Sehr gutes Ex. - ISSN 1616-6485. - Englisch. // The subject of transnational lives has only recently gained importance in historical research. With its transnational approach to "mobility and biography", this volume brings together research on aspects of mobility and biography across different times and spaces to open up new interdisciplinary perspectives. Networks, movements and the capacity to become socially or spatially mobile in and across Europe are not only analysed as structural factors, but rather seen as connected to concrete practices of mobility among different groups in the spheres of business, politics and the arts: from Jewish merchants via legal and financial advisors all the way to musicians. Volume 16 of the European History Yearbook is edited by Sarah Panter (Mainz). // INHALT : Sarah Panter, Johannes Paulmann and Margit Szollosi-Janze -- Mobility and Biography: Methodological Challenges and Perspectives -- Cornelia Aust -- Jewish Mobility in the Eighteenth Century: Familial Networks of Ashkenazic Merchants across Europe -- Rainer Liedtke -- Agents for the Rothschilds: A Nineteenth-Century Information Network -- Simone Derix -- Hidden Helpers: Biographical Insights into Early and Mid-Twentieth Century Legal and Financial Advisors -- Nico Randeraad -- Triggers of Mobility: International Congresses (1840-1914) and their Visitors -- Lucas Geese, Wolfgang Goldbach and Thomas Saalfeld -- Mobility and Representation: Legislators of Non-European Origin in the British -- House of Commons, 2001-2015 -- Gesa zur Nieden -- Mobile Musicians: Paths of Migration in Early Modem Europe -- Alix Heiniger and Thomas David -- Mobility and Social Control: French Immigration in Geneva during the Belle Epoque -- Forum -- Robert Brier -- Beyond the Quest for a "Breakthrough": Reflections on the Recent Historiography on Human Rights -- List of Contributors.
