Henri Cartier-Bresson's (French, 1908-2004) career spanned more than fifty years during which he was involved with the surrealist movement, produced work for various picture magazines, helped found Magnum Photos Agency and published numerous photobooks. While his body of work is often discussed in terms of either fine art photography or photojournalism, prior to 1950s these elements tended to be isolated to separate venues. This thesis is concerned with Henri Cartier-Bresson's 1955 book The People of Moscow, a photographic survey of the Soviet people. It considers the significance of this book as a venue that combined the two aspects of Cartier-Bresson's photography, the formal aesthetics and the documentary content and thereby marked a turning point in his career. The essay describes and analyzes the elements of the book's design, such as the layout, sequencing and use of text by comparing them to the earlier Cartier-Bresson monographs, as well as to the use of the photographs from the book in Life and Paris Match.

This introduction outlines how the idea of a national economy subject to governmental management was constructed in Britain out of the dissolution of the unmanaged economy of the pre-1914 era. It argues that a key turning point came in 1931 with the departure from the gold standard and the introduction of protection. But, it is argued, it was only from the 1940s that national economic management was combined with ‘managing the people’, through major efforts to shape public opinion on the economy. This chapter also summarizes the development of the major kinds of economic statistics which underpinned both facets of economic management.

The Family

George Kon came to British science from an unusual background. He was born in St Petersburg on 18 February 1892, the only child of his parents. His father was a cultured and talented member of an old Polish-Jewish family, an excellent mathematician and linguist and the son of a portrait painter; his mother, Marie Fleuret, was French. His father was a banker in a responsible position, and the family was comfortably off. George was a delicate child and was brought up with great care and devotion by his mother and an old nurse. In the candid and penetrating autobiographical notes which he left, he remarks ruefully, ‘It is clear that I was unnecessarily coddled and spoilt and this was to prove a handicap in later life’. He was educated privately by a succession of instructors; a French governess, two Polish tutors (one, Adolf Dygasinski, an author of some note, who gave him a love for natural history) and a German governess. When he was ten, the family moved to Tientsin in North China where his father had become manager of the Russo-Chinese Bank. He spent three happy years in China where his liking for natural history developed into a passion for butterfly collecting. He published two short notes in the Entomologische Zeitschrift between the ages of sixteen and seventeen. In Tientsin he first came into contact with the people whose nationality he was to adopt and was taught English by a ‘worthy though hideous’ lady, the daughter of a missionary. A later move was to Vladivostok, ‘magnificent country for shooting and ideal for butterfly-collecting’, and here the family made friends with Sir Robert Hodgson, then British Vice-Consul. The first turning point in Ron’s life came when Hodgson persuaded his parents to send him to Cambridge. Accordingly, in 1909, he passed the Russian equivalent of Matriculation and, after some coaching in Greek at a rectory near Wisbech, he went up to Caius to read medicine.

Introducción: La experiencia migratoria tanto interna como internacional está compuesta por un conjunto de situaciones de peligros y riesgos que ponen en jaque la integridad física y emocional de las personas. El objetivo de este artículo es documentar las experiencias de los/as migrantes ante altas temperaturas y su salud tanto de quienes se dirigen de México o Centroamérica hacia los Estados Unidos de América como los que se desplazan al interior de México rumbo a los campos agrícolas del noroeste.Método: Este trabajo se basa en un estudio de corte cualitativo por medio de entrevistas semiestructuradas sobre el riesgo climático y la salud en migrantes internacionales e internos en la frontera norte de México, particularmente en el estado de Sonora.Resultados: La migración es un punto de inflexión en la vida de las personas entrevistadas. Existe una asocación cualitativa entre la masculinidad y el hecho de emigrar; la noción de proveduria e idea de la aventura son cruciales para entender el proceso migratorio. El afrontar distintos peligros como la violencia y los factores medioambientales generan daños físicos y emocionales.Discusión y/o Conclusión: Existe un proceso de relativización del riesgo climático, en este caso, la minimización de los daños en la salud por las altas temperaturas. La idea de la autosuficiencia e independencia es parte de las identidades de género en los varones migrantes entrevistados. Introduction: The migrational experience, both internal and international is composed by a combination of hazardous and risk situations that threaten the physical and emotional integrity of individuals. The goal of this article is to document the experiences and the health of migrants facing high temperatures when heading from Mexico or Central America towards the United States of America, as well as those that transit through the interior of Mexico towards the agricultural fields of the Northwest.Method: These findings are based on a qualitative method study that used semistructured interviews that delve into weather and health risks in international and internal migrants on the Mexican northern border, particularly in the state of Sonora.Results: Migration is a turning point in the lives of the people interviewed. There exists a qualitative association between masculinity and the act of migrating; the notion of being a provider and the idea of adventure are crucial for understanding the migrational process. Facing different hazards like violence and environmental factors generates physical and emotional damage.Conclusion: There exists a relativization process of weather risks, on this case, the minimization of the damage to health due to high temperatures. The idea of selfsufficiency and independence is part of the gender identities of the migrant males interviewed.
