Eilat #lra-17 #lra-18 #lra-19 http://www.marxists.org/archive/luria/comments/bio.htm A brief overview of Luria's life and work (by M. Cole) Alexander Luria was born in Kazan, an old Russian University town east of Moscow. He entered Kazan University at the age of 16 and obtained his degree in 1921 at the age of 19. While still a student, he established the Kazan Psychoanalytic Association, and planned on a career in psychology. His earliest research sought to establish objective methods for assessing Freudian ideas about abnormalities of thought and the effects of fatigue on mental processes. In 1923 his use of reaction time measures to study thought processes in the context of work settings won him a position at the Institute of Psychology in Moscow where he developed a psychodiagnostic procedure he referred to as the "combined motor method" for diagnosing individual subjects' thought processes. In this method (described in detail in Luria, 1932), subjects are asked to carry out three tasks simultaneously. One hand is to be held steady while the other is used to press a key or squeeze a rubber bulb in response to verbal stimuli presented by the experimenter, to which the subject is asked to respond verbally with the first word to come to mind. Preliminary trials are presented until a steady baseline of coordination is established. At this point, "critical" stimuli which the experimenter believes to be related to specific thoughts in the subject are presented. Evidence for the ability to "read the subject's mind" is the selective disruption of the previously established coordinated system by the critical test stimuli. This method was applied to a variety of naturally occurring and experimentally induced cases, providing a model system for psychodiagnosis that won widespread attention in the west when it was published.The book describing these studies was published in Russian only in 2002, owing to its association with psychoanalytic theorizing which was disapproved of by Soviet authorities. In 1924 Luria met Lev Semionovich Vygotsky, whose influence was decisive in shaping his future career. Together with Vygotsky and Alexei Nikolaivitch Leontiev, Luria sought to establish an approach to psychology that would enable them to "discover the way natural processes such as physical maturation and sensory mechanisms become intertwined with culturally determined processes to produce the psychological functions of adults" (Luria, 1979, p. 43). Vygotsky and his colleagues referred to this new approach variably as "cultural," "historical," and "instrumental" psychology. These three labels all index the centrality of cultural mediation in the constitution of specifically human psychological processes, and the role of the social environment in structuring the processes by which children appropriate the cultural tools of their society in the process of ontogeny. An especially heavy emphasis was placed on the role of language, the "tool of tools" in this process: the acquisition of language was seen as the pivotal moment when phylogeny and cultural history are merged to form specifically human forms of thought, feeling, and action. From the late 1920's until his death, Luria sought to elaborate this synthetic, cultural- historical psychology in different content areas of psychology. In the early 1930's he led two expeditions to Central Asia where he investigated changes in perception, problem solving, and memory associated with historical changes in economic activity and schooling. During this same period he carried out studies of identical and fraternal twins raised in a large residential school to reveal the dynamic relations between phylogenetic and cultural- historical factors in the development of language and thought. In the late 1930's, largely to remove himself from public view owing to the period of purges initiated by Stalin, Luria entered medical school where he specialized in the study of aphasia, retaining his focus on the relation between language and thought in a politically neutral arena. The onset of World War 2 made his specialized knowledge of crucial importance to the Soviet war effort, and the tragic widespread availability of people with various forms of traumatic brain injury provided him with voluminous materials for developing his theories of brain function and methods for the remediation of focal brain lesions. It was during this period that he developed the systematic approach to brain and cognition which has come to be known as the discipline of neuropsychology. Central to his approach was the belief that "to understand the brain foundations for psychological activity, one must be prepared to study both the brain and the system of activity" (1979, p. 173). This insistence on linking brain structure and function to the proximal, culturally organized, environment provides the thread of continuity between the early and later parts of Luria's career. Following the war Luria sought to continue his work in neuropsychology. His plans were interrupted for several years when he was removed from the Institute of Neurosurgery during a period of particularly virulent anti-semitic repression. During this time he pursued his scientific interests through a series of studies of the development of language and thought in mentally retarded children. In the late 1950's Luria was permitted to return to the study of neuropsychology, which he pursued until his death of heart failure in 1977. In the years just prior to his death, he returned to earliest dreams of constructing a unified psychology. He published two case studies, one of a man with an exceptional and idiocyncratic memory (Luria, 1968), the other of a man who suffered a traumatic brain injury (Luria, 1972). These two case studies illustrate his blend of classical, experimental approaches with clinical and remediational approach, a synthesis that stands as a model for late 20th Century cognitive science. #lra-20 http://web.mit.edu/biology/www/biology/named_lectures/luria.shtml The Biology Department is proud to host the yearly Salvador E. Luria Lecture in the Life Sciences, to honor Dr. Luria, the founder of the MIT Center for Cancer Research. Dr. Luria became a professor at MIT in 1959. He won the Nobel Prize for Medicine in 1969, for his research in molecular biology, in which he was a pioneer. He also became the world's leading expert in the genetic structure of viruses. He was appointed Institute Professor, one of the highest honors the MIT faculty confers on its own, in 1970. In 1972 Dr. Luria founded the MIT Center for Cancer Research and was its director for the next thirteen years. Salvador Luria died in Lexington, Massachusetts, on 6th February, 1991. #lra-22 #lra-21 Erna Lorie, Gusta Loria, Rachel (Rachke) Shimon and Erna Lorie Loria, Sara Teller, with daughter Renee Moniek Teller, Szymon Leibek Loria, Chaim Lorie #lra-23 #lra-24 Chaim and Anna Lorie 1920.

