Full textAbstract:
The article presents various approaches and methods of historiographic research, shows the interrelation between history and historiography. The works depicting the historiographic analysis of important sociological categories and concepts are singled out. The subject, methods and tasks of historiographic studies of the knowledge of sociological science are characterized. Types and varieties of historiographic sources are indicated. The article definitely starts the sociological direction in historiography, highlights the degree of study of historiographic and source research problems. The historiography of sociological science is defined as a branch of knowledge that studies the history of accumulation of sociological knowledge, the development of sociological thought and research methodology, the history of the creation of sociological works and biographies of scientists, the influence of sociopolitical life phenomena on the work of sociologists and the impact of sociological thought on public consciousness, the history of scientific institutions , organization of sociological education and dissemination of sociological knowledge.Attention is drawn to the experience of one of the most famous and influential historiographic schools of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries – the Klyuchevsky school. This school carried out a synthesis of history and sociology. Revising the conceptual tools of knowledge of the past, which the preceding historiography had, he largely shaped the subject and method of national history in a new way, focusing on analyzing the evolution of the social structure of society, researching social and economic processes, rather than describing outstanding events. Due to this, the emphasis from political and legal history was shifted to the socio-economic history. This research orientation had a clear humanistic orientation, as it brought historical research closer to the person in his social environment.The historiography of the sociological approach in the microdynamic studies of J. Turner is described, which reflects the nature and direction of theoretical studies, which are distinguished by an orientation towards active theoretical and multilateral conceptual synthesis. Attention is drawn to the fact that the very fact of developing a theory of this type testifies to the nature of the unfolding of theoretical perspectives in modern sociology. T. Kuhn’s role in the development of historiographic research is shown. In particular, the historiography and sociological aspect of Kuhn’s theory is that various episodes in the development of historiography of sociological science contribute to reconstructing the historical process of sociology, revealing its beginnings and ends, and bridging the gap between sociological theorists and social practices.

The article attempts to trace the metamorphoses that the domestic historiography of economic science has undergone from perestroika to the present day. The “paradigm of replacement” adopted by the supporters of perestroika, together with the “water” of ideology and presentism of orthodox Marxism, also splashed out the “child” — the methodological principles of historicism and empiricism, forcing historiography to follow in the wake of the approaches of the Western “mainstream”. Having fallen, along with the latter, into the trap of presentism of the “history of economic analysis”, having experienced the “loss of institutional viability”, historiography (more precisely, what was left of it) at the end of the road found refuge in the symbolic reality of “intellectual history”. True, at the cost of losing not only historicism, but also disciplinary identity (economic orientation) and its scientific character. As a result of the study, the author comes to the conclusion that the return of the lost methodological principles of historical realism and empiricism, interest in the content of economic knowledge and its analysis will be facilitated by turning to the historical-scientific historiographic approach, which not only follows the standards of professional historical science, but and using a dictionary, as well as theoretical models of the sociology of scientific knowledge, which set the conceptual framework for historical and scientific studies.

Economists suffer badly from what we might call “Cliophobia.” Why bother with the history of economic thought?, they ask. Why not just do economics? What is the point of constantly recalling the inadequate economics of yesterday instead of improving the economics of today and tomorrow?

Full textAbstract:
The Coase theorem has occupied a prominent place in economic discourse for the last half-century. The debate over the theorem and the uses to which it has been put are important moments in the history of modern economics, and the analysis of them by the historians of economics sheds light on certain of the tensions in contemporary historiography. This article discusses several aspects of the intellectual history of the Coase theorem, arguing that the study of this history illustrates the necessity of a pluralistic approach, and that attempts to write history from a singular historiographic perspective leave us with histories that are both misleading and incomplete.

In the second half of the XX century the neo-Malthusian theory became the basis for the practical politics of many developing countries. Thus, governments have recognized that Malthusian laws are a reality of the traditional society, that they are the laws of history. The neo-Malthusian school exists in modern historiography, which studies the effect of Malthusian laws in the past. Historians-Malthusians argue that the historical process consists of demographic cycles — repeated periods of growth, stagnation and crisis. The article reviews the works of historians of the neo-Malthusian school.

