Historical Elements Research Articles

Türk kültüründe renkler

Colors have different meanings in every culture. In Turkish cul-ture, colors have different meanings. Since these colors with different meanings are seen as a subject worthy of research in the scientific world, scientists such as Turks, Germans, Austrians and Hungarians have done many valuable studies on these colors. Studies have shown how colors are intertwined with culture. In addition, it has been determined that colors, shamans and shamanism provide an integrity. This determination can be easily observed in religious ceremonies or official ceremonies. In this ob-served study, mythological, socio-cultural, geographical and historical ele-ments were encountered. These elements, which were encountered, have easily brought us to the point we want to reach in our work. It has been observed how shaman and shamanism came from the old Turkish culture and how this point of belief is mixed with the Islamic belief today. In our study here, it has been revealed how colors affect Turkish culture and history.

Legal and Historical Elements of Latvia’s Restoration of Independence

Latvia claimed its continuity as a State after fifty years of unlawful occupation by the Soviet Union. International law contains several criteria for substantiating a claim for continuity of a State. Latvia attempted to ensure the continuity of the four elements of statehood and pre-occupation legal obligations both on the international and the national level.

Sustainable Development and Tourists' Satisfaction in Historical Districts: Influencing Factors and Features

Determining how to achieve sustainable development and protection of historical districts is a worthwhile research topic. As a vital way to update urban space, tourism development in historical districts is an effective tool for redistributing urban functions and increasing urban vitality. This paper takes the Insa-dong in South Korea as a case study for the evaluation of tourist satisfaction in historical districts, based on 550 questionnaires. The questionnaire contains 33 evaluation indicators, and the subjects′ subjective judgment and satisfaction with Insa-dong are measured in the form of the Likert scale. Using SPSS to analyze tourists' satisfaction with historical districts, this studyfinds that: (1) The tourist satisfaction evaluation of Insa-dong includes six dimensions in total: “Embodiment of historical elements”, “The blend of tradition and modernity”, “Industry distribution and type”, “Consumer demand”, “Street layout and function” and “Landscaping”. (2) “The blend of tradition and modernity” has the highest weight while “Industry distribution and type” has the lowest one in the analysis of factors influencing overall satisfaction. (3) The analysis of the common factor weights and the common factor satisfaction levels shows that “The blend of tradition and modernity” and “Street layout and function” are the parts that need to be improved. “Consumer demand” also has a lot of room for promotion. The research results will be beneficial for enhancing the tourist experiences of historical districts and they provide a theoretical basis and practical experience reference for effective protection and sustainable development of historical districts.

Mediating the Magic Kingdom: Instagram, Fantasy, and Identity

Disneyland is one of the most Instagrammed locations and its mediation reveals cultural changes related to place and identity. Using a grounded approach to analyze the posts of influential Instagram users who tag their posts at Disneyland, this study shows how place is mediated through new logics developed on social media. Instagram users favor fantasy elements of Disneyland, such as escapism and childhood nostalgia, over other historical elements of the parks and its midcentury U.S. American values. Disney has responded by synergistically integrating new media logics, as seen in the creation of vibrantly colored, limited-run food and merchandise. The intersection between Disneyland and Instagram shows how place is being transformed for the lenses of consumers seeking experiences, food, and merchandise in late capitalism.

THE METHODOLOGY TO SYSTEMATISE, PRESENT AND USE HISTORICAL CARTOGRAPHY: POTENTIALS AND LIMITS TO ANALYSE AND ENHANCE WIDESPREAD HISTORICAL CENTRES IN NORTHERN ITALY

Abstract. Researchers from diverse fields of study are developing methodologies for understanding historical cartography. Nonetheless, there is a lack of literature that explains the connection between the survey and the interactive use of historical cartography in preservation projects and urban planning. This study demonstrates the methods for the investigation of historical cartography to produce knowledge about the heritage of small widespread historical centres in northern Italy, which had a rich history, and for which many thematic maps were produced through time. The complexity of the area gives a fertile ground to collect, systematise and investigate historical sources. The methodology is developed to be flexible and adaptable to various widespread historical centres in the territory and it is divided into two parts: deconstructive and constructive approach. Whereas the former deals with the analysis of urban aspects on historical maps, the latter searches for the historical elements present nowadays. Combining those two methods in the Geographic Information Systems will produce a timeline and historical stratification of the transformation of cities. Once georeferenced and vectorised, historical maps are enriched with the information from written registers and other historical documents, as well as contemporary ones. The study aims to scrutinize and produce various categories of maps, to draw conclusions about the limits of the use of historical cartography and software used, and finally, to suggest how and where the future work could lead to the overall enhancement of heritage.

