    Keywords: History and Archaeology ; CE period up to c 1500 ; Diplomacy ; European history ; History ; Medieval History ; Medieval Translations
    Abstract: The first English translation of Magnus the Lawmender’s law code, this book allows students and scholars to interpret, compare and add their perspectives to this crucial source to European legal history. The Laws of the Land are one of the very few law books issued in the Middle Ages which regulated a whole kingdom. It stayed in force until the late 17th century, shaping society, politics and law in Norway and its surrounding regions for over 400 years. This book is separated into three parts. The first is an introduction to the laws written by the translator, Jóhanna Katrín Friðriksdóttir. The second and longest section of the book is a complete English translation of the Laws of the Land. The final part is a glossary, which lays out the most important Old Norse legal terms with English translations. The glossary also contains explanations and conversions of religious feast days which are relevant in the law. Providing familiarity with the Laws of the Land, this book is crucial to students and scholars of Medieval history alike to understanding the social, legal, political, and intellectual developments of the Nordic High Middle Ages

    Abstract: This book offers a striking and pointed reflection on what histories of masculinity in modern Britain have been and where they might go next. Addressing the constant contemporary talk of crisis around men’s lives, Men and Masculinities argues powerfully that we need histories of masculinity which are present-centred and politically engaged. In so doing, it sets out a new agenda for the field. Ranging over the past 130 years, a series of engaging and original essays trace how men, like masculinity, were made. In exploring that process, contributors demonstrate the radically different ways in which men made sense of the world and their place in it. The book provides compelling evidence of how individual life stories can transform how we think about the time- and place-specific formation of men’s experiences and ideas of masculinity. Through vivid case studies that include trans men’s encounters with the welfare state, the experience of wounded Jamaican servicemen, and the social world of the public librarian, the volume interweaves histories of masculinity with wider histories of society, culture, economy, and politics. It is on that basis that the work shows how thinking critically about histories of masculinity also provides new ways of understanding the making and remaking of modern Britain. Men and Masculinities both provides a critical genealogy for contemporary gender politics and the persistence of patriarchy and male power and establishes new ways of understanding how men’s lives and ideas of masculinity have (and have not) changed in modern Britain

    Abstract: This open access book explores knowledge practices by five women from different European contexts. Contributors document, analyze, and discuss how women employed practices of privacy to pursue knowledge that did not necessarily conform with the curriculum prescribed for them. The practices of Jane Lumley in England, Camila Herculiana in Padua, Victorine de Chastenay in Paris, as well as Elisabeth Sophie Marie and Philippine Charlotte in Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel, will help us to exemplify the delicate balance between audacity and obedience that women had to employ to be able to explore science, literature, philosophy, theology, and other types of learned activities. Cases range from the sixteenth to the nineteenth century, presenting continuities and discontinuities across temporal and geographical lines of the strategies that women used to protect their knowledge production and retain intact their reputations as good Christian daughters, wives, and mothers. Taken together, the essays show how having access to privacy—the ability to regulate access to themselves while studying and learning—was a crucial condition for the success of the knowledge activities these women pursued. This is an open access book

    Series Statement: Early Modern Court Studies
    Keywords: European history ; Ethical issues and debates ; court culture, privacy, gender, politics, art/architecture, literature
    Abstract: Grand, extravagant, magnificent, scandalous, corrupt, political, personal, fractious; these are terms often associated with the medieval and early modern courts. Moreover, the court constituted a forceful nexus in the social world, which was central to the legitimacy and authority of rulership. As such, courts shaped European politics and culture: architecture, art, fashion, patronage, and cultural exchanges were integral to the spectacle of European courts. Researchers have convincingly emphasised the public nature of courtly events, procedures, and ceremonies. Nevertheless, court life also involved pockets of privacy, which have yet to be systematically addressed. This edited collection addresses this lacuna and offers interpretations that urge us to reassesses the public nature of European courts. Thus, the proposed publication will fertilise the grounds for a discussion of the past and future of court studies. Indeed, the contributions make us reconsider present-day understandings of privacy as a stable and uncontestable notion

    Abstract: Das Nachleben zu Lebzeiten gestalten. Dokumentation als Versprechen und Verfahren in literarischen Formaten des 20. Jahrhunderts. »Nachleben im Arbeitsmaterial« wirft einen neuen Blick auf die Geschichte dokumentarischer Kunstformen. Ausgehend von bibliothekarischen und archivarischen Überlegungen um 1900 zeichnet Lucas Knierzinger die moderne Faszination für das Dokumentarische und ihre literarischen Auswirkungen nach. Dokumentieren stellt um 1900 eine Kulturtechnik dar, die mit Vorstellungen und Träumen der Organisierbarkeit im modernen Informationsüberfluss auftritt. Als literarische Verfahren verknüpft sie sich mit neuen Ideen von künstlerischer Arbeit und Formaten eines Werkes. In drei Fallstudien folgt Lucas Knierzinger dem Verhältnis von Dokumentation und Format, durch welches ein Nachleben entlang von Arbeitsmaterialien entworfen wird: in den Modellbüchern Bertolt Brechts, in den Notizbüchern von Peter Weiss und den vielfältigen Formaten, in denen Heiner Müller seine Gesprächsaufzeichnungen verarbeitet. Eröffnet wird damit eine Geschichte der Dokumentation im 20. Jahrhundert, die neuartige Vorstellungen literarischen Arbeitens und des Nachlebens von künstlerischen Werken aushandelt

    Keywords: Agriculture & related industries ; Agriculture & farming ; Conservation of the environment ; European history ; Shepherds;Pastoralism;Sustainability;Ecology;Spain;Case studies
    Abstract: This book draws on the life stories told by shepherds, farmers, and their families in the Andalusian region in Spain to sketch out the landscapes, actions, and challenges of people who work in pastoralism. Their narratives highlight how local practices interact with regional and European communities and policies, and they help us see a broader role for extensive grazing practices and sustainability. A Country of Shepherds is timely, reflecting the growing interest in ecological farming methods as well as the Spanish government’s recent work with UNESCO to recognise the seasonal movement of herd animals in the Iberian Peninsula as an Intangible Cultural Heritage. Demonstrating the critical role of tradition, cultural geographies, and sustainability in the Mediterranean, this book will appeal to academicians but also to general readers who seek to understand, in very human terms, the impact of the world-wide environmental crisis we are now experiencing

    Abstract: Edited by Martin Biddle with a catalogue of the known coins of the mint by Yvonne Harvey, this volume records and illustrates the minting of silver pennies in Winchester between the reigns of Alfred the Great and Henry III, a period of three and a half centuries. At the Mint, which was situated in the area of the High Street to the east of where the city’s cross now stands, at least 24 million silver pennies (possibly as many as 50 million) were struck. Five and a half thousand survive in museums and collections all over the world. These have been sought out and photographed (some 3200 coins in 6400 images detailing both sides), and minutely catalogued by Yvonne Harvey for this volume. 〈br〉〈br〉 During the period from late in the reign of Alfred to the time of Henry III, dies for striking the coins were produced centrally under royal authority in the most sophisticated system of monetary control at the time in the western world. In this first account of a major English mint to have been made in forty years, a team of leading authorities have studied and analysed the use the Winchester moneyers made of the dies, and together with the size, weight, and the surviving number of coins from each pair of dies, have produced a detailed account of the varying fortunes of the mint over this period. Their results are critical for the economic history of England and the changing status of Winchester over this long period, and provide the richest available source for the history of the name of the city and the personal names of its citizens in the later Anglo-Saxon period

    Series Statement: Nordic Studies in a Global Context
    Keywords: Regional studies ; Economics ; Politics & government ; Organizational theory & behaviour ; Management of specific areas ; European history ; Nordic societies ; Scandinavia ; governance ; Scandinavian societies ; Nordic governance ; associative governance
    Abstract: This edited volume explores a variety of aspects of associative governance, providing detailed case studies of associations and associational governance in Scandinavia. Theoretically developing a concept and approach of associative governance, the book sheds light on a dynamic way of perceiving associative aspects of community and commercial life that has been hitherto underexplored and undertheorized. It shows how governance by associations may be conducted not only bottom‑up by self‑organized and voluntary participation, but also top‑down by authoritative incorporation through government, and – not least – in multifarious interstices in between. New section by exploring a vibrant panoply of dimensions of associative governance, empirically grounded in historical analyses of a wide range of organizational repertoires, the book may provide novel insights into the significant role of associative governance in Scandinavia over the past two centuries. Finally, it provides research‑based knowledge about how to maintain “good political and economic institutions” in the future and a more holistic and dynamic approach to the literature on The Nordic model. The book will be of key interest to scholars and students of Nordic and Scandinavian studies, history, sociology, political science, marketing, social policy, organization theory, and public management.

    Abstract: This open access book explores the transnational and transoceanic dimensions of the debate on gender and women's cultural agency and mediation in the long eighteenth century. It aims to decenter perspectives on traditional Enlightenment geographies, by emphasizing cultural transfers between Southern Europe and the rest of Europe, as well as with the Americas; by focusing on a variety of cultural mediators—women authors, female (and male) translators, readers, travelers, and disseminators; and by examining diverse written and visual sources—from correspondence, travel narratives, and philosophical essays, to novels, opera, portraits

    Keywords: European history ; lékařství ; baroko ; výuka ; středověk ; Praha ; filozofie
    Abstract: Kniha Mezi Markem Marci a Löwem z Erlsfeldu je prvním monografickým pojednáním o obsahu výuky na pražské lékařské fakultě v době barokní; titul odkazuje ke dvěma významným českým profesorům medicíny té doby. Výklad je chronologicky rámován obnovením lékařské fakulty po bitvě na Bílé hoře a počátkem vlády císařovny Marie Terezie (1740). Čtenář se nejprve dozví, co a z jakých učebnic se v pobělohorské době v Praze studovalo, včetně širšího kontextu dobové medicíny ve srovnání s fakultami v cizině. Dále se studie detailněji zaměřila na některé aspekty lékařských teorií v díle Jana Marka Marci z Kronlandu, např. na historii počátků středoevropského očkování proti neštovicím. Součástí pojednání je i podrobný rozbor prolínání lékařských teorií s dobovou filozofií. Nechybí ani popis postupného šíření objevu krevního oběhu ve středoevropské lékařské literatuře, na němž lze dobře pozorovat, jak se v baroku medicína postupně modernizovala. Práce rehabilituje baroko tradičně vykládané jako doba „temna“, neboť ukazuje, jak se lékařská učenost onoho období v Praze originálně rozvíjela a jak vzkvétala

    Abstract: Why are some figures hidden from history? Eliza Orme, despite becoming the first woman in Britain to earn a university degree in Law in 1888, leading both a political organization and a labour investigation in 1892, and participating actively in the women’s suffrage movement into the early twentieth century, is one such figure. Framed as a ‘research memoir’, Eliza Orme’s Ambitions fills out earlier scant accounts of this intriguing life, while speculating about why it has been overlooked. Established historian Leslie Howsam shapes the story around her own persistent curiosity in the context of a transformed research landscape, where important letters and explosive newspaper accounts have only recently come to light. These materials show how Orme’s career ambitions brought her into conflict with the male-dominated legal community of her time, while her political ambitions were cut short by disputes with other women activists whose notions of political strategy she repudiated. In public, Orme was a formidable debater for the causes she supported and against opponents whose strategies—even for women’s suffrage—she repudiated. In private, she was generous, warm, and witty, close to friends, family, and her female partner. Howsam’s account of uncovering Orme’s professional and personal trajectory will appeal to academic and non-academic readers interested in the progress and setbacks women experienced in the late-Victorian and Edwardian decades