Full textAbstract:
The article is devoted to the study of individual publications of the second decade of the 21st century on topical issues of the new economic policy. The presented historiographic review is based on the works of historians, lawyers, economists interested in the new economic policy. The points of view of researchers have been compared according to some interrelated components of NEP. The study has revealed an increased interest of Russian scientists in the content and consequences of NEP. At the same time, the published works on the historiography of NEP are not exhaustive. The article contains the author's conclusions, summarizing the results of the researches made by modern home-grown scientists on the most studied aspects of NEP. The author of the article comes to the conclusion that the historiography of recent years objectively characterizes NEP as a phenomenon of Soviet history. In the modern sense, the new economic policy has not received the full support from the Bolsheviks, but determined the development of civil legislation.

Full textAbstract:
This paper discusses how Mark Blaug reversed his thinking about the historiography of economics, abandoning 'rational' for 'historical' reconstruction, and using an economics of scientific knowledge argument against Paul Samuelson and others that rational reconstructions of past ideas and theories in the "marketplace of ideas" were Pareto inefficient. Blaug's positive argument for historical reconstruction was built on the concept of "lost content" and his rejection of the end-state view of competition in favor of a process view. He used these ideas to emphasize path dependency in the development of economic thinking, thereby advancing an evolutionary view of economics that has connections to a Lakatosian understanding of economic methodology. The paper argues that Blaug was essentially successful in criticizing the standard rational reconstructionist view of the history of economic thought in economics, and that this is borne out by the nature of the change in recent economics.

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of the work is to analyze scientific works and research of Ukrainian and foreign historiography of the Roman Catholic Church, which carried out its activities on the Right-Bank Ukraine as part of the Russian Empire, the Ukrainian People's Republic, the Hetmanate of Skoropadsky, the Ukrainian Socialist Soviet Republic in the period from 1914 to 1921. Research methodology. The research methodology is based on a systematic approach to the study of socio-political, socio-economic phenomena in their development and relationship, based on the principles of science, objectivity and historicism. In the course of writing the work were used general and special historical methods: comparative-historical and critical; chronological; statistical and analytical methods. Scientific novelty. It consists, first of all, in a comprehensive analysis of the historiography of the activity of the Catholic Church, which has not yet received comprehensive and holistic coverage in historical science and has not been the subject of a separate regional study. Conclusions. Despite the ever-increasing activity of scientific research on this topic, insufficient analysis of the chosen topic, the number of "white spots" in historiography still remains significant, especially the fate of the Polish community of Right Bank Ukraine, which indicates significant potential for new historical research and research in the future.

School of Social Sciences, 1991. http://tux.lib.deakin.edu.au./adt-VDU/public/adt-VDU20041208.151237.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis presents an intellectual history of the historiography of Australian Economic History between 1918 and 1965. More specifically, it is a contribution to a relatively novel area of research into 'disciplinary history. It takes as its basic analytical material the four books widely used for significant lengths of time for undergraduate teaching during the period of the study.
The thesis consists of five main chapters, plus an appendix which surveys the institutional development of Australian Economic History and provides the empirical basis for the selection of the works named above. After a brief introduction and overview, the next four chapters consist of a detailed study of one of these works, the historical context in which each was written, and an intellectual biography.
The fifth chapter is largely theoretical and conceptual. It analyses the epistemological bases of History and Economics and explores the implications of different models of knowledge for the relationship between Economic History and its two antecedent disciplines, History and Economics. Current perceptions of the state of the discipline in Australia and overseas are also examined.
There are three main propositions advanced and their implications explored in the fifth chapter. First, that changes which occurred in Australian Economic History during the period 1918-1965 shifted the discipline from the broad area of History to the broad area of Economics. Second, that the inherent tension and fundamental differences between the two disciplinary areas of History and Economics have profound and complex implications for Australian Economic History at a number of levels and in a number of areas.
The third proposition posits that the paradigm shift of the 1950s/1960s in Australian Economic History, and the paradigm shift of the 1960s/1970s in Economic History respectively have resulted in crisis. The final part of the chapter summarises the contents of the preceding chapters, and draws some conclusions based on those detailed studies.

