After reading this Unit you should be able to learn about: The economic and social factors which contributed to the processes of Renaissance and Reformation. The ideas, values and institutions associated with Renaissance and Reformation, The art and culture of this period, The process which led to the rise of modern-state in Europe, and The expansion of European powers to other regions of the world led to colonisation. 1.1 INTRODUCTION In this Unit, we introduce the study of a very crucial period in human history in which the foundations of the modern world were laid. A number of inter -related developments took place in the period from about the fourteenth to the seventeenth century A.D. There were certain major developments in Europe which had their impact on the entire world. In certain aspects, the impact was felt more or less immediately, while in others it took a much longer time. The terms ‘Renaissance’ and ‘Reformation’ are generally used to describe this period of transformation. The word ‘Renaissance’ means rebirth, and it was used to refer to the revival or interest in the learning of ancient Greece and Rome. But 7 History of Tourism-II it was much more than the revival of ancient learning. It embraced ideas and achievements in philosophy, religion, art, literature, politics and science which had little in common with the ancient heritage. At times, they were also against the Catholic Church and the authority of the Pope which led to the rise of Protestantism in the early sixteenth century as well as to the Catholic Reformation known as ‘Counter-Reformation’ in the later sixteenth century. The Reformation had a profound impact on the history of Europe which extended beyond the sphere of religion. Both Renaissance and Reformation had common social and economic causes. In their impact, they coincided, and together, they brought about the collapse of the feudal order and laid the foundations of a new social order. A series of inter-related developments accompanied these changes in society and economy. There were fundamental changes in the thinking of human beings about the world and their place in it, and in the content and style of art and literature. There was a decisive shift away from divine matters to the study of human matters and an invincible faith in the tremendous creative potential of human beings. The foundations of modern science were laid in this period. The period also saw the emergence of nation-states with new forms of political system and new political theories. This period was also the age of discovery when the voyages of exploration brought for the first time in history, all parts of the world into contact with one another. All these developments must be seen in their mutual inter-relationship. It may be useful to first have a look at the general and economic background of the period in which these changes and development took place. 1.2 SOCIAL AND ECONOMIC BACKGROUND In medieval period the revival of trade was accompanied by the growth of towns. Old towns became larger and many new towns emerged, mainly as centres of manufacture and trade. Towns, often walled, gradually freed themselves from feudal control. They had their own governments and the townsmen elected their officials. They had their own militia and their own courts. Unlike the serfs in feudal estates, there were no restrictions on the movements of citizens in the towns. They could come and go as they pleased and buy and sell property. “Town air makes a man free”, is an old medieval proverb. Towns provided asylum to serfs who escaped from feudal oppression. The towns encouraged the cultivation of cash crops needed for manufacturers, and peasants received their payments in money. The Peasant could now pay his dues to the lord in cash rather than by labour Money had little use in feudal societies. A feudal manor was more or less self-sufficient for its needs. There was very little of buying and selling and whatever there was, was done through barter. With the growth of trade, there was increasing use of money.

  • Palauan English As a Newly Emerging Postcolonial Variety in the Pacifi C*
    Palauan English as a newly emerging postcolonial variety in the Pacifi c* Kazuko Matsumoto・David Britain 1. Introduction The Republic of Palau/Beluu ęr a Belau is an independent nation state of the Western Pacifi c, consisting of an archipelago of around 350 small islands stretched across 400 miles of ocean. Its nearest neighbours are Indonesia and Papua New Guinea to the south, the Federated States of Micronesia to the east, Guam and the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands to the northeast, and the Philippines to the west. The islands have a population of around 20,000, of which over 60% live in the largest city and former capital of Koror in 2005 (Offi ce of Planing and Statistics 2006: 23). The capital, in 2006, was moved to Ngerulmud, in Melekeok State on the main island of Babeldaob. For most of the 20th century, Palau was under colonial administration: by Spain (1885–1899), Germany (1899–1914), Japan (1914–1945), and fi nally, the United States of America (1945–1994). It formally gained its independence in 1994. This article examines the emergence of an Anglophone speech community in Palau, and aims to do three things: firstly to set the emergence of Palauan English into the context of the country’s complex colonial past. Palau’s four colonial rulers have exercised control in different ways, with different degrees of settler migration, different attitudes towards the function of Palau as a ‘colony’, and widely differing local policies, leading to very different linguistic outcomes in each case. The article focusses, however, on the American era and the path to Palauan independence.
