Intellectual Legacy

1967, ONE MIGHT SAY, HAS BEEN GRAMSCI'S YEAR IN ITALY. In April a conference on the communist thinker was held in Cagliari, the capital city of his native island, Sardinia. A noteworthy book and several important essays dealing with his work, and a new history of the PCI from 1921 to 1926, have considerably enriched the already vast literature on the subject. Impassioned debates over Gramsci's political and intellectual legacy have vivified the usually drowsy atmosphere of the ‘cultural dubs’ in a number of middlesize towns, especially in the South. The time seems therefore appropriate for a reappraisal of Gramsci's role in present-day Italian culture and politics. In other words: how does Gramsci affect the contemporary Italian intellectual? More significantly, what does Gramsci mean to the leaders of the crisis-tom party he contributed to found and controlled before the day of his imprisonment?

The Geological History of the Thames is still the subject of conflicting hypotheses. Mr. F. W. Harmer (1907) has drawn a very interesting parallel between the basin of the Middle Thames around Oxford and the Vale of Pickering in Yorkshire. The latter, as is well known from Professor Kendall's paper (1902), was occupied by a glacial lake which was due to the Derwent River having had its outlet to the sea south of Scarborough closed by a dam of ice; the water rose in this lake until it overflowed at a gap near Malton; the river thus formed cut a gorge through which the drainage from the Vale of Pickering flows south-westward into the Yorkshire Ouse, and reaches the sea through the Humber. According to Mr. Harmer the Upper Thames originally discharged north-eastward through the Fens into the Wash; this outlet was blocked by the ice; the waters of the Upper Thames collected as a lake, which was discharged by overflow channels cut through the Chiltern Hills, and as the lake-level fell the discharge was maintained only through the Goring Gap at the south-western end of the Chiltern Hills. This view advances a different explanation of the Chiltern wind gaps than that advocated in a paper in 1894, and is opposed to the theory of the evolution of English rivers adopted by Professor W. M. Davis in 1895.

The Subject

On 4 February 1976 the Federal Military Government of Nigeria promulgated Decree No. 6, initiating the removal of the national capital from Lagos to Abuja. Thus Nigeria followed Brazil, Botswana, Malawi, Pakistan, and Tanzania to become the most recent developing country to arrange for a transfer of its centre of government. The proliferation of new capitals constructed in the twentieth century has captured the world-wide attention of geographers, architects, planners, and demographers, but the literature on the subject examines these projects almost exclusively with a focus on planning for national development. This viewpoint too often neglects politics as the paramount force in the relocation of a nation's capital city.

The Subject

The kingdom of Dahomey (or Fon) was probably founded during the first half of the seventheenth century, but emerged clearly as a major power only in the early eighteenth century when its king Agaja (ca. 1716–40) conquered its southern neighbours Allada (1724) and Whydah (1727), thereby establishing direct contact with the European slave-traders at the coast. Dahomey then remained the dominant power in the area until it was itself conquered by the French in the 1892–94. The kingdom ceased to exist as a political entity when its last king was deposed by the French in 1900, but a degree of institutional continuity has been maintained through the performance of rituals at the royal palace (now a museum) in the capital city Abomey. The history of Dahomey from the 1720s onwards is relatively well documented from contemporary European sources, enjoying in particular the unique distinction of being made the subject already in the eighteenth century of a published book—Archibald Dalzel's History of Dahomy (1793). There is also a rich and coherent corpus of narrative traditions relating to the kingdom's history, best known in the classic recension published in 1911 by the French colonial official Le Herissé, which is in fact merely a translation (and in some measure an abridgement, omitting some detailed material) of the account given to him by a single Dahomian informant, Agbidinukun, the chef de canton of the cercle of Abomey under French colonial rule and a brother of the last independent king of Dahomey, Behanzin (1889–94).

