The Limits of Empire: European Imperial Formations in Early Modern World History
This volume, published in honor of historian Geoffrey Parker, explores the working of European empires in a global perspective, focusing on one of the most important themes of Parker’s work: the limits of empire, which is to say, the centrifugal forces - sacral, dynastic, military, diplomatic, geographical, informational - that plagued imperial formations in the early modern period (1500-1800). During this time of wrenching technological, demographic, climatic, and economic change, empires had to struggle with new religious movements, incipient nationalisms, new sea routes, new military technologies, and an evolving state system with complex new rules of diplomacy. Engaging with a host of ...

Violence, Trauma, and Memory

The essays, focusing on history, literature, and visual culture, demonstrate how people living with wartime violence processed and remembered the trauma of war.
Formative Modernities in the Early Modern Atlantic and Beyond
This book offers a new perspective on the concept of modernity. Since its invention as a contrast to Antiquity or the Middle Ages, modernity has been tied to ideas of superiority, progress, and efficiency. As a counterpart to the Marxist “history of class struggle”, “modernization theories” have transformed modernity into an almost teleological concept of historical development. These strong connotations obstruct a clear look at other forms of modernity. The contributions of the volume will show in a comparative perspective how modernity can also be understood and analyzed as multiple responses of societies and polities to organize themselves in facing ever more complex and integrated interactions at ever larger scales.
Spanische Universalmonarchie oder "teutsche Libertet"
Den Ver�nderungen des Weltbildes nachzuspueren, wie sie im Verlaufe des Drei�igj�hrigen Krieges in der antispanischen Propaganda zutage traten und wie sie sich an der Diskussion ueber die Rolle und Qualit�t des spanischen Imperiums entzuendeten, bildet den Gegenstand dieser Untersuchung. Insbesondere die protestantische Seite sah durch die Pr�senz Spaniens die �teutsche Libertet� bedroht und fuerchtete die Errichtung einer �Universalmonarchie�. Dabei wird anhand der Flugschriftentexte, aber auch der illustrierten Flugbl�tter deutlich, da� dieser Begriff vielschichtig auslegbar war und dem Publikum im Reich konkurrierende �Weltvorstellungen� pr�sentiert worden. Die...
Empresaris, nobles i vinyaters
Un recull ampli que representa una excellent mostra de la producció sobre història agrària –concretament sobre vitivinicultura– del professor Emili Giralt.
