Este artigo tem por objetivo analisar como se deu a criação e implementação do 5º grupo escolar Barão do Rio Branco em Belém-PA no período de 1902 a 1906. É uma pesquisa documental, que utilizou como fontes históricas o Decreto nº 625 de 1899, o livro de Virgílio Oliveira de 1903, mensagens de governadores (1899-1900), o Diário Oficial de 1900, dentre outras. Dialogamos com Nosella e Buffa (2013), Sanfelice (2007), Souza (2014), Sarges (2010), Schueler e Magaldi (2009), Nery (2013), entre outros. O 5º grupo escolar foi criado pelo Decreto Nº 1.133, de 22 de março de 1902. Funcionou inicialmente em um prédio alugado e, em 1906, o Governo do Pará comprou um prédio próprio. Foi uma instituição com elevado número de matrículas e participou da formação intelectual e social de alunos e alunas, o que muito se buscava no período republicano.

The fauna of Iranian Anthicidae and pediline Pyrochroidae (Coleoptera) is summarized in this paper. A total of 132 species from 19 genera and four subfamilies (Anthicinae, Notoxinae, Steropinae, and Tomoderinae) of Anthicidae and two species of Pedilinae are listed. Three new synonyms are proposed: Anthicus armatus Truqui, 1855 = A. pseudoarmatus Telnov, 2008 syn. nov., Notoxus hirtus LaFerté-Sénectère, 1849 = N. caucasicus Pic, 1900 syn. nov., Stricticomus rufithorax (LaFerté-Sénectère, 1849) = Anthicus transcaspicus var. subnotata Pic, 1910 syn. nov. One new combination is made: Nitorus unifasciatus (Desbrochers des Loges, 1875) comb. nov. (from Pseudoleptaleus Pic, 1900). Thirteen species are reported for the fauna of Iran for the first time: Anthicus armatus Truqui, 1855, A. episcopalis Pic, 1903, A. quadrispilus Marseul, 1879, Cyclodinus reitteri (Pic, 1892), Leptaleus klugii klugii LaFerté-Sénectère, 1849, Stricticomus araxicola (Reitter, 1889), S. arcuaticeps (Pic, 1900), S. herzi (Pic, 1905), Microhoria aphaenops (Pic, 1902), Tenuicomus finalis Telnov, 2003, Notoxus hirtus LaFerté-Sénectère, 1849, N. simulans simulans Heberdey, 1935, and Tomoderus scydmaenoides Reitter, 1878.

Helena z Walewskich (1881–1956) i Antoni (1868–1952) Siemiątkowscy herbu Jastrzębiec byli właścicielami majątków Wojsławice i Tymienice do wybuchu II wojny światowej. Ich siedzibą był pałac w Wojsławicach zbudowany w latach 1900–1902, skąd zostali usunięci we wrześniu 1939 r. Mieli trzech synów: Bolesława (1901–1935), Józefa (1904–1939), Jana (1909–1958) oraz córkę Marię (1903–1979). Część II opowieści o rodzinie Siemiątkowskich zawiera wspomnienie Heleny z Walewskich Siemiątkowskiej o dzieciństwie i tragicznej śmierci syna Bolesława, który został ranny w niewyjaśnionych okolicznościach. W pałacu w Wojsławicach zamieszkiwali do września 1939 r. córka Maria z Siemiątkowskich Klińska z trojgiem dzieci (Jan, Maria Antonina zw. Tereską, Zofia Klińscy) oraz syn Jan Siemiątkowski. Opracowanie ukazuje życie mieszkańców wojsławickiego dworu nie tylko w okresie międzywojennym ale również przedstawia losy rodziny Siemiątkowskich z dala od rodzinnego gniazda, w nowej nieprzyjaznej powojennej rzeczywistości.

