Monarchies are facing public demands for modernization and adapting to changing societal, political, and media environments. This book proposes new directions in the research of contemporary European monarchies and offers innovative perspectives on trans/national royal public interactions and (semi-)fictional representations of monarchs. Its case studies address historic and recent developments, including newly invented royal traditions, media depictions, Meghan Markle's impact on the image of the British monarchy, and the royal family's role in Brexit negotiations. With its interdisciplinary analyses, the book reflects current academic, societal, and popular cultural interest in royalty. »Für alle, die vor allem an der britischen Monarchie interessiert sind, ist dieser Band eine wahre Fundgrube.« Cathleen Sarti, www.sehepunkte.de, 20/12 (2020) »Ein Werk, dass mit internationalen und interdisziplinär aufgestellten Wissenschaftler_innen aller Qualifikationsränge die berechtigte Frage nach der Monarchieforschung im zeithistorischen Kontext aufwirft und zwingend notwendige Pionierarbeit leistet.« Catherine Ludwig-Ockenfels, KULT_online, 62 (2020)

This volume offers a bold restatement of the importance of social history for understanding modern revolutions. The essays collected in Worlds of Labour Turned Upside Down provide global case studies examining: - changes in labour relations as a causal factor in revolutions; - challenges to existing labour relations as a motivating factor during revolutions; - the long-term impact of revolutions on the evolution of labour relations. The volume examines a wide range of revolutions in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, covering examples from South-America, Africa, Asia, and Western and Eastern Europe. The volume goes beyond merely examining the place of industrial workers, paying attention to the position of slaves, women working on the front line of civil war, colonial forced labourers, and white collar workers.

A history of Austria's Chambers of Engineers This book is the first history of Austria's Chambers of Chartered Engineering Consultants from the foundation of the institution of chartered engineering consultants in 1860 up to the Ziviltechnikergesetz of 1957. In addition to tracing the history of the organization, the book tackles head-on the controversial issue of collaboration with the Nazi regime and the fate of those chartered engineering consultants who were persecuted. Selected biographies reveal the extent of the chambers' autonomy and show how members' careers were made and broken during this period, as well as discriminatory measures. A special concern of this book is to keep alive the memory of those chartered engineering consultants who fell victim to the Nazi regime. With this thorough and scientific reappraisal, Austria's Federal Chamber of Chartered Engineering Consultants has taken an important step in taking responsibility for its own history. An important contribution to the historical reappraisal of the Nazi period and the history of Austria's institutions Selected biographies of chartered engineering consultants With contributions by Ingrid Holzschuh, Inge Korneck, and Alexandra Wachter, as well as numerous historical illustrations and infographics Über die Geschichte der österreichischen Ingenieurkammern Das vorliegende Buch untersucht erstmals die Geschichte der österreichischen Ingenieurkammern und ihrer Mitglieder von der Gründung des Ziviltechnikerwesens 1860 bis zum Ziviltechnikergesetz 1957. Der Fokus liegt neben der Rekonstruktion der Organisationsgeschichte auf der Aufarbeitung der Kollaboration mit dem NS-Regime und dem Schicksal jener Ziviltechniker:innen, die verfolgt wurden. Ausgewählte Biografien machen Handlungsspielräume innerhalb der Kammern, Karriereverläufe und -brüche von Mitgliedern und Auswirkungen diskriminierender Maßnahmen sichtbar. Ein besonderes Anliegen ist dabei, die Erinnerung an jene Ziviltechniker:innen wachzuhalten, die dem NS-Regime zum Opfer fielen. Mit der wissenschaftlichen Aufarbeitung der Kammergeschichte übernimmt die Bundeskammer der Ziviltechniker:innen eine wichtige Verantwortung. Ein zentraler Beitrag zur Aufarbeitung der NS-Zeit und der Institutionengeschichten in Österreich Wissenschaftliche Aufarbeitung exemplarischer Biografien von Ziviltechniker:innen Mit Beiträgen von Ingrid Holzschuh, Inge Korneck und Alexandra Wachter sowie mit zahlreichen historischen Abbildungen und Infografiken
