Mientras que por un lado, el emprendimiento social como un nuevo movimiento, es impulsada por los individuos para hacer del mundo un lugar mejor, por otro lado, las pequeñas islas, con predominio de las micro y pequeñas empresas (MYPE) parecen haber pasado por alto las nuevas iniciativas de concepto en la gestión del turismo. El trabajo de Séraphin (2012) hizo sobresalir dos importantes planes de emprendimiento social en Haití, pero olvidó aclararnos sobre la importancia y las implicaciones para el turismo insular. Del mismo modo, en la Isla Mauricio, el Ministerio de Turismo y Ocio participa en varias iniciativas de gestión turística alineados con la visión gubernamental llamada 'Maurice Ile Durable "(MID), pero, el emprendimiento social no es considerado en el plan de turismo. Comenzando con una breve reseña de Mauricio y Haití como destino turístico, este trabajo examina dos pequeñas islas que dependen fuertemente del turismo. De naturaleza exploratoria, este artículo hace ver algunas observaciones muy significativas sobre las industrias del turismo de Haití y de Mauricio. A partir de eso, se desarrollaran nuevas perspectivas sobre el papel del emprendimiento social en el turismo insular y servirá como una herramienta por la gestión turística de las islas.

La littérature contemporaine de l’océan Indien, et de l’île Maurice en particulier, livre des portraits marquants de femmes violentes et/ou criminelles. Cette violence est d’autant plus saisissante qu’elle émane d’espaces post-esclavagistes et postcoloniaux dans lesquels les femmes ont été victimisées et leurs corps réifiés. Peut-elle être lue comme une reprise de pouvoir paradoxale qui déferait les assignations de genres et troublerait l’ordre des dominations ? Considérer la violence ou le crime commis par des femmes comme simplement réactionnels risquerait toutefois d’aboutir à une dépolitisation de leur acte. La littérature contemporaine, en insistant sur une intersectionnalité des rapports de classes, de couleurs, d’âges, met en exergue la colère qui gronde chez ces femmes. Le crime peut-il être l’une de ces « tactiques » qui consistent à trouver une place pour soi dans un lieu imposé et configuré par l’autre, voire comme une stratégie politique qui aiderait à la constitution d’un nouveau langage pour dire les mondes postcoloniaux ? Nous nous posons ces questions à propos de deux romans mauriciens, Le Journal d’une vieille folle d’Umar Timol et Blue Bay Palace de Nathacha Appanah.

Bu çalışmanın amacı Fransız düşünür Maurice Merleau-Ponty’nin fenomenolojik yaklaşımını bir bedenlenme teorisi olarak ele almak ve düşünürün kavramsal çerçevesini bedenlenmiş özne ya da bedenlenmiş bilinç kavramı bağlamında sunmaktır. Merleau-Ponty’nin felsefesi öznenin dünya ile ilişkisini algı fenomenolojisi temelinde sunan ve bu noktada algının öznenin bedenselliğinden bağımsız değerlendirilemeyeceğini, algının öznenin bu dünyada bedenli bulunuşuna ait olduğunu söyler. Bu bağlamda düşünür algı zemininde bir beden fenomenolojisi sunar. Merleau-Ponty’nin kendisinin de sıklıkla dile getirdiği gibi, düşünürün bu yaklaşımı geleneksel felsefenin epistemolojik ve ontolojik ayrımlarına, özne ve düşünme süreçlerine dair tanımlamalarına bir karşı çıkıştır. Bununla birlikte, çağdaş ontolojik tartışmalarda, düşünürün felsefesi ve sözü edilen bağlamda sunduğu bedenlenme kavramsallaştırması felsefenin farklı alanlarında ilgi görmekte ve bu tartışmalardaki bedenlenme teorileri arasında yer almaktadır. Bu bağlamda, bu çalışmanın amacı, Merleau-Ponty’nin bedenlenme fenomenolojisini bilinç-beden bütünlüğü kavramı çerçevesinde ele almak ve düşünürün felsefesini geleneksel düalizmlere ve bu düalizmlerin çağdaş felsefedeki yansımalarına bir karşı çıkış olarak değerlendirmektir.

Full textAbstract:
This paper reviews the current challenges facing Mauritius in terms of meeting peak electricity demand. As a fast-developing island-economy with a very high population density, this is a crucial issue. The more so that it imports 80% of its energy requirements in terms of fossil fuels, relies significantly on tourism and needs to protect its fragile ecosystems. The nature of the peak electricity demand and its evolution is firstly analysed. Reference is made to past scenarios for electricity supply, the obstacles to their implementation and their relevance in terms of sustainability. The forecasts underpinning the latter scenarios are found to be over-estimated. Demand-Side Management projects are discussed and their potential to promote an alternative scenario based on revised forecasts are discussed. Hence a new Maurice Ile Durable (Mauritius Sustainable Island, MID) scenario is proposed in view of stabilising the peak demand, reducing the rate of increase of total electricity demand and making the capacity margin positive. The newly-devised scenario is not only more sustainable but also addresses several political and socio-economic issues to bring holistic win-win solutions. Institutional and regulatory reforms as well as a relevant Business Framework are also important in order to meet the challenges of MID. The new scenario relies only on existing technology with an excellent track-record and provides the transition to a more sustainable future.

