I clarify Hegel’s role in the Europeanization of philosophy over the course of the 19th century. I begin with an investigation of the way non-Western philosophy was conceptualized in Europe before, and after, I move on to a consideration of the debates about philosophy that emerged in late 19th century China because of European attempts, such as that of Hegel, to circumscribe the geographical and civilizational scope of this discipline. How may we see the emergence of a distinctly modern, generally nationalist, discourse about “Chinese philosophy” within China as a reflection of larger global processes then taking place?

Agoraphobia emerged as a named disorder in the 1870s. Since then a wide variety of models ‐ both clinical and non‐clinical ‐ have been devised to explain it. This paper describes four of these models to demonstrate and explore the significance for mental health promotion of their different conceptualisations of agoraphobia in relation to the city, to public space and to the individual. Of particular interest is the shift in the gendering of agoraphobia: while late 19th century accounts tended to feature men, by the mid 20th century the archetype of someone who experiences agoraphobia had become female. The implications of this variance and subsequent decisions about intervention and cure, it is argued, demonstrate the importance of conceptualisation in debates about mental health promotion.

Abstract. The city of Guimarâes (Portugal) was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2001 and European Capital of Culture in 2012. From the 14th to the 19th century it was characterized by its Portuguese architecture using traditional construction techniques and materials, and known for its leather, metallurgical and cutlery industry. This study examines two former tannery factories dating from the 19th century, and occupying a sizeable portion of the historic centre of the city. They are located close to the Couros river, their main source of water, but also where the tannery waste produced by the tanks where the skins were tanned, is deposited. This text focuses on three main concepts - rehabilitation, reuse and sustainability - through the analysis of two historical moments. The first of these, the past, is viewed through a timeline of events recorded in plans, photographs, documents, and historical facts. A formal spatial comparison of these records and the present buildings shows how the present use of these spaces and their respective functionalities can be observed in parallel with the past. This before and after comparison shows a progression from industrial activities to a cultural valorization of an architectural, urban and environmental space, as well as the development of the industry in a new context evoking the collective memory of the place.

Goldmisth’s hallmarks, particularly city ones used within the territory of the PolishLithuanian Commonwealth, have been the object of interest of numerous scholars since the late 19th century. The reason being that not only do they facilitate the attribution of definite historic silverware pieces to a definite goldsmithery centre, but they are also helpful when the results of stylistic analysis prove too wide too define a more precise time of their creation. Puncheons used to stamp city hallmarks on silver, as is proven by the preserved historic pieces, depending on the intensity of use and degree of wear, were in service either for a shorter time: a year or several years, or a longer time, sometimes some dozen years. For this reason it is hard or almost impossible to ascertain which Guild’s Elder, alternating yearly, authorized to stamp the city hallmark, actually marked the product. The problem disappeared only when in Gdansk the duty to stamp a peculiar countersignature, namely an additional control sign, was introduced in 1730. The hallmark presented in the paper is a previously unrecorded version of the city of Gdansk’s hallmark, whose use can now be dated to 1683–1688, though it was in actual use for a shorter time. However, already with such-defined chronology of the use of hallmarks Nos. 5A–E, a more precise dating of historic pieces of Gdańsk goldsmithery is possible.

