The History of Emotions
The history of emotions is one of the fastest growing fields in current historical debate, and this is the first book-length introduction to the field, synthesizing the current research, and offering direction for future study. The History of Emotions is organized around the debate between social constructivist and universalist theories of emotion that has shaped most emotions research in a variety of disciplines for more than a hundred years: social constructivists believe that emotions are largely learned and subject to historical change, while universalists insist on the timelessness and pan-culturalism of emotions. In historicizing and problematizing this binary, Jan Plamper opens emotions research beyond constructivism and universalism; he also maps a vast terrain of thought about feelings in anthropology, philosophy, sociology, linguistics, art history, political science, the life sciences - from nineteenth-century experimental psychology to the latest affective neuroscience - and history, from ancient times to the present day.
Historicizing Emotions: Practices and Objects in India, China, and Japan
In Historicizing Emotions: Practices and Objects in India, China, and Japan, nine Asian Studies scholars offer intriguing case studies of moments of change in community or group-based emotion practices, including emotionally coded objects. Posing the questions by whom, when, where, what-by, and how the changes occurred, these studies offer not only new geographical scope to the history of emotions, but also new voices from cultures and subcultures as yet unexplored in that field. This volume spans from the pre-common era to modern times, with an emphasis on the pre-modern period, and includes analyses of picturebooks, monks’ writings, letters, ethnographies, theoretic treatises, poems, hagiographies, stone inscriptions, and copperplates. Covering both religious and non-religious spheres, the essays will attract readers from historical, religious, and area studies, and anthropology. Contributors are: Heather Blair, Gérard Colas, Katrin Einicke, Irina Glushkova, Padma D. Maitland, Beverley McGuire, Anne E. Monius, Kiyokazu Okita, Barbara Schuler.
Love, Honour, and Jealousy
As the economic miracle of the 1950s and 1960s transformed Italy from a poor and largely rural nation into a prosperous, modern one, attitudes to love changed too. This book draws on unpublished personal testimonies of ordinary men and women, exploring their thoughts on courtship, marriage, honour, forced marriage, jealousy, and marriage breakdown.
Archives and Emotions
Archives and Emotions argues, at its most fundamental level, that emotions matter and have always mattered to both the people whose histories are documented by archives and to those working with the documents these contain. This is the first study to put archivists and historians-scholars and practitioners from different settings, geographical provenance, and stages of career-in conversation with one another to examine the interplay of a broad range of emotions and archives, traditional and digital, from the eighteenth to the twenty-first centuries across national and disciplinary borders. Drawing on methodologies from the history of emotions and critical archival studies, this book provides...
Subjects, Citizens, and Others
Bosnian Muslims, East African Masai, Czech-speaking Austrians, North American indigenous peoples, and Jewish immigrants from across Europe—the nineteenth-century British and Habsburg Empires were characterized by incredible cultural and racial-ethnic diversity. Notwithstanding their many differences, both empires faced similar administrative questions as a result: Who was excluded or admitted? What advantages were granted to which groups? And how could diversity be reconciled with demands for national autonomy and democratic participation? In this pioneering study, Benno Gammerl compares Habsburg and British approaches to governing their diverse populations, analyzing imperial formations to reveal the legal and political conditions that fostered heterogeneity.

Encounters with Emotions
Spanning Europe, Asia and the Pacific, Encounters with Emotions investigates experiences of face-to-face transcultural encounters from the seventeenth century to the present and the emotional dynamics that helped to shape them. Each of the case studies collected here investigates fascinating historiographical questions that arise from the study of emotion, from the strategies people have used to interpret and understand each other’s emotions to the roles that emotions have played in obstructing communication across cultural divides. Together, they explore the cultural aspects of nature as well as the bodily dimensions of nurture and trace the historical trajectories that shape our understandings of current cultural boundaries and effects of globalization.
Jane Eyre in German Lands
Lynne Tatlock examines the transmission, diffusion, and literary survival of Jane Eyre in the German-speaking territories and the significance and effects thereof, 1848-1918. Engaging with scholarship on the romance novel, she presents an historical case study of the generative power and protean nature of Brontë's new romance narrative in German translation, adaptation, and imitation as it involved multiple agents, from writers and playwrights to readers, publishers, illustrators, reviewers, editors, adaptors, and translators. Jane Eyre in German Lands traces the ramifications in the paths of transfer that testify to widespread creative investment in romance as new ideas of women's freedom ...
Staatsbürger, Untertanen und Andere
English summary: The legal and administrative treatment of ethnic differences varied significantly after the turn of the 20th century. British law came to be coined by racist discriminations.

Antikatholizismus
English summary: This book compares anti-Catholicism in Germany and Italy in the long 19th century. It analyzes anti-Catholic discourse, anticlerical media and the genealogy of the secularisation theory in the age of the European Culture Wars. German text. German description: Der Monch als Ungeziefer, der Priester als Triebtater das sind nur zwei Bilder mit denen die fortschrittlichen Krafte, u.a. Liberale und Demokraten, gegen den Katholizismus zu Feld zogen. Der moderne Antikatholizismus war bereits in der Aufklarung entstanden und entwickelte sich in der Folge zu einem europaischen Konflikt um den Ort und die Bedeutung von Religion und Kirche. Manuel Borutta erhellt im Rahmen eines Vergleichs zwischen Deutschland und Italien den Zusammenhang zwischen Antikatholizismus, Kulturkampf und Sakularisierungstheorie. Er zeigt, wie sich der Antikatholizismus vor 1800 mit Projekten der Moderne und der burgerlichen Gesellschaft verband, sich im 19. Jahrhundert medial ausbreitete, Kulturkampfe ausloste und nach 1900 in die Selbstbeschreibung der westlichen Moderne einging.
