Full text
Abstract:
What can anthropological and folkloristic approaches to food, gender, and medicine tell us about these topics in the Middle Ages beyond the textual evidence itself? Women, Food, and Diet in the Middle Ages: Balancing the Humours uses these approaches to look at the textual traditions of dietary recommendations for women’s health, placed within the context of the larger cultural concerns of gender roles and Church teachings about women. Women are expected to be nurturers, healers, and the primary locus of food provisioning for families, especially women of the lower social classes, typically overlooked in the written record. This work illuminates what we can know about women, food, medicine, and diet in the Middle Ages, and examines how the written medical tradition interacts with folk medicine and other cultural factors in both understanding women’s bodies and their roles as healers and food providers.

Cortazzi, Hugh, ed. Japanese Studies in Britain. GB Folkestone: Amsterdam University Press, 2016. http://dx.doi.org/10.5117/9781898823582.

Full text
Abstract:
This book takes an in-depth look at the study of Japan in contemporary Britain, highlighting the many strengths but also pointing out some weaknesses, while at the same time offering a valuable historical record of the origins and development of Japanese Studies in British universities and other institutions. It comprises essays written by scholars from universities all over Britain – from Edinburgh and Newcastle to Cardiff, SOAS and Oxbridge+, as well as contributions from various supporting foundations and organizations – from the British Association of Japanese Studies (BAJS) to the Sainsbury Institute for the Study of Japanese Arts and Cultures (SISJAC). It opens with an historical overview by Peter Kornicki, followed by chapters on the important role of missionaries in advancing Japanese language studies in pre-war Japan by Hamish Ion and the contribution of the British consular and military officers before 1941 by Jim Hoare. Japanese Studies in Britain gives a snapshot of the present state of Japanese Studies in Britain. It also provides an important new benchmark and point of reference regarding the present options for studying Japan at British universities. It offers in addition a wider perspective on the role, relevance and future direction of Japanese Studies for academia, business and government, students planning their future careers and more generally the world of education, as well as readers interested in the developing relationship between Britain and Japan.

Abstract:
Syncope, or the transient loss of consciousness, is one of the leading causes of emergency department visits. Syncope can be neurally mediated, orthostatic, cardiac, or cerebrovascular. Neurally mediated vasovagal syncope is the most frequent form. Diagnostic modalities are tilt- table testing and implantable loop recorders. Therapeutic options usually begin with supportive measures, such as a fluid bolus or changing patient positioning, but complex cases may require vasoactive agents or placement of a pacemaker. In many situations patients who present to the operating room for various surgeries may suffer from asymptomatic neurally mediated syncope. Regional anesthetic techniques and interventional pain procedures can complicate syncope by superimposing sympathectomy.

Davies, Vanessa, and Dimitri Laboury, eds. The Oxford Handbook of Egyptian Epigraphy and Paleography. Oxford University Press, 2020. http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/oxfordhb/9780190604653.001.0001.

Full text
Abstract:
Epigraphy and palaeography are ways of recording, analyzing, and interpreting texts and images. This Handbook discusses technical issues about recording text and art and interpretive questions about what we do with those records and why we do it. The Handbook aims to • discuss current theories with regard to the cultural setting and material realities in which Egyptian epigraphy was produced;• familiarize the reader with epigraphic techniques and practices; and• outline and review traditional and emerging techniques and challenges as a guide for future research. The chapters offer a diachronic perspective, covering all Egyptian scripts from prehistoric through Coptic, a look at recording techniques that considers past, present, and future, and a focus on colleagues’ experiences. The diachronic perspective illustrates the range of techniques used to record different phases of writing in different media. The consideration of past, present, and future techniques allows readers to understand why particular strategies are or were employed by linking the aims of an effort with the chosen technique. The choice of techniques is a matter of goals and the records’ work circumstances, an inevitable consequence of epigraphy being a double projection: geometrical, transcribing in two dimensions an object that exists physically in three, and mental, an interpretation, with an inevitable selection among the object’s defining characteristics. Colleagues’ experiences provide a range of perspectives and opinions. These accounts are interesting and instructive stories of innovation in the face of scientific conundrum.

Ashurst-McGee, Mark, Robin Jensen, and Sharalyn D. Howcroft, eds. Foundational Texts of Mormonism. Oxford University Press, 2018. http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/oso/9780190274375.001.0001.

