Genders and Sexualities in History

This book reorients our understanding of the history of modern male homosexuality by focusing on Europe's 'internal Other': Italy. Spanning from the tail-end of the Grand Tour to the mid-fascist years, it argues that Italy was a time/space in which competing epistemologies of homosexuality confronted one another – precisely what characterizes 'modern' male same-sex love and attraction. Turning our understanding of the history of male homosexuality on its head, it proposes that Italy was not primitive, pre-modern, or under-developed but modern in a way that Europe and the US were not. It also highlights the frequently overlooked role working-class men and boys played in the so-called invention of modern male homosexuality. The new scientific epistemologies of sexuality; a pan-European Hellenic revival; a tradition of fostering male same-sex intimacies that cut across age, class, and nationality; Italy's lack of anti-sodomy legislation and specific place in the capitalist world system, including the late entry of bourgeois women into its public sphere; changing understandings of sexuality and gender that resulted from industrialization -- all combined to produce a same-sex sex tourism industry that juxtaposed competing understandings of male same-sex love. These epistemologies were inflected in complex and contradictory ways by issues of gender, class, ethnicity, locality, age and race, such differences not simply 'intersecting' but being constituted alongside one another – particularly given Italy’s ambiguous racial identity, somewhere 'between' the binaries of black and white. Adopting a queer Marxist approach that focuses on both capitalism's long durée and its combined and uneven development, rather than center a history of modern homosexuality on the white bourgeois men who visited Italy, this book seeks to glimpse the lives of their Italian lovers. To this end, it adopts an interdisciplinary approach that examines a wide archive including not only works of literature by privileged white bourgeois traveling gentlemen but also Italian sexology; same-sex sex scandals and their treatment in the Italian press; anthropological work on Italian homosexualities; travel diaries; and police records.John Champagne is Professor Emeritus at Penn State Erie, the Behrend College, USA.

The Italian Vice, Italy and the Invention of Modern Male Homosexuality

Das Buch widmet sich der faszinierenden Geschichte der Villa Jacobs am Jungfernsee bei Potsdam: 1835 nach Plänen von Ludwig Persius für den Zuckerfabrikanten Ludwig Jacobs errichtet, ist sie umgeben von einem acht Hektar großen Landschaftspark nach dem Entwurf von Peter Josef Lenné. Komponiert als Blickfang vom Schloss Klein-Glienicke aus, ist dieses Ensemble heute ein Ort für zeitgenössische Kunst - und ein Kunstwerk an sich.Mit zahlreichen historischen und aktuellen Ansichten sowie erläuternden Texten zeigen Marianne und Stefan Ludes die Villa Jacobs als einen Ort, der exemplarisch für 300 Jahre deutscher Geschichte steht. Dass fast jede Entwicklung, die Deutschland im Großen bewegt hat, ihre Spuren an diesem Ort hinterlassen hat, ist ebenso bemerkenswert wie die von Stefan Ludes verwirklichte Rekonstruktion der Villa und des Parks, der mit seinen zahlreichen Sichtbeziehungen in die Havellandschaft heute zum UNESCO-Weltkulturerbe gehört.

This book examines the complex and troubling relationship between religion and sexual abuse through a sociological lens. Drawing on hundreds of examples spanning two centuries, it offers a comparative analysis of abuse in religious versus secular contexts and investigates systematic differences across various religions. From motives and opportunities to the organisational constraints that shield perpetrators, the study uncovers patterns that highlight gender as a central factor shaping the dynamics of abuse and the challenges in addressing it. The book explores two critical questions: does sexual exploitation within religious or spiritual contexts differ significantly from its secular counterpart? And do different religious traditions systematically foster or inhibit such misconduct? While predatory behaviour is not unique to religion, this study considers whether religious settings are particularly susceptible to abuse and whether the characteristics of such exploitation vary between faiths. Using case studies from major world religions, New Age spirituality, and predominantly Western contexts like the UK and USA, the book delves into how religious authority and cultural silences create environments ripe for exploitation. It also addresses false accusations, contextualising how religious rivalries often weaponise claims of sexual misconduct. This accessible yet rigorous study draws parallels with secular abuses and highlights the broader implications for institutions and communities. With its analytical depth and clear presentation, this book is essential reading for anyone seeking to understand the intersection of faith, power, and vulnerability in the context of sexual abuse.Marta Trzebiatowska taught Sociology at the University of Aberdeen between 2007-2024. Her work focuses on religion and secularism in the context of gender, sexuality, and national identity. She is a book author and has published a number of journal articles and book chapters on the intersection of religion, atheism, and gender.Steve Bruce taught at The Queen’s University of Belfast from 1978 until 1991, when he was appointed to the chair of Sociology at the University of Aberdeen, UK. He was elected a Fellow of the British Academy in 2003 and of the Royal Society of Edinburgh in 2005. He has authored 30 books and over 200 journal articles and essays.&nbsp;

