Marginality, morality, and the nationalist impulse: Papua, the Netherlands and Indonesia: a review article. Discussie over Een daad van vrije keuze
Authors: Elson R.E. 
Published: September 2015

P.J. Drooglever, Een daad van vrije keuze. De Papoea's van westelijk Nieuw-Guinea en de grenzen van het zelfbeschikkingsrecht (Amsterdam, Den Haag 2005). Marginality, morality, and the nationalist impulse: Papua, the Netherlands and Indonesia: a review articleDrooglever’s large and detailed analysis of the course of ‘West New Guinea problem’ demonstrates a mastery of sources and of the skills of synthesis, and will certainly become the definitive work on the subject. The book may be read at many levels, as a story of Dutch imperial decline and diplomatic failure, of Indonesian powerlessness, and of Papuan victimhood, as the Dutch refused to concede New Guinea, attempted to develop an indigenous Papuan political capacity, and were finally overwhelmed by a combination of Indonesian determination and the changing circumstances of international politics. The book’s greatest weakness, just like the post-war Dutch policy which is its subject, is its failure to appreciate the strength, depth and moral force of Indonesian nationalism, something reflected not only in the one-sided moral tone of the book, but also in its failure to analyse Indonesian sources and attitudes with sufficient seriousness. This review is part of the discussion forum 'Een daad van vrije keuze' (P.J. Drooglever).
Spreken vanuit het graf. De stoffelijke resten van Willem van Oranje in hun politiek-culturele betekenis
Authors: Santing C. 
Published: September 2015

Voice from the Grave. The politico-cultural relevance of the mortal remains of William of OrangeBalthazar Gerards’ murder of William of Orange on July 10th, 1584 is a canonical fact in Dutch history, but thus far this significant event has not yet been analysed on its own merits, i.e. in terms of the material disposition of his assassinated body. Hence, this article examines the literal and figurative - or cultural and material - handling of the physical remains of William the Silent and their subsequent iconification and deification. The historiographical background and intellectual inspiration for this article are provided by the work of Ernst Kantorowic’s pupil Ralph Giesey, Agostino Paravicini Bagliani and Joanna Woodward. All authors point to the increasingly lavish pomp and circumstance of monarchical funeral culture, which was imitated by Europe’s high aristocracy. The autopsy on William the Silent’s corpse was completed with a meticulous embalming. The preserved body and its subsequent lying in state amidst an extensive funerary apparatus and the full pompa of the burial ceremony contained numerous reminiscences of Charles V Brussels’ funeral, in which the Prince had played a prominent role. Also, after having examined the sculptural iconography of Hendrik de Keyser’s mausoleum in Delft’s Nieuwe Kerk, it can be concluded that the significance of William the Silent’s murdered body was much more royal and catholic than traditional historiographical views on the Dutch Republic would lead us to suspect.
'De schoone staat van Nederland'
Authors: Meyer H. 
Published: September 2015

The Pristine State of the NetherlandsThe main benefit of Van der Woud’s book is its detailed description of the process of physical unification of the new Dutch nation state through the establishment of an infrastructure for traffic, transport and communication. This new infrastructure was accompanied by a radical change in the appearance of the Dutch landscape. Increasingly during the nineteenth century, the ‘authenticity’ and ‘unique character’ of the Dutch landscape came to be valued and respected. Those who supported this ideal of ‘authenticity’ would have been horrified at the establishment of a new infrastructure. It is highly probable that this critique was a response to the new aesthetic of the modern infrastructure. It therefore comes as a surprise to this author that Van der Woud did not focus on this controversy at all. This review is part of the discussion forum 'Een nieuwe wereld' (A. van der Woud).
Adel in meervoud. Methodologische beschouwingen over comparatief adelsonderzoek in de Bourgondische Nederlanden
Authors: Damen M. , Janse A. 
Published: September 2015

Plural Nobility. Some Methodological Remarks on Comparative Research of the Nobility in the Burgundian Low CountriesWhen applying the prosopographical method to the late medieval nobility of the Low Countries, several methodological problems come to the fore. Late medieval sources usually do not label individuals as noble, thus complicating efforts to define a clear-cut population. Therefore, researchers usually combine different criteria to reconstruct the nobility. When comparing nobilities in different principalities of the Low Countries, as is our aim, this approach will inevitably result in serious distortions. Therefore, in this article we propose to create four different populations, each based on a single, uniform and sourcebased criterium: knightly title, possession of a seigniory, possession of a castle and participation in the Estates. This will enable us to make well-founded comparisons of the nobility in different principalities and in different times, thereby providing a solid base for more general conclusions to be drawn about the dynamics of the nobility in the late medieval Low Countries.