Full text
Abstract:
In the 1970s Mormon historian Dean C. Jessee began carefully studying the letters and other papers of Joseph Smith, the founding prophet of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Since that time, the archival availability, publication, and use of early Mormon documents has taken vast leaps forward. Foundational Texts of Mormonism contributes to that advancement by presenting various chapters investigating and analyzing several essential primary sources that are commonly used in research on the founding era of Mormonism (through 1844, the end of church founder Joseph Smith’s life). The depth of and sustained interest in the content of the documentary record of the LDS church has, ironically, offered historians a wide array of source material from which to draw, but without a deep understanding of the production of those historical records. Many of these essential sources—including journals of early church members, histories of Joseph Smith, religious epistles, sermons, and sacred texts—have complex production histories that must be understood in order to use the sources responsibly. The chapters of this volume draw on the fields of history, archival studies, documentary editing, material culture, descriptive bibliography, textual diplomatics, and others to provide a careful and critical look at several major sources with which historians attempt to reconstruct the early Mormon past. This book offers historians more solid footing in the documentary record in the advancing field of Mormon studies.

Abstract:
In this chapter, we look at a further aspect of the story revealed by the documents collected by Cai Yong and Liu Hong: the records of debates on technical matters during the first and second centuries CE, debates which were often held in the presence of large audiences of officials. We look at the issues that were raised in such debates, and at the varieties of evidence and arguments that the participants attempted to use to support their positions. First, however, we look at two instances where outsiders came to court to display their expertise, with somewhat different results. We shall see more of this kind of intervention in the next chapter 8, where Liu Hong becomes directly involved in evaluating the proposals made by those without official standing.

Abstract:
We look first at the situation in the early years of the restored Han dynasty. Liu Xin’s system continued in use for more than half a century. Then, in 85 CE, Liu Xin’s system was replaced. We have records of the practical and theoretical grounds on which the old system was rejected, and of the creation and implementation of a new system. Next we follow the story of how c. 92 CE Jia Kui advocated a fundamental innovation in both theory and practice: he insisted on the ecliptic as being central to astronomical observation and calculation. The richness of records from this period makes it easy to tell a detailed story of technical innovation in its fullest context, leading up to the work of Zhang Heng (78–139 CE), for whom astronomical calculation was just one of several fields in which he gained a reputation for exceptional originality.

Full text
Abstract:
This book takes a fresh look at documentary forgery and historical memory in the Middle Ages. In the tenth and eleventh centuries, religious houses across Europe began falsifying texts to improve local documentary records on an unprecedented scale. As the book illustrates, the resulting wave of forgery signaled major shifts in society and political culture, shifts which would lay the foundations for the European ancien régime. Spanning documentary traditions across France, England, Germany and northern Italy, the book examines five sets of falsified texts to demonstrate how forged records produced in this period gave voice to new collective identities within and beyond the Church. Above all, the book indicates how this fad for falsification points to new attitudes toward past and present — a developing fascination with the signs of antiquity. These conclusions revise traditional master narratives about the development of antiquarianism in the modern era, showing that medieval forgers were every bit as sophisticated as their Renaissance successors. Medieval forgers were simply interested in different subjects — the history of the Church and their local realms, rather than the literary world of classical antiquity. As a comparative history of falsified records at a crucial turning point in the Middle Ages, the book offers valuable insights into how institutions and individuals rewrote and reimagined the past.

Abstract:
This book examines the phenomenon of adapting musicals originally written for the Broadway or West End (London) stage into Hollywood movies. It highlights tensions between live and recorded media, between the culture of the East and West Coasts of America, and between producers on Hollywood and Broadway. The book is divided into sections dealing with identity, technology, audiences, music, stars and multiple adaptations of single works. A range of methodologies is used, including film studies and musicology, and archival research has informed original readings in various chapters. Some chapters also look at how the stage musical concerned is already an adaptation, e.g from a play or novel. Overall, the book reflects on stage-to-screen adaptations and offers an introduction to the scholarship on the subject, often offering the first-ever scholarship on various important films.

Abstract:
This chapter takes a look at Article 38 of the International Court of Justice (ICJ) Statute. This article intends to define so-called sources or origins of international law to be used by the World Court. The text dates back to 1920, before the predecessor of the ICJ, i.e. the PCIJ, took up its activities. The chapter notes that since 1920, Article 38 has featured prominently in the theory on so-called sources of international law, while the provision has been of little relevance in the case law of the International Court of Justice (ICJ) and its predecessor. Based mainly on historical records, the chapter seeks an explanation, which in turn may shed new light on sources theory.

