Новаторское учебное пособие по истории фольклористики и этномузыкологии, созданное преподавателями Санкт-Петербургской государственной консерватории имени Н. А. Римского-Корсакова, состоит из двух частей. Основу первой части составляет прошедший многолетнюю апробацию лекционный материал (семь разделов соответствуют главным этапам формирования и развития российской этномузыкологии на протяжении XVIII–XIX веков); во вторую часть пособия вошли биобиблиографические словарные статьи, посвященные деятелям культуры, внесшим свой вклад в становление отечественной музыкальной фольклористики. Обе части, дополняя друг друга, воссоздают историко-культурный контекст, без которого трудно осмыслить причины широкого общественного интереса к традиционному музыкальному наследию России. Особое внимание уделяется важнейшим научным направлениям, достижениям исследователей в области теории и методологии изучения фольклора. Рассматривается масштабная деятельность представителей разных слоев населения по сбору и накоплению фольклорного материала, особенности использования песенного и инструментального фольклора в произведениях композиторов, в исполнительской практике музыкантов. В пособии дается обзор наиболее показательных нотных публикаций — от любительских до сугубо научных. Ценность учебного издания рецензент также видит в обильном цитировании первоисточников и внушительном списке литературы. В рецензии содержится несколько предложений по уточнению отдельных положений; автор выражает уверенность в необходимости включения данного пособия в качестве обязательной литературы для многих гуманитарных специальностей и направлений подготовки в сфере высшего образования. An innovative textbook on the history of the study of folklore and ethnomusicology created by teachers of the N. A. Rimsky-Korsakov St. Petersburg State Conservatory consists of two parts. The first part is based on the lecture material thoroughly used for many ears. The seven sections of the lecture part correspond to the main stages of formation and development of Russian ethnomusicology during the XVIII–XIX centuries. The second part presents bibliographic entries dedicated to culture figures who have contributed in the study of Russian musical folklore. Both parts, complementing each other, recreate the historical and cultural context which allows us to understand the reasons for the wide public interest in the traditional musical heritage of Russia. The textbook describes in sufficient detail the formation of ethnomusicology. Special attention is paid to the most important scientific areas, achievements of the researchers in the field of theory and methodology. The publication describes large-scale activities of representatives of different segments of the population to collect and accumulate folklore material. The authors reveal the specifics of using folk songs and instrumental melodies in the works of composers, in the performing practice of musicians. The textbook contains an overview of the most significant musical publications — from amateur ones to purely scientific. The reviewer also sees the value of the educational publication in the abundant quotation of primary sources and an impressive list of literature. The review contains a number of proposals on clarifying certain provisions. The reviewer is confident that this textbook should be included in the list of compulsory literature of higher humanitarian education.

Abstract:Karel Štrekelj (1859–1912), a prominent Slovenian folklorist and philologist, published among other a scientific edition of Slovenian Folk Songs and was also the first to introduce the term »folklore« to Slovenian humanities. He focused his scientific attention on dialects, etymology, historical grammar, and history of literature but his greatest contribution was to the field of folklore studies and ethnology. While he published the collection of folk songs, the manuscripts of folk tales have remained unpublished. These tales had been sent to him by collectors from different parts of the Slovenian ethnic territory. Although Štrekelj did intend to publish them in a critical edition of Slovenian folktales and legends his untimely death prevented him from starting to organize this extensive material. He already created some basic criteria for such an arduous task, and intended to contact his Czech colleague Jiři Polívka in Prague for further instructions. In comparison with other major yet older collections of this type, for example those published by Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm, Aleksander Nikolaevič Affanasev, and Vuk Karadžić it may be said that Slovenian folktales from Štrekelj's legacy are unquestionably of great importance for the Slovenian nation though.

Standard Chinese

Xining, the capital of Qinghai province, is an especially valuable location for observing the spread and influence of Standard Chinese, or Putonghua, for at least two reasons. First, the dialect’s history of contact with non-Sinitic languages, mostly Tibetan and Mongolic languages, created an older linguistic stratum that differs markedly from other Mandarin dialects, indeed with most all Chinese dialects, in clearly identifiable ways, so that comparisons between Standard Chinese and variations within the Xining dialect reflect unambiguous cases of standard cum dialect language contact. Second, the demographic history of the region, including large-scale migrations of Chinese-speaking people from other provinces, created a socio-cultural context in which the promotion of Standard Chinese would likely find fertile ground. This paper will show that the combination of these two factors has created a situation in which the old Xining dialect is rapidly disappearing. In its place is not Standard Chinese, per se, but an interdialect, a compromise variety stripped of the most obvious dialect features but clearly distinct from Standard Chinese. The differences will be shown to exist in the phonology, lexicon and syntax of the dialect and that the more highly educated members of the community are leading the changes toward the New Xining dialect. While Standard Chinese is shown to have been a powerful force in the creation the New Xining dialect, it has not completely replaced the local dialect.

