Trolleys to Brunswick, Maine -- 1896-1937

Introduction The last of the long-distance cross-country trolley lines which once abounded in New Engiand was the 30-mile route between Lewiston and Bath via Brunswick in the State of Maine. Built by the Lewiston, Brunswick & Bath Street Railway Company in 1898, it was operated by the Lewiston, Augusta & Waterville Street Railway Company from 1907 to 1919, and was abandoned by the LA&W\u27s successor, the Androscoggin & Kennebec Railway Company in 1937 after a lifetime of nearly 40 years. It might have lasted even longer had it not been for highway construction!https://digicom.bpl.lib.me.us/railroad_pubs/1037/thumbnail.jp

Theorizing experience: the psychological search for a science of religion (1896-1937)

This dissertation examines the central projects for a psychology of religion put forward in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. It argues that the proponents of this subdiscipline were attempting to set up a new science of religion, one which they thought was radically different from the science(s) of religion(s) that had been created in the second half of the nineteenth century by thinkers such as Max Müller, C.P.Tiele, E.B. Tylor, or Albert Réville. The novelty of the psychology of religion was thought to reside in its identification of a primarily affective and pre-intellectual religious experience as the essence of religion and in the development of tools (e.g. questionnaires) and concepts (e.g. conversion, mysticism) with which to probe that experience. After a period of efflorescence in the first two decades of the twentieth century, the psychology of religion began declining in the 1930s. I argue that this decline was, in part, the result of an inability to maintain the theoretical integrity of the psychology of religion's topic of study, such that the discipline either became dissolved into general psychology or it became a private theology in its own right. Chapter 1 outlines the ways in which the sciences of religion were constructed by the aforementioned nineteenth century theorists, looking in particular at several Gifford lectures and at a number of prominent French historians of religions. Chapter 2 reconstructs the debates around the concept of conversion and its relation to the notion of feeling, examining the texts of American psychologists such as William James, E.D. Starbuck, or James H. Leuba. Chapter 3 examines the formation of the notion of 'mysticism' in the French-speaking psychology of religion, by looking, primarily, at the works of Théodore Flournoy, Henri Delacroix, Théodule Ribot, and Pierre Janet. Chapter 4 examines C.G. Jung's psychology of religion

Reversal of fortune in a small, open economy: regional GDP in Belgium, 1896-2000.

In this paper we present estimates of regional GDP per capita for certain benchmark years during the first half of the 20th century using the method proposed by Geary and Stark (2002). After testing the robustness of the Geary and Stark methodology for the Belgian situation, these estimates are linked to the official regional GDP figures, available since 1955, so that we can cover the whole 20th century. Next we test the contrast put forward by many historians between a ‘poor Flanders’ and a relatively ‘prosperous Wallonia’ around 1900. For the remainder of the analysis Belgium’s nine provinces are used as a geographical unit to take a broader view than just the Flanders/Wallonia controversy. It shows a dramatic reversal of fortune between the northern and southern provinces. Finally, it is investigated whether the 20th century witnessed a process of convergence.

Group size and the logic of collective action: a network analysis of a Swedish temperance movement 1896-1937

In this paper we address the free-rider prob1em from a network perspective. We suggest that individuals' groups of relevant others are considerably smaller than is usually assumed in the Olsonian tradition. Instead of focusing on the interest group as a whole, we argue that a group of relevant others consists of those to whom the individual is tied through various social bonds. Since these groups tend to be small, social selective incentives are líkely to be efficient in inducing individual participation. In testing these ideas empirically, we use microdata on members of a Swedish temperance movement organization during the period of 1896-1937. We estímate how individuals' groups of relevant others are composed with respect to membership in the rnovement organization and how the composition of the groups affects indiViduals' decisions to join the movement organization. The results of the analysis support our thesis that additional movement members in the g·roup of relevant others increase an individual's propensity to join a social movement organization. However, the results also lend support to Olson's free-rider thesis: When controlling for the composition of the group of relevant others, additional members in the movement as a whole decrease an individual 's propensity to join the movement

A MODERNIDADE REBELDE DA PORTO ALEGRE DE FRANCIS PELÍCHEK

Resumo Este artigo discute a relação do artista tcheco Francis Pelíchek (1896-1937) com a cidade de Porto Alegre nas décadas de 1920 e 1930, período em que ali viveu e exerceu sua profissão de artista, professor de desenho e pintura e também artista de imprensa. Através da discussão de uma gama variada de suas obras, tais como telas a óleo, aquarelas e desenhos presentes em seus diários e na imprensa, é possível perscrutar a forma como o artista vivia a cidade, mostrando-se um observador atento de seu entorno. Contudo, o seu olhar peculiar parecia recusar-se à sedução do discurso modernizador, voltando-se continuamente para as paisagens de Porto Alegre que desapareceriam com as grandes reformas urbanas, bem como para os personagens que permaneciam excluídos dos benefícios que elas traziam. Palavras-chave: Francis Pelichek. Porto Alegre. Artes Visuais. Cidade. Modernidade. Reformas Urbanas.   Abstract This article discusses the relationship between the czech artist Francis Pelíchek (1896-1937) and the city of Porto Alegre in the decades of 1920 and 1930, where he lived as a painter, cartoonist, and art teacher. By analyzing oil paintings, watercolors, sketches in his diaries, and illustrations for the press, one is able to have an idea of how the artist experienced the city and perceived his urban context with attentiveness. However, his way of looking at the city did not seem to be seduced by modernizing discourses, choosing instead to portray the parts of the city condemned by the relentless remodeling of the time, as well as marginalized people unable to enjoy the benefits of the modernization.
