The article examines the features of memoir narration in the memoirs of Boris Egorov, distinguished by both a special interest in personal history, inscribed in the general historical course, and the need to return again in memory to previously visited significant places. A passionate love of memories is combined in the author’s biography, marked by an unquenchable thirst for wandering, with a fondness for travel. Memories become a journey through the places of personal memory and appear as a journey into the depths of personal history. As a historian of Russian culture, one who professionally deals with the past and interprets the events of the image/svg+xml past, the author of the memoirs clearly understands that these events will certainly leave a mark, if not in documents, then in the human soul, so that the past continues to live in the present and to influence it. Memories of Boris Egorov are a way not only of reproducing, but also transforming pictures of the past, highlighted in the memory of the memoirist: the uniqueness of personality and the uniqueness of private biography allow us to see and comprehend everything that happened in the life of society and individuals in a new way.

Full textAbstract:
Political memoirs form an accessible primary source for the political scientist, but there is considerable disagreement about their usefulness and reliability. Memoirs can be classified firstly according to whether their chief focus is the ethos, the doctrines, or the policy making of political parties, and secondly according to the principal means employed in their compilation - such as diaries, private and official papers, or personal reminiscences. Examples of these different types of memoir written by members of the Thatcher Government are analysed to demonstrate their uses and limitations.

Full textAbstract:
The work examines the features and historical and cultural significance of memoir prose, theoreti-cal and methodological approaches to the study of the genre. Based on the work of A. Urusova, an attempt was made to identify the aesthetic beginning of the memoirs in the totality of their dis-tinctive features: personal experience (through the prism of the author’s individual perception), factuality, retrospectiveness, authenticity, as well as a comprehensive and new look at the work of the Karachay writer, characterized by a non-standard set axiological models of self-expression, a tendency towards clairism, modality. Because of the study of the text of A. Urusova’s book “Yomur tanyshlany sagynyu” (“Memories of contemporaries”, 1975), which reflected the histori-cal fate of the Karachay people through the prism of the activities of passionaries, the concept of historical and typological study of the memoir genre was substantiated, the features of the style and language of memoirs, principles images, the role and place of memoirs in the cultural life of the people and era are revealed. The theoretical significance of the work is in deepening ideas about various literary phenomena, in particular the genre of non-fiction prose - memoirs. Research methods: cultural-historical, descriptive-functional, biographical, historical-typological.

Full textAbstract:
The article about evaluating the importance of the memoires as a source of the history of the Russian Orthodox Church in 1917–1921. Under the conditions of the Civil War, those sources that appear to be more “objective” than those of personal origin lose some of their significance. The normative documents were often a “declaration of intent” and the actual policies were often very different from what was proclaimed in the laws. The old system of office work was destroyed together with the old state apparatus, the new one was just beginning to be created, which could not but affect the quality of information reflected in official documents. In such circumstances, the information contained in sources of personal origin acquires special meaning. They give us the opportunity to see the events through the eyes of their immediate participants and witnesses, to understand their motives and feelings. Of interest are both the memoirs of archpriests, priests and laymen, and the memoirs of those who implemented anti-religious policy. The comparative analysis of various narratives in sources of personal origin and comparison of such memories with the data of archival documents allows specifying important details of the history of the Russian Orthodox Church at the beginning of the 20th century. The memoirs are an important source on the history of the repressions against believers; they also provide valuable information about the political stance of the Russian Orthodox Church.

Memoirs of youth]. This primary source is of a high pedagogical value. I analyze various threads of this memoir from an educational angle. The memoir allows to see how Pigoń’s values were built by his parents during his childhood and then further developed by him in his adult life in academia. I show the role of those values in creating his own character and personality. Pigoń’s memoir causes readers to rethink their own values, it inspires efforts at personal improvement, and it has a deep pedagogical message.