Large Scale Project

In the early 1890s Mahler’s attempts to interest the German music publisher, B. Schott’s Söhne, in his large-scale works proved fruitless and the owner, Dr Ludwig Strecker, was content to publish a collection of songs, the 14 Lieder und Gesänge. Even for a major firm, with ample opportunity to use income from popular works to cross-subsidize more costly and risky ventures, the publication of new, innovative symphonies was unattractive. For Mahler one temporary solution emerged unexpectedly thanks to two Hamburg patrons who funded both the performance and publication of his Second Symphony.However, this was hardly a satisfactory arrangement, as no orchestral parts were printed, and it was only thanks to the intervention of an old friend, Guido Adler, that Mahler finally saw his first four symphonies, Das klagende Lied and the Wunderhorn songs, published in practical and performable editions. The firm that undertook this large-scale project was not primarily a music publisher at all, but a printing company, the Erste Wiener Zeitungs Gesellschaft, and until recently the details of its agreement with Mahler were unknown. With the discovery in 2014 of a manuscript draft of the firm’s contract with Mahler this important step in the dissemination of Mahler’s music can be better understood.The article presents a transcription and translation of the draft contract, and a commentary, drawing on other published and unpublished primary sources, that seeks to set the document in the wider contexts of the history of music publishing in Vienna and of the Erste Wiener Zeitungs Gesellschaft in particular, Austrian copyright legislation, and the publication of Mahler’s music.

In the XV and XVI centuries, trading tradition has been done by Javanese community along the north coastal of Java. But, the trading tradition getting dimmer in line with the strategy of economic centralization carried out by Sultan Agung prohibiting the people to trade in foreign countries. In the XIX century, that’s econdition is change, Mangkunegara IV restore the entrepreneurial tradition through various strategies. In addition, to restoring the entrepreneurial tradition of Javanese society, Mangkunegara IV also broke the old tradition of <em>kepriyayinan</em> (Javanese aristocrate) to want to do business, not just live in pleasure as breeds nobility or gentry class. Therefore, reviewing to the business strategy of Mangku­negaran IV becomes important, as part of the history of economic develop­ment Javanese community. By using the historical method and a multi­dimensional approach, through a variety of primary sources such as Mangku­negara IV literature, the study found that the Mangkunegaran IV’s business strategy conducted by building a centers of sugar cane farm and modernization of sugar factories on a large scale, so as to obtain additional revenue for the Mangkunegaran IV family.

Pada abad XV dan XVI, tradisi berdagang telah dilakukan oeh masyarakat Jawa di sepanjang pantai utara Jawa. Akan tetapi tradisi tersebut se­makin meredup seiring adanya strategi sentralisasi ekonomi yang dilakukan oleh Sultan Agung yang melarang rakyatnya berdagang ke manca negara. Pada abad XIX, Mangkunegara IV mengembalikan tradisi wirausahawan tersebut melalui berbagai strategi. Selain itu, Mangku­negara IV juga mendobrak tradisi “<em>kolot kepriyayinan</em>” Jawa agar mau melakukan bisnis, bukan hanya hidup dalam ke­senangan sebagai <em>trah</em> bangsawan. Karena itu, mengkaji strategi bisnis keluarga Mangkunegaran IV menjadi penting, sebagai bagian dari sejarah perkembangan ekonomi masyarakat Jawa. Dengan metode penelitian sejarah dan pendekatan multidi­mensional, melalui berbagai sumber primer seperti karya-karya sastra Mangkunegara IV, penelitian ini menemukan bahwa strategi bisnis keluarga Mangkunegaran IV dilakukan dengan membangun pusat-pusat perkebunan tebu dan modernisasi pabrik gula secara besar-besaran, sehingga memperoleh pen­dapatan tambahan bagi praja. Kesukses­an bisnis ini menunjukkan kepada para bangsawan Jawa bahwa dia adalah seorang raja yang memiliki jiwa <em>entrepreneur­ship </em>yang kuat.</p>

