Fontalvo, Luis C. "Hispanic Pentecostals in a Canadian Anglo-Franco Environment." Pneuma 14, no. 1 (1992): 73–79. http://dx.doi.org/10.1163/157007492x00069.

AbstractEDITOR'S NOTE: Luis C. Fontalvo, a Colombian, began to preach in his home-land, but several years ago he moved with his family to Canada, and there he found himself in an altogether different cultural, climatological and economic world, to which he had to adapt. Fontalvo, however, in contrast to most preachers who come from the Third to the First World, did not migrate to Canada in the company of fellow Colombian believers nor with the intention of establishing a Spanish-speaking church, but to preach in French to the people of the province of Quebec and in response to what he interpreted as a specific call. His work crystalized into what is now known as the Eglise des Apôtres de Jesus-Christ, with very different and farther-reaching results than he expected. His work and presence in Canada became an experiment that may, or may not, be repeated in another country or under different circumstances. It leaves open the question as to what will happen if and when the church he founded is totally integrated or if migration to Canada ceases in the future. Fontalvo's experience is simply one instance of the many things that are happening in countries like the United States and Canada, and even on European soil, to which Latin American Pentecostals arrive silently, learn to live many times surreptitiously or anonymously in the country of their choice, and do what is most natural to them: Share the gospel. The results may not be exactly what the preacher expected, they may be as new as a "hybrid" church, as it happened to Montalvo. These hybrid churches may well become the trend of the future in some of the First World cities. Although Montalvo does not say so, the implicit lesson is that the preacher is the key to success and has to begin by becoming a polyglot and not simply the monolingual head of the operation who thinks that one language is enough either for the preacher or for a situation as that described in this article.

The Library of the University of Zimbabwe is by far the largest research and the only academic library in the country. From its tiny beginnings in the original Baker Avenue (City Centre) premises, the Library has progressed through the temporary tenancy, first of lecture rooms in the Faculty of Arts block and then, for some time occupied the basement areas in the same block. It was not until 29th February 1960, when the Library achieved the occupation of the present building constructed specifically to house it. The Library building was built from a grant given by the Anglo-American Corporation, the Rhodesian Selection Trust and the British South African Company. The foundation stone was laid on 18 September 1958 by the late Lord Robins of Chelsea. It was designed to house 350,000 volumes and to seat 500 readers in two large reading rooms and five stack floors. It also had 26 private study carrels and a micro reader room.

Full textAbstract:
In this article Dr. Jones traces the history of the Gramophone Company—an early British multinational—between 1898 and 1931. Drawing on hitherto untapped archival sources, he provides a detailed narrative of the firm's history while at the same time placing it within the context of British multinational expansion as a whole. Of particular interest is his discussion of the firm's “special relationship” with the American-based Victor Company—a relationship that demonstrates how restrictive international agreements could affect the dynamics of multinational growth.

AbstractThis article compares and contrasts Chapter 11 of the US Bankruptcy Code with the UK administration procedure under the Insolvency and Enterprise Acts. It focuses in particular on who runs a company during the restructuring process—debtor-in-possession or management displacement in favour of an outside administrator. Various reasons have been given to explain the US/UK divergence in this respect including differences in entrepreneurial culture and differences in the lending markets in the two countries. The article suggests that the divergence cannot be reduced to a single factor but instead implicates a complex web of circumstances.

