HOW TO STUDY LITERARY CULTURE IN THE ENLIGHTENMENT?
Authors: Rosset François
Published: October 2022

It has long been known which books were read most widely throughout enlightened Europe and to which intellectual authorities particular social groups referred. After the long history of research about the 18th century, modernity has also inherited various research habits consisting mainly of constant verification of the recognised hierarchy of authors, publications, and actors of intellectual life. However, the question remains: how to study this literary culture in given continent areas? Speaking of literary culture, we mean the prevailing patterns in the reception, evaluation, assimilation and imitation of literature, information and evaluation channels, local conditions that have a decisive influence on choices and opinions. The author proposes to speak about this matter based on the recently completed work on literary culture in French-speaking Switzerland in the 18th century. Despite its specificity and evident provincialism, this example provides material for a general, theoretical and methodological reflection: is it worth researching production from the second (and further) shelf? If so, how should this material be approached? What does it tell us about the evaluation procedures? The article presents and analyses these issues.
CHALLENGES FACING RESEARCH ON THE HISTORY OF FORMERLY UNIFIED HISTORICAL TERRITORIES IN THE LIGHT OF ENLIGHTENMENT HISTORIOGRAPHY: A CASE FROM THE CORNER OF THE HABSBURG HEREDITARY TERRITORIES
Authors: Makuc Neva
Published: October 2022

This article aims to treat some problems connected with research on the Enlightenment and focuses on the case of Enlightenment historiography in the area between the Alps and the upper Adriatic. The article compares two Enlightenment historians (Carlo Morelli and Anton Tomaž Linhart) from the neighbouring Habsburg heredity provinces (the Duchy of Carniola and the County of Gorizia) in the area between the Alps and the upper Adriatic. The two scholars are emblematic of the challenges that research on the Enlightenment historiography of the then historically unified territories is facing today, in a period when nation-centred interpretations of history still retain an important role.
NOT A QUESTION OF STYLE? CATHOLIC ENLIGHTENMENT AND ITS REFLECTION IN THE VISUAL CULTURE OF BAROQUE CEILING PAINTING IN SOUTHERN GERMANY
Authors: Dreyer Angelika
Published: October 2022

The new methodological principles for the research on the Enlightenment and its visual reflection in baroque ceiling painting in southern Germany show a clear correspondence between composition and iconography and the reform concepts of the Catholic Enlightenment. The methodological approach does no longer focus on stylistic questions which do not lead to conclusive results or on the relationship between neoclassicism and Enlightenment but aspects of religious and ideological changes taking place in the 18th-century – devotional rhetoric, instructions regarding the sacrament, or the scholarly approach to history in the sense of the Congrégation de Saint-Maur. The changes occurring during the Enlightenment did not lead to neoclassical forms but visual rhetoric structures in narrative cycles of large ceiling decorations. Earlier ceiling decorations followed the post-Tridentine principle of a correspondence between the calculated effects of the rhetoric of the images and the written words. The viewer should be surprised (maraviglia) by deceptions through ingenious perspectives (inganno degli occhi) as well as rejoice (diletto) in the beauty of the paintings. Later, in the years of the Catholic Enlightenment, we observed a return to the system of horizontal perspective, which focused more exclusively on the iconographic content of the representation. This tendency follows the goals of spiritual literature by authors like Lodovico Antonio Muratori.
Czyj jest ten kawałek Sahelu? Prawo do dysponowania nieruchomościami w obliczu krytycznej zmiany
Authors:   REFUGIO, Kulczyk Marek
Published: October 2022

The right to dispose of real estate has unique properties in the countries of the Sahel, a result of an overlapping of local and postcolonial traditions. The features and dynamic of this phenomenon determine the economic development in the region as well as the spatial changes taking place there. Analyzing the legal codifications of the Sahel states of Niger, Burkina Faso and Senegal, and two Burkina Faso case studies – the Sawadogo forest in Ouahigouya and the Pazaani district mosque in Wagadugu – the author discusses the operation of the existing laws and their adaptation to the local economic and natural circumstances. Law-imposed restrictions on the disposal of real estate are also pointed out. The analysis shows that the tradition enshrined in law has impeded economic growth in the conditions of liberal economy. The current legal practice in this field has been evolving following the example of developed economies, which has brought with it both opportunities and threats.