    Abstract: Rosa Schapire - emanzipierte Frau, leidenschaftliche Förderin expressionistischer Kunst, entwurzelt im Londoner Exil, aber Kämpferin bis zum Schluss. »Hätte ich im Mittelalter gelebt, ich wäre wohl eine Nonne oder Heilige geworden«, schrieb Rosa Schapire kurz vor ihrem Tod 1954. Um die Jahrhundertwende hatte sie sich gegen traditionelle Rollenbilder und für ein Leben als Intellektuelle entschieden. Als eine der ersten Frauen wurde sie im Fach Kunstgeschichte in Heidelberg promoviert, zog 1905 nach Hamburg und begeisterte sich dort für den gerade aufkommenden Expressionismus – besonders für die Künstlergruppe »Brücke« und Karl Schmidt-Rottluff, den sie später als Mäzenin unterstützte. Ihr Einsatz für die neue Kunstrichtung, die von den Nationalsozialisten als »entartet« verfemt wurde, machte sie – zumal als Jüdin – den Machthabern verdächtig. Der antisemitischen Verfolgung entging sie nur aufgrund ihrer Flucht nach London 1939. Während der Kriegsjahre baute sich Rosa Schapire dort eine neue, allerdings zeitlebens prekäre Existenz u. a. als Übersetzerin auf. Ihre Briefe aus den letzten Lebensjahren an Karl Schmidt-Rottluff, die hier erstmals umfänglich ausgewertet werden, zeigen eine exilierte Frau, die trotz Sorgen und Todessehnsucht, doch immer die Kraft fand, sich für die expressionistische Kunst einzusetzen

    Abstract: Advances in UAE Archaeology details the results of new excavations conducted across the United Arab Emirates over the last few years. These excavations have revealed a wealth of new data on all periods of UAE archaeology from the Palaeolithic to the recent past. Some of these discoveries have filled in important gaps in our knowledge, while others have fundamentally revised what we thought we knew already. For example, the Marawah Island excavations have added a new facet to our understanding of the Neolithic period by revealing intriguing and hitherto unknown funerary rituals. Excavations in Al Ain in the emirate of Abu Dhabi continue to reveal extraordinary evidence of emgt falaj emgirrigation, stretching back 3000 years. The ubiquity of this system across this oasis city further validates its status as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Of particular importance is the discovery of extensive remains from the Late Pre-Islamic period, a significant time in history that has been best revealed in the excavations at Mleiha in the emirate of Sharjah.The research presented here was conducted by specialists from across the world working alongside an ever-growing cadre of Emirati archaeologists who will take the lead in the coming years in revealing more of this country’s extraordinary archaeology and history

    Abstract: When describing the transition from Old Norse religion to Christianity in recent studies, the concept of "Christianization" is often applied. To a large extent this historiography focuses on the outcome of the encounter, namely the description of early Medieval Christianity and the new Christian society. The purpose of the present study is to concentrate more exclusively on the Old Norse religion during this period of change and to analyze the processes behind its disappearance on an official level of the society. More specifically this study concentrates on the role of Viking kings and indigenous agency in the winding up of the old religion. An actor-oriented perspective will thus be established, which focuses on the actions, methods and strategies applied by the early Christian Viking kings when dismantling the religious tradition that had previously formed their lives. In addition, the resistance that some pagan chieftains offered against these Christian kings is discussed as well as the question why they defended the old religious tradition. ; When describing the transition from Old Norse religion to Christianity in recent studies, the concept of "Christianization" is often applied.

    Abstract: The Search for Wellbeing and Health between the Middle Ages and the Early Modern Period compiles a series of works on cosmetics and health care, covering different geographical areas of Europe. The studies also focus on different cultures, with some chapters dedicated to the Hebrew sphere, others to the Muslim world, and a larger percentage dealing with Christian society. The contributions make use of some very important written sources: recipe books and treatises on medicine and cosmetics, especially those preserved from the Late Middle Ages (13th-15th centuries) onwards. These manuscripts reveal the raw materials used to make certain products, whose origin could be vegetable, animal or mineral. Many were used to combat various ailments, but also to take care of the body aesthetically. Thus, there are remedies to heal the eyes; to avoid problems with the teeth and to make them shine white; creams and soaps for the skin; hair dyes to avoid grey hair; lotions to combat baldness; and even diverse gastronomic recipes to obtain inner wellbeing. Other contributions take a more practical perspective. Studies are included in which some of the ingredients and products are explored through experimental archaeology (chemical analysis) and faunal remains obtained from archaeological campaigns are analysed in the laboratory, showing the Christian diet. Overall the book demonstrates the importance of healthcare and cosmetics in past societies that had very significant technical knowledge of a multitude of completely natural and sustainable products

    Series Statement: History and Philosophy of Technoscience
    Keywords: European history ; General & world history
    Abstract: In 2020, a group of European researchers got a European Union (EU) grant to do a project called TRANSFORM. The objective of TRANSFORM was to integrate the principle of responsible research and innovation (RRI) into the research and innovation policies of three European regions: Lombardy, Brussels, and Catalonia. This book tells the story of how TRANSFORM translated RRI into practice, all the way from philosophy of technology to EU policy jargon, to the project contract, and finally into the real-life events in these regions. Responsibility was translated in creative ways, with surprising goals and ambiguous outcomes. Armed with these stories, the book analyses the broader context of the desire for better governance of technoscience and draws two lessons: Firstly, that there is more governance than one may see at first sight, and secondly, that there is a need to rethink the borders of technoscience and the spaces in which it resides. The book proposes to think of governance in technoscience, rather than governance of technoscience

    Abstract: This chapter addresses the interpretations of the emerging social question in the field of post-revolutionary French liberalism. It focuses on the cholera outbreak of 1832 to describe how it fostered unprecedented and dramatic representations of urban pauperism chiefly marked by feelings of panic and distress with respect to the new “dangerous classes” brought into being by the Industrial Revolution. By analysing the pandemic crisis, the chapter shows that these subjects were initially perceived not merely as a different social class, but also – and especially – as a different “race,” according to a conception exemplified by the metaphor of “new barbarians” invading the manufacturing cities. Hence, the chapter retraces a transformation whereby these initial representations of the subaltern classes based on fear and exclusion gradually gave way to the rise of social research on the subaltern classes aimed at elaborating new welfare policies as risk reduction strategies. These initiatives of social investigation are described as marking the origins of the methods and epistemology of modern social sciences, which are the focus of the following chapter

    Abstract: This book traces the development of the Polish theory of history, analysing how Jerzy Topolski, Krzysztof Pomian, and Olga Tokarczuk have both built upon and transgressed the metahistorical theories of American historian Hayden White. Poland’s reception of White’s work has gone through different phases, from distancing to a period of fascination and eventual critical analysis, beginning with Topolski's methodological school in the 1980s. Topolski played a major role in international debates on historical theory in the second half of the 20th century. The book’s second study is a rare opportunity for English-speaking audiences to engage with the thoughts of Pomian, a philosopher and historian of ideas who has both complemented and developed theories of historical cognition independently from White. In the final chapter, the book presents a study of the historical imagination in 21st-century Central and Eastern Europe through the work of novelist Tokarczuk, the winner of the 2018Nobel Prize in Literature. In considering the contributions of these three thinkers, the book explores the active process by which past becomes history and thus motivates contemporary actions and realities. By deconstructing and reconstructing contemporary theories of history, this research is a unique contribution to the fields of historiography and the philosophy of history

    Keywords: European history ; Ethics and moral philosophy ; Philosophy of science ; Johan Huizinga, cultural history, interbellum, historical experiences, historical virtues
    Abstract: The lifetime of Johan Huizinga (1872–1945) was marked by dramatic transformations in Europe. Cityscapes, aesthetic codes, social orders, political cultures, international travel and means of warfare developed beyond recognition; entire catalogues of hopes and fears were torn asunder and replaced by new ones during not one but two wars. Amidst all these changes, Huizinga grew to become one of the most famous historians of his time. To this day, his works are treated as monuments in the cultural historical field. This book examines how these transformations and ‘experiences of loss’ affected and informed Huizinga’s historical perspectives. Most centrally, this book contends that Huizinga’s historical works helped to accommodate and give meaning to his own experiences of uncertainty and rupture, thus offering him a way of life in turbulent times. This project offers an original and comprehensive analysis of an iconic historian writing in the age of collapse

    Abstract: During the nineteenth century and into the early twentieth century, more Europeans visited the Middle East than ever before, as tourists, archaeologists, pilgrims, settler-colonists and soldiers. These visitors engaged with the Arabic language to differing degrees. While some were serious scholars of Classical Arabic, in the Orientalist mould, many did not learn the language at all. Between these two extremes lies a neglected group of language learners who wanted to learn enough everyday colloquial Arabic to get by. The needs of these learners were met by popular language books, which boasted that they could provide an easy route to fluency in a difficult language. Arabic Dialogues explores the motivations of Arabic learners and effectiveness of instructional materials, principally in Egypt and Palestine, by analysing a corpus of Arabic phrasebooks published in nine languages (English, French, German, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, Yiddish, Hebrew, Russian) and in the territory of twenty-five modern countries. Beginning with Napoleon’s Expédition d’Égypte (1798–1801), it moves through the periods of mass tourism and European colonialism in the Middle East, concluding with the Second World War. The book also considers how Arab intellectuals understood the project of teaching Arabic to foreigners, the remarkable history of Arabic-learning among Yiddish- and Hebrew-speaking immigrants in Palestine, and the networks of language learners, teachers and plagiarists who produced these phrasebooks

    Abstract: The burgeoning scholarship on Western health films stands in stark contrast to the vacuum in the historical conceptualization of Eastern European films. This book develops a nonlinear historical model that revises their unique role in the inception of national cinematography and establishing supranational health security. Readers witness the revelation of an unknown history concerning how the health films produced in Eastern European countries not only adopted Western patterns of propaganda but actively participated in its formation, especially with regard to those considered “others”: Women and the populations of the periphery. The authors elaborate on the long “echo” of the discursive practices introduced by health films within public health propaganda, as well as the attempts to negate and deconstruct such practices by rebellious filmmakers. A wide range of methods, including the analysis of the sociological biographies of filmmakers, the historical reconstruction of public campaigns against diseases and an investigation into the production of health films, contextualizes these films along a multifaceted continuum stretching between the adaptation of global patterns and the cultivation of national authenticities. The book is aimed at those who study the history of film, the history of public health, Central and Eastern European countries and global history

    Abstract: Die »alternative« als fortlaufender Versuch, mit den Mitteln einer Zeitschrift auf die Verhältnisse ihrer Zeit einzuwirken. In den Jahren um 1968 entwickelte sich aus einem kleinen literarischen Magazin eine der meistgelesenen Theoriezeitschriften der Bundesrepublik. Unter der Herausgeberin Hildegard Brenner wurde die »alternative« zu einem Forum intellektueller Entdeckungen und Wiederentdeckungen. Ideengeschichtliche Traditionen des westlichen Marxismus wurden hier ebenso diskutiert wie der französische Strukturalismus und die feministische Kritik der Psychoanalyse, literaturpolitische Auseinandersetzungen in Ost und West ebenso wie die politischen Bewegungen der Zeit. Einen Leitfaden der »alternative« bildete die fortlaufende Reflexion darüber, wie mit intellektuellen Mitteln gesellschaftliche Wirkung zu erzeugen sei - bis im linken Krisenjahrzehnt der 1970er Jahre vermehrt das Scheitern an diesem Anspruch zum Thema der Zeitschrift wurde. Moritz Neuffer rekonstruiert die Kollektivbiografie der Redakteurinnen, Autoren und Leserinnen und fragt, was das Publizieren in der »journalistischen Form« der Zeitschrift von anderen Formen des Denkens und Schreibens unterscheidet

