Matthew Henry: The Bible, Prayer, and Piety – A Tercentenary Celebration
No full textThe summer of 2014 marked the tercentenary of the death of Matthew Henry (1662–1714), a leading figure among early eighteenth-century Dissenters and author of the six-volume Exposition of the Old and New Testaments (1707–1714/25). This monumental work, which by 1855 had already been published in twenty-five different editions, attempted a peculiarly practical approach to the biblical text and continues to be widely used and readily accessible even today in both print and online versions. The theme of foreign (or ‘strange’) wives and Israelite intermarriage is one which occurs throughout the Hebrew Bible and, accordingly, throughout Matthew Henry’s commentary upon it. Where it appears, the practice of intermarriage is characterized by Henry as (at best) unwise and (at worst) a very real threat to both social and religious cohesion. This essay explores how Henry deals with the issue of ‘strange wives’, why he believes they continue to pose a threat, and (in view of the overall intention of his commentary) what ‘practical observations’ he offers to his reader as a result. In doing so it is argued that Henry’s commentary traces a thematic thread from the ante-diluvian age to the post-exilic period of calamities resulting from mixed marriages between ‘professors of religion’ and their ‘strange wives’
Citation expectations: are they realized? Study of the Matthew index for Russian papers published abroad
No full textWe consider the "Matthew effect" in the citation process which leads to reallocation (or misallocation) of the citations received by scientific papers within the same journals. The case when such reallocation correlates with a country where an author works is investigated. Russian papers in chemistry and physics published abroad were examined. We found that in both disciplines in about 60% of journals Russian papers are cited less than average ones. However, if we consider each discipline as a whole, citedness of a Russian paper in physics will be on the average level, while chemistry publications receive about 16% citations less than one may expect from the citedness of the journals where they appear. Moreover, Russian chemistry papers mostly become undercited in the leading journals of the field. Characteristics of a "Matthew index" indicator and its significance for scientometric studies are also discussed

Symbolic and Associative Character of Matthew O’Connor in Djuna Barnes’ “Ryder” and “Nightwood”
No full textკონფერენცია ეძღვნება მეიფლაუერის ხელშეკრულების დადების მე-400 წლისთავს/ The 2020 Annual conference of the American Studies is dedicated to the 400th Anniversary of the Signing of the Mayflower CompactThe multifaceted and heterogeneous nature of characters, being a landmark characteristic
of modernist literature, is also reflected in the novels of Djuna Barnes, particularly in “Ryder”
and “Nightwood”. This paper aims to discuss nature of polysemic characters based on Matthew
O’Connor. Barnes portrayed homosexual and transvestite gynecologist Matthew O’Connor,
living in Paris as a primary figure in “Nightwood”, who also appears in Ryder” as a family
doctor. Barnes depicted O’Connor possessing multiple identities from multiple epochs and with
claims to have a prehistoric memory, in both novels, thus emphasizing that his eternity is
everlasting.
Unlicensed gynecologist Dr. Matthew O'Connor describes being trapped inside a man's
body. Witnessing the birth of every child in family and facing the fact that he can never be
mother O’Connor wants to be their mentor as well. He will never have a chance to feel
different experiences of his patients during pregnancy and childbirth. There is no greater pain
than what is caused by the doubts of incompleteness and barrenness, O’Connor is trapped by
dogma - he is forced to live under pressure of other people's thinking, going against his own
inner voice.
Barnes accomplishes much of her message through the figure of Dr. Matthew O’Connor
in “Nightwood”. As already mentioned, O'Connor is an American who practices medicine
without a license in Paris during the 1920s. He has deep understanding that life itself is
meaningless. Based on O'Connor's first-person monologues Barnes offers a Tiresian character of
expatriate Irish-American character.
The character of Matthew O’Connor, in both of Djuna Barnes’ novels became not only
the echo of the epoch but also the symbol of inseparable concepts - human and suffering
An Interview with Matthew Kaiser on Competition and Play
No full textAn Interview with Matthew Kaiser on Competition and Play, by Sean Scanlan. Matthew Kaiser, the author of The World in Play: Portraits of a Victorian Concept (Stanford UP, 2012) says that “[c]ompetition is the disease from which modern life suffers,” and that “[c]ompetition is the only cure” for this suffering. This contradictory pairing seems to get at the heart of his thesis: play, as a totalizing, umbrella-like concept, emanates from a host of philosophical, political, and scientific work produced by Victorians who posed many of their ideas of play in sports metaphors, competitive logics, and narratives of struggle. Kaiser goes beyond the dichotomy of competition and play/competition or play, by stating “I’m interested in the totalizing potential of both concepts, the way that play, or competition for that matter, swallows the world whole, becomes in the minds of so many people, the organizing principle of reality, whether of culture or nature or consciousness, or of all three.

Matthew and Mark
No full textThe author of the Gospel of Matthew was arguably the very first Christian seeking to rejudaize Jesus of Nazareth. Throughout two millennia, and undeniably most intensively during the last half-century, many students of the Bible have followed in his footsteps. Although he was successful in many respects, we must not forget who paid the price for his endeavour: the Pharisees, the proto-Rabbis and the Founding Fathers of those we know as the Jewish people, those whom Jesus knew as his own
