Julia Lange, M.A.

About Julia Lange:

Having joined the team in October 2020, Julia Lange is a member of the Freigeist-Fellowship research project "Radical Utopian Communities: Global Histories from the Margins, 1900-1950" led by Dr. Robert Kramm.

Research interests and research project:

• Europe and Asia in a global context
• Chinese history of the early 20^th century
• Spanish history of the early 20^th century
• History of anarchism in the late 19^th and early 20^th centuries

While local characteristics were different, anarchism was a strong movement in both the Chinese and Spanish context in the early twentieth century. By analysing transnational connections between Chinese and Spanish anarchists, Julia Lange investigates how the term “solidarity” was filled with meaning. Furthermore, her dissertation project shows how anarchists created a blueprint for an envisioned future global society with its own knowledge system, expressions and even language, independent of states, nation, race, or borders.