    Abstract: How can immortality be a curse? According to the Wandering Jew legend, as Jesus made his way to Calvary, a man refused him rest, cruelly taunting him to hurry to meet his fate. In response, Jesus cursed the man to wander until the Second Coming. Since the medieval period, the legend has inspired hundreds of adaptations by artists and writers. Instrument of Memory: Encounters with the Wandering Jew, the first English-language study of the legend in over fifty years, is also the first to examine the influence of the legend’s medieval and early modern sources over the centuries into the present day. Using the lens of memory studies, the work shows how the Christian tradition of the legend centered the memory of the Passion at the heart of the Wandering Jew’s curse. Instrument of Memory also shows how Jewish artists and writers have reimagined the legend through Jewish memory traditions. Through this focus on memory, Jewish adapters of the legend create complex renderings of the Wandering Jew that recognize not only the entanglement of Jewish and Christian memory, but also the impact of that entanglement on Jewish subjects. This book presents a complex, sympathetic, and more fully realized version of the legend while challenging the limits of the presentism of memory studies

    Series Statement: Crusades - Subsidia
    Keywords: European history ; Medieval history ; Historiography ; Social & cultural history ; Military history ; language ; history ; crusades ; crusading ; medieval history
    Abstract: The word ‘crusade’ covers today a wide variety of meanings in most European languages. The link between these uses and the historical phenomenon labelled as ‘crusade’ by historians is often very narrow and particularly changing. Understanding the real meaning of the word ‘crusade’, its connotations and implications, and thus the conscious or unconscious intentions of its uses requires a precise knowledge of the historical evolutions of the word, from its first appearance in the 13th century until nowadays. This book offers the first comprehensive view of the historical construction of the meaning of the word ‘crusade’ through comparative perspectives from the Middle Ages to the 21st century. Its 11 articles, introduction and conclusion examine different uses of the word, in a single language or within a specific context, and analyse each of them as a different conceptualisation of the crusading phenomenon. The book explains the progressive widening of the meaning of the term, from a military expedition to Jerusalem to the most metaphorical uses. It demonstrates the differences between the connotations of the word in various languages and cultures and, thus, the variety of its possible uses. It insists on the reluctance and reticence that ‘crusade’ has always provoked since the Middle Ages, precisely because the conceptualisation it implied was not shared by all. The book will be of interest not only for crusade scholars and for diachronic linguists but also for anyone interested in understanding better modern discourses and references to the ‘crusade’ by politicians, activists, and journalists, through a precise inquiry on the historical developments of the word and the variety of its meanings

    Abstract: Grenzen strukturieren nicht nur die Ordnung von Landschaft und Herrschaft, sondern auch von Gesellschaft. Als soziale Konstrukte vereindeutigen sie Zustände, öffnen aber auch Räume für Aushandlungen und Überschreitungen. In der Moderne dienten praktische und metaphorische »Grenzgänge« dazu, Beziehungen, die Verhältnisse gesellschaftlicher Teilsysteme und die Reichweite von Normen zu klären. Die Beiträger*innen schauen auf die Denkfigur des »Grenzgangs«, die es ermöglicht, zentrale Fragen moderner Gesellschaften zusammenzudenken: Gewaltvolle Identitätskämpfe, der Umgang mit funktionaler Differenzierung und mit der Fragilität von Werten und Wissen offenbaren sich als Praktiken, mit denen Grenzen gezogen, überquert oder ausgehandelt wurden

    Abstract: This book addresses the question of vigilance in the face of an epidemic at the beginning of the 18th century, based on the example of the fight against the plague in the French Mediterranean. Because of its trans-Mediterranean trade, this region was particularly exposed to the risk of plague so that it sought to protect itself with concrete measures such as quarantine. ; Cet ouvrage s’intéresse au risque et à la vigilance face à la peste sur la côte méditerranéenne française dans la première moitié du 18e siècle. Entre 1720 et 1722, une terrible épidémie de peste frappe Marseille, la Provence, le Comtat-Venaissin et une partie du Languedoc, causant environ 100'000 décès. Aussi dramatique soit-elle, cette épidémie constitue une exception durant la première moitié du 18e siècle. La première partie de ce travail analyse les rapports entre vigilance, espace et communication et met en évidence une prévention qui s’exerce tant de manière transméditerranéenne que de manière interne au royaume de France. Une véritable «bureaucratie sanitaire» se met en place. La deuxième partie étudie les normes et les pratiques de la vigilance sanitaire, tant sur un plan politico-sanitaire (quarantaines des navires, des passagers et des marchandises) que sur un plan religieux (processions et prières pour endiguer la maladie). Enfin, la dernière partie se limite à la peste de 1720-1722 et illustre le passage d’une vigilance préventive à une vigilance réactive en s’intéressant aux «acteurs de la peste» et aux attitudes et tactiques développées face au fléau épidémique

    Abstract: This open access book focuses on institutions that were produced and formed by the emerging welfare state. How were institutions experienced by the people who interacted with them? How did institutions as sites of experience shape and structure people’s everyday lives? Histories of institutions have mainly focused on the structures and power relations produced by institutional settings. Likewise, despite an extensive historiography of the welfare state, reflections on individuals’ experiences of welfare are few. By using ‘lived institutions’ as its conceptual frame, this edited collection merges the fields of institutional studies, the history of the welfare state – and the novel and vibrant field of the history of experience

    Keywords: Democracy History ; Humanities ; General & world history ; European history ; Spain Politics and government 19th century ; Spain Politics and government 20th century ; Aufsatzsammlung ; Spanien ; Demokratie ; Geschichte
    Abstract: Focusing on the processes of political socialisation and democratisation that took place in Spain during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, this book brings together specialists who propose the need to rethink the contemporary history of democracy in Spain to build a new narrative. To do so, the authors go down to the local level, where they are able to trace a political culture that forged the foundations of a process of political ""modernization"" much more complex than what conventional historiography has conveyed, even though it was not always transferred institutionally to the national level. The idea of a rural Spain that was backward, apolitical, violent and unprepared for democracy gives way to a more interesting history which, while recognising the peculiarities of the country and the important limitations to democracy, shows examples that could help build a new narrative closer those of other neighbouring countries. Aimed at contemporary historians interested in Spain and Europe, the book also addresses the debates faced by other social scientists on the concept of democracy. This dialogue between history, sociology and political science is particularly present in a special final chapter featuring a discussion of democracy and its application to Spanish history

    Abstract: From premodern societies onward, humans have constructed and produced images of ideal masculinity to define the roles available for boys to grow into, and images for adult men to imitate. The figure of Alexander the Great has fascinated people both within and outside academia. As a historical character, military commander, cultural figure and representative of the male gender, Alexander’s popularity is beyond dispute. Almost from the moment of his death Alexander’s deeds have had a paradigmatic aspect: for over 2300 years he has been represented as a paragon of manhood - an example to be followed by other men - and through his myth people have negotiated assumptions about masculinity. This work breaks new ground by considering the ancient and medieval reception of Alexander the Great from a gender studies perspective. It explores the masculine ideals of the Greco-Roman and medieval past through the figure of Alexander the Great, analysing the gendered views of masculinities in those periods and relates them to the ways in which Alexander’s masculinity was presented. It does this by investigating Alexander’s appearance and its relation to definitions of masculinity, the way his childhood and adulthood are presented, his martial performance and skill, proper and improper sexual behaviour, and finally through his emotions and mental attributes. Masculine Ideals and Alexander the Great will appeal to students and scholars alike as well as to those more generally interested in the portrayal of masculinity and gender, particularly in relation to Alexander the Great and his image throughout history

    Series Statement: Routledge Studies in Countering Violent Extremism
    Keywords: Warfare & defence ; Terrorism, armed struggle ; International relations ; Middle Eastern history ; European history
    Abstract: This book examines the actors that shape societal dynamics leading to, or preventing, violent extremism from taking roots in their communities, including state representatives, religious institutions, and civil society actors. The volume contributes to an emerging stream of research focusing on intra- and inter-group dynamics to explain the emergence and persistence of, or resilience against, violent extremism. It utilises an actor-centric approach, uncovering the landscape of actors that play relevant roles in shaping societal dynamics leading to, or preventing, violent extremism affecting their communities. The analysis builds on new empirical evidence collected in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Kosovo, North Macedonia, Serbia, Iraq, Lebanon, and Tunisia. This allows for an innovative comparative perspective on two regions in the European neighbourhood that are rarely studied together, even though they seem to share common patterns of (de-)radicalisation and violent extremism despite their distinct historical, political, and cultural trajectories and relations with the EU. In both regions, the book analyses the roles of and interactions between state, political, religious, and civil society actors in shaping community vulnerability to and/or resilience against violent extremism. Different types of community leaders are equipped with varying levels of authority, trust, legitimacy, and influence over community members. As such, the categories of actors analysed can play either detrimental or beneficial roles, which makes vulnerability and resilience to violent extremism two sides of the same coin. This volume will be of much interest to students of countering violent extremism, terrorism, political violence, security studies, and International Relations generally

    Keywords: European history ; General & world history ; Social & cultural history
    Abstract: This book explores the various ways imperial rule constituted and shaped the cities of Eastern Europe until World War I in the Tsarist, Habsburg, and Ottoman empires. In these three empires, the cities served as hubs of imperial rule: their institutions and infrastructures enabled the diffusion of power within the empires while they also served as the stages where the empire was displayed in monumental architecture and public rituals. To this day, many cities possess a distinctively imperial legacy in the form of material remnants, groups of inhabitants, or memories that shape the perceptions of in- and outsiders. The contributions to this volume address in detail the imperial entanglements of a dozen cities from a long-term perspective reaching back to the eighteenth century. They analyze the imperial capitals as well as smaller cities in the periphery. All of them are ""imperial cities"" in the sense that they possess traces of imperial rule. By comparing the three empires of Eastern Europe this volume seeks to establish commonalities in this particular geography and highlight trans-imperial exchanges and entanglements. This volume is essential reading to students and scholars alike interested in imperial and colonial history, urban history, and European history

    Abstract: This is the first scholarly volume to offer an insight into the less known stories of women, children, and international volunteers in the Spanish Civil War. Special attention is given to volunteers of different historical experiences, especially Jews, and voices from less researched countries in the context of the Spanish war, such as Palestine and Turkey. Of an interdisciplinary nature, this volume brings together historians and literary scholars from different countries. Their research is based on newly found primary sources in both national and private archives, as well as on post-essentialist methodological insights for women’s history, Jewish history, and studies on belonging. By bringing together a group of emerging and senior scholars from different countries, we highlight the polyphony of voices of diverse individuals drawn into the Spanish Civil War. Contributors to this volume have explored new or little researched primary sources found in archives and documentary centers, including papers held by relatives of the people we study. The volume is aimed at both scholarly and non-scholarly public, including any readers interested in the Spanish Civil War, twentieth-century European history, Jewish studies, women’s history, or anti-Fascism. The volume can be used in both undergraduate college courses and in postgraduate university seminars

    Abstract: “Gefangen in Mauthausen” (Imprisoned in Mauthausen) is volume three of a ”major European project on the history of the survivors” (Carlo Moos). It deals with the everyday life of the concentration camp inmates and their attempts to make use of what opportunities for survival even the terror system offered. Their death or survival depended largely on what racist, national, political or occupational tags the SS had assigned to them and on the circumstances and the date of their arrival in the camp. The twenty-one papers in this volume present a new assessment of the inmates’ worlds of living and show how diverse the “prisoner society” was when seen through the microscope of oral history
    Abstract: "Gefangen in Mauthausen" ist Band 3 eines "europäischen Großprojekts zur Geschichte der Überlebenden" (Carlo Moos) und handelt vom Alltag der Häftlinge und ihren Versuchen, selbst im Terrorsystem sich bietende Überlebenschancen zu nutzen. Ihr Tod oder Überleben hing stark davon ab, in welche rassistischen, nationalen, politischen oder beruflichen Kategorien sie von der SS eingeordnet wurden und unter welchen Bedingungen und wann sie ins KZ gekommen waren. Die 21 Beiträge dieses Buches präsentieren eine Neueinschätzung der Lebenswelten der Häftlinge und zeigen, wie vielfältig die "Häftlingsgesellschaft" gewesen ist, wenn man die mikroskopische Sicht der Oral History einnimmt

