La Academia de la Arcadia supuso, desde su creación, un excelente auspicio para las mujeres que deseaban ejercer la escritura. Las escritoras de la Arcadia formaron un nutrido grupo que, si bien dentro del canon impuesto, destacó por la calidad de algunas de sus componentes hasta el punto de llegar a formar parte de las antologías masculinas de la época y siglos posteriores. No obstante, no todo fue positivo, pues quedaron fuera de la institución poetas de talento cuyo estilo de vida no congeniaba con el estilo que sus fundadores quisieron imprimir a la Arcadia. Al menos, Cristina Dudley y Teresa Zani, entre otras, vieron su labor poética reconocida en diversas antologías., The Accademia dell¿Arcadia was, since its creation, an excellent omen for women who wished to practice writing. The Arcadia writers formed a large group that, although within the imposed canon, stood out for the quality of some of its components to the point of becoming part of the male anthologies not only at that time, but also in later centuries.However, not everything was positive, since talented poets whose lifestyle did not match the style that their founders wanted to impose at the Arcadia were left out of the institution. At least Cristina Dudley and Teresa Zani, among others, saw their poetic work recognized in various anthologies., Universidad Pablo de Olavide

UNESCO::HISTORIA::Historia por épocas::Historia moderna ,sociability ,societies ,gender ,academies ,women ,enlightenment ,patriotic - Abstract
This chapter examines in its European context the discussions maintained from 1776 to 1787 over the admission of women to the Economic Society of Madrid, one of the patriotic societies founded in the eighteenth century and representative of Enlightened reforming ideals and models of sociability. The debate assumed a wide resonance and was seen by contemporaries as a turning point, opening up no less than a “political revolution. It was connected, to a larger extent than has been acknowledged up to now, to European discussions about the nature of gender difference, women’s education and their access to public spaces (academies, literary, scientific and reforming societies. Taking place in a period when the country was vindicating its place in European modernity, the participants in this polemic were aware that these were passionately discussed issues internationally. They used arguments taken from —either unconsciously or deliberately— a common pool of Enlightenment discourses and brandished the examples of women admitted into literary, scientific, and artistic societies in other countries to call for emulation. But they also claimed that Spain could set an even more advanced example and become the model to be imitated, by making women’s admission to enlightened institutions the rule instead of the exception.

In the 16th and early 17th centuries, sources on musical life are rare. We will examine here those that come from cathedrals, choirs, academies, colleges and public shows in Saumurois, Guyenne and adjacent countries. After a reminder of what favors its practice, Angoulême, Bordeaux, La Rochelle, Limoges, Niort, Poitiers, Saintes and Saumur are evoked. This territory reflects the evolutions observed elsewhere, such as the scarcity of music prints and the influence of the Protestant community., Au XVIe et au début du XVIIe siècle, les sources sur la vie musicale sont rares. On examinera ici celles qui proviennent des cathédrales, maîtrises, académies, collèges et spectacles entre Saumurois et Guyenne.

This contribution attempts to highlight the relationships between University and academies in Bologna during the early modern period. Starting from the observation of the world of jurists, before considering doctors and philosophers, sources related to the life of the local Studio are analysed. As a result, a complex relationship emerges allowing to reconsider the traditional vision of a University that is clearly separated from the academies., Diciottesimo Secolo.

