Abstract In the opening keynote speech at the Eighth International Conference on the History of Records and Archives (I-CHORA 8) in Melbourne, Australia, the author provided an overview of archival displacement as an historical phenomenon, before concentrating on postcolonial cases and arguing for a fuller global history of the displacement of archives during decolonisation. The talk concluded with some thoughts on future directions for research on displaced archives. Understanding the term “displaced archives” to refer to any records that have been removed from the context of their creation and whose ownership is disputed, this short article elaborates further upon a potential research agenda for displaced archives, which remains an under-researched area in archival studies.

The notes and transcriptions that Alexander Vassiliev made during several years of work in the archive of the former KGB resolve many of the early Cold War's espionage cases. Hitherto unexploited materials in the collection relate directly to the case of the diplomat Alger Hiss. They conclusively show that Hiss was, as Whittaker Chambers charged more than six decades ago, an agent of Soviet military intelligence (GRU) in the 1930s. With other evidence, Vassiliev's notebooks also establish with very high probability that Hiss was the Soviet agent “Ales” mentioned in a much-disputed Venona cable. This article provides a systematic review of the evidence on the case.

Royal Society Open Science 8, no. 8 (2021): 202013. http://dx.doi.org/10.1098/rsos.202013.
Full textAbstract:
Conodont elements, microfossil remains of extinct primitive vertebrates, are commonly exploited as mineral archives of ocean chemistry, yielding fundamental insights into the palaeotemperature and chemical composition of past oceans. Geochemical assays have been traditionally focused on the so-called lamellar and white matter crown tissues; however, the porosity and crystallographic nature of the white matter and its inferred permeability are disputed, raising concerns over its suitability as a geochemical archive. Here, we constrain the characteristics of this tissue and address conflicting interpretations using ptychographic X-ray-computed tomography (PXCT), pore network analysis, synchrotron radiation X-ray tomographic microscopy (srXTM) and electron back-scatter diffraction (EBSD). PXCT and pore network analyses based on these data reveal that while white matter is extremely porous, the pores are unconnected, rendering this tissue closed to postmortem fluid percolation. EBSD analyses demonstrate that white matter is crystalline and comprised of a single crystal typically tens of micrometres in dimensions. Combined with evidence that conodont elements grow episodically, these data suggest that white matter, which comprises the denticles of conodont elements, grows syntactically, indicating that individual crystals are time heterogeneous. Together these data provide support for the interpretation of conodont white matter as a closed geochemical system and, therefore, its utility of the conodont fossil record as a historical archive of Palaeozoic and Early Mesozoic ocean chemistry.

Full Fact is an independent, non-partisan fact-checking charity. A particular focus is the analysis of factual claims in political debate in the UK; for example, fact-checking claims and counterclaims made during Prime Minister’s questions. Facts do not appear in a vacuum as they are often used as key elements in an effort to make a coherent argument. This paper describes a number of case histories where facts are disputed, drawn from our election work, to give an overview of the contemporary state of statistical literacy among politicians and the media. Common pitfalls in politicians’ claims are set out, along with descriptions of our attempts to close the communication gap between different communities.

Full textAbstract:
Based on archival materials left by the Ottomans, it has become incumbent upon the Ottoman or Balkan historian to investigate and analyze as objectively as possible the history of Ottoman rule in this region. Among all the documents contained in the Ottoman archives those of the judicial records (Shari’ah or Qadi Sijils) are considered to be the most important. In them we have both a reliable objective source and a chronology of history with regard to the Balkans and other regions. These records were not merely compilations of bureaucratic, administrative and verbose data relating only to judicial, social, architectural, economic, and agricultural undertones. These facts are already explicitly stated in the Sijils themselves. It is, however, implicit facts which are of great importance and which are of enormous historical significance. Demographic structure is among the most complicated and disputed issue among the historians of religion and social sciences. Taking into consideration the objective data found in the Shari’ah Sijils, particularly to those pertaining to the most important district of the Ottomans in the Balkans namely Manastir (today Bitola), the subject of demography will be analyzed as objectively as possible. In addition, in this article, both explicit and implicit facts will be studied.

