Abstract
This article surveys and analyzes classical performances staged between 1928 and 1938 in the archeological areas of Agrigento and Paestum, and underlines similarities and differences between ...them to evaluate the impact of Fascist ideology on their organization. Indeed, these performances were much more concerned with staging ancient poetry recitations, pantomimes, choreographies, and parades rather than entire plays, as these were effective conduits for Fascism's visual aesthetics, which was aimed at enhancing the archeological settings that hosted them. The events organized in Agrigento were meant to extend the presence of classical performances in ancient theaters and monuments other than Syracuse under the supervision of the National Institute of Ancient Drama (INDA) and other national and international artists, while the performances staged in Paestum were intended to promote international tourism in Italy, which included the programmatic restoration and renovation of ancient monuments.
This article is concerned with manifestations of the memory of the Paris Commune in Britain in the decades after 1871. It is about how the Commune was incorporated into the mythology, the canon, of ...British socialism, and how the memory of the Commune furnished British socialism with powerful and useful symbols. In highlighting the ways in which the events of 1871 captured the British socialist imagination, what follows shows how, despite its oft-emphasised insularity, British socialism was made through the incorporation and appropriation of both native and foreign ideas, symbols, and traditions. The powerful mythologies and symbolism associated with the Commune were taken up by socialists in Britain, and highlight an important intersection between British and French political cultures in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.

U radu se na osnovi literature i periodike, prvenstveno priloga u pravaškom tjedniku Hervatska, daje pregled shvaćanja Ante Starčevića, Eugena Kvaternika, mladih suradnika u uredništvu i dopisnika ...pravaškoga lista o raznim pitanjima vezanim uz crkvenu i vjersku problematiku. U Hervatskoj će se pod utjecajem zbivanja na unutrašnjopolitičkoj sceni i u Europi tematizirati ukidanje Papinske Države i papina svjetovna vlast, izbor biskupa u Hrvatskoj, a osuda biskupa Strossmayera zbog njegovih istupa na Prvom vatikanskom koncilu bit će začetak žestokoga sukoba koji će se sljedećih mjeseci, a napose u vrijeme izbora za Hrvatski sabor i nakon njih, rasplamsati između pravaša i katoličkoga svećenstva koje je slijedilo strossmayerovsku Narodnu stranku. Prva opća hrvatska učiteljska skupština otvorila je u pravaškom tjedniku pitanje kontrole i nadzora Crkve nad javnim školama, dok je Pariška komuna iznijela na vidjelo različita shvaćanja o ulozi vjere u društvu, napose između Kvaternika i mladih suradnika Hervatske.
Based on scholarly literature and periodicals, primarily articles published in the Party of Rights’ weekly Hervatska, this paper offers an overview of the opinions expressed by Ante Starčević, Eugen Kvaternik, the young associates in the editorial office, and the weekly’s correspondents on various religious and church-related matters. The weekly engaged in discussions influenced by domestic and European political events, addressing the abolition of the Papal State in 1870, the secular authority of the Pope, and the appointment of bishops in Croatia. During this time, there was intense criticism directed towards Bishop Strossmayer for his statements regarding Protestants and the dogma of papal infallibility, which had been confirmed during the First Vatican Council. These discussions marked the beginning of a fierce conflict that would escalate in the subsequent months, particularly during the May elections for the Croatian Parliament in 1871 and thereafter. The conflict emerged between the supporters of the Party of Rights and the Catholic clergy who aligned themselves with Strossmayer’s National Party. The First General Assembly of Croatian Teachers provided the collaborators of Hervatska with an opportunity to express their support for the secularization of education. Additionally, debates on the Paris Commune brought to light differences between the deeply religious Kvaternik and his young collaborators in the editorial office of Hervatska regarding social issues, particularly the notion of religion and its role in the society.
Luz Aurora Pimentel begins with the proposition that metaphor should operate beyond the observable verbal texture of a narrative. She examines the role of metaphor in narrative discourse in order to ...establish a theory of metaphoric narration and applies this theory to Proust's A la recherche du temps perdu.
Extrait : Pas plus que le successeur de M. Thiers, M. de Mac-Mahon, nous n'ignorons pas que dans toutes les depeches officielles qui, du 18 mars au 31 mai 1871, se sont etalees sur tous les murs des ...36000 communes de France, les communalistes de Paris ont ete systematiquement qualifies de communistes. Pour notre part, le terme de communiste n'a rien en lui-meme qui nous effraie.