Full textAbstract:
From 1880 to 1930, Argentina received hundreds of millions of pounds of British investments, making it in an economic sense a British dominion. The world economic crisis of the 1930s forced both Britain and Argentina t o reconsider many of these economic ties. The changing Anglo-Argentine relationship is reflected in the complex relations between a British tramway company, the Anglo Argentine Tramways Co. Ltd., that operated in Buenos Aires and the Argentine national government between the onset of the Great Depression and the early 1960s. The Anglo, as the company was popularly known, was the main tramway concern diat offered public transportation and contributed to the urban development of a cosmopolitan Latin American metropolis until 1914. Second, the history of the company illustrates political and economic problems that plagued the links between foreign public utilities and the host government from the 1930s onwards. Third, since the Anglo belonged to SOFINA, a transnational holding company with worldwide investments in public transportation and electric power stations, our case study shows the limitations of Sofina's political power in Britain and Argentina.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractThat stockholders “own” the corporation and are its “members,” are assumptions deeply embedded in Anglo-American treatments of the business corporation. They are also principal supports of the policy of “shareholder primacy” and, in the United States, of the corporate claim to constitutional rights. This article critiques these assumptions, while also explaining why they took hold. Among several reasons for this, the primary explanation is to be found in the peculiar parentage of England's first major business corporation, the English East India Company (EIC). The EIC did not begin its life as a true business corporation, but as a cross between a guild (a form of member corporation) and a joint stock company (a form of partnership). In the transition to a unified business corporation, its stockholders inherited the monikers of “member” and “owner” from their guild and partner forebears. This mis-description set the legal mold for all subsequent Anglo-American treatments of stockholders.

Full textAbstract:
The Chautauqua Institution, founded in 1874 to train American Sunday school teachers, quickly developed programs aimed at encouraging a citizenry refined by Anglo-European, classical high culture and governed by Bible-centered Christian convictions. Avid Bible study, a walk-through model of biblical Palestine, smaller scale replicas of Jerusalem and the biblical Tabernacle, lectures and community rituals, costumed ‘Orientals’ enacting scenes of biblical life—these activities were central to Chautauqua's early identity. This essay explores how Chautauqua's realization of holy land in America embodied particular notions of the Bible, religious experience, cultural values, and ideologies of religion and national selfhood.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractThis article explores aspects of transatlantic culture through the career and works of the baritone, librettist and impresario Henri Drayton (1822–72). Using the published operas as well as reviews from period newspapers, the author retraces the events of the Philadelphia-born Drayton's professional life. Concentrating on the creative works, the author shows how Drayton went from playing stock roles at London's Drury Lane Theatre to collaborating with composers such as Joseph Duggan and Edward James Loder. With his wife, the soprano Susanna Lowe, Drayton performed in what he termed ‘drawing-room’ operas. Their popularity attracted the attention of visiting US impresario P. T. Barnum, who brought Drayton to New York in 1859. When his success in the USA was cut short by the outbreak of the Civil War, Drayton returned to London and created a one-man ‘entertainment’, Federals and Confederates. Spending what would be his final years as a member of the Richings English Opera Company, Drayton returned to New York in 1869.

Full textAbstract:
Agency cost analysis is a fundamental aspect of Anglo-American company law theory. Within the company three types are said to exist: director/shareholder, majority/ minority and firm/outside world. Whilst law is, doctrinally, consistent at mitigating the first of these (the paradigmatic corporate agency cost), it fails to mitigate the second. Several features of UK company law exacerbate this agency cost, which is felt most acutely in private companies. Ostensible protections for the minority fail to mitigate these issues. This raises questions for company law theory: should law provide additional minority protections, or do fundamental differences exist between categories of agency costs identified within the company?

Full textAbstract:
This article is devoted to understanding the essence of “The Great Game”, that is, the policy of containing the development of Russia by Anglo-Saxon elites and powers (dating back more than two centuries), representatives of Anglo-Saxon geopolitical thought. Perceiving Russia as the main obstacle to achieving its global geopolitical hegemony, Anglo-Saxon elites and powers actively waged large-scale diplomatic, economic, information wars and battles against Russia, military operations, conducted operations to organize coups d’etat and “revolutions”, trying to destroy Russia both by actions from outside and undermining it from within. Naturally, to justify this kind of policy, a certain ideological justification and information support was required, which were carried out in particular by English and American geopolitics. The author emphasizes that the ideological justification of the “Great Game” by Anglo-Saxon geopolitics began in the classical period of the development of geopolitics, a characteristic feature of which was the unlimited dominance of the ideas of geographical determinism, which interprets the entire course of the development of human civilization as fundamental geopolitical dualism – the confrontation between two different powerful types of human civilizations and states – the powers of the Sea (sea, colonial powers) and Land (continental, land powers). The author considers the geopolitical concepts of the founders of the American and English national schools of geopolitics – A.T. Mahan, J.H. McKinder, N. Spikeman, formulated the main ideas of Atlantism – the geopolitical theory and practice of the collective West, NATO member countries that assign a leading role in world history to maritime states and civilizations. Within the framework of the modern period of the development of Anglo-Saxon political thought (which is characterized by the development of geeconomic concepts and a civilizational approach), the author of the article analyzes the views of American globalist geopolitics – J. Kennan, G. Kissinger, F. Fukuyama, Zb. Brzezinski, S. Huntington, as well as one of the founders of the civilizational approach – the English historian A. Toynbee, as well as the concept of the “death of the West” P. Buchanan.

