The Dogaressa of Venice, 1200-1500: Wife and Icon
This book focuses on the identity of the dogaresse, wives of the elected leaders (doges) of late medieval Venice. The study traces the evolution of official and public functions of this group of wives, and the limitations placed upon them, during Venice's development into an international economic and political power. The book examines the the challenges of female proximity to, intersection and interaction with Venice's unique and male-dominated political system and considers the tensions between the state, family and gender that met in the person of the ducal consort. Further, this work places these political wives in a broader context through comparison with other political consorts. The project enhances historical understanding of women, family and the gendering of political environments in the most Serene Republic.

The False Coin of Our Own Dreams: Toward an Anthropological Theory of Value by David Graeber, ISBN 0312240457
This innovative book is the first comprehensive synthesis of economic, political, and cultural theories of value. David Graeber re-examines a century of anthropological thought about value and exchange, in large measure to find a way out of quandaries in current social theory, which have become critical at the present moment of ideological collapse in the face of Neoliberalism. Rooted in an engaged, dynamic realism, Graeber argues that projects of cultural comparison are in a sense necessarily revolutionary projects: He attempts to synthesize the best insights of Karl Marx and Marcel Mauss, arguing that these figures represent two extreme, but ultimately complementary, possibilities in the shape such a project might take. Graeber breathes new life into the classic anthropological texts on exchange, value, and economy. He rethinks the cases of Iroquois wampum, Pacific kula exchanges, and the Kwakiutl potlatch within the flow of world historical processes, and recasts value as a model of...
