Im August 2017 sorgte ein Beitrag von Kristen R. Ghodsee in der New York Times für Furore. Der Titel: Warum Frauen im Sozialismus besseren Sex hatten. Bei »Sozialismus« mögen viele an alte Männer in grauen Anzügen denken. Tatsächlich aber garantierten zahlreiche sozialistische Länder ihren Bürgerinnen durch die Integration in den Arbeitsmarkt, Lohngleichheit und eine aktive Sozial- und Familienpolitik ein hohes Maß an ökonomischer Unabhängigkeit. Das erlaubte vielen Frauen, ihre Partner nicht nur unter dem Gesichtspunkt wirtschaftlicher Absicherung, sondern eben auch unter dem der individuellen Entfaltung zu wählen. Dreißig Jahre nach dem Ende des Staatssozialismus blickt die Historikerin und Ethnografin zurück und untersucht die Auswirkungen der kapitalistischen Transformation auf die Leben von Frauen. Die Lasten einer unregulierten Wirtschaft, so das Ergebnis ihres Essays, den sie nun erweitert als Buch vorlegt, tragen vor allem Frauen. Und sie sind es, die durch eine gerechtere Gesellschaft am meisten zu gewinnen haben.

Masques of difference presents an annotated edition of four seventeenth-century entertainments written by Ben Jonson for the court of James I. These masques reflect both the confidence and the anxieties of the English aristocracy at a time when notions of monarchy, empire, and national identity were being radically redefined. All four masques reflect the royal court's self-representation as moral, orderly, and just, in contrast to stylised images of chaotically (and exotically) 'othered' groups: Africans, the Irish, witches, and the homoeroticised figure of the Gypsy. This edition presents two masques that have received recent attention in the classroom - The Masque of Blackness and The Masque of Queens - and two that have never before been anthologised for the student reader - The Irish Masque at Court and The Masque of the Gypsies Metamorphosed. This anthology offers students the latest in scholarship and critical theory and essential clues for understanding the ideologies that shaped many of the modern structures of English culture.

In this book, Michael R. Lynn analyses the popularisation of science in Enlightenment France. He examines the content of popular science, the methods of dissemination, the status of the popularisers and the audience, and the settings for dissemination and appropriation. Lynn introduces individuals like Jean-Antoine Nollet, who made a career out of applying electric shocks to people, and Perrin, who used his talented dog to lure customers to his physics show. He also examines scientifically oriented clubs like Jean-François Pilâtre de Rozier's Musée de Monsieur which provided locations for people interested in science. Phenomena such as divining rods, used to find water and ores as well as to solve crimes; and balloons, the most spectacular of all types of popular science, demonstrate how people made use of their new knowledge. Lynn's study provides a clearer understanding of the role played by science in the Republic of Letters and the participation of the general population in the formation of public opinion on scientific matters.