Fielder Valone Holocaust and Genocide Studies, Volume 28, Number 1, Spring 2014, pp. 85-108 (Article) 3XEOLVKHGE\2[IRUG8QLYHUVLW\3UHVV For additional information about this article http://muse.jhu.edu/journals/hgs/summary/v028/28.1.valone.html Access provided by Millersville University Library (17 Feb 2015 20:19 GMT) Research Note Rescued from Oblivion: The Leyb Koniuchowsky Papers and the Holocaust in Provincial Lithuania T. Fielder Valone Indiana University Much of our knowledge of the Holocaust in Lithuania is based on experien- ces in or near Vilnius and Kaunas. In the smaller towns, where tens of thou- sands of Jews lived before the war, so few survived that first-hand accounts are rare; all the less do official German sources offer a window onto events, recording little more than overall numbers. The present contribution draws attention to a lesser-known collection of survivor testimonies gathered after the war by Leyb Koniuchowsky, primarily in Germany’s Feldafing dis- placed persons camp. Case studies of ritual humiliation of Jews by their small-town and village neighbors, experiences in a minor camp complex, and the pursuit of vengeance by one survivor who gained temporary employment in the postwar Soviet security services, point toward the place of oral testimony in elucidating events in hard-to-document places. They raise questions about whether events in better-known localities were “typical” or not. “Stories,” wrote Jorge Semprun, “never begin where they seem to have begun.”1 This story begins with an ending, after the Germans surrendered but well before the scope of Hitler’s crimes was fully understood.

Emanuel’s father was Moysha Geshel (Moishe Heschel), a wealthy merchant, and chief contractor to the Polish Count Totleben. (See attached article about Keidan.) Moishe was born in 1835, the only child of Shmerel and Reize. (Emanuel was named after his grandfather.) The family goes back to at least the early 1700’s in Keidan.

  • Creative Industries Mapping in Kaunas County
    ECONOMICS AND MANAGEMENT: 2012. 17 (3) ISSN 2029-9338 (ONLINE) ISSN 1822-6515 (CD-ROM) CREATIVE INDUSTRIES MAPPING IN KAUNAS COUNTY Ugne Daubaraite1, Grazina Startiene2 1Kaunas University of Technology, Lithuania, [email protected] 2Kaunas University of Technology, Lithuania, [email protected] http://dx.doi.org/10.5755/j01.em.17.3.2140 Abstract Creative industries is of increasing importance in the global economy mainly due to the fact that creativity and its employment is accessible to any given country and provides it with a competitive advantage internationally. Creativity is recognized as a key strategic asset driving economic growth as well as determining successful integration into a rapidly changing global economy. Creative industries mapping provides the insight to which regions, counties or counties have the biggest potential and help to determine the factors of creative industries-friendly places. Creative industries mapping is still in the early stage in Lithuania. Since Kaunas region is one of the largest in the country rich in natural and human resources, it generates a fair share of Lithuanian annual GDP. Basing on this, Kaunas region is likely to be one of the leading regions in the development of creative industries, providing people with new employment possibilities, generating added value and attracting domestic and foreign investments. Keywords: creative industries, creative industries mapping, regional development. JEL Classification: R12, Z10, Z11. Introduction Creativity, more than labour and capital, or even traditional technologies, is deeply embedded in every country’s cultural context. Excellence in artistic expression, abundance of talent, and openness to new influences and experimentation are not the privilege of rich countries.