Full textAbstract:
"Based on scattered finds, besides the well‑known Ist (1889) and IInd (1968/1969) “princely” graves in Apahida (Romania, Cluj County), dated to the Gepidic age (5–6 centuries AD) (Pl. I), there must have been a IIIrd princely grave there. Apart from these scattered finds, a sealring with a monogram (symbolum), found in Apahida – and kept in the Hungarian National Museum – (Pl. II/1–3) refers to the same. The retrograde monogram on the ring indicates that the sealring was not only a personal jewel, but also a functional tool used for authentication. Although the ring’s precise site in Apahida is unclear, it is still interpreted in connection to the Ist grave of Onachar, as a similar reading of the monogram is suggested to the one [Ona(c)har|us, cf. Szabó 2020a‑b] that stands on the namering. As the letter O of the namering does not appear in the monogram, and the letter M of the monogram does not appear on the namering, the presumption of identical names in case of the two rings can undoubtedly be turned down. Based on its shape, the monogram is a block or box monogram, which can be dated to the period between the 5th and 7th century AD (Pl. III/1). According to the characteristics of the monogram type, it shows every letter of the word and each letter appears only once. Monograms from this period usually contain either personal names or office names, with genitive ending. Due to these reasons as well, the former readings: Marc(us) [J. Hampel], Audomariuς [I. Bóna], Marιaς [J. Spier], Omacar(?) [C. H. Opreanu] are not adequate. Former literature suggested and used Latin and Greek as reading languages for the monogram. A Greek reading must be considered because there might be a Σ i.e. C (i.e. sigma lunata) letter, on the right side of the imprinted monogram (Pl. III/2). Based on the structure of the monogram and the reading rules of the monogram type, furthermore with regards to all the solutions provided by the identifiable letters conjoined in alphabetical order, the monogram gives the Latin MAVRICI (nom. Mauricius or Mauricus as well) reading (Pl. III/3, 5). A not likely, speculative Greek MAΥPIΣI (nom. Mαυρις) solution (Pl. III/4) could be considered at most a Graecism because of the Latin ‑i instead of a Greek ‑ou for the genitive ending. The “Germanized” nominative version of the name without the Latin ending is MAVRIC (Mauric). Until now, the name was unknown in Germanic milieu. The ‑ric (‑rik, ‑rich) ending might have contributed to the use of the name in Germanic milieu. The sealring was made in a Christian milieu, and its owner was probably a Christian, which is indicated by the long- or Latin cross (crux immissa) on the ring head over the monogram (Pl. III/1). Based on the cross and in the context of the Age (5th-6th centuries AD), it is uncertain whether thering‑owner belonged to the Roman, Byzantine or Arian church. I have found no long- or Latin cross paired with a Greek monogram, consequently the ring and its owner must be of Western origin. His name may be related to the soldier martyr Mauricius from Agaunum (Saint‑Maurice, Valais canton, Switzerland) and the spreading popularity of his cult among Christians. The name refers to the centre and point of origin of the St. Mauricius (Saint Maurice) cult, the territory of the Burgundian Kingdom, conquered by the Francs in the first quarter of the 6th century AD. Compared to the western Germanic type of the finds, namely the artefacts from the Ist‑IInd‑IIIrd(?) “princely” graves from Apahida [cf. Gáll et alii 2017, 26–28, nos. 9–10, 11–13], it can be assumed, that Mauric from Apahida – who can be examined in the same context –, was a western Germanic regulus who fled either from internal political conflict or from the Franc conquest. Similarly to the regulus “Onachar from Apahida” [Ona(c)har|us ≈ Aunacharius, cf. Szabó 2020a‑b], who – based on his name and personal artefacts – had also western Germanic connections, Mauric i.e. Mauricius or Mauricus also settled in the confine of the Gepidic world. He might not only have had a role in the appearance of the eastern Merovingian culture in Transylvania [cf. Dobos 2019], but also in the rise of the settlement in Apahida or its vicinity as a regional political‑administrative centre. The damages on the surface of the sealring with monogram indicate its presumably longer usage in a kind of “chancellery” practice."

Straipsnis analizuoja Edmundo Husserlio, Jeano-Paulo Sartre’o ir Maurise Merleau-Ponty požiūrį į kūno vaidmenį intersubjektyviuose santykiuose. Jeanas-Paulas Sartre’as atmeta dvigubų jutimų sampratą. Jis neigia galimybę patirti kūną kaip subjektą ir objektą vienu metu. Sartre’as akcentuoja, kad kitas vizualiai pažįstamas tik jį paverčiant objektu. Edmundas Husserlis ir Maurise Merleau-Ponty ieško sąryšio su kitu kūniškumo plotmėje. Atrasdami prisilietimo grįžtamąjį ryšį su savimi, o vėliau išplėtodami šią kvazirefleksijos sampratą ir kitų juslių lygmeniu, Husserlis ir Merleau-Ponty sugriauna tradicinę sąmonės ir savasties sampratą. Sąmonė nebegali būti suprantama kaip vidujybė, o kūnas kaip išorybė. Pats kūnas atrandamas kaip susidvejinęs – patiriantis kitą ir save tuo pat metu. Suskyla ir savasties substanciškumas. Savastis visada pasirodo kitame, kitam ir per kitą. Kartu pasikeičia ir santykio su kitu traktuotė. Kitas nėra kažkoks transcendentiškas objektas, kurį reikia pažinti ar užvaldyti. Santykis su kitu atsiskleidžia kartu kaip santykis su savimi ir santykis su pasauliu. Jei mano kūnas nėra vien mano kūnas, bet jis yra tarp manęs ir kitų, tai tada galime suvokti, kodėl aš negaliu savęs sutapatinti su vieta, kurioje esu. Ir mano vieta, kaip ir mano kūnas, yra mano tiktai kitų atžvilgiu. Mano savastį iš esmės apibrėžia šis tarpkūniškumas, kurio patirtis sudaro sąlygas ne tik įsisąmoninti savąjį socialumą, bet ir suvokti savosios būties tarp – pasauliškumą. Pagrindiniai žodžiai: fenomenologija, intersubjektyvumas, kitas, gyvenamas kūnas, tarpkūniškumas, savipatirtis. Phenomenology of Intersubjective Body: the Experience of TouchDalius Jonku Summary The article deals with the conception of intersubjective body in Edmund Husserl’s, Jean-Paul Sartre’s and Maurice Merleau-Ponty philosophy. Jean-Paul Sartre rejects the conception of double sense, i.e. he denies the possibility to have bodily experience as a subject and an object at the same time. He argues that we can know Other visually only as an object. Husserl and Merleau-Ponty are in search of connection with the Other on a new plane. They investigate the preconditions of the openness to the Other. Their attention is focused on the bodily self-awareness in the experience of touch. Both philosophers develop the conception of bodily quasi-reflection. They transform the traditional conception of selfhood and show its paradoxical alienation from itself. The one’s own body is revealed as insisting on the otherness. The analysis of double senses in the experience of the sense of touch reveals the experience of “my” body as an inter-corporality. That’s because both philosophers can reject the prejudice of immanence and transcendence. The experience of a living body is always a relation with “myself”, with the other and with the world.

