Riferirsi, orientarsi, identificarsi per poter cambiare e scegliere più liberamente e consapevolmente, raccordando passato, presente e futuro, sono esigenze che hanno sentito tutte le generazioni umane, ma che oggi sono amplificate da un’inedita accelerazione. In una società in continua e rapida evoluzione nella quale la persona ideale dovrebbe essere dotata contemporaneamente di consapevolezza e di fantasia, di identità e di flessibilità, è interesse dei ricercatori, degli studiosi, degli insegnanti e di tutti coloro che indagano correttamente e in modo scientifico la storia trovare percorsi educativi efficaci per l’apprendimento delle competenze e delle conoscenze e per le attività formative. Le riflessioni proposte nel volume si focalizzano su alcuni aspetti che si ritengono fondamentali nella conoscenza attuale della storia: il patrimonio, l’ambiente, le modalità di acquisizione del sapere disciplinare. Considerazioni che partono dalla constatazione dell’importanza di un insegnamento che porti stimoli, entusiasmo e conquista personale; poiché ogni approdo è tanto più efficace, duraturo e soddisfacente quanto maggiore è il coinvolgimento dello studente nel sentirsi erede e protagonista della storia.

This has been a mosaic analysis on an important chunk of American and native American History. This story has been told a hundred and thousand times from a hundred and thousand perspectives, but never from this view. It is not ironic, that the story of America begins with the dream of India. In the Mahabharata, the Hindu’s epic poem of creation, which may be comparable to the mythological literature coopted by religious orders from all over the world, both structurally and thematically. Arjuna, the great warrior, had just returned from a gladiator match and shouted in excitement to inform his mother, Kunti, that he had won something so precious. Kunti, in her wisdom, surmised that since Arjuna had gone with his brothers, the Pandavas, said in her authoritative mode that "Whatever it is, share among all 5 of you". ‘Mother, but I have won my bride’, said Arjuna; her name is Draupadi. Kunti, who wouldn’t go back on her words, said:“You must share her with your brothers.”

A fresh and original translation from Sanskrit of the dashrajnya hymn (hymn 7.18 of Rig Veda) describing this defining battle between Aryan king Sudas and his Aryan as well as non-Aryan foes. The decisive battle led to the uprooting of many tribes from the Sapta Sindhu area.

Many existing beliefs are shown to be merely due to misunderstandings. Further, it is shown that the existing translations fall well short of the true meaning.
For example, no Matsya tribe was involved in this battle.

Este ensayo realiza una lectura heterotópica de Aguirre, La ira de Dios, una disección del filme bajo el concepto de heterotopía, desarrollado por Michel Foucault en su ensayo ”Of Other Spaces”. Foucault señala que la heterotopía es “Una especie de contestación simultánea, mítica y real del espacio..(24)”. Este concepto a través de algunos principios, logra subvertir el binarismo tiempo/espacio, permitiéndonos observar un plano más amplio de la Historia,  en el cual se rescata el protagonismo de la Naturaleza.

Artykuł przybliża przebieg współpracy agenturalnej ks. Tadeusza Dajczera z aparatem bezpieczeństwa PRL. Stanowi on uzupełnienie biografii warszawskiego duchownego i omawia nieznane wcześniej fakty z jego życiorysu. W tekście przeanalizowano przebieg werbunku kapłana, który mógł zostać sfinalizowany na skutek szantażu paszportowego. Decydujące w tym zakresie okazało się odczytanie intencji ks. Dajczera, który za wszelką cenę chciał wyjechać do Rzymu. Współpraca w okresie studiów w Wiecznym Mieście nie była szczególnie efektywna, aczkolwiek Departament I MSW przez cały ten czas pozyskiwał od duchownego informacje. Po powrocie do Polski kapłan nie odmówił dalszych kontaktów z SB, czego efektem były jego rozmowy z funkcjonariuszami Departamentu IV MSW. Ksiądz Dajczer przekazywał im m.in. informacje dotyczące pracowników naukowych ATK, w tym sekretarzy kard. Stefana Wyszyńskiego: ks. Józefa Glempa i ks. Bronisława Piaseckiego. Warszawskiemu kapłanowi mogło się wydawać, że prowadzi z SB „grę”, ale jej ofiarami były osoby, na temat których donosił. To, że w przekonaniu ks. Dajczera przekazywał on „bezpiece” informacje ogólne i łatwo dostępne, nie zmienia faktu, iż szkodził osobom, o których mówił. Na niekorzyść kapłana przemawia także to, że jego współpraca z SB była długoletnia. Jego kontakty z SB trwały (z przerwami) 21 lat, a okres rejestrowanej współpracy łącznie 16 lat.

