  the diary of heinrich witt: Italian Opera in Global and Transnational Perspective Axel Körner, Paulo M. Kühl, 2022-03-24 This volume of essays discusses the European and global expansion of Italian opera and the significance of this process for debates on opera at home in Italy. Covering different parts of Europe, the Americas, Southeast and East Asia, it investigates the impact of transnational musical exchanges on notions of national identity associated with the production and reception of Italian opera across the world. As a consequence of these exchanges between composers, impresarios, musicians and audiences, ideas of operatic Italianness (italianit...) constantly changed and had to be reconfigured, reflecting the radically transformative experience of time and space that throughout the nineteenth century turned opera into a global aesthetic commodity. The book opens with a substantial introduction discussing key concepts in cross-disciplinary perspective and concludes with an epilogue relating its findings to different historiographical trends in transnational opera studies.
  the diary of heinrich witt: Handbook of Autobiography / Autofiction Martina Wagner-Egelhaaf, 2019-01-29 Autobiographical writings have been a major cultural genre from antiquity to the present time. General questions of the literary as, e.g., the relation between literature and reality, truth and fiction, the dependency of author, narrator, and figure, or issues of individual and cultural styles etc., can be studied preeminently in the autobiographical genre. Yet, the tradition of life-writing has, in the course of literary history, developed manifold types and forms. Especially in the globalized age, where the media and other technological / cultural factors contribute to a rapid transformation of lifestyles, autobiographical writing has maintained, even enhanced, its popularity and importance. By conceiving autobiography in a wide sense that includes memoirs, diaries, self-portraits and autofiction as well as media transformations of the genre, this three-volume handbook offers a comprehensive survey of theoretical approaches, systematic aspects, and historical developments in an international and interdisciplinary perspective. While autobiography is usually considered to be a European tradition, special emphasis is placed on the modes of self-representation in non-Western cultures and on inter- and transcultural perspectives of the genre. The individual contributions are closely interconnected by a system of cross-references. The handbook addresses scholars of cultural and literary studies, students as well as non-academic readers.
  the diary of heinrich witt: Hell on Color, Sweet on Song Francis R. Kowsky, 2023-05-30 WINNER, VICTORIAN SOCIETY IN AMERICA BOOK AWARD WINNER, 2024 PUBLICATION PRIZE, FRIENDS OF THE UPPER EAST SIDE HISTORIC DISTRICTS Reveals new and previously unknown biographical material about an important figure in nineteenth-century American architecture and music. Jacob Wrey Mould is not a name that readily comes to mind when we think of New York City architecture. Yet he was one-third of the party responsible for the early development of the city’s Central Park. To this day, his sculptural reliefs, tile work, and structures in the Park enthrall visitors. Mould introduced High Victorian architecture to NYC, his fingerprint most pronounced in his striking and colorful ornamental designs and beautiful embellishments found in the carved decorations and mosaics at the Bethesda Terrace. Resurfacing the forgotten contributions of Mould, Hell on Color, Sweet on Song presents a study of this nineteenth-century American architect and musical genius. Jacob Wrey Mould, whose personal history included a tie to Africa, was born in London in 1825 and trained there as an architect before moving to New York in 1852. The following year, he received the commission to design All Souls Unitarian Church. Nicknamed “the Church of the Holy Zebra,” it was the first building in America to display the mix of colorful materials and medieval Italian inspiration that was characteristic of High Victorian Gothic architecture. In addition to being an architect and designer, Mould was an accomplished musician and prolific translator of opera librettos. Yet anxiety over money and resentment over lack of appreciation of his talents soured Mould’s spirit. Unsystematic, impractical, and immune from maturity, he displayed a singular indifference to the realities of architecture as a commercial enterprise. Despite his personal shortcomings, he influenced the design of some of NYC’s revered landmarks, including Sheepfold, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the American Museum of Natural History, the City Hall Park fountain, and the Morningside Park promenade. From 1875 to 1879, he worked for Henry Meiggs, the “Yankee Pizarro,” in Lima, Peru. Resting on the foundation of Central Park docent Lucille Gordon’s heroic efforts to raise from obscurity one of the geniuses of American architecture and a significant contributor to the world of music in his time, Hell on Color, Sweet on Song sheds new light on a forgotten genius of American architecture and music.