Training Pathways for Adult Learning Professionals in Higher Education: Case of Hungary and Serbia

The topic of the professionalization of adult education is receiving a great deal of attention worldwide. This is justified because the competencies among adult learning professionals have a significant impact on the effectiveness of adult learning. The professional preparedness of adult learning practitioners is therefore a basic condition for the high-quality realization of the adult learning process. Nevertheless, the training system for adult learning professionals varies greatly from country to country. Professionals in adult education are often andragogically unskilled individuals, and national education policy also plays a key role in this. A comparative approach has been used in this study to examine the historical development and content elements of university-level andragogy programs in Hungary and Serbia. The findings show that although Hungary and Serbia are neighbors, the development of adult education as a profession has followed completely different trends in the two countries.

Islam Rimba: Islamic philosophy and local culture engagement in Sumatera

This research aims to reveal the historical roots and elements of the background for the formation of the Orang Rimba’s religion. This study is based on field research with a descriptive approach of religious phenomenon. The research derives some conclusions: (1) the Orang Rimba is monotheist, that is, they are not adherents to dynamism, polytheism, or animism as it has been understood. (2) The history of the Orang Rimba’s religion is affected by two elements; namely, Rimba culture and Islamic culture. (3) Evidence suggests that Islam is one element of Orang Rimba’s religion as the following: (a) Mantra of Getting Honey, such as Basmallah, Allah, Istighfar, Muhammad and Ya Karim; (b) Orang Rimba Faith in God, the Prophet Muhammad, the Angel and Doomsday; (c) the values of the ceremony of Death: Ratib Laa Ilaha Illallah; and (d) the values of the ceremony Berdekir. (4) It has proved the existence of a new theory about the spread of Islam in the Suku Anak Dalam community since the 14th century and at the same time undermined the old theory of the Orang Rimba’s religion that has been misunderstood over the years.Contribution: Researchers can use this new theory’s findings as reference material on the Orang Rimba’s religion (Suku Anak Dalam). They can also use this theory to compare other views about the Orang Rimba’s religion.

Historical, contemporary, and future perspectives on a coupled social–ecological system in a changing world: Canada’s historic Rideau Canal

Anthropogenic waterways and canal systems have been part of the cultural and natural landscape for thousands for years. As of the late 20th century, more than 63 000 km of canals exist worldwide as transport routes for navigation, many with barriers (e.g., locks, dams) that fragment the system and decrease connectivity. Fragmentation alone can have negative implications for freshwater biodiversity; by isolating populations and communities, other human-mediated disturbances associated with canals like poor water quality and invasive species can exacerbate these negative effects. As such, the capacity of these interconnected freshwater systems to support biodiversity is continuously degrading at a global level. One critical, highly complex issue that unites canals worldwide is the challenge of governing these systems in a holistic, unified way to both protect biodiversity and preserve historical elements. Managing historic canals involves multiple objectives across many agencies and stakeholders, often with different or conflicting objectives. Here, we use the Rideau Canal, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and National Historic Site of Canada, as a case study to demonstrate the importance of considering canals as social–ecological systems for effective and efficient governance. Historic canals are integrated systems of both humans (social) and the environment (ecological), linked by mutual feedbacks and coevolution, and must be managed as such to achieve conservation goals while maintaining commemorative integrity. We discuss the history of the Rideau Canal and its current governance, biodiversity in the waterway, different threats and issues (user conflicts, aquatic pollution, shoreline development, water management, species at risk, and invasive species), and conclude by outlining ways to address the challenges of managing it as a coupled social–ecological system. We present different research needs and opportunities that would enable better management, though above all, we propose a shift from the current governance structure — which at best can be considered “patchwork” — to a coordinated, multi-scalar and multi-stakeholder governance regime such that the Rideau Canal can be maintained for its historical integrity without compromising biodiversity conservation. Given that canals are now pervasive worldwide, this article is not only topical to the Rideau Canal, but also to other waterways in Canada and beyond.