Abstract:
This chapter examines how Chicago-based gospel artists used their songs to help advance social causes. Many artists used their singing to support the civil rights movement, such as participating in gospel programs that raised funds for civil rights organizations, writing odes to the movement, or singing songs that expressed displeasure with the way black people were treated everywhere. Gospel songs of the 1960s could be expected to resound with protests against racism and calls for freedom and equality. This chapter takes a look at gospel singers who were involved in the civil rights movement, including Mahalia Jackson, who joined the 1963 March on Washington led by Martin Luther King, Jr., and James Cleveland, Sam Cooke, and the Staple Singers. It also considers other mass marches that became rallying points for the gospel music community, including Freedom Sunday in 1966. Finally, it discusses gospel groups that recorded songs with explicit social messages, such as the Norfleet Brothers and Salem Travelers, along with tribute recordings spawned by King's assassination.

Abstract:
This chapter takes a close look at ergativity in Indo-Aryan, the only language family for which we have a continuous attested record for over three thousand years. Old Indo-Aryan did not have an over ergative case whereas many of the New Indo-Aryan languages do. It tracks the diachronic trajectory of a result-stative construction from Old Indo-Aryan to its reanalysis as an ergative construction in Middle Indo-Aryan and explore the variation found in further developments in New Indo-Aryan languages, wherein several languages lose aspects of the ergative system, or innovate morphological material to reinforce the structural pattern. We discuss the relationship of ergativity to various structural and semantic factors that have been adduced in the literature. This includes agreement patterns, possessors, aspect, evidentiality and various lexical semantic factors.

Abstract:
This chapter focuses on two marble tauroctony statue groups that are now in the British Museum’s collection. Both are thought to be originally from Rome and date roughly to between the end of the first and the second century AD. In this opening chapter, we look at several of the many interpretations that have been offered for the tauroctony and discuss the image’s development in the Roman world. At the heart of all such interpretations lies the problem of how to reconstruct an ancient reality based on scant remains. These carefully constructed compositions, painstakingly restored in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, simultaneously present us with the characteristic representation of Mithras in the Roman Empire, yet also show the difficulties in reconstructing ancient religion from a fragmented material record.

Full text
Abstract:
This chapter attempts to construct a model of the relationships between Pannonia and Italy in the sixth century from archaeological, textual, and genetic sources without recourse to the master narrative imposed by Paulus centuries later. Although frequently criticized, the seductiveness of his account and his putative reliance on the Origo gentis Langobardorum and a lost history of Secundus of Trent have inevitably led scholars to attempt to reconcile his account of Longobard early history with fragmentary material evidence and the testimony of authors contemporary to the events Paulus recorded over two hundred years later. However, since the Origo is itself a seventh-century text and Secundus, too, was writing in the seventh century, it is perhaps worthwhile to consider, as a thought experiment, what the history of the Longobards would look like if one attempted to reconstruct it from sixth century sources without recourse to Paulus or to the Origo. The purpose of this chapter is not ultimately to reject Paulus or the Origo in their entirety, but rather, as a thought experiment, to ask what image might emerge of Pannonia and Italy in this crucial period without them.

Full text
Abstract:
For the past several decades, scholars have stressed that the genius of John Henry Newman remained underappreciated among his Roman Catholic contemporaries, and in order to find the true impact of his work, one must look to the century after his death. This book takes direct aim at that assumption. Examining a host of overlooked evidence from England and the European continent, Newman’s Early Legacy tracks letters, recorded conversations, and obscure and unpublished theological exchanges to show how Newman’s 1845 Essay on the Development of Christian Doctrine influenced a cadre of Catholic teachers, writers, and Church authorities in nineteenth-century Rome. The book explores how these individuals then employed Newman’s theory of development to argue for the definability of the new dogma of the Immaculate Conception of Mary during the years preceding the doctrine’s promulgation in 1854. Through numerous twists and turns, the narrative traces how the theory of development became a factor in determining the very language that the Roman Catholic Church would use in referring to doctrinal change over time. In this way, Newman’s Early Legacy uncovers a key dimension of Newman’s significance in modern religious history.

Full text
Abstract:
In 9 CE, the powerful courtier Wang Mang deposed the infant prince of Han and took power as first emperor of his own dynasty. To help him sustain this claim, Liu Xin created what amounted to a Grand Unified Theory, in which all the important regularities of nature were explained with reference to numbers. We shall look in detail at the Triple Concordance system that resulted from this initiative, and follow through some examples of calculation based on it. Here we shall meet for the first time certain common features of all such systems. Liu Xin also undertook an ambitious project to use his new system to reconstruct the records of astronomical phenomena in a number of historical texts. Liu Xin’s work gives us an in-depth view of how one of the central figures in the early development of Chinese mathematical sciences saw the world.

