Im Ballett gewesen. 3 Choreographien zu Gustav-Mahler-Werken, zusehends dramatischischer und die zweite, ein Pas-de-deux-zu Lieder eines fahrenden Gesellen kam dem Tobi offenbar wie ein Wunder vor. Sehr Schön. Wir sind jetzt wieder ein bisschen versöhnt mit unserem Staatstheater.

13th September 1813 saw the birth of Danial MacMillan, who co-founded the MacMillan Publishing giants.

Born on the Isle of Arran to a crofting family., young Daniel was apprenticed to a bookseller in Irvine, Ayrshire, at the tender age of ten. Daniel moved to Glasgow where he taught in a school for several years, before joining a firm of booksellers in Glasgow and, in 1833 he moved to London, with little more than his canny Scottish instincts and a strong desire to succeed as a book publisher.

At first, the 20 year old Daniel worked in a bookstore, which was located near Cambridge University and which specialised in classical authors. MacMillan soon gained a reputation amongst University students as a well read, reliable guide to recent publications. Daniel next spent a brief period with a London bookseller, where he was joined by his younger brother, Alexander. a bookstore, which was located near Cambridge University that specialised in classical authors. MacMillan soon gained a reputation amongst University students as a well read, reliable guide to recent publications. Daniel next spent a brief period with a London bookseller, where he was joined by his younger brother, Alexander.

In 1843, the MacMillans opened their own shop, D. & A. Macmillan, at 57 Aldersgate St., in London, and published their first two books, which hardly set the world on fire, their first few years were hard and they flirted with bankruptcy, but stuck to their task and slowly turned things around. Their first big breakthrough came from their friend a backer Charles Kingsley who penned Westward Ho! which was published in 1853. Another success was ‘Tom Brown’s Schooldays’, by Thomas Hughes. Books such as these, laid the foundations for Macmillan’s strong fiction list.

MacMillan’s went on to have some of the most well known authors of the 19th century on its books, Lewis Carroll, Charles Tennyson, Thomas Hardy, Rudyard Kipling, Maynard Keynes to name but a few.

Together with Maurice and Archdeacon Hare, Daniel and Alexander became supporters of the reform movement known as ‘Christian Socialism’ and most of their early publications reflected the liberal sentiments of that group, such as its commitment to universal education and as a consequence, the firm became a leading publisher of textbooks and other educational material.

Daniel had suffered ill health from a young age and passed away aged 43 in Cambridge, where he is buried at The Mill Road cemetery.

The firm Macmillan Publishers was run by the family into the 70’s and survives, albeit in name only, with no family connections, to this day.

A Short History of Memory Studies: Maurice Halbwachs

NOTES on Memory in Culture by Astrid Erll

Two concepts of collective memory:

the organic memory of the individual, which operates within the framework of a sociocultural environment

the creation of shared versions of the past, which results through interaction, communication, media, and institutions within small social groups as well as large cultural communities

ONE: Individual memory and social frameworks:

"He comes to the conclusion that the recourse to (...) social frameworks is an indispensable prerequisite for every act of remembering. Social frameworks are, for Halbwachs, first of all simply the people around us. Humans are social creatures: without other humans, an individual is denied access not only to such obviously collective phenomena as language and customs, but also, according to Halbwachs, to his or her own memory"

(p15)

we acquire knowledge about dates and facts, collective concepts of time and space, and ways of thinking and experiencing through interaction and communication with other humans

we interpret and remember past events because we participate in collective symbolic order

social frameworks are thought patterns and cognitive schemata that guide our memory

society forms our memory

Question: If society forms our memory, what happens to memory if a person is displaced?

"Social frameworks, thus, form the all-encompassing horizon in which our perception and memory is embedded. They are constituted from social, material, and mental phenomena of culture."

(p16)

social frameworks of homeland and native social group: shared knowledge and experiences relevant to that group

every individual belongs to several social groups: family, religious group etc

described by field of social psychology

"Our perception is group-specific, our individual memories are socially formed, and both are unthinkable without the existence of a collective memory. However collective memory is not supraindividual entity separate from the individual's organic memories. Collective and individual memory are instead mutual dependent".

