Abstract:

LESS THAN TWO YEARS AGO, THE READERS OFGovernment and Oppositionhad reasons to be moderately optimistic concerning the future of our country. If their judgment was based on George Feaver's ‘Letter from Canada’, it appeared prudent to conclude that it was no small achievement for Canada to have persisted as a state in the face of tremendous adversity. These readers may have also trusted some distinguished experts on Canadian history and politics. Donald Smiley recently wrote that he had ’very much over-estimated the strength of Québec nationalism and provincialist influences elsewhere in the country and very much under-estimated the capacity of the system to respond effectively to such divisive pressures’. Smiley's judgment was supported by Kenneth McRoberts: ‘Canada's most serious political crisis, which originated in the political modernization of the Quiet Revolution and saw the election of a Québec government formally committed to Québec sovereignty, appears to have run its course.’

Abstract:

Objectives: Hemodialysis is the most used renal replacement modality for end-stage renal disease patients. Dialysis patients are usually assessed for quality of life (QoL) but smiling was never studied. Duchenne smile is a genuine expression of joy, associated with better survival in some groups of the general population. In this study, we aimed to evaluate whether the smile of dialysis patients can predict their QoL and mortality. Methods: All hemodialysis patients in Saint-George Hospital were included in this prospective study. Patients were interviewed using the Health-Related QoL questionnaire and followed for 10 days for smile screening. Those who smiled more than 34% of time were considered as smiling, then followed for death over 2 years. Results: Overall, 71 patients were studied. Duchenne smile was associated with death at 1 and 2 years (HR = 0.194 [95% CI 0.039-0.958], p = .044) but not with sex or diabetes. Smiling showed a statistically significant correlation with older age, fewer hospitalizations, vitality, physical component score, several QoL scores and general health. Conclusions: A simple observation of patients' Duchenne smile by nephrologists in hemodialysis units can give an idea about their QoL and 2-year survival.

Abstract:

The article is devoted to the analysis of images of the main characters of the spy in S. Postolovskyi’s novel «The Enemy, or the Wrath of God». It is emphasised on author’s traditional representations of the typical image of spy showed in the images of James Bond (by I. Fleming), George Smiley (by J. Le Carre) and Stierlitz (by Yu. Semenov). The author updates these images according to the realities of the present. It is determined that the participants of the operation «The God’s Wrath», depicted in the S. Postolovskyi’s novel, are very colorful figures, people that are ready to fight, but this desire to take revenge on the enemies of their country is based for each of them on personal reasons: the desire to get a higher post, to find out the truth about the work of the spy-saboteur and to determine their own place in the battle for their country, establish justice, and so on. The writer successfully combines the contradictory features of heroes and criminals in their characters, emphasizing their ambiguity, which makes them believable, living people, and not ideologically well-established figures. It was found out that the most ideologized image in the work is the figure of Captain Ivan Principle, the favorite S. Postolovskyi’s hero, who has already met in the previous writer’s works. The surname of this character is fully matched with his inner qualities: he is honest, fair, takes the attention of women, and in his actions he is always guided by the law and believes that the means do not always justify the goal. The author tried to bring out a new image of a spy, a modern hero who could become a sample for the young generation. It was also revealed that in the images of other ministers of the Office, who participated in the organization of Operation «The God’s Wrath», – General Bulldog, Colonel Myron and Captain Nechypailo – the writer depicted the typical representatives of his time, capable of high aspirations and courageous deeds, but at the same time they are typical executors of any order, often criminal, when it coincides with their notions of justice and duty. Thus, S. Postolovskyi presented his own vision of Ukraine’s fate in the «hybrid war» with Russia and those people whom the result of this war directly depends on. Since he can’t foresee the future, the author leaves his protagonists a tragic fate, just like life itself.

