Vision de Varnava. Înțăleptului Varnava minunată arătare a vederii lui cu pildă tuturor
Du sage Varnava la merveilleuse apparition de sa vision avec exemple pour tous, cette traduction-recréation roumaine en vers du Dialogus du poète baroque hongrois Nyéki Vörös Mátyas, effectuée en Transylvanie en 1670, peut être considérée comme la première œuvre du pope Ioan de Vintz. Sur le plan européen, sa Vision de Varnava représente le dernier chaînon – d’une grande originalité, à travers l’invention du personnage-témoin du « sage Varnava », un hapax littéraire absolu – du modèle littéraire multiséculaire qu’incarne la vision sur la dispute de l’âme avec le corps. Le texte poétique roumain de 1670 nous apparaît ainsi comme le point d’orgue d’une tradition littéraire qui tend un énorme arc de cercle, dans l’espace et dans le temps, entre l’Orient orthodoxe d’expression grecque des quatre premiers siècles de l’ère chrétienne, foisonnant d’apocryphes apocalyptiques, et l’Occident catholique, fondateur des universités où la scolastique reprend et développe la renaissance byzantine, puis réformé, et finalement multiconfessionnel. Une tradition littéraire qui, s’adaptant à toutes les confessions qu’elle traverse, en les surpassant, et à tous les arts et genres artistiques, nous révèle, à travers ses inflexions baroques au XVIIe siècle, l’efflorescence de la conscience individuelle face à l’éternel problème de la mort
Sharing the Secrets of a Rare Book Collection: Explore - Describe - Connect
Many libraries hold rare book collections and they maintain and explore them with special attention, usually by following international standards. Over time, extensive knowledge has been accumulated about these books. However, the intensity of research on these collections can vary. My library's rare book project presented here is based on the following premises: We do not consider historical books merely as written and pictorial media from past eras, but as objects whose characteristics such as state of preservation, provenance, additions (annotations, owner's notes, ex-libris), and individual features such as binding, edges, printing errors, etc., provide a wealth of historical data. This (codicological) data can be relevant to research questions outside the library domain. It is the noblest task of any library not only to collect this data, but also to make it available for experts without restriction and to secure it for further use. Can digital technology help to go beyond what has already been achieved?
For more than ten years, every work in our collection has been subjected to an in-depth analysis. All of the aforementioned codicological data, but also, for example, findings that have emerged in the course of restoration and conservation, are recorded in a database designed specifically for this purpose. In this way, a considerable amount of knowledge has been accumulated over the years. Thus, by digitizing our Rare Book Collection, we have considerably expanded the sector of metadata and are now adding the codicological data. Crucially, all this information is not only displayed, but is also searchable. As next steps, it is prepared to map the codicological data with authority files and thus to achieve a further and higher level of interoperability. The obvious consequence to advance into the LOD system and generate corresponding interoperable entities and identities based on the collected data is being planned
No Country for Old Women: Age, Power, and Beauty in Neil Gaiman's Fantasies
This essay uses Neil Gaiman's Stardust, The Sleeper and the Spindle, and "Chivalry," to examine the intersection of age and gender in his fairy-tale appropriations to consider how fantasy can reiterate stereotypical representations of older women. By drawing on the age studies work of Sylvia Henneberg and Susan Pickard to consider ageism as a cross-section to gendered constructions in Gaiman's works, I make visible how age affects perception and construction of gender, which can lead to the intertwining of age stereotypes and gendered double standards
The Early Modern Book of Numbers
A book's a book, and numbers are numbers, right? Well, maybe. For the Shakespeare Association of America seminar on "Counting (in) Early Modern Drama," I proposed to give myself the task of understanding and then communicating the technological underpinnings of a digital facsimile. One specific question I wanted to address, with the help of media archaeology, digital forensics, and glitch art is, "Are EEBO PDFs and Google Books really just numbers all the way down?
La automatización capitalista: exageraciones y la necesidad de la crítica tecnológica
En los últimos meses se ha exponenciado el discurso fetichista de la llamada inteligencia artificial. La ausencia de crítica propicia a no ver las condiciones materiales que la propician y el trabajo detrás de ella. Además, los escenarios futuristas, distópicos impiden ver lo que ya se hace con la tecnología. Quienes mueven y fomentan las aplicaciones de la IA, ML, DL tienen nombre y apellido, gastan millones de dólares en promover la automatización, que no es que más la tendencia histórica del capitalism
