Des milliers d’enfants métis nés dans l’Indochine coloniale ont été déplacés en France des années 1940 jusqu’au début des années 1970. Il s’agissait tout d’abord de former les jeunes eurasiens pour en faire des cadres pour la colonie puis, après la décolonisation, de les assimiler à la société française. Issues de la rencontre entre dominants et dominées, investies d’enjeux politiques et sociaux très forts, mais aussi idéologiques et démographiques, les personnes concernées ont dû se construire en métropole en tant que migrantes et métisses racisées. Grâce au croisement des archives avec de nombreuses sources orales et une enquête par questionnaire, […] Click here to read more.

The book proposes a new category – heterotopia of affect –which builds upon Michel Foucault’s typology. The category refers to changes of the places that accumulate contents of ideological, historical, religious, and national character. The book tells the history of a very Polish edifice as well as its surrounding cultural milieu and the history-creating role of the scientific community. The author focuses on the Staszic Palace whose fate reveals how – at different times in history – it catalyzed activities in search of radical changes in the mental landscape of the Polish community.

During the process of European Integration, the European Union (EU) has progressively been established as a model of a “Europe without borders”, in which free movement is guaranteed for its citizens. Cross-border cooperation in EU border regions has largely contributed to the implementation of this model. However, in the context of poly-crisis, where re-bordering is a frequent measure employed by EU Members States, this “Europe without borders” is largely being questioned. This publication collects the different contributions to the Jean Monnet Network “Frontières en mouvement” (Frontem) between 2019 and 2023. They critically assess five models of cross-border cooperation in Europe: the Franco-German model of European integration, the Franco-Belgian model of an open border, […] Click here to read more.

In this volume, six experts from Europe and Africa present new insights from the field about various aspects of Germany’s colonial rule in Africa, raising doubt about the hitherto interpretations of some important events. The outbreak of violence in Rwanda 1904 was neither an anti-colonial Hutu uprising nor the result of a royal court intrigue against German rule, but instead a response to raids, the White Father missionaries had carried out against the local population. German colonialism in Rwanda was much less benevolent than it is today recalled in Rwanda, because its main edge was directed against the population in the North whose collective memory has been marginalized in the royal abanyiginya narrative, under colonial rule and after the genocide.

Joanna Bar is an associate professor at the Institute of the Middle and Far East of the Jagiellonian University. Her research field centers around the social and political change in East African countries, with a particular focus on contemporary social and political changes in Rwanda, Tanzania and Burundi.
In this path-breaking book, he reflects on the evolution of Polish Jewry in these years against the background of its enormous contribution to Jewish religious traditions and its tragic fate in the Holocaust. A Jewish community, ‘small in numbers’ but with a ‘big presence’, continues to function in Poland. This book is essential reading for all those who wish to understand this remarkable phenomenon. Antony Polonsky, Emeritus Professor of Holocaust Studies, Brandeis University Small Numbers, Big Presence is history rooted in assiduous dispassionate research, but no less, in passionate commitment to Polish Jewry. As much Pole as Jew, Stanislaw Krajewski was a witness to Poland’s postwar Jewish renaissance and the Jews’ de-assimilation. […] Click here to read more.

Stanislaw Krajewski, professor of philosophy at the University of Warsaw, has published on logic, philosophy of mathematics, philosophy of interfaith dialogue, and Jewish experience. Founding co-chairman of Polish Council of Christians and Jews, co-author of the post-war section of the exhibition in POLIN, the Museum of the History of Polish Jews.
The monograph is the result of research conducted between 2014 and 2018 in historical museums in Central and Eastern Europe. The main goal of the book is to verify the thesis about the existence of supranational collective memory in societies affected by the shared experience of totalitarianism. The analysis of the extensive research material allowed the author to distinguish social practices and types of exhibitions. Historical policies conducted by individual states exhibit features in common, their goal being to accustom people to the difficult past, to shape the positive images of the countries and to create the cultural founding myths of the post-communist states. Historical museum exhibitions become the executors of these ideas by introducing official interpretations of the communist period.

This book is a series of case studies reflecting on narrative primary source representations of queens, regents, and royal mistresses in medieval and early modern France. Examining stories of famous women, including Isabeau of Bavaria, Valentina Visconti, Agnès Sorel, Diane de Poitiers, Eleanor of Austria, and even Anne Boleyn, who spent her formative years at the French court, author Tracy Adams takes unprovable or false anecdotes as a point of departure and follows them back to their primary sources. When readers open a work of history, they have the right to assume that what they find on the pages is “historically true,” in other words, that it accords with primary sources. And yet scholars studying women of the medieval and early modern periods know all too well how often unprovable or even false anecdotes, frequently scandalous or misogynistic, pass for true. Typically deriving from secondary sources […] Click here to read more.
The book explores the hitherto rarely discussed connection of magic with politics in the writings of Tacitus, Suetonius and Ammianus Marcellinus, offering insight into the way language of magic and ritual pollution is used as means of characterization and historiosophical commentary on the nature of power and political struggle. Religious deviation and innovation, theurgy, necromancy, black and erotic magic, the topoi of an emperor-magician, a semi-divine emperor-healer/saviour and a witch/poisoner, all play an important role in the analyzed texts. Magic is depicted as a way of abusing the official state religion; every such abuse disturbs pax deorum and brings misery on both the perpetrator and the whole state.
Kaiser Decius (249-251) – sein Image als Christenverfolger wurde maßgeblich von den Bischöfen Cyprian und Dionys geprägt. Diese verstanden es geschickt, ihre Flucht während der decianischen Krise als Reaktion auf eine reichsweite Christenverfolgung darzustellen. Allerdings hatte sich Decius’ Opferedikt darauf beschränkt, auf lokaler Ebene den Haushaltsvorständen den Vollzug eines Opfers an die Götter vorzuschreiben. Die zu diesem Anlass verfassten Opferbestätigungen (libelli) hatten keine Kontrollfunktion, wie eine akribische Analyse der erhaltenen Papyri und ein struktureller Vergleich mit verwandten amtlichen Eingaben zeigen. Andere Ereignisse aus Decius’ Regierungszeit können allein aus zeitgenössischen Quellen auf Papyrus, Stein und Münze oder aus literarischen Notizen späterer Zeiten rekonstruiert werden.

The volume is divided into three chapters which, starting from some fragments of Cassio Emina, reconstruct the cultural climate, the forms, the method and the constants of the historiographical activity of this author. The profile of a multifaceted intellectual personality emerges, attracted by rationalism and influenced by the doctrine of Euhemerus, and particularly interested in the story of the origins of the city of Rome and its institutions.

Archaeology
Les quatre contributions du présent ouvrage explorent la manière dont les auteurs de la fin du Ier et du début du IIe siècles utilisent l’écriture pour organiser et maîtriser le monde matériel. Ils soulignent que l’écriture, bien que distincte de la vie, permet de posséder et de transformer les objets en concepts littéraires ou techniques. Pline l’Ancien, Martial, Stace et Pausanias sont examinés pour leurs différentes approches : Pline inventorie la nature, Martial crée une poétique des objets, Stace loue l’actualité sous Domitien, et Pausanias offre une géographie basée sur l’observation directe. Il s’avère que ces auteurs utilisent les mots pour rendre le monde antique compréhensible et accessible, malgré la diversité de leurs méthodes et objectifs.

The present book takes up the long-debated subject of the presence of amber around the Adriatic during the Bronze Age (2nd millennium BC). It offers an exhaustive review of the current state of knowledge about the use of amber by prehistoric communities living on the opposite sides of the sea. The author focuses primarily on the spatial and chronological aspects of amber’s acquisition in Italy and the Balkans, form and function of the artefacts made of it, issues connected to their processing and ways of circulation of these products within the study area. Furthermore, attention is paid to material and symbolic statuses of amber among the local societies. Finally, the role of the circum-Adriatic zone in the long-range transfer of amber from Northern to Southern Europe is assessed.
Les sources littéraires antiques retracent les périodes archaïque, classique et hellénistique de l’histoire de Crotone, la fameuse ville de Grande Grèce. Elles se tarissent quand on aborde la période romaine, après la transformation de Crotone en colonie en 194 av. J.-C. Pour compléter l’histoire de Crotone de son entrée dans la sphère d’influence de Rome à la fin de la période impériale, c’est à l’archéologie qu’il faut faire appel. Au cœur de ce livre, l’archéologie du territoire est mise en dialogue avec celles des pôles urbains de la région (Crotone, Capo Colonna et Petelia) et avec l’insertion de la cité dans les réseaux culturels et économiques régionaux et méditerranéens.

Este libro presenta un estudio global de la peregrinación islámica delegada (al-ḥaŷŷ bi-l-niyāba) a la ciudad santa de La Meca, entre los ss. XI y XVI. Esta modalidad de peregrinación es conocida a través de certificados que fueron emitidos a peregrinos contratados para realizar los rituales requeridos en nombre de segundas personas. La investigación aquí realizada identifica el origen legal de la delegación en la jurisprudencia islámica sobre la herencia, y suma a este estudio el análisis de varios ejemplares acreditativos de la visita (ziyāra) a la tumba del profeta en Medina, no documentados hasta el momento en el contexto islámico medieval. Esta contribución tiene por objeto arrojar luz sobre la cultura material de la peregrinación islámica, analizando las particularidades materiales, textuales e iconográficas de estos documentos desde una perspectiva diacrónica.

Xu Hong Where did the word „China“ (Zhongguo中国, the Central State) come from, and why was this hinterland named „Central State“? This book retraces the origins of China. It provides readers with a timeline, and tells the stories that happened in the central plain (the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River) around 2000 B.C. Through analysis of the rise and fall of Taosi, Songshan Cultures, the rise of Xinzhai Site and so on, which finally leads to the study of Erlitou Site and culture, the author deconstructs the birth of the Xia Dynasty, which was the first dynasty of China, and reconstructs the formation of the prehistoric and protohistoric China.

A History of Traditional Chinese Military Science provides a clear and informative survey of traditional Chinese military theory and examines its distinct character in different eras, starting from the primitive time to the end of the Qing Dynasty. Special emphasis is laid on the exploration of dynamics that goes into shaping military theory and culture in ancient China. Apart from representative military works, figures and battle cases, the book draws on military system, technology, tactics, army formations, military topography as well as cultural and archaeological insights. This not only enriches the scope of study and enlivens the narrative, but also makes it an ideal companion for military scholars and anyone interested in Chinese history and military culture.
The southwestern borderland in imperial China covers the area encompassing present-day Yunnan, Guangxi, Guizhou, southwestern Sichuan, and the northern part of the Indochina Peninsula, once under the Central Plains dynasty’s rule. For more than two millennia, China exercised varying degrees of political and military control over this region. The book traces the history of the dynamic and delicate relationship between the imperial court and the southwestern borderland throughout the Han, Jin, Southern, Sui, Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming, and Qing dynasties, and examines how the Nanyue, Shu- Han, Nanzhao, and Dali regimes governed the region. The author’s close analysis of both the governance strategy and its implementation sheds critical lights on how this important relationship was sustained for such a long period of time.
Ethnic classification is the process of establishing standards, such as shared ancestry, language, religious practices, cultural traditions, and geographical distributions, for categorizing ethnic groups. Tracing the history of China to its tribal origins, the book explores how the identities of the numerous ethnic groups in China were established and how these groups interact with one another. By comparing and contrasting exonyms and autonyms, the authors offer an insightful ethnographic analysis of the system for assigning ethnonyms. Drawing on a large body of research in history, folklore studies, archaeology and linguistics as well as a rich trove of primary sources, the book provides readers with a both expansive and in-depth look at how people understand their similarities with, differences from and relationship to one another.

Soucieux de gagner l’indépendance et l’autonomie du pays face au monde occidental et à l’URSS, le leader révolutionnaire Mao Zedong a mené, entre 1949 et 1976, une “Révolution socialiste” continue. Cet ouvrage observe les formes de l’autoritarisme maoïste en multipliant les angles de vue – arcanes du pouvoir de parti-État, opposition au sein du système, voix réfractaires des petites gens, etc. S’appuyant sur des sources inédites, l’auteur offre des plongées sur des personnages de second ou troisième rang peu connus de l’histoire de la Chine contemporaine, des éclairages sur une ville (Shanghai) plutôt que sur une histoire nationale, ainsi que sur une multitude d’acteurs […] Click here to read more.
Warum eine chinesische Monographie über deutsche Sinologie ins Deutsche übersetzen? Ist das nicht überflüssig? Mit Dialog des Missverständnisses wendet sich der Verfasser konkret gegen Kritikfurcht, nationalbezogene Engstirnigkeit, und monolithische Kultur- und Deutungsnarrative, indem er die diesen Mechanismen zugrunde liegenden Befürchtungen argumentativ entkräftet und zugleich die darin enthaltenen Gefahren von wissenschaftlicher Stagnation und geistig-kultureller Limitation aufzeigt.
Focusing on the integration of the Chinese civilization over the last four millennia, this book outlines the history of clashes, interactions, and fusion between the Huaxia civilization and the Grassland civilization, the two major powers shaping the history of China, from multiple perspectives. It particularly emphasizes how the two regional civilizations adapted themselves in response to each other throughout their evolution, and how they eventually combined to reach the pinnacle of a unified shining Chinese civilization. This book is a macroscopic delineation of the Chinese civilization aiming at helping readers better understand the origin of the Chinese identity, the Chinese nation, and its future.

Sustaining Indigeneity in New Zealand is a revised collection of ten essays by Steven Webster, all written since 1998. Collectively they address national policies and indigeneity movements through a lens of class inequality. Webster describes efforts to assimilate the Māori since the advent of neoliberal policies in the 1980s, with a particular focus on the ways the Māori and their supporters have resisted or subverted these policies. Topics covered include: how an idealised version of Māori culture obscured assimilation of the Māori in the 1850s; the Māori renaissance of the later twentieth century; neoliberal subversion of Māori fishing rights; the struggles of Nāi Tūhoe, who won control of their ancestral lands under a benevolent administration, […] Click here to read more.
Economic History
Pourquoi la monnaie suisse est-elle le franc, unité monétaire bien connue de la France jusqu’en 2002 ? La réponse à cette question est plus complexe qu’il n’y paraît. Et pour cause : au milieu du 19e siècle, plus de 700 monnaies différentes circulent sur le territoire helvétique, représentant des milliers de variétés de pièces. Réussir à en choisir une seule qui satisfasse les intérêts de tout le monde est pour le moins délicat.
En parcourant les nombreux débats monétaires qui ont lieu en Suisse entre 1815 et 1865, cet ouvrage analyse le long processus de centralisation et d’unification des monnaies. Il montre que le chemin pour y parvenir est semé d’embûches et que le franc suisse naît en 1850 dans la douleur.

Du sommet de La Haye (décembre 1969) à la signature du Traité de Maastricht (février 1992), la dynamique des relations monétaires franco-allemandes a joué un rôle primordial dans la longue genèse de l’Union économique et monétaire (UEM). En s’appuyant sur le croisement des sources historiques françaises, allemandes et européennes, l’étude se propose d’en analyser les ressorts et les points d’inflexion. Dans un contexte économique en mutation, les relations monétaires franco-allemandes affichent deux objectifs majeurs: la stabilité économique et monétaire et la promotion d’une entité européenne forte. Le pouvoir politique français a comme véritable interlocuteur le pouvoir économique allemand, représenté par la Bundesbank. […] Click here to read more.
Même si la décarbonation et la transition énergétique sont des préoccupations majeures pour l’opinion publique et les acteurs sociétaux en ce début de XXIe siècle, le pétrole ainsi que les énergies fossiles continuent d’ influencer notre culture, notre mode de consommation et notre perception de la modernité. En retraçant la vie des “chercheurs d’or noir”, ce livre raconte l’histoire de la recherche pétrolière française. Il présente les acteurs, les techniques et les politiques industrielles qui ont permis de protéger les intérêts stratégiques de la France tout au long du XXe siècle. En déconstruisant les mythes de “l’or noir” et de “l’épopée du pétrole français”, l’auteur apporte un regard nouveau sur l’histoire du pétrole. Les travailleurs et travailleuses de ce secteur ne sont ainsi plus considérés comme une personnification de la propagande industrielle, mais comme les témoins privilégiés de l’avènement d’une nouvelle ère énergétique.
En 1975, en Irak, le mot d’ordre du parti Baas socialiste – “le pétrole arabe aux Arabes” – est enfin devenu réalité. La difficile décolonisation économique et politique des pays producteurs de pétrole du Moyen-Orient est en grande partie achevée. Du premier jaillissement du pétrole à l’affirmation de la souveraineté des pays arabes sur leurs ressources naturelles, il aura fallu près de sept décennies pour que ces pays triomphent de l’exploitation monopolistique de l’industrie pétrolière occidentale. L’essor de la production et de la commercialisation du pétrole au lendemain du Second conflit mondial au Moyen-Orient suscite l’immense espoir des pays producteurs de pouvoir faire du pétrole la source privilégiée du développement de la région. C’est oublier que les contrats de concessions consacrent la toute-puissance des Majors occidentales, à l’image de l’Iraq Petroleum Company, consortium pétrolier international créé dans les années 1920 et qui contrôle la totalité du territoire irakien pour une durée de 75 ans.