Full textAbstract:
This article examines the efforts of one British steel company to acquire knowledge about American industrial productivity in the first post-World War II decade. It argues that company information-gathering initiatives in this period were overshadowed by the work of the formal productivity missions of the Marshall Plan era. In particular, it compares the activities of the Steel Company of Wales with the Anglo-American Council on Productivity (AACP), whose iron and steel industry productivity team report was published in 1952. Based on evidence from its business records, this study shows that the Steel Company of Wales was undertaking its own international productivity investigations, which started earlier and were more extensive and differently focused from those of the AACP. It makes the case for viewing companies as active participants in the gathering and dissemination of productivity knowledge in Britain’s steel sector after 1945.

Full textAbstract:
The reform of the Russian civil legislation is far from being completed. A new wording of Chapter 4 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation is an important, but by no means final milestone of transformation of the civil legislation launched in the Russian Federation. The author considers reasons and legal consequences of enshrining in the legislation of companies’ classification into public and non-public, atypical versions of business entities (special-purpose company, joint-stock company of employees), identifies Russian corporate law development trends. Besides, the author demonstrates a negative influence of Anglo-American approaches to the Russian legal system, different understanding of basic legislative and doctrinal structures of the corporate law in continental and Anglo-American legal families. As a result, the author substantiates impossibility of isolated and chaotic adoption of legislative solutions from a foreign legal system built on different legal regulation principles. However, the articles makes a reservation stating that entrepreneurial corporations under Russian law should not be understood as a synonym of business entities, and the corporate law is not an element of contractual law, but a sub-branch of Russian civil law.

Full textAbstract:
While María Amparo Ruiz de Burton’s The Squatter and the Don: A Novel Descriptive of Contemporary Occurrences in California has been read as a contestation of Californio land dispossession, I assert that Anglo American colonization of time is central to the novel’s form and content. I historically locate the novel within transformations of time consciousness in the late nineteenth-century United States, produced by the advent of standard time and the dissemination of a colonial ideology based on sociological scales of development. The novel undermines colonizing ideas of time as empty, homogenous, and linear by situating Californios within multiple forms of time, and it exposes the way that Anglo American discourses of linear progressive time conceal practices of political and economic dispossession. The Squatter and the Don questions the possibility of justice within a linear time of economic development or judicial progress because neither economy nor law acts linearly in relation to colonized subjects. The novel’s multifarious temporality extends into the time of its recovery, when the text itself became a site of conflict for literary scholars looking to amend the historical erasure of Mexican Americans in the United States. In this way, Ruiz de Burton’s novel truly is “contemporary” in its joining of disparate temporalities as it navigates the Anglo American colonization of California.

Although the tradition of surveying and analyzing urban land uses for town planning purposes dates back to the 19th century, the evolution of survey methods has not been studied in detail. With the intention of filling this gap, the present article reviews the pertinent Anglo-American literature on survey methods, published from the beginning of the 20th century to date, and highlights the key contributions. Additionally, it proposes a periodization of the methodological evolution in three phases and identifies the main discussions developed on survey methodology, so as to provide a basis for more structured research on the subject matter.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractThis paper examines international developments in life insurance generally accepted accounting practice (GAAP) for policy valuation and profit recognition in four major Anglo-American markets—the U.K., Australia, the U.S.A. and Canada. Each valuation method examined has its advantages and disadvantages with respect to the needs of preparers and users of the annual corporate reports of life insurance companies. The paper documents that the statutory basis and U.S. GAAP are considered to have substantive deficiencies. In contrast, the U.K. accruals method, the Australian margin on services method and Canadian GAAP have much to commend them, particularly with regard to their flexibility to accommodate valuation adjustments for unexpected events. Nevertheless, from the preparers' point of view, the systems which would have to be developed to facilitate the U.K. accruals and Australian margin on services methods would be difficult and costly to implement. Profit reporting under Canadian GAAP is also sensitive to changes in actuarial reserving assumptions. The authors conclude that, since national preferences in actuarial and accounting practices are inevitable and because the product-market structures of life insurance markets are so distinctive, international harmonisation of life office GAAP is unlikely to occur for a very long time.