RESUMEN Aunque el concepto de “distancia infinita” (DI) aparece como tal sólo en la obra de Maurice Blanchot, sostenemos que es legítimo imputárselo a Walter Benjamin para dar cuenta de un mismo problema. En el presente artículo, sostenemos (1) que el concepto de DI se elabora sobre la base de una revisión, una resignificación y una radicalización del concepto moderno de “distanciamiento estético”, y que (2) esta modificación se realiza fundamentalmente a partir de las interpretaciones que tanto Benjamin como Blanchot hacen primero del temprano romanticismo alemán, y más tarde de la obra de Franz Kafka. Esa modificación, sostenemos, por último, (3) contiene un desplazamiento en el fundamento del concepto: el concepto de DI ya no tiene por base el ámbito de las facultades subjetivas (i.e. el ‘juicio de gusto’), sino el ámbito del arte y del lenguaje. Mostramos así (4) que el concepto de DI supone la existencia de un ‘impulso fragmentario’ al interior de las obras literarias, que se manifesta como “experiencia-límite” para la subjetividad.

Full textAbstract:
In her article the author focuses on Merleau-Ponty’s interpretation of visual perception that arises from his original concept of the body which extends beyond the empiricist and intellectualist explanations of the body that rest upon Cartesian dualism. Instead, Merleau-Ponty discusses the live, active and cognizant body. He presents visual perception as a complex phenomenon which is neither completely objective nor completely subjective, but instead rooted deeply in the body schema which is of key importance for the understanding of space, depth and movement, i.e. phenomena that remain relevant today and due to which remains relevant also Merleau-Ponty’s phenomenological existential approach that underlines the significance of pre-reflexive experience.

Full textAbstract:
The article considers about the general tendencies of Christian and Catholic art renewal in Great Britain. This movement is the part of the wider one i.e. Christian art renewal, which is the important phenomenon in all western literatures and cultures (Francois Mauriac, Georges Bernanos, Julien Green, Paul Claudel, Charles Péguy, Gertrud von Le Fort, Heinrich Boll, Sigrid Undset, Graciya Deledda, Ramiro de Maeztu, Hose Bergamin, Miguel Unamuno, Maurice Denis, Paul Gauguin, Georges Rouault, Francis Jean Marcel Poulenc, Arthur Honegger, Olivier Messiaen, etc.) English Christian and Catholic Renewal were caused by the deep crisis, which found its place after the period of positivism. In British literature the phenomenon of Christian renewal manifested itself in the creative work of Evelyn Arthur St. John Waugh, Muriel Spark, Gilbert Keith Chesterton, Graham Green, Clive Staples Lewis and others. Tendencies of Christian renewal also appeared in the other kinds of art. In the painting of Great Britain of the period these tendencies display themselves in the intention of the painters to find the sense of the life, which in the same time also include the interest in Christianity. It made itself apparent in new approaches to sacred matters, which include Bible themes as well as Church tradition. In the fine art of Great Britain Christian renewal echoed in the works of Pre-Raphaelites (William Holman Hunt, John Everett Millais, Dante Gabriel Rosetti, Madox Brown, Edward Berne-Jones, William Morris, Arthur Hughes, Walter Crane, and John William Waterhouse. Strong will to return to the cultural and religious roots of Europe is the core of this art movement of Christian and Catholic renewal in Britain. Revision of “Good News Bible” message actuality for their contemporaries, which is manifested in the sense of the works, images and structural elements, is the important task and inspiration for painters and writers of this style.

AbstractThis essay assesses Maurice Casey's critique of work on Mk 14.61-62 found in my Blasphemy and Exaltation in Judaism. The article examines again and brings more detailed argument for the authenticity of these verses as well as questioning elements of his critique. The Jewish background fits the trial setting in a way that is unlikely to reflect an early church creation for a Gentile audience (i.e. Mark did not create this material). The essay also shows how solemn this exchange was once it is seen in light of this back ground. An array of Jewish texts illumine the expressions of the 'Blessed One' and 'the Power'. A positive assessment of this passage's authenticity is significant for historical Jesus studies.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract Working on the hugely successful series of novels known collectively as A Song of Ice and Fire, George R. R. Martin is known to have drawn much of his inspiration from real-life events, landmarks in the history of the Middle Ages, such as the Hundred Years’ War, the Wars of the Roses, and the Crusades. It is not known, however, to what degree he actually relies in his work on sources of genuinely medieval provenance, since he himself frequently admits that amongst those that made the biggest impact on his writing are modern works of fiction, such as Maurice Druon’s heptalogy Les Rois maudits (2019 [1955–1977]). It is not impossible, though, that at least some features of Martin’s series have more or less direct parallels in medieval literature. One such element may be so-called kennings, the highly-stylised circumlocutions found in plenty in the poetic works of early Germanic literature and whose diction appears to shine through some of the series’ titles.

Full textAbstract:
Starting from Nicholas Zurbrugg’s dismissal of the negative ‘B-Effect’ in postmodernism, which he associates with ‘Benjamin, Brecht, Beckett, Barthes, Baudrillard, and Bourdieu’, this essay examines the common rationale behind convergent affirmations of a neutrality or minimalism, often mistaken for nihilism, at key junctures in the works of Samuel Beckett and Roland Barthes, adding Maurice Blanchot as a critical link. The argument unfolds along a double axis: it first considers the formal role of ‘chatter’ or ‘idle speech’ and the fragment(ary in writing) in the three ‘B-writers’ before relating them to different constructions of temporality, such as the ‘future anterior’ and the après-coup, in their thematizations of ‘catastrophe’ and ‘disaster’ as indirect responses to personal or historical trauma and death. A brief concluding paragraph highlights how time’s suspensiveness leads to different forms of waiting across Barthes, Blanchot and Beckett.

