A critical mapping of the multiplicities of Finnish artist and technology pioneer Erkki Kurenniemi—composer of electronic music, experimental filmmaker, inventor, collector, futurologist.
Over the ...past forty years, Finnish artist and technology pioneer Erkki Kurenniemi (b. 1941) has been a composer of electronic music, experimental filmmaker, computer animator, roboticist, inventor, and futurologist. Kurenniemi is a hybrid—a scientist-humanist-artist. Relatively unknown outside Nordic countries until his 2012 Documenta 13 exhibition, ”In 2048,” Kurenniemi may at last be achieving international recognition. This book offers an excavation, a critical mapping, and an elaboration of Kurenniemi's multiplicities.
The contributors describe Kurenniemi's enthusiastic, and rather obsessive, recording of everyday life and how this archiving was part of his process; his exploratory artistic practice, with productive failure an inherent part of his method; his relationship to scientific and technological developments in media culture; and his work in electronic and digital music, including his development of automated composition systems and his “video-organ,” DIMI-O. A “Visual Archive,” a section of interviews with the artist, and a selection of his original writings (translated and published for the first time) further document Kurenniemi's achievements. But the book is not just about one artist in his time; it is about emerging media arts, interfaces, and archival fever in creative practices, read through the lens of Kurenniemi.
Celem artykułu jest zaprezentowanie wyników analizy korespondencji ks. prof. Wincentego Myszora z naukowymi instytucjami zagranicznymi i osobami prywatnymi przechowywanej w Archiwum Archidiecezjalnym ...w Katowicach. Badania miały charakter historyczny oraz bibliologiczny i przeprowadzono je przy użyciu przede wszystkim metod analizy zawartości, a także badania dokumentów. Materiały pochodziły z 6 jednostek spuścizny o sygnaturach od 169/1 do 169/6 z lat 1974-2008. Analiza zawartości treści archiwaliów pozwoliła scharakteryzować wyjazdy ks. W. Myszora na staże naukowe, kwerendy biblioteczne, kongresy, konferencje, sympozja międzynarodowe, wykłady gościnne. Wymieniono też międzynarodowe organizacje i stowarzyszenia, do których należał ks. W. Myszor. Wszystkie te fakty opisano w porządku rzeczowym, a następnie chronologiczno-topograficznym.Ustalono, że ks. W. Myszor wyjeżdżał na staże, prowadził kwerendy, wygłaszał wykłady w Johann-Adam-Möhler-Institut für Ökumenik w Paderborn, Franz Joseph Dölger-Institut zur Erforschung der Spätantike der Universität Bonn, Johannes Gutenberg Universität Mainz. Ksiądz W. Myszor jako znany koptolog wziął udział w Międzynarodowym Kongresie Koptologicznym (International Colloquium on the Future of Coptic Studies), który odbył się w Kairze w 1976 roku. Wyjazdy umożliwiły mu nawiązanie kontaktów z naukowcami zagranicznymi oraz pozwoliły na późniejszą organizację konferencji, odczytów w Polsce z udziałem badaczy m.in. z Niemiec i Francji.