Despite Ludwig Loewe’s pivotal role in Germany’s pre-WW1 industrial success, only sparse information on him and his work remains. His “Jewish enterprise” was expropriated post-1933, falling under Günther Quandt’s control, where it stayed postWW2.
All company records and correspondence subsequently disappeared. However, when the few remaining information fragments are contextualized, a fuller picture of this extraordinary man emerges. A man who devoted much to his homeland, only for his heirs to be exiled and stripped of everything.
Der politische Umbruch im Donau-Karpatenraum am Ende des 17. Jahrhunderts erweist sich als tiefe Zäsur. Schrittweise verändern sich die Rahmenbedingungen, die im Laufe des 18. Jahrhunderts in der Stadt mehr als auf dem Land zu grundlegenden Veränderungen führen. Alte Diversitäten werden von neuen abgelöst oder konkurriert, was sich bei der Privatsphäre ebenso erkennen lässt wie im öffentlichen Raum. Obwohl in jener Periode die „Europäisierung” voranschreitet, kommt der besagte Schauplatz dennoch nicht aus der Peripherie des allgemeinen Wandels heraus.
The process of the Orthodoxization of memory in Russia started long before the Russian Orthodox Church engaged in the memory politics. It was a grassrooted process initiated by both the living and the dead. By using religious symbols and rituals, various groups of living were restoring their relationship with the forgotten dead of Soviet repressions and war. When the Moscow Patriarchate has returned to active public life and started developing its religious memory infrastructure, the Orthodoxization process got a new up–down dimension. Finally, a turn of the Putin’s regime towards religious commemorative practices caused the disappearance of the boundary between religious and political memory. The bricolage memory, consisting of elements of Orthodox tradition and Soviet memory culture, appeared.
The essays that make up this book cover a diverse range of subjects, all broadly on the theme of child refugees from Nazism in Britain. The book’s three sections – on displacement, children in art, and children in education and play – indicate the various topics considered in the study. The authors come from different academic fields – including German and Austrian exile studies, art history, language and literature, and education – so each chapter offers a depth of research as well as adding to the breadth of the overarching theme. Thus far, there has been no study dedicated to examining both the experience of these refugee children and those who worked with them, and yet they and their own children live on, marked in different ways by their experience and making their own mark in British art and literature too.

It is an inspiring and timely intervention into the fields of exile and childhood studies, demonstrating just how inextricably the two are linked.”

Prickings (Einstiche) haben die Textspiegel mittelalterlicher Manuskripte vorbereitet. Das weiß man seit knapp 100 Jahren. Mit Hilfe von Prickings wurden aber auch Bilder konzipiert. Das weiß man, seit der Autor seine Dissertation veröffentlicht hat (2017). Im vorliegenden Werk analysiert er nun mit einem computer-basierten Ansatz Texte und Bilder aus den vergangenen 3500 Jahren. Die Bilder in diesem Buch dokumentieren das Ergebnis: das Prinzip der konzeptionellen Stiche. Auf babylonischen Tontäfelchen, auf sumerischen Statuen, auf ägyptischen Papyri und Ostraka, auf römischen Inschriftsteinen, mittelalterlichen Elfenbeinen und Pergamenten wurden Marken bzw. Prickings angebracht und so Textspiegel, Architekturund andere Zeichnungen und Bilder konzeptionell vorbestimmt. […] Click here to read more.
When the German Industrial Revolution is mentioned, some unanswered questions like “when?”, “how?”, “by whom?” comes to mind. This book opens the curtain of unanswered questions about German Industrialization. Unlike previous studies on German Industrialization, this book, which reveals a highly integrated framework, also examines original areas such as the importance of education in German Industrialization and the pioneering German banking models in the 19th century. Moreover, this book offers the reader a new perspective by examining Turkish-German relations from the perspective of German Industrialization. Making use of Turkish, German and American archive documents, this book aims to provide the reader with rational inferences […] Click here to read more.
La Revolución Francesa marcó un hito en el pensamiento sobre la nación alemana. El reclamo de validez universal de sus principios de libertad, igualdad y fraternidad se conjugó con el universalismo proclamado por el Sacro Imperio Romano de la Nación Alemana. El gesto cosmopolita de la reflexión en torno a Alemania cede sin embargo ante la necesidad histórica de crear el estado nacional. El Geist alemán se repliega ante la voluntad de poder y la fuerza de las armas. A hierro y sangre se produce la anhelada unificación alemana.

The book explores the key concerns in the United States of America, as well as around the world today, related to the significance of ecology, eco-consciousness and climate change. The chapters by individual authors reflect the topics both from a theoretical and from an ecocritical perspective. In the former case, they analyze effects of the present ecological crises (i.e. climate change and pandemics), the emergence and development of environmental humanities, posthumanism, ecocriticism, ecofeminism, and ecotheology. In the latter case, they offer readings of American literary texts of the 20th and 21st centuries as significant case studies.
À l’heure où le spectre de la guerre revient sur l’Europe, les correspondances écrites lors des conflits passés résonnent particulièrement. Dans cet ouvrage, elles font l’objet d’une approche renouvelée par une perspective à la fois littéraire, diachronique et comparatiste, qui vise à en saisir les traits intemporels et les mutations, à travers une époque longue et un espace large matriciels.
La période qui s’étend des prémices de la Révolution française au milieu du XXe siècle a vu s’affirmer l’individu, quand se séparent sphères publique et privée, et se déployer des mouvements puissants qui ont modelé notre monde : la massification de l’écriture et de l’éducation, l’idée de nation et de patriotisme, la remise en question croissante des jougs politiques et idéologiques, le passage à la guerre moderne.
À travers le regard des Européens sur la guerre s’ébauche une cohérence, au-delà de l’altérité, dans un jeu d’occultation et de dévoilement de l’intime.
This book examines patterns of behavior during an era of mass brutality by analyzing, in a transnational context, mechanisms of violence and ethnic cleansing in the Balkan Wars of 1912–13. The main goal is to incorporate these conflicts into the broader discussion of the Greater War (1917–1923), thereby challenging western, Eurocentric dominance of historiography about the First World War. In contrast to earlier works of the political, diplomatic, and military history of the Balkan Wars, this book deals with what took place behind the front lines. Panagiotis Delis explores interactions between the regular army, irregulars, and local civilians, and discusses how the collective experience of war generated an undeclared ‘war on the sidelines’.

“The Balkan Wars have a special place in the history of twentieth-century violence and one that is not often recognised in Western scholarship. As Panagiotis Delis shows in his excellent book, many of the logics and practices of violence that came to dominate in Europe between 1914 and 1945 were anticipated in the Balkan Wars.”
- Robert Gerwarth, Professor, Director, UCD Centre for War Studies
“This is a rigorously researched and masterfully analyzed study of violence at the local level, offering an indispensable comparative perspective on several Balkan borderlands.”
- Theodora Dragostinova, Professor of History, The Ohio State University
The book presents the life of Louis Wolowski (1810–1876). Born into a family of Frankist Jews in Warsaw, Wolowski participated in the Polish insurrection of 1830–1831 and later settled in France. Specializing in political economy, Wolowski became a professor at the prestigious Conservatoire des Arts et Métiers at the age of 29 and a member of the Academy in 1855. In 1852 he founded Crédit Foncier, one of the most important French banks and actively participated in the banking revolution of the second half of the 19th century. He also had a political career. Wolowski served as a deputy and from 1875, a life senator. Representing the liberal center of the French political scene, he played a crucial role in the establishment of the Republic in France.
From the images carved and painted to the buildings edified, from liturgical objects to reliquaries and tombs, from books to personal objects of piety, this volume reflects the many domains where the relation between materiality and devotion can be a prospect and a problem. It intersects the material, functional, performative and aesthetic dimensions with the different readings it calls for, the cognitive and emotional apprehensions, the representations (erudite and popular) it associates with, the practices that it sustains, the memories that polarize and legitimize, the powers that were affirmed through it. It discloses the diversity of variants such as wealth and social position, literate training, and gender differences.
Un siècle après la parution de l’opus magnum d’Arthur Moeller van den Bruck (1876-1925), Das dritte Reich une traduction française de ce texte phare de la Révolution conservatrice allemande trouve sa pleine justification. “Bible” des “Jeunes conservateurs”, diffusé en près de 150.000 exemplaires, l’ouvrage attira rapidement l’attention de certains nationaux-socialistes avant d’être rejeté par eux pour des raisons qui, de leur point de vue, avaient toute leur légitimité. Etranger à l’idéologie racialiste des partisans d’Hitler, le livre est l’oeuvre d’un conservateur opposé à la République de Weimar et désireux de combattre à tout niveau les idées libérales et démocratiques avec pour objectif de tracer des pistes susceptibles d’ouvrir la voie à un redressement de son pays vaincu dans le cadre d’un “troisième Reich” doté d’un régime autoritaire destiné à advenir à moyen terme et permettant, tel était son espoir, l’épanouissement de toutes les potentialités de la nation germanique.
Der Rückblick auf die Jahre des Ersten Weltkrieges würde unvollständig bleiben, wenn man das Landvolk, das damals noch überall die Bevölkerungsmehrheit ausmachte, nicht berücksichtigen würde. Diesem Thema widmet sich der vorliegende Sammelband, der aufzeigt, wie sehr sich die Lebensumstände der ländlichen Bevölkerung drastisch änderten und eine Fülle von Emotionen aufkommen ließen. Der Schwerpunkt der Beiträge liegt auf dem Alpen-, Donau- und Karpatenraum, doch kommt auch die Westfront (Frankreich/Belgien) zur Sprache.

The publication is a collection of research articles that provide an insight to mnemonic governance – a process of shaping the shared social imaginary of the past by legislators, courts, scholars and other actors. This phenomenon can be observed as an element of political discourse or as changes in law consolidating certain officially recognized states. The contributions in this volume offer a political, legal and historical analysis of transitional justice legislation, emerging memory laws, and the societal perception of the past. With this publication, we intend to contribute to the ongoing and changing debate surrounding memory politics and highlight the practical consequences of mnemonic governance.

Fokussiert werden Themen, die es ermöglichen, die polnisch-deutschen intellektuellen, historischen und künstlerischen Beziehungen durch das Prisma revolutionärer Ereignisse zu betrachten, die die jüngere europäische Geschichte bestimmt haben. Ausgangspunkt ist die Französische Revolution, insofern die unterschiedlichen polnischen und deutschen Reaktionen auf ihren Ausbruch und […] Click here to read more.
In the second half of the 19th and the first half of the 20th century, nearly one-third of the population of today’s Slovenia permanently settled in countries around the world. Many more were traveling back and forth, searching for work to ensure the survival of the family members left behind at home and the prosperity for the families and communities they were creating abroad.
From one of the smallest nations in Europe, barely reaching one and a half million inhabitants at the time, people depar ted in numbers reaching 440,000. This book tells their stories about the “daring dreams of the future,” as the Slovenian poet Oton Župancˇicˇ—whose words open the book—so beautifully put it. […] Click here to read more.
Described as the “sick man of Europe” by the Great Powers, the Ottoman Empire in the early twentieth century was in terminal decline. The newly independent Balkan states—Greece, Serbia, Montenegro and Bulgaria—each had significant ethnic populations who had remained under Ottoman rule. Under the guidance of Russia, which had its own interests in south-east Europe, they joined forces against the Ottomans, under the name of the Balkan League, in 1912.
In the first phase of the Balkan Wars, Bulgarian, Greek, Montenegrin and Serbian armies fought together against the Ottoman Empire, dealing the Ottomans a heavy defeat in a result that made headlines around the world. In the second phase, the Balkan states fought each other, and Romania also entered the war. […] Click here to read more.
“The Balkan Wars of 1912/13 were a disaster for the Ottoman Empire, a triumph for the Balkan governments, and a tragedy for the population of the belligerent states.This well structured collection brings together contributors from various backgrounds. Together they help to understand overarching issues far beyond the military event, and especially the still underresearched Ottoman perspective.”

Broken Ground captures Germany’s tumultuous first year of the First World War, as it built an occupation administration from scratch from August 1914 to August 1915. Borderlands of the German, Russian, and Austro-Hungarian Empires became battlegrounds. The German army, struggling to maintain order in a thin strip of war-ravaged, ethnically Polish territory seized from Russia, called for the aid of bureaucrats from the German Kingdom of Prussia to form the Civil Administration for Russian Poland. With few resources, the civilian administrators relied on independent Polish citizens committees and militias to maintain order and called upon the American Rockefeller Foundation to intervene philanthropically to provide food aid. Despite these immense challenges, the scrappy administrators built a lasting occupation […].
In diesem Band werden die Erkenntnisse des 70. Baltischen Historikertreffens 2017 in Göttingen präsentiert. Er beleuchtet, wie sich die Staaten Nordosteuropas nach dem Ersten Weltkrieg entwickelten, wobei ein besonderer Fokus auf multiethnischen Gesellschaften und Methoden ihrer friedlichen Stabilisierung liegt. Es wird analysiert, wie die ehemaligen Imperien Koexistenz ermöglichten und wie die neugegründeten Nationalstaaten diesem Vorbild folgten. Abschließend betrachtet das Werk zwei Friedenskongresse, an denen die junge Sowjetmacht beteiligt war. Ein tiefgreifender Einblick in Staatsbildung und internationale Beziehungen im frühen 20. Jahrhundert.

Robert Vipper (1859–1954) war vor dem Ersten Weltkrieg Professor für Universalgeschichte an der Moskauer Universität und hatte sich ebenfalls als Geschichtstheoretiker und Geschichtsdidaktiker einen Namen gemacht. Die Revolution von 1917 änderte die Rahmenbedingungen für Forschung und Lehre, Vipper fiel die Anpassung an die neuen Verhältnisse schwer. Im Jahr 1924 emigrierte er schließlich in die bürgerliche Republik Lettland. Dort startete er eine zweite Karriere als Professor für Neuere Geschichte und Hochschullehrer. Er wirkte an der Formulierung eines nationallettischen historischen Narrativs mit und behielt seine Stellung auch nach dem autoritären Staatsstreich von Kārlis Ulmanis. Nach der Annexion Lettlands durch die Sowjetunion kehrte Vipper 1941 auf ehrenvolle Posten im stalinistischen Wissenschaftssystem zurück. Die hier versammelten Beiträge spüren Wechselwirkungen zwischen Leben und Werk nach und nähern sich Vippers faszinierendem Œuvre aus verschiedenen Perspektiven.
Das Buch ist die erste historische Darstellung des Tiroler Ständewesens in der zweiten Hälfte des 18. Jahrhunderts. Es wird darin en détail die institutionelle und personelle Entwicklungsgeschichte der Tiroler Landschaft im Zeitalter des Aufgeklärten Absolutismus der Habsburgermonarchie rekonstruiert. Dadurch wird nachgewiesen, dass die vier Stände – Klerus, Adel, Bürger und Bauern – ihren regionalen Herrschaftsanspruch während der maria-theresianischen und josephinsichen Reformära behaupten konnten. Mit der vorliegenden Monographie wird somit der regionalhistorische Topos von der „Entmachtung” und dem „politischen Stillleben” des Tiroler Ständewesens im späten 18. Jahrhundert widerlegt und gezeigt, dass es den Landesherren nicht gelang, die landständische Selbstverwaltung zu zerstören.