FORMATION OF GRAMMATICAL COMPETENCE OF FUTURE PRIMARY SCHOOL TEACHERS BY MEANS OF INTERESTING LINGUISTICS

The questions of formation of grammatical competence as a component of an individual’s linguistic competence have been considered, the essence of the definition of “grammatical competence” has been analyzed and author’s comprehension of this notion has been suggested. The structural components of grammatical competence (grammatical knowledge, grammatical skills and abilities and grammatical awareness) have been singled out. It has been emphasized that the study of grammatical system of a language requires logical operations, such as scientific information analysis, ability to compare, relate and summarize the linguistic facts and deduce certain regularities. The possibilities of the subject “Formation of primary school students’ language personality by means of interesting Linguistics” in the process of formation of students’ grammatical competence in the context of linguistic subjects cycle have been outlined. Special attention has been paid to the application of interesting Linguistics elements while teaching students notional and categorical apparatus. It has been suggested to take into account the interpretation of linguistic terms by linguists, consider and correspond the modern ones with their equivalents in the old Grammar books. It has been proved that the definition of the term “Grammar” has been narrowed down diachronically. There have been outlined the other methods and techniques applied to form student’s grammatical competence (revealing linguistic notions etymology, using linguistic aphorisms, Comparative Historical Linguistics elements, didactic poetry, linguistic fairytales, entertaining tasks, exercises, jokes, learning projects) that contribute to enlargement of future teachers’ scientific perspective and their professional level growth.

The Colonial Side of Advertising Self-Regulation: Imperialist Consumerism in Latin America

The purpose of this paper is to analyze, through a decolonial perspective and using a historical approach, the geopolitical and colonial elements present in the origins of the Advertising Self-Regulation System (ASRS), created by the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC), its internalization, promoted by the International Advertising Association (IAA), and its imposition in Latin America. To achieve this, the study focuses on discussing the creation of ASRS and the origins of its creator, ICC; the internalization of ASRS and the origins of its main sponsor, IAA; the influence of ASRS in the context of the Brazilian consumerist movement. Each event was studied considering the relations between the phenomena under analysis and the three colonialities theory. Therefore, each event was related to a category, which was composed of subcategories that discussed each of the three colonialities). By adopting the decolonial perspective, it was possible to better understand how the system was used geopolitically to universalize Eurocentric concepts of consumerism.

Architetture per la cultura. Ridefinire la montagna contemporanea

Alpine architecture for culture seems to best represent the evolution over time of the very concept of alpine architecture. By their actual nature, these buildings are configured not only as meeting spaces for the inhabitants but also – and above all – as means of attraction for visitors from the cities, towards which these objects seem to assume the role of real business cards. Thanks to the diffusion of virtuous reference models of contemporary architecture from all over the Alps, operated starting from 1992 by the Neues Bauen in den Alpen / Alpine Contemporary Architecture award, in recent decades Alpine architecture has begun to become an increasingly debated topic. Alpine architecture for culture, therefore, seems to play a particularly significant role in the construction of a new image on the contemporary Alps, and the buildings dedicated to its diffusion seem to succeed especially when they abandon the tourist imaginaries on the traditional and the typical Alpine, often distorted and stereotyped, to embrace a vision that undertakes a reinterpretation of local historical elements in the current context. Proposing cultural alpine buildings which look towards contemporaneity can therefore represent a great contribution in the diffusion of the mountain as a container of current events, as well as heritage and tradition. For these reasons, cultural architectures located in the mountains should also look to the present in their forms. Within this issue, are presented three architectures located in France, and three Italian projects, which are located in Priero, in Piedmont, and Estoul and Bard in the Aosta Valley.

