Fernando Ortiz: Caribbean and Mediterranean Counterpoints, by Stephan Palmié (ed.)
Cultural history: An Interdisciplinary Approach
This article concentrates on what historians have borrowed and adapted from neighbouring disciplines in the last few decades, rather than what they have lent (much more rarely). It discusses the 'social turn' of the 1960s, the movements for historical anthropology and 'psychohistory (drawing on psychoanalysis) in the 1970s, the literary turn of the 1980s (ranging from the poetics of history to the analysis of 'fiction in the archives'), the histo…
La República de las letras, el presentismo y el diálogo entre la historia y las Ciencias Sociales
Este artículo ofrece una contribución a una conversación pública sobre el futuro de las ciencias sociales y las humanidades. El concepto de "conversación pública" está modelado en la idea tradicional de la "República de las Letras", actualizada para el siglo XXI. El artículo sugiere que lo que los historiadores tienen que aportar a esta conversación internacional e interdisciplinar es la crítica al "presentismo", es decir, el "repliegue sobre el …

The Jesuits and the Globalization of the Renaissance
Following a brief discussion of comparative and entangled history, and of the extension of studies of the Renaissance to the world beyond Europe, this article focusses on the Jesuits as carriers of the ideas and forms of the European Renaissance to their mission stations in Asia and the Americas. In their attempts to adapt or ‘accommodate’ Christianity to the cultures of the peoples that they were attempting to convert, Jesuit missionaries made u…

Theoretical Perspectives on Historians’Autobiographies: From Documentation to Intervention
Historians usually lead fairly uneventful lives, unless circumstances force them to flee from one country to another, as in the case of so many Central European scholars in the 1930s. Hence, it is
National Patient Flow Improvement Programme
In 2016 the HSE Clinical Strategy and Programmes Division and the Acute Hospital Division collaborated in co-sponsoring a proof of concept programme for Scientific Management Practices in Healthcare to tackle Patient Flow. It is a key work-stream of the Integrated Care Programme for Patient Flow and is closely aligned with the work of the Special Delivery Unit (SDU).To support planning and delivery of the programme, the HSE engaged[1] a technical…
Learning Transitions in Higher Education
Metahistory: Before and after
This article tries to place Hayden White's Metahistory between two trends: one before and one after 1973. The first is the trend towards studying the rhetoric of history: a trend that goes back to classical antiquity itself, was revived at the Renaissance and – following the moment of positivism – enjoyed a second revival in the age of the linguistic turn. The second trend, after 1973, is essentially the story of responses to White's book, whethe…
Cultural History and its Neighbours
This article offers a kind of map of intellectual fields that are more or less close to cultural history. It is difficult to separate cultural history from intellectual, social and political history, from archaeology and from the histories of such activities as art, literature, language and religion, whether these histories are studied in departments of history or under the umbrella of “visual studies”, “religious studies” or “cultural studies”. …
The Republic of Letters as a Communication System: An essay in periodization
This article argues that the concept of the ‘Republic of Letters’ or ‘commonwealth of learning’ is just as useful for writing the intellectual history of the modern period, 1750–2000 as it is in the case of the early modern period, to which the term is generally confined. The rise of nationalism and specialization in the nineteenth century was sufficient to modify but not to destroy the community of scholars. Examining the Republic not only as an…
Gilberto Freyre, Hybridity and Cultural Translation
This article begins by considering the diverse ways in which Gilberto Freyre used his key concept of mesticagem and the different cultural fields to which he extended it — architecture, cuisine, sport, literature, urban studies, sociology and even sex. Noting the alternative concepts or metaphors in Freyre’s work — interpenetration, mixture, hybridity and so on — it goes on to discuss a metaphor that he did not use, although it has become popular…
Interrogating the Eyewitness
Following on from Peter Burke, Eyewitnessing (2001), this article considers again the potential for collaboration between historians and art historians, and presents ‘ten commandments' to be borne in mind by historians who wish to make use of visual materials in their work.Keywords: methodologyinterdisciplinarityhistoriographyart and history
Invitation to historians: An intellectual self-portrait, or the history of a historian
Invited to present my views on historical thought and writing, I have tried to tell the story of their development, an intellectual autobiography that notes the importance of four milieux – Singapore, Oxford, Sussex and Cambridge – as well as the way in which my views have developed in dialogue with friends and colleagues

A Social History of Knowledge Revisited
In contributing to this symposium on book history, I was asked to reflect on my A Social History of Knowledge (hereafter SHK ), which was published in 2000, describing how I came to write it and what has happened to the field since, and considering the question of whether I might write my essay differently if I were beginning it today. Following this, I shall devote the remainder of the article to a sketch for a future project on the history of k…
Lost (and Found) in Translation: A Cultural History of Translators and Translating in Early Modern Europe
Attempting to combine cultural history with translation studies, this article examines translation between languages as a special case of a more general phenomenon, translation between cultures. It surveys printed translations made in Europe between 1500 and 1700, discussing which kinds of people translated which kinds of book from and into which languages. Particular attention is given to the reconstruction of the early modern ‘regime’ of transl…
Performing History: The Importance of Occasions
This article identifies what it calls a 'performative turn' in historical studies, as in the humanities more generally. It traces the rise of the notion of performance out of the dramaturgical model of the 1940s and 1950s (associated with Kenneth Burke, Erving Goffman and Victor Turner), linking the new idea (developed by John Austin, for instance, and Pierre Bourdieu) to the rise of 'postmodernity'. Turning to historical studies, the article ana…
Some Reflections on the Pre-Industrial City
In the last few years, a new word has gained popularity among historians: 'pre-industrial'. Specialists in the social and economic history of Europe before 1800 have become increasingly aware that the object of their studies is simply one case among others of what sociologists call 'traditional society', and that it is easier to understand traditional or pre-industrial Europe if it is compared and contrasted with other societies of this type. Thu…
Erasmus and the republic of letters
Erasmus was the first European intellectual to become famous, in the majority of European countries in his own lifetime. He thus illustrates the increasing importance of the international scholarly community or ‘republic of letters’ ( respublica litteraria ), a phrase which he helped to launch and which was common currency until the age of Voltaire. This article examines the ideal embodied in the phrase and suggests seven ways of testing the exte…

How to write a history of Europe: Europe, Europes, Eurasia
This article looks at the history of European culture from three angles, those of European uniqueness, European variety and European consciousness. The first section discusses the question of whether the fundamental unit of study, for cultural as well as economic historians, is not Eurasia. The second section is concerned with cultural divisions within Europe, with Europes in the plural. It asks whether it is more illuminating to distinguish two …

This study examines social work responses to users following case allocation of the initial referral. The aim of the study is to demonstrate the need for supervision of social workers dealing with cases which have in common an inherent quality, described as ‘risk’. The study also links referrals to other practice responses identified as ‘service delivery’ and ‘advisory’ work. The relationship between these particular responses is tested against t…

Brothers and sisters: Supporting the siblings of children with disabilities
In this article we examine the support needs of siblings of children with disabilities. Siblings often help and share some caring responsibilities at home; they need the opportunity to share their feelings with others in a different environment. We find that siblings benefit from attending a support group where opportunities to share their feelings and to take part in various activities are available to them, opportunities which otherwise might n…
