    DEBORA: Developing an Interface to Support Collaboration in a Digital Library

    No full text
    Interfaces 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

    On the avant-garde : Bruno Schulz and Debora Vogel

    No full text
    In 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.

    Homogenization of conservation laws with oscillatory source and non-oscillatory data

    No full text
    We 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

    Violence, Chaos and Theophany in Habakkuk 3

    No full text
    Divine 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 text
    Jean 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

    An Absent Narrator? The Structure of Narration in Debora Vogel's „Akacje kwitną. Montaże” („Acacias Bloom. Montages”)

    No full text
    For the author a polemics with the thesis concerning the “absence” of the narrator in Debora Vogel's novel Akacje kwitną. Montaże is the starting point for analysis of the narration structure of the work. The self-creating measures taken by the speaking subject, a distinct self-thematism and showing the very process of creating the novel world by means of proper techniques reveal the basic principle of the work's construction, which is the idea of creationism. At the same time these are manifestations of the experimental character of Vogel's fiction and of the peculiar game played by the narrator with the recipient with the use of tools typical of the novel