Cities, Heritage and Transformation

This book is an in-depth and insightful exploration of the pivotal role Geographic Information Systems (GIS) play in understanding heritage changes and revitalizing urban identities amidst rapid urbanization and transformation. Geographic Information Systems for Urban Identity, Urban Morphology and Urban Transformation: Bridging the Gap between Urban Space and Heritage Transformation presents a comprehensive guide to how GIS technology can bridge the gap between urban development and heritage changes by preserving the unique values of the historic cities.&nbsp;Through meticulous research and best practices, the authors delve into the intricate ways in which GIS tools and techniques are used to map, analyze, and visualize urban spaces, cultural heritage (tangible and intangible), and other layers of the cities such as natural resources, or infrastructure network. The book highlights how GIS empowers a wide range of stakeholders, i.e. urban planners, architects, preservationists, and policymakers, to make informed decisions that balance the need for a sustainable development with the imperative to manage change of historic cities.The chapters are enriched with detailed explorations of urban transformation projects where GIS has been instrumental in ensuring that progress does not come at the cost of heritage. From mapping historical districts and assessing the historic urban fabric and the attributes that convey the heritage values and their condition to identifying areas for adaptive reuse, readers gain a profound understanding of how GIS acts as a guiding compass in urban development that respects the past while embracing the future.&nbsp;The relevance of "GIS for Urban Identity" is its interdisciplinary approach that brings together insights from geography, urban planning, architecture, cultural studies, and technology. The book is not just a technical manual, but a thoughtful discourse on how GIS fosters collaboration between stakeholders with diverse interests, such as community members, heritage organizations, and city officials. By showcasing successful examples of urban identity preservation from around the world, the authors inspire readers to adopt innovative approaches in their own endeavors.&nbsp;Furthermore, the book engages in critical discussions about the challenges, ethical considerations, and potential limitations of using GIS in urban identity continuity. It prompts readers to reflect on the socio-cultural implications of urban transformation and how technology can serve as both a tool and a catalyst to manage change.&nbsp;"Geographic Information Systems for Urban Identity, Urban Morphology and Urban Transformation: Bridging the Gap between Urban Space and Heritage Transformation" is a must-read for urban planners, heritage advocates, GIS professionals, researchers, policy makers and practitioners who seek to navigate between development and heritage conservation. With its comprehensive insights, case studies, and thought-provoking analysis, this book serves as an invaluable resource for understanding how GIS technology can pave the way for sustainable, culturally enriched urban futures.&nbsp;

Palgrave Studies in the History of Subcultures and Popular Music

This book breaks new ground by exploring regional scenes beyond London during the years 1965 to 1975.&nbsp; Whilst many accounts of this era have tended to focus on the Capital, John Griffiths journeys beyond its boundaries to assess how far the cultures usually implied to be exclusive to the metropolis in fact diffused into the English counties. The book examines both the ‘swinging period’ of post-1945 history (c. 1965-1967) and the years of the counter-culture c. 1968-1975,&nbsp; examining topics such as the rise of the boutique, alternative cinema, art festivals and art labs, and regional funding for the experimental, before moving on to consider the attitudes of regional newspapers to changes in society. In its latter sections the legacy of 1968 is considered, with specific focus on the rise of Women’s Liberation and Gay Liberation movements. It concludes with an examination of student life on the regional campus.&nbsp; This book argues that, contrary to many accounts that branded them as cultural deserts, the 1960s saw the ‘provinces’ rebranded as ‘regions’ and were increasingly up to speed with London culture.John Griffiths is Senior Lecturer on the History Programme at Massey University, New Zealand. He is the author of several articles that have appeared in internationally recognised journals such as Social History, Journal of Social History, Urban History and Contemporary British History. He is the author of Imperial Culture in Antipodean Cities (Palgrave, 2014) and the four-volume Empire and Popular Culture (2021-2022). He is a Fellow of the Royal Historical Society.