Lima, Iara V. "Foucault's archaeology of political economy : for a rethinking of the methodology and historiography of economics." Thesis, University of Stirling, 2006. http://hdl.handle.net/1893/96.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis has two main objectives. First, it accomplishes a detailed critical reading of Michel Foucault’s writings on the archaeology of knowledge, focusing on the emergence of political economy. Second, it explores some possibilities opened up by his work for a rethinking of the historiography and methodology of economics. The first results from the fact that there have been very few assessments of his archaeology of economics, not only in economics itself, but also in the fields of philosophy and history of thought in general. Although it may be possible to find some applications in economics of notions and concepts introduced by him, this has mostly been done without a detailed critical analysis of his writings. Thus, it is considered here that it is first necessary to go back to his writings and to develop a very careful reading of them in order to be able to explore them in a second stage. As for the second, the main argument is that his archaeology has important contributions that are still missing by economists. The study is developed in two parts. The first part is dedicated to a meticulous reading of the The Archaeology of Knowledge and The Order of Things, ending up with an assessment. Part II develops an analysis of his contributions in three areas of research in economics: methodology of economics, historiography of economic thought, and studies on Adam Smith’s context. This analysis is considered itself an important contribution of this thesis. Chapter 3 situates Foucault’s perspective and system among other current interests in economic methodology, comprising basically three parts. First, it identifies one common fundamental question underlying some of these interests, that is, whether there is an underlying configuration in knowledge that permits us to think what we think in economics in a certain moment in time and space. It is argued that Foucault’s archaeology makes important contributions to this strand. Second, it compares his approach to the current interest in rhetorical studies in economics. Third, it gives special attention to the historiography of economic thought through the investigation of the interplay between the notion of the ‘episteme’ and the Kuhnian concept of ‘paradigm’. Chapter 4 explores and assesses his archaeology of political economy in The Order of Things and briefly indicates some of the important ideas provided by him in his lectures at the Collège de France in 1978-79, which give some hints for the possibility of investigating the current epistemic context underlying economics. The last chapter concentrates on Smith’s writings on language and rhetoric, the methodological conception underlying his writings, and the notion of invisible hand, according to Foucault’s system. This latter essentially shows the potentiality for his system to improve the level of consciousness of our past and emphasizes that it opens up a series of possibilities of further and interesting inquiries. The thesis concludes with an appraisal of Foucault’s contribution and additional issues for further enquiry.

Krul, Matthijs. "Markets, institutions and the Polanyian challenge : a theoretical study of the new institutionalist economic history of Douglass C. North." Thesis, Brunel University, 2016. http://bura.brunel.ac.uk/handle/2438/13579.
Full textAbstract:
In this study, I examine the New Institutionalist Economic History (NIEH) of Douglass C. North from a historiographical and philosophical perspective. As a point of departure for this purpose I take North’s critical engagement with the primitivism-modernism debate in premodern economic history, as represented in his early work by the ‘challenge of Karl Polanyi’. This challenge, I argue, has given shape to the development of the NIEH in its various stages of theoretical elaboration. Therefore, understanding its contextual significance is indispensable for making sense of North’s oeuvre as a whole. On my reading, North interpreted the challenge of Polanyi to mean combining two methodological conceptions previously not united in one work. On the one hand, North’s NIEH extends the scope of economic theory to the study of the longue durée of economic history; while on the other hand North seeks to theorize the importance of historical variation in sociocultural institutions for understanding why there are rarely complete or well-functioning markets in most of economic history. North considers neoclassical economics suitable for neither of these purposes. Yet his critique of Polanyi’s substantivist-primitivist approach is primarily based on the absence of an integration of his project with the tools of economic theory. For this purpose, North therefore adopted the theory of transaction cost economics, also called New Institutional Economics (NIE), to this new ambitious end. More than perhaps any other author North has been responsible for extending the scope and sophistication of this economics based approach in the study of economic history. In the present work, I discuss to what extent this approach has been successful in its own aims, internally consistent, and to what extent it is plausible as a historiographical approach from an ‘external’ point of view. I do this by combining a close reading and interpretation of a variety of North’s writings, focusing in particular on the most contemporary version of his work - which has not been much studied - with a methodological and theoretical discussion of various major themes in or aspects of his work from the viewpoints of historiography, anthropology, and philosophy of social science. These themes include (among others) North’s understanding of the functioning of markets in politics and economics, his approach to choice theory, rationality, and game theory, his use or neglect of evolutionary concepts, the meaning of embeddedness in his work, and North’s contractarian anthropology. As this work shows, North’s NIEH is situated in a difficult intermediate position within larger debates in economic thought: between primitivism and modernism, between substantivism and formalism (in the anthropological sense), and most significantly, between the ‘new mainstream’ of economic theory and the quest for successive endogenisation of the institutional context of economic behavior. This certainly speaks for the ambition and sophistication of North’s historiographical approach, something which has only increased with the further development of his theory. But in his quest to unite the best insights of choice theory with New Institutionalist economics as well as incorporating the ‘anthropological’ level of fully socialized beliefs, preferences, and how they give rise to institutional variation in history, North frequently seeks to have his cake and eat it. The persistent methodological ambiguities in his work give rise to problems of internal consistency and external plausibility, which are present from the very inauguration of his NIEH research programme. The subsequent development of his work has not, I argue, been able to overcome this fundamental problem. For this reason, while much of North’s toolset and his overarching ambitions are valuable developments in economic historical theory, he does not achieve his aim of overcoming the challenge of Karl Polanyi. Without a more decisive break with his original economic microfoundations, North’s NIEH project cannot ultimately live up to its grand ambitions.

