Abstract:

A distinctive feature of the biographies of Suetonius is his methodical and detailed description of the physical appearances of the emperors. This feature was adopted by two fourth-century Latin writers, Ammianus Marcellinus and the anonymous author of the Historia Augusta. This study will explore how ancient theories of the relationship between appearance and character intersect with the physical descriptions of emperors the authors provide. These authors reveal themselves to be engaged with contemporary approaches to the question without being bound by any one theory, and thus presuppose a readership for whom physiognomic questions were both interesting and debatable. The approaches of the authors to this minor feature in their work also offer broader insight into their biographical style and purpose.

Abstract:

Biographies and Pen-Sketches are two separate branches and lots of these two are available in Urdu Literature as well as writings about these two categories but this article is an effort to find sketches of personalities related to the authors of biographies without whom the author's personality cant be revealed fully. These people may be the author's relatives, friends, peers, observers and other persons who has been with him/her at various stages of author's life. Amongst them may be their parents, children, spouse and other relatives as well as other in the same profession. A good biographer takes are of all the aspects, requirements and dimensions from start to end of an autobiography. A person is central to an autobiography can't be highlighted completely unless different aspects of his/her life are described with reference to other related people. This article focuses on the personalities around the central-to-a-biograpgy person and describes them in the light of various biographies in which he/she is talked about. To support this argument, examples are also taken from the biographies written after the selected biography so that it can be proved that biographers can also tell the importance of presented sketches of other personalities. Although these sketches are not written with any such plan, as compared to formal pen sketches, even then these can be considered important and complete to some extent and are comparable to pen sketches.

Abstract:

The article is devoted to the reconstruction of the biography of Isai Pavlovich Schmidt, a Professor of History, propagandist and the head of the flight on the route Moscow – Beijing (1925). The life and work of I. P. Schmidt (1896–1975) have already been the object of studies in modern historiography. However, the complex of new sources, which were available to the authors of the present article, made it possible to revisit some facts of the professor's biography, introducing the necessary additions and clarifications. The purpose of the study is the reconstruction of the biography of I. P. Schmidt in the context of the Soviet history with a focus on the impact of the anti-cosmopolitan campaign in the USSR on the professional career and further life of the professor. As a result of the analysis, the authors identified the main stages of the biography of I. P. Schmidt and noted the peculiar features of his worldview. The obtained results of the study led the authors to the conclusion that events of the anti-cosmopolitan campaign had resulted in the beginning of a new stage in the I. P. Schmidt’s biography – his research and pedagogical activities in Uzbekistan and Siberia. The study determines peculiarities of the activities and life of the “cosmopolitan” historian in the country’s periphery. This article is intended for teachers and university students, researchers as well as local historians.

Abstract:

The question of the use of the official labor biography in the 30—40s of the twentieth century as a means of instilling a sacred attitude to work in a Soviet person, a method of non-material stimulation of the production process is considered. The relevance of the study is due to the interest in biography in the context of the history of labor, in the authors’ appeal to the problem of forming a new attitude to work during the period of industrialization and the years of the Great Patriotic War. Attention is paid to the role of periodicals. The results of a comparative analysis of the official and real biography, recovered from the materials of the personal file, are presented. The question is raised about the tasks of the official biography of the Hero of Socialist Labor in this period. The novelty of the research is seen in the attraction of unpublished data from the production archive of the Gorky Railway, in the reconstruction of real biographical data. The authors compare the official and real biographies. The possibility of using heroic biography as a method of non-material stimulation of labor has been proved. The author’s reconstruction of the biography of Ivan Georgievich Makarov — Hero of Socialist Labor is presented. The experience of analytical research of documentary historical sources and their comparison with the narrative tradition is described.

Abstract:

The aim: Was to analyze the scientific and pedagogical heritage of N.I. Pirogov through the prism of his outstanding polymathic abilities. Materials and methods: The authors examined the scientific and pedagogical heritage of N.I. Pirogov using the method of historiographical analysis, as well as the methods of synthesis and generalization. The study relies on research publications devoted to N.I. Pirogov’s biography, as well as his epistolary and autobiographical works. Conclusions: The scientific novelty of the research is that the biography of N. Pirogov is represented with refinements and additions based on his latest work “From the Diary of an Old Doctor”. The authors analyzed the epistolary heritage of N. Pirogov, which served as a valuable biographical source. Given the anthropocentrism of the current stage of the existence of society and European civilization, the authors sought to “revive” the biography of N. Pirogov. In this regard, considerable attention is paid to his personal life. As a result, the article considers this outstanding personality in a new perspective, presenting the main stages of his scientific and medical activity.

