A Badge of Injury
A Badge of Injury is a contribution to both the fields of queer and global history. It analyses gay and lesbian transregional cultural communication networks from the 1970s to the 2000s, focusing on the importance of National Socialism, visual culture, and memory in the queer Atlantic. Provincializing Euro-American queer history, it illustrates how a history of concepts which encompasses the visual offers a greater depth of analysis of the transfer of ideas across regions than texts alone would offer. It also underlines how gay and lesbian history needs to be reframed under a queer lens and understood in a global perspective. Following the journey of the Pink Triangle and its many iterations, A Badge of Injury pinpoints the roles of cultural memory and power in the creation of gay and lesbian transregional narratives of pride or the construction of the historical queer subject. Beyond a success story, the book dives into some of the shortcomings of Euro-American queer history and the power of the negative, writing an emancipatory yet critical story of the era.

Queere Männlichkeiten
Die zeitgenössische Ikonographie queeren männlichen Begehrens ist das Produkt einer Schichtung und Sedimentierung vergangener Konzeptionen von Geschlecht und Sexualität. Nicholas Maniu analysiert ebendiese wechselhafte Diskursgeschichte von tradierter und devianter Männlichkeit sowie (Homo-)Sexualität. Ausgehend von der Gedankenfigur des Palimpsests legt er die zwischen Oppression und Emanzipation oszillierende Diskursivierung queerer Männlichkeit dar: Von der Päderastie über die Sodomie bis hin zur Pathologisierung verfolgen die Geister der Vergangenheit den homosexuellen Mann bis heute und prägen unweigerlich seine Bilder.

Nicolae Iorga
Draws on archival sources and family documents as well as Iorga's vast output of writing to interpret the life of the 20th-century nationalist historian and Romanian politician. He seems to have been born in the early 1870s and to have been killed by Nazis in 1940. Among the chapters are nationalism and the writing of history, the uncertain triumph, the struggle toward tragedy, the Axis rainbow, and consideration of his life and work at the end of the 20th century. The narrative is very smooth but information not very accessible. Distributed in the US by ISBS. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
Nicolae Iorga
The Romanian historian Nicolae Iorga played a critical role in the history of his country for more than fifty years until his tragic death in 1940. The author of more than 1,200 books and 20,000 articles, Iorga was one of the most prolific scholars of all time. In recognition of his academic achievements, he received honorary doctorates from universities around the world. Nicolae Iorga is the first comprehensive biography of one of the most important European cultural and political personalities of the first half of the twentieth century. It considers Iorga not only as a historian, politician, journalist, literary critic, playwright, writer, poet, and linguist, but also as an orator, teacher, and a human being.Written by Nicholas M. Nagy-Talavera, a leading American scholar, and based on archival sources and family documents, this is the first biography to present a complete portrait of the world-renowned historian Nicolae Iorga.
Sunsphere
When two unpublished 18th century manuscripts are re-discovered, they appear to authenticate the events described in Sunsphere, the most recent mega-selling novel by Mark Arden, the author of blockbusting historical conspiracy thrillers. Had Arden inadvertently stumbled upon a genuine great secret when he wrote his multi million seller? And is there, as the manuscripts seem to suggest, a real mystery to be unravelled? Convincing themselves there must be, three investigators set out to follow the trail of clues that begin in the country house where the first manuscript was discovered. Here a secret code is unearthed, the solution to which points them in the direction of Venice and more specif...
