The Social Context of Eighteenth-Century West New Jersey Brick Artisanry

O presente artigo trata do pensamento de Kant sobre a questão pedagógica. O objetivo consiste em apresentar o conceito de Iluminismo elaborado pelo intelectual e relacioná-lo com o seu pensamento no que diz respeito a educação. Para isso foram utilizados os ensaios: Resposta à pergunta: que é o Iluminismo e Sobre a Pedagogia. O primeiro é uma reflexão sobre o contexto social da Europa do século XVIII e suas consequências para a vida intelectual desse momento histórico. Já o segundo, trata-se de uma reunião de notas elaboradas por Kant e organizadas por seu discípulo Rink. Fortemente influenciadas por Rousseau, essas notas apresentam o pensamento kantiano por um longo período e destacam a questão da liberdade, do progresso e da autonomia a fim de educar um ser moral. A partir disso é possível perceber a influência daquilo que o autor entende como Iluminismo no processo de formação do homem, que para ele inicia desde muito cedo, quando a criança nasce, e se mantém até a juventude, sem um momento preciso para conclusão. Desse modo se torna evidente a atualidade do pensamento de Kant principalmente sobre o quão fundamental é aprender a pensar por si e assim fazer um bom uso da liberdade, caminhar para o progresso com fim na moralidade. * * *This article discuss the Kant's thought regarding to the pedagogical question. The aim consist in show the concept of Enlightenment elaborated by the intellectual and relate to his thought about education. Therefore, was used the essays: An answer to the question: What is Enlightenment and On Pedagogy. The first is a reflection on the social context of eighteenth-century in Europe and its consequences for the intellectual life. The second, it is a combination of notes elaborated by Kant and organized by his disciple Rink. Strongly influenced by Rousseau, the notes are based on the thinking for a long period and priorize the question of freedom, the progress and the auton-omy of a moral being. From this, it is possible realize the influence of that what the author understand as Enlightenment during the process of humani-ty formation that for him begins when the children born, and keep during the youth, without a precise moment to the conclusion. In this way became evi-dent the currentness of Kant's thought, especially to show how fundamental is learn to think for oneself and thus make a good use of freedom, to walk to progress with finality on the morality.

<p>C. de La Serre was a composer, copyist and maître de musique. His known compositions are all airs sérieux and airs à boire, appearing in printed sources and manuscripts between 1716 and 1724. His individual collection, Recueil d’airs nouveaux sérieux et à boire (1724) provides the most complete picture of his achievements as a composer, as it exhibits the largest number of his songs in a single volume. Another side of La Serre’s musical activity is also considered in the present study, as it includes the examination of selections from the manuscript F-CECm/Ms. 282, of which he was the copyist. The distinguishing characteristic of this manuscript is its collection of canons, which may be the largest of its kind. La Serre’s own music is included in F-CECm/Ms. 282, along with airs by composers such as Jean-Baptiste de Bousset, François Couperin and Jean-Philippe Rameau. This thesis places canons, airs sérieux and airs à boire composed by La Serre and other prominent songwriters of the period within the social context of the French Regency, and the context of the genres at the beginning of the eighteenth century. The conventions of verse and music are also considered in relation to specific airs of the printed collection and the manuscript. A catalogue of La Serre’s Recueil d’airs nouveaux sérieux et à boire and the edited selections of F-CECm/Ms. 282 is also included. Volume II comprises a critical edition of La Serre’s 1724 collection and selections from the manuscript.</p>

Anglophone World

ABSTRACTThe article explores ‘commonwealth’ both as a term and a conceptual field across the early modern period, with a particular focus on the Anglophone world. The shifts of usage of ‘commonwealth’ are explored, from a term used to describe the polity, to one used to describe a particular, republican form of polity, through to its eclipse in the eighteenth century by other terms such as ‘nation’ and ‘state’. But the article also investigates the variety of usages during any one time, especially at moments of crisis, and the network of related terms that constituted ‘commonwealth’. That investigation requires, it is argued, not just a textual approach but one that embraces social custom and practice, as well as the study of literary and visual forms through which the keyword ‘commonwealth’ was constructed. The article emphasizes the importance of social context to language; the forms, metaphors and images used to describe and depict the polity; and to show how linguistic change could occur through the transmutation of elements of the conceptual field that endowed the keyword with its meaning.

Muslim Communities

This chapter provides historical background on Islamic institutions in Central Asia since the eighteenth century, as well as the social context of Islamic practices and institutions. It then explains the creation of the Central Asian muftiate, SADUM, in 1943 and its early struggles to cement control over selected Muslim communities. The chapter describes how this unsuccessful centralization drive set the tone for the more nuanced institution-building strategies that SADUM developed in the 1950s. The chapter also discusses early debates within the Communist Party (within the context of World War II) about how to adopt a more flexible posture toward religion after Stalin’s religious reforms of 1943‒44.