Full textAbstract:
Este trabalho analisa a obra de Celso Furtado entre 1948 e 1959. Seu objetivo é investigar como o autor trata a relação entre história e teoria econômica, enquanto um dos principais elementos de sua formulação da teoria do desenvolvimento econômico. Procura-se delinear como essa problemática foi sendo reelaborada ao longo do tempo, entendendo que estas reformulações decorrem dos problemas específicos da economia brasileira, dos diagnósticos que produz sobre esta e dos debates na história do pensamento econômico brasileiro. Metodologicamente, o trabalho está ancorado na historiografia em sua acepção crítica: compreendida como uma reflexão sobre a produção escrita, entrelaçando autor, obra e meio. Nessa perspectiva, procura-se evidenciar como os influxos do presente, a retomada do passado brasileiro e as perspectivas de futuro foram elaboradas e organizadas por Celso Furtado, num arranjo de dialógica transtemporal. Para isso nos centramos em cada conjuntura de elaboração dos escritos de Celso Furtado. Investigamos a participação de Celso Furtado na Comissão Econômica para América Latina (CEPAL), o debate sobre planejamento econômico que envolveu, também, Raúl Prebisch, Eugenio Gudin e Octávio Gouveia de Bulhões a publicação de A economia brasileira (1954) e a tentativa de responder tanto aos problemas conjunturais da economia brasileira quanto apresentar uma primeira tentativa de conciliar história e teoria econômica. As resenhas e comentários publicados na revista Econômica Brasileira e o livro Perspectivas da economia brasileira (1958) explicitam o posicionamento de Celso Furtado frente ao Plano de Metas e apresenta alterações importantes em seu diagnóstico da economia brasileira. ] Finalmente, examinamos Formação econômica do Brasil (1959) como uma nova resposta ao desafio de conciliar história e teoria econômica.This study analyzes the work of Celso Furtado between 1948 and 1959. Its aim is to investigate how the author deals with the relationship between history and economic theory, while one of the main elements of its formulation of the theory of economic development. Searches to outline how this problem was being reworked over time, understanding these restatements as resulting from the specific problems of the Brazilian economy, from diagnosis which produces about this and debates in the history of Brazilian economic thought. Methodologically, the work is based on historiography in its critical meaning: understood as a reflection on the written production, entwining author, work and environment. In this perspective, we try to show how the inflows of present, the resumption of the Brazilian past and future prospects were prepared and organized by Celso Furtado, in a dialogic and trans-temporal arrangement. For this we focus on each elaboration\'s conjuncture of the writings of Celso Furtado. We investigated the participation of Celso Furtado at the Economic Commission for Latin America (ECLA), the debate on economic planning - which also involved Raúl Prebisch, Eugenio Gudin and Octavio Gouveia de Bouillon - the publication of the A economia brasileira (1954) and the attempt responding both to the economic problems of the Brazilian economy has a first attempt to reconcile history and economic theory.

The reviews and comments published in the Econômica Brasileira journal and the book Perspectivas da economia brasileira (1958) explains the positioning of Celso Furtado on the Target Plan and presents important changes in their diagnosis of the Brazilian economy. Finally, we examine Formação econômica do Brasil (1959) as a new response to the challenge of reconciling history and economic theory.

