The Life of Others (2006) has been a successful film, winning the Oscar for Best Foreign Feature in 2007. It is a film about surveillance, but also about  the lives of artists and writers in East Berlin in the middle of the 1980s, and about what role  literature and art played in the GDR and in the events of autumn 1989. The article focuses on the way the film portrays Wiesler’s transformation from hard-boiled Stasi officer into the guardian angel of his target, and shows how art – both literature and music – plays an important role in this process.

This chapter on the concept and practice of tolerance makes use of the legal case Begum together with three other cases from the same period: X v Y, Playfoot and Watkins-Singh. The chapter analyses the debates about the cases in two broadsheets: The Guardian and The Telegraph. The cases all concerned the rights of schoolgirls in state schools to wear particular kinds of religious clothing and symbols: two different versions of the hijab, a Christian purity ring, and a Sikh bangle. Examining the way tolerance and difference and identity are articulated across the debates about the four cases, I show how lines of inclusion and exclusion are articulated, existing side by side and competing within the same representational space of British multiculturalism.

This article examines one of Juana of Castile’s books of hours (London, BL Add. MS 18852) comparing it with those written for members of Juana’s family and seeking to discern how it was used, in order to reassess her peers’ evaluation of her spiritual affinities. It considers how Juana customized her book of hours with a miniature of the Virgin and Child, comparing it with a gifted panel painted by Rogier van der Weyden that Juana treasured to show how she placed herself under the protection of the Virgin. Numbered precepts would be intended for her to instruct any future children and are replicated in Isabel, her daughter’s, book. The office of the Guardian Angel is compared with similar ones in Spain and Burgundy and, like devotion to St Veronica, such prayer is another means of protection. The striking mirror of conscience with its reflected skull, like other similar objects decorated with a skull that Juana possessed, sought to lift her from the decay and sinfulness of the world to the spiritual realm.

The Way

Camino de Santiago, or the Way of St. James, is a pilgrimage route which has existed for more than 1,000 years and leads to the Shrine of St. James in Santiago de Compostela. Currently, it is the best-known pilgrimage and cultural route in Europe. It is often referred to as the “most beautiful road in the world” or the “main street in Europe”. The Way of St. James has been used in prisoner resocialization schemes for many years in Western Europe and since 2013 also in Poland. “New Way” is an innovative project consisting of a two-week pilgrimage of a prisoner who straight from the penitentiary sets out along with the guardian on the Way of St. Jakub from Lublin to Krakow. The aim of the program is to change a young person who, while walking for more than 400 km along Camino de Santiago, has a lot of time to think about his previous life. The task of the guardian is to offer assistance and individual work with the prisoner. Great importance in the project is attributed to the meetings of the prisoner with residents and pastors, who often help on the pilgrimage. An important element of the „New Way” is also to provide young person, after completing the Camino, study of professional competence, referral to an internship and then help in finding a job.

Gathering Data

Imagine an arm balance with a pan at each end. On one pan we have the enemy of the young—boredom; on the other pan, the guardian angel of the young—discovery. We want the balance to be tipped in favor of the guardian angel, but as every teacher knows, this is not an automatic result. It takes a lot of planning and hard work. To counter boredom the teacher must create a learning environment for the student that is exciting, useful for maintaining basic skills, and fun to explore. In order to excite and involve students we must present a well-balanced program that con tains some novel, challenging, and surprise-filled problems. In the process of solving the problems, the students learn the basic skills through their experiences in gathering data.

Abstract Scholars tracing the genealogy of trauma generally place its emergence in the 1870s, when the condition began to be conceptualized as mental rather than physical injury, treatable through psychological measures. This essay locates a complicating earlier engagement. Oliver Wendell Holmes’s The Guardian Angel (1867), Louisa May Alcott’s Hospital Sketches (1863), and Walt Whitman’s war entries in Specimen Days (from 1863) represent mental breakdown but propose a radically different therapy: the mind may be healed by acquiescing to the body’s physiological functions. This therapy is recommended in the course of narratives that are insistently conclusive, without the fragmentation usually assumed to distinguish representations of trauma. Thus, this essay challenges the premise that narratives of trauma formally resemble the condition’s broken mind, instead imagining how such texts may be analogized to the organic body.

The Way

This article is concerned with the way in which media routinely achieve their task of reporting on an issue that may last for several months. The present study is based on the first months of the coverage by a British newspaper, The Guardian, of an emergent crisis between Austria and the rest of the EU governments as a result of the entry of the far right into Austrian government. The analysis focuses on the way the time dimension is practically used in the media text, with a view to rendering intelligible whatever happens under the auspices of a common system of relevances and interest.