On February 19, 2017, Dr. Paul Wolff would have turned 130 years old. Wolff was known worldwide especially for his pictures and books from the 1930s and 1940s. His posi- tion as one of the most successful photographers of the so called Third Reich has repeatedly been the subject of heat- ed debate due to the general politicization of that period.
A recently discovered portfolio from around 1933/34 repre- sents a significant new source, which testifies not only to the photographer’s multifaceted pictorial repertoire but also to his strategic self-promotion. It will be shown that Wolff selectively used stylistic ambivalences to reach as broad a market as possible, while at the same time demonstrating
a clear political affinity. The portfolio exemplifies Wolff’s marketing strategies, which also generally reflect the aspects of modern design. The example of Dr. Paul Wolff shows that photography was an important component of National Socialist cultural politics, but also that this topic is still underestimated by researchers.

Au cours de nombreux siècles où le fait religieux a posé sa marque sur l’évolution de nombreuses sociétés, l’Islam, en tant que credo et pratique culturelle et sociale, a été mobilisé dans de différentes configurations politiques (A. Mohamed-Ali, 2015, 19) ; ceci étant aussi valable pour les espaces dans lesquels il se pratique notamment les mosquées. N’a-t-on pas souvent qualifié cette religion d’éminemment politique en s’appuyant sur le fait que la source de la divergence entre sunnites et chiites soit à l’origine politique ? Ce d’autant plus qu’elle concerne les candidats à une succession ? D’ailleurs, l’Islam, où la profession de foi par les fidèles est devenue très tôt la base de l’action et du comportement politique, a revêtu un caractère martial en acquérant de vastes territoires par la guerre (B. Lewis,1991, 68). Aujourd’hui encore et dans un contexte sécuritaire particulier post attentats du 11 septembre 2001, cette religion fait l’objet de nombreuses attaques et ceci ne va pas sans susciter des inquiétudes quant au discours qui est tenu dans les mosquées. Cette fébrilité injustifiée prend une connotation spéciale dans les États de l’Afrique centrale, soumis aux luttes politiques et autres querelles de leadership dans des contextes de transition incertaine. Par conséquent, les divergences régionales sont instrumentalisées sous fond d’appartenance religieuse. Ainsi, les mosquées, espaces de culte et lieux de socialisation, deviennent des cibles d’attaques terroristes. Cette situation est particulièrement visible au Nigeria, au Tchad, au Nord Cameroun et en RCA. Comment comprendre cet état de fait ? Les leaders religieux auraient-ils failli à leur devoir de neutralité vis-à-vis des acteurs politiques ou ces derniers seraient-ils devenus acteurs ou agents instrumentalisés d’une situation que beaucoup pensent téléguidée de l’extérieur ? [1] Les appels au calme lancés par les Imams et leurs prises de position contre le terrorisme sont-ils interprétés comme des signes d’allégeance vis-à-vis des « infidèles » ? Ainsi, nous comptons dans cette contribution, présenter d’abord le rôle de la mosquée comme espace de socialisation, ensuite examiner les différents enjeux politiques qu’elle représente désormais et enfin décrypter les enjeux de cette politisation.

The article puts forward a new hypothesis concerning the origin of the goddess of Ekron, mentioned in Ekron's royal dedicatory inscription from the early 7th century . Contrary to a widely held view, it is suggested that the origin of the Philistine Goddess of Ekron should not be sought in the Aegean world but rather in northern Syria.

Lucrarea propune o abordare nouă în istoriografia românească, și anume relația dintre muzică și puterea politică în Moldova și Țara Românească în secolele XV-XVIII. Mai exact, prin acest demers se încearcă relevarea modului în care domnul este evidențiat și reprezentat în public prin intermediul muzicii – cum anume ajută muzica la manifestarea preeminenței domnești. Atât în Occident, cât și în Orient, muzica a fost un atribut al suveranității și, de aceea, relația avută în vedere este mult mai importantă decât se crede la o primă vedere. Prin intermediul celor douăsprezece capitole, autonome din punct de vedere al conținutului, dar unitare prin prisma ideii centrale, sunt prezentate diversele formații muzicale întâlnite la curtea domnească, cea mai importantă dintre ele fiind meterhaneaua, cea care evidențiază cel mai fidel relația muzică‒putere politică, cu un bogat bagaj simbolic. De asemenea, lucrarea este o reevaluare a istoriei muzicii vechi românești, insuficient studiată în România, pornind de la identificarea corectă a tuturor formațiilor muzicale întâlnite la curtea domnească, a instrumentelor muzicale, dar și a termenilor muzicali, întrucât în istoriografia românească dedicată subiectului s-au strecurat multe confuzii și inadvertențe, unele cauzate de traduceri greșite ale izvoarelor literare referitoare la muzică.

