Berl Pomerantz: The last Hebrew poet in Poland
No full textA poet whose first artistic ventures were rooted in an atmosphere of romantic nostalgia, Berl Pomerantz matured through his work as a modernist, in the modern era, as the last Hebrew poet on Polish soil. Pomerantz's poetry, characterized by distinct colors, textures, and stylistic ideals formally distinguishes itself from that of his cohorts.In my work I trace the development of Pomerantz's writing from the romantic tradition to the sobering tone of post-romantic works. Along the way, Pomerantz pierces the illusion of romanticism and wavers constantly between these two poles. Such hues and textures are gradually revealed through comparison with poets such as Fogel, Shlonsky, Ben-Itzhak, Lerner and others.Essentially, Pomerantz's work confronts a dual and dialectic reality and exposes it as such. In its attempts to bridge these disparities, his poetry constructs its environment by using foundations borrowed from modern music and painting. Consequently, it expresses itself in its musicality and its attempts at abstraction; modes which are prevalent in the works of Debussy, Schoenberg and Kandinsky.In seeking to exercise the potential of language, Berl Pomerantz explored the sense and rhythm of naturalistic discourse. His basis was the language of the Bible which itself possesses a natural flow and lacks the superficial mechanics of meter and rhyme. Instead of using the conventional techniques, Pomerantz developed a series of alternative rhythmic patterns based on the internal arrangement and composition of a poem which, in turn, helped shape the sound and the meaning of words. He utilized acoustic measurements in constructing his poetic world; a world which absorbed the sounds of phenomenon and translated them into impressions and images.Due to the sophistication of Berl Pomerantz's writing, especially his free verse, it may at times require an unconventional reading; multi-directional and cyclical rather than linear. The musical quality of his writing invites involvement in the acoustic measurement which, like music itself, engages the visceral reflex to systematic rhythm. As such, one finds that Pomerantz's poetry succeeds in contacting the reader on three distinct yet intertwined levels: the ear, the intellect and the eye.Thesis (Ph.D.)--New York University, 1998.School code: 0146
Including excluded adolescent boys: discursive constructions of identity
No full textThe main aim of this thesis is to problematise discourse relating to adolescent boys in
order to gain a better understanding of the persistent practice of exclusion and to seek
to highlight examples of how discourse can position boys in ways that are more
inclusive. In doing so this work is an attempt to theorise my practice as a researcherpractitioner
educational psychologist, to be reflexive and to raise my consciousness of
the means by which professionals, parents and I can both liberate and limit the ways
in which the identity of excluded adolescent boys becomes discursively constructed.
Taking a predominantly relativist and post structuralist position I propose a model
based on Lacanian theory integrated with methods of analysing discourse, 'a critical
discursive psychology' which frames and guides the research process throughout. As
the thesis unfolds my initial intention to pursue the research topic from a linguisticdiscursive
perspective becomes influenced by a psychoanalytical dimension as the
limitations of a purely discursive approach become apparent. My attempt to take a
psychoanalytical reading of the discourse data draws attention to unconscious
processes that may influence the signifying of some adolescent boys as either
pathological or deviant and enables me to speculate as to why such discourses persist
whilst others are repressed. However, and most importantly to this study, by exposing
through the discourse analysis how discourse constructs the identity of some
adolescent boys at both a societal and individual level, I am able to reveal that
discursive constructions of the identity of adolescent boys are also open to resistance
and change. This in tum provides rich possibilities for future research and practice
<i>Raison euclidienne et noneuclidienne dans l'œuvre de Dostoïevski</i> de Grigori Pomerantz : traduction et commentaire
No full textCe travail de recherche est une traduction commentée de l'article de Grigori Pomerantz Raison euclidienne et noneuclidienne dans l'œuvre de Dostoïevski (1970) qui fait partie du recueil Ouverture à l'abîme. Rencontres avec Dostoïevski (Otkrytost' bezdne. Vstreči s Dostoevskim) publié en 1990 à Moscou. L'article analyse chez Dostoïevski le passage entre la noirceur stérile des Carnets du sous-sol (1864) et l'éblouissement cathartique qui caractérise ses œuvres postérieures. Dans cette étude à la croisée de l'Orient et de l'Occident, l'auteur des Karamazov côtoie aussi bien la mystique chrétienne et la théologie négative que le bouddhisme zen et la relativité einsteinienne
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

Author Under Sail The Imagination of Jack London, 1893-1902
No full textIn Author Under Sail, Jay Williams offers the first complete literary biography of Jack London as a professional writer engaged in the labor of writing. It examines the authorial imagination in London's work, the use of imagination in both his fiction and nonfiction, and the ways he defined imagination in the creative process in his business dealings with his publishers, editors, and agents. In this first volume of a two-volume biography, Williams traverses the years 1893 to 1902, from London's "Story of a Typhoon" to The People of the Abyss. The Jack London who emerges in the pages of Author Under Sail is a writer whose partnership with publishers, most notably his productive alliance with George Brett of Macmillan, was one of the most formative in American literary history. London pioneered many author models during the heyday of realism and naturalism, blurring the boundaries of these popular genres by focusing on absorption and theatricality and the representation of the seen and unseen. London created an impassioned, sincere, and extremely personal realism unlike that of other American writers of the time. Author Under Sail is a literary tour de force that reveals the full range of London as writer, creative citizen, and entrepreneur at the same time it sheds light on the maverick side of machine-age literature.Intro -- Title Page -- Copyright Page -- Dedication -- Contents -- Acknowledgments -- Introduction -- 1.