Full textAbstract:
Two British land companies, the Canada Company and the British American Land Company (BALC), were active during the nineteenth century in settling what are now Ontario and the Eastern Townships of Quebec. Both purchased large tracts of land from the British government, with two goals: to provide funds for the governors of Canada and to relieve Britain of its surplus population. The Canada Company worked closely with the government to meet these objectives, whereas BALC indulged in land speculation and made immigration a secondary priority. One was successful, and the other struggled throughout its existence. Their success or failure was the directresult of how well they dealt with both the changing economic climate and the British and Canadian political situation.

Unlike other renowned Spanish poets from the 1950s, my study tackles the significance of Rodríguez’s contribution to the translations of Eliot into Spanish by focusing on his initial reluctance to undertake the task and on the conceptual divergence he felt vis a vis the Anglo-American poet’s poetic principles."

Full textAbstract:
The existence of protectionism policy in Malaya and Borneo had been practised by the British specifically in the oil industry during colonialism. This policy was to prevent the largest American oil corporation, from dominating the oil market in Southeast Asia. The two British oil companies, the Anglo-Saxon Company and Shell Company in the early 20th century completed their business relationship with the Dutch oil company to control the oil industry in Southeast Asia. Oil producer colonies in Southeast Asia was solely granted oil supply through British oil company to prepare the outbreak of the First World War. This marked the height of British protectionism by providing continuous oil supply to the British Navy and expanding oil exports during the First World War. Later, PETRONAS adopted protectionism and monopoly strategies to increase equity ownership of Malays in the oil and mining industry.

Full textAbstract:
Californios, the Spanish-speaking natives and landed gentry of early California, perceived themselves as victims of Anglo-American repression after California's annexation in 1848. In Los Angeles, particularly between 1865 and 1890, the deterioration of the Californio families and their ultimate loss of land and status form a poignant narrative in the social history of the state. The three recognized racial designations that dominated the period were Mexican, Anglo, and Native Indian, but more recent studies reveal that the construction of Los Angeles' cultural and political identity during the 1800s also included other ethnic groups. However, the contributions and impact of prominent French Basques on the growth of Los Angeles are often excluded from the historiography. Remarkably, in the San Fernando Valley, wealthy French Basque rancheros lived as Californios and altered the established Californio profile. Unique among them was Miguel Leonis, a wealthy rancho owner who successfully existed as both a landed Californio and an Anglo encroacher.

Full textAbstract:
Learning outcomes The learning outcomes are as follows: to demonstrate the phenomenon of strategic inertia in organizations and the impact this has on the type of renewal process that is undertaken; to differentiate between environmental and organizational adaptation strategies and synergies; to apply practical steps of renewal by outlining the influential forces and distinct stages of the process; and to create a practical framework that organizations can use as a guideline for sensing and reacting to changes in the business environment. Case overview/synopsis The case study examines the strategic renewal processes of Anglo American Platinum (Amplats) for the period 2012–2019. Amplats is the world’s largest producer of platinum group metals (PGMs). Despite the adversarial business environment of the South African PGM mining industry, six years into its new strategy, the organization had emerged debt-free and was poised to be sustainable. This posed a unique dilemma in strategic decision-making, namely, how to maintain a strategic renewal process. Chris Griffith, CEO of Amplats, was about to retire, but realized that the organization had yet to fulfil its potential. The ambition of the organization was to redefine the industry benchmark for performance across multiple pillars of value for different stakeholders, and to become the most valued mining company by 2023. Set in 2019, the case invites students to look back at the symptoms of strategic inertia at the time of Griffith’s appointment as CEO, and to define the nature and stages of the renewal that the organization underwent. This will provide insights that will enable an examination of the application of a framework for continual strategic renewal.

