A expansão marítima dos séculos XV e XVI reconfigurou as atividades mercantis na Europa e levou a difusão dos centros de comércio e das fontes de mercadorias em novas praças na Ásia, na América e na África. O trato transcontinental e as finanças, que ganharam complexidade, concretizaram-se nas relações entre as redes de comércio com atuação global. Portugal foi o nascedouro de grande parte dessas redes familiares que se multiplicaram e passaram a ter negócios em todas as frentes do trato colonial. No início do século XVII, os grandes cabedais lusos transferiram-se para Amsterdã e Hamburgo. Famílias cristãs-novas destacaram-se no trato mercantil, entre elas a dos Dias de Milão perseguida e presa pela Inquisição , que reapareceu em Amsterdã e Hamburgo com grande atuação no comércio internacional / The maritime expansion that occurred during the XV and XVI centuries reconfigured the mercantile activities in Europe and led to the dissemination of commercial centers and sources of commodities on new places of Asia, America and Africa. The transcontinental treat and finances gained complexity that substantiated itself in global trade networks. Portugal was the incubator of a great deal of those multiplying family networks that started to have businesses in all fronts of the colonial treat. At the beginning of the XVII century, the great Portuguese estates were transferred to Amsterdam and Hamburg. New-Christian families had significant importance in commercial dealings, among them the Dias de Milão family, persecuted and arrested by the Inquisition that reappeared in Amsterdam and Hamburg with great outwork on international commerce

This study endeavours to elucidate the journal of Captain Hermanus Hofmeijer of the Dutch man 0' war, Amsterdam, which has been transcribed from the original script, translated from Dutch into English and interpreted from a contemporary viewpoint. It offers an opportunity to evaluate a unique primary historical document which records an important historical event. An attempt has been made to contextualise the incident in the light of the early history of the Dutch people. The contribution of the Dutch East India Company (VaC) to the trade and commerce of the Netherlands during the 17th and 18th centuries has been assessed together with the shipbuilding techniques that served to make the Dutch a major seafaring nation. The significance of Texel and Nieuwediep has been examined and the sea route and navigational instruments placed in perspective. The voyage has been analysed in some detail. The background of Captain Hermanus Hofmeijer has proved especially interesting. Although he pursued his career with the Dutch Navy, he was born and spent his early years in Cape Town, South Africa. The time spent by the Amsterdam in Batavia, Samaraog and Sourabaya gives an insight into the Dutch possessions overseas. The return voyage, storms and ultimate grounding are of special interest as Hofmeijer records the journey and events on a daily basis. The impact and significance of 217 extra people in the Eastern Cape area did not go unnoticed, and although the event was not well documented, an attempt at some contextualisation has been made. Finally a short overview of maritime archaeology in South Africa and its significance as a relatively new discipline has been included. The study of the material remains of the wreck of the Amsterdam has resulted in a new understanding of wooden ships built in the early 19th century.

Skuld en vergifnis is komplekse konstrukte wat deur die eeue in verskillende religieuse, sosiologiese, psigologiese, wetlike en private sfere ontwikkel het en steeds ontwikkel. Hierdie konstrukte word gesien as deel van die menslike kondisie. Hierdie mini-verhandeling lewer ’n ondersoekende literêre oorsig na die ontwikkeling van die konstrukte skuld en vergifnis, met spesifieke verwysing na: • bestaande perspektiewe en post-strukturele teorieë aangaande skuld en vergifnis; • aspekte van skuld en vergifnis wat neerslag vind in die politieke, sielkundige, sosiale, filosofiese en religieuse domeine; • die metodiek en ritueel rondom die gee en ontvang van vergifnis. Die navorsing stel voor dat skuld en vergifnis as ideologiese raamwerke kan dien om die wêreld, samelewing en letterkunde te analiseer. In die ontleding van die roman 30 nagte in Amsterdam, deur Etienne van Heerden (2008), word aangetoon hoe aspekte van skuld en vergifnis verbeeld word deur die gebruik van die volgende narratiewe struktuurelemente: karakters en karakterisering, plot of intrige, verteller en perspektief, tyd en ruimte. / Dissertation (MA)--University of Pretoria, 2013. / gm2014 / Afrikaans / unrestricted

