Nationalgeschichte im multikulturellen Raum
Die Nation war das zentrale Zukunftsprojekt des bürgerlichen 19. Jahrhunderts. Als Disziplin wie auch als Genre entstand in diesem Zusammenhang die Nationalgeschichte, die die Ursprünge der Nation in den Tiefen der Vergangenheit aufspüren und Ansprüche auf Menschen und Territorien legitimieren sollte. Zugleich produzierte sie einen Bildervorrat, der, durch Schule und Festtagskultur popularisiert, zur Basis politischer Kommunikation wurde. Doch wie passte sich eine so beschaffene Nationalgeschichte einem Umfeld an, das in hohem Maße durch Multikulturalität geprägt war und sich durch eine Pluralität konfessionell geprägter Erinnerungsgemeinschaften auszeichnete? Dieser Frage geht die Studie – die bürgerlich-serbische Erinnerungskultur in den Mittelpunkt rückend – für das habsburgische Bosnien-Herzegowina nach.

A Bibliography of East European Travel Writing on Europe
The bibliography volume of the three-volume East Looks West: East European Travel Writing in Europe collates travel writing published in book form by east Europeans travelling in Europe from ca. 1550 to 2000. It is intended as a fundamental research tool, collecting together travel writings within each national/linguistic tradition, and enabling comparative analysis of such material. It fills an important gap in the existing reference literature, both in western and east European languages, and will be of use to those working in the growing fields of comparative travel writing, regional and national identities, and postcolonialism.These texts exist in surprisingly large numbers, and include ...

Wealth in the Ottoman and Post-Ottoman Balkans
Wealth in the Ottoman and Post-Ottoman Balkans demonstrates the economic and social transformations wrought by wars, state centralization, European expansion and the gradual Ottoman withdrawal from the Balkans. As a new middle class emerged, and the power of religion faded, Ottoman and post-Ottoman social, economic and cultural norms changed rapidly across the region. This book illustrates not only how markers of wealth accumulation and poverty were socially defined across the region, but also the ways inequality was experienced, revealing the relationships between the state, economy, society, modernity in the context of Balkan, Ottoman and European development. Evguenia Davidova marshals a compendium of thirteen contributions wherein new archival data and various case studies frame a comparative social portrayal of the modern Balkans, offering new truths to the major discourses about nationalism, modernity, and the Ottoman legacy in the respective Balkan national historiographies.

The Byzantine Economy
This is a concise survey of the economy of the Byzantine Empire from the fourth century AD to the fall of Constantinople in 1453. Organised chronologically, the book addresses key themes such as demography, agriculture, manufacturing and the urban economy, trade, monetary developments, and the role of the state and ideology. It provides a comprehensive overview of the economy with an emphasis on the economic actions of the state and the productive role of the city and non-economic actors, such as landlords, artisans and money-changers. The final chapter compares the Byzantine economy with the economies of western Europe and concludes that the Byzantine economy was one of the most successful examples of a mixed economy in the pre-industrial world. This is the only concise general history of the Byzantine economy and will be essential reading for students of economic history, Byzantine history and medieval history more generally.
