Economic inequality and social mobility in preindustrial societies: What we know, what we don't (but should) know

The Economic History Review, EarlyView.
Abstract In recent years economic inequality has become a major research topic in economic history. However, much remains to be done to complete our knowledge of long‐term distributive dynamics. This article highlights several promising avenues for future research, focusing on the preindustrial period.

Regional and local divergence in welfare provision in England and Wales, 1776–1815

The Economic History Review, EarlyView.
Abstract This article uses the township‐level data on welfare expenditure and provision gathered by parish officers in England and Wales at three points between 1776 and 1815 to illuminate regional and local differences during the period. These data have been linked to geographic information system (GIS) mapping systems, facilitating the mapping of ...

Melusine, Emblem of the Self: The Female Traveler and the Contours of Acceptable Difference

The German Quarterly, EarlyView.
Abstract Though the foreign roots of Volksbücher such as Thüring von Ringoltingen's Melusine (1457) have long been recognized, these early modern German prose novels are still characterized as insular and folksy. Taking Melusine as an example, this article uses the framework of mobility to offer a new interpretation that posits the Volksbuch as an ...

The Landless Rural Workers Movement (MST) and New Agrarian Questions in Brazil

Journal of Agrarian Change, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Landless Rural Workers Movement of Brazil (MST) primarily organized occupations of large‐scale farms, forcing the redistribution of land for creation of agrarian reform settlements. In the past 20 years, however, land occupations and the establishment of new agrarian reform settlements have consistently declined, while the MST shifted ...

“Why can't they put us to sleep if we are suffering?”: La Nada and the desire for euthanasia among institutionalized older adults in Peru

Medical Anthropology Quarterly, EarlyView.
Abstract In this article, I examine how institutionalized older adults in Peru articulate suffering through the idiom of la nada—“nothingness”—and how this shapes desires for euthanasia. Moving from close ethnography of bodies in space and time to structural and ethical discourses on euthanasia, I argue that calls for euthanasia arise not only from ...

The 3D genome of Gigaspora margarita unveils stable chromatin and nucleolar organization and symbiont‐dependent genome dynamics

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) are widespread plant symbionts that enhance nutrient acquisition and influence ecosystem productivity. Previous chromosome‐level assemblies of the model species Rhizophagus irregularis revealed a two‐compartment genome architecture (active A and repressed B chromatin compartments), yet its conservation across ...

Durum Wheat cv. Svevo Reference Genome Rel.2.0: A Comprehensive Tool for Wheat Genomics

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Advancements in plant genome sequencing and assembly have enabled the production of increasingly accurate and contiguous genome sequences. Here, we present the chromosome‐level assembly of the durum wheat (Triticum turgidum L. ssp. durum, cv. Svevo) reference genome produced using accurate long‐reads, optical mapping and Hi‐C. The new assembly

Phenotypic expression of the gene‐for‐gene interaction in plant pathogenic bacteria: An implication for resistance to bacterial diseases by plants

Agrosystems, Geosciences &Environment, Volume 9, Issue 3, September 2026.
Abstract Plant pathogenic bacteria cause massive losses in agriculture and damage to natural plant habitats. Bacterial pathogens not only reduce crop production, but they also reduce crop quality by releasing toxins into the environment. Pathogenic bacteria that invade plant tissues must overcome the plant's defense mechanisms. Plants possess an innate

Conflict of cultures: a marginalised orphan of the colonial discourse ‘disinterred’ in Jack Maggs by Peter Carey

Currents, 2023
Jack Maggs by Peter Carey, being the Australian version of Dickens’s Great Expectations, challenges the Victorian propaganda about the primacy of a white race, openly opposing the Empire’s misdeeds and hypocritical behaviour of its citizens. Carey undermines the colonial discourse in the shape of Dickensian imperialistic England as a motherland ...
