The introduction gives an outline of the book’s argument for socialism as a form of globalization and its overall scholarly contribution. It explains the typical chronology of Stalinism, and why this book adopts a broader lens. It also captures the importance of political breaks in socialism — like the Sino-Soviet break in the 1960s — but without neglecting continuities and forms of transnational exchange. Offering contextual background, the introduction explains why Albania is a good setting for a study of this scope. Finally, the introduction provides a roadmap to the book.

When introduced almost five decades ago, radiocarbon (14C) dating provided New World archaeologists with a common chronometric scale that transcended the countless site-specific and regional schemes that had been developed by four generations of field researchers employing a wide array of criteria for distinguishing relative chronological phases. A topic of long standing interest in New World studies where 14C values have played an especially critical role is the temporal framework for the initial peopling of the New World. Other important issues where 14C results have been of particular importance include the origins and development of New World agriculture and the determination of the relationship between the western and Mayan calendars. It has been suggested that the great success of 14C was an important factor in redirecting the focus of American archaeological scholarship in the 1960s from chronology building to theory building, led to a noticeable improvement in US archaeological field methods, and provided a major catalyst that moved American archaeologists increasingly to direct attention to analytical and statistical approaches in the manipulation and evaluation of archaeological data.

AbstractThe last fifty years has witnessed an enormous development with regard to sound production, and has opened a new world of novel aural experiences. In order to be able to articulate and discuss these experiences there is a need for a corresponding novel set of terms and concepts. Such a terminology would also be relevant for analytical and interpretive approaches to electroacoustic music, avant-garde Western music, and ethno music. Pierre Schaeffer's typomorphology, developed in the 1960s, proposed a variety of novel terms, but they have not been of widespread use, since they unfortunately did not lend themselves very well for practical analysis. The present paper intends to develop Schaeffer's approach in the direction of a practical tool for conceptualising and notating sound quality. While carefully reducing the sometimes-bewildering number of terms found in Schaeffer's work, it introduces a set of graphic symbols apt for transcribing electroacoustic music in a concise score. The analysis of sound objects calls for a specific listeners' intention, called reductive listening.

Abstract The first autochthonous cases of cutaneous and mucocutaneous leishmaniasis in the Americas were described in 1909, but visceral leishmaniasis only erupted as a public health problem in the region in 1934. Today Brazil is the country with the most cases of American tegumentary leishmaniasis, and alongside India has the highest incidence of visceral leishmaniasis. Knowledge production and efforts to control these diseases have mobilized health professionals, government agencies and institutions, international agencies, and rural and urban populations. My research addresses the exchange and cooperation networks they established, and uncertainties and controversial aspects when notable changes were made in the approach to the New World leishmaniases.

The 1960S

This article challenges the interpretation of the 1980s in Italy as a period in which a large section of the population and, especially, the younger generation, turned away from politics and a retreated into the private sphere after the revolutionary ebullience of the 1960s and 1970s. The discussion centres around the figure of Pier Vittorio Tondelli whose collection of short stories Altri libertini (1980) inaugurated a new understanding of the cultural role of literature, and a new relationship between authors and readers. While devoid of the ideological preoccupations that characterized the protest movement(s) of the previous decades, Tondelli’s work, it is argued, is anything but escapist and rather seeks to provide a sensitive and thoughtful account of the transformations taking place in Italian society and culture during a critical decade in which Italy, like other mature Western societies, was precipitously projected into the post-Fordist phase of contemporary capitalism. From this vantage point Tondelli’s opus demonstrate the constant and sustained engagement of its author with a disorienting new world in which the contradictions between personal and collective desires and aspirations are increasingly mobilized to fuel the “society of spectacle” Guy Debord had foreseen. It can hardly be questioned that Tondelli’s struggle raises ethical issues, but it is important to see that this ethical dimension is inherently connected with a political horizon, albeit a politics of desire that traditional Marxist approaches have some difficulty identifying as politics, let alone as revolutionary politics. In order to appreciate fully the significance of Tondelli’s cultural contribution and disentangle it from the debates that it originated, the author proposes a fresh approach. Mindful of Raymond Williams’s eminent example (Keywords: A Vocabulary of Culture and Society, 1976), the analysis focuses on four keywords that can help us traverse Tondelli’s work and identify its strengths as well as some of its weaknesses. Affect, Commitment, Postmodernism, and Theory are intersecting vectors in a reassessment that through Tondelli reopens the discussion on an entire decade, and its aftermath.

