Love in the First Degree: Manfred, Byron, and Incest
No full textThis is the author accepted manuscript. The final version is freely available from the University of Colorado via the link in this recordNote that the text of the manuscript varies considerably from the final published versionThis essay suggests that Byron’s Manfred contains not an expression of Byron’s guilt about his incest with his half-sister Augusta Leigh, as previous critics have suggested, but rather considerable evidence of his lack of guilt. It argues that the play displays incest and torment, but in fact does not link the two, instead displaying Manfred’s love for Astarte as deeply felt without regrets. The essay then argues that one finds the same combination of deep love and lack of regret in Byron’s remarks about his relationship with his half-sister, as well as in the representations of incest in his other works. It suggests that this acceptance of incest links to Byron’s commitment to rational thinking and personal freedom, and it invites future criticism to explore this connection in more detail
Bank of Information and Algorithms as Instrument Aiding Managerial Personnel in Industrial Combines
No full textThe economic practice of the GDR shows that computer-based
information most often find their application in particular branches
of tho company's activity. These branch systems cannot satisfy
comprehensive demond for information of managerial personnel
in industrial plants und combinos.
Information services for the managerial personnel can be
successfully provided by the bank of information and algorithms
since such is the original task of this bank. It should store
the information which due to its importance for the managerial
staff must be very rapidly prepared as well as the Information
which plays a special role in management processes.
Specific nature of decision processes at higher levels of management
creates a difficulty in exact determination of information
requirements as declared by the managerial personnel of
those lovels as a basis fox- creation of information resources for
the information bank. The author suggests a practical solution
of this problem through analysis of information streams and
information resources existing already In companies and taking
also into consideration experience of other economic units in
this area. Next, the author presents 17 information complexes,
which should constitute the contens of the information bank.
The algorithms bank is to be an instrument making it possible
for the managerial personnel to process the information contained
in the information bank. In the algorithms bank there are
to be collected algorithms in the form of programme units, which
can be put together to receive the user's programme. The author
lists six group of algorithms which should be included into
the bank.
The dialogue between the user and the machine is the most
recommended way of using the bank of information and algorithms.
However duo to the fact that it calls for proper preparation of
the user, we cannot treat direct co-operation between the manager
and the digital machine as a standard solution, and it
must be carried out through a specialized staff unit acting the
role of a middleman.Zadanie pt. Digitalizacja i udostępnienie w Cyfrowym Repozytorium Uniwersytetu Łódzkiego kolekcji czasopism naukowych wydawanych przez Uniwersytet Łódzki nr 885/P-DUN/2014 zostało dofinansowane ze środków MNiSW w ramach działalności upowszechniającej naukę
Manfred Macmillan
No full textDecadence meets gothic in Manfred Macmillan (1907), a carefully constructed tale of doppelgangers, magical intrigue, and the rootless scion of a noble house. This annotated, first-ever English translation presents an early queer novel long unavailable except in the original Czech. Author Jiří Karásek ze Lvovic (1871–1951) was a major cultural figure in his native Bohemia and cultivated ties with fellow artists from across Central Europe. In their extensive scholarly introduction, translator Carleton Bulkin and translation scholar Brian James Baer situate the novel within longer histories of gay literature, fascinations with the occult, and the cultural and linguistic politics of so-called peripheral European nations. They persuasively frame Karásek as a queer author and cultural disruptor in the fin de siècle Habsburg space.
Karasék rejected Czech translations of ancient Greek writers that bowdlerized gay themes, and he personally and vigorously defended Oscar Wilde in print, both on the grounds of artistic freedom and of private morality. He also published a cycle of homoerotic poems under the title Sodom, confiscated by the Austrian authorities but republished in 1905 and repeatedly afterward. A colonized subject, a literary decadent, and a sexual outlaw, Karasék’s complex responses to his own marginalization can be traced through his fantastically strange novel trilogy Three Magicians. As the first volume in that series, Manfred Macmillan is a gorgeous, compelling, and important addition to expanding canons of LGBTQI+ literature