Full textAbstract:
This article represents an attempt to expound the meaning of 33rd canon of the Council of Elvira (circa 306 A.D.), based on historical and grammatical criteria, in reference to doubts related to the linguistic understanding of the text. The author argues that the traditional interpretation of the canon as a prescription prohibiting those who have received major orders (i.e. deacons, presbyters and bishops) having marital relationship is justified (as opposed to authors who agree with the opinion presented by Maurice Meigne). This, in turn, recognises the authenticity of the text as an integral part of the entire collection of the canons of the Council of Elvira. This paper, while presenting a version of the translation of the canon, proposes also some modifications on punctuation marks, which allows the extraction of the full meaning of the text.

ABSTRACTConventionalism once seemed an attractive way to justify the viability of the positivistic social thesis. Subsequent criticism, however, has significantly lessened its attractiveness. This paper attempts to revive jurisprudential interest in conventionalism by claiming that positivists would profit more from the conventionalism of Ruth G. Millikan than that of David Lewis.Three arguments are proffered to support this contention. First, Millikan's conventionalism is not vulnerable to the major criticism leveled at conventionalism, viz its compliance-dependence (i.e., the main reason to follow a convention is that other social actors do so), as this is not its defining feature. Second, Millikanian conventionalism retains conventionalism's ability to explain how law emerges from social practices while avoiding the main disadvantage of Lewisian conventionalism, viz its inability to explain the normativity and contestability of law. Third, Millikan's conventionalism can more effectively repel Dworkin's and Greenberg's assaults on legal positivism than its Lewisian counterpart.To the memory of Maurice O'Brien

Full textAbstract:
In this article, I describe the experience of dancing-a-walk. My specific focus is on the shift that I perceive in my body when I dance-a-walk rather than functionally walking. Following a firstperson perspective, I demonstrate how my experience of practicing dancing-a-walk interrogates the habit of walking and makes it come alive again as an expression of the body. First, I show how the practice of dancing-a-walk challenges the dichotomy between abstract and concrete movement proposed by Maurice Merleau-Ponty in the Phenomenology of Perception. Indeed, dancing-a-walk is an example of a concrete and yet already abstract movement. Then, I turn to concepts such as habits and body memory. By identifying how the perception of my body changes when I dance everyday movements (i.e., walking) versus when I execute such movements functionally, I aim to develop a new perspective on and vocabulary for a phenomenological definition of concrete/abstract movements within the context of dance.

Full textAbstract:
What is the role of gestures within the wider problem of corporeity in Maurice Merleau‑Ponty? How do gestures exemplify and complicate the bodily experience? The aim of this article is to investigate the thematic of gesture in Merleau‑Ponty’s production, with particular attention to the Phenomenology of Perception (1945) and the lessons held at the Collège de France about institution, passivity and nature (1954–60), down to the final indirect ontology inThe Visible and the Invisible. Gestures could be understood as forms (Gestalten), i.e. dynamic structures which express individual and collective behaviours, as well as institutions (Stiftungen), underlying the process of sedimentation and reactivation of meanings. In both cases, gestures have a heuristic or generative function: they shape the individual style in the encounter with the world through “typics” or recurring “motifs”. As a conclusion, the paper argues for the key‑role of gesture, in order to re‑think eidetic intuition as the grasping of operative and emotional essences.

Full textAbstract:
The starting-point and, at the same time, the foundation of recent scholarship on the Arabic translations of Aristotle's Metaphysics are Maurice Bouyges' excellent critical edition of the work in which the extant translations of the Metaphysics are preserved – i.e. Averroes' Tafsīr (the so-called “Long Commentary”) of the Metaphysics – and his comprehensive account of the Arabic translations and translators of the Metaphysics in the introductory volume. Relying on the texts made available by Bouyges and the impressive amount of philological information conveyed in his edition, subsequent scholars have been able to select and focus on more specific topics, providing, for example, a closer inspection of the Arabic translations of the single books of the Metaphysics (books A, α, and Λ in particular), or a detailed comparison of some of these translations with the original text of the Metaphysics. A new trend of research in recent times has been the study of these versions as part of the wider context of the Graeco-Arabic translation movement.

Full textAbstract:
Strategikon which is ascribed to Maurice Emperor (582‒602) was an important strategic and tactical manual designed for the Byzantine Military. The work contains a special chapter which, as the author claims, analyses the tactics and features of the peoples who are able to harm the Byzantine Empire. Persians, Scythians, i.e. Avars, Turks and other fair-haired peoples, including Franks, Lombards and Slavic nations are mentioned in the chapter. Each of the ethnically different nations is given an objective and sometimes a rather high evaluation of their military abilities and features on the one hand and in proportion to its empirical prejudice, on the other hand. Surprisingly, Armenians, who had fought against the Byzantine troops on numerous occasions both independently and more often as an ally of Iran or its subordinate forces, were not included in the list of the enemy nations or potential opponent nations in Strategikon. The present article examines the Armenian–Byzantine relations in the time period and suggests possible reasons for removing Armenians from the list of the potential enemies.

Full textAbstract:
Could machines ever take our place in the creation of art, and particularly music? The outstanding results of some well-known AIs (e.g. EMI, Flow Machines) might make us believe that this is the case. However, despite this evidence it seems that machines present some intrinsic limits both in creative and non-creative contexts (already highlighted by John Searle and the debate around mechanism). The arguments of this paper are centred around this very belief: we are convinced that the utopian claims regarding all-round machine intelligence are not plausible and that our attention should be directed towards more relevant issues in the field of computational creativity. In particular, we focus our attention on what we call the “body issue”, i.e. the role of the body in the experience and creation of music, that we consider problematic for the idea of a truly creative machine (even if we take into consideration weaker renditions of artificial intelligence). Our argument is based on contemporary findings in neuroscience (especially on embodied cognition) and on the theories of Maurice Merleau-Ponty and Roland Barthes.

