This is a review of "The Journal of Social History" which I wrote for my Introduction to Historical Methods class at MSUM. Red marks courtesy of Prof. Nathan Clarke.
This dissertation analyzes how three novels - Dracula, Mrs. Dalloway, and Nineteen Eighty-Four - portray shifts in gender roles and social norms in England between 1897-1948. The dissertation will examine how women are presented within traditional domestic spheres and as they begin to move outside typical gender scripts. Each chapter will focus on one of the novels and their historical context to show the progression of anxiety towards changing gender roles over time. The goal is to explore changing positions of women in early 20th century England following the Victorian era and draw conclusions on the response to these shifts depicted in the selected works of literature.
This document provides summaries of several articles in the April 2011 volume of the Journal of Democracy. The articles discuss topics such as:
1) Ivan Krastev's article "Paradoxes of the New Authoritarianism" which examines why authoritarian regimes are surviving in an age of democratization and discusses Russia as a case study.
2) Amaury de Souza's article "Brazil After Lula" which analyzes Brazil after the presidency of Lula.
3) Arch Puddington's article "The Freedom House Survey for 2010" which reports on Freedom House's annual survey of global political rights and civil liberties.
This document summarizes key points from lectures by Cedric Robinson and Raewyn Connell on the origins and development of sociology in relation to imperialism. Robinson argues that Marxism fails to account for racial capitalism and the role of racial hierarchies in the development of European bourgeoisies and imperial nations. Connell shows how early sociology emerged from imperial metropoles to rationalize colonial domination through concepts of progress and primitive cultures. Both critiqued how sociology universalized the particular experiences of European societies and elided the central role of imperialism.
This document outlines the agenda and materials for an ELIT 48C class session on feminist criticism. The session will include a lecture on feminist criticism and a discussion of student questions related to feminist criticism and The Great Gatsby. Feminist criticism examines how literature reinforces or undermines the oppression of women. It looks at how aspects of culture are inherently patriarchal and exposes misogyny. The objectives of feminist criticism are discussed. An overview of first, second, and third wave feminism is provided. Students will then discuss feminist criticism and their questions in groups. Questions posed by students related to feminist criticism and The Great Gatsby are listed. The homework assignment is to read about African American criticism and post questions
This document provides an overview of postmodernism and popular culture. It defines postmodernism as a critique of preceding aesthetics that celebrates tradition dismembering. It discusses how postmodernism emerged in various fields in the mid-1980s. Frederic Jameson views artistic movements like modernism and postmodernism as accompanying stages of capitalism. The document also defines popular culture and discusses four types of popular culture analysis: production, textual, audience, and historical. It concludes that reconstructing works like Frankenstein through a popular culture lens can lead to new interpretations.
Fredric Jameson is an American postmodern theorist born in 1934. He studied Western philosophy at Haverford College and traveled extensively in Europe. Jameson developed postmodern theories with Jean Baudrillard based on his studies in Western philosophy. His work had significant influence in China. Some of Jameson's main theories include the breakdown of distinctions between high and low culture through pastiche in modern media. He also theorized about postmodern architecture as being constructed without clear purpose or focus. Jameson has been influential but also received some criticism.
Feminist perspectives on media focus on analyzing how gender structures society and our experiences. Early feminist media studies highlighted how women were underrepresented or portrayed in stereotypical roles. Liberal feminism aims to achieve equal opportunities, while radical feminism sees patriarchy as oppressing all women. Socialist feminism incorporates class analysis. Cultural studies approaches examine audience interpretations and the social construction of gender through media. Feminist critiques aim to make masculinity and power relations visible and provide alternative communications.
This document discusses postmodernism and some of its key influences and characteristics. It provides definitions for different types of capitalism and consumerism. Postmodernism questions rationalist European philosophy and is a reaction against modern philosophical assumptions. Some influences of postmodernism discussed include art, technology, fashion, television, advertising and popular culture. Popular culture reflects cultural activities and commercial products aimed at mass tastes, and can be analyzed through production, textual, audience and historical lenses.

