Brennan, Thomas. "Taverns in the Public Sphere in 18th-Century Paris." Contemporary Drug Problems 32, no. 1 (March 2005): 29–43. http://dx.doi.org/10.1177/009145090503200104.
Abstract:
The 18th-century Parisian tavern was public space that lay beyond the private spheres of home, family, or corporate identity. Taverns, like markets or roads, were without inherent order, so they required the ordering of public authority. For much of the old regime, taverns illustrate the public sphere in its subjection to public control. A second public sphere, found in the coffeehouses of Britain and the cafés of France, was a place of intellectual and social exchange that gradually challenged the royal monopoly on public issues. Yet taverns demonstrated the evolution of a third public sphere from a space monopolized by royal control to one in which the populace constituted a public with its own discursive practices and norms. In their increasingly autonomous use of taverns, the people of Paris were developing a model of behavior that extended to the political life of the city during the French Revolution.

Filliozat, Pierre-Sylvain. "L’inscription sanscrite de Lovek au Cambodge." Journal des savants 2, no. 1 (2020): 563–609. http://dx.doi.org/10.3406/jds.2020.6433.
Abstract:
L’inscription sanscrite dite de Lovek, lieu présumé de son origine, a pour objet de relater la donation d’une statue et d’un palanquin à un temple dans Dviradapura au Cambodge par Śaṃkara Paṇḍita, chapelain des trois grands rois du royaume khmer qui ont rempli presque tout le xie siècle de notre ère, Sūryavarman Ier (1002-1050), Udayā-dityavarman II (1050-1066), Harṣavarman III (1066-1080). L’acte de donation est formulé dans la dernière strophe du texte en sanscrit, puis en khmer dans un appendice énumérant toutes les donations pieuses faites par le donateur au cours de sa longue carrière de chapelain royal. Cela est précédé d’un long panégyrique du personnage et de sa famille, dont plusieurs membres de génération en génération au long de trois siècles (du ixe au xie), ont exercé d’importantes fonctions à la cour royale. La charge la plus haute, et la plus influente, parce que la plus proche du pouvoir, a été celle de guru, aussi appelé hotṛ ou purohita, maître dirigeant les rites royaux et conseiller personnel du roi. Il devait avoir une compétence dans trois domaines, pratique du rituel, érudition en langue, littérature et scolastique sanscrites, service du dharma, bon ordre en morale, droit et coutume profane et religieuse. Śaṃkara Paṇḍita fut le guru accompli dans les trois sphères. La conception théologique et l’ordonnan-cement du temple-montagne du Baphuon doivent lui être attribués aux côtés de Sūryavarman Ier et Udayādityavarman II. Il officia lors de la grande cérémonie d’installation d’un Liṅga d’or dans le sanctuaire sommital du Baphuon, qui est le second monument en taille, complexité et prestige après Angkor Vat. Ce texte est composé dans le style de la poésie savante sanscrite. Il est manifeste qu’une inscription sanscrite est composée au Cambodge, comme en Inde, avec égalité de méthode et d’esprit. Mais l’application des con-naissances issues des sources indiennes dans la pratique religieuse et dans les arts au Cambodge est manifestement khmère. Il n’en reste pas moins que la grandeur et la beauté de la conception, comme de la réalisation, sont également partagées entre la stèle inscrite et le monument. Une bonne approche des inscriptions sanscrites du pays khmer est sans conteste la confrontation du texte avec la discipline sanscrite de l’ornementation poétique (alaṃkāraśāstra) et la littérature religieuse tantrique de l’école du Śaivasiddhānta.

