First Folio

This article examines the legacy of Ben Jonson's folio Workes of 1616, in particular the attention that has been paid to the volume's material instantiation. It discusses some of the bibliographical features that distinguish it from the better-known Shakespeare First Folio as well as some aspects of its printing history. It then looks at how changes in graduate training over the past forty years have affected scholarly approaches to editing and book history. Next, it looks at how three scholarly editions have incorporated important material and design characteristics of the Workes into their completed work: C. H. Hereford and Percy and Evelyn Simpson's Oxford Ben Jonson (1925–52), Ian Donaldson, Martin Butler, and David Bevington's Cambridge Edition of the Works of Ben Jonson (2012), and the Cambridge Edition of the Works of Ben Jonson Online (2014). Finally, it offers a few thoughts on the current limits of electronic publishing and possible future developments.

A Performance

Over the past twenty years or so, performance-based efforts to recreate the staging conditions and production modes of Elizabethan/Jacobean playhouses through “original practices” (OP) have developed at a considerable rate. One has only to note the popular appeal of theatre companies working from Early Modern architectural replicas (like London's Bankside Globe or Virginia's Blackfriars) to recognize the pervasive influence of the “reconstructive Shakespeare” movement on our understanding and interpretation of Renaissance drama. Yet, as the name would suggest, the movement is too often grounded in a performance aesthetic predicated solely on Shakespeare's playtexts (indeed, for many, the 1623 Folio is followed with a near religious fervor). But truth be told, other playwright/practitioners of the era have far more to say on the matter of staging verse drama than Shakespeare, and made a point of publishing their thoughts directly through prefatory material, commendatory verses, pamphlets, etc. Fletcher and Heywood immediately come to mind, but this paper will focus on the most prolific critic of the period, Ben Jonson. Not to be overshadowed by the numerous commemorations of Shakespeare's death, 2016 also marked the 400th anniversary of the publication of Jonson's landmark First Folio, and a brief review of his 1616 Workes should provide ample occasion to challenge several of the “original practices” championed by bardocentric theatre companies and their educational auxiliaries.

Life Threatening

Prior to the introduction of successful intravascular countertraction techniques, options for lead extraction were limited and dedicated tools were non-existent. The significant morbidity and mortality associated with these early extraction techniques limited their application to life-threatening situations such as infection and sepsis. The past 30 years have witnessed significant advances in lead extraction technology, resulting in safer and more efficacious techniques and tools. This evolution occurred out of necessity, similar to the pressure of natural selection weeding out the ineffective and highly morbid techniques while fostering the development of safe, successful and more simple methods. Future developments in lead extraction are likely to focus on new tools that will allow us to provide comprehensive device management and the design of new leads conceived to facilitate future extraction. With the development of these new methods and novel tools, the technique of lead extraction will continue to require operators that are well versed in several methods of extraction. Garnering new skills while remembering the lessons of the past will enable extraction technologies to advance without repeating previous mistakes.

Separate Discipline

Abstract In this article I demonstrate that the ideas outlined in Jerzy Topolski’s Methodology of History (Polish 1968, English translation 1976) could not only offer a reference point for and indeed enrich ongoing debates in the philosophy of history, but also help to set directions for future developments in the field. To support my argument, I focus on two themes addressed in Topolski’s work: 1) the understanding of the methodology of history as a separate discipline and its role both in defending the autonomy of history and in creating an integrated knowledge of the past, which I read here through the lens of the current merging of the humanities and natural sciences; and 2) the role of a Marxist anthropocentrism based on the notion of humans as the creators of history, which I consider here in the context of the ongoing critique of anthropocentrism. I point to the value of continuing to use concepts drawn from Marxist vocabulary, such as alienation, emancipation, exploitation and overdetermination, for interpreting the current state of the world and humanity. I stress that Marxist anthropocentrism, with its support for individual and collective agency, remains crucial to the creation of emancipatory theories and visions of the future, even if it has faced criticism for its Eurocentrism and might seem rather familiar and predictable when viewed in the context of the contemporary humanities. Nevertheless, new manifestations of Marxist theory, in the form of posthumanist Marxism and an interspecies historical materialism that transcends anthropocentrism, might play an important role in redefining the humanities and humanity, including its functions and tasks within human and multispecies communities.

The Past

Ben Jonson (1572—1637) kod nas je relativno malo poznat engleski pisac. Bio je vrlo plodan i svestran u svom umjetničkom stvaranju, ali su ipak najvrednije njegove komedije, od kojih je Volpone i kod nas prevedena i izvođena. Njegove tragedije imale su drugačiju sudbinu od njegovih komedija i bile su rijetko ili nikada izvođene. Vrlo se dugo vjerovalo da su Jonsonove tragedije plod njegove ogromne klasične naobrazbe i daleko od stvarnosti vremena u kojem je živio i djelovao taj pisac. Tek u novi je doba književni historičari i književni kritičari ukazuju na povezanost između problema koji se iznose u Jonsonovim djelima i problema engleskog društva iz vremena vladavine kraljice Elizabete i kralja Jamesa. Interesantna su zapažanja mnogih poznavalaca Jonsonova djela i njegova vremena, jer nas upozoravaju na velik interes pisaca Jonsonova doba, a osobito dramskih, da u prošlosti pronalaze događaje koji se mogu implicirati u sadašnjosti. "There was no contradiction between accurate, objective recreation of the past and the use of history as a guide for the present." Gotovo su svi oni bili vrlo vješti da uoče i primijene usporedbe između različitih historijskih situacija i da na različite načine uspiju postići da jedan zaplet ima dvostruku funkciju. Na taj su način mogli nekažnjeno prikazivati političke i religijske probleme svoga vremena. Naravno da pisci nisu smjeli izabrati onaj sadržaj koji bi u potpunosti odgovarao vremenu koje su htjeli prikazati. On je trebao biti zaodjenut raznim detaljima koji su mogli, barem prividno, prikriti glavnu intenciju piščevu. Bilo je dovoljno da su glavna radnja ili predmet drame paralelne s radnjama iz djela odakle je sadržaj uzet, dok su se druge nepodudarnosti mogle slobodno zanemariti.

Single Unit Recordings

This overview takes the reader from the classical contrast and assimilation studies of the past to today's colour research, in a broad sense, with its renewed emphasis on the phenomenological qualities of visual perception. It shows how the shift in paradigm from local to global effects in single-unit recordings prompted a reappraisal of appearance in visual experiments, not just in colour, but in the perception of motion, texture, and depth as well. Gestalt ideas placed in the context of modern concepts are shown to inspire psychophysicists, neurophysiologists, and computational vision scientists alike. Feedforward, horizontal interactions, and feedback are discussed as potential neuronal mechanisms to account for phenomena such as uniform surfaces, filling-in, and grouping arising from processes beyond the classical receptive field. A look forward towards future developments in the field of figure–ground segregation (Gestalt formation) concludes the article.
