E-Journals - Inside and Out

Lynn C. Westney

Editor


 
On the first of the year Professor Westney retired from the University of Illinois at Chicago with over 25 years of service as a reference librarian in the Richard J. Daley Library. She has not retired from JAHC, however, and will continue to disseminate selective information on the contents of freely accessible (no subscription required) e-journals and other e-publications.

The Journal of the Association for History and Computing, JAHC, has as its focus the applications of electronic technologies into the historical profession. By its very nature history is an interdisciplinary profession. Historians must be open and receptive to the ideas presented in all disciplines if they are to present, as accurately as possible, history from all its diverse perspectives. Thus, an additional purpose of this column is to present to the readers of JAHC the issues, controversies, and trends that are impacting interdisciplinary and international research within history, computing, and allied disciplines as evidenced within current electronic publications.

Commentary and queries should be addressed to lynnhatt@uic.edu.

E-JOURNALS


 
As JAHC begins its eleventh year of publication this column highlights eleven new e- journals that began publication during the last three years. Entries are listed in alphabetical order by journal title.

Baconiana - The Online Journal of the Francis Bacon Society (Inc.)

http://www.baconsocietyinc.org/baconianagate.htm


 
Published by the Francis Bacon Society, Baconiana publishes articles related to the Society's interests. Having been a printed journal since the foundation of the Society in 1886, Baconiana is now an electronic journal and began the new format by renumbering with volume one, number one. It has a long tradition of reviving old articles and matters of historic interest to Baconians, often including articles that travel quite far from the confines of Bacon, Shakespeare and Elizabethan literature. Articles are available in HTML.

Bonham's Case, Judicial Review, and the Law of Nature by R. H. Helmholz.

https://ojs.hup.harvard.edu/index.php/jla/article/view/5/9

Bonham's Case (1610) as reported by Sir Edward Coke has often been regarded as an early instance of judicial review of legislation. Lawyers, particularly in the United States, have taken it as a common law precedent for permitting judges to strike down unconstitutional statutes. Using contemporary evidence from English and Continental legal works, this article contends that Bonham's Case actually rested upon then commonly accepted principles of the law of nature, and that those principles stopped short of embracing judicial review in the modern sense.

Propp’s ‘Tale Role’ and ‘Characters’, and Two Assamese Folktales by Mrinal Medhi.

Vladimir Propp, with his influential book, The Morphology of the Folktale (first published in Russian in 1928 and translated into English in 1958) made remarkable contributions to the study of folktales. This work has exerted great effect on folkloristics in general and on the study of oral narratives in particular. The work begins by rejecting the taxonomy of tales according to their ‘types’ by Antti Aarne (1910) and is based on the premise that the correct method of investigation is the study on the basis of small component parts [of tales].
