Elisabeth Mégier, Curriculum Vitae. I Was Born in Vienna, Austria in 1932 Elisabeth Mégier, Curriculum vitae. I was born in Vienna, Austria in 1932 and I studied history, art history and German literature at the Universities of Vienna, Austria and of Göttingen, Germany, from 1950 to 1959. In 1955, I earned the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at the University of Vienna, with a thesis on medieval historiography (“Die Motivierung des geschichtlichen Handelns bei deutschen Geschichtsschreibern des 10.-12. Jahrhunderts“), directed by Heinrich Fichtenau and Alphons Lhotsky, and in 1959 I obtained the diploma of the “Institut für österreichische Geschichtsforschung“, with a “Diplomarbeit“ on the charters of the emperor Henri VI. From 1957 to 1962, I worked, partly in Paris, for the Monumenta Germaniae Historica, section Diplomata (edition of the charters of Frederick Barbarossa and Henry VI). In 1962 I married Jacques Mégier who was working as a physicist in the European Research Center of Ispra, Italy. I spent the academic years 1963/64 and 1964/65 in Poitiers, France, at the “Centre d’Études Supérieures de Civilisation Médiévale“, where I had obtained a scholarship. This gave me the opportunity to return to the field of medieval historiography, which I had had to abandon when joining the Monumenta Germaniae. The comparative study of the works of two 12th century historians, Orderic Vitalis and Otto of Freising, which I started in Poitiers, was not completed in the form of a book but became material for a series of articles later on. In 1965 I joined my husband in Italy and for a number of years I was occupied essentially by the raising of our four children, born between 1964 and 1971. I was encouraged to resume my research work by Jacques Le Goff when he came to give a lecture in Milan in 1981, and from 1985 onward I have been able to publish a certain number of articles, and to deliver papers or organize sessions at various congresses and conferences, among others at the Medieval Congresses in Kalamazoo (1998, 2000, 2001, 2003, 2007, 2008) and in Leeds (1999, 2000, 2006, 2007, 2009, 2010), at the “XIV Settimana internazionale di studi medioevali”, Passo della Mendola (1998), at the “Deutsche Mediaevistentag“ and the “V Congresso internazionale di studi Gioachimiti” (1999), at a conference of the “Hugo von St.Viktor- Institut” (2004), at conferences of the “Società Internazionale per lo Studio del Medioevo Latino” at Gargnano sul Garda (2006 and 2009), and at the Faculty of Theology of the University of Innsbruck (2009). I have been greatly aided in this by the contacts and assistance I found at the Università Cattolica in Milan. In 2000 my husband retired from his work in Italy, and I moved with him to Paris where I have found contacts at the “Ecole pratique des Hautes Etudes“ and the “Ecole des Hautes Etudes en Sciences Sociales“. For the academic year 2002-2003 I obtained a membership at the Institute for Advanced Study, Princeton. The work on the research project I had presented there, with the title: “The legacy of Rome and the Tyranny of History: images of the Church and of the Jews in Latin Christian Historiography and Exegesis from St. Jerome to Hugh of St. Victor” will be integrated into the new and more comprehensive project I am presenting now.

  • Leadership in Social Movements: Evidence from the “Forty-Eighters”
    American Economic Review 2021, 111(2): 1–35 https://doi.org/10.1257/aer.20191137 Leadership in Social Movements: Evidence from the “Forty-Eighters” in the Civil War† By Christian Dippel and Stephan Heblich* This paper studies the role of leaders in the social movement against slavery that culminated in the US Civil War. Our analysis is orga- nized around a natural experiment: leaders of the failed German rev- olution of 1848–1849 were expelled to the United States and became antislavery campaigners who helped mobilize Union Army volun- teers. Towns where Forty-Eighters settled show two-thirds higher Union Army enlistments. Their influence worked through local newspapers and social clubs. Going beyond enlistment decisions, Forty-Eighters reduced their companies’ desertion rate during the war. In the long run, Forty-Eighter towns were more likely to form a local chapter of the NAACP. JEL D74, J15, J45, J61, N31, N41 ( ) Between 1861 and 1865, the United States’ North and South fought each other over the issue of slavery in the American Civil War. One in five adult men, 2.2 mil- lion in the North alone, took up arms to fight in the Union Army. Fighting was costly on both sides. In total, 620,000 men lost their lives, as many as in all other American wars combined Hacker 2011, Costa and Kahn 2003 . At the same time, the finan- ( ) cial incentives to fight in the war were low. Union Army privates earned about $13 per month, less than a farmhand Edmunds 1866 , and payment was irregular.