The document discusses how Theodore Roosevelt promoted certain works of literature that embodied his vision of "true Americanism" during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, a time of massive social and cultural change in the US. While Roosevelt championed works by writers like Israel Zangwill, Jacob Riis, Elizabeth Stern, and Finley Peter Dunn, the relationships with these writers were complex as they sometimes undermined or resisted Roosevelt's nationalist and racialist ideas. The document examines Roosevelt's relationship with these writers in depth through the lens of Aviva F. Taubenfeld's book "Rough Writing: Ethnic Authorship in Roosevelt’s America."
This document provides an overview and summary of Jeremy Gilbert's book "Anticapitalism and Culture: Radical Theory and Popular Politics".
The book stages a dialogue between the histories, concerns and ideas of cultural studies and the anti-capitalist movement. Cultural studies emerged from radical left politics but lost its connection to movements in recent decades. The anti-capitalist movement shares affinities with cultural studies' roots but has simplistic views of culture and politics.
The book examines the political history of cultural studies and its relationship to left movements. It outlines the emergence of the anti-capitalist movement and argues it has a radical democratic potential. It considers different views of capitalism and culture, and explores theoretical
This document provides an overview of cultural studies and its various types. It defines culture and cultural studies, discussing how cultural studies draws from fields like Marxism, feminism, and postmodernism. It then summarizes the five main types of cultural studies: British cultural materialism, New Historicism, American multiculturalism, postmodernism and popular culture, and postcolonial studies. For each type, it provides a brief definition and some relevant concepts or theorists. The document concludes by citing several sources that inform cultural studies as a field.
Postmodernism refers to a contemporary cultural style that is skeptical of classical notions of truth and objectivity. It questions traditional values and narratives. Postmodernism in literature continues and exaggerates some features of Modernism or reacts against it, using techniques like fragmentation and multiple perspectives. It also questions canonical literature and is influenced by postmodern philosophies such as post-structuralism, deconstruction, surrealism, pop art, and punk culture.
Terence Francis "Terry" Eagleton is a prominent British literary theorist, critic and public intellectual.Novelist and critic David Lodge, writing in the May 2004 New York
Review of Books on Theory and After Theory, concluded:
Some of Theory's achievements are genuine and permanent additions to knowledge, or intellectual self-knowledge. Eagleton is quite right to assert that we can never go back to a state of pre-Theory innocence about the transparency of language or the ideological neutrality of interpretation ... But like all fashions it was bound to have a limited life of novelty and vitality, and we are now living through its decadence without any clear indication of what will supersede it. Theory has, in short, become boringly predictable to many people who were once enthusiastic about it, and that After Theory is most interesting when its focus is furthest from its nominal subject is perhaps evidence that Terry Eagleton is now bored by it too.