The collection of the United States National Museum of Natural History includes 183 type specimens of Yponomeutoidea: 106 holotypes, 24 lectotypes, 2 neotypes and 14 species described from syntypes. The primary type specimens of Yponomeutoidea are catalogued with annotations of their collecting data, specimen condition and, if any, uncertainty involving in the type series. Lectotypes are designated for 23 species comprising six Argyresthiidae: Argyresthia alternatella Kearfott, 1908, A. bolliella Busck, 1907, A. castaneella Busck, 1915, A. furcatella Busck, 1916, A. laricella Kearfott, 1908, A. libocedrella Busck, 1916; two Attevidae: Atteva exquisita Busck, 1912, Oeta comptana var. floridana Neumoegen, 1891; Bedelliidae: Bedellia minor Busck, 1900; two Glyphipterigidae: Abrenthia cuprea Busck, 1915, Glyphipterix semiflavana Issiki, 1930; two Heliodinidae: Lamprolophus lithella Busck, 1900, Scelorthus pisoniella Busck, 1900; three Lyonetiidae: Leucoptera erythrinella Busck, 1900, L. pachystimella Busck, 1904, L. smilaciella Busck, 1900; Praydidae: Eucatagma amyrisella Busck, 1900; three Yponomeutidae: Swammerdamia castaneae Busck, 1914, Zelleria celastrusella Kearfott, 1903, Z. gracilariella Busck, 1904; three putative yponomeutoids: Pliniaca bakerella Busck, 1907, Pl. sparsisquamella Busck, 1907, Podiasa chiococcella Busck, 1900.

Buscando entender de que modo a estética Art Nouveau emerge na arte gráfica do Rio de Janeiro no começo do século XX, problematiza-se a sua presença na capital do Brasil a partir da circulação de ideias entre o Rio de Janeiro e Paris, com a Exposição Universal de 1900, assim como da constituição de um campo artístico brasileiro em torno de Eliseu Visconti (1966–1944), que retornara ao país em 1902. Para tanto, analisa-se os trinta e três exemplares da Revista da Semana (1900) e os cento e vinte de O Malho (1902–1904), identificando que a Arte Nova emerge na arte gráfica do Rio de Janeiro em dois momentos distintos, em 1900 e em 1902, configurando-se em outra Arte Moderna antes do Modernismo de 1922.

Five Tamarix taxa were described in Freyn’s posthumous publication (Freyn 1903): Tamarix askabadensis Freyn (1903: 1059), Tamarix karakalensis Freyn (1903: 1060), T. karakalensis var. scoparia Freyn (1903: 1062), T. karakalensis var. verrucifera Freyn (1903: 1062), and T. karakalensis var. myriantha Freyn (1903: 1062). This publication comprised an enumeration of the plants collected by Paul Sintenis in “Tauria, 1900–1901” (in the Sintenis’s voucher labels as “Iter transcaspico-persicum 1900–1901”), by Ove Paulsen in “regione caspica, transcaspica, praesertium in altiplanitie Pamir, 1898–1899”, and by Victor Ferdinand Brotherus “in Turkestania, 1896”. However, all Tamarix taxa treated in that work belong to those collected by Sintenis. It is important to point out that Sintenis was mostly a plant collector who sold his vouchers to many different herbaria: ANK, BHUPM, BREM, G, GH, HAC, JE, LD, PAL, PR, TUB, VT, W, WAG, and WU (acronyms according to Thiers 2014). However, his personal herbarium (ca. 80000 vouchers of 18000 species) was acquired by the Herbarium of the Botanical Museum of Lund (LD) in 1921–1922 (Patrik Frödén pers. comm.).

Abstract John Murray was effectively Edith Wharton's first British publisher, bringing out three of her works between 1900 and 1902: The Touchstone (1900) (in Britain, A Gift from the Grave), Crucial Instances (1901), and The Valley of Decision (1902). The correspondence between Wharton and Murray, until recently unknown to Wharton scholars, sheds light on the composition of, and Wharton's stated intentions for, the texts in question, as well as on her early professional evolution. This article places this correspondence in the context of Wharton's early career, and examines some of the correspondence between Wharton and Murray in detail (that concerning The Valley of Decision, in particular).

The article is devoted to the second stage of architectural and design activity of Hector (Hector) Guimar (1867–1942), during which his unique style was finally formed. During the period from 1900 to 1912, following the traditions of «total design», the architect was engaged not only in the design of residential and public buildings, but also in the decorative design of their facades and interiors, furniture, tableware, elements of technical equipment. He compiled a catalog of metal decorative elements for their serial production, published a set of advertising cards of his best works. The most well-known architectural designs are made in Guimard’s style, such as the house Jassede at Versailles (1903), Hotel Deron-Levent (1907), Castel d’Orgeval (1904–1905), Villa Surprise (1903-1907), Hôtel Guimard (1909–1912), Hôtel Mez-zara (1910–1911).

