Grace in Spoofax
No full textGrace is a programming language that aims to be an example of a contemporary object-oriented language, to be used for teaching university level students. The language specification of Grace is informal, and its various implementations are difficult to comprehend and change. Spoofax Grace is an implementation of the Grace programming language, meant to serve both as a reference implementation, but also a specification, that can be easily read, understood and changed. Spoofax Grace is implemented using the Spoofax language workbench, providing a declarative grammar, program transformations and dynamic semantics. From these specifications a language interpreter is generated that can execute Grace programs. The system covers the core aspects of Grace, yet a number of language features remain unimplemented. The implementation can be correlated to the informal Grace specification, and can be changed or extended at will.Electrical Engineering, Mathematics and Computer ScienceSoftware TechnologyProgramming Language
Building bridges of peace in a Jewish-Palestinian Village in Israel: A role model for social justice and citizenship education
No full textNeve Shalom/Wahat Al-Salam (the Hebrew and Arabic words for “Oasis of Peace”) is a village that began as an intercultural experiment. There, Jews and Palestinians founded a community aimed at demonstrating the possibilities for living in peace – while maintaining their respective cultural heritages and languages. This paper explores the psychological, social and personal dimensions of this unique educational endeavour and draws the reader into the complex journey of Jews and Palestinians who are trying to break down barriers of fear and mistrust that have saturated their daily existence. Feuerverger explore the deep woundings and sense of victimhood that both peoples – Jews and Palestinians – feel in very different ways. This ethnography was written from the heart and it certainly offers some hope in a time of darkness. It invites us all to become fellow dreamers of peace.Neve Shalom/Wahat Al-Salam (“Oasis de Paz”) en hebreo y en árabe, es un pueblo que comenzó como un experimento intercultural.

Grace Aguilar’s historical romances
No full textPhDMy dissertation looks critically at Grace Aguilar’s historical romance novels and short
stories, and investigates English writers’ uses of history in early- to mid-nineteenth century
fiction. Shifting the current critical emphasis on Aguilar’s Jewish texts, I
have analyzed the ways in which Aguilar revises the genres of the national tale, the
gothic romance, and the medieval romance in order to demonstrate her participation
in the construction of nineteenth-century domestic values.
In Chapter One, I introduce to critical debate Aguilar’s juvenilia, relying on
unpublished manuscripts and novels published only in the twentieth century to
establish the origins of Aguilar’s interest in history and historical writing. Locating
Aguilar’s narrative style in the early nineteenth-century national tale, I show that as a
child Aguilar envisioned the English and Scottish nations as a family, making
domesticity both a private and a public—a female and a male—value.
Chapter Two focuses on Aguilar’s use of history to express nineteenth-century
domestic ideals in her version of the gothic romance. Deploying the setting of the
Catholic Inquisition in Spain and Portugal, Aguilar writes gothic tales that unite
Jewish and Protestant gender values. She makes heroic the Jewish female martyr to
suggest not only that nineteenth-century Protestants and Jews share similar domestic
principles, but also that Jewish women could be seen as ideal models for Protestant
women.
Finally, in Chapter Three I explore Aguilar’s participation in the nineteenth-century
medievalist tradition by reflecting on her revision of nineteenth-century literary
idealizations of the Middle Ages. In these short stories, Aguilar fictionalizes the
sixteenth-century European chivalric ethos, looking critically at the role of women in
court society at the end of the Middle Ages. Deploying the tropes prevalent in
popular nineteenth-century anti-medievalist fiction, Aguilar debunks celebrations of
the Middle Ages by showing how chivalry is antagonistic to nineteenth-century
domesticity
