The five Nordic countries - Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway and Sweden - share a common cultural history. Four of them are closely related linguistically. Through the ages they have also been politically linked in a variety of combinations, causing both dramatic confrontations and inspiring nationalistic movements not without bearing on the museum history of the countries. The most lasting political unions were those between Denmark, Iceland and Norway (1380- 1814; Iceland stayed with Denmark until 1944) and between Finland and Sweden (1323-1809). In times of aggression from the 'outside' a loyalty between the Nordic countries based on the common history has also appeared and in the years after 1945 formal organisations have been established to promote cooperation in various fields of common interest.

The aim of this article is to present the roles of Miloš Marten (1883–1917) in the Czech–French cultural events of the first decade of the 20th century in the background of his contacts with Hanuš Jelínek (1878–1944). The first part of the article deals with Marten’s artistic and life experience during his stays in Paris (1907–1908). The consequences of those two stays to the artist’s life and work will be accentuated. The second part takes a close look at Miloš Marten’s critique of Hanuš Jelínek’s doctoral thesis Melancholics. Studies from the History of Sensibility in French Literature. To interpretate Marten’s reasons for such a negative criticism is our main pursued objective. Such criticism results not only from the rivality between Czech critics oriented to France, but also from different conceptions of the role of critical method and the role of the critic and the artist in the international cultural politics. The third part concludes with the critics’ „reconciliation‟ around 1913 by means of the common interest in the work and personality of Paul Claudel.

"Selling the Storied Stone Crab" examines the intersection between eating and the environment in South Florida using the stone crab, a highly-prized local delicacy, and the world-renowned restaurant that purportedly first began serving them, Joe's Stone Crab, as lenses through which to analyze regional identity, conceptions of place, and the social, cultural, generational and class distinctions that have arisen through consuming the crustacean over the twentieth-century. The work is both an institutional and corporate history of Joe's Stone Crab and an environmental and cultural history of the stone crab. In an area defined by striking transience, tourism, and massive growth, the essay argues that people envisioned themselves becoming indigenous to South Florida's unique natural and cultural landscape through the ingestion of a food that they believed could only be attained in the region. But the common perception that most gourmands hold--that the stone crab can only be procured in South Florida--is in itself a myth. The stone crab can be purchased worldwide, it is not strictly indigenous to South Florida, nor did Joe's Stone Crab first serve the decapod. Nevertheless, "Selling the Storied Stone Crab" concludes that these points are inconsequential for most visitors and residents who continue to relish both the crustacean's sweet meat and the myths that surround its eating.

Histories of life and the recovery of personal images bring us to Charles Baudelaire’s reflection on the artist as “a man of the crowd and the world. The association made by the French poet refers to the way of thinking of the “present” time as an essential material for recording and immortalizing a particular time and cultural history. “The world’s man and” are related to the common man and the daily heroisms not found in the pages - and screens - of a mass industry that annihilates singularities. Enrapturated by this conception one can think of everyday history and present history. History of those who are alienated from it.The project “Photographed History, Shared History” is a blog-album of the daily life of residents of Cotia, centered on history fragments of photographs chosen and narrated by the central characters of the moment captured by them. The blog contains part of texts transcribed and “transcriados” by the Communication and Expression students of the Business Management and Industrial Production Management courses at Fatec Cotia. With this exercise, not only these residents but their interviewers became memory builders. Sherazades provoking the desire to hear, read and see the characters that - once again taking Baudelaire - allow a portrait of Modernity.Coinciding with this proposal, “Memories that do not fade - despite the Alzheimer”, photographic exhibition that brings together memories of people from the city with the disease.This communication intends to present these projects, analyzing these memories and the importance of narrating.

The history of speech-language pathology as a profession encompasses a tradition of knowledge generation. In recent years, the quantity of speech science research and the presence of speech scientists within the domain of the American Speech-Hearing-Language Association (ASHA) has diminished, even as ASHA membership and the size of the ASHA Convention have grown dramatically. The professional discipline of speech science has become increasingly fragmented, yet speech science coursework is an integral part of the mandated curriculum. Establishing an active, vibrant community structure will serve to aid researchers, educators, and clinicians as they work in the common area of speech science.
