Offering a window into the history of the modern legal profession in Western Europe, Stephen Jacobson presents a history of lawyers in the most industrialized city on the Mediterranean. Far from being mere curators of static law, Barcelona's lawyers were at the center of social conflict and political and economic change, mediating between state, family, and society. Beginning with the resurrection of a decadent bar during the Enlightenment, Jacobson traces the historical evolution of lawyers throughout the long nineteenth century. Among the issues he explores are the attributes of the modern legal profession, how lawyers engaged with the Enlightenment, how they molded events in the Age of Re...

From the Straits of Gibraltar to Sicily, the European northern Mediterranean nations to the shores of North Africa, the western Mediterranean is a unique cultural and sociopolitical entity which has had a singular role in shaping today’s global society. The Western Mediterranean and the World is the fascinating story of the rise of that peculiar world and of its evolution from the end of the Western Roman Empire to the present. Uniquely, rather than present the history of the region as a strict chronological progression, the author takes a thematic approach, telling his story through a series of vignettes, case studies, and original accounts so as to provide a more immediate sense of what ...
Kann Hausarbeit zur Lohnarbeit werden? Virginia Kimey Pflücke untersucht diese Frage anhand eines historisch-soziologischen Vergleichs: Uruguay, das als Wegbereiter der Gleichstellung dieser Arbeitsbeziehung gilt, und Spanien, das europäische Land mit der größten Zahl an Hausangestellten. Die Studie zeigt die Entwicklung der bezahlten Hausarbeit von den Dienstmädchen des 19. Jahrhunderts, über erste Organisationen von Hausangestellten im angehenden 20. Jahrhundert, der Frauenfrage in den Gewerkschaften bis hin zur Dienstleistungsgesellschaft heute. So tritt die bewegte Geschichte von Arbeiterinnen hervor, in der sowohl politökonomische Strukturen als auch ideologische Kämpfe die Institutionalisierung der Hausarbeit bedingen.
