Semeadura dos Cravos: intelectuais expatriados na resistência ao salazarismo

In this article we deal with the political resistance of intelectual Portugueses who migrated to the city of São Paulo in the 1950s. The vast majority of these intellectuals, were persecuted for their contrary ideas to the Salazarist regime in Portugal. Such intellectuals left their homeland to avoid being persecuted and arrested by the PIDE. In São Paulo city, they began to express themselves through academic productions, conferences, publications of books, articles and magazines; later they created the newspapers Portugal Democrático and Portugal Livre, the latter being the result of dissent from the former. These intellectuals formed a platoon of resistance to the Portuguese dictatorial regime, spreading ideas favorable to freedom of expression in Portugal and the decolonization of Portuguese Africa, which consequently weakened the Portuguese dictatorial system. The ideas of these intellectuals added to the international situation and the transformations through which spans this historical period.

Wartime segmentation: Class, gender, and nation in the marketing of consumers, Sweden 1939–1945

In line with recent research that regards the Second World War as a “defining moment” rather than a temporary disruption to the development of consumer societies, this paper explores how consumers were imagined in nonbelligerent Sweden. The main empirical source material consists of business-to-business advertisements from newspaper and magazine publishers aimed at potential advertisers. There, publishers portrayed their readers as suitable consumers, and, given that the division of the press constituted the main infrastructure for reaching different consumer groups, this is interpreted as a key to understanding market segmentation processes. The findings show how geographical, demographic, and psychological factors were considered in optimizing advertising influence and reaching classed and gendered target audiences. Although the segmentation process consolidated during the war, focusing on stable, large consumer groups, the imagined consumer also underwent fundamental changes, combating anxiety and despair through dreams of both future and present patriotic consumption.

Духовна просвіта та імперські наративи: українська минувшина у дзеркалі єпархіальних журналів другої половини ХІХ ст.

The purpose of the article is to analyze the role of Orthodox spiritual journals of the second half of the 19th century in the spread of imperial narratives about the history of Ukraine. The research is aimed at determining the mutual influence of the publications of ecclesiastical diocesan publications with the state ideology, as well as analyzing the connection of these publications with the modern propaganda of the Kremlin and the Russian Orthodox Church against Ukraine. The methodological principles. Based on the analysis of historical literature and the source base, the article’s author used the methods of historical analysis and synthesis to examine the imperial narratives in the Orthodox spiritual journals of the period under study. The research also uses the comparative method and the method of systematic analysis to study the topics of publications of magazines of individual dioceses, as well as to determine the influence of the views of pre-revolutionary Orthodox publicists on the modern narratives of the Russian Orthodox Church regarding Ukraine. The scientific novelty of this topic is based on an attempt to analyze the variability of the thematic spectrum of historical publications issued in various diocesan journals and on revealing views on interfaith relations in the historical retrospective of Orthodox authors and determining the influence of these views on the beliefs of the hierarchs of the modern Russian Orthodox Church. Conclusions. The authors analyzed the topics of historical publications issued in the unofficial part of diocesan journals in the territory of the Russian Ukraine and the Cholm-Warsaw diocese. Interrelationships and regional differences of imperial narratives in Orthodox diocesan journals were traced. The role of diocesan information in relaying these narratives, as well as their reflection in modern Kremlin propaganda against Ukraine, is highlighted. It is asserted that the diocesan Orthodox publishing houses of the second half of the 19th century played an important role in forming the Russian imperial vision of the past of Ukrainian lands. The study revealed their role in the spread of numerous regional variants of imperial propaganda. The indirect influence of these narratives on Ukrainian national historiography is noted, and the need to distance themselves from them for a better study of the past and opposition to Russian propaganda is specified.

Новые направления актуализации творчества сибирских авторов конца XIX — начала XX века: междисциплинарный аспект

The article examines the problems of demand for works of pre-revolutionary regional authors published on the pages of local periodicals. A review of book series published by both Soviet and modern publishing houses indicates that the work of regional writers, including Siberian ones, is constantly in the attention of publishers. However, not all authors whose works may arouse the interest of readers are still known today. This is due to the fact that most of the texts of local literary talents were not published as separate publications: they are still part of the corpus of newspaper and magazine publications. The purpose of the article is formulated as identifying new directions for updating the work of Siberian pre-revolutionary authors and clarifying the prospects for further activity in reprinting works of interest to the modern reader. The interdisciplinary nature of the research is emphasized, since it is carried out at the intersection of literary studies, journalism, the history of regional press and publishing. The work raises the question of the quality and aesthetic significance of texts published in periodicals, and identifies the circle of authors whose texts may be of interest to the modern reader. The author offers various options for adapting the material in accordance with the reading practices of young people. The conclusions emphasize that the identified new directions for updating the creativity of Siberian pre-revolutionary authors make it possible to combine the efforts of researchers from different scientific fields. The combination of traditional “paper” and digital formats for presenting literary texts will help introduce modern readers to the works of undeservedly forgotten pre-revolutionary writers.