Diriyanké – wzór „prawdziwie” afrykańskiego piękna versus signares, disquettes i jongoma. Intersubiektywność wzorów kulturowych społeczeństwa Senegalu
Authors:   Institute of Anthropology and Ethnology, Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznań, Vorbrich Ryszard
Published: October 2022

The aim of this study is to show how the conceptualization of female beauty can be an example of intersubjective interpersonal relationships preserved by social practices. It analyzes and compares four models of Senegalese beauty: diriyanké, signares, disquettes and jongoma. The sources of the article come from my fieldwork research conducted intermittently in Dakar and Saint-Louis in 2017–2020. The fieldwork observations, interviews and surveys made it possible to recreate the public discourse on the discussed issues. In the course of the analysis, I point to the genesis of different cultural patterns of female beauty in Senegal. I discuss the ways of women’s self-creation, influencing their social perception (the myth of “seductive power”) and creating the stereotypes and distinctions that separate them. From an anthropological perspective, the category of female beauty appears here as a phantasm of the mind, as a set of qualities dependent on subjective evaluation but located in a broader social and cultural context.

Al poniente de la cuenca de México se ubicó la jurisdicción del Matlatzinco, cuyo paisaje geográfico-cultural se particularizó por la presencia del volcán Nevado de Toluca y de la laguna de Lerma, la cual fue casi totalmente desecada entre 1942 y la década de 1970. El Matlatzinco fue invadido hacia 1474 por los mexica-tenochcas (grupo hegemónico en aquella cuenca), hablantes de náhuatl. Los nombres de esa jurisdicción, que se conocen en la actualidad, son los que le adjudicaron en náhuatl, los invasores mexicas: Matlatzinco, y, después los españoles: Valle de Toluca. En el presente texto se proponen tres topónimos matlatzincas –lengua de los gobernantes de dicha jurisdicción.

Introduction: Currently, maternal-fetal vertical transmission has not been reliably demonstrated; however, it has been shown that when there is a maternal cytokine storm, it can severely affect the fetus, leading to risks of fetal brain development abnormalities and risks of autism spectrum disorders.
Materials and Methods: In a descriptive and retrospective study carried out from June 2021 to June 2022, admitting pregnant patients over 18 years of age with a diagnosis of COVID-19 by positive antigen test or PCR-RT, previous symptoms and comorbidities are analysed, as well as the presence of obstetric complications. associated and the use of vaccines during pregnancy.
Results: 58 pregnant women with an established diagnosis of COVID-19 are entered into the study; the average age is 28 years; regarding comorbidities; only 2 reported suffering from chronic hypertension and 10 are overweight/obese. 40 patients were reported during the 3rd wave of COVID (June to December 2021) dominated by the Delta variant and 18 patients during the 4th wave dominated by Omicron (January to June 2022). According to the gestation trimesters, the majority were in the first trimester with 32 patients (55%), in the second trimester with 18 patients (31%), and only 8 patients in the third trimester (14%). Only 10 patients (17%) presented obstetric events associated with acute COVID-19 infection, highlighting threatened abortion and threatened preterm labour.
Conclusion: This cohort of pregnant patients with COVID-19 infection, remained free of serious disease thanks to vaccination, and being a young and healthy population, the importance of preventive vaccination in the gestation stage is of utmost relevance to avoid both serious maternal illness as well as poor fetal outcomes. Similarly, the virulence and pathogenicity of some strains over others are notorious.
A numerical approach to accurately estimate water resistivity (Rw) and saturation (Sw) in shaly sand formations
Authors: METWALLY Ahmed M. , MABROUK Walid M. , MAHMOUD Ahmed Ismail
Published: October 2022

