ResumoAs pesquisas que a ciência geográfica vem desenvolvendo tem buscado inovar suas abordagens e dialogar com diferentes campos do conhecimento, entre eles o campo literário. Como resultado, tem produzido experiências que, entre outros enfoques, celebram as possibilidades de interseção entre ciência e arte. Desta maneira, a geografia tem criado possibilidades de leituras do universo vivido sob diferentes vieses, recortes, campos empíricos, metodologias e instrumentos teóricos. Assim, a compreensão do mundo a partir das tramas expostas pelos artistas (literatos) e fomentar uma leitura de mundo repleto de expressões existenciais se configura como um relevante caminho de entendimento a partir da inter-relação entre a linguagem científica e a artística. Dito isto, este artigo inicia uma discussão teórica acerca da relação entre ciência (geografia) e arte (literatura).Palavras-chave: Geografia. Ciência. Arte. Literatura. AbstractThe research that the geographical science has been developing has sought innovate its approaches and dialogue with different fields of knowledge, including the literary field. As a result, experiencesproduced, among other approaches, celebrate the possibilities of intersection between science and art. In this way, geography has created opportunities for readings the lived universe under different meanings, clippings, empirical fields, methodologies and theoretical instruments. Thus, the understanding of the world from plots exposed by artists (writers) and to foster a reading world filled with existential expressions is configured as an important path of understanding from the inter-relationship between the scientific and artistic language. This paper begins a theoretical discussion about the relation between science (geography) and art (literature).Keywords: Geography. Science. Art. Literature. RésuméLes recherches développées par la science géographique ont  innové leurs approches et le dialogue avec des différents domaines du savoir, entre eux, le champ littéraire. Comme résultat, il a produit des expériences que, entre autres approches, célèbrent les possibilités d'intersection entre la science et l’art. De cette façon, la géographie a créé des possibilités des lectures de l'univers vécu sous différents sens, découpage, champs empiriques, méthodes et outils théoriques. Ainsi, la compréhension du monde à partir des intrigues exposées par les artistes (écrivains) et de favoriser une lecture du monde plein des expressions existentielles est configuré comme un moyen important de compréhension de la relation entre la langue scientifique et artistique. Cela dit, cet article commence avec une discussion théorique sur la relation entre la science (géographie) et l'art (littérature).Mots-Clés : Géographie. Science. Art. Littérature.

<p>This paper discusses Kiki Sulistyo’s strategy for reaching position in Indonesia literary field. This research applied phenomenology and structural analysis method. Data were gathered by interview and objectification from social structure. The style of the writers’ poems and his consciousness toward Lombok were analyzed by phenomenology. The research result shows that Lombok literary field is denoted as the economy upside. Kiki Sulistyo denounces the world economy, thus moving within the production of a restricted arena. Kiki Sulistyo created literature as a movement, so he formed <em>Akar Pohon</em> community. Through this community, he generates a young poet and simultaneously undertakes a project of publishing works. Two anthologies of poetry he published brought him to the position of a legitimate poet. The legitimacy is given by poets, literary scholars, and institutions</p>

Photography, as is well known, is the image-making technology which specializes in the freezing of time.1 What kind of historiography, then, might photography be said to embody? How can photography, with its ineluctable connection to the present moment, hope to say anything at all about the past—about either the broad processes of history or even the events of the hours and minutes immediately preceding the second in which the photograph is taken? What kinds of knowledge of the past does photography allow, and what does it disallow? How can photography, that most superficial of media, hope to become a vehicle for the archaeological imagination, with its love of immanent depths? If photographic technology is uniquely equipped to record (visually) the present moment, it is also characterized—famously—by its thorough and indiscriminate recording of surface detail. What it lacks in temporal depth it makes up for in this meticulous rendering of appearances; any surface marked by the effects of action or time can be faithfully recorded by this technology which itself produces the marked surfaces of photographic plate, film, or print. History and the passing of time is available to photography only in the form of its traces, the more-or-less legible marks and remnants it has left behind at any one moment in the world. And it is precisely photography’s own nature as a chemical trace (until digitization, at least) that enables it accurately to reproduce these marks and signs of history. As discussed in Chapter 1, since the nineteenth century (at least) historical sciences such as palaeontology, geology, and archaeology have based themselves upon the reading of such signs of the past in the present, and this broad epistemological model could be extended to include military reconnaissance, forensic science, and art connoisseurship. Photography, fixing these signs in an image, has had—unsurprisingly, perhaps—an important part to play in the historical development of these disciplines. Photography meets the archaeological imagination as soon as photographic images are scanned for historical information in these disciplines and practices. In a sense, however, photography cannot help but represent the world archaeologically, since it cannot help but record its objects and landscapes in a temporal context, the traces of the past scattered across their surfaces. Ruskin enthused over this quality of the new medium.