Full textAbstract:
This article delves into the abundant war memoir literature originating from the countries of former Yugoslavia, which has been driven by various wars and the inclination of soldiers, officers, and generals to extol their wartime accomplishments. The prevalence of this literature is especially noteworthy in Bosnia and Herzegovina, with the most represented memoirs hailing from World War II, followed closely by those concerning the Yugoslav Wars. These memoirs offer diverse perspectives, reflecting the authors’ personal experiences and thoughts during war. While these memoirs do provide rich insights, a critical approach is essential given the inherently political nature of these works. As a valuable source for understanding military history, memoirs play a crucial role in shaping the comprehension of the past. The article underscores that, despite potential biases, the memoir literature presents opportunities for further research and for expanding knowledge about the war in Sarajevo, particularly when complemented by other military sources and archives.

Full textAbstract:
The article studies the private documents of jurors of the Russian Empire such as diaries and memoirs and analyses them as a complex of historical sources containing unique information about the course of the trial and the work of the jury. The pool of documents included two diaries and eight memoirs. The author evaluated the authorship, purpose, place of creation of these documents as well as their content and cognitive value. It is noted that the memoirs under the study share the features which are characteristic of most memoirs of the second half of the 19th — early 20th centuries: they were originally aimed at publication and intended primarily for contemporaries; the time gap between the original events and the “memories” of them was relatively short (from several months to several years). The selected documents are primarily the ones belonging to jurors who participated in the metropolitan district courts trials. This fact narrows our understanding of the work of jury in the Russian Empire in the 19th century down to metropolitan provinces.

Full textAbstract:
The history of wars and military conflicts belongs to the current topics of scientific research in modern historiography. An important place in their study belongs to historical sources, in particular memoirs. This article is devoted to the study of the formation and combat path of the Ukrainian self-defence legion based on the memoirs of its members. It is noted that Ukrainian military memoirs of the Second World War are characterized by the political and ideological views of the authors, in addition to the typical separation of memories according to the social characteristics of the memoirist. It has been established that the concept of Ukrainian military memoirs is quite conditional. According to the authors, the main feature of assigning memories to this type is the presence of the idea of struggle for Ukrainian statehood. The article presents a short historical tour of the Ukrainian self-defence legion, the main focus is on highlighting its combat path based on the memories of the participants. It was noted that the memoirs of the legion members were published abroad, primarily in the countries of North America, given the forced emigration of the authors. The authors elaborated and included in the research the memoirs of O. Horodyskyi, M. Karkots-Vovk and K. Hirniak, published at different times in the second half of the 20th century. It has been established that the authors of memoirs mainly describe events that they directly witnessed. Each of the authors provides a description of the events and draws conclusions not only by observing certain processes, but also expresses his attitude and gives an assessment of the events. At the same time, the value of memoirs has been noted as historical sources containing information that is almost never found in official documents. Among it, first of all, it is worth highlighting everyday aspects, the morale of the military, relations with the command, etc. It has been established that Ukrainian military memoirs dedicated to the Ukrainian self-defence legion not only describe the history of this military formation, but also highlight broader issues of the Second World War. The article notes the need to adhere to a critical analysis of memories, because they contain a significant influence of the authors’ personal experience, and, accordingly, subjective assessments of events and phenomena.

Full textAbstract:
Four published memoirs refute culturally dominant ideas about severe mental illness as personal weakness, as something shameful, and as a condition that necessarily leads to isolation and disenfranchisement. The narrative structure and content of the memoirs reveal that people’s experience differs from the hegemonic discourse: while narrating symptoms, diagnosis, treatment, and acceptance of the illness, all four authors present themselves as accomplished, self-possessed, and socially integrated. Their memoirs, and the act of narrating their experiences with mental illness, challenge the established cultural discourse of mental illness as limitation. The narratives help change that discourse and our social attitudes toward people with mental illness.

