Sophie Marie Scheller wird 1840 als Tochter eines Gastwirts in dem Waldenserdorf Dornholzhausen bei Bad Homburg v. d. Höhe geboren. Im Alter von 28 Jahren heiratet sie den Schlosser Adam Opel aus Rüsselsheim. Zusammen mit ihrem Ehemann und den fünf gemeinsamen Söhnen baut sie im Zeitalter der Industrialisierung das äußerst erfolgreiche Unternehmen OPEL auf und führt es nach seinem Tod weiter. Tausende Arbeiter finden hier eine gesicherte Beschäftigung, und die in Rüsselsheim gefertigten Nähmaschinen, Fahrräder und Automobile erobern die Märkte weltweit.
The papers in this volume derive from the proceedings of the nineteenth International Bronze Congress, held at the Getty Center and Villa in October 2015 in connection with the exhibition Power and Pathos: Bronze Sculpture of the Hellenistic World. The study of large-scale ancient bronzes has long focused on aspects of technology and production. Analytical work of materials, processes, and techniques has significantly enriched our understanding of the medium. Most recently, the restoration history of bronzes has established itself as a distinct area of investigation. How does this scholarship bear on the understanding of bronzes within the wider history of ancient art? How do these technical data relate to our ideas of styles and development? How has the material itself affected ancient and modern perceptions of form, value, and status of works of art? www.getty.edu/publications/artistryinbronze
The advent of transnational economic production and market integration compels sociologists of work to look beyond traditional national boundaries and build an international sociology of work in order to effectively address the human, scientific, and practical challenges posed by global economic transnationalism. The purpose of this volume is to promote transnational dialogue about the sociology of work and help build a truly international discipline in this field.