  the diary of heinrich witt: The Hispanic-Anglosphere from the Eighteenth to the Twentieth Century Graciela Iglesias-Rogers, 2021-04-26 The Hispanic and Anglo worlds are often portrayed as the Cain and Abel of Western culture, antagonistic and alien to each other. This book challenges such view with a new critical conceptual framework – the ‘Hispanic-Anglosphere’ – to open a window into the often surprising interactions of individuals, transnational networks and global communities that, it argues, made of the British Isles (England, Ireland, Scotland, Wales, the Channel Islands and the Isle of Man) a crucial hub for the global Hispanic world, a launching-pad and a bridge between Spanish Europe, Africa, America and Asia in the late eighteenth to the early twentieth centuries. Perhaps not unlike today, that was a time marked by social uncertainty, pandemics, the dislocation of global polities and the rise of radicalisms. The volume offers insights on many themes including trade, the arts, education, language, politics, the press, religion, biodiversity, philanthropy, anti-slavery and imperialism. Established academics and rising stars from different continents and disciplines combined original, primary research with a wide range of secondary sources to produce a rich collection of ten case-studies, 25 biographies and seven samples of interpreted material culture, all presented in an accessible style appealing to scholars, students and the general reader alike.

  the diary of heinrich witt: Prisms of Work Michael Rösser, 2023-12-18 The phenomenon of labour takes the character of a prism. Labour is thereby always context dependent and constituted through the actions of all protagonists involved in any labour relationship. On the basis of three case studies in colonial German East Africa – the construction of the Central Railway (1905–1916), the Otto Plantation in Kilossa (1907–1916) and the palaeontological Tendaguru Expedition (1909–1911) – labour and labour relations are analysed. The focus lies on hitherto neglected actors and groups of actors of labour in the colonial context of East Africa. These were especially German companies and their staff, white subaltern railway sub-contractors and labour recruiters, Indian skilled workers and (qualified) East African workers. Furthermore, all three sites of labour proved to have their individual logics and characteristics. But all of them were in tension between the ‘global’ and the ‘local’, coercion and voluntariness, machine and manual labour, skilled and unskilled labour, reproductive and wage labour, as well as between black and white. Michael Rösser’s dissertation has been awarded with ‘honorary distinction’ by the European Network in Universal and Global History (ENIUGH).
  the diary of heinrich witt: Kickstarting Italian Opera in the Andes José Manuel Izquierdo König, 2023-01-26 During the 19th century, Italian opera became truly transatlantic and its rapid expansion is one of the most exciting new areas of study in music and the performing arts. Beyond the Atlantic coasts, opera searched for new spaces to expand its reach. This Element discusses about the Italian opera in Andean countries like Chile, Peru, Ecuador and Bolivia during the 1840s and focuses on opera as a product that both challenged and was challenged in the Andes by other forms of performing arts, behaviours, technologies, material realities, and business models.

  the diary of heinrich witt: Llamas beyond the Andes Marcia Stephenson, 2023-12-12 Camelids are vital to the cultures and economies of the Andes. The animals have also been at the heart of ecological and social catastrophe: Europeans overhunted wild vicuña and guanaco and imposed husbandry and breeding practices that decimated llama and alpaca flocks that had been successfully tended by Indigenous peoples for generations. Yet the colonial encounter with these animals was not limited to the New World. Llamas beyond the Andes tells the five-hundred-year history of animals removed from their native habitats and transported overseas. Initially Europeans prized camelids for the bezoar stones found in their guts: boluses of ingested matter that were thought to have curative powers. Then the animals themselves were shipped abroad as exotica. As Europeans and US Americans came to recognize the economic value of camelids, new questions emerged: What would these novel sources of protein and fiber mean for the sheep industry? And how best to cultivate herds? Andeans had the expertise, but knowledge sharing was rarely easy. Marcia Stephenson explores the myriad scientific, commercial, and cultural interests that have attended camelids globally, making these animals a critical meeting point for diverse groups from the North and South.