Henri de Rohan (1579-1638) war eine facettenreiche Persönlichkeit: Militärführer und Publizist. Hochadliger und Hugenotte. Loyal und oppositionell. Er stiftete Unruhen in Frankreich und ging später in Richelieus Auftrag gegen die „Spanish Road“ im Veltlin vor. Sein Traktat De l’intérêt des princes et des Etats de la chrétienté wurde für den Interessen-Diskurs wegweisend. Erstmals geht eine geschichtswissenschaftliche Studie zahlreichen Veröffentlichungen und Briefen Rohans systematisch nach. Sie arbeitet sein Denken und Handeln quellenbasiert heraus und ordnet es in all seiner Widersprüchlichkeit in den Zusammenhang des Dreißigjährigen Krieges ein. Die Wechselwirkungen von Konfessionalisierung und Staatsbildung spielen dabei die entscheidende Rolle.
Cette étude porte sur August Haußleiter, élu porte-parole des Grünen en mars 1980, mais dont le parcours est aujourd’hui largement oublié. Sa biographie politique retrace les reconfigurations personnelles, politiques et idéologiques qui ont mené le “grand-père” autoproclamé des Verts du “Troisième Reich”, où il était propagandiste de la Wehrmacht, au parti “anti-partis”. Entre ces moments charnières d’une carrière qui court jusqu’à la veille de l’unification allemande, Haußleiter rejoignit l’Union chrétienne-sociale de Bavière, puis l’extrême droite, avant de tenter de se rapprocher de la jeunesse antiautoritaire de 1968. Cette biographie éclaire les évolutions de sa conception politique partiellement fondée sur l’idéologie de la Volksgemeinschaft et examine les ressorts individuels et collectifs de la quête de légitimité politique après le nazisme, dans une démocratie fédérale en reconfiguration permanente.
This book provides multifaceted analyses of everyday interpersonal violence in the Kingdom of Valencia and Catalonia between the 14th and 17th centuries. Employing qualitative and microhistorical approaches, its contributors weave a narrative tapestry where revenge among religious minorities, the impact of war on Muslim rural communities, and the phenomenon of banditry intertwine to reveal the social and cultural complexity of the era. Furthermore, its chapters explore piracy and mercenary activities, uncovering how these practices influenced social and economic dynamics.
Their contributors also delve into the trials against witches and the repression of heretical deviations or non-normative behaviors, offering a critical view on how these events were framed within the struggle for power and social control. The cumulative work of the authors not only sheds light on dark and forgotten aspects of history, […] Click here to read more.
The book presents a concise and intelligible history of the Slovenes. The authors take into due consideration the history of the territory between the Eastern Alps and the Pannonian Plain, starting with the period that began long before the first Slavic settlements. Thus, they wish to emphasize that the Slovenes’ ancestors did not settle an empty territory, but rather coexisted with other peoples and cultures ever since their arrival in the Eastern Alps. This has enabled them to build a community shaped by countless influences stemming from a long period of living alongside German, Romance, and South Slav neighbors in a melting pot of languages, cultures, and landscapes.
The same reasons have most probably also contributed to the perception of their land as a “land in between.” Constituting a link between Eastern and Western Europe, […] Click here to read more.
“The Land Between is the first concise history of Slovenia and Slovenes written in English by leading scholars from the country. The authors base their arguments on Slovenian, former Yugoslav, and Western sources to provide a comprehensive account of Slovenes’ political, social, economic and cultural history, from early Slav settlements to the present day. The authors focus on Slovenian history but, to their credit, manage to place it in a wider context of empires and states to which Slovenian lands had belonged throughout history. The book will be of use to students of Slovenia and East-Central Europe, to diplomats, journalists, tourists, and anyone interested in this part of the world. It represents a welcome addition to the historiography of Slovenia and former Yugoslavia as well as a unique insight into the state of scholarship in post-1991 Slovenia.”
- Dejan Djokić, historian, National University of Ireland, Maynooth
“A study which makes the reader feel and understand that since the end of the Cold War there is a new lease of life for Central Europe. The former borderlands between East and West construct their new identities. Slovenia is one of the most successful new democratic societies in the middle of Europe. This book is an excellent history of Slovenia which maps the narrative of a small European people without falling into the traps of national mythmaking. Writing about a small European country with two million inhabitants which crave for Central European, Mediterranean and Balkan traditions at the same time is no simple task. The book makes fine reading for everybody interested in understanding the fascinating and creative complexities in the heart of Europe. Highly recommendable for history lovers and historians alike!”
- Emil Brix, historian and ambassador, Director of the Diplomatische Akademie Wien – Vienna School of International Studies
In 1940, Estonia was first occupied and then annexed by the Soviet Union. The process of Sovietization started immediately and was accompanied by a thorough reconstruction of the economy. This monograph looks in detail at the different stages of economic restructuring of a country to be remodeled according to the Soviet example. Exploitation, violence, and declining living standards formed part of the process under Stalinist rule. Different sectors of the economy, but also the demographic development, are analyzed. By the end of Stalinism, the outcome indicated a disaster.

Who were Romania’s diplomatic representatives in the Balkans during the Second World War? How did they select and forward information? What personal mark did they add to negotiations and diplomatic notes? What was the relationship between the career diplomats and the political authorities in Romania in the context of a dictatorial regime in Bucharest? These are just some of the questions the book aims at providing answers to. Moreover, this “questionnaire” applied to the Balkans does not only elicit answers that reflect developments and processes in the area. It allows reflections on the broader decision-making architecture, on the entire Romanian foreign policy of that period and on the functioning mechanisms of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in relation to the rigours of a totalitarian state.
Formal categorization of people presents significant challenges. When politics and law become ethnicized, the pivotal question arises: who is who? This problem surfaced in Moravia after the 1905 Settlement. Other countries faced similar dilemmas decades later, during affirmative action implementation. Contemporary Moravians, like Americans or Brazilians later on, possibly grappled with a clash between traditional individual rights and modern collective rights. The critical inquiry: how far can we limit individual rights for collective rights (nation, race, minority)? Moravia, in the early 20th century, served as the first experimental laboratory.

The emergence of memory and the incorporation of new analytical categories for studying violence have gone a long way to revitalising research on the Spanish Civil War and the Franco regime. However, the obsession with the presentism inherent to the post-truth age poses new unsettling challenges for historians, insofar as they have relinquished their role as custodians of the interpretation of the past. In this book, an analysis is performed on the different times of memory that have elapsed in Spain from 1936 down to the present day, and on the problems posed by the use of concepts linked to the standardisation of the transitional account of the violence unleashed in the areas under Nationalist and Republican control.

The history of Upper Silesia is intertwined with the activities of Silesian priest Konrad Szweda, a victim of persecutions by German Nazism and Soviet communism. This book contains previously unknown letters and secret correspondence of Fr. Konrad Szweda, enriching the literature of personal documents related to World War II. These egodocuments, part of an anthology of invaluable source texts on the human spirit in “inhuman times”, offer historical material for further research on the clergy. Biographical details and factual nuances reveal surprising paradoxes, forgotten contexts, and facts, challenging established stereotypes and inspiring deeper insights into the complex fabric of the past.
Die Materialität des Todes ist ein besonders lohnendes Studienobjekt und verbindet Forschungsdiskurse, deren Austausch neue Perspektiven auf Tod und Sterben in der lateineuropäischen Vormoderne eröffnet. Dieser interdisziplinäre Sammelband geht den Möglichkeiten nach, die sich durch die intensive Erforschung eines Objekts (Grabkrone Konrads II. in Speyer) oder die Verbindung von Schriftquellen und anthropologischer Fundsituation (Philipp von Schwaben) ergeben. Er fragt nach Grabgestaltung und Grabdenkmälern, nutzt germanistische, epigraphische, mentalitätsgeschichtliche und Digital Humanities-Methodiken. Wie sterben Frauen in der mittelalterlichen Literatur, wie spricht man im Mittelhochdeutschen über den Tod? Und wie geht man damit um, wenn der Leichnam fehlt, weil der Kaiser fern seines Reiches in Kleinasien auf dem Kreuzzug verstirbt? […] Click here to read more.
Dieses Buch widmet sich der visuellen Kommunikation im deutsch-tschechischen Begegnungsraum in Vergangenheit und Gegenwart. Nicht nur die Medien Fotografie, Karikatur, Werbegrafik, Bildband und Dokumentarfilm werden in den Blick genommen, sondern auch die jeweiligen Urhebenden sowie die Archive, Verlage, Wirtschaftsunternehmen und Ausstellungshäuser, die sie bewahren und präsentieren. Anhand von ethnologischen, geschichts- und medienwissenschaftlichen Ansätzen wird untersucht, wie Bildmedien und -institutionen aktiv Einfluss auf die gegenseitige Wahrnehmung von Deutschen, Tschechen und „Sudetendeutschen“ nehmen.
How do we remember the past? What do we choose to remember? And, just as important, what has been forgotten and erased from public memory, and where do we find the erased and forgotten reminders of the wrenching events that defined the twentieth century?
This book examines how Hungarians and Austrians living along their common border remember, distort, forget, and ignore episodes marking recent times, among them World War I, the collapse of the Habsburg empire, postwar instability, the Treaty of Trianon, World War II and the Holocaust, removal of ethnic Germans, the Iron Curtain and 1956 revolution, the end of Soviet rule, and the post-1989 migration crisis.

“A unique, invaluable, and potent reminder that the past shapes the future and yet all the while is being rewritten and reinterpreted.”
- Dr. Dennis Deletant, OBE, Emeritus Professor, School of Slavonic and East European Studies, University of London
“Points out on almost every page that the past always reappears; the fate of the victims, their persecutors and descendants is intertwined in one way or another.”
- Dr. Péter Krausz, Chairman, Jewish Roots in Győr Foundation
“Returning to his parents’ home country, the author uncovers the history of the Austrian-Hungarian border region. He works through layers of truth and falsification, and gives a fascinating insight into the history of this region.”

Der Neuanfang war mühsam. Zunächst einmal beherrschte eine kleine Gruppe prominenter Pazifisten aus der Weimarer Republik das deutsche Bewerberfeld für den Friedensnobelpreis nach 1945. Erst im Laufe der 1950er Jahre traten Kandidaten auf, deren Wirken sich mit dem politischen Neuanfang verband. Jedoch kehrten nicht alle exilierten Kandidaten auch nach Deutschland zurück. Durch die jüngsten militärischen Ereignisse in Europa hat dieser Band im Verlaufe seiner Entstehung unerwartet an Aktualität gewonnen. So sehr sich auf der einen Seite die Friedensideen und -konzepte sowie die praktische Friedensarbeit der Kandidaten voneinander unterschieden, so sehr einte die Generation, die zwei Weltkriege erlebt hatte, auf der anderen Seite der feste Wille, einen dritten, wohlmöglich atomaren Weltkrieg zu verhindern.

Politische Kampfgruppen wie das Reichsbanner „SchwarzRot-Gold”, der Rote Frontkämpferbund (RFB) oder die Sturmabteilung (SA) waren Schlüsselfiguren der Weimarer Republik. Mit gewalttätigen Agitationskampagnen prägten sie das politische Klima, besonders für Parteien wie die NSDAP. Dieser Band beleuchtet den Erfolg der NSDAP 1932 in der Provinz und erforscht erstmals die linke Opposition zu der SA in SchleswigHolstein. Hierzu wird das komplexe Verhältnis zwischen dem Reichsbanner und dem RFB, zwei sich politisch vermeintlich nahestehenden Organisationen, betrachtet. Ein tiefgreifendes Verständnis dieses Verhältnisses ermöglicht neue Einsichten in die politische Dynamik dieser Zeit. Durch die Analyse von historischen Dokumenten und Archivmaterial offenbart das Werk bisher unbekannte Facetten des politischen Kampfes und der ideologischen Spannungen der Weimarer Republik.

Published to mark the three decades of a war whose grievances have never been satisfactorily resolved, The Armed Conflict of the Dniester: Three Decades Later brings together an international team of experts to discuss the causes and repercussions of the military operations carried out in 1992. Against the backdrop of the collapse of the Soviet Union, the region of Transnistria—a strip of land between the Dniester river and the Ukrainian border—proclaimed independence from Moldova in 1990. In a development with notable contemporary resonances, the separatist movement was backed by Moscow, leading to intervention by the Russian Fourteenth Army alongside paramilitary formations recruited from former Soviet states. The subsequent conflict with Moldovan forces was brought to an end by the 1992 ceasefire, […] Click here to read more.

Dr. Benken’s book is a case study of the life and death of Jan Rodowicz, nom-de-guerre Anoda, who served as a combatant in the Polish pro-independence underground resistance movement during the Second World War. The operations in which Anoda was involved, his conduct during and after the War, especially in the investigation following his arrest by the Communist security service and the mystery shrouding his death while under interrogation, turned him into a symbol for the young people of Poland in those times. His generation was forced to fight for its freedom against two criminal totalitarian systems, the Nazi Germans and the Soviets, paying with their life or health for the ideals they did not want to give up.
This book compares the school image of the wartime past of the Falange and the Polish Workers’ Party (PPR), created during the turbulent first decade of Francoism in Spain and Communism in Poland. Demonstrating the political usefulness of the Party was crucial to the consolidation of both regimes. The legitimisation of the new regime called for emphasising the Party’s war effort, not only in defeating the enemy but also in its struggle for social issues. For school-taught history, the early years of both dictatorships marked a period of breaking with prewar educational concepts and introducing and testing new ‘revolutionary’ pedagogical solutions. This book not only explains the aspirations of political rulers to rebuild the students’ memory, but also contributes to our understanding of the textbook authors’ perception of the recent past. It analyses the meanings of terms specific to mythical stories, such as nation, power, heroes and their deeds, and wartime struggle.
Die Parlamentarisierung des Kaiserreichs steht im Zentrum dieser Untersuchung, da sie von großer Bedeutung für das Verständnis historischer Entwicklungen ist. Durch die detaillierte Analyse stenografischer Berichte, die bislang oft übersehen wurden, bietet dieses Werk tiefgreifende Einblicke in die tägliche Arbeit des Parlaments und das Wirken der Reichstagsabgeordneten. Ein besonderer Fokus liegt auf Themen mit USABezug. Sie enthüllen den Prozess der informellen Parlamentarisierung und zeigen, wie die Abgeordneten ihre Präsenz und ihren Einfluss in außenpolitischen Beziehungen, einem Bereich, der ihnen traditionell verschlossen war, ausbauen konnten.

The Eastern Orthodox Churches in post-communist Eastern Europe are embroiled in long-running conflicts over ownership of territory, saints, sites, nations, and history. These often violent conflicts reflect political and national rivalries, most explicitly in former Yugoslavia and Ukraine. They are often understood as simplified ethnic-national tensions with religious overtones, but, as this book demonstrates such an assessment overlooks the deeper theological and historiographical framework.
Nationalisation of the Sacred offers a detailed analysis of the theological backdrop to these conflicts. It analyses how various strands of Eastern Orthodoxy have adapted to the contemporary political context, a process where history, memory, and politics are transformed to fit the needs of rival nations and churches.

Today, fallen soldiers of the Second World War find their resting places across the globe. While many nations openly honor their military, Germany maintains a more reserved approach to its war dead. During the war, fallen soldiers were hailed as heroes, but after 1945, the treatment of the deceased and their graves underwent a profound transformation. Janz, focusing on the Eastern Front during wartime and then the post-war Soviet Union and Russian Federation, explores this transformation through three key moments: 1. the treatment of the bodies, burial practices, and exhumations; 2. the burial sites, including cemetery construction and design; and 3. the realm of commemoration, encompassing memorial ceremonies and rituals. These rituals evolved from the hero worship of Hitler’s Wehrmacht to the mourning and reconciliation policies of the post-war West German government with Russia. […] Click here to read more.
This book is an acknowledgement and celebration of Professor Carl Bridge’s key contributions to the British World approach to history. His pioneering work was first published in several co-authored essays which appeared in 2003. Much of this grew out of a series of conferences held worldwide, starting in London in 1999 and culminating in Bristol in 2007. Scores of articles and book chapters have been produced – too numerous to mention here. At the nucleus of the project is Professor Bridge, who has encouraged a newer and younger generation of scholars – some of whom have contributed to this volume – to continue investigating the British World as a theoretical construct in the fields of British imperial and settler colonial history, with a particular focus on Australia.

