DEBORA: Developing an Interface to Support Collaboration in a Digital Library
No full textInterfaces to library systems have largely failed to represent the in-herently collaborative nature of information work. This paper describes how collaborative functionality is being implemented as part of the DEBORA project to provide access to digitised Renaissance documents. Work practices of users of Renaissance documents are described and the collaborative features of the client software are outlined. Functionalities discussed include annotation, the creation of virtual books and the inclusion of user-supplied metadata
Dozia – Debora – Dvoyre V(F)ogel : D’une avant-garde à l’autre
No full textDvoyre Fogel (Debora Vogel) (1900-1942) est née à Bursztyn, petite ville rurale de Galicie orientale, dans un milieu assimilé polonophone acquis aux idées sionistes (son père, qui lui donna une formation classique en hébreu, dirigeait l’école de la fondation Baron Hirsch puis un orphelinat à Lwów/Lemberg où la famille avait déménagé).

On the avant-garde : Bruno Schulz and Debora Vogel
No full textIn his recent book devoted to the study of Schulz, Michał Paweł Markowski rebukes the scholars of Schulz that they have ignored the indebtedness of the write r in Hegel's philosophy, and at the same time he claims that it is hard to find in Schulz any evidence that he had actually read the philosopher. The author of the article argues the contrary: Hegelian themes are treated by Schulz with an ironic distance, and it is certain the w rite r read Hegel as his
closest friend, Debora Vogel, devoted her PhD dissertation to the author of The Phenomenology of Spirit. The influence of Hegel can be rather seen in Vogel's writings, as she
was fascinated by the avant-garde idea of progress pursued by the anonymous masses. Seemingly Schulz the bumpkin is behind but in the long run he went ahead of his friend,
because unlike her he stressed the subjective aspect of the avant-garde revolution. Jarzębski Wobec awangardy: Bruno Schulz i Debora Vogel
Homogenization of conservation laws with oscillatory source and non-oscillatory data
No full textWe consider a scalar conservation law with oscillatory, periodic source term and with oscillatory initial data.
For possibly resonant initial data, we prove a corrector-type result for this problem, extending a previous one by
the author [Asymptotic Anal. 46 (2006), 53-79]. Here we can relax the assumption of well-prepared data

Neon signs, underground tunnels and Chinese American identity : the many dimension of visual Chinatown
No full textThesis (S.M.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Comparative Media Studies, 2008."June 2008."Includes bibliographical references (p. 111-113).What is Chinatown? Is it an imaginary construct, a real location, or a community? Is it an ethnic enclave only available to insiders, or a fabricated environment designed specifically for tourists? This thesis attempts to reconcile the multiple ways in which Chinatowns in the U.S. are conceived, understood, and used by both insiders and outsiders of the community. By using Henri Lefebvre's triad of spatial analysis (as detailed in The Production of Space), I create an analytical narrative through which to understand the layered dimensions of Chinatown through the realms of perceived, conceived and lived space. In the first chapter, I closely analyze the visual landscape of an actual location, Tyler Street in Boston's Chinatown, in order to decipher the spatial (and therefore economic and cultural) practices that shape the environment. In chapter 2, I discuss the representations of Chinatown, or the space as it has been conceived by media makers including photographers, writers and filmmakers. By looking at these through the lens of tourism, I create a framework for analyzing the many cinematic depictions of the neighborhood. In the last chapter, I return to the actual spaces of lived Chinatowns, in particular San Francisco's Chinatown as captured in the independent film Chan is Missing (1981), and Boston's Chinatown, as exemplified by three Chinese restaurants in the area. I use Erving Goffman's idea of everyday performance in order to dissect the ways in which people and spaces perform "Chinese-ness" for outsiders of the community. By focusing all three chapters on the material, tangible artifacts of the physical environment, or what I call 'Visual Chinatown,' I hope to create a unified vision of how spaces are created in popular culture.by Debora A.

Violence, Chaos and Theophany in Habakkuk 3
No full textDivine violence often causes scandal, since the current image of divinity is one-dimensional, focused on features such as mercy, justice, forgiveness, etc. In reality, the Bible – First and New Testaments – is not afraid to present many faces of God, even those that are scandalous to us. The aim of this paper is to show the role of divine vio- lence in restoring order in the cosmos through the analysis of one of the most complex texts of the First Testament: Abakkuk 3. The restoration of the cosmic order is also the restoration of good and earthly justice. It is evident, however, that the world of the con- temporary reader is different from that of the author and his readers: textual analysis shows the distance that separates them and, at the same time, opens up a space of issues that solicits numerous questions about our way of place ourselves in front of religion and the divine, on our presuppositions and our expectations
Jean Baudrillard: cynism or truth?
No full textJean Baudrillard was one of the leading intellectuals of the twentieth century.
Baudrillard, who died on 6th March 2007 in Paris, conceived an acute observation and, on many
occasions, complex, ambiguous and difficult interpretation of contemporary society for him (and
us). Reassuming the observations that revolve around the French philosophy’s simulacra concept
during the 1960’s1, Baudrillard focused his attention on the relationship which is established
between this concept and the vast, symbolic horizon produced by the simulative condition present
in society.
Considered as being the father of the simulacra concept and according to this author, postmodern
society is differentiated from the previous period, the modern age, because of its being
organised in compliance with a new, simulation logic and on the continuous interchange of images
and signs. Differently, in fact, from modern society, which was structured according to the linear
and precise production logic; current society is based on the proliferation of codes, models and
signs and the new rules dictated by simulation.
Some, important thematic nucleuses and perspectives emerged from his analysis and shall be
expanded upon below