    Abstract: Writing does not begin and end with the encoding of an idea into a group of symbols. It is practiced by people who have learnt its principles and acquired the tools and skills for doing it, in a particular context that affects what they do and how they do it. Nor are these practices static, as those involved exploit opportunities to adapt old features and develop new ones. The act of writing then has tangible and visible consequences not only for the writers but also for those encountering what has been produced, whether they can read its content or not – with potential for a wider social visibility that can in turn affect the success and longevity of the writing system itself. With a focus on the syllabic systems of the Bronze Age Aegean, this book attempts to bring together different perspectives to create an innovative interdisciplinary outlook on what is involved in writing: from structuralist views of writing as systems of signs with their linguistic values, to archaeological and anthropological approaches to writing as a socially grounded practice. The main chapters focus on the concepts of script adoption and adaptation; different methods of logographic writing; and the vitality of writing traditions, with repercussions for the modern world. Contexts of and Relations between Early Writing Systems (CREWS) is a project funded by the European Research Council under the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation program (grant agreement No. 677758), and based in the Faculty of Classics, University of Cambridge

    Abstract: Avaldsnes on Karmøy in Rogaland, which according to Snorre was King Harald Fairhair's royal estate, has been the center of a major research effort since 2007. Extensive excavations have, among other things, uncovered the remains of a lordly settlement from the AD 200s–400s and the ruins of a royal masonry complex from around AD 1300. Important insights have been gained about the place, the region, and the history of the Norwegian kingdom, and the results are also of significance for international scholarly debates. The papers in this book are based on lectures from the Karmøy Seminar 2022, and have a joint spotlight on the nature of lordship and kingship. The themes range from tribal societies in Roman times via the first kings of the Viking Age to the Norwegian kingdom's collapse at Håkon 6. Magnusson's death in 1380. Prominent professionals from Norway, Sweden and England discuss, among other things, the migrations of Ryger, Goths, and other tribes in the continent in the first centuries AD, the queens and queen mothers of the Viking Age, Harald Fairhair's overseas contacts, and the Norwegian kingship's roots in Nordvegen, the sailing route along the western coast of the Scandinavian Peninsula. The papers are written to be readable by scholars as well as the interested public
    Abstract: Avaldsnes på Karmøy i Rogaland, som ifølge Snorre var Harald Hårfagres kongsgård, har siden 2007 vært sentrum for en stor forskningsinnsats. Omfattende utgravninger har blant annet avdekket restene av en høvdinggård fra 200–400-tallet og ruinen av en kongsgård i stein fra omkring 1300. Viktige innsikter er vunnet om stedets, regionens, og det norske kongerikets historie, og resultatene har stor betydning også for internasjonale forskningsspørsmål. Artiklene i denne boken baserer seg på foredrag fra Karmøyseminaret 2022, og har et felles søkelys på høvding- og kongemaktens vesen. Temaene spenner fra romertidens stammesamfunn via vikingtidens første rikskonger til det norske kongedømmets fall ved Håkon 6. Magnussons død i 1380. Fremstående fagfolk fra Norge, Sverige og England diskuterer blant annet rygers, goteres, og andre stammers vandringer på kontinentet i de første århundrer e.Kr., vikingtidens dronninger og kongsmødre, Harald Hårfagres oversjøiske kontakter og det norske kongedømmets utgangspunkt i Nordvegen, seilingsleden langs kysten fra Rogaland til Hålogaland. Artiklene er skrevet for å kunne leses av både leg og lærd. Dagfinn Skre (f. 1954) er professor i arkeologi ved Kulturhistorisk museum, Universitetet i Oslo, og leder Kongsgårdprosjektet Avaldsnes. Han har tidligere blant annet ledet utgravninger av vikingbyen Kaupang i Vestfold. Frans-Arne Stylegar (f. 1969) er arkeolog, tidligere fylkeskonservator i Vest-Agder og direktør for Varanger museum IKS, og arbeider nå som kulturminneekspert i Multiconsult

    Abstract: Bamberg verfügte seit dem Spätmittelalter über ein differenziertes Gesundheitswesen mit Spitälern, Siechenhäusern, Apotheken und Badstuben; seit dem frühen 16. Jahrhundert stellten die Bischöfe zudem Hof- und Leibärzte an. Anders als in protestantischen Städten wie Nürnberg kam es im katholischen Bamberg jedoch nicht zur Zentralisierung und Kommunalisierung der Gesundheitsfürsorge, so dass diese von einer Vielzahl von Akteuren gestaltet wurde. Charakteristisch für das 16. und 17. Jahrhundert war das Verständnis von Epidemien als Strafen Gottes für die Sünden der Menschen, das nicht nur von Herrschern und Klerus, sondern auch von studierten Ärzten geteilt wurde. Gleichwohl sahen Regierung und Ärzteschaft die Untertanen in der Pflicht, sich bestmöglich gegen Epidemien zu schützen, und empfahlen zu diesem Zweck Maßnahmen zur Verbesserung von Hygiene und Luftqualität sowie zur Isolation und Behandlung von Infizierten. Da nicht alle Untertanen Zugang zu Ärzten hatten und die vormoderne Medizin vielen Krankheiten machtlos gegenüberstand, entwickelte sich in Bamberg wie in anderen Städten überdies ein medizinischer Marktplatz, auf dem auch reisende Heiler sowie der örtliche Scharfrichter ihre Dienste anboten. Auf eine neue Grundlage gestellt wurde das Bamberger Medizinalwesen durch die Gründung des Allgemeinen Krankenhauses im Jahre 1789, das sich der Behandlung heilbarer Krankheiten widmete. Obwohl nach 1800 auch eine medizinisch-chirurgische Schule und eine der ersten Nervenheilanstalten Deutschlands entstanden, blieb das Gesundheitswesen bis weit ins 19. Jahrhundert hinein von vormodernen Strukturen und Vorstellungen geprägt. Diese Entwicklungen werden in einer Ausstellung in der Staatsbibliothek Bamberg, die in einem studentischen Seminar konzipiert wurde, sowie in diesem Begleitband anhand von rund 40 Exponaten nachvollzogen

    Abstract: "Au carrefour de l'histoire et de la sociologie des migrations, il s'agit ici de comprendre les 'carrières migratoires' des Kurdes, de leur départ de Turquie à leur arrivée en France et en Belgique. Ces hommes et ces femmes ont emprunté des routes migratoires et intégré des réseaux variés afin de traverser des frontières terrestres, maritimes, aériennes mais également administratives et linguistiques. Leurs circulations migratoires se sont formées à partir de filières régionales qui se sont stabilisées dans les territoires d'accueil grâce à des solidarités multiples révélant des interactions entre les Kurdes et ceux qui les entourent. Ces recompositions territoriales entre les différentes générations de Kurdes ont favorisé la création d'associations qui maintiennent des repères collectifs en situation d'exil et rendent visible le conflit turco-kurde. À partir de sources écrites inédites, d'enquêtes de terrain et de témoignages de Kurdes, cette recherche analyse les parcours administratifs de l'asile, des mariages, des regroupements familiaux, des naturalisations et des invitations à quitter le territoire en France et en Belgique. Ces parcours ont soulevé des questions sur l'évolution du statut juridique, des identités et des subjectivités entre celui ou celle qui 'peut devenir un ou une réfugiée', qui 'peut se marier', qui 'peut être naturalisé'. Les Kurdes ont été identifiés différemment selon les catégories construites par les États d'accueil. Ces catégories qui ne sont jamais stables ni très claires et où chaque document apporté (chaque histoire révélée) est sujet à suspicion et à vérification."--Page 4 of cover

    Abstract: Dresser pour le xxe siècle un bilan de l’Église catholique en France sur le plan de la morale sexuelle, tel est le projet de cet ouvrage. Le xxe siècle se décompose en trois moments évidents : le triomphe de la morale sexuelle traditionnelle dans la première moitié du siècle, avec une valorisation démesurée de la chasteté et de la fécondité du mariage. Le deuxième moment entre 1950 et 1978 est une longue période de crise de la doctrine traditionnelle que Paul VI tenta en vain d’étouffer. Mais le célibat sacerdotal et la condamnation de l’avortement et de l’homosexualité sont remis en cause. Cette dernière question qui n’émerge que tardivement sera abordée grâce au témoignage exceptionnel d’un prêtre homosexuel et pédophile. La tentative de Jean-Paul II de restaurer la morale sexuelle traditionnelle constitue une troisième phase. Comme chacun le sait, le pape n’a pas ramené les fidèles catholiques au respect des enseignements d’une éthique considérée par eux comme archaïque. Entre la doctrine intransigeante du magistère et des laïcs de plus en plus insoumis, les théologiens ont tenu une position stratégique : ont-ils contribué à renforcer et légitimer l’autorité du pape polonais ou préparé des accommodements tels que le pape François les propose aujourd’hui, voire des changements plus radicaux de la doctrine morale catholique ? Pour l’avenir du catholicisme, dans le monde développé du moins, la question sexuelle tient une place critique. L’Église est-elle capable d’abandonner ses « lois » de morale sexuelle ?

    Abstract: Als Produzent für Regenmäntel wurde die Firma Rappolt & Söhne, die seit 1928 den Markennamen ERES trug, bekannt. Drei Generationen prägten die Unternehmensgeschichte. Der Name durfte bleiben, die Familie nicht. Das Hamburger Unternehmen Oppenheim & Rappolt wurde 1862 gegründet, firmierte seit 1897 unter dem Namen Rappolt & Söhne und existierte bis 1982 unter dem Markennahmen ERES. Gründer Joseph Rappolt (1835-1907) und danach seine Söhne Paul, Arthur und Franz leiteten die Geschicke der Firma, deren Sitz sich seit 1912 in der Mönckebergstraße 11 befand. Bis zum Ersten Weltkrieg waren Regenmäntel das Hauptgeschäft, später ergänzten leichte und schwerere Stoffmäntel für Damen und Herren das Sortiment. 1938 mussten die Rappolts ihre Firma verkaufen, als Juden drohte ihnen die Deportation. Die meisten jüngeren Familienmitglieder konnten unter großen Schwierigkeiten aus Deutschland fliehen, die älteren wollten sich nicht zur rechtzeitigen Emigration entscheiden; einige von ihnen wählten den Freitod, andere wurden ermordet. Franz Rappolt (1870-1943) – der sich als angesehener Bürger ehrenamtlich in Vereinen und im Plenum der Hamburger Handelskammer engagierte, diese Tätigkeit jedoch 1933 unfreiwillig aufgeben musste – starb wie seine Schwägerin Johanna (1870-1942) in Theresienstadt, sein Bruder Paul (1863-1940) starb noch vor der Deportation. Das Rappolt-Haus in der Mönckebergstraße 11 und 13 prägt bis heute das Bild von Hamburgs bekanntester Einkaufsmeile. Das imposante Gebäude wurde im Auftrag der Firma Rappolt & Söhne errichtet. Nach 1933 mussten die beiden Firmeninhaber Franz und Paul Rappolt mit ihren Familien erleben, wie die Nationalsozialisten ihre erfolgreiche Arbeit torpedierten, sich Schritt für Schritt ihres Eigentums bemächtigten und sie zuletzt mit dem Tod bedrohten

    Abstract: How did nobility try to live up to its exalted social position? With this volume, the Institut für niederrheinische Kulturgeschichte und Regionalentwicklung (InKuR) at the University of Duisburg-Essen, in cooperation with Gerd Dethlefs, has focused on the culture of nobility in the Lower Rhine-Westphalian region. The focus lies on the methods of conflict resolution within this social class in the Middle Ages and early modern period, from duels to court proceedings. Furthermore, an exhibition at the Ruhr Museum on the nobility in the Ruhr region, which was on display in the city of Essen in 2021/22, is presented. Other contributions are dealing with the Christian missionization of the Lower Rhine region and the siege of the city of Moers by Royal Spanish troops during the Eighty Years' War. A fundamental account of the relationship between the Dutch and German languages rounds off the volume

