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.

In this book, Valérie Cordonier and Tommaso De Robertis provide the first study, along with edition and translation, of Chrysostomus Javelli's epitome of the Liber de bona fortuna (1531), the famous thirteenth-century Latin compilation of the chapters on fortune taken from Aristotle's Magna Moralia and Eudemian Ethics . An Italian university professor and a prominent figure in the intellectual landscape of sixteenth-century Europe, Javelli (ca. 1470-ca. 1542) commented on nearly the entirety of Aristotle's corpus. His epitome of the Liber de bona fortuna , the only known Renaissance reading produced on this work, offers an unparalleled insight into the early modern understanding of fortune, standing out as one of the most comprehensive witnesses to discussions on fate, fortune, and free will in the Western world.

In Metroimperial Intimacies Victor Román Mendoza combines historical, literary, and archival analysis with queer-of-color critique to show how U.S. imperial incursions into the Philippines enabled the growth of unprecedented social and sexual intimacies between native Philippine and U.S. subjects. The real and imagined intimacies-whether expressed through friendship, love, or eroticism-threatened U.S. gender and sexuality norms. To codify U.S. heteronormative behavior, the colonial government prohibited anything loosely defined as perverse, which along with popular representations of Filipinos, regulated colonial subjects and depicted them as sexually available, diseased, and degenerate. Mendoza analyzes laws, military records, the writing of Philippine students in the United States, and popular representations of Philippine colonial subjects to show how their lives, bodies, and desires became the very battleground for the consolidation of repressive legal, economic, and political institutions and practices of the U.S. colonial state. By highlighting the importance of racial and gendered violence in maintaining control at home and abroad, Mendoza demonstrates that studies of U.S. sexuality must take into account the reach and impact of U.S. imperialism.
