Michael Moran's intellectual journey is a remarkable one. Starting from quite a narrow focus on industrial relations in the 1970s, he switched his main research interest to the politics of banking and to changes in financial regulation during the 1980s. In the 1990s he extended this interest in regulation to write about the emergence of the British regulatory state, which culminated in his major publication, The British Regulatory State: High Modernism and Hyper-Innovation (Moran 2003). After 2008 he turned his attention to the nature of contemporary capitalism and how it might be reformed. A subsidiary but important second theme was his broad interest in British politics, which led through various publications to a major single-authored textbook, Politics and Governance in the UK (Moran 2011), as well as the very successful co-authored text Politics UK (Jones et al. 1990) and what turned out to be his valedictory work, The End of British Politics? (Moran 2017).

Throughout his academic career Louis Cullen’s main research interest has been foreign trade - originally that of England, Ireland and France, but from the mid-1990s, his focus turned to Japanese history resulting in his critically acclaimed A history of Japan 1582–1941: Internal and External Worlds. Subsequently, he concentrated on the analysis of archival sources and of the problems they pose for the interpretation of Japanese history: papers on some of these themes and their associated statistical dimensions have appeared in Nichibunken’s Japan Review and are republished here together with a collection of other papers including interpreting Tokugawa history and the knowledge and the use of Japanese by the Dutch on Dejima island.

Lexical Structure

Abstract This work is based on the development of two comparable monolingual corpus works in Spanish and French, made up of articles from the electronic versions of two daily newspapers, El País and Le Monde (from January 1, 2007 to December 31, 2011). First, based on articles published in economic and financial section of El País, we identify terminological and phraseological units which include the word “crisis,” which we take as the verbal core of the main lexical structure of the corpus in Spanish. Second, we focus on the articles in the corpus in French, finding equivalents for these units. The study reveals three possible situations: Le Monde provides clear equivalents in context; it proposes unclear equivalent words in context; or it doesn’t provide any equivalents, which means translators must start from scratch. The main research interest is the range of proposed translations that are presented around a ubiquitous term in today’s press, which might be useful for both translators and translation students. Also noteworthy: the use of a monolingual corpus composed of original texts for finding translation equivalents, as opposed to translated texts more frequently found in traditional translation-oriented analysis.

Bruno Schulz

The reception of the works of Bruno Schulz in Italy has been growing wider and more diversified in the last few years. Among the examples of such a reception there are two essays by Paolo Caneppele: La Repubblica dei Sogni Bruno Schulz, Cinema e Arti Figurative tra Galizia e Vienna (The Republic of Dreams: Bruno Schulz, Cinema and Figurative Arts between Galicia and Vienna, 2004) and I Capelli della Cometa. Di Esseri in Fiamme, Catastrofi Varie e Donne in Bicicletta (The Hair of the Comet. Of Beings on Fire, Various Catastrophes and Women on the Bicycle, 2008). Caneppele, whose main research interest is in cinema, analyzes Schulz’s work through the lens of the visual, thus providing a theory according to which everything produced by him (prose and paintings) is influenced by the aspect of vision, color, and movement. The aim of this essay is not only to acknowledge this particular reception of Schulz in Italy (and in Austria as well, as Caneppele is the head of the film related material collection of the Austrian Film Museum in Vienna), but also to retrace the visual path embodying cinema, plastic arts, and fiction in his work, which is a strand of studies that can be furtherly expanded and explored.

Element Movement

The syntagm, Mondrian's "transdance" is a term with which the author wanted to symbolically indicate the main research interest presented in this paper, that is, the examination of how the basic stance, steps and movements in the Foxtrot and, implicitly, the main elements of jazz, i.e. melody, rhythm, harmony, are transposed into the particular visual compositions - Fox Trot A (1930) and Fox Trot B (1929). All of these particular art forms (dance, painting, and music), though very different in the aesthetical and poetical respect, are nevertheless connected with one essential element - movement, as a measure of both time and space. In this consideration of painting as a temporal, and not only a spatial object, the visual art discourse is influenced by the vocabulary of the art of music and of dance. Thus, this paper should be understood as the author's intimate observation of time-space transpositions (at the wider level), as well as the author's discussion about the latent (interdisciplinary) 'dialogue' which the painter, Piet Mondrian, aka "The Dancing Madonna", conducted with dance and music (in the strictest sense). This premise is explored from several aspects, but none of them deviates from the main methodological course, determined by the "interdisciplinary model of musicological competence" (Veselinović-Hofman).

The Uk

Since the global financial crisis, European governments have sought to intensify the supervision of financial markets. Yet, few studies have empirically examined whether regulatory approaches have systematically shifted in the aftermath of the crisis, and how these reforms have been mediated by longstanding national strategies to promote domestic financial interests in the European single market. Examining hundreds of enforcement actions in three key European jurisdictions, I find a mixed pattern of continuity and change in the aftermath of the crisis. In the UK, aggregate monetary penalties and criminal sanctions have skyrocketed since 2009, while in France and Germany, the enforcement pattern suggests continuity, with both countries assessing penalties and prosecuting insider trading at similar rates before and after the crisis. I conclude that financial regulation is still structured by longstanding industrial strategies (Story and Walter, 1997), but where pre-existing regulatory approaches were seen as contributing to the crisis, a broader regulatory overhaul has been pursued. Thus, in the UK, where the financial crisis served as a direct rebuke to the country’s “light touch” regulation, financial supervision was overhauled, and monetary sanctions dramatically increased, to preserve London’s status as an international financial centre. By contrast, in France and Germany, where domestic regulatory systems were implicated by the financial crisis, domestic securities supervision and enforcement was less dramatically altered. While the crisis has led to the further institutionalization of European-level supervisory institutions, these changes have not yet led to convergence in national regulatory approaches.   Full text available at: https://doi.org/10.22215/rera.v12i1.1233

This article addresses the challenge to make printed hidden collections known quickly without sacrificing ultimate quality. It takes as its starting point the archival mantra ‘More product, less process’ and explores its application to printed books, mindful of projects in the United States to catalogue 19th- and 20th-century printed books quickly and cheaply with the help of OCLC. A problem is lack of time or managerial inclination ever to return to ‘quick and dirty’ imports. This article is a case study concerning a collection of 18th-century English imprints, the Graveley Parish Library, at Senate House Library, University of London. Faced with the need to provide metadata as quickly as possible for digitisation purposes, Senate House Library decided, in contrast to its normal treatment of early printed books, to download records from the English Short Title Catalogue and amend them only very minimally before releasing them for public view, and to do this work from catalogue cards rather than the books themselves. The article describes the Graveley Parish collection, the project method’s rationale, and the advantages and disadvantages of sourcing the English Short Title Catalogue for metadata. It discusses the drawbacks of retrospective conversion (cataloguing from cards, not books): insufficient detail in some cases to identify the relevant book, and ignorance of the copy-specific elements of books which can constitute the main research interest. The method is compared against cataloguing similar books from photocopies of title pages, and retrospective conversion using English Short Title Catalogue is compared against retrospective conversion of early printed Continental books from cards using Library Hub Discover or OCLC. The control groups show our method’s effectiveness. The project succeeded by producing records fast that fulfilled their immediate purpose and simultaneously would obviously require revisiting. The uniform nature of the collection enabled the saving of time through global changes.
