"Verbalize, Vocalize, Visualize" : Creative Death and Performative Writing in the Testimonies of Hillesum and Levi
No full textThe suggestive testimonies of Etty Hillesum and Primo Levi challenge us to reflect upon one of the most important questions of our time: What constitutes a human being? Thanks to the poetical function in their narratives, and taking into account the vulnerable communication between the authors and their readers, there are no answers given in their texts, only a serious call to take responsibility, cooperate with the text, and let it affect you. The author argues that their writing affects us and changes our perception of life as well as of our inner selves if we cooperate - critically and constructively - with the texts in question.</p

Produksi dan Evaluasi Antibodi Poliklonal untuk Deteksi Toksin Photorhabdus spp.
Get PDF<p>Production and Evaluation of Polyclonal Antibody for<br />Detection of Photorhabdus spp. Toxin. Yadi Suryadi, Ifa<br />Manzila, Alina Akhdiya, and Etty Pratiwi. The research<br />was aimed to produce and evaluate polyclonal antibody<br />(PAb) for specific Photorhabdus spp. bacterial toxin detection.<br />Photorhabdus spp. toxin of HJ isolates which was purified<br />using Hi Prep. 16/60 Sephacryl S-200 HR column chromatography<br />revealed three different peaks of polypeptides.<br />The results showed that the protein concentration of crude<br />antigen protein (supernatant) was 3,711 μg/μl, whilst fraction<br />of protein was 1,95 x 10-2 μg/μl, respectively. The bioassay<br />using Tenebrio molitor larvae-3 indicated that after 48 h<br />application, the percentage of larvae mortality by crude antigen<br />was lower (73%) than by fraction antigen (93%). Based<br />upon NCM-ELISA test, PAb of fraction protein derived from<br />HJ isolate reacted with Photorhabdus spp. antigen yielded<br />stronger or darker violet color on membrane than that of<br />crude protein. In addition, it was observed that PAb could<br />differentiate specifically Photorhabdus spp. toxin with other<br />bacterial filtrate such as Xanthomonas oryzae pv oryzae, X.<br />campestris pv glycinea, Ralstonia solanacearum, Pseudomonas<br />syringae pv glycinea and P. fluorescens, however it<br />showed cross reaction with Escherichia coli. Further tests<br />are needed in optimizing PAb-Photorhabdus spp. sensitivity<br />to achieve effective concentration for detection of Photorhabdus<br />spp. toxin as well as specificity test against other<br />bacterial antigens.</p></jats:p
Det som sitter i huvudet måste flytta ner i hjärtat : Etty Hillesum ur ett ortodoxt perspektiv
No full textEtty Hillesum's brief life met its tragic end at Auschwitz in the autumn of 1943, when she was just 29 years old, where, along with her family, she was brutally murdered by the Nazis. Luckily for us, though, she managed to leave behind a remarkably rich body of work, composed over the course of merely three years (1941-1943), which has moved – and bewildered – readers and scholars alike ever since its first publication in 1986. The 'problem', however, from a purely theological point of view, has been how (or if) one should interpret these mystical notebooks. This study aims to investigate the 'implicit author' in the text (and thus not necessarily Etty Hillesum herself) from a Christian, Orthodox perspective, with the intention of seeing how the Orthodox understanding of 'deification', θέωσις, comes to expression in it; and in so doing to see what the text, in turn, can teach us about the notion in question. This 'dialectical' approach is characteristic of the investigation. The study seeks to situate itself both (1) in the wider discussion on Etty Hillesum's life and work, where it hopes to bring new and constructive perspectives on how one can interpret her texts, and (2) in the field of Christian, Orthodox research. This latter field of study is fairly young and evolving, and it is my hope to be able to contribute to it, be it ever so little. The result shows that in order to grasp a notion in its entirety, and in order for it to become real in an ontological sense, it must first of all take root in a particular individual; and in the case of the text in question, where the author tries to come to grips with a nearly incomprehensible evil, the notion of 'Theosis' can be seen in many ways; in her emphasis on the personal over and above the social; in her ethical pursuit of 'helping God'; and in her reluctance to adhere to any 'organised religion' – although this, as I hope to show, can be interpreted as a 'Christian' inspiration
