The 19Th Century

The article compares a vast period of different depictions of the lived experiences of travellers in Siberia (17th - 20th centuries). Although their initial intentions were similar, the position of writers regarding their experiences radically differs depending on the period. In fact, 17th-century travel literature recounts the arduous conditions of journeying without describing its toll on the body. Descriptions of the physical effects on the body do not truly appear in texts until the 18th century and during the 19th century, probably linked to a new concern for comfort. From then on, rendering the physical and mental effort had an important place in travel discourse.

And Diffusion

All major Romance languages have patterns of the type jaune paille for expressing shades of colour represented by some prototypical object. The first constituent of this pattern is a colour term, while the second one designates a prototypical representative of the colour shade. The present paper starts with a short discussion of the controversial grammatical status of this pattern and its constituents. Its main aim, however, concerns the origin and diffusion of this pattern. We have not found hard and fast evidence that Medieval Italian pigment compounds of the type verderame influenced the rise of the jaune paille pattern, which first appears in French in the 16th century. This pattern continued to be a minority solution during the 17th century, but established itself during the 18th century. In the 19th century, Italian, Spanish and Portuguese adopted the pattern jaune paille, while it did not reach Catalan and Romanian before the 20th century.

Summary The so-called ‘genius of language’ may be regarded as one of the most influential, and versatile, metalinguistic metaphors used to describe vernacular languages from the 17th century onwards. Over the centuries, philosophers, grammarians, trans­lators and language critics etc. wrote of the ‘genius of language’ in a wide range of text types and with reference to various linguistic positions so that a set of rather diverse types of the concept was created. This paper traces three prominent stages in the development of the ‘genius of language’ argument and, by identifying some of the most frequent types as they evolved in the context of the various linguistic dis­courses, endeavours to show the major transformations of the concept. While early on, discussion of the stylistic and grammatical type of the ‘genius of language’ concentrates on surface features in the languages considered, during the middle of the 18th century, the ‘genius of language’ is relocated to the semantic, interior part of language. With the 19th-century notion of an organological ‘genius of language’, the former static concept is personified and recast in a dynamic form until, taken to its nationalistic extremes, the ‘genius of language’ argument finally ceases to be of any epistemological and scientific value.

Chiropractic cannot be understood without examining the decades of “metaphysical” healing before its development. Chapter two considers the early life of D. D. Palmer, who before discovering chiropractic, practiced vital magnetic healing, a popular therapy aimed at relieving obstructions of the life force in the body. An examination of Palmer’s self-published newspapers shows his belief in vitalism and his anti-authoritarian outlook. The chapter explores the roots of chiropractic in magnetism, and discusses the changes in that practice from its 18th century form as mesmerism through its 19th century encounter with neurology and other modern medical sciences. In the 19th century Midwest, magnetic healers were socially marginal in the Midwest, but their practice held appeal in a neurocentric health culture which prioritized spinal treatments. Some practitioners, like Sidney Abram Weltmer and Paul Caster, built their proprietary practices into full magnetic healing hospitals.

The first scientific expedition to the Galápagos took place, as stated, when Malaspina made his brief call in 1790. In the 19th century a series of other and more important scientific expeditions followed, among them notably H.M.S. Beagle which arrived in 1835 with Charles Darwin as naturalist on board. Right up to the present time naturalists have been drawn to the Galápagos due to its unique fauna and flora, and biologically and geologically the group has been carefully surveyed. The many visiting expeditions have, however, never assumed the special task of searching for archaeological remains, and no signs of early occupation have been reported, other than man-made caves in the local tuff and broken Spanish jars and porcelain, all properly ascribed to the late 17th century buccaneers and the 18th century whalers.

