Auf der Grundlage von Kirchenbüchern sowie zahlreicher zeitgenössischer Quellen wird das wirtschaftliche und kulturelle Leben in der Residenzstadt Berlin aufgearbeitet. Exemplarisch für die Entwicklung Berlins wurden zwei Berliner Kirchengemeinden ausgewählt: das innerstädtische Nikolai-Kirchspiel und das vorstädtische Kirchspiel St. Georgen. In beiden Parochien gemeinsam lebten um die Mitte des 18. Jahrhunderts 14 Prozent der lutherischen Berliner. Die alltäglichen Lebensbedingungen und die sozialen Beziehungen der Angehörigen verschiedener gesellschaftlicher Schichten können anhand der erhobenen Daten nachvollzogen werden. Der Hauptstadtpolitik der Hohenzollern, den Folgen von Kriegen, Seuchen und Hunger, dem gesellschaftlichen Wirken der Aufklärung wird anhand eines reichen Faktenmaterials konkret nachgegangen.

This two-volume collection of essays provides a comprehensive examination of the idea of social control in the history of Europe. The uniqueness of these volumes lies in two main areas. First, the contributors compare methods of social control on many levels, from police to shaming, church to guilds. Second, they look at these formal and informal institutions as two-way processes. Unlike many studies of social control in the past, the scholars here examine how individuals and groups that are being controlled necessarily participate in and shape the manner in which they are regulated. Hardly passive victims of discipline and control, these folks instead claimed agency in that process, accepting and resisting--and thus molding the controls under which they functioned. In both volumes, an introduction outlines the origins and the continuing value of the concept of social control. The introductions are followed by two substantive sections. The essays in part one of volume I focus on the interplay of ecclesiastical institutions and the emerging states; those in part two of volume I look more explicitly at discipline from a bottom-up perspective. The essays in part one of volume 2 explore the various means by which communities--generally working-class communities--in nineteenth-and twentieth-century Europe were subjected to forms of discipline in the workplace, by the church, and by philanthropic housing organizations. It notes also how the communities themselves generated their own forms of internal control. Part two of volume 2 focuses on various policing institutions, exploring in particular the question of how liberal and totalitarian regimes differed in their styles of control, repression, and surveillance.

The national public asylum system in Ireland was established during the early nineteenth century and continued to operate up to the close of the twentieth century. These asylums / mental hospitals were a significant physical and social feature of Irish communities. They were used intensively and provided a convenient form of institutional intervention to manage a host of social problems.Irish Insanity identifies the long-term trends in institutional residency through the development of a detailed empirical data set, based on an analysis of original copies of the reports of Inspector of Asylums.
