Popular Control through Public Accountability in Iberia (Thirteenth to Sixteenth Centuries) Journal of Social History (IF 0.6) Pub Date : 2024-08-12 María Ángeles Martín Romera
This article analyzes the participation of the people in the Castilian procedure of accountability called juicio de residencia (comparable to the Italian sindacato) as a fertile ground for the development of popular control in urban settings. It adopts a longue-durée approach considering its transformations from its origins in the thirteenth century to the sixteenth century and from Castile to the

Vigilance, Popular Control and Neighborhood Surveillance in Besieged Paris (1589–1591) Journal of Social History (IF 0.6) Pub Date : 2024-08-12 Diane Roussel
Surveillance studies often recall that Michel Foucault had identified the health crises of the plagues of the Ancien Régime as precursory moments in the establishment of modern surveillance. Episodes of civil wars are certainly another example. This study takes for object the capital of the kingdom of France at the siege of Paris, in 1589–1591, when Henry III and then Henri IV tried to reduce to their

The Ambiguities and Vagaries of Popular Control: Trust and Parochial Corruption in Early Modern England Journal of Social History (IF 0.6) Pub Date : 2024-08-12 Mark Knights
Over the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, and across Britain’s empire, the idea took hold that a public office was a fiduciary trust, with legally and rhetorically enforceable duties of accountability, selflessness, and duty of care. Coupled with a remarkably free press which enabled the exposure and pursuit of corrupt activity, and petitioning activity that put pressure on Parliament, this development

Rege Ribaldum: Participatory Punishment in the Pursuit of Urban Justice in Late Medieval Southern France Journal of Social History (IF 0.6) Pub Date : 2024-08-12 Patricia Turning
Utilizing the lens of popular control to assess criminal sentences highlights the significance of effective public agency in the later Middle Ages, instead of political oppression, especially in the urban realm. The people who inhabited cities played a participatory role in setting the parameters involved in the spectacles of judicial chastisement by accepting or rejecting what unfolded before them

Introduction to Popular Control in Pre-modern Europe Journal of Social History (IF 0.6) Pub Date : 2024-08-12 María Ángeles Martín Romera, John Sabapathy
This introduction to a special issue on popular control in pre-modern Europe reviews both the contemporary resonance of the term in an era of reviving populism, and the conceptual challenges it poses for historians of all periods. It reconsiders the problem of the “popular,” the question of what constitutes effective control, and the relationship between collective and coordinated action. Briefly highlighting

Popular Control of Taxation, Accountability, and the Redefinition of Political Subordination (Germany, Seventeenth–Eighteenth Centuries) Journal of Social History (IF 0.6) Pub Date : 2024-08-12 Rachel Renault
Taxation is a well-known major instrument in the control of populations by powers, and in the collection of information about them. Starting from early modern Germany (Thuringia in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries), I would like to show how it was also, conversely, an instrument of non-institutionalized control of the authorities by the taxpayers. By refusing to pay taxes to the Emperor, ordinary

Colonial Anxieties about Meat in Singapore, 1890s–1910s Journal of Social History (IF 0.6) Pub Date : 2024-08-08 Nicole Tarulevicz
Meat mattered in the British Empire, reflecting both ideas about cultural and nutritional status and anxieties about safety, quality, and supply. Animals and their flesh persevered in various forms, circulated in complicated ways across the empire, as did ideas about meat. Singapore, the tropical Southeast Asian city-state, was an important trading port, and one that relied on global markets for meat

Food, Empire, and Mobility: An Introduction Journal of Social History (IF 0.6) Pub Date : 2024-08-08 Frances Steel, Claire Lowrie
Imperial and global histories of commodity and food trades predominantly emphasize a South-to-North orientation. This emphasis has tended to obscure lateral networks between colonies and smaller-scale geographies of exchange, particularly across the tropics. The five articles in this special issue address different ways in which food production, trade, and consumption evolved under colonial influence