  the diary of heinrich witt: Frontsoldaten Stephen G. Fritz, 1997-06-19 “Drawn from letters, diaries and memoirs, this impressive study presents a rounded, detailed picture of the daily life” for frontline Nazi soldiers (Publishers Weekly). Stephen G. Fritz explores the day-to-day reality of the average German infantryman—or Landser—during World War II. Through letters, diaries, memoirs, and oral histories, most of which describe life on the Russian front, Fritz presents a richly textured portrait of the Landser that illustrates the complexity and paradox of his daily life. Although clinging to a self-image as a decent fellow, the German soldier nonetheless committed terrible crimes in the name of The Third Reich. When the war was finally over, and his country lay in ruins, the Landser faced a bitter truth: all his exertions and sacrifices had been in the name of a deplorable regime that had committed unprecedented crimes. With chapters on training, images of combat, living conditions, combat stress, the personal sensations of war, the bonds of comradeship, and ideology and motivation, Fritz reveals war through the eyes of these self-styled “little men.”
  the diary of heinrich witt: Una historia del turismo en el Perú Fernando Armas Asín, 2019-04-10 Actualmente el Perú recibe un gran flujo de turistas extranjeros que recorren en forma permanente Cuzco, Puno, Arequipa, Lima y otros puntos del país. Mientras que en fines de semana largos o en períodos vacacionales millones de peruanos viajan por el territorio nacional. ¿Pero fue siempre así? En este libro innovador, Fernando Armas Asín narra la historia del turismo en el Perú, desde sus orígenes en el siglo XIX, pasando por su complejo y difícil desarrollo a lo largo del siglo XX, hasta llegar al año 2000. Viajes en caballos, en autos, carreteras, hoteles y aviones pasan por estas páginas; centrándose el autor en aspectos relevantes como la lenta y progresiva conformación de los destinos turísticos, las políticas públicas para su fomento, el rol del empresariado turístico o las problemáticas asociadas con los turistas y su efecto transformador.
  the diary of heinrich witt: El sastre de dos mundos Alexander Klein, 2024-03-01 Entre 1807 y 1867, un sastre boloñés realizó más viajes, recorrió más continentes y países, y llevó el arte lirico italiano a más rincones de América que cualquier otro empresario de ópera en la historia de la humanidad. Aún así, cuando falleció a mediados del siglo xix, nadie registró el suceso y el nombre de Luigi Bazzani cayó en un largo olvido. La investigación sobre la vida y obra de Bazzani implicó recorrer los archivos y bibliotecas de diez países, y su fruto es la primera historia comparativa de la ópera en América, así como la primera historia del continente que rescata la perspectiva de los artistas italianos que trajeron sus oficios y contribuyeron a la construcción de la identidad y la nación en nuestros países. Con un enfoque interdisciplinario, y reuniendo fuentes primarias inéditas, esta extraña joya biográfica se constituye como un importante aporte a campos tan diversos como los estudios culturales, los estudios latinoamericanos, los estudios de migración y, desde luego, la musicología.
  the diary of heinrich witt: Operation Typhoon David Stahel, 2015-01-22 In October 1941 Hitler launched Operation Typhoon the German drive to capture Moscow and knock the Soviet Union out of the war. As the last chance to escape the dire implications of a winter campaign, Hitler directed seventy-five German divisions, almost two million men and three of Germany's four panzer groups into the offensive, resulting in huge victories at Viaz'ma and Briansk - among the biggest battles of the Second World War. David Stahel's groundbreaking new account of Operation Typhoon captures the perspectives of both the German high command and individual soldiers, revealing that despite success on the battlefield the wider German war effort was in far greater trouble than is often acknowledged. Germany's hopes of final victory depended on the success of the October offensive but the autumn conditions and the stubborn resistance of the Red Army ensured that the capture of Moscow was anything but certain.