ALGUMAS INCURSÕES ENTRE O HISTÓRICO E O MARAVILHOSO EM A LÁGRIMA DE UM CAETÉ

In this article, we intend to understand certain literary and historical elements that permeate the work A Lágrima de Um Caeté (1849), by Nísia Floresta, and, for this purpose, we will dialogue with Candido (1985), Margutti (2019), Vasconcelos and Ramalho (2007), Duarte (1999) and Quijano (2005). Our main objective is to follow some paths that show how the book has both traces of a critical Indianism and elements that go back to epic texts for recovering the collective heroism, the historical and the wonderful plan, but at no time will we put the author's narrative lyricism in a prefixed and/or crystallized pattern, as this does not match the directions of the text that we will look at. Furthermore, we will also touch on the issue of decoloniality, as we will enter an environment of acculturation and destruction of indigenous culture and the text under study ends up becoming a poetry of resistance.

Le sentiment ethnique coréen, han恨, et sa fonction de guérison psychosociale dans le contexte historique de l’Asie de l’Est du XVIIe siècle

"Ethnic sentiment sheds light on a peculiarity of the Korean soul as a collective imagination, which is often explained through the word han (恨). To understand one of its historical elements, the biographical account of the Korean military Kim Yŏngchŏl interests us: the suffering of the character is linked to the historical context of East Asia of the 17th century and his feelings about the meaning of the word han are different from those of Emperor Nurhachi."

A tribute to the sea. A contribution to the studies on marine comositions by Adam Świerzyński.

One of the composers who devoted a substantial part of their creative output to the Baltic Sea and Kashubia is Adam Świerzyński – he wrote numerous marine-themed pieces for varied performance groups. These compositions are not wide-known and some of them even get forgotten. Nevertheless, they are worth looking into due to their artistic value. Świerzyński’s works are eclectic in their style as in terms of their harmonic aspect they refer to Neo- Romanticism or aim towards modernist sounds. The composer’s instrumental lyric, which is based on inspirations by the nature of the sea as well as by historical events and folk elements, is an interesting area in the Polish 20th century literature. The present article relates to two compositions for viola and piano, i.e., Sea Impressions and Elegy, as well as viola transcriptions of Kashubian Fantasy and Lamento, Arend Dickmann in memoriam.

Three hundred years of geodiversity in the Historic Center of the Gold City, Cuiabá, Brazil

Gold was abundant in the city of Cuiaba and was the starting point for is emergence and development. Bandeirantes (explorers/fortune hunters during the colonial period), mostly coming from Sao Paulo, made their expeditions into inland Brazil firstly to capture and enslave natives and, in this process, discovered important alluvial deposits associated with the rivers in the region. Today, this precious metal is still present and being prospected in the Baixada Cuiabana region, and is found preserved (impregnated and visible) in the plaster of the walls of the Church of Nossa Senhora do Rosario e Sao Benedito, for example. Many buildings in the central areas were built and adorned with ex situ geological material such as ironstone and blocks of milky quartz, and some of these buildings are identified in this work as an example of the use of geodiversity as a constructive and historical element. Ironstone is described as a solid, reddish sedimentary rock resulting from a chemical alteration process (lateritization), and the quartz blocks come from gold veins that cut the rocks of the Cuiaba Group, in the Baixada Cuiabana region. In addition to these materials that are present in some locations and represent geodiversity elements, an in situ example of geodiversity is described. It is an exposed geological fault that stands out in the landscape, located in an aligned hill where historic constructions were built. Because it is of unique geoscientific interest and preserved within the central urban boundary of the city of Cuiaba, this place can be considered the first geosite, which is described in the present work.

