  • Colonial Contractions: the Making of the Modern Philippines, 1565–1946
    Colonial Contractions: The Making of the Modern Philippines, 1565–1946 Colonial Contractions: The Making of the Modern Philippines, 1565–1946 Vicente L. Rafael Subject: Southeast Asia, Philippines, World/Global/Transnational Online Publication Date: Jun 2018 DOI: 10.1093/acrefore/9780190277727.013.268 Summary and Keywords The origins of the Philippine nation-state can be traced to the overlapping histories of three empires that swept onto its shores: the Spanish, the North American, and the Japanese. This history makes the Philippines a kind of imperial artifact. Like all nation- states, it is an ineluctable part of a global order governed by a set of shifting power rela­ tionships. Such shifts have included not just regime change but also social revolution. The modernity of the modern Philippines is precisely the effect of the contradictory dynamic of imperialism. The Spanish, the North American, and the Japanese colonial regimes, as well as their postcolonial heir, the Republic, have sought to establish power over social life, yet found themselves undermined and overcome by the new kinds of lives they had spawned. It is precisely this dialectical movement of empires that we find starkly illumi­ nated in the history of the Philippines. Keywords: Philippines, colonialism, empire, Spain, United States, Japan The origins of the modern Philippine nation-state can be traced to the overlapping histo­ ries of three empires: Spain, the United States, and Japan. This background makes the Philippines a kind of imperial artifact. Like all nation-states, it is an ineluctable part of a global order governed by a set of shifting power relationships.

  • Cleopatra II and III: the Queens of Ptolemy VI and VIII As Guarantors of Kingship and Rivals for Power
    Originalveröffentlichung in: Andrea Jördens, Joachim Friedrich Quack (Hg.), Ägypten zwischen innerem Zwist und äußerem Druck. Die Zeit Ptolemaios’ VI. bis VIII. Internationales Symposion Heidelberg 16.-19.9.2007 (Philippika 45), Wiesbaden 2011, S. 58–76 Cleopatra II and III: The queens of Ptolemy VI and VIII as guarantors of kingship and rivals for power Martina Minas-Nerpel Introduction The second half of the Ptolemaic period was marked by power struggles not only among the male rulers of the dynasty, but also among its female members. Starting with Arsinoe II, the Ptolemaic queens had always been powerful and strong-willed and had been a decisive factor in domestic policy. From the death of Ptolemy V Epiphanes onwards, the queens controlled the political developments in Egypt to a still greater extent. Cleopatra II and especially Cleopatra III became all-dominant, in politics and in the ruler-cult, and they were often depicted in Egyptian temple- reliefs—more often than any of her dynastic predecessors and successors. Mother and/or daughter reigned with Ptolemy VI Philometor to Ptolemy X Alexander I, from 175 to 101 BC, that is, for a quarter of the entire Ptolemaic period. Egyptian queenship was complementary to kingship, both in dynastic and Ptolemaic Egypt: No queen could exist without a king, but at the same time the queen was a necessary component of kingship. According to Lana Troy, the pattern of Egyptian queenship “reflects the interaction of male and female as dualistic elements of the creative dynamics ”.1 The king and the queen functioned as the basic duality through which regeneration of the creative power of the kingship was accomplished.

