A cross-cultural history of international relations: book translations in the twentieth century

Cross-cultural history is concerned not so much with illuminating particular features that characterize a given culture, as with emphasizing reciprocal impacts and cross-fertilization among cultures. In the past, as in the present, translations have played an important cross cultural role in rendering intelligible the strange and the unknown. Every nation, region, or culture has played a dual role in this process, both as cultural producer and as recipient. My own research attempts to contribute to the history of translations during the twentieth century as a cross-cultural history of international relations. Cross-cultural historical investigation of translations has drawn attention to the changing features that both unite and differentiate cultural and scientific tastes of various peoples and nations. Common features include the striking growth in the total number of translations during the present century; the increasing interest in the cul tural achievements of the English-speaking world; the geographical extension of translations from and toward continents other than Europe; and changes in the subject matter of translations, with a shift to themes other than literature (such as sciences, arts, and sports). This study attempts to view the history of translations as a stellar constellation in which the creations of vanished worlds continue to sparkle, just as extinct stars go on casting their light on distant heavenly bodies in the universe. If we consider the development of civilizations in this fashion, we shall no longer think in terms of cultural dominance and subordination, or in terms of rising and falling civilizations; instead the longue duree of history will recall the movements of low tide and high tide.

Renal sodium handling in cirrhosis

Abstract In summary, it is apparent that the renal sodium retention in patients with advanced liver disease constitutes a complex pathophysiologic constellation with numerous and diverse causes. In this article, I have brieftly reviewed the clinical features and pathophysiology of renal sodium retention in liver disease. Based on these pathophysiologic considerations, I have proposed an approach to the therapy of this renal derangement.

The Effects of Family Constellation and Child Gender on Parental Use of Evaluative Feedback

Mothers and fathers of 43 middle-class families were observed individually interacting during a paper-folding task with either their only or middle child in order to assess parental use of evaluation and task-facilitative behaviors with preschoolers. Middle children were from 3-child families in which the older sibling was the same sex as the target child. Sibling spacing was greater than 36 months in 12 families and less than 36 months in 11 families. With total interaction, parental income, education, and age as control variables, analyses indicated that parental approvals, disapprovals, task facilitative feedback, and helping behaviors varied with parent gender, child gender, and family constellation. Children's task performance did not differ significantly among groups. It was concluded that gender effects on parental use of evaluation feedback in parent-child teaching interactions may be different for families with different types of family structure.

Developmental Change and Electoral Cleavage in France: Government and Opposition in the Fifth Republic

Le développement socio-économique et le clivage électoral dans la Cinquième République françaiseAprès avoir rappelé l'impact des récents changements socio-économiques sur l'alignement politique des masses dans les démocraties industrielles de l'Europe occidentale, les auteurs construisent deux indices à partir d'un grand nombre de données écologiques pour 87 départements français: un indice de développement (variable indépendante) et un indice de clivage électoral (variable dépendante), ce dernier comportant une dimension structurée et une dimension non structurée de la protestation électorate sous la Cinquième République. Divers modèles d'interaction entre les clivages sont explorés et certaines hypothèses reliant les deux variables vérifiées.

The Pattern of Phaenomena 367-385

I print the passage without a full stop until the last line, to avoid interrupting the unity of its structure:‘The stars of slight magnitude and slight brilliance between the Rudder and the Sea-monster, lying beneath the flanks of the grey Hare, are nameless in their course; they are not cast in a resemblance to the structure of any specific figure, like the numerous constellations that pass in ordered ranks along the same paths year after year, constellations that someone in a past generation observed and thought of calling all by names, after giving them definite shapes; he could not, of course, have named or identified all the stars taken individually, because they are too numerous all over the sky, many of them are alike in magnitude and in colour, and all of them have a circling movement; therefore it seemed best to him to make the stars into groups, so that different stars arranged in conjunction with each other could represent figures; and that is how the named constellations came into being, and no star-rising is a surprise nowadays; but while the stars in general are fixed in clear-cut figures when they appear, those beneath the hunted Hare are all very dim and nameless in their course.’