La plupart des institutions siciliennes à l’époque moderne, si elles ne s’intéressèrent pas toutes aux nouvelles connaissances scientifiques promues par les académies des Lincei à Rome, du Cimento à Florence et des Investiganti à Naples, firent cependant de la médecine l’une de leurs priorités, en raison des nombreuses épidémies dans l’île : si le Sénat de Messine reconnaissait l’utilité des sciences et encourageait les érudits dans leurs travaux, à Palerme en revanche, les académiciens étaient davantage muselés par le pouvoir espagnol en place. C’est donc Catane, qui n’avait que des académies littéraires, qui rivalisa scientifiquement avec Messine grâce à son université ouverte en 1434. La naissance d’une université à Messine en 1596, en plus de ses académies dont la Fucina pluridisciplinaire, plaça alors la ville en porte-à-faux à la fois vis-à-vis de Catane qui souhaitait conserver son monopole et de Palerme qui ne réussissait pas à obtenir l’accord des autorités pour créer la sienne. La médecine fut un exemple concret de cette dichotomie entre académie et université, et donc de ce problème structurel du savoir car elle mit en lumière la coexistence d’un système culturel parallèle, alternatif à celui des universités d’État Most Sicilian institutions in early modern period were not interested in the new scientific knowledge promoted by the academies of Lincei in Rome, Cimento in Florence and Investiganti in Naples, but they however prioritized medicine, because of the numerous epidemics in the island: while the Senate of Messina recognized the usefulness of science and encouraged scholars in their studies, the academicians in Palermo were muzzled by the Spanish power. So Catania, which had only literary academies, competed scientifically with Messina thanks to its university founded in 1434. The birth of a university in Messina in 1596, in addition to its academies including the multidisciplinary Fucina, then set the city in an awkward position with Catania which wanted to maintain its scientific monopoly and with Palermo which failed to obtain the agreement of the authorities to create its own university. Medicine was a concrete example of this dichotomy between academy and university, and therefore of this structural problem of knowledge because it highlighted the coexistence of a parallel cultural system, alternative to state universities.

162. Education policy and governance in England under the Coalition Government (2010–15): Academies, the pupil premium, and free early education
- Subjects
ACADEMIES ,PUPIL PREMIUM ,EARLY EDUCATION ,GOVERNANCE ,FUNDING ,REGULATION ,Education - Abstract
This paper explores the governance of school-based and early education in England under the Conservative–Liberal Democrat Coalition Government (2010–15). It draws on three prominent Coalition policy areas – the academies programme, the pupil premium, and free part-time early education – and focuses on changes to the role played by central government in governance; in so doing, it also makes contrasts with Wales and Scotland. An analysis of the funding and regulatory framework reveals that the role of central government in England increased under the Coalition Government and that of local government declined. These changes to governance have served to centralize power on the one hand, and to facilitate and sustain markets in school-based and free early education on the other; the same cannot be said of governance in either Scotland or Wales, where democratically elected local government continues to play a highly significant role.

Sponsored academy schools are independent, state-funded schools in England managed by charitable trusts (the 'sponsors'). Originally created in 2000, they have often replaced underachieving schools in socially deprived areas and have grown significantly in number, and sponsor type, since 2010. This article seeks to explore the relationships and roles of the academy principal and sponsor in newly formed academies. The study is a nested case study with a purposive sample organised by sponsor type. It is qualitative work, and 19 semi-structured interviews were held with key actors, including academy principals and sponsor representatives. A constant comparison method analysis was undertaken and emergent themes were developed. Depending on the relationship between the academy and its sponsor - which can range from autocratic to laissez-faire - a principal's autonomy can vary significantly from one institution to the next. Two key areas of autonomy are discussed: finance and school curriculum. The article explores implications for policy and practice, indicating that neoliberal structural reforms such as academy schools have implications for the role of the school principal. It concludes that there is a paradox that whilst academies were created to give schools greater freedom from local authorities, the autonomy of an individual principal in certain academies is reduced compared to that of their maintained school counterparts; the sponsor-principal relationship is fundamentally that of employer-employee.

This paper presents data from a study of five English primary schools. It examines some of the challenges associated with school autonomy and collaboration for state primary schools amid the uncertainty and complexity of governance in the present English education context. The paper features the voices of six leaders gathered from interviews that explored their thoughts about the academies movement. It highlights their fears that academisation, and particularly the imperative to join a large academy chain, will undermine their autonomy as individual schools. Accepting of the inevitability of academisation and the forms of network governance this reform offers, it highlights the head teachers’ moves to ensure their autonomy in terms of determining the timing and type of conversion. In relation to these moves, the paper reiterates the significance within effective collaboratives of member schools experiencing a sense of ownership, a common purpose, shared responsibility for students and their learning and relations of trust. The paper considers some of the tensions arising in this space in relation to competition, collaboration and school vulnerability. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

This article intends to provide a general overview of the reception of Martial's epigrams in the academies of the Golden Age, especially based on specific characteristics of literary composition that the same author designated as the "language of the epigrams", which, at different times, was an obstacle to the establishment of Matial's work within the canon. However, the laughter acquired such importance within the academic practice of the Baroque that this obscenitas began to recover and became a pretext for ingenuity, which was mentioned in an indirect manner.