Full textAbstract:
The memoirs of Salomea Regina Pilsztyn née Rusiecka can be called a Baroque novel and, at the same time, is a remarkable monument of Belarusian and Polish literature. The work is a vivid manifestation of the self-identification of the author, who not only tries to see her life path in the context of her contemporary era but also records the memories of her life, recording the movements and experiences of her own soul. Here, the memoir genre gradually begins to dissolve in the narrative strategies of a prose work. War should be considered in memoirs as an artistic image and a phenomenon of everyday life. The discourse and historiosophy of the image of war as a history of everyday life in the memoirs of Salomea Rusiecka become the heart of his narrative strategies. War is one of the most important artistic concepts of this work. The poetics of the image of war in the text is based on a realistic presentation of events and details. War, captivity and death, blood, and suffering in the memoirs of Rusietska de Pilschtyn appear as indispensable and integral details of the history of everyday life of people and peoples of the Baroque era. The author of the memoirs created a memorable image of the war of the Baroque period giving remarkable evidence of the birth of her objectification: the narrator presents herself as a direct participant in the war events – both as a witness of particular historical processes and as involved in the space of war through her personal reflection.

"Perspectives of the River Plate around the time of Rosas : an analysis based upon the personal correspondence, private memoirs and published accounts of British settlers, as well as works by creole authors." Thesis, University of St Andrews, 1996. http://hdl.handle.net/10023/992.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis draws inspiration from the emergence of cultural studies as an academic pursuit, in addition to the current renewal of interest in the relationship between literary works and their socio-cultural milieux, to bring together an assortment of textual traces pertaining to the River Plate around the era of Juan Manuel de Rosas, governor of Buenos Aires and de facto dictator of Argentina for most of the period 1829-1852. The main texts analysed range from private documents relating to two Scottish settler families, through accounts published by British citizens with first-hand knowledge of the region (Un inglés, Cinco años en Buenos Aires and Beaumont, Travels in Buenos Ayres and the Adjacent Provinces), to three influential pieces of early Argentinian literature (Echeverria's El matadero, Mármol's Amalia and Sarmiento's Facundo). One justification of this apparently eclectic approach lies in the prominence accorded to the incomer in the thought of liberal Platine intellectuals, a concern evinced in their literary production. The methodology involves examining the representation of certain fundamental topics across this range of written artefacts, observing frequent points of thematic convergence amongst the various texts. In this fashion, I construct an image of the River Plate region around the Rosas period, whilst also appraising the degree to which early British settlers matched the idealized notion of the immigrant present in liberal creole writings. The study is divided into four main chapters, supplemented by an introduction, conclusion and appendix. The first chapter summarizes the historical context of the young Platine republics; the second deals with the themes of society, community and family, the third focuses upon religion; the fourth considers perspectives of politics, dictatorship and civil war. The appendix consists of an unpublished settler autobiography, a remarkable account of the tribulations faced on a daily basis in the developing Argentina.

Full textAbstract:
Cette thèse vise à analyser un phénomène mental largement négligé dans les débats philosophiques actuels: les souvenirs personnels. Bien que l'analyse soit philosophique, l'approche méthodologique est interdisciplinaire afin d'intégrer des recherches empiriques en sciences cognitives. La première partie présente un cadre général pour mieux comprendre ce que sont les souvenirs personnels, la façon dont nous accédons à notre passé personnel et à quoi nous accédons de notre passé personnel. Le chapitre 1 présente les théories traditionnelles de la mémoire: le réalisme direct et le représentationalisme dans leurs différentes versions, ainsi que quelques objections. Je défends ici une forme particulière de représentationalisme qui repose sur la distinction entre le contenu, l'objet intentionnel et l'objet ontologique d'un souvenir. Le chapitre 2 explore les contenus possibles de nos souvenirs personnels, qui s'avèrent hétérogènes, même incarnés et externes, alors que le chapitre 3 analyse les possibles objets intentionnels, avec un intérêt particulier pour les événements passés. La deuxième partie de la thèse explore un aspect de nos souvenirs personnels qui a été omis dans la première partie: les sens dans lesquels notre passé personnel est appréhendé en tant que personnel. Le chapitre 4 examine la façon dont le «soi» intervient dans la construction de nos souvenirs personnels et détermine leur contenu. Les chapitres 5 et 6 se concentrent sur l'analyse de ce qui semble être l'aspect le plus subjectif de nos souvenirs, c'est-à-dire, les émotions et les sentiments en rapport avec nos expériences passées. Dans ces deux derniers chapitres, j'analyse les différentes interactions qui peuvent avoir lieu entre les souvenirs et les émotions et défends l'idée qu'il y a des souvenirs avec un aspect émotionnel qui ne peut être réduit ni à un souvenir propositionnel ni à une émotion présenteThis thesis is intended to analyse a mental phenomenon widely neglected in current philosophical discussions: personal memories. Although the analysis is philosophical, the methodological approach is interdisciplinary in order to integrate empirical research done in cognitive science. The first part presents a general framework to better understand what personal memories are, how we access our personal past and what we access about our personal past. Chapter 1 introduces traditional theories of memory: direct realism and representationalism in their differen versions, as well as some objections. I defend here a particular form of representationalism that is based on the distinction between content, intentional object and ontological object. Chapter 2 explores the possible contents of our personal memories, which prove to be heterogenous, even embodied and external, whereas chapter 3 analyses their possible intentional objects, with a special focus on past events. The second part of the thesis explores an aspect of our personal memories that was omitted in the first part: the senses in which our personal past is apprehended as personal. Chapter 4 examines the way in which the "self" intervenes in the construction of our personal memories anc determines their content. Chapters 5 and 6 focus on the analysis of what seems to be the most subjective aspect of our memories, that is, the emotions and feelings of our past experiences. In these last two chapters, I analyse the different interactions that can take place between memories and emotions and defend the idea that there can be memories with an emotional aspect that is not reducible neither to a propositional memory nor an occurrent and present emotion