“As the editors of this collection point out, twenty years ago Carl Bridge, then head of the Australian Studies Centre in London, helped to turn what was little more than an hypothesis about the importance of the British World into a field of studies. At the very heart of Bridge’s concept of the field was the belief that there existed a number of intricate and overlapping networks that had been created by British migration and settlement abroad, particularly to what ultimately became known as the British self-governing Dominions. A number of essays in this collection focus on this theme and show the importance of a comparative approach to the study of Britain’s relations with its overseas Dominions. Some of the essays also focus on the significant contribution that Bridge has made to understanding the impact of the First World War on the evolution of the British-Dominions relationship, the intertwining of British and Australian politics, diplomacy and statecraft, and how autobiographical studies can assist in defining the nature of the Anglo-Australian identity in the British World. A number of the contributors also grapple with what they see as the limits and weaknesses in the British World approach, but none of them deny that this is now a robust and important field of study. The book is thus a fitting acknowledgment and tribute to the work of Carl Bridge.”
- Professor Phillip Buckner, Emeritus Professor of History, University of New Brunswick
“Professor Carl Bridge was a key figure in the establishment of what has become known as British World history. At its best, British World history sheds new light on the complex interactions between Britain and its former settler colonies, interrogating the nature, impact, and persistence of ‘Britishness’. This collection draws together a stimulating group of essays – and historians – inspired by Bridge’s work, offering fresh perspectives on the ‘culture, diaspora, and identity’ at the heart of this very particular imperial formation.”

Ce livre analyse l’évolution de l’historiographie de la République fédérale d’Allemagne et, plus particulièrement, l’affirmation de la nouvelle histoire sociale à la lumière du rapport complexe que les historiens ouest-allemands ont entretenu avec l’historisme et la tradition historique allemande. L’auteur s’efforce de montrer dans quelle mesure les réorientations méthodologiques sont allées de pair avec l’émergence de nouvelles interprétations de l’histoire nationale, et notamment du Sonderweg allemand. L’ouvrage porte également une attention particulière au problème de la continuité de l’historiographie allemande entre la République de Weimar et la République fédérale d’Allemagne.
This book highlights multiple perspectives related to the Cold War presented by scholars from almost all continents. They discuss a variety of consequences of the Cold War for various countries and regions focusing on politics, economy, culture, and memory – according to their own professional interests. Driven by research curiosity and a desire to look at events of the Cold War from different angles, they combined their efforts and prepared this volume. Through this process, the wide and multidimensional perspective of the Cold War has been highlighted. Its legacy appears to be increasingly important today, when the world, just three decades after the collapse of the USSR and the Soviet model of Communism, is experiencing another wave of dangerous tensions in international relations, called the New Cold War.
This book is an analysis of the involvement and impact of Trinidad and Tobago’s first major labour organisation, the Trinidad Workingmen’s Association (TWA), and early trade unions in politics.
Furthermore, the author focuses on the role of unions in the evolution of working class consciousness from its rudimentary stages to the subsequent rise of organized trade unionism of the post-1937 era.
Consideration is given to the seminal role of the early trade unions as mobiliser and organiser of the working class both for participation in electoral politics, and as a catalyst for ethnic cohesion in the post-World War One era to 1976.
One of the major conclusions in the study is that the early working class organizations and emergence of ideologically strong trade unionism and ad hoc groups as the electioneering campaign committees were the precursors of the well-organized political machinery of the post-World War Two era.

“This book by Jerome Teelucksingh showcases his excellent craftsmanship as a social historian. The subject of the study is the involvement of the Labour Movement of Trinidad and Tobago in party politics during most of the 20th century. The familiar theme of labour movement-political party collaboration is in the tradition of the many fascinating studies on the links between the British Trades Union Congress and the Labour Party of Great Britain. An admirable feature of the book is the extensive use the author makes of newspaper sources of the period.”
- Dr. Roy Thomas, former Director of the Cipriani College of Labour and Co-operative Studies, Trinidad and Tobago
“Dr. Jerome Teelucksingh’s well-researched book is a very serious attempt to place on record the origins and development of our political and electoral history prior to the granting of adult franchise in 1946 and after World War Two. This book provides extremely valuable information to all our citizens who are interested in the journey from colonialism to Republicanism.”

This book aims to present a theoretical study of the concept of collaboration during the Second World War, understood as social behaviour and actions within specific conditions of military occupation. It is based on the theories of social behaviour and action developed by Max Weber and the theory of action by Pierre Bourdieu. The book seeks to elucidate the concept of collaboration, the conditions fostering this phenomenon, and positions it within the broader context of cooperation under occupation. Through typological analysis, it provides a comprehensive assessment of various forms of collaboration, considering the motivations of the actors involved. Theoretical types of collaboration, as idealized constructions, will facilitate a deeper understanding of the motivations behind the social behaviour and actions of specific collaborating individuals.

This volume undertakes a comprehensive examination of issues of translation, adaptation, and intertextuality in Hungarian popular music. Focusing on the period of state socialism, the authors provide various examples of how musicians – professionals and amateurs alike – borrowed songs from distant times and places, reinventing them in a new political, technological, and esthetic environment. The case studies deal with a wide range of genres and styles that played an important role in Hungary, such as operetta, protest song, folk, jazz, pop, and rock. Placing the Hungarian experience in a regional context, the collection also gives insight into the music scenes of the neighboring countries through a major comparative study on the Beatles adaptations in the Eastern Bloc.
Jazz in der DDR war vielfältig, subversiv und oft nonkonform. Besonders in Jazzklubs, die überall im Land verstärkt ab den 1970er Jahren ins Leben gerufen worden, manifestierten sich beständige Reibungspunkte zwischen Staat und jungen Jazzbegeisterten, die eigensinnig ihre Musik hören, aufführen und veranstalten wollten. Jazz galt für seine Anhängerinnen und Anhänger dabei als eine Art Lebensentwurf neben statt gegen den SED-Staat.
Anhand einer breiten Regionalstudie der Jazzszenen im damaligen Thüringer Raum untersucht das Buch mittels Zugängen aus Biografieforschung, Kulturtransfer und Alltagsgeschichte soziale Kontexte, musikalische Aneignungsformen sowie kulturbehördliche Kontrollstrukturen und das vielfältige Vorgehen der Staatssicherheit gegen Jazzmusik und Akteure zur Zeit der DDR.

In exploring heterogeneous intersections between jazz, rock, ethnic, and world music, this book answers the question as to whether fusion represents a style on its own or whether it is the base for combining diverse music sources. Social, political, and geographical divides reflected in post-communist, capitalist, and third worlds, and in democratic and dictatorial regimes have compelled substantial changes in musicians’ thinking. The book examines ethnic inspirations in American jazz, Slovak-American jazz, young French bands with diverse fusion identities, Hungarian and Czech progressive rock, Czech world music and brass bands, American psychedelic rock, Italian rock, and in a RomaniSlovak-Norwegian music project. New compositional and improvisational trends, and hybrid fusions in contemporary music embrace the African philosophy of ubuntu, which denotes feelings of mutual belonging free of prejudices against racial origins, social inequalities, or other cultural characteristics.
How did architecture, design and art transform from an aesthetic enterprise to serving the needs of the masses? And how did a single individual–and an outstanding representative of “radical modernism”--pursue his personal convictions in an age marked by war and totalitarianism in the name of the collective? These questions frame this comprehensive life story of Hannes Meyer, who as an upstart architect in Basel, director of the Bauhaus in Germany, urban planner near the China-Russian border, and designer of social housing and hospitals in Mexico, fought to affirm the rights of all to a life of comfort and human dignity while seeking to maintain his own identity in the process.
“Georg Leidenberger, for the first time brings to life this steadfast, difficult and polemical architect, portraying him in the whole breadth of his existence.”

In the decades after the Second World War, Denmark’s national image in Britain was greatly changed through the acclaim it received for its modern architecture and design, which British critics, consumers and entrepreneurs increasingly came to desire and emulate. Using architecture and design historical methods, this book relates Danish post-war success in promoting architecture and design in Britain to wider political and economic contexts. It also documents and analyses the multiple contributory aspects of what may now be considered to have been an early exemplar of the successful marketing of identity through the outputs of creative industries. In addition, it explains the human relationships and networks of acquaintances involved in the promotion of Danish creativity […] Click here to read more.
“This is a splendidly lucid and readable book, a distinctive and a distinguished contribution to Nordic Studies.”

Über vierzig Jahre lang brachte Willis Conover ab den 1950er Jahren allabendlich den Jazz via Kurzwelle in die Welt. Besonders in den ehemaligen Ostblockländern wurden Conover und seine Sendungen zu einem Mythos. Während die Kulturpolitiker beider Seiten versuchten, Jazz als Propagandawaffe zu nutzen oder ihn zu bekämpfen, bildeten die entstehenden Jazzkontakte eine wichtige kulturelle Brücke zwischen Ost und West. Diese Doppelfunktion des Jazz als Waffe oder Brücke analysiert das Werk anhand von bislang ungenutztem Archivmaterial aus den USA, Russland und den wichtigsten ehemaligen Ostblockstaaten sowie Conovers Nachlass und Zeitzeugenberichten.
La plaie par balle d’une ouvrière agricole en lutte se transforme en stigmate ; les espèces fi guratives du calvaire christique accompagnent la répression d’un leader de la décolonisation ; des scènes de rassemblement politique convoquent un schème communiel directement hérité de la messe catholique… Entre 1960 et 1975, plusieurs cinéastes d’obédience communiste ont emprunté leurs themes et leurs motifs à la théologie, à l’iconographie et à la liturgie chrétiennes. Au confl uent de deux grandes traditions de l’espérance, une telle constellation révèle la récurrence, à cette époque, d’un paradigme historico-esthétique don’t les lucioles de Pier Paolo Pasolini fournissent la matrice allégorique : singularités anthropologiques et étincelles archaïques qui résistent aux attaques du capitalisme mondialisé. Face aux acculturations bourgeoises, aux pulsions totalitaires et aux menaces nucléaires, c’est avec le salut religieux que ces marxistes hérétiques ont dû penser l’émancipation des peuples.

Georg Ludwig gilt als SchlüsselfigurHauptakteur in der Entwicklung der psychiatrischen Versorgung imVersorgung im Großherzogtum Hessen in der zweiten Hälfte des 19. Jahrhunderts. Bekannt ist er vor allem durch seine Rolle in der „öffentlichen Irrenfürsorge“ und den durch ihn gegründeten „Hilfsverein für die Geisteskranken“. In den von ihm geleiten Anstalten Hofheim (1855–1865) und Heppenheim (1866–1897) implementierte er die zeitgenössischen Behandlungsansätze. In dieser Arbeit werden die verschiedenen Facetten dieser Entwicklungen anhand von Sach-, Personal- und Krankenakten sowie zeitgenössischen Publikationen beleuchtet. Dazu gehören u. a.unter anderem die Implementierung des „non-restraint“Prinzips (der „zwangsfreien Behandlung“), die Behandlung mit Arzneimitteln und die Entwicklung von Ärzten und Wartpersonalärztlichem und Wartpersonal.

Bei der Gasser-Strahl’schen Sammlung handelt es sich um eine humanembryologische Schnittseriensammlung, die um 1900 am Marburger Anatomischen Institut angelegt wurde. Angesichts ihres beeindruckenden Umfangs sowie der hohen Qualität der Präparate stellt die Sammlung ein einzigartiges Dokument humanembryologischer Forschungsmethoden des späten 19. und frühen 20. Jahrhunderts dar. Der vorliegende Band geht der Frage nach, weshalb Schnittseriensammlungen zu zentralen Forschungsobjekten von Embryologen wurden. Die Autorin zeigt zudem anhand von Archivmaterial und mit der Marburger Sammlung in Zusammenhang stehenden Publikationen, woher die Marburger Präparate stammten, wie sie verarbeitet wurden und welcher embryologische Erkenntnisgewinn sich aus ihnen bis ins 21. Jahrhundert hinein ergibt.

Temporal and spiritual journeys were a shared characteristic of life for mendicant friars and the laity in medieval and early modern times. This book reflects the objective approach of trained historians in its skilled deployment of source documents. Throughout these pages, we meet with wandering friars and the lay faithful, some for the first time. The contributors are international scholars. Each enquires into a specific area of study from the fourteenth to the eighteenth century. In particular, this reveals that travel in its various forms represented an intrinsic link between the four great mendicant orders: Augustinians, Carmelites, Dominicans and Franciscans. Until recently, mendicant historiography was written by and for members of each […] Click here to read more.
Partnerschaften zwischen Frankreich und der DDR hatten vorranging einen politischen Nutzen zu erfüllen. Die SED wollte sich von der Bundesrepublik abgrenzen und die Überlegenheit des zweiten deutschen Staates demonstrieren, was in Bonn mit großer Aufmerksamkeit beobachtet wurde. Die zunehmende Öffnung gegenüber dem Westen ab Ende der 1950er Jahre brachte die DDR jedoch in eine Zwickmühle, da sie einerseits auf politische und gesellschaftliche Kontakte nach Frankreich angewiesen war, andererseits aber Angst vor westlicher Einflussnahme hatte. Diese Konstellation blieb nicht ohne Rückwirkungen auf die Praxis und die Kontakte zwischen den Städten beider Länder, die geprägt waren von der ideologischen Aufladung des Kalten Krieges. Anhand von sieben Fallstudien werden in dieser Arbeit die Intentionen der französischen und ostdeutschen Akteure, deren Ziele sowie die Praktiken der Partnerschaften […] Click here to read more.

This book illustrates how the university campus has been and continues to be a crucial space where diverse actors who embody Protestant, secular and pluralist forces negotiate the role of religion in a pluralistic society. Through comparative analysis of four distinct institutions in North Carolina’s Research Triangle from the nineteenth century to the present day, we observe how campus religious climates have varied quite significantly within a single metropolitan area – all the more across the vast system of American higher education. Institutional identity factors including race, gender, geographical reach, resource disparities, and denominational affiliations have powerfully shaped the way these universities relate to their Protestant roots amidst growing religious diversity.

“Muir offers a compelling take on the intricacies of religious pluralism in U.S. higher education. Rich portrayals of Protestant, secular, and pluralist dynamics at four unique campuses shed light on their distinctive histories and provide timely implications for leaders and educators seeking to cultivate campus environments where all can flourish.”
- Alyssa Rockenbach, Professor & Alumni Distinguished Graduate Professor, North Carolina State University
“In his astute analysis of religious life on four North Carolina campuses, Scott Muir finds that, aside from a general pattern of secularization and a gradual increase in religious diversity, Protestant privilege endures, even as campuses accommodate religious pluralism. More important, the author’s careful, exhaustive research and nuanced analyses of distinctive campus religious climates should make us wary of standard, one-sizefits-all narratives about the slippery slope toward secularism in the academy.”
- Randall Balmer, John Phillips Professor of Religion, Dartmouth College
Die Studie nimmt die Kirchenbücher im Bistum Hildesheim im „Dritten Reich“ 1933 bis 1945 in den Blick. Nach der Machtübernahme 1933 verlangten die Nationalsozialisten den Nachweis der „arischen” Abstammung von deutschen Bürgern. Dieser konnte bis vor dem Jahr 1876 nur über die Einträge in den kirchlichen Tauf-, Trau- und Totenbüchern bis ins 17. Jahrhundert zurück nachgewiesen werden. Im Bistum Hildesheim wurde 1935 deshalb ein Kirchenbucharchiv am Domhof 15 eingerichtet, um dort die Urkunden über die Abstammung auszustellen. Bis Kriegsende 1945 wurden Tausende Urkunden durch das Kirchenbucharchiv ausgestellt. Dabei kam es zu Kontakten mit den nationalsozialistischen Behörden, die sich der Durchführung der „Sippenforschung“ widmeten. Die historischen Prozesse im System dieser „Sippenforschung“ werden von der Studie anhand zahlreicher Quellen aus Archiven und Bibliotheken analysiert und das Verhältnis von Katholischer Kirche und NS-Staat im Bistum Hildesheim betrachtet.
Im Vorfeld der Aachener Heiligtumsfahrten der Jahre 1846 und 1853 wurde zwischen dem Aachener Stiftskapitel und den preußischen Behörden (1846) bzw. der Aachener Bürgerschaft (1853) über die Form der Reliquienvorzeigung gestritten. Während das Stiftskapitel, der offizielle Ausrichter der Heiligtumsfahrt, die Reliquien hauptsächlich im Münsterinnern den vorbeidefilierenden Pilgern zur Verehrung präsentieren wollte, konnten seine Kontrahenten dank der Intervention des Kölner Erzbischofs die Beibehaltung der traditionellen täglichen Reliquienzeigung von der Turmgalerie herab an die draußen auf den Umgebungsplätzen des Münsters harrenden Gläubigen durchsetzen. Diese wurde aber mit der vorangehenden (1846) bzw. anschließenden (1853) Reliquienausstellung im Münsterinnern kombiniert. Die 1853 gewählten Weisungsmodalitäten (Turmweisung am Vormittag, Reliquienpräsentation im Münsterinnern am Nachmittag) wurden für alle nachfolgenden Heiligtumsfahrten bis zum Ersten Weltkrieg übernommen.