NEW left (Politics) ,NEOLIBERALISM ,DEMOCRACY ,REPUBLICS ,GLOBALIZATION ,TRANSPHOBIA in schools - Abstract
The ideas of the New Left and the recently emerged alter-globalisation movements are marginal within current policy debates concerning the English education system. Here I seek to demonstrate the interconnections between the New Left and the alter-globalisation movement and suggest that these ideas contain a powerful corrective to the increasingly authoritarian present. The next part of the article considers the development of neoliberalism both in a theoretical context and since the arrival of the new Conservative–Liberal government in the UK. Here I outline the rapid transformation of English schools under the academies programme and look at how it has been explicitly linked to ideas of ‘moral collapse’ evident in the popular discourse of ‘Broken Britain’. Especially significant in this respect has been the labelling of comprehensive schools as ‘failures’ and the explicit imposition of more authoritarian understandings of pedagogy. I seek to explore both the rapidity of this transformation in the context of the dissatisfaction with the idea of comprehensive schools shown by the political Right and the Third Way’s reworking of socialism. Finally I briefly consider more progressive alternatives for schools and education by returning to the idea of the democratic commons. In this respect, the cultural Left needs to explore more radical alternatives beyond the defence of comprehensive schooling which sounds both nostalgic and misplaced within our global times.

- Abstract
El estudio sistemático de las academias poéticas en las comedias de Calderón de la Barca ofrece un valioso campo de investigación apenas explotado por los especialistas. A partir de la diversidad de formas de la denominada por Calderón «academia» en su obra para referirse a las academias literarias, las academias de amor y los debates, este trabajo quiere abordar el análisis de su función y de sus temáticas en nueve comedias calderonianas: El José de las mujeres, La sibila del Oriente, El hombre pobre todo es trazas, El mayor encanto, amor, Los tres mayores prodigios, El secreto a voces, Amado y aborrecido, Los tres afectos de amor, piedad, desmayo y valor y Los dos amantes del cielo. Con este objetivo, se propondrá, por un lado, la interpretación de su funcionalidad en términos metateatrales y, por otro, se pondrá de relieve que sus asuntos, si bien algunos fueron debatidos en los círculos académicos de su contemporaneidad, remiten a una larga tradición literaria y filosófica no tenida en cuenta hasta la fecha., The study of the literary and poetic academies in Calderón’s comedias have not been taken into account by calderonian researchers, while a comparative and critical analysis show us the diversity of uses and forms (literary academies, academias de amor and debate) used by this author. Thanks to its variety, this paper aims to analyse the functions and the themes in nine comedias: El José de las mujeres, La sibila del Oriente, El hombre pobre todo es trazas, El mayor encanto, amor, Los tres mayores prodigios, El secreto a voces, Amado y aborrecido, Los tres afectos de amor, piedad, desmayo y valor y Los dos amantes del cielo. On one hand, these academic verses will be understood as a metatheatrical form; on the other hand, the literary and philosophical traditions of its debate themes will be revealed.

O plakatu kao sredstvu komunikacije Vrijeme u kojem živimo potpuno je usaglašeno sa novim medijima vizuelnih komunikacija u koje se nedvosmisleno ubraja i plakat, sa svojom apsolutno prijemčivom i likovno pretpostavljenom formom, koja prati, osluškuje, provocira, uzbuđuje, obavještava i uvodi u kompleksan svijet likovnosti i dizajna. Brojni teoretičari, istoričari i umjetnici raznih profila su se bavili njegovom pojavom i analizom, te predlaganjem raznih mogućnosti definisanja samog pojma plakata i plakatske umjetnosti, pa najčešće nailazimo na informacije o plakatu kao umoženoj obavijesti koja se postavlja na javnim mjestima (moguće od riječi plak -mrljica ili krpica)? U engleskom jeziku se koristi termin poster (prihvaćeno i u našem jeziku kao doslovni prevod), ili posted up (objavljeno, u smislu postavljanja na javno mjesto). U francuskom jeziku se koristi the World Biennial of Student Poster -A Case Study Abstract: The paper World Biennial of Student Poster -A Case Study aims to show the complex structure of the poster as an art form in a historico-analytical and content-wise manner. Viewing the poster in the light of the progressive technological and innovative possibilities of modern information technologies, constantly requires challenging of the scopes and justification of the existence of a "classic" poster. Its role in contemporary society has been analyzed through various forms of manifestation in the spheres of art and modern design. Insufficiently paid attention to the essence of artistic expression through the poster, which has historically been marginalized in relation to classical painting, has positively changed over time, and through the apostrofing of the strength and the range the poster reaches, it has pointed to the significant changes in the society that this type of communication has achieved. In this paper, a prominent event of the Academy of Arts in Novi Sad, the World Biennial of Student Poster, was selected for the case study, and through the analysis of eight exhibitions of the Biennial, its role since 2004 has been evaluated with an obvious improvement in pedagogical and creative work on the poster.

