No full textRaksts tapis kā turpinājums 2024. gada septembra mēneša priekšmetam par Latvijas Universitātes (LU) Akadēmisko nozīmīti, kur uzmanība pievērsta LU Akadēmiskās nozīmītes meta autoram, LU Arhitektūras fakultātes studentam un novadpētniekam, vācbaltietim Ksaveram Andermanim. K. Andermanis ne tikai ir sniedzis ieguldījumu Latvijas etnogrāfijas pētniecībā, bet arī LU simbolu izgatavošanā, kas mūsdienās saglabā savu unikalitāti un vērtību. Meta autora piederība pie LU saimes sakņojusies jau viņa ģimenē, jo viņa tēvs ir absolvējis Rīgas Politehnisko institūtu, LU priekšteci starpkaru periodā, un strādājis LU Saimniecības padomē par inspektoru.The article is a continuation of the September 2024 Museum Object on the Academic Badge of the University of Latvia (UL), which focuses on the author of the UL Academic Badge design, the student of the Faculty of Architecture and local historian, the Baltic German Ksavers Andermanis. K. Andermanis has not only contributed to the research of Latvian ethnography, but also to the production of symbols of the UL, which today retain their uniqueness and value. The author's belonging to the UL family is rooted in his family, as his father graduated from the Riga Polytechnic Institute, the predecessor of UL during the interwar period, and worked as an inspector at the UL Economical council
Lu Xun's Revolution : Writing in a Time of Violence /
No full textRecognized as modern China’s preeminent man of letters, Lu Xun (1881–1936) is revered as the nation’s conscience, a writer comparable to Shakespeare or Tolstoy. Gloria Davies’s vivid portrait gives readers a better sense of this influential author by situating the man Mao Zedong hailed as "the sage of modern China" in his turbulent time and place.Widely recognized as modern China’s preeminent man of letters, Lu Xun (1881–1936) is revered as the voice of a nation’s conscience, a writer comparable to Shakespeare and Tolstoy in stature and influence. Gloria Davies’s portrait now gives readers a better sense of this influential author by situating the man Mao Zedong hailed as "the sage of modern China" in his turbulent time and place. In Davies’s vivid rendering, we encounter a writer passionately engaged with the heady arguments and intrigues of a country on the eve of revolution. She traces political tensions in Lu Xun’s works which reflect the larger conflict in modern Chinese thought between egalitarian and authoritarian impulses. During the last phase of Lu Xun’s career, the so-called "years on the left," we see how fiercely he defended a literature in which the people would speak for themselves, and we come to understand why Lu Xun continues to inspire the debates shaping China today. Although Lu Xun was never a Communist, his legacy was fully enlisted to support the Party in the decades following his death. Far from the apologist of political violence portrayed by Maoist interpreters, however, Lu Xun emerges here as an energetic opponent of despotism, a humanist for whom empathy, not ideological zeal, was the key to achieving revolutionary ends. Limned with precision and insight, Lu Xun’s Revolution is a major contribution to the ongoing reappraisal of this foundational figure.Recognized as modern China’s preeminent man of letters, Lu Xun (1881–1936) is revered as the nation’s conscience, a writer comparable to Shakespeare or Tolstoy.
