Most of the films about the revolution and the Soviet­Ukrainian war (1917–1921), made by AUPhCA in 1928–1930, proved to be uninteresting and did not gain big success among the audience. These films were made mostly by the methods of propaganda, posters, without much depth into the essence of the phenomenon, the script was built on a certain pattern — a parallel demonstration of good, brave guerrillas and scornful whites, i.e. on the one hand stupid bourgeois, mocking and torturing their class enemies, on the other hand — smart, heroic, friendly representatives of working class. According to some contemporaries, films about the events of the Soviet­Ukrainian war required other forms, a different embodiment. From naked propaganda, from stencil scheme to a more in­depth identification of the moments of class struggle, from a simplified external reflection of events, to a more specific individualization of the participants of the events. However, these films played an important role in the development of adventure cinema.

"The fundamental transformations through the Romanian state passed since the Revolution of December 1989, have also put their mark on the legal system. For this reason, there have been major changes in the content of administrative law. However, the regulation of the territorial-administrative subdivisions survived the change of political regime, due to Law 2/1968. Moreover, regulations on administrative-territorial subdivisions are also found in Law 215/2001 and in the 1991 Constitution, revised in 2003. This has led to problems of interpretation. Thus, on the one hand, we need to identify who has the right to constitute administrative-territorial subdivisions, and on the other hand, it must be seen whether the answer to the first question, leads to a possible interpretation that would be unconstitutional. At the same time, administrative-territorial subdivisions have created problems of interpretation regarding their legal capacity. Through this article, we have proposed to look at the issues mentioned above."

This chapter examines the ways in which Bolshevism was shaped by the émigré milieu. On the one hand, the chapter treats Lenin’s new movement as a response to the failures of émigré politics. On the other hand, the early Bolsheviks continued the august émigré tradition of living the revolution and depended on the unique space of the colonies as well as the encounters that they generated to define their new revolutionary program. Although the emergence of Bolshevism infused émigré society with new energy, it also intensified its discontents. The Bolsheviks’ polemical stance on the so-called Jewish question proved particularly destructive.

Historians of the Russian labor movement have been slowly chipping away at the stereotypes about Russian workers created by generations of intellectuals quick to generalize from eye-catching impressions. The result has been the stereotyped, bipolar working class. On the one hand is the “peasant yokel” who too frequently resorts to the violent and mindless behavior indigenous to his original rural swamp. On the other hand, we find the skilled urban worker, sometimes a “half-literate intellectual,” sometimes a labor aristocrat who disdains to cooperate with his socialist mentors. Daniel Brower's look at labor violence attempts to help reshape the familiar stereotype by exploring the cultural roots of the Russian worker's predilection for violence and by showing that such behavior is less mindless and more political than its critics have accepted. By not adequately specifying the contours and especially the frequency of violence, however, he leaves us ultimately with the old image of a Pugachevshchina in the factories. Brower in effect takes the pieces of the stereotype he has chipped away and glues them back in approximately the same pattern.

1 listopada 1790 r. w Londynie został opublikowany jeden z najważniejszych tek­stów osiemnastowiecznej brytyjskiej myśli politycznej. Autorem dzieła znanego pod skróconym ty­tułem jako Rozważania o rewolucji we Francji był Edmund Burke — jeden z najbardziej znanych wigowskich posłów zasiadających w Izbie Gmin. Choć Burke w Rozważaniach występował przede wszystkim jako obrońca brytyjskiego porządku i zwyczaju politycznego, to zarówno w tym dziele, jak i wielu następnych tekstach można zauważyć, że przedmiotem jego troski była także wspólnota europejska. Wydaje się, że autor Rozważań jako je­den z pierwszych przedstawicieli ówczesnego świata polityki dostrzegł w rewolucyjnej gorączce roz­przestrzeniającej się z Paryża groźbę dla całej Europy. Owo niebezpieczeństwo Burke porównywał, z jednej strony, do fali barbarzyństwa, która zalała Rzym i zniszczyła cywilizację antyczną w okresie wędrówki ludów, z drugiej zaś — przypisywał mu cechy rewolucji religijnej, podobnej do tej, któ-ra podzieliła kontynent w XVI i XVII stuleciu. Było to więc w jego opinii podwójne zagrożenie, które mogło zniszczyć zarówno podstawy materialne Europy, jak i jej kościec kulturowy.A counter-revolutionary idea of Europe. Edmund Burke’s reflections on European identityOn 1st November 1790, one of the most important texts of the 18th century British political thought was published in London. The author of the work, known under the shortened title as Reflections on the Revolution in France, was Edmund Burke, one of the best-known Whigs sitting in the House of Commons. Although in Reflections Burke was above all a defender of the British order and political custom, it can be noticed, both in this work and many subsequent texts, that he was also concerned for Euro­pean community. It seems that the author of Reflections was among the first representatives of the world of politics at that time who viewed the revolutionary fever that was spreading from Paris as a threat to the whole Europe. Burke compared this danger, on the one hand, to the Barbarian wave that had flooded Rome and destroyed the antique civilisation in the Migrations Period, while on the other hand he ascribed it characteristics of a religious revolution, similar to the one that divided the continent in the 16th and 17th centuries. Thus, it was, in his opinion, a double threat. It could destroy both the material foundations of Europe and its cultural core.

