Dividing Line

This chapter introduces the reader to Sebald’s poem, Vertigo. Another fragmented epic, it opens with a short biography of Stendhal (the French writer Marie Henri Beyle) which Schütte relates to Sebald’s preoccupation with memory. The second part is an unnamed narrator’s travelogue of two Alpine journeys, whilst the third is a semi-fictional reconstruction of Franz Kafka’s stay in an Italian sanatorium. The fourth is a recounting of a homecoming, mirroring Sebald’s own return to Germany and the repressed fears of his childhood. Schütte presents Vertigo as an example of Sebald’s ability to blur the dividing line between the authentic and the fake, manipulating sensations of memory and dizziness as suggested in the poem’s title.

Azouz Begag

The French writer of Algerian origin, Azouz Begag, has long been interested in the reception in France of those with immigrant origins. Their treatment often continues to be that reserved for the ‘visitor’, even several generations down the line. Yet these ‘outsiders’, who are not expected to ‘stay’, no longer identify with the country of their ancestors. Their life journeys become characterised by often delicate negotiations in order to be accepted. In the light of this situation, we examine three of Begag’s autofictional works. The first of these is Le Gone du Chaâba (1986), the text for which he gained celebrity. It explores the world of a young Algerian boy in France in the 1960s confronted with a Francocentric school system largely dismissive of the immigrant child. The second text, Le Marteau pique-cœur (2004) reveals an adult destabilised by the collapse of his marriage and the loss of his father, while the third, Salam Ouessant (2012), shows him on holiday with his two daughters and struggling with single status. All three texts share common concerns about reference points in life and all three are linked by numerous ‘crossings’ featuring various kinds of movement – physical, cultural, linguistic and transitional.

With Memory

Given the turbulent nature of recent German history, studies of postwar German memory understandably have focused upon the issue of Vergangenheitsbewältigung—the difficult process of “coming to terms” with the historical experience of the Third Reich and the Second World War. This topic's magnitude has rightly inspired considerable scholarly attention but, at the same time, it has also had the unintended effect of overshadowing other German struggles with memory. In recent years, however, this state of affairs has begun to change. As the epochal events of 1989–90 have forced Germans to confront still another burdensome historical legacy—that of communism—the increasing calls for a “second” Vergangenheitsbewältigung have, for better or worse, broken the monopolistic hold of the Third Reich on the nation's historical consciousness. course of this new Vergangenheitsbewältigung by comparing it to the experience of coming to terms with the legacy of Nazism.

Short Biography

More than 30 years have passed since the death of Dr. Mikhail Vladimirovich Kozlyaninov, and fewer and fewer people remain who communicated and worked with him. However, the memory of M.V. Kozlyaninov should not disappear with them. First, because the enormous contribution that he made to the formation and development of ocean optics should not be forgotten. Kozlyaninov - the “founding father” of this science at the Shirshov Institute of Oceanology; under his leadership, the world’s first complex of optical equipment for work in sea expeditions was created; a method for conducting hydro-optical studies in natural conditions was developed, with his direct participation, studies were carried out, many of which were of pioneering nature and made it possible to obtain new essential results. The presented article consists of three sections: a short biography; the main achievements of M.V. Kozlyaninov, their scientific and practical significance; the author’s memoirs about more than 20 years of work and communication with Dr. Kozlyaninov. The author tried to be as accurate as possible in the first two sections; the third section was written precisely from the memories of how the author remembered this bright, extraordinary person.

Abstract Objectives: Educational programs on dementia may backfire, as recipients could feel more negatively about people with dementia after exposure to the alarming symptoms (e.g., behavioral and psychological symptoms of dementia, or BPSD). This study aimed to investigate whether such exposures had any effect on stigma. Methods: 200 adults aged 18-83 years were randomly assigned to three groups. The first group read vignettes describing fictitious older adults with memory impairment. The second group read the same vignettes that were expanded to include descriptions of BPSD (i.e., memory impairment cum BPSD). After reading the vignettes, both groups answered questions about stigma, while the third group directly responded to this questionnaire without reading any vignette (i.e., not exposed to experimental manipulation). ANOVA was performed to analyze the effect of experimental manipulation, as well as that of age, education, whether having relatives with dementia, and belief about treatability of dementia. Results: At posttest, the level of stigma was moderate and was comparable across the three groups, suggesting that exposures to information about cognitive and behavioral symptoms did not change people’s stigmatizing attitude. The absence of group effect in stigma did not vary by age, education, whether having a relative with dementia, or belief about prognosis. Only the main effects of age and education were significant, where younger and least educated participants reported higher stigma. Conclusion: There was no evidence that stigma would be affected by exposure to information about symptoms of dementia, including the more disturbed ones (i.e., BPSD).

Charles Maurras

The subject of the article is the philosophical and political concept of Maurice Barrès (1862–1923), French writer and thinker, the most important next to Charles Maurras, a national-conservative thinker in the Third French Republic. The author argues that the topicality of Barrès’ concept lies in revealing the threat arising from the desire to fully reflect reality in political ideologies. The hermeneutic exegesis of Barrès’s concept avoids its superficial reading as chauvinistic or internally incoherent. The author situates it as an ideological and historical context as a polemic with official ideology of the Third Republic, that is, Charles Renouvier’s neocantism. Its links with the concepts of Ernest Renan and Hyppolite Taine, writers combining individualism and agnosticism with conservatism, are revealed. The author points out that Barrès’ opposition to the ideologization of collective life resulted from his concept of man. In the course of its evolution — the transition from ‘The Cult of Self’ to conservatism, its individualistic aspect has been preserved. This justified both the valorisation of the nation as one of the sources of the self’s identity and the rejection of chauvinistic approaches to nationalism, not taking into account other factors forming the human identity, i.e. the region and the universal community. It also justified the rejection of ideological apriorism in politics and political projects.

Interpolatory Polynomial

The problem is to extend the method proposed by Soleymani et al. (2012) to a method with memory. Following this aim, a free parameter is calculated using Newton’s interpolatory polynomial of the third degree. So the R-order of convergence is increased from 4 to 6 without any new function evaluations. Numerically the extended method is examined along with comparison to some existing methods with the similar properties.

How do individual and social memories get re-worked in the crucible of a teacher education program, as student-teachers prepare to teach history to the next generation in a democratic, multicultural, and multinational state? This study posits four key competencies that student-teachers need in order to transcend history as the simple transmission of social memory. It takes the form of intertwined autobiographical narratives of the three authors: two were student-teachers and the third, their instructor. It recounts their experience with memory and history prior to the teacher education program and then follows them through the program and into the schools. While it demonstrates their work with critical historical competencies, it also acknowledges a necessary persistence of issues of memory.

This chapter considers a short cycle by Tobias Picker. Each of the four songs are quite varied, ensuring that the singer will need to have a broad range and much agility as well as stamina. These poems are a very far cry from the usual ‘pastoral’, idealized images of nature most commonly found, especially in English music of an earlier period. Picker’s settings expand, enrich, and embellish the verses with substantial piano solos and motivic repetitions. The first two songs reflect on alienation and the failure to communicate. In the third movement, insects are viewed from a novel perspective, with something like rueful affection, as guardians of ecological stability. The last piece is concerned with memory and the passage of time. Indeed, all the poems seem tinged with frustration and regret, at dreams left unfulfilled and opportunities missed.