In hydrocarbon reservoirs, the accuracy of hydrocarbon saturation depends on the precision of the water saturation and resistivity (Sw and Rw). A significant interpretation parameter is the resistivity of formation water (interstitial water or connate water which is, uncontaminated by the drilling mud that saturates the porous formation rock) because it is appropriate for the calculations of saturation (water and/or hydrocarbon) from basic resistivity logs. The most reliable way to determine this value is through the determination of the chemical composition or resistivity of uncontaminated connate water inside the formation. The saturation of water is the ratio between water volume to total pores volume and its determination accuracy has a great role in estimating hydrocarbon volume. However, the aims of this paper have two main folds, firstly, to introduce a complete review on water resistivity, saturation, and shale volume. Secondly, it presents a numerical method for the determination of resistivity of connate water and water saturation from the true resistivity of the formation using Schlumberger (1975) in shaly sand formations which require critical treatment compared to the clean sand reservoirs. To ensure its ability to determine both the resistivity and saturation of formation water, the technique was tested using synthetic and real field data.

Authors: GHONEIMI Ashraf , GAWISH Nashat S. , NABIH Muhammad
Published: October 2022

The present study represents an integrated study using the potential field maps and well geochemical data of the West Dakhla area in the western central area of the Western Desert area, Egypt. The potential field data are represented by the airborne gravity and total magnetic maps acquired by the Nuclear Material Authority (NMA), Egypt, on behalf of Dana Petroleum Company. The geochemical data consist of geochemical analysis in Ammonite-1 well that were done for source rock evaluation. Different processing techniques on the gravity and magnetic maps are carried out for separating the regional and residual separation and filtering. Modelling and Euler deconvolution tools are utilized for proposing the depth to basement and constructing basement-depth maps to infer the basin configuration of the study area. Before acquiring the present geophysical data, the study area wasn't subjected to any exploration investigations. Therefore, these data and this study are considered as the first efforts carried out and submitted for publication in this area. In addition, a comparison of the present basin is done with matched basins in southern Libya, where this basin is expected to have similar geological features. The study indicates that the studied basin may be a part of a wider basin extending in Egypt and Libya. This basin is expected to have the thickness and features that are favourable for hydrocarbon habitat. The geochemical analysis shows TOC values ranging from poor to very good source rock potentiality.

Published: October 2022

This paper presents the development and implementation of experiential behavioral economics course in three Middle East universities. Experiential learning has proven to have many benefits for students because of putting them at the center of the learning process and allowing them to learn by doing. More specifically, as part of the practical sessions, students were tasked to design, implement and report on one field experiment conducted in collaboration with a nudge unit. We believe that this approach whereby students apply their knowledge through experimentation to address issues relevant to their communities and environment can be more effective and impactful than traditional teaching or relying only on classroom-based experiments. In this paper, we share the lessons learned from the journey of delivering several experiential behavioral economics courses.

Published: October 2022

The natural environment is essential to life because it is through it that it is possible to extract resources for living beings that are inserted in it. For this, a balance of living beings and the environment is necessary through environmental awareness. The research objectives are to obtain the profile of the analyzed schools, observing how EE is applied in the public network of the municipality, in order to create a manual of practices of applicability of Environmental Education in schools. The research was carried out in thirteen public schools in the city of Itacoatiara/Am. Authorizations were obtained for the visits, observing how the theme is applied in schools and whether they have environmental projects. After the visits, an online questionnaire was applied to teachers and students to detect the qualities and deficiencies of the schools. Finally, the profile of the schools was obtained in order to develop an interdisciplinary application manual in schools in the Amazon. As a result, it was found that public schools are more prepared to work on these themes, and in support of pedagogical resources, given the lack of municipal schools, which, in addition to the lack of material, do not have the application of environmental projects as in state schools in that all apply at least one. All teachers are interested in working in an interdisciplinary way, as the topics are only worked in the classroom and according to the students' results, they are not attractive. It is concluded that there are many deficiencies that need to be corrected, be they structural, pedagogical and material that could benefit the teaching of EE, and thus, make the practices more attractive to the students.