Andrei Ivanov (b. 1971) is the most well known Estonian Russianlanguage writer who has won many literary awards in Estonia and Russia. His prose and position in the literary field of Estonia has initiated the discussion about the exact definition of Estonian literature and the status of the Estonian Russian-language literature. Due to Ivanov’s prose, the world of Estonian Russians has become more visible for the Estonian audience. He also gives a piercing look into the modern society and offers a different perspective on the world; these are some of the reasons of his popularity. The article focuses on the analysis of the reception of Ivanov’s prose published in Estonian. The vast majority of Ivanov’s prose has been translated into Estonian: Путешествие Ханумана на Лолланд, Харбинские мотыльки, Бизар, Исповедь лунатика, Горсть праха, Печатный шар Расмуса Хансена, Мой датский дядюшка and Зола. The author has entered the Estonian cultural field through translations, it may be said that he has been found in translations. Ivanov’s books are bestsellers and widely discussed in newspapers, blogs and in the literary magazines. The position of Estonian Russian literature has shifted from the periphery into the spotlight and the works by Ivanov have played a decisive role in that process. The article focuses on the analysis of the reception of Ivanov’s prose published in Estonian. The articles published in the Estonian language and concentrating on his prose (both in newspapers and in the literary magazines) are under observation. What topics have been discussed? Which aspects of Ivanov’s prose have attracted the attention of the critics?

This article concerns deaf children and young people living in South Africa who are South African Sign Language users and who participated in an interdisciplinary research project using the medium of teaching film and photography with the goal of enhancing resilience. Specifically, this paper explores three questions that emerged from the deaf young people’s experience and involvement with the project: (i) What is disclosed about deaf young people’s worldmaking through the filmic and photographic modality? (ii) What specific impacts do deaf young people’s ontologically visual habitations of the world have on the production of their film/photographic works? (iii) How does deaf young people’s visual, embodied praxis through film and photography enable resilience? The presentation of findings and related theoretical discussion is organised around three key themes: (i) ‘writing’ into reality through photographic practice, (ii) filmmaking as embodied emotional praxis and (iii) enhancing resilience through visual methodologies. The discussion is interspersed with examples of the young people’s own work.

AbstractThis article provides a theoretical discussion of the genre of commentary writing. Rather than examining the role of commentary in a specific religion, it attempts to articulate a set of useful questions to begin the process of rethinking what this genre is and, in the process, help create a theoretical vocabulary and conceptual framework for an analysis of commentary from the history of religions. The article is divided into three parts. The first broadens the traditional concept of a "canon", ostensibly the raw data upon which the commentary imposes a taxonomy. The second argues that the human condition, what Heidegger calls the way in which we are thrown into the world, demands that we interpret it. Finally, it is suggested that commentary is fundamentally about location or space, thereby providing the classificatory schema that is necessary for contextualizing both past and present. The main goal of this article is to problematize the current discussion of commentary in a theoretical way.

Abstract In Samuel Beckett: Anatomy of a Literary Revolution, Pascale Casanova explores the formal and the historical elements of Beckett’s works to establish how the bilingual writer masters the art of “abstractification” in his pioneering venture of testing the limits of language. Casanova closely investigates the cosmopolitan space of Paris in particular in order to explain the socio-political field from which Beckett’s bilingual works stemmed. As this article argues, it is this early search for a literary field with Beckett’s autonomous writing at its core that leads Casanova to her critically acclaimed and contentious notion of the world republic of letters.

Eastern Europe has been provocatively defined as ‘that part of the world where serious literature and those who produce it have traditionally been overvalued’ (Baruch Wachtel Remaining Relevant after Communism (2006)). This situation arose because of the particular modes of production and circulation of texts brought about by strict censorship and routine state interference in literary matters. This chapter illustrates how this shaped a model of the Russian writer as ‘conscience of the nation’ and opponent of tyranny. It then traces what happens to this model of authorship in the post-Soviet era in the face of different forms of censorship. Despite there no longer being official pre-publication censorship, legislation that limits freedom of expression has created the pervasive phenomenon of ‘self-censorship’ or ‘censorship readiness’ among authors and other agents in the literary field.

Recognition of anatomical variations is a real challenge for clinicians undertaking therapy regardless of the teeth that are to be treated. The extent of the curvature is one of the most important variables that could lead to instrument fracture. In clinical conditions, two curves can be present in the same root canal trajectory. This type of geometry is denoted as the “S” shape, and it is a challenging condition. This report describes a different clinical and educational scenario where four specialists around the world present different approaches for the treatment of root canals with double curvatures or S-shaped canals. Endodontic therapy is a very nuanced and challenging science and art. The clinical and teaching experience of the authors show different approaches that can be successfully employed to treat challenging teeth having roots with multiple curves. The necessity of precise knowledge of the root canal morphology and its variation is also underlined.
