(from a Basque popular play)'
For those interested in the connections between politics and popular culture, the charivari
holds a peculiar fascination. Originally an aggressive ritual directed against marital
deviants, the charivari came in France to be used for overtly political purposes. 'The
charivari', Charles Tilly has observed, 'deserves special attention because it illustrates the
displacement of an established form of collective action from its home territory to new
ground; during the first half of the nineteenth century French people often used the
charivari and related routines to state positions on national politics.'2 But the French were
not the only people who deployed the charivari form for political purposes in the first half
of the nineteenth century; a broadly similar development occurred at about the same time
in the former French colony of Canada. Indeed, the transition was much more abrupt in
North America than in Europe. The French-Canadian charivari had long been notable for
its traditionalism as to form, object and occasion, but suddenly in I837, when Lower
Canada (now the province of Quebec) was rocked by a revolutionary upheaval, this
folkloric ritual made a dramatic appearance as an important vehicle for mobilizing the

(Cambridge, Mass., I1986) ...
The Victorian Age (1830-1890) in England was a time of both material developments and intellectual/literary changes. It was a largely peaceful era characterized by industrial expansion, which led to both economic growth and social problems. Intellectually, there were major advances in science and political/social thought. In literature, works reflected both Victorian morality and a growing revolt against conventions. Writers were influenced by new ideas in science, religion, and politics. Expanding education created a large new reading public and boosted novel production. While no supreme writer emerged, the literary output and intellectual horizons of the Victorian Age were extensive.

This document discusses the history and historiography of scientific exploration and evolutionism in the American tropics, particularly Ecuador, Colombia, and Venezuela. It outlines four stages in the historiography: 1) Early universalist and descriptive histories that emphasized European explorers; 2) Reception histories that examined local dynamics; 3) Histories focusing on international networks and new social actors like local scientists; 4) Recent global and STS-influenced histories that examine circulation of ideas and situate science in local contexts. The historiography has moved from internalist narratives to more critical social histories that reveal previously invisible local actors and knowledge traditions, and analyze science as a power relation embedded in colonialism.
African Americans And An Atlantic World Culture. (2005)Sophia Diaz
This document provides an overview of the field of Atlantic World history and its relationship to African diaspora studies. It discusses how the emergence of the Atlantic World beginning in the 15th century set in motion large-scale migrations of Africans through the transatlantic slave trade. It also notes that while the Atlantic World and African diaspora concepts have different geographical scopes, both approaches now recognize Africans as active agents rather than just victims of historical forces. The document uses several sources to illustrate how perspectives on Africans' roles have changed from earlier Eurocentric works to current scholarship that emphasizes Africans' agency within the Atlantic World.
The document discusses the conquest of the Americas and presents evidence that it occurred due to a "Race War" between indigenous peoples of Mongol extraction and those of African extraction. It argues that the Mongol peoples, who were often sacrificed by the Aztec and Inca, allied with Spanish conquistadors to overthrow the tyrannical rule of peoples with African ancestry. It provides examples of how some Mongol groups sued the Spanish in colonial courts to claim rights and benefits promised to them for their service against the Aztec and Inca. The document also discusses how viceroy Francisco de Toledo later tried to destroy evidence of privileges granted to native allies of the Spanish and oppress their lineages.
1. The document provides context about Tampa Bay, Florida prior to Spanish contact, including that the Taino people had a vibrant civilization, economic systems, and governance structures that allowed sustainable living.
2. It discusses definitions of "civilization" and challenges Eurocentric views that defined civilization based on standards like writing, instead recognizing multiple civilizations.
3. It cautions against Eurocentric propaganda in some slides and provides context for indigenous peoples in the Americas and religious practices sometimes misunderstood by Europeans.