MOSCOW SINOLOGY IN 1960–1970s: THE TRAJECTORIES OF INSTITUTIONAL AND PERSONNEL EVOLUTION
Authors:   Institute of oriental studies, Russian academy of sciences (MOSCOW), Golovachev Valentin Ts.
Published: October 2022

The crisis of Soviet-Chinese relations and Cultural Revolution in PRC had an extremely negative impact on Soviet Sinology in 1960–1970s. In response to the new challenges, a few years after the closing of Institute of Sinology and its merger with Institute of Asian Peoples in 1961, several new centers for China Studies appeared in Moscow, reflecting a big change in trajectories of institutional evolution or the transition from mono-centrism to a new stage of Moscow Sinology’s dispersion. These centers had their own specifics and were linked by relations of partnership and competition. The personnel policy was also greatly influenced by abrupt institutional metamorphosis. Despite the fact that the small number of Sinologists graduated in 1960–1970s, the scanty demand and shortage of vacancies led to a paradoxical overproduction of specialists on China in Moscow and Leningrad, which remained the main centers of Soviet Sinology. Weak dynamics and stagnation in personnel’s career growth were aggravated by the registration regime in Moscow, which cut off all regional Sinologists, regardless of their talent, experience and knowledge of China. Competition was also hampered by discrimination based on personal data, prejudices and non-academic preferences, forcing the talented scholars to change their jobs, adjust to political needs or stay shadowed by the party ideologists and “academic propagandists”. Normalization of Soviet-Chinese relations in early 1980s evoked no noticeable institutional and personnel changes, but Soviet Sinology faced the need for radical revision of old intellectual approaches and choosing the new ones. This paper outlines the trajectories of institutional and personnel evolution of Moscow Sinology in mentioned time. The concurrent trajectories of its intellectual evolution would be reviewed in another article.
THE NATIONAL POLICE MERITORIOUS SERVICE STAR OF INDONESIA — BINTANG BHAYANGKARA
Authors:   Institute of oriental studies, Russian academy of sciences (MOSCOW), Zakharov Anton O.
Published: October 2022

The award system of Indonesia has formed since the War of Independence against the Netherlands. The first Order — Bintang Gerilya, or the Guerilla Star — was instituted in 1949. Several years later, the Indonesian Army managed to suppress separatist and autonomist movements in various parts of Indonesia. The Indonesian military obtained control over nationalized businesses of the Dutch in the later fifties. It gave the Army a leading role in social and political spheres of the Indonesian state. In 1958, the Indonesian Government instituted two military Orders — Bintang Sakti, or the Sacred Star, and Bintang Dharma, or the Military Distinguished Service Star. In 1959, the Indonesian Government instituted the highest Orders of the State — Bintang Republik Indonesia, or the Star of the Republic of Indonesia, and Bintang Mahaputera, or the Star of Great Son of Nation. The National Police of Indonesia was formed in 1945 or, formally, in 1946. It obtained its own professional Order — Bintang Bhayangkara, or the National Police Meritorious Service Star — in 1961. A year later, the National Police turned a branch of the National Armed Forces of Indonesia. The National Police became separated from the National Armed Forces in 1999, during the democratization since the fall of Suharto’s ‘New Order’ in 1998. The paper focuses on the statute of Bintang Bhayangkara and its functioning among current Indonesian elites. The President and Vice-President of Indonesia have this Order ex officio. Bintang Bhayangkara is regularly bestowed to the high-ranking officers of the National Police and National Armed Forces of Indonesia.