In this cogent and insightful reading of China's twentieth-century political culture, David Strand argues that the Chinese Revolution of 1911 engendered a new political life--one that began to free ...men and women from the inequality and hierarchy that formed the spine of China's social and cultural order. Chinese citizens confronted their leaders and each other face-to-face in a stance familiar to republics worldwide. This shift in political posture was accompanied by considerable trepidation as well as excitement. Profiling three prominent political actors of the time--suffragist Tang Qunying, diplomat Lu Zhengxiang, and revolutionary Sun Yatsen--Strand demonstrates how a sea change in political performance left leaders dependent on popular support and citizens enmeshed in a political process productive of both authority and dissent.
Traditional urban drainage degrades receiving waters. Alternative approaches have potential to protect downstream waters, but widespread adoption requires robust demonstration of their feasibility ...and effectiveness. We conducted a catchment‐scale experiment over 19 years to assess the effect of dispersed stormwater control measures (SCMs), measured as a reduction in effective imperviousness (EI) on stream water quality in six sites on two streams. We compared changes in those sites over 7 years as EI decreased, to changes in the 12 preceding years, and in three reference and two control streams. SCMs reduced phosphorus concentrations and summer temperature to reference levels in dry weather where EI was sufficiently reduced, but effects were smaller with increased antecedent rain. SCMs also reduced nitrogen concentrations which were influenced by septic tank seepage in all sites. SCMs had no effect on suspended solids concentrations, which were lower in urban than in reference streams. SCMs increased electrical conductivity: along with reduced temperature this is evidence of increased contribution of groundwater to baseflows. This experiment strengthens inference that urban stormwater drainage increases contaminant concentrations in streams, and demonstrates that such impacts are reversible and likely preventable. Variation in degree of water quality improvement among experimental sites suggests that achieving reference water quality would require SCMs with large retention capacity intercepting runoff from nearly all impervious surfaces, thus requiring more downslope space and water demand. EI is a useful metric for predicting stream water quality responses to SCMs, allowing better catchment prioritization and SCM design standards for stream protection.
Plain Language Summary
The way we drain our cities and towns pollutes and erodes our streams and rivers. Water running off, and heated by, roofs and roads carries damaging particles and chemicals. The stormwater drains and pipes that we build transport the polluted runoff, quickly and untreated, to downstream waters. To test if creek water quality downstream of stormwater drainage can be restored, we conducted an experiment. 100s of rain‐gardens that allow water to soak into surrounding soils and be taken up by plants, and rainwater tanks for harvesting, were installed in two suburban catchments. We compared before and after conditions in creeks downstream of the treatments, with conditions in other degraded urban streams, and in undegraded forested streams. Filtering and harvesting stormwater reduced summer temperatures and reduced concentrations of phosphorus and nitrogen, critical contaminants for healthy streams. The reductions were greatest in dry weather, and after small amounts of rain. To achieve water quality similar to forested streams, we need rain‐gardens and harvesting systems that catch runoff from nearly every roof and road upstream. Achieving that will require reserving space near pipe outlets to streams for final treatment systems, and finding ways to use the excess water generated by roofs and roads.
Key Points
A long‐term catchment‐scale experiment strengthens inference that urban stormwater drainage increases stream contaminant concentrations
Extensive use of dispersed stormwater control measures can reverse stormwater‐induced degradation of stream water quality
Achieving reference stream water quality requires retention, treatment and loss of runoff from nearly all catchment impervious surfaces, with high performance standards
Over the course of its history, the German Empire increasingly
withheld basic rights-such as joining the army, holding public
office, and even voting-as a form of legal punishment. Dishonored
...offenders were often stigmatized in both formal and informal ways,
as their convictions shaped how they were treated in prisons, their
position in the labour market, and their access to rehabilitative
resources. With a focus on Imperial Germany's criminal policies and
their afterlives in the Weimar era, Citizens into Dishonored
Felons demonstrates how criminal punishment was never solely a
disciplinary measure, but that it reflected a national moral
compass that authorities used to dictate the rights to citizenship,
honour and trust.
