    Dynamics of Architecture in Late Baroque Rome. Cardinal Pietro Ottoboni at the Cancelleria (2021)
    De Gruyter
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-03-25
    Description: This is the first study to characterize the architectural patronage of Cardinal Pietro Ottoboni (1667-1740), and to identify twelve architects during his half century of patronage in his Ecclesiastical court of the Cancelleria. Most eminent among them were Filippo Juvarra and Domenico Gregorini. Commercial and private theaters in the palace are located from archival data, room measurements, drawings, diary accounts, Correspondence of the French Academy, and palimpsests of architectural details. The size, shape, appearance, capacity, and location of Filippo Juvarra's theater are discussed. Archival documents are cited to reveal why, how, and when it vanished. Detailed analysis is devoted to Juvarra's stage construction with its elaborate sets and moving apparatus. In his official function as Vice-Chancellor of the Church, it is well known that Ottoboni was positioned as a major patron of music, theater, and painting in late Baroque Rome. He was a librettist for oratorios performed by his resident composer, Arcangelo Corelli, and by Alessandro Scarlatti in venues in the palace, and in his basilica of San Lorenzo in Damaso, located in the palace grounds. His resident painters included Francesco Trevisani and Sebastiano Conca. He completed the construction of Bernini's Confessione in the nave of his basilica. As the sponsor of the Arcadian Academy, Ottoboni dictated taste in Roman cultural circles. His involvement in the competition for the façade of St. John Lateran is amplified. A grand overview is provided for the cardinal's commission of devotional machine constructed to rival the Lenten carnivals. As ephemeral constructions, and normally ignored liturgical phenomena, these are explored in detail for the first time. Edward J. Olszewski, Case Western Reserve University, Cleveland, Ohio, U.S.A.

    Why Do We Do What We Do? Motivation in History and the Social Sciences (2021)
    De Gruyter
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-03-25
    Description: Why we do what we do is a matter of great interest to everyone, and everyone seems to have had their say about it – philosophers, sociologists, anthropologists, psychologists, economists, and historians perhaps the most, case by case. Occasionally the specialists have offered their ideas to a general readership, but mostly they prefer to speak to and with their fellows in their particular disciplines. To evaluate and compare their findings in a cross-disciplinary way is now for the first time attempted, by Ramsay MacMullen. Emeritus history professor from Yale University, he is the recipient of various academic awards, including a lifetime Award for Scholarly Distinction from the American Historical Association.

    The Arts and Crafts of Literacy. Islamic Manuscript Cultures in Sub-Saharan Afric (2021)
    De Gruyter
    Details
    Publication Date: 2023-12-20
    Description: During the last two decades, the (re-)discovery of thousands of manuscripts in different regions of sub-Saharan Africa has questioned the long-standing approach of Africa as a continent only characterized by orality and legitimately assigned to the continent the status of a civilization of written literacy. However, most of the existing studies mainly aim at serving literary and historical purposes, and focus only on the textual dimension of the manuscripts. This book advances on the contrary a holistic approach to the study of these manuscripts and gather contributions on the different dimensions of the manuscript, i.e. the materials, the technologies, the practices and the communities involved in the production, commercialization, circulation, preservation and consumption. The originality of this book is found in its methodological approach as well as its comparative geographic focus, presenting studies on a continental scale, including regions formerly neglected by existing scholarship, provides a unique opportunity to expand our still scanty knowledge of the different manuscript cultures that the African continent has developed and that often can still be considered as living traditions.

