Pleidooien voor verdraagzaamheid
Dit deel in de Coornhert-reeks bevat twee nog niet eerder verschenen achttiendeeeuwse teksten. Ze behandelen burgerlijke en godsdienstige vrijheid en verdraagzaamheid. De auteurs, Boudewijn van Rees en Cornelius Rogge, waren beiden remonstranten. Ze voerden gezamenlijk actie voor de scheiding van kerk en staat in het kader van de Bataafse Republiek en later sloegen ze de handen ineen bij een poging tot een verenigde protestantse kerk van Nederland te komen. Deze geschriften vormen de grondslag voor dat streven. In de inleiding behandelt Simon Vuyk het debat over tolerantie in de achttiende eeuw en de kerkelijke context van die tijd.

Medical science, the state, and the construction of the juvenile drug addict in early Soviet Russia
Although juvenile drug addiction is generally recognized as a global contemporary problem, it is often presented in largely simplified form. Insufficient attention has been paid to the historical roots of drug addiction and its various cultural forms. This is surprising, since interdisciplinary research on the history of drug addiction allows you to explore the intersection of medical theory, practical policy, social context, and cultural values. In the Russian context, the emergence of juvenile drug addiction as a social problem can be traced back to the years between the outbreak of World War I in 1914 and the end of the 1920s. Accordingly, this article focuses on medical texts from the period to establish how drug use by adolescents was constructed as a form of delinquency and a specific social problem requiring immediate intervention. The government and local public health authorities implemented many solutions by the end of the 1920s. Homeless children and prostitutes were no longer seen on the streets of Russian cities. Large sums of money were allocated to produce medical propaganda, sanitary education, and popular medical literature.

FROM THE ALTERNATIVES LIBRARY: BOOKS IN PRISON
Another long-term project undertaken is a follow-on to the poetry workshops. So much interest was generated by the workshops we felt it imperative that we continue working with the poets of the group. The young men were asked if they would like to create an anthology of their poetry to be published by the Alternatives Library. The response was one of excitement and immediate offers of poetry. Since I am at the facility on a regular basis, I became the project poetry collector. The poetry collection and the computer text entry took about six months. Then a local computer designer 3 volunteered to lay out the whole project and prepare it for a printer. In the meantime, one of the residents finished the cover art. Once we had copy that was satisfactory to the artist, writers and to us, we sent the disk and hard copy to our printer and had the proofs back in two weeks. It looked good, so we went to press. In another two weeks we had 500 copies of our book, Inside Coming Out: Incarcerated Youth Express Their Feelings. But we weren't finished yet. In spite of having gone over every page of the manuscript, we missed some last names that had not been changed to initials only, and that's a no-no. Because the records of juvenile offenders are not available to the public, and the names are protected, before distributing the books to the contributors and letting them out to the public, the administrative staff had to go through every book and black out any reference to last names. By early summer, all participants in the project had been given five books and the rest are being offered as thanks to anyone donating to the project. The money is put in a special account and is used to continue the writing program. We started the second book on 9/11.

Stockholm Noir: Neoliberalism and Gangsterism in Easy Money
Every man is enemy to every man.Thomas Hobbes Leviathan (1651/2004, p. 77)Adios losers.Jorge in Jens Lapidus's Easy Money (Snabba cash, 2006/2008, p. 467)Young punks go from rags to riches, enjoy a brief time in the sun before their downfall in a hail storm of bullets. So goes the classical dark tale of gangsters such as Rico in Little Caesar (novel 1929, film 1931). The American motion picture code's specification that there should be no sympathy for the criminals suggested that there was a dangerous aspect in the attraction to these films (Black 1994: 108). It could very well be that the Motion Picture Producers and Distributors of America (MPPDA) president Will H. Hayes was averse from seeing the harsh social realities of the 1930s Depression depicted on the screen, including a corrupt legal system, but a danger of the gangster film was also its disturbing allegory on the daring entrepreneur that capitalism held up as a social ideal.In essence, the gangster story is a warped Horatio Alger tale. Carl Freedman notes in his book Versions of Hollywood Crime Cinema (2013: 15–45) that it connects to the mystery of the origins of capitalism in what Karl Marx called ‘primitive accumulation’, the consciously repressed history about how common lands and natural resources were privatised and how companies, backed up by national armed forces, plundered non-European continents of their riches. The greedy and ruthless gangster's rise to social success is but a small-scale reflection of the genocides and the violent redistribution of wealth that gave birth to modern-day capitalism.Gangsterism is also the ultimate expression of what the German sociologist Ferdinand Tonnies called Gesellschaft. While his other key concept Gemeinschaft describes the ‘natural’ personal relations and values often found in rural communities, Gesellschaft stands for the ‘constructed’ impersonal relations through business and formal interaction that characterise life in the urban capitalist era (Asplund 1991: 63–90). As national identity became a central issue in twentieth-century Europe – Fascism being the most extreme ideological project – gangsters and other social, legal and moral transgressors were often defined in popular culture as an alien intrusion of an otherwise idyllic Gemeinschaft.
