International Review of Social History
This article traces corporal and collective punishment in relation to the labour control of slaves and other dependent persons during the Ur III period (c.2100–2000 BCE). Slaves and other dependent persons often worked in related contexts with some overlap in treatment. Persons of different statuses could be detained and forced to work. Persons of various statuses also received rations and other benefits, but the evidence suggests that the most extreme forms of corporal punishment were reserved for slaves. This article, however, contextualizes these threats of mutilation and the death penalty, demonstrating that such punishments should be considered the exception and not the norm.

Das Logbuch Wissensgeschichte gibt vielfältige, inter- und transdisziplinäre Einblicke in Untersuchungsverfahren, materiale Forschungsgegenstände sowie begriffliche Instrumentarien des Sonderforschungsbereichs 980 Episteme in Bewegung. Wissenstransfer von der Alten Welt bis in die Frühe Neuzeit. Die hier zusammengeführten Studien und konzeptuellen Überlegungen zu Wissen in vormodernen Kontexten eröffnen in fünf Fokusbereichen – Modi, Material & Medium, Praktiken, Macht, Momentum – unterschiedliche Perspektiven auf ‚Episteme in Bewegung‘ und damit auf zwölf Jahre Verbundforschung. In den Beiträgen werden Begriffe und Konzepte in ihrer Produktivität für konkrete Fallstudien und ihre jeweiligen Forschungsgegenstände navigatorisch erprobt, reflektiert, präzisiert und zugleich in Bewegung gehalten. Das hier entfaltete Forschungsspektrum versteht sich als Ausgangspunkt, um den Leser⋅innen Anregungen für zukünftige Forschungen zu bieten.

The origin of the alphabet has been debated for centuries with the current paradigm proposing a Levantine origin. I summarize here some lines of evidence that lead me to believe that the invention of the alphabet has taken place within an broader Aegean context.

Imagining transformation otherwise, 2021
This publication features ten case studies of organizations and initiatives from around the world that are committed to bringing about positive changes in society and strive to do that in different ways. Working in diverse social, cultural, and political contexts, the organizations and initiatives presented in this publication seek to address the systemic inequalities, injustices, and harm they perceive as important. They strive to do that in ways that correspond to their analysis of the problems, their respective theories of change, and their available means and resources. Although highly diverse in the ways they approach social change, these organizations and initiatives emphasize the importance of learning and unlearning in their work. This applies in equal measure to those initiatives with an explicitly education-oriented mission and to those that work on other approaches to social change, such as different practices of (internal) organizational transformation.