La Palis is a literary character that appeared in anonymous couplets The Death of La Palis published in the early 18th century. The image of La Palis in songs is ambiguous: he is both a naive simpleton and a parodic counterpart of the panegyric image of Marshal Jacques de La Palice (1470–1525). The irony of these early verses about La Palis is usually explained by the simplicity of the soldiers who allegedly composed them in 1525 or by the further distortion of the original text. In reality, this irony bears the imprint of the 17th century burlesque poetry. In 1715, the literary image of La Palis was canonized by Bernard La Monnoy, the author of the term nizy style. The nizy style, also called the Lapalissade, is a special kind of tautology that, as Clement Rosset aptly put it, “for a moment causes a hallucination of difference.” In the 19th century, the typically Lapalissian formula “if they did not die, then they are still alive” is recorded in the tales of various peoples of Europe; the relationship between these national formulas remains unclear. The article also examines the mastering the nizy style by O. Goldsmith and Russian translators from the 18th century to the present day.

Written Sources

Under examination are the developments that occurred in name traditions that were caused by Christianisation as can be ascertained on the basis of written sources. The area under examination is the Livonian revenue district which was defined in the 17th century, and which, by the end of the century, comprised the Svētciems Manor. The first names of the peasants identified as Livonians in the first half of the 19th century were compared to the first names of the farmers recorded in the soul revisions from the 17th century. As a result, the article ascertains that the custom of having two first names had disappeared by the 17th century. In the 18th century, a new name – Gust/Gustav – had been added to the name tradition in the region. By the turn of the 19th century, after six centuries of integration under colonial rule, the Christian names of the Livonians, Latvians, and Estonians were so similar that it was difficult to distinguish among them based on their first names. Various local versions of Western European Christian names were overwhelmingly in use.Kokkuvõte. Aldur Vunk: Muutused liivlaste eesnimedes Salatsi piirkonnas 17. ja 18. sajandil. Otsest survet pühakunimede valimisel, nagu oli tavaks idakirikus, läänekirik ei tundnud. Siiski oli ristinimede valikus ka uusajal enamus apostlite ja pühakute nimesid. Liivi vakuse talupoegade 44 eesnimest olid 1624. aasta revisjoni põhjal selliseid nimesid 31: Marten (4), Tomas/Tohmas (4), Matz/Matzken (4), Hanß (4), Hans (3), Jan/Jans (3), Andres/Andreas (3), Jürgen/Jür (3), Jak/Jack (2) ja Peter. Kui siia lisada veel Grist Hanß (3), oli apostlite ja pühakute nimesid eesnimedest 70%. Sama tüüpi eesnimed olid valitsevad ka 60 aastat hiljem, kui Svētciems’i mõisa 40 peremehe eesnimedest olid 31 tuletatud apostlite ja pühakute nimedest: Hans (5), Andrus/Andres (5), Jack (5), Jörgen (4), Mats (3), Tohm (2), Jahn (2), Jüri (2), Juhan, Tönnis ja Marten. Ebajärjekindlus nimede kirjaviisides 17.–19. sajandil ei võimalda teha detailseid järeldusi, kuid nimevormide Hanß ja Hans esinemise järgi juba 1624. aasta revisjonikirjetes võib tõmmata paralleeli 19. sajandi alguses kasutuses olnud nimevormidega Anz, Ansche ja Ange. Huvitav on veel 17. sajandi esimesel poolel eksisteerinud kahe eesnime panemise komme, eriti nimepaari esimene nimi, milleks järjekindlalt oli Grist. Selle kombe tagamaid on ühe allika põhjal raske välja selgitada ja võib vaid oletada, et tegemist on katoliku aja traditsiooniga. Usupuhastusliikumise vastuoludele, mis veel 17. sajandil oli olulise tähendusega, võib osundada ka tunduvalt vähemat kasutust leidnud eesnimi Pape/Poope. Kokkuvõttes on 17. sajandist kuni 19. sajandini eesnimede traditsiooni muutuste taga küllalt sageli näha poliitilisi ja ühiskondlikke arenguid. Nimetraditsioon ei jäänud juba keskajal lokaalseks nähtuseks ja oli vägagi sarnane ülejäänud kristliku ruumiga. Samuti väljendusid selles reformatsiooniajastu vastuolud ja võimalik, et koguni oma vaadete manifesteerimine. Nähtavasti jättis talupoeglik nimetraditsioon lisaks järjepidevusele selles koha ka poolehoiuavaldustele headele isandatele või mõjukatele ristivanematele.Märksõnad: Liivimaa, Salatsi liivlased, ajalooline onomastika, eesnimedKubbõvõttõks.

