De Vrouw 1813-1913-2013

In their introduction to the theme of this issue Mieke Aerts and Lex Heerma van Voss sketch very briefly a number of differences between contemporary gender history and women’s history as it emerged in the 1970s. They see gender history as moving away from a narrow focus on equal rights and emancipation: nowadays, gender is studied as a complex historical and social category, in creative dialogue with other important ‘turns’ in historiography, as epitomised by postcolonial and transnational history. In this way the articles in this issue are able to demonstrate that subjects such as consumer culture, labour relations, education and religion, are not only very relevant to gender historians, but also make a crucial contribution to our understanding of modern Dutch history.
This article is part of the special issue 'De Vrouw 1813-1913'.
In deze inleiding op het themanummer schetsen Mieke Aerts en Lex Heerma van Voss zeer globaal hoe hedendaagse gendergeschiedenis zich onderscheidt van vrouwengeschiedenis zoals die in de jaren zeventig van de twintigste eeuw ontstond. Het verschil is vooral gelegen in het verschuiven van de focus op emancipatie en gelijke rechten van vrouwen naar aandacht in den brede voor de complexe werking van sekse of gender als maatschappelijke categorisering. Op die manier treedt gendergeschiedenis in creatieve dialoog met bijvoorbeeld postkoloniale en transnationale wendingen in de geschiedschrijving en wordt zichtbaar dat thema’s als consumentencultuur, arbeid, opvoeding en religie niet alleen relevant zijn voor gendergeschiedenis, maar meer in het algemeen voor een beter begrip van het moderne Nederland.

Introduction: The Early Modern State: Drivers, Beneficiaries, and Discontents
No full textDuring the early-modern period, the capacity of European states to raise finances, wage wars, make their own and far away populations subjects, and exert bureaucratic power over a variety of areas of social life increased dramatically. Nevertheless, these changes were far less absolute and definitive than the literature on the rise of the “modern state” once held. While war expanded the boundaries of the emerging fiscal military states of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, rulers remained highly dependent on negotiations with competing elite groups and private networks of contractors and financial intermediaries. Attempts to increase control over subjects often resulted in popular resistance, limiting and influencing the direction of the development of state institutions. Marjolein ‘t Hart has been and remains in the front lines of developing this new approach challenging a unilineal view of the transformation of European states. Starting from her innovative work on taxation, state finance, and the economics of warfare in the Low Countries during and after the “Dutch Wars of Independence”, she has contributed significantly to the literature on European state formation and extra-European expansion in a comparative perspective. This introduction offers an overview of the scholarly career of ‘t Hart, and places the contributions that follow in the context of her work.</p
Labour Conditions and Welfare Regimes in Contemporary Europe
No full textThe Development of the European welfare state is seen as an essential element in the transformation of European societies which started in the late nineteenth and early twentieth century. The period witnessed a large breakthrough of industrialism and some decisive steps in the evolution of mass society.
The second major step in the history of European welfare state took place in the period of economic and democratic reconstruction after the second world war. In those years, a significant development of democracy was guaranteed by the enlargement of both political and social citizenship?s rights in various European countries.
Other countries followed the same itinerary during the ?golden age? of the welfare state from the early 1960s to the mid-1970s. So the welfare state became an essential feature of the European social model. And it represents an high achievement of the Old Continent history and civilization.
The analysis aims to sketch a long-term process of transformation of the European welfare states which has been characterized by common growth tendencies and similar developmental problems as well as persisting institutional variations. We are convinced that studies of this kind could also teach us something about the solutions to be found for the present and future challenges
