The Dead

AbstractThe article shows how Swedish reformers – through the ordo for the blessing of the corpse and the funeral – introduced a new focus in relation to the medieval tradition: from the deceased to the living. The reformers rejected the medieval idea of purgatory and refused intercession and the celebration of Mass before funeral. Therefore, the relation between the living and the dead must have suffered and the living would no longer be reminded of those who departed to the same extent as before. Instead, according to the reformers, during the funeral service the living would be reminded of their own condition, their certain death and Christian hope. Sources from late sixteenth century which demonstrate prohibitions of certain customs emphasize that the Swedish Reformation did not mean a sudden break with earlier tradition and custom, but that it was a longue durée.

This article analyzes all extant agricultural treatises produced before the sixteenth century throughout Eurasia, in order to highlight their importance for the study of agricultural praxis, their significance for constructing a transnational intellectual history of the medieval globe, and their relevance for the development of pragmatic literacies. Such texts emerged both in China and around the Mediterranean before 200 BCE, and somewhat later in India, but few have been preserved and many are difficult to date. Thereafter, the medieval transmission of agricultural knowledge moved via several different regional trajectories and traditions, with Anglo-Norman England becoming a fourth and largely independent birthplace of the agricultural treatise genre during the thirteenth century. The proliferation of these texts becomes evident throughout Eurasia around 1000 CE and increases further from the fourteenth onward. Throughout this longue durée, the contents of these treatises reflect real changes in agricultural technologies, dominant crops, and climate.

The Dead

As we know from the Nag Hammadi saga, there is something enchanting about telling find stories. This enchantment is part of the very reason “getting the story straight” is so difficult when it comes to manuscript discoveries: every story worth its salt will be transformed in the telling, and stories that are alive are reactive. If one way to approach these stories is to debunk those aspects that are products of embellishment and myth, another is to attend precisely to their affective power, seeing them as a narrative genre in the longue durée. Using examples from both pre-modern find stories and narratives about the discovery of the Cairo Geniza and the Dead Sea Scrolls, this essay discusses what the find story genre can tell us about how we imagine our relationship with a fragmented past. True or legendary, such stories are always imaginative products. Attending to this dimension can reveal a poetics of textual discovery that is ancient and widely shared--a vital link between modern scholarship, public interest, and ancient myth.

La production de l’acide phosphorique au monde engendre l’accumulation d’une grande quantité d’un sous-produit acide appelé phosphogypse (PG). La grande partie de ce PG est rejetée sans aucun traitement dans l’environnement, ce qui forme une source significative de contamination à longue durée. Le PG Marocain est principalement formé par le sulfate de calcium, à côté de diverses impuretés telles que les phosphates, les fluorures, les matières organiques, les métaux lourds et les éléments radioactifs. Cet article détaille en particulier les différentes propriétés physico-chimiques du PG Marocain. La compréhension de ces propriétés permet en générale d’identifier les différents agents de contamination de l’environnement contenus dans ce résidu. De plus, les facteurs affectant la présence des différentes sortes d’impuretés dans le PG sont aussi discutés.

Phosphor ist ein nicht ersetzbarer Nährstoff in Düngemitteln, die essentiell für die Produktion günstiger Nahrungsmittel sind. Der vorliegende Artikel analysiert die Veränderungen in der globalen Phosphatindustrie in einer longue-durée-Perspektive und geht besonders auf Entwicklungen seit den plötzlichen Preisanstiegen 2007 und 2011 ein. Zwar wird seitdem eine langfristig durchaus relevante geologische Erschöpfung des Rohstoffs Phosphatgestein diskutiert (peak phosphorus), derzeit kommt es aber eher zu einer politisch regulierten Verteuerung von Phosphatprodukten für importierende Länder (USA, Europa, Brasilien, Indien). Der Rohstoff liegt stark konzentriert in China und Marokko, die zunehmend eigene Interessen gegen die alten Zentren des Weltsystems (USA, Europa) durchsetzen können.

The Dead

Dublin's Gresham Hotel, where Gabriel and Gretta Conroy end their evening in Joyce's most famous short story, has a fascinating history. It was founded in 1817 by Thomas Gresham, who began life as a foundling rescued from the steps of London's Royal Exchange and was thereby given the name of the Renaissance statesman who built that exchange. This sixteenth-century Thomas Gresham was even better known, however, for his eponymous ‘Gresham's Law’. Both Gresham's Law and the hotel setting and history enter into and help to shape ‘The Dead’. Questions of value and valuing suggested by Gresham's Law are shown to be more complicated than they initially appear, as they intersect with the various forms of hospitality traced in the story. The ‘secondary’ quality of the famous Dublin hotel (built by the second, unknown Thomas Gresham) underscores – and ultimately redeems – the theme of secondariness that runs through ‘The Dead’.

Les historiens s'accordent sur le fait que l'économie de l'Europe au nord des Alpes a traversé une phase dépressive de longue durée pendant les XIVe et XVe siècles (arrêt de l'essor démographique, contraction de la production agricole, stagnation des prix des céréales, etc.) et que le problème qui se pose maintenant est celui des causes et des modalités de cette tendance à la stagnation. Mais en ce qui concerne la péninsule italienne, la question n'est pas encore résolue.En 1949, M. Cipolla avait déjà mis l'accent sur la stagnation de l'économie italienne au XIVe siècle, et avait analysé le caractère « rural » de la reprise du XVe siècle.
