The acquisition of two Guanche mummies restituted to Tenerife from Necochea (Argentina), has made possible our study of the specimens from the perspective of museum exhibitions. The specimens belonged originally ton the old collection of the Casilda Museum (Tacoronte, Tenerife), and were sold to Argentinean businessmen during the 19th century who moved them to Argentina. The body of at least one of the mummies was adapted in several parts so as to present the image of a mummified body. This was a nineteenth century museum practice observed in various parts of the world in order to adapt mummified bodies for public exhibition. The material evidence in this particular case can be observed from anatomical data (the skeleton belongs to two individuals of different sex), and from the use of modern materials totally foreign to Guanche culture.

The world crisis created by COVID-19 invites us to find some precedents to it by examining past periods and situations in which our society has suffered similar circumstances. In this regard, one of the periods that show more similarities from a social and sanitary perspective is the Valencia of the 19th century, where between 1834 and 1890 there were a total of nine cholera epidemics that resulted in dozens of deaths and determined the future development of one of the main regions of the old Crown of Aragon. The author analyzes the social and cultural impact of cholera in Valencia during the 19th century and especially in the intellectual and literary world.

This article analyses 19th-century publications which dealt with the social and cultural aspects of psychiatric disorders in different parts of the world. Systematic reviews were conducted of three German medical journals, one Russian medical journal, and a relevant monograph. All these archives were published in the 19th century. Our work highlights the fact that long before Kraepelin, several, mostly forgotten, publications had already discussed cultural aspects, social conditions, the influence of religion, the influence of climate, and also “race” as a trigger or amplifier of psychiatric diseases. These publications also reflect racist notions of the colonial period.

El ceremonial en el siglo XIX en México, era una herramienta que contribuía a establecer y consolidar lo social, resguardaba privilegios de la clase alta y legitimaba a un sector político. El ceremonial luego entonces es utilizado en ese siglo como un mensaje a través de formalidades y honores. Existen, desde luego, innumerables factores comprendidos en el concepto del ceremonial, como que es una forma de comunicación que se ocupa del protocolo, precedencias estructuradas de relaciones formales. Por lo tanto, revisaremos dos documentos de ceremonial en México en la primera mitad del siglo XIX, uno sobre el culto funerario de un presidente de México y otro relativo a los actos públicos o privados donde concurre el presidente de México.______________________________________The ceremonial in the nineteenth century in Mexico, was a tool that helped to establish and consolidate the social, protected privileges of the upper class and legitimized a political sector.

The social class which was the spiritus movens of rapid economic transformation in the lands of the Kingdom of Poland in the nineteenth century was the bourgeoisie. In the public sphere, there is still a strong conviction among contemporary Poles about the moral defects of capitalists, for whom, according to the prevailing stereotypes, only profit was important. The author of this article, to contradict this claim, gives an example of the life and actions of Jan Gottlieb Bloch (1836–1902). The aim of the article is to present the broad economic, social and scientific activity of Bloch as a member of the bourgeoisie of the Kingdom of Poland. The author also points to the need for further research on the work of Jan Bloch, especially in the field of his economic and irenological writing.

According to Max Weber, protestant ethics with its active secular asceticism had a decisive impact on the development of capitalist economics whereas the contemplative Orthodox tradition did not favor the idea of active domination of the world. The economic discourse of the Russian nineteenth century literature reflects the widely spread discussion about the future of Russia, which, compared to advanced Western capitalism, was in the position of periphery. On the one hand, authors are aware of the fact that the adoption of certain Western economic concepts is inevitable in Russia, yet on the otherhand they fear the loss of cultural identity. Gogol and Goncharov, the authors of such famous works as The Dead Souls or Oblomov, are inclined to approve certain elements of capitalist economy – they will be treated under the catchword «economize» –, whereas the idea of anti-economic «spending» of money is characteristic of Dostoevsky´s novels such as The Gambler or The Adolescent. A special position may be ascribed to Tolstoy’s economic «minimalism» which has its roots in peasant ideas of natural economy and Western authors like Proudhon or Rousseau.