Abstract:

Abstract Development as Rebellion, the massive biographical study of Julius K. Nyerere, written by three leading Tanzanian scholars and published in 2020 by the august Dar es Salaam imprint Mkuki na Nyota, illustrates how authors and audience are entangled in discursive practice. Jacques Derrida’s postmodern concept of iterability suggests that any message, let alone a nationalist biography, never exists in a stable univocal state, but that its meaning takes form, continually mutating, in an interactive social context between author and audience. It is not merely that the authors address an audience imprinted with the intellectual traditions known as the “Dar es Salaam School” of the University of Dar es Salaam; they engage not just the concerns of that audience, of which they are themselves members, but their priorities and categories of thought. This essay offers a review of Development as Rebellion as evidence for a theoretical argument about how an audience shapes the composition of a piece of writing, and how this helps us address the ongoing debate about the way scholarly authority in African studies tends to reside outside Africa. Addressing this circumstance must begin counterintuitively with questions about the audience of Africanist scholarship rather than its authors.

Abstract:

Accounts of Nathaniel Pigott and his son Edward were written by Agnes Clerke in 1895 for the Dictionary of national biography , and by Zdenek Kopal for the Dictionary of scientific biography . Both are incomplete and have errors of fact concerning the lives and scientific works of these men, these authors having relied largely on the published astronomical papers. When one of the present authors (A.M.) came to revise the accounts for the New dictionary of national biography , a wealth of biographical material was discovered in sources for Catholic history, and in those relating to Yorkshire and the City of York. The investigation has been shared with the other author (A.B.), who lives in Yorkshire. The personal lives of the Pigotts, and their continual movements between France, the Austrian Netherlands, Yorkshire and indeed several other regions of England, explain why their astronomical interests were so diverse, although several questions remain answered.

Full text

Abstract:

Monographs on composer may considerably diverge from one another, depending on their authors' fundamental views concerning the way and extent to which biographical data should be used in relation to music analysis. So as not to lapse into mere music Biographik, a monograph should encompass the life and works of its subject in a complementary way-with all the necessary contextualization - and bring them into a meaningful relationship in a well thought-out and critical manner. That ideal goal should be pursued, although usually the result is a more or less successful hybrid of a biography and music analysis.

Abstract:

This article works with the methodology of collective biography to explore the space-in-between normativity and difference/disability. Working with the memories of the participants, collective biography explores the processes of subjectification through which individuals are made social, and through which they are discursively and intracorporeally constituted. The authors of this article work with memories generated in a collective biography workshop in which they set out to explore the ethico-onto-epistemological nature of their own encounters with difference/disability. This methodology opens up the possibility of thinking differently about disability, and of seeing all human beings, notwithstanding the processes of categorization, as multiple and intra-active, and as always becoming in intra-action with others.

Abstract:

This article deals with a previously unknown subject of scientific intellectual biography of A.Kh. Margulan, known in the world of science as an archaeologist, creator of a scientific biography and collection of works of Ch. Valikhanov, as well as a collector and researcher of Kazakh folklore. The authors analyze the history of Alkei Margulan's participation in the discussion of the first fundamental research on the national history of the republic, “The History of the Kazakh SSR”. The article quotes excerpts from the speech of A.Kh. Margulan at the meeting of the Academic Council of the Institute of History of the USSR, in which he defended the concept of the book with arguments. The application of historical and biographical method in the study allowed to use literary and artistic methods of presentation of the material, to give the subject of intellectual biography an emotionality and to form the author's position in assessing the personality of A.H. Margulan. Alkei Margulan's research on ancient, medieval and new history of the Kazakhs allowed to present the world of the Kazakh heroic epos to the contemporaries, to ensure the continuity of the history of the Kazakhs for several millennia. The article is based on the involvement of new identified archival sources and materials of the periodical press

Abstract:

In the offered article the authors present an extensive biography of Professor Edward Ostrowski (1816–1859) for the first time. His contemporaries had already called him the founder of Polish veterinary medicine. After analyzing the available historiography they came to the conclusion that due to the lack of sources, the scientist’s biography is only a set of short articles on the pages of different dictionaries. Therefore, an extremely valuable historical source is the article by Alois Kuczynski which was published in the pages of “Tygodnik Ilustrowany” in 1860. The quotations from his work used in the research allowed to strengthen the authors’ theses substantially and create a complete image of a scientist and a teacher in whose destiny Poland and Ukraine were united.

