"The collection, first one ever on Aino Kallas in English, highlights her significance to the artistic and intellectual horizons of modernity of Finland and Estonia as well as those of Scandinavia and Europe. In the 1920s and 30s, Aino Kallas became an internationally renowned author and a selection of her work was translated into English. For her, participating in the immediate cultural debates in Estonia and Finland was a priority, yet her whole oeuvre is a negotiation between her more immediate contexts and the leading conceptual frameworks of aesthetics, geniality, knowledge, subjectivity, race, sexuality, nature, etc., circling in Europe at the end of the 19th and the beginning of the 20th century. Containing articles focusing on the question of female voice and echoes of feminist ecological thought in her fiction, a contrapuntal reading of her fiction and that of Isak Dinesen, her unknown manuscript "Bathseba", the implications of existentialist thought for her work, Kallas' engagement in her cultural criticism and life writings with decadent modernism, issues of race and heredity, subjectivity and borders, travel, ageing, her interpretation of Goethe, and the iconography of Kallas, the collection features the work of today's leading Aino Kallas scholars in Finland and in Estonia."

Throughout history, presidents have actively participated in all aspects of photography, not only by sitting for photos but by taking and consuming them. Cara A. Finnegan ventures from a newly-discovered daguerreotype of John Quincy Adams to Barack Obama's selfies to tell the stories of how presidents have participated in the medium's transformative moments. As she shows, technological developments not only changed photography, but introduced new visual values that influence how we judge an image. At the same time, presidential photographs - as representations of leaders who symbolised the nation - sparked public debate on these values and their implications. An original journey through political history, 'Photographic Presidents' reveals the intertwined evolution of an American institution and a medium that continues to define it.

Un large corpus de portraits répartis principalement dans les anciens territoires de la Monarchie des Habsbourg (Autriche, Bohême, Hongrie, Pays-Bas autrichiens, certains territoires italiens) a été réalisé entre la naissance de Marie-Thérèse en 1717 et sa mort en 1780, surtout entre 1740 et 1780. Ce corpus a permis d'analyser l'importance des portraits de Marie-Thérèse au sein des pays de la Monarchie. Il existe peu de travaux en histoire concernant la représentation picturale de la souveraine autrichienne. Malgré la Pragmatique Sanction de 1713 censée garantir l'accès au trône de la fille aînée de Charles VI, l'arrivée au pouvoir de Marie-Thérèse en 1740 est immédiatement remise en cause et marquée par de nombreuses contestations externes comme internes. L'allégeance des élites de la Monarchie n'est jamais totalement acquise. La formation étatique sous le contrôle de la Monarchie est encore fragile et nécessite un certain nombre de rituels ; la commande, l'envoi et le don de ces portraits royaux nous apparaît ainsi comme l'un d'entre eux. Dans le contexte conjoncturel de la situation de Marie-Thérèse ainsi que dans celui plus structurel de la Monarchie des Habsbourg au cours du XVIIIe siècle, l'image de la souveraine est un enjeu de taille pour la souveraine elle-même, comme pour les élites de la Monarchie (les nobles d'ancienne ou de plus récente noblesse, les élites urbaines et ecclésiastiques). L'élaboration de l'image d'une femme qui est aussi « roi » de Hongrie et de Bohême puis impératrice-veuve offre un riche répertoire d'images qui agit d'autant plus efficacement qu'il s'agit de mettre en place une figure particulièrement forte et reconnaissable du pouvoir central. L'analyse des portraits sous différents aspects (sous l'angle de la production, sous celui de leur localisation et des occasions de la commande ainsi que sous l'angle de leur contenu iconographique) aide à appréhender la représentation du corps de la reine lorsque celle-ci est « souverain ». Ces portraits offrent aussi une perspective sur les rapports de la souveraine avec ses élites, comme des élites entre elles et avec le pouvoir des Habsbourg.