Dissertation - Themes, Anxieties and Aesthetics of Fin-de-Siecle Culture in W...Alexander Woolley
This document provides an analysis of themes of degeneration and duality in W.T. Stead's The Maiden Tribute of Modern Babylon compared to how these themes are explored in Robert Louis Stevenson's The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde and Oscar Wilde's The Picture of Dorian Gray. It argues that Stead's views on sexual morality reflect middle-class anxieties over deviations from social norms. The analysis focuses on how the texts portray the precarious nature of civilization, the vilification of decadent aristocrats, the concept of a secret life suggesting innate sin, and how Stead's portrayal of a monstrous "Minotaur" was reflected in representations of Jack
Daya paper 8 - postmodernism and popular culture.dayagohil
This document discusses postmodernism and popular culture. It provides background on postmodernism and how it emerged in various fields like art, architecture, music, film and literature. It also discusses some major figures in modernism like Virginia Woolf, James Joyce, Ezra Pound and T.S. Eliot who redefined poetry and fiction. Popular culture is defined in multiple ways, including as culture consumed by the masses through mass media after World War 2, and as anything not considered high culture. The document is a paper submitted by Gohel Daya B. for their English course at MKB University.
This document provides an introduction and preface to the book "Family in Society" by Floyd M. Martinson. It discusses the sociological perspective taken in the book to analyze the American family as a social system within society and how it is impacted by cultural and social forces. The preface explains that the book will focus on examining the American family within one society, rather than making comparisons between many different societies, in order to avoid oversimplification. It also discusses how studying the American family over its long history provides insights from various "natural experiments" like changes from rural to urban life that impact family structures and functions.
This chapter discusses the cultural production of knowledge about Latina/os and their sexualities from the 1960s to present. It addresses how early studies of Latina/o sexualities were sometimes essentialist or imperialistic, and how more recent analyses provide nuanced critiques of essentialism through works like This Bridge Called My Back and examinations of intersecting identities. The chapter also explores how some early Latino writers in the 1960s and 1970s began openly addressing homosexuality in their work, contributing to the development of Latina/o literature and challenging nationalist myths.
This document poses a series of questions about the cultural production of knowledge regarding Latina/os and their sexualities. It asks how studies of Latina/o sexualities have avoided essentialism and been subject to paternalism. It discusses how such cultural production arose in the 1960s-1970s and references influential texts and authors from that era. The document also questions how nationalist myths can be oppressive and how issues of race and passing have been underscored in discussions of Latina/o identity.
General Characteristics of the modern ageKajal Bambha
This document provides characteristics of modernism in literature and the modern age. It lists characteristics like the use of myth, symbols, experimentation with language and form. It also discusses differences between the modern age and Victorian era, including a break with the past and conventional morality. Additionally, it outlines themes like dislocation of meaning, the impact of World Wars, and how new media like radio, cinema and television influenced literature in the modern period.
The document discusses the key characteristics of modern literature. Modernism represented a strong break from tradition and established views. Modern literature emphasized individual perspectives over absolute truths, and celebrated inner strength. It was an international, interdisciplinary movement. The modern age saw rational thinking and the rise of mass communication. Literature exhibited stream of consciousness and changing perceptions of language. Experimentation was valued. The two world wars had a major influence and created disillusionment. Psychology also impacted literature through concepts like stream of consciousness. There was growing interest in the working class and social issues.
This document discusses several concepts related to feminism and the portrayal of women in popular culture and media. It addresses different types of feminism like liberal feminism, radical feminism, and socialist feminism. It also discusses how popular culture and media often symbolically annihilate women by excluding them, trivializing them, and condemning them. This socializes women into adopting restrictive gender roles like domestic labor and being sex objects. The document also examines how ideological messages in popular culture can train men and women into traditional gender roles.
Feminism is defined as the belief that women and men should have equal rights and opportunities. It arose from the understanding that historically, women have been unable to fully participate in social institutions and have often been treated differently than men. Feminism aims to remedy this situation by eliminating old assumptions about gender roles. There have been three major waves of feminism. The first wave in the late 19th and early 20th centuries focused on women's suffrage and legal rights. The second wave from the 1960s-90s took on issues like reproductive rights and the fight for the Equal Rights Amendment. The third wave since the 1990s challenges concepts like universal womanhood and promotes defining femininity on women's own terms.
Morgan Iannuzzi presented on Chinese author Yu Hua. Yu Hua was born in 1960 in China and both of his parents were doctors. He finished high school during the Cultural Revolution and worked as a dentist for 5 years before becoming an author. He was influenced by famous Chinese writer Lu Xun and wrote novels, stories, and essays. The presentation discussed the political context in China from 1966 to 1976 including the Red Guard movement, economic struggles, an attempted coup, and the death of Mao Zedong. Yu Hua's work expresses feelings of helplessness and strength in the face of public executions and oppression during this turbulent time period.
This document discusses postmodernism and its relationship to popular culture. It defines postmodernism as a late 20th century movement that questions objective truth and universal narratives. Jean Lyotard is cited for viewing postmodernism as an era in which people reject overarching stories and ideologies in favor of local subcultures. Key aspects of postmodern culture emerged in the 1920s Dada movement and existentialist philosophy. Postmodernism influences many fields like art, film, literature through ideas like play, multiple meanings, and blurring genre boundaries. Examples of postmodern authors mentioned are J.R.R. Tolkien, Salman Rushdie, and C.S. Lewis.
The objective of this study is to focus on the investigation of William Shakespeare’s Macbeth and Doris Lessing’s The Grass Is Singing in the perspective of alienation and feminism. It aims at examining mainly Shakespeare’s and Lessing’s treatment of women in the light of the social system of 16th -century England and 20th -century Africa, respectively. It proposes to incorporate a wide variety of related, but diverse and even contradictory elements, centering on the subject of gender, social, political, economic, and cultural issues, fragmentation of society, love and marriage, psychological conflict, divorce, and sexuality. Both Shakespeare’s and Lessing’s texts are analyzed within the parameters of these issues. It throws a new light on the critical comments made by critics, scholars, and reviewers with a view to analyzing the complex ramifications of the theory of alienation and feminism. It also attempts to examine outlooks, autobiographical elements, writing forms, similarities and differences in various phases of the two writers. In this way, it aims to prove a concluding remark that a symbiotic relationship of the theorists and the authors is not only self-perpetuating, but also important for the 21st -century English literature.