Full textAbstract:
In a preliminary study conducted during the early phase of the COVID-19 pandemic, i.e., the spring 2021 semester, this paper explores the integration of Zoom into online learning while in-person teaching was paused. This pilot study aims to offer initial insights to improve inclusivity and accessibility in teaching and learning. While more robust empirical research has since been conducted to enhance Zoom-based learning environments, the findings from this study remain foundational and complementary to ongoing and future pedagogical research in online education and digital pedagogy. During a one-month ethnographic study involving five participants, including college students and professors, Maurice Merleau-Ponty’s phenomenological concepts were applied to investigate how students and educators navigate temporal and spatial challenges in Zoom meetings and the strategies they use to overcome these obstacles. Additionally, an experiential autoethnography was employed to document personal experiences beyond the Zoom classroom, providing insight into participants' daily lives. By capturing a snapshot of the initial transition to remote education, particularly through Zoom meetings, this study offers valuable information for improving the online learning experience for both students and educators.

Memory of the borders: The demarcation productivity of Vodici in the Mijaci - inhabited Macedonian villages of Bituše and EhloecThe main aim of this article is to present ways of expressing the inner (religious) and external (ethnic) social boundaries of Mijaks, as they appear during the celebration of the festival of Epiphany (Revelation of Lord / Baptism of Christ in the Jordan / Vodici) in the villages of Bituše and Ehloec (Western Macedonia). The realization of this goal is based on the notion of the demarcation productivity of Vodici, developed based on Nikita Ilyich Tolstoy’s theory of ritual codes, with its semiotic foundations of Yuri Lotman’s signifying elements; insights concerning the relationship between rituals and social boundaries made by Anthony Cohen and Macin Lubaś; Clifford Geertz’s observations on the ritual ignorance of newly-created urban social patterns; the notions of collective memory of religious groups of Maurice Halbwachs; Paul Connerton’s commemorative ceremonies and the concept of media of memory, developed by Jan Assmann, Astrid Erll and others. The sources of analysis are the results of my fieldwork, i.e. participant observation and in-depth interviews (primary sources, 2012–2014), carried out in the mentioned villages, as well as secondary sources: printed materials, manuscripts, as well as audio and video recordings.

El presente artículo discute algunas dificultades insuperables que enfrenta la teoría marginalista del valor y la distribución para establecer una correspondencia con la observación, a la luz de las contribuciones de M. Allais en la década de los cuarenta del siglo XX, particularmente en “Traité d’économie pure” (1943/1994) y Économie et intérét (1947/1998). El artículo revisa las razones que llevan a Allais desde ofrecer la primera formalización del equilibrio general intertemporal (IGE) en una economía con horizonte finito en su Traité, hasta abandonar dicha noción de equilibrio en Économie, y adoptar en su lugar la noción de equilibrio estacionario. El artículo muestra: 1. Cómo esas razones expresan una contradicción entre el tratamiento del factor capital como un vector heterogéneo de mercancías al interior del IGE, y la capacidad de este de tener el rol tradicionalmente asignado al equilibrio como un centro de gravitación; y 2. Que el concepto de equilibrio estacionario tampoco puede ser aceptado, ya que también enfrenta a la teoría con un obstáculo insuperable en el tratamiento del capital, en este caso como un factor homogéneo, concebido como una magnitud de valor. Se concluye que el problema general del tratamiento del capital al interior del enfoque marginalista es irresoluble, y obliga a buscar un enfoque alternativo.

Full textAbstract:
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.

Full textAbstract:
This article is devoted to language games in the Polish contemporary novel Pleasant things. Utopia by T. Bołdak-Janowska. The subject of the analysis are in-text games: narrative (themes and threads), graphic, sound, lexical and semantic (repetitions of themes and lexemes, antonyms, semantic neologisms) and word-formation (word-formation neologisms), as well as autocreation games of the narrator (knowledge / ignorance). The study indicates that in the analyzed novel language games play a significant role: they determine the multifaceted and attractive character of a work based on a world presented by the narrator's uninhibited imagination. Narrative games, exemplified by the theme of counting, indicate the complexity of human fate – the runner of history – and his entanglement in a number of interpersonal relationships, as well as the historical process itself, which is subject to constant changes, both locally and globally, independent of the will of the individual. Graphic games are based on modern language fashion, functioning especially in the environment of the youth. Sound games are based on the technique of threading referring to Bolero by Maurice Ravel. Lexical-semantic games, being a tool for describing added meanings, connotated according to a known (or – more often – created by the narrator) language, take the reader into a utopian world and at the same time – relatively perfect, i.e., dependent on the point of view of the speaker I-women.

Full textAbstract:
This article throws into relief the difference that renders both Kristeva and Derrida's articulations of metaphor difficult. The difficulty lies in appreciating what I shall call the reversive force at work in every motion, a force suggested by the prefix dis-/dif- shared by both difference and difficulty. If misreading is the index of carelessness in the face of precisely such a reversive force, then the felicity of our conveyance through footsteps destined to remain ahead of us necessitates a commitment to a care-full reading that (following Maurice Blanchot) will take the risk of imagining the hand writing and the death (i.e. the promise, chance, fear of impossibility) that bears this hand along. Paradoxically, for Blanchot this difficult reading is marked by an ease that we associate with happiness and innocence, for it opens itself joyfully as well as trustingly to the death borne by writing and "holds [it] in its turn" though (as Blanchot emphasizes) only in order to reverse it (precisely "through its ease"). It is this happy innocence, this joyful beginning as if for the first time (without guilt or knowledge, without fear of harm, without praejudicium) that determines an understanding of politics in the second part of the essay which investigates the stakes of each theorist's pas au-delà: that is, their step beyond in the direction of a more archaic motility.

Full textAbstract:
Organizational Memory Studies (OMS) is limited by its managerialist, presentist preoccupation with the utility of memory for knowledge management. The dominant model of memory in OMS is that of a storage bin. But this model has been rejected by psychologists because it overlooks the distinctly human subjective experience of remembering, i.e. episodic memory. OMS also fails to take account of the specific social and historical contexts of organizational memory. The methodological individualism that is prevalent in OMS makes it difficult to engage with the rapidly expanding sociological and historical literature in social memory studies, where a more social constructionist approach to ‘collective memory’ is generally favoured. However, for its part social memory studies derived from Maurice Halbwachs neglects organizations, focusing primarily on the nation as a mnemonic community. From a critical perspective organizations can be seen as appropriating society’s memory through corporate sites of memory such as historical visitor attractions and corporate museums. There is scope for a sociological and historical reorientation within OMS, drawing on social memory studies and focusing on corporate sites of memory, such as The Henry Ford museum complex, as well as the mnemonic role of founders and beginnings in organizations. Taking a social constructionist, collectivist approach to social remembering in organizations allows connections to be made between memory and other research programmes, such as organizational culture studies.

