History Of

Adam Tooze's Crashed is arguably the first historical narrative of the financial crisis. It is an ambitious account of the crisis and its global economic, financial, political, and geopolitical causes and implications. Crashed is organized chronologically in four parts—the “Gathering Storm,” “The Global Crisis,” “Eurozone,” and “Aftershocks”—and focuses more on the macrolevel structures, processes, and decisions than on the microlevel and the people suffering from the crisis. Except, that is, in aggregate numbers and a few empathic comments such as this: “As house prices fell, equity dwindled, and the hardest hit slid into negative equity. Families scrambled to slash spending and pay down credit card and other short-term debt. The result was a smothering recession in consumer demand” (p. 143).

The book begins with a vignette of the world’s most famous—and most misunderstood—prohibitionist: the hatchet-wielding saloon smasher, Carrie Nation. A deeper investigation finds that she was anything but the Bible-thumping, conservative evangelical that she’s commonly made out to be; but rather a populist-progressive equal-rights crusader. Chapter 1 lays bare the shortcomings of the dominant historical narrative of temperance and prohibitionism as uniquely American developments resulting from a clash of religious and cultural groups. By examining the global history of prohibition, we can shed new light on the American experience. Answering the fundamental question—why prohibition?—this book argues that temperance was a global resistance movement against imperialism, subjugation, and the predatory capitalism of a liquor traffic in which political and economic elites profited handsomely from the addiction and misery of the people.

Future Growth

An historical narrative tracing the inception, evolution, structure, educational focus, integration with international Balint movements and challenges to future growth of the American Balint Society (ABS) is enlivened and deepened by twelve Balint autobiographies that follow it. The ABS in choosing to create its historical narrative is confronting a vitally important project both for its members, and for many healthcare educators and clinicians. Both are deeply invested in promoting and preserving the integrity of the personal relationship between the provider and the client. The Society is striving not only to understand its past, but to educate itself through a contextual awareness of how to preserve a personal education for future healthcare providers. To truly understand how the Balint enterprise emerged in the USA, one must “hear” from the people who experienced and wanted to share the transformative insights of participation in Balint seminars. To “hear” their stories and to honor the diversity of perspectives within the organization the authors asked ABS members with long and committed involvement to write their personal ”Balint Autobiographies.” These authors tell a collective, personal and professional story that is truly integral with an ABS narrative history. Readers may find, amidst their narratives, gems of insight and instruction about the Balint Seminar process, its leadership and possibly indications of where the ABS could head in the future. However, the real significance of the history of the ABS lies in its potency to stimulate critical reflection on the true purpose(s) of the Society, to elicit new and stronger personal incentives in ABS members, and to initiate challenging, inquiring, and supporting reverberations in the medical-educational-insurance-business-governmental subculture in which it participates.

scholarly journals The historical parallels between today's events in the Donbass and the pages of its past of hundred years ago, when this region was in the center of a fierce struggle between different political forces, social strata, and hostile groups are analyzed in this article. The main attention is focused on the investigation of attempts to create an anti-Ukrainian identity in the Donbass based on the use of prepared facts of events related to the history of the creation and short-term existence of the Donetsk-Kryvyi Rih Soviet Republic. It was determined that during almost the entire period of Ukraine’s independence in the Donbas, with the active participation of the Kremlin, Soviet and imperial interpretations of history were spread, ideas of a special regional identity were formed, and the ideological basis of anti-Ukrainian insinuations was created. At the same time, history was used as a kind of propaganda, and manipulation of the past. It was one of the main strategies of anti-Ukrainian forces in the Donbass. Stereotypes were instilled that this region is the territory of the formation of "novoros", "the people of Donbass", who have their own mentality and even traditions of statehood, unrelated to the history of Ukraine. All this became the ideological basis of the bloody events associated with the attempt to create in 2014 the so-called "people’s republics" in the territory of Donbass. Pseudo-referendums were held in this region, pseudo-independent republics headed by puppet governments, fully controlled by the Kremlin, were proclaimed like a hundred years ago, in order to restore imperial domination in Ukraine, according to the experience of the Bolsheviks. On the example of historical parallels of personal destinies of people who are forced one way or another to lead regional separatist movements or become puppets in the hands of external puppeteers by the revolutionary events of both a hundred years ago and today. It is reminded of the inadmissibility of ignoring the laws of historical development.

