Dear Friends of the Bryant Service Club,
Received your fine gift yesterday. Although it had been sent via Virginia and detoured through Jefferson Barracks, I received in time for Xmas in good shape. I wish to thank you very much for your thoughtfullness [sic].
While in J. B. I had the pleasure of living in the same barracks with one of our Bryant Alumni, Robert Bernstein. It was a very happy reunion.
I hope that you all have had an enjoyable holliday [sic] and that the new year brings you much success.
Yours sincerely,Charles A. Wiesel[Transcription ends

Memoirs of Perseverance: Episodic Memory in Elie Wiesel\u27s Night
No full textEpisodic memory is the neurocognitive system that allows humans to recall past experiences. The individual memories of these experiences are referred to as short-term objectives, which describe a unique relationship with time. The concept of episodic memory is not a reference to specific tasks but a hypothetical system operating beyond preserved information and mental experiences. It does not consist of individual bits of information but involves multiple components of a single event bound together. Elie Wiesel\u27s Night recounts the personal experience of the author in a concentration camp during the period of the Holocaust. The paper attempts to analyze how Tulving\u27s episodic memory theory has been used in the characters of Elie Wiesel\u27s Night. Furthermore, it will explore how Wiesel used the tool of episodic memory objectives in his novel to show the true faces of society and further investigate how the novel portrays personal experiences and contextual details about autonoetic consciousness, mental time travel, subjective nature, temporal order, and neurological basis

Topographic relations between ocular dominance and orientation columns in the cat striate cortex
No full textLöwel S, Bischof H-J, Leutenecker B, Singer W. Topographic relations between ocular dominance and orientation columns in the cat striate cortex. Experimental Brain Research. 1988;71(1):33-46.In the visual cortex of four adult cats ocular dominance and orientation columns were visualized with (3H)proline and (14C)deoxyglucose autoradiography. The two columnar systems were reconstructed from serial horizontal sections or from flat-mount preparations and graphically superimposed. They share a number of characteristic features: In both systems the columns have a tendency to form regularly spaced parallel bands whose main trajectory is perpendicular to the border between areas 17 and 18. These bands frequently bifurcate or terminate in blind endings. The resulting irregularities are much more pronounced in the ocular dominance than in the orientation system. The periodicity of the columnar patterns was assessed along trajectories perpendicular to the main orientation of the bands and differed in the two columnar systems. The spacing of the ocular dominance stripes was significantly narrower than the spacing of orientation bands. The mean periodicity of a particular columnar system was virtually identical in the two hemispheres of the same animal but it differed substantially in different animals. However, the spacing of orientation columns covaried with that of the ocular dominance columns, the ratios of the mean spacings of the two columnar systems being similar in the four cats. The superposition of the two columnar systems revealed no obvious topographic relation between any of the organizational details such as the location of bifurcations, blind endings and intersections. We suggest the following conclusions: 1. The developmental processes generating the two columnar systems seem to obey the same algorithms but they act independently of each other. 2. The space constants of the two systems are rigorously specified and appear to depend on a common variable. 3. The main orientation of the bands in both columnar systems is related to a) the representation of the vertical meridian, b) the anisotropy of the cortical magnification factor, and c) the tangential spread of intracortical connections

Critical Comparative Approaches to Testimonial Literature Emergent from the Holocaust and the Atomic Bombings
No full textThe thesis offers a critical comparative reading of testimonial literature emergent from the Holocaust and the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Through identifying aspects of thematic and stylistic commonality between these literatures, this thesis aims towards establishing a series of narrative traits that characterise the testimonial genre. This comparative stance informs the structure of the thesis, in that each chapter deals with examples of testimonies emergent from the Holocaust and the atomic bombings. Chapter one engages with the history of autobiography criticism and genre theory, and through close readings of both testimonial and autobiographical works by Primo Levi and Elie Wiesel, posits areas of potential difference between the two forms of life-writing. The traditional understanding of the autobiographical contract, as defined by Philippe Lejeune, is challenged through a comparative analysis of the way in which the self is constructed in Holocaust and A-bomb testimonies. Chapter two focuses on the narrative challenges posed by the encounter with trauma. Informed by structuralist theories of language and critical readings of testimonial writing, this chapter examines the way in which the experience of trauma intensifies the arbitrary nature of the relationship between language and experience, to the extent that language appears to fail. Drawing on Blanchot's theory of the communicative possibilities of silence, the thematic and stylistic representation of silence, in its many forms, is considered in the context of Holocaust and A-bomb testimonies. Chapter three explores the representation of the female experience in testimonial texts. Beginning with Cixous' and Irigaray's theories of écriture féminine and fémininité as an interpretative lens with which to approach women's narratives, this chapter considers the way in which women's testimonies are influenced by both a poetics of gender and a poetics of trauma