Author in Essay by I. A. Goncharov “Pepiniere”
No full textFeatures of the embodiment of the author’s position in the essay by I. A. Goncharov “Pepiniere” are considered. The relevance of the study is due to the poorly studied poetics of this work. A review of the scientific literature on relevant topics is performed. Methodological and theoretical definitions are given. The scientific novelty of the article is in the fact that for the first time attention is paid to artistic techniques that allow to identify the author's position in the specified literary text. The author of the article grounds her opinion from the fact that, despite the dominance of the subjective point of view, other characters’ views stand out in the work. It is concluded in the study that the text of the work represents a biographical author and author-creator. It was established that the position of the author-creator is expressed through the title, epigraphs, which are quotes, as well as through different points of view, including the author-character, the author-narrator, the characters of the work. The author of the article dwells in detail on different ways of expressing the points of view of the author-character and the author-narrator. It is proved that the point of view of the author-character and the author-narrator can intersect, they are interchanged. The author's development of the term comic “point of view” is presented in the article
Optimandes eugenia Willmott & Marín & Nakahara & Pomerantz & Lamas & Huertas & Espeland & Xiao & Hall & Robinson Willmott & Freitas 2019, n. comb.
No full text<i>Optimandes eugenia</i> (C. Felder & R. Felder, 1867), n. comb. Figs. 1-6 <p> <b>Diagnosis and identification</b>: <i>Optimandes eugenia</i> <b>n. comb.</b> is easily distinguished from the only other member of the genus, <i>Optimandes mocha</i> <b>n. sp.</b>, as described under that species. It is superficially similar to a number of other euptychiines, but the very pronounced, single-pupilled VHW ocelli in cells Cu 2 -Cu 1 and M 2 -M 1 and highly reduced ocelli between them, coupled with the undulate dark postdiscal line on the VHW, are distinctive.</p> <p> <b>Taxonomy</b>: <i>Optimandes eugenia</i> contains two subspecies that were formerly placed in different genera until united by Lamas (2004). The two taxa show little divergence in the DNA barcode (Fig. 1), share a distinctive, sclerotized plate ventral of the ostium bursae (Fig. 5 B; male genitalia of the nominate subspecies were not examined), occur at similar elevations, and share a number of distinctive wing pattern characters that suggest they are conspecific. These wing pattern characters include the very similar arrangement of submarginal ocelli on the VHW that is unique within the Euptychiina in terms of the relative size and shape of ocelli in different cells, namely very large ocelli in cells Cu 2 -Cu 1 and M 2 -M 1, a small but distinct ocellus in cell Cu 1 -M 3 and a virtually obsolete ocellus in cell M 3 -M 2 (in some otherwise very similar <i>Hermeuptychia</i>, the ocelli in cells Cu 1 - M 3 and M 3 - M 2 may be small but distinct, or virtually obsolete, but are similar in both cells), and a small ocellus in cell 2A-Cu 2 (absent, for example, in <i>E. nossis</i>); in addition, the ocelli that are each surrounded by a yellow ring that is well-defined and narrow, and have a single central white pupil (Fig. 2), are further useful distinguishing characters. The undulate dark postdiscal line on the VHW is also distinctive and shared between the taxa, although the nominate subspecies has a straighter dark VHW discal line than <i>O. e. transversa</i>. Mimicry with other cloud forest euptychiines is a possible explanation for the principal difference between the two taxa, namely the large white patch of scaling on the VHW of <i>O. e. transversa</i>, as discussed further below.</p> <p> <b>Distribution and natural history:</b> This species is known from northern Venezuela, western Ecuador and from the east Andean slopes of Ecuador south to Bolivia, in cloud forest from 1000-2200 m elevation (Fig. 6). The immature stages of <i>O. e. transversa</i> are described under that taxon.</p>Published as part of <i>Willmott, Keith R., Marín, Mario A., Nakahara, Shinichi, Pomerantz, Tatiana, Lamas, Gerardo, Huertas, Blanca, Espeland, Marianne, Xiao, Lei, Hall, Jason P.