Full textAbstract:
In 2013, an international Court of Arbitration delivered a two-part decision on the legality of the Kishenganga Hydro-Electric Plant, located in the internationally disputed territory of Kashmir. The court was convened under procedures detailed in the Indus Waters Treaty of 1960, a landmark international water treaty between Pakistan and India mediated by the World Bank in the 1950s. The Kishenganga case is part of the ongoing hydropolitical competition between Pakistan and India over the use of Indus waters and the development of new infrastructures on the river system. This paper draws on critical water geography and geopolitical theory to guide a close, critical, and contextual reading of competing interpretations of the purpose and objective of the Indus Waters Treaty made during the Kishenganga case. It argues that two specific geopolitical imperatives powerfully shaped the legal strategies of state elites: downstream territorialism and basin developmentalism. Pakistani lawyers drew on the treaty negotiation archives to argue that its primary objective and purpose was the protection of vulnerable downstream territories. Indian lawyers, however, drew on the text of the treaty and the archives to argue the primary objective was the maximum economic development of the Indus Basin. I also discuss the relationship of these imperatives with David Harvey’s influential understanding of capitalist states acting under the dual pressures of the “territorial” and “capitalist” imperatives. By analyzing how geopolitical imperatives shape strategies of treaty interpretation, the paper develops a legal and geopolitical contribution to critical water geography. The paper also makes a methodological contribution by demonstrating how treaty negotiation archives represent a rich and underutilized resource for hydropolitical analysis.

Full textAbstract:
The Irish in Newfoundland have developed their culture and identity over the past 300 years in the context of the island’s changing political status from independent territory, to British colony, and to Canadian province (since 1949). Newfoundland song, dance and dialect all display evident Irish features and have played an important role in the marketing of the province as a tourist destination. Recent provincial government initiatives to forge contacts with Celtic Tiger Ireland and thus revive this powerfully “imagined” Atlantic network have also contributed to the notion of the “Irishness” of Newfoundland culture. The narrative of Newfoundland as an Irish place, however, has always been (and continues to be) contested; this is most evident in a local discourse of space and place that is grounded in two predominant narratives of the Newfoundland nation: Republican and Confederate. The author illustrates how this contested spatial discourse has recently played out over the disputed terrain of theThe Rooms, the new home of Newfoundland’s provincial museum, art gallery and archives.

Full textAbstract:
The history of archives is very old. Thousands of clay tablets dating into to the third and second millennium B.C were found in cities such as Elba, Syria (2350 B.C.). These archives have been fundamental for understanding ancient alphabets, languages, culture, political and social structure prevailing in those time. Archives were established by the Church from the fifth century and are kept till nowadays. People started to register and record their activity and events, in the rocks, animal bones and skin. Archives play an important role in the nation memory. Archives and records are important for organizations, individuals and the community. They give and provide us an evidence and information about past events and actions. Record keeping has a long history in different civilization, and archives transfer to us the evaluation of the human mind and the understanding of different events during the history, like the collapse of civilization, boundaries dispute, wars that decimated the humans... Archives collect original unpublished material or primary sources; these records are unique and irreparable. If an archival record is damaged, stolen or exposed to various dangers such as wars and terrorist attacks, the information it contains is lost forever. Archives can be an incredibly rich holder of information that should be kept according to legislation and regulations in favour of the archive staff or its clients and should enable the scientific, legal and public use of preserved archival records. This paper will describe in brief these uses and reflect to National Records and Archives Authority in Oman as example.

