Abstract:
In recent years, historians have brought into sharper focus the role of rebellion in the political, social, and religious life of sixteenth-century England. Indeed, the Tudor dynasty established itself on the throne in 1485 as a result of a successful baronial rebellion, and each succeeding generation experienced a major rebellion as well as numerous lesser stirs and riots. Until the revival of interest in Tudor rebellions, the majority of historians preferred to portray the century as an era of law and order in which a strong but popular monarchy ruled over grateful and largely obedient subjects. Although contemporaries living in the sixteenth century knew of rebellion and popular disorder, often through direct personal experience, the government quite understandably opposed anything resembling impartial and disinterested study of the rebellions. Government propagandists denounced rebellion vigorously in royal proclamations and manifestos, while the clergy echoed similar themes from the pulpit. Of the two histories of rebellion published during the sixteenth century, the first, John Proctor's history of Wyatt's Rebellion, was unadulterated government propaganda, and the other, Alexander Neville's history of Kett's Rebellion, was a polemic written in Latin to guarantee a select readership. Without specialized books on rebellions, the literate public had one primary source of historical information, the general chronicles that appeared with greater frequency and variety as the century progressed.Although best known for hisSurvey of London, John Stow was the most prolific chronicler of the sixteenth century. Beginning with the brief octavoA Summary of English Chronicles, which appeared in 1565, Stow published no fewer than twenty-one editions and issues of chronicles in three different formats, the octavoSummary, a sextodecimo abridgment of theSummary, and the more substantialChroniclesandAnnales of Englandin quarto.

Abstract:
The rate of emotional difficulties and self-destructive behaviors has increased since the advent of the Industrial Revolution, with dramatic deterioration in the last generation. In attempting to understand root causes of our malaise, common sense tells us that rather than focus on our genes, which have not changed, we should focus on society, which has significantly changed. It is argued here that much of what we call mental illness is essentially a rebellion—more often passive rather than active—against an increasingly dehumanizing society in which consumption, production, and technology are worshipped at the expense of life. It is also argued that society, including mental health treatment, has become radically industrialized and commercialized, resulting in a loss of historical antidotes to emotional malaise such as autonomy, meaning, and community.

Abstract:
The Redwood Wars were largely defined by dramatic confrontations between activists and timber companies in the woods, in the courts, and in the legislature. The iconic images of those late twentieth-century conflicts include Julia “Butterfly” Hill standing atop the giant redwood she named Luna, and other tree sitters hanging large banners from their perches across the North Coast. Some Americans might conjure images of Charles Hurwitz and junk bond dealer Michael Milken, or of the bombed-out car of Judi Bari. Headwaters Forest in Humboldt County became the center of the Redwood Wars. By the end of the 1980s, most of the popular imagery had emerged from the battles over the fate of that forest. However, the seeds of those tumultuous years were planted during the late 1970s and early 1980s at a less well-known location in southern Humboldt County. At Sally Bell Grove, near the Sinkyone Wilderness and the Lost Coast, local activists embarked on a campaign to resist the ever-expanding industrial logging of multinational logging companies, and protect old-growth redwood groves. To fight industrial liquidation logging, activists commingled direct action, public protest, public comment, and citizen participation provisions for forestry regulation, litigation, and lobbying in ways that drove timber companies mad and compelled reform by the California Department of Forestry (CDF). Organizations and partnerships were formed during the fight over Sally Bell. Legal expertise and “tree-hugging” tactics were honed and coordinated in the courtrooms and the woods. And activists fashioned a style and tone of activism suited to their values and demands. Those tools, tactics, and strategies were repeated over and over again from 1985 through at least the end of the twentieth century. Thus, when Julia “Butterfly” Hill and the scores of other activists perched in trees and filed lawsuits, they operated from a foundation constructed by a generation of Bay Area refugees and native North Coasters who had worked to save their neighborhood from industrial logging.

Abstract:
Poles in the Republic of Lithuania are the best organized Polish minority abroad. They are represented at various levels of government, in the media, organizations, and there is an extensive system of education in their mother tongue. The cultural sphere is an important area of their activity. It is mainly focused on folklore. At the same time, there has appeared a number of youth groups performing various styles of music and functioning on the Lithuanian music market, which is, however, marginally covered in the press. Their work does not principally refer to the problems of the life of the Polish community, and it sometimes expresses critical content. However, these performers introduce the Polish language to a wide cultural circulation and strive for a slightly different shape of relations with the Lithuanian majority than the older generations perceive it. They also contribute to the integration of youth communities. Undoubtedly, the generational rebellion, which was often noticeable in the activities of the Polish musicians of young generation, was a response to the challenges of adulthood and, at the same time, constituted a form of patriotism.

