Militärhistorische Forschung basiert immer noch weitgehend auf schriftlichen Quellen. Es existieren aber zahlreiche andere Zugänge wie etwa Objekte, Bild- oder Tonquellen, aus denen Kenntnis der Vergangenheit gewonnen werden kann. Der Band zur Jahrestagung 2021 der Schweizerischen Vereinigung für Militärgeschichte und Militärwissenschaften nimmt die Vielfalt der Quellen in den Fokus und zeigt auf, wo Chancen für die militärhistorische Forschung auch in Bezug auf die Interdisziplinarität liegen können.

Ce livre d'entretiens revient sur un itinéraire et des chantiers ouverts dès les années 1970. Il restitue les rencontres, les échanges et les travaux menés avec Michel Foucault ou Robert Badinter. Cette histoire pénitentiaire s'ouvre par la révolte des prisons, en France comme aux États-Unis, et montre comment la question carcérale est devenue d'actualité. Michelle Perrot pousse ensuite les portes des maisons d'arrêt et des centrales, s'intéresse aux "modèles" d'enfermement, mais aussi au "gibier pénal", c'est-à-dire aux détenus et aux prisonnières. Elle s'arrête enfin sur la séduction du fait divers qui, par la médiatisation du crime, attise le voyeurisme mais constitue aussi une entrée pour saisir l'état d'une société et la part obscure des individus.

'Living Together' is one of three volumes collecting previously published essays by Jennifer Whiting. This volume explores Aristotle's conception of eudaimonia, especially the roles played in it by the theoretical and practical activities central to human lives and by the quality of our relationships with one another. Whiting explores Aristotle's struggle to reconcile the desirability of living in accordance with justice and other distinctively human virtues with the ideal of pursuing the 'divine' life of contemplation.
