Insight Into

This chapter charts the complex relationship between the changing nature of state power and management of religious activism in Tunisia. In particular, it provides insight into a unique situation in the Arab world where, for the first time, jihadist ideologies and democratic experience intermingled, arousing greater passions, hopes, and fears. For a brief moment, Tunisia became the theater to test the political and ideational impact of democratization on antisystemic groups with jihadist ideological visions. The chapter examines the novelty of this case and provides insights on the factors that affected and mediated jihadist interactions with both the Islamist Ennahda-led government and other groups with opposing moral and ideological stances. Such an analysis of intrajihadi dynamics, jihadi-regime dynamics, and intergroup dynamics with other social and political actors helps elucidate the choice of strategies that jihadists adopted and how those choices were deeply affected by their own internal contradictions and ambiguities.

In 1840, James Prescott Joule submitted to the Royal Society a paper describing experimental research on the heat produced by electric currents in metallic conductors, and inferring that the effect was proportional to the resistance of the conductors and to the square of the intensity of the current. Only an abstract of this paper was published in the Proceedings of the Royal Society , although a full paper with a similar title was printed in the Philosophical Magazine in 1841. Several authors have assumed that the content of the 1841 publication was the same as the rejected 1840 paper; however, the unpublished manuscript has been found within the archives of the Royal Society and is published here for the first time, along with a detailed analysis and comparison with the 1841 paper. The unpublished version is much shorter, and is different in certain respects from the published article. A detailed comparison throws light on several shortcomings of the unpublished version. The present work also studies the assessment of Joule's paper by the Royal Society, and elucidates the roles of Peter Roget and Samuel Christie in this connection.

This essay places Glengarry Glen Ross in the context of David Mamet’s oeuvre and the whole of American drama, as well as in the context of economic capitalism and even U.S. foreign policy. The author pays special attention here (for the first time in English-language scholarship) to the subject of salesmen or selling as depicted in Mamet’s drama and earlier in Arthur Miller’s Death of a Salesman, Eugene O’Neill’s The Iceman Cometh, and Tennessee Williams’ A Streetcar Named Desire—each of which also features a salesman among its characters.

Ez a tanulmány a biztonság és a magánélet sokrétegű, sokszempontú viszonyát elemzi, közelebbről a közöttük fennálló feltételezett alku-helyzet érvényességét és meghaladási lehetőségeit. A tanulmány két nagy egységre tagolódik és két részben jelenik meg, két együttműködő tudományos folyóirat egy időben megjelenő, tematikusan összehangolt lapszámaiban. Az első rész a Replika 103. lapszámában olvasható, a második rész pedig az Információs Társadalom jelen számában, mindkét esetben nyomtatott és elektronikus formában egyaránt. A tanulmány II. része a magánélet kontra biztonság döntési szituációkra koncentrál. Az emberi jogi bíróságok által követett módszertan és érvelés részletes elemzése alapján a szerzők az alkumodell meghaladását segítő új javaslatokat dolgoztak ki olyan esetekre, ahol a személyes magánszféra korlátozását biztonsági célok indokolják. Végül a szerzők az arányossági teszt logikáját és módszertanát a döntéstámogatás területére transzponálják, és részletes kérdéssort és szigorú eljárást dolgoztak ki olyan helyzetek kezelésére, ahol a magánéletet potenciálisan sértő megfigyelő rendszerek bevezetéséről kell döntést hozni. --- Security and Privacy: Questioning and superseding the trade-off model, Part II: Legal and decision-supporting approaches This study analyses the complex relationship between security and privacy, in particular the validity of the supposed trade-off relationship, and the possible ways to supersede a virtual zero-sum game in this area. The study is divided into two major parts, which are made available in simultaneously published issues of two separate scholarly journals featuring harmonized thematic blocks of articles. The separate, second part, is available in the present issue of Információs Társadalom [Information Society], while the first part is available in the connecting issue of Replika, in both printed and electronic formats. Part II of the study focuses on actual decisions in regard to situations where it is a matter of privacy versus security. After a detailed analysis of the methodology and reasoning of human rights courts the authors introduce new suggestions for superseding the trade-off model in situations where security-related purposes justify the limitation of privacy. Finally, the authors transpose the logic and methodology of the test of proportionality to decision support situations and offer a detailed set of questions and a strict procedure for testing the legitimacy of decisions on introducing surveillance measures that may infringe upon people’s privacy.

Written in the last decades of the sixteenth century and anonymously published for the first time in 1616, Agrippa d’Aubigné’s epic poem Les Tragiques offers an unusual literary testimony of interconfessional violence during the Wars of Religion in early modern France. Focusing on Aubigné’s aim to give a documentation of violence for generations to come, this article discusses the complex relationship between testimony and epic narration. Agrippa d’Aubignés Epos Les Tragiques, das der Autor 1616 nach jahrzehntelanger Bearbeitungszeit erstmals anonym veröffentlicht, stellt in Hinblick auf die gewaltsamen konfessionellen Auseinandersetzungen, die Frankreich in der zweiten Hälfte des 16. Jahrhunderts erschütterten, ein außergewöhnliches Beispiel literarischer Zeugenschaft dar. Mit Blick auf das unverkennbare Anliegen des Autors, die erlittene Gewalt zu bezeugen und der Nachwelt zugänglich zu machen, erörtert der vorliegende Artikel das testimoniale Potenzial epischen Erzählens.