Full textAbstract:
In his article ‘A Nonce-word in the Iliad’ (CQ 35 [1985], 1–8) Maurice Pope argues against the usual modern interpretation of παναώριος, a Homeric ἃπαξ λεγόμενον applied by Achilles to himself at Il. 24.540, sc. ‘of all-untimely fate’, ‘doomed to die young’, and the like. The same is also the interpretation of the scholium παντελ⋯ς ἄωρον ⋯ποθανούμενον, whilst Herodian and Eustathius, respectively with κατ⋯ πάντα ἄωρον and πάντῃ ἄωρον, do no more than paraphrase the force of παν- in the compound. Pope tries to establish instead the suitability of the meaning ‘out of season’, i.e. in what Achilles does or fails to do in general. His case rests on the ground of what is appropriate to or required by the context, since, as he himself shows, the word in itself can, on the analogy of closely related forms, notably the adjective ἄωρος, bear the meaning usually attributed to it, provided the context contains sufficient indication of a reference to death. Accordingly, the validity of his argument depends on his assessment of this context.Pope recognises that throughout the last part of the Iliad, at least starting from the conversation between Achilles and his mother at 18.70ff., Achilles is fully aware of the nearness and unavoidability of his own death, and that ‘from this point on Homer exploits the atmosphere of impending doom’. But after citing several passages in which the approach of Achilles' death is mentioned, Pope continues as follows.

Full textAbstract:
Liminality is an anthropological concept that has been influential in contemporary social studies. This article is written from an organisation culture and studies perspective wherein liminality has been seen: (i) as something that must be controlled, (ii) as a utopian call to creativity, and (iii) as a dystopian entrapment. Liminality has to do with whether the study of practice has been excessively cognitive whereby the human is reduced to concepts of control, efficiency and profit; and whereby the soma (Gr.) of the physical body is marginalised as mind, spirit, and ideation are prioritised. Thus, what of sarx (Gr.) or the flesh of existence (see Merleau-Ponty, Klossowski)? In this article we explore liminality evaluating its relationship to bodily-ness / bodyless-ness, affect and text. We start with a discussion of liminality as originated by the anthropologists van Gennep and Turner, and as pushed aside by Weick, but lionised as creativity by Kostera, and denounced as stagnation by Szakolczai. This is followed by an auto-ethnographic case study. The case study points to the unheimisch 2 of liminality which we examine via Pierre Klossowski’s manifoldness. Realising that text about liminality and its embodiment easily becomes paradoxical (unembodied and affectless), we present a non-textual (i.e., not written) visual reaction to the case; again, in the spirit of Klossowski; and we conclude with reflections co-inspired by Maurice Merlau-Ponty on the physical affectivity of liminality.

The paper is devoted to the historical and legal aspects of political theology: its civilizational path (in Modern and Contemporary Times), its impact on the legal understanding and implementation of ideas related to the concepts power, state, law. Political theology serves as the metaphysical foundation of political structures and institutions. The issues of political and religious areas, their mergers are investigated through the prism of dialectical development. Special attention is paid to the symbolic side of political theology. The category institutions is examined as a set of corporate, organic and instrumental entities that consolidate and fix the processes of legal genesis. The institution is associated with a number of political and legal conditions of a particular state and acquires its legal significance through the psychological accession of citizens by unanimous consent. The category symbol can be traced in the mythologized and religious perspective of power. The state power has always, since the most ancient times of the existence of mankind, required some kind of mysterious sacralization and worshiping. In general, the life of a social group organized and endowed with permanence, i.e. representing a stable institution, turns out to be included in the circle of symbolic procedures and rituals. Fundamental positions of Maurice Hauriou and Carl Schmitt had a great influence on the research. As for the views of outstanding jurists (set forth in the works “Fundamentals of Public Law” and “Political Theology”), it is important to emphasize their value for domestic science and practice. In the complex world realities of today, the theories that reveal the postulates of sociolaw and geolaw popular in Russia arouse unconditional interest among scholars and politicians.

Full textAbstract:
Shwachman-Diamond syndrome (SDS) is one of the more common inherited bone marrow failure syndromes (IBMFS). Almost 90% of patients with SDS present mutations in the Shwachman-Bodian-Diamond syndrome gene (SBDS) which encodes for the homonymous small protein involved in ribogenesis. SDS is a multiple-organ disease mostly characterized by exocrine pancreas insufficiency, bone malformations, and more importantly bone marrow failure. Most patients with SDS present severe neutropenia, whereas thrombocytopenia and anemia are less frequent. Furthermore, 15-20% of patients develop myelodysplastic syndrome with high risk of acute myeloid leukemia (AML). STAT3 pathway is upregulated both in primary SDS leukocytes and immortalized B cells. Being STAT3 a key regulator of interleukin-6 (IL-6), we postulated that STAT3 hyper-activation could lead to a dysregulation of the IL-6 signaling cascade. Increased levels of IL-6 have been found in pediatric patients with AML and it has been associated with poorer outcomes in these patients, highlighting IL-6 as a cytokine potentially involved in the development of AML. Thus, our hypothesis is that STAT3-IL6 axis may contribute to leukemogenesis in SDS. Almost 55% of patients with SDS carry a specific nonsense mutations, namely the c.183-184TA>CT, which cause a premature termination codon (PTC). Ataluren (PTC124, PTC Therapeutics Inc, NJ) is a small PTC suppressor molecule already approved by the European Medicines Agency as a therapeutic option for Duchenne muscular dystrophy. Interestingly, we recently reported that ataluren can restore SBDS expression in bone marrow progenitors and in peripheral blood mononuclear cells isolated from patients with SDS. Moreover, we have shown that ataluren can reduce mTOR hyper-phosphorylation and excessive apoptotic rate observed in SDS leukocytes. More importantly, we reported that ataluren can improve myeloid differentiation in a small cohort of patients (Bezzerri et al, Am J Hematol 2018). In this further analysis considering an enlarged cohort of 20 SDS patients carrying nonsense mutations we found the following: Ataluren can significantly improve both myeloid colony-forming unit-granulocyte/macrophage (CFU-GM) and colony-forming unit granulocyte, erythrocyte, monocyte, megakaryocyte (CFU-GEMM) generation from bone marrow mononuclear stem cells obtained from an enlarged cohort of 20 patients with SDS carrying nonsense mutations. Ataluren indeed almost doubled the number of CFU-GM and CFU-GEMM after 7 and 14 days of treatment.Colony-forming unit erythroid (CFU-E) generation was not affected by the treatment.Ataluren induces neutrophil maturation in SDS bone marrow mononuclear stem cells (mean increase of 61% CD16+ CD11b+ cells over untreated controls) after 24-48 hours of treatment.Consistently with STAT3 hyper-activation observed in SDS cells, here we show that patients with SDS present a significantly increased level of IL-6 in plasma (4.3-fold higher expression than the healthy control group). Also lymphoblastoid cell lines (LCL) and primary bone marrow mesenchymal stromal cells (MSC) obtained from patients with SDS show increased IL-6 release in culture supernatants compared to healthy controls (2.5-fold and 6.8-fold higher levels, respectively).Of note, ataluren can reduce IL-6 expression in SDS cells restoring normal levels both in LCL and MSC. In conclusion, these new data support the enrollment of patients for the first clinical trial for this drug in SDS. Furthermore, this study could pave the way for the use of ataluren for other nonsense mutation-mediated IBMFS where STAT3-IL6 axis and similar pro-leukemic pathways are involved.

