Working from a phenomenological position, the author investigates “in-head” acoustic localization in the context of the historical development of modern listening. Starting from the development of the stethoscope in the early 19th century, he traces novel techniques for generating space within the body and extrapolates from them into contemporary uses of headphones in sound art. The first half of the essay explores the history, techniques and technology of “in-head” acoustics; the second half presents three sound artists who creatively generate headphone spatializations. The essay ends with reflections on how these sound “imaging” techniques topologically shape our subjectivities.

AbstractThis article examines how the widespread denomination of the Alevi tradition as “heterodox Islam” was introduced in the academic field in the late 19th century. This denomination reflects the differentiation between Alevis and Sunnis, which originally did not base on religious differences but on the socio-political power struggle between the Ottoman Empire and the Safavids/Kızılbaş. First, the historical development of this conflict and the spread of anti-Safavid/Kızılbaş propaganda in the 16th century will be highlighted. Second, it will be illustrated how the Kızılbaş were 'rediscovered' by Westerners in the late 19th century. Then, the development of anti-Alevi discrimination and resentment in the 20th century will be described. Finally, Turkey's official line in regard to the Alevis' religious status and the Alevis' aggressive response to this will be shown.

Vietnam is one of the multi-ethnic nations with a culture deeply imbued with unity in diversity. This type of unity in diversity results from a long process of historical development, becoming a precious cultural heritage in need of careful preservation. From the viewpoints of historical and cultural sciences, the paper focuses on the analysis of the unity in diversity of Vietnamese culture from the angle of Champa cultural intergration into Dai Viet culture since the 19th Century. Since then, Champa culture becomes a member living harmoniously in the big family of Vietnamese culture.

The historical development of the Arabic language in Indonesia can not be separated from the spread of Islam which is the most dominant followed by Indonesian society itself. This has an impact on the development of Arabic learning today, that look is still far from the expected. It seems that view of the cultural and religious patterns of Indonesia in the early 19th century that are still at the level of mythic and theological, less positive effect on the future of Arabic learning in today’s contemporary world. How is the relationship between religion and its influence on the development of the Arabic language, especially in Indonesia will be described in this paper? By using the theory of van Peursen culture and Comte as theoretical analysis, the author tries to find a possible alternative solution of some negative effects in the mythic dimensions of such view, by emphasizing the positive aspects.

Cranio-facial reconstruction has its origins in the 19th century, initially to recreate and ‘bring back to life’ the faces of the rich and the famous. Since then, over the last 100 years, there have been various methods used to produce reconstructions for forensic identification as well as for historical or archaeological purposes. These range from the traditional sculpting methods to those based on up-to-date computer technology. When no other method of identification is available in skeletalized, badly mutilated or decomposing remains, forensic craniofacial reconstruction may be employed to produce a face which it is hoped will trigger recognition and thus lead to a positive identification. This paper discusses the role that cranio-facial reconstruction may play in identification and its limitations.

Historical interest in flow measurement can be traced back for more than a thousand years but it was less than four hundred years ago that the first principles began to be understood. The initial incentive to measure flow was the need to charge consumers and this led to the early development of positive/semipositive and inferential type integrating meters. Later, towards the end of the 19th century, measurement of flowrate became important for industrial and utility purposes. Pressure differential techniques held sway to satisfy this demand until about 1950 when alternative methods started to become available. Currently there are about sixty different flow measuring techniques in use to meet the ever-increasing requirements for domestic, custom transfer and industrial flow measurement of liquids, gases, vapours and solids in single or polyphase form.
