The Creation

Cities have led high civilization for so long that one can scarcely imagine one without the other. Yet it is not easy to delimit their place in the creation of values and the organizing power to implement them that constitute a developing civilization. They can be described in innumerable ways, for as is true also of small towns and villages each city has a unique personality. The existing literature leans either to extreme particularity of detail or to an unconvincing generality. The two articles that follow are the first of a series in which common general questions will be brought to bear on the rise of different types of city in different societies and on the conditions under which they play particular creative and organizing roles. Since three recent books have attempted large-scale comparison along these lines our own series had best open with an attempt to review their contributions.

The Chester Mysteries 1992 (Review Article), pp. 65–71: On page 67, paragraph 4, line 3 should read: “Of special mention are Allan Owens, in The Crucifixion,…” and not “Nicholas Harrison” (as incorrectly stated on the programme. The caption of photo 3 opposite page 68 is also incorrect and should read “Christ: Allan Owens”. Photo 1, opposite page 66, is not of The Creation (although costumes almost identical) but from Judas's Plot.

This paper explores contributions from autobiographical approaches to promote experiential and reflective learning. After a presentation on the development and current debates regarding Life History methodologies, I will present my proposal of educational autobiography, a tool rooted from the paradigm Histoires de vie en formation. Subsequently I will focus on genealogical trees as a process to enhance critique, reflection, and sociocultural analysis on history, society, culture, the family and learning. Life histories are useful for the creation of motivating learning processes, centered on the lives of students and favoring an integrating education of cognitive, emotional, and social dimensions.

This chapter explores the historical background behind the creation of this volume. We discuss the intellectual issues at the core of a foundational review article written in 2015 that provided the proximal inspiration for this book. These issues were explored in greater depth at a conference held in Tucson, Arizona, in September 2017, at which many of the authors of this volume came together to discuss basic science and clinical perspectives on memory, emotion, the interaction between the two and the mechanisms that lead to enduring change in different psychotherapy modalities. This introductory chapter briefly describes the organization of the book and highlights some of the key themes raised in each of the chapters.

Sense Of Identity

The dissolution of ideological identities that had seemed since the middle of this century fairly stable would appear to be one of the characteristics of our times. In place of the struggle between Capitalism and Communism, Samuel Huntingdon would wish to erect a more fragmented competition between civilizational blocs, bearing such labels as the Confucian East and the World of Islam. Yet even such an analysis seems already distinctly old-fashioned, imposing a questionable cultural stability on more labile phenomena. As an alternative Lionel Jensen suggests that the first of these labels, at any rate, is in no small measure the creation of early European observers, and that far from basking in any unproblematic sense of identity, some of the best minds of twentieth-century China actually expended much of their ink on a highly problematic search for the origins of an identifiable Confucian group in the early Chinese past.

Novel Coronavirus

The paper starts from the notion that the social capital of young persons is an essential part of their well-being and an individual's success in life and society. It presents ethnographic re-search of the role of urban and regional space as one of the factors relevant to the creation of young people’s social capital. The period of research is 2014-2020, until the beginning of the novel coronavirus pandemic in late February 2020. The principal research method is longitu-dinal ethnographic participant observation in a higher education setting in Sofia, comple-mented by semi-structured interviews and life histories of informants, gathered in informal settings, with members of the post-1980 generations. Informants were aged 19-36, of both genders, and all were known to the enquirer for periods ranging between two and seven years. Their socialization and education took place largely in post-Communist times. The ethno-graphic observation examines the geographical environment of students’ lives, as the space where life takes place is a key factor for the quality of youth people's lives and well-being. Their homes, hometowns, educational institution, leisure pursuits; their potential contacts with other cultures, and other factors which may have emerged during observation, and which may have contributed to the formation of students’ social circles and their attitudes towards civic life, have been examined.

This is how Nigel Everett describes Bantry House in his Irish Arts Review article of 2010. Overlooking Bantry Bay in West Cork the house enjoys one of the most favourable aspects of any of Ireland’s Big Houses (Figure 1). Everett’s words are a most apt description for the project of ennoblement envisioned by Richard White (1800-1868), 2nd Earl of Bantry, Lord Berehaven, and for the collection of art he amassed. As Berehaven travelled extensively he was often absent from Bantry. He visited the usual sites of the nineteenth century Grand Tour, also visiting Spain, Russia, the Baltics and Scandinavia. There were two activities he invariably participated in while travelling: sketching and collecting. The latter activity led to the creation of one of the most eclectic collections of art to grace an Irish home. Berehaven and his vision for Bantry House have not received sustained enquiry, which is a gap in ...

These words of the thirteenth-century Hungarian chronicler, Bishop Thomas of Spalato, are not untypical of many descriptions of the consequences of the creation of the Mongol nation (ulus) by Chinggis Khan in 1206 and the subsequent expansion of the Chinggisid Empire. They accord with the popular concept of the Mongol hordes, known by Europeans of the thirteenth century as the Tartars, and believed to be the descendants of Gog and Magog who had broken forth from behind the Alexandrian Iron Gates at Derbend to destroy European culture and Christianity.