    Abstract: The essays in Private Libraries and their Documentation revolve around the users and contents of early modern private book collections, and around the sources used to document and study these collections. They take the reader from large-scale projects on historical book ownership to micro-level research conducted on individual libraries, and from analyses of specific types of primary sources to general typologies and overviews by period and by region. As a result of its comparative approach and active engagement with questions regarding the nature, selection and accessibility of sources, the volume serves as a guide to sources and resources in different regions as well as to state-of the-art methods and interpretational approaches

    Abstract: Natura is a polysemic Latin word that has accompanied the historical development of the West for centuries, spreading around much of the globe with colonialism and imperialism. It has been adopted in numerous languages. Our relationship with nature has become a highly charged issue at least since the "ecological turn" around 1970. It is as much about the relationship of humans to the environment as it is about the relationship of humans to each other. In the course of these debates, research has intensified in various disciplines: history, anthropology, philosophy, literature, ecology, etc. The nine contributions gathered in this volume deal with the dimension of perception and its long-term development from the Middle Ages to the present time. They trace in detail how images of nature were adopted, modified, and transmitted for specific purposes in specific situations. The introduction to the volume provides an overview and brings the contributions together

    Abstract: Religion as a form of cultural expression constitutes a critical element in the relationship between Germany and India. The discovery of Indian traditions in Germany and re-interpretations of those traditions in India fueled not only new theological and philosophical explorations, but also extensive innovations in the fields of music, dance, bodily experience, and political intervention. Seeking to uncover the enfolding of colonial thought structures through presentations of the Self, while placing them in the context of global colonial value chains that connected the peripheries with the centre, this interdisciplinary volume addresses India through the lens of an entangled relationship. Adopting the position that the acceleration of communication, technical development, and colonisation locally triggered re-interpretations of the religious sphere, This volume takes a look at the period from 1800 to the end of National Socialism, tracing the strands of an Indo-Germanic religion in the making as it goes along. A special emphasis is placed on the artistic expressions of religious experience including re-enactments of musical compositions and dance configurations, which were created to embody India in Germany. This is an open access book

    Abstract: This book is about postcolonial memory in the Netherlands. This term refers to conflicts in contemporary society about how the colonial past should be remembered. The question is often: who has the right or ability to tell their stories and who do not? In other words: who has a voice, and who is silenced? As such, these conflicts represent a wider tendency in cultural theory and activism to use voice as a metaphor for empowerment and silence as voice's negative counterpart, signifying powerlessness. And yet, there are voices that do not liberate us from, but rather subject us to power. Meanwhile, silence can be powerful: it can protect, disrupt and reconfigure. Throughout this book, it will become clear how voice and silence function not as each other's opposites, but as each other's continuation, and that postcolonial memory is articulated through the interplay of meaningful voices and meaningful silences

    Keywords: European history ; Film theory & criticism ; Media studies ; Deutschland ; Österreich ; Filmgesellschaft ; Geschichte 1910-1933
    Abstract: This study traces the evolution of early film societies in Germany and Austria, from the emergence of mass movie theaters in the 1910s to the turbulent years of the late Weimar Republic. Examining a diverse array of groups, it approaches film societies as formations designed to assimilate and influence a new medium: a project emerging from the world of amateur science before taking new directions into industry, art and politics. Through an interdisciplinary approach—in dialogue with social history, print history and media archaeology—it also transforms our theoretical understanding of what a film society was and how it operated. Far from representing a mere collection of pre-formed cinephiles, film societies were, according to the book’s central argument, productive social formations, which taught people how to nurture their passion for the movies, how to engage with cinema, and how to interact with each other. Ultimately, the study argues that examining film societies can help to reveal the diffuse agency by which generative ideas of cinema take shape

    Keywords: European history ; History of the Americas ; General & world history ; Political science & theory ; History
    Abstract: This open access book explores the role of continuity in political processes and practices during the Age of Revolutions. It argues that the changes that took place in the years around 1800 were enabled by different types of continuities across Europe and in the Americas. With historians of modernity tending to emphasise the rise of the new, scholarship has leaned towards an assumption that existing modes of action, thought and practice simply became extinct, irrelevant or at least subordinate to new modes. In contrast, this collection examines continuities between early modern and modern political cultures and organization in Europe and the Americas. Shifting the focus from political modernization, the authors examine the continued relevance of older, often local, practices in (post)revolutionary politics. By doing so, they aim to highlight the role of local political traditions and practices in forging and enabling political change. The book argues that while political change was in fact at the centre of both the old and new polities that emerged in the Age of Revolutions, it coexisted with, and was indeed enabled by, continuities at other levels

    Series Statement: Routledge Research in Design History
    Keywords: Industrial / commercial art & design ; European history
    Abstract: Covering the 1960s and 1970s, this volume explores new ways of investigating, comparing and interpreting the different domains of design culture across the Nordic countries. Challenging the traditional narrative, this volume argues that the roots of the most prominent features of Nordic design's contemporary significance are not to be found amongst the objects for the home collectively branded as 'Scandinavian Design' to great acclaim in the 1950s, but in the discourses, institutions and practices formed in the aftermath of that oft-told success story, during the turbulent period between 1960 and 1980. This is achieved by employing multidisciplinary approaches to connect the domains of industrial production, marketing, consumption, public institutions, design educations, trade journals as well as public debates and civic initiatives forming a design culture. This book makes a significant contribution to current, international agendas of historiographical critique focusing on transnational relations and the deconstruction of national design histories. This book will be of interest to scholars in design, design history and Scandinavian studies

    Abstract: La relation de François Mitterrand au territoire revêt de multiples dimensions : politique, bien sûr, puisqu’il y trouve son enracinement et la construction d’un pouvoir, mais aussi sociale, culturelle voire esthétique en raison de son attachement bien connu aux sites et pays. Examiner son parcours au prisme de l’ancrage territorial, c’est donc tenir compte aussi bien des préoccupations et de la sensibilité du personnage, que de ses fonctions à tous les niveaux de la vie politique. Sa géographie personnelle se dévoile ainsi dans toute sa complexité : l’homme n’est pas réductible à un seul territoire, c’est l’une de ses originalités. Cette approche ouvre plusieurs pistes de réflexion qui viennent structurer cet ouvrage collectif : le rapport entre ses ancrages locaux et ses ambitions nationales, la place des territoires dans les représentations et mises en scènes du pouvoir mitterrandien, enfin la politique territoriale de François Mitterrand, de sa conception à la définition d’une politique publique, dont il s’agit d’envisager les spécificités

    Abstract: Bringing together specialists in ancient history, archaeology and Roman law, this book provides new perspectives on long-distance trade in the Roman world. Recent archaeological work has shown that maritime trade across the Mediterranean intensified greatly at the same time as the Roman state was extending its power overseas. This book explores aspects of this development and its relationship with changes in the legal and institutional apparatus that supported maritime commerce. It analyses the socio-legal framework within which maritime trade was conducted, and in doing so presents a new understanding of the role played by legal and social institutions in the economy of the Roman world

    Abstract: Premier ouvrage abordant les violences faites aux femmes dans le 9e art, À coups de cases et de bulles est à même de montrer la façon dont la bande dessinée franco-belge, les comics mais aussi les mangas traitent les agressions et les crimes de sang. La bande dessinée qui ne cesse d’ouvrir de nouveaux chantiers et de revisiter des domaines déjà balisés, soit en les renouvelant, soit en les inscrivant dans une tradition, continue d’investir l’imaginaire des sociétés contemporaines. Quotidiens, hebdomadaires, trimestriels font désormais une place de plus en plus importante aux cases et aux bulles, mais si les femmes de papier ont été parfois mises à l’honneur ou étudiées, c’est rarement le cas des brutalités, des insultes et des viols qu’elles subissent. Et pourtant, les récits graphiques regorgent de femmes victimes de violences les plus diverses : mariages forcés, humiliations, agressions physiques, viols. Des bandes dessinées relèvent du témoignage et de la littérature du réel, d’autres appartiennent au registre de l’imaginaire, mais toutes traitent d’un fléau universel, parfois en une seule case, d’autres fois en plusieurs planches. La visée du présent ouvrage est d’inverser les perspectives communes, de montrer que les femmes ne sont pas enfermées dans la catégorie des femmes aguicheuses, ni dans celle des faire-valoir, ni non plus dans celles des seules victimes. En effet, même humiliées, brutalisées, martyrisées, elles conservent leur dignité ou leur fierté

    Abstract: This open access book brings together an eclectic cast of scholars in related disciplines to examine ageing in the Soviet Union, covering the practice of geriatrics, the science of gerontology, and the experience of growing old. Chapters in the book focus on concepts and themes that analyse Soviet ageing in its medical, political and social contexts, both in the Soviet Union and internationally. Ageing was hardly a uniquely Soviet phenomenon: over the past fifty years, moreover, governments and societies have been dealing with steady increases in their ageing populations. Almost paradoxically, however, societal focus on this ageing population, its lives, and its social impact remains extremely limited. Compared to most sciences, gerontology is pitifully underfunded; geriatrics is amongst the least prestigious branches of medicine; and while the world’s population is growing undeniably older, great disagreement remains over what can and should be done in response. These were the same challenges that the USSR faced in the post-war decades (1945-1991), and the contributions included in this volume help to flesh out and contextualize the example of Soviet gerontology and geriatrics as one possible model of response. Geriatrics and Ageing in the Soviet Union captures the growing interest in this important subject, demonstrating the influence of ageing on Soviet science and society and the impact of Soviet gerontology and geriatrics at a global level.

    Keywords: Humanities ; History of the Americas ; European history ; Aufsatzsammlung ; Bibliografie ; Piso, Willem 1611-1678 Historia naturalis Brasiliae ; Rezeption ; Wissenschaft ; Geschichte
    Abstract: This volume presents the first extensive census of the surviving copies of the treatise Historia Naturalis Brasiliae in libraries worldwide and examines the book from a variety of interdisciplinary viewpoints. The chapters in this volume are written by scholars from different fields of knowledge, including anthropology, botany, linguistics, literature, book history, medieval and early modern history, and art history. The chapters contextualize the treatise vis-à-vis its predecessors and contemporaneous works of natural history and examine its botanical, zoological, and linguistic accuracy and usefulness in the present day. Put together, the seven chapters of this volume present a kaleidoscope of possibilities of how to re-interpret Piso and Marcgraf’s work within the dynamic context of knowledge-production about the ‘New’ World in the early modern era, while also suggesting approaches to continue profiting from its subject matter in the present day. Toward an Intercultural Natural History of Brazil offers essential reading on the Historia Naturalis Brasiliae, natural history and Latin American history

    Keywords: European history ; British & Irish history ; History of medicine ; History of science ; Social & cultural history
    Abstract: This open access book demonstrates that, while occupation has been used to treat the mentally disordered since the early nineteenth century, approaches to its use have varied across different countries and in different time periods. Comparing how occupation was used in French and English mental institutions between 1918 and 1939, one hundred years after the heyday of moral therapy, the book is an essential read for those researching the history of mental health and medicine more generally. It provides an overview of the legislation, management structures and financial conditions that affected mental institutions in France and England, and contributed to their differing responses to the new theories of occupational therapy emerging from the USA and Germany during the interwar period

    Keywords: Humanities ; General & world history ; European history
    Abstract: This book delves into the conceptual changes produced by the Spanish constitutional debate held between 27 August and 9 December 1931. Taking place at the beginning of Spain’s Second Republic, those parliamentary deliberations brought about significant novelties in the political vocabulary. Concepts such as democracy, sovereignty, reform, revolution, and freedom, among others, were re-signified. This study investigates the conceptual contributions made by Spanish MPs in the course of the constitutional debate of 1931 by assuming, as a research approach, an interdisciplinary stance combining conceptual history, political theory, and parliamentary constitutional history. By doing so, it selects five determining issues: the pervasive discussion about two competing meanings of a democratic state; the rhetorical uses of reform and revolution; conceptual controversies about religious freedom; the disputed idea of property rights; and the functions of parliament and the president of the republic in a semi-presidential regime. The constitutional debate was largely inspired by interwar European constitutionalism which constituent representatives used to update the Spanish constitutional tradition. With that goal in mind, this book is aimed at undergraduate and graduate students and scholars working in the fields of conceptual history, political philosophy, parliamentary history, European political history, and European constitutionalism

