The Bergman property for semigroups
No full textIn this article, we study the Bergman property for semigroups and the associated notions of cofinality and strong cofinality. A large part of the paper is devoted to determining when the Bergman property, and the values of the cofinality and strong cofinality, can be passed from semigroups to subsemigroups and vice versa. Numerous examples, including many important semigroups from the literature, are given throughout the paper. For example, it is shown that the semigroup of all mappings on an infinite set has the Bergman property but that its finitary power semigroup does not; the symmetric inverse semigroup on an infinite set and its finitary power semigroup have the Bergman property; the Baer-Levi semigroup does not have the Bergman property.Peer reviewe
The role of imagination in Bergman, Klein and Sartre
No full textThis thesis was submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy and was awarded by Brunel UniversityThis thesis provides an inter-disciplinary study of selected works by Ingmar Bergman. I explore how key concepts from Melanie Klein and Jean-Paul Sartre apply to the focus on characters in a state of heightened imagination; and the value placed on imagination in the construction of these films. This involves recognition of the way an active response from the viewer is encouraged.
Klein, Sartre and Bergman also attend to contextual factors that challenge any notion of subjectivity as sovereign and the power of imagination is frequently placed in a social context. All three figures develop their ideas within specialised fields drawing on the influence of others. Chapter 2 shows how Klein’s ideas relate to the influence of Freud before exploring how her work can be applied to Bergman’s films through the example of Wild Strawberries. Chapter 3 concentrates on Sartre’s early work, The Imaginary and considers how this is significant in relation to some of Sartre’s better-known philosophical ideas developed during and after the Second World War. These ideas will lead to an exploration of The Seventh Seal.
Chapters 4, 5, and 6 focus on three films from distinct parts of Bergman’s career: Summer with Monika, The Virgin Spring and Hour of the Wolf. In Chapter 4 this will be preceded by a brief over-view of three more films from the early part of Bergman’s career. These chapters explore how Kleinian and Sartrean ideas can be incorporated in close analysis, and alongside selected critical responses to the films. The analysis integrates key points from Klein and Sartre in a methodology specific to film studies. This will include analysis of cinematic elements such as camera work and lighting, and recognition of narrative structure and character developmen
Stability and covergence properties of Bergman Kernel methods for numerical conformal mapping
No full textIn this paper we study the stability and convergence properties of Bergman kernel methods, for the numerical conform al mapping of simply and doubly- connected domains. In particular, by using certain well-known results of Carleman, we establish a characterization of the level of instability in the methods, in terms of the geometry of the domain under consideration. We also explain how certain known convergence results can provide some theoretical justification of the observed improvement in accuracy which is achieved by the methods, when the basis set used contains functions that reflect the main singular behaviour of the conformal map
Manuskrypt błogosławionej pamięci Pejsacha Bergmana, wedle kopii przekazanej przez syna, Bronisława Bergmana [A manuscript of Pejsach Bergman of blessed memory, according to a copy received from his son, Bronisław Bergman]
No full textA manuscript of Pejsach Bergman of blessed memory, according to a copy received
from his son, Bronisław Bergman
The text by Pesach Bergman (1898–1944) is an excerpt from his fictionalized memoirs about the life of the shtetl of Widawa from the late 19th century to the 1930s. Written in Yiddish, it was translated into Polish by Dr. Marcin Urynowicz with the assistance of Sara Arm. It constitutes an original and unique literary genre, which is closest to the meditation (Latin: soliloquia), combining elements of social criticism and sentimental recollections.
Manuskrypt błogosławionej pamięci Pejsacha Bergmana, wedle kopii przekazanej przez syna, Bronisława Bergmana
Tekst Pesacha Bergmana (1898–1944) pochodzi z jego fabularyzowanych wspomnień, dotyczących życia sztetlu Widawa w okresie od końca XIX wieku do lat trzydziestych wieku XX. Został zapisany w języku żydowskim, z którego – z pomocą Sary Arm – przełożył go dr Marcin Urynowicz. Ustanawia oryginalny, właściwy tylko sobie gatunek literacki, najbliższy rozmyślaniom (łac. soliloquia), łączącym elementy krytyki społecznej i sentymentalnego wspomnienia
The Bergman kernel on Reinhardt domains
No full textIn the first chapter, we calculate the Bergman Kernel of monomial polyhedron P by splitting the index space {\cal N}\sp{n} into finite disjoint convex cones which correspond to faces of This enables us to sum up the index within the cones individually, and yields an estimate for the Bergman kernel of monomial polyhedron P on diagonal. In the second chapter, in order to calculate the Bergman kernel for a smooth pseudoconvex Reinhardt domain of finite type, we first show that any pseudoconvex polynomial is roughly equivalent to a polynomial with all coefficients positive. This enables us to approximate by certain type of monomial polyhedron, and leads to a conjecture for the Bergman kernel on smooth pseudoconvex Reinhardt domains
Archeologisch bureauonderzoek en inventariserend veldonderzoek (verkennende fase)
No full textUit het veldonderzoek blijkt dat beek- en dekzand afzettingen voorkomen. In de laag gelegen beekafzettingen in het zuidelijke deel van het plangebied is naast kleiige afzettingen ook veen aangetroffen dat duidt op moerassige drassige omstandigheden. De huidige bebouwing en oprit en als denkbeeldige lijn de verlenging hiervan liggen op de grens tussen (verspoeld) dekzand en de beekafzettingen. Onder de 15 à 35 cm dikke bouwvoor is ter plaatse van de dekzandafzettingenhet dekzand een 20 tot 35 cm dikke cultuurlaag waargenomen.
