    Craig, Cujas, and the Definition of Feudum: Is a Feu a Usufruct?

    No full text
    This chapter is devoted to the disagreement of Thomas Craig of Riccarton with Jacques Cujas’ Romanist view that a feu (feudum or fief) was the grant of a usufruct of property belonging in dominium to the grantor. The chapter is divided into three sections. The first section briefly discusses Craig and Jus feudale, not only because author and work deserve wider recognition, but also because an understanding of the nature of Jus feudale is important in explaining the disagreement with Cujas. The second section explores the differences between Cujas and Craig. The concluding section attempts to explain the differences between Craig’s and Cujas’ definitions, and places them in a wider context.</p

    Above Vulgar Economy: Jane Austen and Money

    No full text
    Abstract: "Above Vulgar Economy": Jane Austen and Money By: Sheryl Bonar Craig Jane Austen's career as an author coincided with a series of economic recessions leading to a major economic depression, a banking crisis that resulted in government intervention, a number of controversial economic bills that were rejected or approved by Parliament in spite of public opinion, and the grudging public acceptance of paper money and debased coins. This discussion is an attempt to clarify some of the economic and political references that modern readers of Jane Austen's novels tend to overlook or to misunderstand and, in that process, to reveal Austen's interest in political economics and her familiarity with the ideas of the leading economists of her era, including Adam Smith, Edmund Burke, Thomas Malthus, Jeremy Bentham, Frederic Eden and Patrick Colquhoun. Austen's informed and opinionated references to her nation's economy reveal an author engaged with the political/economic debates of her volatile, turbulent era, such as the Restriction Act, the Speenhamland System, the Poor Law Reform Bill and the Corn Law. As Mary Poovey notes in Genres of the Credit Economy, the economic instability during Jane Austen's adult life created a great deal of insecurity in the British public, and Austen uses "her fiction to manage the anxieties it caused" (370). Austen's books thus reveal themselves to be state-of-the-nation novels and a series of texts that respond to the ongoing deterioration of the late 18th and early 19th century British economy

    The Reception of Antiquity, or Romantic Nationalization of Ancient Period

    The article offers a critical reading of an important and original book by Maciej Junkiert – Nowi Grecy: Historyzm polskich romantyków wobec narodzin “Altertumswissenschaft”. The author considers the book in the context of Junkiert’s earlier works and the current critical interest in the concept of reception, its theoretical approaches and practical application. The author concludes that the book casts new light on the antiquarian research and historicism, situating its onset in the German myth of “new Greeks” and nationalistic reading of [email protected] Zawadzka, dr hab., prof.

    The dance for the theater of the future : reading Isadora Duncan

    No full text
    Autorka analizuje idee Isadory Duncan, wyrażone w odczycie Taniec przyszłości, na tle manifestów i koncepcji Adolpha Appii, Edwarda Gordona Craiga oraz Konstantina Sta-nisławskiego, z którymi łączyły ją obszary zainteresowań lub/i relacje osobiste. Marginali-zacja Duncan w historii teatru jest interpretowana w artykule jako wynik patriarchalnego i opartego na kulcie mistrzów charakteru teatru XX i początku XXI wieku. Powrót do idei Duncan to zatem krok w kierunku rewizji narracji historycznych oraz spekulatywnego poszerzenia możliwości wyboru tradycji. Odwołując się do teorii feministycznych, krytyki instytucjonalnej oraz studiów o niepełnosprawności, autorka wskazuje na progresywne elementy koncepcji Duncan, które korespondują z nowatorskimi trendami we współcze-snych praktykach teatralnych i performatywnych.The author analyzes Isadora Duncan’s ideas expressed in her lecture The Dance of the Future, setting them against the backdrop of the manifestos and concepts of Adolphe Appia, Edward Gordon Craig, and Konstantin Stanislavsky, who shared her interests and/or knew her personally. The marginalization of Isadora Duncan in theater history is interpreted in the article as resulting from the patriarchal character of twentieth- and early twenty-first century theater, based on the cult of great masters. Revisiting Duncan’s ideas is thus a step towards revising historical narratives and speculatively expanding the choice of traditions. Referring to feminist theories, institutional critique, and disability studies, the author identifies the progressive elements of Duncan’s thinking that correspond to innovative trends in contemporary theater and performance practices

    Hypocretin/Orexin selectively increases dopamine efflux within the prefrontal cortex: involvement of the ventral tegmental area

    No full text
    Hypocretins (HCRTs) modulate a variety of behavioral and physiological processes, in part via interactions with multiple ascending modulatory systems. Further, HCRT efferents from the lateral hypothalamus innervate midbrain dopamine (DA) nuclei, and DA cell bodies express HCRT receptors. Combined, these observations suggest that HCRT may influence behavioral state and/or state-dependent processes via modulation of DA neurotransmission. The current studies used in vivo microdialysis in the unanesthetized rat to first characterize the effect of intracerebroventricular infusion of HCRT-1 (0.07, 0.7 nmol) on extracellular levels of DA within the prefrontal cortex (PFC) and nucleus accumbens (Acc). Electroencephalographic/electromyographic measures of sleep–wake state were collected along with select behavioral measures (eg locomotor activity, grooming). HCRT-1 dose-dependently increased PFC dialysate DA levels, and these increases were closely correlated with increases in time spent awake. In contrast, Acc DA levels were unaffected. Additional studies examined whether HCRT-1 acts directly within the ventral tegmental area (VTA) to selectively increase PFC DA efflux and modulate behavioral state. Unilateral infusion of HCRT-1 (0.1, 1.0 nmol) within the VTA increased PFC, but not Acc, DA levels. Importantly, intra-VTA infusion of HCRT-1 increased the time spent awake and grooming. Moreover, HCRT-induced increases in both time spent awake and time spent grooming were significantly correlated with post-infusion PFC DA levels. The current observations predict a prominent modulatory influence of HCRT on PFC-dependent cognitive and affective processes that results, in part, from actions within the VTA. Additionally, these observations suggest that the activation of VTA DA neurons contributes to the behavioral state-modulatory actions of HCRT.Peer reviewedFinal article publishedhypocretinorexindopamineprefrontal cortexventral tegmental areaarousa