    Abstract: Globalizing the Soybean asks how the soybean conquered the West and analyzes why and how the crop gained entry into agriculture and industry in regions beyond Asia in the first half of the twentieth century.  Historian Ines Prodöhl describes the soybean’s journey centered on three hubs: Northeast China, as the crop’s main growing area up to the Second World War; Germany, to where most of the beans in the interwar period were shipped; and the United States, which became the leading cultivator of soy worldwide during the 1940s. This book explores the German and U.S. adoption of the soybean being closely tied to global economic and political changes, such as the two world wars and the Great Depression. The attraction of the soybean to stakeholders on both sides of the Atlantic was linked to a need for cheap alternatives to butter and lard and a desire for greater quantities of meat, which led to the soybean becoming a cheap resource for fat and fodder. Only occasionally was it also used as food. This volume is useful for anyone who is studying or interested in economic history and commodity trading in the twentieth century. It is also connected to the histories of capitalism, globalization, imperialism, and materiality

    Abstract: Black communities have been making major contributions to Europe's social and cultural life and landscapes for centuries. However, their achievements largely remain unrecognized by the dominant societies, as their perspectives are excluded from traditional modes of marking public memory. For the first time in European history, leading Black scholars and activists examine this issue - with first-hand knowledge of the eight European capitals in which they live. Highlighting existing monuments, memorials, and urban markers they discuss collective narratives, outline community action, and introduce people and places relevant to Black European history, which continues to be obscured today

    Abstract: The study of medieval and early modern geographic space, literary cartography, and spatial thinking at a time of rapid digitization in the Humanities offers new ways to investigate spatial knowledge and world perceptions in pre-modern societies. Digitization of cultural heritage collections, open source databases, and interactive resources utilizing a rich variety of source materials—place names, early modern cadastral maps, medieval literature and art, Viking Age and medieval runic inscriptions—provides opportunities to re-think traditional lines of research on spatiality and worldviews, encourage innovation in methodology, and engage critically with digital outcomes. In this book, Nordic scholars of philology, onomastics, history, geography, literary studies, and digital humanities examine multiple aspects of ten large- and small-scale digital spatial infrastructures from the early stages of development to the practical applications of digital tools for studying spatial thinking and knowledge in pre-modern sources and societies

    Abstract: This book brings together an exciting new archive of queer and trans voices from the history of sexual sciences in the German-speaking world. A new language to express possibilities of gender and sexuality emerged at the turn of the twentieth century, from Sigmund Freud’s theories of homosexuality in Vienna to Magnus Hirschfeld’s “third sex” in Berlin. Together, they provided a language of sex and sexuality that is still recognizable today. Queer Livability: German Sexual Sciences and Life Writing shows that individual voices of trans and queer writers had a significant impact on the production of knowledge about gender and sexuality during this time and introduces lesser known texts to a new readership. It shows the remarkable power of queer life writing in imagining and creating the possibilities of a livable life in the face of restrictive legal, medical, and social frameworks. Queer Livability: German Sexual Sciences and Life Writing will be of interest to anyone who wants to learn more about LGBTQ+ history and literature. It also provides a fascinating insight into the historical roots for our thinking about gender and sexuality today. The book will be of relevance to an academic readership of students and faculty in German studies, literary studies, European history, and the interdisciplinary fields of gender and sexuality studies, medical humanities, and the history of sexuality

    Abstract: De 1789 à la guerre de 14, la figure maternelle, sous la forme d’allégories ou de métaphores, est centrale dans les discours politiques. La représentation de la mère – Patrie, Vierge, Nation – participe à la construction de récits nationaux souvent concurrents, de Robespierre à Auguste Comte, de Napoléon à Jules Ferry. Le recours à ces images maternelles légitime les valeurs qui irriguent les institutions et a des conséquences évidentes sur le lien social. L’ampleur des sources et la qualité des analyses font ressortir des perspectives interdisciplinaires inédites, la psychanalyse constituant le « cadre fantôme » de cette recherche. C’est à une relecture novatrice des univers mentaux d’un long XIXe siècle que cet ouvrage nous convie

    Abstract: Il existe au moins trois bonnes raisons d’étudier la sociabilité associative rurale en Mayenne entre les années 1830 et les années 1930. Premièrement, la sociabilité est un concept qui, après avoir connu un grand succès en sciences sociales il y a une quarantaine d’années puis avoir été considéré comme passé de mode, mérite qu’on y revienne dans une approche culturelle et sociale. Deuxièmement, le monde associatif dans les campagnes françaises au xixe siècle et au début du xxe siècle est un sujet encore trop peu étudié et auquel il reste à accorder toute la place qui lui revient dans les mutations de l’époque contemporaine, au même titre que l’école. Troisièmement, la France de l’Ouest est un espace injustement disqualifié par l’historiographie pour ce qui relève de la vie sociale. Des sociétés littéraires aux clubs sportifs, en passant par les cercles, les sociétés de cure, les corps de sapeurs-pompiers, les sociétés musicales, les patronages catholiques, les associations conscriptives, les amicales d’anciennes et d’anciens élèves et celles d’anciens combattants, il est alors possible de saisir comment, à l’époque contemporaine, une culture formalisée, incarnée par la sociabilité associative, émerge face à une culture coutumière, moins « civilisée », celle des veillées et des assemblées villageoises. Ce qui se joue là n’est pas tant affaire de remplacement que d’acculturation

    Abstract: Longtemps considérée en Europe comme la forme naturelle de gouvernement, la royauté a su évoluer dans la durée, comme le montrent les études réunies dans ce livre. Le roi n’exerçait un pouvoir légitime qu’après des rites de passage. Le sacre tirait sa force de ses racines bibliques (soulignant l’élection divine) et d’une conception eschatologique appelant le roi à conduire son peuple vers un royaume qui n’est pas de ce monde. Il a été longtemps une cérémonie mystique, dans le chœur clos d’une cathédrale, avant d’être « médiatisé » et de se prêter à la mise en scène fastueuse et festive. Si l’élection du roi n’a jamais totalement disparu, la succession héréditaire s’est imposée, et la reine a été associée très tôt aux rites de l’onction et du couronnement. L’idée selon laquelle le roi tenait de ses sujets l’autorité qu’il avait sur eux, et non plus de Dieu, a été le grand retournement de la Révolution. Les monarchies constitutionnelles du xixe siècle ont ainsi adopté des rites de substitution : serment devant les chambres représentatives, discours du trône. L’ouvrage fait ainsi l’histoire d’une monarchie sans cesse réinventée

    Abstract: Dès janvier 1957, après la crise de Suez, Macmillan donne toute priorité à la refondation de la « relation spéciale » anglo-américaine. À l’inverse, en juin 1958, de Gaulle revient au pouvoir avec l’ambition de pratiquer une politique étrangère fondée sur l’indépendance vis-à-vis des États-Unis. La volonté gaullienne de faire émerger une autonomie européenne entre ainsi en opposition avec la politique britannique, visant à maximiser son influence au sein de l’Alliance atlantique. Le heurt entre ces deux orientations, d’abord latent, débouche sur un schisme politico-stratégique entre Paris et Londres que de Gaulle choisit de proclamer publiquement le 14 janvier 1963 : il exprime alors son refus de l’entrée de la Grande-Bretagne dans la Communauté européenne et de l’offre anglo-américaine de partenariat nucléaire. Quel rôle la relation franco-britannique a-t-elle joué à une époque cruciale pour la constitution de l’architecture de sécurité euro-atlantique, dans un monde dominé par la guerre froide ? En croisant les perspectives européenne, transatlantique et Est-Ouest, cette étude permet de mieux comprendre certaines tendances, inscrites dans la longue durée, de la politique étrangère de la France et de la Grande-Bretagne, ces deux pays représentant depuis lors des positions extrêmes dans le débat opposant atlantistes et partisans de l’« Europe européenne ». Cette enquête apparaît aujourd’hui d’autant plus nécessaire dans un monde bouleversé par le Brexit, les incertitudes américaines et le retour de la guerre en Europe

    Abstract: « Le roi en son duché ». En faisant référence, par analogie, à la célèbre formule du xiiie siècle selon laquelle « le roi de France est empereur en son royaume », ce livre veut identifier les éléments de la présence royale en Bretagne durant la seconde partie de ce que l’historiographie appelle « l’âge d’or capétien ». Alors que le processus de construction de l’État royal est patiemment mis en œuvre par les souverains capétiens, le cas de la Bretagne constitue un formidable laboratoire où il est possible d’apprécier l’intégration du duché et de son aristocratie au sein du royaume de France. Les mécanismes identifiés par l’historiographie récente (dans les domaines judiciaire, juridictionnel, fiscal, monétaire et militaire) y trouvent une traduction territoriale, notamment par le biais de l’approche cartographique fondée sur l’exploitation de sources souvent inédites. La démarche de l’ouvrage passe par l’analyse du jeu des acteurs : les nobles et les ecclésiastiques, bretons et non bretons ; le duc de Bretagne ; le roi de France et ses officiers. Sur le plan territorial, la pesée de cette intégration au royaume permet d’établir une tripartition du duché éloignée des regards traditionnels qui opposent haute et basse Bretagne : un nord où les marqueurs de la présence du pouvoir royal sont particulièrement visibles ; une partie orientale qui profite de liens étroits noués avec d’importants lignages normands, angevins et poitevins ; enfin, un sud, cœur du domaine ducal plus éloigné du pouvoir royal

    Abstract: À Chypre, indépendante depuis 1960, l’agressivité des mouvements nationalistes importés de Turquie et de Grèce a abouti à des affrontements interethniques, à la séparation des communautés grecque et turque, autrement dit orthodoxe et musulmane, et enfin à une tentative de coup d’État pro-grec suivie d’une intervention armée turque qui a accompli le partage (taksim) de l’île en 1974. À l’époque, environ un tiers des Chypriotes ont subi un ou plusieurs exodes forcés et le tissu social de l’île a été détruit. De 1995 à 2004, les auteurs de cet ouvrage ont écouté la population, surtout du côté turc, jusqu’alors négligée par la recherche. Les témoignages recueillis, parmi des « gens de peu », disent le malheur de la déchirure comme les craintes et les espérances de ceux qui tentent de reconstruire une mémoire commune. Cette étude illustre les dégâts du nationalisme, plaqué sur la religion et souvent artificiellement inculqué dans l’esprit de populations qui vivaient ensemble, parfois difficilement, mais sans se faire la guerre. À son échelle, le cas chypriote n’est guère différent du désastre yougoslave, vingt ans plus tard : le danger n’est pas dans l’Autre, mais dans les nationalismes qui jouent avec le feu

    Abstract: How music embodies and contributes to historical and contemporary nationalism What does music in Portugal and Spain reveal about the relationship between national and regional identity building? How do various actors use music to advance nationalism? How have state and international heritage regimes contributed to nationalist and regionalist projects? In this collection, contributors explore these and other essential questions from a range of interdisciplinary vantage points. The essays pay particular attention to the role played by the state in deciding what music represents Portuguese or Spanish identity. Case studies examine many aspects of the issue, including local recording networks, so-called national style in popular music, and music’s role in both political protest and heritage regimes. Topics include the ways the Salazar and Franco regimes adapted music to align with their ideological agendas; the twenty-first-century impact of UNESCO’s Intangible Cultural Heritage program on some of Portugal and Spain's expressive practices; and the tensions that arise between institutions and community in creating and recreating meanings and identity around music.