Ter plaatse van de huidige en historische voormalige bebouwing is een dikkere cultuurlaag aangetroffen die tot 1,7 m -mv kan reiken
Differently Married: Revising Wittgenstein, Remembering Bergman
No full textIn the first part of the paper the author offers a frank reassessment of Ludwig Wittgenstein’s philosophy. He dismisses the Tractatus as philosophically irrelevant but points to the unshaken validity of the main tenents of Wittgenstein’s later philosophy, especially the idea of speech acts being inevitably interwoven with extralinguistic, bodily practices. In the second part the author identifies radical limitations of Wittgenstein’s thought, which he tries to eliminate by combining it with Foucault’s understanding of power and Derrida’s understanding of iterability. The latter link opens the path to viewing language-games as theatrical spectacles. In the third part of the paper the author illustrates the revised model of language-games/spectacles by relating it to two films, Scenes from a Marriage (directed by Ingmar Bergman) and Faithless (written by Bergman and directed by Liv Ullmann). This connection enables the author to enrich the model with an affective dimension which comes to the fore in Bergman’s analysis of the breakup of a marriage
"This is Me". The Semiotics of the Mask in the Work of the American Geese Theatre Company
No full textJohn Bergman jako twórca zespołu teatralnego Geese Theatre Company USA i współtwórca Geese Theatre Company UK od prawie czterdziestu lat, w różnych miejscach na świecie, na wielu kontynentach (Ameryka Północna, Europa, Australia) prowadzi terapię dla osadzonych mężczyzn, kobiet i młodocianych, wykorzystując transformacyjne możliwości teatru. W publikowanym tekście pokazuje swoją drogę twórczą od pracy artystycznej w teatrach alternatywnych do działań dramaterapeutycznych i artystycznych prowadzonych w więzieniach. Odsłania kulisy narodzin autorskiej metody pracy z maskami (metody Geese Theatre Company) i jej ogromne znaczenie w pracy teatralnej z więźniami, zarówno w Stanach Zjednoczonych, na wyspach brytyjskich (Geese Theatre Company UK), jak i w innych krajach. Wyjaśnia, że stosowana przez niego i jego zespoły metoda pracy teatralnej narodziła się z konkretnego doświadczenia – z międzyludzkiego spotkania, w którym połączenie wcześniej nieuwzględnianych indywidualnych perspektyw doprowadziło do odkrycia zaskakujących i skutecznie działających rozwiązań. Wkład osób osadzonych oraz ich bliskich w narodziny podstawowego narzędzia pracy, jakim dla Geese Theatre Company jest maska, pozostaje niekwestionowany.As the founder of the Geese Theatre Company USA and co-founder of the Geese Theatre Company UK John Bergman has conducted therapy for male, female and juvenile prison inmates in various places around the world, on many continents (North America, Europe, Australia), for nearly forty years, using transformative power of the theatre. The text traces his creative path, from artistic work in alternative theatres to dramatherapy and art activities in prisons. It reveals the story behind the birth of the original method of working with masks (Geese Theatre Company methods) and its great importance in theatre work with prisoners, both in the United States, on the British Isles (Geese Theatre Company UK), as well as in other countries. John Bergman explains that the method he and his teams used was born of a concrete experience: an interpersonal meeting in which the combination of previously unrecognized individual perspectives led to the discovery of surprising and effective solutions. The contribution of the inmates and their relatives to the birth of the mask, the Geese Theatre Company’s basic tool, is undisputed
The Questions of God and Death in „The Seventh Seal” by Ingmar Bergman
No full textArtykuł prezentuje problematykę boga i śmierci w „siódmej pieczęci” Ingmara Bergmana. Film przedstawia osobisty stosunek reżysera do wiary, której poszukuje. Jego postawa może być postawą współczesnych ludzi, ponieważ zagadnienia te dotyczą spraw ostatecznych, od których nie można uciec. Celem tekstu jest wskazanie na te problemy, które również dzisiaj mogą być aktualne. Dzieło to jest uniwersalne w swojej wymowie, ale jednocześnie bardzo osobiste. Reżyser zmaga się z problemem boga, który będzie obecny w kolejnych jego filmach. Ostatecznie Bergman przyjął postawę wątpiącą, a „siódma pieczęć” stała się początkiem wychodzenia z dziedzictwa luterańskiego kościoła, w którym się wychował. Dzieło zawiera bogatą symbolikę, która potwierdza, że jest ono osadzone w kulturze chrześcijańskiej. Kluczową rolę odgrywają motyw tańca śmierci oraz historia głównego bohatera grającego ze śmiercią w szachy. Film ma wymowę moralitetu.The article presents the questions of god and death in „the seventh seal” by Ingmar Bergman. The film shows director’s personal attitude to faith which is looking for. His attitude can be similar to attitude of people nowadays, because these questions refer to the final things, from which we cannot escape. The aim of this article is to point to the problems which can be actual today as well. This masterpiece has a universal meaning and personal also. Film director is faced with the problem of god who will be present in his next films. In the end Bergman doubted and „the seventh seal” became the beginning of the process of leaving the heritage of the lutheran church in which he grew up. This work contains the rich symbolism rooted in christian culture. The dance of death and history of main character who is playing in chess with death are the key here. The film has a moral nature
