Officeholding was a defining ascpect of early modern Welsh gentility and was more prominent in upholding the status and authority of the Welsh gentry than it was for their English counterparts. Using a case study of the Salesburys of Rhug and Bachymbyd, this article analyses the importance of officeholding to the Welsh gentry after the Acts of Union (1536 and 1543). It finds that the Salesburys were effective local administrators who understood how to use officeholding to enhance their status in their community. At the same time, the family were not isolated in the localities and they continually engaged with the agents of central government.

Abstract This article studies the fate of a contradiction between practice and prescriptive text in 16th-century Ashkenaz. The practice was fleeing a plagued city, which contradicted a Talmudic passage requiring self-isolation at home when plague strikes. The emergence of this contradiction as a halakhic problem and its various forms of resolution are analyzed as a case study for the development of halakhic literature in early modern Ashkenaz. The Talmudic text was not considered a challenge to the accepted practice prior to the early modern period. The conflict between practice and Talmud gradually emerged as a halakhic problem in 15th-century rabbinic sources. These sources mixed legal and non-legal material, leaving the status of this contradiction ambiguous. The 16th century saw a variety of solutions to the problem in different halakhic writings, each with their own dynamics, type of authority, possibilities, and limitations. This variety reflects the crystallization of separate genres of halakhic literature.

ABSTRACTThis essay maintains that John Foxe has been under-utilized as a source of early modern English social history. Accordingly, the mid-Tudor portions of the Acts and monuments of Foxe are examined with reference to such topics as the size of early modern families, the roles of spouses within marriage, the status of romantic love and marriage, and the treatment of children. In addition to these familiar categories, however, the essay also asks whether the protestant community of the Marian era was forming a coherent vision of the family as part of its strategy of survival, and whether the catholic authorities were aware of this and attempted to thwart its development. The possibility of a connection between the protestant emphasis on rediscovering the heart of the Christian gospel and a renewed emphasis on the biblical vision of family is raised, together with a discussion of the English reformers' concern that families not serve as hindrances in the advancement of the kingdom of God at that critical juncture in the life of the nation.

This chapter argues that Modena's criticism of the Zohar's origins had little to do with its theological contents. It emerged as a reaction to the elevated status of the work among his Jewish contemporaries and immediate predecessors; Jews had begun to treat the Zohar as a source of legal authority rather than a collection of stories and biblical glosses. Modena's critique constituted a denunciation of these larger trends in contemporary Jewish life rather than a rejection of the Zohar as a work of exegesis. As such, Ari Nohem offers a case study of how an early modern intellectual worked to prove that a text was pseudepigraphic. It also presents a wealth of information on attitudes toward the Zohar among Jews in Italy, Poland, and elsewhere. Ultimately, Modena rejected the status ascribed to the Zohar in contemporary Jewish life, denied the work's ostensible antiquity, and reflected on the deleterious impact of its packaging as a printed book.

The paper analyses the status, role and identity of young countryside women and their impact on the family and organization of a social life in a village Dudovica. Findings of the survey carried out during 2003 are presented. Understanding the specific social and private life from an angle of young countryside women was the basic aim of this case study. The results are compared with the findings of the survey conducted earlier by Maja Korac. The survey findings show that traditional identity pattern is not predominant, although it still exists together with traditional values and preferences and is in the process of transformation. Young women are not marginalized in their personal and social life, but have public, private and family life, which is partly a result of their higher educational and economic level and certain independence, which was not the case fifteen years ago.