This paper explores the decisions made by one secondary school in a major English city to become a co-operative academy. This school is located in an area affected by economic hardship and social and cultural tensions. The school, prior to its conversion to an academy, was well known in the local area for its commitment to social justice principles. Drawing on interview data collected from senior administrators, teachers, governors and students in the school, this paper seeks to understand why a school with a commitment to social justice would go down the academy route given the social justice concerns raised by such a move. This paper also considers if becoming aco-operativeacademy presents an ironic opportunity to resist many of the current regressive educational trends epitomised by academisation. This paper suggests that within the current English context, as in many other locations, a socially just approach to schooling requires alternatives to be explored and that the case study school's engagement with the Co-operative Society might present one such exploration.

This review essay analyzes the historiography of Confucian academies (shuyuan) in imperial China, focusing on five representative books published in China between 2008 and 2014, including two new editions of books originally published in 1995 and 2004. The five authors share a deep concern about the nature of academies, particularly their relationship with the state. A secondary theme that these books address is the impact that academies had on late imperial Chinese culture and society. Read together, these five works show how research on academies in imperial China has evolved over the past two decades. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper explores the governance of school-based and early education in England under the Conservative--Liberal Democrat Coalition Government (2010-15). It draws on three prominent Coalition policy areas -- the academies programme, the pupil premium, and free part-time early education -- and focuses on changes to the role played by central government in governance; in so doing, it also makes contrasts with Wales and Scotland. An analysis of the funding and regulatory framework reveals that the role of central government in England increased under the Coalition Government and that of local government declined. These changes to governance have served to centralize power on the one hand, and to facilitate and sustain markets in school-based and free early education on the other; the same cannot be said of governance in either Scotland or Wales, where democratically elected local government continues to play a highly significant role.

Corporatised leadership in schools in England is being promoted through new actors and new types of school, these latter with corporate structures, values, regulatory freedoms and contractual arrangements with staff. Corporatised leadership is characterisedinter aliaby the promotion of the interests of business through the curriculum, school structure, learning materials and pupil experiences, and the adoption of business-derived leadership practices and identities. Corporate leadership produces and is produced through new actors – here, Chairs of Governors, the alignment of whose symbolic capital with the privileged corporate discourse increases their influence. The paper draws on semi-structured interviews with nine school leaders from a range of school types. The data were analysed using Bourdieu's concept of fields to explore the cross-field effects of business/economics and educational leadership. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

This article examines the pattern of placement of students with significant special educational needs at Statement and School Action Plus levels in English secondary schools, comparing sponsored and converter academies, maintained schools and the newly created free schools, studio schools and university technical colleges for 2013 and 2014. The analysis shows a clear pattern of differences: converter academies (which are governed by their own governing body) had significantly lower proportions of students with significant special educational needs overall than maintained (those remaining under local authority management) and sponsored academies (those considered to be weak/failing schools forced to become academies with outside sponsors that oversee the schools). There was a similar pattern of findings for most areas of special educational needs, except visual impairment and autistic spectrum disorder. The pattern of placement of students with Statements in the newly created free schools also showed that some free schools have unusually high proportions of students with special educational needs. These findings are discussed in terms of the increasing stratification of English secondary schools and the potential of small secondary schools to be more inclusive. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Academisation of the English secondary school system has been extremely rapid and represents significant changes to the governance of the English school system. However, there has been a relative scarcity of attention to the rationales, rhetorics and discourses underpinning the academies programme. Seeking to address this gap, a poststructuralist discourse analytic lens is applied to 63 written submissions to the Academies Commission from a range of stakeholder groups, in order to map the different discourses and narratives drawn on in relation to academies and academisation. In setting out the various discourses identified, a cluster of discourses and rhetorical devices that produce the British education system as ‘in crisis’ are given especial attention. It is argued that these discourses provide the rationale and legitimisation for radical policy intervention as exemplified by the academies programme. The findings also provoke discussion concerning potential subjective agency in the promotion or otherwise of particular narratives and ‘conceptual emblems’ that inform the field of educational policy.