Koscak, Stephanie. "The Royal Sign and Visual Literacy in Eighteenth-Century London." Journal of British Studies 55, no. 1 (January 2016): 24–56. http://dx.doi.org/10.1017/jbr.2015.175.
Abstract:
AbstractThis article argues that the commercialization of monarchical culture is more complex than existing scholarship suggests. It explores the aesthetic dimensions of regal culture produced outside of the traditionally defined sphere of art and politics by focusing on the variety of royal images and symbols depicted on hanging signs in eighteenth-century London. Despite the overwhelming presence of kings and queens on signboards, few study these as a form of regal visual culture or seriously question the ways in which these everyday objects affected representations of royalty beyond asserting an unproblematic process of declension. Indeed, even in the Restoration and early eighteenth century, monarchical signs were the subject of criticism and debate. This article explains why this became the case, arguing that signs were criticized not because they were trivial commercial objects that cheapened royal charisma, but because they were overloaded with political meaning. They emblematized the failures of representation in the age of print and party politics by depicting the monarchy—the traditional center of representative stability—in ways that troubled interpretation and defied attempts to control the royal image. Nevertheless, regal images and objects circulating in urban spaces comprised a meaningful political-visual language that challenges largely accepted arguments about the aesthetic inadequacy and cultural unimportance of early eighteenth-century monarchy. Signs were part of an urban, graphic public sphere, used as objects of political debate, historical commemoration, and civic instruction.

Abstract:
Aujourd'hui, nous sommes plus conscients que jamais de l'importance d'une représentation égalitaire dans la sphère politique. Malgré les progrès réalisés, les femmes continuent de faire face à des obstacles dans leur ascension politique au Royaume-Uni. Dans ce travail, nous explorerons les blocages qui entravent cette avancée et les moyens de les surmonter, afin d'encourager une représentation plus juste et inclusive. La participation des femmes en politique est un sujet important à aborder, surtout au Royaume-Uni où les femmes ont longtemps été sous-représentées dans les sphères politiques. Les représentations sociales négatives à l’égard des femmes en politique ont longtemps été un obstacle majeur à leur ascension. Les femmes doivent encore faire face à des stéréotypes de genre qui les décrivent comme étant moins compétentes, moins capables de diriger et moins aptes à prendre des décisions difficiles. De plus, les femmes ont tendance à être sous-représentées dans les postes de pouvoir, ce qui rend leur ascension encore plus difficile. Cependant, grâce à la force du mouvement “Femme est pouvoir” et à l’utilisation des réseaux sociaux pour mobiliser les femmes, des opportunités se présentent pour les femmes dans le développement politique. Ces efforts pourraient être le début d’un avenir plus égalitaire pour les femmes en politique au Royaume-Un

Abstract:
A travers sa politique d’ouverture de la sphère de l’art pour l’édification de la nation tout entière, l’exposition annuelle de la Royal Academy, à ses débuts, se veut le heu privilégié de diffusion de la culture savante. Mais comme le montrent les représentations graphiques - officielles ou non - de cet événement culturel sans précédent, l’espace de l’exposition est en retour, et à son insu, perméable à diverses manifestations du populaire. Cet article analyse de telles représentations, autour de la célèbre estampe de Johann Heinrich Ramberg, The Exhibition of the Royal Academy, 1787 et de ses dérivés satiriques.

Abstract:
The view that the patriarchic system has dominated human life is untrue. Evidence has been found that, in the history of human civilization, women have been raised to the royal throne and ruled a kingdom. The existence of a queen has also been found in folklore in Indonesia. Using the qualitative research design with the perspectives of feminist literary criticism, the present study analyzes four folklore titles with a queen as the main character, such as: (1) The Legend of the Hermitage of Queen Kalinyamat, (2) Queen Kencanawungu, (3) Madam Undang Beautiful Queen from Kupang Island, and (4) The Legend of Princess Rengganis. Findings show no gender bias in the transfer of the royal inheritance or in choosing the successor of the royal throne in some kingdoms of regions in Indonesia. The crowning of a new ruler is more based on kinship and leadership qualities. This research also shows that before the emergence and development of feminism in the West, it has been existed in the archipelago, which can be called Indonesian feminism, i.e, feminism that gave women rights and voices not only in the domestic sphere but also in the public sphere, as a queen whose power was recognized.

Abstract:
This article explores an East Asian parallel to the “structural transformation” of the European public sphere and civil society by studying private academies and Confucian literati petitions in Chosŏn Korea from 1506 to 1800. During this period, the Confucian literati emerged as the new public and challenged royal authority, engaging in a broad range of public activities through the academies and petitions. Voluntaristic and nongovernmental connections of private academies reveal aspects of a nascent civil society, whereas the rational-critical nature of petitioning indicates the formation of the public sphere in Chosŏn Korea. This analysis demonstrates a close historical association between the evolution of private academies and the development of petitions. This historical interplay confirms Jürgen Habermas's thesis that the public sphere arises from civil society.