Published: October 2022

This publication is a continuation of the academic Russian translation of the book XIII of «Shincho̅- ko̅ ki» chronicle, the first part of which was published in the previous issue of the Journal of the Institute of Oriental Studies RAS. The chronicle describes military campaigns of Nobunaga commanders — Hashiba Hideyoshi in Western Japan and Shibata Katsuie in Kaga and Noto provinces in 1580. Both continued fighting against Ikko̅-ikki, despite the peace agreement previously concluded between Nobunaga and Kennyo, the supreme abbot of Honganji. Hideyoshi completed the “pacification” of the Harima province and turned Himeji Castle into his main stronghold, while Hashiba Hidenaga, his younger brother, conquered the Tajima province on the orders of Hideyoshi. Shibata Kitsuie tricked into a trap and killed the main leaders of Ikko̅- ikki in Kaga. On the 2nd day of the 8th month, Kyo̅nyo, the son of Kennyo, fulfilling the terms of the peace treaty with Nobunaga, handed Ozaka to the emissaries of the emperor and Nobunaga and withdrew to the province of Kii. This part of the chronicle contains valuable information about Nobunaga’s exchange of gifts with Cho̅sokabe Motochika, the powerful daimyo of Shikoku Island. In addition, book XIII talks about the construction of the residences of Nobunaga’s vassals, as well as the building of Christian preachers’ mission on the shores of Lake Biwa, near the castle of Azuchi. The colorful sumo tournaments in Azuchi are described, which were not just entertainment for the castle’s owner, but also allowed him to promote the best fighters to the ranks of his direct vassals. The translation is provided with comments that allow to compare the messages «Shincho̅-ko̅ ki» with the data from other sources.

In 1962, Thomas Kuhn’s classic work “The Structure of Scientific Revolutions” was published, and while it was an established practice to study history as a series of successive academic paradigms, Thomas Kuhn himself was cautious about the use of his theory in the humanities: He initially envisioned the scheme of history as a change of academic paradigms, some sort of framework studies for use firstly in relation to the natural sciences. Kuhn questioned the aptness of the very term ‘paradigm’, believing its content to be extremely vague. Paradigms, albeit more and more as metaphors, are figure in the historical writing of the development of the humanities. Speaking about the Russian humanities, in the 20th century it went through the two episodes of paradigm change: After 1917 and 1991, respectively (in both cases, contrary to the original model). It is the instability of the humanities to external ideological influences that does not allow Kuhn to fully equate them with the natural sciences. In this article, we nevertheless use the term ‘academic paradigms’ in relation to the humanities. We show that the ideological and political factors that trigger the process of a lightning-fast paradigm shift in the Russian social sciences are the launch and a kind of process of inertia in the development of the social sciences. Using some examples that are relevant for Russian oriental studies, we show that the change of paradigm after 1991 did not lead to a change of discourse in Russian oriental studies. The paradigm shift meant a fundamental transformation of the broad consensus of interpretations of the facts, but it did not change in the same decisive way the range of issues studied.

This article analyses an image from the work of Polish-born Israeli artist Naomi Judkowski (Zofia Rosenstrauch) in juxtaposition with a work done by Russian artist Eufrosinia Kersnovskaya. The study aims to compare two art works of two women with different backgrounds who both suffered under two oppressive regimes. One of the founders of the Ghetto Fighters kibbutz in Northern Israel with its known museum and archive dedicated to the Holocaust memory and education, Naomi Judkowski was an important voice in the Israeli post-war society. Not only her drawings were used as the state of Israel put Eichman on trial, but she also wrote a memoir of her experiences in Auschwitz-Birkenau available for the future generations. At the same time, Eufrosinia Kersnovskaya represents unique evidence to the experience of forced labour and deadly conditions in the Soviet GULAG. Her memoir together with 680 drawings reached the audience in 1990 when it was published by Russian and foreign periodicals. Despite the importance of these works, none of them has received the proper attention to this day. However, in the works of both authors, one can clearly see the “unique female language” that served as an expression of feelings and emotions in response to the sexualized humiliations perpetrated by the men against these two women. The works of both artists are characterized by a realistic visual language and were created out of a need for emotional expression, making the viewer witness their experience.

Second half of the 19th century was characterized by a complex and contradictory situation within the states related to Central Asia; it was a period of very sharp political clashes between several interested countries on its territory. The Dungan and Uighur uprisings in Dzungaria and East Turkestan (1864–1877) and the subsequent unification of most of Xinjiang under the auspices of the Yettishaar state (1863–1875) could not leave the powers adjacent to the region indifferent observers of events. Xinjiang has become a place of undisguised confrontation between Russia, England (from the borders of British India), China and the Muslim rebels themselves. The interests of China and Russia in Xinjiang intertwined in the 1860s and 1880s into the Gordian knot, which, fortunately, was peacefully untied and not cut in 1881. The Period from the mid-1860s to the early 1880s was crucial for the named countries in their determination of their policy towards each other and towards the states and peoples of Central Asia. The history of China’s traditional foreign policy ties with the states and peoples of the northwestern territories shows that until the Qing period, China did not have long and significant control over this region. The article in an extremely concise form shows the main milestones in the emergence and resolution of the Ili (Ghulja) crisis, based on key evidence from documents from Russian archives.
GEORGIAN AND RUSSIAN MEDIEVAL HISTORIOGRAPHY ON THE MONGOLS