Beyond the Urban Kitchen: Refrigeration and Domesticity across Australia and the Pacific Islands, 1920s–1940s Journal of Social History (IF 0.6) Pub Date : 2024-08-08 Frances Steel
Histories of the rise of domestic refrigeration conventionally situate the appliance within the urban household. An emphasis on the spread of electrification and notions of idealized femininity, abundance, and scientific home management together attribute an emblematic “Americanness” to the refrigerator. Moving beyond the confines of the urban kitchen to rural and tropical regions of Australia and

Java Coffee, French Sardines and Malaga Raisins: Marketing Place in Colonial Australian Food Culture Journal of Social History (IF 0.6) Pub Date : 2024-08-08 Frieda Moran
In nineteenth-century colonial Australian newspapers, foods were commonly identified by their place of origin. Advertisements spoke of global networks and exchanges, listing Scotch herring, Mauritius sugar, Ceylon coffee, Valencia raisins, and so forth. Disparate places were connected in newspaper advertisements and on the plates of Australian colonists. There is a substantial body of literature concerned

What is at stake in exploring colonialism and print from the perspective of social history? This collection of articles shows how a social history perspective can tie together people, places, and themes that are often kept separate, opening new avenues of inquiry. As the editors argue in their introduction, by focusing on “the materiality of printing and the ground-level practices and “tactics” of

An Unseen Amphetamine Epidemic in West Africa, 1960–1980 Journal of Social History (IF 0.6) Pub Date : 2024-06-01 Samuel Fury Childs Daly
From the early 1960s to the late 1970s, a massive trade in the stimulant known as “speed” took place from the United Kingdom to Nigeria. British manufacturers sold West African pharmacists hundreds of millions of doses of dexamphetamine sulphate, and the British government made a long and mostly ineffectual attempt to stop them. The dexamphetamine trade fed an epidemic of addiction caused by economic

Motherhood, Mental Incompetence, and the Denial of Reproductive Autonomy in the Early Years of Israeli Statehood Journal of Social History (IF 0.6) Pub Date : 2024-02-01 Marco Di Giulio
As the State of Israel defined citizenship rights for its Jewish population after independence in 1948, it also began to articulate the rights of those affected by disabilities of the mind—i.e., psychiatric, cognitive, and learning disabilities—by issuing, for example, the “Law for the Management of Institutes” (1952) and the “Law for the Treatment of the Mentally Ill” (1955). Due to haphazard state-building

Agency’s Moral Universe Journal of Social History (IF 0.6) Pub Date : 2023-12-12 Monica Black
Agency belongs to a distinctly moral understanding of the cosmos, buttressed by faith in an ultimately just and knowable universe. On some deep level, historians believe that the good will out. But looking at those moments when the agency concept creates cognitive dissonance—when, for example, Holocaust perpetrators’ “agency” was placed in the service of evil—reveals things about the moral universe

Meanings of Agency, Agency of Meaning: On Synthesis and Entanglement Journal of Social History (IF 0.6) Pub Date : 2023-12-12 Timothy Burke
Two decades later, the conceptual problems of the term “agency” identified by Walter Johnson remain largely unresolved, in particular the analytic inhibitions that follow from what the historian Lynn Thomas has described as agency-as-argument. Taking the case of the colonial Zimbabwean chief Munhuwepayi Mangwende as a reference point, this essay argues that the microhistorical tracing of agency as

Antona, originally from Upper Guinea, raised a family in Mexico’s Black Pacific. Her story, memorialized in a freedom suit from 1597, suggests that framing survival as agency helps us reconstruct the experiences of people in a way that accounts for the complexity of power in their historical contexts.

“Longing and Hope and Sadness and Anger”: Disentangling the Social and the Human Journal of Social History (IF 0.6) Pub Date : 2023-12-12 Gabriel Winant
This article reconstructs the historical context in which “agency” emerged as the key concept of social history, arguing that an unstated concept of the liberal individual was smuggled into historical explanation through a humanist anthropology underlying the social history renaissance. It then asks what would be involved in salvaging social–historical explanation, including its interest in historical

On the Agency of Environmental History Journal of Social History (IF 0.6) Pub Date : 2023-12-12 Bathsheba Demuth
Twenty years ago, Walter Johnson warned historians not to rely on a concept that let both user and audience alike feel better without doing better. The concept in question was agency. Down the metaphorical hall and many a literal one, environmental historians were also talking about agency. The proximity is not surprising: the new social history Johnson addressed in 2003 came up alongside environmental