Imperialism, Colonialism and Genocide. The Dutch Case for an International History of the Holocaust
Authors: Haan Ido de 
Published: September 2015

During the past three decades, the historiography of the persecution of the Jews in the Netherlands has been dominated by attempts to resolve ‘the Dutch paradox’: the contrast between the tolerant reputation of the Netherlands on the one hand, and the large numbers of Dutch Jews that perished on the other. Attempts to resolve this paradox often look for specifically Dutch characteristics, thereby neglecting factors of an international nature that had a particular impact in the Netherlands. Attention is devoted in these contribution to German imperialism, which had special ramifications for the persecution of Dutch Jews; to the implications for population policy of the colonial regime that arose in the Netherlands, and to the social compartmentalisation and propaganda that accompanied these genocidal policies. This international perspective leads to new questions for the Dutch case, while this case sheds new light on the international history of the persecution of the Jews.

Verschillende opvattingen over taak en wezen van geschiedschrijving
Authors: Henkes Barbara 
Published: September 2015

Different Views on the Role and Nature of HistoryIn his defence of the documentary series De Oorlog [The War], Hans Blom stresses how recent studies, new source material and proven forms of presentation determined this renewed public history of the Second World War. In doing so, he and the television team would have managed to avoid political and moral positions. Instead, I emphasize that – since Hayden White at the latest – we know only too well how the selection and combination of any kind of information are crucial to the histories we present and the political/moral messages that are implied. This exchange reveals the substantial differences in our views on the role and nature of history and I hope it will stimulate more critical assessments of audio-visual histories.

De Slavernij is onze geschiedenis (niet). Over de discursieve strijd om de betekenis van de ntr- televisieserie De Slavernij
Authors: Jones Guno 
Published: September 2015

Slavery is (Not) Our History: On the Public Debate and Divergent Meanings of the NTR Television Series Slavery This article discusses the debates that followed the broadcasting of Dutch NTR-television series Slavery (De Slavernij) in 2011. While the series was aimed at informing the general public about this silenced part of Dutch history, the subsequent debates on the series revealed fault lines in Dutch society with regard to ideas on how to know and represent slavery adequately. Although most participants, in line of a positivist epistemology, made appeals to historical facts, these debates clearly demonstrated how knowledge and representations of slavery are positioned in a social and academic field that is always characterised by power relations. Postcolonial critics, whose voices are underrepresented in Dutch academia and media, held very different perspectives on the nature of ‘valid’ paradigms, ‘true’ facts, ‘proper’ interpretations, ‘appropriate’ historical referents and representations concerning slavery to people who praised the series. These polarised debates pose the question of how to engage with the history of slavery without resorting to (biological) essentialism that is precisely one of its potent legacies ‘we’ want to overcome.
Everything is Tottering: Why Philosophy of History Thrives in Times of Crisis
Authors: Paul Herman 
Published: September 2015

The philosophy of history is unlikely to disappear in a world beset by crises. Crises, understood as anomalies in how people conceive of their past-present relationships, serve as impetuses rather than as obstacles to philosophy of history. The more societies wonder whether economic growth is endless, or whether children in the West will ever reach the prosperity levels of their parents or how growing burdens of public debt will affect the ‘social contract between the generations’, the more likely they are to rethink their inherited past-present relationships. In a sense then, philosophy is a crisis phenomenon: the genre thrives in times of uncertainty. This does not imply that philosophy of history will always be taught in academic history departments: the genre has often, not to say usually, been practiced by non-historians. Historians might want to consider though, how well they serve their societies if they allow the philosophy of history to be practiced without the critical checks and balances of professional historiography.

A Wind of Change on Java’s Ruined Temples: Archaeological Activities, Imperial Circuits and Heritage Awareness in Java and the Netherlands (1800-1850)
Authors: Bloembergen Marieke , Eickhoff Martijn 
Published: September 2015

This article focuses on early archaeological activities on Java between 1800 and 1850 in the context of the multiple regime changes of that period. It engages with the New Imperial History’s network-centred approach by looking at circuits of archaeological knowledge gathering in which not empire, but Java’s ruined Hindu and Buddhist temple sites provide ‘the nodal points’. By tracing how people, objects and ideas travelled via these sites, and between the Netherlands and the colony, the article aims to understand the origins and nature of heritage awareness of the modern colonial state. It argues that this archaeological site-centred approach helps us understand how both European concepts and indigenous appropriations of archaeological sites contributed to the development of heritage awareness. There were complex multilayered power-hierarchies at work at these sites and forms of indigenous agency that we might miss if we follow only empire-centred networks.