Dziedzictwo Juliana Ochorowicza (1850-1917) na Śląsku Cieszyńskim

<p>The little known legacy of Julian Ochorowicz in Cieszyn Silesia is discussed in this article. This is the region where the controversial philosopher and psychologist spent several years. The scientist conducted his research on mediumists in Wisła, where he engaged in social and scientific activities and gathered a large collection of books. The author discusses the fate of his material legacy and the endeavours of the heirs of his scientific theories. Julian Ochorowicz’s scientific achievements and thought were propagated by the people he had met personally, such as Jan Pilch and Jan Wantuła or by those associated with the esoteric centre that developed in Wisla in the interwar years (Andrzej Podżorski, Józef Chobot, Jan Hadyna). As it turns out, Julian Ochorowicz had a significant influence on teachers of folk schools who were also publishers of magazines and esoteric books in the multi-denominational Cieszyn Silesia.</p>

Smokescreens and Smear Campaigns: The Dutch Communist Party in Times of Crisis

This article seeks to establish how different crises in the Eastern Bloc affected the political standpoints of the Communist Party of the Netherlands, Communistische Partij Nederland (CPN), through an analysis of publications in affiliated party magazines between 1953 and 1981. This analysis is conducted within a framework consisting of party change theories and the literature about Eurocommunism as a Europe-wide phenomenon. The analysis indicates that the CPN went from supporting military interventions in Germany, Poznan, and Hungary to condemning them in Czechoslovakia, initially while maintaining ideological distance from political opponents in the Netherlands. This changed in 1981, when the CPN seemingly without restraint joined the mainstream political parties in condemning the introduction of martial law in Poland and the Socialistische Partij (SP), the Socialist Party of the Netherlands, took over the CPN’s position as a political outsider. This indicated a shift in the party’s stance from a niche to a mainstream positioning against Moscow.

Crucibles of Craft: Home Workshops and Leisurely Striving in Twentieth-Century U.S. Woodworking Magazines.

With more leisure time in the early to mid-twentieth century, more people in industrialized countries took up hobbies. One hobby-woodworking-became a favorite among men, especially homeowners. Beyond the familiar "do-it-yourselfers" there was an audience eager to learn about woodworking, and magazine publishers encouraged them to acquire new skills and home machinery. American publishers led the way, but workshop converts in English-speaking countries like Canada and the United Kingdom got the magazines and the message. The promise of creative leisure at home did not democratize the hobby. Monthly features and awards praising accomplished amateurs did not challenge social and economic norms but defined leisure success in conventional terms. Those with the income and space to maintain a hobby served as models for others whose circumstances were less ideal. Through its flagship publication, a machine manufacturer often acquiesced to the industrial-era pressures that hobbies sought to alleviate.

ТИПОЛОГИЧЕСКАЯ МОДЕЛЬ ИСЛАМСКОЙ ПРЕССЫ В РОССИИ РУБЕЖА XIX–XX ВЕКОВ

The article discusses and summarizes the first movements in the formation of the Islamic press in the Russian state and the Russian Empire, as well as the first regular periodicals in the first post-revolutionary decades. Examples of the main printing characteristics, layout and thematic diversity are given. Newspapers and magazines of confessional content and orientation, published both by private individuals and organizations, and by spiritual administrations, were reviewed and analyzed. Archival data of the Institute of the Tatar Encyclopedia, which are in the public domain, were used. In the course of the study, methods of empirical research (observation and comparison) were used, as well as methods of theoretical research (analysis, synthesis, generalization, etc.) The study showed that newspapers and magazines on religious subjects largely structurally fit into the typical characteristics of socio-political and other secular publications of that period, aimed at the Muslim sections of the country’s population.

And the distribution and publication of such newspapers and magazines took place both in regions with a homogeneous and traditionally diverse national composition of the population.

