It also proposes some considerations of the Diwan schools network’s policy, which draws its inspiration from a regionalist conception of the minority languages’ promotion and on the significance of the opening of a Diwan school in Paris.

  • The Irish Tradition of the Three Good Brothers Charm Revisited1
    ‘As I went up the hill of Mount Olive’ The Irish Tradition of the Three Good Brothers Charm Revisited1 Ilona Tuomi Introduction Throughout history, people have used a variety of recourses to battle everyday illnesses such as fevers, headaches, toothaches, bleeding and sprains, as well as minor ailments including curing hiccups or soothing a nettle sting. One such healing technique is the use of charms (orthaí in modern Irish, sg. ortha).2 Here, I follow the definition used by current charm scholars such as Jonathan Roper, who defines a charm to be ‘a traditional form of words thought to have a direct effect in the world, usually of a protecting, healing kind’. In order for a charm to work, it usually needs to be performed by a ‘legitimate’ person who often uses special accompanying actions and accessories (Roper 2005, 15). This article will focus on the Irish tradition of one of the best-known wound charms in Europe, called Tres Boni Fratres, or the Three Good Brothers.3 This is a very popular charm to stop bleeding, and has been documented in written and spoken sources in various languages across the European continent from the 1 This article is based on two separate papers I have given on the topic of the Three Good Brothers charm: at the 15th International Congress of Celtic Studies, University of Glasgow, 13-17 July 2015; and at the 9th Conference of the International Committee for Charms, Charmers and Charming, International Society for Folk Narrative Research, 6-8 May 2016, University College Cork. I would like to express my gratitude for all the comments that helped me to improve my arguments.

  • NEOLITHIC IRELAND and BRITAIN (Part 1)
    NEOLITHIC IRELAND AND BRITAIN (Part 1) By Mike McPhee [Text of an address to the Sydney Unitarian Church on 21 February 2021.] When I chose this title, all that ‘Neolithic’ meant to me was the New Stone Age – and all I knew about that was that it was a period when the most advanced stone tools were developed and when the megalithic structures you’ll be seeing today were constructed. However, it turns out that there is much more to the Stone Ages – just looking at Europe, they were: 1. the Paleolithic Era (Old Stone Age) from 1.6 million years ago to 15,000 years ago 2. the Mesolithic Era from 15,000 to 5000 years ago; and 3. the Neolithic Era from 7000 to 1700 BCE (The dates are necessarily approximate and there is some overlap because the progression moved more rapidly in Southern Europe than in Northern Europe.} It will be clear from the dates that the Paleolithic Era began before modern humans evolved. This should not surprise us, as it is known that our precursors, such as Homo erectus and Homo heidelbergensis used tools made from stone, wood and bone. However, the earliest stone tools were fairly simple, consisting of core tools and the flakes that were broken off them. Similarly, the first wooden tools, such as spears, were merely shaped with stone hand-axes or knives: It should be added that the end of the Paleolithic Era corresponds to the final phases of the Pleistocene Ice Age, which lasted from 2.6 Mya to 11,700 BP.

  • The Influence of the Friendly Society Movement in Victoria 1835–1920
    The Influence of the Friendly Society Movement in Victoria 1835–1920 Roland S. Wettenhall Post Grad. Dip. Arts A thesis submitted in total fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy 24 June 2019 Faculty of Arts School of Historical and Philosophical Studies The University of Melbourne ABSTRACT Entrepreneurial individuals who migrated seeking adventure, wealth and opportunity initially stimulated friendly societies in Victoria. As seen through the development of friendly societies in Victoria, this thesis examines the migration of an English nineteenth-century culture of self-help. Friendly societies may be described as mutually operated, community-based, benefit societies that encouraged financial prudence and social conviviality within the umbrella of recognised institutions that lent social respectability to their members. The benefits initially obtained were sickness benefit payments, funeral benefits and ultimately medical benefits – all at a time when no State social security systems existed. Contemporaneously, they were social institutions wherein members attended regular meetings for social interaction and the friendship of like-minded individuals. Members were highly visible in community activities from the smallest bush community picnics to attendances at Royal visits. Membership provided a social caché and well as financial peace of mind, both important features of nineteenth-century Victorian society. This is the first scholarly work on the friendly society movement in Victoria, a significant location for the establishment of such societies in Australia. The thesis reveals for the first time that members came from all strata of occupations, from labourers to High Court Judges – a finding that challenges conventional wisdom about the class composition of friendly societies.

  • William Stukeley's Kentish Studies of Roman and Other Remains
    http://kentarchaeology.org.uk/research/archaeologia-cantiana/ Kent Archaeological Society is a registered charity number 223382 © 2017 Kent Archaeological Society WILLIAM STUKELEY'S KENTISH STUDIES OF ROMAN AND OTHER REMAINS PAUL ASHBEE William Stukeley (1687-1765) was a pioneer unmatched in the hist- ory of archaeology, noted for his work on Stonehenge and Avebury, as well as his obsession with the Druids. It is not generally apprec- iated that he made major excursions into Kent and that in his pub- lished works, and many surviving papers, there are details of the prin- cipal Prehistoric, Roman and Mediaeval monuments of the County, as seen by him during the earlier years of the eighteenth century. Furthermore, his closest friends were John Gray, the Canterbury physician, and, from about 1721, Lord Winchelsea, of Eastwell Park. Two members of his antiquarian circle, Sir John Elwill and Sir Samuel Lennard, resided at Beckenham and West Wickham respect- ively, while another, Hercules Ayleway, wrote from 'Merriworth Castle'. Stukeley (Plate I) studied medicine at Cambridge and later in London, at St Thomas's Hospital. He spent seven years in practice in his native Lincolnshire, at Boston, returning to London in 1717. His countryside tours and antiquarian interests, led to the detailed appreciations of Stonehenge and Avebury, their supportive land- scapes and allied monuments, made between 1718 and 1724, for which he is justly famous. In 1717 he became the first Secretary of the Society of Antiquaries of London and wrote in the Minute-Book that 'Without drawing or designing the study of Antiquities or any other science is lame and imperfect'.

  • Ausências E Presenças Para Uma Carta De Stephen Mackenna
    Tradução em Revista , 2010/02, p. 01-13 AUSÊNCIAS E PRESENÇAS PARA UMA CARTA DE STEPHEN MACKENNA Caetano Waldrigues Galindo Letter writing is the only device for combining solitude with good company (Byron) I’m like a mirror; I’m nothing till you look at me (Mark Sandman) 1. Cartas ausentes, presentes Na peça Arcadia, de Tom Stoppard, que lida com dois momentos temporais 10.17771/PUCRio.TradRev.16654 diferentes e, entre outras coisas (fractais, entropia, determinismo, morte...), com um enigma da biografia de Lord Byron, um dos personagens, Bernard Nightingale, professor universitário, acredita ter descoberto um significante fato novo na vida do poeta, que explicaria, inclusive, sua primeira saída da Inglaterra. Depois de toda sua investigação, no entanto, ele descobre apenas indícios circunstanciais, que apontam para a possibilidade de que o fato tenha ocorrido, talvez mesmo para sua probabilidade. Mas não uma prova. Angustiado diante de um problema tão constante para quem tenta reconstruir vidas passadas, ele em um momento lembra que a prova, a confissão de Byron, pode mesmo ter sido escrita — em uma carta, digamos, que depois de lida, ou não, terá sido queimada ou perdida.
