Dispersed Things
Prometheus Tamed
Over 8,200 large city fires broke out between 1000 and 1939 CE in Central Europe. Prometheus Tamed inquires into the long-term history of that fire ecology, its local and regional frequencies, its relationship to climate history. It asks for the visual and narrative representation of that threat in every-day life. Institutional forms of fire insurance emerged in the form of private joint stock companies (the British model, starting in 1681) or in…
Prussia against Rome, 1724–1742
In 1740 the Roman Church – through its major expert on Oriental languages and regions, Giuseppe Simone Assemani – was censoring Mathurin Veyssière La Croze’s Histoire du Christianisme des Indes, his second work on Christians between the Mediterranean and Ethiopia. This article puts censorship of this book into a global political context: first, of the competition of European powers between Catholics and Protestants (Prussia, France, and Rome) and…
Close distance. Social segregation in trading empires and colonies—An introduction
The history of segregation is usually concentrating on modern racial forms of it, in colonial settings or in large urban conglomerates. Mathematical definitions of segregation refer to the ratio between the type of segregated element (e.g. Blacks) in a given larger area and its sub-area. We are suggesting that pre-modern as well as postcolonial forms of segregation are far less determined by this space/race-alignment. For a long-term history of s…
Interaction and boundary work
European merchants in their factories (‘nations’) in the Eastern Mediterranean under Ottoman rule were not really colonizers; in early modern times, they were somehow privileged guests. However, they deserve an important part in a long-term history of types of ‘close distance’ and forms of segregational coexistence. Different from recent studies that stress a strong overall interaction, understanding, sharing, and exchange between Europeans and O…
Orient contra China
One of the most important Orientalists, EusèbeRenaudot (1648-1720), was central in at least three major debates of his time: the late confessionalist anti-Protestant debate about the conceptions of the Eucharist; the hundred-year-long clash between the Jesuits and their enemies during the controversy of rites; and the Querelle des Anciens et des Modernes. Analyzing Renaudot's large collection of unpublished manuscript treatises, it is argued that…
Fruits of Migration
Migration is a problem of highest importance today, and likewise is its history. Italian migrants who had to leave the peninsula in the long sixteenth century because of their heterodox Protestant faith is a topic that has its deep roots in Italian Renaissance scholarship since Delio Cantimori: It became a part of a twentieth century form of Italian leyenda negra in liberal historiography. But its international dimension and Central Europe (not o…

Seeraub im Mittelmeerraum
Über Jahrtausende gehörte der Seeraub zu den prägenden Faktoren der Geschichte des Mittelmeerraums. Die Akteure wurden als Bedrohung wahrgenommen, bewirkten aber auch vielfältige Verbindungen über das Mittelmeer hinweg. Die Bekämpfung maritimer Gewalt diente antiken Imperien und mittelalterlichen Seerepubliken als Legitimationsgrundlage. Überfälle auf Küsten, Sklaverei und Freikaufgeschäfte spielten eine wichtige Rolle in den Konfrontationen zwis…

Grenzen der Versicherbarkeit als Epochenindikatoren
The rather technical term "insurability" borrowed from the insurance industry has had a curious career in risk sociology : For Ulrich Beck and others, the question whether private insurers insure big risks, serves as a yard stick for the difference between risks of "first" or "second" modernity : nuclear catastrophes and climate collapse are not insurable by private companies. The contribution shows that the idea to use insurability for historici…

Security" is such a general concept that, on the one hand, it is omnipresent in all fields of historical research; on the other hand, a closer look reveals that there seems not to exist a real specialized sub-discipline or field that bears this title.While in political sciences, criminology, sociology and jurisprudence, and especially in the field of international relations, security studies is a well established and broad field of research, hist…
