Humanities & Social SciencesJuly 2010Politics and provincial people
Sligo and Limerick, 1691–1761
by D. A. Fleming
This ground-breaking study is the first to systematically examine the politics and political culture of provincial Ireland. The book compares two distinct localities that provide differing perspectives on how politics and power manifested itself in provincial Ireland: Sligo in the north west and Limerick in the south west. Drawing on a wealth of previously unknown and under-utilised contemporary material, David Fleming focuses on individuals who were determined to shape the political landscape and those who were affected by their actions. The book challenges many accepted models of how Ireland and the Irish were governed. While the propertied élite dominated many aspects of the political process, individuals and groups from the professional, mercantile, rural and other sections of society - the 'middling orders' - were also active in local institutions and office-holding. Their story, recounted here, reveals a far more complex set of relationships. Politics and provincial people is a carefully constructed story of people's motivations, ideas, and actions, and offers new insights into the complexity of their lives and the Irish political landscape. ;

Humanities & Social SciencesFebruary 2023Eternal light and earthly concerns
Belief and the shaping of medieval society
by Paul Fouracre
In early Christianity it was established that every church should have a light burning on the altar at all times. In this unique study, Eternal light and earthly concerns, looks at the material and social consequences of maintaining these 'eternal' lights. It investigates how the cost of lighting was met across western Europe throughout the whole of the Middle Ages, revealing the social organisation that was built up around maintaining the lights in the belief that burning them reduced the time spent in Purgatory. When that belief collapsed in the Reformation the eternal lights were summarily extinguished. The history of the lights thus offers not only a new account of change in medieval Europe, but also a sustained examination of the relationship between materiality and belief.

September 1978Alexander Mitscherlich zu Ehren. Provokation und Toleranz
Festschrift für Alexander Mitscherlich zum siebzigsten Geburtstag im Namen des Sigmund-Freud-Instituts Frankfurt am Main
by Horst Vogel, Sibylle Drews, Rolf Klüwer, Angela Köhler-Weisker, Mechthild Krüger-Zeul, Klaus Menne, Clemens Boor
Alexander Mitscherlich wurde am 20. September 1978 70 Jahre alt. Seinem ungewöhnlichen Engagement ist es zu verdanken, dass die Psychoanalyse in der Bundesrepublik Deutschland in ihren wissenschaftlichen, therapeutischen und sozialpsychologischen Wirkungsmöglichkeiten wieder Fuß fassen konnte. Mitscherlich hat nach der Periode der »Gegenaufklärung«, der Zeit des Nationalsozialismus, sein ganzes Schaffen der Freiheit des Denkens und der Einübung in Toleranz gewidmet, unermüdlich gegen »hergestellte Dummheit« gekämpft und sich für den Wiederaufbau demokratischer Strukturen eingesetzt. Nach dem Studium der Geschichte, Philosophie, Kunstgeschichte und der Medizin vorm und im Krieg wurde er 1946 Privat-Dozent an der Heidelberger Universität. Zu den herausragenden Leistungen seiner weitgespannten Tätigkeiten gehört der Aufbau der Psychosomatischen Klinik Heidelberg, deren Direktor er von 1949-1967 war. Durch seine vielfältigen Kontakte zum Ausland und seinen Aufenthalt in England konnte er der psychoanalytischen Arbeit in dieser Klinik stets neue Impulse geben, sei es in Form der Vertiefung und Präzisierung psychoanalytischer Behandlungsmöglichkeiten und -techniken, sei es durch die Einführung der inzwischen auch in Deutschland etablierten Balintgruppen. Sein dominierendes wissenschaftliches Interesse galt damals der Entwicklung einer Theorie der psychosomatischen Erkrankungen, in deren Mittelpunkt er die Suche nach einem Zusammenhang zwischen körperlicher Erkrankung, (unbewussten) psychischen Prozessen und sozialen Umwelteinflüssen stellte. Seine Gabe, solchen Wechselwirkungen nachzuspüren und sie zum Gegenstand sowohl wissenschaftlicher Untersuchungen als auch des öffentlichen Interesses zu machen, schlug sich in seinem kontinuierlichen Kampf gegen die »Unwirtlichkeit unserer Städte« nieder, ebenso wie in seiner Lehrtätigkeit als Professor an der Universität Heidelberg, die gekennzeichnet war vom ständigen Bemühen, eine »Medizin ohne Menschlichkeit« aus ihrer naturwissenschaftlich-einseitgen Isoliertheit in einen sozialwissenschaftlichen Kontext zu stellen – was ihm nicht nur Freunde bescherte. Noch in die Heidelberger Zeit fällt die Gründung des Sigmund-Freud-Instituts in Frankfurt, dessen Direktor Alexander Mitscherlich von 1959 bis 1976 war und das bis heute Ort seines Schaffens ist. Es war weltweit das erste staatliche Institut, das sich der psychoanalytischen Forschung und Lehre widmet. Hier gelang es Mitscherlich, die Interdisziplinarität von psychoanalytisch orientierter Medizin, Psychologie und Soziologie zu institutionalisieren. Seine Lehrtätigkeit als Psychoanalytiker konnte er am ersten deutschen Lehrstuhl für Psychoanalyse an der Frankfurter Universität fortsetzen. In der Festschrift zu seinem 70. Geburtstag wird Alexander Mitscherlich von Freunden aus der Zeit des Wiederaufbaus der Psychoanalyse in der BRD, von wissenschaftlichen Kollegen, Mitarbeitern und Schülern, die in ganz unterschiedlichem, doch stets durch die Psychoanalyse vermittelten Bezug zu ihm stehen, geehrt.

