This book examines how the profound religious, political, and intellectual shifts that characterize the early modern period in Europe are inextricably linked to cultural uses of alcohol in Europe and the Atlantic world. Combining recent work on the history of drink with innovative new research, the eight contributing scholars explore themes such as identity, consumerism, gender, politics, colonialism, religion, state-building, and more through the revealing lens of the pervasive drinking cultures of early modern peoples. Alcohol had a place at nearly every European table and a role in much of early modern experience, from building personal bonds via social and ritual drinking to fueling economies at both micro and macro levels. At the same time, drinking was also at the root of a host of personal tragedies, including domestic violence in the home and human trafficking across the Atlantic. Alcohol in the Early Modern World provides a fascinating re-examination of pre-modern beliefs about and experiences with intoxicating beverages.

On ne naît pas homme, on le devient. Cet ouvrage se propose de déconstruire ce qui a fait longtemps figure d'invariant et de montrer que la masculinité a une histoire. Les contributions, qui courent de la préhistoire à nos jours, peignent ainsi des masculinités à la fois multiples et changeantes. Ce livre examine en premier lieu les signes et marqueurs de la masculinité qui permettent d'emblée de savoir qui est un homme. Il analyse ensuite les preuves et épreuves de masculinité, qu'elles soient professionnelles, sexuelles ou militaires. Les hommes, en effet, se doivent de démontrer, toute leur vie durant, qu'ils remplissent bien les critères de « bonne masculinité » attendus d'eux. Sont en jeu ici les processus sociaux et éducatifs qui transforment le sexe en genre et la nature en culture. Ces preuves et épreuves non seulement font « l'homme » mais construisent également les hiérarchies masculines, opposant dominants et dominés, gagnants et perdants de la masculinité. Une histoire des hommes et des masculinités fondée sur le genre permet ainsi de mieux comprendre la résistance de la domination masculine et les inégalités présentes entre hommes et femmes.
