Author(s):  
Carla Garrido de Oliveira

Might it be possible to discern in Raul Lino's writings _namely those published in 1918 and 1933_ the profile of a modern treatise on architecture, in the early 20th century?Drawing parallels on Alberti's "inaugural" essay (Choay, [1980], p.25), an assay precept is outlined (‘pro tem’ less conceptual than it is pragmatic), with which to approach both Lino books, anent the design of the modern dwelling. From Choay's five teatrise-making hallmarks, a structural comparison is enacted between Vitruvius' and Alberti's treatises and those books of Raul Lino; from Krüger (2011), further benchmarks of form and schematics are highlighted, as are othersrelated to subject, objective and framework.Probing both publications under the "cost-effective, modern dwelling" design premise (Lino, 1933, p.51), the 1918 book flaunts, perhaps, a richer vitruvian undertone, and more akin to a "book […] on architecturalcomposition" (Vogliazzo, 1988-90)[1], featuring tips on construction, just as it were a practical handbook; the 1933 release, however, borders on albertine ‘inauguration’, and contends an artistic-architectural theory, encompassing of a system of ‘virtues’; the latter is almost a "commentator" (Choay, [1980]), paving the way to "protest" (Lino, 1933, p.96) in a time of criticism, and manifestos.[1] Vogliazzo holds that, "aside from Le Corbusier, the last books to truly focus on architectural composition" were written by Hermann Muthesius and Raul Lino (Vogliazzo, 1988-90, p.29); the correlation between Muthesius' and Lino's writings triggered an already ongoing comparison, akin to the present proposal;_Será possível reconhecer nos textos de Raul Lino, nomeadamente nos livros publicados em 1918 e 1933, características de um tratado de arquitectura moderno, a inícios do século XX?Estabelecendo paralelos com o texto “inaugural” de Alberti (Choay, [1980], p.25), elaboramos um princípio de análise, de momento mais funcional que de conceitos, destes dois livros de Raul Lino sobre a problemática do projecto da casa moderna. Partindo dos cinco verificadores de propriedade tratadística de Choay, estabelecemos uma comparação estrutural entre os tratados de Vitrúvio e de Alberti e estes textos de Raul Lino; a partir de Krüger (2011), sublinhamos outros aferidores de forma e sistemática, mas também de objecto, objectivo e enquadramento.Lavrando ambos no âmbito da teoria do projecto “da moderna casa económica” (Lino, 1933, p.51), será possível considerar que o livro de 1918 é mais vitruviano, próximo de um “livro […] de composição arquitectónica” (Vogliazzo, 1988-90)[1] com recomendações construtivas em jeito de manual prático; o livro de 1933 aproxima-se da ‘inauguração’ albertiana, propondo uma teoria artística-arquitectónica em torno de um sistema de ‘virtudes’; mas este último é também mais “comentador” (Choay,[1980]), abrindo passo ao “protesto”(Lino, 1933, p.96) em tempos de crítica e manifestos.[1] Vogliazzo considera que, “para além de Le Corbusier, os últimos verdadeiros livros de composição arquitectónica ”foram escritos por Hermann Muthesius e Raul Lino (Vogliazzo, 1988-90, p.29); a relação entre textos de Muthesius e Lino é mote para um paralelo, em desenvolvimento, análogo à presente proposta;

"The Contemporary Reception of Lajos Csiky’s Voluminous Works. Lajos Csiky (1852–1925) was a late 19th and early 20th-century professor of practical theology at the Theological Academy of Debrecen. His works have not yet been researched accordingly. In the first part of this short paper, we would like to present the socio-theological context in which the renowned theologian spent his creative years, focusing especially on the debate of the day between liberal and orthodox theology. In the second part, we would like to reflect on the way his major theological works were received by his contemporaries during a span of more than four decades of academic activity.

The study analyzes the images of journalists in the works of Russian writers of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, the realities of their professional life and the place they occupied in pre-revolutionary society also. Although members of the press most often act as secondary characters in the prose and drama of M. Gorky, A.I. Kuprin, E.N. Chirikov and other authors, their actions have a significant impact on the development of the plot and the fate of the central characters. The “power” of the press over public consciousness is often evaluated negatively, but the journalist’s figure can be described in tragic tones in terms of how it is perceived by these writers. The journalist is shown as a person who bears all the hardships of forced labor, depends on money and bears the cost of a bohemian lifestyle.

In this paper I seek to apprehend some of the powers of nonrepresentational practice and performance through an encounter with the rhythmic movement of the body. I concentrate on eurhythmics, a practice that emerged in Geneva in the late 19th century and early 20th century as an effort to improve musical appreciation through rhythmic movement. Drawing on work in cultural and architectural theory, I argue that the historical and cultural geographies of eurhythmics can best be apprehended diagrammatically. Specifically, I situate eurhythmics in diagrammatic relation to the corporeal kinaesthetics of rhythmic movement, to practices of social and cultural transformation, and to architectures of performative potential. By apprehending the geographies of eurhythmics in this way, I not only work to demonstrate that nonrepresentational styles of thinking and working multiply rather than undermine the field of power in which geographers move, but also present a sense of how these powers can become implicated in the very practice and performance of geographical research.