HistoryFebruary 2017Gendered transactions
The white woman in colonial India, c.1820–1930
by Series edited by Andrew S. Thompson, Indrani Sen
This book seeks to capture the complex experience of the white woman in colonial India through an exploration of gendered interactions over the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. It examines missionary and memsahibs' colonial writings, both literary and non-literary, probing their construction of Indian women of different classes and regions, such as zenana women, peasants, ayahs and wet-nurses. Also examined are delineations of European female health issues in male authored colonial medical handbooks, which underline the misogyny undergirding this discourse. Giving voice to the Indian woman, this book also scrutinises the fiction of the first generation of western-educated Indian women who wrote in English, exploring their construction of white women and their negotiations with colonial modernities. This fascinating book will be of interest to the general reader and to experts and students of gender studies, colonial history, literary and cultural studies as well as the social history of health and medicine.

The ArtsDecember 2009Songs of protest, songs of love
Popular ballads in eighteenth-century Britain
by Robin Ganev, Jeffrey Richards
Songs of Protest, Songs of Love shows how songs can bring back voices from the past in a new way. The focus of the book is on rural Britain in a time of crisis. As the traditional rights of peasants were being jettisoned to enforce a new system of enclosure, rural labourers chanted out their concerns in songs of protest. These songs became increasingly strident and popular after the 1770s as rural life became even more precarious with fluctuating grain prices and uncertain employment opportunities. Many ballads in the eighteenth century were love songs. But these are also rich in social meaning. Many of these love songs celebrated the free and easy sexuality of rural workers, especially milkmaids and ploughmen, which was contrasted with the tepid and flaccid sex life attributed to urban aristocrats. The book will be of interest to scholars, advanced students and readers with an interest in cultural history and popular ballads. ;

Humanities & Social SciencesJuly 2005Late Imperial Russia
Problems and prospects
by Ian Thatcher
This volume offers a detailed examination of the stability of the late imperial regime in Russia. Students and scholars will appreciate the lively summaries of the latest scholarship in political, economic, social, cultural, and international history.

