A Community of French Artists and Craftsmen Abroad: A Case Study of theSculptors of the Royal Palace of Stockholm in the Eighteenth Century Following the approach of Linda Hinners’s research, this article comprises a study of French sculptors who worked on the construction of Stockholm’s royal palace in the eighteenth century. Indeed, between 1732 and 1765, the superintendent of royal buildings had recruited, through the action of social networks, thirty French sculptors. To encourage them to leave France, the superintendent offered them very attractive conditions of life and work, and the prospects of a career. Once there, these sculptors created the royal palace decoration from the sketches of the Swedish architects. Beyond their artistic ability, the Swedes utilized their great experience of construction work and technical know-how. Soon, they took over the management of the sculpture works and training of young Swedish craftsmen present on the site. With the recruitment of French experts, the Swedes therefore had skilled and knowledgeable work teams, which created autonomous production workshops. These latter also underwent a modernization process induced by the creation of the Superintendence of royal buildings and the Swedish Royal Academy. Thus, the French appear to have been the actors of a modern artistic policy that allowed Sweden to utilize the French aesthetic model.

Abstract This article aims to shed light on the exchange of technical knowledge between architects, master craftsmen and workmen on building sites at the end of the eighteenth century. In the Age of Enlightenment, major building sites were places where a large number of skilled practitioners of various ranks met (engineers, architects, contractors, experts, craftsmen). These were therefore places where the exchange of knowledge and know-how occurred but also places of struggle for power and knowledge. The article examines these exchanges and struggles using the case study of the building site for the dome of the Halle au Blé in Paris (1782-1783).

“The Present Obfuscation”: Cowper's Task and the Time of Climate Change

Climate change, I argue, is a catastrophe that resists the revelation promised by apocalyptic narrative. My case study is William Cowper's poem The Task (1785), which I situate in two climatic contexts: the year of its composition, which saw meteorological extremes caused by the eruption of an Icelandic volcano, and an era of geologic modernity, the Anthropocene, which commenced with the industrial combustion of fossil fuels in the late eighteenth century. As volcanogenic haze migrates in Cowper's descriptions from the countryside to the greenhouse and the imperial city, the poet fails to identify a meteorology with which to distinguish nature's seasonal “revolvency” from eschatological presages or from the modernization process itself—the historical “revolution” embodied by worsening urban pollution. Climate change poses a crisis, in the dual etymological senses of a decision and a turning point, because it unsettles the duration of the present, what returns and endures and so measures alteration.

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui bagaimana proses transfer pengetahuan yang ada di Perpustakaan Kementerian Hukum dan Hak Asasi Manusia. Metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah kualitatif yang diperoleh dari hasil wawancara, observasi, dan studi dokumentasi. Pendekatan studi kasus yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah untuk melihat kejadian sebenarnya dari aktivitas pustakawan. Hasil dari penelitian ini menunjukan bahwa proses sosialisasi di Perpustakaan Kemenkumham terjadi melalui diskusi pustakawan dan pimpinan. Proses eksternalisasi dilakukan melalui kegiatan pustakawan yang dituangkan ke dalam bentuk baru. Proses kombinasi dilakukan dengan mengumpulkan, mentransfer atau menyebarkan, dan mengolah informasi maupun pengetahuan yang diperoleh dari tahap eksternalisasi ke dalam laporan tahunan. Proses internalisasi di Perpustakaan Kemenkumham belum optimal dilakukan dikarenakan pustakawan masih berfokus pada kegiatan pengolahan perpustakaan. Namun dalam hal ini, dokumen laporan tersebut dapat menjadi pengetahuan baru bagi pustakawan maupun organisasi. Hambatan yang ada di Perpustakaan Kementerian Hukum dan Hak Asasi Manusia yaitu pada sumber daya manusia dan anggaran untuk kegiatan perpustakaan seperti workshop maupun pelatihan yang dapat menjadi media promosi perpustakaan. Transfer pengetahuan di Perpustakaan Kementerian Hukum dan Hak Asasi Manusia dilakukan melalui sosialisasi, eksternalisasi, kombinasi, dan internalisasi.ABSTRACTThis paper aims to know how the knowledge transfer process runs in the Library of Ministry of Law and Human Rights. The method used in this paper is qualitative research were taken through interviews, observation and documentation studies. A case study approach is used on this paper by seeing reality from librarian activites. The results of this paper indicate that socialization in the Kemenkumham Library occurs through discussion of librarians and the leaders. Externalization is carried out through librarian activities which are poured into new forms. Combination is done by collecting, transferring or disseminating, and processing information and knowledge obtained from the externalization stage into the annual report. Internalization has not yet been optimized because librarians are still focusing on library processing activities. Moreover, the report documents can become new knowledges for librarians and organizations. The existing obstacles in knowledge transfer process in Kemenkumham Library are in human resources and the budget for library activities such as holding workshops and training activities that can be a media for library promotion. Knowledge Transfer  in the Library of the Ministry of Law and Human Rights are carried out through a process of socialization, externalization, combination, and internalization.

