Fear, Anger, and Rebellion
Recent protests against police violence remind us just how volatile are the emotions inspired by law enforcement. Yet despite current interest in both the history of emotions and the history of policing, these two areas of research have for the most part remained separate. This article brings them together to explore the emotional impact of policing in eighteenth-century Paris. Drawing on documents from the police archive, it shows how fears of t…
Chad Wellmon. Organizing Enlightenment: Information Overload and the Invention of the Modern Research University
Faced with the challenges of the Internet and digital technology, universities are under increasing pressure to modify their teaching methods and rethink their mission.

In order to provide some historical perspective on the crisis of universities today, Chad Wellmon revisits the origins of the first mo…

But it is also far more than just a good story. In the wider world of German-speaking E…