독립잡지의 개념 규정 및 유형화 연구

This study aims to define and categorize the concept of independent magazines in detail. To this end, in-depth interviews were conducted with independent magazine publishers, and 300 cases of independent magazines that were in currently circulation or closed were analyzed. First, the research results cannot single-concept independent magazines with complex characteristics, but the concept of independent magazines can be explained cross-sectionally by subject, publisher type, publishing cycle, content content, production method, advertisement, circulation, distribution method, and magazine edition. Second, the types of independent magazines can be largely divided into publishers and topics. The publisher could be categorized into one person, group, minority group, magazine, publication, and complex, and the subject type could be subdivided into total class, art, literature, photography, design, illustration, cartoon, lifestyle, social culture, and subculture. Finally, it was revealed that independent magazine publishers are publishing magazines in a complex trend.

“In an interesting and little-known land…”: Middle East everyday life in S. Kondurushkin’s notebooks

S. Kondurushkin’s notebooks are an important but little-known part of his literary heritage. They are crucial for understanding his creative laboratory and the most important documents of Russian literary history of the 1900–1910s. This article introduces the materials of Kondurushkin’s notebooks, relating to the time of his stay in the Middle East, into scientific circulation. Special attention is paid to Kondurushkin’s notebooks from the early 1900s. At that time, he was a teacher and later an inspector assistant of Arab schools of the Imperial Orthodox Palestinian Society in Syria. In the notebooks, he records details of everyday life in the Arab East, anecdotal incidents and his work with various sources, including Arabic folklore. The essential historical and literary part of the notebooks are the sketches and fragments of Kondurushkin’s works, which he prepared for publication in Russian magazines and newspapers, as well as the details of his correspondence with the editors. Our analysis shows how the realities of Middle Eastern daily life become a tool for learning one’s own ethnicity, for heightening its sense in an alien cultural environment. Materials of Kondurushkin’s notebooks make it possible to clearly see how the “other culture” is perceived and reproduced by a person who finds himself in the Middle East for the first time and is interested in understanding the new land and its people. The attitude of the young author is note-worthy, demonstrating his maximum openness to all forms of manifestation of “otherness”, his readiness not only to understand, but also to accept it. For the first time, the article introduces materials from Kondurushkin’s notebooks, relating to the time of his stay in the Middle East, into scientific discourse.

Renewable energy sources as a way to prevent climate warming in Poland

The discussion on renewable energy sources, especially wind and solar energy, conducted in Poland reveals diverse positions among representatives of science, business, local government, and government. It is generally accepted that renewable energy sources are an important factor in limiting global warming. However, it is also emphasised that this energy absorbs high costs related to, e.g. the acquisition of rare metals used in the production of wind turbines, with the disposal of used parts. The article aims to present the opinions of representatives of science, economic practice, and authorities as an expression of behaviour toward the problem of climate warming and renewable energy. An example of expressed opinions is the discussion in the public space, which is created by publications in magazines and non-serial literature. As a result of using the method of analysis of secondary materials, the article shows the diversity of views on the subject under study. Opposing views on the causes of global warming have found that wind energy can limit global warming, but it can also cause damage to the economy, landscape, and human health. Wind energy development is determined by legal, organisational, economic, and technological obstacles that are difficult to overcome in Poland. However, the need to develop renewable energy, including wind and solar energy, is supported by 85% of Polish society.

Трудовые отношения и конфликты на концессионных предприятиях лесной промышленности Архангельской губернии в 1920-е годы

This article dwells on the labour relations at the timber enterprises of the Arkhangelsk Province granted by the Soviet government as a concession to foreign entrepreneurs in the 1920s. The main sources include archival (concession contracts and reports, results of inspections of concessionary enterprises by the authorities, shorthand reports of meetings of Soviet party and trade union organizations, materials of factory rates commissions and investigative and judicial authorities), as well as published sources, primarily, contemporary (publications in newspapers and magazines). Emphasis is placed on the authorities’ attitude to labour conflicts. Timber enterprise concessions were of great international importance to the central government and economic importance to the local authorities; therefore, unlike at other concessionary enterprises, the authorities often supported the “capitalists”. The concessionaires, in their turn, being interested in attracting skilled workers to their enterprises and seeking to normalize relations with the population and the authorities on the territory designated for forest exploitation, were accommodating the employees by spending substantial funds to build housing as well as social and cultural facilities in the factory settlements. Labour relations and conflicts are examined in the article using the example of four personnel categories: skilled workers; labourers at the sawmills; peasants engaged in logging and delivering timber to the factories (loggers and rafters, united in artels); administrative and clerical employees. In addition, a conclusion is made about the specificity of labour conflicts caused by the post-revolutionary social expectations of the population.