Full textAbstract:
In the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries the merchants of Julfa, a town on the trade routes linking the Mediterranean with Iran, developed an extensive international trade network reaching from the Atlantic coast of Europe to the Indian Ocean. Part 1 of the dissertation traces the history of Julfa and examines the factors contributing to the Armenians' success - among them the significant growth of Iranian raw silk exports to Europe; the stimulus to East-West trade given by the influx of American silver to Europe and the consequent imbalance in the value of bullion between Europe, the Middle East and South Asia; the forced resettlement of the Julfans in Isfahan and the formation of a close economic relationship with the Safavi court. Part 2 concentrates on social and economic organisation, examining the structure of the Armenian patriarchal household and its commercial operation as family firm, and the community and its provision of the institutions that upheld commercial law and the merchants' system of values and standards of behaviour. The discussion in Chapters 4 and 5 of partnership and agency and the credit system operated by the Julfans is based on research into surviving contracts and credit instruments. These documents also provide the material for Part 3. The Julfan mercantile documents are a unique record of the commercial world of an Asian trading community in the sixteenth to eighteenth centuries. They also present numerous technical difficulties, which are discussed through the presentation of examples of documents in the original, with translation, notes and a glossary. The history of the Julfa merchants affords a rare opportunity for close examination of the organisation and techniques of trade in Asia and provides a basis for comparison with other Asian merchants.

BRUNAZZI, GIANMARIA. "RAPPORTI SOCIALI E CONFLITTI DI CLASSE NELL'INGHILTERRA DEL XVIII SECOLO: VERSO UNA NUOVA TEORIA MATERIALISTA DELLA TRANSIZIONE AL CAPITALISMO." Doctoral thesis, Università degli Studi di Milano, 2022. http://hdl.handle.net/2434/921478.
Full textAbstract:
This work has two main aims: it wants, from one side, to revive the debate on the Transition to Capitalism, whereas, on the other side, it proposes a new political approach to historical materialism.
Triggered by social concerns about our times - which are characterised by growing inequality and poverty, by class polarisation, climate emergences, economic crises and new wars - the research devotes theoretical attention to the dialectics between political present and the writing of history.
While the world leaves behind thirty years of neo-liberal unipolarism, and History, in its magnitude, gets back into the scene, the paper, critically focusing on the origins of Capitalism and on the praxis of change, shakes the hypostatization of the present social system and, highlighting the specific features that make it finite and superable, historicises it.
The work challenges those academic studies which have dealt, in the wake of several cultural trends, with the history of economic and social development, counterposing to micro-specialisation, post-modern fragmentation and the multiplication of perspectives, a systematic contestation of the whole bulk of relations which Capitalism entails.
Devoting a new importance to class paradigm - even with respect to materialist traditional approaches - the essay contributes to Marxist historiography, originally investigating theoretical nodes such as the relationship between base and superstructure, history and theory, materiality and ideology, objectivity and subjectivity.
Group interests, class relations and conflicts in XVIII century England are inspected with the goal of defining a new method for historical investigation: the social praxis, as a methodological criterion, does not only permit us to reframe the dynamics relating economic (structural) and social transformations, but proves to be a valid guide to preserve the researcher’s writing from from the ideological influence of his time hegemony.

This dissertation presents a systematic study of the work and thought of Ignácio Rangel, a leading Brazilian intellectuals of the twentieth century for having developed the original interpretations of the historical and political reality of Brazil. We seek in this paper to analyze some of the major theoretical formulations of the author, focusing primarily on two concepts: basic duality and the business cycle. It was whith the formulation of these and other concepts that he business cycle. It was with the formulation of these and other concepts that he could propose a structural understanding of the dynamics of inflation in Brazil and develop a new interpretation of the dynamics of inflation in Brazil and develop a new interpretation of the Brazilian agrarian structure, through the concept of Fourth Income. In its general sense, this paper therefore proposes a historiographical introduction of thought and overall word of Ignácio Rangel.
Esta dissertação apresenta um estudo sistemático sobre a obra e o pensamento de Ignácio Rangel, um dos mais importantes intelectuais brasileiros do século XX por ter desenvolvido originais interpretações sobre a realidade histórica e política do Brasil. Procuramos neste trabalho analisar algumas das principais formulações teóricas do autor, centradas fundamentalmente em dois conceitos: o de dualidade básica e o de ciclo econômico. Foi com a formulação desses e de outros conceitos que ele conseguiu propor um entendimento estrutural da dinâmica da inflação brasileira e elaborar uma nova interpretação da estrutura agrária brasileira, através do conceito de Quarta Renda. No seu sentido geral, esta dissertação propõe, portanto, uma introdução historiográfica do pensamento e conjunto da obra de Ignácio Rangel.

