    Description: The attraction of crises keeps going an entire sector of the media industry. Authors, painters, photographers and directors tell fascinating stories about the decline of empires and democracies as much as earthquakes and infectious diseases. Hereby, catastrophe and collapse evolve as a complex construct of experience, interpretation and emotion. The resulting narrative combines analyses of facts about the collapse with a retrospect evaluation, update and confirmation of these facts in the cultural memory of a given society. The random occurrence becomes a memorable event. The contributors of this volume have taken a narratological approach in examining collapse, disaster, catastrophe and how these in turn manifest themselves across different types of media.

    Description: Digitale Technologien und Methoden haben in den vergangenen Jahren immer mehr Einfluss auf die geisteswissenschaftliche Forschung gewonnen. Dies gilt nicht minder fur das achtzehnte Jahrhundert: In allen einschlagigen Fachbereichen werden seit Jahren Texte, Bilder und Metadaten digital generiert, verarbeitet, analysiert und prasentiert. Ergebnis ist eine bisher nie dagewesene Konfrontation mit quantifizierenden Methoden auch in qualitativ arbeitenden Disziplinen sowie die Notwendigkeit einer Auseinandersetzung mit nationalen und globalen Datenstandards. Diese Standards entscheiden uber die Interoperabilitat - gewissermassen die internationale Anschlussfahigkeit - der Daten und somit uber die Nachhaltigkeit der eigenen Forschung. Die Osterreichische Gesellschaft zur Erforschung des achtzehnten Jahrhunderts widmet ihr 34. Jahrbuch 2019 dem Thema der digitalen Forschung zum 18. Jahrhundert in Zentraleuropa. Die einzelnen vorgestellten Beitrage sind nicht nur Projektberichte, sondern referieren die Ergebnisse digital durchgefuhrter Forschungsarbeit. Sie eroffnen ein Panorama der moglichen methodischen Zugange, von den Bildwissenschaften uber Netzwerkanalyse und -darstellung hin zu digitaler Edition, Korpuslinguistik und digitaler Sprachwissenschaft sowie der Vernetzung von Forschungsdaten mit den Daten von Kulturerbe-Institutionen.

    Description: Die vielfältigen Formen des Musizierens in der österreichischen Zwischenkriegszeit wurden in Konflikten um legitime und illegitime Musizierpraktiken immer wieder neu verhandelt. Im Zusammenhang zeitgenössischer Kategorien der Neudefinition und Neuorganisation von Arbeit mit technischen Entwicklungen und neuen Musikgenres wurden unterschiedliche Musizierformen höchst unterschiedlich praktiziert und behandelt. Durch eine systematische Analyse der Beziehungen zwischen Musizierformen, die bislang meist nur getrennt untersucht wurden, werden Hierarchien von Musizieren und Musizierenden zwischen (Nicht-)Kunst und (Nicht-)Beruflichkeit klar, die teilweise auch Jahrzehnte danach noch öffentliche Wahrnehmungen und wissenschaftliche Kategorisierungen von Musik beeinflussten.

    Description: The Balkans and the Near East share millennia of a shared history, which stretches from sedentarization in early history to the 20th century. In the Neolithic period, in Mesopotamia and in the Balkans basic techniques and skills were developed on which Europe and the Islamic world could be based later on. Thus, for example, in the centres of "Ancient Europe" - in the middle basin of the Danube River - already in the 5th millennium people experimented with early script systems, long before the first cuneiform texts in Mesopotamia and the hieroglyph texts in ancient Egypt became in use. The "division of labour" between the various scholarly disciplines in the fields of Balkan studies and Near (Middle) East studies resulted in the separation of a shared history into a Southeast European or Balkan history on the one hand and a history of the Near (Middle) East on the other hand. It is therefore the aim of the monograph to unite the separated histories to a joint one. Since this cannot be done by the simple operation of adding up two histories, the volume opens new perspectives. A comparable historiographical piece of work does not yet exist. The geographical space covered by the text extends between Bosnia in the west, the Iraq in the east and the Arabic Peninsula and Egypt in the south. The composition of the material is based on regional and temporal comparison. Specifically, temporal comparison constitutes a great challenge, because approximately 10,000 years are covered. The book is organized by topics and comprises 17 chapters, 455 manuscript pages and approximately 120 graphs and photographs. Conceptualized as an introductory text, the book may also interest a wider public. The style of writing is generally intelligible and addresses for instance the burning contemporary tensions between Islam and Europe. In addition, topics such as history of religion, historical-anthropological, economic, cultural as well as questions of gender relations are addressed on a principal basis.
    Description: Der Balkan und der Nahe Osten teilen eine Tausende von Jahren währende gemeinsame Geschichte, die von der Sesshaftwerdung in der Frühgeschichte bis in das 20. Jahrhundert reicht. In Mesopotamien und auf dem Balkan wurden in der Jungsteinzeit jene Techniken und Fertigkeiten entwickelt, auf denen später Europa und die islamische Welt aufbauen konnten. So wurde beispielsweise in den Zentren "Alteuropas" - entlang der mittleren Donau - ab dem 5. Jahrtausend bereits mit frühen Schriftsystemen experimentiert, ehe die ersten Keilschrifttexte in Mesopotamien und die Hieroglyphenschrift Ägyptens entwickelt werden sollte. Die "Arbeitsteilung" zwischen einzelnen Wissenschaftsdisziplinen hat es mit sich gebracht, dass diese gemeinsame Geschichte immer wieder aufs Neue gesondert geschrieben wurde: einerseits als Geschichte des Balkans oder des südöstlichen Europa, andererseits als Geschichte des Nahen Ostens. Das zur Publikation anstehende Buch hat das Ziel, diese gesondert betrachteten Geschichten zu einer gemeinsamen zusammenzuführen und entwirft somit eine völlig neue Perspektive. Eine vergleichbar konzipierte Darstellung wurde noch nicht unternommen. Geografisch gesehen erstreckt sich die Darstellung zwischen Bosnien im Westen, dem Irak im Osten und der Arabischen Halbinsel und Ägypten im Süden. Die Darstellung des Stoffes ist auf regionalen und temporalen Vergleichen aufgebaut. Insbesondere der temporale Vergleich stellt eine Herausforderung dar, weil der Zeitraum ca. 10000 Jahre umfasst. Das nach Themenbereichen geordnete Buch ist in 17 Kapitel gegliedert und umfasst 455 Manuskriptseiten mit rund 120 Abbildungen. Als eine Einführung für Studierende konzipiert, kann das Werk auch ein allgemein interessiertes Publikum ansprechen. Der Text ist allgemein-verständlich gehalten und geht insbesondere auch auf das gegenwärtige Spannungsverhältnis zwischen dem Islam und Europa ein. Des Weiteren werden religionsgeschichtliche, historisch-anthropologische, ökonomische, kulturelle wie auch Fragen der Geschlechtergeschichte grundsätzlich beleuchtet.

    Description: Excavated in 2009, An Son, Long An Province, southern Vietnam has been dated to the second millennium BC, with evidence for neolithic occupation and burials. Very little is known about the neolithic period in southern Vietnam, and the routes and chronology for the appearance of cultivation, domestic animals, and ceramic and lithic technologies associated with sedentary settlements in mainland Southeast Asia are still debated.

    Description: In the course of the Josephinian reforms, monasteries were dissolved and church property was fundamentally transformed. At that time, Bukovina was still a young province of the Habsburg Empire. The Orthodox Church dominated denominationally. As early as 1783, a Greek-Oriental religious fund was created based on the church property. This institution was fundamentally different from Catholic funds, since it was regionally anchored from the start. As the largest landowner of Bukovina, this institution developed into a factor that shaped the region and society significantly until it was dissolved in 1949. The analysis of the Bukovinian Religious Fund in its importance for the design, development and nationalization of the region as part of the Habsburg monarchy as well as Greater Romania is the subject of the monograph. It offers a surprisingly new insight into a neglected research field, far beyond the region.

    Description: “A wonderfully rich, insightful and personally touching collection of essays by the Pacific region's most prolific and engaging historian. Brij Lal writes eloquently and poetically about his professional and political journeys, and the many different people and worlds he has encountered on the way. Readers will be inspired by this collective account of a courageous life committed to the achievement of democratic freedom and social justice. What shines through these pages is Lal's love of and commitment to Fiji, from which he has been painfully exiled.” - David Hanlon, Professor of History & Former Director of the Center for Pacific Islands Studies, University of Hawaii at Manoa. “Intersections is a compilation of Brij Lal's essays where academic knowledge combines with life world experience. The voice behind these essays is always courageous and the writing itself indicative of a highly disciplined mind. Read this book with an open mind as Lal explores with sensitivity a country he loves intensely and as he reminisces on the vocation of a scholar. Savour the book's historical insights, enter into its subaltern worlds, debate and challenge its findings, and in that moment of engagement shed a tear for a country which has lost its memory.” - Vijay Mishra, Professor of English, Murdoch University “Brij Lal is a master craftsman and all his skills are on display in this fascinating work which blends autobiography with social, political and historical analysis to produce a work of impeccable scholarship. Lal emerges as much more than a historian as he reflects on the discipline of History, the changing nature of academic life, the challenges of the Indian diaspora, indenture and his travels. He may be banned from his homeland, but somehow one gets the impression that his influence is alive in Fiji, his adopted Australia and across the world. True to his indentured roots, he is still digging, still writing, and still making history.” - Goolam Vahed, Associate Professor of History, University of KwaZulu-Natal

    Description: Die Disziplin der Europäischen Geschichte steht wohl vor der größten Herausforderung ihrer noch jungen Vergangenheit: Die globalhistorische Wende hat viele Grundannahmen der Europäischen Moderne in Frage gestellt und neue Anforderungen formuliert. Die Geschichte Europas soll polyzentrische oder provinzialisierte Perspektiven aufzeigen, die sich als Teil einer transnationalen oder Globalgeschichte verstehen. Diesem Anspruch wird der Band gerecht. Die Beiträger nutzen transnationale, postkoloniale und globalhistorische Zugänge, um einen neuen Blick auf die Europäische Geschichte zu werfen. Zudem führt die Auseinandersetzung mit den geografischen und analytischen Rändern zu einem neuen Verständnis der Geschichte Europas. "Europa" wird dadurch zu einer spezifischen sozialen und kulturellen Konstellation, die sich über innere Gemeinsamkeiten und Konflikte sowie über Abgrenzungen nach außen und Interaktionen mit anderen Weltteilen konstituierte.