Abstract This analysis of the text of Pseudo-Maurice’s Strategikon ch. xi,3, discussing the “light-haired peoples,” is based on a new investigation of the MSS by the on-line photocopies, and shows that in the text there are many inner citations and paraphrases as well as some traces of redactions previous to the archetype (i.e. common ancestor of the MSS). The analysis of the punctuation allows to propose the hypothesis that the cola in Leo’s Problemata do reflect directly the system of punctuation in the hyparchetype α (i.e. the ancestor of β, which is the progenitor of the main MSS). The text’s development before the first split of the tradition between MSS families could be separated into the following phases for ch. xi,3: (1) Xanth (the Urtext of the chapter), (2) Kairos (many interpolations and possible extraction of the text of Xanth including the first part of the title), and (3) Abar (some additional interpolations, including the names of the Franks and Lombards). The blonds (xantha ethne) of the first phase are neither Franks nor Lombards. More likely they are different gentes of the Middle Danube between the time of Attila and the appearance of the Avars – like Ostrogoths, Gepids, Heruls, etc.

Geological contexts that lack minimal stratigraphic and piezometric information can be challenging to produce an initial hydrogeological map in remote territories. This study proposes an approach to characterize a regional aquifer using transient electromagnetic (TEM) surveys. Given the presence of randomly dispersed boreholes, the Saint-Narcisse moraine in the Mauricie region of Quebec (Canada) is an appropriate site for collecting the required geophysical data, correlating the stratigraphic and piezometric information, and characterizing regional granular aquifers in terms of stratigraphy, geometry, thickness, and extent. In order to use all TEM results (i.e., 47 stations) acquired in the moraine area, we also correlated 13 TEM stations, 7 boreholes, and 6 stratigraphic cross-sections to derive an empirical and local petrophysical relationship and to establish a calibration chart of the sediments. Our TEM data, combined with piezometric mapping and the sedimentary records from boreholes and stratigraphic cross-sections, revealed the compartmentalization of a multi-kilometer morainic system and indicated the presence of two large unconfined granular aquifers overlying the bedrock. These aquifers extend more than 12 km east to west across the study area and are between 25 and >94 m thick. The TEM method provides critical information on groundwater at a regional scale by acquiring information from multiple stations within a short time span to a degree not possible with other existing methodologies.

Full textAbstract:
This article is centered on two of Sartre’s literary works: “Nausea” and “No Exit” along with his dialectical theory of the ‘Look’ in Being and Nothingness. I believe that these three texts represent not three distinct perspectives but rather different sets of approach to the same problem i.e. the phenomenon of human relationship. It is with this point in mind that I develop the following interrelated claims. First, even though Sartre intended to bring a new language and mode of articulation in his later works, the fundamental features of his philosophy remained the same. Thus, issues that are foundational to his early writing including the self/other relationship, the for-itself as project, the contingent reality of the world, the resistance of the in-itself/ materiality all figure high in his later writings as well. Second, as opposed to any social philosophy which accepts the possibility of a harmonious relation between human beings Sartre perceived the essence of human relations not as mitesein (‘being-with’), but rather as conflict. I submit that the source of Sartre’s problem lies in his very model of social relations given that his social ontology does not allow him to incorporate what Maurice Marleau-Ponty calls the "inter-world". This paper is also informed with the belief that although Sartre the intellectual and the creative artist are closely joined together, essentially, the novelist is much more assuring than the philosopher. Thus, even when he is not writing a literary composition proper he displays a unique talent of putting his philosophical ideas in artistic and dramatic terms. I use Sartre’s phenomenological description of the dialectic of the "look" (Le Regard) to demonstrate this point. The final section of the paper is devoted to a critical examination of Sartre’s philosophical positions developed in the works discussed above.