ABSTRACT:
In this particular thesis which is entitled as “COMPERATIVE STUDY OF SELECTED GEOLOGICAL TEXTBOOKS: VOLCANISM AND HEAT INSIDE EARTH”, the aiming goal is analyzing and studying selected textbooks of geology - first generally in total and then especially in volcanism and heat inside earth - based to methology of Maria Drakopoulou, Constantinos Skordoulis and Crystallia Chalkia as referenced in “Critical Analysis of School Science Textbooks” and configured to meet the requirements of geological science.

La storia di una città passa anche attraverso la storia delle Sue Istituzioni, pubbliche e private, e di quanti si sono succeduti alla sua guida.
È questa la valenza del mio studio che Vi invito a leggere.
Il volume descrive le tre massime Compagnie, nate intorno a1 1500, e nella fattispecie le Compagnie della Carità, della Pace e dei Bianchi, alcune talora vigenti, e con tale descrizione, il lettore, si troverà proiettato all’interno della Palermo antica, quindi della storia di Palermo e la nostra storia.
Dalla lettura dello studio, sono riproposti i motivi della loro fondazione, gli scopi, l’utilità pubblica dell’Istituzione stessa, si pensi alla Compagnia della Pace, quella che io definisco, naturalmente,
l’antenata della moderna struttura del Giudice di Pace ma con purtroppo le storture dei tempi moderni; nella narrazione si evidenziano e si delineano i poteri e le forze in campo sul territorio, un territorio in cui si affiancano e si sovrappongono la vita istituzionale e la vita dei cittadini in centinaia e centinaia di anni.
Dalla documentazione raccolta emerge, chiaramente articolata, una mappa di amministratori, ufficiali, funzionari, sicura espressione dello spazio politico e sociale della città, che permette, quindi, di definire l’ampio perimetro dell’area del potere cittadino, ed in fondo, della vita stessa della città, una città ricca di storia e di cultura, interessante, intrigante, misteriosa malgrado sia illuminata da un sole spesso accecante. 
Palermo e una città sempre tesa, nel rispetto e nel riconoscimento della propria storia, ad affermare la giusta identità, talvolta ottusamente offuscata e confusa.
Vi lascio, con queste poche parole, alla lettura di questo libro che non può e non deve mancare nella libreria di una persona colta che ha a cuore la storia della Sua città e non solo.

Boardgame con mappe e pedine. Fantascienza.
Dopo la caduta del muro di Berlino nel 1989, in Italia, in
maniera strisciante, si venne a formare una classe politica
protesa verso la difesa di una “casta” dai valori morali
decadenti. Nonostante alcuni tentativi democratici di
ristabilire l’ordine e la disciplina, col passare degli anni
verso il 2030 si venne a stabilire nella Penisola un ordinamento
politico assai discutibile. La privatizzazione dei
servizi pubblici (acqua, elettricità, sanità, trasporti, previdenza
sociale, istruzione, sicurezza) e la crescita interna
del malcontento portò la Repubblica alla soglia di una
guerra civile, che vide il formarsi di forze di regime contrapposte
a delle vere e proprie formazioni paramilitari,
che presero il nome di Corporazioni.
La presente simulazione militare prende spunto da quegli
avvenimenti per creare un boardgame che soltanto a
prima vista sembra ricreare avvenimenti ucronici, anacronistici
e di fantasia.

Documentary film practice inflects and is in turn also inflected by the theories and practices around the study of the archive. Documenting the Archive will be a forum for theoretical and methodological interventions in cinema and media studies by invoking the archive’s historical and theoretical relationship with cinema, especially documentary film practice. This conference pushes the boundaries of cinema and media studies to ask what domains of critical inquiry, forms of experience, and historiographic methodologies emerge by examining the multifarious relations between documentary and archives.

Wenn man nach Weltreisenden fragt, fällt einem unter anderem Marco Polo ein. Das hat seinen Grund: Marco Polo ist bekannt für seine Reisen und seine Abenteuerlust, er ist der erste Europäer, der so viele Meilen zurückgelegt und fremde Kulturen, wie zum Beispiel China, bereist und Schriften darüber verfasst hat. Doch vergleicht man Marco Polo mit Ibn Battuta, so sieht man, dass dieser weitaus mehr Orte bereiste als Marco Polo.

