Wrocław deputies to the Silesian provincial assembly (1824–1921) — an evolution? The paper focuses on the personal profile, professional background, and length of tenure of deputies to the provincial assembly in Silesia representing the province’s capital almost throughout the entire period of the assembly’s functioning, i.e. from its establishment in 1824 until the end of the term of the last Landtag of Imperial Germany. The observations and inquiries contained in the paper make it possible to present the life stories of the deputies to the provincial Landtag in Silesia. The background of these life stories was provided by significant transformations of the political system in the nineteenth and early twentieth century. The fate of the Landtag was part of the general history of Germany, especially Prussia and as a result the systemic transformation of the analysed institution stemmed straight from these events; these were not rapid changes, but a process unfolding across over one hundred years. The subject matter and chronological framework of the paper have not been chosen accidentally. So far authors of the literature on the subject have been interested mainly in the administrative apparatus of the executive power in Prussia in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries; the system of self-government and its legislative bodies, that is provincial assemblies, has not attracted much interest of scholars. Only partial studies have been published, examining selected aspects of the history of parliamentarism in Prussian provinces in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. That is why the author has chosen to follow the functioning of the personal profile, shaped in the 1810s, as well as major manifestations of the activity of Wrocław deputies to the provincial assembly in Silesia. Yet no evolution of deputies, mentioned in the title, has been demonstrated. In the three periods of the Landtag’s existence they were municipal officials and representatives of the economic elite.    Die Breslauer Abgeordneten in den Provinziallandtag der Provinz Schlesien (1824–1921) — Evolution? Zum Gegenstand dieses Beitrags wurde die personelle und berufliche Struktur sowie die Länge der Amtszeit der Abgeordneten in den Provinziallandtag der Provinz Schlesien, die die Hauptstadt der Provinz in der Zeit von seiner Einberufung im Jahre 1824 bis zur Beendigung der letzten Amtsperiode des letzten Landtages des Zweiten Reiches vertreten haben. Die in der Arbeit enthaltenen Beobachtungen und Ermittlungen erlauben die Schicksale der Breslauer Abgeordneten in den Provinziallandtag der Provinz Schlesien in der Zeit wichtiger Änderung der Staatsform im 19. und zum Anfang des 20. Jahrhunderts zu schildern. Die Geschichte des Landtages war mit der allgemeinen Geschichte Deutschlands und insbesondere Preußens verbunden, daher ergab sich die Umwandlung der Ordnung dieser Institution direkt aus diesen Ereignissen; das waren keine gewaltigen Änderungen, der Prozess ging auf ausgetretenen Wegen über die Zeit von mehr als hundert Jahren. Das Thema und der Zeitrahmen wurden nicht zufällig gewählt. Die bisher erschienene Literatur befasste sich vor allem mit dem Verwaltungsapparat der Exekutive in Preußen im 19. und 20. Jahrhundert, die Ordnung der Selbstverwaltungsbehörden und ihrer Gesetzgebungsorgane, also der Provinziallandtage, fanden kein größeres Interesse der Forscher. Die erscheinenden Arbeiten sprachen nur gewählte Teilelemente der Geschichte des Parlamentarismus in den schlesischen Provinzen im 19. und 20. Jahrhundert an. Unter diesen Umständen fand es der Verfasser für zweckmäßig, das Funktionieren der sich im zweiten Jahrzehnt des 20. Jahrhunderts herausgestalteten personellen Struktur und die grundlegenden Erscheinungsformen der Aktivitäten der Breslauer Abgeordneten in den Provin-ziallandtag der Provinz Schlesien zu untersuchen. Die im Titel erwähnte Evolution der Abgeordneten konnte nicht bewiesen werden, in den drei Perioden des Bestehens des Landtages waren das Stadtbeamte und Vertreter der wirtschaftlichen Elite.