Abstract:
One of the most expressive trends in American culture of the 1950s and 1960s, manifested by the treatment of travel as a motive of life in both the mental and creative spheres, can be confidently attributed to the Beat generation. Their consumption lifestyle, crazy undertakings, love and moral fights, in which they entered without any moderation, led them to living problems and, consequently, to being lost. This generation almost automatically brings to mind the portrait of young, vulnerable Americans, rebellious and lost, oppressed and radical, wanting freedom and falling into trouble. The myth of the Beat generation is one of the most distinct myths of American culture of the twentieth century. We know very little about Beat in Poland. Admittedly, there have been several studies concerning the literary output of Beat writers, but they do not fully reflect the complexity of the phenomenon and contexts in which they were shaped. We are constantly looking at them in terms of mythologized rebellion. Associated with beat, Charles Bukowski is the best example of a person whose work was inspired by his own experiences related to sex, alcohol, poverty and human weaknesses.

Abstract:
Abstract The year 2018 was a watershed in environmental activism, especially regarding young activists. Greta Thunberg started her School Strikes for Climate and the environmental movement Extinction Rebellion was founded. This article deals with young people’s involvement in these two global movements. It draws on 60 semi-structured interviews carried out with young environmental activists before, during and after protest actions under the auspices of the climate strikes and/or Extinction Rebellion in five British locations. The period of the political socialisation of this young generation is outlined and how it contributes to young people becoming environmental activists. The article then identifies the “radical” demands made by young environmental activists and their “radical” repertoire of contention in relation to their perceptions of the “radical” compared to hegemonic definitions. The interviews show that these young environmentalists are part of a generation of activists committed to obtaining significant change from powerholders through the use of deliberately non-violent direct action that challenges academic perceptions of radical repertoires of contention.

Full text
Abstract:
Aristocrate andalou, eleveur de taureaux, esoteriste, fernando villalon est avant tout un poete. Cette etude a pour objet de mettre en evidence la coherence, l'originalite et la beaute des trois livres qu'il a publies : andalucia la baja (1926), la toriada (1928), romances del 800 (1929). Dans le premier, il offre une vision complete de la basse andalousie : histoire, paysages, types humains, chants, folklore. La toriada est a la fois un poeme a la gloire du taureau de la marisma, un hommage litteraire rendu a gongora l'annee du tricentenaire de sa mort et une reflexion sur les problemes ecologiques poses par l'avenement d'une agriculture industrielle. Avec romances del 800, premiere partie du livre du meme nom, villalon recree l'atmosphere et les "moments d'ame" d'une epoque proche et deja lointaine : le xixe siecle, tandis qu'il offre, dans les quatre series de gacelas une synthese de sa poesie andalouse. Passionnement attache a l'authenticite andalouse, fernando villalon ne cesse de rejeter dans ces trois livres les images stereotypees de l'andalousie mises a la mode par les voyageurs romantiques du xixe siecle. Il en prend meme souvent le contre-pied pour leur substituer une vision profonde, lyrique et vraie de sa terre dont il decrit la beaute sans en dissimuler la misere. Poete de la generation de 1927 par ses options et ses gouts, villalon occupe au sein de ce groupe une place a part. Il est, en effet, le seul a avoir eu une connaissance directe, viscerale meme, de la terre, le seul a en avoir chante la beaute avec autant de verite, d'art et de penetration<br>Andalusian aristocrat, breeder of fighting bulls, esotericist, fernando villalon is first and foremost a poet. The purpose of the present study is to bring out the coherence, originality and beauty of his three published works : andalucia la baja (1926), la toriada (1928) and romances del 800 (1929). In the first he presents as with an all-embracing vision of lower andalusia : its history, countryside, human types, songs and folklore. La toriada is at one and the same time a celebration of the marisma bull, a literary homage to gongora on the tricentenary of his death an a reflexion on the economic problems raised by the advent of industrialized agriculture. In the romances del 800, the first part of the work of the same title, villalon re-creates the atmosphere and "animic moments" of an era both recent and yet already remote : the 19th century, while the four series of gacelas constitute a synthesis of his andalusian poetry. With his passionnate attachment to what is authentically andalusian, fernando villalon constantly eschews in these three works the cliches of andalusian culture popularized by the romantic travellers of the 19th century. Indeed he often deliberatly contradicts them by means of a heart-felt, lyrical and authentic vision of his region, describing its beauty without disguising its poverty. A poet of the 1927 generation villalon occupies a place apart with in the group. Indeed, he is the only one to have had a direct, even visceral, knowledge of the earth, the only one to have sung its beauty with such truth, art and depth of vision