In the quarter century since the collapse of East Germany, the uncountable reflections that flower the media landscape inevitably turn to music. And when they do, they waffle. There is something untimely, and uncanny, about this waffling. It is as if the tensions structuring music's role in the heady days of the late 1960s were being therapeutically replayed twenty years later: 1968 yet again as the fetish object. On the one hand, music here is the fantasmatic sound of revolution itself, of truth speaking to power, and power falling to pieces under the weight of truth's irrefutable audibility, equal parts libido and righteousness. On the other hand, it is the traumatic reminder of failure, and the disenchanting premise that this “society of the spectacle” was not so powerful after all—that the revolution, in merely appearing, failed to show up. Judging from the examples of Hasselhoff, Rostropovich, and Bernstein, this chapter argues that music seems woven perfectly into a master's discourse: a process of shoring up a sovereign, of suturing itself to an empty signifier, producing a split subject, and precipitating an excessive enjoyment in the form of an object of desire.

  The stylistic features of isolated sound are an integral part of the inner rhythmicity of the text, and the inner rhythmicity constitutes a part of the acoustic structures that help reveal the vocal implementation to embody the imagination and achieve the image in the text at large. The criterion we adopted in our analysis of the stylistic features of the isolated voice attributed to the poetical work “Fragments of a Woman” by Suad Al-Sabbah is the ratio of whispered sounds on the one hand to its counterparts of fricatives and explosive sounds on the other hand, and the extent to which this ratio exceeds its ratios in normal speech. We were able to observe that the proportions of the presence of different sounds in the poems are commensurate with the emotional and moral connotations within them. The percentage of whispered sounds in the poems exceeded its proportion in ordinary speech when the poet was dominated by the feelings of weakness and fear for challenging the established social constants and norms or as a result of the feelings of sorrow and sadness that the poet lives in the life of repression and injustice. Nonetheless, this percentage was notably lower when the poet covered her revolution by expressing her pride in her homeland or background. The presence of the explosive sounds in a higher percentage compared to fricatives might be attributed to the fact that the entire poetic work is an all-encompassing revolution against numerous constants and long-standing concepts of the Eastern society, and one of the means of expressing the revolution linguistically is the high-rate of explosive sounds.

The circumstance that on the one hand the daily sustenance of labour power costs only half a day's labor, while on the other hand the very same labor power can work during a whole day, that consequently the value which its use during one day creates is double what he [the capitalist] pays for that use, this circumstance is without a doubt a piece of good luck for the buyer but by no means an injustice [Unrecht] to the seller [the worker].[T]he surplus product [is] the tribute annually exacted from the working class by the capitalist class. Though the latter with a portion of that tribute purchases the additional labor power even at its full price, so that equivalent is exchanged for equivalent, yet the transaction is for all that only the old dodge of every conqueror who buys commodities from the conquered with the money he has robbed them of.

Written by charles frederick briggs and published in the may 1853 issue of Putnam's monthly while Briggs was an editor there, “Elegant Tom Dillar” mediates a persistent tension in United States culture between working-class nationalism and highbrow culture. As a cofounder and coeditor of Putnam's, Briggs must have negotiated this tension often as he made managerial decisions at the magazine, which promised quality native literature, earned “unparalleled respect” in the literary and publishing world, and delivered some of the best American writing of the century. On the one hand, Briggs was a cultural nationalist. He supported copyright legislation, he repeatedly lampooned Harper's for its use of pilfered English material, and he enthusiastically endorsed the magazine's policy of publishing only original American work. On the other hand, as a former conscience Whig, he condemned annexation and the extension of slavery, valued elite culture, and was wary of jingoistic nationalism that could be used to foment working-class resentment.

Abstrak Penelitian ini membahas tentang peranan pangreh pradja di tanah partikelir di Batavia. Pendapat para ahli selama ini lebih banyak mengungkapkan bahwa Pangreh Pradja menjalani peranan dualisme, disatu pihak kedudukannya merupakan bagian dari pemerintah Kolonial Belanda, namun dipihak lain kedudukannya merupakan bagian dari struktur kekuasaan tuan tanah. Karena itu Pangreh Pradja lebih condong untuk memperhatikan kepentingan tuan tanah. Ketika terjadi pemberontakan di tanah partekelir, Pangreh Pradja menjadi sasaran kemarahan petani, seperti kasus pemberontakan di Condet dan Tanggerang. Wilayah Batavia hampir keseluruhannya merupakan tanah partikelir, yang menarik di tanah ini bahwa tidak semuanya di tanah partikelir Batavia terjadi pemberontakan petani. Dari penelitian penulis dapat diketahui bahwa tidak semua pada tanah partikelir Batavia terjadi pemberontakan,  disebabkan lokasi tanah partikelir di Batavia dekat dengan pemerintah pusat. Karena itu masalah keamanan dan kesejahteraan penduduk didalamnya menjadi sorotan pemerintah, yang membuat  Pangreh Pradja kinerjanya sangat disorot pemerintah. Hal lainnya yang menyebabkan tidak terjadinya pemberontakan di tanah partikelir adalah: Untuk kasus tanah partikelir Kebayoran, yang diangkat menjadi kepala desa adalah ulama yang dihormati---Abstract This article discusses about the role of pangreh pradja in tanah partikelir Batavia. Most of the experts tend to exposed that Pangreh Pradja had dualism role, on the one hand his role as part of Dutch colonial, on the other hand he also had role as the landlord. That is why he tent to show his attention for the landlord.  When the revolt broke out in tanah partikelir, Pangreh Pradja became the victim of the farmer hatred, such as the revolt in Condet and Tangerang. Most of the Batavia were nearly became Tanah Partikelir, where not all the land in Batavia had occured revolution done by farmers. From this article, the writer found that not all tanah partikelir in Batavia had occured revolution. It is becaused the location of tanah partikelir Batavia was near from central government. Therefore, the security and prosperity of people became the main focus of the government, which attract government for Pangreh Pradja role. The other things which avoid revolution in tanah partikelir Batavia: for this case Tanah Partikelir Kebayoran, which was appointed as the head of village was the respected ulama. So that the revolution can be avoided.DOI : 10.5281/zenodo.556798