(p16)

TWO: intergenerational memory

intergenerational memory is a family memory that is established through social interaction and communication

repeated recall of the family's past via oral stories

exchange of memory takes place between eye-witnesses and descendants

collective intergenerational memory goes back as far as the oldest members of the social group can remember

Halbwachs makes a distinction between history and mememory

"History and memory are irreconcilable: Halbwachs sees history as universal; it is characterised by a neutral coordination of all past events"

(p17)

individual identity is born out of the framework of collective memory

things we remember correspond to self-image and the interests of the group

belonging to a group through participation in the collective memory

memory can become distorted

memory does not provide faithful reproduction of the past

culturally constructed knowledge about distant past is passed through the creation of traditions

On June 27th 1857 Daniel MacMillan, Scottish publisher, died.

Daniel MacMillan was born on 13 September 1813, in the Isle of Arran to a crofting family., he was apprenticed to a bookseller in Irvine, Ayrshire, at the age of ten. Daniel moved to Glasgow where he taught in a school for several years, before joining a firm of booksellers in Glasgow and, in 1833 he moved to London, England, with little more than his canny Scottish instincts and a strong desire to succeed as a book publisher.

At first, he worked in a bookstore, which was located near Cambridge University and which specialised in classical authors. MacMillan soon gained a reputation amongst University students as a well read, reliable guide to recent publications. Daniel next spent a brief period with a London bookseller, where he was joined by his younger brother, Alexander.

In 1843, the MacMillans opened their own shop, D. & A. Macmillan, at 57 Aldersgate St., in London, and published their first two books, which hardly set the world on fire, their first few years were hard and they flirted with bankruptcy, but stuck to their task and slowly turned things around. Their first big breakthrough came from their friend a backer Charles Kingsley who penned Westward Ho! which was published in 1853. Another success was ‘Tom Brown’s Schooldays’, by Thomas Hughes. Books such as these, laid the foundations for Macmillan’s strong fiction list.

MacMillan’s went on to have some of the most well known authors of the 19th century on its books, Lewis Carroll, Charles Tennyson, Thomas Hardy, Rudyard Kipling, Maynard Keynes to name but a few.

Together with Maurice and Archdeacon Hare, Daniel and Alexander became supporters of the reform movement known as ‘Christian Socialism’ and most of their early publications reflected the liberal sentiments of that group, such as its commitment to universal education and as a consequence, the firm became a leading publisher of textbooks and other educational material.

Daniel had suffered ill health from a young age and passed away aged 43 in Cambridge, where he is buried at The Mill Road cemetery.

The firm Macmillan Publishers was run by the family into the 70’s and survives, albeit in name only, with no family connections, to this day., last year marked 180 years since it was founded.

I don't know how common it is generally, but even just in UK prime ministers, there's:

Alexander Boris de Pfeffel Johnson

Arthur Neville Chamberlain

James Harold Wilson

James Gordon Brown

Leonard James Callaghan

Robert Anthony Eden

Maurice Harold Macmillan

James Ramsay MacDonald

All of whom go/went by their middle names. In Wilson's case, it seems to be because he shared his first name with his father.

His bundle of names links all our little band of men together; but we call him Quincey.

the fire never happened and the twins go to Weston HCs

R! is in the Red House, O! is of course in Blue ---

In their first shared class, the teacher calls out “Phantomhive” and they both say at the same time “Which one?” and the teacher just stares ---

From then on, teachers will just call them by full name if it’s not otherwise clear who they’re addressing ---

The different neckties are obviously the easiest way to identify which twin is which, but people in the Violet and Green houses still struggle with it ---

When O!Ciel gets hit in the eye by a rogue cricket ball from some practicing seniors and has to wear an eye patch for a couple weeks, literally everyone tells him “We wish it was always this easy to tell you two apart” ---

R!Ciel likes to have the other students guess who is who without their jackets or ties. Some people catch on to the direction of the hair swirl, but even that can be manipulated and almost no one can remember which one’s hair hangs left vs. right anyway ---