This article describes an Arts Council England project, undertaken by the author and a photographer, to examine spatial and temporal relations between an art project, its subject and its audience. The project explored and documented the architecture of a modernist 1970s housing estate, Netherfield, designed by a group of four architects for the new city of Milton Keynes. The estate has not aged well and the visual remnants of what had been an ambitious and idiosyncratic housing scheme were to be photographed and juxtaposed with the original architectural drawings. The photographic process contributed to a more complex series of perspectives which included the archival history of the estate and its surrounding new city, the people who live there and my own reflections on a council estate childhood. In turn, these perspectives are set out in this article in terms of the spatial and temporal realms in which they are, and continue to be, produced. Loosely conceived in terms of Lefebvre’s production of space triad, these realms are traced through the estate’s historical narrative from plans to buildings which then converge in the eventual art work. The gallery is seen as an assemblage of multiple connections drawn between various productions of archival, architectural and artistic spaces.

History Of

Pontianak with the diversity of the people who live in it and its unique culture is an area that has its own da'wah challenges. Historically, the Pontianak Sultanate was founded in 1778 led by Syarif Abdurrahman Al-Kadri, who in 1777 was assisted by Raja Haji from Riau. Attended by the Sultans and additions from Landang, Simpang, Sukadana, Malay and Mempawah, Raja Haji appointed and crowned Syarif Abdurrahman al-Kadri as Sultan of the Pontianak sultanate. After Sultan Syarif Abdurrahman AI-Kadri died in 1808 AD, successively a number of his descendant sultans came to power in the Pontianak Sultanate. The history of the Pontianak Sultanate is indeed synonymous with da'wah, struggle and sacrifice. According to the 9th Sultan of Pontianak, Syarif Abu Bakar al-Kadrie, the purpose of the establishment of the Pontianak sultanate was to strengthen the da'wah of Islamiyah. The challenges and obstacles that are felt now in the development of Islamic da'wah include the ambition of Christians in spreading their religious mission in West Kalimantan, this can be seen from several facts including, related to the Christian mission in Indonesia which is centered in Kalimantan and makes Kalimantan and Pontianak as pilot projects. short-term Christianity (2003). As for overcoming it, various Islamic da'wah strategies are needed, including: upholding ukhuwah Islamiyah; maintain the unity and integrity of the people; Cooperating in building among the Muslims themselves; Strengthening religious education in the family; Get used to being good.   Pontianak dengan kemajemukan masyarakat yang tinggal di dalamnya dan keunikan budayanya merupakan wilayah yang mempunyai tantangan dakwah tersendiri. Dalam sejarahnya, Kesultanan Pontianak berdiri tahun 1778 dipimpin oleh Syarif Abdurrahman Al-Kadri, yang pada tahun 1777 dengan dibantu Raja Haji dari Riau. Dihadiri oleh para Sultan dan penambahan dari Landang, Simpang, Sukadana, Malay dan Mempawah, Raja Haji mengangkat dan menobatkan Syarif Abdurrahman al-Kadri menjadi Sultan dari kesultanan Pontianak. Setelah Sultan Syarif Abdurrahman AI-Kadri wafat tahun 1808 M, berturut-turut sejumlah sultan keturunannya berkuasa di Kesultanan Pontianak. Sejarah Kesultanan Pontianak memang identik dengan dakwah, perjuangan dan pengorbanan. Tujuan didirikannya kesultanan Pontianak sendiri, menurut Sultan Pontianak ke-9 Syarif Abu Bakar al-Kadrie, tidak lain untuk meneguhkan dakwah Islamiyah. Adapun tantangan maupun hambatan dirasakan sekarang di dalam pengembangan dakwah Islam diantaranya adalah ambisi Umat Kristiani dalam menyebarkan misi agamanya di Kalimantan Barat, hal itu terlihat dari beberapa fakta diantaranya, terkait misi Kristen di Indonesia yang dipusatkan di Kalimantan dan menjadikan Kalimantan, dan Pontianak sebagai pilot project kristenisasi jangka pendek (2003).  Adapun untuk mengatasinya diperlukan beragam strategi dakwah Islam diantaranta adalah : menjunjung tinggi ukhuwah Islamiyah; menjaga persatuan dan kesatuan umat; Bekerjasama dalam membangun antar umat Islam sendiri; Menguatkan Pendidikan agama dalam keluarga; Membiasakan diri dalam kebaikan.

The author focuses on the issues of the scholarly thinking devel- opment and the current historical narrative amid radical change, studied into through E. Kozhokin’s Revolution and Overcoming It. Essays on the History of the Russian Mentality. The study under review holds a unique position among the new works devoted to the Russian history at the turn of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, according to the author. She stresses that Evgeny Kozhokin avoids to describe in detail the events of the monumental transfor- mations caused by the First World War and the 1917 revolution, opting to focus instead on the mental aspects of the behaviour and actions of the people who influenced those events. The author also points out that Evgeny Kozhokin uses a dialogical approach to history, under which national, political, historical and cultural identities are unfolded and shown as a dialogue between the past and the present. E.M. Kozhokin aims at both studying existential cognition of the Russian mentality and developing such algorithms of the state governance as would allow for reshaping political culture and avoiding potential revolu- tions in the future.