Most writers assume that, until geological findings forced them to modify their beliefs in the 19th Century, all Christians believed that the earth was created in 4004 BC on the basis of Ussher’s chronological calculations. By considering first John Ray and his contemporary theologians, poets and naturalists, it is clear that few followed Ussher even in the 17th Century. They favoured a Chaos-Restitution interpretation of Genesis One allowing a longer time. Most held this in the 18th Century but after the awareness of vast geological time the duration of Chaos was vastly extended to include all geological time. This preceded the Gap Theory of Chalmers in 1802. Until the 1850s this was the dominant interpretation, when Hugh Miller and Rorison rejected it. After that most conservative Christians rejected it, but it found new life in the Scofield Bible only to be rejected after the rise of Creationism in 1961.

Widespread bottom trawling in British waters has traditionally been dated from the last decades of the 18th century, and its early heartland has most commonly been identified as the Torbay area of Devon. This article shows that, in fact, by the time Torbay became known as a centre for the industry, bottom trawling was already well-known and relatively widespread around much of England and Wales, as well as large parts of Eastern and Southern Ireland. Following on from an earlier contribution in this journal, it also demonstrates that bottom trawling’s unbroken history, going back to at least the first decades of the 17th century, has always been beset by controversy, but that the middle decades of the 19th century saw a sea-change in official attitudes that, in effect, ushered in an era of unfettered expansion in industrial beam trawling by the 1890s.

AbstrakSejarah kesenian Debus di Kabupaten Serang dapat dikatakan masih sangat gelap karena tidak ada sumber-sumber tertulis yang bisa menjelaskan atau mengungkapkan periode Debus sebelum abad 19. Umumnya sumber yang ada hanya menjelaskan bahwa debus mulai ada pada abad ke-16 atau ke-17 pada masa kekuasaan Sultan Ageng Tirtayasa. Periode yang mulai terang adalah ketika masa mendekati awal kemerdekaan yaitu  tahun 1938 ketika di Kabupaten Serang berdiri kelompok seni Debus di Kecamatan Walantaka,  itu pun dengan sumber sumber yang terbatas. Hal menarik dari kesenian Debus ini adalah karena pada awalnya kesenian Debus mempunyai fungsi sebagai penyebaran agama Islam tetapi terjadi perubahan fungsi pada masa penjajahan Belanda yaitu pada masa pemerintahan Sultan Agung Tirtayasa seni ini digunakan untuk membangkitkan semangat perjuangan rakyat Banten melawan penjajah. Atas dasar itu maka dilakukan penelitian  mengenai Sejarah Kesenian Debus di Kabupaten Serang dengan tujuan untuk dapat mengungkapkan latar belakang perjalanan sejarah serta dinamika perkembangannya. Adapun metode yang digunakan adalah metode sejarah. Saat ini permainan seni Debus dapat di katagorikan sebagai bentuk hiburan bagi masyarakat yang di dalamnya mengandung unsur zikir, silat, dan kekebalan. AbstractIt was not until the 19th century that written history of debus performing art came into light. The only thing we had was the information that debus began in 16th and 17th century during the reign of Sultan Ageng Tirtayasa. The light came to us saying that in 1938 there was a debus performing art group in Kecamatan (district) Walantaka, but the source is limited. Previously, debus functions as a means to disseminate Islam, but then it turned to be one used to fight Dutch colonialism in the reign of Sultan Ageng Tirtayasa. Today debus is a popular performing art involving zikir (rememberance of God in religous context), silat (traditional martial art), and kekebalan (make the body insensitive in order not to be conquered easily). The research aims to trace back the history of debus and its dynamic growth by conducting history methods.