Pokrovskii's radical interpretation of late imperial Russia's historical path of development. The state of the Russian theatre is studied through the lives of theatrical impresarios. Each chapter also highlights a unique interpretation, suggesting new lines of inquiry and research. This book will be compulsory reading for students of Russian and European history of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries seeking to better understand why Tsarism collapsed in 1917. ;

Business, Economics & LawMarch 2009Global justice networks
Geographies of transnational solidarity
by Paul Routledge, Andrew Cumbers
This book provides a critical investigation of what has been termed the 'global justice movement'. Through a detailed study of a grassroots peasants' network in Asia (People's Global Action), an international trade union network (the International Federation of Chemical, Energy, Mining and General Workers) and the Social Forum process, it analyses some of the global justice movement's component parts, operational networks and their respective dynamics, strategies and practices. The authors argue that the emergence of new globally-connected forms of collective action against neoliberal globalisation are indicative of a range of place-specific forms of political agency that coalesce across geographic space at particular times, in specific places, and in a variety of ways. Rather than being indicative of a coherent 'movement', the authors argue that such forms of political agency contain many political and geographical fissures and fault-lines, and are best conceived of as 'global justice networks': overlapping, interacting, competing, and differentially-placed and resourced networks that articulate demands for social, economic and environmental justice. Such networks, and the social movements that comprise them, characterise emergent forms of trans-national political agency. The authors argue that the role of key geographical concepts of space, place and scale are crucial to an understanding of the operational dynamics of such networks. Such an analysis challenges key current assumptions in the literature about the emergence of a global civil society. ;

Humanities & Social SciencesNovember 2025Serfdom in medieval England
Theory and practice 1200 to 1500
by Mark Bailey
Serfdom was a coercive relationship between a landowner and peasant, which was widespread across medieval and early modern Europe. Itfeatures prominently in major historical debates, such as the origins of capitalism and the divergent pathways of western and eastern Europe to modernity. Scholars have paid particular attention to English serfdom, which is usually portrayed as highly oppressive and a major cause of the Peasants' Revolt in 1381. This comprehensive survey draws on a vast scholarship and new research to show how, in reality, English serfdom was weak, casting new light on the nature of its society and economy when the Black Death struck in 1348-9. The pandemicnow assumesa central role in the rapid decline of serfdom, as illustrated in a case study of the estate of one of England's harshest landowners, St Albans abbey.

Humanities & Social SciencesMay 2026The Carolingian South
by Sam Ottewill-Soulsby, Graeme Ward
The Carolingian South turns the Frankish world upside down by taking as its subject the lands of the Carolingian empire south of the Loire and the Alps. It assembles an international group of scholars from different disciplines to examine how the Carolingians defined and were defined by this region. This book asks how Carolingian power was created and negotiated in the south. It views the Frankish empire from the perspective of the Christian and Muslim polities of the Mediterranean, while also following the movement of people and ideas through the endlessly fascinating world that they made.

Humanities & Social SciencesFebruary 2026Make cheese not war
Transnational resistance and the Larzac in modern France
by Andrew W. M. Smith
In 1971, the French government announced a massive extension of its military base on the Larzac plateau in southern France. Land was to be expropriated from 107 farms around the small town of La Cavalerie. Limited resistance was expected, but what happened next exceeded all expectations. Local sheep farmers set up protest camps and occupied the land. They soon attracted an astonishing level of support, pioneering a form of regional radicalism with global implications. Drawing out the international dimensions of the protest, Make cheese not war explores a transnational resistance movement in the 1970s that challenged dominant visions of modernity and became a wellspring of radical alternatives. Exploring previously unconsulted archives in France and elsewhere, the book offers an in-depth analysis of the decade-long peasant movement and its aftermath. Repositioning the Larzac struggle within a wider network of French and international solidarities, from the US to the UK, Germany, Burkina Faso, New Caledonia and Japan, the book retraces political networks of pacifist activism, as well as environmental movements and anti-nuclear protest. It shows how this French peasant campaign became both a platform and a model for popular engagement.