Bishop, Malcolm G. H. "The Athenæum Club, the Royal Society and the reform of dentistry in nineteenth-century Britain: A research report." Notes and Records: the Royal Society Journal of the History of Science 71, no. 1 (October 12, 2016): 61–70. http://dx.doi.org/10.1098/rsnr.2016.0006.
Abstract:
In 1978 M. J. Peterson examined the role played by the Royal College of Surgeons (RCS) in nineteenth-century dental reform, noting the establishment of its Licence in Dental Surgery (LDS) in 1859. In a paper published in Notes and Records in 2010, the present author described the influential role played by Fellows of the Royal Society during the nineteenth-century campaign for dental reform led by Sir John Tomes. Key players in this campaign, including the dentists Samuel Cartwright, Thomas Bell and James Salter, were, as well as being Fellows of the Royal Society, members of the Athenæum Club. The present research report indicates the roles played by those members of the Athenæum Club who were also Fellows of the Royal Society in the scientific and professional reform of nineteenth-century dentistry. Although it does not attempt to document meetings at the Club, it suggests the potential for a symbiotic effect between the Royal Society and the Athenæum. Where the previous paper proposed an active scientific role for the Royal Society in reforming dentistry, this paper presents the Athenæum as a significant extension of the sphere of influence into the cultural realm for those who did enjoy membership of both organizations.

Kiss, Endre. "Different Perspectives on Hegel-Mendelssohn-Relationship." Kaleidoscope history 13, no. 27 (2023): 291–97. http://dx.doi.org/10.17107/kh.2023.27.19.
Abstract:
In paragraph 157, Hegel describes in the Encyclopaedia the volume of the necessity, which represents a still inner and hidden identity which is "of those" that are considered as "real", the "self-sufficiency" of which should just be the necessity. While later Hegel describes the mutually independent realities (to repel something from themselves), he is (consciously or unconsciously) placed in a similar situation, in which Moses Mendelssohn comes in his essay written in 1763 for the Royal Academy of Sciences, while he is striving to build a rational metaphysics, a fully realized rational systematics. It is noteworthy, that in Mendelssohn's argumentation, the mathematical (geometrical and arithmetic) necessity (including the theological) can be on the way to cross over to the real. Mendelssohn's argument differs from Hegel's conception in important elements (amongst others, the language, linguistic usage, and the differences of conceptualities produced in the individual spheres, not to mention the relevance of the mathematical sphere). Still, the anti-empirical baseline can easily be brought in parallel with the same of Hegel. In his alleged strategical anti-Kantianism, Hegel might have found relevant help in many places in Mendelssohn.