  Abstract Political dynasties can be understood as a political strategy to maintain power by passing down the power that has been held by others who are still among relatives. First, the stagnation of the cadre of political parties in capturing qualified regional head candidates, thus creating political pragmatism by encouraging relatives the regional head's family to become a public official. Second, the context of the community that maintains the status quo conditions in the region that want the regional head to rule by encouraging the family or people close to the regional head to replace detention. Political dynasty is a negative excess of regional autonomy that makes hijacked democracy by the circulation of genealogical core relations, based on kinship relations and outside of genealogical lines that have an interest in perpetuating family power. In practice, the actualization of political dynasties is carried out with several perspectives, namely neopatrimonialism, political clan, and political predators.  The development of political dynasty at the local level can also be interpreted as a form of local 'Cendanaisasi'. The term cendanaisasi refers to the Cendana Family during the 32 years of President Soeharto's leadership which was very powerful in Indonesia's political economy. All key government posts are controlled by children, sons-in-law, nephews, and other relatives, so that this power becomes lasting for three decades of government. This pattern is actually being developed and exemplified by local elite families that the local democratic process can be traced by placing relatives in regional strategic positions. Keywords: Local Politics, Dynasty, Regional Government  Abstrak Dinasti politik dapat dipahami sebagai strategi politik untuk tetap menjaga kekuasaan dengan cara mewariskan kekuasaan yang telah digenggam kepada orang lain yang masih merupakan kalangan sanak keluarga, Pertama, macetnya kaderisasi partai politik dalam menjaring calon kepala daerah yang berkualitas, sehingga menciptakan pragmatisme politik dengan mendorong kalangan sanak keluarga kepala daerah untuk menjadi pejabat publik. Kedua, konteks masyarakat yang menjaga adanya kondisi status quo di daerahnya yang menginginkan kepala daerah untuk berkuasa dengan cara mendorong kalangan keluarga atau orang dekat kepala daerah menggantikan petahanan. Dinasti Politik merupakan ekses negatif dari otonomi daerah yang menjadikan demokrasi terbajak (hijacked democracy) oleh sirkulasi hubungan inti genealogis, berdasarkan relasi kekeluargaan maupun di luar garis genealogis yang memiliki kepentingan terhadap pelanggengan kekuasaan family. Dalam prakteknya sendiri aktualisasi dinasti politik dilakukan dengan beberapa sudut pandang yaitu neopatrimonialisme, klan politik, dan predator politik. Berkembangnya dinasti politik di tingkat lokal juga bisa ditafsirkan sebagai bentuk ‘Cendanaisasi’ lokal. Istilah cendanaisasi merujuk pada Keluarga Cendana semasa 32 tahun kepemimpinan Presiden Soeharto yang sangat berkuasa dalam ekonomi-politik Indonesia. Semua pos-pos kunci pemerintahan dikuasai anak, menantu, kemenakan, maupun kerabat lainnya, sehingga kekuasaan tersebut menjadi langgeng selama tiga dekade pemerintahan. Pola itulah yang sebenarnya sedang berkembang dan dicontoh oleh para keluarga elit lokal bahwa proses demokrasi lokal bisa ditelikung dengan menempatkan kerabat dalam posisi strategis daerah. Kata Kunci: Politik local, Dinasti, Pemerintahan daerah

In all economically developed societies, we find a fair amount of inter-generational mobility and at the same time clear patterns of continuity between the status of the family of origin in society and the education and income of the offspring. The desire of those who advocate equal opportunity is to minimize as much as possible this inter-generational continuity by increasing the chances of children from the lower part of the stratified structure to reach higher levels of education and income. This article will describe the process of the Israeli minorities and their integration or segregation the context of Educational integration in the country.

The family described in this article provides an unusual opportunity to relate findings from genetic, histological, electrophysiological, psychophysical, and rehabilitative investigation. Although the total number evaluated is large (49), the known, living affected population is smaller (14), and these are spread from age 20 to age 59. As a result, the findings described above are those of a large-scale case study. Clearly, more data will be available through longitudinal study of the individuals documented in the course of this investigation but, given the slow nature of the progression in this disease, such studies will be undertaken after an interval of several years. The general picture presented to the audiologist who must rehabilitate these cases is that of a progressive cochlear degeneration that affects only thresholds at first, and then rapidly diminishes speech intelligibility. The expected result is that, after normal language development, the patient may accept hearing aids well, encouraged by the support of the family. Performance and satisfaction with the hearing aids is good, until the onset of the speech intelligibility loss, at which time the patient will encounter serious difficulties and may reject hearing aids as unhelpful. As the histological and electrophysiological results indicate, however, the eighth nerve remains viable, especially in the younger affected members, and success with cochlear implantation may be expected. Audiologic counseling efforts are aided by the presence of role models and support from the other affected members of the family. Speech-language pathology services were not considered important by the members of this family since their speech production developed normally and has remained very good. Self-correction of speech was supported by hearing aids and cochlear implants (Case 5’s speech production was documented in Perkell, Lane, Svirsky, & Webster, 1992). These patients received genetic counseling and, due to the high penetrance of the disease, exhibited serious concerns regarding future generations and the hope of a cure.
