Creatures in Hemingway's Short Stories: Les Hommages to Human Grief
Creatures in Hemingway's Short Stories: 静岡県立大学 Les Hommages to Human Grief 99 短期大学部 研究紀要第 12-1 号 1998 年度 Creatures in Hemingway's Short Stories: Les Hommages to Human Grief Hiroshi TAKAHASHI The Complete Short Stories of Ernest Hemingway, the Finca Vigía Edition published by Charles Scribner's Sons in 1987, contains in its whole bulk of seventy stories the eight items in whose titles Hemingway had the same number of creatures included: ① "Cat in the Rain," ② "Hills Like White Elephants," ③ "A Canary for One," ④ "The Butterfly and the Tank," ⑤ "The Good Lion," ⑥ "The Faithful Bull," ⑦ "Get a Seeing-Eyed Dog," and ⑧ "Black Ass at the Cross Roads"（gothics added）. While it is admitted that the group of animals mentioned above show the author's innate penchant for animated nature such as often seen in his works, whether in novels, in short stories, or in essays, it may also be of some interest to some readers and critics of Hemingway's short stories to notice that these eight stories may be capable of a collective survey as one lot, in terms of his technical feats by exquisitely using living things as crucial props or measures to enhance dramatic effects with, although not like such significantly big elements in the development of stories as the bulls in The Sun Also Rises or the leopard and the hyena in "The Snows of Kilimanjaro." The technique of introducing into the works something like simile, metaphor, implication, association, insinuation, reminder, or instigator by using animals could be regarded as of the topnotch quality. -
Santa Fosca in Torcello and the Middle Byzantine Churches in Eastern Greece: Preliminary Comparison and Remarks on Common Features and Differences
Athens Journal of History January 2016 Santa Fosca in Torcello and the Middle Byzantine Churches in Eastern Greece: Preliminary Comparison and Remarks on Common Features and Differences By Antonella Manzo The main aim of this work is to critically examine Santa Fosca building period through the analysis of the similarities as well as the differences with some churches located in Greece and belonging to the so-called octagonal domed type. In fact, since the second half of the Nineteenth century a historiographical tradition has compared Santa Fosca with these Greek Middle-Byzantine churches, where eight supports, piers or columns, arranged in a regular or irregular octagon, receive the loads from the cupola. The comparison is based on the direct analysis of these buildings: the structural configuration, the constructive materials and techniques as well as the affinities in decoration, occurring both inside and outside, are under investigation. This contribution offers a new perspective, from which it could be possible to study the period of erection of the Venetian church, a topic that is still object of debate among the scientific community. Introduction Torcello is an island belonging to the Northern Venetian Laguna, which lives its golden age during the X-XI century AD: in his Administrando Imperio of 927 Constantine VII Porphyrogenitus defines Torcello as emporion mega, to testify the great importance of its intense trades with the Orient. The church of Santa Fosca is located on the island at the Southern side of the ancient Basilica of Santa Maria Assunta, whose origins date back to the inscription of 639 AD, discovered during the excavations of 1895. -

Are Four Centuries of Systemic Segregation Coming to an End?
EOTVOS LORAND UNIVERSITY European Master’s Degree in Human Rights and Democratization 2016/2017 Are Four Centuries of Systemic Segregation Coming to an End? A socio-historical analysis of custodial care with case studies on deinstitutionalisation of children with disabilities in Bulgaria and Serbia. Author: Lazar Stefanović Supervisor: prof. Dr. Katalin Tausz ABSTRACT This study encompasses the phenomenon of institutionalisation of persons with mental disabilities in a holistic manner, from its rise to the fall as the only mainstream form of care for this group. The phenomenon of the period of “great confinement” with regards to persons with mental disorders determined the later development of custodial care systems; hence my thesis examines wrongness of the inveteracy of punitive and control oriented care that was long taken for granted. The perception of mental disorders progressed significantly after the aforementioned period; still today we are able to detect worryingly outdated approaches to mental disability as well as some features of the custodial care that were present a few centuries ago. A significant breakthrough happened with introduction of somewhat vague concept of dignity that allowed theorists and lawmakers to further develop understanding of this concept and incorporate it in international legal instruments. The position of dignity is examined with regards to realization of the rights of persons with mental disabilities and understanding the importance of autonomy as a prerequisite for dignified life. Ultimately, deinstitutionalisation is a tool by which the society loosens the control established upon the persons with mental disorders a long time ago. The case studies focus on the processes of deinstitutionalisation of children with disabilities in Bulgaria and Serbia. -
The Future of Venice's Past and the Archaeology of The
CHAPTER SEVEN THE FUTURE OF VENICE’S PAST AND THE ARCHAEOLOGY OF THE NORTHEASTERN ADRIATIC EMPORIA DURING THE EARLY MIDDLE AGES Sauro Gelichi1 Were there Italian Emporia in the Early Middle Ages? The debate about the archaeology of early medieval emporia has been, and essentially remains, entirely north-European, due to both its greater visibility in those regions and the intrinsic nature of archaeology in those countries.2 Of course, the development of these investigations has produced records that have been immediately used for a more general discussion of the economy in Europe and the Mediterranean from Late Antiquity to the Carolingian Age, following in the wake of a critical revision of the views of the well-known Belgian historian Pirenne.3 Developed during the first decade of the last century, the Pirenne thesis has been variously discussed and disputed over time.4 However, due to its overall persuasive nature, it continues to be one of the few examples that attempts to explain the developments and mechanisms of the economy in early medieval Europe in general terms. Lying in the background of this theory and linked to Pirenne’s view of Europe as a centre of the Carolingian economy is the ques- tion of towns and their function in the early medieval period. This is a question to which Pirenne had also made a particular contribution in terms of a reassessment of their role and function, at least before 1 Università Ca’ Foscari—Venezia. 2 R.