Abstract:
Cette thèse a pour objet d’étude Nicolas de Fer (1647-1720) et la production de son atelier cartographique de la Sphère royale. Contemporain de Vincenzo Coronelli, cosmographe et fabricant des globes de Louis XIV, et de Guillaume Delisle, géographe-astronome lié à la famille Cassini, Nicolas de Fer est, jusqu’à présent, connu comme un simple éditeur de cartes, dépourvu de toute autorité savante, alors qu’il est le premier géographe en France à utiliser les données de l’Académie royale des sciences pour la fabrique de ses cartes. Il devient en outre le géographe du Dauphin (1689) et celui de géographe du roi d’Espagne (1702). L’étude des ressorts de l’articulation entre son activité d’éditeur et celle de géographe est au cœur de cette enquête. La thèse propose d’explorer la trajectoire de Nicolas de Fer à travers le fonctionnement de son atelier-boutique, la Sphère royale, qui représente l’un des principaux centres d’édition et du commerce de cartes dans la France du Grand Siècle. L’angle de l’atelier offre un cadre de travail particulièrement propice pour envisager les motifs de la constitution du double profil de Nicolas de Fer et pour éclairer le fonctionnement d’un lieu de production cartographique. À partir de ce lieu, il s’agit de saisir ses pratiques concrètes afin de les réinscrire dans le contexte social et économique, culturel et politique de la période. Ce travail repose sur l’articulation de trois niveaux d’analyse : l’étude d’une trajectoire biographique, d’un atelier et d’une abondante production géographique. La thèse se présente donc comme une contribution à l’histoire des savoirs géographiques, à l’histoire de l’estampe, et à l’histoire des sciences et des savoirs. Elle vise à restituer les modes de production et de vente de la Sphère royale pour éclairer en retour la connaissance du milieu parisien de la cartographie des XVIIe et XVIIIe sièclesThe purpose of this doctoral thesis is Nicolas de Fer (1647-1720) and the production of his cartographic workshop of the Sphère royale. A contemporary of Vincenzo Coronelli, cosmographer and maker of Louis XIV's globes, and of Guillaume Delisle, geographer-astronomer linked to the Cassini family, Nicolas de Fer is, until now, known as a simple map publisher, devoid of any scholarly authority, whereas he was the first geographer in France to use data from the Académie royale des sciences to make his maps. He also became geographer to the Dauphin (1689) and geographer to the King of Spain (1702). At the heart of this investigation is the study of the link between his activities as a publisher and as a geographer. The thesis explores Nicolas de Fer's career through the workings of his workshop-boutique, the Sphère royale, one of the main centers of map publishing and trade in France during the Grand Siècle. The perspective of the workshop offers a particularly propitious setting in which to consider the motives behind the creation of Nicolas de Fer's double profile, and to shed light on the workings of a cartographic production site. The aim is to use this place as a starting point to grasp its concrete practices, and to reintegrate them into the social, economic, cultural, and political context of the period. This work is based on the articulation of three levels of analysis: the study of a biographical trajectory, a workshop, and an abundant geographical production. The thesis is therefore a contribution to the history of geographical knowledge, the history of prints, and the history of science and knowledge. It aims to reconstruct the ways in which the Sphère Royale was produced and sold, to shed light on the Parisian cartographic milieu of the 17th and 18th centuries

Cunningham, David. "“To Guard a base ungrateful shore”: The British Navy in the Public Sphere, 1688-1742." Thesis, The University of Sydney, 2022. https://hdl.handle.net/2123/27419.
Abstract:
Between 1688 and 1742, the Royal Navy emerged as the largest navy in Europe. New bases, increasing logistical sophistication and consolidation of a professional officer corps saw the range of possible uses for the navy greatly expand. The wars of 1688-1713 witnessed the first long term deployments of large fleets to distant seas, where they were used in new strategies of strategic blockade and supporting major combined operations. After these wars, the navy was kept up in peacetime and used in new ways as an instrument of forceful diplomacy. The meaning of these developments was fiercely contested in the burgeoning public sphere that flourished after the Glorious Revolution. Competing ideas of what the navy should be were prosecuted through a vibrant print culture, which couched the navy’s role and nature within broader debates about Britain’s government and identity.
This thesis argues that representations of the navy in the public sphere fell into two loose but distinct and contrasting visions of seapower. An institutional model emerged to celebrate a modern standing navy for manifesting the power of the British fiscal-military state. Conversely, a redemptive critique came to reject these changes as encroachments upon British Liberties. Instead, it asserted that culturally appropriate naval power was best achieved by returning to the example of an imagined Elizabethan heyday. This thesis argues that these models partially overlapped with partisan politics. Incumbent governments tended to justify the navy with institutional rhetoric, while the redemptive model provided oppositions with a set of culturally resonant tools which were used to attack naval policy. This thesis places the rich scholarship on representations of the navy before 1688 and after 1739 in a longer context. It explores how institutional and redemptive models of representing the navy developed into potent cultural and political forces when mobilised in the public sphere.

