The Ladder by Eugenia Kuznetsova: A queer reading of a wartime Ukrainian novel [version 1; peer review: 2 approved]
No full textThe article offers a queer phenomenological, after Sara Ahmed, and “queer world-making,” after José Muñoz, reading of the novel The Ladder (Драбина) by Ukrainian author Eugenia Kuznetsova. The article examines gendered dynamics in the novel, and draws attention to its queer moments and features: more specifically, “competitive queer world-making” where the protagonist and his family appear as minoritarian subjects; “expanded space of the war” and changing spatiotemporal gendered normativities of Ukrainian citizenship and nationhood mediated through the gadgets, and multiplicity of queer phenomenologist “straight lines” affecting the protagonist. The paper also argues for the necessity of employing further gender and queer perspectives in the analysis of wartime Ukrainian fiction literature
150 Years after Dillmann’s Lexicon: Perspectives and Challenges of Gǝʿǝz Studies
No full textThe volume contains eleven essays which cast a look on the past, present, and future of Ge'ez (Classical Ethiopic) philological and linguistic studies on the occasion of the 150th anniversary of the achievement of the Lexicon linguae Aethiopicae by August Dillmann, published in 1865. Most of the essays were presented at a conference convened by the ERC-project TraCES at the University of Hamburg in November 2015. On the one hand, they focus on the significance and importance of the Lexicon and of its author who was one of the greatest orientalists of the nineteenth century. Dillmann’s Lexicon has marked in-depth the development of Ethiopian and oriental studies. It still remains an indispensable tool for the analysis of Ge'ez style and phraseology, even though it has been surpassed by Wolf Leslau’s Comparative Dictionary of Ge'ez (1987), with respect to etymology and number of entries. On the other hand, the essays define more precisely which are (besides the obvious updating) the challenges posed by manuscripts, text editions, and epigraphic evidence emerged since 1865, with regard to Ge'ez language, orthography, lexicon and lexicography as well as digital humanities and corpus linguistics. The contributors are Maria Bulakh, Wolfgang Dickhut, Andreas Ellwardt, Serge A. Frantsouzoff, Martin Heide, Susanne Hummel, Manfred Kropp, Eugenia Sokolinski, Agostino Soldati, Cristina Vertan, Stefan Weninger, and Alessandro Bausi, who is also the editor of the volume
On using Directional Information for Parameter Space Decomposition in Ellipse Detection
No full textIn this paper we use the parametric polar representation to extend the application of edge directional information from circle to ellipse extraction. As a result we obtain a mapping which decomposes the parameter space required for ellipse extraction into two independent sub-spaces and one final histogram accumulator. The mapping includes the tangent of the angle of the first and second directional derivatives. These tangents are computed by considering edge direction at two border points. We show that the use of gradient information for parameter space decomposition avoids the intensive point labelling imposed by geometric constraints used by other approaches

The speech act of apologising in Japanese online communication
No full textGomen, the object of analysis in this study, is an informal expression commonly signalled as an apology in Japanese. Drawing from a corpus of online Q&A forums in Japanese compiled by the author, the study demonstrates that the real communicative intent of gomen can be something different from an expression of apology, or indeed can be apologising plus other intentions. First, the article describes the pragmatic functions of gomen in real-life situations. Second, it shows different patterns of speech act realisation with respect to gomen when used as an apologetic device. This argument is developed by analysing multiple linguistic and contextual variables that frequently co-occur with gomen and play a role in the realisation of its pragmatic functions

War and disease: biomedical research on malaria in the Twentieth century
No full textWar and Disease is a fascinating historical account of the discovery of drugs effective against malaria, one of the great scourges of humankind. The author, Leo B. Slater, makes good use of his expertise as a historian of biomedical science and technology. He provides a meticulous reconstruction of the manner in which the scientific community, in the midst of World War II, established an antimalarial program, which was to biomedical research what the Manhattan Project was to the physical sciences. At a time when industrialized nations are involved in the effort to find solutions to the ongoing global health catastrophe that malaria is today, this volume is a timely and valuable contribution