Macmillan can tell the twins apart with scary accuracy, though. He can’t even be fooled. When people ask how he does it, he only says, “Isn’t it obvious?” No one’s really sure what to do with that ---

O! never flat-out pretends to be R! though. R! would absolutely love to trick people for sport, but O! isn’t confident he could do a good enough job at pretending to be his brother (I know, I know. I’m even oofing myself with this one, but I really think O! would feel this way) ---

Because of his bouts with asthma, O!Ciel has special privileges awarded by the school to cross the lawn like the prefects. However, O! hates special treatment and undo attention, so if you see a twin sprinting over the lawn, it’s almost definitely R!Ciel pretending to be O! when he’s running late for class ---

R!Ciel is a very reliable fag and is very concerned with the social hierarchy. He would 100% be rivals with Maurice Cole vying to get Redmond’s attention ---

O!Ciel is a reliable fag, too, but he’s Normal about it. When Bluewer requests O! to be his fag, R! gets so indignant. It’s not fairrrr how could his little brother be a prefect’s fag first??? ---

O!’s best subject is French/language. R!’s best subjects are classical studies and antiquities (anything history-related really) ---

The twins are pretty competitive about their test results. When R!Ciel does worse than O!, he gets really worked up and spends all his free time studying until the next test. When O! does worse, he congratulates R! and tells R! that he earned it for working so hard. It makes R! so frustrated (O! knows this, that’s why he does it. Secretly, O! always wants to be the best academically and will study his ass off for the next test) ---

O!Ciel writes letters to his parents and Tanaka twice a month. R!Ciel writes home maybe twice a semester ---

R!’s letters are like “Dear mother and father. I am well. I have perfect grades. I don’t need anything. See you for Christmas/Summer Break” ---

O!s letters are much more enthusiastic and personal and are usually a page or two long. Tanaka looks forward to them immensely and keeps every single one ---

O!Ciel is really surprised at how easily he makes friends on his own. He misses his brother, but starts to discover who he is and builds confidence ---

R!Ciel is very upset about this at first. He tries to make O! feel guilty for not spending all their free time together and acts rather possessive. When O! gets mad and tells R! to be nice to his new friends in the Blue House, R! doesn’t talk to his brother for three entire days ---

That all changes with Maurice Cole. In fact, everything in the Red House changes when Cole and R! become rivals. It’s like living a full-time Mean Girls movie and half the school is terrified of R!Ciel simply because he knows Everything about Everyone ---

With all these new friends, enemies, and frenemies accrued over a mere week, R! takes the mob boss approach and decides its time to forgive his brother. O! is like “Forgive what?? I didn’t even do anything wrong” but they’re still mostly good after that ---

People assume O! is just as dangerous as R! until they get to know him. However, those who get to know O! even more realize his power level might actually be higher than R!’s ---

When the brothers are fighting everybody knows it including the professors ---

Most of the time the boys don’t fight though. They actually live pretty separate lives, only meeting during afternoon breaks or in class and otherwise spending their time in their own way..... ---

At least until they go home for the summer, in which they spend all their time together and are total hellions without enough to occupy them: stealing snacks from the kitchen, playing tricks on the staff, challenging guests to weird debates, disappearing for hours to ride horses or go hunting without telling anybody, pestering Vincent literally every other second ---

“Father did you know this obscure history fact? you didn’t? wow I can’t believe it, and you’re supposed to be the Earl.... how cringe father” “father I can cuss at you in three languages now haha check it out” “father look at all your new wrinkles, you are such an old man, better lean on that cane a little more, don’t fall down the stairs now, wouldn’t want a thirteen-year-old taking your place as lord” Everyone was so excited for the boys to be home again but wow August really can’t get here fast enough can it...... ---

But then August is here and everyone at the manor cries because they’re going to miss the twins so much ---

Meanwhile the Weston faculty are at their first staff meeting like “We’re about to enter year two of Vincent’s twins attending. Brace yourselves lads: they’ll only get worse”