AbstractSeveral kampong in the Surabaya city are currently used as tourist destinations, by offering the uniqueness of the kampong. One of the kampong that has succeeded in becoming a tourist destination is Kampung Maspati, which is located in the city center. The ancientness of the kampong is offered to tourists so they are interested in visiting it. One of the weaknesses, Kampung Maspati does not have a historical narrative that explains the development of the kampong from the past until now. The Department of History, Faculty of Humanties, Universitas Airlangga organizes community service activities to assist in writing village history, o increase the promotion of kampong tourism. This paper was written in reference to these activities. The methods used to explain are field work, in-depth interviews, the use of library collections, and assitances. The findings obtained from these activities are that the understanding of the people of Kampung Maspati on the history of the kampung is still not good, so that continuous assistance is needed. This kind of activities also needs to be extended to others kampong because currently there are still many historic kampong in the Surabaya city that do not yet have historical narratives. This activity needs to be done so that the promotion of kampong tourism can be improved.Keyword: kampong tourism, promotion, Maspati, SurabayaAbstrakBeberapa kampung di kota Surabaya saat ini dijadikan sebagai tujuan wisata, dengan menawarkan keunikan yang ada di kampung tersebut. Salah satu kampung yang berhasil menjadi tujuan wisata adalah Kampung Maspati yang terletak di pusat kota. Kekunoan kampung ditawarkan kepada wisatawan sehingga mereka tertarik untuk mengunjunginya. Salah satu kelemahan, Kampung Maspati tidak memiliki narasi sejarah yang menjelaskan perkembangan kampung sejak dulu sampai sekarang. Departemen Ilmu Sejarah Fakultas Ilmu Budaya Universitas Airlangga menyelengarakan  kegiatan pengabdian masyarakat pendampingan menulis sejarah kampung, untuk meningkatkan promosi wisata kampung. Makalah ini ditulis mengacu kepada  kegiatan tersebut. Metode yang digunakan untuk menjelaskan adalah kerja lapangan, wawancara mendalam,  penggunaan koleksi pustaka, dan pendampingan.Temuan yang diperolah dari kegiatan tersebut bahwa pemahaman masyarakat Kampung Maspati terhadap sejarah kampung masih kurang sehingga perlu dilakukan pendampingan secara berkesinambungan. Kegiatan semacam ini juga perlu diperluas ke kampung lain karena saat ini masih banyak kampung bersejarah di Kota Surabaya yang belum memiliki narasi sejarah. Kegiatan itu perlu dilakukan agar promosi wisata kampung bisa ditingkatkan.Kata kunci: wisata kampung, promosi, Maspati, Surabaya

Alternative Regime

Throughout almost the entire history of democracy—from pre-Socratic Greece up to the second half of the twentieth century—its champions faced little difficulty in identifying its enemies. Critics of democracy consistently lined up to attack it on ideological and philosophical grounds. The litany of complaints was familiar: Democracy is an ignorant, unreliable, unstable form of rule; putting power in the hands of the people entrusts decision-making to those who are incapable of making the right decisions, either because of their natural incapacity or because social arrangements have denuded them of their ability to know what they are doing; democratic politicians pander to the masses, and the masses reward them for it; democracies choose short-term gratification over long-term solutions and eventually pay the price. These charges were invariably accompanied by the promise of something better, the assumption being that almost any alternative regime would be an improvement on the inadequacies of democracy.

This article is a critical translation of the “History of the Ardalānids.” In doing so, it hopes to make available to a wider academic audience this invaluable source on the study of Iranian Kurdistan during the early modern period. While a number of important texts pertaining to the Kurds during this era, most notably the writings of the Ottoman traveler Evliya Chalabi, focus primarily on Ottoman Kurdistan, this piece in contrast puts Iranian Kurdistan in general and the Ardalān dynasty in particular at the center of its historical narrative. Thus it will be of interest not only to scholars of Kurdish history but also to those seeking more generally to research life on the frontiers of empires.Keywords: Ẕayl; Ardalān; Kurdistan; Iran.ABSTRACT IN KURMANJIDîroka Erdelaniyan (1590-1810)Ev gotar wergereke rexneyî ya “Dîroka Erdelaniyan” e.