Full textAbstract:
In his most recent work, The Coup: 1953, the CIA, and the Roots of ModernU. S.-Iranian Relations, Ervand Abrahamian (Distinguished Professor of Iranianand Middle Eastern History, Baruch College of the City University, NewYork) recounts a definitive moment of modern Iranian history that overshadowsIranian-American relations to this day. Drawing on a remarkable varietyof sources – accessible Iranian official documents, the Foreign Office andState Department files, memoirs and biographies, newspaper articles publishedduring the crisis, recent Persian-language books published in Iran, aCIA report leaked in 2000 known as “the Wilber document,” and two contemporaryoral history projects (the Iranian Oral History Project at HarvardUniversity and the Iranian Left history project in Berlin) – the author providesa detailed and thorough account of the 1953 coup.Challenging the dominant consensus among academicians and politicalanalysts that the coup transpired because of the Cold War rivalries betweenthe West and the Soviet Union, he locates it within the paradigms of the clashbetween an old imperialism and a burgeoning nationalism. He then traces itsorigins to Iran’s struggle to nationalize its oil industry and the Anglo-Americanalliance against this effort.The book is divided into four chapters. The first chapter, “Oil Nationalization,”narrates the history of Iran’s oil industry and various encounters betweenthe Anglo-Iranian Oil Company (AIOC) and the Iranians. The Anglo-Persian Oil Company (APOC), an English company founded in 1908 followingthe discovery of a large oil field in Masjed Soleiman in southern Iran, wasrenamed AIOC in 1935. AIOC gradually turned into a vital British asset andprovided its treasury with more than £24 million a year in taxes and £92 millionin foreign exchange in the first decades of the twentieth century ...

Abstract: This paper investigates the factors behind the failure of British efforts to cultivate significant amounts of American cotton in the Ottoman Empire to compensate for the supplies cut due to the American Civil War. The reports by British consuls on the subject sheds light on Ottoman labor markets, financial strains on Ottoman agricultural workers and land owners, difficulties posed by natural and climatic conditions, the challenges faced in the difficult Anglo-Ottoman partnership, and the extent of central Ottoman authority (especially in terms of the ability of imperial bureaucracy to co-opt or coerce regional elites) in the third decade of the Tanzimat Reforms. British communications also display the varying opinions among British officials of the Ottoman government, officials, population, and the status of the Tanzimat Reforms.

Full textAbstract:
In 1883 a company was formed in the Netherlands to buy agricultural land in the Transvaal for the establishment of Dutch farming colonies. As a result in 1884 a number of Dutch families settled on the farms Groot Suikerboschkop and Elandslaagte and established the town of Dullstroom at the foot of Suikerboschkop. Despite serious teething problems the town eventually developed and was granted municipal status in 1891. However, during the Anglo-Boer War it was almost completely destroyed and after the war few of the original inhabitants returned. Although the rebuilt town has almost no essential Dutch character the memory of the pioneers is still honoured.

Full textAbstract:
During the American Civil War, U.S. Marines rarely engaged in land operations and even more rarely conducted land-based or amphibious operations involving more than one company. The Marine Corps’ lackluster battlefield performance ashore during the Civil War is best understood by examining their poor organization in officer selection, recruiting and retention, ad hoc formations larger than company size, limited collective tactical training, and experience in large-scale ground combat. The focus of this study is on large-scale Marine land operations, involving battalion-size elements assembled on an ad hoc basis and led by either U.S. Navy officers or U.S. Army officers, to analyze Marines’ battlefield performance ashore.

