Reassembling the Republic of Letters in the Digital Age
Between 1500 and 1800, the rapid evolution of postal communication allowed ordinary men and women to scatter letters across Europe like never before. This exchange helped knit together what contemporaries called the ‘respublica litteraria’, a knowledge-based civil society, crucial to that era’s intellectual breakthroughs, formative of many modern values and institutions, and a potential cornerstone of a transnational level of European identity. Ironically, the exchange of letters which created this community also dispersed the documentation required to study it, posing enormous difficulties for historians of the subject ever since.

Forensic cultures in modern Europe
This edited volume examines the performance and role of scientific experts in modern European courts of law and police investigations. It discusses cases from criminal, civil and international law to parse the impact of forensic evidence and expertise in different European countries. The contributors show how modern forensic science and technology are inextricably entangled with political ideology, gender norms and changes in the law and legal systems. Discussing fascinating case studies, they highlight how the ideology of authoritarian and liberal regimes has affected the practical enactment of forensic expertise. They also emphasise the influence of images of masculinity and femininity on the performance of experts and on their assessment of evidence, victims and perpetrators. This book is an important contribution to our knowledge of modern European forensic practices.
Das Schweigen der Puppen
Wunderbare Pasta, gemütlicher Kerzenschein, romantische Musik – er hat alles für das perfekte Candle-Light-Dinner vorbereitet. Wie schade, dass seine Angebetete dafür so gar nichts übrig hat. Wie soll sie auch. Kristina Kuhn ist tot. Kriminalhauptkommissar Philipp Jansen steht vor seinem bis dato schwersten Fall. Die Studentin ist nicht nur grausam ermordet worden, sie sitzt geschminkt wie eine Puppe am Esstisch. Natürlich hat es Jansen mit einem Psychopathen zu tun. Mit einem Psychopathen und Serienkiller. Denn weitere geschminkte Leichen lassen nicht lange auf sich warten. Der Täter drapiert seine stillen Zeugen. Ein schauriges Bild. Und ein Wettkampf mit der Zeit. Denn die Boulevardpresse ist längst auf die Serie angesprungen: der Puppenspieler treibt sein Unwesen. Auch die Kölner Ermittlerin Iris Lottner hat es mit einer Leiche zu tun. Eine ältere Dame ist erschlagen worden. Gibt es eine Verbindung? Vermutlich schon. Sie ist zwar ungeschminkt, doch die Tat geschah weiteren zahlreichen Zeugen. Stillen Zeugen. Denn Puppen können nicht reden - sie sind schon tot.
