Sam Slick, the Clockmaker Dear Reader, This book was referenced in one of the 185 issues of 'The Builder' Magazine which was published between January 1915 and May 1930. To celebrate the centennial of this publication, the Pictoumasons website presents a complete set of indexed issues of the magazine. As far as the editor was able to, books which were suggested to the reader have been searched for on the internet and included in 'The Builder' library.' This is a book that was preserved for generations on library shelves before it was carefully scanned by one of several organizations as part of a project to make the world's books discoverable online. Wherever possible, the source and original scanner identification has been retained. Only blank pages have been removed and this header- page added. The original book has survived long enough for the copyright to expire and the book to enter the public domain. A public domain book is one that was never subject to copyright or whose legal copyright term has expired. Whether a book is in the public domain may vary country to country. Public domain books belong to the public and 'pictoumasons' makes no claim of ownership to any of the books in this library; we are merely their custodians.

Wisse Kelly Scott Johnson Sholem Schwarzbard: Biography of a Jewish Assassin Abstract The thesis represents the first complete academic biography of a Jewish clockmaker, warrior poet and Anarchist named Sholem Schwarzbard. Schwarzbard's experience was both typical and unique for a Jewish man of his era. It included four immigrations, two revolutions, numerous pogroms, a world war and, far less commonly, an assassination. The latter gained him fleeting international fame in 1926, when he killed the Ukrainian nationalist leader Symon Petliura in Paris in retribution for pogroms perpetrated during the Russian Civil War (1917-20). After a contentious trial, a French jury was sufficiently convinced both of Schwarzbard's sincerity as an avenger, and of Petliura's responsibility for the actions of his armies, to acquit him on all counts. Mostly forgotten by the rest of the world, the assassin has remained a divisive figure in Jewish-Ukrainian relations, leading to distorted and reductive descriptions his life.

  • Machines in the Garden
    2 Machines in the Garden Jessica Riskin What does it mean to be alive and conscious: an aware, thinking creature? Using lifelike machines to discuss animation and consciousness is a major cultural preoc- cupation of the early twenty-first century; but few realize that this practice stretches back to the middle of the seventeenth century, and that actual lifelike machines, which peopled the landscape of late Medieval and Early Modern Europe, shaped this philosophical tradition from its inception. By the early 1630s, when René Des- cartes argued that animals and humans, apart from their capacity to reason, were automata, European towns and villages were positively humming with mechanical vitality, and mechanical images of living creatures had been ubiquitous for several centuries. Descartes and other seventeenth-century mechanists were therefore able to invoke a plethora of animal- and human-like machines. These machines fell into two main categories: the great many devices to be found in churches and cathedrals, and the automatic hydraulic amusements on the grounds of palaces and wealthy estates. Neither category of contraptions signified, in the first instance, what machine metaphors for living creatures later came to signify: passivity, rigidity, regularity, constraint, rote behavior, soullessness. Rather, the machines that informed the emergence of the Early Modern notion of the human-machine held a strikingly unfamiliar array of cultural and philosophical implications, notably the ten- dencies to act unexpectedly, playfully, willfully, surprisingly, and responsively. Moreover, neither the idea nor the ubiquitous images of human-machinery ran counter to Christian practice or doctrine. Quite the contrary: not only did automata appear first and most commonly in churches and cathedrals, the idea as well as the technology of human-machinery was indigenously Catholic.

  • Tavernier, a Filmmaker in His Generation
    1 Lynn A. Higgins Dartmouth College Tavernier, A Filmmaker in his Generation Acclaimed by many as the leading French cinéaste of his generation, Bertrand Tavernier has made twenty feature films since 1973. Along with others such as Doillon, Eustache, and Téchiné, Tavernier established his reputation in the 1970s. An heir of the Nouvelle Vague, he is also an admirer and astute analyst of the French “Tradition de Qualité” that preceded it. He is younger than Godard and Truffaut, but older than Besson, Beineix and the “cinéma du look” as well as than Kurys and Akerman and the multitude of femmes cinéastes who emerged in the 1980s and 1990s. Although most critics assume (either approvingly or not) that he has “returned” to a pre-New Wave conception of filmmaking, I do not believe this to be the case. Tavernier belongs to a no-man’s land (and even more a no-woman’s land) between strong generations of filmmakers. It is not surprising that in his historical films, he is drawn to periods of aftermath and transition, moments characterized by the heady possibility of creating new worlds, but also by a dark cloud of existential doubt. Tavernier is also an outspoken public figure: his leadership has been felt in his native Lyon, where he helped create the Institut Lumière, and in Paris, where—in person and through his television documentaries— his voice can can be heard in debates over cultural issues as in the 1999 “affaire de la critique,” and social questions such as drugs and immigration. He was even interviewed by Le Monde about the United States’ impending invasion of Iraq.
