Honour and recognition in the German novel of banditry ca 1800
No full textThis article performs a reading informed by Honneth’s theory of recognition of the two best-known German novels of banditry of the 1790s, Johann Heinrich Zschokke’s Abaellino der große Bandit (1794) and Christian August Vulpius’ Rinaldo Rinaldini (1799) in an effort to understand how popular literature participates in and reflects upon the discourse on honour and recognition around 1800. Its status as popular genre makes the novel of banditry (Räuberroman) a potentially interesting source on shifts in the theory and practice of honour as experienced by ordinary Europeans at the turn of the 19th century. The genre was found to relate to the honour discourse not directly, but in the manner of a heterotopia, simultaneously located outside that discourse and referentially connected to it. Taken in isolation, the novel of banditry is not an informative source on the changing role of honour and new patterns of intersubjective recognition in late 18th century Europe. Seen as part of a particular constellation of textual production and reception, however, the genre sheds light on the aporias of honour experienced by those socially marginal ‘new readers’ intent on exploiting literature in the struggle for enhanced social recognition.Peer reviewe
Eidoporisminae Esben-Petersen 1917
No full textSubfamily Eidoporisminae Esben-Petersen, 1917: 3 Original combination: Eidoporismus pulchellus Esben-Petersen, 1917: 4 Current combination: Eidoporismus pulchellus Esben-Petersen, 1917 Type locality: [“ Sydney”], Australia, New South Wales (state), Sydney (city) (3°51’54”S, 151°12’35”E). Holotype ♀ (by monotypy) with labels: (Fig. 1) Condition of type: good condition, meso- and metathorax glued on the pin, apex of right hindwing damaged. Missing parts: left flagellomeres, apical right flagellomeres. Comments: Esben-Petersen (1917) incorrectly attributed Eidoporismus to Kr̹ger (in litt.) when describing E. pulchellus. The author mentioned that the specimen was collected by Tillyard (Robert “Robin” John Tillyard), who was his friend and also forwarded to him a small lot of interesting material (see introduction of Esben-Petersen 1917). The specimen was part of Tillyard’s collection, which was donated to the NHM by Mrs Patricia “Pattie” Tillyard in 1939.Published as part of Martins, Caleb Califre & Price, Benjamin W., 2020, An annotated and illustrated catalogue of the Osmylidae collection (Neuroptera) at the Natural History Museum, London, pp. 1-61 in Zootaxa 4883 (1) on pages 8-9, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4883.1.1, http://zenodo.org/record/429604
The life and works of James Miller, 1704-1744, with particular reference to the satiric content of his poetry and plays.
No full textPhDJames Miller was born the son of a Dorset rector in 1704. He
was himself ordained, but acquired no benefice until just before his
early death, probably because of a scathing portrayal of the Bishop
of London in one of his verse satires. At Oxford he wrote a vivacious
comedy of humours, set in the University. Its production in 1730
began his dramatic career, at a time when the number of London
theatres had just doubled, and new dramatic forms were being invented.
In 1731 his poem Harlequin-Horace, a witty inversion of
the Ars Poetica, attacked pantomime and opera, but also painted a
lively portrait of the entire theatrical world, in the tradition of
the Dunciad.
After collaborating in a translation of Moliere's works Miller
wrote two plays based on this author. Of all his dramatic works
these were the most successful with his contemporaries, and were
followed by a modernisation of Much Ado, and a ballad-opera adapted
from an afterpiece by Jean-Baptiste Rousseau, and rendered highly
topical. Miller made similar use of a recent French comedy showing
a Red Indian's reactions to civilisation, a satiric "fable" by Walsh
and Voltaire's Mahomet. A large quantity of original material was
incorporated into most of these, and this is generally satirical in
nature. The Indian is made to voice almost egalitarian sentiments.
An afterpiece, "The Camp Visitants", satirised military inaction
in the war, and was apparently banned. The manuscripts of the six
plays produced after the Licensing Act bear the examiner's deletions,
and illustrate the nature of the censorship at this time.
Miller's greatest strength is probably his flexible, vigorously
colloquial dialogue. His political satire is mostly contained in
the poetry, which attacks Walpole's administration with increasing
vehemence through the seventeen-thirties, until its fall. In 1740
two poems that used Pope in symbolic contrast to Walpole caused a
sensation. In both poetry and plays Miller is also a social satirist,
who lays unusually strong emphasis on false taste and the deterioration
of culture
The clergy of the deaneries of Rochester and mailing in the diocese of Rochester, c. 1770 – 1870
No full textThis is a study of the concerns and life - style of the clergy of the established Church in two Kent Deaneries throughout the hundred year period, 1770 -1870. How far, it is considered, were episcopal hopes, which were expressed in the Charges of Bishop and Archdeacon, fulfilled in the parishes, especially in the matters of residence and education. The extent of non-residence is deduced from. such evidence as is available for the earlier part of the period and after 1830 from Visitation and other returns. The provision of Sunday Schools is used as an example of clerical response to a diocesan policy in the field of education. The exercise of patronage, residence, plurality, the length ofincumbencies, the employment of curates and their prospects, are looked at throughout the period. The provision of new churches, agrarian unrest, tithe and clerical emoluments, church rate, relationship with dissent, worship provision , the visitation process, the clergyman's role in society, the differing demands of town ministry and rural ministry are examined as events bring them to the fore . The priorities of successive bishops are noted and the lives of sample clergymen are taken for each period, both to flesh-out the statistics and to illustrate the evolving pattern of ministry
Paranoja jako chwyt retoryczny w kinie science fiction: Ex Machina Alexa Garlanda
No full textThe article analyzes paranoia as a rhetorical figure in science fiction cinema, focusing on Alex Garland’s Ex Machina. The author references the research of W.H. Hampton and V. Schroeder Burnham, who present paranoia as an adaptive mechanism. Additionally, the article examines its role in exaggerating the dangers associated with artificial intelligence, within the context of contemporary studies on cyber-paranoia. In Garland’s film, paranoia takes various forms, ranging from a natural distrust of technology to the heightened fears of the protagonist, Caleb, amplified by his interactions with his host, Nathan. To underscore elements related to AI, the author draws on the perspectives of A. Przegalińska, M. Tegmark, and N. Bostrom. Furthermore, the paper highlights the significant role of mythological motifs in the film, particularly the theme of katabasis. In conclusion, the article posits that paranoia serves as a critical survival tool for both humans and intelligent machines.The article analyzes paranoia as a rhetorical figure in science fiction cinema, focusing on Alex Garland’s Ex Machina.

Hemorrhage Rates and Risk Factors in the Natural History Course of Brain Arteriovenous Malformations
No full textBrain arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) are abnormal connections of arteries and veins, resulting in arteriovenous shunting of blood. Primary medical therapy is lacking; treatment options include surgery, radiosurgery, and embolization, often in combination. Judicious selection of AVM patients for treatment requires balancing risk of treatment complications against the risk of hemorrhage in the natural history course. This review focuses on the epidemiology, hemorrhage risk, and factors influencing risk of hemorrhage in the untreated natural course associated with sporadic brain AVM. © 2014 Springer Science+Business Media New York