Full textAbstract:
In attempting to apply the tort of trespass to chattels to the virtual world of the Internet, courts in the United States encountered a seemingly odd, yet significant doctrinal issue. While the traditional English action allowed for a claim without any showing of harm or damage (like it did for trespass to land), American (state) common law appeared to insist upon a showing of ‘actual damage to the chattel’ before the tort became actionable. This article undertakes a conceptual analysis of the tort of trespass to chattels, focusing on the difference between English and American common law on the requirement of actual damage. It then attempts to construct a theoretical argument for this doctrinal divergence, based on the vindicatory and corrective functions that the tort is presumed to perform and employs a transaction costs model from law and economics to rationalize the variance between the English and American versions of the tort. It concludes by noting that while there may indeed be efficiency gains to be had from the American version of the tort, the realization of the same may require greater certainty in the law's understanding of ‘damage’ and ‘harm’ than has been seen in the recent past.

Full textAbstract:
New Mexicans pride themselves on their ability to bridge multicultural divides. Part of what we are urged to understand as “enchanting” about the Land of Enchantment is its diverse cultural background. Native American, Hispano, and Anglo have existed side by side, at times with remarkable harmony and good will, for nearly two centuries. The Land of Enchantment is not altogether a fantasy. Many New Mexicans have shown an uncanny ability to bridge ethnic divides and find common ground in the interstices between cultures. The soil of New Mexico seems to be fertile ground indeed for producing cultural brokers. Margaret Connell Szasz admits that living in New Mexico makes her particularly attuned to the role of the cultural broker.

Full textAbstract:
If English and American constitutional thought rests on one shared foundation, it is the principle that executive power, in order to be legitimate, must be subject to law. In the thirteenth century, the English jurist Henry de Bracton declared that “the law makes the King”—rather than the King makes the law—and urged, “Let the King … bestow upon the law what the law bestows upon him, namely dominion and power, for there is no King where will rules and not law” (White 1908, 268). Bracton no doubt had in mind some of the recent provisions of the Magna Carta (1215), which provided a formal codification of this principle. The rebel barons who imposed the Magna Carta on King John were animated by a desire to limit arbitrary executive power, and, in Article 39, they secured a promise from the monarchy that “no free man shall be arrested or imprisoned, or disseised or outlawed or exiled or in any way victimised, neither will we attack him or send anyone to attack him, except by the lawful judgment of his peers or by the law of the land” (Turner 2003, 231). In the fourteenth century, Article 39 was redrafted by Parliament to apply not only to free men but also to any man “of whatever estate or condition he may be,” and this process of reinterpretation continued throughout the next several centuries as Parliament expanded “the Charter's special ‘liberties’ for the privileged classes to general guarantees of ‘liberty’ for all the king's subjects” (Turner 2003, 3).

Full textAbstract:
The aim of this paper is to reassess John Steinbeck’s presence and significance within American modernism by advancing a myth-critical reading of his early novel “To a God Unknown” (1933). Considering the interplay between this novel and the precedent literary tradition and other contextual aspects that might have influenced Steinbeck’s text, this study explores Steinbeck’s often disregarded novel as an eloquent demonstration of the malleability of myths characteristic of Anglo-American modernism. Taking myth-ritualism—the most prominent approach to myth at the time—as a critical prism to reappraise Steinbeck’s own reshaping of modernist aesthetics, this article examines recurrent frustrated and misguided ritual patterns along with the rewriting of flouted mythical motifs as a series of aesthetic choices that give shape and meaning to a state of stagnation common to the post-war American literary landscapes, but now exacerbated as it has finally spread, as a plague of perverse remythologization, to the Eden of the West.

Com a crise do fordismo urbano regulamentar, o mercado imobiliário voltou a ter um papel determinante no processo de coordenação social do uso do solo e de produção da estruturação intra-urbana. A mão inoxidável do mercado de solo está de volta. O trabalho apresenta uma leitura sobre a relação entre a produção da estrutura urbana e as formas de funcionamento dos mercados formais e informais de solo na América Latina. Propomos como hipótese que as cidades latino-americanas apresentam uma estrutura urbana particular quando comparada aos dois modelos tradicionais (cidade mediterrânea compacta e cidade anglo-difusa). O funcionamento do mercado de solo nas metrópoles latino-americanas produz simultaneamente uma estrutura urbana compacta e difusa. Essa estrutura urbana característica das grandes urbes latino-americanas nominamos “cidade COM-FUSA”.Palavras-chave: cidade informal; produção da estrutura urbana; mercado imobiliário informal e formal; mobilidade residencial. Abstract: With the crisis of regulatory urban Fordism, the real estate market has reemerged as a determining force in the social coordination process of land use and in the production of intra-urban structure. The steel hand of the market returned. This paper presents an analysis of the relation between the production of urban structure and the functioning modes of formal and informal land markets in Latin America. It proposes the hypothesis that, compared to the two traditional models: (compact mediterranean cities and the anglo saxon diffused cities), Latin American cities exhibit a particular urban structure. In these cities, the functioning of land markets produces simultaneously a compact and a diffused urban structure. This urban structure, characteristic of large Latin American cities, we designate as the "COM-FUSED" City. Keywords: informal and formal city; urban structure; informal and formal urban real estate; segregation; residential mobility.

