In this far-reaching essay, historian Michael Edward Moore examines modernity as an historical epoch following the end of the medieval period -- and as a "messianic concept of time." In the early twentieth century, a debate over the meaning and origins of modernity unfolded among the philosophers Ernst Cassirer, Hans-Georg Gadamer and Hans Blumenberg. These thinkers tried to resolve the puzzle of the fifteenth-century master Nicholas of Cusa. Was Cusanus the last great medieval thinker, his ideas a summa of medieval tradition? Or was he a mysterious epochal figure, seated at one end of the bridge leading to modern thought? Nicholas of Cusa lived during a time of historical and existential crisis, or kairos, when medieval governments and cherished sources of unity were shaken. Likewise, the debate over his significance took place during a later phase of crisis for Europe, in the decades before and after the Second World War, when the collapse of European civilization was witnessed. Moore argues that modernity, so intently examined as an historical and spiritual problem, has significance for our contemporary sense of crisis.

The essays represent different philosophical traditions and contrasting cultural viewpoints in the arts, literature, architecture, philosophy, and the global politics of today. In spite of their discrepancies, the authors of these essays agree on one fundamental point: critical forums of this scope are crucial and thus necessary as we enter the twenty-first century.

Doelstellingen: In deze masterproef staat de rol van het Engels in de reclame centraal. In een corpusonderzoek van advertenties in een tijdschrift uit Vlaanderen en Frankrijk werden de volgende vragen bestudeerd: Komt Engels vaker voor in Vlaamse of Franse reclame? Is Engels voornamelijk aanwezig in de slogan, in de productnaam, in de eigenlijke tekst enz. en wat is het effect van die positie? Sluipen er meer Engelse woorden in advertenties voor producten die geassocieerd worden met moderniteit, globalisatie en vooruitgang, zoals werd aangetoond in de studie van Gerritsen (2007)? Heeft Engels een negatieve invloed op de grammatica van het Nederlands of het Frans? Middelen of methode: Er werd een corpus samengesteld van 168 advertenties uit Le Nouvel Observateur en 138 advertenties uit Weekend Knack over een periode van drie maanden, van november tot februari. De advertenties van het Franse tijdschrift dateren van 2012 - 2013 terwijl die van het Vlaamse tijdschrift dateren van 2011 - 2012. De verschillende advertenties werden verdeeld in zes categorieën op basis van de aard van het product dat gepromoot wordt. Voor de kwalitatieve analyse werd rekening gehouden met het volledige corpus. De kwantitatieve analyse (chi-square test) is gebaseerd op 24 advertenties van elk tijdschrift aangezien een parallelle selectie de voorkeur krijgt. Resultaten: Uit het corpus blijkt dat 74 procent Engels voorkomt in Vlaamse reclameboodschappen en 50 procent in Franse advertenties. Dit kan te maken hebben met de Franse wet Toubon die een vertaling vereist voor elk woord of elke zin die niet in de eigen taal wordt weergegeven. Er is ook een duidelijk onderscheid tussen fast-moving consumer goods, producten die relatief weinig kosten en niet duurzaam zijn, en slow-moving consumer goods, zoals een auto of een wasmachine. Engels wordt frequent gebruikt in slogans van reclame omdat die in het oog springen. Enkele voorbeelden uit Le Nouvel Observateur tonen aan dat Engels inderdaad een negatieve invloed kan hebben op de grammatica.

Ethnographers helped to perceive, to understand and also to shape imperial as well as Soviet Russia's cultural diversity. This volume focuses on the contexts in which ethnographic knowledge was created. Usually, ethnographic findings were superseded by imperial discourse: Defining regions, connecting them with ethnic origins and conceiving national entities necessarily implied the mapping of political and historical hierarchies. But beyond these spatial conceptualizations the essays particularly address the specific conditions in which ethnographic knowledge appeared and changed. On the one hand, they turn to the several fields into which ethnographic knowledge poured and materialized, i.e., history, historiography, anthropology or ideology. On the other, they equally consider the impact of the specific formats, i.e., pictures, maps, atlases, lectures, songs, museums, and exhibitions, on academic as well as non-academic manifestations.