Si communiquer est aujourd’hui pour les scientifiques une injonction, ce livre a pour ambition d’explorer les arcanes des processus éditoriaux, communicationnels ou de vulgarisation, et de mettre en lumière les évolutions de cette activité inhérente aux sciences. La communication s’est ainsi, au fil du temps, codifiée, normalisée, du fait des scientifiques, d’institutions académiques d’État, d’éditeurs ou d’entreprises médiatiques. De façon générale, elle nécessite un émetteur, un message et un destinataire. Les communications scientifiques ne dérogent pas à la règle ; après validation des résultats par des spécialistes, les travaux sont communiqués à un plus grand nombre de chercheurs, puis vers différents “utilisateurs de connaissances” jusqu’au grand public. Elles proposent de partager l’état des connaissances disponibles sur un sujet donné à un moment T et peuvent concerner de grandes périodes de temps comme de longues distances. Il existe de nombreuses façons de communiquer: communication non verbale, visuelle, orale, écrite, imprimée, numérique, formelle, informelle… Dans ce volume, il n’est question que de communication sur des […] Click here to read more.
Athlete activism by female Olympians and Paralympians is wide-ranging, with a colorful, sometimes contentious history blending sport and society. Emphasizing the rhetoric of women from around the world in multiple disciplines, Female Olympian and Paralympian Athlete Activists highlights 800+ women from 90 countries (including the Refugee Olympic Team). The book is underscored by author Linda K. Fuller’s developing theory of Gendered Critical Discourse Analysis (GCDA).
Franz Beckenbauer once observed that, in England, “war correspondents get their say whenever their team plays us.” In Crossing the Line?, Christoph Wagner surveys German football rivalry in the second half of the twentieth century as it was played out on the pitch and in the press. The Second World War undoubtedly cast a long shadow, framing the way in which matches were previewed and reported. The contrasting fortunes of the British and West German economies and British anxieties regarding German unification also impacted on sports coverage.
An intense Anglo-German international football rivalry was forged against this backdrop. Newspaper readers often turn to the back page first and first impressions are important. Press coverage helped to shape […] Click here to read more.

The topics are geographically wide-ranging, covering Greece, Romania, the former Yugoslavia and the states that emerged from its disintegration: Serbia, Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Is it possible that more than 50 years after the assassination of Che Guevara, and after hundreds and perhaps thousands of biographers, analysts, journalists, and scientists researching the life and legacy of Che Guevara, it has not yet been discovered that one of Guevara’s articles was published with a pseudonym in July 1967 in the most important journal of social sciences in Cuba, Pensamiento Crítico?

In this revised and expanded second edition of Harmonizing Sentiments: The Declaration of Independence and the Jeffersonian Idea of Self-Government, the original themes of American independence and the meaning of the pursuit of happiness have been updated in light of current controversies among historians surrounding the interpretation of the Revolution and questions of slavery and race in late eighteenth-century imperial debates. This new edition develops more thoroughly the substantive revisions made by Congress, with expanded focus on the excision of the original grievances against the king for fostering slavery and the retention of the charge of inciting domestic insurrection, to ask about the implications of these alterations in the text for the ideals of the Revolutionary movement.

Described by Thomas Jefferson as „the most sublime of nature’s works,“ the Natural Bridge is a 215-foot limestone arch in Rockbridge County, Virginia, carved out over millennia by Cedar Creek. Jefferson acquired the bridge in 1774 and, for the rest of his long life, oversaw its preservation and management. In this book, Jefferson authority Andrew Holowchak guides readers through the story of the man and his monument. Notable episodes include Jefferson’s initial interest in the Natural Bridge; his sublime depiction of the site in his Notes on Virginia; his lifelong efforts to preserve the bridge by protecting it from those who might desecrate it; his controversial decision to allow mining of lead and saltpeter nearby; and the arrival of freed slave Patrick Henry, […] Click here to read more.

When the Norman and Breton armateurs sent their ships to the New World in the sixteenth century, they had faith that through the ability to negotiate with the Indigenous peoples with whom they sought to trade, the leaders of these expeditions would return to Saint-Malo or Dieppe with precious cargo. Among these were brazilwood (used to dye cloth), chinaroot (to relieve symptoms of the pox), and furs for the European market. Storms or attacks by hostile vessels could destroy or reduce the value of the profit, but over the years the financial return proved advantageous. How and why this risky but profitable venture fell into the hands of Breton and Norman financiers lies at the heart of our story. The consequences of their investment in Brazil, Canada, and Florida would change the world, […] Click here to read more.
Die Schlacht von Gettysburg war die größte und blutigste Schlacht des Amerikanischen Bürgerkrieges und wurde zu einem nationalen Mythos der Vereinigten Staaten. Dieses Buch wirft einen Blick hinter den Mythos: Welche Rolle spielte die Schlacht im Gesamtzusammenhang des Krieges? Wie kam es überhaupt zum Einmarsch der Konföderierten in Pennsylvania, und war dieser strategisch sinnvoll? Wie genau verlief die Schlacht? Und warum war Gettysburg keine „Entscheidungsschlacht“?

“The Next Generation” tells the story of a unique group: the American-born granddaughters of early twentieth-century Jewish immigrants to the United States who were also children of Holocaust survivors, particularly those who later moved to Israel. Through an examination of her own life and experiences, the author presents it as a case study of this group, and sheds light on how the combination of being both the “Next-generation” and the “Second Generation” – children of Holocaust survivors – and moving to Israel, affected their lives.
Camps and places of transit assume relevance in certain contexts and in relation to specific events of the contemporary age: from genocide to voluntary or forced migration, from camps for prisoners of war to the management of refugees in conflicts or catastrophes. In the phases of transition to normality that follow such events, places of transit can be used for different, sometimes opposing purposes, such as the control and/or elimination of certain social groups, or as the protection of persons for humanitarian aims.
This volume investigates the relationship between camps and places of transit from three main perspectives: the history of transit camps in various countries and times; the relationship between such spaces, whose architectural characterization is fragile and difficult to recognize, […] Click here to read more.
“Multidisciplinary and comparative, Camps of Transit, Sites of Memory brings new materials and approaches to the study of Fascist, wartime and postwar concentration and transit camps in Italy, as well as their legacies. An essential volume for the continuing study of this complex subject.”

Budapest in the autumn of 1944 was a city full of terror, tension and conspiracies. Members of the SS and the Hungarian Arrow Cross movement roamed the streets looking for Jews and other opponents. The German and Hungarian Nazis planned to exterminate the last surviving large Jewish population in Nazi-occupied Europe. Ranged against them was a loosely knit network of neutral diplomats, lower-level church activists and a fragile but growing resistance movement. In an inferno of intrigue, a lowkey civil war was taking shape between pro- and anti-Nazi Hungarians. Meanwhile, the Soviet army was approaching the city and the biggest urban battle since Stalingrad was imminent. […] Click here to read more.

Political History
As Ireland’s oldest revolutionary movement and America’s oldest transatlantic nationalist organization this is the first book covering the entire history of Clan na Gael. Formed in 1867 and existing up to the present Clan na Gael has been involved directly and indirectly in every violent revolutionary attempt for Irish independence and unification since its formation 155 years ago. Despite this long history it is the least studied and most underappreciated of Ireland’s revolutionary movements. A large part of this is due to academic bias and major under appreciation as to the role of Irish America within the broader struggle for Irish independence. Clan na Gael’s influence also went well beyond the borders of Ireland. Within the U.S Clan na Gael proved a major model of influence and inspiration for […] Click here to read more.
L’arrivée en Europe d’Internet a représenté un défi technologique, mais aussi et surtout économique et social que l’Union européenne, sa Commission, ses Etats constitutifs et ses collectivités territoriales se sont efforcés de relever en développant un modèle de “société européenne de l’information”. L’élaboration de ce modèle s’est notamment appuyée sur des programmes communautaires de R&DT. C’est à la connaissance de cette politique publique ambitieuse que les auteurs de cet ouvrage nous invitent, à partir de la façon dont une petite ville française (Parthenay dans les Deux-Sèvres), s’est saisie de l’opportunité pour se constituer en un véritable laboratoire de “ville numérique”, mobilisant à cet effet ses citoyens comme co-concepteurs de services publics innovants.

Initiated by the Balkan History Association, this unique interdisciplinary volume explores the complex history of cultural, diplomatic and religious relations between Serbia and Romania during the late nineteenth and twentieth century. The authors, scholars with a wide range of academic backgrounds, address these themes in the context of Austro-Hungarian imperialism, the interwar period and the Communist era. The essays in Part I examine diplomatic, political and military relations, while those in Part II explore intellectual and artistic links between the two countries, including religion, literature and the visual arts. This is a landmark publication, the first of its kind in English, and will leave readers with a more comprehensive understanding of cultural and political relations in Southeastern Europe.
“This volume, the first of its kind, covers political diplomatic, cultural and religious relations between the Romania and Serbia, seen through the processes that shaped the two nations over the past two centuries, but also through case studies of prominent diplomats, educators, artists, rulers and statesmen. The result is a comprehensive survey of Romanian-Serbian relations based on serious archival research, leading to new and more inclusive perspectives. I am quite convinced that the collection will become a standard guide for all those interested in the relations between Serbs and Romanians.”
- Prof. Slobodan G. Markovich, University of Belgrade
“Historically, relations between neighboring nations and the people who populated them, have at various points been plagued by conflict. Yet it is difficult to cast complete blame on either side as it can be surmised that the actions taken were a result of people subject to their times. However, aside from confrontations, neighboring states also cooperated, fought together in the interest of common values, against invaders, while they also intermarried, thus enhancing both cultures. The present volume is a successful attempt by Romanian and Serbian specialists to find the political-diplomatic, cultural, and artistic interferences, that amounted to the elements of cooperation between Romanians and Serbs in the last centuries. Such instances of alliance, far from few in number, certainly prevailed in the history of the two nations, and they shaped the destiny of Romania and Serbia into the modern and contemporary eras.”

This book explores the channels through which Islamic fundamentalism has spread among Muslim populations in the Balkans since the fall of communism. The authors collectively examine political and religious ties between Balkan Muslims and various private organizations and state institutions in Muslim states, with a particular focus on the reception of Salafism and its Saudi version, Wahhabism. In that context, they debate the extent to which war crimes committed by Muslims during the Yugoslav Wars were motivated by Salafism, rather than being a result of domestic ethno-national conflicts. Finally, the book also addresses the ideological climate that has generated volunteers for Islamic State (Daesh) in recent years.
Cumulatively these essays emphasize the risks to national security in the Western Balkans represented by the return of Islamic State fighters and the spread of so-called jihadistSalafism within […] Click here to read more.
“This volume shows that Muslim communities in the Western Balkans face intense propaganda from radical Islam and the incitement of hatred and interreligious divisions, aiming to indoctrinate moderate and tolerant Balkan Muslims. Kosovar youth, for instance, are exposed to a radical ideology which, under the influence of imams trained in fundamentalist madrassas in the Middle East, aims to create a new kind of Muslim, one who is ignorant of the past, of national identity and the values of democracy, and who is concerned only with ‘Islamic’ values propagated through Salafism.”
- Kolë Krasniqi, University “Haxhi Zeka” in Peja, Kosovo
“Although Islam has historically been a socio-cultural pillar of Southeast European societies, the recent turmoil and failed revolutions across the Muslim world have influenced sections of Muslim communities in the region. This excellent collected volume is a much-needed attempt to trace the subtle workings of re-Islamisation and changes in traditional Muslim identities under the influence of foreign forms of Islam. All chapters show remarkable scholarly achievement and the fruitfulness of pursuing interdisciplinary perspectives on the development of Balkan Muslims communities since 1989.”

This edited volume traces the tragic history of state collapse and statebuilding, radicalisation and conflict in Chechnya, focusing on the contested and contesting role of historical memory. The time frame covered ranges from the beginning of civil mobilisation during Perestroika in the mid-1980s to the period of increasing authoritarianism, repression and militarisation in the run-up to the Russian-Ukrainian war in the early 2020s. The book’s eleven contributions are divided into five sub-periods and are illustrated by a rich selection of primary materials.

Israel’s New Wars examines Israel’s recent conflicts with Iran and its partners. The book’s key focus is how these wars differ from those fought between 1948 and 1982. In the wake of its independence, Israel fought a series of high-intensity wars against Arab states. Since then, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) have fought several confrontations and numerous smaller actions against non-state actors such as Hezbollah and Hamas, and have also been engaged in a long-running ‘cold war’ with Iran, mostly over Iran’s nuclear program. Author Dr. Ehud Eilam explores the lessons learned by Israel in these conflicts, and how they have influenced strategy and doctrine. He also makes a major new assessment of the structure of the IDF, and evaluates its capacity in fighting Iran and its allies. This book is essential for anyone who wishes to understand the present and future of the Middle East.

“Dr. Eilam offers meticulous analysis and in- depth discussion of current Israeli military history in a way that few historians do.”
- Brig. General (Res.) Dr. Dani Asher author and defence expert
“This carefully researched study sheds light on the multifaceted efforts of the IDF to manage and overcome the threats posed by Hamas and Hezbollah. Eilam’s balanced and nuanced analysis provides a revealing account of these endeavors.”
- John Calabrese, The American University, Washington, DC
“Israel’s New Wars is a must- read book not only analyzes the conflicts between Israel and Iran, Hezbollah, and Hamas, but also provides an intriguing and comprehensive study of how the IDF can prepare to fight non- state actors.”

“There is a lot of important information contained within this book, focusing on Ehud Eilam’s highly valuable insights on various combat events and their impacts on the IDF and its combat doctrine development.”
- Brig. General (Ret.) Gideon Avidor, Head of The Institute for Advanced Military Thinking
“Ehud Eilam offers a timely and well researched assessment of the history of 21st century conflicts pitting Israel against Hamas and Hezbollah. Most significantly, the author identifies and explains the distinctions between those conflicts and prior Arab- Israeli Wars.”

The war in Ukraine has not only affected the political, economic, social, and cultural systems but also the education and schooling system. The full-scale assault of the Russian Federation on Ukrainian territory on 24 February 2022 disrupted the teaching and research systems. The necessity of finding scholarly answers to tough questions about the situation of the universities – their academic staff and students – during the war, the solidarity attitude of universities in foreign countries, and the status of Ukrainian Studies are the causes of preparing this publication. The value of this volume is that the authors of most of the articles are specialists and theorists of the subject, at the same time observers and witnesses of the events and processes described, often actively involved in them.