Full textAbstract:
The lithium isotope ratio in stars can be determined from high resolution observations of the profile of the Li I 6707 Å absorption line. Earlier studies of old F and G stars (Andersen et al. 1984, Maurice et al. 1984, Pilachowski et al. 1989) have led to upper limits of 6Li/7Li ranging from 0.05 to 0.10. Recently, Smith, Lambert & Nissen (1993) seem to have detected 6Li in HD 84937 - a metal-poor turnoff star with Teff ⋍ 6200 K and [Fe/H] ⋍ —2.4. An isotope ratio 6Li/7Li = 0.05 ± 0.02 was determined (see Fig. 1) The detection has been confirmed by Hobbs & Thorburn (1994), who derived 6Li/7Li = 0.07 ± 0.03. The main contribution to the quoted (1σ) errors comes from the noise in the spectrum (S/N = 400) and possible errors in the Doppler broadening of the Li line (Nissen 1994). This broadening is due to stellar rotation and macro-turbulent motions in the stellar atmosphere and can be determined from the profiles of unblended metallic absorption lines.As discussed in detail by Steigman et al. (1993) the presence of 6Li in the atmosphere of HD 84937 is consistent with the measured Be abundance (Boesgaard & King 1993) within the context of i) Standard Big Bang nucleosynthesis, ii) Pop. II cosmic ray nucleosynthesis and iii) standard (non-rotating) models for Li depletion. In particular, Steigman et al. derive D6 > 0.2, where D6 is the depletion factor for 6Li. As shown by Chaboyer (1994) standard stellar evolution models with new opacities predict D6≃ 0.4 for turnoff stars and subgiants with Teff > 5900 K. The same models predict D7 ≃ 1.0, i.e. no 7Li depletion for main sequence stars as well as subgiants with Teff ≥ 5800 K.

Full textAbstract:
To study the multiple spatial scale pattern of habitat use by Pileated Woodpeckers (Dryocopus pileatus L.), we compared the vegetation characteristics at used sites with those at unused sites at macrohabitat (154 ha radius plots) and microhabitat (ca. 0.04 ha radius plots) scales in the La Mauricie region of Québec. Used macrohabitats were those in which woodpeckers were detected at playback stations. Used microhabitats corresponded to sites showing signs of foraging (i.e., excavated cavities). Pileated Woodpeckers responded to vegetation structure at both scales sampled. Macrohabitats used by woodpeckers had relatively low percentages of mixed shade-intolerant hardwood stands, coniferous stands, and stands of relatively low stem density and tree height, but included high percentages of 51- to 90-year-old stands. Microhabitats used by woodpeckers were characterized most strongly by a high density of large snags but also by a high density of small-diameter snags and a low density of shade-intolerant hardwood trees and coniferous trees [Formula: see text]30 cm diameter at breast height. The concordance between the observed and predicted use of micro- and macro-habitat plots was independent of spatial scale (logistic regression, χ20.05,1 = 1.8, P = 0.18, n = 429), suggesting that habitats use by woodpeckers was influenced to a similar extent by habitat features measured at both spatial scales. Because Pileated Woodpeckers are likely to require specific habitat features at different spatial scales, forest-management guidelines intended to conserve this umbrella species should consider a multiple spatial scales approach.

Full textAbstract:
The article deals with the problem of Ukrainian society’s interaction with its own ideas about the Soviet past. In particular, based on the anthropological interpretation of the myth notion (according to which a myth is a story or narrative that has a sacral character for a specific social group or community), three examples of Soviet myths are considered: 1) about Stalin as a great leader; 2) about nationalism; 3) the Soviet narrative about Ukraine’s past. An important aspect of this article is the analysis of the post-Soviet dynamics of these myths, i.e., their transformation in conditions reminiscent of post-colonialism in countries of Africa and Asia, which were colonies of European countries in the past. In particular, the idea of Stalin as a great leader can serve as an example of coexistence of short and extended stories of a myth. This distinction was introduced by Bronisław Malinowski and Maurice Leenhardt to denote myths that have either taken the form of a clear narrative (short story) or exist, in people’s minds, in the form of vague ideas and beliefs (extended story). The analysis of dynamics of attitudes toward Stalin in Ukrainian society throughout 1991–2016 allows us to identify social factors, which determined positive and negative attitudes toward him in the post-Soviet period. In particular, it is shown that upon the 2000s the identity factor is crucial: if a person identifies him- or herself with the Ukrainian nation, his/her attitude towards Stalin is clearly negative. The analysis of both the main narratives about Ukraine’s past and the perception of the nationalism concept in Ukrainian society proves the accuracy of using the post-colonial approach to the understanding of Ukrainian society during 1991–2022. In particular, the theses of Gayatri Chakravorty Spivak and Edward Said that the domination of colonizers in the sphere of culture persists even in the case a nation has already gained political independence, have been confirmed. First, the nation keeps using the language of colonizers, i.e., keeps staying in the field of meanings imposed by colonizers. Such is the fate of the nationalism concept, which until 2014 had been perceived in Ukrainian society mainly in a Soviet way. The co-existence of six narratives about Ukraine’s past, of which only 2 were distinctly Soviet, allows us to understand the mechanisms of decolonization that took place in Ukrainian society before 2014.

Full textAbstract:
Redox flow batteries (RFB) are an emerging technology for large-scale grid energy storage. Different approaches have been adopted to investigate the operation of RFBs, such as experimental testing and mathematical modelling of the electrochemical cells [1]. However, the effect of the flow and mixing in the electrolyte tanks on the performance of RFBs has been largely overlooked and only recently has started to receive some attention [2]. In a recent work, the authors used numerical simulations to show how the fluid dynamics of the electrolytes within small lab-scale tanks can lead to different flow behaviors depending on whether forced or natural convection is dominant. The irregular transient mixing of the electrolyte in the tanks modifies both the cell potential and battery capacity with respect to those predicted under the widely used perfect mixing assumption (i.e., continuous stirred-tank reactor) [3]. However, this first attempt relied on several simplifying assumptions, such as two-dimensional geometries under small-cell (i.e., laminar) flow conditions, and thus provided only a qualitatively understanding of the flow in the tanks. This work exploits the idea of using CFD simulations to investigate the effect of operating conditions on the electrolyte flow in the tanks and its impact on battery response, focusing on high capacity industrial tanks with high (i.e., turbulent) flow rates and less restrictive simplifying assumptions. Our numerical simulations show how turbulence improves mixing, but also produces quasi-steady flows where a turbulent jet crosses the tank leaving dead electrolyte regions. Different tank solutions are presented aiming to improve the mixing and increase the capacity of the battery, playing both with the tank geometry and the operating conditions. Results on the charging and discharging operations, cell potential and electrolyte mixing index are presented and discussed.
