Dear father,
No full textMy father’s passing was his return to wellness. Having had brain damage for thirty years, he had not been cognizant of his life. In dear father, – a collection of letter-like essays and poems – it is my task to review memories with my deceased father that he may learn of his time on Earth through an epistolary form. Writing in the second person was driven by a need to connect: writing to and not of. The essays assume a lyric style that is imagistic. They seek honesty rather than sentimentality. They serve as a zoom lens to magnify jarring moments when his dementia flared, as well as heartfelt hours. Some essays offer a collage of early memories, of a well father who was much loved before his open-heart surgery during which there was a lack of oxygen. The bulk of essays however, center on the first year of his brain damage when, traumatized by his dementia, I starved myself. These essays show a corollary relationship of a father and his young daughter co-existing in a damaged world. Interspersed are poems. Set between longer pieces, they work like stepping-stones that help forge the path our lives took. The organization of the collection uses mind-time rather than a chronological arrangement. Time moves about as with most letter collections; with no guarantee the next essay begins where the previous left off. Scenes unfold by way of emotional impact, like flashbacks that usher forth, rather than a linear approach. This worked for me on an aesthetic and metaphorical level, as it reflected my father’s imagined world. In dear father, readers learn of long suffering and family survival – not so much by any outward change. Rather, transcendence occurs by staying in place, navigating and finally coming to terms with the strange terrain of a ruined mind.M.F.A.by Therese Anne Halschei

Beyond the Treasury of San Isidoro: A Tale of Two Projects
No full textIn this methodological essay, I present the fruits of research carried out by an interdisciplinary group of scholars 2016–2018, which centered on the Treasury of San Isidoro
de León, while also introducing the more wide-ranging comparative work going forward 2019–2022 under the auspices of a reconfigured team. By republishing our studies in open access, we aim to reach a larger community of scholars; our longer-term goal is to move further out into the consciousness of modern society, locating for an interested general public the Leonese collection within its broader historical framework and holding it up for comparison with other significant sites. Cross-cultural luxury objects oblige a shift in the direction of our historical gaze, bringing into clear focus the many collaborations across faiths and the repeated examples of protagonism by women during the central Middle Ages.This second Treasury project (2019–2022) is funded by The Medieval Iberian Treasury in Context: Collections, Connections, and Representations on the Peninsula and Beyond (National Research Challenge Grant, Spanish Ministry of Science, Innovation, and Universities, aei/feder, RTI2018-098615-B-I00, pi Therese Martin). For the publication of the present volume, additional support has generously been provided by The Index of Medieval Art, Princeton University, and the College of Liberal Arts of The University of Mississippi. (Previous funding and acknowledgments are noted by each author in her respective chapter.) I am very grateful to all team members who contributed to both Treasury projects, and especially to Amanda Dotseth, Jitske Jasperse, and Ana Rodríguez, whose incisive critiques of an earlier draft greatly improved the final version of this essa
Writing about a Stranger. Therese Schlesinger (1863 Vienna – 1940 Blois): Vom Gemeintsein im Bild der Vergangenheit
No full textThis article addresses theories and methods of writing biography with regard to Walter Benjamin’s metaphor of »recognizing the image of the past as one’s own concern«. The author reflects on »recognizing« herself in the historical image and in the work of Therese Schlesinger. Tracing the biography of the Jewish-Austrian feminist, social democrat and member of parliament, who was forced into exile by the National Socialist takeover in 1938, the author refuses to limit the reading of Schlesinger’s biography to a single historicist narrative. Gabriella Hauch argues that we must look for narrative fissures and gaps to make visible the multi-dimensional tangle of cause and effect in biographical research.This article addresses theories and methods of writing biography with regard to Walter Benjamin’s metaphor of »recognizing the image of the past as one’s own concern«.

CARTOGRAPHIES OF TRAUMA AND DISPLACED IDENTITIES IN MARIE THERESE TOYI’S WEEP NOT, REFUGEE
No full textThis study explored the cartographies of trauma and displaced identities in Marie Therese Toyi‟s Weep Not, Refugee. The study specifically analysed on how the war traumas and identities of the displaced Burundians resulting from violent conflicts and civil wars in Burundi represented in the novel. In order to critically examine and analyses on how Marie Therese Toyi translates trauma and identities of the displaced Burundians across Great Lakes region, the study drew theoretical underpinnings from post-colonial theory. It particularly drew on Ruth Caruth‟s views of trauma studies in literature and Homi Bhabha‟s conceptions of hybridity, unhomeliness, liminality and uncanny to examine the cartographies of trauma and displaced characters liminal identities in the novel. The findings of the study affirm that Weep Not Refugee is about the memories of war, traumas and sufferings of the Burundian refugees in the camp in exile and later in Burundi. Of a particular importance to the findings of the study, the author carefully selects aesthetic aspects to provide readers with an opportunity to imagine the impacts of ethnic war between Hutus and Tutsis to the displaced Burundian community across the Great Lakes region. More importantly the author uses the novel to explore the significant contribution of displacement to delineate and circumscribe Burundian refugees with reduced identities and refugees‟ sense of unbelonginginess and unhomeliness in areas of displacemen
Zu den Sprechpositionen in den früheren lyrischen Texten von Marie Therese von Artner
No full textMaria Therese von Artner, born in 1772, is one of the almost forgotten German authors born in what is now Slovakia, which at the time was Upper Hungary. She was interested in various aspects of the social and political upheavals in the Habsburg Monarchy and in Europe around 1800, especially the everyday reality of women’s lives. Against the background of contemporary socio-historical conditions, this study examines the self-image of the author, who lived and worked on the periphery of cultural centres and whose writing was determined by her personal artistic ambitions and the literary trends of the time