Latvian literary terminology and folklore studies terminology have many connections. Both areas have been comparatively understudied; especially, systemic and comprehensive analysis of folklore terminology should be carried out in broader research, which would require in-depth studies of emergence, loan, choice, use, inheritance, and succession of terms. This article mostly deals with historical or chronological aspect, providing a view into some essential lexicographic, monographic, and other resources of terms. The article aims to provide a view into the development of Latvian terminology in the 20th century (more precisely – from the beginning of independent Latvia until the restoration of independence after the Soviet occupation), paying attention to several resources of terminology. To reach the aim, a number of essential term sources of the field, which have had an impact on future terminology use and development, have been selected; characteristic of the resources is given, and specific examples are provided to illustrate the tendencies of the field’s terminology development. The publications, personalities, events, and discussions of the time help to understand what has happened in the newest terminology development period. The article draws from the following essential resources of terminology, which have had an impact on the Latvian folklore studies terminology: “Latvian Encyclopaedia” (Latviešu konversācijas vārdnīca, 1927–1940), “Introduction into Latvian Folk Poetry” (Ievads latviešu tautas dzejā, 1940) by Ludis Bērziņš (1870–1965), “General Conceptions about Folk Poetry” (Pamatjēdzieni par tautas dzeju, 1937) by Anna Bērzkalne (1891–1956), “Latvian Folklore” (Latviešu folklora, 1948) by Jānis Niedre (1909–1987), the Terminology Commission’s 8th Bulletin (1950), “Language of Latvian Folk Songs” (Latviešu tautasdziesmu valoda”, 1961) and “Works in Folklore Studies” (Raksti folkloristikā, 1968) by Arturs Ozols (1912–1964), “History of Latvian Folklore Studies” (Latviešu folkloristikas vēsture, 1989) by Ojārs Ambainis (1926–1995). The theoretical framework of the research consists of the studies in terminology theory and history by Māris Baltiņš and Valentīna Skujiņa, and the folklore studies history research by researchers at the Institute of Literature, Folklore and Art of the University of Latvia (Māra Vīksna, Dace Bula, Rita Treija, Anda Kubuliņa, Baibas Krogzeme-Mosgorda). Also, the minutes of the Latvian SSR Academy of Sciences Terminology Commission available at the Latvian Academy of Sciences archive have been studied.

History Of

The subject of this research is art magazines of the late XIX &ndash; early XX centuries and their role in cultural life of the turn-of-the-century era. Based on the comprehensive and systemic culturological approach, which encompasses historical-cultural method, textological analysis, scientific classification (analysis of primary sources, secondary data), structural-typological and other methods of scientific analysis, the author advances the general characteristic of the specificity of the new format of periodicals as an intrinsically valuable phenomenon of the Silver Age. Special attention is given to the prerequisites for creation of art magazine, as well as the cultural context of its emergence. The symbolist magazine did not only promote new trends in art and literature, but also formed the unique cultural phenomena. Being a platform for uncompromising and innovative findings, the symbolist periodicals have become a launching ground for such phenomena as symbolist journalism, symbolist criticism, new illustration, as well as advanced methods of arrangement of printed publications. The novelty of this research lies in determination, classification and detailed description of specific features that distinguish art magazines of the Silver Age, as well as revelation of a range of phenomena generated by this format of periodicals. It is demonstrated that besides the fact that art magazines of the turn of the century have become a unique diary of the era, which most clearly reflected its mentality, as well as evolution of art and thought of the late XIX &ndash; early XX centuries, they largely determined the cultural paradigm of the Silver Age. The presented materials and conclusions can be used in lectures and seminars on the history and theory of culture, the history of Russian journalism, development of the course &ldquo;Art Magazines of the turn of the XIX &ndash; XX centuries&rdquo;, as well as contribute to broadening of theoretical representations of the culture of the Silver Age.

Isaac Newton’s Chronology of Ancient Kingdoms Amended, published in 1728, one year after the great man’s death, unleashed a storm of controversy. And for good reason. The book presents a drastically revised timeline for ancient civilizations, contracting Greek history by five hundred years and Egypt’s by a millennium. This book tells the story of how one of the most celebrated figures in the history of mathematics, optics, and mechanics came to apply his unique ways of thinking to problems of history, theology, and mythology, and of how his radical ideas produced an uproar that reverberated in Europe’s learned circles throughout the eighteenth century and beyond. The book reveals the manner in which Newton strove for nearly half a century to rectify universal history by reading ancient texts through the lens of astronomy, and to create a tight theoretical system for interpreting the evolution of civilization on the basis of population dynamics. It was during Newton’s earliest years at Cambridge that he developed the core of his singular method for generating and working with trustworthy knowledge, which he applied to his study of the past with the same rigor he brought to his work in physics and mathematics. Drawing extensively on Newton’s unpublished papers and a host of other primary sources, the book reconciles Isaac Newton the rational scientist with Newton the natural philosopher, alchemist, theologian, and chronologist of ancient history.