Scottish History

Hugh Trevor-Roper (Lord Dacre) made several iconoclastic interventions in the field of Scottish history. These earned him a notoriety in Scottish circles which, while not undeserved, has led to the reductive dismissal of Trevor-Roper's ideas, particularly his controversial interpretation of the Scottish Enlightenment, as the product of Scotophobia. In their indignation Scottish historians have missed the wider issues which prompted Trevor-Roper's investigation of the Scottish Enlightenment as a fascinating case study in European cultural history. Notably, Trevor-Roper used the example of Scotland to challenge Weberian-inspired notions of Puritan progressivism, arguing instead that the Arminian culture of north-east Scotland had played a disproportionate role in the rise of the Scottish Enlightenment. Indeed, working on the assumption that the essence of Enlightenment was its assault on clerical bigotry, Trevor-Roper sought the roots of the Scottish Enlightenment in Jacobitism, the counter-cultural alternative to post-1690 Scotland's Calvinist Kirk establishment. Though easily misconstrued as a dogmatic conservative, Trevor-Roper flirted with Marxisant sociology, not least in his account of the social underpinnings of the Scottish Enlightenment. Trevor-Roper argued that it was the rapidity of eighteenth-century Scotland's social and economic transformation which had produced in one generation a remarkable body of political economy conceptualising social change, and in the next a romantic movement whose powers of nostalgic enchantment were felt across the breadth of Europe.

This chapter analyses the editions, abridgements, and recommendations of texts by seventeenth-century nonconformists that were made by eighteenth-century dissenters, Methodists, and Church of England evangelicals. The nonconformist writers they chose include Joseph Alleine, Richard Baxter, John Flavel, John Owen, and John Bunyan. The editors and recommenders include Philip Doddridge, John Wesley, Edward Williams, Benjamin Fawcett, George Burder, John Newton, William Mason, and Thomas Scott. Detailed accounts are provided of the large number of Baxter’s works that were edited, notably A Call to the Unconverted and The Saints Everlasting Rest, and a case study is devoted to the many annotated editions of Bunyan’s Pilgrim’s Progress and the ways in which they were used. The editors took into account length, intelligibility, religious attitudes, and cost, and sometimes criticized their rivals’ versions on theological grounds.

In the context of Sentimentalism in the 1770s, literary culture opened up to representations of human subjectivity. The chapter considers genres of poetry devoted to the themes of pleasure, death, and posterity. It also considers the spaces of poetry and modes of exchange, whether through the album, the salon, and the verse epistle. Two case studies explore the use of different literary forms in the further development of identity, individual and also authorial. The first looks at Radishchev’s experiment in writing a fictional diary as a psychological exercise. The second examines the tradition of imitation of Horace’s Monument poem in Russian poetry in the eighteenth century as well as by later poets, such as Pushkin and Brodsky. The case study shows how these Russian versions express changing ideas about imitation and originality as well as poets’ concern with posterity.

Digitalization has transformed all aspects of life, from social interactions to the working environment and education, something that accelerated with the emergence of COVID-19. The same stands for education and training activities, where the use of digital tools has been gradually advancing and become merely online because of the virus. This brought forth the need to discuss further the applications, benefits, and challenges of digital tools within the framework of the education and training process, and the need to study examples of successful applications. This study aims to support both these requirements by presenting the case study of REFUGEEClassAssistance4Teachers project and its outcomes.
