Transregional and Transnational Families in Europe and Beyond
While the current discussion of ethnic, trade, and commercial diasporas, global networks, and transnational communities constantly makes reference to the importance of families and kinship groups for understanding the dynamics of dispersion, few studies examine the nature of these families in any detail. This book, centered largely on the European experience of families scattered geographically, challenges the dominant narratives of modernization…
The Politics of Making Kinship
The long tradition of Western political thought included kinship in models of public order, but the social sciences excised it from theories of the state, public sphere, and democratic order. Kinship has, however, neither completely disappeared from the political cultures of the West nor played the determining social and political role ascribed to it elsewhere. Exploring the issues that arise once the divide between kinship and politics is no lon…
Politics of Making Kinship
Kinship, conflict and transnational coordination
This article analyses the dynamic and frequently conflictual dimension of establishing transnational coordination in the Siemens kin group during an age of nationalism and imperialism. Recent historiography has emphasised the role of kinship in nineteenth-century globalisation. Scholars point to the role of entrepreneurial families in establishing transnational networks as a means to expand their business beyond regional or national settings. How…

Conversion and the Politics of Religion in Early Modern Germany
The Protestant and Catholic Reformations thrust the nature of conversion into the center of debate and politicking over religion as authorities and subjects imbued religious confession with novel meanings during the early modern era. The volume offers insights into the historicity of the very concept of “conversion.” One widely accepted modern notion of the phenomenon simply expresses denominational change. Yet this concept had no bearing at the …

Transregional and Transnational Families in Europe and Beyond
Sibling Relations and the Transformations of European Kinship, 1300-1900
Recently considerable interest has developed about the degree to which anthropological approaches to kinship can be used for the study of the long-term development of European history. From the late middle ages to the dawn of the twentieth century, kinship - rather than declining, as is often assumed - was twice reconfigured in dramatic ways and became increasingly significant as a force in historical change, with remarkable similarities across E…

Heredity Produced
Kinship in Europe
Since the publication of Philippe Ariès’s book, Centuries of Childhood, in the early 1960s, there has been great interest among historians in the history of the family and the household. A central aspect of the debate relates the story of the family to implicit notions of modernization, with the rise of the nuclear family in the West as part of its economic and political success. During the past decade, however, that synthesis has begun to break …

Kinship in Neckarhausen, 1700–1870
This work analyses shifts in the relations of families, households, and individuals in a single German village during the transition to a modern social structure and cultural order. The findings call into question the idea that the more modern society became, the less kin mattered. Rather, the opposite happened. During 'modernization', close kin developed a flexible set of exchanges, passing marriage partners, godparents, political favors, work c…
Production of the Self during the Age of Confessionalism
During the last several decades, the history of the self, its nature, essential shifts, and trajectory have undergone considerable re-examination. The Western Civilization textbook premise that the history of the West and the rise of individualism correlate closely with each other is being critically examined. There are a number of different historical, anthropological, literary, and sociological discourses about bodies, memory, conscience, subje…

The Communal Basis of Pre-1800 Peasant Uprisings in Western Europe
One of the common features of peasant revolts in Early Modern Europe was their basis in communal life. Many uprisings stemmed from the desire of one faction in a village to control access to resources within the community, or to exclude others from the franchise. Peasants often revolted to keep out the outsider, either the tax official, the conscription officer, or the absentee landlord. But we cannot think of a single case where peasants attempt…
The History of the Family in Africa and Europe
One of the problems with interdisciplinary work is that the outsider to a discipline so often tends to join its discourse at points which seem irrelevant to its practitioners. The experience is not unlike that of the foreign visitor who watches with amazement and not a little sadness as the ‘natives’ abandon those items of their culture which seem to him to be of most value. And the ‘native’ has only impatience for advice to slow down the pace of…

German agrarian institutions at the beginning of the sixteenth century
This paper deals with three dynamic factors leading to rural social change in the years before 1525. The rise of population changed man/land ratios, brought alterations in inheritance customs, and helped create a class of landless agricultural labourers. Alterations in the nature of market relationships changed the balance between city and country and introduced new wage relationships in the countryside with the putting out system. Increasing art…

La conscience et la peur
La conscience et la peur : qui a tué le pasteur ? Le 9 mars 1733, les deux principaux magistrats de la ville de Kirchheim-unter-Teck envoient un rapport au duc de Wurtemberg pour annoncer la mort du pasteur de la paroisse de Zell-unter-Aichelberg survenue brutalement alors qu'il revenait de la ville de Kirchheim où il avait participé à une discussion théologique. Dix ans après, un bruit se met à circuler dans le pays : le pasteur a été assassiné …

Interest and Emotion
This special double issue of the Journal of Interdisciplinary History explores the complex interplay of interest and emotion in shaping family and kinship structures. Moving beyond traditional approaches that often prioritize either material interests or affective bonds, the essays collected here argue for a more nuanced understanding of how these forces intertwine and influence social relations. The contributors draw on a range of historical and…

Property, Production, and Family in Neckarhausen, 1700–1870
This landmark study of family relations in a village in southern Germany is the product of deep reflection on anthropological approaches to historical problems. David Sabean is concerned to recover the tenor of marital relationships within a particular context of production and surplus extraction; he is concerned equally with capturing the logic of gender and generational conflict within strategies of subsistence and survival, the fabric of right…
