Op de bibliografische beschrijving van elk tijdschrift, met vermelding van redactie, uitgever, jaargang, afleveringen en omvang, volgt een analyse van de inhoud met als indeling: I. Poëzie II. Proza III. Toneel IV. Kritische bijdragen V. Illustratie Wanneer een gedicht geen titel heeft, wordt het eerste vers als titel beschouwd en als eerste vers niet meer herhaald. De kritische bijdragen krijgen een bondige toelichting telkens als de titel en/of de inhoud dit vergen om aldus een maximum aan informatie te verschaffen. Wanneer in de annotatie naar een andere bijdrage verwezen wordt, is er steeds naar gestreefd een nauwkeurige bibliografische verwijzing te geven, ook als ze als dusdanig in het artikel zelf niet voorkomt. De medewerkers zijn opgenomen in één algemeen auteursregister, dat gevolgd wordt door een lijst van de opgehelderde pseudoniemen. Er is tevens een lijst aangelegd van de vertaalde auteurs, omdat in de bibliografie een vertaling onder de naam van de vertaler is opgenomen, daar we via de bibliografie gegevens verstrekken over de activiteit van Nederlandstalige schrijvers.

  • Russian, Jewish Or Human? Jewish Mystical Thought in the Poetry of Bulat Shalvovich Okudzhava
    RUSSIAN, JEWISH OR HUMAN? JEWISH MYSTICAL THOUGHT IN THE POETRY OF BULAT SHALVOVICH OKUDZHAVA Katarzyna anna KornacKa-Sareło1 (Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznań) Keywords: Bulat Shalvovich Okudzhava, poetry, imagology, Jewish mysticism, Jewish philosophy of dialogue Słowa kluczowe: Bułat Okudżawa, poezja, imagologia, mistycyzm żydowski, żydowska filozofia dialogu Abstract: Katarzyna Anna Kornacka-Sareło, RUSSIAN, JEWISH OR HUMAN? JEWISH MYSTI- CAL THOUGHT IN THE POETRY OF BULAT SHALVOVICH OKUDZHAVA. “PORÓWNA- NIA” 2 (21), 2017, P. 197–214. ISSN 1733-165X. While looking at the literary output of Bulat Shal- vovich Okudzhava from the perspective of imagology, one can see that the image of “the Other” in the poems of the Russian bard was created, paradoxically, just by this “Other”, and it was not constructed by the images (imagines) intrinsically present in the consciousness of the ethnocentric “Self” or “The Same”. In other words, in the case of Okudzhava’s poetry, the image of “the Other” stands on the basis of some ideas of Jewish mystics and the ones of Jewish philosophers of dia- logue (Martin Buber, Franz Rosenzweig and Emmanuel Lévinas). Therefore, the aim of this article was to present the motifs stemming from Jewish mysticism in the poems-songs by Okudzhava which, as it seems, influenced theological, anthropological and ethical views of the bard. The distinctive feature of Okudzhava’s philosophical approach is perceiving every person, regardless of their ethnic or cultural origin, as a being responsible for themselves in the process of constitut- ing themselves in their humanity. The same person is also responsible for other people, for the world of nature, and even for an impersonal and non-anthropomorphic godhead who does not intervene in human affairs.

Legacies and Innovations The Kazakhstan Initiative at GW Gratefully funded by the Kazakhstan Embassy in Washington D.C. On November 6, 2013, the Central Asia Program at IERES launched its Kazakhstan Initiative with a one-day event on "Kazakh Culture in the 20th and 21st centuries. Legacies and Innovations.” The conference, opened by the Ambassador of Kazakh- stan to the United States, H.E. Kairat Umarov, featured the most prominent repre- sentative of Soviet and contemporary Kazakh culture, Olzhas Suleymenov, cur- rently permanent representative of Kazakhstan to UNESCO. This conference is part of the IERES/CAP goal of relinking knowledge on Eurasian societies with the study of their cultures. IERES’s Central Asia Program hopes to contribute to the study of the cultures of Eurasia as living dynamic entities, functioning in interaction with politics and the economy, and reflecting contemporary social changes in the region. The opinions expressed here are those of the author only and do not represent the Cen- tral Asia Program.