Presentazione I Tesori Della Laguna Venezia 2015
Via Bastie, 112/D – 30034 Dogaletto di Mira (VE) - tel. 348 9491120 www.mavericknauticlub.com - email: [email protected] 16 – 17 maggio 2015 7° EDIZIONE “““I“III TESORI DELLA LAGUNA DI VENEZIAVENEZIA”””” Cari Soci e Amici, benvenuti alla VII° edizione dei Tesori della Laguna di Venezia. Anche quest’anno, andremo alla ricerca di angoli nascosti della nostra laguna, ovvero di qualche luogo che magari abbiamo già visitato con il nostro gommone, ma forse troppo in fretta e senza ben conoscerne la storia. Attraverseremo dunque tutta la laguna partendo da Sud (così potremo anche dar libero sfogo ai nostri cavalli, mare permettendo!), iniziando dalla Valle Millecampi, e per la precisione dal Casone Millecampi, caratteristico esempio di architettura lagunare dei secoli scorsi, inserito in un contesto ambientale molto suggestivo. E' l'unico lembo lagunare della Provincia di Padova, poco lontano da Chioggia, al di la dei grandi scavi di canalizzazione e deviazione dei fiumi Brenta e Bacchighione. Tutt'attorno la terraferma strappata alla laguna con le opere di bonifica iniziate già nel 1500 per volere del ricco possidente, nonché famoso mecenate, Alvise Cornaro. Qui ormeggeremo per una visita al luogo, recentemente ristrutturato. Pranzo al sacco, e nel pomeriggio, partenza per l’Isola della Certosa, situata nelle immediate vicinanze di Venezia, dove ormeggeremo e allestiremo le tende per la notte. L’isola, che fino a 10 anni fa giaceva in stato di abbandono, è stata recentemente interessata da un ampio processo di valorizzazione, nel rispetto dell’ambiente e del particolare contesto storico e ambientale della Laguna di Venezia. Infatti, dapprima è stata costruita una darsena, con circa 300 posti barca fino a 40 metri. -

Basilica Santa Maria Assunta in Torcello, Italy
HADES AS THE RULER OF THE DAMNED IN THE MOSAIC COMPLEX ON THE WEST WALL OF BASILICA SANTA MARIA ASSUNTA IN TORCELLO, ITALY ALEKSANDRA KRAUZE-KOŁODZIEJ The aim of this article is to show the figure of the ancient god Hades as an important part of Byzantine symbolic representations of the Last Judgement, using the example of the mosaic from the west wall of Basilica Santa Maria Assunta in Torcello, Italy. The article is divided into three main parts. The first part briefly introduces the mosaic complex from Torcello, providing a description of the place, the Basilica, and the mosaic. In the second part, the author focuses on the fragment of the mosaic presenting the figure of Hades in hell. In an effort to show the iconographical and cultural continuity between ancient and early medieval representations, the author compares this figure to its ancient prototype. The last part of the article portrays the development of the motif of the Last Judgment by looking at other chosen representations. In conclusion, the author proposes a possible meaning of the presence of Hades in the mosaic of Torcello. Introduction “There [in Hades] also among the dead, so men tell, another Zeus [Haides] holds a last judgment upon misdeeds” (Aeschyl. Suppl. 230).1 Thus, the Greek tragedian describes one of the most mysterious and terrifying gods in the ancient world: Hades, the god of death. Although this mighty divinity already ruled the ancient Greek Underworld in the time of Homer (e.g. Hom. Il. 9,457; Hes. Theog. 455), he did not receive the power to judge the dead until the post-Homeric period (e.g. -
