Lyrical Subject

The presented considerations are an attempt to analyse such concepts as memory and dream, in which the image of the “country of childhood” plays an important role. Oskar Miłosz returns in his work, including the poem entitled In the Country of His Childhood Years (from the volume Les Sept Solitudes from 1906), to the past from where he extracts memories of Lithuania. The past is a place for him, time – marked by sensuality – is both locus amoenus and locus horridus. By “imagination creating” the poet suggests various images of symbolic character; the lyrical subject of his poems exists “among the ruins”. Like Baudelaire in the poem Swan, or Nerval – he wanders around Paris, looking for traces of his homeland in a new space. He is like Orpheus who gains wisdom and mystery in loss. The analysis of selected works by Oskar and Czesław Miłosz, the memory of their family relations, allow to understand their artistic choices and the longing for Lithuania, the “country of childhood”, which is inscribed in their works.

We lived and lived. But then, whoops!We found ourselves in other times…Timur Shaov. “Other times (listening to Galich once again)”Crises shaking our reality in the last decades happen so often that they overlap each other like roof tiles. Linear development of the second half of the twentieth century gave way to the era of cardinal changes. While building a new world, we strongly feel the need to preserve and comprehend the past. It is possible to understand the new only in comparison with the past. The disappearing world that consists of separate, isolated and selfcontained fragments is embodied in monuments of architecture. Images, techniques and practices of design and construction acquire a special meaning and new relevance in these new times. Wooden architecture of Siberia and stone merchant houses in Yalutorovsk, ancient churches and Leonidov’s avant-garde project, ruins of Stalin’s camps and the Korean Garden in Irkutsk are elements of the past that we need to understand the present. Protesting against the unification of tastes, breach of family relations and destruction of traditions, glocalization is on the rise.

The rapid rise of social media in the past decade represents a new space where animals are represented in human society, and this may influence human perceptions. In this study, 211 participants (49% female) between the ages of 18 to 44 were recruited to an online survey where they viewed mock-up pages from a social media site. All participants saw the same image of an animal, but were randomly assigned to a positive or negative narrative condition. When participants were presented with the critical narrative they perceived the animal to be more stressed (χ2=13.99, p<0.001). Participants expressed reservations in face of a narrative they disagreed with in free text comments. Overall, this study found evidence to suggest that people moderate their discussions on human-animal interactions based on the social network they are in, but these relationships are complex and require further research.

Hearts And Minds

In the Portuguese imagination Florence is justly considered the cradle of modern western civilisation. Seen and admired from the Renaissance on as the new Athens, for the Portuguese it has always represented not only a model of culture and civilisation to take as inspiration, but also and above all the locus amoenus of spiritual and intellectual harmony and balance, dreamed-of and unattainable, that floods and pervades the soul with a vague, nostalgic sentiment of admiration. Evidence of this, now as in the past, are the serried ranks of poets who for centuries have sung its praises and raised it to the rank of myth. This brief anthology proposes only a few of them, among the most renowned of recent generations. In a truly original way these poets have managed to convey to the hearts and minds of their compatriots their own stunned vision of the city, illustrating emotions that cannot fail to move even the Florentines and, in a broader sense, we Italians as a whole. Thus what is offered in these pages, in fine Italian translation, is this mesh of voices, an intimate and enthralling polyphony of city, poet and reader, unfurling in an evocative melody and proposing the legend of Florence in a new light – possibly more authentic and illuminating.

As a further tribute to feminist scholar Jessie Bernard, in this paper, we review the entire collection of the National Council on Family Relations’ Jessie Bernard Outstanding papers awarded to feminist junior scholars spanning from 1990 to 2018. In so doing, we showcase Jessie Bernard’s devotion to mentoring young scholars as we highlight evolving feminist family scholarship of student/new professionals. In this paper, we sought to:(a) honor Jessie Bernard’s intellectual legacy, (b) celebrate contributions of young feminist family scholar’s work, and (c) explore how the award collection maps on to wider feminist theoretical debates and empirical shifts within feminist family science over the past three decades.

Abstract The koseki 戸籍 (family or household registry) has long served as a material representation of the conceptual structure of Japanese family relations. Membership in a family has been stipulated and proved through registration in a koseki document defined through a shared surname and address. Evidence of family membership for purposes of legal transactions and social interactions has rested in the koseki document. However, during the past several decades some women have questioned the social pressure and legal requirement to change their names in marriage, choosing instead to maintain their surname by refusing to register their marriages to their “husbands.” Claiming themselves “married” but not legally registering their marriages, this growing group of name-change resisters defines their nonregistered marriages as jijitsukon 事実婚 (common-law or real marriage). Drawing on ethnographic research with women in jijitsukon marriages in Tokyo who refuse to share a koseki with their “husbands,” this article explores the implications of marital registration resistance in a marriage-centric society and the concurrent critique of the koseki system (the Koseki Law, koseki document, and the broader system of registration) and the legal marriage structure at the core of women's claims to be married when they do not meet Japan's legal criteria for marriage.