    Description: The continued existence of the Russian defence and arms industry (OPK) was called into question following the disintegration of the Soviet Union in 1991. Industry experts cited the lack of a domestic market, endemic corruption, and excess capacity within the industry as factors underpinning its predicted demise. However, the industry's export customers in China, India and Iran during those early years became the OPK's saving grace. Their orders introduced hard currency back into the industry and went a long way to preventing the forecasted OPK collapse. Although pessimistic predictions continued to plague the OPK throughout the 1990s, the valuable export dollars provided the OPK the breathing space it needed to claw back its competitive advantage as an arms producer. That revival has been further underpinned by a new political commitment, various research and development initiatives, and the restoration of defence industry as a tool of Russian foreign policy.The short-term future of the Russian OPK looks promising. The rising domestic defence order is beginning to challenge the export market as the OPK's most important customer. Meanwhile, exports will be safeguarded by continued foreign demand for niche Russian defence products. Although the long-term future of the OPK is more difficult to predict, Russia's solid research and development foundation and successful international joint military ventures suggest that the current thriving trend in exports is likely to continue. Russia represents the next generation of affordable and rugged military equipment for the arsenals of the developing world. Coupled with Russia's growing ability to rearm itself through higher oil prices and a more streamlined defence industry, the future of the OPK looks bright.

    Description: "Photography has been a key means by which Australians have sought to define their relationships with Japan. From the fascination with all things Japanese in the late nineteenth century, through the era of ‘White Australia’, the bitter enmity of the Pacific War, the path to reconciliation in the post-war period and the culturally complicated bilateralism of today, Australians have used their cameras to express a divided sense of conflict and kinship with a country that has by turns fascinated and infuriated. The remarkable photographs collected and discussed here for the first time shed new light on the history of Australia’s engagement with its most important regional partner. Pacific Exposures argues that photographs tell an important story of cultural production, response and reaction—not only about how Australians have pictured Japan over the decades, but how they see their own place in the Asia-Pacific. ‘Pacific Exposures presents the first study of the photographic exchanges between Australia and Japan—its photographers, personalities, motivations, anxieties and tensions—based on a diverse range of archival materials, interviews, and well-chosen photographs.’ — Dr Luke Gartlan, University of St Andrews ‘[Pacific Exposures] will become a key text on Australia’s interactions with Japan, and the way that photographs can inform cross-cultural relations through their production, consumption and circulation.’ — Prof. Kate Darian-Smith, University of Tasmania"

    Description: This book is a historical study of the Tajiks in Central Asia from the ancient times to the post-Soviet period. For millennia, these descendants of the original Aryan settlers were part of many different empires set up by Greek, Arab, Turkic and Russian invaders, as well as their own, most notably during the Middle Ages. The emergence of the modern state of Tajikistan began after 1917 under Soviet rule, and culminated in the promulgation of independence from the moribund USSR in 1991. In the subsequent civil war that raged between 1992 and 1997, Tajikistan came close to becoming a failed state. The legacy of that internal conflict remains critical to understanding politics in Tajikistan a generation later. Exploring the patterns of ethnic identity and the exigencies of state formation, the book argues that despite a strong sense of belonging underpinned by shared history, mythology and cultural traits, the Tajiks have not succeeded in forming a consolidated nation. The politics of the Russian colonial administration, the national-territorial delimitation under Stalin, and the Soviet strategy of socio-economic modernisation contributed to the preservation and reification of sub-ethnic cleavages and regional identities. The book demonstrates the impact of region-based elite clans on Tajikistan’s political trajectory in the twilight years of the Soviet era, and identifies objective and subjective factors that led to the civil war. It concludes with a survey of the process of national reconciliation after 1997, and the formal and informal political actors, including Islamist groups, who compete for influence in Tajik society. “Tajikistan: A Political and Social History is the best source of information on this important country in the English language. Drs Nourzhanov and Bleuer present a comprehensive yet detailed account of the past and prospects of this emerging nation, and have filled one of the major gaps in Central Asian scholarship. This book must be read by those who wish to grasp the vagaries of Central Asia’s evolving political and cultural landscapes.” Reuel Hanks, Professor of Geography, Oklahoma State University, and Editor of the Journal of Central Asian Studies. “If Tajikistan is known outside its region, it is often for the civil war that gravely damaged it. This volume authoritatively provides the longer perspective to the unsettling events of the 1990s and skilfully explains them in terms of history, social structure, and sub-state identities. In addition to highlighting a wealth of local factors, it is insightful on the ways in which antagonists can be transformed into broader ethnic and regional blocs. Kirill Nourzhanov and Christian Bleuer are erudite guides to an understudied part of Central Asia, while astutely instructing us about larger patterns of state-society relations and their impact on the logic of conflict.” James Piscatori, Professor of International Relations, Durham University.

    Description: Der Sammelband „Gezimmertes Morgenland" widmet sich einem wenig erforschten Phänomen der europäischen Orientfaszination: den sogenannten „Arabischen Zimmern", die im Laufe des 19. Jahrhunderts Einzug in zahlreiche Adelssitze, großbürgerliche Wohnungen aber auch Museen hielten. Elf internationale ExpertInnen analysieren dieses Phänomen erstmals in einem breiten Umfang, indem sie nicht nur einzelne Interieurs beschreiben, sondern die Rezeption und Reproduktion zunächst als Distinktionsmerkmal adeliger und bürgerlicher Repräsentation erkennen und darauf aufbauend sowohl die marktorientierten Interessen als auch die wissenschaftliche Faszination daran anhand von Beispielen aus ganz Europa verdeutlichen.

    Description: This volume lists 332 documents and letters from Emperor Friedrich III. from the Vienna House, Court and State Archives for the years 1476 to 1479. Among other things, the material provides insight into the emerging conflicts in the east and west, which were to have a lasting impact on the last decade of the emperor's reign: war against the Hungarian king Matthias Corvinus and the War of Succession over Burgundy. The documents on the peace negotiations with Matthias Corvinus (1477) and Maximilian's borrowing against Burgundy (1478) are among the most important documents in this volume. The extensive documentary record of the inherited administrative and financial system points to the increasing compression and professionalization of administrative writing.

    Description: In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, most countries in Europe and English-speaking countries outside Europe experienced a fertility transition, where fertility fell from high levels to relatively low levels. England and the other English-speaking countries experienced this from the 1870s, while fertility in Australia began to fall in the 1880s. This book investigates the fertility transition in Tasmania, the second settled colony of Australia, using both statistical evidence and historical sources. The book examines detailed evidence from the 1904 New South Wales Royal Commission into the Fall in the Birth Rate, which the Commissioners regarded as applying not only to NSW, but to every state in Australia. Many theories have been proposed as to why fertility declined at this time: theories of economic and social development; economic theories; diffusion theories; the spread of secularisation; increased availability of artificial methods of contraception; and changes in the rates of infant and child mortality. The role of women in the fertility transition has generally been ignored. The investigation concludes that fertility declined in Tasmania in the late 19th century in a period of remarkable social and economic transformation, with industrialisation, urbanisation, improvements in transport and communication, increasing levels of education and opportunities for social mobility. One of the major social changes was in the status and role of women, who became the driving force behind the fertility decline.

    Description: George Brown (1835-1917) was many things during his long life; leader in the Wesleyan Methodist Church in Australasia, explorer, linguist, political activist, apologist for the missionary enterprise, amateur anthropologist, writer, constant traveller, collector of artefacts, photographer and stirrer. He saw himself, at heart, as a missionary. The islands of the Pacific Ocean were the scene of his endeavours, with extended periods lived in Samoa and the New Britain region of today’s Papua New Guinea, followed by repeated visits to Tonga, Fiji, the Milne Bay region of Papua New Guinea and the Solomon Islands. It could be argued that while he was a missionary in the Pacific region he was not a pacific missionary. Brown gained unwanted notoriety for involvement in a violent confrontation at one point in his career, and live+Y3d through conflict in many contexts but he also frequently worked as a peace maker. Policies he helped shape on issues such as church union, indigenous leadership, representation by lay people and a wider role for women continue to influence Uniting Church in Australia and churches in the Pacific region. His name is still remembered with honour in several parts of the Pacific. Brown’s marriage to Sarah Lydia Wallis, daughter of pioneer missionaries to New Zealand, was long and rich. Each strengthened the other and they stand side by side in this account.

    Description: In the first integrated biographical study of his work, this book situates British historian Raphael Samuel (1934–1996) in relation to his distinctive form of activist politics as they developed from youthful Cold War communism to the first British New Left, 1960s radicalism to the 1980s history wars. As the catalyst behind the History Workshop movement, Samuel championed the democratisation of history-making and practised an eclectic form of people’s history in his own work. His unique approach was controversial, drawing impassioned responses from across the ideological spectrum, the most sustained critique often coming from his left-wing contemporaries. It is argued here that this compelling figure has been unjustly neglected and that he continues to offer important insights into the politics of history-making in a post-Marxist world.