El veinticuatro de octubre de 1902 se redactó el convenio en la hacienda Neerlandia y el veintiuno de noviembre del mismo año se firmó en el buque norteamericano Wisconsin, un acuerdo de paz que produjo el fin de la Guerra de Los Mil Días. Los liberales radicales capitulaban ante los conservadores de la Regeneración y grupos armados de liberales, liderados primordialmente, al mando de Benjamín Herrera y Rafael Uribe Uribe, convinieron dejar la lucha armada y consensuar con el gobierno conservador de José Manuel Marroquín (1900–1904). Con los acuerdos de paz decretados, se cerró el siglo XIX en Colombia y se entró al siglo XX. Las consecuencias de la conflagración fueron la pérdida de Panamá el tres de noviembre de 1903 y la llegada al solio presidencial del militar comerciante boyacense y conservador Rafael Reyes (1904–1909).

This thesis examines the popular and cultural legacy of Charles Dickens in the period 1900-1940. During this period Dickens was largely ignored or derided within the academy but his works remained consistently marketable to a popular audience. The thesis explores Dickens’s mass cultural appeal, assessing what the term ‘Dickensian’ represented in the early decades of the twentieth century and evaluating Dickens’s role as a national figure. This thesis engages with recent scholarship in the fields of Dickens criticism, heritage studies and material culture to explore a popular appreciation of Dickens which is characterised by its language of feeling and affect. The first chapter situates Charles Dickens’s literary standing and cultural legacy in the light of both critical and popular responses to his work. The chapter charts the development of the Dickens Fellowship and examines the role of this literary society in constructing and promoting a selective public image of Dickens. Chapter Two examines the motivations behind different forms of collecting, and suggests that collecting can be understood as a form of popular engagement with Dickens’s writing. The chapter contends that Dickensian collecting differs significantly from broader collecting practices and can be viewed as a more generous model of collecting. The idea of collecting as a popular response to Dickens is extended in Chapter Three which takes as its focus one particular form of book collecting: the practice of grangerization. Grangerization is characterised as an alternative reading practice through which the experience of reading a text could be extended. Two further alternative reading practices are explored in Chapters Four and Five. Chapter Four demonstrates how in founding the ‘Dickens House Museum’, the Dickens Fellowship aimed to create a permanent memorial site for Dickens. The chapter highlights the language of feeling utilised in the promotional material for the museum and argues that the items selected for display were designed to produce an emotional and imaginative response in the museum’s visitors. Chapter Five considers how readers expressed their engagement with Dickens’s works through literary pilgrimages to sites from his novels. The chapter suggests that these pilgrimages represent an active reading of Dickens’s novels, which offer readers a participatory experience of immersion in the world of the narrative. It argues that this kind of immersive experience is generated by the strong affective responses of many readers to Dickens’s writings.

"Bostadspolitik i Västerås kommun 1900-1950" undersöker den kommunala bostadspolitiken i Västerås under den första halvan av 1900-talet genom att studera hur kommunfullmäktige diskuterat frågan och vilka beslut de tagit. I början av perioden fanns det ingen egentlig bostadspolitik i Västerås. Senare utvecklas diverse bostadspolitiska lösningar, framförallt för att bemöta bostadsbrist, som leder fram välfärdsstatens bostadspolitik under det sena 1900-talet. Undersökningen resulterade i slutsatsen att bostadspolitiken under perioden i mycket stor utsträckning karakteriserades av tillfälliga åtgärder riktade mot specifika grupper, t.ex. hyreshjälp åt bostadslösa arbetare. Först mot slutet av den undersökta perioden riktar sig bostadspolitiken i Västerås mot en generell befolkning på lika villkor.