The document discusses significant salary disparities between men's and women's professional sports leagues. It provides examples that in the WNBA, the average salary is $72,000 compared to $5.15 million in the NBA. In the UFC, Ronda Rousey earns $120,000 per fight despite outperforming Jon Jones in viewership and social media followers, yet he earns $400,000. Similarly, the NWSL average salary of $15,000 is far below the poverty level, whereas the MLS average of $207,831 is well above. The disparities demonstrate ongoing gender inequalities in sports that must be addressed through advocacy and policy changes to achieve fair treatment and compensation regardless of gender

This manual provides instructions for using the Dead-Hold BDC reticle included with certain Vortex riflescope models. It describes the reticle's design which incorporates hashmarks to aid long distance shooting by compensating for bullet drop without needing to manually calculate holdover positions. The manual then provides guidelines for different firearm classes on how to zero the scope and use the hashmarks for aiming at various ranges based on estimated bullet trajectory and drop. It also explains how the reticle can be used to estimate range by comparing target size to the reticle markings, and how the horizontal hashmarks aid in compensating for wind drift.

The document summarizes five types of cultural studies: (1) British Cultural Materialism, (2) New Historicism, (3) American Multiculturalism including African American, Latina/o, American Indian, and Asian American writers, (4) Postmodernism and Popular Culture, and (5) Postcolonial Studies. It provides details on the key ideas and scholars associated with each type of cultural studies.
This document summarizes several schools of history, including the Marxist School, the School of "Annales", and American schools like the Progressive, Consensus, and New Left schools. It also briefly discusses the historians Plutarch and Hegel. The Marxist School emphasized economic structures and class struggle as drivers of historical change. The School of "Annales" promoted a multidisciplinary "total history" approach. In America, the Progressive and New Left schools saw conflict as central to history, while the Consensus School argued for more agreement.
This document summarizes an article that argues for the continued importance of national history writing even in an age of globalization. It makes two main points: 1) Nationalism and national identities are vital to liberal democratic societies as they ensure the social bonds needed for citizens to sacrifice personal interests for the common good. 2) Recent historical work has shown that nations are as real as other historical groups and rejecting national history would require rejecting the history of all groups. The article contends that national history remains a legitimate lens for understanding the past within the discipline of history.
An Analysis Of Keith Thomas S Religion And The Decline Of MagicCourtney Esco
Keith Thomas was a Welsh historian born in 1933 who pioneered the study of early modern England. His book Religion and the Decline of Magic, published in 1971, examined why beliefs about magic changed in England between 1500-1700, demonstrating how advances in science and changes in religion undermined magical beliefs. The book was groundbreaking in its use of social anthropology to study history and uncovered previously unstudied aspects of religious and popular life in early modern England. Though ambitious in scope, Thomas did not fully answer his central question about the decline of magical beliefs. Nonetheless, the book has had immense influence on historians and remains widely cited today.
A CRITICAL FRAMEWORK FOR TEXTUAL ANALYSISBryce Nelson
This document provides an overview of frameworks for analyzing myths and their political, social, and economic dimensions. It discusses several thinkers that influenced the analysis of myths, including Barthes, Marx, Levi-Strauss, and Critical Theorists. The document proposes analyzing myths using a mixed-methods approach informed by these frameworks. It will apply Barthes' concept of myth as a semiotic structure to analyze Plato's Myth of Er and several television comedy programs to reveal their depictions of social class and the natural order.

