Every good humanities journal emerges from and is produced by a specific scientific community that shapes its content and its style.Central European History(CEH) is no exception. For me, i.e., a French historian of Germany teaching at a Swiss university in Geneva,CEHisthejournal to read in order to follow the more recent and innovative English-language scholarship on the history of Germany and German-speaking countries. Most of the articles published in the journal are written by historians based in the United States or in the United Kingdom (and its dominions), and most of the books that are reviewed originate from the same community, with the notable exception of ones by German authors.

History Of

This chapter discusses the issue of belonging. It first focuses on citizenship, which is often described as formal belonging. While citizenship is regularly framed as ‘natural’ and ‘common sense’, it is argued that it is never fully stable or secure. This is shown in practice through the example of the United Kingdom and Ireland, specifically, how the Brexit vote has had knock-on consequences for how citizenship and belonging is being re-imagined in both places. This is contrasted with the practice of citizenship in the United States, where, despite effusive expressions of unity, articulations of belonging have a deep history of division and exclusion. It considers both the barriers to formal belonging experienced by undocumented residents of the United States and the ways in which citizens themselves struggle to achieve inclusion and equality in the face of increasingly explicit intolerance.

Language Of Publication

The volumes of this series are published for the greater part by Inter Documentation Company AG, Switzerland (IDC). They are all of the same format and contain a general introduction in English, French, and, if necessary, in the language of publication. It is stated in this introduction that the volumes for Belgium, The United Kingdom and the United States will appear separately. This also holds for the Netherlands (see below: ROESSINGH and VISSER, forthcoming). Except for the United States and the United Kingdom volumes, which list documents relating to the whole continent, the guide only takes into account sources relating to Africa south of the Sahara, from Mauritania and Sudan to the Cape of Good Hope and including Madagascar and the off-shore islands (see also below: the Inventory ed. by C.Giglio).

Literary Agent

This chapter describes the widespread foreign interest in Nathalie Sarraute's work after “The Planetarium” was published, including contracts for translation and invitations to give talks and lectures. It highlights Nathalie's distinctive profile on the English language and to Maria Jolas's links with publishers in the United States and the United Kingdom. It also mentions Nathalie's acquisition of a literary agent in the United States, Renée Spodheim, who reported that enquiries about a translation of “Portrait of an Unknown Man” had come from the London publisher, Peter Owen, and from George Braziller in the United States. The chapter details Nathalie's tour of the United States, where she was treated like royalty and taken to the best restaurants. It discloses Nathalie's enthusiasm for the United States, in which she made thirteen further visits over the course of the next thirty years.

Phases Of Development

In this article, we revisit the history of accounting for goodwill in the United Kingdom, the United States, France, and Japan following the conclusions and predictions of Ding, Richard and Stolowy (2008). We aim at verifying whether the four phases of development of the accounting for goodwill between 1880 and 2005 are actually determined by the global change from a stakeholder model of corporate governance to a shareholder model. An extended time frame of analysis (until 2016) is considered in this study, which includes Japan among the country-specific accounting systems investigated. Our findings do not support Ding et al.’s predictions for Japan and demonstrate a disagreement between those countries which consider goodwill as a depleting asset and those which consider goodwill as a permanent asset. This observation might explain better the current debate concerning international harmonization on goodwill.

History Of

The Institute of Navigation was born on 12 March 1947 in the Boardroom of Lloyds Register of Shipping. More will be said of this later, but the birth is well documented and defined.It will surprise no one that the conception is much less easily defined, but it is certainly no less significant a part of the genesis of the Institute. This article is an attempt to outline the early history of the Institute.During 1944 and 1945 an Institute of Navigation was formed in the United States and, in May 1945, it held its first Annual General Meeting with Professor Sam Herrick — a well-known American astronomer — as its Executive Secretary. Its meetings were attended by the Navigation Specialist on the British Air Commission in Washington (Squadron Leader D. O. Fraser) and duly reported back, through the Commission, to the Air Ministry in the United Kingdom.

The political satire boom in the United States and the United Kingdom experienced a brief, albeit notorious success on British and American television, most notably represented by That Was The Week That Was. In the United States, the satire boom largely evaporated with the assassination of President Kennedy. This article examines the transatlantic history of this iconic programme during the Kennedy years and how that transatlantic exchange manifested in the midst of the immediate aftermath of Kennedy’s death with the British satirists’ hastily produced tribute episode a day after the American president’s assassination, its broadcast on NBC twice in the days following the assassination, and the Anglophilic response by American audiences to the programme in voluminous letters sent to the BBC.