    Description: Die Journalistin, Schriftstellerin und Vortragsreisende Käthe Schirmacher (1865-1930) wird in diesem Band als eine exemplarische Protagonistin des Übergangs europäischer Gesellschaften um 1900 vorgestellt. Die transnationale Agitatorin, die sich als ‚moderne Frau‘ positionierte und in intimen Beziehungen mit Frauen lebte, adressierte als radikale Frauenrechtlerin und spätere völkische Politikerin unterschiedliche politische Arenen. Mit ihrer Inanspruchnahme von Autorität und Kompetenz forderte sie die Zugangsregeln zu hegemonialen Öffentlichkeiten heraus. In ihrem umfangreichen Nachlass wird sie als eine Erzählerin des eigenen Lebens sichtbar, die sich in wechselnden Konstellationen immer wieder autobiografisch neu entwarf. Mit der innovativen Konzeption einer Biografie in Koproduktion regt der Band zur methodischen Weiterentwicklung offener biografischer Forschungsprozesse an.

    Description: Der Dessauer Gesandte Bernhard Georg Andermüller (1644–1717) zeichnete während seines vierjährigen Wienaufenthalts eine faszinierende Karte des frühneuzeitlichen Wien, vermutlich im Auftrag seiner Anhalter Dienstgebers. Minutiös verzeichnete der Gesandte darin im Sinne eines Selbstzeugnisses eines Diplomaten Wohnorte und Entscheidungszentren der Residenz Wien im ausklingenden Zeitalter Leopolds I. Neben dieser Vogelschau verdeutlicht der Plan von Michel Herstal de la Tache aus dem Jahr 1695/97 ebenfalls den sich abzeichnenden Transformationsprozess der Stadt, von einer bürgerlichen Stadt hin zu einer Residenz und Adelsstadt nach der zweiten Belagerung der Stadt durch die Osmanen: die Festung Wien, die Neuformierung der katholischen Welt und der Adel finden darin deutlichen Niederschlag.

    Description: Der russisch-jüdische Ethnograf und Schriftsteller Shimon An-Ski bereiste während des Ersten Weltkriegs die österreichisch-ungarischen Frontgebiete in Galizien, der Bukowina und Polen. Seine Eindrücke von der Urkatastrophe des 20. Jahrhunderts und Berichte von Augenzeugen hielt er in einem jiddischen Tagebuch fest, das nun erstmals vollständig in deutscher Sprache vorliegt. In ihm dokumentierte er die Verwüstungen der Kriegsgebiete und die Zerstörung der jüdischen Lebenswelten in Gebieten, die heute vornehmlich zu Polen und der Ukraine gehören, ebenso wie die Hilfsanstrengungen der russländischen Juden für ihre Glaubensbrüder. An-Skis dezidiert jüdische Perspektive zeigt nicht nur die (un)mittelbaren Auswirkungen des Krieges auf die jüdische Bevölkerung und die jüdischen Soldaten auf, sondern ist auch Zeugnis des untergehenden imperialen Europas.

    Description: Illuminated documents have long been treated as research stepchildren. Not least because of the use of digital aids, they have increasingly come into the public eye in the past decade. The newly awakened research interest focuses on the changed performativity of certificates through the addition of decorative elements. The richly illustrated volume presents essays by researchers from eleven countries who examine illuminated certificates from different perspectives of their disciplines.

    Description: Through Dr Lal’s refreshingly clear and powerful prose and sharply observed stories, we enter the inner world of Indo-Fijian feeling and aspiration. One universal that emerges with particular clarity in the Indo-Fijian experience is the ceaseless struggle to find community in a changing world, balancing the beauty of ritual and tradition against the transcendent value of education and modern rationality. The volume poses the question of how people draw upon historical memory and immediate circumstances to create a social world, and how that world can be shared with others in multicultural society. The answer seems to lie somewhere between history and poetry, as in Dr Lal’s ‘factions.’ - Andrew Arno University of Hawaii at Manoa, Honolulu

    Description: Das Ziel der UdSSR: eine afghanische Stabilität. Das Ergebnis: eine sowjetische Instabilität. Als die Sowjetunion 1979 Soldaten nach Afghanistan verlegte, geschah dies im Geheimen – offizielle Bilder gab es nicht. Die Militärzeitung Krasnaja Zvezda sowie das Zentralorgan Pravda agierten zu Beginn der 1980er Jahre als Partner im Geiste. Die UdSSR als Friedensmacht stand den Genossen in Kabul auch visuell helfend zur Seite. Als die letzten sowjetischen Soldaten 1989 das Land am Hindukusch verließen, war das Ereignis im Fokus der medialen Öffentlichkeit. Was war geschehen? Der extern geführte Konflikt auf afghanischem Boden war zu einer innersowjetischen Auseinandersetzung über die mediale Deutungshoheit, die soziale Verantwortung sowie den Umgang mit den Ereignissen erwachsen. Die Studie betrachtet den strategischen Gebrauch fotografischer Bilder zum sowjetisch-afghanischen Konflikt und wertet sie als Impulse für eine gesellschaftliche Transformation.

    Description: 1975 begannen die Arbeiten an den Regesta Imperii für die Zeit Kaiser Friedrich Barbarossas, im März 2018 sind sie nun, stets getragen vom selben Bearbeiter, zu Ende gegangen. Mit diesem letzten Band werden – sieben Jahre nach Vorlage der kompletten chronologischen Regestenreihe – nochmals Nachträge, das Register der Orts- und Personennamen und die Bibliographie publiziert. Das Register erschließt mit seiner ungeheuren Spannweite – von der Iberischen Halbinsel und den modernen Benelux-Staaten im Westen, im Osten im Kontext des Kreuzzuges bis in die Türkei und Teile des Nahen Ostens reichend – weit mehr, als es das ohnehin schon große Gebiet des Heiligen Römischen Reiches vermuten lässt. Die Einleitung ist – nach 43 Jahren – zugleich ein Nachwort, bietet daher Nachbetrachtungen, Reflexionen und Erläuterungen zu einem Lebenswerk.

    Description: R. H. Mathews (1841-1918) was an Australian-born surveyor and self-taught anthropologist. From 1893 until his death in 1918, he made it his mission to record all 'new and interesting facts' about Aboriginal Australia. Despite falling foul with some of the most powerful figures in British and Australian anthropology, Mathews published some 2200 pages of anthropological reportage in English, French and German. His legacy is an outstanding record of Aboriginal culture in the Federation period. This first edited collection of Mathews' writings represents the many facets of his research, ranging from kinship study to documentation of myth. It include eleven articles translated from French or German that until now have been unavailable in English. Introduced and edited by Martin Thomas, who compellingly analyses the anthropologist, his milieu, and the intrigues that were so costly to his reputation, Culture in Translation is essential reading on the history of cross-cultural research. The translations from the French are by Mathilde de Hauteclocque and from the German by Christine Winter.

    Description: “It is a milestone in subaltern studies, a biographical journey penned by a living relic of the indentured experience and a scholar whose thoroughly interdisciplinary approach is a good example for the anthropologist, the sociologist or the economist who wish to see the proper integration of their disciplines in a major historical work.” Brinsley Samaroo, University of the West Indies, St Augustine Campus, Trinidad “Professor Lal has made a most distinguished contribution to scholarship on Indian indentured labour in Fiji. His research is characterised by the use of new methodological approaches to the study of history, and by a comprehensive consideration of both quantitative and literary sources. In beautifully written articles, he has arrived at fresh and novel findings.” Ralph Shlomowitz, Flinders University of South Australia “Professor Lal has produced a body of work which makes him the premier scholar of the Indian diaspora. His meticulous research, the depth of scholarship, the empathy, and the elegance have earned him great respect among Indian diaspora scholars. The themes covered in this book are relevant to other overseas Indian communities; and they are handled with such mastery that his reputation is secured.” Clem Seecharan, University of North London “Brij Lal's Chalo Jahaji is an intensely personal journey through his life and that of the 60,000 Indians who became girmitiyas in Fiji. The intricate history is measured, but Lal reveals himself and his family in a way historians seldom do. This proud grandson of a girmitiya is equally a proud son of Fiji. Chalo Jahaji is Pacific history at its best: rigorous and critical, informative and involved.” Clive Moore, University of Queensland

Der neoliberale Transformationskurs von führenden Mitgliedern der Solidarnosc der 1990er Jahre wird den ursprünglichen politischen und gesellschaftlichen Zielsetzungen der oppositionellen Massenbewegung von 1980–1981 gegenübergestellt. Der Text ist ein starkes Plädoyer für soziale Gerechtigkeit und dokumentiert die zeithistorische Perspektive eines der Vorkämpfer der politischen Opposition gegen die Polnische Vereinigte Arbeiterpartei und späteren Kritikers des nach der Wende eingeschlagenen Reformwegs.

They relate to political conflicts, such as the dispute over the new occupation of the Salzburg Erzstuhl, the emperor's disputes with the Hungarian king Matthias Corvinus and the planned appointment of those from Groningen to Reichspotestaten from Friesland, but above all depict the activities and official acts of the Habsburg in his inheritance . The latter shed light on local ownership structures and interdependencies between Frederick III's financial needs. and the chances of social and political integration of its donors.

    Description: This volume follows the results of the dictionary  "Wissenschafterinnen in und aus Österreich. Leben – Werk – Wirken" from 2002, in which the field of activities of the first generation of female scientists at austrian universities and in non-university workplaces were researched among other things. The present collection is now mostly focused on woman-specific acting of female scientists after 1945 (years of birth between 1930 and 1950, including an addition of earlier years). The emphasis in terms of time furthermore includes theoretical and personnel effects of the second feminist movement, developed in universities in the 1970s out of woman-specific problems in the fields of science.

