Building a European Public Sphere / Un Espace Public Européen en Construction
The book edited by four known specialists of European history presents for the first time a discussion among European historians on the European public sphere since the 1950s. It treats the general perspective and deals also in special articles with the role played by the European Union, by the Council of Europe, and by national media such as television and film. The volume shows that the role of the European public sphere is often underestimated and that it is gradually becoming more influential and forceful not only in politics, but also in culture. Sous la direction de quatre spécialistes renommés de l'histoire européenne, cet ouvrage présente de façon inédite un débat entre histor...
The European Way
A good social history of Europe has yet to be written though, given the developments over the last few decades, this seems more urgent than ever before. This volume presents an important step forward in that it brings together eight internationally known social historians from Europe and Israel, each of whom offer an overview of some key themes in European history during the last two centuries. While dealing with the great changes of this period, the authors reveal the commonalities that link European societies together but also important differences at a national level.

Europe and Europeanness in Early Modern Latin Literature
The history of European integration goes back to the early modern centuries (c. 1400–1800), when Europeans tried to set themselves apart as a continental community with distinct political, religious, cultural, and social values in the face of hitherto unseen societal change and global awakening. The range of concepts and images ascribed to Europeanness in that respect is well documented in Neo-Latin literature, since Latin constituted the international lingua franca from the fifteenth to the eighteenth centuries. In Europe and Europeanness in Early Modern Latin Literature Isabella Walser-Bürgler examines the most prominent concepts of Europe and European identity as expressed in Neo-Latin sources. It is aimed at both an interested general audience and a professional readership from the fields of Latin studies, early modern history, and the history of ideas.
Reconsidering Europeanization
This pertinent and highly original volume explores how ideas of Europe and processes of continental political, socio-economic, and cultural integration have been intertwined since the nineteenth century. Applying a wider definition of Europeanization in the sense of "becoming European", it will pay equal attention to counter-processes of disentanglement and disintegration that have accompanied, slowed down, or displaced such trends and developments. By focusing on the practices, agents, and experience of Europeanization, the volume strives to bring together the history of ideas and the history of human actions and conduct, two approaches that are usually treated separately in the field of European studies.
Medievalia et Humanistica, No. 44
Since its founding in 1943, Medievalia et Humanistica has won worldwide recognition as the first scholarly publication in America to devote itself entirely to medieval and Renaissance studies. Since 1970, a new series, sponsored by the Modern Language Association of America and edited by an international board of distinguished scholars and critics, has published interdisciplinary articles. In yearly hardcover volumes, the new series publishes significant scholarship, criticism, and reviews treating all facets of medieval and Renaissance culture: history, art, literature, music, science, law, economics, and philosophy. Volume 44 showcases the interdisciplinary nature of the series with articles on the role of women in Old English martyrology, the blending of sacred and mundane subjects in medieval biblical plays (Spiele), the relationship between reality and literary topoi in the humanist praise of cities (Städtelob), and reflections on the absence of the bull in early modern European discourse. Volume 44 also includes five review notices that illustrate the journal’s interdisciplinary scope.
Geschlechtergeschichten der Neuzeit
The volume deals with international women's and gender history since the 1970s. It presents some early conceptualizations as well as retrospectives from today's point of view. Moreover, it deals with a series of grand themes which demonstrate the variety of women's and gender history: veritable and controversial "multiple stories" (Natalie Zemon Davis). These include the early modern Querelle des femmes, the rise of the new concept of "women's emancipation" in Germany through the 19th century, the national and transnational paths to women's citizenship, gender dimensions of the Nazi "racial state" and of the democratic welfare states. The volume combines social, political and intellectual history, national, comparative and transnational history, European and extra-European history. Some chapters were written specifically for this purpose, others appear here for the first time in German and some are reprinted in view of their impact on the development of the field.

Arbeit an der Geschichte
Die Beiträge des Bandes widmen sich der umfassenden Frage, was die Theorie für die Geschichtsschreibung leisten kann. Brauchen Historiker überhaupt Theorien? Und welche Rolle spielen speziell Theorien von Repräsentation in der Geschichtswissenschaft? Es kommen unter anderem Autoren zu Wort, die an historischen Fallbeispielen zeigen, was mit Theorien anzufangen ist und wie Geschichten erzählt werden müssen, die sich auf die Theorie berufen.
Medien der Aussenbeziehungen von der Antike bis zur Gegenwart
Welche Bedeutung besitzen Medien für die Außenbeziehungen? Wie werden Medien in der Außenpolitik eingesetzt? Welche Kommunikationsräume und gegenseitigen Wahrnehmungen konstruierten Medien und wie veränderten sich diese durch Kommunikationsrevolutionen und neue Medientypen? Welche Störungen rufen Medien hervor? Welche langfristigen Trends sind zu beobachten? Diesen Fragen widmen sich hier Beiträge aus unterschiedlichen Epochen, von der Antike bis zur Gegenwart, unter Anwendung eines breiten Medienbegriffs. Als entscheidender Faktor erweist sich zudem bei allen technischen Veränderungen immer wieder der Mensch: als Nutzer und Gestalter von Medien, aber auch als eigenständiges Medium der Außenbeziehungen.