  • Lesson 28 - Luther’S Later Life & Theology - from Wartburg to His Death
    Church History Lesson 28 - Luther’s Later Life & Theology - From Wartburg to His Death 1. Introduction - Earliest Years of the Reformation 1.1. As we saw last time, humanists such as Erasmus had prepared the way for the Reformation. The recovery of Greek and Hebrew, and a desire to return to the original sources, along with the obvious need for reformation in the church, opened the door for great changes to come. 1.2. Luther was the one who was used by God to spark the Reformation. His personal struggles, experiences, and study of the Scripture opened his eyes to the Gospel over several years. This culminated in the nailing of the 95 theses on the door of the church in Wittenberg. 1.3. Although Luther had not intended to do anything other than debate abuses of indulgences and other practices of he church, a firestorm was ignited. As events continued, Luther came to see even more clearly the problems with the practices and beliefs of the church. He came to see that many of these - penance, a false sacramentalism, a wrong view of grace, the priesthood, the papacy, the cult of relics and saints, tradition as equal or more authoritative than Scripture, indulgences, etc. - actually obscured or outright denied the Gospel and the sufficiency of Christ. 1.4. This ended at the Council of Worms where Luther was declared a heretic. This meant that no one was to harbor him or give him aid. However, Frederick had foreseen this and surreptitiously set up to have Luther kidnapped in the woods on the return to Wittenberg.

  • The Book of the Holy Trinity] [Text Not Visible], Manuscript on Parchment Southern Germany Or Austria, C
    Three Alchemical Miniatures from Das Buch der heiligen Dreifaltigkeit [The Book of the Holy Trinity] [text not visible], manuscript on parchment Southern Germany or Austria, c. 1450-1475 Three full-page miniatures with gilt borders, originally from the same manuscript, slightly rubbed, otherwise in good condition. Mounted on wood, in gilt frames; brief descriptions pasted on the verso of the frames, cut from a catalogue, stamps and seals, witnesses of earlier provenance. Dimensions, framed: 142 x 112 mm.; miniatures, c. 119 x 86 mm. These are three very attractive alchemical miniatures, of a quality that suggests they were once part of an unusually deluxe alchemical manuscript, still unidentified. They are of interest for their iconography, and as evidence of the existence of a deluxe manuscript of Das Buch der heiligen Dreifaltigkeit, the first alchemical text in German, illustrated by fully-painted miniatures, rather than colored line drawings. PROVENANCE 1. Three miniatures from the same manuscript; since they are now mounted on wood, any script on the verso is inaccessible, but might be recoverable. A fourth miniature from this manuscript is now National Museum of Sweden, B 1587 (reproduced in Nordenfalk, 1979, cat. 32, pp. 116-117; and figs. 238-239, images of two of the miniatures described here, then listed as owner unknown). Given the iconography of these miniatures and their relationship to other manuscripts of the text, one can conclude with a very high degree of certainty that they were originally from a manuscript of Das Buch der heiligen Dreifaltigkeit (Obrist, 1982, pp. 271- 275), probably from Southern Germany, or possibly Austria in the third quarter of the fifteenth century.

  • Local Dominance Was Complete, For, in the Course of Time, the Junker Had
    ”Local dominance was complete, for, in the course of time, the Junker had become not only an exacting landlord, hereditary serf master, vigorous entrepreneur, assiduous estate manager, and nonprofessional trader, but also the local church patron, police chief, prosecutor, and judge. […] Many of these experts in local tyranny were experienced in whipping the backs, hitting the faces and breaking the bones of ‘disrespectful’ and ‘disobedient’ peasant serfs.” German historian Hans Rosenberg commenting on Prussian miniature autocracies as quoted in Clark (2006, p. 162) 1/34 Serfs and the Market: Second Serfdom and the East-West Goods Exchange, 1579-1856 Tom Raster Master Thesis Defense Paris School of Economics Supervisor: Thomas Piketty Referee: Gilles Postel-Vinay June 13, 2019 2/34 Introduction Historical background Model Data Methodology & Findings Conclusion PhD proposal Labor coercion and trade ”The majority of labor transactions throughout much of history and a significant fraction of such transactions in many developing countries today are ’coercive’” Acemoglu and Wolitzky (2011, p.555) Today, c. 25 million people are in forced labor without the option to quit, many of them producing for international markets (International Labour Organization, 2017) Research on distributional consequences of trade, e.g.: Wage-setting in multinational’s sweatshop following international scrutiny (Harrison and Scorse, 2010) How fair trade labelling initiatives may lead to better terms for producers (Dragusanu et al., 2014) However, existing trade-inequality research assumes that workers voluntarily agree to the terms of employment 3/34 Examples of present-day labor coercion related to trade (a) Enserfement of c. 1 million Uzbek (b) Labor conditions and passport citizens to pick cotton for export confiscation of guest workers in Qatar Usually national services (civil or military) benefiting the public are not considered coercion Qatar example involves mobility bans that also frequently occur in history, e.g.