    Abstract: Mittelalterliche Lyrik ist eine Liedkunst. In jedem einzelnen Lied vereinen sich lyrische, musikalische und performative Komponenten. In der heutigen populären Mittelalterrezeption wird mittelalterliche Lyrik hauptsächlich musikalisch aufgenommen. So hat sich um die sogenannte Histotainmentmusik ein Gesellschaftskreis gebildet, der den Gegenstand der mittelalterlichen Liedkunst neu verhandelt. Der Zugang zum Mittelalter scheint hier vor allem von emotionalen und identitätsstiftenden Aspekten geprägt zu sein. Wie aber wird das Mittelalter im populärkulturellen Gedächtnis bewahrt? Und was sagt diese Art der Mittelalterrezeption über unsere Gesellschaft aus? Diesen Fragen wird anhand Walthers von der Vogelweide "Palästinalied", einem Marktklassiker der Histotainmentmusik, nachgegangen

    Abstract: Erwin Panofsky – vom wissenschaftlichen Nobody zum »Einstein der Kunstgeschichte«. Ein »Lehrer mit genialem Profil und Charisma«, ein »sprachsensibler Gedächtnisriese«, der »Einstein der Kunstgeschichte« – Erwin Panofsky ist als wissenschaftliche Ausnahmefigur in die Geschichte eingegangen. Sein Name steht für die Entwicklung und Anwendung einer neuen Methode, der Ikonologie: der Interpretation eines Kunstwerks aus seinem kulturhistorischen Kontext heraus. Wo sich die Kunstgeschichte bisher eher mit Stilkritik und Zuschreibungsfragen beschäftigt hatte, rückten nun große geistesgeschichtliche Horizonte in ihr Blickfeld. Von seinem späteren Wirkungsort Princeton aus hat Panofsky dieser Methode Weltgeltung verschafft. Entstanden aber ist die Ikonologie in Hamburg, wo er an der gerade gegründeten Universität als erster Ordinarius für Kunstgeschichte wirkte – und wo er im Umfeld Aby Warburgs und dessen »Kulturwissenschaftlicher Bibliothek« entscheidende Impulse erhielt. Panofsky wurde 1934 zur Emigration gezwungen. Bis zum Ende seines Lebens hat er die gut dreizehn Jahre, die er in Hamburg verbracht hat, als »die glücklichsten und fruchtbarsten seines Lebens« bezeichnet. In diesem Buch geht es um die Frage nach den Hintergründen: Wie sah die Konstellation aus, die diese intellektuelle Erfolgsgeschichte ermöglichte? Und warum spielte Hamburg in ihr eine so große Rolle?

    Abstract: Dans les Origines intellectuelles de la Révolution française, publiées en 1933, Daniel Mornet voit en la figure de Brissot « l’image complète de toutes les aspirations d’une génération ». Cet ouvrage vise à relancer son intuition en proposant, grâce à un travail inédit de dépouillement systématique de ses archives privées, une sociologie de l’entrée en révolution (et non de la pré-révolution, car on ne pouvait la prédire alors) d’une jeunesse intellectuelle au crépuscule de la société française d’Ancien Régime. Cet ouvrage permet de comprendre comment un homme du commun éduqué, d’abord désireux d’intégrer les hautes sphères de la société de son temps, devient l’un des principaux agents de son renversement. Habité par une idée de la noblesse fondée sur la vertu plutôt que sur la naissance, il s’en attribue les qualités et tente de les faire reconnaître sur le champ littéraire. Mais il se heurte à l’indifférence de ses pairs illustres et à ce qu’il appelle le « crime de bassesse », soit le destin d’être né dans la « classe des artisans ». Brissot a le sentiment de ne pas occuper sa juste place dans une société d’ordres et d’états. De frustré et méprisé, Brissot renaît à l’identité au sein d’une communauté des opprimés aux côtés du protestant, du juif, du quaker, de l’Américain, du Genevois, de l’Anglais, du Valaque, du Brabançon, du Batave, du paysan, du prisonnier et de l’esclave noir. De victime, il se fait observateur de la souffrance universelle, produit du despotisme, puis acteur de la Révolution, d’une révolution d’abord philosophique puis politique, à la fois universelle et nationale

    Abstract: "Unternehmerisches Genie, Philanthrop, Politiker und Mäzen - das beeindruckende Wirken und Engagement Oscar Troplowitz` und seiner Frau Gertrud. Das Erfolgsgeheimnis von Oscar Troplowitz war seine außergewöhnliche Mehrfachbegabung: Er vereinte wissenschaftliche Neugier, kaufmännisches Können und Menschenfreundlichkeit mit einem Sinn für die Chancen der industriellen Welt. Aus einem Labor im Untergeschoss eines Wohnhauses schuf er einen pharmazeutisch-kosmetischen Industriebetrieb von globaler Bedeutung: Beiersdorf & Co. Er fand innovative Antworten auf medizinische Fragen und entwickelte kosmetische Angebote für eine neue Ära, in der Körperpflege zum Massenphänomen wurde. Vor allem aber kreierte er Weltmarken, die bis heute jeder kennt und die Synonyme für die jeweiligen »Gegenstände« geworden sind: Labello, Tesa, Nivea oder Leukoplast. Henning Albrecht erzählt den Aufbruch in die Markenwelt des 20. Jahrhunderts und die Entstehung der Beiersdorf AG von den handelnden Personen her - zwei engagierten Bürgern, leidenschaftlichen Kunstsammlern und großzügigen Mäzenen. 100 Jahre nach der bedeutenden Großstiftung Gertrud Troplowitz` an die Kunsthalle Hamburg erscheint mit dieser neuen Biographie des Unternehmerpaares ein spannendes Stück deutscher Wirtschafts- und Kulturgeschichte. Oscar (1863-1918) und Gertrud (1869-1920) Troplowitz 1890 erwarb Oscar Troplowitz das pharmazeutische Labor von Paul Beiersdorf in Altona, das er bis zum Ersten Weltkrieg zu einem weltweit aktiven und hochprofitablen Unternehmen aufbaute: zur späteren Beiersdorf AG, Hersteller von Marken wie Nivea, Leukoplast und tesa. Mit seiner Frau Gertrud trug er ab 1909 eine der bedeutendsten Hamburger Kunstsammlungen in einer prachtvollen Villa an der Außenalster zusammen. Nachdem der Philanthrop Oscar Troplowitz verstorben war, fiel Gertrud - bis zu ihrem eigenen Tod nur zwei Jahre später - die Rolle als herausragende Mäzenin zu."

    Abstract: Slavery takes many forms. This was also true in Roman antiquity, even though modern scholarship on Roman slavery paints the picture of a very homogenous institution. This volume intends to correct that perception. In it, renowned legal historians analyse juristic writings to showcase the social differences among slaves reflected in these texts. In this way, the papers collected here convey an impression of the complexity of Roman slave law

    Abstract: The decline of the centre-left and centre-right people’s parties is arguably the most poignant feature of the crisis of democracy in Western Europe today. To understand why, this book explores the striking parallels between the life of democracy and that of the people’s parties over the course of the past century. It offers a transnational window on the history of democracy since 1918 by weaving together three epochs which are often studied apart: democracy’s troubled history in the Interwar era; the trente glorieuses after the Second World War; and the period since the 1970s. The book shows that democracy was only stabilized and legitimized when people’s parties emerged that managed to balance between facilitating popular participation from below, bridging divisions between social groups, and practising the politics of compromise. Ideas for such parties existed already in the first decades of the twentieth century. Nonetheless, Socialist and Catholic mass parties failed to transform into people’s parties, which was essential for the crisis (and breakdown) of democracy in the Interwar era. This was a traumatic experience which contributed to the unexpected stabilization of democracy after 1945 as party leaders transformed their organizations into broad-based people’s parties that embraced compromise and responsibility. However, this stability did not last, and paradoxically their transformation also harboured the seeds of democracy’s more recent problems. Over the past decades, people’s parties have struggled to connect to an individualizing society while having become increasingly absorbed by their governing responsibilities

    Abstract: Pendant près de vingt-deux ans (1543-1565), Jean de Bretagne, duc d’Étampes, est à la tête de la Bretagne en tant que gouverneur de la province. Héritier des comtes de Penthièvre, eux-mêmes issus des ducs de Bretagne, il devient un fidèle serviteur des Valois à qui il doit tous ses honneurs. Des sources renouvelées, tant épistolaires qu’administratives, permettent désormais de mieux cerner les contours du métier de gouverneur dans une province en voie d’intégration au royaume de France, soit entre le règne de François Ier et les premières guerres de Religion. Au quotidien, le gouverneur de Bretagne doit assurer une grande diversité de missions : défense armée d’une imposante frontière maritime en contact permanent avec l’Espagne et les Flandres des Habsbourg ou l’Angleterre des Tudors ; gestion des deniers royaux ; bon respect de la justice du souverain, etc. Avec l’émergence des troubles religieux, c’est aussi à la paix entre les confessions qu’il faut désormais veiller. Surtout, à la lecture des sources, il est frappant de constater que le gouverneur de Bretagne apparaît très souvent aussi bien comme un relais que comme un intercesseur entre sa province et le roi de France. Trait d’union entre le centre et la périphérie, entre la cour et la province, cet acteur politique de premier ordre a longtemps été mal compris et mal jugé par l’historiographie. L’analyse renouvelée de ses réseaux, de son influence et de son large pouvoir provincial permet de réévaluer le rôle tout à fait particulier de ce type de serviteur du roi dans la France de la Renaissance

    Abstract: Pierre Uri (1911-1992), normalien, agrégé de philosophie et économiste, méritait que son parcours et sa contribution à la reconstruction de la France et à l’édification de l’Europe soient mieux connus. Collaborateur de François Perroux à la Libération, il rejoint Jean Monnet au Plan, où il dresse les premiers comptes de la Nation. Associé dès le début au Plan Schuman, il prend une large part à la négociation du traité de Paris puis dans sa mise en œuvre à la Ceca. Auteur du rapport Spaak, il joue un rôle décisif dans l’introduction du Marché commun à la conférence de Messine puis dans les négociations des traités de Rome qui instituent la CEE et l’Euratom. À partir de là, ses activités se multiplient : expert international, il est l’auteur de nombreux rapports pour la Commission européenne comme pour les Nations unies ; éditorialiste et essayiste, il a été aussi professeur à l’ENA, à l’université Paris Dauphine et membre du Conseil économique et social. Théoricien et homme d’action, soucieux d’égalité et de justice, Pierre Uri a été membre du Club Jean-Moulin puis du Parti socialiste. Après avoir conçu le programme fiscal de la CGT après la guerre, il a multiplié les projets pour réformer la fiscalité en France comme en Europe et inspiré de nombreux programmes politiques. Couvrant quatre décennies, l’action de ce fondateur de l’Europe est retracée dans ce volume où sont publiés les actes du colloque qui lui a été consacré en novembre 2021 à l’occasion du 110e anniversaire de sa naissance

    Abstract: For victims of persecution, attracting international awareness of their plight is often a matter of life and death. This book uncovers how in seventeenth-century Europe, persecuted minorities first learned how to use the press as a weapon to combat religious persecution. To mobilize foreign audiences, they faced an acute dilemma: how to make people care about distant suffering? This study argues that by answering this question, they laid the foundations of a humanitarian culture in Europe. The book reveals how, as consuming news became an everyday practice for many Europeans, the Dutch Republic emerged as an international hub of printed protest against religious violence. It traces how a diverse group of people, including Waldensian refugees, Huguenot ministers, Savoyard officeholders, and many others, all sought access to the Dutch printing presses to raise transnational solidarity for their cause. By examining their publicity strategies, this study deepens our understanding of how people tried to confront the specter of religious violence that had haunted them for generations