  the diary of heinrich witt: Fiscal capitalism and the dismantling of citizenship in Puno, Peru Hunefeldt, Christine, 2018-01-01 This excellent history of Peru proposes and proves an entirely new thesis on its nineteenth century: the changes in its economy that might have led to a better future were undone by taxes and other demands at the national, provincial and local levels. The failure of Peru owes a good deal to wartime taxes and local tax farming of the countryside. Professor Christine Hunefeldt does for the mundane issue of taxation what she has already done for Peruvian slavery and women’s rights; she writes a new history based on the evolution of a tax structure that changed for the worse over time. This is the work of a first-rate, mature scholar at the height of her powers. The book should sit right beside Nils Jacobsen, Brooke Larson, and Alberto Flores Galindo. Like other recent historians, Hunefeldt rejects the view that the nineteenth century was largely a continuation of Peru’s colonial period. She emphasizes the disruptions of independence which involved international battles as well as numerous regional and intraregional fights. Archive stories, beautifully told, flesh out the reality in every chapter. Men were conscripted into armies and their families left to starve without them. Taxes paid once had to be paid again when local offices changed hands. Indians, the most numerous portion of the population in Puno, the area on which Hunefeldt focuses, were often a month at most from complete ruin. Women begging for their sons and husbands to be returned. Traders who had been robbed appealing for justice. Hunefeldt’s writing is crisp and available to any educated layman.
  the diary of heinrich witt: La mariscala Claudia Nuñez, 2022-07-29 La historia no contada de Francisca Zubiaga y Bernales, la primera presidenta del Perú ¿Qué ocurrió con las mujeres peruanas que hicieron historia? El propósito de este libro es iluminar la figura de Francisca Zubiaga y Bernales, la Mariscala, la única presidenta que ha gobernado hasta ahora el Perú, y a quien la Historia tradicional se encargó de etiquetar como «excéntrica» y «loca». Junto con ella, otras mujeres recuperan su voz: revolucionarias, chicheras, monjas. Claudia Nuñez, de la mano de la Mariscala, explora los primeros y caóticos años de la República, período en el que Francisca y su esposo, Agustín Gamarra, cogobernaron Cusco y, luego, asumieron el poder desde Lima. Lo cierto es que, mientras él apagaba motines en diversos lugares del país, ella gobernaba. Con su cuerpo sucedió lo mismo que con su historia: fue enterrada en una fosa común en Chile. Sin embargo, estas páginas componen un universo femenino que le rinde justicia. Y, con cada lectura, se convoca su redención.
  the diary of heinrich witt: Don Juan O´Brien Tim Fanning, 2021-01-30 Este libro es el primer estudio sobre Don Juan O’Brien, uno de los personajes irlandeses más relevantes para la historia de las independencias sudamericanas. O’Brien, oriundo de Baltinglass, Irlanda, arribó a Buenos Aires a principios del siglo XIX atraído por el floreciente comercio textil entre ambos continentes. Al poco tiempo se vio envuelto en las batallas contra el dominio español, siendo parte de los ejércitos libertadores de la región. Participó en las independencias de Argentina, Chile, Perú y Uruguay, relacionándose con los generales más famosos de ese período: José de San Martín y Simón Bolívar. Vivió en Chile y otros países de la región, fue un gran promotor de la emigración irlandesa a Argentina y protagonista de las más diversas anécdotas. De agradable lectura, la historia de O’Brien refleja un momento álgido y trascendental en la historia de Latinoamérica y de Irlanda. “Este libro contiene una interesante, completa y accesible biografía de un individuo que, como el autor del libro lo demuestra, es claramente difícil de investigar debido no solo a la escasez de fuentes primarias directas, sino también por la distancia cronológica y geográfica que los separa. En un agradable relato sobre las actividades y propósitos de O’Brien, el autor guía al lector a través de más de cinco convulsionadas décadas en la historia de Argentina, Chile, Perú, Bolivia y Uruguay, evidenciando su contacto con el mundo británico e irlandés”. Dr José Brownrigg-Gleeson, National University of Ireland, Galway. “Este es un libro muy legible sobre un personaje fascinante en el mundo hispano cuyas esferas de influencia fueron cronológicamente expansivas y geográficamente diversas” Dra. Miriam Nyhan Gray, Glucksman Ireland House, Universidad de Nueva York.
