Innocent Victims Poetic Injustice in Shakespearean Tragedy
No full textThis is a revised version of the book which was privately published by the author in 1982. At the time, the book was widely welcomed by Shakespearean scholars as a trenchant, scholarly and highly orginal contribution to the field of Shakespearean studies. The book's argument is that a full response to Shakespearean tragedy has to take account of the fate of the victims as well as of the tragic heroesl and this thesis is illustrated and developed by a consideration of Lavinia, Lucrece and the children in Richard III, Macbeth and King John; and to the thee principal Shakespearean tragic victims, Ophelia, Desemona and Cordelia.Intro -- Contents -- Preface to second edition -- I: Fore Thoughts -- II: Innocent Victims -- III: Lavinia -- IV: Lucrece -- V: Children -- VI: Ophelia -- VII: Desdemona -- VIII: Cordelia -- IX: After Thoughts -- Appendix: Critics and Victims -- Notes -- Bibliography -- Index -- A -- B -- C -- D -- E -- F -- G -- H -- I -- J -- K -- L -- M -- N -- O -- P -- R -- S -- T -- U -- V -- W -- YThis is a revised version of the book which was privately published by the author in 1982.

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

Choosing How to Choose: Self-Stable Majority Rules and Constitutions
No full textConstitutional arrangements affect the decisions made by a society. We study how this effect leads to preferences of citizens over constitutions; and ultimately how this has a feedback that determines which constitutions can survive in a given society. Constitutions are stylized here, to consist of a voting rule for ordinary business and possibly different voting rule for making changes to the constitution. We deffine an equilibrium notion for constitutions, called self-stability, whereby under the rules of a self-stable constitution, the society would not vote to change the constitution. We argue that only self-stable constitutions will endure. We prove that self-stable constitutions always exist, but that most constitutions (even very prominent ones) may not be self-stable for some societies. We show that constitutions where the voting rule used to amend the constitution is the same as the voting rule used for ordinary business are dangerously simplistic, and there are (many) societies for which no such constitution is self-stable rule. We conclude with a characterization of the set of self-stable constitutions that use majority rule for ordinary business.

A family of ruthenium complexes containing the non-innocent ligand o-benzoquinonediimine. An infrared structural interpretation
No full textIt has been shown that innocent ligands always contribute with a similar electron density to a metal centre in a complex regardless of which other innocent ligands are bonded to the same centre, while non-innocent ligands are capable of tuning electron density on the metal centre depending on the nature of the other ligands. The present work reports the IR spectral characterisation of four ruthenium complexes containing the non-innocent ligand o-benzoquinonediimine and different innocent ligands (Ru(C6H 4{NH}2)(Cl)2(PPh3)2; [Ru(CH3CN)(C6H4{NH}2)(Cl)(PPh 3)2][BF4]; [Ru(CH3CN) 2(C6H4{NH}2)(PPh3) 2[BF4]2, and [Ru(C6H 4{NH}2)({C2H5}2NCS 2) (PPh3)2][Cl]. The C=N vibration correlates with the EL values of the ligands. We found that the o-benzoquinonediimine ligand modulates the vibrational energies depending on the nature of the innocent ligands bonded to the ruthenium atom
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Facing the mystery of the suffering of the innocent
No full textU ovom članku promatra autor patnju nevinih kao tajnu koju želi što više osvijetliti. U tom kontekstu, u prvom dijelu, studira knjigu o pravednom Jobu. Nakon sumarne analize dolazi do zaključka da Jobovu patnju treba vrednovati kao kušnju vjere iza koje, u konačnici, stoji sam Bog. U drugom dijelu razmišlja autor o otkupiteljskoj snazi patnje nevinoga Isusa. Ali i o velikoj vrijednosti trpljenja svakog nevinog vjernika patnika koji svoju patnju čini plodonosnom pridružujući je Kristovu otkupiteljskom djelu. Da je patnja nevinih vjernika patnika višestruko plodonosna, o tome se govori i u trećem dijelu članka koji je posvećen svjedočanstvima pojedinih katoličkih blaženika i svetaca. U završnom dijelu autor ističe da tešku patnju treba otkloniti, ako je moguće. Ako nije moguće, onda je treba s vjerom prihvatiti, Bogu
posvetiti i strpljivo podnositi. Na taj način, po njegovu mišljenju, ona postaje veoma učinkovita molitva i ima nadnaravnu vrijednost. Na koncu autor priznaje da je cijeli ovaj članak pisao pod snažnim utjecajem hagiografske literature ističući pritom da je svetački pristup patnji najbolji ljudski odgovor na tajnu trpljenja nevinih.In this article the author examines the suffering of the innocent as a mystery that should be highlighted. In this context, in the first part of the article he studies the book of the righteous Job. After a brief analysis he comes to the conclusion that Job’s suffering should be judged as a test of faith behind which, ultimately, is God Himself. In the second part, the author reflects on the redemptive power of the suffering of the innocent Jesus. But he reflects also on the great value of the suffering of every innocent believer which is made fertile by Christ’s suffering and is joined to the redemptive work
of Christ. The third part of the article argues that the suffering of innocent believers is fruitful in multiple ways, and this is proved by the witness of some Catholic saints and blessed. In the final part, the author points out that acute pain should be eliminated where possible, but if this is not possible, then it should be accepted with faith, offered up to God and patiently endured. In this way, in the author’s view, it becomes a very effective prayer and has a supernatural value. Finally, the author acknowledges that the article has been written under the strong influence of hagiography and stresses that the approach of the saints toward suffering is the best human answer to the mystery of the suffering of the innocent