The document summarizes key aspects of California's history from the late 19th century to early 21st century based on chapters from the book "California: A History". It discusses how Josiah Royce viewed California as fostering a "Higher Provincial" culture that promoted independence and individualism. It also describes California's growth in industries like agriculture, literature, and its early leadership in fields like aviation, technology, and science that established it as a society seeking progress and utopia through these means.
This document does not have a clear topic and contains many disjointed sentences from different subject areas. It jumps between discussing agricultural practices, presidential elections, proposed mines, education, canals, cities' economies, scientific discoveries, languages, and more, without any clear overall theme or connection between the ideas.
The document summarizes information from several videos about history and ancient civilizations. It discusses the Little Ice Age period in Europe between the 14th-19th centuries and the impact of the Black Death plague. It also provides overviews of the story of God from a science and religion perspective, the Moorish rule in Spain, Jared Diamond's Guns, Germs and Steel theory about societal development, the Spanish conquistador Hernan Cortes and his conquest of the Aztec Empire, and the deciphering of the ancient Maya hieroglyphic code.
The document discusses a wide range of disjointed topics including the first bike track in Atlanta, chemistry, geography, history, languages, mythology, mathematics, science, politics, economics and more. It jumps abruptly between different people, places, events and concepts without any clear overall theme or connection between the various pieces of information provided.

The document discusses various topics including science and mathematics being encouraged by religious and political leaders in the 1800s, the number of Jews living in different places, printing traditions, studies related to sandpiles and networks, principles of ethics, literacy and art in ancient civilizations, telecommunications products, and the effects of earthquakes and tsunamis. It also briefly mentions several other disjointed topics without context or clear connection between the different statements.
At the same time as the American Revolution some amazing work was being done in the Pacific world. This was primarily the consequence of Captain James Cook's three voyages of discovery. This session will describe how the age-old problem of longitude was solved and how contact with aboriginal peoples was a sad counterpart to the Enlightenment discoveries of Oceania.
The document provides information on various topics related to European history from the arrival of early humans in Europe around 40,000 years ago to the industrial revolution. It discusses how early Europeans populated the continent after the last ice age and the spread of Christianity. It also covers the Silk Road, cultural exchange during the Mongol Empire, the Renaissance, inventions like the steam engine, and the social and environmental impacts of the industrial revolution.
Design On The Edge
Surprising and engaging readers is hard work. But that’s what great design does. Meanwhile, most art directors use the same handful of layouts and treatments repeatedly until, in weary desperation, someone calls for a redesign. DJ Stout will blow up that paradigm and demonstrate freshness and surprise in editorial design. Using examples from his own work and titles he admires, DJ will include university, regional, association, enthusiast, and national newsstand publications. The session will be highly interactive as DJ challenges participants to tackle real editorial design problems with fresh eyes and a new perspective.
DJ Stout has been a partner with Pentagram for the last 16 years, after designing Texas Monthly as its Art Director for the prior 13 years.
King Afonso I of Kongo and Emperor Qianlong of China both addressed issues involving trade with Western nations in the 15th-17th centuries. Afonso I wrote to Portugal about limiting the slave trade, which undermined his authority. Qianlong wrote to England establishing rules for trade at Guangzhou only. Both leaders provided important goods and sought to reform trade relations by imposing restrictions. The interview discusses two sisters who attended Notre Dame College in the mid-20th century, became nuns, and had careers in education. They grew up on a farm in Ohio and commented on farm life and chores.
The document discusses different types of hanging methods - short drop, standard drop and long drop. It also mentions Winston Churchill winning the Nobel Prize in 1953 for Literature.
1) The document discusses the history of California from the late 19th century to the mid 20th century, focusing on developments in infrastructure, agriculture, population growth, and key industries like aviation, film, and music.
2) Major events and developments discussed include the Wright Act promoting irrigation, construction of dams and bridges, growth of Los Angeles and San Francisco, the rise of the film industry in Southern California, and innovations in aviation, electronics, and music that defined California's culture.
3) Key industries like agriculture, aviation, film, and technology boomed with infrastructure developments and population growth, cementing California's prominence and culture.
Plato first mentioned Atlantis in his dialogues Timaeus and Critias written around 360 BC, describing it as a powerful naval empire located in the Atlantic Ocean beyond the "Pillars of Hercules" that attempted to invade Athens before sinking into the sea. Scholars debate whether Plato intended the story of Atlantis to be fictional or based on older traditions. The story of Atlantis had some believers in antiquity but was usually rejected or parodied, though it inspired later utopian works and continues to fascinate in modern literature, films, and theories about lost civilizations.