The Forgotten Dreams of History-from-Below Journal of Social History (IF 0.6) Pub Date : 2023-12-12 Priya Satia
In his 2003 essay, “On Agency,” Walter Johnson faulted the way scholars’ focus on agency presumed a “unidirectional trade between past and present,” treating “history writing as a mode of redress.” It marginalized “human-ness lived outside the conventions” of a “liberal notion of selfhood.” Restoring agency to the enslaved made the scholar feel better about themselves without making the world any better:

Agency, Politics, and the “Impossible Domestic”: A Response to Walter Johnson’s “On Agency” Journal of Social History (IF 0.6) Pub Date : 2023-12-12 Angela Elisabeth Zimmerman
Walter Johnson’s point about “agency” can be extended to other central concepts of historical analysis: what might appear as a salutary extension of a foundational category of liberal democracy to the histories of enslaved people in fact forces those histories into frameworks that are, ultimately, those of enslavers. The interconnected insights of Black feminism and Queer theory—particularly about

Into the Hills: Challenges of Writing Postemancipation Agency in the Caribbean Journal of Social History (IF 0.6) Pub Date : 2023-12-12 Anne Eller
As Caribbean postemancipation scholarship has deepened so richly in recent decades, writers have been able to shake major distortions such as the progressive teleologies of freedom that lurk as the very scaffolding of congratulatory imperial records. The full dynamism of repression directed at postslavery generations still demands attention, as does the difficult task of reconstructing communities’

This article seeks to illustrate the emergence and significance of permanent exile in the latter years of British rule in Kenya. Drawing on concepts of the “state of exception” in the imperial context, the analysis places Kenyan policy into a longer history of penal practice. Exile as a mode of punishment was a permanent fixture in the repertoire of the British Empire as a method of controlling rebellious

Hot on the Trail: Pilgrimage and Crime in Early Modern Spain Journal of Social History (IF 0.6) Pub Date : 2023-05-25 Amanda L Scott
Though pilgrims were purportedly sacred travelers, their actual identities and motivations for travel were far from certain. Connotations with criminality and fraud also ran deep. Beginning with a strange case in which an epileptic French priest traveling to Santiago de Compostela was arrested and investigated as an alleged spy, this article considers the ambiguities surrounding pilgrim identity and

This article traces the emergence of juvenile delinquency as a legal and medical category in Hashemite Iraq (1921–58). We argue that as children and youth became increasingly visible through actions and inactions that highlighted the weaknesses of political and social structures, state institutions adopted international frameworks and vernaculars concerning the participation of youth in labor.

Why Early Modern Mass Incarceration Matters: The Bamberg Malefizhaus, 1627–31 Journal of Social History (IF 0.6) Pub Date : 2023-02-01 Spencer J Weinreich
In 1627, at the height of the Bamberg witch-hunt (1595–1631), the prince-bishopric erected the Malefizhaus (“witchcraft-house”), the first cellular prison purpose-built for solitary confinement. This article recovers the history of the Malefizhaus to establish the importance of imprisonment and carceral institutions to the early modern witch-craze. The prison at once concretized the ideology of the

Terrestrial Enlightenment: Ruin and Revolution in an Eighteenth-Century Climate Crisis Journal of Social History (IF 0.6) Pub Date : 2022-11-28 Patrick Anthony
Some scholars and scientists identify the eighteenth century as an inflection point in the Anthropocene, a geologic age in which humans act as a planetary force. This article suggests that this inflection point was characterized not only by new means and scales of environmental manipulation, but also by the development of climate politics.

The trial of “Big Nelly” Webb, a white bawdy house madam and sex worker who shot a Mounted Police constable on the doorstep of her brothel in 1888, offers critical insight into the world of these seldom acknowledged colonial institutions and the women who ran them.

Arrangements of sovereignty in Africa fundamentally shifted during the era of decolonization, temporarily bringing about political possibilities beyond empire or nation-state.