T. Jack Thompson, a father of missionary photography research, takes a focused look at missionary photography in Africa during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. His book Light on Darkness? is part of the Studies in the History of Christian Missions series, published by Eerdmans.

In Rig veda, Indra is treated much like a celebrity sportsperson of today.

This original translation from Sanskrit, of Hymn 3.45 of Rigveda, just as my other translations, demonstrates how lucid and lively the hymns of Rigveda are, in contrast to the almost abstract work of all previous translators.

Neben den auf sich genommenen Kämpfen gegen die Kumanen wandte sich die Aufmerksamkeit des Deutschen Ordens in den ersten Jahrzehnten des 13. Jahrhunderts in erster Linie der Levanteregion zu. In diese Konzeption fügte sich auch die Frage der Besitztümer im Burzenland, und es ist auch kein Zufall, daß der Hochmeister Hermann von Salza gleich
nach seinem Amtsantritt (1209) die Besitzungen des Deutschen Ordens an den Anmarschwegen der Kreuzzüge nacheinander besichtigte, und im Zuge dessen, im April 1212 der Orden auch weitere Schenkungen erhielt von Leon II., König von Kilikien, der als Halbbruder (confrater) selbst in den Deutschen Orden eintrat.4 In dem zweiten Jahrzehnt des 13. Jahrhunderts hat der Orden mit einer planmäßigen Besitzerweiterung im Heiligen Land angefangen.

Guerrillero, bandolero, pastor, caudillo de la libertad hispana, soberano céltico cuasi divino, prototipo de nobleza bárbara... la figura de Viriato ha tenido muchas y muy diversas interpretaciones, ya desde la antigüedad clásica.  Aunque durante mucho tiempo se daba por hecho su nacimiento en la Sierra de la Estrella, en el actual norte portugués, y su origen humilde, algunos autores como García Moreno o Pérez Villatela le hacen oriundo de la zona meridional de la Lusitania, en la frontera de la Beturia céltica. Como caudillo de un ejército que llevó la guerra a gran parte de la Provincia Ulterior romana y con expediciones también a la Citerior, infringirá a sus legiones algunas de las más humillantes derrotas de su historia, y llegará a controlar la mayor parte del mediodía peninsular.

This book analyses how authoritarian rulers of Southeast Asian countries maintain their durability in office, and, in this context, explains why some movements of civil society organizations succeed while others fail to achieve their demands. It discusses the relationship between the state-society-business in the political survival context. As the first comparative analysis of strategies of regime survival across Southeast Asia, this book also provides an in-depth insight into the various opposition movements, and the behaviour of antagonistic civic and political actors in the region.

Manuscripts from the Tulczyn Library in the archives of the Kraków Learned Society: provenance studies on a scattered collection
In 1862, the Kraków Learned Society received a valuable gift from Michał Konarski from Odessa, which included manuscripts from the famous Tulczyn Library of the Potocki famili. However, information abaut the collection and the possibility of identifying manuscript items were lost alredy in the early 20 th century, after item numbers were changed and individual manuscripts scattered, and Jan Czubek failed to include provenience data in the PAAS catalogue of manuscripts. The aim of my work was firstly to verify Bogumiła Schnaydrowa's findings from 1969 and to fully identyfy the 130 volumens of manuscripts from Tulczyn in the present collection of manuscripts of the Scientific Library of the PAAS and the PAS in Kraków, witch was conducted on the basis of the list drawn up by Count Piotr Moszyński (edited in this article), stamps and provenience notes.

1. Approaching you, we call upon you o Dawn, of red appearance, be produced in the east, in between darkness and the brightness of the Sun. This composition by the human beings of this habitation that have come together to sing to the red, moving mother. 2. Fall down over us o red one, of the Sun, cover now those sacrificing jointly to you o Dawn, singing together. Destroy the deamons, as you did when urged on earlier. Be furious, red like the Sun, we seek your protection. 3. We pray to the lady in the three sacred languages, turn by turn, as a team, sounding loudly. Promote us, o good doer, o good donor, bestow upon the tribe, delighting with gifts for the sake of the pressing out by the host. 4. Like the breast uncovered by the dancer as she discards her decorative garments, you are the nipple of the morning light. Light up this world, hear the song of the people, spread over our settlement o Dawn. 5. Shine upon the injurers, let us see them, stay and drive away the evil monsters. With this skillful, decorated ceremony, we have approached the beautiful, divine daughter of the Sun. 6. Destroy fully the darkness, master it completely o lady, light up as you move, do hear us. We worship with this pleasing speech, o beautiful Dawn, we wish to obtain your favours through this song.