Abstract:

A review of the book “Svyatopolk-Mirsky” (Moscow, 2021) by a well-known researcher of Russian émigré literature and culture M.V. Efimov and the oldest English expert of Russian literary studies G. Smith is presented. The authors based their research on the Russian and European tradition of biographical studies and used the methods of literary history and sociocultural theory. The book is the first full-scale reconstruction of prince D.P. Svyatopolk-Mirsky’s biography in Russia. The authors widely used archival materials, testimonies and memoirs of contemporaries, hardly accessible English and émigré periodicals, which enable them to present the main events of Mirsky’s life and work. The biographers’ interest to the inner world and psychology of the hero’s acts is combined with a subtle philological analysis of his literary studies and critical essays. At the same time, the obvious sympathy for the hero did not prevent the authors from maintaining a research objectivity, which ensured the credibility and persuasiveness of their conclusions. According to the reviewers, the book is an event in national literary studies, political and cultural history of Russia and Russian emigration.

Full text

Abstract:

The article presents the methodology of organizing educational activities to study a writer’s biography with the help of facilitation approach. A key aspect of the paper is the group work model, i.e., “The World Café” which allowed the authors to process and comprehend a large amount of information about F.M. Dostoevsky, share it with students, and plan further work on the study of his creative writing.In addition, the article identifies important concepts in the comprehension of the first part of the posthumous biography “The materials for the biography of F.M. Dostoevsky”. The compiler of the biography was O.F. Miller, a professor of literature in St. Petersburg University (Russia), critic, publicist, and a famous educator of the 19th century. Interestingly, “Materials for the biography of F.M. Dostoevsky”, published in 1883, were not fully republished and did not receive sufficient scientific understanding until 2010, even though the work of O.F. Miller remained the main source the experts studying F.M. Dostoevsky. Of much importance is the fact that some parts of “Materials for the biography of F.M. Dostoevsky” appeared on the Internet only after 2012. This paradox highlights the importance of the research describing the biography. In 2010, the personal history “Materials for the biography of F.M. Dostoevsky” became an integral part of the academic thesis by K.A. Okisheva “F.M. Dostoevsky and O.F. Miller: the history of relationships”. Our present study highlights the importance of biographies for the education of young generations. Our major concern is the methodology, according to which personal history’s information serves as an essential part of roundtable discussions which simultaneously target the acquisition of F.M. Dostoevsky’s biography and innovative classroom activities.

Full text

Abstract:

The article offers a close analysis G. K. Chesterton’s largely overlooked biographical essay G. F. Watts (1904). The authors study the genre specifics of the biography of an artist, as well as the problems of biographical theory. In G. F. Watts, which the authors define as the literary portrait of the artist, Chesterton traces his subject’s personality through his art. He views Watts’ creativity through his Victorianism. Analyzing the artist’s oeuvre Chesterton also reveals his own artistic methods, which he would later use in his novels. Being the critic’s early work, the book allows a closer view of the shaping of his philosophical ideas and artistic principles, which would take form in his later writings. The authors come to the conclusion that, for all its undeniable merits, the biography in a whole is rather subjective, and hence, its value lies in Chesterton’s general insights on fine art.

The article provides a multidimensional characterization of the genre of PR biography, which is frequent in PR discourse. The authors analyze "someone else's word" as a means of expressing an assessment in a PR biography, using such research methods as lexico-conceptual-semantic, interpretive analysis, contextual analysis, content analysis. Evaluativeness in PR discourse acts as a significant category that carries the general tone of the statement. Opinion leaders of various social status use a typical communication strategy typical of modern PR discourse, and at the same time carrying a new tactic, broadcast by one or another author / addressee. The results of the scientific research are shown on the basis of identifying the mechanisms by which direct positive assessments are included in the PR biography.

Abstract:

In this article, the three co-authors collaboratively address practices of queering in relation to the Parisian choreographer of color Nyota Inyoka (1896–1971), whose biography and identity remain mysterious even after extensive research. Writing from three different research perspectives and relating to three different aspects of her life and work, the co-authors analyze Nyota Inyoka and practices of Queering the Archive, her staging of Shiva as a performance of (culturally) “queer possibility,” and the act of remembering Nyota Inyoka in a contemporary context in terms of queering ethnicity and “cultural belonging.” Juxtaposing and interweaving notions and practices of queering and créolité/creolizing over the course of the article, the co-authors attempt to respect Nyota Inyoka's “right to opacity” (Glissant [1996] 2020, 45) and remember her on her own terms.