Un recensement des notices nécrologiques et biographiques par catégorie sociale ainsi que l'étude de leur contenu et de la méthode d'Ibn Iyās font l'objet du chapitre 3, avec une attention particulière accordée aux citations poétiques accompagnant ces notices. Le chapitre 4 propose une analyse des faits relevant de l'histoire sociale ainsi les phénomènes naturels exceptionnels ayant retenu l'attention de l'auteur. Puis le chapitre suivant aborde des questions économiques, notamment les crues du Nil et leur impact sur la vie économique, de même que les questions monétaires. Dans chacun des deux chapitres, la méthode suivie par Ibn Iyās retient une attention particulière. Le chapitre 6 évoque les sources utilisées et décrit les modalités de production du texte mises en oeuvre par l'auteur. Trois annexes portant sur les manuscrits, les autres oeuvres d'Ibn Iyās et les répartitions des faits selon les expressions utilisées viennent clore ce travailIbn Iyās was a historian straddling mamluk and Ottoman era. This work concerns at the same time the study of the method of Ibn Iyās in the organization and the production of its work Badāʼiʽ al-zuhūr fī waqāʼiʽ al-duhūr and on thematic analyses of contents focused on the economic and social data. The biographical approach of the first chapter insists in particular on the circle of friends in which the author evolved. The second chapter makes the point on the work as well as on the publishing of the chronicle through his organization in sections and volumes and from there to approach the question of the dating of the work. An inventory of the obituary and biographic notes by social category as well as the study of their contents and the method of Ibn Iyās are the object of the chapter 3, with a particular attention to poetic quotations accompanying such notices. Chapter 4 analyzes the facts relating to the social history and exceptional natural phenomena having attracted the attention of the author. Then the next chapter deals with economic issues, including the Nile floods and their impact on the economy, as well as monetary matters. In both chapters, the approach taken by Ibn Iyās holds attention. Chapter 6 discusses the sources used by the author and describes the process of text production. Three appendices on manuscripts, other works of Ibn Iyās and distributions made on the basis of the author expressions were used to conclude this work

L'objectif de cette these est d'etudier a partir d'un exemple precis : celui de l' edition francaise contemporaine, les conditions de la possibilite d'un discours scientifique specifique sur l'ecrit imprime. Compte tenu des ambiguites du statut du livre, il parait necessaire de segmenter le champ de l'etude en ensembles homogenes sans jamais separer les problemes de la production de ceux de la diffusion. La premiere partie etudie l'ensemble des problemes des auteurs. La deuxieme partie vise a mettre en place une typologie des editeurs fondee sur le critere synthetique de production diffusion. La troisieme partie concerne la distribution, montre le renouveau de la librairie en meme temps que le developpement de la vente en grandes surfaces, configuration dangereuse pour la poursuite du developpement de la production. La conclusion etudie les possibilites de modernisation de l'edition et les avantages limites que l'on peut attendre de l'actuelle politique de synergie qui integre l'edition francaise dans des groupes de communication internationauxThe objective of this thesis is - from a definite example : the french contempora ry publishing - to study - the conditions of possibility of scientific discursive reasoning on published writing. Considering the ambiguity of status of the book, il seems to be necessary to segment the field of this study into homogeneous sets without separating the problems of production frome these of distribution. First part is devoted to the different categories of authors. Second part searches how to realize a publishers'typology based on synthetic citerion of production distribution. Third part concerns the distribution, demonstrate the bookseller's revival while sale on large stores ( hypermarkets and supermarkets ) is growing : a dangerous configuration to seek after the development of the production. Conclusion evaluate possibilities of the modernization of publishing and shows the limited advantages that the new synergic politicy ( which includes french publishing within international communication units ), will allow

In the later Middle Ages and early modern period, many European hospitals developed into commercial retirement homes that allowed investors to pay for lifelong food and lodging. Their clients consisted mainly of elderly citizens who decided to spend their final years enjoying a pension, often living by themselves or occasionally with a spouse. Corrodies can best be understood as life annuities in kind: food and lodging were provided until the corrodian – or the longest-living spouse of a couple – passed away. Demand was so great that institutions are known to have had waiting lists or to raffle seats among potential investors. We claim that corrodies allowed investors who were looking to secure their livelihood to mitigate the risks that came with financial instruments that paid in currency. Our paper contributes to a historiography that claims that payments in kind should not be considered ‘backwards’ but rather as techniques that offered protection against the whims of the market.