В статье рассматривается история конфликта выдающегося пианиста Василия Львовича Сапельникова с руководством Императорского Русского музыкального общества (в лице глав Петербургской и Московской дирекций - Цезаря Антоновича Кюи и Василия Ильича Сафонова) в 1903 году. Инцидент был вызван нарушением договоренности о неучастии Сапельникова в концертах Московского филармонического общества в случае заключения контракта с ИРМО. Посредником в переговорах стало немецкое концертное агентство Вольфа, которое устраивало данный ангажемент. Подробный анализ сложившейся ситуации стал возможен благодаря привлечению новых архивных источников из фондов Российского национального музея музыки - переписки непосредственных участников инцидента, которая впервые вводится в научный оборот. Ее анализ в комплексе с сопутствующими уже опубликованными материалами не только проясняет конкретные обстоятельства дела, но и позволяет воссоздать контекст концертной жизни русских столиц начала XX века - в частности, особенности менеджмента в условиях конкуренции филармонических организаций, институциональное положение артиста, степень юридического оформления его прав и обязанностей. The article deals with the history of the conflict between the outstanding pianist Vasily L. Sapelnikov and the Directorate of the Imperial Russian Musical Society (represented by the Heads of St. Petersburg and Moscow Divisions-Cesar A. Cui and Vasily I. Safonov) in 1903. The incident was caused by Sapelnikov's breach of condition of his non-participation in concerts of Moscow Philharmonic Society in case of signing a contract with Imperial Russian Musical Society. Wolff's Concert Agency, which arranged this engagement, became the mediator in the negotiations. A detailed analysis of the case was made possible by attracting new archival sources from the collections of the Russian National Museum of Music, i. e. the correspondence of participants of the incident, which is being introduced into scientific circulation for the first time. Its study and analysis, together with the accompanying published materials, not only clarify the specific circumstances of the case, but also allow us to reconstruct the context of the concert life of Russian capitals in the early 20 century-in particular, the features of management in the conditions of competing Philharmonic organizations, the institutional position of the artist, the degree of legal registration of his rights and duties.

Hopkins goes to New York for rehearsals in Battle with Angels, a play by first-time playwright Tennessee Williams. The play, however, is a failure, and the experience erodes Hopkins’s self-confidence, professionally and personally. She is offered several films before finally accepting the lead in A Gentleman after Dark. Hopkins accepts a role opposite Bette Davis in Old Acquaintance, a part that will bring Davis no end of problems.

Final Letter

Recent scholarship on the complex relationship between Katherine Mansfield and her best-selling author cousin, Elizabeth von Arnim, has done much to shed light on the familial, personal and literary connections between these unlikely friends. Although their lives appeared to be very different (Mansfield’s largely one of penurious poor health, von Arnim’s chiefly one of robust privilege), we know that each of these women experienced the other as an influential presence. Moreover, Mansfield’s narrator in her early collection of short stories, In a German Pension (1911), bears marked resemblances with the protagonist of Elizabeth and her German Garden (1898), and von Arnim’s most radical novel, Vera (1921), was written at the height of her friendship with Mansfield. The final letter Mansfield ever wrote was to von Arnim and, following Mansfield's death in 1923, John Middleton Murry dedicated his posthumous collection of Mansfield’s poems as follows: ‘To Elizabeth of the German Garden who loved certain of these poems and their author’. This volume brings together contributions from leading scholars including Bonnie Kime Scott, Angela Smith and Andrew Thacker, including the prize-winning essay by Juliane Römhild and creative contributions from New Zealand writers Sarah Laing and Nina Powles.

ABSTRACTThis article documents discursive and social change currently taking place in contemporary Hong Kong during the transitional period leading up to the change of sovereignty from Britain to China. It does so by means of a detailed analysis of a political meeting, involving the British Hong Kong governor, Chris Patten, and members of the Hong Kong public. The meeting took place in October, 1992, a day after Patten introduced proposals to widen the democratic franchise. Patten used the meeting, the first time a Hong Kong governor had made himself openly accountable to the public at large, to demonstrate the sort of democratic discourse for which the reform proposals were designed to create a framework.The analysis focuses on two main ways Patten highlighted the democratic nature of the discourse: the use of mise en abyme, or a “play within a play” structure, and the downplaying of overt markers of hierarchy and power asymmetry. Although Patten's aim was to demonstrate openness and accountability, his ultimate control of the discourse belied the democratic agenda he ostensibly promoted. The analysis consequently also focuses on the manipulative dimension of Patten's discourse. The conclusion considers to what extent the meeting might mark a real shift to a more democratic order of public discourse in Hong Kong.