Abstract:

The familiar term "Alzheimer's disease" was coined by Emil Kraepelin to honour his pupil, Alois Alzheimer. However, little is known about the life of the man after whom this important and well-known disease was termed. On the centennial of the discovery of Alzheimer's disease, it is appropriate to report some aspects of the life and scientific work of Alois Alzheimer. The authors contacted all the libraries of the Universities where Alzheimer studied and/or worked to receive any original material regarding Alois Alzheimer. This review is based for a most part on an original biography written by Konrad and Urlike Maurer after the interviews to Alzheimer's nieces, Hildegard Koeppen, Ilse Lieblein, Barbel Lippert, Karin Weiβ, and his nephew, Rupert Finsterwalder. The authors obtained this biography from the Central Library of Medicine in Koeln.

Abstract:

Purpose The purpose of this study is to examine the life and work of Frank Gilbreth using a critical biographical approach to draw connections between his life experiences and the major contributions he made to management history. Design/methodology/approach The research design is critical biography. First, a biography is provided that reveals critical incidents from his childhood, his early career before marriage, his life after his marriage and his key personality traits. Gilbreth’s major contributions to management thought are then considered in context of his biography. Findings Although Frank Gilbreth is recalled for his contributions to management history through his work in advancing efficiency through motion studies, he should likewise be credited for his foresight of management theories related to the human element in organizations. The major influences on Gilbreth’s career include Lillian Gilbreth and Frederick Taylor. Research limitations/implications A limitation of critical biography is that researchers cannot address causality but, rather, are focused on drawing connections between life experiences and significant accomplishments. Originality/value Critical biography can illuminate theory and practice by providing greater clarity by examining concepts in depth and in context. The authors situate Frank Gilbreth’s work in the context of his lived experiences.

Using copious evidence from archives, the authors set out to demythologize the pervading image of a non-conformist writer. They also try to reveal on whose accusations his novel was confiscated by the authorities. The reviewer examines the arguments supplied by Bit-Yunan and Feldman, and criticizes them for their invectives against earlier biographers, in particular, Semyon Lipkin.

Abstract:

The conversation concerns the broadly-understood methodological background and substantive knowledge of the co-author of the highly praised biography of Jan Potocki, François Rosset. The researcher talks about the importance and usefulness of knowledge of the French eighteen-century novel, the Enlightenment ideas and artistic trends for the work on the biography of the author of The Manuscript found in Saragossa. Rosset also talks about archive research related to the work on this biography and about how he used his knowledge of editorial meanders of the famous novel while writing. The researcher emphasizes that the authors of biographies should keep a distance from the characters of their stories and that their main goal is to try to present the life cycle of a given person as comprehensively as possible, supporting it with sources.

Abstract:

In this essay, the four authors explore the material and affective agency of art-making in a collective biography workshop. We work with our memories of the death of someone close to us, through stories, and through making art. Collectively we explore a specific, embodied moment of the particular deaths we have each experienced. The substantive focus of our work is methodological. We concern ourselves with what is made possible through including art-making in intra-action with the more usual storytelling/listening/writing/reading/making of collective biography.

In this context, the most important of their works (books, brochures, articles), which have scientific value are described and analyzed. Although M. Cebotari`s biography is widely presented, it can be supplemented with new investigations, thanks to the immense artistic heritage of the diva.

Abstract:

The article discusses the German translation of Giuseppe Carpani’s Haydn biography of 1812. While notes on Haydn by the two German biographers Dies and Griesinger are regularly quoted and considered authentic despite the fact that their authors were good observers but not musicians, musicology pays little attention to the third contemporary Haydn biography by the musician Carpani (1752[?]–1825). He was looked upon with distrust and it reflected on him in intellectual circles that his book on Haydn was plagiarized under a pseudonym right after its publication by an author who later acquired world fame as Stendhal.

Abstract:

Biography, long shunned in the universities, has taken a dazzling revenge since the early 1980s—against the “Annates”, to be sure, but also under the influence of “new history ”. As regards the history of medicine, the situation remains ambiguous. Biography, marrying ethics and progress, has always enjoyed a special place in the hearts of traditionalists; the partisans of “problem history” consider the genre pre- or ahistoric. However, for the last twenty years several authors, fascinated by the richness of individual destinies and anxious to transcend their irreducible singularities, have opened up new paths to reconciling the individual with anthropological and social history.

Abstract:

By examining archived records, letters, memoirs and fiction, the authors set out to reconstruct the story of Babel’s life and resurrect his spiritual biography. An exemplary scholarly study, the book also conveys a strong humanistic message; the authors clearly love the object of their reflections and respond to his pain with deep compassion. Babel is shown through comparison with his contemporaries. Main characters of the story include Gorky, Voronsky, and Polonsky. The biographers portray Babel as he enters the lives of his friends and correspondents and wins their hearts. The book is dedicated to A. Pirozhkova, the writer’s widow — an astonishing woman who spared no effort in reacquainting readers with Babel. The writer’s biography will provide an enduring inspiration for scholars of Babel and literature of the 1920s — 1930s, and offer a key to understanding of the unpredictable and incredibly complicated situation of this Soviet author.