El trabajo tiene por objeto mostrar cómo, a causa de la inexistencia en Castilla de archivo real hasta 1540 y por el cuidado que las catedrales y los monasterios tuvieron de sus archivos, estos pudieron defender sus derechos y sus patrimonios en la Real Chancillería de Valladolid, en caso de que se les disputaran, aportando como pruebas los documentos reales que conservaron en sus archivos. En el alto tribunal vallisoletano se sacaron y guardaron las copias de los documentos presentados en los pleitos, por lo que se conservó en su archivo parte de los testimonios de la gracia regia que los monarcas castellanos otorgaron a monasterios y catedrales y no guardaron en el archivo real en la Edad Media, como sí hizo, entre otros, el monasterio de Santa María la Real de las Huelgas de Valladolid, cuyos documentos han sido fuente esencial en este trabajo.The purpose of the work is to show how, due to the absence in Castile of a royal archive until 1540, and thanks to the care taken by cathedrals and monasteries of their institutional archives, they were able to defend their rights and their estates before the Royal Chancellery of Valladolid in case of a dispute by presenting as evidence the actual documents that they preserved in their archives. Copies of the documents presented in the trials of the high tribunal of Valladolid were taken from and kept in its archives. Hence, part of the evidence of royal grants that the Castilian monarchs conferred on monasteries and cathedrals that were not kept in a royal archive were preserved in those of the Chancellery. This is the case of the monastery of Santa María la Real de las Huelgas of Valladolid, whose documents have been an essential source for this study.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis examines the Vienna Convention on succession of States in respect of State Property, Archives and Debts, which was adopted in 1983 but subsequently failed to enter into force as too few states ratified it. Attention is given to the section of the Convention concerned specifically with the fate of archives in state succession, and the reasons why most of the major western nations, in particular those who had formerly or still possessed colonies, voted against the text. Given that this thesis analyses the failure of the Convention largely in terms of the political and historical circumstances surrounding it, particular attention is given to the context of decolonisation and Third World activism which sought to combat the neocolonial order which followed decolonisation, as well as the relative decline in power of the Third World during the debt crises of the 1980s. The context of historical efforts to resolve archival disputes and create legal frameworks in which to do so is also examined, before considering some of the most irreconcilable points of contention at the conference itself in part three. The concluding section considers some of the criticism leveled at the conference in its aftermath, in particular claims from those western nations which voted against it, while looking at both the subsequent consequences of this failure and the prospects for future agreements. This is a two years master's thesis in Archival Science.<br>Denna uppsats granskar Wienkonventionen om statssuccession med avseende på statlig egendom, arkiv och skulder, som antogs 1983 men därefter inte trädde i kraft eftersom alltför få stater ratificerade den. Fokus läggs på den del av konventionen som berör statsarkiv specifikt, och skälen till varför de flesta av de stora länderna i väst, särskilt de som tidigare eller fortfarande hade kolonier, röstade emot avtalet. Med tanke på att denna uppsats analyserar misslyckandet av konventionen till stor del med avseende på de politiska och historiska omständigheterna kring den, ägnas särskild uppmärksamhet åt kontexten av avkolonisering och tredje världsaktivismen som försökte bekämpa den neokoloniala ordningen som följde avkoloniseringen, såväl som den relativa maktminskningen i tredje världen under skuldkrisen på 1980-talet. Kontexten för historiska försök att lösa arkivtvister och skapa rättsliga ramar för att göra det undersöks också. Sedan diskuteras några av de mest oförenliga ståndpunkterna vid själva konferensen i del tre. I den avslutande delen granskas en del av den kritik som riktades mot konferensen i dess efterdyningar, särskilt påståenden från de västländer som röstade emot den, samtidigt som man tittar på de efterföljande konsekvenserna av detta misslyckande och utsikterna för framtida avtal.

