Cast as Written: Protestant Missionaries and their Translation of Molimo as the Christian God in 19th-century Southern Africa by Sepetla Molapo

“…The result of this departure of molimo from the material to personal interiority is the reorganization of the relationship between space and time. The essay argues that molimo's departure from the material to personal interiority privileges space over time because, reconstituted as the Christian God, molimo gets cast in the language of writing. …”

An Update to the Central England Temperature Series—HadCET v2.1 by Tim Legg, Stephen Packman, Thomas Caton Harrison, Mark McCarthy

“…HadCET is a composite series produced by the Met Office Hadley Centre, using data from a succession of observing sites for which the data have been adjusted to remove inhomogeneities to be consistent with the original long running series and be updated in near real time. This paper documents a technical update to the HadCET which is referred to as HadCET version 2 (v2), and at time of publication v2.1.0.0 is the latest available version.…”

Sir James Fitzjames Stephen (1829-1894) : un intellectuel sceptique, critique des idées libérales de son temps by Catherine Hajdenko-Marshall

“…For a jurist like him, political societies could not be built on liberty but much more on force and on the subordination to law. At a time—the second half of the 19th century—when religion could not dominate societies any longer, the only way to preserve society was to impose the law and to have it respected, including through the use of force. …”

Christian ModernizationsCirculating Media Practices of the Mission along the Nile Modernisations chrétiennes. Pratiques circulantes des media le long du Nil by Martin Zillinger

“…The demand to make a complete break with the past is emphasized by the use of media (books and more recently the internet) and formats (like a creed) that are seemingly removed from the modifications of time and space. Exploring the various strategies and media-practices of Christian proselytizing along the Nile through time, this paper offers a more detailed analysis of a recent prophetic movement and its territorialisation strategies in the context of the founding of the state of South Sudan.…”
