You see a video of the identical printed image used in the 1670s on the title page of the Nuremberg “Wochentliche Ordinari Post-Zeitung”. Re-used Woodblock, here we go. #bookhistory #histodons#newshistory
📖 Fernando Dores Costa has republished a paper that he presented at the French Revolution Bicentennial Congress in Coimbra in the 1980s.
Now, in the e-Journal of Portuguese History, he revisits that research on the role of Mouzinho da Silveira in the abolition of "feudalism" in Portugal.
CORRECTION: this is not a republication, but rather a new version of the study, with added research in relation to the initial work, which was indeed first presented in the 1980s.
@bojacobs@histodons I'm assuming you know about how apparently metal that was forged before nuclear testing is a hot commodity for scientific instruments.
@Legit_Spaghetti@histodons
Absolutely. One key early source of this pre-contamination metal was World War One German naval vessels that had been scuttled off the coast of Scotland in the 1920s.
This beauty is one of the absolute gems at Herculaneum! So much so that the findspot is named after the two figures: the House of Neptune & Amphitrite.
The gorgeous gradations of blues sets this piece apart 💙

Perhaps it has to do with the observation that (if you’re lucky) hitting an appliance (like a TV or a radio) a second time may temporarily make it work once again. More recently I’ve heard it said about hard drives.

@exploreyourarchive@histodons is there any point in me keeping generations of photos - the printed kind? There is no one famous in our family. Would they be of any use to any archiver? To me they are just junk that my mum asked me to look after. I have no idea who they depict, most have no information. Should I 'lose' them? I have tried to pass them on but no-one seems interested. Or would there be an archive that I can pass them to?
Ok. You've just discovered a magical camcorder that can travel through space and time. It can record high quality sound and video for one hour. You can only use it three times.
@histodons#histoire Je viens de finir "Les statues de la discorde" de Jacqueline Lalouette et j'ai été vraiment déçu. Déjà, il me semble que l'autrice est hors de son champ habituel (pourquoi pas), mais au final à part d'une liste de fait d'attaque sur des statues (uniquement liées à des thématiques : racisme, esclavagisme et colonie) j'en ressors pas vraiment avec une idée claire de la thèse proposée. Rien au final sur les usages des statues dans le roman national. 1/2
@histodons On arrive quand même à des propos du type : il faut faire la différence entre l'action de militaires français (comme Lyautey par exemple) dans la conquête coloniale et dans la défense de la France en 14/18. Et ce moment gênant où Sébastien Lecornu est titré "ministre des Colonies". Si des historien.nes ici ont des éléments plus pertinents et fondés que les miens de béotien, je suis preneur #colonialism#colonialisme 2/2
• U.S. President James Monroe first introduces the Monroe Doctrine in the State of the Union address on Dec. 2, declaring that any European attempts to recolonize the Americas would be considered a hostile act towards the United States.
October 9 is Indigenous Peoples Day, and it’s important to remember the reasons why this is a day to reflect and honor the legacy of generations.
One often forgotten, brutal aspect of the history: how European settlers scalped Native Americans, and were paid money for every scalp, as proof of a killing.
@TheConversationUS@histodons I am an indigene bent on reason and humanity yet many of my countrymen. are bent on an atavistic longing for some imagined past that never was and seek to destroy such improvement we have seen in pursuit of purity and self determination. Indigenes like the rest are flawed at times. Such as now. In Scotland.

I'm looking for literature on the relationship between concepts of 'sustainability' and 'sustainable development' and local practices in the Global South and/or indigenous communities in the Global North (e.g. First Nations).
Specifically, I'd like to know how 'sustainability' is defined; what forms of knowledge are privileged; and how local practices are described by outsiders (& vice versa).
