The gulf dividing the houses of ruling elites from those in use among the bulk of a population (here referred to as vernacular) is a phenomenon common to many cultures. It reflects the close correlation between the kind of house in which an individual lives and his social status. A grasp of the relationship, between elite and vernacular houses in societies where both exist enhances our understanding of the development of domestic architecture, and our appreciation of the wider historical significance of that development. This paper explores an aspect of the relationship between elite and vernacular houses in seventeenth-century Japan.

An unprecedented exploration of the relationship between the Mughal emperor and his subjects in the space of the Mughal empire’s capital, The King and The People overturns an axiomatic assumption in the history of premodern South Asia: that the urban masses were merely passive objects of rule and remained unable to express collective political aspirations until the coming of colonialism. Set in the Mughal capital of Shahjahanabad (Delhi) from its founding to Nadir Shah’s devastating invasion of 1739, this book instead shows how the trends and events in the second half of the seventeenth century inadvertently set the stage for the emergence of the people as actors in a regime which saw them only as the ruled.

В статье исследуется достаточно сложный вопрос об аутентичности, предназначении и богословии обширного генеалогического введения Книг Паралипоменон (Хроник). Обсуждается социально-историческое значение генеалогий израильских колен, а также рассматриваются сходства и различия между ними и другими библейскими генеалогиями, с одной стороны, и ближневосточными и древнегреческими - с другой. Кроме того, в статье выявляется композиция генеалогического раздела Хроник, построенная по принципу хиазма, посредством которого священный автор стремился донести ключевую богословскую идею как введения, так и произведения в целом: Божественный Замысел о человечестве и творении должен осуществиться через святость народа Божия. В итоге делается вывод о том, что Летописец стремился донести до своей аудитории (иудеев позднего персидского [Ахеменидского] периода) важное сообщение: несмотря на катастрофу разрушения и Вавилонский плен, взаимоотношения Яхве со Своим народом продолжаются, и Израиль по-прежнему призван реализовать в своей жизни некогда задуманный Богом в отношении всего человечества идеал святости. The article examines a rather complex issue of the authenticity, purpose and theology of the extensive genealogical introduction of the Chronicles. The socio-historical significance of the genealogies of the Israelite tribes is discussed, as well as the similarities and differences between them and other biblical genealogies, on the one hand, and the Middle Eastern and Ancient Greek ones, on the other. In addition, the article reveals the composition of the genealogical section of the Chronicles, built on the principle of chiasm, through which the sacred author sought to convey the key theological idea of both the introduction and the work as a whole: The Divine Plan for humanity and creation must be realized through the holiness of the people of God. As a result, it is concluded that the Chronicler sought to convey to his audience (the Jews of the late Persian [Achaemenid] period) an important message: despite the catastrophe of destruction and the Babylonian captivity, the relationship of Yahweh with His people continues, and Israel is still called to realize in its life, once conceived by God for all mankind, the ideal of holiness.

This chapter provides an overview of Greville’s political poetry, arguing that his work has to be understood as part of a tradition of writing which aimed to explore the relationship between the Crown and the people, expressing ideas in pithy, memorable maxims. Greville explores the rights and duties of rulers and ruled throughout his political works, most significantly, Mustapha and A Treatise of Monarchy, works which recall earlier political poetry such as A Mirror for Magistrates and the poetry of Sir Philip Sidney. Greville emerges as a figure always interested in imagining a truly balanced constitution in which the monarch and the people cooperate and respect each other: accordingly, his most forceful criticism was aimed at what he saw as the encroaching power of the state in the seventeenth century.

This paper describes the dynamics of the relationship between religion and society in the minds of scientists. Charles Darwin saw religion as a system of symbols which continue to evolve from the simplest stage to forms more complex. The evolution of religion is an attempt to build a new understanding with regard to the context which is also new. Emile Durkheim viewed religion also has a social function is to maintain the unity of the community. Religion was able to build a collective consciousness to raise social solidarity. Max Weber also viewed religion capable of forming a particular social status. He looked specifically Protestantism strongly supports the creation of community capitalism.

This article attempts to bring together religious history and the history of the public sphere. It proposes to reinterpret the historical significance of doctrinal controversies by examining the relationship between a regime of publicity and an ecclesiastic regime. For instance, seventeenth-century French theological controversies were characterized by the frequent publication of letters, which indicates just how strongly the religious legitimacy of a given controversy was called into question. The publication of letters appears to have offered a means of responding to the destabilization of publishing practice caused by these controversies. It also attests to both the religious refusal to transform the church into a public sphere and how the ecclesiastic aspect of doctrinal controversies made them difficult to resolve. The relationship between publicity and religion thus appears particularly relevant for both historians of early modern Catholicism and historians of the public sphere.

The author describes the moment of the emergence of the concept of sovereignty, its causes, historical significance, as well as the issues raised in the debate over this concept since the seventeenth century. Sovereignty refers to the state and points to its essential feature, which defines the state as the result of occidental rationalism (Max Weber). According to this definition, the state is different from other, earlier and parallel political forms, such as republics and empires. However, changes in the history of the state also affect the way in which sovereignty is understood. Consequently, the concept of sovereignty is often difficult to justify or is even – as some authors claim – anachronistic. The author outlines different approaches in the discussion about the validity of this concept and their premises. He also describes the relationship between the principle of sovereignty and the democratic rule of law.