  the diary of heinrich witt: Comunicación y cultura popular en América Latina Chiara Sáez, Antonieta Vera (coautora), Christian Spencer (coautor), 2022-04-01 Este libro propone problematizar la politicidad de lo popular en el cuestionamiento del actual momento de los procesos de modernización latinoamericanos. En este desafío insertamos buscamos encontrar elementos que permitan avanzar en la generación de un pensamiento crítico a partir de insumos provenientes de casos y experiencias de diversos países de la región. Hablamos, por lo tanto, de una aproximación académica, teórica e histórica, orientada hacia la generación de conocimiento con sentido político; esto es, de investigaciones sobre el lugar de la cultura en las disputas de poder. El hilo conductor que une los trabajos aquí expuestos es el carácter interpelador de la cultura popular. Es decir, que el estudio de la cultura popular siempre nos lleva a otras discusiones, como la de las políticas públicas de comunicación y cultura, el rol de la academia en el reconocimiento de la cultura popular, la idealización agonística de lo popular desde la política o el debate sobre la autenticidad de parte de quienes se afirman identitariamente como personas, colectivos, movimientos o clases populares.
  the diary of heinrich witt: Geschichte Lateinamerikas seit dem 15. Jahrhundert Renate Pieper, 2023-09-28 1492 traf die Expedition des Genuesen Christoph Kolumbus in der Karibik ein. Zahlreiche weitere europäische Unternehmungen sollten folgen. Welten prallten aufeinander und es entstand im Laufe der Zeit eine andere, neue Welt: Lateinamerika. Deren mehr als fünfhundertjährige Geschichte wird in vier großen Kapiteln behandelt. Sie umfassen die Zeit vom Eintreffen der Europäer bis zum Sieg der Engländer in Nordamerika, die Epoche von den aufgeklärten Reformen bis zur Konsolidierung der unabhängigen Staaten, die Periode vom Beginn der Industrialisierung bis zur Weltwirtschaftskrise und die Umwälzungen seit den 1930er Jahren bis zu den jüngsten Entwicklungen. Dabei werden die politischen Auseinandersetzungen, die wirtschaftlichen Entwicklungen, die Herausbildung multipler Ethnizitäten und die Entstehung hybrider Kulturen nachgezeichnet. Der Wandel und die Kontinuität der Verknüpfungen Lateinamerikas mit anderen Weltregionen werden ebenso thematisiert. Daraus ergibt sich ein grundlegender Überblick und eine umfassende Darstellung der Geschichte einer vernetzten Welt im Wandel.
  the diary of heinrich witt: Liberalism in the Bedroom Christine Hunefeldt, 2010-11-01 This book tells the story of how ordinary Peruvian men and women experienced their lives, and especially their marriages, in a patriarchal society and how, through the struggles involved in divorce, women tried to defend their rights and in the process helped bring about change in society more broadly. Careful examination of more than one thousand cases of conjugal suits filed in Lima's archbishopric, as well as wills in notarial records, allowed the author to trace over time quarreling spouses' relationships, attitudes, and perceptions of gender, life cycle, race, and class and to study their evolving moral expectations and the varying pace of social change. The history of this marital dialogue reveals the construction of a new terminology, based on liberal ideas imported from England and France, that found its way into domestic life and influenced how conflicts were perceived and resolved. Far from opening doors for women, liberalism maintained women's inferior status but also shifted the ground on which women waged battles for survival. By the end of the nineteenth century, many women had concluded that basic patriarchal and Christian arrangements were a sham, and they sought ways to cope within a system rife with hypocrisy. This book shows how women and children, made destitute by intimate tyranny, challenged this tyranny by finding new means of defense and social support.