Richard Hofstadter was a prominent 20th century American historian known for his works on consensus history and political culture. While he was associated with the consensus school of history, Hofstadter challenged some of its core ideas. Growing up in industrial Buffalo, Hofstadter was exposed to Marxist ideology as a student which influenced his later skeptical views of American politics. His book The American Political Tradition criticized traditional heroes of American history like Jefferson and Roosevelt. Hofstadter believed historians needed to take a more analytical approach beyond sentimental appreciation. He emphasized changing social values and the relationship between politics and ideas. Hofstadter is considered the most prominent historian of the 20th century for transcending consensus history and applying psychoanalysis

Oswald Spengler was a German historian who developed a cyclical theory of the rise and decline of civilizations over approximately 1,000-1,200 years. He analyzed six major civilizations and identified their "prime symbols" or dominant worldviews. Spengler believed Western civilization was already in an advanced state of decline in the early 20th century. Arnold Toynbee also studied the rise and fall of civilizations but rejected Spengler's deterministic view. Toynbee argued civilizations thrive when they successfully address challenges and decline when leaders stop responding creatively. Joseph Tainter's theory is that societies become more complex to solve problems but eventually reach a point of diminishing returns, leading to

This unit study guide covers political, economic, social, and cultural transformations in Europe from 1870-1914. It discusses the rise of mass politics and new challenges to ruling elites from industrialization, urbanization, and immigration. Nationalism grew stronger in response. Modernist ideas rejected traditional authority while new imperialism and social darwinism justified European dominance. Scientific advances both improved lives and challenged religious beliefs. Overall, this period was one of fragmentation amid expansion.

Newcomb, John Timberman. Would Poetry Disappear? American Verse and the Crisis
of Modernity. Columbus: The Ohio State University Press, 2004.
In the United States, American poetry has undergone cultural modernity, which was a fatal crisis between 1890 and 1910. Poets, publishers, editors, and readers had two choices to make from the developing crisis and were either to reimagine uses of poetry in a culture of nickelodeons, dime novels, and vaudeville halls. The other option was for them to watch it disappear (15). The author admits that the book had to undergo a phase of disillusionment, anxiety, and futility in order for American poetry in the United States to become modern. It is evident in the book that both elite and mass-marketed texts have their uses, particular strengths and virtues, and limitations, which are notable. Newcomb defines literary work and goes further to provide the importance of value-history under this study (16). Part one of the book looks at the Fireside poets through tracing construction of national poetic ideology. Part two concerns analysis and gave an integrative framework for part three. The book has been able to show the productive relation of American poetry to history and politics and several writings has been considered like use of realist or romantic texts (20). The author also notes the poems that excluded modernism. His work is similar to that of McGann, Richard Brodhead because they both take the same direction in understanding surrounding discourses with integral value to both function and literary texts (25). Nelson Cary’s book Anthology of Modern American Poetry contrasts this book since it only presents the canonical poetry over hundred years.