A Higher Form of Hermeneutics?: The Digital Humanities in Political Historiography
Authors: Beyen Marnix 
Published: September 2015

Rens Bod’s optimism with regard to digital research tools also seems to be justified for the field of political history. In particular, these tools will enable us to ask questions that were hitherto unthinkable, and try to answer them on an unenvisaged scale. Unlike that which Bod suggests, however, this development will not bring us closer to revealing some alleged universal patterns in history and therefore herald a new era of Positivism. On the contrary, the digital research tools will show us manifold differences, both diachronic and synchronic, in the way (groups of) political actors identified themselves and gave meaning to the world surrounding them. Moreover, they will enable us to relate these differences to a broad range of social variables. If we really want to test the validity of these relationships however, we will have to actually interpret the texts and read them hermeneutically in their precise historical contexts.

Who's afraid of Patterns?: The Particular versus the Universal and the Meaning of Humanities 3.0
Authors: Bod Rens 
Published: September 2015

The advent of Digital Humanities has enabled scholars to identify previously unknown patterns in the arts and letters; but the notion of pattern has also been subject to debate. In my response to the authors of this Forum, I argue that ‘pattern’ should not be confused with universal pattern. The term pattern itself is neutral with respect to being either particular or universal. Yet the testing and discovery of patterns – be they local or global – is greatly aided by digital tools. While such tools have been beneficial for the humanities, numerous scholars lack a sufficient grasp of the underlying assumptions and methods of these tools. I argue that in order to criticise and interpret the results of digital humanities properly, scholars must acquire a good working knowledge of the underlying tools and methods. Only then can digital humanities be fully integrated (humanities 3.0) with time-honoured (humanities 1.0) tools of hermeneutics and criticism.

Een te herziene eeuw Nederlandse muziek. Onderzoeksperspectieven voor de negentiende-eeuwse muziek- en concertgeschiedenis
Authors: Delpeut Thomas 
Published: September 2015

Revising a Century of Dutch Music: Research Perspectives for Nineteenth-Century Music and Concert HistoryFocus on Dutch nineteenth-century concert and musical life has increased considerably over the past decades. However, the field of research is highly fragmented; conceptual and methodological approaches are scarcely elaborated and traditional approaches continue to determine the interpretational framework. In this article Thomas Delpeut proposes several research prospects for a revision of nineteenth-century concert and music history. In the first section Delpeut discusses recent studies, showing the need to reconsider both the 1880s as an overarching caesura and the revival of Dutch musical life revolving around the establishment of the Concertgebouw and Concertgebouw Orchestra. Next he presents various research possibilities inspired by international historiography – first to connect developments in musical discourse to practices in concert life, second to consider the public and their listening culture, and finally to investigate the experience of music in new social dimensions. De afgelopen decennia is de aandacht voor het Nederlandse negentiende eeuwse concert- en muziekleven flink toegenomen. Toch is het onderzoeksveld gefragmenteerd, conceptuele en methodologische benadering nauwelijks onderbouwd en traditionele inzichten lijken hardnekkig het interpretatiekader te blijven bepalen. Met dit artikel draagt Thomas Delpeut een aantal onderzoeksperspectieven aan voor een herziening van de negentiende-eeuwse muziek- en concertgeschiedenis. In het eerste deel bespreekt Delpeut recente studies die laten zien dat een fundamentele heroverweging nodig is van de jaren 1880 als alomvattende cesuur en van de opleving van het muziekleven ten tijde van de oprichting van het Concertgebouw en -orkest. Vervolgens presenteert hij verschillende onderzoeksmogelijkheden geïnspireerd door de internationale historiografie. Ten eerste om ontwikkelingen in het muziekdiscours aan concertpraktijken te koppelen, ten tweede om aandacht op het concertpubliek en zijn luistergedrag te vestigen, en ten slotte om de beleving van muziek in nieuwe maatschappelijke dimensies te bestuderen.
Validating Analog Production Type Curves for Resource Plays
Authors: McLane Mark , Gouveia Jim 
Published: September 2015

Abstract
Development projects in unconventional reservoirs can require capital expenditures of several hundred million to several billion dollars. Therefore it is essential that the assessment of these projects be as objective and unbiased as possible – that begins with the selection of analog production type curves.
Economic analysis of any development project is highly dependent on the production schedule incorporated into the cash flow model. For unconventional resource plays, project production schedules are often based on the aggregation of production type curves for an average, or representative, well within the defined project area. In general, we rely on the most representative analog wells available to define the production type curve. In established projects, these analogs typically come from the most recent wells within the project area; for new plays, the “best” analogs may be located in a different basin or play. But regardless of the data used to build type curves, the question emerges, “How do I know if my analog production type curve is representative?”
This paper presents methods for building aggregation models using Monte Carlo simulation to: Create confidence curves to evaluate the confidence of meeting pilot objectives as a function of the type curve uncertainty and the number of wells in the pilot;Generate Sequential Accumulation plots which project cumulative initial production rates for pilot projects onto a forecast envelope consisting of a cumulative P10-P90 envelope. By plotting the cumulative initial rates as pilot wells are brought online, the evaluator can assess whether the modeled type curve is appropriate or if it is conservative or optimistic.
Included in the paper are several examples comparing pilots that validate the selected type curve with pilots showing potential bias in the analog type curve. An important observation from these curves is the impact of sample size (e.g. the number of pilot wells) on the predicted confidence of meeting pilot objectives and the assessed validity of the analog type curve.
Global Cicada Sound Collection I: Recordings from South Africa and Malawi by B. W. Price &amp; M. H. Villet and harvesting of BioAcoustica data by GBIF
Authors: Baker Ed , Price Benjamin , Rycroft Simon , Villet Martin 
Published: September 2015

