  • The Politics of Making Kinship

    Historical and Anthropological Perspectives

    Edited by Erdmute Alber, David Warren Sabean, Simon Teuscher, Tatjana Thelen ...
    The long tradition of Western political thought included kinship in models of public order, but the social sciences excised it from theories of the state, public sphere, and democratic order. Kinship has, however, neither completely disappeared from the political cultures of the West nor played the determining social and political role ascribed to it elsewhere. Exploring the issues that arise once ... Read more

  • Kinship in Europe

    Approaches to Long-Term Development (1300-1900)

    Edited by David Warren Sabean, Simon Teuscher, Jon Mathieu ...
    Since the publication of Philippe Ariès’s book, Centuries of Childhood, in the early 1960s, there has been great interest among historians in the history of the family and the household. A central aspect of the debate relates the story of the family to implicit notions of modernization, with the rise of the nuclear family in the West as part of its economic and political success. During the past ... Read more

    Writing and the Formation of Tradition in the Later Middle Ages

    by Simon Teuscher ...
    Translated by Philip Grace ...
    Series series The Middle Ages Series
    In the mid-nineteenth century, Jacob Grimm published a collection of late medieval records of local law—called Weistümer—that was scarcely less comprehensive than his famous collection of fairy tales. As with the fairy tales, Grimm assumed that before their transcription, people had handed these down orally from time immemorial. His interest in these customary laws arose from their seemingly ...

  • Blood and Kinship

    Matter for Metaphor from Ancient Rome to the Present

    Edited by Christopher H. Johnson, Bernhard Jussen, David Warren Sabean, Simon Teuscher ...
    The word “blood” awakens ancient ideas, but we know little about its historical representation in Western cultures. Anthropologists have customarily studied how societies think about the bodily substances that unite them, and the contributors to this volume develop those questions in new directions. Taking a radically historical perspective that complements traditional cultural analyses, they ... Read more

  • The Oxford Handbook of European Legal History

    Edited by Markus D. Dubber, Mark Godfrey, Heikki Pihlajamäki ...
    Series series Oxford Handbooks
    European law, including both civil law and common law, has gone through several major phases of expansion in the world. European legal history thus also is a history of legal transplants and cultural borrowings, which national legal histories as products of nineteenth-century historicism have until recently largely left unconsidered. The Handbook of European Legal History supplies its readers with ... Read more

  • From Masters of Slaves to Lords of Lands

    The Transformation of Ownership in the Western World

    by James Q. Whitman ...
    Series series Studies in Legal History
    Today we think of land as the paradigmatic example of property, while in the past, the paradigmatic example was often a slave. In this seminal work, James Q. Whitman asserts that there is no natural form of ownership. Whitman dives deep into the long Western history of this transformation in the legal imagination – the transformation from the ownership of humans and other living creatures to the ... Read more

  • Democratic Enlightenment

    Philosophy, Revolution, and Human Rights 1750-1790

    by Jonathan Israel ...
    The Enlightenment shaped modernity. Western values of representative democracy and basic human rights, gender and racial equality, individual liberty, and freedom of expression and the press, form an interlocking system that derives directly from the Enlightenment's philosophical revolution. This fact is uncontested - yet remarkably few historians or philosophers have attempted to trace the ... Read more

    by Ivan Illich ...
    In five essays, followed by extensive notes and bibliographies, Ivan Illich embarks on a major historical and sociological analysis of modern man's economic existence. He traces and analyzes options which surpass the conventional political 'right-left' and the technological 'soft-hard' alternatives and presents the concept of the 'vernacular' domain: "...to name those acts of competence, lust or ...

  • State of Exception

    by Giorgio Agamben ...
    Translated by Kevin Attell ...
    Two months after the attacks of 9/11, the Bush administration, in the midst of what it perceived to be a state of emergency, authorized the indefinite detention of noncitizens suspected of terrorist activities and their subsequent trials by a military commission. Here, distinguished Italian philosopher Giorgio Agamben uses such circumstances to argue that this unusual extension of power, or "state ... Read more

    The Birth of the Archive traces the history of archives from their emergence in the Late Middle Ages through the Early Modern Period, and vividly shows how archives permeated and fundamentally changed European culture.