  the diary of heinrich witt: Kultur und Praxis der Wahlen Hedwig Richter, Hubertus Buchstein, 2016-11-21 Was ist eigentlich der Sinn und Zweck des Wählens? Warum gelten Wahlen seit dem 20. Jahrhundert für nahezu alle Staaten als unverzichtbar? Um die Erfolgsgeschichte und die variierenden Bedeutungen von Wahlen zu verstehen, gilt es, die historische Dimension zu berücksichtigen und mit einem anthropologisch interessierten Blick neue Fragen zu stellen. Diese Neue Wahlgeschichte lässt den scheinbar so selbstverständlichen Gegenstand „Wahlen“ erklärungsbedürftig erscheinen. Sie fragt nach Praktiken, Materialität, Ideen und Diskursen, um die Funktionen politischer Wahlen in verschiedenen historischen und politischen Kontexten von Europa über Nordamerika bis hin nach Lateinamerika zu ergründen. Da das Interesse dem Massenwahlrecht als Grundlage moderner Demokratien gilt, richtet sich der Fokus auf das 19. und 20. Jahrhundert.
  the diary of heinrich witt: Soldiers of Barbarossa Craig W.H. Luther, David Stahel, 2020-11-15 The scope and scale of Operation Barbarossa—the German invasion of the Soviet Union—make it one of the pivotal events of the Second World War. Yet our understanding of both the military campaign as well as the “war of annihilation” conducted throughout the occupied territories depends overwhelmingly on “top-down” studies. The three million German soldiers who crossed the Soviet border and experienced this war are seldom the focus and are often entirely ignored. Who were these men and how did they see these events? Luther and Stahel, two of the leading experts on Operation Barbarossa, have reconstructed the 1941 campaign entirely through the letters (as well as a few diaries) of more than 200 German soldiers across all areas of the Eastern Front. It is an original perspective on the campaign, one of constant combat, desperate fear, bitter loss, and endless exertions. One learns the importance of comradeship and military training, but also reads the frightening racial and ideological justifications for the war and its violence, which at times lead to unrelenting cruelty and even mass murder. Soldiers of Barbarossa is a unique and sobering account of 1941, which includes hundreds of endnotes by Luther and Stahel providing critical context, corrections, and commentary.

Hoffmann, 2003 This book offers a long-awaited opportunity to assess the thought and influence of one of the most famous of all writers on music and the musical links with his fiction.

  the diary of heinrich witt: Santa Bárbara’s Legacy Nicholas A. Robins, 2017-04-24 In Santa Bárbara’s Legacy: An Environmental History of Huancavelica, Peru, Nicholas A. Robins presents the first comprehensive environmental history of a mercury producing region in Latin America. Tracing the origins, rise and decline of the regional population and economy from pre-history to the present, Robins explores how people’s multifaceted, intimate and often toxic relationship with their environment has resulted in Huancavelica being among the most mercury-contaminated urban areas on earth. The narrative highlights issues of environmental justice and the toxic burdens that contemporary residents confront, especially many of those who live in adobe homes and are exposed to mercury, as well as lead and arsenic, on a daily basis. The work incorporates archival and printed primary sources as well as scientific research led by the author.

  the diary of heinrich witt: Explorations and Entanglements Hartmut Berghoff, Frank Biess, Ulrike Strasser, 2018-11-16 Traditionally, Germany has been considered a minor player in Pacific history: its presence there was more limited than that of other European nations, and whereas its European rivals established themselves as imperial forces beginning in the early modern era, Germany did not seriously pursue colonialism until the nineteenth century. Yet thanks to recent advances in the field emphasizing transoceanic networks and cultural encounters, it is now possible to develop a more nuanced understanding of the history of Germans in the Pacific. The studies gathered here offer fascinating research into German missionary, commercial, scientific, and imperial activity against the backdrop of the Pacific’s overlapping cultural circuits and complex oceanic transits.
