Die Donau berührt oder durchfließt gegenwärtig zehn Staaten - mehr als jeder andere große Strom der Welt. Ihren langen Weg quer durch den europäischen Kontinent säumen Erzählungen, Geschichten und Bilder, die in den jeweiligen Ländern und Regionen oft in unterschiedlichen Versionen und Kontexten zirkulieren. Die Autorinnen und Autoren untersuchen anhand zahlreicher Beispiele aus Literatur, Film und Fotografie, wie diese Geschichten im diskursiven Wechselspiel zwischen Sprachen, Nationen, Medien und Geschichte geformt und ausbuchstabiert wurden. Die Donau, so zeigt diese Publikation, ist nicht nur im Bild des natürlich und unaufhörlich dahinfließenden Stromes zu fassen, sondern mindestens ebenso in Bildern von Grenzen, Brüchen und Einschnitten. An die Seite des Kontinuums tritt die Montage und die Bricolage. Traumatische Ereignisse wie Kriege, politische Umwälzungen und Zäsuren haben dazu geführt, dass die kulturellen und gesellschaftlichen Narrative des Flusses immer wieder in Stücke zerlegt und neu zusammengesetzt wurden.

Vladimir Putin's image functions as a political talisman far outside of the borders of his own country. Studying material objects, fan fiction, and digital media, Putin Kitsch in America traces the satirical uses of Putin's public persona and how he stands as a foil for other world leaders. Uncovering a wide variety of material culture - satirical, scatological, even risqué - made possible by new print-on-demand technologies, Alison Rowley argues that the internet is crucial to the creation of contemporary Putin memorabilia. She explains that these items are evidence of young people's continued interest and participation in politics, even as some experts decry what they see as the opposite. The book addresses the ways in which explicit sexual references about government officials are used as everyday political commentary in the United States. The number of such references skyrocketed during the 2016 US presidential election campaign, and turning a critical eye to Putin kitsch suggests that the phenomenon will continue when Americans next return to the polls. An examination of how the Russian president's image circulates via memes, parodies, apps, and games, Putin Kitsch in America illustrates how technological change has shaped both the kinds of kitsch being produced and the nature of political engagement today.

Non-monetary tokens known as jetons originated as counters used on medieval counting tables. In certain parts of France, the Low Countries, and German lands, they continued as such into the nineteenth century. The historical and numismatic interest in jetons stems more from what else they became, particularly though the end of the eighteenth century under the Bourbon monarchs, as perks of office for office holders in the burgeoning nation state of France, New Year's Day presents exchanged among certain segments of society, and lagniappe handed out for attendance at meetings in town halls, regional estates, and learned societies. Jetons figured in the rites and rituals of the guilds and faculties; they were swag for general meetings of the clergy, and they served as calling cards for noble families. Decoding hidden messages became a parlor game for cognoscenti, and as "petit monuments" some jetons are miniature works of high art produced by the world's most talented artists/engravers at the world's preeminent mint. In this book jetons serve as microdots in a pointillist, longue durée account that paints a grand portrait of early modern and Old Regime France leading up to the French Revolution.

In a lush valley within the Sakra peak in Gandhara (northwestern Pakistan) is a vast limestone cave temple, part of an ancient Hindu sacred complex. For over 700 years, this cluster of shrines minted hundreds of varieties of their own votive coinage - a unique case in Central and South Asia. These were miniscule copper coins, issued for pilgrims, featuring eclectic and original combinations of Greco-Roman, Iranian, Indic, and Islamic iconography. This book examines the native Sakra copper coinage issued from circa 550 to 1100, corresponding to the Nezak, Turk Shahi, Hindu Shahi, and Ghaznavid dynasties. These coins provide a window into what may have been an ecclesiastical administration exercising varying degrees of autonomy throughout its lifetime. They practically blur boundaries between vernacular folk art and monetary instruments serving political or confessional agendas. The book relates both the remarkable story of these coins and the sacred sites, and introduces the obscured history of the most neglected yet formative 500 years of Pakistan and Afghanistan's history. It also offers new paradigms for conceptualizing local currency, the making of religious imagery, and the process of transculturation. Importantly, the Sakra coins issued under Ghaznavid rule overturn popular misconceptions about early Hindu-Muslim encounters, suggesting instead that the Ghaznavids pursued a flexible, negotiated policy with regard to Hindu sacred sites.

"Buying and Selling the Civil War is a collection of original essays about the marketing and selling of Civil War memory during the postwar economic boom known as the "Gilded Age." The editors, Marten and Janney, both renowned scholars for their studies of the Civil War, provide a new framework for examining the intersections of material culture, consumerism, and contested memory. Each essay offers a case study of a product, experience, or idea related to how the Civil War is remembered and memorialized. Taken together, these essays trace the ways the buying and selling of the Civil War shaped Americans' thinking about the conflict. As one reviewer points out, this volume makes an "important contribution to scholarship on Civil War memory" and extends our understanding of subjects as varied as "print culture, visual culture, popular culture, finance, the history of education, the history of the book, and the history of capitalism in this period." The volume's contributors include Crompton B. Burton, Kevin R. Caprice, Shae Cox, Jonathan S. Jones, David K. Thompson, Amanda Brickell Bellows, Natalie Sweet, Jonathan W. White, Anna Gibson Holloway, Barbara A. Gannon, Edward John Harcourt, Margaret Fairgrieve Milanick, Paul Ringel, and John Neff"--