Full textAbstract:
In the Akizuki Kyodo Kan in Fukuoka Prefecture stands a pair of Japanese screens, produced
in 1838 to commemorate the suppression of the Shimabara Rebellion (1637-8). The rebellion is
significant because it essentially marks the end of the "Christian Century" (1549-1650) or Namban
(Southern Barbarian) era and the beginning of two hundred years of Tokugawa domination and Japanese isolation. In looking at the screens and proceeding through their narrative, we find ourselves impressed with their representation of military force and effort that was needed to suppress the rebellion. Yet anyone familiar with the story of the Shimabara Rebellion soon realizes that the depiction on the screens is much different from the renditions of the same event with which many Japanese today are accustomed. Pictorial choices made during the screens' production in the nineteenth-century result in a visual presentation that is completely in favour of the government forces, rather than the Christian defenders led by now folk-legend Amakusa Shiro. What is passed down to us then is a visual product, in the guise of victorious commemoration, that reflects the social conditions of the 1830s when the screens were made, one which expresses the concerns of the ruling elite in the wake of serious political and social discontent. However it is not my aim only to exercise a form of social art history to place the screens in their contemporary context. In working through various Japanese and Western documents from different times regarding the rebellion, my research has shown significant disparities amongst these
representations. Yet it is through these very archival disparities - distortions, contradictions, and omissions - that the process of how history is formulated and constructed is revealed. By expanding beyond sources traditionally associated with the screens (for example Japanese literature, diaries, official records, and Western historical interpretations) to consider a wider range of sources including
tombstones and memorial monuments and anti-Christian propaganda, my thesis will work to show how information is crafted to fit specific social, political, or ideological positions. Such crafting of history, in this case manifested in the various constructs of the Shimabara Rebellion, is achieved by the drawing together of a number of discourses: traditional Japanese war and peasant narratives, Christian martyrdom stories, and folklore constructed around notions of heroism and sacrifice. In the end, I hope to show that the historically incongruous, which is often shunted aside with academic disdain, can be valuable in understanding history. Though stripping away ambiguities or contradictions may reveal a common linear thread, such an endeavour also detracts from the richness and complexity of the narrative, perhaps even shrouding the more sinister mechanisms of the historical process. In approaching an amended archive with this concern in mind provides us with the means to
measure Japanese and Western attitudes regarding Christian and foreign influence in the country, the
legacy that persists into the present, and the process by which this legacy is affected and shaped over time. In recognizing the forces that affect the documenting of history, and how they are articulated pictorially in the Akizuki screens, we can more clearly appreciate the subtle and ingenious relationship between power and knowledge.<br>Arts, Faculty of<br>Art History, Visual Art and Theory, Department of<br>Graduate

Ali, Abdallah Ahmed. "Le statut juridique de Mayotte. Concilier droit interne et droit international ; réconcilier la France et les Comores." Thesis, La Réunion, 2011. http://www.theses.fr/2011LARE0015.
Full textAbstract:
Tout semble avoir été dit sur Mayotte, les Comores et la France, or le statut juridique de ce territoire n'a pas encore livré tous ses secrets, ni épuisé tous ses effets. La problématique générale de cette thèse consiste à savoir comment ce statut juridique de Mayotte peut rendre compte de la double identité, de la double appartenance de cette île. La réponse à cette question générale se décline en deux aspects très complémentaires : 1) Peut-on penser Mayotte abritée du droit international ? La réponse à cette question est négative ; 2) Peut-on penser Mayotte uniquement par référence au droit de l'État français ? Là aussi, la réponse est négative. La thèse défendue s'illustre comme suit : elle préconise la vocation internationale du statut de Mayotte et la vocation franco-comorienne de celui-ci. La vocation internationale du statut de Mayotte part de l'idée qu'il faut, aujourd'hui, dépasser le statu quo qui préside au différend territorial entre la France et les Comores. Ce statu quo est l'expression d'un antagonisme et d'un « silence » sur les rapports entre droit interne et droit international. Ce « silence » montre une opposition entre les Comores pro-internationalistes et la France, pro-interniste. Aucun dialogue ne s'ensuit. Les solutions du droit international sont au nombre de deux : une solution stricte, par application du principe de l'uti possidetis juris, soit le rattachement du territoire de Mayotte aux Comores. Une seconde solution très innovante consisterait en l'exercice d'une co-souveraineté franco-comorienne sur Mayotte. En l'état des forces politiques, les solutions du droit international paraissent délicates à mettre en oeuvre. Aussi la thèse du maintien de Mayotte française semble devoir l'emporter, mais dans une perspective modernisée. Voilà quelle pourrait être l'issue du dialogue droit interne et droit international. La vocation franco-comorienne de Mayotte signifie que le maintien de Mayotte française doit se penser en termes de double appartenance. Le renoncement, accepté par l'État comorien, devra être accompagné d'une coopération internationale bilatérale forte. C'est pourquoi le statut mahorais doit se penser en termes de double identité. Dans ces conditions, un dialogue véritable entre l'État français et l'État Comorien sur Mayotte française serait établi. On peut penser ce dialogue durable car il ne tend à donner une satisfaction exclusive ni à l'un ou ni à l'autre des protagonistes. Autant le dialogue droit interne et droit international favorise les intérêts de l'État français ; autant le dialogue qui s'ensuit doit satisfaire les deux parties. Ainsi, afin de répondre aux interrogations soulevées par notre problématique et pour mieux les appréhender, notre étude est divisée en deux parties. La première est consacrée à la vocation internationale du statut de Mayotte. La deuxième partie présente la vocation franco-comorienne du statut de cette île<br>The case of Mayotte has been extensively studied. However unresolved issues regarding the legal status of the territory persist, owing to Mayotte belonging to both the Comoros and France. This study examines how the legal status of Mayotte can reflect its double identity. To answer this question, it is necessary to envision two complementary aspects of the problem: is Mayotte immune from international law? The answer is no; does Mayotte fall exclusively under French law? Again, the answer is no. This thesis reveals the opportunity for Mayotte to define itself both as an international and as a French Comorian territory. Embracing its international vocation, Mayotte would move beyond the statu quo that stems from the territorial dispute between France and the Comoros. The current situation is the symptom of an antagonism between international and domestic law which explains the absence of discussion over the case of Mayotte. The Comoros promotes international law whereas France is in favour of internal law. There are two main international law solutions: a strict one, by the application of the principle of “uti possidetis juris”, in other words the unification of Mayotte territory with Comoros. The second solution is an innovative one which would consist in a French-Comorian shared sovereignty concerning Mayotte. Considering political forces, it does not seem easy to implement international law solutions. Also, in a modernized perspective, the thesis of maintaining a French Mayotte island is to be promoted. This could eventually be the solution of internal law and international law. French-Comorian purpose about Mayotte means that the maintaining of a French Mayotte island should be thought in terms of a double belonging. The renunciation, accepted by the Comorian state, should have to be associated with a strong bilateral international cooperation. That is why the status of Mayotte also has to be thought in terms of a double identity. In these conditions, a real dialogue can be established between France and the Comoros about a French Mayotte. Thus, long-standing talks are possible because none of the protagonists will be given exclusive satisfaction. Even though the internal law and international law dialogue encourages French interests, the dialogue which follows has to satisfy both parties. Thus, to answer the questions raised by our problematic, we have divided our study into two parts, the first one is devoted to the international purpose of Mayotte’s status and the second one deals with its French-Comorian purpose

