Im 19. und 20. Jahrhundert wurde die Literatur zum Verhandlungsort jüdischer Weiblichkeitsentwürfe, zu einem Experimentierraum, in dem zeitge¬nössische Diskurse über und anhand jüdischer Frauenfiguren ausgetragen und erprobt wurden. Es entstand eine Wechselwirkung zwischen literarischen Texten und der Wahrnehmung jüdischer Frauen, zwischen einer meist männlichen Perspektive und einem weiblich-jüdischen Selbstbild. Denn literarischen Weiblichkeitsentwürfen war zumeist ein Schreiben über (jüdische) Frauen inhärent. Weiblich(-jüdisches) Schreiben blieb eine Randerscheinung. Das gilt insbesondere für das 20. Jahrhundert: Die Pathologisierung von Frauen(-körpern) im Fin de Siècle wirkte nach und nahm Einfluss auf alle Lebensbereiche; für jüdische Frauen galt das durch eine Engführung von Antisemitismus und Misogynie in besonderer Weise. Im Mittelpunkt dieser Untersuchung stehen daher literarische Präsentationen jüdischer Frauen – jüdische Weiblichkeit als Paradigma männlicher Autorschaft. In the nineteenth and, in particular, twentieth centuries, literature became a place to negotiate ideas of Jewish femininity, an experimental space in which contemporary discourses were carried out and tried out on and using female Jewish characters. Literary portrayals of Jewish women and therefore Jewish femininity as a paradigm of male authorship are thus at the center of this study.

Rigorously inventive and revelatory in its adventurousness, 1650–1850 opens a forum for the discussion, investigation, and analysis of the full range of long-eighteenth-century writing, thinking, and artistry. Combining fresh considerations of prominent authors and artists with searches for overlooked or offbeat elements of the Enlightenment legacy, 1650–1850 delivers a comprehensive but richly detailed rendering of the first days, the first principles, and the first efforts of modern culture. Its pages open to the works of all nations and language traditions, providing a truly global picture of a period that routinely shattered boundaries. Volume 27 of this long-running journal is no exception to this tradition of focused inclusivity. Readers will travel through a blockbuster special feature on the topic of worldmaking and other worlds—on the Enlightenment zest for the discovery, charting, imagining, and evaluating of new worlds, envisioned worlds, utopian worlds, and worlds of the future. Essays in this enthusiastically extraterritorial offering escort readers through the science-fictional worlds of Lady Cavendish, around European gardens, over the high seas, across the American frontiers, into forests and exotic ecosystems, and, in sum, into the unlimited expanses of the Enlightenment mind. Further enlivening the volume is a cavalcade of full-length book reviews evaluating the latest in eighteenth-century scholarship.

“With extraordinary clarity, the authors present one century of sociology in Serbia. Pioneers and mediators, institutions and reviews, currents and debates, relations with the state and the civil society – nothing escapes their attention. But they accomplish much more than that. The book is also a fascinating journey through Serbian society from 19th to 21th centuries, and an original reflection on the social sciences and the ways social scientists use them, beyond geographic and disciplinary boundaries.” —Xavier Bougarel, National Center for Scientific Research, Paris “Sociology came late to the region, and was always the object of political hostility or efforts at political control. Some sociologists resisted, some used the tension to their advantage, but most tried to maintain the autonomy of the field. This book shows how sociologists’ successes and failures at keeping the project alive fed new ideas, new research, and new divisions.” —Eric Gordy, School of Slavonic and East European Studies, University College London “The history of sociology in Serbia is full of “false starts, attempts cut short, legacies petering out, memories obliterated, and beginnings from scratch”. It is a story unlike any I know; it is deeply relatable for anyone who cares about the autonomy of social science under political pressures, whether in the center or in the peripheries of our conflict-stricken world.” —Marta Bucholc, Faculty of Sociology, University of Warsaw/Centre de recherche en science politique, Université Saint-Louis Bruxelles This book represents the first comprehensive century-long history of the disciplinary development of sociology in Serbia in English. It provides an overview of the constitution of sociology as an academic discipline during the interwar period, its reinstitutionalization after World War II in entirely new social circumstances marked by establishment of self-management socialism in Yugoslavia, and finally its development during the turbulent postsocialist period. Divided into five chapters, the focus of the book is on the challenges that sociology has faced in order to maintain its institutional position, gain adequate social recognition, and preserve its professional autonomy. Relying on Bourdieu's concept of the academic field and Burawoy's typology of Professional, Critical, Public and Policy sociology, the book seeks to answer the question of how the sociological academic field in Serbia has been constituted, structured and restructured, and in which of these roles sociology has dominantly appeared in different phases of its evolution.