    Description: In Kärnten steht man der katholischen Kirche distanzierter gegenüber als in anderen österreichischen Bundesländern. Vieles deutet darauf hin, dass dies eng mit den politischen und gesellschaftlichen Eigenheiten des Landes zu tun hat. So staunt man außerhalb Kärntens über ungewöhnliche Wahlergebnisse, den Konflikt um die slowenische Sprache oder den hohen Anteil an unehelichen Kindern. Johannes Thonhauser zeigt in seiner historischen Untersuchung, inwiefern diese Phänomene mit einer weitverbreiteten Kirchenskepsis zusammenhängen. Als Schlüsselphase dafür beschreibt er die Zeit vor dem „Anschluss" 1938, in der sich der Nationalsozialismus im Widerstand gegen eine autoritäre Kirche formierte. Zugleich verfestigten sich in dieser Zeit zentrale Erinnerungstraditionen des Landes, die bis heute die „Kärntner Seele" prägen. Als Belegmaterial dienen dem Autor nicht nur bislang unveröffentlichtes Archivmaterial, sondern auch zahlreiche Auszüge aus Literatur und Kunst des Landes.

    Description: “Visualizations of cult“ deals with the strategies of visual representations of cult as well as with concretisations of its visualization, in the perspective of historical and cultural studies. Cult is understood in a broad sense, describing modes of collective veneration and auratization, in religious, quasi-religious or trivial-profane connections. Cult practice and experience and their manifestations are treated under five aspects: (1) objects: staging of cult, (2) subjects: experiences of cult, (3) cult of persons, (4) spaces of cult, (5) manifestations of cult practice.

    Description: In der Zeit um 1600 unternahmen die aufsteigenden Seemächte England und Niederlande Expeditionen in ferne Gewässer der Arktis und der Südsee oder versuchten, die Welt via Magellanstrasse zu umsegeln. Meer und Schiff wurden dabei zu Kontaktzonen wie auch zu Orten der Imagination und der Wissensproduktion. Die Explorationsfahrten der europäischen Seemächte um 1600 brachten eine Fülle an Texten, Bildern und kartografischen Werken hervor, in welchen Erlebnis und Wahrnehmung der besegelten Gebieten sowie Vorstellungen darüber verarbeitet wurden. In ihrem Buch stellt die Autorin die These auf, dass dabei nicht nur terrestrische und insulare Zielpunkte der Reisen festgehalten und verzeichnet wurden, sondern insbesondere auch neue maritime Räume mit ihren ihnen je eigenen Qualitäten Aufnahme in den Imaginationsschatz und das zeitgenössische Wissenskorpus fanden.

Konkreten Anlass dazu bot das Leipziger Doppeljubiläum: jenes der Schlacht im Jahre 1813 sowie das der Einweihung des Völkerschlachtdenkmals im Jahre 1913. Im Zentrum stehen dabei kultur- und erinnerungsgeschichtliche Perspektiven – mit einem Schwerpunkt auf jeweiligen nationalen Narrativen und daran hängenden Mythenbildungen. Auch finden mediale Aufbereitungen des Ereignisses in Literatur, bildender Kunst und Film besondere Berücksichtigung.

    Description: The author and director Berthold Viertel (1885-1953), born and raised in Vienna, left a broad but fragmented autobiographical project, which changed a lot over time through exile and remigration. Katharina Prager analyses Viertels autobiographical practice and his re- and deconstructions of collective memory of a "different" Vienna around the year 1900, a counter image of the idealistic presentations by his friend Stefan Zweig. She connects his memories of "critical modernness" with studies about the Wiener Moderne in relation to 15 biographical spaces of memory. Berthold Viertel is shown as a prominent actor and networking expert in the cultural scene of Vienna, and as a typical representative of a critical avant-garde, whose lines of tradition he tried to preserve by his writing.

    Description: Was bedeutete ‚Weltrevolution’ und ‚internationale Solidarität’ für einfache Parteiaktivisten und die sowjetische Bevölkerung? Das Buch präsentiert erstmals eine Gesellschaftsgeschichte des frühsowjetischen revolutionären Internationalismus. Auf Basis neuerschlossener Quellen untersucht es die Vermittlung internationalistischer Ideen sowie die Bedeutungen, die frühsowjetische Aktivisten und Bürger in sie hineininterpretierten. Auch das sich wandelnde Repertoire an Praktiken, die der Parteibasis zur Verfügung standen, um an revolutionären Ereignissen im Ausland teilzuhaben, wird einer Detailanalyse unterzogen. Die Studie eröffnet einen neuen Blick auf die Gesellschaft im ersten sowjetischen Jahrzehnt, ihre transnationalen Verflechtungen, und ihre Transformation hin zum Frühstalinismus.

    Description: In the years between the two world wars of the twentieth century leaders in Western countries worried about a food surplus. The hardships of the Great Depression were intensified by a glut of wheat and consequent low prices on the world market. Yet at the same time nutrition scientists protested that significant proportions of populations, even in affluent countries, were unable to afford a diet ‘adequate for health’. Fresh fruits, vegetables, dairy products and meat were out of reach for the poor. This book traces the work of three men who sought to bring together the interests of farmers and the needs of the hungry: scientist and passionate campaigner for better nutrition, John Boyd Orr; Australian politician and international statesman, Stanley Melbourne Bruce; and Economic Adviser to Bruce at the Australian High Commission in London, Frank Lidgett McDougall. Bruce once said ‘McDougall brings me a new idea every morning’. One of those ideas became the genesis of their work, which helped bring about the formation of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations in 1945. All three undertook significant roles in the formative years of the organisation. The story of this contribution to the international world order is little known. The cooperation, diplomacy and persistence of these men provides inspiration for tackling the alarming prospect of food shortages in the present century.

    Description: His admirers said he was a charismatic leader with a dazzling smile, a commoner following an ancient tradition of warrior service on behalf of an indigenous people who feared marginalisation at the hands of ungrateful immigrants. One tourist pleaded with him to stage a coup in her backyard; in private parties around the capital, Suva, infatuated women whispered ‘coup me baby’ in his presence. It was so easy to overlook the enormity of what he had done in planning and implementing Fiji’s first military coup, to be seduced by celebrity, captivated by the excitement of the moment, and plead its inevitability as the final eruption of long-simmering indigenous discontent. A generation would pass before the consequences of the actions of Fiji’s strongman of 1987, Sitiveni Rabuka, would be fully appreciated but, by then, the die had been well and truly cast. The major general did not live happily ever after. No nirvana followed the assertion of indigenous rights. If anything, misadventure became his country’s most enduring contemporary trait. This is Fiji’s very human story.

    Description: Russland zählt seit Jahrzehnten zu den führenden Produzenten, Verbrauchern und Exporteuren von Erdöl und anderen fossilen Energieträgern. Besonders für die brennstoffarmen europäischen Volkswirtschaften ist der östliche Nachbar deshalb von essentieller Bedeutung. Doch obwohl schon das Zarenreich als gewichtiger Erdölexporteur auftrat und die Bolschewiki dieses Erbe bereitwillig antraten, fristete der Energieträger in der Sowjetunion lange Zeit ein Nischendasein. Erst die Entwicklungen der späten 1940er Jahre gaben die entscheidenden Impulse, den Weg ins Erdölzeitalter endgültig zu beschreiten. Dieses Buch thematisiert aus der Perspektive der Moskauer Machtzentralen die wenig beleuchtete, aber entscheidende Phase sowjetischer Energiepolitik zwischen 1938 und 1953. Im Kontext innenpolitischer und internationaler Entwicklungen fragt es nach den Hintergründen des sowjetischen Aufstiegs zur globalen Energiemacht.

    Description: Die Protagonisten des Buches Camillo Sitte, Otto Wagner, Josef Maria Olbrich, Joseph August Lux, Oskar Strnad und Felix Augenfeld schufen von den spaten 1880er Jahren bis 1938 uber die Zasur des Weltkriegs hinaus eine moderne und ortspezifische Architektur. Den Bedurfnissen einer modernen Massengesellschaft wollten sie mit differenzierten Stadtraumen und kontextuell eingebundenen Bauten Rechnung tragen. In der Formulierung dieser ortspezifischen Variante einer dezidiert modernen Architektur spielten neuentwickelte, nicht-historistische Vergangenheitsbezuge eine wichtige Rolle wie etwa die Entdeckung der vernakularen Architektur der Wiener Innenstadt und der Vorstadte aus dem Vormarz. In funf unterschiedlich zugeschnittenen Kapiteln werden architektonische Schlusselwerke und Theorien in ihrem unmittelbaren Entstehungskontext rekontextualisiert.

    Description: Die französisch-eidgenössischen Beziehungen der Frühen Neuzeit waren von extremer Ungleichheit der Akteure geprägt. Auf der einen Seite stand ein föderatives Netzwerk kleiner Republiken, auf der andern Seite eine monarchisch verfasste, vergleichsweise zentralisierte europäische Großmacht. Die Studie rückt die politische Semantik, die Bedeutung personaler Netzwerke sowie die Praktiken und Kanäle des Verhandelns in diesen asymmetrischen Beziehungen in den Blick. Anhand ausgewählter Interaktionssituationen wird gezeigt, wie die Vertreter der französischen Krone und die eidgenössischen Obrigkeiten die politischen Beziehungen der Gemeinwesen im Spannungsfeld von Souveränität, Protektion und Patronage verorteten. Gesandte und Ratsmitglieder, aber auch Solddienstoffiziere, Abenteurer und lokale Klienten übernahmen wichtige Rollen in Verhandlungen und beeinflussten deren Ausgang durch ihre partikularen Interessen.

    Description: In Schulbüchern spiegelt sich das Selbstverständnis von Gesellschaften wider: Durch sie ist der Werte-, Themen- und Literaturkanon rekonstruierbar, der zu einem gewissen Zeitpunkt in einer Gesellschaft dominant ist. Ab der zweiten Hälfte des 19. Jahrhunderts werden durch Schrift und Schule auch nationale Identitätskonzepte konsolidiert. Diese Fallstudie zeigt für slowenische Schullesebücher, welchen großen Beitrag Übersetzungen dabei leisteten, zeichnet ihre Entstehungsumstände und die Leistungen der Beteiligten nach und richtet das Augenmerk auf die Verfestigung einer einheitlichen slowenischen Schriftsprache und einer nationalen Gruppenidentität, wie sie durch das Schullesebuch vorangetrieben und in diesem sichtbar wurde.

