Abstract This article examines the role of London's Crystal Palace in the popularization of ““classical music”” in Victorian Britain, and in the creation of the orchestral canon in the nineteenth century. The Crystal Palace was originally built in Hyde Park for the Great Exhibition of 1851 and was reconstructed in the London suburb of Sydenham in 1854. This popular attraction assumed a musical prominence in British culture when the ambitious conductor Augustus Manns established an orchestra there in 1855, and presented a series of Saturday Concerts until 1900. Central to this discussion of the significance of the Crystal Palace concerts are two audience plebiscites that Manns conducted, in 1880 and 1887, which shed much light on Victorian popular taste and musical values. As well, particular attention is given to his involvement in the ““English Musical Renaissance”” in both of its aspects: as a campaign to raise British composers to canonic stature (to construct a ““British Beethoven””); and as an effort to securely embed classical music within British culture.

This chapter explores the two-step theory of informality by observing the creation of two important organizations established at the dawn of the postwar period: the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT). These bodies emerged from the same multilateral framework, were intended to resolve problems that were similarly structured, and were established by nearly identical groups of states. Nonetheless, while one was formal (the IMF), the other was informal (the GATT). Why? The two-step theory offers a compelling explanation of these patterns. This is demonstrated by observing (1) how demand for governance first arose and then “selected” institutions to lead cooperative efforts, (2) how states formed preferences as to the legal design of each organization, and (3) how the distribution of preferences and power shaped the final outcome through processes of interstate bargaining.

Tocante ao teatro, Ricardo Carvalho Calero pódese considerar un inestimable contribuidor á creación e renovación do teatro galego do século XX, na etapa de posguerra. No seu teatro, sen adscrición a ningunha corrente literaria, podemos atopar dende propostas clásicas ata as máis modernas e mesmo algunhas moi próximas ao simbolismo e ao expresionismo. Auto do prisioneiro é a súa obra preferida e unha das máis representativas. Tematicamente, relicte un «problema existencial humano», cunha visión próxima ao teatro do absurdo e cargada de expresionismo e simbolismo. Unha obra da que cabe facer unha interpretación plural. As for Carvalho Calero’s playwrights, they can be considered an invaluable contributor to the creation and renewal of Galician theater in the twentieth century, in the postwar period. In his theater, without ascription to any literary current, we can ind from classical proposals to the most modern and even some very close to symbolism and expressionism. Auto do prisioneiro is his favorite work and one of the most representative. Thematically, it relects a «human existential problem», with a vision close to the theater of the absurd and laden with expressionism and symbolism. A work that can be interpreted in a plural way.

Abstract Tomasello offers a compelling account of the emergence of humans’ sense of obligation. We suggest that more needs to be said about the role of affect in the creation of obligations. We also argue that positive emotions such as gratitude evolved to encourage individuals to fulfill cooperative obligations without the negative quality that Tomasello proposes is inherent in obligations.