    Abstract: Französischer Zentralismus und deutscher Föderalismus haben konträre historische Wurzeln. Können sie gemeinsam eine europäische Souveränität formen? Heute dient die Verteidigung der Souveränität als nationalistischer Kampfruf gegen internationale und supranationale Ordnungen. Dagegen erklingt in Frankreich und zunehmend auch in Deutschland der Ruf nach »europäischer Souveränität«, die inhaltlich noch zu bestimmen ist. Wo liegen die ideen- und realgeschichtlichen Wurzeln der Souveränität, und wie entwickelte sie sich? Im vorliegenden Band geben Historiker:innen, Jurist:innen, Philosoph:innen und Politolog:innen mit einer historisch vergleichenden, deutsch-französischen Perspektive Antworten auf diese Frage. Trotz spätmittelalterlichen Vorformen begann das staats- und völkerrechtliche Konzept der Souveränität erst mit Jean Bodins Definition (1576), die politischen Auseinandersetzungen in und zwischen den Staaten entscheidend zu prägen. Der Zentralstaat Frankreich setzte die Souveränität zuerst des Königs, dann des Volkes modellhaft um. Im föderalistisch strukturierten Deutschland begründete sie eine Pluralität von Staaten. Die kolonialen Imperien stützten dank der Souveränität ihre Herrschaft über außereuropäische Territorien, während das Konzept in Europa das Nebeneinander von Nationalstaaten legitimierte. Das geschah selbst dann, als diese, wie BRD und DDR, im völkerrechtlichen Sinn gar nicht souverän waren

    Abstract: Als Goethe 1786 nach Italien aufbrach, begründete er gegenüber Herzog Carl August seine Reise mit Vorstellungen einer gelehrten Muße, die seit der Antike Freiräume für geistige Tätigkeiten legitimierten. Peter Philipp Riedl untersucht innerhalb dieses Rahmens einer temporären Freiheit von beruflichen Verpflichtungen konkrete Ausprägungen urbaner Muße, die in der Italienischen Reise insbesondere aus Verona, Padua, Venedig, Rom, Neapel und Palermo geschildert werden. Übergänge von Aktivität und Passivität, von durchaus anstrengender, aber selbstbestimmter Arbeit und Genuss werden ebenso analysiert wie unterschiedliche Muster kontemplations- und erlebnisorientierter Muße. Ergänzt werden diese Überlegungen durch Interpretationen von Formen narrativer Muße in Das Römische Carneval, poetischen Inszenierungen der Raumzeitlichkeit von Muße in den Römischen Elegien sowie Evokationen lyrischen Flanierens in den Venezianischen Epigrammen

    Abstract: The increasing radicalization of political life in most countries in Europe lends special relevance to studies of the antifascist legacies on the continent. This insightful collection of essays is an in-depth review of antifascism in Slovenia, setting it in the context of related movements elsewhere in Europe. The period treated by the 19 essays comprises the interwar period, World War Two, and the post-war decades. The comparative and transnational perspectives advanced by the volume change our understanding of antifascism. The essays deal with the right-wing but also left-wing instrumentalization of antifascism, with a particular focus on the communist and post-communist periods. The authors point out that antifascism comes in various strains, whether inspired by liberalism, social democracy, communism, monarchism, anarchism, or even Christian conservatism. The contributors bring to light several overlooked antifascist actors, campaigns, and organisations, mostly in Slovenia and the Adriatic area

    Abstract: Global goods were central to the material culture of eighteenth-century country houses. Across Europe, mahogany furniture, Chinese wallpapers and Indian textiles formed the backdrop to genteel practices of drinking sweetened coffee, tea and chocolate from Chinese porcelain. They tied these houses and their wealthy owners into global systems of supply and the processes of colonialism and empire. Global Goods and the Country House builds on these narratives, and then challenges them by decentring our perspective. It offers a comparative framework that explores the definition, ownership and meaning of global goods outside the usual context of European imperial powers. What were global goods and what did they mean for wealthy landowners in places at the ‘periphery’ of Europe (Sweden and Wallachia), in the British colonies of North America and the Caribbean, or in the extra-colonial context (Japan or Rajasthan)? By addressing these questions, this volume offers fresh insights into the multi-directional flow of goods and cultures that enmeshed the eighteenth-century world. And by placing these goods in their specific material context - from the English country house to the princely palaces of Rajasthan - we gain a better understanding of their use and meaning, and of their role in linking the global and the local

    Abstract: Die erste eingehende Betrachtung der bedeutenden Vorträge an der Kulturwissenschaftlichen Bibliothek Warburg. Die Kulturwissenschaftliche Bibliothek Warburg (KBW) wird seit vielen Jahren intensiv erforscht, das Werk Aby Warburgs in einer Studienausgabe herausgegeben. Das Interesse an seiner Bedeutung für die Wissenschaftsgeschichte des 20. Jahrhunderts reißt nicht ab. Umso erstaunlicher ist es, dass bislang Studien zu den an der KBW gehaltenen Vorträgen fehlten. Die von Fritz Saxl 1921 initiierten Abendvorträge spiegeln das intellektuelle Netzwerk der KBW und ihren wissenschaftlichen Anspruch wider und wurden bis 1931 in einer eigenen Reihe publiziert. Eingeladen waren wichtige Vertreter ihrer Fächer, die dennoch heute außerhalb ihrer jeweiligen Disziplinen oft in Vergessenheit geraten sind. In diesem Band werden die Vortragenden daher vorgestellt, bevor die Aufsätze sich auf das an der KBW referierte Thema konzentrieren. Gemeinsamer Bezugspunkt ist der erste in der Reihe der Vorträge, mit dem Saxl der Zuhörerschaft Warburgs Forschungsanliegen und -ansätze vorgestellt hatte. Wie nah ist der jeweilige Vortrag diesem Programm, wo setzt er sich davon ab, und welche der gedruckten Vorträge können als eine Erweiterung und Fortführung des Warburg`schen Ansatzes angesehen werden?

    Abstract: Combating the Hydra explores structural as well as occasion-specific state violence committed by the early modern Habsburg Empire. The book depicts and analyzes attacks on marginalized people "maladjusted" of all sorts, women "of ill repute," "heretic" Protestants, and "Gypsies." Previously uncharted archival records reveal the use of arbitrary imprisonment, coerced labor, and deportation. The case studies presented provide insights into the origins of modern state power from varied techniques of population control, but are also an investigation of resistance against oppression, persecution, and life-threatening assaults. The spectrum of fights against debasement is a touching attestation of the humanity of the outcasts; they range from mental and emotional perseverance to counterviolence. A conversation with the eminent historian Carlo Ginzburg concludes the collection by asking about the importance of memorizing horrors of the past

    Series Statement: Studies in German History
    Keywords: European history ; Human rights ; Legal history
    Abstract: Over the course of its history, the German Empire increasingly withheld basic rights-such as joining the army, holding public office, and even voting-as a form of legal punishment. Dishonored offenders were often stigmatized in both formal and informal ways, as their convictions shaped how they were treated in prisons, their position in the labour market, and their access to rehabilitative resources. With a focus on Imperial Germany's criminal policies and their afterlives in the Weimar era, Citizens into Dishonored Felons demonstrates how criminal punishment was never solely a disciplinary measure, but that it reflected a national moral compass that authorities used to dictate the rights to citizenship, honour and trust

    Abstract: Russia's large-scale invasion on the 24th of February 2022 once again made Ukraine the focus of world media. Behind those headlines remain the complex developments in Ukraine's history, national identity, culture and society. Addressing readers from diverse backgrounds, this volume approaches the history of Ukraine and its people through primary sources, from the early modern period to the present. Each document is followed by an essay written by an expert on the period, and a conversational piece touching on the ongoing Russian aggression against Ukraine. In this ground-breaking collection, Ukraine's history is sensitively accounted for by scholars inviting the readers to revisit the country's history and culture. With a foreword by Olesya Khromeychuk

    Abstract: Fotografien sind Gesten des Zeigens. Wie der Finger, der in eine Richtung gestreckt wird, lenken Fotografien Blicke, als sagten sie: Schau mal! Das NS-Regime nutzte fotoillustrierte Zeitschriften als wirkungsvolles Propagandainstrument, das Unterhaltung und ideologische Beeinflussung geschickt miteinander verband. Ein Großteil der Fotos stammte von Mitgliedern der Propagandakompanien. Neben Frontberichten wurden Beiträge aus Politik, Literatur, Musik, Radio und Film, aber auch Leser*innenbriefe, Privatfotos, Benimm- und Beziehungsratschläge veröffentlicht. Zeitschriften konnten gesammelt, ausgetauscht und zwischen Front und Heimat verschickt werden. Sie waren somit das ideale Medium für die Verknüpfung einer weiblich markierten Heimat und einer männlich visualisierten Kriegsfront – und damit auch der zu etablierenden Volksgemeinschaft. Der methodische Zugang der fotografischen Geste erschließt einen neuen Blick auf die Fotoproduktion als wesentlichem Bestandteil der nationalsozialistischen Öffentlichkeit

    Abstract: Examining diversity as a fundamental reality of empire, this book explores European colonial empires, both terrestrial and maritime, to show how they addressed the questions of how to manage diversity. These questions range from the local to the supra-regional, and from the management of people to that of political and judicial systems. Taking an intersectional approach incorporating categories such as race, religion, subjecthood, and social and legal status, the contributions of the volume show how old and new modes of creating social difference took shape in an increasingly globalized early modern world, and what contemporary legacies these ‘diversity formations’ left behind. This volume shows diversity and imperial projects to be both contentious and mutually constitutive: on the one hand, the conditions of empire created divisions between people through official categorizations (such as racial classifications and designations of subjecthood) and through discriminately applied extractive policies, from taxation to slavery. On the other hand, imperial subjects, communities, and polities within and adjacent to the empire asserted themselves through a diverse range of affiliations and identities that challenged any notion of a unilateral, universal imperial authority. This book highlights the multidimensionality and interconnectedness of diversity in imperial settings and will be useful reading to students and scholars of the history of colonial empires, global history, and race

    Abstract: Since the 1970s, environmental issues have become a major concern for European citizens and thus for European politicians. In the same time frame the political sphere in Europe, and in particular within the European Union, has also been undergoing major transformations. Dealing with environmental issues over more than fifty years in a historical perspective enables us to gain a better understanding of these transformations, notably the emergence of a European public sphere and how this is changing decision-making processes. Drawing on recent research results from various disciplines, including history, sociology, law and political sciences, this volume addresses the methodological challenge of a European perspective on a transnational subject – one that is commonly distorted by a national prism. It shows how perceptions of the environment are increasingly converging and how these convergences of views across political or linguistic borders in the long run exert an undeniable influence not only on political debates but also on political decisions across Europe. Revealing European characteristics of perceptions, debates and policies, this volume contributes to a history of Europeanisation beyond the usual political turning points and limits

    Abstract: Der Rechtsextremismus begleitet die Geschichte der Bundesrepublik seit ihren Anfängen. Dazu gehören u.a. Parteien, im Hintergrund arbeitende Kulturorganisationen, Jugendbünde, aber auch militante und terroristische Gruppierungen. Die Existenz vielfältiger Organisationen und Zusammenschlüsse, ihre inhaltliche Ausrichtung und die Vernetzung untereinander waren und sind in hohem Maß auch durch das Engagement einzelner Akteure und Akteurinnen geprägt. Der Band versammelt biografische Studien zu 24 einschlägigen Protagonistinnen und Protagonisten des bundesdeutschen Rechtsextremismus. Der akteurszentrierte Ansatz vertieft die geschichtswissenschaftlichen Erkenntnisse über diese „besondere politische Kultur" (Peter Dudek/Hans-Gerd Jaschke) in Deutschland. Die vorgestellten Lebensläufe stehen exemplarisch für unterschiedliche Alterskohorten, Sozialisationsverläufe und politische Ausrichtungen im rechtsextremen Milieu. Gleichzeitig führen sie eindrücklich vor Augen, in welcher Weise politische und gesellschaftliche Rahmenbedingungen die „Erfolgsfähigkeit" der hier vorgestellten Akteurinnen und Akteure mitbestimmten. ; Der Rechtsextremismus begleitet die Geschichte der Bundesrepublik seit ihren Anfängen.
