La Biblioteca Histórica y el Museo de Historia de Madrid atesoran el borrador autógrafo de la partitura, el manuscrito original del libreto y los figurines diseñados para el estreno en 1864 de la zarzuela Pan y Toros, compuesta por Francisco Asenjo Barbieri, una de las más célebres del repertorio musical español de mediados del siglo XIX. El presente artículo arroja datos inéditos sobre este patrimonio documental y artístico escasamente difundido, asegurando al pintor Manuel Castellano como autor de los figurines y localizando las fuentes de las que se sirvió para ambientar esta obra en la España de Carlos IV. Del mismo modo, se analizan dos diseños para el escenario del segundo acto, conservados en el libreto original de José Picón. A lo largo del artículo se trazan vínculos entre este repertorio dedicado al espectáculo y otras obras literarias y pictóricas inspiradas en ese mismo periodo histórico, demostrando cómo ese imaginario goyesco acabó siendo determinante para la configuración de la imagen nacional de España en las artes del siglo XIX.AbstractThe Historical Library and the Museum of History of Madrid hoard the score, the original libretto and the dress designs for the 1864 premiere of the zarzuela Pan y Toros composed by Francisco Asenjo Barbieri, one of the most famous pieces of the Spanish musical repertoire from mid-19th century. This article generates unpublished data on this scarcely disseminated heritage, assuring the painter Manuel Castellano as author of the dress designs and locating the sources used to set this work in the Spain of Charles IV. In the same way, two designs are analyzed for the setting of the second act preserved in the original libretto by José Picón. Throughout the article, several links are drawn between this repertoire dedicated to the show and other literary and pictorial works inspired by that same historical period, as well as demonstrating how that goyaesque imaginary became decisive for the configuration of the national image of Spain in the arts of the nineteenth century.

Although the noted nineteenth-century Danish-Jewish writer Meïr Goldschmidt (1819–1887) made his entry into literature with a novel on Jewish themes, his later novels treated non-Jewish subjects, and his Jewish heritage appeared progressively to recede into the background of his public image. Literary historians have paid little attention to his complex perception of his own Jewishness and have made no effort to discover the immense significance he himself felt that Judaism had for his life and for his literary works. Moreover, no previous study has comprehensively treated Goldschmidt’s far-reaching network of interrelationships with an astonishing number of other major Jewish cultural figures of nineteenth-century Europe. During his restless travels crisscrossing Europe, which were facilitated by his phenomenal knowledge of the major European languages, he habitually sought out and associated with the leading Jewish figures in literature, the arts, journalism, and religion, but this fact and the resulting mutually influential connections he formed have been overlooked and ignored. This is the first focused and documented study of the Jewish aspect of Goldschmidt’s life, so vitally important to Goldschmidt himself and so indispensable to a complete understanding of his place in Danish and in world literatures.

ResumenEn este artí­culo se efectúa un balance historiográfico acerca de los estudios de corte diacrónico que tratan la zona de Pachuca y Real del Monte en el actual estado de Hidalgo. Encontramos que uno de los principales temas analizados por los estudiosos es el de la minerí­a, y la temporalidad que abarcan dichas investigaciones en su mayorí­a se concentra en el siglo XIX; los especialistas han dejado de lado la historia virreinal de la región en temas anexos a la minerí­a, aunque no exclusivamente mineros, como la participación indí­gena en el abasto de los centros mineros y la presencia de población afrodescendiente, por mencionar algunos temas. Se propone la ampliación del alcance de las investigaciones a asuntos no explorados en la región como el comercio y abasto doméstico de los trabajadores ligados a la mina.Palabras clave: Historiografí­a, Pachuca-Real del Monte, Comercio indí­gena. AbstractIn this article a historiographical balance is made on the studies of diachronic cut that treat the area of Pachuca and Real del Monte, in the present state of Hidalgo. We find that one of the main topics analyzed by the scholars is mining, and the temporality that these investigations cover mostly is concentrated in the nineteenth century, but has left aside the viceroyal history of the region in issues attached to the Mining, but not exclusively mining, such as indigenous participation in the supply of mining centers and the presence of Afro-descendant population, to mention some issues. It is proposed to extend the scope of the investigations to issues not explored in the region, such as the trade and domestic supply of workers linked to the mine.Key words: Historiography, Pachuca-Real del Monte, Indigenous trade. [1] Licenciada en Etnohistoria, maestra y doctora en Antropologí­a Social; Profesora Investigadora de la Universidad Autónoma del Estado de Hidalgo.

History Of

The opening chapter introduces the broader story that the next seven chapters will tell, and makes clear that this is a study of policing which culminates in the mass black incarceration of late 1860s Baltimore. The book has two primary arguments: first, that Baltimore’s police institutions were from the onset shaped by a liberal order that assumed criminality as the essence of black freedom; and second, that the criminalization of black freedom in turn encouraged white police power. The introduction also defines three concepts central to these arguments – police, property, and manhood – while situating the book in existing historiography, especially that of 19th century criminal justice and American liberalism. Finally, it suggests that this history of the nineteenth-century is an antecedent to today’s stories of racialized police brutality and mass black incarceration.

The 19Th Century

Treating the least well researched period in the history of English, Richard Bailey's groundbreaking book is an admirable success: wry in its humor, clear in its science, and compelling in its humanity. More than that, it is a sterling achievement of research, a model for all who write about the history of spoken or written English, a benchmark of scope and insight. Bailey's calculations suggest that, in the course of the 19th century, the number of English speakers increased from 26 million to 126 million, helping to make the century the “most transforming” period in the history of English: it was transformed “from merely a language to a valuable property, firmly incorporated into capitalist economies. Far more than at any earlier time, English could be bought and sold. It was even possible to earn one's livelihood by working with it”.