Abstract A study of a previously uncommented upon window reference of Vergil, Eclogues 1.55 through Aeneid 2.8-9 in Ovid, Fasti 2.635. The paper argues that the allusion to Ecl. 1.55 enriches our understanding of these lines on several levels. First, Ovid demonstrates his own appreciation of Vergilian intratextuality. Second, the allusion suggests a continuity between Tityrus’ pastoral locus amoenus, which Octavian was purported to have renewed, and the family cena that closes with a toast to Augustus as the pater of the Roman state. Lastly, the double reference to A. 2 and Ecl. 1 intertextually reinforces the calendrical turning away from the past and its dead to the living present initiated by the Caristia.

The construction of shopping centers in Jakarta has skyrocketed in the past few years. The proliferation of shopping centers mainly caused by shopping centers has been the main destination for visitors , wanting an all in one solution for entertainment. This project aims to offer a new space allowing its visitor to network, increase social interaction and strenghten the bonds between one another. Entertainment facilities can certainly be developed not only in the form of shopping centers, but into something that is packaged attractively and strengthens the relationship between visitors and visitors who live nearby. By creating an new form of entertainment facilities located in the middle of residential areas, it is expected to create the true third place in Kelapa Gading area, so that residents can come, play and use the facilities as a way to network with one another. AbstrakPembangunan pusat perbelanjaan di Jakarta meroket beberapa tahun terakhir. Menjamurnya pusat perbelanjaan ini dikarenakan pusat perbelanjaan atau shopping center menjadi tujuan utama bagi pengunjungnya yang ingin mencari entertainment atau sarana hiburan lainnya. Proyek ini bertujuan untuk menawarkan sebuah wadah dimana pengunjung dapat memperluas koneksi, meningkatkan interaksi sosial dan mempererat hubungan antara satu penduduk dengan lainnya. Fasilitas hiburan tentunya bisa dikembangkan tidak hanya berupa pusat perbelanjaan, melainkan menjadi sesuatu yang dikemas menarik dan memperkuat hubungan antar pengunjungnya dan pengunjung yang tinggal disekitarnya. Dengan membuat fasilitas hiburan yang terletak di tengah pemukiman warga, diharapkan bisa mempererat hubungan antar penduduk sehingga penduduk dengan datang, bermain dan menggunakan fasilitas sebagai salah satu cara untuk networking satu dengan yang lainnya.

The Voice

The Noble Prize winner, Czeslaw Milosz in the last years of his life wrote a religious poem „The theological treatise”. In my paperI try to understand a religious dimension of a person who is the narrator of the poem. This is the voice of an experienced person who tries to find his way between two oppositions: the so called Polish catholicism (which is stereotypised as „mass” catholicism, unreflective, superficial etc) and a religion of a modern intellectual (with his religious hesitations, opposition to the catholic „mob” etc).I try to throw some light on a narrator’s perspective going back to some Molosz’s texts from the past. I hope the paper will be interesting to the scholars and others who are trying to solve the fascinating problem of the religious dimenssion of Czeslaw Milosz’s poetry.

Este artículo propone una lectura postcolonial de los numerosos vínculos lazos que la obra del poeta canario Andrés Sánchez Robayna (1952) teje con el mundo latinoamericano y, en particular, con el pensamiento del poeta cubano José Lezama Lima (1910-1976), del mexicano Octavio Paz (1914-1998) y del brasileño Haroldo de Campos (1929-2003). Dichos lazos son interpretados como parte de un proyecto poético y político que busca simultáneamente en la realidad canaria y en su vocación atlántica, las materias y los patrones necesarios para componer una obra singular, autónoma y dialogante, capaz de apropiarse críticamente de su pasado y de generar asimismo espacios para defender el ideal de un cosmopolitismo plural y disruptivo.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          This article offers a postcolonial reading of the tight bonds that the work of the Canary poet Andrés Sánchez Robayna (1952) weaves with the Latin American culture and, in particular, with the literary thought of Cuban poet Jose Lezama Lima (1910-1976), Mexican Octavio Paz (1914-1998) and Brazilian Haroldo de Campos (1929-2003). These relations are interpreted here as part of a poetic and political project, seeking simultaneously in the Canarian reality and in its Atlantic counterpart, the examples and the necessary patterns to compose a singular, autonomous and dialogical work, capable of critically appropriating the past and of generating also a new space to defend the ideal of a plural and disrupting cosmopolitanism.  

Writing against Mourning: Memory in Assia Djebar’s Franco-graphie

In this article, I provide a new reading of Djebar’s Le Blanc de l’Algérie as being antimourning. I argue that in the face of institutionalized amnesia and excessive commemoration, Djebar’s refusal to mourn her dead friends institutes a politics of antimourning that seeks to reckon with the larger memory and history of silenced political murders in Algeria. Rejection of mourning enables remembering and empowers feminist engagements with the past. Rather than being another al-Khansā’—the Arab dirge poet who composed elegies for her slain brother, Ṣakhr—Djebar sees herself in Polybe’s footsteps. In offering this new argument, I aim to steer scholarly conversations to antimourning as a condition for healing in postcolonial contexts. Conscious of the centrality of language in Djebar’s writings and in her larger Maghrebi context, I have developed the undertheorized concept of Franco-graphie, which I propose opens up a new space to conceptualize violence and amnesia in writings that emerge from postcolonial, multilingual contexts, and their contested legacies.
