This book tells the compelling story of postemancipation Colombia, from the liberation of the slaves in the 1850s through the country's first general labor strikes in the 1910s. As Jason McGraw ...demonstrates, ending slavery fostered a new sense of citizenship, one shaped both by a model of universal rights and by the particular freedom struggles of African-descended people. Colombia's Caribbean coast was at the center of these transformations, in which women and men of color, the region's majority population, increasingly asserted the freedom to control their working conditions, fight in civil wars, and express their religious beliefs.The history of Afro-Colombians as principal social actors after emancipation, McGraw argues, opens up a new view on the practice and meaning of citizenship. Crucial to this conception of citizenship was the right of recognition. Indeed, attempts to deny the role of people of color in the republic occurred at key turning points exactly because they demanded public recognition as citizens. In connecting Afro-Colombians to national development,The Work of Recognitionalso places the story within the broader contexts of Latin American popular politics, culture, and the African diaspora.
Im Zentrum der Reihe stehen Relevanz und Bedeutungswandel von Eliten in der europäischen Moderne. Sie thematisiert das Machtbeharren des Adels und untersucht zugleich die Entstehung neuer ...Elitenformationen im Kontext aufkommender Massenmedien und gesellschaftlicher Mobilisierung.
The industrialization of the nineteenth-century European city facilitated developing conceptions of the model city, and allowed for large scale urban transformations. The urban discourse in the ...latter half of the nineteenth century was consequently dominated by a dialectic exchange between the ideal and the practical, a debate played out in the formation of the modern metropolis.
Manifestoes and Transformations is the first work to deal with urban utopias and their relationship with actual urban interventions. Bringing together a carefully chosen, wide-ranging team of experts, the book provides a broad, contextual exploration of the ideas and urban practices which are the foundations of our conception of the contemporary city. As such, it is a valuable resource for students interested in the formation of the modernist city.

Historical national account data are often plagued by quality problems, and rivaling series imply different business cycle chronologies. This problem is particularly grave for Germany before World ...War I Burhop, C., Wolff, G.B., 2005. A compromise estimate of net national product and the business cycle in Germany 1851–1913. Journal of Economic History 65(3), 615–657. We exploit the comovement between asset prices and various GNP estimates under the efficient market hypothesis to obtain an improved business cycle dating, and to decide between the various alternative national accounts series. We also examine the comovement between financial markets and various disaggregate indicators of real investment. Employing both time and frequency domain techniques, we find impressive comovement between the stock market, an estimate of the aggregate wage bill, and disaggregate evidence on real investment. Our findings confirm traditional business cycle chronologies for Germany and lead us to discard later, revisionist attempts to date the business cycle.
L’écrit polémique de Wilhelm Viëtor (1850-1918) Der Sprachunterricht muss umkehren (L’enseignement des langues vivantes doit faire « volte-face » 1882) est souvent considéré comme acte de naissance ...de la méthode directe dans l’enseignement des langues. On lui attribue l’idée de l’usage exclusif de la langue étrangère et l’exclusion absolue de la langue maternelle. Cette idée inclut l’enseignement inductif de la grammaire. En considérant que Viëtor avait inventé la méthode directe, on méconnaît qu’il y avait des écrits antérieurs qui avaient proposé d’enseigner les langues par des méthodes proches, précurseurs de la voie directe. Dans son écrit polémique, il cite plusieurs linguistes, sans toutefois analyser leurs théories. Il témoigna une haute estime au linguiste naturaliste August Schleicher (1821-1868) qu’il considérait comme une autorité importante. La conception de la langue comme un être organique soumis aux lois de l’évolution était compatible avec la voie inductive de l’apprentissage d’une langue.