This volume talks about technical and career education or vocational education and training (VET) in the United States and insights into this field of research are highlighted. Critical analysis on the history, philosophy, governance, legislation, and organizational structures are provided to give a reader an overview of issues presented in VET. This book looks at various aspects that include education and qualification; localization versus globalization in governance, higher education vocationalism, U.S, apprenticeships among other issues. The book covers so many things on education in America and gives readers the need to have both technical and career education in this changing world. Barabasch and Rauner give a detailed analysis on how work and education are integrated in America and presents ways that students have benefitted with use of technical and career education in the modern setting. VET, a new way of dealing with globalization, has resulted in the creation of many institutions fostering and promoting the lives of people in the society through the creation of opportunities tha.

Historicising celebrity
Simon Morgan
School of Cultural Studies, Leeds Metropolitan University, Broadcasting Place A 214,
Leeds LS2 9EN, UK
Historians have been relatively slow to pick up on the recent explosion of academic
interest in the concept of celebrity, wary of applying potentially anachronistic categories
to pre-twentieth-century contexts and perhaps discouraged by negative responses in the
popular media (Holmes and Redmond 2010). Nevertheless, despite Lucy Riall’s observa-
tion in History Today that ‘the history of celebrity has yet to be written’ (2007a, p. 41),
the language of celebrity has increasingly begun to creep into historical writing, particu-
larly with regard to the late eighteenth and nineteenth centuries1. This development has
been most apparent in historical biography, where there has been a spate of books seek-
ing to identify their subjects as ‘celebrities’ (for example, Foulkes 2004, Cowen 2007).
While some of these give relatively little sense of the wider culture in which their subjects
existed, a few of the more scholarly have made a genuine contribution to our understand-
ing of that culture: particularly the extent to which their subject’s celebrity status was the
result of a deliberate process of self-promotion and media manipulation, and how far they
were simply objec.
This document discusses cultural analyses of organizational models in Latin America. It begins by introducing the concepts of culture and modernity and their relationship to understanding Latin America. The document then analyzes some key issues in Latin America's modernization process and its relationship to culture. Finally, it discusses organizational models, focusing on their social construction, transfer, and re-appropriation to question their cultural relevance and contribution to organizational and social development in Latin America.
Cultural studies has four main goals according to the document: 1) It transcends individual disciplines like history or literary criticism by examining broader cultural phenomena. 2) It is politically engaged and aims to question power structures and inequalities. 3) It rejects distinctions between high and low/elite and popular culture. 4) It analyzes both cultural works and their means of production to understand political and economic influences.
This document provides an introduction to the book "The Milner-Fabian Conspiracy" which aims to expand on previous works detailing an international elite that seeks to dominate the world. The introduction outlines how the book will examine socialism and its links to events like the Russian Revolution and World Wars. It will also analyze modern issues like immigration, multiculturalism, and Islamization which are negatively impacting populations. The goal is to provide information to encourage political debate and action to combat tyranny and reestablish democracy and freedom.