Abstract:
The aim of this paper is to examine how the press describes the public and private role of the Swedish monarch in texts that report about the biography Carl XVI Gustaf – den motvillige monarken (Sjöberg et al. 2010) when it is published in November 2010. The examined period ranges between the days just before the release and a fortnight after. The analysis is limited to standard Swedish papers: a daily, Svenska Dagbladet, and an evening paper, Expressen. Questions asked in the study are: In what ways do the analysed texts raise a discussion about the monarchy’s importance or function in the society of today, that is a public debate on the monarchy? To what extension are status symbols used in the constructing of royalty, that is what Jürgen Habermas (2003) describes as representative publicity? What similarities and differences are found when comparing the news articles in the daily and in the evening paper? The method used to answer the aim and questions is the critical discourse analysis, as Norman Fairclough (1995) describes it, and the theoretical perspective of the essay is Jürgen Habermas’ (2003) theory about the bourgeois public sphere. The result shows that the news articles in the daily unsurprisingly construct only a public who wants to debate on the monarchy. The evening paper instead addresses its readers both as cultural consumers, which the study sees as representative publicity, and as civilians who want to discuss the monarchy’s importance or function of today’s society. Important to notice is that when the evening paper is challenging the monarchy it’s always made in an implicit manner. The public role of the monarch is in both the daily and the evening paper said to be powerful and his public role is said to influence his private role in different ways. It is also obvious that the focus in Expressen is upon the most intimate sphere of the privacy of the monarch. The description of the private room is important here, in addition the spatial portraying uses status symbols when constructing royalty. Finally, the analysis shows that the monarch simultaneously portrays both as an ordinary human being and as a very special person in exclusive surroundings. Earlier research has proved that Swedish media wants to describe royalty like this.

Zakaib, Susan Blue. "Bourbon reform and buen gusto at Mexico City's Royal Theater." Thesis, 2011. http://hdl.handle.net/2152/ETD-UT-2011-05-2688.
Abstract:
During the late eighteenth century, as part of a broader reform initiative commonly referred to as the “Bourbon reforms,” royal officials attempted to transform theatrical productions at Mexico City’s Real Coliseo (Royal Theater). Influenced by new intellectual trends in Spain, especially the neoclassical movement, reformers hoped that theater could serve as a school of virtue, rationality and good citizenship. This essay analyzes the theatrical reform effort, traces its foundations from sixteenth-century Spain to eighteenth-century Mexico, and seeks to explain why the initiative failed to transform either the Coliseo’s shows or its audience’s artistic predilections. It argues that the initiative was unsuccessful for three primary reasons. First, reformers did not have the power to compel impresarios and actors to obey their new regulations, and economic constraints sometimes forced officials to bend their strict aesthetic standards to appease the audience's largely baroque predilections. Second, Mexico City’s diverse and thriving public sphere made imposing a new popular culture profoundly difficult, especially given that reformers’ one-dimensional vision of neoclassicism failed to account for the variety and debate within this movement. Consequently, the theater added fuel to public debate over the definition of buen gusto (good taste), rather than merely instructing passive citizens as reformers had hoped. Finally, widespread public derision of the performing profession meant that many spectators did not take actors seriously as teachers of morality, taste and rationality. Actors’ reputation as immoral lowlifes, which derived in part from late-sixteenth century debates in Spain over morality and illusion in drama, complicated reformers' already difficult project of transforming the theater into a school of sociability and citizenship.text

Abstract:
According to Habermas, there were two incarnations of the “public,” or as the English translation renders it “public sphere,” under the Ancien Régime. The first arose during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, when the royal state gradually absorbed powers and rights previously exercised by semi-public corporations, localities, and individuals. This institutional reshuffling, in Habermas's view, entailed a fresh division between the “public” and “private” realms. “Public,” according to Habermas, came to mean state-related and denoted the sphere occupied by a “bureaucratic apparatus with regulated spheres of jurisdiction” that exerted “a monopoly over the legitimate use of coercion.” “Private,” by contrast, denoted the sphere occupied by those who held no office and were for that reason “excluded from any share in public authority.” Beginning in the late seventeenth century, Habermas argued, a second “public sphere” took shape “within the tension-charged field between state and society” According to Habermas, the social nature of this new “bourgeois public sphere” allowed for the public articulation of previously private bourgeois family values in public settings.

