"Verbalize, Vocalize, Visualize" : Creative Death and Performative Writing in the Testimonies of Hillesum and Levi
No full textThe suggestive testimonies of Etty Hillesum and Primo Levi challenge us to reflect upon one of the most important questions of our time: What constitutes a human being? Thanks to the poetical function in their narratives, and taking into account the vulnerable communication between the authors and their readers, there are no answers given in their texts, only a serious call to take responsibility, cooperate with the text, and let it affect you. The author argues that their writing affects us and changes our perception of life as well as of our inner selves if we cooperate - critically and constructively - with the texts in question.</p
Anti-Malaria Study of Nigella sativa L. Seed Water Extract in Mus musculus Mice Balb C Strain In Vivo
Get PDFNigella sativa L. has been reported to exhibit many pharmacological effects, including anti-parasitic properties. This study investigated the anti-malarial effects of a water extract of N. sativa seed in Mus muculus mice infected with the Plasmodium berghei NK65 parasite. The method used was to take a blood parasitaemia count, following the use of Giemsa dye, determining the level of nitric oxide in mice that were infected with P. berghei malaria, using the spectrophotometric method, and determining their survival rate after 20 days of being infected with P. berghei malaria. The results showed that the decrease in the number of parasitaemia and the level of nitric oxide in subjects treated with doses of N. sativa was significant (p \u3c 0.05). Further results showed that P. berghei-infected mice that were given 100 µg/kg of body weight had a better chance of survival. The conclusion is that the provision of N. sativa may reduce the number of malaria parasites and reduce levels of NO. The decrease in the number of parasites may be caused by an immune mechanism, through the regulation of NO levels (lower levels of NO), due to the influence of the anti-oxidant effects of N. sativa. Survival rates of the mice did not show significant results with reduced levels of parasitaemia and NO. This is likely to be because the levels of NO in this group were below the threshold levels at which NO can function as an anti-parasitic. It is alleged that, while NO can function as an anti-parasitic at certain levels, at lower levels its function as an antiparasitic is not optimal. On the other hand, if the levels are too high, damage will result, because of the nature of free-radicals
Det som sitter i huvudet måste flytta ner i hjärtat : Etty Hillesum ur ett ortodoxt perspektiv
No full textEtty Hillesum's brief life met its tragic end at Auschwitz in the autumn of 1943, when she was just 29 years old, where, along with her family, she was brutally murdered by the Nazis. Luckily for us, though, she managed to leave behind a remarkably rich body of work, composed over the course of merely three years (1941-1943), which has moved – and bewildered – readers and scholars alike ever since its first publication in 1986. The 'problem', however, from a purely theological point of view, has been how (or if) one should interpret these mystical notebooks. This study aims to investigate the 'implicit author' in the text (and thus not necessarily Etty Hillesum herself) from a Christian, Orthodox perspective, with the intention of seeing how the Orthodox understanding of 'deification', θέωσις, comes to expression in it; and in so doing to see what the text, in turn, can teach us about the notion in question. This 'dialectical' approach is characteristic of the investigation. The study seeks to situate itself both (1) in the wider discussion on Etty Hillesum's life and work, where it hopes to bring new and constructive perspectives on how one can interpret her texts, and (2) in the field of Christian, Orthodox research. This latter field of study is fairly young and evolving, and it is my hope to be able to contribute to it, be it ever so little. The result shows that in order to grasp a notion in its entirety, and in order for it to become real in an ontological sense, it must first of all take root in a particular individual; and in the case of the text in question, where the author tries to come to grips with a nearly incomprehensible evil, the notion of 'Theosis' can be seen in many ways; in her emphasis on the personal over and above the social; in her ethical pursuit of 'helping God'; and in her reluctance to adhere to any 'organised religion' – although this, as I hope to show, can be interpreted as a 'Christian' inspiration

O diário de Etty Hillesum (1941-1942) : Uma leitura dos mecanismos de defesa
Get PDFDissertação de Mestrado apresentado no Instituto Superior de Psicologia Aplicada para obtenção do grau de Mestre na especialidade de Psicologia ClínicaO trabalho tem por objectivo analisar o Diário (1941-1942) da jovem judia, Etty
Hillesum, que morreu em Auschwitz, em Novembro de 1943. Inserida num ambiente
apocalíptico, Etty deixa transparecer as tensões do seu mundo numa linguagem
considerada profunda e rica, mas cujo estudo psicológico está ainda por fazer.