Full text
Abstract:
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.

Abstract:
Iterations of Law: Legal Histories from India advances new perspectives on legal history from South Asia. While earlier historians looked at the results rather than the performance of law, the contributors to this volume examine the socioeconomic and political contexts that shape law-making and its practice. The chapters of this volume interrogate ‘from below’ the framing of legal regimes, and explore the physical and epistemic violence of colonial law. The contributors look at the ways in which colonized subjects shape the contours of legal spaces through constant interchange, conflict, and adjustment between the rulers and the governed. The volume critically engages with not just archival material ranging from case law to legal treatises but also everyday records of rule to investigate the relationship between the discipline of history and the institution of law. It focuses on the complex moments in the life of the law when rights or claims simultaneously bring into existence a new economy of power and authority.

Axworthy, Michael. Iran. Oxford University Press, 2017. http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/wentk/9780190232955.001.0001.

Full text
Abstract:
Since the beginning of recorded history, Iran/Persia has been one of the most important world civilizations. Iran remains a distinct civilization today despite its status as a major Islamic state with broad regional influence and its deep integration into the global economy through its vast energy reserves. Yet the close attention paid to Iran in recent decades stems from the impact of the 1979 revolution, which unleashed ideological shock waves throughout the Middle East that reverberate to this day. Many observers look at Iran through the prism of the Islamic Republic's adversarial relationship with the US, Israel, and Sunni nations in its region, yet as Michael Axworthy shows in Iran: What Everyone Needs to Know, there is much more to contemporary Iran than its fraught and complicated foreign relations.

Abstract:
As much as we may look for continuities across historical divides, the Interregnum and the closing of the theatres produced many kinds of fracture in the ways Shakespeare’s tragedies were performed. This chapter uses four case studies—Romeo and Juliet, Hamlet, Macbeth, and King Lear—to explore the history of tragic performance in the period between 1660 -1780, and to reveal the complexities of the cultural contexts within which the re-making and re-presenting of Shakespeare on stage took place. From the various treatments of Juliet's awakening in adaptations by Otway, Cibber and Garrick, through the ways in which performance and published texts of Hamlet differed, to the record of what Macbeth wore and what he said before he died, and to the emotions that performances of King Lear were intended to evoke in their audiences, we can trace the changes in audience taste that remade Shakespearean tragedy on the stage.

Abstract:
This chapter focuses on the rise of Chicago's gospel quartets, hailed as the “rock stars of religious music” by music historian Al Young, after World War II. The postwar migration to Chicago coincided with the rise to national prominence of the male gospel quartet. Quartets such as the Soul Stirrers, the Pilgrim Travelers, and the Harmonizing Four were packing auditoriums with exciting live performances, singing on hundreds of radio stations, and sellling records by the tens of thousands. This chapter first takes a look at the gospel music of the Soul Stirrers before turning to churches and venues featuring local and traveling quartets. It then considers other quartets and gospel singers, including Sam Cooke and Paul Foster, R. H. Harris and the Christland Singers, the Highway QCs, Johnnie Taylor, James Phelps and the Clefs of Calvary, and Roscoe Robinson. It also discusses three quartets that formed in the South, migrated to Chicago, and became nationally recognized artists: the Pilgrim Jubilee Singers, the Kelly Brothers, and the Norfleet Brothers.

Abstract:
This chapter recovers the history of recruited Chinese laborers, known as motores de sangre, for use in national colonization. Records from cientificos, or technocratic officials, of the Porfirian regime show how racialized notions of Chinese migrants as disposable workers informed Mexican modernization programs. The chapter traces agents of industrialization and how they appropriated streams of contracted Asian coolie laborers, to advance railroads and plantations. The highest concentrations of Chinese people in Mexico occurred in the states of Sonora and Yucatán. Chinese workers were primarily used in contentious territory with rebellious indigenous populations. The chapter turns to the development of treaty relations with China and national debates about Chinese immigration. These debates demonstrate how racial discourses of Indians and Chinese were linked. The more that Indians were seen as obstacles of modernization, the greater the reliance upon the Chinese; and when Indians were seen as agents of modernization, the more the Chinese were despised. Finally, a close look at the near complete reliance upon Chinese in national colonization of Baja California
