Guilds, Laws, And Markets For Manufactured Merchandise In Late-Medieval England, Gary Richardson

Gary Richardson

The prevailing paradigm of medieval manufacturing presumes guilds monopolized markets for durable goods in late-medieval England. The sources of the monopolies are said to have been the charters of towns, charters of guilds, parliamentary statutes, and judicial precedents. This essay examines those sources, demonstrates they did not give guilds legal monopolies in the modern sense of the word, and replaces that erroneous assumption with an accurate description of the legal institutions underlying markets for manufactures in medieval England.

Ethnicity As Cognition, Rogers Brubaker, Mara Loveman, Peter Stamatov

Rogers Brubaker

This article identi¢es an incipient and largely implicit cognitive turn in the study of ethnicity, and argues that it can be consolidated and extended by drawing on cognitive research in social psychology and anthropology. Cognitive perspectives provide resources for conceptualizing ethnicity, race, and nation as perspectives on the world rather than entities in the world, for treating ethnicity, race, and nationalism together rather than as separate subfields, and for re-specifying the old debate between primordialist and circumstantialist approaches.

Black, Mulatto And Light Skin: Reinterpreting Race, Ethnicity And Class In Caribbean Diasporic Communities, Marc E. Prou

Marc E. Prou

In recent years, Caribbeanists of different academic specialization and intellectual orientation have demonstrated a renewed interest in the unholy trinity of race, class and ethnic matters. the renewed interest has reflected a continued, but rather an unsystematic attempt to account for the social characteristics of race, ethnicity, gender and class among Caribbean people, both at home and abroad. The current ethnic power relationships manisfested by the unequal distribution of wealth in Caribbean diasporic communities is the direct result of colonialist influence on race through exploitative practices of the plantocracy and selective immigration to create a Caribbean middle class.

Osmanlıda Mesleki Teknik Eğitim İstanbul Sanayi Mektebi (1869-1930), Yaşar Semiz, Recai Kuş

Yaşar Semiz

Sanayi mekteblerinin ilk nüveleri ve nizamnameleri Tanzimat döneminde ortaya çıkmış, II. Abdulhamit döneminde eğitim sisteminde I. Meşrutiyet’ten sonra ıslâhhaneler, 1885’te sanayi mektebi adını almış; ancak, 1894’e kadar bir boşluk yaşanmış ve öğrenci sayılarında ciddi sayılabilecek azalma olmuştur. 1894’ten sonra hem okul sayıları artmış hem de okullar müstakil binalarına kavuşturulmuştur. Islâhhaneler, gerçek sanayi mektebi hüviyetine kavuşturulmuş ve sanayi mekteblerinin sayıları artmıştır. 1913’te İdare-i Umumiye Vilayet Kanununun yayınlanması ile sanayi mekteblerinin masrafları vilayetler hususi idareleri bütçelerinden karşılanmaya başlayınca okullar önceki döneme nazaran daha istikrarlı bir konuma geldi, fakat bu kez de her vilayetin ayrı program tatbik etmesinden dolayı okullar arasında bir birlik …