Abstract:
‘What do we really speak of when we speak of the modern ethno-national mindset and where shall we search for its roots?’ This is the central question of a book arguing that the periodic ceremonial intrusion into the everyday lives of people across the Ottoman Empire, which the annual royal birthday and accession-day celebrations constituted, had multiple, far-reaching, and largely unexplored consequences. On the one hand, it brought ordinary subjects into symbolic contact with the monarch and forged lasting vertical ties of loyalty to him, irrespective of language, location, creed or class. On the other hand, the rounds of royal celebration played a key role in the creation of new types of horizontal ties and ethnic group consciousness that crystallized into national movements, and, after the empire’s demise, national monarchies. The book discusses the themes of public space/sphere, the Tanzimat reforms, millet, modernity, nationalism, governmentality, and the modern state, among others. It offers a new, thirteen-point model of modern belonging based on the concept of ruler visibility.

Winkler, Emily A. The Challenge to Providence. Oxford University Press, 2017. http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/oso/9780198812388.003.0005.
Abstract:
John and Gaimar’s histories eschew explanation by Providence to focus more on short-term and earthly causes for events. For them, an English king has more causal responsibility than in their sources, but the sphere of his influence is less than it is for William and Henry. John and Gaimar tend to evaluate kings more based on their intentions and efforts than on the outcomes they achieve or on the scale of their successes. John’s history is a Latin monastic chronicle; Gaimar’s a poem in the vernacular, Anglo-Norman French: but the key similarities between John and Gaimar’s works show that the narrative phenomenon of royal responsibility is not a factor of genre or language.

Abstract:
This chapter discusses how Singaporean and Malayan cookbooks produced from 1880 to 2008 were intended to inculcate a racial and social hierarchy. A 1960s cookbook based on the Malayan school curriculum, for example, states that the text is intended to “foster and develop those natural attributes of good craftsmanship and artistry posed by all Malayans.” In the cooking of jam tarts, boiled potatoes, royal icing, coddled eggs, and scones, it seems that Malayan artistry had a clearly British framing. Through educational materials, the colonial authorities, followed by the Singaporean government, used the domestic sphere to establish specific gender and racial constructions; to make rules. Moreover, they sought to imagine, and thereby define, the nation in alignment with the agendas of the elites.

Abstract:
Goddess Lakṣmī, also called Śrī in early texts, is a goddess not only worshiped by Hindus as the source of wealth, domestic stability, and Viṣṇu’s beloved consort, but also venerated as an exemplar of virtuous womanhood, especially within the domestic sphere. Known in the earliest Hindu sacred texts as a provider deity and upholder of royal authority, Śrī/Lakṣmī is understood in Hindu theology as a manifestation of the primordial energy called śakti and thus a form of Devī, the Great Goddess. Her public worship rites are performed in autumn, most colorfully at Dīpāvalī (Diwali) or the festival of lights in many parts of India. She is worshiped more regularly on a weekly or even daily basis in many Hindu homes mainly by women.

Goodman, Nan. Evidentiary Cosmopolitanism. Oxford University Press, 2018. http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/oso/9780190642822.003.0005.
Abstract:
The late seventeenth century, known for its contributions to the scientific method, also saw shifts in the understanding of legal evidence, the most prominent of which charted a course away from faith-based claims about knowledge to claims based on eyewitness testimony. Less well-known was a shift in legal evidence from the local to the global or from circumscribed to cosmopolitan witnessing. When John Locke argued that knowledge was the result of human interactions with the external world, the category of what counted as knowledge became geopolitically extensive, opening itself up to “facts,” as they were understood in local and global contexts. This expansion of the sphere for available facts led to a preference for truths grounded in the facts of a larger world—in evidentiary cosmopolitanism—which emerges in the writings of the late seventeenth-century New England Puritans as the centerpiece of their argument against royal oppression and the loss of their charter.

Abstract:
This chapter explores the gendered practice and cultures of fieldwork through a critical examination of the life and work of the Irish Victorian natural scientist, Maude Delap (1866–1953). Drawing on previously unpublished primary sources such as field notebooks and other archival material from Delap’s scientific laboratory, the chapter offers a critical evaluation of the different registers of Delap’s ‘spaces’ in the study of natural history. In particular, it examines the interplay and crossover between private and public, between ‘inner’ spaces and the official spaces of the ‘built’ environment (from the domestic, laboratory, fieldwork, and international intellectual spheres), with regard to Delap’s contribution to Irish and European maritime cultures through her correspondence with various national and academic institutions, including the National Museum of Ireland, the Royal Irish Academy, and the University of London.