  • Ordinary Prussians: Brandenburg Junkers and Villagers, 1500-1840'
    H-German Spickermann on Hagen, 'Ordinary Prussians: Brandenburg Junkers and Villagers, 1500-1840' Review published on Friday, August 1, 2003 William W. Hagen. Ordinary Prussians: Brandenburg Junkers and Villagers, 1500-1840. Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 2003. 712 pp. $100.00 (cloth), ISBN 978-0-521-81558-1. Reviewed by Roland Spickermann (Department of History, University of Texas-Permian Basin) Published on H-German (August, 2003) In concluding this work on rural history, William Hagen writes, "If [the study's] implications for German history seem far-reaching, so they are meant to be" (p. 654). He does not exaggerate; in researching one Rittergut and its environs, he has discovered that much of what we thought we knew about rural Prussia simply did not fit his data. Hagen had described the Rittergut Stavenow before, in an essay entitled "The Junker's Faithless Servants," but Ordinary Prussians reinforces and extends his original assertions from a few decades to over three centuries.[1] The "faithlessness" of the villagers was apparently not a product of a given era, but an inherent characteristic of their lives. A world we thought was peopled with servile peasants and autocratic, pre-capitalistJunker backed by a repressive royal bureaucracy, instead had litigious farmers challenging Junker in sympathetic royal courts, Junker searching for ways to make estates more profitable, and a dense web of community ties operating with little reference to the Rittergut, much as they would have elsewhere in Europe. Given how much interpretations of Germany's turbulent development rely on the political and economic backwardness of rural Prussia, discovering that Prussians were quite "ordinary" indeed has far-reaching implications for how we must interpret German developments.

  • Capital-Skill Complementarity and the Emergence of Labor Emancipation
    Capital-Skill Complementarity and the Emergence of Labor Emancipation Quamrul H. Ashraf Francesco Cinnirella Oded Galor Boris Gershman Erik Hornung CESIFO WORKING PAPER NO. 6423 CATEGORY 5: ECONOMICS OF EDUCATION ORIGINAL VERSION: MARCH 2017 THIS VERSION: MARCH 2018 An electronic version of the paper may be downloaded • from the SSRN website: www.SSRN.com • from the RePEc website: www.RePEc.org • from the CESifo website: www.CESifoT -group.org/wpT ISSN 2364-1428 CESifo Working Paper No. 6423 Capital-Skill Complementarity and the Emergence of Labor Emancipation Abstract This paper advances a novel hypothesis regarding the historical roots of labor emancipation. It argues that the decline of coercive labor institutions in the industrial phase of development has been an inevitable by-product of the intensification of capital-skill complementarity in the production process. In light of the growing significance of skilled labor for fostering the return to physical capital, elites in society were induced to relinquish their historically profitable coercion of labor in favor of employing free skilled workers, thereby incentivizing the masses to engage in broad-based human capital acquisition, without fear of losing their skill premium to expropriation. In line with the proposed hypothesis, exploiting a plausibly exogenous source of variation in proto-industrialization across regions of nineteenth-century Prussia, the initial abundance of elite-owned physical capital that also came to be associated with skill-intensive industrialization is shown to have contributed to the subsequent intensity of de facto serf emancipation. JEL-Codes: J240, J470, N130, N330, O140, O150, O430. Keywords: labor coercion, serfdom, emancipation, industrialization, physical capital accumulation, capital-skill complementarity, demand for human capital, nineteenth-century Prussia.