This article examines how religion has influenced, and continues to influence, the legal framework that regulates the circulation of knowledge about homosexuality and same-sex relationships within state-funded schools in England. This legal framework has become the subject of considerable recent public and legislative contestation. We argue that religious considerations and interests have contributed to the production and maintenance of an uneven educational landscape in which young people face disparities in their access to instruction regarding issues related to homosexuality and same-sex relationships. Key themes explored in the article include the exclusion of discussion of homosexuality from the requirements of the National Curriculum; the right of parents to withdraw children from sex education; attempts to make some discussion of same-sex relationships a statutory requirement for all state-funded schools, including faith schools; and the uncertain implications of the Marriage (Same Sex Couples) Act 2013 for the teaching of sex education.

The school system in England is undergoing rapid change, with the government creating more than 4000 ‘independent publicly funded schools’, known as academies, since 2010. The potential for fragmentation is considerable with diversity of governance emerging as a key feature of the new schooling landscape. Consequently, a major and widely recognised issue to which these reforms give rise concerns the future of the ‘middle tier’ –that layer between individual schools or groups of schools and central government. There are competing visions of how a future middle tier might evolve: one focuses entirely on a middle tier of individual schools and chains as a ‘self-improving system’; others conceive a continuing but revised role for the local authority (LA). The aim of this paper is to begin to explore the latter position, and in particular the potential role of the LA as a ‘broker’ of new patterns of school organisation. Drawing on interview data from three very different LA areas, the findings show that LAs differ in how they conceive their role and, consequently, on the strategies that they pursue.

The article is a summary of a small-scale research project which considers the formation of Co-operative Trust Schools. This was carried out in 2013 at a time when the number of schools becoming Academies and Trust Schools through the Co-operative College was burgeoning. Through questionnaire, interview, documentary analysis and exploration of websites, the research has sought to build up a picture of this Movement. A number of emergent issues are identified. These include the nature of new spaces for schools to form networks which provide a half-way house between the much tighter academy chains and the individual stand-alone academies and trust schools and the ‘places’ within the governance landscape within which they can do this. Perhaps the most challenging is the sometimes tenuous link between the value-centric Co-operative Movement and the values declared by these academies. It is suggested that the development of these academies with a connection with Co-operativism is more an association than a movement. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article investigates the realization of ethos and vision in the early stages of sponsored academy schools in England. It is a qualitative nested case study of ten academies. Nineteen key actors were interviewed, including principals and sponsor representatives. The nests were organized by sponsor type. Key themes are discussed within the context of the literature. There were common themes across all of the academies and some that were exclusive to individual cases. The conclusions drawn show that the leaders of these schools were initiating several actions simultaneously in order to develop their academies’ ethos and vision. The ethos and vision realization in sponsored academy schools is more complex than other examples in the literature owing to a greater number of actors and the urgency for change. In particular, the role of the sponsor is greater than much of the literature suggests. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

SCHOOL restructuring , *GOVERNMENT policy on schools , *SCHOOLS , *SECONDARY schools , *ACADEMIES (British public schools) - Abstract
This article considers the ways in which government policy in England is causing local schooling landscapes to be reconfigured. By August 2014, 12 percent of primary schools and 53 percent of secondary schools had become academies – ‘independent publicly funded schools’ directly responsible to the Secretary of State. The article begins by considering ways in which schools may choose, or be forced, to respond to this policy environment, and, in particular, the new forms of school grouping that may emerge. It then draws on case studies of three local authorities – a large metropolitan authority, a large rural county and a small unitary authority – to explore changing patterns of schooling. It notes that rates of ‘academization’ vary between the three areas, that local and regional groupings have gained greater purchase than national chains, and that, even allowing for this, almost half the academies are stand-alone – not belonging to any formal grouping. It concludes by arguing that deeper understanding of emerging patterns will require further study of the ways in which the values, purposes and power of key actors interact as decisions are taken about schools’ futures.

