Book Synopsis Time and the French Revolution by : Matthew John Shaw
Download or read book Time and the French Revolution written by Matthew John Shaw and published by Boydell & Brewer Ltd. This book was released on 2011 with total page 205 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A history of the innovation and effects of the French Republican Calendar. The French Republican Calendar was perhaps the boldest of all the reforms undertaken in Revolutionary France. Introduced in 1793 and used until 1806, the Calendar not only reformed the weeks and months of the year, but decimalisedthe hours of the day and dated the year from the beginning of the French Republic. This book not only provides a history of the calendar, but places it in the context of eighteenth-century time-consciousness, arguing that the French were adept at working within several systems of time-keeping, whether that of the Church, civil society, or the rhythms of the seasons. Developments in time-keeping technology and changes in working patterns challenged early-modern temporalities, and the new calendar can also be viewed as a step on the path toward a more modern conception of time. In this context, the creation of the calendar is viewed not just as an aspect of the broader republican programme of social, political and cultural reform, but as a reflection of a broader interest in time and the culmination of several generations' concern with how society should be policed. Matthew Shaw is a curatorat the British Library, London.

Book Synopsis Towards a Global History of Domestic and Caregiving Workers by :
Download or read book Towards a Global History of Domestic and Caregiving Workers written by and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2015-05-26 with total page 584 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Domestic and caregiving work has been at the core of human existence throughout history. Poorly paid or even unpaid, this work has been assigned to women in most societes and occasionally to men often as enslaved, indentures, "adopted" workers. While some use domestic service as training for their own future independent households, others are confined to it for life and try to avoid damage to their identities (Part One). Employment conditions are even worse in colonizer-colonized dichotomies, in which the subalternized have to run the households of administrators who believe they are running an empire (Part Two). Societies and states set the discriminatory rules, those employed develop strategies of resistance or self-protection (Part Three). A team of international scholars addresses these issues globally with a deep historical background. Contributors are: Ally Shireen, Eileen Boris, Dana Cooper, Jennifer Fish, David R. Goodman, Mary Gene De Guzman, Jaira Harrington, Victoria Haskins, Dirk Hoerder, Elizabeth Hordge-Freeman, Majda Hrženjak, Elizabeth Hutchison, Dimitris Kalantzopoulos, Bela Kashyap, Marta Kindler, Anna Kordasiewicz, Ms Lokesh, Sabrina Marchetti, Robyn Pariser, Jessica Richter, Magaly Rodríguez García, Raffaella Sarti, Adéla Souralová, Yukari Takai, and Andrew Urban.
Book Synopsis The Story of Crass by : George Berger
Download or read book The Story of Crass written by George Berger and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In-depth interviews with the main movers in the punk rock movement--Crass members Penny Rimbaud, Gee Vaucher, and Steve Ignorant--detail the face of the revolution founded by these radical thinkers and artists. When punk ruled the waves, Crass waived the rules by putting out their own records, films, and magazines and setting up a series of situationist pranks that were dutifully covered by the world's press. Not just another iconoclastic band, Crass was a musical, social, and political phenomenon: commune dwellers that were rarely photographed and remained contemptuous of conventional pop stardom. As detailed in this history, their members explored and finally exhausted the possibilities of punk-led anarchy. This definitive biography of the band not only gives backstage access to their lives, philosophies, and the movement that followed, but also to never-before-seen photographs and rare dialogues.

Book Synopsis L'horlogerie à Genève by : Estelle Fallet
Download or read book L'horlogerie à Genève written by Estelle Fallet and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Les collections d’horlogerie, d’émaillerie, de bijouterie et de miniatures conservées au Musée d’art et d’histoire de Genève forment un corpus de 18 000 objets, dont quelque 1 500 pièces sont mises en valeur à la faveur de l’exposition L’Horlogerie à Genève, Magie des métiers, trésors d’or et d’émail du 15 décembre 2011 au 29 avril 2012. Ces objets d’art et d’histoire, garde-temps, bijoux, bibelots, objets de vertu et miniatures, sont les témoins privilégiés des métiers exercés dans la Fabrique genevoise. Du cabinotier (atelier d’horlogerie visible des passants), à la manufacture, le visiteur suivra l’évolution du travail des horlogers, graveurs, guillocheurs, ciseleurs, émailleurs ; il admirera les montres et les bijoux émaillés qui sont la spécialité de la Fabrique ; il appréciera les garde-temps décorés dans le goût des marchés orientaux ; il se penchera sur les détails des innovations techniques qui scandent l’histoire de l’horlogerie. Si Genève est au cœur de la présentation, les œuvres qui lui sont attachées sont placées dans un contexte international, qui rend compte des arts de la mesure du temps développés en Europe du XVIe au XXIe siècle, dont les collections du Musée d’art et d’histoire témoignent autant par leur qualité que par leur abondance.
Download or read book Euclid in China written by Engelfriet and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2021-11-01 with total page 502 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As part of the Jesuits' programme of introduction to European culture, in 1607 the Elements of Euclid (± 300 BC) were translated for the first time into Chinese. The translation of this epoch-making ancient Greek textbook on deductive geometry meant a confrontation of contemporary Chinese and European cultures. Part I of Peter Engelfriet's work deals mainly with the European and Chinese backgrounds, part II with linguistic and textual matters. In part III the manner in which learned Chinese tried to integrate this new knowledge into their own, Chinese, mathematical and cultural traditions comes to the fore. This fascinating work explores in depth and at various levels the circumstances and mechanisms that shaped the transmission of a key work of science from one language and cultural context onto another. Consequently it offers often surprising insights into the ways of intercultural exchange and misunderstandings.

Book Synopsis Horlogers et horlogères à Besançon by : Joelle Mauerhan
Download or read book Horlogers et horlogères à Besançon written by Joelle Mauerhan and published by Editions L'Harmattan. This book was released on 2018-09-21 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Les chroniques évoquant la création de la manufacture horlogère nationale de Besançon ont développé le mythe fondateur de Suisses, venus en pleine Révolution, apporter savoirs et expérience. Dans la deuxième moitié du XIXe siècle, les immigrés helvètes se mêlent à la population d'une ville reconnue capitale de l'horlogerie française. Mais les Bisontins, assis sur leur autorité et leurs traditions, se montrent hostiles à la nouveauté, à l'évolution de la montre, de la clientèle, des méthodes de production, laissant ainsi de nouveaux venus d'Alsace ou de Lorraine, les Lipmann en tête, prendre un pouvoir grandissant. On peut comprendre la forte envie à Besançon de voir revivre l'horlogerie.