Abstract: The article deals with marital agreements that had a bearing on Bulgarian-Serbian foreign policy relations between the 1280s and the beginning of the 1320s. There are five such agreements. Three are connected with the Bulgarian capital of Turnovo: the marriage of Milutin and Anna, the daughter of Tsar Georgi I Terter; the marriage of Theodora, the daughter of King Smilets (1292–1298) and Stefan, future King Stefan Dečanski, the son of Milutin; and the marriage project between the widow of Smilets and Milutin himself. The other two are the result of Serbia’s relations with the north-western Bulgarian city of Vidin: the marriage of Shishman with the daughter of Dragoš, the grand župan of Milutin and the marriage of Mihail Shishman with Anna/Neda, Milutin’s daughter. Keywords: Milutin, Georgi I Terter, Stefan Dečanski, Mihail Shishman, Anna/Neda, diplomatic marriages.

Abstract:

Purpose George Mortimer Pullman (1831-1897), nineteenth century US luxury rail car entrepreneur, divides opinion. Some commemorate Pullman as a brilliant industrialist, innovator and self-made man. Others view him as a loathsome robber baron, union buster, racist and affront to democracy. This paper aims to demonstrate Pullman’s significant contribution to marketing. Design/methodology/approach Historical accounts of Pullman are re-examined to highlight his company’s unique adaptation of numerous marketing techniques (consumer research, brand strategy, public relations, product launch, fashion cycle, advertising, product placement and customer service marketing). Findings Pullman’s distinct flair for understanding his market enabled him to develop marketing strategies intertwined with broader cultural changes in ideals and practices. Pullman’s construction of destination tourism met an expanding white middle class desire for recreation and escape from the economic and racial inequality of the city. Pullman’s creed that beauty acted as a civilizing agent spoke to the social norms of leisure class femininity. Constant release of ever-grander rail cars shaped a fashion cycle around which wealthy men’s status competition turned. Pullman pioneered the leasing of luxury to control his best asset: the service of black Porters’. Originality/value First, this paper provides a new perspective on George Pullman, a significant figure in US history. Second, it addresses a common bias in nineteenth century historical accounts that privilege the contribution of men, industrial labor and production and shadow the role of consumption, women and leisure. Third, it challenges the idea of a clean divide between industrial and post-industrial economies by tracing contemporary consumer culture practices to their nineteenth century roots (marketing, destination tourism, brand stories, democratization of fashion, tipping and service with a smile).

Abstract:

This chapter examines the 1979 BBC 2 serialised adaptation of John Le Carré’s Tinker Tailor Solider Spy, positioning this as the first instance of the BBC seizing the initiative over ITV in the spy genre. It explores how this was produced within the BBC classic serial tradition, most traditionally reserved for adapting canonical 19th century novels, whilst the casting of acclaimed actor Alec Guinness in central role of George Smiley imparted further prestige from film and theatre. It argues that the serial achieved its popular impact through embracing the complex narrative pleasures of the long-form serial, whilst countering this with the simple through line of a whodunit (or mole-hunt) storyline, offering multiple possibilities for audience engagement. Finally, it argues that through extensive location filming the serial was able it to effectively visualise some of the elegiac themes of the novel through landscape and architecture.

Abstract:

The second part of the book turns to a discussion of extralegality and espionage, beginning with a reading of three novels by John le Carré set against the background of historical events – the construction of the Berlin Wall, the exposure of the Cambridge spy ring, and the practice of extraordinary rendition during the War on Terror. In The Spy Who Came in from the Cold, Alec Leamas is disgraced, abandoned, imprisoned, exiled, and finally betrayed, an abjected figure akin to Agamben’s homo sacer, a figure as excluded as any outlaw. In Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy, George Smiley is a liminal figure, an unconstitutional detective investigating a case of treason within what is, in this period, an intelligence agency unrecognised by law. This chapter concludes with a discussion of extraordinary rendition as outlawry in contemporary form via a reading of le Carré’s 2008 novel A Most Wanted Man. Here we can see the state acting outside of legal constraints via its intelligence agencies, while also seeking to situate particular individuals outside the reach of the law. Together, these forms of exclusion from law constitute new and troubling forms of outlawry that are alive and well in the twenty-first century West.
