This article applies the theory of "key educational experiences" to argue that while German memorials and documentation centers provide visitors with ample information about the Third Reich, their tone of neutral objectivity and their strategies of identity dissociation prevent German visitors from identifying with the German past. The sites' declared educational goals are thus undermined. The author concludes that a post-traumatic pedagogy of repression and evasion is unlikely to create key experiences that will have long-term effects on visitors' identities.

<span class="paragraphSection"><div class="boxTitle">Abstract</div>Scholars of early modern gender and medicine have tended to focus on female infertility. Discussions that have included male reproductive failure have considered sexual ability and impotence, rather than infertility. Nonetheless, fathering children was important to male social standing and the fulfilment of their patriarchal roles. This article will demonstrate that male infertility was not absent from medical literature, but appeared in a variety of settings including tests for infertility, seventeenth-century handbills for treatments, and surgical treatises. It will show that medical and surgical writers accepted that men could be rendered infertile, but still sexually capable, in a variety of ways. Moreover, the article will show that seventeenth-century surgeons expected male readers to be concerned about their reproductive potential and constructed a framework of efficacy based upon their ability to secure on-going fertility.</span>

This article investigates the nineteenth-century debate within transnational medical networks about the physiological effects of celibacy for priests. Many doctors, motivated in part by their animosity towards the Catholic Church, argued that the vow of celibacy was not only futile, but responsible for sexual immorality in the church. However, medical opinion was never uniform, and other doctors rallied to the church, defending the celibate vow as largely benign. Both sides shared a willingness to look abroad for support and inspiration. This article investigates this debate as a transnational phenomenon, as key texts were translated and published across Europe and North America, and as several notorious case-studies emerged to form the focus of international controversy.

Nineteenth-century popular anti-Catholicism may not have reached the intensity of the Gordon Riots of 1780, but it was nevertheless sustained and hostile. Whilst a deep-rooted anti-Catholicism shaped the British psyche, a specific anti-Irish dimension also reared its head in response to epic migrations from the neighbouring island. This, in turn, saw traditions of intolerance spread around the globe as British and Irish migrants re-peopled vast territories. For a time, specifically in the few decades after the 1840s, anti-Catholic traditions were supported by a new brand of public theatre that became popular and financially rewarding. In one way, the emergence of a public style of no-popery entertainment was an effect of mass migration, shared, ingrained Protestant identities, and urban modernity. By examining press reportage, contemporary writings, and the works of specific preachers, this article examines the global patterns of posturing and violence that marked the careers of itinerants like Charles Chiniquy, Baron de Camin, Fr Gavazzi, and John Sayers Orr, paying particular attention to the way these preachers and their supporters affected global Irish Catholic communities throughout the Anglo-world.
