AbstractThe paper examines the model value of the Mughal period in MARG, the leading art journal of 1940s and 1950s India. It combines a discussion of some of the key historiographical questions of Indian art history and the role played by specific art historians, including European exiles who were among the contributors to the journal, with broader questions on the interaction of national cultural identity with global modernism. In this context, the Mughal period—celebrated in MARG for its synthesis of foreign and indigenous styles—was consistently put forward as an example for contemporary artists and architects. From its inception in 1946 until the 1960s the review favoured a return to the spirit of India's prestigious artistic past, but not to its form. Its editorials and articles followed a clearly anti-revivalist and cosmopolitan line. It aimed at redressing misunderstandings that had long undermined the history of Indian art and surmounting the perceived tensions in art and architecture between a so-called Indian style and a modern, international one.

The development of opera genre in Europe and Russia in the XIX century is of particular interest for the Chinese and Russian art historians. The subject of this article is the history of European and Russian opera in the XIX century. The object of this research is the works of the leading opera composers and the novelties introduced by each of them into the opera genre. The goal consists in examination of the following aspects of the topic: specificity of emergence of opera in Russia in the XVIII century, establishment of the national opera schools – Italian, French, German and their prominent representatives, as well as peculiarities of the Russian opera tradition of the XIX century. The novelty lies in determination of similarities and differences between the European and Russian opera in the XIX century from the perspective of of Chinese art history. The author's special contribution consists in the attempt to discuss the subject matter in the context of Chinese art historians who take interest in the peculiarities of opera of the XIX century. The acquired results demonstrate that the development of opera within the framework of the vocal and musical performance in the XIX century is a unique sociocultural phenomenon, which manifested through the system of spiritual values and spiritual life of the Russian and European nations.

Outside of pediatric medical science, positivistic developmental psychology, or econometrics and demography, childhood researchers highly value and often practice reading childhood as discourse, as a body of representational practice. Unfortunately, “discourse” is a concept whose bibliographic handling is susceptible to two errors: (a) the mistake of using overwrought theoretical distinctions that do not reflect the thick empirical nature of studying childhood as discourse, and (b) the futility of lumping most of the critical study of childhood into one meta-category. In response to this difficulty, this bibliography will pay little attention to whether writers offered an allegiance to discourse analysis as such. Instead, it identifies works that have significantly contributed to our ability to read childhood as discourse. After outlining the foundational works, guides, and invaluable tools of reference for discourse research, this bibliography is organized around the conclusion that our ability to read childhood as discourse stems from three fruitful pathways: the history of language, ideas, and knowledge; literary and art criticism; and cultural studies and contemporary ideology critique.

The paper shows the historical prerequisites and principles of the formation of the methodology for the training of mechanical engineers-metallurgists at the Department of Mechanical Equipment of Ferrous Metallurgy Plants of the Donetsk National Technical University, which is celebrating its 90th anniversary this year. The main events are described, the main directions in the work and achievements of teachers and employees of the department, who made a contribution to the training of mechanical engineers for the metallurgical industry, are presented. The combination of the "theory" and "practice" approaches has proven to be effective in training mechanical engineers in two specializations: design engineers and field engineers. The article presents brief information about the founder of the department – N.S. Shchirenko and his followers – M.Z. Levin, V.Ya. Sedush and G.V. Sopilkin, who determined the activities of the department related to the study of the actual loads acting on the parts of metallurgical machines, physical modeling and design of machines, preparation and carrying out repairs based on technical diagnostics data, failure analysis and determination of the causes of breakdowns, research in the field of management and automation of repair services. Traditionally, for many years, the department has been giving lectures to employees of metallurgical plants and conducting diagnostic schools, seminars, workshops and training courses.

The restoration of the ballet and the classical repertoire in the post-war period was one of the most difficult in the history of Lithuanian ballet. However, with the appearance of ballet master in chief V. Grivickas, his quests and development of a heroic theme in Lithuanian ballet, bringing ballets “Ant marių kranto” (On the Seashore, 1953) and “Audronė” (Audrone, 1957) to the national repertoire laid the foundation for the formation of national art.The purpose of this research was to identify, analyze and bring into the art science the stages of the formation of the national repertoire of the Lithuanian ballet that were not previously actualized.Research methodology. The phenomenon of Lithuanian ballet is considered as a multidimensional subject, which includes the actual stage form, musical and choreographical lexicon, the problems of the formation of the performing school, as well as the historical and cultural context of the creation of stage choreography works in Lithuania 1928–1987. The research uses the principles developed by Russian art criticism to describe and analyze artistic processes and works of choreographic art.This article is a part of the first scientific work of such scale, dedicated to the performances of the national repertoire of the Lithuanian ballet and the problems of its national identity.

Traditionally, art historians have relied on iconography, biography, and connoisseurship as the fundamental means of studying images. These approaches and methods stress the singularity of an image, its authenticity, and its authorship; therefore, they reflect an enduring debt to the humanist tradition of individualism. The image is understood principally as the product of the unique and privileged inspiration of an individual artist and is regarded as a measure of this individual's genius. Iconographical and biographical research secure authorial intent; connoisseurship authenticates the work. While this scholarly apparatus certainly offers the art historian indispensable tools, it is important to understand that its commitment to original intent is singularly ill-equipped to assess the reception of images, the ongoing history of response that keeps images alive within a culture from generation to generation.

This chapter provides a brief history of Internet jurisdiction taking account of key court decisions, legislation as well as developments in the academic thinking on the topic. In doing so, it divides the history of Internet jurisdiction into four relatively distinct phases. The discussion in the chapter highlights facts such as that: (1) law has largely been reactive, responding to technological developments; (2) the level of creativity applied in the search for workable solutions was seemingly higher in the earlier stages than in more recent times; and (3) unsurprisingly, the attitudes of courts, legislators, and the academic community have varied considerably over the time period examined.

Jumbos and Jumping Devils is an original and pioneering exploration of not only the social history of the subcontinent but also of performance and popular culture. The domain of analysis is entirely novel and opens up a bolder approach of laying a new field of historical enquiry of South Asia. Trawling through an extraordinary set of sources such as colonial and post-colonial records, newspaper reports, unpublished autobiographies, private papers, photographs, and oral interviews, the author brings out a fascinating account of the transnational landscape of physical cultures, human and animal performers, and the circus industry. This book should be of interest to a wide range of readers from history, sociology, anthropology, and cultural studies to analysts of history of performance and sports in the subcontinent.
