Abstract

This book is a quantitative study into the influence of the process of industrialisation on the nature and strength of family relationships in a Dutch community between 1850 and 1920. The study makes use of the unique and unusually rich source of Dutch population registers, which enables the author to trace the history of individual households. The study closely relates aspects of family and household with the social processes characteristic of an industrialising society, such as increasing rates of social and geographical mobility and the shift of production from the home into the factory. Results reveal a striking continuity in the strength of nineteenth-century family relations despite the gradual but profound process of social change surrounding these families. Changes in behavioural patterns did occur, however, under the influence of changes in demographic rates, regional geographical mobility systems and local developments in the housing market. Nevertheless, these changes cannot be taken as a weakening of family relationships.

Abstract

“Le superflu, chose très nécessaire”, schreef Voltaire in 1736 in zijn gedicht Le Mondain. Luxe is echter veel meer dan ‘gematerialiseerde overbodigheid’. Deze publicatie focust op verschillende vormen van opzichtige materiële cultuur in de Lage Landen van 1500 tot vandaag. Eerder dan voor de hand liggende cases van luxe te bestuderen, tast dit boek de grenzen van het begrip luxe af. Twee onderwerpen komen uitgebreid aan bod: het aanleggen van verzamelingen en het produceren/consumeren van voedsel als expressiemiddelen van welvaart en pracht en praal. Met bijdragen van gerenommeerde internationale onderzoekers uit diverse disciplines zoals archeologie, geschiedenis, literatuur- en mediastudies, kunstgeschiedenis, linguïstiek en historische etnologie.

Abstract

Cities of Commerce develops a model of institutional change in European commerce based on urban rivalry. Cities continuously competed with each other by adapting commercial, legal, and financial institutions to the evolving needs of merchants. Oscar Gelderblom traces the successive rise of Bruges, Antwerp, and Amsterdam to commercial primacy between 1250 and 1650, showing how dominant cities feared being displaced by challengers while lesser cities sought to keep up by cultivating policies favorable to trade. He argues that it was this competitive urban network that promoted open-access institutions in the Low Countries, and emphasizes the central role played by the urban power holders — the magistrates — in fostering these inclusive institutional arrangements. Gelderblom describes how the city fathers resisted the predatory or reckless actions of their territorial rulers, and how their nonrestrictive approach to commercial life succeeded in attracting merchants from all over Europe.Cities of Commerce intervenes in an important debate on the growth of trade in Europe before the Industrial Revolution. Challenging influential theories that attribute this commercial expansion to the political strength of merchants, this book demonstrates how urban rivalry fostered the creation of open-access institutions in international trade.