Full textAbstract:
Chris Wickham’s chapter on ‘Land disputes and their social framework in Lombard- Carolingian Italy’ set the tone for a generation of scholarship, revealing, like other chapters in the same book, the utility of dispute records for writing the social history of early medieval Europe. Societal changes are nowhere more obvious than in the disputes to which they give rise. It is no accident, therefore, that documents generated by law courts have been central to historiography concerned with the nature and sharpness of social change in the post-Carolingian West, to which Chris has also contributed significantly. Increasingly after c.800, however, Italian law court records look to become less useful as social documents because they come to follow a very limited number of formulaic templates, which erased any points in dispute and cast claims in court as undefended. This chapter argues that social changes can still be detected in such documents, though less through their texts than through their patterns of preservation. It shows how in two cases—the abbey of Monte Amiata and the ecclesiastical institutions in Piacenza—the shape of archives of law court documents mirrors and is related to the crystallization of local power into the hands of restricted elite groups focused on single families. In doing so it addresses the current debate, arising largely out of French examples, about the appearance and reality of a ‘transformation’ in Western society around the year 1000.

Full textAbstract:
An exhaustive biography of French neuropsychiatrist Georges Gilles de la Tourette (1857–1904) has never been undertaken. Gilles de la Tourette worked closely with the nineteenth-century founder of neurology in Paris, Jean-Martin Charcot. His name is universally known because of the eponymous, disabling syndrome that affects 0.9% of children/adolescents. Unpublished family archives, as well as Gilles de la Tourette’s correspondence with the Parisian journalist Georges Montorgueil, conserved at the national Archives in Paris, were examined together with press and police archives to portray Georges Gilles de la Tourette’s family and professional life in an original light. These archives have never before been studied or made available to the public. How the eponymous syndrome was isolated, the errors initially made in its description, the hidden role of Jean-Martin Charcot, and the disputes with other authors are covered in detail based on multiple sources, original or already published. An in-depth analysis of the genesis of Gilles de la Tourette’s prolific neurological and psychiatric works within their historical context rounds out this biography. Major figures of neurology of the time are also featured—including Freud, Charcot and his son, Brissaud, and Babiński. Interwoven with Gilles de la Tourette’s life and times are discussions of politics, theater, literature, the 1900 Paris World’s Fair, and numerous letters exchanged with Jules Claretie of the Académie Française to highlight his significant involvement in each of these domains. The book concludes with a complete bibliography of all works written by Gilles de la Tourette, compiled for the first time.