It is a timely reminder that the process of constitutional change hangs in the balance, as it did at the time of Mr Patel's death. I hope his example will inspire future generations in Fiji to realise the vision articulated by a brilliant and courageous advocate of democracy, and a loyal son of Fiji.” Late Adi Kuini Bavadra

    Description: This book presents inter-disciplinary perspectives on the maritime journeys of the Macassan trepangers who sailed in fleets of wooden sailing vessels known as praus from the port city of Makassar in southern Sulawesi to the northern Australian coastline. These voyages date back to at least the 1700s and there is new evidence to suggest that the Macassan praus were visiting northern Australia even earlier. This book examines the Macassan journeys to and from Australia, their encounters with Indigenous communities in the north, as well as the ongoing social and cultural impact of these connections, both in Indonesia and Australia.

    Description: "This edited collection focuses on Aboriginal and Māori travel in colonial contexts. Authors in this collection examine the ways that Indigenous people moved and their motivations for doing so. Chapters consider the cultural aspects of travel for Indigenous communities on both sides of the Tasman. Contributors examine Indigenous purposes for mobility, including for community and individual economic wellbeing, to meet other Indigenous or non-Indigenous peoples and experience different cultures, and to gather knowledge or experience, or to escape from colonial intrusion. ‘This volume is the first to take up three challenges in histories of Indigenous mobilities. First, it analyses both mobility and emplacement. Challenging stereotypes of Indigenous people as either fixed or mobile, chapters deconstruct issues with ramifications for contemporary politics and analyses of Indigenous society and of rural and national histories. As such, it is a welcome intervention in a wide range of urgent issues. Second, by examining Indigenous peoples in both Australia and New Zealand, this volume is an innovative step in removing the artificial divisions that have arisen from “national” histories. Third, the collection connects the experiences of colonised Indigenous peoples with those of their colonisers, shifting the long-held stereotypes of Indigenous powerlessness. Chapters then convincingly demonstrate the agency of colonised peoples in shaping the actions and the mobility itself of the colonisers. While the volume overall is aimed at opening up new research questions, and so invites later and even more innovative work, this volume will stand as an important guide to the directions such future work might take.’ — Heather Goodall, Professor Emerita, UTS"

    Description: Der russisch-jüdische Ethnograf und Schriftsteller Shimon An-Ski bereiste während des Ersten Weltkriegs die österreichisch-ungarischen Frontgebiete in Galizien, der Bukowina und Polen. Seine Eindrücke von der Urkatastrophe des 20. Jahrhunderts und Berichte von Augenzeugen hielt er in einem jiddischen Tagebuch fest, das nun erstmals vollständig in deutscher Sprache vorliegt. In ihm dokumentierte er die Verwüstungen der Kriegsgebiete und die Zerstörung der jüdischen Lebenswelten in Gebieten, die heute vornehmlich zu Polen und der Ukraine gehören, ebenso wie die Hilfsanstrengungen der russländischen Juden für ihre Glaubensbrüder. An-Skis dezidiert jüdische Perspektive zeigt nicht nur die (un)mittelbaren Auswirkungen des Krieges auf die jüdische Bevölkerung und die jüdischen Soldaten auf, sondern ist auch Zeugnis des untergehenden imperialen Europas.

    Description: "A New Rival State? is a unique collection of dispatches written in 1857–1917 by the Russian consuls in Melbourne to the Imperial Russian Embassy in London and the Russian Foreign Ministry in St Petersburg. Written by eight consuls, they offer a Russian view of the development of the settler colonies in the late nineteenth century and the first years of the federated Commonwealth of Australia. They cover the federalist movement, the changing domestic political situation, labour politics, the treatment of the Indigenous population, the ‘White Australia’ policy, Australia’s defensive capacity and foreign policy as part of the British Empire. The bulk of the material is drawn from the Russian-language collection The Russian Consular Service in Australia 1857–1917, edited by Alexander Massov and Marina Pollard (2014), using documents from the archive of the Russian Foreign Ministry."

    Description: 'H.W. Arndt has been Australia's leading scholar of Asian economic development for over thirty years' - Former World Bank President James D Wolfensohn. The year of Heinz Wolfgang Arndt's birth, 1915, was not a good time for a German boy to be born. His country was soon to be defeated in a great war, his school years were shadowed by the rise of Hitler. Yet when Heinz's long-buried Jewish background led his academic father to lose his chair in chemistry and flee to Oxford, Heinz followed. As Heinz put it, the calamity of Hitler's rise to power led him to 'the incredible good fortune of an Oxford education and a life spent in England and Australia.' This was a man of inexhaustible energy and optimism, who returned from months behind barbed wire interned in Canada to write a historical classic—The Economic Lessons of the Nineteen-Thirties. He seized the opportunity of an unexpected job offer to set off with his young family for Sydney where he quickly established himself as a leading authority on the Australian banking system, embarked on his fifty year career as a gifted university teacher and enjoyed the first of many vigorous forays as a public intellectual. But it was at ANU that Heinz took the bold step which led him to become the Grand Old Man of Asian Economics. In 1966, just after the Sukarno coup and the year of living dangerously, he determined the time had come to study the Indonesian economy. It took all his charm, persistence and formidable intellect to persuade the Indonesians to open their doors to him. The result was a world-leading centre of Indonesian economics which greatly contributed to the development of modern Indonesia.

    Description: Watriama and Co (the title echoes Kipling’s Stalky and Co!) is a collection of biographical essays about people associated with the Pacific Islands. It covers a period of almost a century and a half. However, the individual stories of first-hand experience converge to some extent in various ways so as to present a broadly coherent picture of ‘Pacific History’. In this, politics, economics and religion overlap. So, too, do indigenous cultures and concerns; together with the activities and interests of the Europeans who ventured into the Pacific and who had a profound, widespread and enduring impact there from the nineteenth century, and who also prompted reactions from the Island peoples. Not least significant in this process is the fact that the Europeans generated a ‘paper trail’ through which their stories and those of the Islanders (who also contributed to their written record) can be known. Thus, not only are the subjects of the essays to be encountered personally, and within a contextual kinship, but the way in which the past has shaped the future is clearly discernible. Watriama himself features in various historical narratives. So, too, certain of his confrères in this collection, which is the product of several decades of exploring the Pacific past in archives, by sea, and on foot through most of Oceania.

    Description: In the early decades of the 19th century, Indigenous Australians suffered devastating losses at the hands of British colonists, who largely ignored their sovereignty and even their humanity. At the same time, however, a new wave of Christian humanitarians were arriving in the colonies, troubled by Aboriginal suffering and arguing that colonists had obligations towards the people they had dispossessed. These white philanthropists raised questions which have shaped Australian society ever since. Did Indigenous Australians have rights to land, rationing, education and cultural survival? If so, how should these be guaranteed, and what would people have to give up in return? Would charity and paternalism lead to effective government or dismal failure - to a powerful defence of an oppressed people, or to new forms of oppression? In Good Faith? paints a vivid picture of life on Australia's first missions and protectorate stations, examining the tensions between charity and rights, empathy and imperialism, as well as the intimacy, dependence, resentment and obligations that developed between missionary philanthropists and the people they tried to protect and control. In this work, Mitchell brings to life hitherto neglected moments in Australia's history, and traces the origins of dilemmas still present today.

    Description: Kuk is a settlement at c. 1600 m altitude in the upper Wahgi Valley of the Western Highlands Province of Papua New Guinea, near Mount Hagen, the provincial capital. The site forms part of the highland spine that runs for more than 2500 km from the western head of the island of New Guinea to the end of its eastern tail. Until the early 1930s, when the region was first explored by European outsiders, it was thought to be a single, uninhabited mountain chain. Instead, it was found to be a complex area of valleys and basins inhabited by large populations of people and pigs, supported by the intensive cultivation of the tropical American sweet potato on the slopes above swampy valley bottoms. With the end of World War II, the area, with others, became a focus for the development of coffee and tea plantations, of which the establishment of Kuk Research Station was a result. Large-scale drainage of the swamps produced abundant evidence in the form of stone axes and preserved wooden digging sticks and spades for their past use in cultivation. Investigations in 1966 at a tea plantation in the upper Wahgi Valley by a small team from The Australian National University yielded a date of over 2000 years ago for a wooden stick collected from the bottom of a prehistoric ditch. The establishment of Kuk Research Station a few kilometres away shortly afterwards provided an ideal opportunity for a research project.

    Description: Die Alpenbegeisterung, die in der zweiten Hälfte des 18. Jahrhunderts in Europa aufkam, stand stark unter dem Einfluss der Aufklärung und ihrer bürgerlichen Freiheitsideale. Seit dem frühen 19. Jahrhundert gab es neben dieser Gleichsetzung von Bergen und republikanischer Freiheit aber auch konkurrierende romantische Strömungen, welche zur Monarchie tendierten und die Ergebenheit und Treue der alpinen Gesellschaften hervorhoben. Eva Bachmann untersucht in diesem Buch die bislang wenig beachteten Reisen der britischen und italienischen Monarchie in die Alpen – von den illustren Jagdexkursionen des italienischen Königs Vittorio Emanuele II., über die inkognito Flucht der britischen Königin Victoria in die Alpenwelt, bis hin zu den abenteuerlichen Bergbesteigungen der italienischen Königin Margherita.

