Courage and Griefilluminates in a nuanced fashion Sweden's involvement in Europe's destructive Thirty Years' War (1618-48). Focusing on the various roles women performed in the bloody and extended ...conflict, Mary Elizabeth Ailes analyzes how methods of warfare and Swedish society were changing in profound ways. This study considers the experiences of unmarried camp followers and officers' wives as well as peasant women who remained in the countryside during times of conflict and upheaval.Women contributed to the war effort in a variety of ways. On campaign they provided support services to armies in the field. On the home front they helped to minimize disruptions incurred within their frayed communities. As increasing numbers of men left to fight overseas, women took over local economic activities and defended their families' interests. Such activities significantly altered the fabric of Swedish society.Examining women's wartime experiences in the Thirty Years' War enhances our understanding of women's roles in society, the nature of female power and authority, and the opportunities and hardships that warfare brought to women's lives.
I will argue that Japanese liberalism is distinct from its Western counterparts by adopting Maruyama Masao's description of how the development of Japanese liberalism has been continuously influenced ...by the ethical and political thought of the Yamazaki Ansai school. I will use Maruyama's description of the relationship between the two to demonstrate that the distinctiveness of Japanese liberalism from its Western counterparts in the current period provides us with one of the manifestations of the inconsistencies of communitarianism. I will show that it is an inconsistent position since it is still bound by the association of consciousness and rationality. To be more explicit, my argument against communitarianism will emphasize that Japan's adoption of liberalism as the basis for the legitimacy of rule in its nation-state is best understood in the context of liberalism's emphasis on the association of consciousness, rationality, and their respective roles in the creation of social reality.
En este estudio se presenta un análisis de la resistencia a abolladura por cortante de vigas armadas híbridas según la norma venezolana COVENIN 1618:1998. El estudio se basa en una recopilación ...bibliográfica de ensayos experimentales encontrados así como en una base de datos numérica creada por los autores. Se comparan los valores obtenidos tanto experimental, como numéricamente con los derivados de la formulación teórica recogida en dicha normativa. Asimismo, dentro de la comparación, se incluyen los resultados derivados de la aplicación del Eurocódigo 3(EN1993-1-5) y las normativas americanas AISC-AASHTO. Los resultados que arrojan dichas comparaciones muestran el carácter conservador de COVENIN 1618:1998 en la valoración de dicha resistencia. En base a los resultados obtenidos, se proponen expresiones de diseño que permiten incluir el diseño híbrido de vigas armadas obteniendo del mismo su máximo beneficio estructural.
In a 1963 tribute to his fellow poet Theodore Roethke, Stanley Kunitz recalls introducing his friend to "Sir John Davies' neglected Elizabethan masterpiece, Orchestra, a Poem of Dancing" during a ...late night discussion of poetry. He relates that Roethke responded to its "clear-voiced music" with "excitement" and `joy" and that he soon acted on his excitement by composing a series of poems entitled "Four for Sir John Davies" that "set the cadence for a whole new cycle of later poems." Here, Rush discusses Davies's "neglected Elizabethan masterpiece" which merits detailed consideration because it makes a serious and original contribution not only to early modern accounts of cosmic order but also to a late Elizabethan controversy about the nature and value of art.
America's native peoples have been forced to be both inner and outer emigrants since the arrival of Europeans, including British, to Turtle Island. The founding of the United States was arguably the ...first Brexit, with the following twist: the violent withdrawal of British colonists from the kingdom of Great Britain was also a wholesale withdrawal of British identity in favour of an 'American' identity conjured from opposition to taxes and a race war for Indian land. During that British civil war George Washington, known as Hanödaga:yas (Town Destroyer) in our Iroquois language, sent his generals on a scorched-earth campaign calling for 'the total destruction and devastation of their settlements... that the country may not be merely overrun, but destroyed'. Fifty of our villages, and extensive farm fields, storehouses and orchards, were burned to the ground. More than five thousand of our Haudenosaunee ancestors fled as war refugees, homeless, hungry and dispossessed, from their own lands.
Mantle is a large-scale, site-specific earthwork honouring Virginia's Native American nations that has recently been dedicated onsite at the Capitol in Richmond. I based its form on the shell beadwork of Powhatan's Mantle, the deerskin object in the Ashmolean Museum thought to be part of Powhatan's gift to King James in 1608, its thirty-odd spiral-embroidered disks are symbols of the villages and tribes of his chiefdom.
In an uncharacteristic move in January, Trump signed a bill granting long-overdue federal recognition to six of Virginia's tribes. Despite this gesture, the Trump administration has proven as hostile to America's Native peoples as it is to its current immigrants - through its rushed approval of the Dakota Access Pipeline, threatening of sacred sites by shrinking Bears Ears National Monument, and a plan to impose work requirements on Native American Medicaid recipients in direct violation of treaties.
