The literarisation of the early modern Baltic Sea region was a long and complex process with varying trajectories for different vernacular languages. This volume highlights the interaction of local social and cultural settings with wider political and confessional contexts. Using rarely examined materials, such as prints, court protocols, letters and manuscripts in Latin and a range of vernacular languages, including Estonian, Finnish, German, Ingrian, Karelian, Latvian, Lenape, Sami languages and Swedish, the thirteen authors chart the social and literary developments of the area. Wide networks of learned men and officials but also the number of native speakers in the clergy defined the ways the poetic resources of transnational and local literary and oral cultures benefited the nascent literatures.
Contributors include: Eeva-Liisa Bastman, Kati Kallio, Suvi-Päivi Koski, Ulla Koskinen, Miia Kuha, Anu Lahtinen, Tuija Laine, Tuomas M. S. Lehtonen, Ilkka Leskelä, Aivar Põldvee, Sanna Raninen, Kristiina Ross, Taarna Valtonen, and Kristi Viiding.

What was published in Naples during the Spanish Vicerealm? How did books, pamphlets, broadsheets and newspapers contribute to the political awareness of the Neapolitan people? To what extent did the authorities engage with this politically-charged literary world? This book aims to answer these questions by discussing an untapped body of sources, in manuscript and printed form. What emerges is a vivid picture of a vibrant printing industry and a rich cultural landscape. Three moments of crisis of the seventeenth century – the eruption of Vesuvius, Masaniello’s revolt and a major plague epidemic – are used as a test of the capability of the Spanish authorities in regards to political and propagandistic communication.

Was the emperor as sovereign allowed to seize the property of his subjects? Was this treated differently in late medieval Roman law vis-à-vis the theory and practice of zabt in Mughal India? How did political sovereignty relate to the church's powers and to trade? How about maritime sovereignty after Grotius? How was the East India Company as a ‘corporation’ interacting with an Indian Nawab? How did the shogunate negotiate ‘sovereignty’ in early modern Japan?
This volume addresses such questions through thoroughly researched historical case studies, covering the disciplines of History, Political Sciences, and Law.

The Presentation of Conflict and Provision of Actuality
Series:
War (Hi) Stories, Volume: 13
Volume Editor:
It were journalists that made war accessible for private households since the 19th century. Detailed reports and images brought the front to the living room and people around the world could follow military action on a daily basis. The people who reported about wars therefore shaped the perceptions of the respective conflicts and could even turn into political agents. This volume presents several case studies demonstrating how war and journalism were tied together on multiple levels. The contributions reflect questions related to agency, description, perception and politics alike. The authors explore which role journalists actually played in times of war and conflict and how their work fits into the overall history of violence since the 19th century.

Volume 1: Thematic Perspectives
Volume Editor:
Burial and Memorial explores funerary and commemorative archaeology, A.D. 284–650, across the late antique world. This first volume includes an overview of research, and papers exploring bioarchaeology, mortuary rituals, mausolea, and funerary landscapes. It considers the sacralisation of tombs, the movements of relics, and the political significance of cemeteries. The nature and fate of statue monuments is explored, as memorials to individuals. Authors also compare the destruction or preservation of tombs in relation to other buildings. Finally, the city itself is considered as a place of collective memory, where meanings were long maintained, via a study of spoliation.

Volume 2: Regional Perspectives
Burial and Memorial explores funerary and commemorative archaeology A.D. 284-650, across the late antique world. This second volume includes papers exploring all aspects of funerary archaeology, from scientific samples in graves, to grave goods and tomb robbing and a bibliographic essay. It brings into focus neglected regions not usually considered by funerary archaeologists in NW Europe, such as the Levant, where burial archaeology is rich in grave good, to Sicily and Sardinia, where post-mortem offerings and burial manipulations are well-attested. We also hear from excavations in Britain, from Canterbury and London, and see astonishing fruits from the application of science to graves recently excavated in Trier.

Rechtskatholizismus in der Weimarer Republik
Volume Editors:
, , , , , and
Die Bedrohung und Untergrabung von Demokratien werden heute wieder lebhaft diskutiert. Viele aktuelle Entwicklungen erinnern an das Scheitern der Weimarer Republik. Dieser Band fragt nach dem Anteil der damaligen „Rechtskatholiken“, unter ihnen Franz von Papen, am Untergang der ersten deutschen Demokratie. Gehörten sie zu den „Totengräbern der Republik“? Die Beiträge nähern sich der Definition des Begriffs „Rechtskatholizismus“ und analysieren das ambivalente Verhältnis von „Rechtskatholiken“ zur katholischen Amtskirche und die Verbindungen in den Vatikan. Auch regionale Netzwerke rechtskatholischer Akteure in ihren Hochburgen Westfalen und Rheinland sowie wichtige überregionale Bezüge und transnationale Perspektiven werden aufgezeigt. Ausblickend wird diskutiert, wie viel Katholisches in heutigen rechten Strömungen steckt − und wie viel Rechtspopulismus im heutigen Katholizismus.

Eine zeitgeschichtliche Analyse
Series:
FOKUS, Volume: 17
Author:
Angela Merkel und Donald Tusk standen symbolhaft für die deutsch-polnische Partnerschaft in der jüngsten Vergangenheit. Doch hält diese Partnerschaft dem Blick hinter die Kulissen stand? Wie erfolgreich war die damalige Zusammenarbeit zwischen Deutschland und Polen in der Europäischen Union und Nordatlantischen Allianz tatsächlich? Und was können wir daraus für die Herausforderungen unserer Gegenwart und Zukunft lernen? Diese Fragen untersucht die Studie und stellt dadurch die deutsch-polnischen Beziehungen in der Außen- und Sicherheitspolitik 2007–2015 aus zeitgeschichtlicher Perspektive auf den Prüfstand. Dabei wird der Eindruck einer Partnerschaft widerlegt. Zwar waren die bilateralen Kontakte so eng wie nie zuvor, doch beide Seiten kamen nicht über den reinen Dialog hinaus zu gemeinsamem Handeln. Nicht zuletzt warf auch die belastende Vergangenheit immer wieder ihren Schatten auf das bilaterale Verhältnis.