Considered by many the most talented continuator of the Nashville Agrarians, Melvin E. Bradford occupies a special place in the history of modern Southern conservatism. Bradford challenged established views of the founding, nature, and political tradition of the American Union and, most controversially, the “myth” of Abraham Lincoln. His writings substantially expanded the cultural and intellectual vision of the Agrarians by adding a new political dimension, and provided vitality and intellectual weight to the Southern conservative tradition. Bradford’s scholarship can significantly contribute to a more multifaceted and nuanced understanding of American history, tradition, and identity. This book is the first comprehensive analysis of Bradford’s political thought.
This book focuses on social and political developments in Armenia during a turbulent post-2018 period. Between 2018 and 2020, the country experienced three significant waves of upheaval: a revolution, a pandemic, and a war. These events had far-reaching implications for Armenia’s social, cultural, security, and political foundations. The book provides both factual insights and theoretical underpinnings that help readers understand the country’s transformation and the resulting challenges. In its immediate neighbourhood, Armenia is one of the few countries with a clear commitment to democratic governance. However, the country, with its democratic potential in Europe’s eastern neighbourhood, […] Click here to read more.
Both the Brexit process and the Covid pandemic have challenged the idealistic concept that borders in Europe and elsewhere were becoming ever more permeable. The idea that the world was becoming a global village has been seriously eroded. Meanwhile, the war in Ukraine has once again highlighted how power politics draws borders and shapes belongings. This has necessitated analyses of the nature of humanmade borders and boundaries and the consequences for individuals and collectives who experience inclusion or exclusion on their feelings of belonging and their identities. Similarly, governmental policies within states have created majorities […] Click here to read more.
“This timely and important book provides a critical look at borders and belonging. It illuminates the tensions and contradictions that often exist within the logic of legal and political mechanisms that define regional and national boundaries and the reality of the lives lived within these constructions. The resulting essays are instructive, thought-provoking and sometimes very moving explorations of the making and meaning of historical and contemporary borderlands.”
- Roisín Higgins, Professor of History, National University of Ireland Maynooth
“This volume is a masterful combination of analyses of feelings of belonging and identities following from changing state and cultural borders in the past and present and their challenges for living together. Its chapters analyse the intersections of people, territory, institutions and law from theoretical perspectives as well as through reflexive individual experience of social identity formation from below, often with a focus on their contestation in (re-)territorialized sub-state regions.”
- Josef Marko, Professor of Comparative Public Law and Political Sciences, University of Graz
This volume is a collection of papers written over the course of forty years. It examines political attitudes, patterns of political behavior, and institutional framework of transition to democracy in Poland. Its contents have been shaped by and provide commentary on the often-dramatic political developments in Poland: the emergence of the massive liberation movement “Solidarity” in 1980–81; the dissent against the communist regime in the 1980s; the struggles to pave the roads toward consolidated democracy in the 1990s; and the problems with adaptation to European liberal values in the 21st century that led to democratic backsliding. In conclusion, it presents the cultural and structural background of the cleavage between the proponents of open society and its enemies.
December 13, 2023, marked the one-hundred-year anniversary of the ERA’s first introduction in Congress. The time is therefore ripe for revisiting how women across generations have argued that gender equality might reshape and reimagine our democracy.
In contrast to narratives that begin with passage of the Nineteenth Amendment and then propel us forward to the 1970s, this edited collection of primary texts comprehensively surveys women’s arguments about the ERA from its inception through the present day. Together and apart, these texts reveal the nuanced, complicated, and sometimes contradictory ways that women have contemplated the question of whether we need the ERA. As this next generation forges ahead to keep the ERA alive, we are left to wonder: Will women remain divided on the ERA? Will it take another century to see it enshrined in the U.S. Constitution? The ERA debate, nevertheless, persists.
The purpose of the book is to explore and explicate the origins, evolution and mobilisation of anti-war activism in Ireland from the 1950s. The author applies postcolonial critical perspectives alongside social movement theory to define the multifaceted Irish approach to different international conflicts from the creation of the Irish Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament (1958) to the current war in Ukraine. Meticulously researched, the chapters develop an analysis of the anti-war activism in Ireland, be it at a local, national or supranational level, from political parties, trade unions and civil associations. The book casts light on the factors that structure the Irish domestication of the conflicts under study, be they historical and connected to senses of national identity in the Irish Republic and Northern Ireland, or strategic, diplomatic and religious.
Ce volume est le fruit d’une collaboration entre l’Institut Georges Pompidou et le Comité pour l’Histoire de l’INSERM. Il résulte d’un constat commun : les questionnements relatifs à la santé n’avaient été qu’effleurés lors des travaux précédents, pourtant particulièrement riches, de l’Institut Georges Pompidou. Ce paradoxe était d’autant plus fort, qu’au cours des années 1960 à 1974, période traditionnellement couverte par ces travaux, les mutations du système de santé français furent considérables.
Cet ouvrage présente les recherches les plus spécifiques sur la période en les replaçant dans le contexte d’une époque qualifiée de conservatrice par nombre d’analystes, alors qu’elle est, dans bien des domaines, une époque de changements décisifs. […] Click here to read more.

This edited collection presents a wide-ranging survey of forced deportations by totalitarian regimes in Eastern Europe throughout the 20th century. _e chapters focus on deportation policies and practices among regimes in Romania, Ukraine, Albania, Hungary, Poland, Bulgaria, Greece, and the former U.S.S.R, collectively highlighting the long-term effects of these policies and their significance to contemporary societies in Eastern Europe. Deportation was a pervasive phenomenon, with socio-economic, demographic, and political implications that have structurally affected the shape and composition of contemporary European societies. Whether considering political repression, ideological clashes, social upheavals, territorial claims, ethnic cleansing, or conflicts within and between societies, deportation was a destabilizing factor across all aspects of twentiethcentury East European history.

This is the second volume in which Peter Raina presents the Blair government’s Devolution papers. Here, the focus shifts to Northern Ireland in the midst of the “Troubles” – a situation where discrimination and bigotry in a society divided by religious and national affiliations had erupted into hatred, violence and fear.
Tony Blair, his minister Mo Mowlam and a team of civil servants and others reached for American help and worked intensely with Gerry Adams, Leader of Sinn Fein, and with the government of the Republic in the South of Ireland to bring the warring factions together. Their efforts were concentrated into an astonishing single month.

In 1987 Tony Blair’s New Labour won a landslide victory in the British elections. To show it meant business, the new government immediately embarked on a major legislative programme, granting devolution to the outlying “Regions” joined with England in the UK. The cabinet papers concerned with this initiative have just been released, and Peter Raina is publishing them, with brief commentaries, in two volumes. This one concerns Scotland and Wales.
The papers show just how much interdepartmental work was involved in this comparatively modest exercise, and how dependent ministers were on the Civil Service and their legal teams. They also raise questions which have recently been much amplified. […] Click here to read more.
This compelling book delves deep into the intricate tapestry of Euro-Mediterranean politics and diplomacy, shedding light on the motivations that guided the actions of key political players from the 1980s to the Arab Spring. The author, on a challenging quest, identifies and interviews the very politicians and diplomats who shaped these relationships, uncovering a stark realism that superseded idealistic notions when crucial decisions were at stake. The author’s focus turns to Spain, and to a lesser extent, France, as they navigate the intricate web of Euro-Mediterranean politics to gain greater diplomatic influence, regional power, and strategic leadership within the European Union and the southern Mediterranean rim. They are portrayed as political brokers and entrepreneurs in the Mediterranean marketplace. […] Click here to read more.
Poland and Taiwan: two parts of the world distant from each other, differing culturally and socially, and yet facing kind of similar challenges in the late 1980s and early 1990s – characterised by the transition from an authoritarian political system to liberal democracy. This book seeks to present the process of democratisation of Poland and Taiwan from the point of view of shared perspectives. Invoking the classical literature of transitology, it is possible to explore similarities and differences between the democratisation of Poland and Taiwan among socioeconomic factors, fragmentation in society, political culture, meso- structures (e.g. political groups, social movements), political institutions, historical and nationalidentity aspects, and international influences.

Social & Cultural History
A panoramic, chronological account of the cultural history of the Cuban Revolution from 1959 to 2022, this book examines Cuban revolutionary culture and its control by the state. The book is conceived as a cultural history guidebook about one of the most significant and controversial historical events in Latin America in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, using the most relevant and up-to-date sources possible. Examining emblematic cultural events from different periods of the Cuban Revolution, the book is a chronological account of censorship and the control of culture, of how the Cuban state has controlled cultural production and distribution, and how artists and cultural producers have responded to and negotiated that control. The co-authors are renowned specialists in Cuban cultural themes both in Great Britain and in Cuba who have published widely on Cuban cultural issues over the last 15 years.
La situación predominante de la historia de la familia está consolidando la idea de que los principales cambios que caracterizan a la civilización occidental tuvieron su origen, primero, en el seno de las familias. Frente a la visión idílica familiar como un remanso de paz, queda patente que fueron muy frecuentes los conflictos, provocados por motivos muy diversos, donde ocupan un lugar preferente los relacionados con los patrimonios sucesorios, las emociones vinculas a etapas vitales concretas (las aspiraciones juveniles en tensión con sus ancestros maduros) y el reforzamiento del individuo. En este libro se analizan la influencia de las coyunturas políticas sobre estrategias y comportamientos familiares, las desavenencias en el seno de las familias en momentos decisivos del ciclo vital, los renovados espacios de domesticidad y la perdida de relieve de los valores con los que tradicionalmente habían venido organizándose las familias.
Die Existenz einer politischen, teilweise im Geheimen agierenden Polizei war in nachträglichen Bewertungen des napoleonischen „Modellstaats“ auf deutschem Boden für ehemalige Untertanen besonders relevant. Von der Forschung wurde zwar bisher die Diskrepanz zwischen Anspruch und Wirklichkeit der französischen Politik im Satellitenstaat ausgiebig bedacht, nicht aber die Rolle der staatlichen Polizei. Bei der vorliegenden Studie stehen die Akteure im napoleonisch regierten, aber selbstverwalteten Königreich Westphalen im Fokus – und damit das Aufeinandertreffen der Untertanen und Machtvollzieher im lokalen Raum. Zwang und Eigeninteresse, soziale Hintergründe, nationale Zugehörigkeit und Geschlecht prägten die Herrschaftsverhältnisse und Herrschaftspraktiken und deren emotionale Aufladung.

This edited collection sheds new light on the complex dialogue between religion and science which played out at universities in South-East Europe during the 19th and early 20th centuries. This discourse took place against a backdrop of great political, cultural, linguistic, and religious diversity, as well as the long-term transition from Habsburg rule to new nation states. The book’s contributors—an international team of scholars with a wide range of expertise—delve into a range of key questions, including the influence of political regimes on faculties of theology and implications for university autonomy, the role of theology as a science in defining the status of these faculties, and the development of science in the face of religious divisions. The book will appeal to readers interested in religious and […] Click here to read more.
“The collection holds significant value for graduate and postgraduate students, especially when studying the relationship between faith and science, the approach to theology as a science, and critical examination of specific dogmatic and ecumenical matters. The contributors to this volume provide insightful analyses on these topics, making it an indispensable resource for scholars seeking to enrich their understanding of these complex areas of inquiry.”

Die „Söl’ring Foriining“, 1905 gegründet und mit über 2.300 Mitgliedern Schleswig-Holsteins größter lokaler Heimatverein, hat ihr Tätigkeitsfeld im Lauf von über 100 Jahren mehrfach erweitert. Dieses Buch untersucht den Wandel im Vereinsleben und bietet einen Einblick in die vielfältigen Arbeitsbereiche der ersten Jahre. Basierend auf einem umfangreichen Bestand an Archivquellen stellt es die Gründungsumstände der „Söl’ring Foriining“ im Jahr 1905 dar, beleuchtet die angestrebten Ziele und zeigt, wie diese bis zum Ausbruch des Ersten Weltkriegs umgesetzt wurden.
This book presents several theoretical proposals about social and familial – but also political and cultural – change in Spain in the transition from the Ancien Régime to the modern age. The sociocultural reality of the Ancien Régime, based on inequality and privilege, is redefined through kinship and, both horizontal and vertical, social relations. In this way, the transition from the patriarchal to the conjugal family explains continuity and change in the context of new social relations that value individual merit, the accumulation of capital, and the decisive importance of feeling and emotion.

The book is the last volume of an extensive four-volume monograph devoted to the work of Cyprian Norwid (1821–1883), one of the most outstanding Polish authors. The impact of Norwid’s oeuvre does not fade, as he addresses fundamental and timeless issues, such as the moral and spiritual condition of man or his place in the world and history, and seeks to answer universal questions. The volume includes articles devoted to the analysis of selected sources and inspirations underlying Norwid’s work, as well as comparative texts tracing the manifestations of the commonality of thoughts and views connecting Norwid with the leading writers and artists of different periods. As a result, we received a multi-faceted image of an artist who, on the one hand, was strongly rooted in the tradition and modernity of Western European culture, and on the other, was characterized by great openness and sensitivity to otherness and cultural diversity.
The Industrial Revolution accelerated natural resource extraction, profoundly transforming European ecosystems. The present post-industrial scenarios clearly illustrate the deep interrelation between nature and culture, producing spaces known as “Anthropogenic Landscapes.”
This is book explores European industrial heritage, revealing the deep interconnection between human activities and the natural environment, thus redefining the concept of heritage. By integrating political and social perspectives, the book examines the connections between industrial heritage and contemporary environmental crises like climate change and soil and water pollution. It provides readers with the knowledge and tools necessary to interpret, manage, and promote industrial heritage from this specific environmental perspective. Inspired by practical cases in Belgium, Italy, Serbia, and Sweden, it also explores former industrial sites repurposed for cultural and recreational use, offering a comprehensive understanding of industrial heritage in the Anthropocene era.
Le philosophe Jürgen Habermas, âgé de 16 ans au moment de la défaite de l’Allemagne, dit avoir été confronté aux atrocités de la Guerre en suivant à la radio le Procès de Nuremberg, intenté contre les principaux responsables nazis. A la suite des révélations sur les crimes commis par l’Allemagne, il s’est juré de se battre pour que celle-ci ne rechute jamais dans un “post-fascisme”. Ce sera dans les décennies qui vont suivre le fi l rouge de l’engagement de politique de l’“intellectuel” Habermas, illustré par la quinzaine de recueils d’articles et d’écrits polémiques avec les intellectuels conservateurs qui constituent les Petits Ecrits Politiques. C’est cette oeuvre monumentale en 12 tomes de plus de 2500 pages que le présent ouvrage tente d’analyser systématiquement pour la première fois. Le souci lancinant qui caractérise cet “après-Auschwitz” va toutefois s’éroder après l’Unifi cation et sera relayé par l’engagement européen, voire mondialiste, de Habermas, toujours porté par la conviction que “le peuple est meilleur que ses politiciens”.

Die Beiträge des Sammelbands behandeln innovativ und vergleichend Fragen zu zeitgebundenen Phänomenen der periodischen Presse. Der zeitliche und mediale Rahmen spannt sich von Andreas Gryphius’ Perikopendichtung über Zeitschriften und Kalender sowie das im Mittelpunkt stehende Zeitungswesen des 18. Jahrhunderts bis zum Feuilletonroman des Vormärz. Geographisch liegt der Fokus auf Mitteleuropa, dessen periodisches Pressewesen im behandelten Zeitraum eine wesentliche Ausweitung und Differenzierung erfuhr. Vor allem die Berichterstattung wird im Hinblick auf zentrale Phänomene wie Nachrichtenübermittlung, Aktualität, Periodizität, Beschleunigung und Entschleunigung in ihren materiellen und immateriellen Dimensionen untersucht, aber auch Wissensvermittlung und Räsonnement sowie das Anzeigenwesen und Paratexte kommen ins Blickfeld. Soweit auffindbar, werden auch archivalische Quellen in die Analysen einbezogen. Im Dreischritt Produktion, Distribution und Rezeption dominiert die erste Etappe.
Ce livre étudie le parcours d’António Sardinha (1887-1925), maître à penser du mouvement monarchiste traditionaliste portugais de l’Intégralisme lusitanien, ainsi que polémiste prépondérant, mais controversé de la droite radicale portugaise du début du XXe siècle. À travers de nombreuses sources imprimées et archives privées, l’auteur propose une étude critique des principales idées qui se dégagent de l’oeuvre politique de Sardinha, en les situant dans leur contexte, avant de se pencher sur sa réfl exion concernant une possible alliance contrerévolutionnaire luso-espagnole, voire ibéro-américaine. Enfi n, l’ouvrage dresse le bilan de l’infl uence et de l’héritage intellectuels du penseur. Il démontre, d’une part, comment ses écrits ont marqué de leur empreinte la dictature de Salazar au Portugal, […] Click here to read more.
The armouries were among the most significant visual and symbolic manifestations of the nobility’s elevated social position, alongside palaces, chapels, cabinet rooms, and libraries. The study of Aristocratic Culture necessitates a focus on arms, reflecting the nobility’s traditional military function. Beyond the topic of arms and letters, understanding this distinct culture requires examining armouries as a critical interpretative key to social order and status. These served as demonstrations of a lineage’s antiquity, prestige, importance, and worth, playing a vital role in the visual performance of this dominant social stratum. This collection of essays provides the first panoramic view of this subject, developed within the Spanish and broader European contexts, addressing the content, uses, formation, chronology, meaning, and significance of such sets of objects.
Criticized as parsimonious and cruel in the later 1800s, the Poor Law for Scotland was first passed in 1845 as a frankly humanitarian measure in response to desperate poverty on display in Paisley and elsewhere in the early 1840s. Poor Law Inspector James Shaw Brown of Paisley Burgh Parish, a compassionate, detail-oriented bureaucrat, was charged with alleviating suffering while limiting expense. In his four-decade career he served the poor, the parochial board, and rate payers of the parish, weaving their conflicting needs and demands though the arcane rules of the law. Inspector Brown and colleagues across the nation interpreted and debated the meaning of the law in correspondence and the courts for decades before it approached its final form. This book delves into Inspector Brown’s life and records to reveal how poverty and the poor law shaped life experiences for tens of thousands of ordinary Scots in the middle years of the nineteenth century.
Diese Übersetzung folgt der zweiten Auflage von Olaudah Equianos Autobiographie von 1789. Equiano war einer der ersten Afrikaner, der selbst über sein Leben berichtet hat – dies sowohl als Versklavter wie später als ein freier Mann, der maßgeblich an der Bekämpfung des Sklavenhandels beteiligt war. Das Buch enthält eine ausführliche Einleitung, in der Informationen über die Versklavung und den Sklavenhandel vom 18. Jahrhundert bis heute diskutiert werden. Des Weiteren enthält sie Erläuterungen, die das Verständnis des Textes erleichtern, aber auch einen Einblick in die Literatur jener Zeit und die philosophische Diskussion zum Thema Versklavung und Rasse erlauben. Die deutsche Übersetzung versucht, dem Originalstil Equianos aus dem 18. Jahrhundert so genau wie möglich zu folgen. Dem Text selbst sind Anmerkungen hinzugefügt, die sowohl von Equiano als auch vom Übersetzer stammen und in denen weitere Stellen im Text kommentiert werden.