This document summarizes and compares three works on the history of LGBTQ people in the United States: John D'Emilio's Sexual Politics, Sexual Communities (1983), George Chauncey's Gay New York (1994), and Vicki Eaklor's Queer America (2008). It discusses how each work built upon the previous works in expanding the narrative and inclusion of more voices, while also noting some areas of divergence, such as Chauncey arguing that the homosexual/heterosexual binary developed later than D'Emilio proposed. The document analyzes how these works have contributed to the development of LGBTQ history as a field of serious academic study, but that significant work remains to be done, as
The Satyricon, written by Petronius between 62-65 CE, parodies various aspects of Roman culture such as love, marriage, and social relationships. Through the interactions of characters like Encolpius, Giton, and Ascyltos, it depicts love as a competition for power and control rather than affection. Their obsessive and violent relationship mirrors modern notions of adolescent romance. Additionally, it portrays marriage as a financial burden to men and lampoons the wives' excessive spending. Overall, the work ridicules romantic and sexual ties in Roman society by stripping them of meaning and emotion.
One White Middle-Class Woman's Opinion of "The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks"Haley Shoemaker
Rebecca Skloot's book "The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks" tells the story of Henrietta Lacks, an African American woman whose cancer cells were taken without her consent and used to create the first immortal human cell line. Skloot spent over 10 years researching and getting to know Henrietta Lacks' family to tell her story in a compassionate and empathetic way. While the book is not a scholarly historical text due to a lack of citations, it shined a light on important issues of poverty, racism, and medical ethics through Henrietta Lacks' story in a way that was accessible to a wide audience.
Bureacracy in Action: A Review of "Bad Blood"Haley Shoemaker
Bad Blood by James H. Jones tells the story of the Tuskegee Syphilis Experiment from 1936 to 1972. It details how 399 black men with syphilis were studied without treatment to examine the long-term effects of the disease. Jones provides an in-depth examination of how the experiment was allowed to continue for decades despite ethical concerns. He explores the justifications used and impact it had on views of the medical community and African Americans. While the book could have benefitted from a longer introduction and conclusion, it provides a compelling account of this abuse of human rights and the racism it exposed.
A Cult By Any Other Name: Early Christianity and the Greco-Roman Mystery Reli...Haley Shoemaker
A comparison of Early Christianity and the Mystery religions of Rome in the 2nd Century. More specifically I compare baptism as it is depicted in Tertullian's famous work "On Baptism" to its portrayal in Apuleius' novel "The Golden Ass."
This document discusses and compares five depictions of Cleopatra VII from antiquity and film. Roman historians like Suetonius, Cassius Dio, and Pliny portrayed her negatively as ruthless, greedy, and deceitful in an effort to undermine her power and establish Roman dominance. Modern films from 1945 and 1963 depicted her differently to appeal to audiences - the 1945 film showed her as a silly teenager controlled by men, while the 1963 film portrayed her as a sensual yet powerful queen, reflecting changing gender roles. Overall, Cleopatra has long fascinated the Western world and been represented in various, sometimes contradictory, ways that embody stereotypes about women through history.
1) Cicero was exiled from Rome in 58 BC by his opponent Clodius, who then tore down Cicero's house and built a temple to Justice on the site.
2) Cicero gave a speech to the College of Pontiffs arguing that the consecration of the temple did not follow proper religious forms and laws. He claimed the destruction of his house was sacrilegious and the temple's consecration was unlawful.
3) Cicero asserted that Clodius performed the temple's consecration rituals improperly in order to invalidate the consecration, which would normally be an irreversible act. He portrayed Clodius as disrespecting religion and the gods.
1) Augustus was born Gaius Octavius and became the first emperor of Rome, ending the Roman Republic.
2) He allied with Mark Antony and Marcus Lepidus in the Second Triumvirate but later defeated Antony in battle, taking control of Rome.
3) As emperor, Augustus reformed Rome's government and infrastructure while avoiding the title of king, establishing the Roman Empire and 200 years of Pax Romana or peace.
Steve Biko has gone down as a hero in South Africa. He has also been widely denigrated for the glaring similarities between his views and the 1960s classic Black Power by Stokely Carmichael. This work examines this seeming plagiarism in its socioeconomic context.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like

Introduction to Historical Methods
Review of The Journal of Social History
In The Journal of Social History, history is examined with an emphasis on social interaction,
social conflict and modes of thought. Accompanying this is an emphasis on attempting to view
past events within the social and cultural framework of that time period.
The Journal of Social History in 1990 discussed pretty limited topics, at least culturally
speaking. Most of the subject matter covered was European and American. One article discusses
a culture other than Europe or America, but even then it’s the Portuguese colony Brazil.1
Colonialism seems to be a popular topic of social history, unsurprisingly, and several articles are
devoted to different colonial examples. In each there is a prevailing focus on the colonized,
rather than on the colonizers. Another area of particular fascination is the social unrest that
attended industrialization.
Many articles from The Journal of Social History published in 1990 and especially in the
first issue seemed hell-bent on dispelling a perceived myth in the existing historical record or
focused tightly on a “neglected” aspect of the given topic. It was almost as if the writers had set
out to revise revisionism. Another noticeable trend from this year was to focus on one factor of
society, such as class, race, or gender, and excluded all others from consideration. For example,
some of the articles in the first issue focused on upper class groups: merchants, power
companies; yet in those same articles the information gleaned from examining said groups was
then applied to the society as a whole. Seemingly, the authors ignore the issue of class entirely,