This article considers the formation of hiking in the Russian Empire and Europe in the late 19th century. Its socio-cultural context is also defined. Particular attention is paid to the person of Mykhailo Bernov as one of the founders of hiking in the Russian Empire and Europe and his multifaceted activities in the development of communication between peoples, social actualization of knowledge about the world. Biography, information about popularization activity and publishing activity of Mykhailo Bernov are also given.In the first part of this study, the route of Mykhailo Bernov’s journey from France to Spain, and then through Spain, Algeria and the Sahara in 1892–1893, was reconstructed on the basis of his “travel notes” “Spain, Algeria and the Sahara” (St. Petersburg, 1899) and periodical data.Mykhailo Bernov left detailed descriptions of nature, countryside and major cities of Spain, monuments of history, culture and art, accompanied by historical excursions, interpretation of their own names. Special attention is paid to the peculiarities of Spanish opera and theatrical life.It is concluded that sincere interest and respect for local traditions, thorough general training allowed Mykhailo Bernov to create in his notes a broad and colourful canvas of life of the country and people of Spain in the late 19th century, to capture the features of national culture and character. Bernov’s “travel notes” are based on direct communication with the Spanish common people, representatives of the elite and the administration, acquaintance with folk culture, examples of high art and literature. In his notes he makes comparisons of Spanish people with other nations. Bernov tried to understand Spain and its people, sought common socio-cultural features and values, and explained the features of “otherness” by nature, religion, state foundations, the course of history, and so on.Mykhailo Bernov’s notes on his travels in Spain as a source, in our opinion, contain a lot of useful and interesting information for researchers on the history of hiking, monuments, archaeology, ethnography, etc.

ResumoPonta Grossa (PR) foi fundada em 1862 e se localiza na divisa entre o Primeiro Planalto Paranaense (Embasamento Cristalino) e Segundo Planalto Paranaense (rochas ígneas e sedimentares da Bacia do Paraná), apresentando um patrimônio urbanístico especial, construído a partir da geodiversidade local que é característica. Um levantamento das rochas utilizadas na urbanização do centro antigo do município foi realizado, a partir de um mapa de 1920 e pesquisa bibliográfica correlacionada ao levantamento de campo. O conjunto histórico se constitui de um complexo ferroviário instalado em fins do século XIX, praça matriz e arredores, conforme o mapa que apresenta os limites do município até então. As rochas reconhecidas nesse conjunto são provenientes de antigas pedreiras da região e de outras localidades a partir do possível transporte por trem. Pavimentos antigos, blocos de cantaria e detalhes arquitetônicos das edificações tombadas como patrimônio foram analisados e, entre os resultados, um mapa esquemático foi elaborado compilando os dados disponíveis. Muitas calçadas e construções históricas mostraram informações sobre o passado que presenciaram, mas comumente são negligenciadas como fonte de informação e boa parte vem sendo destruída ou descaracterizada. Este estudo aponta a necessidade de preservação e manutenção adequada em algumas calçadas e outros detalhes arquitetônicos. A informação levantada sobre as rochas presentes nas edificações ou sobre as possíveis áreas fonte dos materiais pode subsidiar ações de restauro ou preservação da memória no planejamento urbano, além de constituir um campo para educação patrimonial. Palavras Chave: rochas, patrimônio construído, Ponta GrossaAbstractSTONES OF THE HISTORIC HERITAGE BUILT OF PONTA GROSSA, PR. The city of Ponta Grossa (PR) was founded in 1862 and is located on the border between Paraná Plateau (Crystalline) and Second Plateau of Paraná (sedimentary and igneous rocks of the Paraná Basin), presenting a special urban heritage, built from the local geodiversity. A research about rocks used in the area of old Center was carried out, from a map of 1920 and bibliographical research correlated the field survey. The heritage buildings are constituted by a railway complex installed in the late 19th century, the main church square and its surroundings, as the map used exposes the limits of the municipality (1920). The rocks recognized in this set are from ancient quarries of the region and other places possible coming by train. Antique flooring, masonry blocks and architectural details of old buildings were analyzed and, among the results, a schematic map was put together by compiling available data. Many sidewalks and historical constructions showed information about the past, but commonly are neglected as a source of information and much has been destroyed or mischaracterized. This study points out the need for preservation and proper maintenance on some sidewalks and other architectural details. The information up on the rocks present in the buildings or on carries(possible source areas of materials) can help actions of restoration or memory preservation in urban planning, in addition to be a field for heritage education.Keywords: dimension stones, cultural heritage, Ponta Grossa
