Transformation, modernity and the East German Sonderweg

Feiwel Kupferberg

pp. 170-186

Abstract

As most theorists tend to agree upon, transformation is a very complex process. This is also practically the only thing they have been able to agree upon. But what is actually "transformation", and how should it be studied, by what conceptual tools? Which models should be used? Nobody knows, or rather every approach seems valid. The field is thus obeying Feyerabend's advice, following his maxim that anything goes.