    Chora und Polis (2021)
    De Gruyter
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-03-25
    Description: Der Schwerpunkt der althistorischen wie der archäologischen Forschung lag bis vor kurzem auf der Geschichte der Stadt das sie umgebende Land, die Chora blieb hingegen im Dunklen. Daher sind hinsichtlich des antiken Landlebens immer noch grundsätzliche Fragen zu klären: Wie sahen die ländlichen Siedlungs-, Sozial- und Wirtschaftsstrukturen aus? War die antike Wirtschaft im Wesentlichen Subsistenzwirtschaft oder doch eher marktorientiert? Wie lassen sich die demographischen Verhältnisse fassen? Neue Forschungsansätze widmen sich der administrativen Organisation der Chora, ihrer Kult-Topographie, den nicht-agrarischen Funktionen ländlicher Siedlungen und vor allem einer detailliertere Analyse der agrarischen Aktivitäten und Produktivität. Die in diesem Band versammelten Beiträge spiegeln darüber hinaus grundsätzliche methodische Diskussionen. Sie fragen danach, welche Bedeutung Untersuchungen der Oberflächen von Siedlungsgebieten haben und welche Möglichkeiten die so genannten Surveys bieten.Beiträge von:John Bintliff, Michéle Brunet, Joseph C.

    Monumental Polovtsian Statues in Eastern Europe. The Archaeology, Conservation and Protection (2021)
    De Gruyter
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-03-25
    Description: Stone statues, indigenous to the early Turks, appeared in the vast territory of the Asian steppes, from Southern Siberia to Central Asia and across the foothills of the Ural Mountains. The custom originated among Cumans in Eastern Europe. The skill of erecting anthropomorphic stelae required proficiency in processing different kinds of stone and wood, and was characterized by artistic value of representations, as well as by the timeless aesthetics of the canon. The author presents the results of her formative studies into the collection of the Cuman sculptures of the Veliko-Anadol Forest Museum, Ukraine. The book delves into the history of research on Cuman stone stelae, resulting in great reading for all archeologists and historians alike.

    The Well-Being of Children. Philosophical and Social Scientific Approaches (2021)
    De Gruyter
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-03-25
    Description: This volume explores the questions related to the theory, practice, and policy of the well-being and well-becoming of children. It does so in a truly interdisciplinary way with a focus on the social sciences and philosophy, giving therefore justice to the growing insight that studying and promoting the well-being of children has a strong ethical component. It is dependent on the questions of good life, its conditions and cannot be separated from the concept of social justice and moral entitlements of children and their families. In this book, philosophers and social scientists, in close dialogue, shed light on some of the most challenging matters involved.

    Pioneers of Zionism: Hess, Pinsker, Rülf Messianism, Settlement Policy, and the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict (2021)
    De Gruyter
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-03-25
    Description: The emerging Jewish national consciousness in Europe toward the end of the 19th century claims many spiritual fathers, some of which have been seriously underestimated so far. Zionist intellectuals such as Moses Hess, Leon Pinsker and Isaac Rülf were already committed to the self-liberation of the Jewish people long before Theodor Herzl. Their experiences and observations brought them to believe that the emancipation and integration of Jews were not realistically possible in Europe. Instead, they began to think in national and territorial terms. The author explores the question as to what extent religious messianism influenced the ideas of these men and how this reflects in today's collective Israeli consciousness. In a comprehensive epilogue, Julius H. Schoeps critically correlates ideas of messianic salvation, Zionist pioneer ideals, the settler's movement before and after 1967, and the unsolved conflict between Israelis and Palestinians which has been lasting for over 100 years.

    Fractured Modernity. America Confronts Modern Times, 1890s to 1940s (2021)
    De Gruyter
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-03-25
    Description: The ten essays in this volume deal with the debates and conflicts about modernity in a period of American history when the tensions and strains caused by seemingly unrestrained change and the reactions to it were particularly severe and tangible. Partly concentrating on the margins or dark underworlds of modernity, such as racism and violence, partly focusing on the allegedly unlimited space to negotiate and create social order from scratch, the contributions to this volume show that, and discuss why, modernity was an issue in contemporary United States which seemed to have been even more hotly contested than in Europe at the same time, albeit sometimes in terms of Americanism rather than modernism. In this book, European scholars of the United States apply variations on the transnational discourse on modernity to unexpected dimensions of U.S. history, making this volume a fascinating example of the present-day enterprise of internationalizing American studies.