Abstract:
Abstract The author Markku Lahtela was a central figure in the 1960’s generation rebellion, called the spirit of the 60’s, that criticised the basic values of the old generation and through which the young artists presented their avant-garde ideas. The study focuses on the early 1960’s. The primary data is provided by Lahtela’s second novel called Se and its manuscript. The novel deals in an original way with issues such as the sexual revolution and sexual morality, which were popular themes in the 1960’s. As a secondary source of data, the study also deals to some extent with the rest of Lahtela’s production. The substantial topic is the problematics of change in the 1960’s that arose as a result of modernisation, which only then gained momentum in Finland. The research approach is contextual in that the discussion is based on the postmodern viewpoint. Context is understood as consisting of elements of cultural dialogicality thematised by the author through individuation, which is to be seen in the dialogue of his books. The study focuses on the extraliterary historical context. Among the contexts of the 1960’s, attention is paid mainly to the crisis of representation caused by the changes, by interpreting its commentary and attempts to solve it in Lahtela’s texts. Despite the focus on the extraliterary historical context, textual dimensions are also taken into account in the interpretations. I also discuss to some extent the conditions through which it is possible in literary research to find intermediate standpoints to overcome the opposition between textuality and reality. In the interpretation of the extra- and intraliterary dialogues in Lahtela’s texts, the tools used include the alter ego, the textual “I” and, in neutral cases, the narrator. The novel Se not only participated in topical cultural and literary dialogue, but also reformed Finnish prose by representing autobiographical materials in a fragmentary and fictitious manner. The discussion also shows that Freudian psychoanalysis has contributed significantly to both Se and Lahtela’s production in general. The same also applies to Friedrich Nietzsche’s philosophy of life; some of his ideas have directed the discussion of moral issues characterised by Lahtela’s books and the search for an alternative (sexual) morality<br>Tiivistelmä Kirjailija Markku Lahtela oli keskeinen hahmo vanhan polven perusarvoja arvostelleessa 1960-luvun sukupolvikapinassa, jota nimitettiin 60-lukulaisuudeksi ja jossa nuoret taiteilijat esittelivät avantgardistisia ideoitaan. Tutkimuksen ajallinen pääkohde on 1960-luvun alkupuoli. Primaariaineistona on Lahtelan toinen romaani Se ja sen käsikirjoitus. Teos käsittelee omaperäisesti muun muassa seksuaalista vallankumousta ja seksuaalimoraalia, jotka olivat 1960-luvun muotiteemoja. Sekundaariaineistona tutkimuksessa käsitellään jonkin verran myös Lahtelan muuta tuotantoa. Substantiaalisena aiheena on 1960-luvun muutosproblematiikka, joka syntyi Suomessa vasta tuolloin voimistuneen modernisaation vaikutuksesta. Tutkimukseni lähestymistapa on kontekstuaalinen siten, että tarkastelut pohjaavat myöhäismodernin näkökulmaan. Kontekstin ymmärrän koostuvan kulttuurisen dialogisuuden elementeistä, joita kirjailija tematisoi teostensa dialogina näkyvässä individuaatiossaan. Tutkimuksessani korostuu ulkokirjallinen historiallinen konteksti. 1960-luvun konteksteista olen päähuomion kiinnittänyt muutosten synnyttämään representaation kriisiin tulkitsemalla Lahtelan teksteistä sen kommentointeja ja ratkaisuyrityksiä. Siitä huolimatta, että tutkimuksessani painottuu ulkokirjallinen historiallinen konteksti, otan tulkinnoissani huomioon myös tekstuaalisia ulottuvuuksia. Lisäksi selvitän jonkin verran niitä ehtoja, joiden vallitessa kirjallisuuden tutkimuksessa voidaan löytää välittäviä kantoja tekstuaalisuus–todellisuus–opposition ylittämiseksi. Tulkitessani Lahtelan tekstien ulko- ja sisäkirjallisia dialogeja ovat apuvälineinäni alter ego, tekstuaalinen minä ja kertoja neutraaleissa tapauksissa. Se-romaani paitsi osallistui ajankohtaiseen kulttuuriseen ja kirjalliseen dialogiin myös uudisti suomalaista proosaa representoimalla katkelmallisesti ja fiktiivisesti autobiografista materiaalia. Tarkastelut osoittavat myös sen, että freudilainen psykoanalyysi on ollut Se-romaanin ja laajemminkin Lahtelan tuotannon synnyn tärkeä innoittaja. Sama koskee Friedrich Nietzschen elämänfilosofiaa, jonka tietyt näkemykset ovat suunnanneet Lahtelan teoksissa keskeistä moraalikysymysten käsittelyä ja vaihtoehtoisen (seksuaali)moraalin etsintää

