Global communication electric: business, news and politics in the world of telegraphy

World politics and a global economy only became possible with the creation of "global communication electric." This book examines the emergence of this global media system between 1860 and 1930 in four sections-"Inter|Nationalisms," "Agents|Actors," "Use|News," and "Space|Time" - that aim to broaden and challenge popular conceptions of telegraphy. In exploring the varied uses of telegraphy, real or imagined, Global Communication Electric expands the notion of the telegraph as a globalizing medium: of connection as well as friction; of political, social, and economic entanglement as well as disentanglement; and of crossing as well as creating distance in space and time.

Obwohl der Erste Weltkrieg oder der Große Krieg, wie er in der englischsprachigen Forschung zuweilen noch genannt wird, gemeinhin als Beginn einer amerikanischen Dominanz in der Weltpolitik gesehen wird, die dann nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg ihren Zenit erreichte, möchte ich argumentieren, dass der Aufstieg der Vereinigten Staaten zu einer imperialen Macht bereits nach 1865 erfolgte, langsam zwar und durchaus nicht linear, doch aber merklich und nachhaltig. Der titelgebende Fokus des Buches liegt daher auf der Zeit von der Reconstruction zum Spanisch-Amerikanischen Krieg – der Zeit, in der die innenpolitischen Veränderungen, die zum Teil das Resultat des Bürgerkriegs selbst waren, zum Tragen kamen. Die Stärkung der Exekutive zu Lasten der Legislative, die Schaffung neuer exekutiver Zuständigkeiten sowie die Professionalisierung des Beamtenapparats waren ab...

Using national variations in the accessibility of combat functions to women, the degree of pressure exerted on a given war-time society's gender order is explored by comparing Britain, the United States, and the Soviet Union, which differ markedly regarding both the military exigencies placed upon them and the degree of female militarization adopted. The comparative perspective reveals differences in what dimensions are perceived as problematic in the relation of gender and combat and what are the conditions shaping this perception. Secondly, the conditions become apparent under which combat functions are made available to women, and thirdly, the long-term effects of the reconfiguration of the gender order under war-time conditions can be explored.

At the same time, military service provided many women with mobility, education, and greater economic and personal autonomy. Women soldiers were subject to rumors and hostility by the public and media that found the stereotypical 'feminine' to be irreconcilable with the stereotypically masculine 'soldier' and considered both lesbian and heterosexual women's sexual agency a threat to military masculinity and established gender roles. Archival records of the US Army show that women's sexuality was controlled by discourses of desexualization and/or hypersexualization, by policies denying their sexual agency and of their victimization. The WAC leadership created an image of the ''respectable'' female soldier based on assumptions about the class and race nature of sexual morality. During the Second World War (WWII), military psychiatrists' focus on homosexuality shifted from criminal to medical concepts. Concerns over lesbianism in the Corps, which was the apotheosis of cultural anxieties over women's entrance into the military, highlight the performative nature and the close connections between the categories gender and sexuality.