Uno de los apartados menos tratados de las representaciones visuales de Murcia ha sido el de la ephemera comercial. Por tal motivo, dado su uso limitado y efímero, en muchas ocasiones no se le ha considerado como un apartado estimable en la historia del arte. Pero lo cierto es que las etiquetas de fábricas de conservas, frutas, licores y otros establecimientos, desde los últimos años del siglo XIX y la primera mitad del XX, en base al diseño difundieron los elementos identitarios más significativos de este territorio por toda España y el resto del mundo. En la mayoría de casos, la marca publicitaria estaba basada en estampas e imágenes del Costumbrismo romántico murciano que ya se habían consolidado durante el ochocientos para la demanda social de esa corriente; en otros casos se fueron adaptando a los nuevos criterios estéticos del siglo XX. Finalmente, esta forma de publicitar cada producto ayudó a patentar la denominación de origen de diversas empresas de varios sectores, principalmente agroalimentarias, y al mismo tiempo a su asimilación con esta región levantina gracias a sus hitos arquitectónicos, la huerta o sus tipos populares. Esta última premisa es la que abordaremos dentro de este estudio al contrastarlas con otras representaciones anteriores. One of the less treated sections of the visual representations of Murcia has been the comercial ephemera. For this reason, given its limited and fleeting use, it has often not been considerated as a valvable section in the history of art. But the truth is that the labels of canning factories, fruits, liquors and other establishments, from the last years of the 19th century based on the design spread the most significant identity elements of this territory throughout Spain and the rest the world. In the majority of cases, the advertising brand was based on prints and images of Murcian romantic costums that had already been consolidated during the 19th century for the social demand of this currens, in other cases they were adapted to the new aesthetic criteria of the 20th century. Finally, this way of advertising each product helped to panted the denomination of origin of various companies, mainly agry-food, and at the same time to assimilate it with this southeast region thanks to its architectural landmarks, the orchard or its popular types. This last premise is the one we will address within this study when contrasting them other previous representations.

<p>This paper is aimed at describing the history and the social dynamics of the reformist and traditionalist fiqh in Indonesia. It first tries to show that since the 13<sup>th</sup> century Islam in Indonesia has largely been Sufi-oriented. It was only fairly recently that Islam in this country came into contact with figh especially after the return of Indonesian students from the Middle East toward the end of the 19th century. The puritan and reformist movements that prevailed in the Middle East at the time especially those under the patronage of Muhammad Abdul Wahhab and Jamaluddin al-Afghani inspired Muslims of this country to launch a similar reform in Indonesia. This reform movement received a somewhat strong opposition from the traditionalists since the beginning of the 20<sup>th</sup> century, hence the tension between the two currents of thought. This paper pays particular attention to this dynamic tension in the context of the contemporary historical and legal development in Indonesia.</p>

The annual spectacle of millions of pilgrims flooding Makkah has capturedthe imagination of generations of readers. This interest in the hajj, however,has not necessarily produced quality scholarship. From crude ethnographicsummaries to careful narratives of spiritual attainment, the literature has beeninconsistent at best. Brill’s republishing of Dutch scholar Christiaan SnouckHurgronje’s (1857-1936) forgotten work offers the modern reader not only aninvaluable window into the hajj as practiced before the age of mass communication,but provides a hitherto neglected discussion on the social, cultural,political, and economic impact that the experience had upon Muslims.Often lost in the generalizations one finds in descriptions of the annualpilgrimage, the world in which the reader is thrust while reading this bookoffers a Makkah that is far more culturally dynamic than expected. Hurgronje’sworld is one filled with cultural and doctrinal variances that aremanifestedin the different ways in which Muslims worshiped, clothed themselves,and ultimately socialized while in Makkah. In this sense, his carefulstudy of life over the months leading to the hajj exposes the reader to a fluidcultural and economic process that constantly transforms, leaving the readerwith the impression that life was not, as the clichés so often try to instill,“timeless.” Hurgronje, to his credit, is not interested in retelling theOrientalist trope; rather, he strives to provide a serious ethnographic and historicalstudy.As Hurgronje himself writes, this is a study to help non-Muslims, especiallyfellow Dutchmen, understand their Muslim subjects living in the FarEast. For this reason, the book’s final part focuses exclusively on the Makkanexperience of Dutch subjects. In this regard, it is a careful analysis of howMuslims from Java, Borneo, and Sumatra interacted with fellow Muslims;socialized in this cosmopolitan milieu; and adopted numerous personal andcollective activities during their stay. That being said, it is especially impressivethat this study is not meant to be only a tool for colonial governance ...
