Castles in the air: the life, times and influence of the Reverend Moses Harvey (1820-1901).

The period from 1874 to 1901 was a time of significant transition in the economic and political life of Newfoundland. Twenty years into responsible government and with Confederation on the backburner, the colony’s politicians turned their attention to economic diversification, landward development and carving out the island’s place in the British Empire. The period saw both economic prosperity and retrenchment; the construction of a trans-insular railway; the adoption of policies to foster agriculture, forestry, manufacturing and mining; and diplomatic efforts to resolve France’s outstanding claims on the northwest coast of the island. At the same time, the government made an attempt to intervene directly in its primary industry, the fisheries. It created a Fisheries Commission in 1889 that recommended conservation measures and artificial propagation as ways to restore the health of some of the island’s fish stocks. They also proposed new methods of curing, packaging and marketing Newfoundland’s cod, as well as a complete overhaul of the truck system. A major player in both the public and private debates surrounding all of these subjects was the Reverend Moses Harvey. Along with being minister of the Free Church of Scotland in St. John’s, Harvey was one of Newfoundland’s most active promoters in the late nineteenth century. He served as the media mouthpiece for both Prime Minister William Whiteway and Prime Minister Robert Thorburn; editing the Evening Mercury – the official organ of the Liberal Party and then the Reform Party – from 1882 to 1883 and 1885 until 1890. As well, Harvey wrote regular columns on Newfoundland issues for newspapers in London, New York, Boston, Montreal, Toronto, and Halifax. He also produced numerous books, articles, encyclopedia entries, and travel guides outlining the island’s attractions and its vast economic potential. In short, Harvey made a significant contribution in shaping the way residents and the outside world viewed Newfoundland during this period. This thesis examines late nineteenth-century Newfoundland through the writing of Moses Harvey. The biographical approach offers a fuller, more nuanced account of some of the major historical themes of the period including the politics of progress, opening up the interior, railway construction and attitudes toward the fisheries. It also provides an insider’s prospective on what led to some of the major political decisions, policy positions or compromises taken by the Whiteway and Thorburn governments. Finally, a more detailed review of Harvey’s work exposes the practical and political differences that he had with people like D.W. Prowse and Bishop Michael Howley. While these so-called “boomers” in Newfoundland’s historiography agreed on broad themes, they parted ways over what should be done with the fisheries and how best to channel the colony’s growing sense of nationalism.

Judaïsme : entre impératifs éthiques et normes religieuses.

(Résumé de l'ouvrage) Nos sociétés contemporaines, à l'heure de la mondialisation, ont-elles perdu le sens de l'hospitalité ? Qu'en est-il de ses fonctions et de ses figures à la fois morales, politiques, religieuses et imaginaires ? Lorsque Ulysse abordait un nouveau rivage, la même question revenait : Vais-je trouver des brutes, des sauvages sans justice ou des hommes hospitaliers craignant les dieux ? L'hospitalité a toujours été signe de civilisation et d'humanité, et les pérégrinations d'Ulysse ont su dresser une géographie imaginaire du monde humain, dessinant les contours et traçant les limites de la culture et de la nature. Considérant qu'il est urgent de retrouver cette mémoire hospitalière du monde humain, plus de quatre-vingt-dix auteurs du monde entier ont rassemblé leurs savoirs des us et coutumes, des lieux, des cultures, des représentations, des mythes et des oeuvres d'art qui font de l'hospitalité la plus indispensable des valeurs humaines. Philosophes, historiens, ethnologues, littéraires, linguistes... invitent le lecteur, leur hôte, à découvrir le vaste parcours ouvert des significations et des pratiques de l'accueil dans l'histoire culturelle. Have modern day societies in this era of globalization forgotten the sense of hospitality? Hospitality is a principle which used to play a major social function, with its symbolic, ethical, political and religious figures. This book is designed to preserve the memory of the tradition of hospitality. To that end 90 authors from throughout the world have collaborated to present this exhaustive encyclopedia of the places, the customs, the cultures, the myths and the artistic representations of hospitality, all of which bear witness to its importance as a human value. Philosophers, historians, ethnologists, writers, linguists welcome the reader to discover the place that hospitality has had in cultural history, in terms of both how and why it was practised. - This book offers a fivefold treatment of the perennial tradition of hospitality: - Definitions - Civilizations (throughout history and across religions and cultures) - Institutions and places of hospitality, both real and imaginary (castles, hospitals, gardens, churches, etc.) - Myths, figures and artistic representation - Philosophy, politics and society.

Hacer castells, construir nación: castells, modelo festivo y catalanismo

Este trabajo propone un análisis del proceso del catalanismo, los modelos festivos y los castells para interpretar el modo en que esta relación es histórica y ha pasado por diferentes etapas. Si bien el catalanismo se había aliado con las sardanas hasta los años cincuenta, lo que se ha denominado el modelo festivo de la Catalunya Vella, a partir de este momento y con el inicio de la modernidad castellera, las alianzas se afianzan con los castells, el modelo festivo de la Catalunya Nova. Esto se produce porque los castells pueden hacer frente a los retos de la nueva realidad española y del nuevo nacionalismo que guiará el proceso de construcción de la Cataluña en que vivimos actualmente

Análisis del modelo de gestión de los castillos de la provincia de Alicante : castell d'Ambra (Pego), castell de Castalla (Castalla), castell de Cocentaina (Cocentaina), castell de Monòver (Monòver), castell de Penella (Penella) y castillo de Sax (Sax)

Para remediar la falta de estudios centrados en la gestión del patrimonio cultural en el ámbito local, la investigación llevada a cabo ha apostado por conocer cómo gestionan los municipios de la provincia de Alicante, con una población comprendida entre los 10.001 y los 15.000 habitantes, parte de su patrimonio cultural: los castillos. Se trata de un tema de vital importancia, e inédito en el contexto alicantino, porque si las fortificaciones no se gestionan correctamente puede provocarse un impacto negativo en ellas. Especialmente si no hay gestión o ésta es amateur y/o voluntariosa.

L'Herència dels castells medievals [Ressenya de les Actes del Congrés Els castells medievals a la Mediterrània nord-occidental]

L'edició de les Actes del Congrés "Els Castells Medievals a la Mediterrània nord-occidental" sorgeix d'un objectiu clar i concís que els mateixos coordinadors del congrés, celebrat a Arbúcies entre els dies 5 i 7 de març de 2003, expressen en la introducció: que aquestes actes siguin "una publicació de referència per a la investigació emergent dels castells a Catalunya"