"This book is available as open access through the Bloomsbury Open Access programme and is available on www.bloomsburycollections.com. It is funded by Princeton University, USA. The end of the Second World War and the eclipse of empires brought a wave of efforts to reimagine the future world order. When nation states emerging from colonial rule met at Bandung to chart alternative destinies and challenge global inequalities, they hoped to create a less hierarchical, more pluralistic and more distributive world. This volume considers the alternative visions put forth by the third world at the close of WWII to recover their world-changing aspirations as well as its cultural and intellectual breakthroughs. Demonstrating how the invention of the third world sought to create new institutions of solidarity, new expressions and alternative narratives to the imperial ones that they had inherited, this book reveals how writers, artists, musicians and photographers created networks to circulate and exchange these ideas. Exploring these ideas put forth from various regions of the global south, the chapters trace their search for new meanings of freedom, self-determination and the promise of development. Out of this moment came efforts in the south to create new histories of global relations, icons and genres, and placed the promises of decolonization and struggles for social and racial justice at the centre of global history. Showing how efforts to remake the world intersected with and altered the trajectories of the global Cold War, Inventing the Third World discusses how this conflict existed outside of the traditional east-west framework and offers an insight into a radically different 'global cultural cold war'. It shows that the Cold War era was marked by attempts to bring about a different world order that would achieve global racial, social justice and a different kind of peace."--

Historians make research queries on Google, ProQuest, and the HathiTrust. They garner information from keyword searches, carried out across millions of documents, their research shaped by algorithms they rarely understand. Historians often then visit archives in whirlwind trips marked by thousands of digital photographs, subsequently explored on computer monitors from the comfort of their offices. They may then take to social media or other digital platforms, their work shaped through these new forms of pre- and post-publication review. Almost all aspects of the historian's research workflow have been transformed by digital technology. In other words, all historians - not just Digital Historians - are implicated in this shift. The Transformation of Historical Research in the Digital Age equips historians to be self-conscious practitioners by making these shifts explicit and exploring their long-term impact. This title is also available as Open Access on Cambridge Core.

Der Band bietet Einblicke in die Entstehungsgeschichte und die Grundgedanken der Rekonstruktiven Sozialforschung, insbesondere der Dokumentarischen Methode und ihrer Grundlagentheorie, der Praxeologischen Wissenssoziologie. Dies wird in der Form eines Dialogs und partiell in erzählerischer Form entlang der Biografie Ralf Bohnsacks entfaltet und eröffnet einen lebendigen Zugang zu methodischen und theoretischen Fragen gerade auch für deren Vermittlung in der Lehre. Im Zentrum steht dabei die Bedeutung der Praxis: Damit ist sowohl die Forschungspraxis, inkl. der Lehrforschung, gemeint als auch die Praxis derjenigen, die Gegenstand der Forschung sind. Erläutert wird dies an Beispielen aus den Forschungsbereichen Jugend, Jugendkriminalität und Jugendgewalt sowie Organisation und Professionalisierung. Im Zentrum stehen dabei die Forschungsmethoden der Gesprächsanalyse, der Bildinterpretation sowie der Video- und Filmanalyse. In form of a dialogue and partly also by narrations fundamental ideas of the reconstructive social research, the Documentary Method and its basic theory, the Praxeological Theory of Knowledge, are imparted in a lively manner. The main focus is on the importance of practice - as well the research practice, including research training, as also the practice of those under research. All this is exemplified by research on youth, juvenile delinquency and violence and on people processing organizations and professionalisation.

Places Ellis at the heart of early-Victorian Cambridge with in-depth descriptions on his scientific work and tragic life Provides a unique glimpse into Victorian intellectual culture, based on previously unpublished archival materials This open access book brings together for the first time all aspects of the tragic life and fascinating work of the polymath Robert Leslie Ellis (1817–1859), placing him at the heart of early-Victorian intellectual culture. Written by a diverse team of experts, the chapters in the book’s first part contain in-depth examinations of, among other things, Ellis’s family, education, Bacon scholarship and mathematical contributions. The second part consists of annotated transcriptions of a selection of Ellis’s diaries and correspondence. Taken together, A Prodigy of Universal Genius: Robert Leslie Ellis, 1817–1859 is a rich resource for historians of science, historians of mathematics and Victorian scholars alike. Robert Leslie Ellis was one of the most intriguing and wide-ranging intellectual figures of early Victorian Britain, his contributions ranging from advanced mathematical analysis to profound commentaries on philosophy and classics and a decisive role in the orientation of mid-nineteenth century scholarship. This very welcome collection offers both new and authoritative commentaries on the work, setting it in the context of the mathematical, philosophical and cultural milieux of the period, together with fascinating passages from the wealth of unpublished papers Ellis composed during his brief and brilliant career. - Simon Schaffer, Department of History and Philosophy of Science, University of Cambridge
