The past tense can only be studied through the present. For the study of the past, one can draw conclusions about past events by taking the present objects or present-day memoirs as residuals of the past. The arguments on which conclusions are drawn are based on observation of current things, events and relationships. "1Since time immemorial, humans have been trying to discover the past. With the development of knowledge, humans started searching for evidence related to the knowledge of the past and facts were proved with the appropriate evidence. Historians also have to use various evidence for factual presentation of knowledge related to the past. Archaeological material has become the mainstay of scientific and factual study of the history of the past. The major source of archaeological material is human creativity and artistic expression. Whose utilitarian form comes to us in the form of man-made pottery. Pots are used by historians as part time and society as special. भूत काल का अध्ययन केवल वर्तमान के माध्यम से ही किया जा सकता है। बीते हुए समय के अध्ययन के लिये वर्तमान वस्तुओं अथवा वर्तमान में विद्यमान संस्मरणों को भूतकाल के अवषेषों के रुप में लेकर उनसे भूतकाल की धटनाओं के बारे में निष्कर्ष निकाला जा सकता है। वे तर्क जिनके आधार पर निष्कर्ष निकाले जाते वे वर्तमान वस्तुओं, घटनाओं तथा सम्बन्धों के अवलोकन पर आधारित होते हैं।’’1अनादि काल से मानव अतीत की खोज के लिए प्रयत्नषील रहा है।़ ज्ञान के विकास के साथ मानव ने अतीत के ज्ञान सम्बधीं साक्ष्य खोजने प्रारम्भ किये और उपयुक्त साक्ष्यों से तथ्य प्रमाणित किये जाने लगे। इतिहासकार को भी अतीत सम्बंधी ज्ञान की तथ्यात्मक प्रस्तुति के लिये विभिन्न साक्ष्यों का प्रयोग करना पड़ता है। पुरातात्विक सामग्री अतीत के इतिहास के वैज्ञानिक एवं तथ्यपूर्ण अध्ययन का प्रमुख आधार बन गई है। पुरातात्विक सामग्री का प्रमुख स्त्रोत मानव की सृजनात्मकता और कलात्मक अभिव्यक्ति है। जिसका उपयोगितावादी स्वरुप मानव द्वारा निर्मित मृद्भांड के रुप में हमारे सामने आता है। मृद्भांडों को, इतिहासकार काल विषेष तथा समाज विषेष के रुप में प्रयोग करते हैं।

The historian of pre-nineteenth century Africa…cannot get far without the aid of archaeology.Nevertheless, historians have good reason to be cautious about historical generalisations by archaeologists and about their own use of archaeological material…: it would be a rash historian who totally accepted the conclusions of Garlake and Huffman with the same simple-minded trust as I myself accepted the conclusions of Summers and Robinson.In the beginning, historians of Africa put great store by archeology. Was its great time depth not one of the distinctive features of the history of Africa, a condition that cannot be put aside without seriously distorting the flavor of all its history? Did not the relative scarcity and the foreign authorship of most precolonial written records render archeological sources all the more precious? Did not history and archeology both deal with the reconstruction of human societies in the past? Was the difference between them not merely the result of a division of labor based on sources, so that historical reconstruction follows in time and flows from archeological reconstruction? Such considerations explain why the Journal of African History has regularly published regional archeological surveys in order to keep historians up to date.

AbstractIn the course of my research on Cyrenaican funerary sculptures, such as the remarkable ‘Mourning Women’ and ‘Funerary Divinities’ and the distinctive local funerary portraits, I realised to my dismay that a large part of this archaeological material has been or is currently on sale on the international art market. The number of sales of these sculptures on the art market demonstrates the extent of looting over the past twenty years in the Greek necropoleis of Libya. These sales show in particular that the degree of tomb destruction has increased exponentially during the past ten years. This preliminary discussion has three main objectives: 1) to alert and to inform the world about this destruction in order to help end the looting; 2) to describe the operational modes of the illicit trade in antiquities on the art market; and 3) to study and document these sculptures, which are important evidence for understanding the culture and history of ancient Cyrenaica.

I tell every body it [the Life] will be an Egyptian Pyramid in which there will be a compleat mummy of Johnson that Literary Monarch.—James Boswell (qtd. in Wendorf 105)Michel de Certeau thinks about reading as an archaic practice: “Readers are travelers; they move across lands belonging to someone else … despoiling the wealth of Egypt to enjoy it themselves” (174). Embedded in Certeau's romanticization of reading is a history of how Egypt has been read: as wealth to be plundered, as endlessly available texts, as the ruin of time. Pose against this lostness Friedrich Nietzsche's contention that all philosophy is just Egyptianism, the nostalgia for and reification of a past tense without a dynamic sense of history, so many “conceptual mummies” (35). Nietzsche reminds us to consider not lost origins but the possibility of endings, not the loss of history but its death—not death in the sense of apocalypse as Percy Bysshe Shelley's “now” and the release of new time in Prometheus Unbound but death as the archaic, the ruin, the mute, as Egypt's lost “now” and the end stop of archaic time. I will pursue the problems of the archaic, poetic ground, and translative readings Romantically through Hegel's Egyptianized account of aesthetic practices, for Nietzsche's post-Romantic Egyptianism mummifies thought. Although Hegel's Egyptianizing also concerns the dead matter of the past, his account renders that matter as dynamic. His revivification of the archaic Romantically accounts for its contaminative potential as a mysterious text whose translation can unearth a curse, and/or a promise, for the new.