Many studies have been made of the 'Mexican Mural Renaissance', but these generally have not provided an integrated account of the philosophical and ideological beginnings, development and end of the Mexican government's 1920's programme. Also, recent studies dealing with aspects of the programme have brought new evidence forward which allows this study to provide an overview of the social, political and aesthetic context of the mural programme. This is helpful in the assessment of the muralists' artistic achievements both as individuals and as members of the artists' syndicate. Primary source material such as the artists' autobiographies and the newspapers such as 'La Vanguardia' and 'EI Machete' to which they frequently contributed have also been studied closely to provide new insights into their political thinking and aesthetic principles as they sought to create a 'revolutionary art for all.' Since the programme was government-sponsored as part of a national education policy, the ideology of the regimes which preceded and followed the Revolution of 1910-17 has been examined to ascertain how well the muralists' ideals and work matched the expectations of their official patrons. Accordingly an account is also given of the political life of Mexico, in particular during the dictatorship of Porfirio Diaz and the Revolution, and especially close attention is given to politics during the 1920's when the mural programme was underway. Concerning the muralists themselves, aspects of their experience which may have influenced their art are considered concurrently with their contemporary work. This is particularly important as a major question addressed in this study concerns the reduction of the muralists' programme from a group project, to the efforts of three noted muralists with assistance in some cases from others previously employed as muralists in their own right, to the final reduction of the programme to just Diego Rivera and several assistants.

This is a study of the interpretation of archaeological data by Anglo-American Bible scholars, though the emphasis is primarily American, in scholarly and popular publications from 1900-1930. The major archaeological research interest for many Anglo-American biblical scholars was its direct reflection on the biblical record. Many were devout and reared on a literal reading of Scripture. Traditional scholars insisted that the function of archaeology was to provide evidence to validate the Bible and to disprove higher criticism. They were clearly motivated by theological concerns and created an archaeology of faith that authenticated the word of the Lord and protected Christian doctrines. Liberal or mainstream scholars rejected conservative methods that simply collated archaeological data to attack the documentary hypothesis and its supporters. Several eminent Bible scholars developed important studies on the interpretation of archaeological results from Palestine. They participated eagerly in analyzing archaeological material and refused to concede the field of biblical archaeology to theologically-motivated conservative scholars and theologians. They were determined to conduct important investigations of the archaeological evidence free from theological bias. Palestinian excavations lacked the spectacular architectural and inscriptural remains unearthed in Egypt and Mesopotamia. The popular press did occasionally report on the progress of several excavations from Palestine, but, for the most part, Palestinian excavations concentrated on tells and pottery and the results were disappointing. However, by the 1920s the New York Times was a major source of information concerning archaeological news and frequently carried stories that indicated that archaeology was confirming the biblical record and many of the Bible's revered figures. The Times played a vital role in popularizing biblical archaeology and contributed many illustrations of amazing archaeological discoveries that "proved" the historicity of the biblical text. W. F. Albright's scholarly conclusions in the 1920s were moderate. Albright's scholarship was not motivated by theological concerns as many have assumed. Though his religious convictions were assuredly conservative, his scholarship had little in common with the tendentious archaeological assumptions created by conservative Bible scholars and theologians. Albright's interpretations were based on the archaeological data and not on theological dogma.