    Description: For the first time, this anthology is dedicated to the early days of baby armchairs in Europe. It contains seven articles by international researchers who deal with the history of the introduction and establishment of armchairs in various European centers of power. Carrying chairs are fascinating objects that elude conventional categorizations in many ways. On the one hand, they can be assigned to the furniture area - at least in their simplest design - but on the other hand they are also a means of transport. In a simple, robust design, armchairs were inexpensive everyday vehicles in city traffic that could be rented for short distances. In precious furnishings, on the other hand, they were courtly showpieces, which eminently symbolized social differences of the civil society: representatives of the upper class were transported in their palaces or on the streets of the city by servants dressed in precious liveries, rose above the unclean ground and symbolically caught up with the common people.

    Description: This volume, the result of ongoing collaborations between Australian and French anthropologists, historians and linguists, explores encounters between Pacific peoples and foreigners during the longue durée of European exploration, colonisation and settlement from the sixteenth century to the twentieth century. It deploys the concept of 'encounter' rather than the more common idea of 'first contact' for several reasons. Encounters with Europeans occurred in the context of extensive prior encounters and exchanges between Pacific peoples, manifest in the distribution of languages and objects and in patterns of human settlement and movement. The concept of encounter highlights the mutuality in such meetings of bodies and minds, whereby preconceptions from both sides were brought into confrontation, dialogue, mutual influence and ultimately mutual transformation. It stresses not so much prior visions of 'strangers' or 'others' but the contingencies in events of encounter and how senses other than vision were crucial in shaping reciprocal appraisals. But a stress on mutual meanings and interdependent agencies in such cross-cultural encounters should not occlude the tumultuous misunderstandings, political contests and extreme violence which also characterised Indigenous-European interactions over this period.

    Description: The Vienna Genesis (Austrian National Library, Codex Theologicus graecus 31) is a fragmentary Greek manuscript of the Book of Genesis written on purple dyed parchment with silver ink. It is assumed that the book was created in the first half of the 6th century in the Near East. 24 folios with 48 miniatures have survived and have been stored at the Austrian National Library since 1664. The Vienna Genesis is famous for its rich cycle of biblical illuminations. The silver ink's degradation, which has resulted in extensive damage to the parchment, was already observed in the 17th century. In a three-year research project the parchment, the silver inks, the pigments and dyes were investigated. The detailed material analysis formed the base for conservation and preservation of the manuscript. The book describes the different studies of the project and their results: How was parchment made in Late Antiquity? How was parchment dyed purple? What is the purple dye of the Vienna Genesis? What is the composition of the silver ink and what are the causes of the severe damage? Which pigments were used by the different painters? How can the Vienna Genesis be best conserved for the future?

    Description: De proprietatibus rerum, 'On the properties of things', has long been referred to by scholars as a medieval encyclopedia, but evidence suggests that it has been many things to many people. The sheer number of extant manuscript copies and printed editions, along with translations, adaptations, and mentions in poems and sermons, testify to its continuous significance for Europeans of all estates and different walks of life, from the thirteenth to the seventeenth centuries. While first compiled soon after the time of St Francis by a humble continental friar to meet the needs of his expanding religious brotherhood, by 1600 English men of letters had claimed Bartholomew as a noble compatriot and national treasure. What was it about the work that propelled it through a progression of medieval cultures and into an exalted position in the world of English letters? This reception history traces evidence for the journey of 'Properties' over four centuries of social, political and religious change.

    Description: Antonio di Pietro Averlino, called Filarete, in his Libro architettonico, written between 1460 and 1464 in the form of a dialogue between the author and Duke Francesco Sforza and his son Galeazzo Maria Sforza, tells of the planning, founding and construction of the city named after its owner »Sforzinda« and a city by the sea connected to it. In addition to the practical aspects of architecture and theory in the narrower sense, the first monographical examination of the Codex is also devoted to passages and illustrations that have hitherto been neglected or not at all Filaretes' source writings that go beyond the usual art-historical reference points to show Libro as an outstanding, crystalline document of its time as a whole, which expands and corrects our picture of the Renaissance, shaped by the winners of history.

    Description: This is the first book whose subject is the music, sounds and silences of Antarctica. From 2011 until 2014, Australia marked its long-standing connection with Antarctica by celebrating the centenary of the Australasian Antarctic Expedition. The icy continent, with its extremes of climate and environment and unique soundscapes, offers great potential for creative achievements in the world of music and sound. This book demonstrates the intellectual and creative engagement of artists, musicians, scientists and writers. Consciousness of sounds — in particular, musical ones — has not been at the forefront of our aims in polar endeavours, but listening to and appreciating them has been as important there as elsewhere.

    Description: Das Gerichtswesen der spätmittelalterlichen Stadt erscheint in vieler Hinsicht rätselhaft: Trotz reger Bautätigkeit tagten die Gerichte zumeist im Freien; wenngleich die Kommunen schon früh eine elaborierte Schriftlichkeit nutzten, fand das Prozessgeschehen meist mündlich statt, und obwohl der Rat nicht selten promovierte Juristen als Schreiber in Dienst nahm, urteilten an seinen Gerichten ausschließlich Laien. Das Buch unternimmt den Versuch, diese und andere Phänomene zu plausibilisieren, indem es sie auf die Leitunterscheidung von Zugehörigkeit und Nicht-Zugehörigkeit zurückführt. Als empirische Grundlage dient das umfangreiche Quellenmaterial der Stadt Köln, dass zur Zeit der Abfassung der Studie noch verfügbar war.

    Description: This book is a unique window into a dynamic time in the politics and history of Australia. The two decades from 1970 to the Bicentennial in 1988 saw the emergence of a new landscape in Australian Indigenous politics. There were struggles, triumphs and defeats around land rights, community control of organisations, national coalitions and the international movement for Indigenous rights. The changes of these years generated new roles for Aboriginal people. Leaders had to grapple with demands to be administrators and managers as well as spokespeople and lobbyists. The challenges were personal as well as organisational, with a central one being how to retain personal integrity in the highly politicised atmosphere of the ‘Aboriginal Industry’. Kevin Cook was in the middle of many of these changes – as a unionist, educator, land rights campaigner, cultural activist and advocate for liberation movements in Southern Africa, the Pacific and around the world. But ‘Cookie’ has not wanted to tell the story of his own life in these pages. Instead, with Heather Goodall, a long time friend, he has gathered together many of the activists with whom he worked to tell their stories of this important time. Readers are invited into the frank and vivid conversations Cookie had with forty-five black and white activists about what they wanted to achieve, the plans they made, and the risks they took to make change happen. “You never doubted Kevin Cook. His very presence made you confident because the guiding hand is always there. Equal attention is given to all. I am one of many who worked with Cookie and Judy through the Tranby days and in particular the 1988 Bicentennial March for Freedom, Justice and Hope. What days they were. I’m glad this story is being told.” Linda Burney, MLA New South Wales “Kevin Cook was a giant in the post-war struggle for Aboriginal rights. His ability to connect the dots and make things happen was important in both the political and cultural resurgence of the 1970s onwards.” Meredith Burgmann, former MLC, New South Wales “Kevin has had a transformative effect on the direction of my life and the lives of so many other people. This book is an important contribution to understanding not only Kevin’s life but also the broader struggles for social and economic justice, for community empowerment and of the cooperative progressive movement. It will greatly assist the ongoing campaign for full and sustainable reconciliation.” Paddy Crumlin, National Secretary, Maritime Union of Australia “Cookie has made great contributions in enhancing the struggles of our people. He is a motivator, an astute strategist, and an excellent communicator with wonderful people skills. It’s a pleasure to be able to call him a mate and a brother.” John Ah Kit, former MLA, Northern Territory

    Description: Unter Joseph II. wurde 1785 das Josephinum eröffnet und beheimatete die medizinisch-chirurgische Josephs-Akademie, die ausschließlich der Ausbildung für zukünftige Feldchirurgen und als Modell für mehrere Chirurgenschule in Europa diente. Im Laufe ihrer 90-jährigen Geschichte durchlief die militärärztliche Ausbildung, bedingt durch die Entwicklung in der Medizin als auch in der universitären ärztlichen Ausbildung, mehrere grundlegende Veränderungen. Diese führten zu Reformen der Studienpläne an der Akademie. Sie mussten aber zusätzlich berücksichtigen: „dass das Wesen eines wahren Feldarztes stets aus zwei Elementen bestehen müsse, nämlich aus dem ärztlichen-wissenschaftlichen und dem militärischen.“ (Ignaz Traugott Dreyer 1843). Auch wenn in der Medizin- und Militärgeschichte die Josephs-Akademie fast vergessen ist, so haben wichtige Persönlichkeiten an ihr gelehrt und bekannte Schüler ausgebildet.

    Description: Earle Christmas Grafton Page (1880-1961) - surgeon, Country Party leader, treasurer and prime minister - was perhaps the most extraordinary visionary to hold high public office in twentieth-century Australia. Over decades, he made determined efforts to seize 'the psychological moment', and thereby realise his vision of a decentralised, regionalised and rationally ordered nation. Page's unique dreaming of a very different Australia encompassed new states, hydroelectricity, economic planning, cooperative federalism and rural universities. His story casts light on the wider place in history of visions of national development. He was Australia's most important advocate of developmentalism, the important yet little-studied stream of thought that assumes that governments can lead the nation to realise its economic potential. His audacious synthesis of ideas delineated and stretched the Australian political imagination. Page's rich career confirms that Australia has long inspired popular ideals of national development, but also suggests that their practical implementation was increasingly challenged during the twentieth century. Effervescent, intelligent and somewhat eccentric, Page was one of Australia's great optimists. Few Australian leaders who stood for so much have since been so neglected.

