Contrary to popular belief, Lorem Ipsum is not simply random text. It has roots in a piece of classical Latin literature from 45 BC, making it over 2000 years old. Richard McClintock, a Latin professor at Hampden-Sydney College in Virginia, looked up one of the more obscure Latin words, consectetur, from a Lorem Ipsum passage, and going through the cites of the word in classical literature, discovered the undoubtable source. Lorem Ipsum comes from sections 1.10.32 and 1.10.33 of “de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum” (The Extremes of Good and Evil) by Cicero, written in 45 BC. This book is a treatise on the theory of ethics, very popular during the Renaissance. The first line of Lorem Ipsum, “Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet..”, comes from a line in section 1.10.32.

There are many variations of passages of Lorem Ipsum available, but the majority have suffered alteration in some form, by injected humour, or randomised words which don’t look even slightly believable. If you are going to use a passage of Lorem Ipsum, you need to be sure there isn’t anything embarrassing hidden in the middle of text. All the Lorem Ipsum generators on the Internet tend to repeat predefined chunks as necessary, making this the first true generator on the Internet. It uses a dictionary of over 200 Latin words, combined with a handful of model sentence structures, to generate Lorem Ipsum which looks reasonable. The generated Lorem Ipsum is therefore always free from repetition, injected humour, or non-characteristic words etc.

Reflections on Jacoby and all that: el manuscrito inédito de E.P. Thompson

thompson_cabecera

La historia social marxista británica fue una de las corrientes intelectuales más influyentes y duraderas del siglo XX. Si bien hubo otros grupos de historiadores aglutinados en torno a perspectivas comunes o areás similares de trabajo, pocos como la que se originó en la Gran Bretaña de postguerra pueden dar evidencia de consistencia, lo que permitió que sus integrantes desarrollaran innovadores propuestas en torno a dos ideas fuerza: primero, una re-interpretación de Marx aplicada a las ciencias sociales como marco de investigación de forma más abierta y menos ortodoxa; y segundo, una orientación hacia los sectores populares, en esencia hacia el hombre y mujer comunes y corrientes, para comprende los cambios que estos habían sufrido dentro de un contexto como el de la Inglaterra de la Revolución Industrial.

De los historiadores que conformaron la historia social marxista británica, Edward P. Thompson es uno de los que más destacó, de un grupo conformado por gente de la talla de Eric Hobsbawm, Maurice Dobb, Rodney Hilton y Christopher Hill. Si bien todos ellos compartían, de un modo u otro, los dos rasgos señalados anteriormente, Thompson supo imprimirle un sello peculiar a sus obras y su forma de practicar la investigación histórica. Al igual que con otros miembros, compartía la preocupación por la economía como elemento central de la sociedad, pero privilegiaba las prácticas y experiencias de las personas al interior de un sistema determinado, algo que podía hacerlo más cercano a Hobsbawm y su predilección por la “gente corriente”.

Pero lo que más destacó de la obra de Thompson fue su decidida vocación por salir del mundo académico. Sus libros no solo fueron escritos en un lenguaje atractivo y alejado de la jerga académica cuando esta era innecesaria. Ahora que en los últimos años se ha invocado la necesidad por el “Public Historian”, especialmente después del fallecimiento de Howard Zinn, releer los trabajos de Thompson y su propuesta por una historia más abierta y de todos es una forma de conectar lo que hacemos como académicos con una agenda política en momentos de crisis como los que se viven ahora.

Para contribuir a la difusión de la obra de Thompson, presentamos un manuscrito inédito suyo que circuló hacia 1987. Además, incluimos la traducción parcial al español de la “Introducción” escrita por Carlos Aguirre, quien es responsable además de una versión anotada del mismo manuscrito. Hemos incluido los enlaces correspondientes al manuscrito de Thompson, tanto en su versión original como la anotada, que aparecieron hace unos días en History Workshop Online.
