising nationalism, literature, and police practices. Exploring religious ideas that associated secrecy with darkness and wickedness, and proto-nationalist discourse that equated foreignness with secrecy, this book demonstrates how cultural shifts in eighteenth-century France influenced its politics. Covering the period of intense fear during the French Revolution and the paranoia of the Reign of Terror, the book highlights the complex interplay of culture and politics and provides insights into our attitudes towards secrecy today. Nicole Bauer is Assistant Professor of European History at the University of Tulsa in the USA. A cultural historian of early modern France, she is particularly interested in pulling threads from different directions to understand and uncover the cultural origins of political and social movements.

Die Studie beschäftigt sich mit Konflikten und Spannungsfeldern, die in interreligiösen Bildungsprozessen im deutschsprachigen Kontext (Österreich) in schulischen und universitären Kontexten auftreten können. Dies ist zugleich eine Neuheit und ein Wagnis. Eine Neuheit deshalb, weil zwar gegenwärtig viel über Interreligiosität gesprochen wird, es aber an Forschung zu interreligiösen Kooperationen in der religionspädagogischen und religionsdidaktischen Praxis sowie insbesondere an empirischen Studien mangelt. Ein Wagnis ist das Buch deshalb, da Konflikte, Probleme, Meinungsverschiedenheiten oder Unstimmigkeiten, die in interreligiösen Bildungssettings auftreten, nur selten in den Mittelpunkt gerückt werden. Es scheint vielmehr eine Art Unbehagen oder Zögerlichkeit zu bestehen, sich mit diesen Fragen auseinanderzusetzen. Unsere empirische Analyse widmet sich daher explizit auftretenden Konflikten und Konfliktdynamiken in interreligiösen Bildungsprozessen und berücksichtigt die Perspektiven von etablierten Religionslehrer/-innen, Schüler/-innen, angehenden Religionslehrer/-innen (Studierende) sowie Universitätsdozent/-innen. Auf dieser Basis werden wegweisende religionspädagogische Einsichten und praktische Perspektiven in unterschiedlichen Bildungssettings formuliert, um die interreligiöse Zusammenarbeit in Zukunft zu stärken und zu verbessern. Whenever people from different cultural and religious backgrounds converge, it produces tension and ambivalence. This study delves into conflicts in interreligious educational processes in both theory and practice, presenting the results of empirical research conducted at schools and universities and formulating ground-breaking practical perspectives for interreligious collaboration in various religious-pedagogical settings.