The article presents some observations on the most outstanding historical works of the era of Mongolian domination in Transcaucasia and Russia, which contain valuable information about the beginning and development of Georgian-Mongolian and Russian-Mongolian relations. Georgian sources of this period are represented by practically only one major monument of historiography that has survived to this day — the anonymous “Centennial Chronicle” or “Chronograph” (early 14th century), which is part of the “Kartlis Tskhovreba”. There are several editions and translations of this work; “Anonymous Georgian “Chronograph”” (2005) was used. Information about the Mongols is also contained in the works of late Georgian authors — Parsadan Gorgidzhanidze (1626 – ca. 1694) and Vakhushti Bagrationi (1696–1757), but due to the compilation nature of chapters devoted to the events of the 13th–14th centuries, they are practically not used by modern historians. Meanwhile, they can provide some assistance in reconstructing the policy of the Mongol rulers. Russian historiography has generated a relatively large number of chronicle vaults. Russian sources reflected a gradual change in the position of their authors in relation to the invaders. We do not consider this evolution here and limit ourselves to the earliest chronicle works — the Hypatian Codex, the Laurentian, and the Novgorod First, which are based on manuscripts of the 13th century. Even though all these works were created in a Christian cultural environment and emphasize the importance of God’s providence in the invasion of nomads, there are significant differences between them in assessment of the Mongolian power, stemming, among other things, from the peculiarities of position of the Georgian and Russian lands in relation to the Mongol Empire and later to its successors — the Ilkhanate and the Golden Horde. The author of the “Chronograph” demonstrates great awareness of the prehistory of the empire, he cites legends about the divine investiture of Genghis Khan, gives the Mongols a rather positive assessment, condemning only those of their rulers who allowed wrong actions to Christians. On the contrary, Russian chroniclers are very stingy about information about the Mongols and demonstrate an extremely negative attitude towards them.
NICOBARESE LANGUAGES AND OLD KHMER: NOUN PHRASE MARKER TA
Authors:   Institute of oriental studies, Russian academy of sciences (MOSCOW), Pogibenko Tamara G.
Published: October 2022

Nicobarese languages Car and Nancowry, which are modern vernacular languages of the indigenous population of the Nicobar Islands, and Old Khmer — the language of epigraphic inscriptions of 7th–15th A.D, possess a considerable fragment of grammatical system, which coincides in almost every detail. That is functional domain of the marker ta, which has two functions: marker of dependent predications of different types and marker of noun phrases with different syntactic and semantic roles. This fact is somewhat challenging since Nicobarese and Khmer are distant relatives, typologically different, they have different status and temporal affiliation. The present article deals with the second function of ta, which is called case marking function. Ta in the function of dependent predication marker was described in detail in [Погибенко, 2020б]. In Nicobarese and Old Khmer languages dependent predication marker ta has left vestiges in the form of prefix in deverbal nouns, adjectives and adverbials. In Nicobarese it is also found in adjectives derived from nouns. In the present article it is suggested that the case marker ta has also left vestiges in the form of suffix in verbs of location and dislocation and in prepositions. In Old Khmer ta marks indirect object and circumstantial noun phrases covering several semantic roles: location, addressee, recipient, deprivative, temporative. In Nicobarese it is also found in instrument and comitative noun phrases and, in contrast with Old Khmer, in direct object and displaced agent noun phrases, the latter in passive VPA sentences. In the compared languages case marking ta is gradually replaced by prepositions via the strategy of dubbing. It is suggested that the case-marking function of ta could have evolved during syntactic compression of a subordinate clause with the dependent predication marker.
