Im 12. Band der Reihe werden antike Pragungen aus den nordgriechischen Gebieten Thessalien, Illyrien, Epirus und Korkyra beschrieben und publiziert. Die Identifizierung und historische Einordnung der samtlich nach Gipsabguessen abgebildeten Muenzen erfolgte durch die international anerkannte Numismatikerin Katerini Liampi von der Universitat Ioannina Griechenland. Unter den Pragungen finden sich auch Exemplare des durch seine Kampfe gegen Rom beruehmten Konigs Pyrrhus von Epirus (Regierungszeit 297-272 v. Chr.). Dieser hatte wahrend seiner Feldzuege in Unteritalien auch Muenzen unter seinem Namen im sizilischen Syrakus schlagen lassen. Die vorgestellten Pragungen werden heute im Muenchner Muenzkabinett aufbewahrt, das zu den grossten offentlichen Muenzsammlungen der Welt gehort.

This volume of recent "Signs" articles offers some of the most significant contributions to the debates on history and theory. Illustrating the uses of theories in recent feminist historical research and the often contentious arguments that surround them, the articles speak to a number of discussions, including the theoretical tradition of political economy, the importance of class relations for understanding historical events and social relationships, and the expansion of concepts from political economy to include race. Included as well are the workings of gender signification in terms of the body, moving it from its traditionally lesser position in the hierarchical Enlightenment mind/body split. A further group of articles concerns the discursive character of power relations and the dialogic quality of language. The volume will be extremely useful for feminist historians in a variety of disciplines as well as women's studies students interested in issues of interdisciplinarity. Sixteen articles include contributions by Karen Anderson, Josephine Donovan, Nancy Folbre, Evelyn Nakano Glenn, April Gordon, Luise White, C. Fred Blake, Antoinette Burton, Jane Desmond, Nancy M. Theriot, Kathleen Canning, Sueann Caulfield, Lisa Duggan, Nancy Fraser and Linda Gordon, Evelyn Brooks Higginbotham, and Sandra R. Joshel.