The Right

The current memory struggles about the Chilean dictatorship makes it increasingly relevant to hear a diverse range of voices on the subject. One way of addressing this is to study autobiographical narratives, in which people construct a character to present themselves as the protagonists of a story by taking multiple positions regarding what is remembered. This article presents a study that analyzed the life stories of Chilean people (diverse in their generations, cities, experiences of political repression, political orientations and socio-economic levels) and that distinguished between the positions that they take when presenting themselves as the protagonists of an autobiographical story about the Chilean dictatorship. The results point to salient and recurrent positions that allow people to earn the right to be considered part of the social history of the dictatorship, that involve different definitions regarding those responsible and the victims of what happened, and that unveil a strong family and filial logic of remembering.

The Alcatraz prison, with its picturesque surroundings and fascinating life stories of its inmates, has been the subject of a number of films and publications. The authors take a closer look at the biographies of “Al Capone”, Robert “Birdman” Stroud and “Mickey” Cohen. These legendary American mobsters shared not only a history at “The Rock”, but also a history of neuropsychiatric diseases, ranging from neurosyphilis to anti-social, borderline and obsessive-compulsive personality disorders.

Historical Tradition

Considering the high personal profile and influence of Isabeau of Bavaria during her time as queen of France between 1385 and 1422, it is extraordinary that she has not been the subject of more sustained serious academic study in the past, and that so little is known about her. The woman at the centre of such a turbulent period of Anglo-French war and internal conflict is far too often dismissed in the space of a few paragraphs; even then, what is written about her is often one-sided, two-dimensional and, in many cases, plain wrong. The history of Isabeau of Bavaria so far has largely been a fabricated mixture of gossip and propaganda which has been absorbed into historical tradition and repeated so often that, to many, legend has become indistinguishable from fact. For a mere two decades it has been accepted that: ‘Isabeau ne mérite point la réputation qui lui fut faite’, and it cannot be a coincidence that the few historians who have devoted any time to research on Isabeau all have come to the conclusion that her infamous legacy is not deserved. Yet, the movement for Isabeau of Bavaria's rehabilitation has not been as prominent as it might have been: Vallet de Viriville only wrote a few articles about her, Marcel Thibault never produced the promised second part of his biography and Yann Grandeau sadly died before his research papers could be developed into a complete work. The very first line that Thibault wrote in 1901 makes the claim that: ‘L'histoire vraie et complète d'Isabeau de Bavière n'a jamais été ecrite’ and, despite recent scholarly work, this still seems to be die case almost a century later.

This chapter focuses on Ginzburg's notes about others. In particular, it examines her character analyses from the 1930s, 1940s, and 1970s, where she tries to explain history through character and character through history. Following the model of two literary landmarks from the nineteenth and twentieth centuries—Herzen's My Past and Thoughts (published in installments beginning in 1854), and Mandelstam's The Noise of Time (1928)—she tells not life stories, but stories of personality in which history is reflected. At a time when the official doctrine of Socialist Realism and the strict censorship regime had cut off any genuine intercourse between literature and life, Ginzburg's sketches constitute a gallery of portraits of her contemporaries, and a valuable literary history of her social group. They also represent a defense of “true” intelligentnost' (an orientation toward higher cultural and social values, ideals, and willingness to suffer for these) against the easy lamentations and lacerations unleashed and made more socially permissible by oppressive circumstances.

The Impact

Studies of the history of leisure have emphasized the separation between work and leisure which developed with the growth of industrial society. Only scant attention has been devoted by historians and sociologists of leisure to the continuing links between work and leisure throughout the nineteenth century, as reflected in recreational activities organized by employers for their employees. Such attention as has been paid to the subject has concentrated on industrial workers, largely ignoring the more systematic and extensive provision of leisure in work organizations belonging to the public sector. In an attempt to explore linkages between work and leisure in this emerging sector, the article focuses on the English police force and will address the following questions. What did the authorities aim to achieve in imposing control through leisure? How did the policemen react to such policies and was this strategy successful? What prompted the social and economic elite to become involved in moulding entertainment for police employees, and what was the impact of police leisure on the community at large?