De Fläming is een streek ten zuidwesten van Berlijn die haar naam te danken heeft aan het feit dat ze in de 12de eeuw door Flamingi en Hollandi werd gekoloniseerd. Het onderwerp van deze bijdrage is evenwel niet de geschiedenis van deze middeleeuwse kolonisatie, maar de latere beeldvorming sedert de 19de eeuw. Toen prikkelde het idee dat de Fläming nog steeds bewoond werd door een authentiek Vlaamse bevolking die over de eeuwen heen haar taal, zeden en gebruiken gaaf had weten te bewaren, de verbeelding van heemkundigen, historici en filologen aan weerszijden. Aan Vlaamse kant was het de jurist en diplomaat Emile De Borchgave die dit idee in 1865 voor het eerst lanceerde. In Duitsland was het vooral dominee Otto Bölke die in een decennialange heemkundige bedrijvigheid de theorie van een nog steeds authentiek Vlaamse Fläming poogde te staven. Na de Duitse eenmaking in 1990 was het Fläming-verhaal aanleiding tot nieuwe Vlaams-Duitse contacten. De bijdrage schetst ook de ideologische gedaanteverwisselingen die dit verhaal in de loop van anderhalve eeuw heeft ondergaan.________ Der Fläming. History of a Flemish-German StoryThe Fläming is an area to the south-west of Berlin, which owes its name to the fact it was colonized by “Flamingi” and “Hollandi” in the twelfth century. However, the subject of this article is not the history of this medieval colonization, but the creation of an image thereof much later, from the nineteenth century on. At that time, the idea that the Fläming was still inhabited by an authentic Flemish population that had been able to fully preserve its language, manners, and customs throughout the centuries piqued the imagination of folklorists, amateur and professional historians and philologists on both sides of the border. On the Flemish side, it was the jurist and diplomat Emile De Borchgave who first put forth this idea in 1865. In Germany it was mostly the pastor Otto Bölke who attempted to support the theory of a still authentically Flemish Fläming, through decades of folkloric and historical activity. After German reunification in 1990, the story of the Fläming led to new Flemish-German contacts. This article also sketches the ideological metamorphoses that this story has undergone over the course of a century and a half.

The Relationship

Among the most vexing problems in the history of New Testament scholarship has been the relationship between Jesus and Paul. The problem is this: although Paul became one of the most prolific representatives of the movement that began with Jesus, by most modern accounts, he pays so little attention to the historical figure Jesus of Nazareth that, paradoxically, one has been forced to conclude that Paul really did not know much about Jesus, or perhaps even that Paul simply was not interested in the historical person Jesus. The discussion of the relationship (or lack thereof) between Paul and Jesus has a history that is both long and complex. But when one surveys the vast literature devoted to the subject one thing stands out: the major advances in the discussion have generally been achieved not by efforts to understand the apostle Paul better, but by new developments in the study of the historical Jesus and the theological program that has always attached itself to this thorny issue.

The article deals with the analysis of foreign researches of Mongol and Khwarezmian conquests of the South Caucasus. The subject of study is one of the latest works on this problem – D. Bayarsaikhan’s monograph «The Mongols and the Armenians (1220-1335)». The author of the article details historiography and source study of the book under consideration, as well as those sections, which present the description of Mongol and Khwarezmian invasion of the territory of the South Caucasus and the consequences of these conquests. Much attention is given to the section of D.Bayarsaikhan’s monograph describing the political structure of the South Caucasus at the beginning of the 13 th century and a number of earlier events. The author of the article also analyzes D. Bayarsaikhan’s position on a number of debatable problems concerning political history of the South Caucasus in the first half of the 13 th century. The author focuses on the idea of political history of the South Caucasus in the first half of the 13 th century that readers may get after their acquaintance with D. Bayarsaikhan’s book «The Mongols and the Armenians (1220-1335)». The fact that the monograph of D. Bayarsaikhan has not been translated into Russian yet and is not well known to specialists in Russia gives special significance to this article. To date, there are not many special studies on this problem in Russian science, therefore it is extremely important to study foreign experience in this field

The Subject

The advance to the South, or Nam-tien, is a major theme of Vietnamese history. Other themes, such as the influence of Chinese civilization or the development of an independent Vietnamese state after the tenth century, are in their ways just as important to the study of Vietnamese history as is the Nam-tien. The Nam-tien is unique, however, for it transcends the different periods in Vietnamese history — pre-Chinese, Chinese, independent, colonial, and contemporary — each with its own theme. It is also important because it provides the opportunity to study Vietnamese history on its own themes and not as part of, for example, French colonial history. Despite the importance which this writer believes it to be, though, the advance to the South has not been the subject of extensive investigation and publication. Only a few scholars, such as Pierre Gourou and Le Thanh Khoi, have looked beyond the usual framework of dates, dynasties, and wars to suggest the existence of social changes in Vietnamese history resulting from the expansion of settlements into new areas.
