Spiritual Geography

As a result of removal and custody of Noongar children from their families and lands—forced mobilities and immobilties over decades, and within days and nights—a distinctive and beautiful artistic heritage emerged. Th is material heritage, too, was moved through and from Noongar country. Illustrated by the art of Carrolup, the culture and identity of the Noongar people has been transcendent and a “spiritual geography” mapped. As “heart returns home” to Noongar country, there are opportunities for new approaches to the reconciliation of the past for the future. Th e beauty of the art and the story of Carrolup teach, inspire, and provoke. Th ese mobilities and immobilities hold lessons that continue to travel.

Chapter 5 explores how the foundations for TNGO legitimacy have changed over time, creating imperatives for TNGOs to invest in new capabilities and adopt new practices. In the past, TNGOs derived legitimacy from their espoused principles, representational claims, elite expertise, demonstrated financial stewardship, commitment to charity, and patterns of conformity. More recently, TNGOs themselves have helped to bring about a shift toward new bases for legitimacy that focus on effectiveness, strategy, leadership, governance, transparency, and responsiveness. However, transitioning to the legitimacy practices of the future is complicated by the persistence of an antiquated architecture that still demands that TNGO conform to legacy expectations. Nevertheless, new approaches to enhancing legitimacy provide a wide range of opportunities that invite organizations to proactively align their aspirations with emerging stakeholder expectations.

Time or temporality is a concept by which humans confront the experience of duration. Feminists across the globe have constructed theories, political programs, and fantasies based on an awareness of temporality, usually as a tool to confront long-standing myths, inequality, and oppression. Feminist history is especially concerned with temporality, but so are activists who invoke the conditions of women in the past and present that must be remedied in the future. Temporality is embedded in discourses of the body and sexuality, and in this respect, women are seen as especially time bound. Postmodern theory has provided feminism with new approaches to time—many of them seeking to confound what can be called ordinary restrictions on time and to overturn time’s seeming limitations. Nonetheless, temporality exists only in language that is already gendered, seeming to set limits to a revolt against time.

In recent decades, memory has been increasingly conceptualized, within many theoretical and disciplinary fields, as constituted by social and cultural life. This book seizes the opportunity to develop a genuine interdisciplinary dialogue on the ways in which memory and culture mutually constitute one another. In this understanding, memory takes on a dynamic and constructive form that works at the intersection of a community’s continuity with the past and innovation for the future. This book similarly builds on key ideas from the past in order to arrive at new approaches for integrating culture and memory into unified theoretical frameworks. This introduction sets the groundwork for these developments by exploring the different meanings assigned to the terms “culture” and “memory,” outlining key assumptions about memory built upon in this volume, and providing a preview of its chapters.

Possibilities of the Periodic Table exploration are considered. It is shown that the four-valued logic of quantum measurements may be used for the classification of chemical elements. The application of the quantum scales with information on the position of chemical elements with the known sequence numbers inside them allows to find the new aims for metrological investigations and to develop new approaches in the quantum metrology.

Although public history is becoming increasingly international, the field remains difficult to define and subject to some criticism. Based on sometimes long-established public practices, public history displays new approaches to audiences, collaboration and authority in history production. This article provides an overview of public history, its various definitions and historiography, and discusses some of the main criticisms of the field. Public history is compared to a tree of knowledge whose parts (roots, trunk, branches and leaves) represent the many collaborative and interconnected stages in the field. Defining public history as a systemic process (tree) demonstrates the need for collaboration between the different actors – may they be trained historians or not – and aim to focus on the role they play in the overall process. The future of international public history will involve balancing practice-based approaches with more theoretical discussions on the role of trained historians, audiences and different uses of the past.

Resumen: Aunque la historia pública se está haciendo cada vez más internacional, el campo sigue siendo difícil de definir y permanece sujeto a un cierto grado de crítica. Sobre la base de prácticas públicas -en algunas ocasiones establecidas desde hace mucho tiempo- la historia pública refleja nuevos enfoques acerca de las audiencias, la colaboración y la autoridad en la producción de la historia. Este artículo ofrece una visión general de la historia pública, sus diversas definiciones, su historiografía, y aborda algunas de las críticas principales que ha recibido. La historia pública se compara con un árbol del conocimiento cuyas partes (raíces, tronco, ramas y hojas) representan las muchas etapas colaborativas e interconectadas que configuran este campo. La definición de la historia como un proceso sistémico (el árbol) plantea la necesidad de que colaboren los distintos actores -sean historiadores cualificados (formados en la universidad) o no- y se centra en la función desempeñada dentro del proceso en su totalidad. El futuro de la historia pública internacional requerirá un equilibrio entre unos enfoques basados en la práctica y unos debates más teóricos sobre el papel de los historiadores formados en la universidad, los públicos y los variados usos del pasado.Palabras clave: Historia pública, Historiografía, Colaboración, Memoria, Ética, Formación.Abstract: To define and subject to some criticism.