AbstractThe geoscientific knowledge of the territories of the Americas was at the core of colonizing projects and international disputes over these territories. The historical studies of various aspects of Earth sciences bring countless references. They have been present since the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries in the writings of the Portuguese Jesuits or chroniclers. Latin America continues to participate in the historiographical production of Earth sciences at the international level, in tune with mainstream trends, but with varying intensity depending on each country’s specific contexts and intellectual traditions. New perspectives suggest counterpoints to the unidirectional views of the old diffusionist proposals in the History of Sciences. They emphasize that governments’ individual, professional, institutional, political, economic, scientific, and theoretical interests are not dissociated and are linked to rocks, fossils, soils, mineral and energy resources, and landscapes. There is much to be explored along with the perspective of circulation of ideas, practices, and objects, and scientific cooperation in the continental context, without losing the dimension that the phenomena associated with Earth sciences, due to their spatial and temporal dimensions, are not subordinated to geopolitical frontiers that, in Latin America and various regions of the world, as a result of colonizing processes, wars, and territorial disputes, have changed over time.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractPreparing to set off from England in 1872 on an oceanographic expedition around the globe, the officers and crew of HMS Challenger gathered on board the ship for a photographic portrait. It was one of the first photographs of crew on a scientific voyage of exploration ever taken. Over eight hundred photographs were taken or acquired on the Challenger in addition to drawings and paintings. This chapter uses these photographs to reexamine Daston and Galison’s theory that photography was successful in nineteenth-century science on account of its perceived “objectivity” as an epistemic ideal. The chapter first outlines the history and historiography of photography and of the Challenger expedition, proceeding to outline photographic practices on the voyage, and evaluating the photographs’ place within longer aesthetic traditions. It then examines the Challenger photographs’ circulation and use in its official scientific report, and in wider scientific contexts. The chapter finally analyzes the photographs’ personal, and then broader public, economic, and political circulation and uses. It concludes by arguing that drawing and painting were the preferred scientific visual strategies on the Challenger, indicating that photography was not preferred on account of its perceived “objectivity” for science. Instead, photographs afforded other benefits such as speed of capture, replicability, and adaptability—for economic, social, and political use as well as scientific. Photography was therefore an effective visual strategy not on account of its perceived scientific “objectivity” but due to its flexibility, which corresponded to the expedition’s scientific aims as well as its broader economic, social, and political context.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractKroeze takes the Dutch–Indonesian histories of colonial state formation as a common base to test several hypotheses that are informed by debates in the historiography of corruption and (post-)colonialism. One is that corruption is never a neutral objective term, and that when it is used in a colonial context it serves to set or challenge norms that underly colonial power structures. By invoking scandals and asking for reform, elites challenged existing norms in order to maintain exclusive power structures of (late) colonial state formation and economic exploitation. Kroeze also argues that cases of colonial corruption show how the metropole and colony were interlinked and influenced each other. Political changes in the metropole, such as the growing influence of more morally outspoken Protestant and Liberal politicians, as well as experiences of misuse in the colony, together caused the emergence of the Dutch equivalent of the civilising mission: the so-called “Ethical Policy”.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractSlavery is not a commonly discussed topic in late imperial Chinese history—indeed, as much as late imperial China is not an area usually discussed in world and global slavery studies. The ubiquity of the “feudal” analytical framework in Chinese historiography and the image of the archetypal “slave” have resulted in the widespread idea that there was no slavery in (early-) modern China (and Eastern Asia). This chapter reevaluates this widely accepted preconception by shedding light on the overlooked and unique succession of “slave revolts” that erupted in China’s economic centers between the 1630s and the 1660s. The focus on this particular moment in Chinese history and on the sources produced in its aftermath serves as an entry point to understanding the life experiences of Chinese nubi, a category of enslaved people that persisted until its formal abolition in the last years of the imperial regime.

