The captivating painting of Helene Schjerfbeck, Fête juive / Lehtimajanjuhla (1883), is considered to this day an exceptional piece of art with significant cultural value. It already carries great ...value, aside from its artistic quality and how it showcases the Jewish feast of Sukkot. What is not evident from simply looking at the artwork, however, is the intriguing background story to the fate of its models – more specifically, that of its female model, Chava Slavatitsky, and the ‘scandal’ connected with her story. Her name became known all over Finland, as it gained significant attention from the local press, perhaps mainly as it occurred during the turbulent times of the late nineteenth century when the question of Jewish emancipation in Finland was frequently discussed in society. This article aims to briefly introduce the reader to Schjerfbeck’s motivation in creating the painting and to its representation of the Sukkot 140 years ago, as well as aiming to tell the extraordinary story of its relatively unknown young sitter, including her abduction and conversion to Christianity. Hence, this contribution aims to provide an addendum to the Jewish history of the country in the late 1800s and to briefly reflect on the nature of Jewish–Christian relations of the era.
Niniejszy artykuł stanowi propozycję odczytania poezji Teresy Ferenc przez pryzmat feministycznej polityki żałoby. Posługując się pojęciem „stygmatekstu”, ukutym przez Hélène Cixous, wskazuję, że w ...centrum wyobraźni twórczej poetki znajduje się otwarta rana. Figura ta odsyła ona nie tylko do tragedii, jaką była pacyfikacja Soch, rodzinnej wsi poetki, ale też do szczególnie rozumianej, ponadjednostkowej więzi z matką. Matczyność funkcjonuje bowiem u Ferenc jako synekdocha stygmatyzowanej inności. Poezja otwartych ran staje się zatem nieodzownym elementem programu etycznego Ferenc, wymierzonego w fallogocentryczną logikę wojny, śmierci i zniszczenia.
Jeudi 17 juin, l’Association des bibliothécaires de France (ABF) inaugurait son 66e congrès le jour même où le président de la République, Emmanuel Macron, déclarait la lecture grande cause ...nationale. De bons auspices pour cette édition réalisée entièrement en distanciel. Bilan de l’expérience avec Hélène Brochard, responsable de la commission Vie de l’Association de l’ABF, qui coordonnait l’organisation du congrès.
Este artículo propone una aproximación transdisciplinar a la problemática de la identidad, más concretamente, a la cuestión de la identidad enmascarada, construida y representada por el ...individuoactor en el gran teatro de la vida con otros y entre otros. A través de una de las obras más destacadas de Hélène Lenoir, Son nom d'avant, trataremos de exponer de qué modo los personajes intentan adaptarse a los roles sociales impuestos por una antigua tradición familiar; la forma en la que van ajustando sus identidades sociales en función de las exigencias situacionales. Las relaciones sociales aparecen así como fuente de malestar o de tormento de unos personajes continuamente divididos entre sus << identidades reales >> (Goffman, 1977), conformadas por los deseos y aspiraciones personales, y sus << identidades sociales >> (Goffman, 1977), construidas a partir de las exigencias y regulaciones del grupo, de la familia o vecindario, o simplemente, del otro.

Slovenski prevod je pri Znanstveni založbi Filozofske fakultete izšel letos; besedilo je prevedel Darko Čuden, uredil ...Vojko Gorjanc, avtorice obeh poglavij, namenjenih slovenščini, so Monika Kalin Golob, Nataša Gliha Komac in Nataša Logar. Izvirne ilustracije je prispeval Lan Seušek.
Background: Climate models project that heat waves will increase in frequency and severity. Despite many studies of mortality from heat waves, few studies have examined morbidity. Objectives: In this ...study we investigated whether any age or race/ethnicity groups experienced increased hospitalizations and emergency department (ED) visits overall or for selected illnesses during the 2006 California heat wave. Methods: We aggregated county-level hospitalizations and ED visits for all causes and for 10 cause groups into six geographic regions of California. We calculated excess morbidity and rate ratios (RRs) during the heat wave (15 July to 1 August 2006) and compared these data with those of a reference period (8-14 July and 12-22 August 2006). Results: During the heat wave, 16,166 excess ED visits and 1,182 excess hospitalizations occurred statewide. ED visits for heat-related causes increased across the state RR = 6.30; 95% confidence interval (CI), 5.67-7.01, especially in the Central Coast region, which includes San Francisco. Children (0-4 years of age) and the elderly (≥ 65 years of age) were at greatest risk. ED visits also showed significant increases for acute renal failure, cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, electrolyte imbalance, and nephritis. We observed significantly elevated RRs for hospitalizations for heat-related illnesses (RR = 10.15; 95% CI,7.79-13.43), acute renal failure, electrolyte imbalance, and nephritis. Conclusions: The 2006 California heat wave had a substantial effect on morbidity, including regions with relatively modest temperatures. This suggests that population acclimatization and adaptive capacity influenced risk. By better understanding these impacts and population vulnerabilities, local communities can improve heat wave preparedness to cope with a globally warming future.
