Redemption in the work of Francis Stuart
Get PDFThe idea of redemption is central to an understanding of the work
of Francis Stuart. Through an examination of its development and
expression, it is possible to demonstrate the integrity of his work and
its distinctive qualities. Such a demonstration is necessary because
Stuart's writing has been subjected to comparatively little scholarly
inquiry, although reviews of his work, especially that produced since
1949, suggest that it is impressive and important.
First, a general background to Stuart's work, a discussion of the
special problems associated with reading it, and a summary of his corpus
is provided. This indicates that the idea of redemption is important to
his earliest writing. The state of redemption is shown to be a
necessary apotheosis for Stuart's outcast heroes; it involves spiritual
suffering through which may be found a sense of reintegration and a
higher reality. This is expressed through interrelated themes such as
those of gambler, artist and ordinary man; mystic and criminal; sacred
and profane love; and spirituality and the mundane. The nature of the
redemptive experience is further elaborated by distinctive, complex
motifs, especially the hare, the ark and the woman-Christ. Their
recurrence provides an important element in the unity of Stuart's work.
Because Stuart's idea of the outcast raises important biographical
questions, an examination of the relationship between Stuart's life and
his work is made. Finally, the way in which the idea of redemption
exists in the language structures of Stuart's novels is examined, with
especial reference to his most recent work, The High Consistory. The
thesis shows that the development of the these of redemption
demonstrates the integrity of Stuart's work

Prayer Kaddish
Get PDFKadiš je kratka liturgijska molitva sa eshatološkim fokusom koja se više puta izgovara tokom verske službe (uglavnom na aramejskom) kojom se veliča i slavi Bog. Takođe je i molitva ožalošćenih tokom prve godine žalosti. Kadiš je za sve Jevreje, i pobožne i slobodumne, uzvišen i svet i možda najpopularnija molitva u celokupnoj jevrejskoj liturgiji. Dr Fischer smatra da su njen postanak, razvoj, sadržaj, značaj, jezik i odnos ka spasenju duše malo poznati i da samo moć navike ovoj molitvi daje prividnu snagu. Zbog toga u članku “Molitva Kadiš” želi da protumači sadržaj ove divne molitve i da širu javnost upozna sa njenom istorijom. Govoreći o nastanku ove molitve autor nas upoznaje sa verovatnim izvorima koji se odnose na citate iz Talmuda i Mišne kao i na jednu staru potresnu bajku iz vremena Rab Akibe. Kadiš je prvobitno napisan na hebrejskom jeziku pa se tako citira i pojavljuje u Talmudu. Kasnije je u Vavilonu hebrejski tekst preveden na aramejski ali su odlomci starog hebrejskog teksta očevidno zadržani u delu molitve, koji se i danas govori subotom i praznicima pri iznošenju Tore. Dr Fischer smatra da je neobično da se ova najpoznatija i najčešće izgovarana molitva slabo ili nikako može razumeti te stoga analizira svaki stih posebno dajući nam potrebna objašnjenja i tumačenja. Na kraju rada govori o promenama koje se su događale tokom vremena i poredi prvobitni i savremeni sadržaj Kadiša.Kaddish is a short liturgical prayer with an eschatological focus that is pronounced several times during a religious service (mostly in Aramaic) which praises and glorifies God. There is also the prayer of the grieving during the first year of mourning. For all Jews, both religious and free-spirited, Kaddish is sublime and holy, and perhaps the most popular prayer in the entire Jewish liturgy. Dr. Fischer believes that its origin, development, content, significance, language, and attitude towards the salvation of the soul are slightly known and that only the power of habit gives this prayer illusory strength. That is why in the article "Prayer Kaddish" he wants to interpret the content of this wonderful prayer and to acquaint the general public with its history. Speaking about the origin of this prayer, the author introduces us to probable sources that refer to quotations from the Talmud and the Mishnah, as well as to an old shocking fairy tale from the time of Rab Akiba. Kaddish was originally written in Hebrew, so it is quoted and appears in the Talmud. Later, in Babylon, the Hebrew text was translated into Aramaic, but excerpts from the old Hebrew text were apparently retained in the part of the prayer, which is still spoken today on Saturdays and holidays during the presentation of the Torah. Dr. Fischer finds it unusual that this most famous and most often pronounced prayer can be poorly or not at all understood and therefore analyzes each verse separately giving us the necessary explanations and interpretations. At the end of the paper, he talks about the changes that have taken place over time and compare the original and modern content of Kaddish.Dr Leopold Fischer (1886-1941) bio je rabin u Daruvaru a potom nadrabin u Vršcu. Uređivao je "Jevrejski almanah" godišnjak Saveza rabina Kraljevine SHS, koji je izlazio od 1925 do 1930. Bio je član Glavnoga odbora Saveza jevrejskih opština Jugoslavije i član Upravnoga odbora biblioteke i muzeja grada Vršca. Autor je knjiga i tekstova koji i danas predstavljaju važan izvor u talmudskim studijama. Bio je osoba izuzetnog obrazovanja, govorio je 9 jezika, imao dva doktorata, dopisivao se s brojnim poznatim i uglednim ličnostima (Šalom Alejhem, Šalom Aš, Rabindranat Tagore). Nakon sloma Kraljevine Jugoslavije uhvaćen je i sa ostalim beogradskim Jevrejima deportovan u logor Topovske Šupe u Beogradu, gdje je stradao.Dr. Leopold Fischer (1886-1941) was a rabbi in Daruvar and senior rabbi in Vršac. He was edited "Jewish Almanac" - the yearbook of the Association of Rabbis of the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes, which was published from 1925 to 1930. He was a member of the Main Board of the Federation of Jewish Communities of Yugoslavia and a member of the Board of the Library and Museum of Vršac. He is the author of books and texts that still represent an important source in Talmudic studies. He was a person of exceptional education, he spoke nine languages, he had two doctorates, and he corresponded with many famous and respectable people (Shalom Aleichem, Shalom Ash, Rabindranath Tagore). After the collapse of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia, he was captured and deported with other Belgrade Jews to the Topovske Šupe camp in Belgrade, where he died
Demonstrating Interaction: The Case of Assistive Technology
Get PDFTechnology "demos"have become a staple in technology design practice, especially for showcasing prototypes or systems. However, demonstrations are also commonplace and multifaceted phenomena in everyday life, and thus have found their way into empirical research of technology use. In spite of their presence in HCI, their methodical character as a research tool has so far received little attention in our community. We analysed 102 video-recorded demonstrations performed by visually impaired people, captured in the context of a larger ethnographic study investigating their technology use. In doing so, we exhibit core features of demonstrational work and discuss the relevance of the meta-activities occurring around and within demonstrations. We reflect on their value as an approach to doing HCI research on assistive technologies (AT), for enabling shared understanding and letting us identify opportunities for design. Lastly, we discuss their implications as a research instrument for accessibility and HCI research more broadly