This article analyses one Christian welfare institution and discusses the effects of its spatial location on the social position of its clients. By examining the mechanisms of inclusion and exclusion, it focuses on the early history of the Asylum of Alsterdorf for imbecile and feeble-minded children (Asyl für schwach- und blödsinnige Kinder zu Alsterdorf) in nineteenth-century Hamburg. The analytical perspective follows the concept of inclusion–exclusion as presented in Niklas Luhmann’s systems theory. It is argued here that a religious welfare institution may enclose its clients in a hyper-inclusive system for theological reasons and that, consequently, institutions of this kind contribute to the social exclusion of their clients.

Summary This article examines the legacy of Charles Montagu, Lord Halifax, within the history of science. Although he was President of The Royal Society from 1695 to 1698, Montagu is best known for his political career and as a patron of the arts. As this article shows, Montagu's own scientific interests were limited and his chief significance to the history of science lies in his friendship with a later President, Isaac Newton. It is argued, firstly, that their relationship had important, though indirect, consequences for The Royal Society and, secondly, that its treatment by historians of science has been revealing of changing views of the status of science and its practitioners. Particular attention is given to the approaches of the first generation of Newtonian scholars and biographers in the 19th century.

The Way

This paper outlines the history of knowledge about the muscular sense and provides a bibliographic resource for further research. A range of different topics, questions and approaches have interrelated throughout this history, and the discussion clarifies this rather than presenting detailed research in any one area. P art I relates the origin of belief in a muscular sense to empiricist accounts of the contribution of the senses to knowledge from Locke, via the idéologues and other authors, to the second half of the nineteenth century. Analysis paid much attention to touch, first in the context of the theory of vision and then in its own right, which led to naming a distinct muscular sense. From 1800 to the present, there was much debate, the main lines of which this paper introduces, about the nature and function of what turned out to be a complex sense. A number of influential psycho-physiologists, notably Alexander Bain and Herbert Spencer, thought this sense the most primitive and primary of all, the origin of knowledge of world, causation and self as an active subject. Part II relates accounts of the muscular sense to the development of nervous physiology and of psychology. In the decades before 1900, t he developing separation of philosophy, psychology and physiology as specialised disciplines divided up questions which earlier writers had discussed under the umbrella heading of muscular sensation. The term ‘kinaesthesia’ came in 1880 and ‘proprio-ception’ in 1906. There was, all the same, a lasting interest in the argument that touch and muscular sensation are intrinsic to the existence of embodied being in the way the other senses are not. In the wider culture – the arts, sport, the psychophysiology of labour and so on – there were many ways in which people expressed appreciation of the importance of what the anatomist Charles Bell had called ‘the sixth sense’.

Resumo: A geografia é uma disciplina que traz consigo uma longa tradição gráfica, que é parte de seu próprio nome (algumas interpretações etimológicas prevalecem o significado de gráfico ou desenho do sufixo graphia sobre o de descrição textual).No entanto, nos últimos dois séculos, a Geografia se consolidou como uma disciplina eminentemente literária e isso acabou impactando na produção e uso de imagens na geografia escolar. Em oposição a isso, no final do século XIX, foi amplamente aceito que o ato de desenhar (especialmente a cópia e o mapeamento) era um exercício útil para pensar, interpretar e internalizar conteúdos geográficos.Neste artigo, analisamos como as habilidades gráficas promovidas na geografia escolar foram variadas com base em experiências, materiais e atividades desenvolvidos nas instituições escolares (considerando que é lá e quando as habilidades expressivas e comunicacionais são aprendidas) entre o final do século XIX e meados do século XX. Resumen: La geografía es una disciplina que carga con una larga tradición gráfica, que forma parte incluso de su propio nombre (algunas interpretaciones etimológicas hacen prevalecer el sentido de gráfico o dibujo del sufijo graphia sobre la de descripción textual).Sin embargo, en los últimos dos siglos, la Geografía se ha ido consolidando como en una disciplina eminentemente literaria y ello ha terminado impactando sobre la producción y el uso de imágenes en la geografía escolar. Por el contrario, a finales del siglo XIX, estaba ampliamente aceptado que el acto del dibujo (sobre todo, el copiado y el calcado de mapas) era un ejercicio útil para pensar, interpretar e interiorizar contenidos geográficos.En este artículo se analiza cómo fueron variando las habilidades gráficas promovidas en la geografía escolar a partir de experiencias, materiales y actividades desarrolladas en instituciones escolares (considerando que es allí donde y cuando se aprenden las destrezas expresivas y comunicacionales) entre finales del siglo XIX y mediados del siglo XX.   Abtract: Geography is a discipline that carries with it a long graphic tradition, which is even part of its own name (some etymological interpretations prevail the sense of graphic or drawing attributed to the graphia suffix over textual description).However, in the last two centuries, Geography has been consolidated as an eminently literary discipline and this has ended up impacting on the production and use of images in school geography. In contrast, at the end of the nineteenth century, it was widely accepted that the act of drawing was a useful exercise for thinking, interpreting and internalizing geographical contents.In this article we analyzed how the graphic skills promoted in school geography varied from experiences, materials and activities developed in school institutions between the end of the 19th century and the mid - 20th century.
