Abstract

In this fascinating guide to European homes, families, and possessions of the sixteenth through nineteenth centuries, Raffaella Sarti invites us to return to earlier times and observe the daily lives of masters and servants, parents and children, husbands and wives. 'This vivid book takes readers through the daily life of European families at every economic level over three centuries ... This book, with its clear writing and wealth of arresting details, will fascinate and beguile the general reader.' Atlantic Monthly 'The most fascinating work I have read this year.' Eric Hobsbawn, BBC History Magazine 'Sarti deals with a subject of widespread curiosity: how people actually lived in the past. Hers is a wonderful book, tackling questions about housing, furnishings, food, dining, and clothes, and providing one fascinating discussion after another.' David Kertzer, Brown University 'Like a miracle, Raffaella Sarti brings our European ancestors to life.' Jaques le Goff Raffaella Sarti teaches early modern history at the University of Urbino, Italy, and is associate member of the Centre de Recherches Historiques of the Ecole des Hautes Etudes en Sciences Sociales in Paris.

Abstract

Every society throughout history has defined what counts as work and what doesn't. And more often than not, those lines of demarcation are inextricable from considerations of gender. What Is Work? offers a multi-disciplinary approach to understanding labor within the highly gendered realm of household economies. Drawing from scholarship on gender history, economic sociology, family history, civil law, and feminist economics, these essays explore the changing and often contested boundaries between what was and is considered work in different Euro-American contexts over several centuries, with an eye to the ambiguities and biases that have shaped mainstream conceptions of work across all social sectors.

Abstract

En mai 2016, un colloque international était l’occasion de célébrer, à l’École française de Rome, le XXVe anniversaire de la parution de l’Histoire des femmes en Occident et le XXe anniversaire de la publication de la Storia delle donne in Italia, deux entreprises collectives dont l’éditeur italien Laterza avait été à l’origine. Le livre collectif issu de cette rencontre revient sur la genèse de ces ouvrages pionniers, leur réception et la solidité des acquis historiographiques dont ils sont le fruit en donnant tout d’abord la parole à Michelle Perrot et à quelques-unes des éditrices d’alors ; il s’efforce ensuite de rendre compte de l’extraordinaire évolution d’un champ d’études qui s’est enrichi en suivant les parcours déjà balisés par ces œuvres majeures, mais également en empruntant des directions plus inattendues. Plus de vingt éminent-e-s spécialistes font ainsi le point sur les thématiques les plus significatives qui, de nos jours, sont au cœur des questionnements de l’histoire des femmes et du genre, inscrite désormais dans une dimension globale : circulations, migrations et métissages, lois et droits, identités personnelles, familles et masculinités, économies et cultures matérielles.