Sound collections for singing insects provide important repositories that underpin existing research (e.g. Price et al. 2007 at http://bio.acousti.ca/node/11801; Price et al. 2010) and make bioacoustic collections available for future work, including insect communication (Ordish 1992), systematics (e.g. David et al. 2003), and automated identification (Bennett et al. 2015). The BioAcoustica platform (Baker et al. 2015) is both a repository and analysis platform for bioacoustic collections: allowing collections to be available in perpetuity, and also facilitating complex analyses using the BioVeL cloud infrastructure (Vicario et al. 2011). The Global Cicada Sound Collection is a project to make recordings of the world's cicadas (Hemiptera: Cicadidae) available using open licences to maximise their potential for study and reuse. This first component of the Global Cicada Sound Collection comprises recordings made between 2006 and 2008 of Cicadidae in South Africa and Malawi.
This collection of sounds includes 219 recordings of 133 voucher specimens, comprising 42 taxa (25 identified to species, all identified to genus) from South Africa and Malawi. The recordings have been used to underpin work on the species limits of cicadas in southern Africa, including Price et al. (2007) and Price et al. (2010). The specimens are deposited in the Albany Museum, Grahamstown, South Africa (AMGS).
The harvesting of acoustic data as occurrence records by GBIF has been implemented by the Scratchpads Team at the Natural History Museum, London. This link increases the value of individual recordings and the BioAcoustica platform within the global infrastructure of biodiversity informatics by making specimen/occurence records from BioAcoustica available to a wider audience, and allowing their integration with other occurence datasets that also contribute to GBIF.
Using Authentic Materials in the Foreign Language Classrooms: Teacher Attitudes and Perceptions in Libyan Universities
Authors: Belaid Abdulhakim M. , Murray Dr. Liam 
Published: August 2015

<p>Looking through English as a foreign/ second language EFL /ESL literature, the researcher found a large body of references encouraging the idea of exploiting authentic materials in the process of language teaching. Such strong and positive attitudes toward using such materials could be attributed to the many advantages in improving and developing learners’ language proficiency. Moreover, authentic materials work on intensifying and developing learners’ second language motivation. The current paper is an attempt seeking to recognize deeply and understand the Libyan EFL teachers’ perceptions, attitudes and reactions toward using authentic materials in teaching English within Libyan state universities. EFL teachers from Azzaytuna; Azzawia; Al-Merghib; and Tripoli Universities participated in the current study. The results revealed that most EFL teachers hold positive attitudes to using authentic materials in language teaching. Some EFL teachers furthermore, emphasised on their regular use of the materials in their language classes, which would positively reflect on learners’ language proficiency. </p>
Investigating the Relationship of Economic, Social and Cultural Capitals with Fatalism in Isfahan
Authors: Ehsani Kaveh , Nejati Hosseini Dr. Seyed Mahmoud 
Published: August 2015

Evidence indicates that beliefs such as fortune and misfortune or how getting daily bread are typical theological fatalism in terms of Iranian religion and Islamic culture. On the one hand, although it seems that economic problems are the main factor associated with the fatalism in fatalistic nations, studies illustrate that Iranian society have suffered from mistrust, lack of social participation, knowledge and so on. Moreover, cultural crises have been embedded with their daily life nowadays. Consequently, the question is raised in the mind of the author that the fatalism might have a complicated relationship towards economic, social and cultural capital since the mistrust reduces participation and then the wheel of economic will be stopped. As a result, socio-economic and cultural capitals could have influence on the fatalism. The aim of this study is to investigate the fatalism of citizens in Isfahan according to the benefit of economic, cultural and social capitals. The theories of Marx’s alienation and Durkheim’s excessive discipline are used to study the fatalism. On the other hand, Bourdieu's perspective is used for studying the economic and cultural capitals as well as evaluating the social class and the lifestyle. The survey research has been conducted on the 300 residents of the city. A cluster sampling method is used in this study. The questionnaire is used as a data collection instrument and the Pearson Correlation Coefficient; t-test and ANOVA are used for the data analysis. Finally, it can be concluded that education, economic and cultural capitals and the lifestyle can influence on the fatalism more than other variables.
