Introduction The recent AOL/Time-Warner merger invites us to re-think the relationships amongst content producers, distributors, and audiences. Worth an estimated $300 billion (US), the largest Internet transaction of all time, the deal is 45 times larger than the AOL/Netscape merger of November 1998 (Ledbetter). Additionally, the Time Warner/EMI merger, which followed hard on the heels of the AOL/Time-Warner deal and is itself worth $28 billion (US), created the largest content rights organisation in the music industry.

Abstract:
The book is essentially a ‘home front’ study of Ireland during the Crimean War, or more specifically Irish society’s responses to that conflict. It complements the existing research on Irish servicemen’s experiences during and after the campaign, and also substantially develops the limited work already undertaken on Irish society and the conflict. It primarily encompasses the years of the conflict, from its origins in the 1853 dispute between Russia and the Ottoman Empire over the Holy Places, through the French and British political and later military interventions in 1854-5, to the victory,

Abstract:
Virginia Woolf evokes Sophocles’ tragedy Antigone in several of her private and published writings. However, the ancient play can be argued to be the intertext of Three Guineas (1938) in ways that go far beyond the few references to it in Woolf’s text. The tragic heroine is famously invoked as inspiration for Woolf’s proposal of the formation of a female ‘Society of Outsiders’ which would provide a resisting alternative to exclusive and unjust social structures and man-made laws that generate war. This chapter examines the references to Antigone by Woolf in the 1930s and set them against the a

In May 1919, 147 members of the Women’s International League for Peace and Freedom (WILPF) met in Zurich to discuss the issues of war, peace and international relations. Their meeting coincided with the publication of the post-war peace terms. As a result, WILPF was the first international association to outline its criticism of the Treaty of Versailles. The conference resolved that the Treaty would ‘create all over Europe discords and animosities, which can only lead to future wars’. A group of WILPF delegates travelled from Switzerland to France to lobby the male politicians at Versailles, a

Abstract:
This chapter addresses how the climax of the European debate over Jewish readmission came during the third quarter of the seventeenth century. For a quarter of a century, conferences, commissions, and petitions published and unpublished over whether or not to tolerate Jews, and if so on what terms, abounded from Poland to Portugal and from Hungary to Ireland. Why did the political and intellectual process of readmission culminate at this particular time? Several factors converged to intensify previous trends but what was the most crucial was the widespread backlash in Germany, following the ev

Abstract:
This chapter is on the experience of soldiers and veterans in Italy in 1919, with particular focus on those who volunteered to join Gabriele D’Annunzio’s occupation of Fiume. The seizure of the city was carried out in opposition to the Italian government and the Allies, and the ensuing regime crystallised many of the profound transformations in social power and relationships in Europe. A critical moment for the Italian state, it can also be regarded as an – inherently transnational – microcosm of the complicated patchwork of revolution and counter-revolution, civil war, anti-colonial movements

Abstract:
This chapter investigates a sermon by J. Leonard Levy, delivered immediately after American entry into World War I. Despite his German sympathies, he supported Wilson's call for American neutrality as one that ‘reveals his wisdom and splendid statesmanship’. Yet his sermon contains a resounding paean to the achievements of German science, culture, and society. However, when the United States declared war against the Central Powers, Levy followed the pattern of anti-militarists (and even many pacifists) among the clergy in expressing his apparently unreserved support for the policy of the Wilso

This chapter contains the reflections of Morris Joseph on war. He was one of the founders of the Jewish Peace Society, established in early 1914, and served as its chairman for many years. One can imagine the psychological toll exacted on a man of such convictions by the outbreak of the First World War. He did not question the decision by the British government to enter the war — ‘To have remained passive would have been a crime’, both against national honour and against the principles of justice and freedom — or the need for British Jews to ‘rally to the help of our beloved country in her hou

This chapter highlights the impact of the First World War and the changes in French Jewish society that paved the way for the expansion of Jewish associational and cultural life in the 1920s. It discusses how the war marked an important moment at which antisemitism subsided and Jewish belonging to the French nation was confirmed. It also talks about how Jewish participation in the war helped to popularize the notion that Jews were no less French for proudly affirming their unique spiritual and cultural heritage.

Abstract:
This chapter assesses the controversy over the knives used in sheḥitah, or slaughtering of animals. In east European Jewish society, meat was a central element of the diet, and the observance of the kosher laws was one of the most obvious ways in which Jews were distinguished from non-Jews. Moreover, a rigorous observance of these laws was one of the ways in which individual Jews demonstrated their piety. The quality of the ḥalaf, or knife used for sheḥitah, is one of the key elements in determining whether meat is kosher or not. During the early days of the hasidic movement, a dispute over th

This starts by establishing an opposition between identity conceived as a single root and as a ‘rhizome’, i.e. a multiple network of roots that reach out to other roots. In the Americas, there is often a conflict between the root-identity of the indigenous inhabitants and the rhizome-identity of the descendants of slaves. The role of myth in atavistic communities facilitates their construction of a history, based on the notions of Genesis and filiation, that legitimates their presence in a particular place, which thus becomes a territory.

Abstract:
This chapter offers a biographical sketch of Rashi. There are numerous folk legends about Rashi's birth, especially the miracles wrought for his mother during her pregnancy, and about his father and his father's journeys outside France and meetings with various sages, including Maimonides. None of these legends is reliably documented, however, and nothing can be gleaned from them about the events of Rashi's life. Ultimately, they reflect the cultural world of Jewish society in the late Middle Ages—a time that saw the composition, in Jewish circles as in Christian, of numerous hagiographical wo