Abstract:
Social forgetting is generated through discreet processing of traumatic historical experiences that cannot be expressed in official representations of public memory. Following the defeat of the 1798 rebellion, former rebels could not be openly memorialised. Epitaphs on graves of United Irishmen were deliberately obscured. Both Catholics and Protestants were unwilling to put their recollections of the rebellion on record. Local memories were noted in travel literature and vernacular poetry offered a medium of remembrance that was less noticeable to outsiders. However, cultural memory can be misleading. Literary representations in historical fiction contributed to social forgetting by covering up less savoury aspects of the rebellion. Towards the end of their lives, elderly members of the generation that had witnessed the events experienced ‘post-memory angst’ and shared with dedicated collectors of historical traditions their memories, which had been shaped through practices of concealment and were full of hesitations.

Abstract:
By the late 1880s, freedom as prosperity and autonomy was coming under threat in Lagos. Increasing numbers of European personnel pushed Africans out of their posts in the civil service and foreign-owned commercial firms, limiting opportunities for elite Africans. White leaders of the mission churches sought to reverse decades-old policies and monopolize control over African congregations. Within the Baptist church—with which Vaughan had been associated since coming to Yorubaland thirty years earlier--a new generation of white missionaries subjected him and others to racist condescension. This chapter considers the responses of Vaughan and his contemporaries to the new era of white supremacy in Lagos. In 1888, Vaughan and several others formed the Native Baptist Church, the first non-missionary church in West Africa; they were followed by separatist movements in other denominations. They linked their struggles to those against slavery, referring to the mission church as a barracoon and their subordination to white missionaries as bondage. Understanding the new racism as part of a wider, Atlantic world phenomenon, Vaughan and the other Christian rebels drew on a classic diasporic strategy of separation from white establishments. Thus, this chapter illustrates the role of the African diaspora in changing developments within Africa.

Abstract:
This chapter examines Helen Hunt Jackson as an exemplary figure for the Reconstruction generation of American writers. Nurtured on the sympathetic universalism animating the antebellum realism of Harriet Beecher Stowe’s 1852 Uncle Tom’s Cabin, Jackson collided with the limits of this model at the moment of its triumph. A successful novelist and poet, Jackson became, in the 1870s, an activist for Native American rights. Working across a variety of genres—travel writing published in prestigious magazines such as The Century, the legal history A Century of Dishonor, and the novel Ramona—Jackson attempted to supplement sentimental modes of universalist appeal with legal arguments appropriate to the United States in the era of the Fourteenth Amendment and picturesque representational strategies appealing to a generation increasingly interested in racial, regional, and gender difference. Tracing out Jackson’s affiliation with a variety of contemporary writers, including Mark Twain, Albion Tourgée, and Henry James, this chapter shows how these writings engaged her in a generational rebellion against the high political moralism of the prewar generation. The “sentimental fools,” “sentimental tourists,” and “mugwump aesthetes” of postbellum literature rejected and transformed the sentimental tradition in ways that prepared the ground for a literary field defined by the paired ideals of autonomous literary experimentalism and authentic, pluralistic cultural expression. This chapter argues that Ramona, in its attempt to compromise between sentimentalism and the new epistemological and aesthetic particularity, must be read as an allegory of public agency in an age of violent territorial expansion and divided fields of discourse.

Abstract:
Chapter 2 examines the first tests of Radegund’s two strategies for protecting Sainte-Croix through three examples. First, it traces Radegund’s pursuit and installation of a prestigious relic at Sainte-Croix, over the hostile objections of her local bishop, through the support of kings, emperors, and more prominent bishops. Second, the chapter recalls the absence of this hostile bishop from Radegund’s funeral and how the Sainte-Croix’s Abbess Agnes calls on Gregory of Tours for assistance. And third, it examines the struggles of Leubovera, first abbess after the death of Sainte-Croix’s “founding generation,” as she dealt with an extensive rebellion within Sainte-Croix. All three of these women succeed over their local officials or rivals through the support of Frankish kings and bishops, whose alliances Radegund had established and subsequent leaders in the monastery cultivated.
