The Dandy (Verzet): 6
No full textThis is a delightful selection of acerbic, wryly funny stories about modern relationships, queer love, and non-monogamy. In what might be considered a keystone story, 'The Sociologist', the author of a self-help book is repeatedly invited to give lectures to ‘debunk love’ but doesn’t really believe any of the things she says. Then 'The Female Dandy' of the title is a fictional journalistic feature about the rise and fall of a lesbian/feminist literary magazine and the infighting between the performatively stylish, performatively principled three women presiding. 'Remaining Isolde' depicts a straight couple’s forays into non-monogamy where it soon becomes apparent that while neither is really happy with their arrangement they feel compelled to pursue it all the same. In 'No Petting' a woman considers her own life while visiting a zoo and 'What Is It You Want to Know?' sees an elderly mother struggle with her grown daughter’s refusal to acknowledge her relationship with another woman

Key words: Dandy-Walker syndrome, dysplasia, hydrocephalus, intraventricular shunt.
Abstract
Dandy-Walker syndrome is a congenital defect of a central nervous system characterized by a hindered flow of cerebrospinal fluid through the outflow holes of ventricle IV. Symptoms of the disease can develop slowly since the early childhood and will result in developing both hydrocephalus and anomalies related to the structure of the cerebellum. The etiology of Dandy-Walker syndrome is not known.
Aim of this work is to present the health situation of the patients with Dandy-Walker syndrome in Poland.
Material and methods
The research was conduncted from December 2011 to April 2012 and involved the group of wards of the ‘Podaj Dalej’ Dandy-Walker Syndrome Foundation who live on the territory of Poland. Overall, 36 people were examined: 15 boys and 21 girls.
Results and conclusions
Reaching the patients with Dandy-Walker syndrome is very difficult because it is a rarely occurring congenital defect, recognized usually by accident. However, the complexity of problems evolving from this disease brings the necessity of expanding the studies in many areas so they could be compared to the studies conducted in other countries. Results of this type of studies will be useful in a correct orientation of treatment and widely understood rehabilitation of patients with Dandy-Walker syndrome as well as education both families and the patients
The renaissance of the dandy in Christian Kracht’s work : the dandy as a social figure and habitus in Faserland, 1979 and Ich werde hier sein im Sonnenschein und im Schatten
No full textDie Arbeit untersucht anhand der ersten drei Romane "Faserland", "1979" und "Ich werde hier sein im Sonnenschein und im Schatten" von Christian Kracht die Renaissance der Sozialfigur des Dandys in der deutschsprachigen Gegenwartsliteratur. Aus einer literatursoziologischen Sicht werden die Dandy-Figur, deren Charakteristika und der Dandy-Habitus genauer beschrieben. Die Analyse erfolgt im disziplinären Rahmen der „Cultural Studies“ und des Genres „Popliteratur“. Nach einer Begriffsklärung des Wortes „Dandy“ wird die Geschichte der Dandy-Figur am Beispiel berühmter Repräsentanten aufgerollt. Ein daraus erarbeiteter Katalog von Eigenschaften wird auf die Dandy-Figuren in den genannten drei Romanen angewendet. In einem ersten Schritt werden Geschlecht, Habitus, Ästhetik, räumliche und zeitliche Gebundenheit der „neuen“ und „alten“ Dandy-Figuren miteinander verglichen. Sodann werden die Roman-Figuren anhand von vier zentralen Rollentypen analysiert: die des unzuverlässigen Erzählers, die des Flaneurs, die des Transhumanen und die des Black Dandys. Der entscheidende Unterschied zwischen „alten“ und „neuen“ Dandys liegt in der Erweiterung ihres Wirkungsbereichs von 'Klasse' auf 'Geschlecht' und 'Rasse'. Auch deshalb werden Begriffe wie „Effeminiertheit“, „Performativität“ und „Camp“ schon vorab näher behandelt. Ebenso haben sich die Aktionsräume des Dandys von städtischen Boulevards hin zu Flughäfen, Slums und Partys erweitert. Die Figuren in Christian Krachts Romanen benutzen den Dandy als eine von vielen Masken. Die Autorenpersona Christian Kracht und die Roman-Figuren haben starkes Dandy-Potential. Das hervorstechendste Merkmal der „neuen“ Dandy-Figuren ist, dass diese mehr noch als die „alten“ zu Maschinen, Cyborgs und Kunstwerken werden.This master thesis examines on the basis of Christian Krachts novels Faserland, 1979 and Ich werde hier sein im Sonnenschein und im Schatten the renaissance of the social figure of the dandy in German contemporary literature. The dandy figure, concise characteristics and the dandy habitus are analysed from a literature-sociological point of view. The analysis is embedded in the fields Cultural Studies and pop culture. The meaning of the word “dandy” is described, the history of the dandy figure is told and well-known dandies are shown. By means of a catalogue which includes dandy attributes, the dandy figures of the novels are studied. “New” and “old” dandy figures are juxtaposed in terms of gender, habitus, aesthetics, space and time. Christian Krachts dandy figures are checked under the following aspects: the unreliable narrator, the flaneur, the transhuman and the Black Dandy. The most decisive difference between “old” and “new” dandies is that their sphere of action has expanded from class towards gender and race. Terms like “effeminacy”, “performativity” and “Camp” were discussed beforehand. Furthermore, the dandies spaces have changed from the urban boulevards to airports, slums and parties. Christian Krachts literary figures use the dandy as a mask among many others. The author persona Christian Kracht and the literary figures have a strong dandy potential. The most striking feature of the “new” dandy figures is the fact that they are becoming more and more machines, cyborgs and finally works of art.vorgelegt von Katharina Wiesler, Bakk. philZusammenfassungen in Deutsch und EnglischAbweichender Titel laut Übersetzung des Verfassers/der VerfasserinMasterarbeit Karl-Franzens-Universität Graz 2019 2133

