This multidisciplinary volume offers unique perspectives, across
the globe and throughout the centuries, on the complexity of the
nexus between work and the life course. For industrialized regions,
from Germany and Western Europe to China and Japan, it questions
the widespread notion of an overall growing working life course
instability, since the 1970s. For unindustrialized or
industrializing regions, from West Africa to state socialist East
Central Europe, as well as for transnational and transcontinental
labour migrations, it shows the enormous influence of the extended
family and wider kin on individual pathways into and out of work.
For early modern Europe, India, and China, and up to
twentieth-century state socialism and to current welfare states, it
stresses and concretizes the crucial impact of age and gender for
both societal labour relations and individual work-related decision
making. With all chapters based on original research, the volume
reflects a close cooperation between historians, anthropologists,
and sociologists. Its multidisciplinary approach finds expression
in its methodological plurality, reaching from archival research
and sophisticated statistical analyses to biographical interviews
and participant observation. This mix allows to grasp the
interaction between societal change and individual agency.
This volume takes a fresh and innovative approach to the history of
ideas of work, concerning perceptions, attitudes, cultures and
representations of work throughout Antiquity and the medieval and
early modern periods. Focusing on developments in Europe, the
contributors approach the subject from a variety of angles,
considering aspects of work as described in literature, visual
culture, and as perceived in economic theory. As well as external
views of workers the volume also looks at the meaning of work for
the self-perception of various social groups, including labourers,
artisans, merchants, and noblemen, and the effects of this on their
self-esteem and social identity. Taking a broad chronological
approach to the subject provides readers with a cutting-edge
overview of research into the varying attitudes to work and its
place in pre-industrial society.
In a modernist interpretation of migration controls, nation states
play a major role. This book challenges this interpretation by
showing that comprehensive migration checks and permanent border
controls appeared much earlier, in early modern dynastic states and
empires, and predated nation states by centuries. The 11
contributions in this volume explore the role of early modern and
modern dynastic kingdoms and empires in Europe, the Middle East and
Eurasia and the evolution of border controls from the 16th to the
20th century. They analyse how these states interacted with other
polities, such as emerging nations states in Europe, North America
and Australia, and what this means for a broader
reconceptualization of mobility in Europe and beyond in the longue
duree. Contributors are: Tobias Brinkmann, Vincent Denis, Sinan
Dincer, Josef Ehmer, Irial A. Glynn, Sabine Jesner, Olga
Katsiardi-Hering, Leo Lucassen, Ikaros Mantouvalos, Leslie Page
Moch, Jovan Pesalj, Lewis H. Siegelbaum, Annemarie Steidl, and
Megan Williams.
Transnational migration within Europe and overseas has become a
central theme of historical research in recent years - not least
because of its current topical significance. This volume collects a
variety of perspectives on the multiplicity of different patterns
of migration and of the relationships that sometime linked local,
continental, and transatlantic migrations. Although the attention
of migration research has long been focused mainly on the
spectacular transatlantic migration of the nineteenth and early
twentieth centuries, the majority of migrants moved within Europe.
The various authors of this volume use examples selected from
different European regions and states to develop specific aspects
of the broad spectrum of migration patterns that characterized
Europe's population movements from the late eighteenth century to
the First World War.
