Ich verschenke eine Ausgabe meiner #Dissertation an jemand, der/die auf diesen Post reagiert. In der Diss geht es darum, wie durch Zulassungsverfahren von Schulgeschichtsbüchern der Nachkriegsjahre die Darstellung des #Nationalsozialismus beeinflusst wurde. Ich habe die institutionellen Machtverhältnisse und hegemonialen Denkstile herausgearbeitet und bin bei wesentlichen Akteuren auf ihre NS-Vergangenheit eingegangen.

Moin. Spannendes Thema, da wir alle und in diesem Fall nicht nur die biodeutschen, sondern alle, die in diesem Land beschult wurden zu den Betroffenen gehören. Mitsamt der Stunde-Null-Lüge, den Persilscheinen, dem "Mitläufertum". Es wäre zu eruieren, ob und inwieweit dies Folgen bis heute hat. Die Wahrheit ist bekanntlich nur einen "Vogelschiss" entfernt. Mich traumatisiert das bis heute, was mein Opa anrichtete.
@Historeiter@histodons@historikerinnen@bookhistodons / Ihre Dissertation interessiert mich. Bin seit 5 Jahren Lehrerin im "Seiteneinstieg" an den BbS Anhalt-Bitterfeld und für mich ist das Fach Deutsch mehr als Rechtschreibung.:)
Hello bibliographers! I'm wondering if people have strong feelings about whether the abbreviations for recto and verso (eg, fol. 178r) should be in superscript or not?
Yes, of course. What I meant was that you can’t just type the native superiors in Word or whatever. In a page-layout application like InDesign you can set a preference to apply them (and small caps) automatically, but Word doesn’t offer that, so you’d have to do something cumbersome. I use PopChar to access out-of-the-way characters, but a keystroke is so much easier.
As an editor now that I've left academia, I see that even the spelling checker and grammar checker have become "power features" that clients think not for them.
Microsoft has worked hard to teach people not to see those red and green squiggles – and hence blinded them to smaller details and all that we convey through them.
I have found my True Love, and it is this miniature, Mohawked, axe-wielding maniac and their, uh… [hound? horse? rabid hedgehog? (whatever it is, I’m here for it)] scribbled by some medieval or early modern kid in a Cambridge University Library legal manuscript. #MedievalManuscripts#Manuscripts#doodles#DoodleArt#CHARGE! 🪓🤺

Outstanding talk today by @erik_kwakkel on the unique combination of intuition and rational analysis that allow the expert paleographer to identify the time and place when a #medieval#manuscript was produced.
I have to teach tomorrow, but for many students in a college town--as it once was, so shall it always be, Alpha et Omega--the weekend begins tonight, on Thirsty Thursday.
Here is a huge line of students waiting to get into a local bar, circa 8 p.m. (I was coming from dinner after our #BookHistory seminar on materiality, spatiality, and temporality in Martial's poetry
Being in Cambridge, today I’m fortunate to be able to attend ‘The Care of #Books Is a Difficult Business’, a symposium honouring the legacy of Francis Jenkinson (1853 Aug 20–1923 Sep 21), librarian of Cambridge University Library from 1899 until 1923. A full day of excellent papers, display of Jenkinsoniana, and a reception are planned. #GLAM#Libraries @bookhistodons

Thanks for the reference. And: good point. There is the occasional story about an individual book but I am not aware of one for your field as a whole
Yesterday was the birthday of Cardinal Antoine Perrenot de Granvelle, a surprisingly important figure in the history of #EarlyModern worship and #BookHistory. So I wrote a blogpost in his honour!
@mcegillion@histodons@bookhistodons Ooh, going to read it after work. I still need to return to the Louvre to see Antonio Moro's depiction of his dog and dwarf (sorry for the crude naming) . Such an intriging painting.