“Übersetzung und Einleitung erschließen den außerordentlichen Lebensbericht Olaudah Equianos klar und einfühlsam; gerade durch die Positionierung in den religiösen und politischen Bewegungen des 18. Jahrhunderts wird die Relevanz für das 21. Jahrhundert sichtbar. Ein wichtiges Buch!”
- Professor Heinrike Lähnemann, Chair of Medieval German Literature and Linguistics, University of Oxford
“In translating this work and prefacing it, Hans Hahn has made an important contribution to the German introspection about racism towards non-white people, which is indispensable to avoid what the Martinican poet Aime Cesaire described as the condemnation of Hitler not for ‚the crime against man‘, but only for ‚the crime against the white man‘.”
- Gilbert Achcar, Professor of Development Studies and International Relations at SOAS, University of London
Reinhart Koselleck concepisce la “Sattelzeit” come quel periodo storico compreso tra il 1750 e il 1850 che, trasformando il futuro nel luogo del progresso illimitato, segna definitivamente l’avvento della Modernità. Lo studio di Richard Häni dimostra che nel mondo culturale questa trasformazione si realizza nell’attuale penisola italiana al più tardi a partire dal Cinquecento.
L’autore, andando alla ricerca dei presupposti culturali della “Sattelzeit” koselleckiana, illustra in che modo Sperone Speroni, Benedetto Varchi, Giorgio Vasari e Giambattista Vico interpretarono la propria modernità, come essi percepirono l’antichità classica e più in generale in che modo intesero il rapporto fra antichi e moderni in relazione al progresso e al futuro delle arti, della letteratura e della filosofia italiana.
Medizinische Inhalte waren in der periodischen Presse stets vielfältig vertreten. Aus sozial- und wissenschaftshistorischer Perspektive nimmt das Buch Tages- und Wochenzeitungen ebenso in den Blick wie „klassische“ Rezensionsorgane, populäre Gesundheitszeitungen sowie Zeitschriften mit dezidiert wissenschaftlichem Anspruch. Anhand von vier geografisch und zeitlich gestreuten Fallstudien beleuchten die Autor*innen des Sammelbandes unterschiedliche Facetten der deutschsprachigen periodischen Presse Zentraleuropas im langen 19. Jahrhundert. Die Beispiele rekonstruieren die Entwicklung von Medien mit medizinischen Inhalten, ihre Entstehungs- und Erscheinungszusammenhänge, ihre Herausgeber sowie Praktiken der Wissensvermittlung.

This is the first comprehensive account of freemasonry in the Western world, written by two of the field’s foremost scholars. It embraces every country in the Americas, with a particular focus on the American experience. The authors devote significant attention to the Scottish origins of the lodges and their growth in the American colonies, against a backdrop of European imperialism and the emergence of democratic movements. Later they examine the story of freemasonry in the twentieth century, from its encounter with Nazism to its decline beginning in the 1960s. Future directions for the movement are also discussed. Along the way major figures in the movement are assessed: Benjamin Franklin, Alessandro Cagliostro, Giuseppe Garibaldi, […] Click here to read more.
“In this lucid and engaging survey, two of the world’s leading experts on the history of freemasonry explain how it shaped modern social and political cultures. The history of freemasonry can be bewildering, but Margaret Jacob and Maru Vázquez provide an authoritative and accessible overview which deftly disentangles the many different threads in the masonic story. This will be the definitive introduction to the history of freemasonry for many years to come.”

This edited volume offers the first overview on human-animal history in the Baltics. Investigating historical entanglements between human and non-human animals from the pre-Christian times to the Soviet period and discussing a wide range of species, the volume integrates transnational study of Baltic history and culture with interdisciplinary human-animal studies. Taking the interrelatedness of species as a premise, the contributions focus on a variety of contacts and their representations in written, material, visual and other sources of Baltic history. Covering a time period of nearly one thousand years, the chapters also make it possible to trace continuity and change in Baltic human-animal history over extended periods.
Der Band beschäftigt sich mit der historischen Entwicklung des Geschichtstourismus und thematisiert auch die Aufbereitung von Vergangenheit in konsumentenorientierten Geschichtsnarrativen. Dabei sind unterschiedliche Medien vor, während und im Nachgang der touristischen Reisen relevant. Überdies sind touristische Erwartungen zwischen Freizeitgestaltung und Bildungsinteressen von Bedeutung. Für einen nicht nur ökonomisch bestimmten, sondern auch nachhaltigen, zeitgemäßen Geschichtstourismus werden integrative und partizipative Modelle diskutiert. Konkretisiert werden derartige Überlegungen unter anderem für historischen Themenstraße und Grenzregionen.
In diesem wegweisenden Werk aus dem Bereich der Historischen Hilfswissenschaften erfolgt erstmals eine empirische Analyse von 1714 Pergament-Privaturkunden, die direkt vor Ort in regionalen Archiven zwischen Maas und Rhein sowie darüber hinaus untersucht wurden. Die Auswahl streut bewusst breit und ermöglicht so eine statistisch-elektronische Auswertung. Die Urkunden werden nach ihrem visuellen Auftritt – wie ein Plakat – sowohl manuell als auch elektronisch nach festgelegten Parametern untersucht. Diese induktive Methode konzentriert sich auf das Design und die ästhetische Präsentation der Dokumente statt auf ihren Textinhalt. Ein innovativer Ansatz, der die Ästhetik und Formgebung historischer Dokumente in den Vordergrund stellt und neue Perspektiven eröffnet.
Schwarze Deutsche, die in den 1950er und 1960er Jahren in Heimen aufwuchsen, sind in der deutschen Erinnerungskultur bislang unsichtbar. Ausgehend von dieser Leerstelle stehen in ÜberLebenswege die biografischen Erzählungen Schwarzer Deutscher im Mittelpunkt, die in den Jahren 1946 und 1949 geboren wurden und in bundesdeutschen Fürsorgeeinrichtungen aufgewachsen sind. Als nichteheliche Nachkomm*innen weißer deutscher Zivilistinnen und Schwarzer US-amerikanischer Besatzungssoldaten erlebten sie im postnationalsozialistischen Deutschland innerhalb und außerhalb von Heimen soziale Stigmatisierung und Rassismus. Vor diesem Hintergrund mussten die Frauen und Männer von frühester Kindheit an Überlebensstrategien entwickeln, um im Heim und in der Gesellschaft bestehen zu können. […] Click here to read more.

“ÜberLebenswege leistet einen wichtigen wissenschaftlich fundierten, sehr gut lesbaren Beitrag zur Geschichte der Deutschen Heimerziehung. Eindrücklich und lebensnah wird verdeutlicht, wie normativ staatliche Interventionen geprägt waren und leider noch immer sind. Eine wertvolle Lektüre auch um in den Themenfeldern Rassismus und Sexismus kritische Fragen an die Gegenwart zu stellen.”
- Prof. Dr. Thomas Gabriel, Leiter Institut für Kindheit, Jugend und Familie, ZHAW Zürcher Hochschule für Angewandte Wissenschaften
“An important contribution that will fill a considerable gap in the existing scholarship on Black Germans in postwar West Germany. ÜberLebenswege is the first book that is exclusively based on extensive interviews and Malanda is to be commended for a narrative that emphasizes the subjective experiences and interpretations of those she interviewed.”

When the World Turned Upside Down is a collection of 66 essays and opinion columns written between 2019 and 2022, a period of momentous—some unimaginable—developments in the United States and across the world. This book stands at the intersection of opinion journalism, history, and chronicling offering a dialogue between past and present (or present and past). They are, to use the often-quoted phrase, first drafts of history.
Over the past five years, the world has witnessed several “unimaginables” about which the author felt compelled to write. Some of the book’s essays identify, analyze, and connect parallels between the U.S. Antebellum and Civil War and the contemporary increasingly polarized context that reached an explosive peak during the 2020 elections and the violent attack on the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021.

“In When the World Turned Upside Down, Luis Martínez-Fernández demonstrates that he is not ‘merely’ an acclaimed historian, but an engaging, sharp-witted social commentator. This excellent collection of columns, written during and about what Martínez-Fernández rightly terms ‘the unimaginable events of 2019-2022,’ is dazzling for his easy, readable blend of history, sociology, popular culture, politics and more.”
- Jeff Robbins, Columnist, Boston Herald and Creators Syndicate
“Martínez-Fernández’s book reads like a series of missives from the front, capturing the drama of unfolding, often unpredictable, events. The author is a master story-weaver, drawing from the warp and weft of our national and global histories to reveal patterns in today’s events.”
- Suzette Martinez Standring, Author of The Art of Column Writing
“Professor Martínez-Fernández fuses the perspective of a historian with a journalist’s eye on wide-ranging contemporary events. The result is an exhilarating read and a broader understanding of today’s world.”

Discourse, both scholarly and popular, around the Jews of Ireland has increased in recent years and this volume of essays takes up the challenge of placing it within the framework of Jewish historiography and the study of Jewish history and culture. The focus of the volume is to provide a critical re-evaluation of the study of Irish Jews looking at key areas such as Irish Jewish historiography, communal traditions, antisemitism, nationalism (Jewish and Irish) and representations in popular media. Underlying the contributions is the desire to reassess the ways in which traditional scholarship and representation of Irish Jews have been shaped by uninterrogated narratives and a lack of understanding and sensitivity to the context of Jewish history and the Jewish experience.

Beautifully curated by Zuleika Rodgers and Natalie Wynn, it brings together the best of recent scholarship, covering history, politics, literature and everyday life. Taken together these essays show the complexity of both the Irish Jewish experience and responses to them.”

“A refreshingly nuanced exploration of perceptions and self-perceptions of Irish Jews. The authors interrogate political, religious, economic, social and cultural discourses from the eighteenth century to contemporary times to unravel less-familiar expressions of antisemitism, alongside occasional philosemitism, and offer critical insights on the many reimaginations of Christian Ireland’s long-standing migrant Other minority.”

Issus des conflits mémoriels de la société française d’aprèsguerre, les musées de la Résistance sont désormais des acteurs de premier plan dans la mise en valeur de l’héritage et l’animation culturelle. Étudier le rôle des musées en tant que médiateurs entre le passé, le présent et l’avenir est l’axe central de ce travail qui repose sur les recherches des principaux experts français et allemands. La présente étude ne se penche pas seulement sur l’exposition – au coeur de la médiation muséale – mais aussi sur l’ensemble de cette institution complexe. L’analyse des mises en récit, en scène et en espace du passé révèle le positionnement des musées par rapport à l’histoire de la Résistance, mais aussi leur vision de l’avenir de la mémoire et leur idée de la démocratie et des valeurs humanistes.

Searching for the Origins of the Portuguese Waltzes is a collection of narratives depicting a six-year quest to discover the roots of a piece of traditional music played in St. John’s, Newfoundland: the Portuguese Waltzes. Through interviews, research, and observations, author Richard Simas explores the relationship between Portuguese bacalhoeiros (cod fishermen) and the population of St. John’s during the recent cod-fishing era (approximately 1950 to 1980). Memory, and its varying interpretation among different communities, is a major underlying theme. Above all, though, this is a book about music, shared, invented, and improvised, underscoring the power of melody to capture and conserve emotional memory across the Atlantic.
La création de l’Organisation internationale du travail (OIT) en 1919 est un moment majeur dans l’histoire sociale. Cette institution à vocation universelle se place dans la continuité d’expérimentations et de réflexions menées, depuis le XIXe siècle, par les puissances industrielles d’Europe occidentale. Ces dernières devaient alors faire face à un triple défi: l’émergence des puissances du Nouveau monde, comme les Etats-Unis, les conflits avec les travailleurs, et la crainte de dumping social. Elles élaborèrent donc un cadre social inspiré de pratiques européennes, et devant servir de modèle à l’ensemble du monde. Ce régionalisme européen, défendu par les puissances industrialisées du Vieux continent, en tête desquelles la France, influença durablement les réflexions de l’OIT. […] Click here to read more.
Dieses Buch bietet einen umfassenden Überblick über die Geschichte der LGBTIQ* Communities seit den 1970er Jahren, vornehmlichim deutschsprachigen bzw. österreichischen Raum. Neben der diskursanalytischen Darstellung einer gesamtgesellschaftlichen Entwicklung im Kontext sexualitätsbezogener Themen seit den 1970er Jahren bietet dieses Werk durch zahlreiche LGBTIQ* Erfahrungsberichte einen Einblick in die vielfältigen und teils ambivalenten Lebenserfahrungen. Es erzählt die Geschichten aus lebensweltlicher Perspektive und diskutiert die Einbindung in den öffentlichen Diskurs sowie in soziale, politische und rechtliche Strukturen aus einer queer denkenden Sichtweise. Im Zentrum dieses Buches steht die vielfältige Welt der LGBTIQ* Gemeinschaften – von Alltagserfahrungen, persönlichen Herausforderungen und dem Streben nach Gleichheit bis hin zu den Erfolgen im Kampf um Anerkennung und Akzeptanz.
Cet ouvrage résume un itinéraire scientifique fondé sur une thématique originale, l’évolution d’une vallée et des villes riveraines de la Meuse en partant de l’étude du fleuve. Celle-ci repose sur des échelles spatiales et chronologiques à la mesure de la nature, le temps long et de larges espaces. Elle s’appuie sur les données de l’archéologie et de la géographie, afin d’envisager tous les sujets qui touchent à la rivière: le cours d’eau lui-même, les bateaux, les techniques de navigation, les “infrastructures fluviales”.
Ces analyses enrichissent des problématiques plus vastes les pouvoirs, des questions relatives à l’économie ou à la vie sociale. Cet autre regard, sans cloisonnements, cette grande diversité de thématiques […] Click here to read more.
Russian culture has often been referred to as a culture of discontinuity and abrupt rifts, and the country’s past was frequently revised and rewritten, so much so that it is hardly possible to speak of Russian culture as a homogeneous, unified whole. Every turn of Russian history was accompanied by a great cultural upheaval and facilitated fierce cultural debates. The destiny of Russia in the context of its geopolitical position and its cultural role on both domestic and international fronts have been fundamental to these debates. At the same time, such discussions always went deeper, and invariably acquired an existential dimension, probing into the human condition, into the “cursed questions of existence”.
This volume brings together diverse contributions from an international team of scholars, asking what has sustained Russian cultural development across […] Click here to read more.

