The Thirteenth-Century Animal Turn - Nigel Harris - Bog - Springer Nature Switzerland AG - Plusbog.dk

The Thirteenth-Century Animal Turn - Nigel Harris - Bog - Springer Nature Switzerland AG - Plusbog.dk

The Thirteenth-Century Animal Turn: Medieval and Twenty-First-Century Perspectives examines a wide range of texts to argue in favour of a thirteenth-century animal turn which not only generated a heightened scholarly awareness of animals but also had major implications for society more generally. Using diverse primary sources, the book considers the role of Aristotle in shaping thirteenth-century perspectives on natural history; Pope Innocent III''s encouraging the use of animals in the theological and moral instruction of the laity; the increasing relevance of animals to the promotion and assertion of lay aristocratic identity; and the tension between violence and affection towards animals that pervaded the thirteenth century as it does the twenty-first. Analysing these many considerations, Nigel Harris also argues that the thirteenth century was an era in which traditional conceptions of the fundamental ''anthropological difference'' between humans and animals was subjected to increasingly urgent questioning and challenge.

Atlantic History in the Nineteenth Century - Niels Eichhorn - Bog - Springer Nature Switzerland AG - Plusbog.dk

Atlantic History in the Nineteenth Century - Niels Eichhorn - Bog - Springer Nature Switzerland AG - Plusbog.dk

This book argues that a vibrant, ever-changing Atlantic community persisted into the nineteenth century. As in the early modern Atlantic world, nineteenth-century interactions between the Americas, Africa, and Europe centered on exchange: exchange of people, commodities, and ideas. From 1789 to 1914, new means of transportation and communication allowed revolutionaries, migrants, merchants, settlers, and tourists to crisscross the ocean, share their experiences, and spread knowledge. Extending the conventional chronology of Atlantic world history up to the start of the First World War, Niels Eichhorn uncovers the complex dynamics of transition and transformation that marked the nineteenth-century Atlantic world.

International Impact on 19th Century Norwegian Education - Merethe Roos - Bog - Springer Nature Switzerland AG - Plusbog.dk

International Impact on 19th Century Norwegian Education - Merethe Roos - Bog - Springer Nature Switzerland AG - Plusbog.dk

This book examines Norwegian education throughout the course of the 19th century, and discusses its development in light of broader transnational impulses. The nineteenth century is regarded as a period of increasing national consciousness in Norway, pointing forward to the political independency that the country was granted in 1905. Education played an important role in this process of nationalisation: the author posits that transnational - for the most part Scandinavian - impulses were more decisive for the development of Norwegian education than has been acknowledged in previous research. Drawing on the work of educator and school bureaucrat Hartvig Nissen, who is recognised as the most important educational strategist in 19th century Norway, this book will be of interest to scholars of the history of education and Norwegian education more generally.

Food, Culture and Identity in Germany's Century of War - - Bog - Springer Nature Switzerland AG - Plusbog.dk

Food, Culture and Identity in Germany's Century of War - - Bog - Springer Nature Switzerland AG - Plusbog.dk

Even in the harsh conditions of total war, food is much more than a daily necessity, however scarce-it is social glue and an identity marker, a form of power and a weapon of war. This collection examines the significance of food and hunger in Germany''s turbulent twentieth century. Food-centered perspectives and experiences "from below" reveal the social, cultural and political consequences of three conflicts that defined the twentieth century: the First and Second World Wars and the ensuing global Cold War. Emerging and established scholars examine the analytical salience of food in the context of twentieth-century Germany while pushing conventional temporal frameworks and disciplinary boundaries. Together, these chapters interrogate the ways in which deeper studies of food culture in Germany can shed new light on old wars.

Prosthetic Body Parts in Nineteenth-Century Literature and Culture - Ryan Sweet - Bog - Springer Nature Switzerland AG - Plusbog.dk

Prosthetic Body Parts in Nineteenth-Century Literature and Culture - Ryan Sweet - Bog - Springer Nature Switzerland AG - Plusbog.dk

This open access book investigates imaginaries of artificial limbs, eyes, hair, and teeth in British and American literary and cultural sources from the nineteenth and early twentieth century. Prosthetic Body Parts in Nineteenth-Century Literature and Culture shows how depictions of prostheses complicated the contemporary bodily status quo, which increasingly demanded an appearance of physical wholeness. Revealing how representations of the prostheticized body were inflected significantly by factors such as social class, gender, and age, Prosthetic Body Parts in Nineteenth-Century Literature and Culture argues that nineteenth-century prosthesis narratives, though presented in a predominantly ableist and sometimes disablist manner, challenged the dominance of physical completeness as they questioned the logic of prostheticization or presented non-normative subjects in threateningly powerful ways. Considering texts by authors including Charles Dickens, Edgar Allan Poe, and Arthur Conan Doyle alongside various cultural, medical, and commercial materials, this book provides an important reappraisal of historical attitudes to not only prostheses but also concepts of physical normalcy and difference.

Wildlife between Empire and Nation in Twentieth-Century Africa - Jeff Schauer - Bog - Springer Nature Switzerland AG - Plusbog.dk

Wildlife between Empire and Nation in Twentieth-Century Africa - Jeff Schauer - Bog - Springer Nature Switzerland AG - Plusbog.dk

This book traces the emergence of wildlife policy in colonial eastern and central Africa over the course of a century. Spanning from imperial conquest through the consolidation of colonial rule, the rise of nationalism, and the emergence of neocolonial and neoliberal institutions, this book shows how these fundamental themes of the twentieth century shaped the relationships between humans and animals in what are today Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda, Zambia, and Malawi. A set of key themes emerges-changing administrative forms, militarization, nationalism, science, and a relentlessly broadening constituency for wildlife. Jeff Schauer illuminates how each of these developments were contingent upon the colonial experience, and how they fashioned a web of structures for understanding and governing wildlife in Africa-one which has lasted into the twenty-first century.

Drugs and the Addiction Aesthetic in Nineteenth-Century Literature - Adam Colman - Bog - Springer Nature Switzerland AG - Plusbog.dk

Drugs and the Addiction Aesthetic in Nineteenth-Century Literature - Adam Colman - Bog - Springer Nature Switzerland AG - Plusbog.dk

This book explores the rise of the aesthetic category of addiction in the nineteenth century, a century that saw the development of an established medical sense of drug addiction. Drugs and the Addiction Aesthetic in Nineteenth-Century Literature focuses especially on formal invention-on the uses of literary patterns for intensified, exploratory engagement with unattained possibility-resulting from literary intersections with addiction discourse. Early chapters consider how Romantics such as Thomas De Quincey created, with regard to drug habit, an idea of habitual craving that related to self-experimenting science and literary exploration; later chapters look at Victorians who drew from similar understandings while devising narratives of repetitive investigation. The authors considered include De Quincey, Percy Shelley, Alfred Tennyson, Christina Rossetti, Charles Dickens, Robert Louis Stevenson, and Marie Corelli.