  • Elisabeth Crowell and Visiting Nurse Education in Europe, 1917-1925
    Elisabeth Crowell and Visiting Nurse Education in Europe, 1917-1925 By Jaime Lapeyre RN, Ph.D. Candidate University of Toronto Canada [email protected] and By Sioban Nelson RN, Ph.D., FCAHS Dean and Professor, Lawrence S. Bloomberg Faculty of Nursing University of Toronto Canada [email protected] © 2011 by Jaime Lapeyre and Sioban Nelson The Rockefeller Foundation’s (RF) Commission for the Prevention of Tuberculosis in France (CPTF) was established in 1917 and included the RF’s first involvement with the training of nurses. During the first few years of the war the RF had formed a War Relief Commission and provided aid to Belgium, Serbia and Poland, as well as other war-ravaged countries, as a result of their continued study of conditions in Europe. Upon the U.S.’s entry into the war, and the formation of the War Council under the American Red Cross, the RF withdrew its War Relief Commission and merged its resources with the Red Cross. One of the areas in most need of help was that of tuberculosis prevention in France. After careful study of this field by Dr. Hermann Biggs, New York State Commissioner of Health, and at the invitation of French authorities, the International Health Board (IHB) of the RF formed the Commission for the Prevention of Tuberculosis in France. The work of the Commission included establishing centers for the training of tuberculosis workers and visiting nurses.1 1 The nurse placed in charge of the Commission’s training program for health visitors was Frances Elisabeth Crowell. Crowell was an American, who after completing her training as a nurse, moved to New York to complete her social work education at the New York School of Philanthropy.

  • Economic Crises and the European Revolutions of 1848
    Economic Crises and the European Revolutions of 1848 HELGE BERGER AND MARK SPOERER Recent historical research tends to view the 1848 revolutions in Europe as caused by a surge of radical ideas and by long-term socioeconomic problems. However, many contemporary observers interpreted much of the upheaval as a consequence of short- term economic causes, specifically the serious shortfall in food supply that had shaken large parts of the Continent in 1845–1847, and the subsequent industrial slump. Applying standard quantitative methods to a data set of 27 European coun- tries, we show that it was mainly immediate economic misery, and the fear thereof, that triggered the European revolutions of 1848. n the 1990s the acceleration of economic and political integration in West- Iern Europe and the democratization of Eastern Europe led to an increasing interest in the turbulent year 1848, when large parts of the Continent experienced a striving for political participation and self-determination.1 The recent sesquicentennial has given rise to a wealth of literature, espe- cially in countries where 1848 meant a first step towards more demo- cratic political institutions, including Germany, Austria, Hungary, and Romania. Many of these studies reflect the scholarly trend away from social history. To be sure, even after the “cultural turn” most historians concede that structural socioeconomic problems contributed to rising popular discontent. But whereas in the 1970s and 1980s long- and short- term socioeconomic determinants were pivotal in explanations of the 1848 revolutions, short-term economic factors now tend to be margin- alized; instead, greater weight is placed on the spread of liberal and dem- ocratic ideas, and on the inflexible and increasingly outdated political institutions of the time, which were ill-suited to cope with the societal The Journal of Economic History, Vol.

  • Appendix 1: Translation of the Vita Barbatiani
    APPENDIX 1: TRANSLATION OF THE VITA BARBATIANI This translation is based predominantly on the 1909 edition of Lanzoni; however, a few alternative readings from the manuscripts have been used and sections have been renumbered. Here begin the deeds of St. Barbatianus, the Presbyter and Confessor 1 1. I think it only proper, as I embark upon this story of miracles, fi rst to explain in which localities of the imperial cities the wonderful struggle of the saints took place. That way, the miracles which occupy the beginning of the narrative might inspire faith in what will be related subsequently, because a great people and a great and mighty city proclaim that they truly happened. Now, when Zosimus, Pope of the city of Rome, had by God’s will ceased to hold the episcopate [upon his death], there was confl ict among the clergy over the apostolic see, and they chose two bishops, one named Boniface and the other Eulalius. 2 They ordained Boniface in the basilica of Constantine. The empress Galla Placidia with her son, the emperor Valentinian, hearing this while they were staying in Ravenna, brought the news to the emperor Honorius who had remained in Milan. The two emperors sent a warrant ordering that both men should leave the city, so that both (popes) left the city of Rome. After they had been expelled, the holy day of Easter approached.

  • IV. the Wording and Meaning of the “Constitutum Constantini”
    IV. The wording and meaning of the “Constitutum Constantini” Recollection plays base tricks with past reality; it reconstructs it and constantly creates it anew. This applies equally to individual and to collective memory. It changes its reference as and when it pleases. The reality of forgeries is not immune from such distortions, and once they have become the subject of memory they themselves can be forged and altered dramatically. So it was that memory altered the pseudo-Constantinian creation, and made of it something that it had never been; there was a substantial shift in the system of reference of cultural meaning. In order to demonstrate this we must leave behind the “Donation” and its monumental effects, and turn instead to its apparently harmless earlier history, that is to the actual text of the “Constitutum Constantini” and its origin. What did the forger originally write (and Pseudo-Isidore and the early manuscripts of the Decretum Gratiani preserve?) How was it to be understood? What effects did it have at the time? The original wording of the text takes us back to another age, to another society, to other memories of Rome, other discourses, other concepts and another understanding of the text. Once it had been made part of history the context, legal consequences and entire intention of Constantine’s donation changed. So what had Constantine, at the behest of the forger, ‘donated’? What did his curious decreti pagina, the figure of memory in the “Constitutum Constantini”, an- nounce? Once again we must remember that each memory is linked to its temporal context and to its needs.

