Ketchup
The history of ketchup began in rural and port-areas of Vietnam and China, with British explorers, and, via the history of the tomato, with Italian explorers and agents of the Spanish Empire. By the 1800s, French migrants, global trade, and translated cookbooks equipped central European household workers with the tools to make a long-shelf-life sauce in bottles in the Atlantic space of mobile populations between Europe, the United States, and Can…
Vaterland, c.1780–1870
This article analyses the changing semiotics of the term Vaterland between 1780 and 1870 in a variety of German-language discussions by reconstructing specific instances of meaning. It finds that the term Vaterland held multiple meanings due to the range of religious, philosophic and political frameworks and historical frames of reference in which this term operated. A great variety of speakers produced and exercised meanings synchronically and m…
The Gender Anxiety of Otto von Bismarck, 1866–1898
Building on critical re-examinations of the ‘Bismarck myth’ and scholarship on the fin de siècle crisis of identity in Europe, this article examines key vignettes in the political career of Otto von Bismarck during Prussia’s era of expansion and consolidation, c.1866–1898, through the lens of gender. It finds the legendary ‘Iron Chancellor’ experienced extreme gender-anxiety to the point of social dysphoria until the 1870s. Assigned feminine role…
Neither Gendered nor a Room
In nineteenth-century central Europe, the “kitchen” was neither necessarily gendered nor a room. Throughout the century, royalty maintained up to seven rooms purposed for cooking, the middling maintained one separate from working and dining areas, while working and rural poor could not maintain their cooking-area separate from the rest of their single-room dwelling. Further, royal kitchens preferentially employed men. The wider social conception …
Porcelain
Historians of central Europe have slowly come to address our hunger for innovative economic and social histories of items of material culture and consumption in the modern period. Following the works of Karin Wurst, Daniel L. Purdy, Ulrike Thoms, Corinna Treitel, and Paul Betts, to name but a few, Suzanne Marchand has now contributed to this growing field. In her newest homonymous work, the author of German Orientalism (2009) and Down from Olympu…
