Fuentes geohistóricas, nuevas tecnologías, nuevos retos
Geohistorical sources, among which are those of the catastral and paracatastral type, generally have greater heterogeneity and typological variety than in their current versions. Thus, research with geohistorical sources, approached from multiple disciplines (Geography, History, Art, Anthropology, Environmental Sciences, Urban Planning, Architecture, Demography...) represents a great boost for the analysis, knowledge and study of the territory, of landscapes and society from a spatiotemporal perspective. This publication with the title Geohistorical sources, new technologies, new challenges was born from the 1st lnternational Congress of Geohistorical Sources: territory and society in time w...

Peter I. – Zar und Kaiser
Peter I., propagandistisch gern als "der Große" bezeichnet, dürfte zu den bekanntesten Persönlichkeiten der russischen Geschichte zählen: Zar und Zimmermann, Erbauer von St. Petersburg, Begründer eines neuen Russlands. Über 300 Jahre hinweg wurde der Herrscher glorifiziert, und bis heute ist er für russische Geschichtspolitik und imperiale Aggressionen von besonderer Bedeutung. Die Kieler Historikerin Martina Winkler widerspricht in ihrer Biografie den Klischees und zeichnet ein neues Porträt Peters I. und seiner Politik. Im Fokus des Buches stehen die Bedeutung von Peters Mitstreitern und Rivalen, die kulturellen Muster, denen er folgte, die Kompromisse, auf die er sich einließ, und die Widerstände, auf die er traf. Die Autorin entwirft so ein komplexes Bild Russlands des 17. und frühen 18. Jahrhunderts, das überraschende Entwicklungen und enge, vielfältige Verflechtungen im Rahmen globaler frühneuzeitlicher Dynamiken deutlich macht.
States of Credit
States of Credit provides the first comprehensive look at the joint development of representative assemblies and public borrowing in Europe during the medieval and early modern eras. In this pioneering book, David Stasavage argues that unique advances in political representation allowed certain European states to gain early and advantageous access to credit, but the emergence of an active form of political representation itself depended on two underlying factors: compact geography and a strong mercantile presence. Stasavage shows that active representative assemblies were more likely to be sustained in geographically small polities. These assemblies, dominated by mercantile groups that lent ...
Andrey Platonov
This book traces the originality of Andrey Platonov’s vision of the Revolution in readings of his works. It has been common in Platonov scholarship to measure him within the parameters of a political pro et contra the October Revolution and Soviet society, but the proposal of this book is to look for the way in which the writer continuously asked into the disastrous aspects of the implementation of a new proletarian community for what they could tell us about the promise of the Revolution to open up the experience of the world as common. In readings of selected works by Andrei Platonov I follow the development of his chronicle of revolutionary society, and from within it the outline of the...
Alexander Bogdanov and the Politics of Knowledge after the October Revolution
In this book, Maria Chehonadskih unsettles established narratives about the formation of a revolutionary canon after the October Revolution. Displacing the centre of gravity from dialectical materialism to the rapid dissemination, canonisation and decline of a striking convergence of empiricism and Marxism, she explores how this tendency, overshadowed by official historiography, establishes a new attitude to modernity and progress, nature and environment, agency and subjectivity, party and class, knowledge and power. The book traces the adventure of the synthesis of empiricism and Marxism across philosophy, science, politics, art and literature from the 1890s to the 1930s, offering a radical rethinking of the true scope and scale that the main proponent of Empirio-Marxism, Alexander Bogdanov, had on the post-revolutionary socialist legacies. Chehonadskih draws on both key and forgotten figures and movements, such as Proletkult, Productivism and Constructivism, filling a gap in the literature that will be particularly significant for Marxism, continental philosophy, art theory and Slavic studies specialists.

Une fiscalité de guerre?
"La Première Guerre mondiale a constitué à la fois un tournant et un bouleversement pour les finances publiques des pays belligérants : en mobilisant de nouvelles ressources financières, le conflit a tout d'abord remis en question les équilibres monétaires et financiers ; il a également ouvert un long cycle de déficit budgétaire, d'endettement et d'inflation. L'étude de ce front financier a fait l'objet d'une première publication de travaux inédits sur une question jusque-là peu étudiée. À l'échelle des institutions politiques et financières, la Grande Guerre a déstabilisé le système de gestion des finances publiques et engendré désorganisation administrative, désord...