A fluidez do texto em estudo é, por si, reveladora de uma espontaneidade própria
de um Diário. O pensamento passa directamente para o papel sem estar demasiado
condicionado pela censura de um apertado filtro (o Superego) reflectindo, por isso, com
notável sinceridade, aspectos íntimos da autora, as suas dúvidas e análises, os seus
propósitos e ideais, os seus conflitos e receios. Reflecte a imagem de si e de outros, sua
labilidade emocional e, sobretudo, a evolução psicológica na fase última de vida. Deste
modo, a leitura do Diário permite-nos aceder à realidade subjectiva da autora. Entre
outros aspectos, procuramos compreender a função da escrita, como arma e forma de
resistência contra o horror que a rodeava. Por outro lado, tentamos perceber as
motivações inconscientes daquela que rejeitou desempenhar o papel de vítima. Com que
atitude enfrentou uma «situação extrema», situação que não escolheu, mas da qual
também não procurou escapar?
Partindo de pressupostos teóricos do modelo psicanalítico e recorrendo a um
método de análise qualitativa, o trabalho centra-se, fundamentalmente, na compreensão
dos mecanismos defensivos subjacentes à forma peculiar de actuar daquela que é um
testemunho vivo de umas das maiores tragédias da nossa história.This work tries to analyze the Diary (1941-1942) written by the young Jewish
woman, Etty Hillesum, who died in Auschwitz in November 1943. Immersed in an
apocalyptical environment, Etty shows the tensions of her world in a language both rich
and profound. But its psychological study has yet to be made.
The fluidity of the text is enough to reveal a spontaneity pertaining to a Diary.
The ideas flow and appear in the paper without being submitted to a tight filter
(Superego) showing with remarkable sincerity the inner world of the author, her doubts
and her analysis, her aims and her ideals, her conflicts and fear. It reflects her and other
people images, her emotional liability and chiefly her psychological evolution in the last
phase of her life. Therefore, by reading the Diary we become capable of understanding
the subjective reality of the author. Among other aspects, we try to understand the role
of writing as a weapon or a means of resisting the horror surrounding her. On the other
hand, we try to understand the subconscious motivations of someone who rejected the
role of victim. How did she face an «extreme situation» she didn’t choose but one she
didn’t try to flee from?
Based on the theoretical psychoanalytic models and using the qualitative
methodology, the work try to define the defensive mechanism underlying the peculiar
way of a woman who is a living witness of one of the most tragic events in our history
A Woman's All embracing of "the Other". Etty Hillesum as the Basis of a Pedagogy of care and attention

Opinie. Geen vrouw maar ook geen broeder. Het politieke vrijwilligerswerk van Henriette Roland Holst
No full textThe author argues that historians researching
women’s political careers should take the
personal ambitions of their subjects as their
starting point. The author and political activist
Henriette Roland Holst’s ideal was to develop
her literary talent while serving a not always
clearly defined cause. To be accepted by
her male heroes, she needed to deemphasise
her sex; acceptance of male norms was the
best strategy to gain autonomy and personal
freedom. Roland Holst probably never saw
this ‘male’ orientation as problematic. She
did not sympathise with the movement for
women’s suffrage and actively discouraged
feminists because she was of the opinion that
feminism was detrimental to the worker’s
struggle. Marxism and, later on, religious socialism
provided ample opportunities for her
poetry, her writing and her impressive oratory
ability. While men of her class needed to acquire
a position and to earn a living, a woman
could lead a satisfying life volunteering