Cet article interroge la figure figée, longtemps prolongée par l’historiographie, du théologien comme détenteur d’un savoir résiduel, en analysant discours identitaires et pratiques savantes des théologiens dans la Rome du XVIIe siècle. Après avoir rappelé la relativement faible place de la théologie dans la fabrique des carrières romaines, mais aussi dans le système romain des sciences, il constate que l’essor de l’érudition ecclésiastique au XVIIe siècle accompagne une valorisation nouvelle des compétences historienne dans la curie mais aussi une forme de dilution de la théologie comme savoir. La torsion de la figure du théologien comme savant en direction de l’érudition rejoint un modèle supranational de l’homme de savoir. Les théologiens intériorisent les critères nouveaux, notamment littéraires, de la hiérarchisation des savoirs. Dans la Compagnie de Jésus aussi une forme de marginalisation de la théologie se fait jour mais selon des logiques spécifiques. Theologians, scholars and scholarship: images and realities in late seventeenth-century Rome. This article explores the historiographically fixed figure of the theologian as the holder of residual knowledge, by analyzing the identity discourses and scholarly practices of theologians in seventeenth-century Rome. After recalling the relatively weak place of theology in the Roman careers, but also in the Roman system of sciences, it highlights the rise of ecclesiastical scholarship in the 17th century, with a new appreciation of the skills of historians in the curia, but also a form of dilution of theology as knowledge. The twisting of the figure of the theologian as scholar in the direction of erudition joins a supranational model of the man of knowledge. Theologians accept the new criteria of the hierarchy of knowledge, especially literary criteria. In the Society of Jesus, too, a form of marginalization of theology is emerging, yet according to specific logics.

Dans l’histoire des collections françaises, celles issues des écoles de dessin et des académies d’art du xviiie siècle ont un statut à part. Leur spécificité tient tout d’abord à leur mode de constitution. Elles résultent d’actions collectives mettant en réseau des individus aux statuts et aux intérêts divers : artistes, amateurs et acteurs de la vie économique et politique. Elles traduisent une certaine identité artistique, qui lie formation et création dans le domaine des beaux-arts et des arts manufacturés. La synthèse ici présentée s’inscrit dans les recherches du programme ACA-RES (Les académies d’art et leurs réseaux dans la France préindustrielle). Collections from 18th century drawing schools and art academies have a unique status in the history of French collections. Their specificity relies mainly on the methods used to create them. They are the results of collective actions that created a network of individuals of varying statuses and interest: artists, art lovers, economical and political actors. They show a specific artistic identity, which links collection development to creation in the fine arts and manufactured arts domains. The synthesis written here is a part of the researches by the ACA-RES Program (“Academies of fine art and their relationships in pre-industrial France”).

Jones, H. S.
- Abstract
Pattison made his imprint on public controversy chiefly in the debates on university reform; and that meant, above all, the reform of the universities of Oxford and Cambridge. Oxford was his home from the age of eighteen to his death, but this was no merely parochial concern. His thinking about the reform of Oxford was informed by a profound knowledge of the history and present state of European universities. Moreover, although he loathed the Victorian passion for being busy, he willingly lent his support to newer universities, and university colleges, in England and Wales: he examined for University College London, served on the Council of University College Aberystwyth, and chaired the Committee of Management and subsequently the Council of Bedford College. He was a good friend to Owens College, Manchester, and became a member of the Court of the Victoria University at its inauguration in 1880. As we have noticed, he was also an active supporter of the higher education of women. There is a further point: the reform of the universities of Oxford and Cambridge was a hugely important issue in Victorian politics and public life. This was partly because at the beginning of the nineteenth century they were Anglican monopolies, and the principal route to ordination in the established church. Steps to remove confessional restrictions, or to secularize the universities, inevitably awoke the passions of denomination and churchmanship that were the motors of so much of Victorian politics.