    Description: Die Halbinsel Kola im Nordwesten Russlands stellte die sowjetische Verwaltung vor ein Energieproblem. Kola war zwar reich an Bodenschätzen, verfügte jedoch über keine fossilen Brennstoffe. Wie die Region mit Energie zu versorgen sei, war über Jahrzehnte ein Verhandlungsgegenstand. Sowjetische Botaniker forschten auf der Halbinsel Kola an einer arktistauglichen Kartoffel. Zur selben Zeit entstanden Wasserkraftwerke jenseits des Polarkreises; Kumpel förderten Kohle in gefrorenen Minen. Diese Bemühungen der 1930er Jahre verband ein Leitgedanke: Die Energieversorgung jeder sowjetischen Region sollte eigenständig sein. Nach 1945 wich diese Maxime vermehrt überregionalen Interdependenzen. Kola verband sich durch Hochspannungsleitungen, Brennstoffeinfuhr und internationale Kraftwerkprojekte immer stärker mit fernen Landschaften. Regionale Autarkie und gesamtstaatliche Verflechtung waren Grundgedanken sowjetischen Verwaltungshandelns, dessen Erbe nicht nur im Energiesektor bis heute nachwirkt.

    Description: 'This book meets well the triple promise of the title - the inter-connections of place, people and heritage. John Mulvaney brings to this work a deep knowledge of the history, ethnography and archaeology of Tasmania. He presents a comprehensive account of the area's history over the 200 years since French naval expeditions first charted its coastlines. The important records the French officers and scientists left of encounters with Aboriginal groups are discussed in detail, set in the wider ethnographic context and compared with those of later expeditions. 'The topical issues of understanding the importance of Recherche Bay as a cultural landscape and its protection and future management inform the book. Readers will be challenged to consider the connections between people and place, and how these may constitute significant national heritage.'

    Description: Im Jahr 1854 empfingen die Innsbrucker Studenten den Minister für Kultus und Unterricht Leo Thun-Hohenstein bei seiner Ankunft in Innsbruck mit einem großen Fackelumzug und huldigten dem Minister mit selbstgedichteten Liedern. Sie feierten ihn als neuen Prometheus, als denjenigen, der durch seine Universitätsreformen die österreichischen Universitäten mit dem Licht der Aufklärung erfüllt habe und die Universitäten in eine neue Ära führen werde.Aichner untersucht die Zeitenwende der österreichischen Universitäten am Beispiel der Universität Innsbruck. Im Zentrum der Studie steht die Umsetzung der Thun-Hohenstein´schen Reformen im Spannungsfeld von gesamtstaatlichen Interessen und lokalen Voraussetzungen. Behandelt werden außerdem die Auswirkungen der Reform in einer mittel- und langfristigen Perspektive.

    Description: The Lives of Stories traces three stories of Aboriginal–settler friendships that intersect with the ways in which Australians remember founding national stories, build narratives for cultural revival, and work on reconciliation and self-determination. These three stories, which are still being told with creativity and commitment by storytellers today, are the story of James Morrill’s adoption by Birri-Gubba people and re-adoption 17 years later into the new colony of Queensland, the story of Bennelong and his relationship with Governor Phillip and the Sydney colonists, and the story of friendship between Wiradjuri leader Windradyne and the Suttor family. Each is an intimate story about people involved in relationships of goodwill, care, adoptive kinship and mutual learning across cultures, and the strains of maintaining or relinquishing these bonds as they took part in the larger events that signified the colonisation of Aboriginal lands by the British. Each is a story in which cross-cultural understanding and misunderstanding are deeply embedded, and in which the act of storytelling itself has always been an engagement in cross-cultural relations. The Lives of Stories reflects on the nature of story as part of our cultural inheritance, and seeks to engage the reader in becoming more conscious of our own effect as history-makers as we retell old stories with new meanings in the present, and pass them on to new generations.

    Description: An Otago Storeman in Solomon Islands reaches from inland South Island of New Zealand across to the Solomon Islands during the 1880s. William Crossan's Otago experience as a versatile storeman with a solid work ethic helped him survive on the Melanesian frontier where he encountered conflicting clans, cannibalism, cheating traders, and co-operative entrepreneurial big men. His diary provides many glimpses into Makiran society as it encountered new ideas, new employment, and western technology. It is a welcome addition to the sparse record of these cryptic copra traders seeking fortunes on the cusp of indigenous tradition and incoming colonialism.

    Description: During the Second World War, Australia maintained a super-secret organisation, the Diplomatic (or `D’) Special Section, dedicated to breaking Japanese diplomatic codes. The Section has remained officially secret as successive Australian Governments have consistently refused to admit that Australia ever intercepted diplomatic communications, even in war-time. This book recounts the history of the Special Section and describes its code-breaking activities. It was a small but very select organisation, whose `technical’ members came from the worlds of Classics and Mathematics. It concentrated on lower-grade Japanese diplomatic codes and cyphers, such as J-19 (FUJI), LA and GEAM. However, towards the end of the war it also worked on some Soviet messages, evidently contributing to the effort to track down intelligence leakages from Australia to the Soviet Union. This volume has been produced primarily as a result of painstaking efforts by David Sissons, who served in the Section for a brief period in 1945. From the 1980s through to his death in 2006, Sissons devoted much of his time as an academic in the Department of International Relations at ANU to compiling as much information as possible about the history and activities of the Section through correspondence with his former colleagues and through locating a report on Japanese diplomatic codes and cyphers which had been written by members of the Section in 1946. Selections of this correspondence, along with the 1946 report, are reproduced in this volume. They comprise a unique historical record, immensely useful to scholars and practitioners concerned with the science of cryptography as well as historians of the cryptological aspects of the war in the Pacific. “This publication fills an important gap in the present available knowledge concerning code-breaking in Australia during World War II. It also gives overdue recognition to the important contribution made by David Sissons to this subject”. Professor John Mack, School of Mathematics and Statistics, University of Sydney.

    Description: The global system of alliances that the United States built after the Second World War underpinned the stability and prosperity of the postwar order. But during the 20th century, the multilateral NATO alliance system in Europe and the bilateral San Francisco alliance system in Asia rarely interacted. This changed in the early 21st century, as US allies came together to fight and stabilise conflicts in the Middle East and Central Asia. This volume presents the first-ever comparative study of US alliances in Europe and Asia from the perspectives of US allies: the challenges, opportunities and shifting dynamics of these fundamental pillars of order. This volume is essential reading for those interested in contemporary and future regional and global security dynamics.

    Description: Der gebürtige Wiener Wolfgang von Weisl (1896-1974) ist der bedeutendste und radikalste revisionistische Zionist österreichischer Herkunft. Er hat nach dem Ersten Weltkrieg mit enormem, vielfältigem und auch militantem Einsatz als Politiker, Arzt, Offizier, Ökonom, Kolonist, Vortragender, Schriftsteller und Journalist an der Wegbereitung eines unabhängigen jüdischen Staates in Palästina mitgewirkt. Sein Lebenswerk, seine Autobiographie und seine zahlreichen politischen und literarischen Schriften – Zeitungsartikel, orientalische Sach- und Reisebücher, medizinische und religionspsychologische Abhandlungen, Gedichte, erzählende und dramatische Texte – sind bisher noch unerforscht. Diese vom Österreichischen Wissenschaftsfonds (FWF) geförderte, kommentierte und ausführlich monographisch eingeleitete Edition der beiden autobiographischen Texte Wolfgang von Weisls, „Lang ist der Weg ins Vaterland“ und „Der Weg nach Latrun“, leistet einen ersten grundlegenden Beitrag.

    Description: Was bewegte einen jungen Adligen im ausgehenden Ancien Régime dazu, in den diplomatischen Dienst einzutreten? Die vorliegende Studie analysiert ausgehend von einer praxeologischen Lektüre der mehr als 50 Tagebuchbände des preußischen Gesandten Jean-Pierre de Chambrier d’Oleyres (1753–1822) den sozialen Sinn der Diplomatie in der Sattelzeit. Sie zeigt, dass der Fürstendienst am fremden Hof zugleich der Statuspolitik des Familienverbands wie auch der Selbstpositionierung eines Adligen innerhalb der Familie diente. Angesichts sozialer und politischer Umbrüche wurde diese »Ökonomie der doppelten Distinktion« Ende des 18. Jahrhunderts nicht als obsolet betrachtet, sondern vielmehr in bisher ungekannter Weise reflektiert und perfektioniert. Innerhalb eines vormodernen Denkrahmens manifestiert sich ein modernes Subjekt, das die eigene Biografie in Zeiten des Wandels autonom zu gestalten trachtet. Indem sie Diplomatiegeschichte und Selbstzeugnisforschung zusammenführt, ermöglicht die Studie einen neuen Blick auf die gesellschaftlichen Veränderungen in der Sattelzeit.

