Judson holds the Chair in Nineteenth and Twentieth Century History at the European University Institute in Florence. His bracing account could provide an overarching alternative framework to guide the growing number o f narrower, more detailed revisionist histories o f the Habsburgs. Judson Harvard University Press The Habsburg Empire A New History Pieter M. The empire’s ability to inspire a transcendent identity and tolerate diversity should be the dominant lens through which its history is viewed, Judson argues. On the contrary, he argues, from the last hal f o f the eighteenth century (when Empress Maria Theresa instituted crucial reforms) until the empire’s demise in World War I, the Habsburg dynasty successfully enlisted a vast array o f territories and subjects in its enlightened “e ff orts to be a uni fi ed and unifying imperial state.” The monarchy’s legal reforms, institutional innovations, and cultural fl exibility created a symbiotic relationship between citizens-even the peasantry-and the regime, not least because whatever their linguistic and religious di ff erences, subjects were allowed to “appropriate” or “reinterpret” Vienna’s will in ways that served local interests. ![]() Judson turns on its head the traditional understanding o f the Habsburg empire as a decrepit anachronism doomed by the long-simmering nationalist urges o f disparate ethnic groups. ![]() ![]() To analyze the practices, we compared them with the discourses on the model and the traditional prison model. ![]() ![]() Finally, a participatory observation with an ethnographic method was carried out in two of the units of the model, using the field diary and open and semi-structured interviews. Later, we studied the APAC model through texts describing it and a review of research literature in Brazil and Italy. To study this model, which aims to reduce the recidivism of the more than 40,000 people who have gone below 20%, we have therefore conducted a bibliographical survey to learn about the traditional model of prison, focusing in particular on the situation in Brazil. This research analyzes the pedagogical conception of the model of restriction and deprivation of liberty policy implemented by the Association for the Protection and Assistance of Convicted Persons (APAC), which calls itself educational, seeking to verify whether it is a new model or a sophistication of the traditional one. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Marineland has not returned NPR's multiple messages seeking comment. ![]() Ross told CBC that animal welfare officials had conducted a necropsy of the mammal.