This article is about the suicide of the chief of police of a small Canadian town, which - according to some - did not actually happen. While employed as a researcher and writer with a museum in Port Moody, British Columbia, the author heard this story as one of many told by the ‘old-timers’ who assisted with the writing of a history book. The controversy over the potential suicide provided the means by which this article reflects on issues of ethics, advocacy, and performance when doing public history. The main request of the old-timers was to ‘put the good stories in’ when writing the book. This expectation caused tension between the author and the museum, reflecting the divide between doing ‘history’ and ‘heritage’. This article draws on Anthropological theories of ‘complicity’ and performance in storytelling to make sense of the author’s role within the context of a museum working to record the stories of long-time residents. The stories of the old-timers were filtered through the lens of early 20th century ideas about gender, race, and class, and affected by a lingering frontier mentality. As such, they wished to see their town’s history told in a very specific way. The story of the police chief’s suicide betrayed this intent, allowing for an analysis of how these expectations can affect the way in which public history is done.

The purpose of this essay is to trace the way in which the character of Spanish brothel life is treated during the Middle Ages and Renaissance. This character defines his love affairs, seduces and attracts the young women to have love encounters with their suitors through deceits and love potions. García Márquez adopts these literary traditions in the early 20th century in Barranquilla and enriches them with characters such as the procuress and maid Delgadina.

T. S. Eliot's Sweeney Agonistes is one of the most important pieces in modern drama. The purpose of this study of Sweeney Agonistes is to explore the fertilising forces that made it possible for the play to bring new colours to the language of the theatre; another aim is to look at the background of the fragments, exploring the different elements of ritual, religion, and literary sources working in the play. Although the play is fragmentary, it can be regarded as a key to Eliot's dramatic art. The way Eliot used the language of Jazz is unique in early 20th century literature; the lack of characters, plot and settings naturally draw our attention to language, which is characterised by an unprecedented vitality and dynamism. Eliot clearly succeeded in establishing a new vehicle for dramatic expression. The rituals providing the background in Sweeney are closely connected with Greek drama and the religious turn in Eliot's life leading to the birth of the Ariel Poems, one of which, "The Journey of the Magi," opens up to further analysis if we approach it from the direction of Sweeney Agonistes.

The contribution “Uncommunicative Communication: Competing Egyptian, Ottoman and British Notions of Imperial Order in 19th-Century Egypt” by Maurus Reinkowski (University of Basel) sees Egypt in the late 19th and early 20th century as a particularly illustrative case of competing imperial ventures, in particular of the Egyptian, Ottoman and British states. Whereas the Egyptian imperial venture, prominent under Muḥammad ʿAlī in the 1820s and 1830s and revived under Ismāʿīl (r. 1863–1879) in the early 1870s, quickly degenerates into bankruptcy and finally British occupation from 1882 onwards, the Ottoman-British imperial competition continues until 1914. A particularly colorful example of how the Ottoman Empire and Great Britain – in the way of uncommunicative communication – strived to maintain respectively to enforce their notion of an appropriate imperial order is to compare of Aḥmed Muḫtār Paşa and Lord Cromer. Aḥmed Muḫtār, a high-ranking Ottoman officer, was sent in 1885 as Extraordinary Commissioner to Cairo, where he stayed until 1908. Muḫtār’s semi-exile in Cairo was characterized by factual powerlessness as he was completely overshadowed by Sir Evelyn Baring, the British consul general who was the factual ruler of Egypt between 1882 and 1907. Starting from the assumption that Aḥmed Muḫtār’s status in Egypt does not only reflect his personal isolation, but also the precarious imperial status of the Ottoman Empire, this paper examines Aḥmed Muḫtār’s presence and politics in Cairo as a case of both personal self-reassurance and imperial self-representation.

The article considers L.N. Tolstoy not only as a thinker who represents but also accomplishes Enlightenment. Through a comparison of his ideas with philosophy of Spinoza and Diderot, the author clarifies the aspects of the transition from Enlightenment to the unique Tolstoy’s religious and philosophical doctrine. A special attention is paid to the way of thinking, the relation to science and the specifics of the worldview of Tolstoy and Diderot. The contradiction between the way of thinking and the way of life of the three philosophers is revealed. The author also researches their philosophical interpretations of the nature of creative thought. Diderot describes the nature through the concept of paradoxism, Spinoza describes it with the concept of integrity, and Tolstoy uses the method of cohesion that he founds in literary works. If for the philosophers of European Enlightenment, the way of thinking is directly related to human nature, which is presented as a unity of natura naturans and natura naturata, then Tolstoy considers that the most important is a certain a priori sense of life, which is imbued with faith in God and with an instinct of self-giving that is love for the Supreme and other people. The method of cohesion leads Tolstoy away from the direct continuation of educational ideas, stressing the significance of appealing not only to reason but also to creative intuition. Tolstoy gradually moves away from rational perception of Life to its religious and existential foundations. Tolstoy’s worldview undergoes transition from the idea of a natural man to the idea of a human being who lives by commandments of Christ. Starting from the worldview of Enlightenment, Tolstoy comes to the creation of religious and philosophical doctrine, which is relevant to early 20th century.
