Abstract
Framing it in her own memories and from a personal prism, Magda initially approaches the figure of Beauvoir considering the author in the autobiography of her work, and dwelling on her relationships and the tandem formed with Sartre. Once the person is considered, Magda turns to the author, entering into a discussion of "The Second Sex", and critically reviewing many of the positions adopted by Beauvoir in this work. Lastly, Magda analyzes the situation of a “transmodern feminism” examining its link with movements such as Existentialism and highlighting the challenges that still remain today regarding the conceptions that shape the image of women

Comics by Magda Dulčić
No full textOvaj diplomski rad se fokusira na analizu strip opusa, stvaralačkih faza i umjetničkog izraza Magde Dulčić (1965. – 2016. g.), te njen autorski značaj i podstrek u okvirima razvojne perspektive nacionalnog stripa. Na tragu invencija koje unosi grupa Novi kvadrat, a u suradnji s njihovim pripadnikom, Krešimirom Zimonićem, Magda Dulčić od 1985. g. kreira mnoštvo stripova za fanzine, omladinsku štampu, dnevne novine, strip magazine i dječje časopise. Njeni radovi objavljivani su na stranicama Lucifera, Kurir, Patka, Vidika, Poleta, Večernjeg lista, Flita, Comicona, Modre laste, Arkzina, Prvog izbora i Oblutka. Svojom autentičnom poetikom izraza se izdvaja kao jedna je od prvih relevantnih autorica na strip sceni. Prepoznali su to i njeni kolege, kritičari popularne kulture i povjesničari umjetnosti, stoga je 1988. godine nagrađena za strip inovaciju na 4. Salonu jugoslavenskog stripa u Vinkovcima. Iduća etapa u karijeri je kolaboracija sa suprugom Zvonkom Todorovskim, unutar multimedijalne grupe Divlje oko, gdje plasiraju stripove namijenjene galerijskom gledanju, a u izrazu Magda Dulčić pokazuje rezolutnu nadogradnju stila. Istovremeno, ostvaruje ciklus stripova za djecu u kojima pokazuje koherentan i jasan izričaj, suptilnih intervencija i eksperimenata. U posljednjim samostalnim stripovima, autorica ostvaruje djela lirskih, intimnih i intuitivnih preokupacija.This thesis focuses on the analysis of comics, creative phases and versatile artistic expression of Magda Dulčić (1965-2016), and her outstanding significance within the development of Croatian national comics. The multi-facetness of artistic interest is the main characteristic of Magda Dulčić as an artist, which makes her opus an intriguing subject for analysis. Following the inventions introduced by the group Novi kvadrat, and under the auspices of their member, Krešimir Zimonić, Magda Dulčić has been, since the early 1980's, creating many comics for fanzines, youth press, daily newspapers, comic magazines and children's magazines. Her comics can be found on the pages of Lucifer, Kurir, Patak, Vidici, Polet, Večernji list, Flit, Comicon, Modra lasta, Arkzin, Prvi izbor and Oblutak. The comics created by Magda Dulčić have an easily recognized style and characteristic formal elements. With her authentic poetics of expression, she stands out as one of the first relevant female authors on the comic art scene. Her colleagues, critics of popular culture and art historians also recognized this, so in 1988 she was awarded for comic innovation at the 4th Salon of Yugoslav Comics in Vinkovci. The next stage in her career was a collaboration with her husband, Zvonko Todorovski, within the multimedia group Divlje oko, where they created comics intended for gallery viewing. Regarding her expression, Magda Dulčić shows a more resolute change of style, thematically, visually and technically more complex. At the same time, she creates a cycle of comics for children in which she shows coherent and clear expressions, subtle interventions and experiments. In her latest independent comics, from 2010 until 2016, the author created works in which she displayed lyrical, intimate and intuitive preoccupations
Simone de Beauvoir, a transmodern reading
No full textEnmarcándola en sus propios recuerdos y desde un prisma personal, Magda se acerca inicialmente a la figura de Beauvoir considerando a la autora en lo autobiográfico de su obra, y deteniéndose en sus relaciones y en el tándem formado con Sartre. Una vez considerada la persona, Magda se vuelve hacia la autora adentrándose en una discusión de “El Segundo Sexo”, y repasando críticamente muchos de los posicionamientos adoptados por Beauvoir en esta obra. En último lugar, Magda analiza la situación de un “feminismo transmoderno” examinando su vinculación con movimientos como el Existencialismo y subrayando los retos que hoy en día siguen pendientes en torno a las concepciones que configuran la imagen de mujer.Initially Magda approaches Beauvoir from a personal perspective, framing her in her own memories. Focusing on the autobiographical dimension of her work, she explores Beauvoir’s relationships and as Sartre’s partner. After considering Beauvoir as person, she turns to her as author to discuss “The Second Sex” and to critically examine the French author’s work. Finally, Magda analyses the situation of what she calls “transmodern feminism”, revising its connections with movements such as Existentialism and underlying the challenges that yet today mark the conceptualizations delineating the female image
A Fine Toothed Comb
No full textThe publication includes: essays by Lubaina Himid, Lauren Elkin, author of Art Monsters: Unruly Bodies in Feminist Art, Flaneuse: Women Walk the City in Paris, New York, Tokyo, Venice and London, and Clarissa Corfe.
Edited by Beth Hughes. Designed by Pony Ltd, London.
A Fine Toothed Comb was an exhibition curated by Turner Prize-winning artist Lubaina Himid. Bringing together new commissions by Himid as well as artists Magda Stawarska, Rebecca Chesney and Tracy Hill, the exhibition focussed on unearthing hidden layers within the city of Manchester.
Through four unique installations spanning painting on found objects, multi-screen moving image, site-specific drawing and sound compositions, the artists’ work uncovered invisible geological, historical, environmental and political layers of the city. From hidden waterways and disappearing wildlife, to lost music and communities hidden in plain sight, A Fine Toothed Comb invited us to look closer at what surrounds us. This is the first time all four artists’ work was presented together, following many years of discussion and collaboration.

From Accidental to Intentional Library Management: The RISWS Approach
No full textIn Brief: Considering that just one of the two ALA-accredited MLIS programs in Illinois requires completion of even a single management course, good management practice is often left to on-the-job happenstance. How do you manage the personnel and political dynamics of your team when you can’t stop the clock and go to a management seminar? How do you find out what’s making your people dread coming into work and find solutions that engage and empower them and benefit your library? This article describes the process and findings from a project, funded by a grant from Consortium of Academic and Research Libraries in Illinois (CARLI) for the 2015-2016 academic year, to train a small cohort of academic librarians in a practical, hands-on management system called Recording/Interpreting/Solving Workflow Solutions
Light signal study of cosmic rays in the ICARUS detectors
No full textThe ICARUS liquid argon TPC, currently placed at Fermilab, is collecting data since 2022 exposed to Booster Neutrino Beam (BNB) and NuMi off-axis beam within the SBN program. A light detection system, based on PMTs deployed behind the TPC wire chambers, is in place to detect vacuum ultraviolet photons produced by ionizing particles in liquid argon. This system is fundamental for the detector operation, providing an efficient trigger and contributing to the 3D reconstruction of events. Moreover, since the TPC is exposed to a huge flux of cosmic rays due to its operations at shallow depths, the light detection system allows for the time reconstruction of events, contributing to the identification and to the selection of neutrino interactions within the beam spill gates. This contribution focuses on the light signals study devoted to improve the agreement between data and MC. In particular, the MC is tuned on data-basis modifying the light simulation's parameters related to the gain and to the quantum efficiency. © Copyright owned by the author(s) under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 International License (CC BY-NC-ND 4.0)
