Das Buch (hervorgegangen aus der Habilschrift) von Catherine Davies ist seit Freitag erschienen!
Und hier gibts den ersten Podcast dazu.
Vergewaltigung in der Ehe wurde in Deutschland erst 1997 kriminalisiert. Die vorausgegangenen Kämpfe von Feministinnen analysiert Hannah Catherine Davies in „Rechtsstaat und Patriarchat“. Im Podcast spricht sie mit @hannahschmidtott.bsky.social über Wandel, Staat und Strafe.

Great keynote of @ankahajkova.bsky.social on the history of love and sexuality during the Holocaust. How to write about these intimate histories, both historical and contemporary? A reoccurring theme during the conference “Love, Sexuality, and Intimacy in Exile.” @univie.ac.at.

Amazingly, almost everything in this skeet is wrong. The myth of Spinoza's "excommunication" is mostly a product of twentieth century post-Christian wishful thinking.
Today is the birthday of Baruch Spinoza, the great 17th-century Dutch Jewish rationalist philosopher. One of the leading lights of the Dutch Golden Age, Spinoza's writings were often controversial in his day, and he was (and remains) excommunicated from his religious community. #💙📚 #Booksky

Trump demands Ukraine to agree to his 28-point “peace plan”.

There is no sign of ceasefire preparations in Donetsk oblast. There is only raw, muddy and deadly war going on.

This is not peace and this deal won’t bring us peace. This is what Ukrainian soldiers think 🧵

Heathrow express says they close the gates 60s before departure in Paddington but really it is 120s, I can tell you. It took a guy who arrived after me to get the gates to open, I was not that persuasive.

I run across Seymour de Ricci (1881-1942) every so often & dip my toes into the rabbithole--one day I will fall in: bibliographer, Orientalist, a Montefiore, first wife a Dreyfus. Last biographical treatment = 8 pages in 1942? Daughter died in 2008. #bookhistory #Jewishstudies.

@rtwsz.bsky.social und ich haben zu Konstantin Wecker recherchiert, dem berühmten Liedermacher aus München. Es geht um eine intime Beziehung, die er mit einer Jugendlichen geführt hat. Sie war 15 Jahre alt, als es los ging. Konstantin Wecker war damals 63.