Amb el títol de «Joventut» (1900-1906) i el darrer modernisme presentem la recerca sobre aquest setmanari que, a més de la tasca catalanista i cultural en sentit ampli empresa durant els seus set anys de vida, va impulsar, primer en paral.lel i després en solitari fins al 1914, l'edició d'obres dels més reputats autors catalans i estrangers. El nostre treball s'estructura en catorze apartats els quals, a banda del capítol I. ESTAT DE LA QÜESTIÓ, destinat a revisar els materials bibliogràfics més significatius que d'ençà de la fi de l'editorial i fins a l'actualitat han estudiat o valorat la tasca dels homes de «Joventut», segueixen a grans trets aquest doble vessant de reconstrucció de la història externa de la revista i de l'editorial, per a passar després a analitzar els àmbits més significatius que vertebren i donen caràcter a la publicació. En el capítol II. LA FORMACIÓ DEL NUCLI INTEL.LECTUAL DE «JOVENTUT», reconstruïm la prehistòria del grup, és a dir, com es coneixen, quines són les seves col.laboracions en l'àmbit literari i la seva primera temptativa periodística al capdavant de «Setmana Catalanista». En el capítol III.«JOVENTUT» (1900-1906): DESCRIPCIÓ I FUNCIONAMENT, es comenten els inicis del setmanari, la composició del cos de redacció i els col.laboradors; la descripció més general de la revista; els motius que addueix la Redacció per posar fi al setmanari; i aspectes relatius al seu finançament i a la seva política comercial. En el capítol IV. LA BIBLIOTECA JOVENTUT (1901-1914), oferim una descripció general i completa de la tasca desenvolupada per l'editorial. En un segon bloc, comprès dels capítols V a l'XI, focalitzem l'atenció en el comentari analític, i contrastat amb la bibliografia, dels diferents àmbits temàtics en què «Joventut» estructura els seus continguts. Així, en el capítol V. EL DISCURS DE LA MODERNITAT, analitzem des d'un enfocament ampli, tres camps d'actuació en què el setmanari orienta els seus esforços de renovació: la construcció d'un espai liberal i de progrés en el si de la Unió Catalanista, el distanciament respecte a Espanya i la presentació d'alguns aspectes característics de l'obertura a Europa (feminisme, conreu de la ciència...). En el capítol VI. LA CREACIÓ I LA CRÍTICA LITERÀRIES, ens enfrontem a un complex i eclèctic panorama de les lletres, que analitzem des d'una triple perspectiva que segueix un eix cronològic: a) l'estudi de la recepció de la literatura vuitcentista i el debat sobre la funció dels Jocs Florals en els primers anys de segle )0C; b) el reflex de l'eclecticisme estètic com a paradigma de la modernitat contemporània, enfocant l'anàlisi per gèneres i singularitzant, en el cas de la poesia i de la prosa, l'estudi concret de la recepció de Joan Maragall, de Joaquim Ruyra i de Víctor Català; i c) la lectura dels clàssics a «Joventut», en la confluència amb el noucentisme emergent. En el capítol VII. LA CRÍTICA TEATRAL, emprenem l'estudi d'aquesta secció, al capdavant de la qual Emili Tintorer s'encarregà de fer balanç de la situació del teatre català, de formular propostes de futur per tal de regenerar l'escena catalana i modernitzar-la, i es va responsabilitzar de la recepció crítica de les obres dramàtiques representades a Barcelona. En el capítol VIII. LA CRÍTICA MUSICAL, en primer lloc, analitzem el perfil del primer i principal responsable, Joaquim Pena, i resseguim les seves aportacions crítiques i el grau d'intervenció del setmanari en la creació i l'impuls de l'Associació Wagneriana; i, en segon lloc, abordem l’evolució de la secció de crítica musical, després de la baixa de Pena, quan aquesta passa a mans de Jeroni Zanné i d’altres col·laboradors. Semblantment, en el capítol IX. ART: CREACIÓ I CRÍTICA, analitzem la tasca dels diversos directors artístics del setmanari (Alexandre de Riquer, Joan Brull i Sebastià Junyent, principalment), i comentem la posició de «Joventut» sobre el modernisme artístic, els debats sobre art, catalanisme i moral, i la defensa de l’art antic i del patrimoni, entre altres qüestions. Els dos apartats següents centren l’atenció en l’àmbit lingüístic. En el capítol X. EL DECIDIT IMPULS A L’ESPERANTO, analitzem la important feina de divulgació que el setmanari va emprendre, a partir de 1905 i de la mà de Frederic Pujulà i Vallès, a favor del coneixement i l’ús d’aquesta llengua internacional. I, finalment, tot i que no respon com en els altres casos a l’estudi d’una secció, en el capítol XI. «JOVENTUT» I LA LLENGUA CATALANA, tractem la defensa aferrissada de l’ús de la llengua catalana en tots els àmbits i les diverses opinions i controvèrsies a l’entorn de la llengua normativa. L’apartat d’estudi estricte del setmanari «Joventut» es completa, després dels obligats capítols XII. CONCLUSIONS i XIII. SELECCIÓ BIBLIOGRÀFICA, amb el capítol XIV.