  the diary of heinrich witt: Biopolitik und Sittlichkeitsreform Judith Große, Francesco Spöring, Jana Tschurenev, 2014-10-02 Unter dem Banner von Sittlichkeit und öffentlicher Gesundheit wurden zwischen 1870 und 1940 das »Intime« und das »Private« zum Gegenstand breiter gesellschaftlicher Reformbewegungen. Der Band zeigt, wie sich in diesen Jahrzehnten ein intensives globales Engagement gegen Alkohol, Drogen, Geschlechtskrankheiten und sexuelle Devianz entfaltete. Die Motive der Sittlichkeitsreformer und ihre organisatorische Infrastruktur werfen ein neues Licht auf globale Vernetzungsprozesse, auf die Muster kolonialer Herrschaft und die Expansion des »Moral Empire«.

  the diary of heinrich witt: Beyond Bach Andrew Talle, 2017-04-07 Reverence for J. S. Bach's music and its towering presence in our cultural memory have long affected how people hear his works. In his own time, however, Bach stood as just another figure among a number of composers, many of them more popular with the music-loving public. Eschewing the great composer style of music history, Andrew Talle takes us on a journey that looks at how ordinary people made music in Bach's Germany. Talle focuses in particular on the culture of keyboard playing as lived in public and private. As he ranges through a wealth of documents, instruments, diaries, account ledgers, and works of art, Talle brings a fascinating cast of characters to life. These individuals--amateur and professional performers, patrons, instrument builders, and listeners--inhabited a lost world, and Talle's deft expertise teases out the diverse roles music played in their lives and in their relationships with one another. At the same time, his nuanced re-creation of keyboard playing's social milieu illuminates the era's reception of Bach's immortal works.

  the diary of heinrich witt: Across the Danube: Southeastern Europeans and Their Travelling Identities (17th–19th C.) , 2016-11-21 The Danube has been a border and a bridge for migrants and goods since antiquity. Between the 17th and the 19th centuries, commercial networks were formed between the Ottoman Empire and Central and Eastern Europe creating diaspora communities. This gradually led to economic and cultural transfers connecting the Mediterranean, the Black Sea, and the Continental world of commerce. The contributors to the present volume offer different perspectives on commerce and entrepreneurship based on the interregional treaties of global significance, on cultural and ecclesiastical relations, population policy and demographical aspects. Questions of identity, family, and memory are in the centre of several chapters as they interact with the topographic and socio-anthropological territoriality of all the regions involved. Contributors are: Constantin Ardeleanu, Iannis Carras, Lidia Cotovanu, Lyubomir Georgiev, Olga Katsiardi-Hering, Dimitrios Kontogeorgis, Nenad Makuljević, Ikaros Mantouvalos, Anna Ransmayr, Vaso Seirinidou, Maria A.

  the diary of heinrich witt: Pious Traders in Medicine Renate Wilson, 2010-11 This book tells the story of two generations of Pietist ministers sent from Halle, in Brandenburg Prussia during the eighteenth century, to the German communities of North America. In conjunction with their clerical office, these ministers provided medical services using pharmaceuticals and medical texts brought with them from Europe. Their practice is an example of how different medical markets and medical cultures evolved in North America. At the heart of the story is the Francke Orphanage, a famous religious and philanthropic foundation started in Halle in 1696. Pharmaceuticals from Halle were manufactured and sold throughout Europe as part of a commercial enterprise designed to support Francke&’s charitable goals. Halle&’s reputation for consistent product quality and safety soon spread to North America, where men and women became actively engaged in providing medical care to Lutheran and Reformed congregations along the east coast, mainly the backcountry of Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Maryland, and Virginia. The story continues to about 1810, when Halle&’s North American clergy had become independent from the motherhouse and American medical practice and education began to follow its own course. Wilson draws upon a large array of correspondence, trading ledgers, and daybooks in European and American archives. Through these records she enables us to see firsthand the experience of men and women as both patients and practitioners. The result is a rare glimpse into the world of German medicine and the pharmaceutical trade in eighteenth-century North America.