Full textAbstract:
With the benefit of hindsight, presenting the Treaty of Versailles as an example of ‘peace through law’ might seem like a provocation. And yet, the extreme variety and innovativeness of international procedural and substantial ‘experiments’ attempted as a result of the Treaty of Versailles and the other Paris Peace Treaties of 1919–1920 remain striking even today. While many of these ‘experiments’ had a lasting impact on international law and dispute settlement after the Second World War, and considerably broadened the very idea of ‘peace through law’, they have often disappeared from collective memories. Relying on both legal and historical research, this book provides a global overview of how the Paris Peace Treaties impacted on dispute resolution in the interwar period, both substantially and procedurally. The book’s accounts of several all-but-forgotten international tribunals and their case law include references to archival records and photographic illustrations.

The Introduction situates the chapters within the frame of Chris Wickham’s own trajectory of scholarship. It emphasizes Chris’s commitment to working across national linguistic and historiographical boundaries, and outlines how the editors to arrange the chapters so that they respond not only to Chris’s more recent, pan-European studies, but also to specifics of his archival work on Tuscany, including his work on dispute settlement. The introduction highlights the problems of written records, as well as the importance of new archaeological data for examining the late Roman transition and settlement patterns. Finally, it highlights the utility of looking for comparisons, for which Chris is rightly celebrated.

This chapter examines documentary culture in eighteenth-century Rajasthan through an exploration of the legal archive—the Sanad Parwana Bahis—of the kingdom of Jodhpur. More particularly, it studies the petitions that were written in the course of a series of protracted disputes during which the ceremonial and ritual claims made by low-caste Sunars were contested by upper castes. The increasing importance of the written record in the administration and courts both caused, and was an outcome of a nascent “literate mentality” that existed even amongst those social groups like the Sunars who were not traditionally associated with scribal work. What is particularly telling is the shift from oral testimonies to written evidence as verifiable and authentic, both in the royal courts and in lower assemblies like caste councils. The pervasive culture of record keeping, and the significance of writing both for the state and its subjects at this time allows us to interrogate any easy bifurcation between the modern and the premodern.

Full textAbstract:
This collection of essays shows that Transatlantic Studies allows for a wealth of topics and approaches—even as key methodological questions remain unresolved and the very legitimacy of Transatlantic Studies as such is still under dispute. This volume has sought to advance the discussion by putting the disputes surrounding the field front and center. The field need not reach consensus in order to thrive. Yet in order to be productive, every debate needs to start from an agreement about underlying principles. These would include the basic idea that it is valuable to study and teach the cultural archive in an academic context, or that a deep understanding of that archive can only be achieved through engagement with the languages in which that archive was written. These values have come under question, however, as an increasing number of colleges and universities have eliminated programs, courses, and faculty lines dedicated to serious work in the humanities. And if we cannot afford to disregard our institutional context, we also cannot ignore the changing tone of political discourse, as different forms of nativism and populist nationalism rear their heads across the world.

