Industrial structures are cultural legacy sites in need of protection that carry the social, cultural, historical and architectural properties of their respective eras into the present day. Due to the changing production demands and technology, these structures lost their usage value and have been rendered obsolete. The interventions implemented and new functions provided to ensure the continuity of industrial structures must be in accordance with the character of the building. Our study focuses on the renovation process of one of the first industrial premises of the city of İzmir Alsancak Tekel Storages located in Port Rear Area.

Scholarship on the early modern era in Brazil has been booming since the 1980s. This trend has been influenced theoretically by developments in the social sciences and by the cultural turn in history, by new information technologies of digitalization and the Internet, and by a series of centenaries that have generated institutional support for publications, conferences, and research. This article identifies a number of major themes and questions that have organized much of this historical production, notes the major writings that have moved the field in new directions, and discusses the shifts in emphasis in historical inquiry by concentrating on some of the works that have been seminal in the study of colonial Brazil. Five themes or trends are highlighted: the social history of the major groups within the colony (merchants, cane farmers and sugar barons, slaves, and the free population of color); a complementary cultural approach that has added attention to issues such as private life, public rituals, and subaltern agency; Afro-Brazilian life and culture; a surprisingly rich literature on the indigenous population; and studies of colonial governance.

Before the information society becomes reality, it exits as discourses and arguments. These narratives shape people's expectations, imaginations, and understandings of the concrete form of information society. The article first reviews some recent literature on the social and cultural history of the Internet and information technologies. Then, we will critically examine some prominent discourses on new information technology, especially the Internet, by cultural intermediaries in China. We hope to understand how the different imaginations of information society come into being, their internal diversity, their sources of influence, and how they help imagine a social form in which these technologies shape, belong, and work well.

Статья посвящена истории становления и функционирования общественно-политического движения «Новые скифы», возникшего в начале 2010-х годов на идейной платформе, близкой к евразийцам и неоевразийцам. Движение возглавил один из участников молодежного крыла евразийцев П. В. Зарифуллин, он же стал главным его идейным вдохновителем. «Новые скифы» опираются на наследие Л. Н. Гумилева, но берут за точку отсчета не степняков вообще (тюрок, монгольские племена и др.), а древних скифов. Поэтому свою мировоззренческую задачу они видят в смене вектора российской истории, вместо праславянской основы они обращаются к древнескифской. Анализируя основные письменные труды Зарифуллина, а также учитывая его видеовыступления, автор статьи приходит к выводу об использовании парарелигиозных методов, близких к сектантским, для привлечения единомышленников. Движение имеет деструктивный характер, в идейном багаже его основателя немало русофобии, антицерковных (против православия) высказываний, и в целом этот утопический проект предполагает идейное освобождение территории от всего имеющегося исторического наследия. The article is devoted to the history of the formation and functioning of the social and political movement «New Scythians», which arose in the early 2010s on an ideological platform close to the Eurasians and neo-Eurasians. The movement was headed by one of the members of the youth wing of the Eurasianists P.V. Zarifullin, he also became its main ideological inspirer. «New Scythians» rely on the legacy of L. N. Gumilyov, but they take as a starting point not the steppe inhabitants in general (Turks, Mongol tribes, etc.), but the ancient Scythians. Therefore, they see their ideological task in changing the vector of Russian history, instead of the Proto-Slavic basis, they turn to the Old Scythian one. Analyzing the main written works of Zarifullin, as well as taking into account his video performances, the author of the article comes to the conclusion that para-religious methods, close to sectarian ones, are used to attract like-minded people. The movement has a destructive character, in the ideological baggage of its founder there is a lot of Russophobia, anti-church (against Orthodoxy) statements, and in general, this utopian project presupposes the ideological liberation of the territory from all existing historical heritage.

This study aims to understand the convergences and divergences between the social representations associated with the different terms used to designate sparkling wine in Brazil and in France. For this purpose, we carried a verbal association task to collect the social representation content in Brazil and France. It was word inductor in Brazil: sparkling wine, sparkling wine moscatel, cider, and Champagne. In France, sparkling wine, pétillant wine, crémant wine, and Champagne. There are common terms used to designate sparkling wine that still confuses consumers. The data was analyzed by ascending hierarchical cluster analysis and presented by a dendrogram. This method evidences the dissimilarity between inductors. The results present on a major cluster with all sparkling wines and another with the Brazilian inductor cider. After, we have also the Brazilian inductor moscatel separated, and show a close similarity between French inductors, Champagne and sparkling wine. Even with it being an exploratory research, the results show start to explain the convergences in the French context, due probably to the long history of these products. On the other side, in Brazil, the divergence, principally with cider and moscatel, that are recent in the Brazilian market, compared to sparkling wine and Champagne.

The purpose of this research is to identify the sacred and profane space in the architecture of the Grand Mosque of Demak and identify the factors that influence the formation of the properties of the space. This research uses rationalistic approach and deductive qualitative method. The result of this study reveals that in its use, the spaces at the Great Mosque of Demak are divided into a room that is not worldly (sacred) and the room that is worldly (profane). Space that is (not worldly) is liwan and pawestren. While the worldly room is pawestren and porch. Factors affecting the sanctity of space are physical barriers and holiness of worship space. While sanctity becomes a legitimate requirement of worship activities, so it becomes the main requirement of the sacred or not a place.Keywords: Demak, Mosque, Profane, Sacred ABSTRAKMasjid Agung Demak adalah masjid warisan sejarah selama kerajaan Islam di abad ke-14.

During the last twenty or twenty-five years medieval historians have been much interested in the composition of the English episcopate. A number of studies of it have been published on periods ranging from the eleventh to the fifteenth and early sixteenth centuries. A further paper might well seem superfluous. My reason for offering one is that most previous writers have concentrated on analysing the professional circles from which the bishops were drawn, and suggesting the influences which their early careers as royal clerks, university masters and students, secular or regular clergy, may have had on their later work as bishops. They have shown comparatively little interest in their social background and provenance, except for those bishops who belonged to magnate families. Some years ago, when working on the political activities of Edward II's bishops, it seemed to me that social origins, family connexions and provenance might in a number of cases have had at least as much influence on a bishop's attitude to politics as his early career. I there fore collected information about the origins and provenance of these bishops. I now think that a rather more careful and complete study of this subject might throw further light not only on the political history of the reign, but on other problems connected with the character and work of the English episcopate. There is a general impression that in England in the later middle ages the bishops' ties with their dioceses were becoming less close, and that they were normally spending less time in diocesan work than their predecessors in the thirteenth century.

Abstract The stereotype of people with autism as unresponsive or uninterested in other people was prominent in the 1980s. However, this view of autism has steadily given way to recognition of important individual differences in the social-emotional development of affected people and a more precise understanding of the possible role social motivation has in their early development.
