📖 In the week in which we're hosting the most important congress on historiography and the theory of history, we're sharing a recent chapter by Luís Trindade that focuses precisely on the problems of historiography in the 21st century.
It was published in the book "Les belles époques de Dominique Kalifa" (Éditions de la Sorbonne), directed by Arnaud-Dominique Houte.
The famous #graduation song is a send-off fit for a king! It was originally written for the coronation of King Edward VII in 1901, but evolved to be used during ceremonies for accomplished graduates.
Immigration, trade, inequality, residential schools, war, fertility, Presidential elections & much more are analyzed in 21 economic history papers at this year's meeting of the Canadian Economic Association - May 24, 31 & June 1 at Toronto Metropolitan University
There is a lot going on in Pieter van Laer's 1630s "Self-Portrait with Magic Scene" (e.g. #earlymodern#alchemy and #magic, and #books). But have a look at the paper cone in the right foreground of the painting. Likely seeds or #peppercorns are spilling out. This is relevant for #PaperHistory and #BookHistory, dear #histodons.
Paper was used for more than just writing, drawing, and printing, as #histodons of #EarlyModernEurope know. Paper was mainly used for wrapping purposes too, as I said here in my introduction to the volume "The Paper Trade in Early Modern Europe. Practices, Materials, Networks"
Congratulations to Canadian Public Policy on its special 50th volume Issue & to Professor Donn Feir who gives the CPP lecture May 30 at the CEA meeting in Toronto "Policies for Other People: Reflections from an Economist on Research & Federal Policy Regarding Indigenous Nations in Canada Post-1975"
Am Mittwoch (22.05.) startet unsere Tagung zum deutschen #Kolonialismus mit neuen Perspektiven auf Akteure, Grenzziehungen & transimperiale Beziehungen!
Veranstaltung mit Unterstützung der DFH (@DFHUFA) und in Kooperation mit dem IHMC, der Univ. Lothringen, dem CRULH, dem Collège doctoral franco-allemand »transferts culturels« und dem Ciera (@gipciera).
Saw THE BEEKEEPER (2024) last night. I, of course, loved this movie. I will watch anything with Jason Statham (I'm not the only one as it turned out after the movie was over last night. 😆).
I also got a kick out of the movie as a medievalist. Apparently, there is a secret society of assassins called Beekeepers, who protect human civilization based on the idea that it is like a beehive.
Next week, we'll be welcoming hundreds of historians from all over the world to Lisbon for the 5th conference of the International Network for Theory of History!
The final programme in now on our website: three keynotes, five round tables and dozens of parallel sessions.
One central problem that resulted from the federal nature of the #Dutch republic was secrecy: How could one keep a secret with so many actors involved? This was almost a mission impossible, although one tried several measures such as an oath of secrecy to deal with the problem.
When dealing with Dutch #emdiplomacy you inevitably come across two other big issues: the Protestant character of Dutch #earlymodern#diplomacy and the importance of trade and commercial interests. For @helmers_h and @NinaLamal these are not contradictory interests. However, they argue that “commerce, geopolitics, and protestantism were perfectly reconcilable”. (4/5)
Finally, @helmer and @NinaLamal argue that it is important to analyse #Dutch#emdiplomacy not only in its European context, but in its global dimension. The East India Company (#VOC) and its growing importance in #Asia played an important role in the rise of the Dutch republic. Unfortunately, both dimesions – the European and the global one – are far too often dealt seperately with by modern research. A problem that is generally true for research on #earlymodern diplomacy.
This leads to an overarching problem of how to competently connect national, European and global perspectives on diplomacy without blurring the focus. A question to be discussed elsewhere. (5/5)
Am Internationalen Tag der #Familie widmen auch wir uns der #Verwandtschaft, verstanden als soziales Gefüge, das in ökonom., politischen & sozialen Kontexten, nicht zuletzt bei der Übertragung von Herrschaft & Besitz, wirkmächtig, erfahrbar & beschreibbar wird - dazu der Thementeil (hg. v.