    Social Reform, Modernization and Technical Diplomacy. The ILO Contribution to Development (1930–1946) (2021)
    De Gruyter
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-03-25
    Description: Founded in 1919 under the Treaty of Versailles as part of the League of Nations’ system, the ILO is still today the main organization responsible for the international organization of work and the improvement of working conditions in the world. Widely recognized for its efforts in building international labour standards, the ILO remains little studied by development specialists and historians. This book intends to fill this gap and traces the history of international development and its early pioneers, through an analysis of the activities of the International Labour Office, the Secretariat of the International Labour Organization, between 1930 and 1946. In this book, development is used as a key to questioning the ILO's place and function in the expanding inter-war world. The development practices and discourses that emerged in the 1930s were mainly intended to support the ILO's universalization strategy, which was made necessary by the events that shook Europe at the time. Development discourses and practices were also part of the esprit du temps, as they were closely linked to the affirmation of the planist and rationalist ideas of the 1930s. However, development for the ILO was not reduced to a project of economic modernization, but was seen as a tool for social engineering, as evidenced by the ILO's missions of technical assistance, organized since 1930. The analysis of the expertise work makes it possible to highlight the logics that prevailed in technical assistance, which was more in line with institutional objectives, than with the dissemination of a genuine expertise. This book therefore hopes to bring new insight on the history of internationalism, and international organizations during the inter-war period and the Second World War, as well as on the role of the ILO in the history of international development thinking and practices.

    The Concept of Constitution in the History of Political Thought (2021)
    De Gruyter
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-03-25
    Description: The aim of the present volume is to discuss the notion of constitution from the perspectives of history of political thought. Its scholarly intention is to go beyond the approach concentrating on the formal understanding of constitution and bring forward more complex historical and philosophic-political interpretations. Our point of departure was the need to revive the somehow neglected distinction between the idea of constitution as an act of conscious law-giving activity and the notion of constitution conceived as the set of fundamental political rules derived from the very nature of political regime and its historical development.

    Spatial analysis and social spaces. Interdisciplinary approaches to the interpretation of prehistoric and historic built environments (2021)
    De Gruyter
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-03-25
    Description: In the past decade a range of formal spatial analysis methods has been developed for the study of human engagement, experience and socialisation within the built environment. Many, although not all, of these emanate from the fields of architectural and urban studies, and draw upon social theories of space that lay emphasis on the role of visibility, movement, and accessibility in the built environment. These approaches are now gaining in popularity among researchers of prehistoric and historic built spaces and are given increasingly more weight in the interpretation of past urban environments. Spatial Analysis and Social Spaces brings together contributions from specialists in archaeology, social theory, and urban planning who explore the theoretical and methodological frameworks associated with the application of new and established spatial analysis methods in past built environments. The focus is mainly on more recent computer-based approaches and on techniques such as access analysis, visibility graph analysis, isovist analysis, agent-based models of pedestrian movement, and 3D visibility approaches. The contributors to this volume examine the relationship between space and social life from many different perspectives, and provide illuminating examples from the archaeology of Greece, Italy and Cyprus, in which intra-site analysis offers valuable insights into the built spaces and societies under study.

    The Purpose of the First World War. War Aims and Military Strategies (2021)
    De Gruyter
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-03-25
    Description: Ten million soldiers died during the First World War. But why, and for what reason? The Great War is widely seen as a pointless carnage (Pope Benedict XV). Was there a point, at least in the eyes of the political and military decision makers? International specialists analyse the hopes and expectations of the political and military leaders and try to explain why the contemporaries thought that they had to fight the Great War.

    Population Dynamics in Prehistory and Early History. New Approaches Using Stable Isotopes and Genetics (2021)
    De Gruyter
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-03-25
    Description: Migrations and population dynamics are considered very problematic topics in the fields of ancient studies. Recent scholarship in (pre)historical population has generated new impulses by using scientific approaches using radiogenic and stable isotopes, and palaeogenetics, as well as computer simulation. As a result, the state of migration research has undergone rapid change. Several research groups presented papers at aconference held in Berlin in 2010, addressing specific historical aspects of population dynamics and migration, with no chronological or geographical restrictions, in the light of cutting-edge bio-archaeological research. This volume, divided into three larger thematic sections (isotope analysis, population genetics, and modelling and computer simulation), presents experiences and insights about methodological approaches, research results and prospects for future research in this area in a varied collection of papers. Scholars from widely diverse scientific disciplines present their approaches, findings and interpretations to an audience far broader than the circles of the individual disciplines.

