  • Credit Market and Economic Growth
    European Research Studies, Volume XVIII, Issue 3, 2015 Special Issue on “The Role of Clustering in Provision of Economic Growth” pp.103- 114 Historical Evolution of Economic Category “State Financial Reserves” Margarita Irizepova1 Abstract: The article views the issues of financial theory, related to historical development of scientific category “state financial reserves”. Using the principles of scientific research – unity of the logical and the historical, periodization and succession – the author determines stages of evolutional development of the studied category. As a result of the research, the author concludes that history of evolution of economic category “state financial reserves” is rooted in Ancient Rome, and nowadays this notion has not lost its actuality. This shows high effectiveness and universality of instrumentarium of state financial reserves and their applicability for various types of economic systems. Effective use of state financial reserves requires evaluation of long-term perspectives of influence of this tool on economic system and coordinates directions of the use of state financial reserves with priorities of state policy. Key Words: Historical Evolution, State Financial Reserves, Economic Category, Financial Theory JEL Classification : 1 Volgograd State University, Volgograd, Russia European Research Studies, Issue 3,2015 104 Special Issue on “The Role of Clustering in Provision of Economic Growth” M. Irizepova 1. Introduction Under the conditions of instability and crisis in the global economy, national governments strive for search and use of various means of preservation of stability of their national economic systems. One of the most popular tools for this is formation of state financial reserves in the period of economic growth, when there is excess of assets of state budget, which could be put into reserve without any damage to realization of planned state programs and under the condition of fulfillment of all state social responsibilities.

  • An Anthropology of Gender and Death in Corneille's Tragedies
    AN ANTHROPOLOGY OF GENDER AND DEATH IN CORNEILLE’S TRAGEDIES by MICHELLE LESLIE BROWN (Under the Direction of Francis Assaf) ABSTRACT This study presents an analysis of the relationship between gender and death in Corneille’s tragedies. He uses death to show spectators gender-specific types of behavior to either imitate or reject according to the patriarchal code of ethics. A character who does not conform to his or her gender role as dictated by seventeenth-century society will ultimately be killed, be forced to commit suicide or cause the death of others. Likewise, when murderous tyrants refrain from killing, they are transformed into legitimate rulers. Corneille’s representation of the dominance of masculine values does not vary greatly from that of his contemporaries or his predecessors. However, unlike the other dramatists, he portrays women in much stronger roles than they usually do and generally places much more emphasis on the impact of politics on the decisions that his heroes and heroines must make. He is also innovative in his use of conflict between politics, love, family obligations, personal desires, and even loyalty to Christian duty. Characters must decide how they are to prioritize these values, and their choices should reflect their conformity to their gender role and, for men, their political position, and for females, their marital status. While men and women should both prioritize Christian duty above all else, since only men were in control of politics and the defense of the state, they should value civic duty before filial duty, and both of these before love. Since women have no legal right to political power, they are expected to value domestic interests above political ones.

  • Inhaltsübersicht
    Johann Wolfgang Goethe • Faust Inhaltsübersicht Prolog im Himmel 1 – Die Wette Seite 10 Gott (Der Herr) und der Teufel (der in diesem Stück „Mephisto- pheles“ heißt) treffen sich im Himmel. Der Teufel findet die Welt schlecht. Gott stimmt nicht zu und nennt als Beispiel den Doktor Faust, der im Grunde ein guter Mensch sei. Der Teufel wettet, dass er den Doktor Faust zum Bösen verführen wird. Gott nimmt die Wette an. Nacht 2 – Faust beschwört den Erdgeist Seite 14 Faust denkt über den Sinn seines Lebens nach. Er hat zwar alles studiert, was möglich ist. Er ist sogar Doktor. Aber das, was die Welt im Innersten zusammenhält, hat er nicht heraus bekommen. Könnte ihm die Magie (Zauberei) helfen? – Tatsächlich gelingt es ihm, den Erdgeist zu beschwören. Doch Faust kann die schreckliche Erscheinung des Erdgeistes nicht ertragen. 2 Inhaltsübersicht 3 – Faust denkt an Selbstmord Seite 19 Faust ist tief enttäuscht, weil er den Erdgeist nicht halten konnte. Was für einen Sinn hat sein Leben noch? Er nimmt Gift aus dem Regal und will Selbstmord begehen. – Aber Glockenklang und Chorgesang kündigen das Osterfest an und halten ihn von seinem Vorhaben ab. Vor dem Tor 4 – Der Osterspaziergang Seite 22 Es ist ein schöner Ostermorgen. Vor den Stadttoren spa zieren die glücklichen Menschen, Bauern, Hand- werksburschen, Dienstmädchen, Schüler, Bürger, Bettler und Soldaten. Schließlich treten auch Faust und sein Gehilfe Wagner auf. Faust freut sich an dem bunten Treiben. Zum Schluss kommt ein schwarzer Pudel zu ihnen. Studierzimmer 5 – Des Pudels Kern Seite 28 Faust nimmt den Pudel mit nach Hause und möchte seine gelehrten Studien fortsetzen.

