This article seeks to uncover the historical data embedded in the context in which it is customary to view Purathinai grammars as mere rules for literature. Human history involves a series of changes from the social status of the hunter to the social civilization of possession. The grammars from Vetsi to Vanchittinai trace such a historical continuum. Extrinsic grammars set out the reasons for the beginning of the wars, the activities of the Wetsi, Karanti departments, the history of the labor and Noci departments. This article reveals that the stories told in grammatical texts such as Tolkappiyam to Exodus Venpa Malai take up the social history of possession and the reasons for the wars.

The survival of a concept is generally only secured at the price of an intellectual odyssey in the course of which it is transformed out of all recognition. The nineteenth century fortunes of the idea of solidarity exemplify this axiom only too strictly. It became the victim of a multiplicity of ingenious puns and metaphors as well as outright malicious distortions that rendered a simple, technical word, drawn from the sphere of jurisprudence, at once emotive and obscure, influential and diffuse. As the eminent and caustic critic of the twentieth century, Julien Benda, formulated this vital problem of the fate of concepts, “pour l'historien des idées des hommes, la réalité ce n'est point ce qu'ont été les idées dans l'esprit de ceux qui les ont inventées, mais ce qu'elles ont été dans l'esprit de ceux qui les ont trahies… car il est clair qu'une doctrine se propage d'autant plus largement qu'elle est apte à satisfaire un plus grand nombre de sentiments divers.” This pessimistic view has been all too frequently verified in human history.

It is awfully significant to enquire how the lower casts Dalit women have read about socio-economic and cultural aspects of Dalit colony life, that have changed our life and society. I argue that the colonies serve as an index of their inferior social status. It serves more of their ghettoisation than for their empowerment. It further distances them from society and helps to appropriate their labour. This is the continuation of the age-old practice of caste discrimination and deprivation that kept them away from the mainstream while appropriating their labour for the general development of society. This paper focuses on the rereading of social norms which evolved through my probing of the social history of ‘caste colony’ as part of my research, especially in Dalit women.

Marxist Interpretation

Vere Gordon Childe’s theory of craft specialisation was an important influence on Arnold Hauser’s book The Social History of Art, published in 1951. Childe’s Marxist interpretation of prehistory enabled Hauser to establish a material foundation for the occupation of the artist in Western art history. However, Hauser’s effort to construct a progressive basis for artistic labour was complicated by art’s ancient connections to religion and superstition. While the artist’s social position and class loyalties were ambiguous in Childe’s accounts of early civilisations, Hauser consigned artists to the lower echelons of society. This relegation did not imply that Hauser had a low regard for artistic skills. Quite the opposite, the artist’s inferior social status enabled Hauser to distance artists from the ruling class, and consequently, to separate artistic handiwork from the dominant ideology that works of art manifested.

The territory of the Starodub regiment is unique in historical terms. Being the center of the region of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, it was one of its lands able to gain a foothold in the Getman Ukraine. At the same time, Starodubshchina is now the only part of the Hetman region that is part of the Russian Federation. Thus, the region has incorporated traditions, culture and legal customs of all three states, on the border of which it is now located. Despite the considerable interest in the history of the Starodub regiment as a whole, the social history of ordinary rural and urban residents remains poorly understood. The aim of this work is an attempt to illuminate the social situation of the pospolits: townspeople and peasants of the Starodubsky regiment from the moment the Cossack administration was established in the region in 1654 until the population of the region was subordinated to general imperial Russian standards. And also to reveal the characteristic differences of this region. The article was created on the basis of the analysis of various, including little-studied documents stored in the archives of Belarus, Ukraine and Russia, as well as the works of Russian and Ukrainian scientists. The process of establishing city self-government in Starodub and the formation in its midst of a unique elite – noble bourgeois is shown. Many representatives of this social group went through the process of evolution from urban dwellers to Cossack foreman and the subsequent Russian nobility over the indicated period. In addition, the social status of rural residents of the Starodub regiment is described. Which with the establishment of the Cossack administration received personal freedom, but by the end of the 18th century completely lost her. The examples of residents of specific settlements show the methods that the peasants resorted to trying to avoid dependence on large landowners, as well as the process of distinguishing between the pospolits and the Cossack class. At the same time, emphasis was placed on the characteristic differences in the social status of urban and rural residents of the Starodub regiment from other lands that were part of the Russian Empire. The totality of the facts revealed in this way reinforces the main thesis about the complexity and versatility of this Belarusian-Russian-Ukrainian region.

