Women and Family Property
This book examines property legislation and the actual position of women in receiving, holding and passing on family property as daughters, wives and as widows throughout history. Traditionally the prevailing view has been that women have been disadvantaged in the distribution of property and therefore less interesting as objects of study. This volume challenges this view and explores the securing of property for families or for individuals through transfers in the shape of dowries, marriage contracts, wills and other arrangements, as well as how women used and distributed the property they were holding.The scope of the volume is both urban and rural, analysing the position of women in relation to family property through contributions from a wide geographic area. The chapters investigate the situation in southern and northern Europe, across the Atlantic and Africa throughout the 18th to the 20th century. This volume will be of value to academics, undergraduates, postgraduates and scholars interested in gender and history and social history.
Crime, Gender and Social Control in Early Modern Frankfurt am Main
This book charts the lives of (suspected) thieves, illegitimate mothers and vagrants in early modern Frankfurt. The book highlights the gender differences in recorded criminality and the way that they were shaped by the local context. Women played a prominent role in recorded crime in this period, and could even make up half of all defendants in specific European cities. At the same time, there were also large regional differences. Women’s crime patterns in Frankfurt were both similar and different to those of other cities. Informal control within the household played a significant role and influenced the prosecution patterns of authorities. This impacted men and women differently, and created clear distinctions within the system between settled locals and unsettled migrants.

Die unterschiedlichen theoretischen Konzepte zur Analyse der frühneuzeitlichen Epoche

Länder - Neuzeit, Absolutismus, Industrialisierung, Note: 2.3, Freie Universität Berlin, Veranstaltung: Herrschaft in der Frühen Neuzeit, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: 1) Einleitung Herrschaft in der Frühen Neuzeit lässt sich nicht auf ein einziges Zentrum festlegen, vielmehr ist sie gekennzeichnet von Partikularität der diversen Machtfaktoren, von Wandel von personaler hin zu institutioneller Herrschaft, welche sich auf verschiedenen Ebenen und für die einzelnen Beziehungsgeflechte unterschiedlich vollzog, von nebeneinander existierenden Herrschaftsräumen wie Stadt und Land, kurz: von außerordentlicher Dynamik un...
La permanence de l'extraordinaire
La quatrième de couverture indique : "Cet ouvrage ne propose pas une histoire de la fiscalité : il examine les conflits qui entourent le paiement de l'impôt d'Empire dans le Saint-Empire romain germanique aux XVIIe et XVIIIe siècles. Au coeur de l'analyse se trouvent les ressorts de la construction spatiale et sociale du pouvoir, le consentement à la soumission et son refus. En suivant l'impôt, on découvre un fourmillement de relations de pouvoir, leur proclamation et leur renégociation permanentes. Car la fiscalité n'est pas un simple transfert d'argent : vecteur de l'ordonnancement du monde social, prérogative régalienne et instrument d'affirmation du pouvoir, elle est au coeur ...
Zeitungen vor der Zeitung
Als wichtigstes europäisches Kommunikationszentrum nimmt Augsburg zu Beginn der Neuzeit eine herausragende Stellung ein. Bedeutende Handelshäuser wie das der Fugger nutzten die Infrastruktur der Post zur zeitnahen Kommunikation mit ihren Filialen.

Sie beinhaltet über 16 000 handschriftliche Nachrichten aus ganz Europa und den überseeischen Kolonien in Amerika und Indien. Die vorliegende Studie analysiert den Inhalt dieser Nachrichten und geht der Frage nach, zu welchem Zweck sie eingefordert, g...
