Abstract

In this major new study, Margherita Zanasi argues that basic notions of a free market economy emerged in China a century and half earlier than in Europe. In response to the commercial revolutions of the late 1500s, Chinese intellectuals and officials called for the end of state intervention in the market, recognizing its power to self-regulate. They also noted the elasticity of domestic demand and production, arguing in favour of ending long-standing rules against luxury consumption, an idea that emerged in Europe in the late seventeenth and early nineteenth centuries. Zanasi challenges Eurocentric theories of economic modernization as well as the assumption that European Enlightenment thought was unique in its ability to produce innovative economic ideas. She instead establishes a direct connection between observations of local economic conditions and the formulation of new theories, revealing the unexpected flexibility of the Confucian tradition and its accommodation of seemingly unorthodox ideas.

Abstract

"To understand how office workers shaped middle-class identities in Mexico, From Angel to Office Worker examines the material conditions of women's work and analyzes how women themselves reconfigured public debates over their employment"-- "In late nineteenth-century Mexico a woman's presence in the home was a marker of middle-class identity. However, as economic conditions declined during the Mexican Revolutionand jobs traditionally held by women disappeared, a growing number of women began to look for work outside the domestic sphere. As these "angels of the home" began to take office jobs, middle-class identity became more porous.

To understand how office workers shaped middle-class identities in Mexico, From Angel to Office Workerexamines the material conditions of women's work and analyzes how women themselves reconfigured public debates over their employment. At the heart of the women's movement was a labor movement led by secretaries and office workers whose demands included respect for seniority, equal pay for equal work, and resources to support working mothers, both married and unmarried. Office workers also developed a critique of gender inequality and sexual exploitation both within and outside the workplace. From Angel to Office Workeris a major contribution to modern Mexican history as historians begin to ask new questions about the relationships between labor, politics, and the cultural and public spheres."--

Abstract

De Sint-Lucasscholen vormen samen het katholieke luik van het kunst- en architectuuronderwijs in België. De scholen werden tot rond 1966 geleid door de broeders van de Christelijke Scholen. Vanaf 1866 hadden zij de strijd aangebonden met de als goddeloos beschouwde academies van de overheid. Met succes. Na honderd jaar hadden hun christelijke academies bijna de helft van het kunst- en architectuuronderwijs in België in handen. Het boek analyseert deze krachttoer en geeft een antwoord op de vraag hoe een relatief kleine groep broeders erin slaagde in Gent, Brussel en Wallonië een net van kunstacademies uit de grond te stampen. Het is een succesverhaal dat het resultaat was van een - niet zelden geheim - verbond tussen de broeders, de hogere clerus, de katholieke elite en de vrienden in de overheidsinstellingen. Het onderzoek over de geschiedenis van de Sint-Lucasscholen overstijgt de traditionele 'scholengeschiedenis'.