Alida C. Metcalf, "Women and Means: Women and Family Property in Colonial Brazil ," The Journal of Social
History, vol. 24, no. 2 (1990): 277-98, http://www.jstor.org/stable/3787499 (accessed March 14, 2012).
2. while other articles from that year focused solely on the role of class within a single society,
excluding the possible effects of gender, age, race, and countless other factors. None of the
authors identified themselves either as holding a doctorate or being a professor, though most
come from American universities. Topics discussed in the Journal tended to be very narrowly
defined, such as Victorian upper-class sexuality or the London police force in the late 1800s.
In the first issue of The Journal of Social History published in the year 2000, several
“fashionable” parts of history stood out. Russia was the topic of many articles, competing with
the United States in pervasion. “Gendered history” grew in popularity as “women’s issues,”
which ranged widely from motherhood to sexual and physical abuse to female monasticism, and
became more common topics of serious historical study. There was also a sudden and intense
focus on postbellum America and race relations throughout the country. While the vast majority
of the articles focused on Europe and America, China and Japan are examined in one article
each, though it’s unclear whether this was a publishing whim, a nod to their ascendency within
the “Western world,” or a rise of interest in more varied cultural foci. Articles contained in the
2000 issues of the Journal began to include the interplay of multiple social factors in their
assessment, and some “new” factors were examined, such as the role of unions in society or the
principles of eugenics that spread like wildfire through Europe and America, though they were
perhaps best espoused by Stalinist Russia.2
Again, the drive to “correct” existing history was still
strongly in evidence.
In the 2000 issues of The Journal of Social History there seems to be more emphasis on
the “fads” of history, as both the choice of topics and the formulation of titles seemed more
interested in catching the eye than their 1990 counterparts. Sensational topics such as the Wild

took pride of place, and
buzzwords like “Anglo-Marxism,” “unionism,” and “historicism” began popping up, where
before the writing was less full of jargon. Technical language is of course a necessary part of any
academic journal, but the language seemed specialized to a ludicrous and needless extent.
As Journal of Social History enters 2010, the range of “accepted study” is considerably
wider than that of other issues. Mental illness, disability, drug use, infanticide and dieting are just
some of the areas studied, and each title is hyped to be more eye-catching and also more
accessible than the last. The use of jargon is replaced by still more buzzwords, and the
prevalence of narrative history in the 21st
century is easily visible here. Focus seems to flit back
and forth between the microcosm of a single story to the macrocosm of Western civilization, and
there is more focus on that homogenized cultural identity that has arisen particularly in the last
decade. The sources cited begin to vary much more, encompassing letters, photographs, music
and other more culturally centered fountains of information. Also, perhaps dovetailing with the
rise of the babyboomers to power, there is a sudden focus on America after World War II and all
its attendant cultural and social changes.
However, some things remain entirely unchanged: still obvious is that constant and
unrestrained love of criticism, as article after article offers “reimaginings,” “reinterpretations,”
and a “reexamining” of the facts; and the articles still deal overwhelmingly with Europe and
America.
Overall, the evolution of The Journal of Social History very closely and unsurprisingly
follows the current trends that can be seen in history as a whole. Topics of interest are widened
from a more Marxist obsession with class and economics to an interdisciplinary view

are written in differing styles, but an overall shift takes place from the extremely tedious, such as

century merchants to the more accessible and sometimes trendier areas of discourse such as
beer advertising in the 20th
century.