    Description: The subject of this study is the criminal prosecution of insulting remarks about the emperor in the Habsburg monarchy in the second half of the 19th century (1852-1918). The first chapter discusses the historical development of the protection of state and sovereign through penal law that resulted in the penal code of 1852. Then the norms on the protection of state and dynasty in this penal code and the settings of the criminal proceedings code are discussed. As lese majesty was a politically disputed matter, also the discussion on the planed reform of the penal code is given the necessary attention.The main part of the book examines which insulting remarks on Francis Joseph were in fact prosecuted by the Regional Court Salzburg. Special attention is paid to the question what motivated the defendants to insult the emperor and what conclusions can be drawn from their remarks regarding the relation between authority and subjects. In this context is also analyzed how the authorities got to know about the insulting remarks, which sentences where imposed by the Regional Court and from which factors the sentences where influenced. Also the social composition of the offenders is analyzed. On the basis of criminal statistics the study investigates, which social and political factors influenced the numbers of convictions for lese majesty. It can be demonstrated, how political and economic developments influenced public opinion and how on the other side the provision on lese majesty could be exploited to suppress political opposition. The last chapter is dedicated to the suppression of critical comments on the emperor and the dynasty in newspapers and other products of the press. Based on a description of the legal framework, the study analyzes how censorship was operated by the authorities in the crown-land Salzburg. The book shows which comments in newspapers lead to confiscations and which political developments or events within the royal family gave rise to critical comments.
    Description: Die vorliegende Arbeit widmet sich der strafrechtlichen Verfolgung von beleidigenden Äußerungen über den Monarchen in der Habsburgermonarchie der zweiten Hälfte des 19. Jahrhunderts (1852-1918). Dazu wird zunächst die historische Entwicklung des strafrechtlichen Schutzes von Staat und Herrscher dargestellt, die schließlich im Strafgesetz von 1852 ihren Abschluss fand. Sodann werden die einschlägigen Bestimmungen des Strafgesetzes von 1852 und die prozessrechtlichen Rahmenbedingungen dargestellt. Da der Tatbestand der Majestätsbeleidigung politisch umstritten war, erfährt auch die Anfang der 1860er-Jahre einsetzende Reformdiskussion die ihr gebührende Behandlung. Aufbauend auf dieser Darstellung der rechtlichen Rahmenbedingungen wird im Hauptteil der Arbeit untersucht, welche Schmähungen Kaiser Franz Josephs in der Praxis des Salzburger Landesgerichts in welcher Weise geahndet wurden. Dabei wird insbesondere untersucht, wodurch die Täter zu den inkriminierten Äußerungen motiviert wurden und welche Rückschlüsse ihre Meinungsäußerungen auf das Verhältnis zwischen Obrigkeit und Untertanen zulassen. Zudem wird analysiert, wie die Obrigkeit Kenntnis von den inkriminierten Äußerungen erlangte und welche Strafen das Salzburger Landesgericht verhängte und von welchen Faktoren die Strafbemessung beeinflusst wurde. Im Anschluss daran wird die soziale Zusammensetzung der Verurteilten untersucht. Anhand der Kriminalstatistiken wird weiters der Frage nachgegangen, welche gesellschaftlichen und politischen Entwicklungen Einfluss auf die Häufigkeit der Verurteilungen wegen Majestätsbeleidigung hatten. Dabei wird gezeigt, inwieweit sich einerseits politische und wirtschaftliche Entwicklungen auf die Stimmung in der Bevölkerung auswirkten, und wie andererseits der Majestätsbeleidigungsparagraph für die Unterdrückung unliebsamer politischer Strömungen instrumentalisiert wurde. Ein eigenes Kapitel ist schließlich der Unterdrückung von Kritik an Kaiser und Dynastie in der Presse gewidmet. Aufbauend auf eine Darlegung der presserechtlichen Rahmenbedingungen wird erörtert, wie die Zensur in der Praxis der Salzburger Behörden gehandhabt wurde, welche Artikel Anlass zu Konfiskationen gaben und welche politischen Entwicklungen und Ereignisse in der kaiserlichen Familie Anlass zu kritischen Berichten und Kommentaren gaben.

    Description: Im Mittelalter kam es durch neue Formen der Nutzung der Gewässer, insbesondere die Errichtung von Mühlen und damit verbundene wasserbauliche Maßnahmen, zu großen Veränderungen für Landschaft und Umwelt wie Siedlungsgefüge und soziale Strukturen. Der Band geht diesen Veränderungen nach. Die im Gefolge des hochmittelalterlichen Landesausbaus erfolgten gravierenden Veränderungen der Nutzung der Gewässer zeigen sich auf unterschiedliche Weise: in Schriftzeugnissen, archäologischen Funden und Befunden sowie in geographischen Namen. Die meisten Beiträge des Bandes widmen sich den Wassermühlen, u. a. auch ihren Benennungen; außerdem wird die Rolle von Flüssen als Verkehrswege beleuchtet. Geographisch liegt der Fokus vorrangig auf den Flussgebieten von Oder und Weichsel, weiterhin aber auch auf denjenigen von Elbe, Rhein, Main und Donau sowie auf Transsilvanien.

    Description: This book tells the story of Michi, one of 650 Japanese war brides who arrived in Australia in the early 1950s. The women met Australian servicemen in post-war Japan and decided to migrate to Australia as wives and fiancées to start a new life. In 1953, when Michi reached Sydney Harbour by boat with her two Japanese-born children, she knew only one person in Australia: her husband. She did not know any English so she quickly learned her first English phrase, “I like Australia”, in the car on the way from the harbour to meet her Australian family. In the last fifty years, she brought up seven children while the family moved from one part of Australia to another. Now, in her eighties, she leads a peaceful life in Adelaide, but remains active in many ways. Her voice is full of life and she looks and sounds much younger than her age.

    Description: What did the future hold for Rhodesia's white population at the end of a bloody armed conflict fought against settler colonialism? Would there be a place for them in newly independent Zimbabwe? Pioneers, Settlers, Aliens, Exiles sets out the terms offered by Robert Mugabe in 1980 to whites who opted to stay in the country they thought of as their home. The book traces over the next two decades their changing relationship with the country when the post-colonial government revised its symbolic and geographical landscape and reworked codes of membership. Particular attention is paid to colonial memories and white interpellation in the official account of the nation's rebirth and indigene discourses, in view of which their attachment to the place shifted and weakened. As the book describes the whites' trajectory from privileged citizens to persons of disputed membership and contested belonging, it provides valuable background information with regard to the land and governance crises that engulfed Zimbabwe at the start of the twenty-first century.

    Description: Protektion ist ein Schlüsselbegriff der politisch-sozialen Sprache der europäischen Neuzeit. Der Band rückt die sich wandelnden Semantiken und Praktiken des Schutzes vom 16. bis frühen 20. Jahrhundert erstmals systematisch in den Blick. Die Beiträge spannen einen weiten Bogen von Jean Bodins Definition von Protektion als ungleiche Allianz über das völkerrechtliche Institut des Protektorats bis hin zu den gegenwärtigen Debatten um eine responsibility to protect. Ausgewählte Fallbeispiele zeigen auf, dass politische Schutzverhältnisse nicht nur ein Macht- und Legitimationsinstrument der Großen waren. Sie stellten auch eine Option für mindermächtige Akteure dar, um ihre Unabhängigkeit zu wahren oder sich gegen Übergriffe des eigenen Herrschers zur Wehr zu setzen. Zugleich konnte die erlangte Sicherheit jedoch stets wieder in den Verlust der eigenen Selbständigkeit münden.

    Description: In the territory of historical Tyrol (i.e., the present Austrian province of Tyrol, South Tyrol, and Trentino), a huge number of Latin texts has been written from the Early Middle Ages to the 21th century. A good part of this literature has been preserved as manuscripts or printed books in the libraries and archives of monasteries, schools, universities, cities and other institutions. The present history of literature for the first time gives a systematic overview of these writings and describes them according to historical eras and literary genres. The single eras are separated from each other by events that had a massive impact on the conditions of production and reception of Latin literature in Tyrol. Each era is first generally characterised in historical and cultural terms; after that, its Latin poetry, rhetoric and eloquence, historiography, biography, epistolography, theology and other ecclesiastic writings, philosophy, medicine, natural sciences, law and jurisprudence are treated in single chapters. The literary history consists of two volumes. The first one includes the eras „From the beginnings to the unification of Tyrol under Count Meinhard II. (1285)“, „From the unification of Tyrol to the death of Emperor Maximilian I. (1519)“, „The 16th century until the death of Ferdinand II., Archduke of Further Austria (1595)“, and „The 17th century until the extinction of the Tyrolian line of the Habsburgs (1665) and the foundation of the University of Innsbruck (1669)“. The second volume comprises the eras „From the foundation of the University of Innsbruck to the abolition of the Jesuit order (1773)“, „From the expulsion of the Jesuits to the revolution of the year 1848“, and „From the revolution of 1848 until the present day“ as well as the bibliography and the indexes.
    Description: Von der umfangreichen Produktion lateinischer Texte, die auf dem Gebiet des historischen Tirol (heutiges Bundesland Tirol, Südtirol und Trentino) seit dem frühen Mittelalter bis ins 21. Jahrhundert entstanden sind, hat sich in den Bibliotheken und Archiven von Klöstern, Schulen, Universitäten, Städten und anderer Institutionen eine beträchtliche Zahl an Handschriften und Drucken erhalten. In der vorliegenden Literaturgeschichte werden diese Texte erstmalig systematisch gesichtet und nach Epochen und Gattungen gegliedert dargestellt. Als Epochengrenzen dienen Einschnitte und Ereignisse, die sich markant auf die Produktionbedingungen und Rezeption lateinischer Literatur in Tirol ausgewirkt haben. Jede Epoche wird zunächst allgemein in ihren historischen und kulturellen Entwicklungen charakterisiert, ehe sich Spezialbeiträge mit lateinischer Dichtung, Rhetorik und Beredsamkeit, Geschichtsschreibung, Biographie, Epistolographie, Theologie und kirchlichem Schrifttum, Philosophie, Medizin, Naturwissenschaft, Recht und Rechtswissenschaft befassen. Der erste der beiden Bände dieser Literaturgeschichte umfasst die Epochen "Von den Anfängen bis zur Tiroler Landeseinheit unter Graf Meinhard II. (1285)", "Von der Tiroler Landeseinheit bis zum Tod Kaiser Maximilians I. (1519)", "Das 16. Jh. bis zum Tod Erzherzog Ferdinands II. von Tirol (1595)" und "Das 17. Jh. bis zum Aussterben der Tiroler Linie der Habsburger (1665) und der Gründung der Universität Innsbruck (1669)". Der zweite Band dieser Literaturgeschichte umfasst die Epochen, aus denen sich das meiste Textmaterial erhalten hat: „Von der Gründung der Universität Innsbruck bis zur Aufhebung des Jesuitenordens (1773)“, „Von der Vertreibung der Jesuiten bis zur Revolution 1848“ und „Von der Revolution 1848 bis heute“. Außerdem schließen sich Bibliographie und Indices an.