W artykule przedstawiono okoliczności współpracy międzynarodowej ks. prof. Wincentego Myszora (1941-2017). Ks. W. Myszor był wykładowcą warszawskiej Akademii Teologii Katolickiej oraz Wydziału ...Teologicznego Uniwersytetu Śląskiego w Katowicach. Analizy treści dokumentów dokonano przy użyciu metod historycznej, biograficznej i bibliograficznej. Materiał badawczy pochodzi z 6. zespołów spuścizny o sygnaturach od 169/1 do 169/6 z lat 1970-2008 przechowywanych w Archiwum Archidiecezjalnym w Katowicach. W artykule opisano: okoliczności ukazania się tekstów ks. W. Myszora w „Enchoria. Zeitschrift für Demotistik und Koptologie” i „Jahrbuchs für Antike und Christentum”; relacje ks. W. Myszora z redakcjami „Aufstieg und Niedergang der römischen Welt. Geschichte und Kultur Roms im Spiegel der Neueren Forschung”, „Reallexikon für Antike und Christentum. Sachwörterbuch zur Auseinandersetzung des Christentums mit der antiken Welt”, The Coptic Encyclopaedia, Lexikons für Theologie und Kirche oraz związki z redakcjami czasopism („Bibliotheca Orientalis”, „Chronique d’Egypte”, „Orientalia”). W drugiej części tekstu scharakteryzowano kontakty ks. W. Myszora z: „Bibliographia Patristica. Internationale patristische Bibliographie”, działem bibliograficznym w „Enchoria. Zeitschrift für Demotistik und Koptologie”, Davidem M. Scholerem – autororem Nag Hammadi Bibliography. Odtworzone losy międzynarodowych relacji ks. W. Myszora wpisują się w nurt badań poświęconych historii kontaktów polskich badaczy z naukowcami z Zachodu zapoczątkowanych w okresie PRL-u.

In 1973, Abdulah Alkhamesi decided to set up the Yemen Red Crescent Society from inside his private clinic. Alkhamesi was familiar with work of the Red Crescent in neighbouring countries, said his ...friend Yahia AlBabily, and he thought it was needed in Yemen to provide services to the country's poor.
It is with great sadness that this publication announce that Dr. Richard (Dick) Schmidt passed away on Wednesday, Mar 15, 2017. In addition to being an internationally-renowned applied linguist, ...Schmidt was a central figure in the founding and success of Language Learning & Technology. He worked collaboratively to make LLT what it is today. Schmidt's career spanned three fields: international service, linguistics, and second language acquisition. After receiving his BA in Social Relations at Harvard University in 1963, he worked as a US Foreign Service officer and director of the J. F. Kennedy Cultural Center & Library in Beirut from 1965 to 1969. He then returned to Brown University where he received MA (1971) and PhD (1974) degrees in linguistics, focusing on the sociolinguistics of Arabic. In 1976, he took a faculty position in the Department of English as a Second Language at the University of Hawai‘i at Manoa, where he remained until 2011.
Massimo Quaini (1941-2017) was one of the most eminent figures in geography. A group of scholars dedicate this book to him in order to keep unwinding, in the world’s labyrinth, the thread of his ...reflections, that placed geography among territorial sciences making them object of civil commitment. His critical, transdisciplinary thinking did never recognize boundaries but only fruitful differences of perspective: his highest legacy, perhaps, lays in this impulse to integrate different skills (of historians, poets, archaeologists, ecologists, planners…) to return the world’s places their value. This is therefore not a typical ‘in memoriam’ book on Quaini’s topics but, as we dare say, a book with Quaini.

A leading public intellectual, Michael Bliss has written prolifically for academic and popular audiences and taught at the University of Toronto from 1968 to 2006. Among his publications are a ...comprehensive history of the discovery of insulin, and major biographies of Frederick Banting, William Osler, and Harvey Cushing. The essays in this volume, each written by former doctoral students of Bliss, with a foreword by John Fraser and Elizabeth McCallum, do honour to his influence, and, at the same time, reflect upon the writing of history in Canada at the end of the twentieth century.
The opening essays discuss Bliss's career, his impact on the study of history, and his academic record. Bliss himself contributes an autobiographical essay that strengthens our understanding of the business of scholarship, teaching, and writing. In the second section, the contributors interrogate public mythmaking in the relationship between politics and business in eighteenth-, nineteenth-, and twentieth-century Canada. Further sections investigate the relationship between fatherhood, religion, and historiography, as well as topics in health and public policy. A final section on 'Medical Science and Practice' deals with subjects ranging from early endocrinology, lobotomy, the mechanical heart, and medical biography as a genre. Going beyond a collection of dedicatory essays, this volume explores the wider subject of writing social and medical history in Canada in the late twentieth century.
