The eBethArké Syriac digital library: a case study
No full textThe eBetharké Syriac Digital Library Portal is a collaborative effort between the libraries at Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey; and the Beth Mardutho Syriac Institute, a traditional library of texts; to create a specialized digital library collection online. This digital library features content in and relating to Syriac, an Aramaic dialect spoken in the 1st century A.D. and for which a great deal of historically significant documents were written during the period. This task required effort and research on multiple fronts, including software development; collaboration on technical, interpersonal, and policy-based levels; and in overcoming challenges related to the predominant computing platforms installed and in use by potential users of this digital library. This collaboration provided significant new challenges and learning experiences among the staff who worked on this project and provides a base upon which our digital library platforms can diversify and be more culturally aware.Peer reviewe

"We'll Imagine, Madam, you have a Beard":Beards and Early Female Playwrights
No full textThis chapter explores the use and reinvention of the beard by female playwrights of the early Restoration period. Whilst the role of the beard in relation to the production and reproduction of gender and sex identity on the professional stages of early modern London has come under increasing scrutiny by critics including Will Fisher and Eleanor Rycroft, the ways in which early female playwrights have subsequently utilised the beard has thus far not been the focus of any critical work. This paper will examine beards in works by canonical female playwrights such as Aphra Behn and Susannah Centlivre as well as in plays written by neglected authors such as Frances Boothby and Elizabeth Polwhele. In Polwhele’s The Frolicks (1671), for example, the false beard is a plot enabler in the hands of a female character, thus subverting the relationship between the beard and masculine authority. Clarabell, the spirited protagonist of the play, uses a false beard in order to author her own fate. Determined to marry the rakish Rightwit, despite his abrupt imprisonment as a debtor, she engineers a disguise plot in which she first cross dresses as a boy and then directs a performance of male-to-female impersonation, going on to hoodwink a jailor whilst having her lover steal from prison in a false beard which she provides. Through Clarabell, Polwhele uses the false beard to signify female authorial control and to stake a claim in the Restoration theatre; therefore, the use of the false beard in The Frolicks can be read as a moment in which the existing frameworks of a male-centric professional theatre are challenged. Throughout the works of early professional female playwrights, the beard is visible as a locus of power and autonomy reshaped for a burgeoning theatrical female participation
Charles Beard and the Second American Revolution
No full textСтатья посвящена анализу работ американского историка Чарльза Бирда, посвященных Гражданской войне в США 1861–1865 гг. и термину «Вторая американская революция». Основой источниковой базы является труд «Подъем американской цивилизации». Автор приходит к выводу, что в своих трудах Ч. Бирд преуменьшает значение аболиционизма и вопросов морали, основываясь лишь на экономических факторах. Тем не менее труды Ч. Бирда предопределили значительный сдвиг в историографии Гражданской войны, а термин «Вторая американская революция» прочно вошел в науку.The author analyzes the works of American historian Charles Beard, who wrote about the American Civil War and the term “Second American Revolution”. Beard’s approach to these topics is based only on economic factors, but he ignores moral issues. However, his writings determined a significant shift in historiography regarding the Civil War, as the term “Second American Revolution” became firmly embedded in historical discourse