Jones, H. S.
- Abstract
‘It may be said with deliberation, and without fear of contradiction from any competent authority, that in Mr Mark Pattison the University of Oxford has lost by far the most distinguished of her resident members.’ So wrote the Saturday Review in August 1884, on the death of the rector of Lincoln College. This was a strong assertion to make at a time when the University housed Benjamin Jowett, Max Müller and John Ruskin, but the spirit of the remark was echoed in other obituaries in the national press, and it captures the extraordinary reputation Pattison enjoyed at the end of his life. He occupies a shadowy presence in Victorian studies today, but his contemporaries would have been surprised to find that his intellectual distinction has been lost from view by historians. In his last decade he enjoyed nationwide renown for the exceptional qualities of his mind; and that renown reached continental Europe too. Even his antagonists recognized that they were dealing with a man of rare ability. Jowett, who was more aware than most of his personal deficiencies, could nevertheless call him a genius. Pattison lived through a formative period in the history of the modern university in England, and in his person he embodied many of the transformations that occurred in the half century he spent at Oxford.

195. Organizations of knowledge.
- Abstract
The “organization of knowledge” is a large and diffuse topic which can be studied at many different levels, ranging from the way an individual orders his or her understanding of the world privately or in publications, to the ways in which communities or institutions order knowledge, notably in pedagogical curricula and textbooks, professional structures, libraries and library catalogs, and other collective projects. Although a few modern philosophers have addressed the problem of classifying knowledge, current practices of classification are mostly studied by anthropologists and sociologists. Modern cultures and subcultures engage in both explicit and tacit classifications of knowledge, but today any particular organization of knowledge is generally acknowledged to involve a number of arbitrary choices and its success is often measured by pragmatic criteria of effectiveness, such as ease of use and economic efficiency. But this skeptical attitude toward the possibility of any organization matching the reality of knowledge or of the world is a fairly modern development, articulated for example in Jean Le Rond d'Alembert's “preliminary discourse” to the Encyclopédie of 1751. In Renaissance Europe, on the contrary, many thinkers harbored the ambition of implementing the perfect organization of knowledge, though pragmatic, notably alphabetical, arrangements were also widespread in certain contexts. During the Renaissance the difficulty of ordering knowledge was greatly exacerbated in almost every field by the massive influx of material to be included, stemming from newly discovered worlds and newly recovered ancient texts as well as newly printed texts of all kinds, and by concurrent social and cultural changes associated with the development of printing, a rapid growth in higher education, and shifting patterns of patronage and social mobility.

196. Continuity and change in the Aristotelian tradition.
- Abstract
The predominant view of historians was once that the philosophy of Aristotle, after spreading throughout Latin Christendom in the wake of the great wave of translations from Greek and Arabic begun around 1125, reached its greatest diffusion in the thirteenth century, came to a profound crisis in the fourteenth, and then suffered in the fifteenth under the challenge of Platonism. As a result, Aristotelianism in the Renaissance survived in only a few “conservative” strongholds - such as the universities of Padua, Coimbra, and Cracow - before it was finally swept away by the coming of modern philosophy and science. Thanks to the work of historians like John Herman Randall, Eugenio Garin, Paul Oskar Kristeller, Charles Schmitt, and Charles Lohr, research in the last sixty years has shown that such an image of the development of European thought is so one-sided as to be substantially false. The point here is not merely to insist on the notable expansion of Aristotelianism in the fourteenth century - for in that century, far from declining, Aristotelian philosophy reinforced its position by consolidating its fundamental role in university instruction, by linking its fate to that of influential philosophical and theological schools, and by obtaining for the first time the explicit support of the papacy. One must go still further and insist that, if the greatest intellectual novelty of the Renaissance was the rediscovery of little-known and forgotten philosophical traditions, Aristotelianism nevertheless remained the predominant one through the end of the sixteenth and into the seventeenth century.