  • Empress Elisabeth ('Sisi') of Austria and Patriotic Fashionism
    VanDemark, Christopher. “Empress Elisabeth (‘Sisi’) of Austria and Patriotic Fashionism.” Hungarian Cultural Studies. e-Journal of the American Hungarian Educators Association, Volume 9 (2016): http://ahea.pitt.edu DOI: 10.5195/ahea.2016.254 Empress Elisabeth (‘Sisi’) of Austria and Patriotic Fashionism Christopher M. VanDemark Abstract: In this article, Christopher VanDemark explores the intersections between nationalism, fashion, and the royal figure in Hungary between 1857 and the Compromise of 1867. Focusing on aesthetics as a vehicle for feminine power at a critical junction in Hungarian history, VanDemark contextualizes Empress Elisabeth’s role in engendering a revised political schema in the Habsburg sphere. Foreseeing the power of emblematic politics, the young Empress adeptly situated herself between the Hungarians and the Austrians to recast the Hungarian martyrology narrative promulgated after the failed revolution of 1848. Eminent Hungarian newspapers such as the Pesti Napló, Pester Lloyd, and the Vasárnapi Újság form the backbone of this article, as publications such as these facilitated the dissemination of patriotic sentiment while simultaneously exulting the efficacy of symbolic fashions. The topic of study engages with contemporary works on nationalism, which emphasize gender and aesthetics, and contributes to the emerging body of scholarship on important women in Hungarian history. Seminal texts by Catherine Brice, Sara Maza, Abby Zanger, and Lynn Hunt compliment the wider objective of this brief analysis, namely, the notion that the Queen’s body can both enhance and reform monarchical power within a nineteenth-century milieu. Keywords: Empress Elisabeth, Habsburg Monarchy, fashion and politics, fashion and nationalism, 1867 Compromise Biography: Christopher VanDemark received his B.A in History and Political Science from the University of Florida, Gainesville.

Yaniv Fox IMAGE OF KINGS PAST The Gibichung Legacy in Post-Conquest Burgundy In the final chapter of the Chronicle of Fredegar, we read of an incident involving a patrician named Willebad. This was a convoluted affair, which concluded – the best Merovingian stories usually do – with a dramatic bloodletting1. As the story goes, in 643 Floachad, the newly appointed mayor of Burgundy decided to orchestrate the downfall of Willebad. The chronicler, who, we gather, was somewhat hostile to the Burgundian patrician, reasoned that Willebad had become »very rich by seizing the properties of a great many people by one means or another. Seemingly overcome with pride because of his position of patrician and his huge possessions, he was puffed up against Floachad and tried to belittle him«2. The logic behind this enmity seems quite straightforward, and not very different in fact from any of the other episodes that fill the pages of the Chronicle of Fredegar.

  • Comparing the German and the European Unification Processes
    ▌JCER VOLUME 3 • ISSUE 1 1 Integration of Unequal Units: Comparing the German and the European Unification Processes Anne Sophie Krossa Introduction More than fifteen years after the beginning of the so-called post-communist period in East Central Europe specific problems of the multidimensional changes are discussed with increasing frankness. The importance of topics such as conflicting interests and different identities continues to grow. This is the case in both Germany and the European Union (EU) – both frames for the integration of their Eastern and Western parts In both cases we can find a basic structure of centre and periphery, which partly reproduces itself on different levels. In a traditional sense, the West plays the part of the centre while the East represents the periphery. This study focuses on the latter. Centre-periphery structures symbolize differences, such as quantitative and qualitative asymmetry. If relations are perceived as correlating systematically with asymmetrical structures, feelings of discontent and reactions of protest and resistance may be favoured in peripheries. Specific forms of identity are then likely to become more characteristic than others. The internal functions and external consequences – especially for the entire system, which includes all parts of the structure – shall be analysed. My approach is based on the differentiation between the `specific´ and `diffuse´ support for political systems according to Easton (1965). Common features of integration processes within Germany on the one hand, and Europe on the other hand, as well as differences between them will be illustrated. A detailed elaboration of the German-German integration serves as a contrast for the situation of the East Central European Countries within the EU.

Among other motivations, this policy was designed to thwart any movement to rebuild the pan-German nation. Austria was charged with the task of creating a new identity to make a clear distinction that it is dissimilar from Germany. The new Austrian republic turned its gaze to the golden age of the Hapsburg Imperial Empire as one of the starting points in creating a new historical narrative for the nation. The local film industry seized upon this idea, which resulted in the Kaiserfilm genre. A prominent example of this variety of film is Ernst Marischka’s late 1950s blockbuster movies: the Sissi trilogy. Within the scope of this analysis, I argue how the films ignited a “Sissi phenomenon” which led to a resurgence and transformation of Empress Elisabeth of Austria as a popular cultural icon and a consequential impact on the reconfiguration of Austrian national identity.