May ’68 has inspired cultural, social and political movements across the world but has been used also to criticise them. This book interrogates the consideration of the revolts in France as the pinnacle or even paradigm of a particular avatar in a revolutionary lineage that would include the liminal moments of 1789 and 1917. But it also engages in a mapping of the synchronous but not necessarily aligned rebellious events and purported legacies that orbited around that momentous year in the West and its internal periphery, on the other side of the Iron Curtain and in the strategic centre of the Global South constituted by Latin America in the 1960s. The collection combines fresher perspectives with more established scholarship in history, philosophy, critical theory, literary studies, psychoanalysis and visual culture through which the contributors deconstruct the rich and paradoxical conditions, development and vestiges, as creative as well as troubling, of an iconic moment of the twentieth century.
Die kritische Auseinandersetzung mit dem Nationalsozialismus an deutschen Universitäten setzte nicht erst mit der Studentenbewegung von ’68 ein. Schon Mitte der 1960er Jahre forderten Tübinger Studierende, inspiriert durch Persönlichkeiten wie Hermann Gremliza, eine Konfrontation mit der NS-Vergangenheit der akademischen Lehrkräfte. Die Antwort der Universität Tübingen auf diesen Druck war die Ringvorlesung „Deutsches Geistesleben und Nationalsozialismus“ (1964/65), die weit über die Stadtgrenzen hinaus Beachtung fand und den lange herrschenden Schweigekonsens innerhalb der westdeutschen Hochschullandschaft brach. In seinem Werk beleuchtet Bastian Wade diese entscheidende Phase der „Vergangenheitspolitik im Hörsaal“, die nicht nur Spuren in der Bundesrepublik hinterließ, sondern auch die Grenzen und Möglichkeiten der akademischen Aufarbeitung von Schuld aufzeigte. Durch eine detaillierte Analyse der damaligen Akteure und Rahmenbedingungen bietet Wade einen neuen Blick auf eine bisher wenig beachtete Facette der deutschen Nachkriegsgeschichte.
As a small community located on the peripheries of Europe and of the Jewish world, Ireland’s Jewish community is something of an outlier and is often portrayed as having a unique history or being quaint or quirky in character. This book challenges this narrative by contextualizing Irish Jewry as a community that has been defined by the experience and mythology of Jewish mass migration. This book charts the history of Ireland’s Jewish community at a time of rapid growth and cultural, political and social transition, from British rule to Irish independence, exploring the relationship between Jews, Irish society and Irish Jewish communal tradition. Key themes include arrival and settlement; the dynamics between “native” and immigrant Jews; acculturation and hybridity; intracommunal conflict; gender; and Jewish/non-Jewish relations.
“Natalie Wynn has written a definitive account of Irish Jewish history in the period of mass migration at the turn of the twentieth century. She unravels the myths—such as accidental arrival from eastern Europe, or untroubled social mobility as a model minority—which have hitherto characterized Irish Jews. Community, Identity, Conflict moves from detailed studies of local communities (Belfast, Dublin, Cork, Limerick) to the metropolitan and colonial contexts of minority formation. As Dr Wynn adeptly shows, the everyday ambivalence towards minorities in Irish culture is a centuries-old history which is still present today. Her meticulous and compelling study will be of value to Irish studies, Jewish studies, and anyone interested in the life experience of refugees.”
- Bryan Cheyette, Emeritus Professor, University of Reading, and author of The Ghetto: A Very Short Introducti on (2020)
“Natalie Wynn has produced an outstanding contribution to the relevant literature. It dismantles established myths and opens up the field of Irish Jewish studies with a fresh, innovative interpretation, which sets new standards in scholarship.”
- Eugenio Biagini, Professor of Modern and Contemporary History, University of Cambridge
Theory & Methods of History
This book develops the challenges that history teaching must face as a curricular subject at the beginning of the 21st century. These challenges are related, both to new epistemological approaches in history education, and also to the development of new activities, active-learning methodologies, and historical thinking competencies. In terms of new approaches, this book suggests activities regarding invisible topics such as social and economic impacts in history, inequalities, church and science, gender equality, power and violence, prosecuted by justice, peasantry and the urban world, family and daily life, terror or travelers and their cross-currents. Regarding the activities, the incidence of new technologies in social relations and […] Click here to read more.

Die Neuordnung des preußischen Gymnasiums im 19. Jahrhundert stellte eine unvergleichliche Reform dar. Durch seine Einheitsschule für höhere Bildung, sorgfältige staatliche Überwachung und beständige Bildungsprinzipien erlangte es anerkannten Erfolg. Von entscheidender Bedeutung waren die Lehrkräfte: Sie stammten oft aus nicht-akademischen Verhältnissen, doch ihre wissenschaftliche Kompetenz und hingebungsvolle Berufsverpflichtung waren unumstritten. Diese Studie analysiert die Perspektiven, Qualifikationen und soziale Herkunft der Lehrer sowie ihre Integration in das Gymnasiumssystem. Zusätzlich wird die Interpretation zeitgenössischer Veränderungen und die politischen Visionen der Lehrkräfte beleuchtet. Als Hauptquelle dienen die wertvollen und oft übersehenen Jahresberichte der Gymnasien („Schulprogramme“).

Das zeigt sich in etablierten Institutionen wie Museen ebenso wie in den Sozialen Medien, virtuellen Zeitreisen und historischen Computerspielen oder auf Lernplattformen für den Geschichtsunterricht. Wer den gegenwärtigen Geschichtsboom verstehen möchte, kommt also an einer Auseinandersetzung mit digitalen Repräsentationen von Geschichte nicht vorbei. Der Band stellt deshalb unterschiedliche Forschungsansätze zur interdisziplinären Erkundung der vielfältigen Phänomene digitaler Public History zur Diskussion. Die Beiträge nähern sich dem Gegenstand auf theoretischer und methodischer Ebene, stellen exemplarische Fallanalysen vor und erörtern die Potenziale historischen Lernens in digitalen Räumen.

Kaiser Friedrich II. und sein Astrologe Michael Scotus haben vor allem die deutsche Forschung seit Generationen fasziniert. Allerdings steht das Ausmaß der Faszination oft im umgekehrten Verhältnis zu gesichertem Wissen. Dieses Buch unternimmt im ersten Teil den Versuch einer Neubewertung der bekannten Quellen, während der zweite Teil paradigmatisch den Liber de signis et imaginibus celi untersucht, jenen illustrierten astrologischen Traktat also, der neben dem Liber Physionomie Michaels erfolgreichstes Werk darstellt und im Laufe der Jahrhunderte immer wieder abgeschrieben, übersetzt und in textlichen wie bildlichen Auszügen tradiert wurde – und der hier erstmalig ediert und übersetzt ist.

Dieses Glossar bündelt die sprachlichen Besonderheiten der städtischen Kultur des Mittelalters erstmals in zentraler Form. Hierbei wird das Siedlungsphänomen Stadt in vierfacher Hinsicht definiert und erschlossen: Hinsichtlich seiner Rechtsnatur und Verfassung, seiner architektonischen Gestaltung, der Wahrnehmung zentralörtlicher Funktionen sowie seiner sozialen Gruppen und Strukturen. Das Untersuchungsgebiet umfaßt die Städte des mittelalterlichen Reichsgebiets in seiner gesamten Ausdehnung diesseits der Alpen. Erfaßt werden sowohl die mittellateinischen als auch die mittelhoch- und mittelniederdeutschen Vokabeln, die zudem durch aussagekräftige Zitate in den Kontext eingebunden werden.

Was war die Hanse? Ein Städtebund? Diese Untersuchungen betrachten die „Städtehanse“ unter einem neuen Aspekt und kommen zu einer anderen Antwort auf diese seit hundert Jahren strittige Frage. Im Mittelpunkt stehen die Ratsherren, die als Delegierte Städte auf dem Hansetag vertraten und die hansische Politik bestimmten. Es zeigt sich, dass diese Herren nicht an erster Stelle auf die Interessen einer Stadt verpflichtet waren. Sie waren verwandtschaftlich und geschäftlich mit führenden Kaufleuten und Ratsherren in anderen Städten verbunden. Auf Hansetagen trafen sie enge Geschäftspartner und Verwandte wie Cousins, Schwäger, Onkel oder sogar Brüder, die als Delegierte anderer Städte auftraten. Die (handelspolitischen) Interessen dieser städteübergreifenden Netze vertraten die Delegierten auf den Versammlungen. Auf Hansetagen wurden die unterschiedlichen Netze immer wieder zum Netzwerk Hanse verbunden.

Cultural History and Literary Imagination
EDITED BY CHRISTIAN J. EMDEN AND DAVID MIDGLEY
This series promotes critical inquiry into the relationship between the literary imagination and its cultural, intellectual or political contexts. The series encourages the investigation of the role of the literary imagination in cultural history and the interpretation of cultural history through literature, visual culture and the performing arts.
Contributions of a comparative or interdisciplinary nature are particularly welcome. Individual volumes might, for example, be concerned with any of the following:
• The mediation of cultural and historical memory,
• The material conditions of particular cultural manifestations,
• The construction of cultural and political meaning,
• Intellectual culture and the impact of scientific thought,
• The methodology of cultural inquiry,
• Intermediality,
• Intercultural relations and practices.

Cultural Memories
EDITED BY KATIA PIZZI
Cultural Memories is the publishing project of the Centre for the Study of Cultural Memory at the Institute of Languages, Cultures and Societies, University of London. The Centre is international in scope and promotes innovative research with a focus on interdisciplinary approaches to memory.
This series supports the Centre by furthering original research in the global field of cultural memory studies. In particular, it seeks to challenge a monumentalizing model of memory in favour of a more fluid and heterogeneous one, where history, culture and memory are seen as complementary and intersecting. The series embraces new methodological approaches, encompassing a wide range of technologies of memory in cognate fields, including comparative studies, cultural studies, history, literature, media and communication, and cognitive science. The aim of Cultural Memories is to encourage and enhance research in the broad field of memory studies while, at the same time, pointing in new directions, providing a unique platform for creative and forward-looking scholarship in the discipline.

Eastern European Culture, Politics and Societies
EDITED BY IRENA GRUDZIŃSKA-GROSS
The series Eastern European Cultures, Politics and Societies is devoted to the social issues that have been shaping the life of the post-communist European sphere. The specificity of the region and its continuous exposure to radical changes makes it a fascinating object of study. This is one of the reasons it attracts excellent researchers and writers. We published books by historians, sociologists, anthropologists, and literary, feminist and cultural scholars. We are planning to continue this interdisciplinary, cutting-edge work.

Euroclio
ÉDITÉ PAR ERIC BUSSIÈRE, MICHEL DUMOULIN, ANTONIO VARSORI ET LAURENT WARLOUZET
“Euroclio” est un projet scientifique et éditorial, un réseau d’institutions de recherche et de chercheurs, un forum d’idées. “Euroclio”, en tant que projet éditorial, comprend deux versants : le premier versant concerne les études et documents, le second versant les instruments de travail. L’un et l’autre visent à rendre accessibles les résultats de la recherche, mais également à ouvrir des pistes en matière d’histoire de la construction/intégration/unification européenne.
La collection “Euroclio” répond à un double objectif : offrir des instruments de travail, de référence, à la recherche ; offrir une tribune à celle-ci en termes de publication des résultats. La collection comprend donc deux séries répondant à ces exigences : la série “Études et Documents” et la série “Références”. Ces deux séries s’adressent aux bibliothèques générales et/ou départements d’histoire des universités, aux enseignants et chercheurs, et dans certains cas, à des milieux professionnels bien spécifiques.

Histoire & Sociétés / History & Societies
ÉDITÉ PAR ALAIN PROVOST
La collection Histoire & Sociétés est adossée au Centre de Recherche et d’Études Histoire et Sociétés (CREHS) de l’université d’Artois (Arras, France). Elle accueille des ouvrages de recherche en histoire qui s’inscrivent dans l’un ou plusieurs des trois champs privilégiés du CREHS : l’histoire de l’éducation, c’està-dire celle des institutions scolaires et universitaires, des élèves et des professionnels de l’enseignement en Europe ; l’histoire des identités religieuses de l’Antiquité à nos jours en Europe ; l’histoire des patrimoines, des territoires matériels et immatériels qui les accueillent et de l’économie qui les fait vivre.
La collection est ouverte à tout auteur, qu’il soit membre du CREHS ou non, sous réserve qu’il satisfasse à la ligne éditoriale. Les ouvrages publiés au sein de la collection peuvent être des monographies, des ouvrages collectifs ou des éditions scientifiques de documents. Ils s’adressent aux chercheurs, aux enseignants, aux étudiants et, plus largement, à tous les publics amateurs d’histoire intéressés par le passé de nos sociétés.

Imagining Black Europe
EDITED BY TIFFANY N. FLORVIL AND VANESSA D. PLUMLY
This series seeks to publish critical and nuanced scholarship in the field of Black European Studies. Moving beyond and building on the Black Atlantic approach, books in this series will underscore the existence, diversity and evolution of Black Europe. They will provide historical, intersectional and interdisciplinary perspectives on how Black diasporic peoples have reconfigured the boundaries of Black identity making, claim making and politics; created counterdiscourses and counterpublics on race, colonialism, postcolonialism and racism; and forged transnational connections and solidarities across Europe and the globe. The series will also illustrate the ways that Black European diasporic peoples have employed intellectual, socio-political, artistic/cultural, affective, digital and pedagogical work to aid their communities and causes, challenge their exclusion and cultivate ties with their allies, thus gaining recognition in their societies and beyond.

Interdisciplinary Studies on Central and Eastern Europe
EDITED BY NICOLAS HAYOZ, JENS HERLTH AND JULIA RICHERS
This series focuses on the political, economic and cultural changes in Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union. It offers a platform for inter-disciplinary research on this multifaceted part of the world. The focus lies mainly on current and recent developments in societies and political systems; but research on cultural and historical backgrounds has its place here, too. The range of disciplines includes political science, history, and social anthropology, but also philosophy, cultural studies, and literary criticism. The articles are written in English.

Studies in Contemporary History
EDITED BY MACHTELD VENKEN AND DARIUSZ STOLA
Reconsidering the Cold War historiography’s focus on high politics, conflict and confrontation, this series encourages the development of new research that explores ties and similarities transcending the political divide in Europe. It also welcomes new approaches to the history of Central and East European societies under dictatorships: approaches which shed light on individual and collective agency and show high politics as only one of several factors of change.
Research in contemporary history still often mentally maps Europe as divided into a West and an East. This overemphasizes barriers between people who often shared similar values and tastes, practices and technologies, between interrelated social phenomena or just neighboring regions. In a similar way, narratives of Central and Eastern Europe often tend to reflect a simplistic vision centered on the conflict between the “regime” and “society”. This overemphasizes the role of crude domination and hinders understanding of the reproduction, evolution and normalization of European communist regimes up to 1989. We seek contributions that employ approaches from history, especially those which integrate insights gained from neighboring disciplines, such as sociology, anthropology, political science, or cultural and gender studies. Discussions of comparative and transnational perspectives are particularly welcome.

Studies in History, Memory and Politics
EDITED BY BARBARA KLICH-KLUCZEWSKA
Bis Band 45 wurde die Reihe von Anna Wolff-Poweska und Piotr Forecki unter dem Titel “Geschichte – Erinnerung – Politik. Studies in History, Memory and Politics” herausgegeben.
Die Schriftenreihe umfasst Publikationen, die sich im weitesten Sinn mit Erinnerungskultur aus polnischer Perspektive befassen. Der Umbruch von 1989/90 hat eine Zäsur geschaffen, die eine Verifikation der Bilder von unserer eigenen Geschichte und von der Geschichte der Beziehungen der Polen zu ihren Nachbarn ermöglicht.
Mit der Serie wird das Ziel verfolgt, dem Leserpublikum die Leistungen einer ganzen Reihe von wissenschaftlichen Disziplinen vor Augen zu führen, u. a. der Geschichtswissenschaft, der Soziologie, der Anthropologie, der Kulturwissenschaft, der Literaturwissenschaft, der Politikwissenschaft und der Philosophie, also Disziplinen, die mit den Bedingungen der kollektiven Erinnerung, mit den Strategien und Formen der Erinnerung an die Vergangenheit, mit den Medien als Trägern des Gedenkens (Museen, Denkmäler, Kunst, Literatur), mit der Geschichtspolitik sowie mit Symbolen und Erinnerungsritualen (dem Begehen historischer Jubiläen und Gedenktage) zu tun haben.

OPEN ACCESS
WE MAKE ACADEMIC RESEARCH ACCESSIBLE WITH OVER 2,000 OPEN ACCESS TITLES
Depending on their needs, authors can choose from various Open Access options. All Open Access models benefit from our marketing, distribution, and data management services. Choose Open Access Publishing and benefit from the advantages.
Accessibility: Research becomes freely available digitally as soon as it is published (OA Gold), while the print version will also be made available for sale.
Discoverability: Open Access publications gain more views, citations and downloads than publications with restricted access.
Compliance: Funding institutions are increasingly demanding that authors publish Open Access. A Creative Commons license enables authors to easily comply with further institutional requirements.
