This book outlines the trajectory from Paul Ricœur’s The Symbolism of Evil to his writings devoted to psychoanalysis, the common thread being the residue left by the subject of evil, which guided ...Ricœur to Freud. This book is a collection following two Fonds Ricœur summer workshops co-organized with the Society for Ricœur Studies at the Ricœur Archive in Paris. It is a groundbreaking work for those interested in Ricœur, Freud and religion.
Does Michelangelo’s art reflect Catholic orthodoxy or is it the work of a follower of the Reformation, forced to act in secret? The question of Michelangelo’s religious beliefs is still debated, and ...the positions taken tend to remain unilateral. This volume gathers contributions by art historians, literary scholars, and historians of religion who address this question in all its complexity.
Under the name satura, this volume examines a "monstrous" text tradition characterized by mixed forms and intertextual hypertrophy. In studies on authors like Lucilius, Varro, Horace, Petronius, ...Hamann, and Jean Paul, Sina Dell’Anno takes a new perspective on this tradition by focusing her attention on the notorious formlessness of satirical texts as the engine of her autophilological poetics.
במאמר נבחנות פרקטיקות הסיקור העיתונאי של אסון מירון, שהתרחש במהלך הילולת ל"ג בעומר במאי 1911 ובמהלכו נהרגו 11 איש ונפצעו עשרות בשל התמוטטות מעקה הגג של קבר הרשב״י. המאמר בוחן את המרחב התקשורתי ...הארץ־ישראלי שנשלט בידי שלושה עיתונים פופולריים: היומון האור בהנהגת אליעזר בן־יהודה ובנו איתמר בן־אבי, העיתון החירות שהופיע ארבע פעמים בשבוע ונערך בידי קבוצת צעירים ספרדים בהנהגת המו"ל משה עזריאל והעורך חיים בן עטר, והשבועון האורתודוקסי מוריה בעריכת י"י ילין. שלושת העיתונים הושפעו מטכניקות סיקור סיפורי אסונות בעיתונות הפופולרית האירופית והאמריקנית. הם עשו שימוש בכותרות ענק ותת־כותרות סנסציוניות שנועדו לקריאה בקול רם ברחובות בפי מוכרי העיתונים, הציפו את דפי העיתונים בכתבות שנוסחו בשפה פשוטה, סיפורית, רגשית, מלודרמטית וספקטקולרית. הם הציגו באופן מוגזם ומועצם תיאורי זוועה מזירת האסון מתוך כוונה לרגש, לזעזע ולהפחיד, אבל גם ליצור קתרזיס
לצד תיאורי הזוועה נבחנים סיקורי פעולות החילוץ וההצלה, המעוצבים כסיפורים הרואיים ובמרכזם גיבורים יוצאי דופן. לבסוף נבחן במאמר הממד הביקורתי של העיתונות הפופולרית, פרקטיקת חיפוש הסיבות לאסון וזיהוי האשמים.
לצד שאלת טכניקת הסיקור של העיתון הפופולרי ועיצוב סיפור האסון על רבדיו השונים, נבחנות שאלות משנה: מי היו כתבי העיתונות וכיצד פעלו, באילו אמצעים הגיע המידע למערכת, באילו טכניקות עריכה השתמשו וכיצד התנהלה התחרות בין העיתונים שחיפשו את הסיפור הבלעדי. ולבסוף, האם הייתה לעיתונות הפופולרית השפעה על תיקון פגמים וקלקלות בחברה הארץ־ישראלית?
This article examines journalistic coverage of the Meron disaster, which occurred during the religious festival of Lag Ba-Omer in May 1911 at the Tomb of Rabbi Shimon Bar Yochai on Har Meron, near Safed. Eleven people died, and forty people were injured after the balcony railing of the tomb collapsed. We look at the local Hebrew media in Palestine, a system dominated by three major newspapers: the daily Ha-Or edited by Eliezer Ben Yehuda and his son Itamar Ben Avi; Ha-Herut, published four times a week and edited by young Sephardic Jews headed by Moshe Azriel and Haim Ben Atar; and the weekly Moria, edited by Y. Y. Yelin. The first two represented the new Yishuv, with the population supporting modernization and progress, while the third spoke for the old Yishuv.
All three were influenced by the Popular Disaster Stories Editing technique, developed by the European and American popular press. Such events were described simply and dramatically, demonstrating the helplessness of the little man in the face of a sudden danger that threatens to exterminate him. Behind these accounts lurked a deterministic worldview. Man stands defenseless against the mighty forces of nature and the power of fate. The dramatic and visual power invested in the presentation of the story instills empathy and existential angst in the reader. It also offers the reader a form of catharsis.