197. The philosopher and Renaissance culture.
- Abstract
During the Renaissance, the term philosophy could still denote learning in general: thus Gregor Reisch named his encylopedic textbook (published first in 1503 but reprinted extensively in northern Europe as well as in Italy throughout the sixteenth century) Margarita philosophica, a work which served as an introductory compendium of learning from the most elementary reading to theology, normally regarded as the pinnacle of knowledge. At the same time, however, Reisch focused on the subjects which had, in the course of the Middle Ages, come to constitute philosophy as an academic discipline: logic, natural philosophy (meaning natural sciences), morals, and metaphysics. Up to the twelfth century, when Europe witnessed the emergence of specialized institutions of higher education - now known as universities but usually called studia or studia generalia in the later Middle Ages and the Renaissance - philosophy, as an academic discipline, regularly formed part of a unitary curriculum, beginning with elementary reading and grammar and terminating with theology, all of which was taught within one institution or school. Such schools usually had an ecclesiastical affiliation, often with a monastery or a cathedral. The best of these schools (e.g. at Chartres) embraced a remarkably catholic range of knowledge. William of Conches, for example, a great teacher who taught in the French schools during the first half of the twelfth century, left a series of commentaries reflecting his teaching activity: from grammar (on Priscian, in two different redactions) to moral philosophy, physics, cosmology, metaphysics, and theology (on Boethius' Consolation of Philosophy, Macrobius, and Plato's Timaeus).

198. Introduction.
- Abstract
Readers who come to David Hume's Enquiry Concerning Human Understanding (1748) equipped only with the taxonomies provided by modern histories of philosophy - “British empiricism” versus “continental rationalism,” scientific versus scholastic, ancients versus moderns - are likely to be taken aback at the way Hume in his first chapter, “Of the Different Species of Philosophy,” anatomizes the philosophy of his time. He distinguishes first a moral philosophy that “considers man chiefly as born for action,” which regards virtue as the most valuable of objects and “paint[s] her in the most amiable colours, borrowing all helps from poetry and eloquence,” treating the subject “in an easy and obvious manner.” Moral philosophers of this kind “make us feel the difference between vice and virtue; they excite and regulate our sentiments; and so they can but bend our hearts to the love of probity and true honour, they think, that they have fully attained the end of all their labours.” But there is a second species of philosophers who “consider man in the light of a reasonable rather than an active being, and endeavor to form his understanding more than cultivate his manners.” This kind of philosopher does not address the generality of men but “aim[s] at the approbation of the learned and the wise,” seeks “hidden truths” rather than an improvement in the behavior of mankind. Hume claims the first species of philosophy, being “easy and obvious,” will always be preferred to the “accurate and abstruse,” as is shown by the relative popularity of the first: “the fame of CICERO flourishes at present; but that of ARISTOTLE is utterly decayed. LA BRUYERE passes the seas, and still maintains his reputation: But the glory of MALEBRANCHE is confined to his own nation, and to his own age. And ADDISON, perhaps, will be read with pleasure, when LOCKE shall be entirely forgotten.” [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Inspired by Jurgen Habermas¡¯s presentation of the European public sphere institutions, I explore Korean Confucian private academies, which featured aspects of public sphere during its function from the 16th to the 18th century. Especially, (1) by examining Korean academies, I reveal how Habermas’s definition of the European public sphere corresponds to the functions of those academies. (2) In order to show the transformation from naive public sphere to political public sphere, I examine the historical periods in which academies became politicized and began to actively participate in the national political discourse. (3) I present a variety of empirical evidence on the establishment and development of private academies. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

200. Reading and experiment in the early Royal Society.
- Abstract
The business of the Society as I sayd before [is] three fold to wit the perusall of Bookes, the consulting of men & the Examination and tryall of things … acquisitions shall be brought into and Read in the Society at the usuall place & time & then recorded in their proper place there to be perused at any convenient time by the members of the Society & by none els whatsoever. READING IN THE HISTORY OF SCIENTIFIC PRACTICE Back when everyone accepted that the Scientific Revolution was something that had actually happened, one of its defining features was always said to be a turning away from the world of ‘words’ towards that of ‘things’. The existence and importance of the shift seemed incontrovertible. It was everywhere visible and prominent. All the new philosophies of the seventeenth century, however erudite, obscure or occult they may have seemed to modern eyes, loudly claimed to be abandoning slavish and idle adherence to ancient authority in favour of active and powerful engagement with the powers of nature themselves. The general trend was exemplified by an anecdote that Johann Joachim Becher, an enterprising mid-seventeenth-century chymist, economic innovator and natural philosopher, was fond of telling to anyone who would listen. The anecdote described an alchemical adept who, on hearing a scholastic professor lecture on the impossibility of transmutation, got up in front of the class and turned lead into gold there and then.