AbstractThis chapter considers the connections between histories of the earth sciences (and knowledges of the earth more generally) and African history. It argues there is great potential synergy between them, both fields providing cross-disciplinary and long-durational means of considering the history of knowledge and engagement with the earth, especially through different forms of conceptual, political, and economic power. This is followed across two sections. The first is the history of mining and use of mineral resources in Africa, which has been a dynamic field, aiming to recover the agency and importance of African actors, processes, and institutions, while engaging with the importance of mineral extraction for the formation of colonial systems and maintenance of global inequalities. And secondly, the chapter examines the historiography of the sciences of ancient life as related to Africa, especially palaeontology and palaeoanthropology, and how these more conceptual fields have been entangled with values and engagements with African nature, and citations of the importance of the continent to the whole of humanity.

The article considers historiographic assessments of the administrative-territorial transformations of the Stalinist period of Soviet history through the prism of relations "Center - Regions." For the supreme government in the period under study, the obvious dilemma was the choice between the economic efficiency of the spatial development of enlarged and self-sufficient regions, on the one hand, and the increase in the political manageability of the Center for regional development, on the other hand. The policy of disengaging the regions and giving the former dis-trict centers the status of regional capitals was connected with the need of the Cen-ter to monitor the processes of industrialization and collectivization, bring man-agement closer to production, as well as weaken the influence of regional leaders to strengthen the regime of personal power of I.V. Stalin. Subsequently, the political struggle for power in the 1950s. contributed to a gradual and irreversible review of the relationship between the central and regional authorities: for political reasons, the Center abandoned the administrative-territorial transformations of the regions.

THE SEVEN APOSTLES OF THE SLAVS AND THE FORMATION OF THE BULGARIAN “PROTO-NATIONAL” IDENTITY (Summary) Some historians assume that the emergence of national identities in Europe is a result of social changes occurring in the Early Modern era, while others claim that this process was set in motion already in the Later Middle Ages. Similar disputes on the beginnings of the modern Bulgarian nation are also present in historiographic works. The Slavo-Bulgarian History of Paisiy Hilendarski is usually presented as the first clear sign of the emerging Bulgarian nation. The aim of this article is to confirm a proto-national stage in the development of the Bulgarian medieval ethnic community, which was instrumental for the survival and continuation of the Bulgarians as a separate ethnie and, despite the interruptions in the independent existence of the Bulgarian state and church, led to the transformation of this ethnie into a modern nation. The development of the Bulgarian medieval state, founded in 681 (widely accept¬ed date), lacks continuity. It has been interrupted in 1018 by the Byzantine conquest, which provoked deep social, economic and cultural changes and was followed by ethnic changes too. However, former Bulgarian lands, especially the core area around the last capital of the First Bulgarian Empire, Ohrid, retained certain level of ecclesiastical and economic autonomy. In the diocese of the Ohrid Bishopric began to emerge a “proto-national” pantheon, centered around the figures of St Clement of Ohrid and St John of Rila, and promoted by Byzantine prelates like Theophylactus of Ohrid and George Skylitses. The Bulgarians were regarded as a separate ethnie (according to the theory of Anthony Smith) within the limits of the Byzantine Empire, identified by their traditions, culture, language, and by their own patrons and spiritual teachers, who formed their “proto-national” pantheon. This tendency was successfully continued after the restoration of the Bulgarian state in 1185 (again a widely accepted date). The Second Bulgarian Empire had a multieth¬nic composition, including not only Slavic-speaking Bulgarians, but also Pecheneg and Cuman migrants, Vlah population, etc. All these groups, engaged very often in the gov¬ernment of the re-established empire, were centered around the political and state ideol¬ogy of the Bulgarian ‘proto-nationalism”. In the newly formed “pantheon” of national saints were included as “Bulgarians” also people with non-Bulgarian or at least disputed ethnic origin. In their Vitae, written after the liberation from the Byzantines, the question about their ethnic origin was of growing importance. Special place was given to the holy brothers Cyril and Methodius, (whose Bulgarian origin and direct links with Bulgaria are at least obscure) and five of their most prominent disciples. They were venerated as Bulgarian saints and became important part of the “proto-national” ideology of the Sec-ond Bulgarian Empire. This attitude has been transferred successfully into the national ideology of the modern Bulgarian nation. Later, in the 16th century, this group of saints was stylized as the Seven Apostles of the Slavs and acquired popularity even among the Greek-speaking clergy. Consequently, Cyril and Methodius, who were representatives of the universalistic Christian culture of the Second Rome entrusted with the task to enlighten the Slavonic peoples and to introduce them to the Holy Scriptures, together with their most prominent disciples, became emblematic figures, actively engaged in the formation of one of the Slavonic “proto-nations” during the Late Middle Ages.
