This wide-ranging, comparative, and multidisciplinary collection addresses the significance of books in creating the idea of home. The chapters present cases that reveal the affective and sensory dimensions of books and reading in the practice of everyday life of individuals, in communities, and in society. The complex relationship of books, reading, and home is explored through American and European case studies both in bourgeois and middle-class homes, and in working-class and immigrant families and communities with limited possibilities for reading. The volume combines the conceptions and representations of domesticity, the materiality of reading, and library as a place, drawing on book history and material culture studies as well as anthropology and sociology of the home.

This volume offers a critical and creative analysis of the innovations of Deathscapes, a transnational digital humanities project that maps the sites and distributions of custodial deaths in locations such as police cells, prisons and immigration detention centres.

With a focus on all levels of government-- federal, provincial, and local -- the book also centers on Indigenous arts policies and practices.This systematic and inclusive volume will appeal to academic researchers, graduate students, managers of arts and culture programs and institutions, and in the areas of cultural policy, public administration, political science, cultural studies, film and media studies, theatre and performance, and museum studies.

Die in Südthüringen nahe der bayerischen Grenze gelegene Burgruine Henneberg zählt zu den bedeutenden Zeugnissen einer längst vergangenen Dynastie. Die Henneberger Grafen prägten im Hoch- und Spätmittelalter nicht nur die Geschichte Südthüringens und Unterfrankens entscheidend, sondern spielten zeitweise auch eine herausragende Rolle in der Reichsgeschichte. Von der im Bauernkrieg 1525 zerstörten Burg blieben nur wenige Gebäudereste erhalten. Archäologische Grabungen sowie die Arbeit von Historikern und Bauforschern haben jedoch wesentlich zur Erhellung des historischen Bestands beigetragen. Sehenswert sind die spätmittelalterliche Ringmauer, der mächtige Bergfried und besonders die Reste der Holzstube, die zu den ältesten Bauten dieser Art auf Burgen im deutschsprachigen Raum zählt.