The Relationship

THE AIM OF THIS chapter is to ponder and discuss the relationship between chemistry and mathematics, taking into account some early research we have performed on the subject (Restrepo and Schummer 2014; Restrepo and Villaveces 2012, 2013; Restrepo 2013). In those works we have discussed some criticism and some support throughout history regarding the relationship. We analyzed the opinions of scholars ranging from Venel and Denis Diderot (eighteenth century) to Pierre Laszlo (twentieth century), all of whom are critical of mathematical chemistry. We also analyzed opinions by Brown and Paul Dirac (nineteenth and twentieth centuries, respectively), who sought a fruitful relationship between mathematics and chemistry. We discussed Kant and his double opinion regarding such a relationship as well. (In summary, Kant initially did not consider chemistry to be a science because of its apparent lack of mathematization, an idea Kant supported in the apparent a priori background of mathematics and in the a posteriori one of chemistry. Kant’s revised opinion about the relationship between mathematics and chemistry is totally different, Kant now thinks chemistry contains elements of mathematics.) We have also analyzed Comte’s opinions on the necessity of mathematics for chemistry and for the advancement of the latter (Restrepo 2013). Our work on the philosophy and history of the relationship between mathematics and chemistry is driven by the attention research on the field has gained between the 1960s and the present. A wealth of knowledge in the border between the two sciences has been generated but little attention has been paid to the philosophy and history of the subject (Restrepo and Schummer 2012). Thus in recent years scholars (Balaban 2005, 2013; Basak 2013; Deltete 2012; Gavroglu and Simões 2012; Restrepo and Villaveces 2012, 2013; Restrepo 2013; Schummer 2012; Hosoya 2013; Klein 2013), including the author of the present chapter, have decided to study such a relationship from both a historical and a philosophical viewpoint. One example of the increased interest are the special issues of Hyle, which were dedicated to mathematical chemistry.

Biologic Factors

The Mesozoic-Cenozoic coral Order Scleractinia has been suggested to have originated or evolved (1) by direct descent from the Paleozoic Order Rugosa or (2) by the development of a skeleton in members of one of the anemone groups that probably have existed throughout Phanerozoic time. In spite of much work on the subject, advocates of the direct descent hypothesis have failed to find convincing evidence of this relationship. Critical points are:(1) Rugosan septal insertion is serial; Scleractinian insertion is cyclic; no intermediate stages have been demonstrated. Apparent intermediates are Scleractinia having bilateral cyclic insertion or teratological Rugosa.(2) There is convincing evidence that the skeletons of many Rugosa were calcitic and none are known to be or to have been aragonitic. In contrast, the skeletons of all living Scleractinia are aragonitic and there is evidence that fossil Scleractinia were aragonitic also. The mineralogic difference is almost certainly due to intrinsic biologic factors.(3) No early Triassic corals of either group are known. This fact is not compelling (by itself) but is important in connection with points 1 and 2, because, given direct descent, both changes took place during this only stage in the history of the two groups in which there are no known corals.

This article explores the theoretical and methodological implications of the study of second generation migration through the use of life stories, a narrative and biographical approach. It presents a theoretical contextualisation of life history research in addressing the direction it has taken in the study of migration and identity in order to problematise how the subject and subjectivities in narrative research have been framed by social categorisations such as gender, ethnicity, class as well as social experiences such as trauma, exile, memory and imagination. The paper develops the analytical contribution of researching the biographicity of everyday migrant lives.

Early English

Literature written in England between about 500 and 1100 CE attests to a wide range of traditions, although it is clear that Christian sources were the most influential. Biblical apocrypha feature prominently across this corpus of literature, as early English authors clearly relied on a range of extra-biblical texts and traditions related to works under the umbrella of what have been called “Old Testament Pseudepigrapha” and “New Testament/Christian Apocrypha." While scholars of pseudepigrapha and apocrypha have long trained their eyes upon literature from the first few centuries of early Judaism and early Christianity, the medieval period has much to offer. This article presents a survey of significant developments and key threads in the history of scholarship on apocrypha in early medieval England. My purpose is not to offer a comprehensive bibliography, but to highlight major studies that have focused on the transmission of specific apocrypha, contributed to knowledge about medieval uses of apocrypha, and shaped the field from the nineteenth century up to the present. Bringing together major publications on the subject presents a striking picture of the state of the field as well as future directions.
