This article offers a case study of the relationship between early Southern Song literati and the chief councilor Qin Gui (1090-1155) through an analysis of Zheng Gangzhong’s (1088-1154) epistolary network. It shows how Zheng, deputy pacification commissioner of Sichuan between 1142 and 1147, attempted to build good rapport with the councilor’s associates through correspondence. As suggested, it was essential for heads of regional governments like Zheng Gangzhong, who was vulnerable to accusations of abuse of authority, to ingratiate themselves with senior officials surrounding Qin Gui if they wished to enjoy a stable career. This group of senior officials, despite being constantly in flux because of Qin Gui’s efforts to protect his leadership, facilitated Qin’s prolonged dominance by linking him to high-ranking officials like Zheng Gangzhong without exposing him to the charge of promoting factionalism.
Cet article propose une étude de cas sur les relations entre les lettrés du début des Song du Sud et le premier ministre Qin Gui (1090-1155) basée sur l’analyse du réseau épistolaire de Zheng Gangzhong (1088-1154). Il montre comment Zheng, vice-commissaire à la pacification au Sichuan de 1142 à 1147, s’efforçait d’établir par correspondance de bonnes relations avec les associés du premier ministre. Ainsi qu’il est suggéré, il était essentiel pour un chef de gouvernement régional comme Zheng, qui prêtait le flanc aux accusations d’abus d’autorité, d’être dans les bonnes grâces des fonctionnaires de haut rang entourant Qin Gui s’il voulait s’assurer une carrière stable. Bien qu’en renouvellement constant en raison des efforts de Qin Gui pour protéger son leadership, ce groupe de personnalités haut placées a aidé Qin à rester au pouvoir pendant de longues années en le liant à des hauts fonctionnaires comme Zheng Gangzhong, sans pour autant l’exposer à être dénoncé pour factionnalisme.

Musical Sounds

This article tries to determine how song sonically and musically helped negotiate Confucian and imperial ideals with its specific melodic and rhythmic phrases, structural-formal patterns, and distinctive tonal modes. It examines the case study of “Welcoming the Deities” and speculates that musical negotiations of political and cultural agendas work with participants' manipulation and recognition of distinctive and stylized musical sounds. A survey of the political and cultural realities of Southern Song China and the musical capital, Lin'an is presented. The article also introduces the sacrificial music of the Southern Song state and summarizes the performance history and reception of state sacrificial music.

The 1960S

AbstractUsing interviews with former militants and previously unpublished documents, this article traces the genesis and internal dynamics of the Ejército Revolucionario del Pueblo (People's Revolutionary Army, ERP) in El Salvador during the early years of its existence (1970–6). This period was marked by the inability of the ERP to maintain internal coherence or any consensus on revolutionary strategy, which led to a series of splits and internal fights over control of the organisation. The evidence marshalled in this case study sheds new light on the origins of the armed Salvadorean Left and thus contributes to a wider understanding of the processes of formation and internal dynamics of armed left-wing groups that emerged from the 1960s onwards in Latin America.

Abstract Culture shapes our basic sensory experience of the world. This is particularly striking in the study of religion and psychosis, where we and others have shown that cultural context determines both the structure and content of hallucination-like events. The cultural shaping of hallucinations may provide a rich case-study for linking cultural learning with emerging prediction-based models of perception.

Abstract Hoerl and McCormack demonstrate that although animals possess a sophisticated temporal updating system, there is no evidence that they also possess a temporal reasoning system. This important case study is directly related to the broader claim that although animals are manifestly capable of first-order (perceptually-based) relational reasoning, they lack the capacity for higher-order, role-based relational reasoning. We argue this distinction applies to all domains of cognition.

Abstract Sociocultural developmental psychology can drive new directions in gadgetry science. We use autobiographical memory, a compound capacity incorporating episodic memory, as a case study. Autobiographical memory emerges late in development, supported by interactions with parents. Intervention research highlights the causal influence of these interactions, whereas cross-cultural research demonstrates culturally determined diversity. Different patterns of inheritance are discussed.

Construction of plastic contact deformation maps on ceramics: a case study on aluminum nitride

Modern polishing, precision machining and microindentation techniques allow the processing and mechanical characterization of ceramics at nanometric scales and within entirely plastic deformation regimes. The mechanical response of most ceramics to such highly constrained contact is not predictable from macroscopic properties and the microstructural deformation patterns have proven difficult to characterize by the application of any individual technique. In this study, TEM techniques of contrast analysis and CBED are combined with stereographic analysis to construct a three-dimensional microstructure deformation map of the surface of a perfectly plastic microindentation on macroscopically brittle aluminum nitride.The bright field image in Figure 1 shows a lg Vickers microindentation contained within a single AlN grain far from any boundaries. High densities of dislocations are evident, particularly near facet edges but are not individually resolvable. The prominent bend contours also indicate the severity of plastic deformation. Figure 2 is a selected area diffraction pattern covering the entire indentation area.
