Independent Thinking

“Jack of all trades” Ahmed Midhat Efendi, one of the most famous and popular Ottoman writers of the 19th century, ranged widely in his subject matter, which included economics. Although he was criticized for not having a proper education in the field, his independent thinking made him the most important critic of the laissez-faire system that prevailed in the Ottoman Empire. He disapproved of the liberalism transferred from the West in a normative framework.

Room Of One's Own

Several art historians have discerned a gendered division of subject matter between male and female artists of the late 19th century. Griselda Pollock's landmark text, “Modernity and the Spaces of Femininity,” serves as both the first and fullest discussion of this issue from a feminist perspective. Pollock argues that women Impressionists should not be viewed as outside the development and rhetoric of modernity because of their failure to depict its most representative sites (cafés, bars, and other public spaces where bourgeois women dared not enter); rather, we should note their restricted, chiefly domestic realm as another space of modernity that these women were particularly adept at analyzing. According to Robert Herbert, works by women Impressionists are “easily distinguished” from those of their male counterparts, who tend to highlight the figures over their surroundings and fail to note the expressive capabilities of household furnishings. There is much to recommend the approaches of both Pollock and Herbert; in particular, they have given critical and aesthetic value to the paintings of women Impressionists in their analyses. But, paradoxically, their analyses also have the effect of reinforcing the same gendered distinctions of paintings once used to devalue those works by women.

The 19Th Century

Timeless attributes of children’s games, i.e. toys, have been made the subject of research. The authors focus on the toys received by children from Polish families during Christmas. The aim of these analyses is therefore to characterise Christmas children’s toys presented in two types of sources intentionally addressed to children: children’s literature and press. The research covers the second half of the 19th century and the beginning of the following century. The article in its subject matter refers to the Authors’ earlier research on Christmas toys and is in line with the ever developing trend of research on toys from the historical and pedagogical perspective.