Full textAbstract:
The claim to rationality is disputed by two rival enlightenments, which collided in the dispute between Plato, Socrates and the Sophists, and which Marx united critically. He criticizes the capitalist system immanently as restrictive of production, and its market as not a case of freedom or equality (justice). However, Marx is most concerned with ontological injustice, coerced alienation of the human into being a commodity. He retains Promethean Enlightenment values however: technology, creativity, democracy, which should be economic, participatory and international. Marx criticized Hegel’s rationalization, idealization, ‘transfiguration and glorification’ of private property and the market. But he retains key elements of the idealist notion of human nature: that human is a ‘universal, therefore free being.’ The proletariat, with no other class to exploit, is therefore the philosophical ‘universal class.’ Freedom is class emancipation, justice is common ownership. There is an unwarranted skepticism about the rationality of such values and ideals. Rawls for instance misrepresents them by putting them in the same category as wants or preferences. Ideals, values, and enlightenments can and should be rationally argued over, in dialogue.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter examines important changes in the way debtors and creditors settled sovereign debt disputes in the turmoil of the post–Second World War context. Post-war debt settlements represented an enormous task not only because of the sheer amount of debt in default but also because old methods of settlement no longer applied. Faced with the declining significance of bondholder committees, creditors increasingly sought the mediation of their governments. After 1945, the enforcement of sovereign debt claims was effectively transferred from creditor committees to creditor states. Drawing on archival data collected on several high-profile cases of debt restructuring, this chapter revisits the meaning of sovereign debt disputes in the age of interstate negotiations. First, we show that debt acquired a broader public and diplomatic meaning as states became the contractual enforcers of private debt claims. Second, we show that private creditors benefited from the active role of their states, but problems arose, notably in relation to equality of treatment between creditors. Third, we emphasize several cases of creditors attempting to elevate debt disputes to international legal forums. Although such attempts failed, they are nonetheless significant because they foreshadow many aspects and problems in the current debate on legal tools of debt dispute settlement. Section 4 assesses the efficiency of pre-1914, interwar, and post-war methods of debt settlements against several metrics of performance. Section 5 concludes.

Full textAbstract:
Carol Shloss takes a literal approach to the subject of legacy by exploring and questioning the legal nature of Flannery O’Connor’s literary estate, a hot topic among many O’Connor scholars. Using “A Circle in the Fire” as a structural metaphor, Shloss argues that the disputes over ownership and property that are present in O’Connor’s fiction echo the reality of Flannery O’Connor’s personal literary estate. Shloss draws on extensive archival research in order to trace the history of O’Connor’s literary estate since the author’s death, while exploring the meaning of property in O’Connor’s work and positing how O’Connor’s writing itself becomes a type of property. Following the succession of O’Connor’s literary executors, Shloss identifies a tendency to move away from creativity about O’Connor and toward an enshirement of her image by a small number of people. Shloss argues that in the end, relaxing the copyright restrictions on O’Connor’s archive would best carry out the wishes of the author.

Cooper, Brigitte Dehmelt. "European Philosophy and Religion in Millenniums lasting Dispute." In The Paideia Archive: Twentieth World Congress of Philosophy. Philosophy Documentation Center, 1998. http://dx.doi.org/10.5840/wcp20-paideia199836615.
Full textAbstract:
The disputes between philosophy and religion can be avoided and solved not by the contemporary separation of their conclusions but because Socrates-Plato taught us how valid judgments are established. Plato is the founder of "scientific logic", because he discerned the instantaneous relations of similar, different, equal through the intelligibility between ultimate distinctions. This relation, not very accurately called "like" by Socrates, holds too for the intelligence in its relation to the intelligibility of the distinctions of "can" and "must", of which every person is "implicitely" aware, and both "can" and "must" are known as "real possibilites". Final, ultimate distinctions are perceived since they are "evident per-se ". They cannot be doubted by the person which is conscious of itself. These immediate relations are distinguished from relations in which one term is "in the likeness of" the other, which expresses a judgment due to an active comparison, established by man through thinking and through physical actions, placing those relations into the region of time and space. They are the relations of kinship that are in the "likeness of"- (syggenes called in Greek). It will be shown why Aristotles criticism of Plato's use of the word "partaking" has fanned the dispute among the students of Plato, who consider the timeless, eternal reality of distinctions - called ideas by Plato- of highest, ultimate importance. It justifies the validiy of human insights and judgments. This is also not correctly understood by the Christian theologians, who hide behind supernatural revelations and dogmas. Plato did not jutify his metaphysical insights with "transcendental moonshine" as the follower of Aristotle accuse him.