That is the form consistently used by Montchrestien, except in certain choruses, which present variations in line-length and rhyme-scheme. These I have attempted to reproduce. I give the name “Andromache” its common English pronunciation (four syllables, with primary stress on the second), although Montchrestien’s verse, while employing the same spelling, which approximates the Greek, anticipates the three-syllable pronunciation mandated by the later spelling “Andromaque” (as in the tragedy of Racine [1667]).

On the Confessional Uses and History of Witchcraft: Thomas Stapleton’s 1594 Witchcraft Oration1 The English Catholic exile Thomas Stapleton (1535–1598) has long been known to historians of early modern witchcraft and demonology. The early twentieth-century scholar Montague Summers, a self-professed Catholic priest and a demonologist of sorts, had adopted the final line of Stapleton’s witchcraft oration—‘heresy grows with magic, and magic grows with heresy’—as his personal motto.2 The oration and, in fact, the same line also made an appearance in Hugh Trevor-Roper’s well-known Witch-Craze pamphlet of 1967.3 Stapleton is also discussed in Stuart Clark’s seminal Thinking with Demons in a chapter which surveyed the differences between Protestant and Catholic witchcraft.4 The oration, which appears here for the first time in English translation, is indeed of especial importance to historians interested in the confessional dimension of the early modern witch-hunt.

    ANUARI DE FILOLOGIA. ANTIQVA ET MEDIAEVALIA (Anu.Filol.Antiq.Mediaeualia) 5/2015, pp. 107-108, ISSN: 2014-1386 Machielsen, J. (2015), Martin Delrio: Demonology and Scholarship in the Counter-Reformation, Oxford, OUP, London, British Academy La obra más reciente de Jan Machielsen podría considerarse la primera biografía contemporánea del jesuita Martín Del Río (o Delrío) (1551-1608), a quien se le conoce mayormente a través de su tratado sobre magia y brujería titulado Disquisitiones magicae (Lovaina: 1599-1600). No obstante, el trabajo de Machielsen sobre Delrío no es exclusivamente biográfico, sino que también excava generosamente dentro del contexto literario e histórico del jesuita; específicamente, ofreciendo una amplia mirada hacia la brujería y la demonología en Europa durante la época moderna. Aún más, Machielsen enfatiza que, presumiblemente, Delrío nunca mantuvo contacto directo con ningún(a) acusado(a) de brujería y que construyó su retórica a partir de diversas teorías. Así pues, Machielsen es crítico con la percepción que se tiene sobre Delrío; la de un hombre neurótico y profundamente misógino.1 Este trabajo es, a la vez, un intento para el jesuita a través de la descripción de ciertos aspectos de la vida de Delrío que a menudo son omitidos por otros historiadores. Por ejemplo, Machielsen ofrece una visión sobre del Delrío considerando su origen holandés y su crianza a manos de sus padres españoles, así como la influencia del sufrimiento infligido a su familia durante el conflicto bélico en los Países Bajos. Además, Machielsen provee ciertos datos curiosos que pueden ser de interés para traductores y filólogos, como aquel error que Delrío cometió en su Adversaria al confundir a Cicerón con Pestanus Vibonensis (Machielsen 2015:133).