Faces of a Dandy? Stanisław Witkacy’s Self-Portraits
No full textThis paper describes the self-portraits of Stanisław Ignacy Witkiewicz (1885-1939) who was a painter, writer, philosopher, theoretician, and critic.
The author has selected twelve most interesting works, analysed them and interpreted in the context of the whole literary, philosophical, and epistolographic output of the artist, including his biography. The text is supplemented by coloured oil reproductions, pastels, and drawings. They are described in detail in a chronological order. All the elements of Witkacy's works become meaningful, starting from typically historical and artificial: representations, views, colours, techniques, and signatures or the author's title. This paper is based on a master's thesis and it contains also some remarks concerning the whole collection of self-portraits.
The author sought to show Witkacy's self-portraits. Witkacy was a professional portrait painter in the perspective of dandy painting. Now drawing on the studies written by historians of art and literature, she sought to indicate how useful are the categories used in literature or journalism for painting. Dandy painting is a key of interpretation that helps to explain not only why the author of A Farewell to Autumn was so eager to paint his physiognomy (there are eighty-two self-portraits), but also the varied character of the collection of self-portraits. We may find among them representative portraits painted with care, and some sketches drawn in haste under the influence of drugs, or self-caricatures attached to correspondence

Patterns of cognitive and fine motor deficits in a case of dandy-walker continuum
No full textCerebellar vermian hypoplasia in the context of Dandy-Walker complex is a relatively common disorder associated with a variety of cognitive and behavioral deficits in addition to impairment in motor control. Few studies, however, have examined the neuropsychological profiles of children with isolated hypoplasias of the cerebellum. Herein, we report a 6-year-old girl with Dandy-Walker continuum presenting with mild mental retardation and an inability to produce intelligible speech, despite adequate comprehension of single items and simple instructions. She was able to articulate vowels but not consonants, and fine motor function was deficient. Visual memory was intact for single items but not for multiple items, and visuospatial perception was impaired. An inability to form intelligible speech is not typically reported in cases of isolated vermian hypoplasia. The case extends our knowledge of the phenotypes associated with cerebellar hypoplasia and its relation to fine motor and articulatory control. © The Author(s) 2012