Abstract:
Deuteronomy reflects the attempt of northern Levites living in Judah to stabilize Israelite society in the face of accumulated social disruptions and growing tensions between the rural and royal spheres. In Deuteronomy’s vision, Israel is “made” through its fidelity to Moses’ teachings as preserved in text and entrusted to the people—but mediated through the Levites well beyond the esoteric depths of a temple. Flipping the common ancient Near Eastern script that saw such texts as the province of elite and exclusive priesthoods, Deuteronomy makes the textualized voice of YHWH accessible throughout the land, its presence marginalizing and expiating corrosive elements from within the community beholden to its contents. The Levite scribal construction of Deuteronomy becomes an expression of the divine warrior’s power, maintaining the crucible for Israel’s survival.

van Lint, Theo Maarten. From Reciting to Writing and Interpretation: Tendencies, Themes, and Demarcations of Armenian Historical Writing. Oxford University Press, 2018. http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/oso/9780199236428.003.0010.
Abstract:
This chapter details how Armenian historiography was closely tied to the spread and defense of Christianity in Armenia, which had been declared the state religion by King Trdat at around 314. Because Armenia had been within the Iranian cultural and religious orbit from Achaemenid times onwards, the emergence of a Western orientation promoted by the Armenian Church meant a categorical change in outlook, which would dominate its historiography. Often contested between powerful eastern and western neighbours, various royal dynasties reigned over Armenia, the last one — the Arsacid — being of Parthian origin and acceded to power in the first century AD. However, major religious conflicts, particularly between Mazdeism and Christianism, left a deep imprint on Armenian historiography, and have long prevented it from acknowledging the Iranian elements in the wider Armenian social and cultural spheres.

Abstract:
Abstract The idea was simply to get journalists and Indigenous people into better contact with each other, to promote excellence in the reporting of Indigenous issues, and to promote Aboriginal media organizations themselves. This seemed like something media academics might properly take on, since of course neither state nor federal governments could directly implement Royal Commission recommendations relating to private and editorially independent media.

Abstract:
Princely marriages are here seen as a key component in dynasty formation and dynasty securing. The marriages of the Danish royal house and three houses of the Empire are studied for the period c. 1530–1700. Most of them took place within what can be labelled a Scandinavian-German-Lutheran marriage sphere. It was a highly hierarchized sphere with little contact between top (royal and electoral houses) and bottom (comital houses). The will of a princely couple to let their offspring continue to lead their lives at an appropriate status level, or a higher if possible, together with confessional considerations, seems to explain more of the marriage pattern than purely political considerations.

Abstract:
Abstract On Tuesday, 2 October 1798, a crowd assembled at Tower Wharf to witness a salute in honor of Nelson ‘s just announced victory at the Battle of the Nile. Since military protocols dictated that the guns could not be fired until the royal standard had been raised, considerable delay was experienced as the stiff cloth of a ‘splendid new ‘ standard initially proved too difficult to hoist. The crowd became ‘very impatient ‘ until two men pressed forward and ‘inspired with joy at the news, eagerly ran up to the White Tower, and hoisted the flag themselves, giving three cheers, in which they were heartily joined by the populace, and then the cannon thundered forth! ‘ One of this pair was Samuel Dixon, a Common Councillor, and no stranger to the theatre of patriotism.

Abstract:
Despite his acknowledgement of women's contribution to constituency and electoral politics, James Vernon has suggested that by the 1830s women were marginalized from the public sphere and participated as observers rather than as agents in their own right. This chapter examines features of female citizenship through a different lens by focusing on their experience of the public sphere. It considers the public sphere of pressure-group campaigns, parliamentary elections, constituency celebrations, and royal visits. It argues that the gendered patterns of public conduct which typified gatherings of this nature had a significant impact upon women's experiences of politics and their own attitudes towards female citizenship. It also discusses ultra-Protestantism and two contrasting case studies, both drawn from the networks of liberal nonconformity: Lydia Becker and Priscilla McLaren.

