Author Meets Critics: Sandra Braman
No full textThe publication of Sandra Braman’s Change of State signals the importance of the topic of information policy to the field of information studies. It also illustrates both the power and necessity of the kind of inter-disciplinary analysis that characterizes the field. This panel will provide an opportunity for both structured debate and lively discussion around Change of State and the important arguments it contains. Perhaps the most important one that it makes is that “trends in information policy both manifest and trigger change in the nature of governance itself.” That is, Braman points to how information flows have radically altered the nature of the traditional nation-state and its ability to exercise power (or fails to, as the case may be).
Because of i-Schools’ strong connections with the professional world of information institutions, it is particularly important for graduates to understand the far-reaching implications of this argument. On a practical level, graduates need to become conversant with both the varied manifestations of information policy, and the mechanisms by which such policy is enacted. Change of State provides a highly useful synthesis of all the major debates in the field of information policy (including identity, immigration, innovation policy, etc.), organizing them into a comprehensive analytical framework, along with extensive bibliographic essays.
The format of this session will involve each speaker presenting a 15 minute paper which will discuss Change of State from their own disciplinary perspective. Prof. Braman will then respond to the papers. The presentations will be followed by a question and answer period with the audience. The goal is to offer both structured debate around key arguments presented in the book, while offering an opportunity for the audience to interact with the speakers. The speakers are all leaders in the field, well-informed of Dr. Braman’s work, and chosen with the goal of maximizing disciplinary perspectives (Lievrouw: communication policy; Mueller: political science; Jackson: science and technology studies).Submitted by Heekyung Choi ([email protected]) on 2010-03-11T15:43:29Z

Sandra Vidak is a postdoctoral fellow in the lab of Tom Misteli at the National Cancer Institute, NIH, Bethesda, Maryland, USA, investigating how the impairment of protein quality control mechanisms contributes to the progression of the premature ageing disease Hutchinson–Gilford Progeria Syndrome (HGPS).</jats:p
Ograniczenie rozprawy do poszczególnych zarzutów lub zagadnień wstępnych
No full textJak wynika z tytułu rozprawy, materią rozważań jest ograniczenie rozprawy do poszczególnych zarzutów lub zagadnień wstępnych, a więc przepis art. 220 k.p.c. Analizą objęte zostały przyczyny i skutki wykorzystania art. 220 k.p.c., a także sposób, w jaki regulacja ta powinna być stosowana. Badanie obejmuje więc zarówno elementy statyczne, takie jak szczegółowa analiza przedmiotu rozprawy ograniczonej, ustalenie podmiotu inicjującego ograniczenie rozprawy oraz formy ograniczenia, jak i elementy dynamiczne, dotyczące właściwego momentu ograniczenia rozprawy, przebiegu rozprawy ograniczonej, możliwości odwołania ograniczenia oraz procedowania po wydaniu orzeczenia kończącego postępowanie w ramach rozprawy ograniczonej. Dodatkowo wskazać trzeba, że w ramach badań dokonane zostało porównanie instytucji ograniczenia rozprawy do kodeksowych regulacji
o zbliżonym celu lub charakterze. Porównanie to wykorzystano dla zobrazowania możliwości zastosowanie art. 220 k.p.c. oraz konieczności prawidłowego doboru instytucji do potrzeb konkretnej sprawy sądowej

Cartas a Sandra : a simbiose entre o privado e o filosófico
No full textDissertação de Mestrado em Estudos Portugueses Multidisciplinares apresentada à Universidade AbertaO ónus desta pesquisa recai sobre a análise do romance Cartas a Sandra, uma obra de Vergílio Ferreira, intimista e confessional, que, num derradeiro exercício de arte poética, conglutina temas e elementos fulcrais na conceção de um todo universal, promovendo, numa coerência fenomenológica, a junção de composições que dialogam intensamente entre si.
Dum vasto território literário, elegemos o romance epistolar, diário memorialístico ou ensaio sobre a vida, cujo sentido de contiguidade se revela no encerramento que o mesmo constitui no que diz respeito não só às obras vergilianas,
como à vida do próprio autor. Por conseguinte, no presente trabalho, procuraremos destacar o romance como espaço privilegiado, passível de realizar a síntese do pensamento vergiliano sob diversas formas de expressão. Assumindo uma perspetiva hermenêutica, procederemos à análise da obra com base na interpretação, colocando
diferentes questionamentos que cercam a construção ficcional do texto em estudo.
Assim, numa primeira instância, e sempre de acordo com uma atitude que pretendemos seja rigorosa, analisaremos, por um lado, os caminhos teóricos das correntes do neorrealismo e do existencialismo que permeiam a construção ficcional do romance em estudo; por outro lado, estabeleceremos as características do registo
epistolar, contrapondo as suas diversas manifestações.
Sequentemente, procuraremos contextualizar histórica e culturalmente a obra em análise, optando por uma incursão exaustiva no romance Cartas a Sandra. Neste sentido, tentaremos compreender a significação que presidiu à seleção do género epistolar, de reduzida informatividade, para a produção dos textos, determinando a sua
funcionalidade, na ótica da estética jaussiana da recepção.
Concludentemente, procederemos a um estudo comparativo com outras obras do autor, numa afinidade dialógica, fazendo aproximar as suas similitudes, nomeadamente de índole autobiográfica, o que permitirá, desse modo, irmanar alguns dos elementos que constituem o cerne temático desta investigação.The purpose of this research is to analyse the novel Cartas a Sandra, written by the Portuguese author Vergílio Ferreira. Cartas a Sandra, an intimate and confessional work, associates, in a last exercise of poetic art, themes and key elements in order to construct an universal whole, promoting, in a phenomenological consistency, the junction of different compositions and the intense dialogue between them.
From a vast area of literature, we chose the epistolary novel, memoir or essay on
daily life, whose sense of contiguity is revealed at the end, not only in what concerns
Vergílio’s works but also the life of the author himself. Therefore, with the present study, we aim to highlight the novel as a privileged space, capable of performing the synthesis of Vergílio Ferreira’s thoughts beneath various forms of expression.
Assuming a hermeneutic perspective, we intend to analyse this work based on the interpretation by placing different questions surrounding the fictional construction of the text being studied.
Thus, in the first instance, and always in accordance with an attitude that we want to be rigorous, we will analyze, on the one hand, the theoretical paths of the currents of neorealism and existentialism that permeate the novel's fictional construction under study, and, on the other hand, establish the characteristics of the epistolary record, contrasting its various manifestations.
Afterwards, we’ll seek historically and culturally contextualize the work under review, opting for a comprehensive foray into the novel Cartas a Sandra. In this sense, we’ll try to understand the significance that led to the selection of the epistolary genre, a genre characterized by its reduced informativeness for the production of texts, determining its functionality, in the view of aesthetics “jaussiana” reception.
Conclusively, we will conduct a comparative study with other works of the same author, a dialogue of affinities, making approximate their similarities, particularly autobiographical, and thus fraternize some of the elements that constitute the core theme of this investigation
