Salzhandel in der Mitte Europas
Der Salzhandel zwischen Bayern mit seinen leistungsfähigen Salinen und den Kantonen der Schweiz war zumeist staatlich monopolisiert. Im Spannungsfeld von Außenpolitik und wirtschaftlichen Interessen bewirkten in der zweiten Hälfte des 18. Jahrhunderts innovative Praktiken zwischenstaatlichen Kommunizierens und der Organisation von Räumen eine deutliche Intensivierung dieser lukrativen Handelsverbindung. An die Stelle der im Zeremoniell verhafteten Diplomatie setzten die Akteure aus den Wirtschaftsverwaltungen pragmatische Formen der Kommunikation. Die bayerische Hofkammer errichtete in den Reichsstädten Buchhorn (dem heutigen Friedrichshafen) und Lindau exterritoriale Salzämter und kon...

Cotton in Context
- While cotton was a world-changing good in the early modern period, for producers, merchants, and consumers, it was but one of many different fabrics. This volume explores this dichotomy by contextualizing cotton within its contemporary culture of textiles. In doing, it focuses on a long, under-researched region: the German-speaking world, particularly Switzerland, which transformed into one of the most prolific European regions for the production of printed cottons in the eighteenth century. Sixteen contributions investigate the (globally entangled) history of Indiennes, silk, wool, and embroideries, giving new insights into the manufacturing, marketing, and consumption of textiles between 1500 and 1900.

Gender Innovation and Migration in Switzerland
This open access book analyses migration and its relation to socio-political transformation in Switzerland. It addresses how migration has made new forms of life possible and shows how this process generated gender innovation in different fields: the changing division of work, the establishment of a nursery infrastructure, access to higher education for women, and the struggle for female suffrage. Seeing society through the lens of migration alters the perspective from which our past and thus our present is told—and our future imagined.
Landschaft, Senn und Kuh. Die Entdeckung der Appenzeller Volkskunst
Von der Kuriosität über das ethnographische Objekt zum Kunstgegenstand: Die Appenzeller Volkskunst hatte in den letzten hundert Jahren eine wechselvolle Biographie. Seit ihrer Entdeckung sind die vielfältigen Objekte in eine spannende und beziehungsreiche Geschichte eingewoben, in der bürgerliche Sammler, Volkskundler und Museumsleute, appenzellische Künstler und Sennen eine Rolle spielen. Wie in Sammlungen vielfältiges Wissen generiert wird, lässt sich an dieser Objektgeschichte beispielhaft nachvollziehen.