Full textAbstract:
It was hoped that disputes concerning Ireland’s early modern past would be resolved by opening the official archives to public scrutiny. Catholic-nationalist authors seemed generally satisfied with this, but hard-line Unionist authors, concerned over the evidence of continuous official malfeasance that had been uncovered in the archives, demanded that the depositions taken from Protestant survivors in the aftermath of the 1641 rebellion be declared an official source. At the same time, moderate Unionists became convinced that the history they had written of the early modern centuries had persuaded officials in London to adopt policies for Ireland that were detrimental to their interests. Under the circumstances they abandoned further investigation into Ireland’s early modern past at the same time that the interest of Nationalist historians waned because they believed their interpretations had been vindicated by such as Prendergast and Lecky. A once vibrant subject was thus abandoned and was not fully resuscitated until the 1960s.

Full textAbstract:
Tunisian fortifications disputed between Spaniards and Turks in the mid-sixteenth century, documented by coeval iconography. An analysis from the territory to the architectureThe five volumes of the precious archival collection of drawings called Architettura Militare (Military Architecture), kept at the Archivio di Stato di Torino (Turin State Archive), propose documents made mostly by military engineers from the half of the sixteenth to the following first decade. The tomes collect mostly drawings of places under the aegis of the Duchy of Savoy, apart from the second one, dedicated to documents of Spanish military interest (Mediterranean Sea and Lombardy maps). As I pointed out at Fortmed Convention 2018, the reason why these documents are kept at the Turin State Archives is because of their belonging to Catherine of Aragon, daughter of the Spanish king and wife of Carlo Emanuele I di Savoia. In the volume Architettura Militare II (Military Architecture II) 26 tables, all datable from 1522 (Rhodes) to 1596 (Cadiz), concern territories, walled cities and fortifications, of islands and Mediterranean coasts, disputed by Christians and Turks for the supremacy on the sea. In the previous study I had examined drawings about Egypt, eastern Ottoman territories and Holy Land coasts, Spanish possessions as Perpignan and Cadiz bay. In this new study instead, I would like to examine in depth the iconography about Tunisia. Those drawings, so different from each other for scale and graphic quality, document those phases in which the Spanish control is characterized by alternate situations: the Iberian presidio dates back to 1535, reconquered by Ottomans in 1570, it is taken back in three years by Christians who keep it until 1574 only, when the whole Tunisian territory, precious bastion for the control of routes and trades, definitely returns in the hands of the Turks.

Çilliler, Yavuz. "The Influence of Political Economy on the “Self-Determination of Peoples”." In International Conference on Eurasian Economies. Eurasian Economists Association, 2017. http://dx.doi.org/10.36880/c08.01856.
Full textAbstract:
The right of peoples to "self-determination” is influenced by varying motives in different times and geographies in its implementation, and is rarely operated according to its foundational ethic and legal bases dating back to the Kantian concept of free will and the international laws codified after the World War II. Particularly, political economy has always played an important but usually covered role in the application of this principle to national or international disputes.
 This paper aims to explain the dominance of political economy in international decision making processes about the people making a claim for their own state, and to highlight the changing nature of political economy supporting sometimes the sovereign states and sometimes the sub-state level ethnic groups. In this context, the theoretical development and the application of “self-determination” principle is assessed relatively by historical comparison method. Field research for the study comprises archival research of primary and secondary resources. 
 This paper concludes that the political economy has usually greater influence on the application of “self-determination” to the national and international disputes than its ethic and legal content, and that the paradoxical content of this principle contributes to the redistribution of lands usually in compliance with the interests of great powers.

CONCEPT AND FUNCTIONS OF E-JUSTICE IN THE DIGITAL ECONOMY. DOI CODE, 2021. http://dx.doi.org/10.18411/0131-5226-2021-70001.
Full textAbstract:
Abstract. The article deals with the concept of "electronic justice" and features of the use of electronic justice for the consideration of economic disputes. In the digital economy e-justice is one of the legal constructions that provide a comfortable legal environment for economic activity. This is a complex of legal relations and technological solutions that provides individuals and legal entities with the opportunity to use digital technologies at all stages of the judicial process, to obtain information about the activities of courts through electronic access. The e-justice mechanism includes video and audio recording of court sessions, electronic document management with the use of an electronic signature, an electronic archive for storing electronic documents, the use of cloud technologies, as well as the use of electronic documents as evidence. Improving the legal regulation of e-justice in the digital economy, along with reforming procedural legislation, should include the development of a Federal law on electronic documents.