Full textAbstract:
As Carey McWilliams notes in Southern California Country: An Island on the Land (1946), theatricality has persisted as a central tactic of empire in the U.S. borderlands—from the rituals Spanish missionaries used to attract Native Americans to the historical dramas of Anglo-American boosters. The early decades of the twentieth century saw a number of plays that, in the words of Chelsea K. Vaughn, “romanticized the Spanish and Mexican periods of California history before assigning them comfortably to the past.” These include John S. McGroarty’s The Mission Play (1912) and Garnet Holme’s adaptation of Ramona (1923) as well as his original drama The Mission Pageant of San Juan Capistrano (1924). Such dramas were anticipated by ceremonial pageants that took place at Mission Revival hotels throughout the early twentieth century—to wit, Governor Theodore Roosevelt’s visit to the 1899 Rough Riders Reunion at the Castañeda Hotel in Las Vegas, New Mexico, and President William Howard Taft’s 1909 Columbus Day sojourn at the Glenwood Mission Inn, in Riverside, California. Each of these “hospitality pageants” casts the visiting dignitary as a typological protagonist—the Anglo-American “antitype” of the Spanish “type” embodied in conquistadores and/or missionaries.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract: The increasing internationalisation of business also affects the work carried out by the legal teams involved in commercial transactions. In many cases, English is chosen as the contract language for (crossborder) transactions because, apart from the customary nature of the language, it is usually also the "smallest common denominator" between the parties to the transaction. However, in most cases also the Anglo-American contract structure is adopted, with the consequence that the contracts are very much customised for the respective transaction. Further, such contracts show a level of detail which bears no comparison with continental European legal practices. After a brief overview of the relevant statutory provisions of Austrian law on company purchase agreements, the article sets out the structure of share purchase agreements and international financing agreements and gives examples of standard clauses found in such agreements on the basis of the Anglo-American model. Although it would be sufficient under Austrian law to stipulate the basic terms of the agreement (essentialia negotii) such as the object of purchase and the purchase price, in practice also Austrian transaction agreements tend to provide their own system of legal consequences, as the provisions of Austrian law are often not a perfect match for company purchase agreements (share deals and asset deals). For instance, the warranty provisions in the existing Austrian Civil Code, which is 200 years old, were not drawn up with company purchase agreements in mind. In this regard, the answer to the legal question "which are the customary characteristics of a company" is highly disputed in Austria. If a contracting party wishes to avoid (subsequent) disputes as much as possible, the object of purchase and its characteristics should be described in detail in the purchase agreement. Furthermore, share purchase agreements often contain an extensive list of representations and warranties. On the one hand, these relate to the object of purchase - for instance, the unencumbered ownership of the shares to which the agreement relates (Ownership of the Shares). On the other hand, they relate to the target company itself - for instance, the correctness and lawfulness of the target company's balance sheet (Accounts, Accounting Records and Statutory Books - Compliance with GAAP and Laws, True and Fair View). In addition to extensive clauses on the liability of the seller, which is often restricted by means of Caps, Floors or statutes of limitations, such agreements also usually contain indemnifications and/or the obligation to hold the buyer harmless against certain risks (indemnities), such as environmental liability. Anglo-American standards have also gained extensive acceptance in financing agreements. For example, an Events of Default clause makes it possible for the lender to terminate a loan agreement with immediate effect if the borrower is in breach of contractual provisions (primarily, the breach of interest or repayment obligations or non-compliance with financial covenants). Also the transfer of costs to the borrower, which are incurred as a result of a change of law or more stringent requirements with respect to regulatory capital, has meanwhile become the market standard (Increased Costs clause).