    Building Europe. A History of European Unification (2021)
    De Gruyter
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-03-25
    Description: Relying on internal sources, Wilfried Loth analyses the birth and subsequent development of the European Union, from the launch of the Council of Europe and the Schuman Declaration until the Euro crisis and the contested European presidential election of Jean-Claude Juncker. This book shines a light on the crises of the European integration, such as the failure of the European Defence Community, De Gaulle`s empty chair policy, or the rejection of the European Constitution in France and the Netherlands, but also highlights the indubitable successes that are the Franco-German reconciliation, the establishment of the European common market, and the establishment of an expanding common currency. What this study accomplishes, for the first time, is to illuminate the driving forces behind the European integration process and how it changed European politics and society.An enlightening work. Arequired reading for all who doubt the unfinished history of Europe. &#8211 Rolf Steininger, Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung.This book will become an indispensable standard work. &#8211 Jörg Himmelreich, Neue Zürcher Zeitung.

    Hospitäler in Mittelalter und Früher Neuzeit. Frankreich, Deutschland und Italien. Eine vergleichende Geschichte / Hôpitaux au Moyen Âge et aux Temps modernes. France, Allemagne et Italie. Une histoire comparée (2021)
    De Gruyter
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-03-25
    Description: Hospitäler entwickelten sich erst im 12. Jahrhundert zu eigenständigen Institutionen, wurden dann aber zu den wichtigsten Einrichtungen privater und öffentlicher caritas. Durch unterschiedliche methodische Ansätze und aus verschiedenen Quellengattungen wird hier die Heterogenität und institutionelle Vielfalt mittelalterlicher Hospitäler in den Blick genommen. Dies führt zu einem Themenspektrum, das von der inneren Verfassung dieser Einrichtungen, von den für sie geltenden Normen über die Finanzierung und die Memoria bis hin zu ernährungsgeschichtlichen und medizinhistorischen Fragen reicht. Dabei lassen sich die Autoren von der Erkenntnis leiten, dass es das mittelalterliche Hospital nicht gab, sondern dass jede einzelne Einrichtung ihr eigenes Gesicht besaß

    The Fish Lands. German trade with Iceland, Shetland and the Faroe Islands in the late 15th and 16th Century (2021)
    De Gruyter
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-03-25
    Description: The late medieval German trade with the North Atlantic islands, in the margins of the Hanseatic trade network, has received only limited scholarly attention. Merchants from predominantly Hamburg and Bremen established direct trade relations with these islands in the late 15th century, and managed to control the international trade with Iceland, the Faroes and Shetland for much of the 16th century. However, the Hanseatic commercial infrastructure was absent in the North Atlantic, which forced these merchants to develop new trade strategies. Besides a critical re-evaluation of the economic and political conditions, this volume offers a comprehensive study of the organisation of the trade and the methods used to establish and maintain networks between islanders and German merchants. Moreover, it analyses the role and socio-economic position of the communities of merchants with the North Atlantic in their home towns. The book shows that the North Atlantic trade was anything but insignificant. It was a dynamic and integral part of the trade network of the northern German cities, and its study is highly relevant for the economic history of Northern Europe.

    Mobility and Biography (2021)
    De Gruyter
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-03-25
    Description: The subject of transnational lives has only recently gained importance in historical research. With its transnational approach to “mobility and biography,” this volume brings together research on aspects of mobility and biography across different times and spaces to open up new interdisciplinary perspectives. Networks, movements and the capacity to become socially or spatially mobile in and across Europe are not only analysed as structural factors, but rather seen as connected to concrete practices of mobility among different groups in the spheres of business, politics and the arts: from Jewish merchants via legal and financial advisors all the way to musicians.