Roms Apokalypse

Die Natur- und Umweltgeschichte betont zumeist die ganz langen Linien zeitlicher Entwicklungen oder die rasanten Veränderungen seit den 1950er Jahren. Der Zäsurcharakter des 19. Jahrhunderts, das eine Schlüsselepoche auch mit Blick auf den Umgang mit der Natur gewesen ist, gerät dabei allzu oft aus dem Blick. Aber gerade in diesem Säkulum vollzieht sich - nicht zuletzt im Zuge der an Fahrt gewinnenden Industrialisierung - eine Zeitenwende in der Umweltgeschichte. Die damit einhergehenden Modernisierungserfahrungen führten schon damals dialektisch zur Rückbesinnung auf die Natur. Naturausbeutung und Naturverehrung, die Eroberung der Natur und die Furcht vor ihrer Übermacht standen daher in engem Zusammenhang. Die Beiträge dieses interdisziplinär angelegten Bandes nehmen diese Phänomene und Wechselwirkungen in den Blick und erzählen das bemerkenswerte 19. Jahrhundert noch einmal neu aus einem anderen Blickwinkel; zugleich verdeutlichen sie, wie viel unsere Gegenwart mit dem 19. Jahrhundert verbindet.

Palgrave Studies in Economic History

This edited collection presents an interdisciplinary assessment of the impact of migration on knowledge transmission and entrepreneurial innovation. Focusing on Italian migration to Europe and the Americas, the book analyses the socioeconomic transformations enabled by migration and fills an important gap in the literature on the economic history of migration.Featuring contributions from fifteen scholars from around the world, the book presents a range of case studies and archival research that shows how the transmission of knowledge and skills, passed on by migrants in destination countries, represents a less-known but crucial aspect of the migration phenomenon. Chapters discuss the impact of Italian migrants in a range of contexts, with their entrepreneurial, professional, manual and craft skills significantly contributing to economic, cultural and industrial development in countries such as Chile, Argentina, Brazil and the US. Chapters bring out larger themes such as technological innovation, educational practices, institutional and public policies and experiences of short-term or temporary migration. The interdisciplinary framework of the book, bringing together economic historians, architects and sociologists, fosters unique perspectives and enriches our understanding of the economic impact of migration beyond simply linear economic growth. This will be a valuable resource for researchers of economic and business history, as well historians of migration, sociologists and demographers.Donatella Strangio is full professor of Economic History at Sapienza University of Rome. She is Director of the Department of Methods and Models for Economics, Territory and Finance at Sapienza University of Rome and carries out numerous research projects on economic, business and financial history. She has already published several books with Palgrave.

An Interdisciplinary Assessment of Italian Migration and its Socioeconomic Impact

Migration, Innovation and Knowledge Transmission

This book analyzes the relation between the Churches’ official teachings regarding ‘desired’ and forbidden forms of sexual behaviour on the one hand, and mundane practice on the other hand, focusing on perspectives ‘from below’. Since the very beginning, Christianity has sought to regulate the love lives of its believers. The clergy’s growing influence on state institutions and the introduction of Christian sexual ethics left its mark on law, education and social norms. However, the everyday lives of most believers had little in common with the sexual norms propagated by clerics. The territory of Poland is especially interesting due to the fact that over the centuries different Christian confessions as well as distinct ethnic groups with various cultural norms co-existed there. Additionally, this edited collection looks at different groups of actors, such as peasants, the clergy or townspeople from the Early Middle Ages until the late twentieth century, and also includes different types of sources as well as of methodological approaches. This long-term perspective shows the impact and influence of Church teachings in a longue durée, and highlights social factors that both shaped discourses on sexuality and also indicated the changing power of the Church.
