His teaching ability, his gifted surgical skills and his innovations in orthopedics attracted the interest of the world orthopedic’s community and gave him a long lasting reputation. But most of all he is considered as the founder of pediatric orthopedics in America.

By the early 20th century, Marxism was the dominant ideology of the left, especially in Europe. Marxism spread significantly around the world after the two world wars, but Marx’s prominence went into abrupt decline in 1991, with the collapse of the Soviet Union. Since then, China has been the most significant avowedly Marxist country. ‘Is Marx still relevant?’ considers whether Marx’s views are still relevant when dealing with worldwide inequality, global financial crises, the age of globalization, and climate change. It concludes that Marx’s ideas about the role that economic interests play in our intellectual and political lives will remain relevant, but that his prediction of the inevitability of a proletarian revolution will not.

Este texto examina a relação entre as mudanças históricas na sociedade tradicional do engenho, no nordeste brasileiro, no começo do século XX, e a alteração nas percepções espaciais que se expressam em uma série de metáforas que emergem tanto no discurso memorialístico, como no discurso literário produzido por homens ligados a esta elite em declínio social e econômico. Estes textos falam do encurtamento do mundo, de sufocamentos, de limites cada vez mais rigorosos para a vida dos homens. Parece haver uma relação entre mudanças espaciais e mudanças nos códigos sociais e de gênero, à medida que o mesmo mundo que parece vir se encurtando para os homens, parece vir se alargando para as mulheres. Os homens se sentem cada vez mais presos e falam que as mulheres estão cava vez mais à solta. Os espaços que emergem com a sociedade urbana e industrial, espaços disciplinares, ao mesmo tempo em que aparecem nestes discursos como limitadores da vida dos homens, surgem como espaços de libertação das mulheres e de inversão perigosa das relações tradicionais de gênero. Numa sociedade que estaria se feminilizando, os homens estariam cada vez mais sem espaço. Abstract This paper concerns the historical and social changes the tradicional sugar mil society faced in the northeast of Brazil in the early 20th century, and the changes in the space perceptions expressed through a number of metaphors which occur both in memoirs or literary discourses used by the male group from the decadent elite. Those discourses speak about the curbing of the world to men, the suffocation feeling caused by stricter limits and places arising from an urban industrial society symbolized by the mills. These texts also refer to the shortening of male spaces related to a dangerous widening of female spaces. The same institutional and disciplinary spaces that mean imprisonment for men mean freedom to womem. These male discourses combine what is call ed a feminization society and consequent broadening of female boundaries and the reduction of spaces for the men who then face the limitions in their command and in their world.

Neither inside, nor outside. Between art and non-art. Visual artist, Marcel Duchamp’s readymade art installations of the early 20th century mapped a space of between-ness, of liminality, through previously drawn boundaries in the art world. In this article, we put forth readymade methodology as a liminal approach to (post)qualitative research. Drawing from Duchamp’s readymade art installations, we situate dominant methodological practices as collections of ready-made techniques and technologies for interpreting the world (research as instrumentation); such processes, we argue, are distinct from readymade inquiry (research as immanent and multiplicitous). Readymade methodology disorients knowings and illustrates lines of flight produced from inversions of taken-for-granted technical application of research methods. In this article, we think methodology differently, not limiting ourselves to the constraints/comforts of conventional qualitative methodology. Just as Duchamp interrogated the in-between of art and everyday life, readymade methodology flourishes in/with the potentiality of twisted liminal spaces in (post)qualitative inquiry.

There exists a German-Jewish cultural discourse from the early 20th century that stands in dynamic tension between spiritual and material, sacred and secular, beyond the usual static dichotomies. Several key Jewish thinkers have sought to recover spiritual meaning, in direct interaction with the profane. Under different ways they developed a process of simultaneous secularization and sacralization, in a sort of “dialectic” combination of both. The first common characteristic of these authors is their deep attachment to the German romantic culture, with its ambivalence towards modernity, and its desperate attempt at re-enchanting the world through a return to past spiritual forms. This article will demonstrate these relationships through the work of young Eric Fromm.

AbstractAs the articles in this special issue demonstrate, the emergence of government-voluntary sector compacts around the world is intimately linked to comprehensive transformations the welfare state is undergoing in many countries. The fact that the first compact was developed in England is significant; since the early 20th century, the development of the welfare state in many societies has been significantly influenced by the ideas coming from policymakers, scholars and advocates in the United Kingdom.

De-colonization is an integrated part of modernization of the process of the 20th century in the world. It can be understood as a process which embodies two parallel movements-the colonized people’s struggle for independence and the colonial metropolitan country’s reaction. This paper takes the Zhongshan Park (formal Quanye Expo) in Tianjin’s Chinese settlements as a specific case and investigates the interplay between native culture and colonial culture in the park building process. Through investigating the Chinese Municipal Parks, the paper elucidates the conflicts between colonialism and nationalism contextualized in Sino-West cultural encounters, and reveals the Chinese efforts for cultural de-colonization in early 20th century.

India is the top remittance receiving nation in the world. Majority of the migration remittances were used for renovation of the houses, buying property, purchasing land and education of the next generation invested with the hope of future economic security. Though remittances have been a constant part of free emigration from India since early 20th century, it is only recently that there has been a greater attention to social remittances. In terms of social remittances, India can be referred to as the world leader in remittances received. Flows of social remittances have explored multiple social and cultural exchanges that happen as a result of continuous to and fro migration between countries socially and culturally. This article looks at economic remittances from the Gulf briefly. The second section of the article will deal with the question as to how people have adopted certain practices in their everyday lives (Weiner, 1982).

Over the last three years, the idea of a ‘post-truth society’ has become a common talking point. Politicians from around the world, from Europe to South America to the United States, have been labelled as ‘post-truth leaders’, with Donald Trump being portrayed as the standard bearer for this new kind of political discourse. This article suggests that post-truth leadership is nothing new. Ever since Max Weber developed his notion of charismatic leadership in the early 20th century, Western societies have been infatuated with the idea that leaders ought not concern themselves too much with factual reality. In a sense, leadership has been post-truth all along.
