Republic of plants
The Republic of Plants network researches the histories of agricultural technologies through the conceptual framework of cropscape, a method that breaks open boundaries of periodization and place, direction of historical flow and any limitations on who and what matters in global historical processes. Cropscape denotes the ever-mutating assemblages of non-humans and humans, material, social, and symbolic elements, within which a particular crop in…
Banking on Slavery: Financing Southern Expansion in the Antebellum United States
Sharon Murphy's distinguished career investigating the history of US financial instruments and their entangled relationship with the institution of slavery first appeared in her prize-winning dissertation's research into life insurance and now reaches a peak in this study of antebellum banking. She decisively links the astonishing economic growth of the nineteenth-century United States to the geographic expansion of slavery and the credit structu…
Moving Crops and the Scales of History
Times
Times uses the concreteness of cropscapes and the elasticity of their histories to question and experiment with time scales, periodizations, and temporalities. Plants have their own rhythms, which humans modify when they grow them as crops. Crops in turn set many of the human rhythms of farming life. States, industries, and businesses all seek to discipline agricultural time yet must also accommodate the natural and social temporalities of the cr…
Multiparametric Flow Cytometry for MRD Monitoring in Hematologic Malignancies: Clinical Applications and New Challenges
Along with the evolution of immunophenotypic and molecular diagnostics, the assessment of Minimal Residual Disease (MRD) has progressively become a keystone in the clinical management of hematologic malignancies, enabling valuable post-therapy risk stratifications and guiding risk-adapted therapeutic approaches. However, specific prognostic values of MRD in different hematological settings, as well as its appropriate clinical uses (basically, whe…
James Watt, 1736–1819: Culture, Innovation, and Enlightenment, ed. Malcolm Dick and Caroline Archer-Parré
Distinguished investigators and newer researchers together illustrate the state of the field concerning James Watt (of steam engine fame) as a major figure in the transition to modern science and engineering. Bookending this volume, edited by Malcolm Dick and Caroline Archer-Parré, are a timeline of Watt’s life and work, and Fiona Tait’s explanation of the various archives related to James Watt, his family and business papers (the Archives of Soh…
S arah M ilov . The Cigarette: A Political History
The alphabet soup of twentieth-century American politics has a different flavor than it once did. The acronym-designated agencies remain, but political historians have for decades borrowed from cultural history the blending and juxtaposition of a wide range of participants who add new seasoning. Often informed by the histories of organized labor and civil rights—and the political work done by groups who composed or opposed them—political historia…

Conflicting commemorations: Past and present in confederate memorialization
How do collective memory and memorialization work in divided societies? This essay takes present-day conflicts over Civil War memorialization as an opportunity to explore linkages between historical interpretations of the causes of the Civil War, attitudes toward Confederate memorials (and their removal), and modern political identities. It provides three cases of collective memorialization in one community – the college town of Chapel Hill, Nort…
The Politics of Dedication: Else Lasker-Schüler's Poems
The Politics of Dedication:Else Lasker-Schüler's Poems Barbara Hahn (bio) Sometimes new ideas are not ushered into the world with drums and trumpets; they approach us on doves' feet. Else Lasker-Schüler's book Die gesammelten Gedichte entered the public sphere with a title that doesn't draw particular attention to itself. It sounds rather like the title of a posthumous publication, assembled without too much editorial effort, structured chronolog…
Must We Embody Context
The essays in this forum brace this meditation on the historiography of technology. Understanding devices incorporates the context of any particular hardware, as John Staudenmaier showed by quantifying the contents of the first decades of Technology and Culture. As contextualist approaches have widened from systems theory through social construction and into the assemblages of actor-network theory, the discipline has kept artifacts at the analyti…
Plantation Kingdom: The American South and Its Global Commodities
Plantation Kingdom traces the rise and fall of America’s plantation economy. Written by four renowned historians, the book demonstrates how an international capitalist system rose out of slave labor, indentured servitude, and the mass production of agricultural commodities for world markets. Vast estates continued to exist after emancipation, but tenancy and sharecropping replaced slavery’s work gangs across most of the plantation world. Poverty …

These two books signal a shift in the historiography of nineteenth-century America. Their authors occupy different career stages: R. Douglas Hurt is the dean of American agricultural history and has published a score of books while this is Adam Wesley Dean’s first monograph. Taken together, they demonstrate the vitality of nineteenth-century historiography and offer a glimpse into the myriad approaches available after social history revolutionize…

Does Crop Determine Culture
Drawn from a plenary discussion at the 2013 Agricultural History Society’s annual meeting in Banff, five scholars examine the relationships of specific crops to their surrounding cultures. The question “does crop determine culture?” provided opportunities to explore crop determinism and interrogate the relationships between particular crops and their production methods. The question intended to avoid the narrow association of “culture” with culti…
Dreams of the Collective—Or How to Wake Up
Reflections on dreaming, recounted dreams, dreams as a means of representation—Walter Benjamin's writings are peppered with hints as to these strange activities that infuse our nights. One-Way Street could be read as an intersection on his long road toward establishing a theoretical framework for writing and reading dreams. The unadorned dream-protocols that punctuate the aphorisms were part of the original conception of the book, and Benjamin's …

Paradox of Precision: Bright Tobacco as Technology Transfer, 1880-1937
This article compares two episodes of technology transfer in the 1890s: the movement of bright tobacco production technology to south-central Africa with the spread of the crop to eastern North Carolina and South Carolina. It finds similarities in the people who introduced the crop, but significant differences in the methods used to produce it. This is troubling because the type is defined by the cultivation and especially the curing techniques u…

The Jewess Pallas Athena: This Too a Theory of Modernity
"The Jewess Pallas Athena"--a line from a poem by Paul Celan. It is a provocative phrase, cutting across cultures and traditions. But it poses questions: How to reconstruct a culture that has been destroyed? How to conceive of history after the catastrophes of the twentieth century? This book begins in the mid-eighteenth century with the first Jewish women to raise their voices in German. It ends two hundred years later, with another group of Jew…

Union Terminal: Business Clubs, Railroads, and City Planning in Cincinnati, 1880-1933
Early city plans situated railroads to clear slums, linking the long-standing infrastructure interests of businessmen to the agendas of Progressive reformers. In Cincinnati, nineteenth-century business leaders advocated railroad construction and reorganization to institute reasonable freight rates. In the twentieth century, they achieved their desires by establishing a mandate in municipal government for the new profession of urban planning, with…

A la fin du xviiie siècle, le français — la langue de la vieille Europe, de l’aristocratie — se voit attribuer une nouvelle fonction. Sans cette langue, le processus d’acculturation des Juifs allemands n’est pas concevable. Alors que la comtesse de Cosel, ancienne maîtresse d’Auguste le Fort s’initie à la culture juive dans la forteresse de Stolpen où elle est enfermée à vie, Rahel Levin et les femmes juives du Berlin de 1800, celles qui suivent …