<p><strong>Abstract</strong></p><p>This study examines the concept of crafting which means becoming an expert in an activity. Specializing in a field, in order to facilitate the life, backs as early as the first human settlements in human history. Crafting is a phenomenon in which the person makes the craft in the best possible way for its own goodness. However, it has been gone through some transformations since its formation. The history of crafting includes some milestones such as institution of crafting, its unification and its transformation after the Industrial Revolution. The most essential one of those transformations has been experienced after the Industrial Revolution and it has become difficult to define the crafting followingly. At the present time, crafting has been diminished to the status of a simple worker. In this work, which the historical transformation of crafting is held, It will be examined respectively: the historical roots of crafting, the social status of crafting, professional organizations that hold crafting altogether, the effects on crafting brought by new economic order of industrial revolution and the ideas of Richard Sennett on crafting in order to evaluate crafting in our present society. Hereby, I will try to reach the definitions of crafting that are able to address our today’s society by taking references from the roots of archaic crafting phenomenon.</p><p><strong>Öz</strong></p><p>Bu çalışmada, bilinçli olarak yapılan bir eylemde ustalaşma/uzmanlaşma anlamına gelen zanaatkârlık kavramı incelenmiştir. Hayatı kolaylaştırmak adına herhangi bir alanda çalışma ve bu alanda beceri kazanarak ustalaşmak, insanların bir arada yaşamaya başlaması kadar eskidir. Zanaatkârlık, kişinin kendi iyiliği için uğraş verdiği şeyi mümkün olan en iyi şekilde yapmasıdır. Fakat bu durum ortaya çıktığı günden günümüze gelene kadar çeşitli dönüşümlere uğramıştır. Zanaatkârlığın tarihsel serüveni, zanaatkârlığın toplumsallaşması, örgütlenmesi ve sanayi devrimi sonrasında biçim değiştirmesi şeklinde önemli dönüm noktaları barındırmaktadır. Bu dönüşümlerin en köklüsü Endüstri devrimi sonrasında yaşanmış ve günümüz toplumunda zanaatkârlığın tanımlanmasını zorlaştırmış, zanaatkârı ise vasıfsızlaştırarak sıradan işçi konumuna getirmiştir. Zanaatkârlığın tarihsel dönüşümünün inceleneceği bu çalışmada sırasıyla: zanaatkârlığın tarihsel temelleri, zanaatkârlığın toplumsal statüsü, zanaatkârları bir arada tutan meslek kuruluşları, endüstri devriminin getirdiği yeni ekonominin zanaatkârlığa etkileri ve günümüz toplumunda zanaatkârlığı değerlendirebilmek adına Richard Sennett’in zanaatkârlık hakkındaki fikirleri incelenmiştir. Böylelikle, kadim zanaatkârlık olgusunun köklerinden referans alarak zanaatkârlığın günümüz toplumuna hitap edebilecek tanımlarına ulaşılmaya çalışılmıştır.</p>

This collection of essays, drawn from a three-year AHRC research project, provides a detailed context for the history of early cinema in Scotland from its inception in 1896 till the arrival of sound in the early 1930s. It details the movement from travelling fairground shows to the establishment of permanent cinemas, and from variety and live entertainment to the dominance of the feature film. It addresses the promotion of cinema as a socially ‘useful’ entertainment, and, distinctively, it considers the early development of cinema in small towns as well as in larger cities. Using local newspapers and other archive sources, it details the evolution and the diversity of the social experience of cinema, both for picture goers and for cinema staff. In production, it examines the early attempts to establish a feature film production sector, with a detailed production history of Rob Roy (United Films, 1911), and it records the importance, both for exhibition and for social history, of ‘local topicals’. It considers the popularity of Scotland as an imaginary location for European and American films, drawing their popularity from the international audience for writers such as Walter Scott and J.M. Barrie and the ubiquity of Scottish popular song. The book concludes with a consideration of the arrival of sound in Scittish cinemas. As an afterpiece, it offers an annotated filmography of Scottish-themed feature films from 1896 to 1927, drawing evidence from synopses and reviews in contemporary trade journals.

Textualizing the memory(ies) of physical and cultural encounter(s) between Self and Other, travel literature/writing often combines subjectivity with documental information which may prove relevant to better assess mentalities, everyday life and the social history of any given ‘timeplace’. That is the case with Growing up English. Memories of Portugal 1907-1930, by D. J. Baylis (née Bucknall), prefaced by Peter Mollet as “(…) a remarkably vivid and well written observation of the times expressed with humour and not little ‘carinho’. In all they make excellent reading especially for those of us interested in the recent past.” (Baylis: 2)