How did the Hebrew newspapers cover the Meron event? How did they gather the information? Did they communicate a pessimistic and deterministic point of view about the disaster, or did they adopt an investigative and critical approach? And did the intense competition between the three newspapers contribute to conveying a more precise rendering of the event?
How the use of machine learning to analyze art images has revived formalism in art history, presenting a golden opportunity for art historians and computer scientists to learn from one another.Though ...formalism is an essential tool for art historians, much recent art history has focused on the social and political aspects of art. But now art historians are adopting machine learning methods to develop new ways to analyze the purely visual in datasets of art images. Amanda Wasielewski uses the term “computational formalism” todescribe this use of machine learning and computer vision technique in art historical research. At the same time that art historians are analyzing art images in new ways, computer scientists are using art images for experiments in machine learning and computer vision. Their research, says Wasielewski, would be greatly enriched by the inclusion of humanistic issues.The main purpose in applying computational techniques such as machine learning to art datasets is to automate the process of categorization using metrics such as style, a historically fraught concept in art history. After examining a fifteen-year trajectory in image categorization and art dataset creation in the fields of machine learning and computer vision, Wasielewski considers deep learning techniques that both create and detect forgeries and fakes in art. She investigates examples of art historical analysis in the fields of computer and information sciences, placing this research in the context of art historiography. She also raises questions as which artworks are chosen for digitization, and of those artworks that are born digital, which works gain acceptance into the canon of high art.
This study presents a wearable antenna for a global positioning system–global system for mobile communication (GPS–GSM)-based anti-theft tracking system to be embedded in high-cost clothing and ...luggage accessories (such as leather bags). To assess the feasibility of this solution, a prototype antenna was designed mimicking the shape of one of the Levi Strauss & Co.’s logos, and it was fabricated using a conductive non-woven fabric on a layer of leather. Furthermore, to cover both the GPS L1 and the GSM-1800 bands with a single radiating element, positive-intrinsic-negative (PIN) diodes were employed to reconfigure the operating frequency of the antenna. Experimental data demonstrating the feasibility of the proposed design strategy are presented and discussed.
This article discusses the production, dissemination, and reception of metrical psalms by Francis and Christopher Davison, using a full range of textual witnesses in manuscript and print. Although ...these metrical psalms have been well known through their transcriptions by the scribe Ralph Crane, the variety and extent of their material texts have not beenrecognised in previous scholarship. By paying attention to their contexts in manuscript and print, the article shows how a ‘book historical’ approach to early modern psalms informs us of many key issues in studies of early modern psalms. The Davison psalms were popular texts that attracted the attention of their readers and disseminators in various ways: initially circulated as devotional texts, they later found a home in far more miscellaneous contexts, where their copyists felt free to intervene and alter the texts as they saw fit. The Davison psalms may still remain minor texts in comparison with the most important early modern psalters, but their textual remains remind of how the period’s ‘psalm culture’ was sustained as much by eager readers as it was by enthusiastic authors.
Histories of Infamy Roa-de-la-Carrera, Cristián A; Sessions, Scott

"Roa-de-la-Carrera convincingly shows that Gómara, as well as other historians in the period, cannot easily ignore nor erase the contradictions of the Spanish colonial project."-Luis Fernando ...Restrepo, University of Arkansas
"In an eloquent and thorough exegesis, Roa-de-la-Carrera reveals how and why López de Gómara, having written the best of all possible books in exultation of Spanish imperialism, nevertheless failed to convince the readers of his time."-Susan Schroeder, Tulane University
InHistories of Infamy, Cristián Roa-de-la-Carrera explores Francisco López de Gómara's (1511-ca.1559) attempt to ethically reconcile Spain's civilizing mission with the conquistadors' abuse and exploitation of Native peoples.
The most widely read account of the conquest in its time, Gómara'sHistoria general de las Indias y Conquista de Méxicorationalized the conquistadors' crimes as unavoidable evils in the task of bringing "civilization" to the New World. Through an elaborate defense of Spanish imperialism, Gómara aimed to convince his readers of the merits of the conquest, regardless of the devastation it had wrought upon Spain's new subjects. Despite his efforts, Gómara's apologist text quickly fell into disrepute and became ammunition for Spain's critics. Evaluating the effectiveness of ideologies of colonization, Roa-de-la-Carrera's analysis will appeal to scholars in colonial studies and readers interested in the history of the Americas.
This volume is a revised edition of the only modern translation of the whole of Epiphanius' description and refutation of heresies. It deals with the Trinity, the Person of Christ, monasticism and ...other vital fourth century concerns, and is a participant's account of the period.
