Burrows Permeameter
No full textThis instrument, used for determining the normal magnetic induction curve and the hysteresis loop for a straight round specimen, was designed by Charles W. Burrows of the National Bureau of Standards around 1909, utilizing the idea of a distributed and adjustable magnetomotive force. Its magnetic circuit consists of two approximately identical bars 250 millimeters long, their ends being clamped by brass screws in two connecting yokes of high permeability. Yoke ends are hemispherical to minimize flux leakage into air. The main magnetizing solenoids consist of 10 layers of No. 18 copper wire wound with 7.958 turns per centimeter. They extend over the entire length of the two bars between the yokes. A compensating coil with four windings in series is added at the four ends. The main test coil is wound closely over the middle quarter of the bar chosen as a test specimen. On each side of this, midway between it and the yokes, the two halves of a second search coil are wound. A third16 x 35 x 20 c

Union in Obscurity: Ruth Burrows’ Contributions to Developments in Mystical Theology
No full textThis thesis seeks to support and synthesize the claims of Carmelite Nun and contemporary author, Ruth Burrows. Across her writings, Burrows contends that a lack of flowering of the mystical life in the Church today results from a false typification of mysticism as both linear and bench-marked by sensible signs. Burrows argues this imbalanced view has stunted the spiritual growth of many, due to false expectations and discouragement. Rather, Burrows asserts that the normative experience of Divine Union is given both obscurely and intangibly (“light off”), whereas the sensible and conventional sense of mysticism is both rare and didactic in purpose (“light on”). Burrows’ arguments are evaluated chiefly in dialogue with St. Thomas Aquinas and St. John of the Cross. Burrows’ case for a didactic “Light On” mysticism is best understood as gratia gratis data, specifically as an expression of the prophetic charism. “Light Off” is explored through a closer examination of St. John of the Cross’s writings, where a reconsideration of sensate imagery in light of his doctrine of obscure faith reveals a mystical marriage more in support of Burrows’ conception. This claim is further strengthened when compared with St. Thomas Aquinas’ treatise on faith. An incarnational case for the two modes of mystical life is made through an analysis of St. Elizabeth of the Trinity (“Light on”) and St. Therese of Lisieux (“Light off”). Burrows’ theology stands the test of scrutiny, though not without limitations: research remains to be done on the function of the Gifts and Fruits of the Holy Spirit in Burrows’ mystical theology. Additionally, when pushed to its furthest limits, Burrows’ commitment to obscure union risks a radical disjunct between the perceiver (the soul) and the object perceived (God Himself). Nonetheless, should spiritual theology undergo a ressourcement as did systematic and moral theology, the theology of Ruth Burrows offer important contributions

Variations on the Author
No full text“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Edward Gibbon and Natural Freedom in the Decline and Fall. Or: can natural freedom be turned into ‘the balance of freedom’?
No full textNome: Computational Literary Criticism. Nascita: 1987. Genitore: John F. Burrows (Ostetrica: Narratologia)
No full textL’articolo riconsidera le origini della Computational Literary Criticism (CLC) proponendone l’anticipazione dell’atto fondativo al 1987, anno in cui John F. Burrows pubblica Word-Patterns and Story-Shapes. Benché tradizionalmente se ne attribuisca il primato al Distant Reading di Franco Moretti (2000), il contributo di Burrows è la prima consapevole proposta di applicazione di metodi computazionali a Hni di critica e teoria letterarie. Inoltre, l’approccio narratologico adottato e basato sulla distinzione tra diegesi, mimesi e discorso indiretto libero, evidenzia una precoce cornice teorica, trascurata successivamente. L’articolo ricostruisce contesto, apporto di Burrows e ragioni della mancata ricezione, avanzando una rilettura della genealogia della CLC alla luce di questo pionieristico contributo