Krishna Bharadwaj on the Role of Expectations in Economic Theory

In this article, I discuss the approach favoured by Bharadwaj, in the tradition of classical political economy and of Sraffa, where the focus is on those factors that are observed as opposed to the subjective factors that are neither observable nor measurable. Unlike neoclassical theory, with this approach, there is no room for concepts such as ‘utility’ and the like; insofar as ‘expectations’ are conceived as subjective, non-observable entities, they are not attributed with an explanatory role in the theory of prices and distribution. Moreover, since expectation formation is seen as the effect rather than cause of behaviour, the focus shifts to those social, historical and contingent elements that seem to have a better explanatory force. In this approach, what matters is the persistence of forces leading the system to tend, in the long period, towards a position of rest. JEL Codes: B2, B31

A Literature Approach of The Story in the Qur'an (Study About Muhammad Ahmad Khalafullah’s Interpretation on the Story of Ashab Al-Kahf )

Al-manhaj al-adabi that is used by Khalafullah implies that the stories in the Qur'an not only is purely historical data, but it is also a narrative that could be included in literature that is loaded with the message contained in it. This literary method, according to him, is very appropriate to be used as a knife of analysis in uncovering the stories of the Qur'an. He said that the mistakes of the commentators so far lie in the methods that they use. They have involuntarily forgotten knowing the sociological and religious aspects of the message in the stories of the Qur’an. In his research, he emphasizes the psychological aspect, according to him, a story has a psychological impact due to it can explain the meaning of universal gloom and touch in the soul of his audience.
 In the story of Ashab al-Kahf Khalafullah proves that the stories in the Qur’an are not merely historical data. Because this story historical elements such as characters, places and times tend to be eliminated. The Qur'an does not clearly state the number of young Ashab al-Kahf and the time they lived in the cave. The narrative of the story of Ashab al-Kahf which is meant to prove Muhammad's apostolate and as an answer to some of the questions of the polytheists of Mecca to Muhammad when testing the truth of his apostleship and teachings. Such narrative has a psychological impact on the listeners so that it can reveal the messages stored in it.

Why is the ‘counter-tradition’ room setting harmonious for an ancient village of China? An analysis based on landsenses ecology

ABSTRACT Based on the theory of landsenses ecology, this paper makes a detailed analysis of the architecture pattern of ‘The House of Hundred Rooms’(HHR) in the East Dragon Village, a traditional ancient Chinese village, so as to provide a reference for the research on reasonable land use and sustainable development in modern times. By the principle of the vein-compliance in orientation and bearing in landsense creation, the paper analyses the causes of the north-facing feature and the ‘counter-tradition’ room setting feature lie in the architectural pattern of HHR, revealing that people’s psychological perceptions of orientation and bearing is distinct from the physical one. It points out these features of this building complex are the results of man’s active adaptation to nature on the basis of respecting nature, which together manages to form a process of constructing the harmonious relationship between man and nature during land use. By the principle of the multiscale (trans-scale or cross-scale) spatiotemporal combination in landsense creation, the paper continues to analyze on the pattern of HHR and finds that it has both the function of cultural inheritance and the innovation of adaptation to new environment, which can promote the protection of historical and cultural elements during the course of development, and bring reference for the realization of sustainable development from the perspective of contemporary historical and cultural heritage protection.

LITERATURE AND THE HOLOCAUST: INVESTIGATING THE VALUE OF A LITERARY HOLOCAUST EDUCATION

The Holocaust is one of the most researched and documented genocides in history, and yet it remains an inconceivable tragedy, for it is challenging to comprehend the mass killings, inhumane conditions, and sheer hatred that the European Jews faced during World War II. Literature has long been used as an educational tool about the realities of life. In contrast to history textbooks, literature allows readers to dive into the psyche of those persecuted; adheres to the historical events, while permitting artistic exploration of personal narratives; and creates a space where the unspeakable experiences and dehumanization during the Holocaust can be spoken, shared, and contended with. The literary reading process entails a dialogue between the reader and the narrative, thus generating an inquiry-based education on the Holocaust. Holocaust literature is sustained by survivors’ stories of resilience. Although these tales of resilience often do not have traditionally happy endings, they depict that people must contend with their past suffering and offer an educational tool to transmit testimony in the hopes of inspiring resilience in others. Holocaust literature provides a platform to meaningfully communicate personal narratives, which demystifies the tragedy as an isolated incident, educates readers on the historical realities of the Holocaust, and places responsibility on everyone to resist indifference. Through exploration of the artistic forms and historical elements of selected works of Holocaust literature, this paper will demonstrate that literature is a valuable tool in educating on the Holocaust and has merit as an integral part of school curricula.
