The aim of his article is to present and interpret the second great debate in Anglo- -Saxon discipline of International Relations. The controversy was about the methods proper for inquiry into the international reality. The two sides of the debate were practitioners of historical and interpretative approach, the traditionalists or classics, and on the other side behavioralists who argued for more strict and formal scientific approach. Beginning with the genesis of the debate and the conditions that added up to its ignition, author then presents the positions of particular scholars in chronological order. The two stages of the debate are identified: the first in which the initial positions were presented and formulated, and second which took the form of fierce polemics. After the presentation of particular, and in the opinion of the author most important positions, the II debate is summed up in the context of some broader methodological, epistemological concerns. The author argues that the omission of the philosophical issues present in the II debate resulted in its inconclusiveness, and that its main controversy reappears form time to time, in different guises, being one of the causes of new debates in Anglo -Saxon International Relations.

This article reconsiders and extends the interpretation of the heterogeneity of early Anglo-Saxon (c. AD 425/50–570) cremation practices and their mnemonic and ideological significance. Cremation burials frequently contain grooming implements (combs, tweezers, razors and shears), often unburnt and sometimes fragmented. The addition of these items to graves can be explained as a strategy of ‘catalytic commemoration’ which assisted in choreographing the transformation and selective remembering and forgetting of the dead by the survivors. This article explores new evidence to reveal the varied character and fluctuating intensity of these practices among cremating communities across southern and eastern England during the fifth and sixth centuries AD. The evidence suggests new insights into how and why cremation was selected as an ideology of transformation linking the living and the dead.