I analyze different visual and narrative strategies developed by the directors of youth cinema during the Brezhnev period as mechanisms for circumventing ideological control over cultural production.

  • A Writer's Calendar
    A WRITER’S CALENDAR Compiled by J. L. Herrera for my mother and with special thanks to Rose Brown, Peter Jones, Eve Masterman, Yvonne Stadler, Marie-France Sagot, Jo Cauffman, Tom Errey and Gianni Ferrara INTRODUCTION I began the original calendar simply as a present for my mother, thinking it would be an easy matter to fill up 365 spaces. Instead it turned into an ongoing habit. Every time I did some tidying up out would flutter more grubby little notes to myself, written on the backs of envelopes, bank withdrawal forms, anything, and containing yet more names and dates. It seemed, then, a small step from filling in blank squares to letting myself run wild with the myriad little interesting snippets picked up in my hunting and adding the occasional opinion or memory. The beginning and the end were obvious enough. The trouble was the middle; the book was like a concertina — infinitely expandable. And I found, so much fun had the exercise become, that I was reluctant to say to myself, no more. Understandably, I’ve been dependent on other people’s memories and record- keeping and have learnt that even the weightiest of tomes do not always agree on such basic ‘facts’ as people’s birthdays. So my apologies for the discrepancies which may have crept in. In the meantime — Many Happy Returns! Jennie Herrera 1995 2 A Writer’s Calendar January 1st: Ouida J. D. Salinger Maria Edgeworth E. M.

    A whole new world: Global revolution and Australian social movements in the long Sixties Jon Piccini BA Honours (1st Class) A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at The University of Queensland in 2013 School of History, Philosophy, Religion & Classics Abstract This thesis explores Australian social movements during the long Sixties through a transnational prism, identifying how the flow of people and ideas across borders was central to the growth and development of diverse campaigns for political change. By making use of a variety of sources—from archives and government reports to newspapers, interviews and memoirs—it identifies a broadening of the radical imagination within movements seeking rights for Indigenous Australians, the lifting of censorship, women’s liberation, the ending of the war in Vietnam and many others. It locates early global influences, such as the Chinese Revolution and increasing consciousness of anti-racist struggles in South Africa and the American South, and the ways in which ideas from these and other overseas sources became central to the practice of Australian social movements. This was a process aided by activists’ travel. Accordingly, this study analyses the diverse motives and experiences of Australian activists who visited revolutionary hotspots from China and Vietnam to Czechoslovakia, Algeria, France and the United States: to protest, to experience or to bring back lessons. While these overseas exploits, breathlessly recounted in articles, interviews and books, were transformative for some, they also exposed the limits of what a transnational politics could achieve in a local setting. Australia also became a destination for the period’s radical activists, provoking equally divisive responses.

  • Poetry (Theory)
    POETRY (THEORY) Radio Broadcast 23 Sept 18:00 -19:00 STUDY NOTES Poetry analysis is often the basis for teaching literature in the classroom. If you've been to school, you've probably had to study some form of literature, and your teacher has almost certainly demonstrated the analysis of poetry or even asked you to do it. It can seem like a frightening task, but if you've looked at the way poets use language and you make an effort to understand some the things that might have been happening in history at the time the poet was writing, you've already got an edge. How to analyse poems Read the poem more than once. Use a dictionary when you find a word about whose meaning you are unsure. Read the poem slowly. Pay attention to what the poem is saying; do not be distracted by the rhyme and rhythm of the poem. Try reading the poem out loud to get a sense of the way the sounds of the poem affect its meaning. Six Easy Ways To Understand Poetry: Read the poem all the way through. It might be tempting to stop and puzzle over any tricky bits, but by reading the poem all the way through, you should be able to pick up the overall idea the poet is trying to convey. Consider the subject matter - what the poem is literally about - as well as any themes that emerge - these are the ideas that the poet wants you to think about after reading the poem. What is the mood of the poem? Think about how the writer wants you to feel at the end of the poem.