Placemaking is an approach to designing urban spaces based on their existing values and identities. It has emerged as a response to citizens wishing to have an active role in the planning process and influence the development of their own surroundings. Placemaking often occurs from spontaneous consequences, with a diverse range of urban stakeholders involved in the process. Leading these complex processes has required local authorities to rethink their approach to urban governance. Despite municipalities being key actors in placemaking contexts, their role in the process is not well understood. Through a comparative case study of Amsterdam, Berlin and Copenhagen, this thesis examines how local authorities have interpreted and contributed to placemaking. The cities are analysed with a theoretical framework consisting of their governance structures, spatial leadership roles, placemaking tools and facilitation of public participation. The results indicate that municipalities interpret placemaking to involve public participation in a place-bound approach. A wide range of stakeholders were identified to be involved in the placemaking process, including local authorities, artists, neighbourhood associations, leisure time clubs, civic interest groups and private property developers. The roles of these actors were found to vary greatly from project to project. The study concludes that – despite some opportunistic flexibility – the municipalities of Amsterdam, Berlin and Copenhagen generally take on a more observing, follower-dominant and bottom-linked role in the placemaking process. This observation implies that during the 21st century, cities have adopted a significantly more adaptive and observant role in their urban governance processes. This is especially evident within the placemaking context, which embraces the idea of co-creation and collaboration.

Les opéras de Jean-Baptiste de Lully (1632-1687) ont joui d’une diffusion européenne tant de son vivant que de manière posthume. Parmi les pays où ses opéras suscitèrent un véritable engouement, la Hollande bénéficiait d’une situation particulière. En effet, les opéras ont paru aussi bien dans les théâtres que dans l’édition musicale. Concernant l’édition musicale, la ville d’Amsterdam occupa un rôle primordial, où les opéras de Lully furent publiés non seulement en partitions générales et réduites, mais aussi en extraits vocaux et instrumentaux, dont les derniers ont pu être considérés comme les suites instrumentales. Celles-ci constituent un corpus exceptionnel dans la diffusion de l’opéra de Lully, car elles sont arrangées en 4 parties au lieu des 5 originairement présentées et ont joué un rôle intermédiaire entre l’opéra français et la suite d’orchestre allemande. Parmi les éditeurs contribuant à ce phénomène, il faut notamment distinguer un éditeur ayant exercé le commerce extensif : Estienne Roger (1665/66 - 1722). Au sein des recherches sur Roger, la publication de la musique instrumentale italienne et le commerce international représentaient deux enjeux majeurs. Pourtant, la place de la musique française dans ses éditions n’a pas suffisamment été évaluée, bien qu’elle ait atteint jusqu’à un tiers. Cette thèse traite de la particularité commerciale et éditoriale de ce domaine, en se focalisant sur les suites provenant des opéras de Lully. Trois points seront mis en examen : avantage de Roger en tant que libraire huguenot, son utilisation des catalogues lors de la vente des œuvres de Lully, caractéristiques musicales des suites par le biais de l’arrangement. / The operas of Jean-Baptiste de Lully (1632-1687) enjoyed a European diffusion both during his lifetime and posthumously. Among the countries where his operas aroused a real enthusiasm, Holland enjoyed a special situation. Indeed, the operas appeared both in theaters and in music publishing. Concerning musical publishing, the city of Amsterdam occupied a primordial role, where Lully's operas were published not only in scores, but also in vocal and instrumental extracts, the last of which could be considered as the instrumental suites. These suites constitute an exceptional corpus in the diffusion of Lully's opera, as they are arranged in 4 parts instead of the 5 originally presented and played an intermediate role between the French opera and the German orchestra suite. Among the publishers contributing to this phenomenon, we must distinguish a publisher who has carried out the extensive marketing: Estienne Roger (1665/66 - 1722). In the researches about Roger, the publication of Italian instrumental music and international trade were two major issues. Yet the place of French music in his editions has not been sufficiently evaluated, although it has reached as much as a third. This thesis deals with the commercial and editorial character of this field, focusing on the suites resulting from the Lully’s operas. Three points will be examined: Roger's advantage as a Huguenot bookseller, his use of catalogs in the sale of Lully's works, musical features of the suites through the arrangement.
