Growing Up Working Class
This study of working-class culture, youth behavior, and the response of youths to conditions in a European setting acknowledges that poverty existed among much of the working class but questions the implicit arguments that these conditions necessarily brought about destructive responses. Until recently, various simplistic paradigms have dominated studies of European workers. These have stressed the misery of urban laborers in a capitalistic society, the functional importance of the isolated nuclear family in an industrial society, or the violent, authoritarian, and intolerant nature of working-class society as a result of cultural deprivation.

Lexikon der Kölner Architekten vom Mittelalter bis zum 20. Jahrhundert
Mit dem hier vorgelegten Lexikon der Kölner Architekten wird ein Lebenswerk von Wolfram Hagspiel (14.05.1952-03.06.2021) postum veröffentlicht, das seinesgleichen sucht. In über vier Jahrzehnten hat der Kölner Kunsthistoriker, Architekturhistoriker und Denkmalpfleger detailreich Informationen über Leben und Wirken von über 10.300 Architekten ausgewertet und erfasst. Über viele war bisher nur wenig bekannt. Hagspiel hat Archivquellen, graue Literatur und Monographien ausgewertet. Aufnahme fanden auch Personen, die bis ins 20. Jahrhundert aus der Bauwirtschaft stammend Architektur entwarfen, wie Baumeister, Maurermeister und Statiker. Der Autor, der nach 45 Jahren ein umfangreiches Oeuvre zur Kölner Architekturgeschichte hinterlassen hat, gibt damit erstmals einen Überblick über die Personen, die die Stadt seit Jahrhunderten gestalterisch erlebbar machten und machen.
Servants of Culture
In nineteenth century Cisleithanian Austria, poor, working-class women underwent mass migrations from the countryside to urban centers for menial or unskilled labor jobs. Through legal provisions on women’s work in the Habsburg Empire, there was an increase in the policing and surveillance of what was previously a gender-neutral career, turning it into one dominated by thousands of female rural migrants. Servants of Culture provides an account of Habsburg servant law since the eighteenth century and uncovers the paternalistic and maternalistic assumptions and anxieties which turned the interest of socio-political players in improving poor living and working conditions into practices that created restrictive gender and class hierarchies. Through pioneering analysis of the agendas of medical experts, police, socialists, feminists, legal reformers, and even serial killers, this volume puts forth a neglected history of the state of domestic service discourse at the turn of the 19th century and how it shaped and continues to shape the surveillance of women.