Abstract:
Abstract Fierce Herukas, emitted by the supreme buddhas of the Vajrayāna “thunderbolt vehicle,” emerged toward the end of the first millennium CE to bolster Buddhist kings outside India with supernatural powers to defend their territory, repel their enemies, and bring peace. This movement applied politically what was prescribed in the major Tantra texts of the great Ganges Valley monasteries but was not implemented in India. The Tantras envisaged extending supramundane maṇḍalas over the royal landscape that were networked into holy sites. The Buddhists were thus replicating in maritime Asia the system of Vidyāpīṭha Śaivism in the Indian subcontinent, where Śaiva masters drew their support for kings from holy pilgrimage sites linked to Śiva. This article traces this royal rebirth of the Herukas to underpin imperial strategies in the mundane sphere in interstate confrontations along the southern coast of Asia.

Abstract:
Abstract During the 1670s Oldenburg’s correspondence was to increase yet more in density as also, very markedly, in complexity. To the Continental world of learning he was, even more than before, the leading figure in the Royal Society’s administration as we would call it, more dominant and more important than even its President, Lord Brouncker. Only strangers wrote to the President of the Royal Society in the first instance. Natural philosophers, physicians, learned men, and virtuosi nearly all had become accustomed to write directly to Oldenburg to tell him, and through him the Royal Society, what they and their compatriots were doing in their respective spheres. They all read or at least looked at his Philosophical Transactions as it appeared with gratifying regularity, even though most of it was still in English (the exceptions being mathematical and some medical papers). They also commented upon what they read and hoped to have these comments published.

Abstract:
This chapter follows the growth and development of the intellectual culture in the West after a period of decline roughly concurrent to that of the decline of the Roman Empire. It explores the intellectual reawakening of the Western world following the efforts of the clergyman Gerbert of Aurillac, who transmitted classical and Islamic learning and strove—through his innovative use of the abacus, celestial spheres, and armillary spheres of his own fabrication—to raise the level of learning of the mathematical sciences in the Latin West. Among his students was a generation of Catholic scholars who went on themselves to establish or to teach at cathedral schools and to influence educational reforms in royal courts throughout western Europe.

Abstract:
This paper aims to describe very briefly the Rolls-Royce 18 MW SMIC marine Spey gas turbine, the development of which was dealt with in more detail in reference 1, and then to show how intercooling and regeneration could be added to increase its power to about 22 MW, with an associated increase in thermal efficiency to about 43%. As the SM1C based “ICR” unit is still very much in the infancy of its design, this paper does not discuss the design in detail; indeed, the details are certainly not all within the Rolls-Royce design sphere, as the Allison Gas Turbine Division of General Motors Corporation and Garrett AiResearch are partners of Rolls-Royce Limited and Rolls-Royce Inc. in the project. The broad principles of the improved cycle are described and then the effects of the use of such a unit on the operational characteristics of warships are discussed, comparing them with those of warships using simple cycle Spey SM1C units in different installation configurations. This paper stands on its own, but may also be regarded as the second part of reference 1.

Abstract:
Being one of the most urbanized ethnic groups in Bessarabia, the majority of Russian population was engaged in professional activities. Th e article analyzes the specialized occupations of the Russian-speaking intellectuals from Kishinev when this region was a part of Royal Romania. Changes taken place in the labor market during this transitional historical period have transformed the formerly existing hierarchy of employment, moving the Russians from managerial and administrative structures to economic and cultural spheres of activity. Based on the materials that deal with the life trajectories of diff erent professional groups of intellectuals (offi cials, employees, lawyers, doctors, journalists, artists, etc.), the author reviews a less studied plot of adaptation of the Russian-speaking specialists to new political and socio-economic conditions, determining the ways and chances of their self-realization. Previous professions or the acquisition of new ones, able to realize the creative potential, could emphasize their signifi cance as the “owner of the profession” and allowed them to consistently maintain their habitual lifestyle and cultural traditions, contributing to social adaptation to the new reality.