The Impact

The article is devoted to the history of the journal “New World” of the second half of the 1950s — the 1960s, and the work of its chief editor A.T. Tvardovsky. It focuses on the second period of Tvardovsky’s editorship, the first part of which fell on the era of “thaw” (1958—1964), the second one — on the era of early “stagnation” (1965—1970). The article assesses the professional qualities of A.T. Tvardovsky as an editor. There are considered his literary preferences, attitude to the editorial work, and the factors that influenced the radical changes in his worldview. The author examines the editorial policy of the journal in the context of political changes in public life. Within the topic, the article shows the impact of various party and state bodies, including censorship, on culture and, in particular, on literature. There is traced the outline of events around “New World” journal, the publication history of the novel “One Day of Ivan Denisovich”, and the relations between A.T. Tvardovsky and A.I. Solzhenitsyn. There is analyzed the controversy surrounding A.I. Solzhenitsyn’s book “The Oak and the Calf”. The article notes the different level of publications’ information content of the “stagnation” and perestroika eras.The purpose of the study is to determine the place of Tvardovsky’s “New World” in the literary and political struggle of the second half of the 1950s — the 1960s, and the journal’s impact on the worldview formation of the generation of intellectuals, who played a significant role in the restructuring of the 1980s. The article is relevant because the journal “New World” of the second half of the 1950s — the 1960s occupies one of the central places in the history of Russian Soviet literature and journalism. A.T. Tvardovsky’s “New World” was the most consistent conductor of the policy of de-Stalinization in the “thaw” era, and continued the chosen course, despite Brezhnev’s policy of re-Stalinization, thus becoming a legal journal opposing the current government. The novelty of the article lies in the fact that this topic is studied using memoir sources: recollections and diaries of the events’ participants — famous writers, literary critics, members of the Editorial Board and employees of the journal “New World” — as well as A.T. Tvardovsky’s “Workbooks” and “New World Diary”. These sources allow to supplement the known facts and to reconstruct events related to the legendary journal’s history. Conclusions and observations made by the author can be used to further study the history and work of “New World” journal.

This chapter shows how the narrative form and obsessive focus on objects of Alain Robbe-Grillet’s early fiction—his chosisme—was adopted in three novels published in Britain in the 1960s. In Brian W. Aldiss’s Report on Probability A (1968), Christine Brooke-Rose’s Out (1964), and Denis Williams’s The Third Temptation (1968), Robbe-Grillet’s literary innovations become a means of reflecting on the end of empire. First, Robbe-Grillet’s broader reception within the context of the end of empire is surveyed. Then the three novels in question are analysed in turn. The chapter concludes by considering how new literary forms and new world-historical forms might line up in the work of Aldiss, Brooke-Rose, and Williams.

In 1972, Milton Friedman gave a presidential lecture before the Mont Pèlerin Society titled “Capitalism and the Jews.” The lecture was subsequently published as an essay in the 1980s. This article focuses on Friedman’s public interventions on the theme of capitalism and the Jews from the 1960s to the 1980s. We take a different perspectives from Jeff Lipkes’s recent paper on the topic, published in this journal. While Lipkes examines the internal content of Friedman’s arguments and their historical rectitude, we argue that “Capitalism and the Jews” shall not be read as a scholarly contribution to Jewish economic history. Flirting with stereotypes, Friedman was not looking to be theoretically sound and correct, but to persuade his audiences of the virtues of the free market. We therefore argue that “Capitalism and the Jews” has to be read within the surrounding political and polemical context of its writing and publication. Our article contributes to recent scholarship on the history of the complex relationships between conservatism and free-market ideas. It also provides a case study in the history of economic thought on discrimination and minorities.