Full textAbstract:
The impact of the strategies of multinational companies on the Dutch business system during the twentieth century is described in relation to two fi rms. The fi rst case examines the attitude of the Dutch (in this example, Anglo-Dutch) parent company Royal Dutch Shell toward its international subsidiaries. The second looks at the approach taken by the American company Sara Lee toward its Dutch subsidiary, Douwe Egberts. Until the 1980s, both companies were prepared to adjust their organizations to national traditions and ambitions. However, when these nationally based global fi rms came under pressure during that decade, both changed their organizational structures. Their actions can be seen both as responses to globalization and as attempts to advance that process by simultaneously building international institutions and changing elements of the national business system in the Netherlands.

Full textAbstract:
In 1931, Japan occupied Manchuria and seemed intent on conquering China. Because Japan was devoid of petroleum, planners turned to exploration in the Western Pacific. In China, mobilization for a military invasion and preparations for economic survival made control of petroleum supplies more urgent than ever. As Irvine H. Anderson reminds us in The Standard-Vacuum Oil Company and United States East Asian Policy, 1933-1941, Standard-Vacuum, Shell, and the Anglo-American diplomatic corps accelerated their close cooperation especially after Japan created monopolies of the economies of Manchuria and North China, which violated the traditional principles of American Open Door Policy. However, the American de facto embargo policy and the Japanese resolve to seize the necessary supplies in the Dutch Indies made it inevitable that American companies would become involved in the formulation and execution of American policy both before and after Pearl Harbor. Building on Anderson’s extraordinary research, this article focuses on the petroleum problem in China and the American response, especially of the State Department and Foreign Service officers, during 1937-45.

Full textAbstract:
““The Night the Good Ship Went Down”” examines three final meals served aboard White Star's Titanic in order to reveal a complicated story about Anglo-American relations and consumerism on the eve of World War I. This article challenges the theory that the ship was a neat microcosm of life on land, complete with insurmountable class barriers. Rather than replicating a strict hierarchical social structure, White Star's newest ship was designed to encourage a degree of social fluidity and upward mobility unprecedented for its time. The Titanic was in part American financier J. Pierpont Morgan's attempt to keep White Star competitive enough to crush its rival, the British-owned Cunard. Food and dining call attention to this alternative narrative of the Titanic's cultural and economic importance.

Full textAbstract:
"This essay tries to understand one shaping logic by which Anglo-American modernist poets distinguish themselves from their nineteenth century predecessors. Both William James and F.H. Bradley developed ways of thinking that did not divide experience into how subjects process objects. Instead there is, first, experience –an encounter with qualities of events. The mind imposes its interest either in experience, mainly mattering for the person, or for the state of the world it makes present. But for Eliot and the Modernists there was something beyond the person and so a call for impersonality as a potentially fuller, more immediate encounter with the world. Eliot’s concerns for immediate experience operate in The Waste Land primarily to shape how he treats events and voices. But by the end, he cannot but place interpretation against experience in regards to the Thunder. This prepares for Eliot’s separation of humanism from the ways faith requires direct experience."

Full textAbstract:
In 1921 New Mexicans approved a constitutional amendment that prohibited “aliens ineligible for citizenship” from owning land in the state. Reflecting the post-World War I nationalistic fervor and its racialization of “Americanism,” the amendment targeted the state’s tiny Japanese population, partly under pressure from institutions like the Farm Bureau, the American Legion, and even the Ku Klux Klan. While some Hispanos (or Nuevomexicanos) benefited by claiming an exclusionary “Spanish American” identity, others had worked alongside and intermarried with Japanese immigrants. Yet, although some predominantly Nuevomexicano counties rejected the amendment, many Nuevomexicanos joined with their Anglo neighbors to enact this discriminatory policy, ostensibly on the grounds of protecting the state from a huge influx of foreign farmers who would displace the state’s real citizens. The discriminatory language remained in the constitution until 2006.