Japanese Magazine Articles on Lifestyle Factors Associated with Fertility: A Content Analysis

Knowledge of the contributing factors of infertility is essential to optimizing the reproductive health of the population. Magazines are a major source of informational health messages; this study quantitatively and inductively examined the information in Japanese fertility-related magazine articles on modifiable lifestyle and risk factors associated with fertility. We conducted a content analysis in two major fertility-related magazines published between 2014 and 2020 that individuals attempting to conceive were likely to read. We also identified evidence-based lifestyle factors associated with reduced fertility after reviewing the scientific literature. In total, 76 lifestyle factors were mentioned in the magazine articles. A total of 9 of these 10 evidence-based lifestyle risk factors were among the 20 factors most frequently mentioned. Thus, the evidence-based lifestyle factors were well-discussed, but the articles focused heavily on nutritional factors. Health check-ups were not covered as extensively as nutrition and diet, although physical examination can uncover physiological causes of infertility. Some lifestyle factors in the articles had not been sufficiently scientifically examined. Too many recommendations were given in the magazine articles. This may induce a feeling of being overwhelmed in readers. The publishers of magazines should provide balanced information, consider prioritizing lifestyle factors by conclusive scientific evidence, and disseminate accurate information.

근대 초기 출판 매체의 지역 확산과 공론·문화장의 형성

In the early modern era, the spread of modern culture in Korea began with modern newspapers and publications in the capital Hanseong, using Busan and Incheon as ports of call. Since Japan occupied the Korean Empire in 1910, the spread of modern publishing media has been mainly carried out by Japanese forces. In addition to the newspapers of Gyeongseong published by the Japanese, Japanese newspapers were distributed nationwide in each region of the country. Magazines, a modern publishing medium, were also spread by the Japanese. After the March 1st Independence Movement in 1919, as the Japanese switched to cultural rule, the publication of newspapers, magazines, and books by Koreans increased rapidly. As a result, publications published by Koreans were distributed and distributed through various publishing infrastructures in each region of the country. Each region of the country has formed its own public sphere and cultural sphere.

AHMADIYAH (Analisis Kritis Terhadap Teologi dan Pemikirannya)

The purpose of this study is to discuss critical analysis of Ahmadiyya theology and thought using literature. The purpose of this writing is to find out about the history of the birth of Ahmadiyah, the life history of Mirza Gulam Ahmad, the understanding of Ahmadiyya which is considered controversial and the development of Ahmadiyya in Indonesia. The results of this paper show that Ahmadiyya emerged in the 19th century when Muslims were experiencing a setback. Ahmadiyah was founded by Mirza Gulam Ahmad who is considered a messenger of Allah SWT, and has even proclaimed himself the promised Messiah and al-Mahdi. Ahmadiyah is divided into two, namely Ahmadiyah Qadian and Ahmadiyah Lahore. Mirza Gulam Ahmad's thoughts are considered heretical by some people, because many of his thoughts are contrary to the values of Islamic teachings. The development of Ahmadiyya in Indonesia started with the establishment of Qadian schools for young people. In addition, its development is also through books and magazine publications originating from abroad.

Art, artifice, and eroticized infantilization: Imagining Japanese femininities in the Weimar Republic in Fritz Lang's Harakiri (1919) and Kapitän Mertens's “Kio, die lasterhafte Kirschblüte” (1924)

AbstractThis article focuses on the ways in which a Japan‐specific Orientalism regarding Japanese femininities establishes itself in Weimar Germany's popular culture. In this period of German democratization in which we observe Weimar women's social, sexual, and political liberation, I propose that popular culture texts such as Fritz Lang's film Harakiri (1919) and Kapitän Mertens's magazine publication “Kio, die lasterhafte Kirschblüte” (1924) created an alternative fantasy engaging with contemporary anxieties and dreams. I read the depiction of Japanese femininities as a mediation of predominantly heterosexual male fears about the liberation movement of modern Weimar women as circulated in mass media. In developing this reading, I observe a simultaneity of three different imagined Japanese femininities: aestheticized artificialization/reification, eroticization, and infantilization. I argue that the narrative construction of such ultimately subservient exotic, doll‐like figures is diametrically opposed to the widely studied New Woman of Weimar and thus warrants further inquiry.
