Toussaint Louverture, “Spin Doctor”?: Launching the Haitian Revolution in the Media Sphere
Jenson begins from a claim Susan Buck-Morss advanced in "Hegel and Haiti": that Hegel's dialectic of master and slave took shape while he was at Jena reading press reports about the turmoil in Saint-Domingue. The newspaper in question, Minerva, mattered to how Hegel saw the world.
Buck-Morss went through its coverage, which was unusually heavy. Across 1804 and 1805 the paper ran a continuing series on the colony that came to more than a hundred pages, mixing source documents, digests of the news, and accounts from witnesses. With that research in hand, Jenson suggests, the appearance of Hegel's enormously influential paradigm looks less like coincidence than like a response to something he was reading.
