This article brings together two central episodes in Thucydides' History of the Peloponnesian War. The interpreted episodes are the Mytilenean Debate in Book III and the Melian Dialogue in Book V of the History. In the present study, these episodes are approached as original inquiries into moral and political matters, assuming the shape of subversive social criticism: immanent critique. A particular focus lies on the socio-political ordering principles scrutinized in the Thucydidean episodes. In the Mytilenean Debate, it is the principle of expediency (τὸ ξύμφορον) that is given the upper hand, whereas in the Melian dialogue the dominating social ordering principle is that of safety and survival (σωτηρία). In each episode, a contending point of view aims at undermining the pre-eminence of the stronger principle. However, the critique only succeeds if the subversion is managed from within, and if it pays outward allegiance to the frames determined by the supreme communal will.

Corría in 2018 and university teachers and academics ended the first four months with a salary agreement due on 28 February and the national government insisted on offering an increase well below inflation rates. Without any possible progress in the negotiation, the teaching associations launched a National University Consultation on the force measures to take forward, which decided, by a large majority, not to start classes from the second four-month period as a measure of strength. As a result, a nationwide unemployment of university teachers began on 6 August, which would last for more than a month in all public universities. In Córdoba, on the same day, a multitude gathered in front of the Argentinian Pavilion to abrade the UNC. The action had been proposed by the Association of University Teachers and Researchers of Córdoba (ADIUC) to start the protest, and had quickly secured the accession of students and university authorities. ; Corría el año 2018 y las y los docentes universitarias/os finalizábamos el primer cuatrimestre con un acuerdo salarial vencido el 28 de febrero y el gobierno nacional insistía en ofrecer un aumento muy por debajo de los índices de inflación. Sin avances posibles en la negociación, los gremios docentes lanzaron una Consulta Nacional Universitaria sobre las medidas de fuerza a llevar adelante que resolvió, por amplia mayoría, no iniciar las clases del segundo cuatrimestre como medida de fuerza. De ese modo, el 6 de agosto comenzó un paro nacional de docentes universitarios en todo el país, que se prolongaría por más de un mes en todas las universidades públicas. En Córdoba, ese mismo día, una multitud se congregó frente al Pabellón Argentina para abrazar a la UNC. La acción había sido propuesta por la Asociación de Docentes e Investigadores Universitarios de Córdoba (ADIUC) para dar inicio a la protesta, y rápidamente había logrado la adhesión de estudiantes y autoridades de la universidad.

Abstract
This article presents the Networked Pantheon, a relational database of biographies of globally famous people spanning the last 5,500 years of human history. This information source is intended to complement Pantheon 1.0 (Yu et al., 2016), a dataset that includes temporal, spatial, gender, and occupational information on 11,341 world-renowned people – defined as those who have biographies available in more than 25 languages on Wikipedia. The Networked Pantheon adds information about the biographical links between these historical figures, compiled from hyperlinks between the biographies in the English Wikipedia. This digital method enables techniques from network analysis to be used in studying the biographical relationships between globally famous people. Thus, distinct measures of historical centrality can be calculated for individuals, cities, countries, genders, and occupations. The Networked Pantheon includes indicators of figure centrality in the network of biographical references and provides an approximation of the information flows between various territories, genders, and occupations of famous people over time.

At the end of the nineteenth century, Canada's prairies were still sparsely populated. Crimes such as horse theft, random murders, and prison escapes were the order of the day, and the North West Mounted Police continued to rely on their horses, their contacts, and their wits to apprehend the culprits. By the mid-1930s, a sea change in technology and police science had changed the game. Major advances in transportation, communications, and sleuthing techniques made crime-solving a new art--but the criminals also had access to the new ways.The US had Bonnie and Clyde, and John Dillinger, but Canada had its fair share of bad apples committing equally vicious crimes: a serial rapist and strangler who most often chose female proprietors of rooming houses as his victims; a father-and-son murder team, tracked by an enterprising detective all the way to Kentucky; and a group of murderous youths who sparked a manhunt across two provinces and a bloody shootout resulting in the deaths of four policemen. These stories offer an intriguing look at the skill, determination, and bravery of Prairie law enforcers as they risked their all to bring ruthless outlaws to justice