Our research entitled «Joventut» (1900-1906) and the last modernism is about this weekly publication which, besides the Catalanist and cultural task carried out in a broad sense during its seven years of existence, it also promoted, firstly in parallel and later by itself, the edition of literary works by the most highly reputed Catalan and foreign authors. Our research work is organised in fourteen parts which, with the exception of Chapter 1, deal with the twofold perspective of the reconstruction of the external history of the weekly paper and the editorial department. This is followed by the analysis of the most meaningful fields that are essential and also provide its own character to the publication. Differently, Chapter I. THE STATE OF THE QUESTION (L'ESTAT DE LA QUESTIO) is intended to examine the most relevant bibliographic materials that have studied and valued the job of the editors of «Joventut» from the end of the publishing house to the present time. In chapter II. THE FORMATION OF THE INTELLECTUAL CORE OF «JOVENTUT» (LA FORMACIO DEL NUCLI INTELLECTUAL DE «JOVENTUT»), we reconstruct the prehistory of the group, that is to say, how they meet, what their collaborations in the literary field are, and their first journalist attempt when being in charge of the publication «Setmana Catalanista». In chapter III .«JOVENTUT» (1900-1906): DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION («JOVENTUT» (1900-1906): DESCRIPCIO I FUNCIONAMENT), we mention the beginnings of the weekly paper, the composition of the editors team and the collaborators; the general description of the publication; the reasons that the Editors claimed to put and end to the magazine; and the aspects related to their funding and their commercial policy. In chapter IV. THE LIBRARY JOVENTUT (1901-1914) (LA BIBLIOTECA JOVENTUT) we provide a general and complete description of the task carried out by the publishing house. In a second section, which includes chapters V to XI, we focus our attention on the analytic commentary, and corroborated with the current existing bibliography, of the different thematic fields that «Joventut» arranges its contents. In this way, in chapter V. THE DISCOURSE OF MODERNITY (EL DISCURS DE LA MODERNITAT), we analise, from a broad point of view, the three different domains that the weekly publication took into account in order to become updated: the construction of a liberal space and also a space of progress in the bosom of the plotical party Unio Catalanista, the rift from Spain and the introduction of some common features of the opening to Europe (feminism, a growing interest for science...). In chapter VI. THE LITERARY CREATION AND CRITICISM (LA CREACIO I LA CRITICA LITERARIES), we face a complex and eclectic literary scene, which we analise from a triple point of view, following a timeline: a) a study of the literature of the 19th century and the debate about the purpose of the Floral Games (Jocs Florals) in the early years of the 20th century; b) the reflex of the aesthetic eclecticism as a paradigm of the contemporary modernity, focusing on the analysis of literary genres and emphasizing, concerning poetry and prose, the specific study of the reception of works by Joan Maragall, Joaquim Ruyra and Victor Catala; and c) the reading of the Classics in «Joventut», in the convergence with the emerging Noucentism. In chapter VII. THE THEATRE CRITICISM (LA CRITICA TEATRAL), we undertake the study of this part of the publication, with Emili Tintorer as the one in charge of it and the one who evaluated the situation of the Catalan theatre, making proposals for the future so as to regenerate the Catalan scene and modernise it. He was also the responsible of the criticisms of the plays performed in Barcelona. In chapter VIII.THE MUSIC CRITICISM (LA CRÍTICA MUSICAL), we firstly examine the profile of the first and main responsible critic, Joaquim Pena, and we consider his judgements to this type of criticism and the level of contribution of the weekly publication to create and promote the Wagnerian Association; and, secondly, we deal with the development of the section of music criticism, after Pena left the team, when Jeroni Zanné and other collaborators took charge of this section of the publication. Similarly, in chapter IX. ART: CREATION AND CRITICISM (ART: CREACIÓ I CRÍTICA), we analise the task of the different artistic directors of the weekly publication (Alexandre de Riquer, Joan Brull i Sebastià Junyent, mainly), and we comment on the position of «Joventut» about the artistic modernism, the debates about art, catalanism and morals, and the defence of the ancient art and the heritage, among other issues. The next two parts concentrate on the linguistic field. In chapter X. THE DETERMINED BOOST TO ESPERANTO (EL DECIDIT IMPULS A L’ESPERANTO), we analyse the important job of dissemination that the publication undertook, from 1905 and at the hands of Frederic Pujulà i Vallès, in favour of the knowledge and use of this international language. And, finally, although it doesn’t belong to any section of the weekly paper as the previous ones, in chapter XI. «JOVENTUT» AND CATALAN («JOVENTUT» I LA LLENGUA CATALANA), we review the strong defence of the use of Catalan in all the fields and the different opinions and controversies around the normative language. After the compulsary chapters XII. CONCLUSIONS and XIII. REFERENCES (SELECCIÓ BIBLIOGRÀFICA), we conclude our study of the weekly publication «Joventut» with chapter XIV.
