Thus framed, we can avoid 'viewing stereotyping as a fixed cause affecting social interactions. Stereotyping and its pervasiveness can instead be laid open to analysis and empirically examined as a result of rich, yet often divisive, social interactions'. This is what the volume tried to do.

become an integral part of such escalation: "Stereotyping was so foundational to social life, and yet so very liable to escalation, that collective engagements with stereotypes often ended up perpetuating or even accelerating the very processes of stereotyping".

In this open-access volume, my colleagues and I have explore how stereotypes were put to use in various negotiations of power in early modern politics, religion, economy and knowledge production. We have warned against relying too heavily on the notion of 'moral panic'.

Hello new followers!! I'm a historian interested in market and morality, improvement and state-formation, and more recently gender and feminism in England before its industrial take-off, c. 1550-1720. My first book was about what we might call the taming of capitalism before its triumph.

Super!! Permettez-moi de partager cette large image.
Il s'agit d'un manuscrit juridique français - 'law French' - écrit par un avocat formé à Londres au début du XVIIe siècle.
Je ne sais pas à quel point leur français était différent du bon français sur le continent.

How would you transcribe and then translate this sentence?