Abstract The paper explores the limiting and detrimental effects of biographical criticism and exceptionalism in the efforts of reinstating women authors into the Renaissance canon, by looking into the literary merits of Elizabeth Cary’s The Tragedy of Mariam, The Fair Queen of Jewry and The History of The Life, Reign and Death of Edward II. Whereas the conflation of biography and fiction is a successful recipe for canonization and for the production of feminist icons, it renders the text impotent because of its resulting inability to compete with or to be seen in correlation and interplay with other contemporary texts.

Full text

Abstract:

Despite the conception of the author’s death that was prevalent in the second half of the 20th century, the author’s biography always intervenes indirectly in the canonisation process, either a priori, as an additional argument for canonisation (e.g. participation in the national movement), or a posteriori, when the canonised author acquires, according to Yuri Lotman, the right to a biography. Moreover, biography becomes a significant factor in cases of revising and rewriting the canon, especially when it is related to political changes in society, e.g. in forming a Socialist Realist canon or the case of its radical deconstruction. The focus on biographical texts and authors’ biographies increases significantly in the 21st century, when literature itself tries to erase boundaries between fictional and biographical, and literary scholars discuss whether it is possible to separate the author from his or her work in the contexts of the historical memory and cancel culture. In this theoretical and historical framework, I discuss the role of the biography in the canonisation and decanonisation of a writer, and consider how these processes and the shift in the cultural paradigm influence interpretations of writers’ biographies.

Abstract:

This article looks at the possible links between auto/biography and right wing nationalism. It is based on extensive archival and oral history research carried out during the 1990s. The recent shift to the right of Austrian governmental politics is examined by looking at biographical aspects of a key player of that process, the leader of the Austrian Freedom Party Joerg Haider. His current political views should be read as being embedded within the wider historical and political biography of Austria as a nation state. A life story is constructed in exchange with ones own and other people's actions. This construct is constantly in flux. This is true for authors of academic research as much as for their objects of investigation. Consequently, the authors’ experiences as an Austrian national, both at home and abroad, form a part of this study. The paper concludes by debating how auto/biographical experiences from the past become a constituting element of a person's present and future.

The article deals with the life and work of the world-famous scientist, Doctor of medical sciences, Academician of the National Academy of Sciences of the Republic of Kazakhstan Bahia Atshabarovich Atshabarov, who left a significant mark in the history of independent Kazakhstan and made a great contribution to its development. The authors pay attention to the unknown and unstudied pages from the biography of the famous specialist in the field of medicine B.A. Atshabarov, who was one of the first in 1957–1960 to investigate the terrible consequences of the Semipalatinsk nuclear test site for the people of Kazakhstan, demonstrating his civic position and patriotism. The study of the personality of Bahia Atshabarov as an outstanding scientist, organizer, and patriot relies on the use of general scientific and special methodological principles. An objective analysis of various assessments of the consequences of nuclear tests at the Semipalatinsk test site during the Soviet period, personal documents of B.A. Atshabarov and other eyewitnesses allowed us to reveal the multifaceted personality of B.A. Atshabarov.

It also resonates to the increased concernabout representing marginalized populations in historical, sociological, andanthropological literature.

Abstract:

Highly biographical Modernist author profiles on Facebook seem to adopt or encourage a purely biographical, Genius Cult-esque understanding of the relationship between an author and that author's work. This is initially problematic, as authorial intent is a particularly complex issue of consideration for many of the authors currently haunting Facebook. This article thus establishes the paradoxical view on author-ity of three such authors -- T. S. Eliot, Marianne Moore, and James Joyce -- and examines how such Facebook profiles undermine and simplify the arguments made by these authors both through their critical and creative works. It then suggests that, by mere nature of being present on Facebook, these profiles may indeed engage in teasing out the very same paradox that these Modernists proposed in the first place, using Derrida's Hauntology to examine Facebook as a textual space both of biography and self-prosthesis. The argument ultimately seeks to propose that all Facebook users are indeed just such spectres haunting digital spaces.

Abstract:

This article discusses the biographical genre in history in the light of recent trends in gender and cultural history. It suggests that biography has the possibility of building on the strengths of these developments, but only through a resistance to the temptations of authoritative meta-narrative. Instead, it points to the creative unevenness of lives and the potential of using that ambiguity to describe in more interesting and creative ways both the lives of individual subjects and the connections between those individuals and larger collective identities. The argument reviews the work of authors such as Becky Conekin, Sheila Rowbotham and Carolyn Steedman.