In History of Sexuality 1, Foucault tried to represent—as allusion, satire, dream—the difficulty of finding new speech for telling the lives of sexed bodies. On his account, triumphal claims to have liberated both sex and the speech about it do no more than restage existing regimes for sexual regulation. They dress up biopower in bolder colors. Foucault’s effort at analysis should be recalled by anyone trying to write queer theology—much more, to write about it in the past tense. Whatever queer theology has managed to do, it has not yet been able to sustain new forms for speech about bodily pleasures in lived time. One theological writer who exerted herself to write into this difficulty was Marcella Althaus-Reid. This chapter looks in her chief works for telling moments of compositional failure—which are, not coincidentally, the moments of greatest promise. These passages suggest how to write queer theology more intentionally, especially in the direction of the indefensible boundary between theology and what is now called “literature.”

In his 1909 work ‘Rites De Passage’, Arnold van Gennep acknowledges that a ritual often contains ‘rites within rites’. So, it was with the ancient ritual of the Irish wake, at the center of which was another ritual, that of the keen, the Irish funeral lament. The past tense is used tentatively here, as in this article the author explores the resilience of the ritual and how, rather than becoming extinct, the keen seems to spend periods of time underground before erupting again in a new form, attuning itself to a more contemporaneous social situation. Drawing on ethnographic and bibliographic research undertaken between 2010 and 2018, the author traces some of the history of the keen within the ritual of the Irish wake and funeral and gives instances of how it is being reconfigured in the 21st century. This continuation of the ritual, albeit in a new format, seems to speak to a deep emotional and spiritual need that may not be satisfied by more conventional religion in Ireland. Finally, the author considers the keen’s relevance and place in Irish society today.

It is a commonplace of textbook treatments of mood and modality to point out that many languages employ ‘past tense’ forms to express not only temporal but also modal remoteness (i.e. unreality or potentiality) from the ‘here-and-now’, e.g. Lyons (1977: 809–23), Palmer (1986: 208–15). The same observation, mutatis mutandis, may apply to certain modal forms, which, given an appropriate context, can also refer to the past. The verb forms in English conditional sentences such as that in (1):(1) If Mary went to the bar, she would drink too much.provide an excellent example of both types of ‘extended’ usage; cf. the two possible readings of (1) given in (2):(2)(a) If (ever) Mary went to the bar, she used to drink too much.(b) If Mary were (ever) to go to the bar, she would drink too much.

Pain And Suffering

Pain and suffering are as old as mankind, but so are compassion and clemency. In whatever mythology, the god of war is not always cruel, vengeful and ferocious. There have always been good Samaritans — even when the parable was first told it was spoken in the past tense. The history of humanitarianism runs parallel to that of mankind. Cruelty and kindness are opposites but inseparable.

Abstract On the private and independent art scene, the male and female artist and curator addressing socio-political issues are recurring presences, explained by the art historian Beti Zerovc through the spreading of curating accompanied by a politicized discourse on how art and its institutions can contribute to building a better, more democratic, more egalitarian and freer world1. In this article, I will focus on male and female artists who address sensitive issues in society either to make them visible or to offer possible alternatives, using performance as a means of artistic expression due to its immaterial character and specific immediacy it implies. I propose a brief account of the history of performance in the field of visual arts, to review the role given to art in a close relationship with society, in a transversal and close relationship with the viewer, in a relationship with artistic institutions which is often critical. Finally, I will present a series of artistic projects carried out in the past ten years in Romania, to explore the dynamics of art - society - artist - spectator - institution and to identify the sensitive issues involved and the forms, values, lifestyles that art performance projects that I propose.

The archaeology of childhood challenges the mindset of the student and researcher, both in terms of collected archaeological material, and when they go out into the field to make hypotheses about where the settlements have been in the past, and who the people were who once lived there. In this chapter, the intention is not to present scientific results based on childhood studies over the years. It is to encourage the curiosity of everyone interested in searching for the innermost core of humanity and what it meant to become human in past societies. Different stages of childhood are covered, as well as the changing views of the innocence of children, and distinctiveness from adults.

ABSTRACTIn this article, I describe a new research project on York English (YrkE), a variety in northeast England. In addition to providing the first systematic linguistic documentation of YrkE, I conduct a quantitative analysis of a linguistic feature which not only is well documented in the literature, but also recurs pervasively in varieties of English worldwide—was/were variation in the past tense paradigm. Two separate tendencies are observed, neither of which can be explained by any unidimensional notion of analogical leveling of the paradigm: (1) nonstandard was in existential constructions, and (2) nonstandard were in negative tags. Both trends can be tracked in apparent time in which the contrasting behavior of men and women reveals that women are leading both types of linguistic change. In other contexts, nonstandard was is a synchronic remnant which can be traced to earlier stages in the history of English.