Memories of the past are a powerful part of human existence. The pastremembered affects who we are as a person as well as the decisions we make in our lives. As we grow older and time passes these memories begin to fade. Specific details about events in the past become fuzzy or are gone all together. We may still remember what occurred and the emotions felt as it happened but exact records of the events begin to be lost. Is it possible to visually represent personal memories and the coinciding emotions in a way that can convey the said emotions to a viewer? How much of the human experience is common? Can a personal experience and emotion be depicted in a way that is universal and shared by all?Department of Art

Full textAbstract:
Where We Belong is more than a memoir. It is a love story about the untimely death of the oldest of five daughters born to a prominent New Haven, Connecticut family. It is also a tale of hubris, rage and frustration, a Greek tragedy about a man's life as re-examined through the lens of the two weeks his wife spent dying, a tale in which chronic illness and good intentions ensure the death of a loving wife, artist and mother. The journey on which her husband takes the reader explores a health care system oblivious to her plight, her family's unwitting complicity and a 12-step mythology that unfolds while he, her six weeping children and her aging mother helplessly look on. The author endures an agony that dwarfs incentives to lie, learning that people lie out of fear, and genuine grief supplants fear with the stark reality of what we fear most: death. Where We Belong gives voice to the internal dialogue the author encounters when reexamining not just memories, but the accoutrements of memory, as well. It is a voice that addresses his own grandiosity, sentimentalism and self-pity in the face of his wife's death, in addition to those details, circumstances and impressions that speak to the arrogance he brought to the task of being all he thought she and her six children needed him to be. He concludes the task was well beyond him, a realization evoked by the gut wrenching decision to literally "pull the plug" on this heartbreaking tale of reconstituted hope and great promise reduced to rubble by chronic illness, alcoholism, drug addiction and death. Born is the lesson that when we grieve, we are free to be ourselves. When we are free to be ourselves, we are free to love again.

The prevalence and affordability of personal and environmental recording apparatuses are leading to increased documentation of our daily lives. This trend is bound to continue and it follows that academic, industry, and government groups are showing an increased interest in such endeavors for various purposes. In the present case, I assert that such documentation can be used to help remedy common memory problems. Assuming a long-term personal archive exists, when confronted with a memory problem, one faces a new challenge, that of finding relevant memory triggers. This dissertation examines the use of information-retrieval technologies on long-term archives of personal experiences towards remedying certain types of long-term forgetting. The approach focuses on capturing audio for the content. Research on Spoken Document Retrieval examines the pitfalls of information-retrieval techniques on error-prone speech- recognizer-generated transcripts and these challenges carry over to the present task. However, "memory retrieval" can benefit from the person's familiarity of the recorded data and the context in which it was recorded to help guide their effort. To study this, I constructed memory-retrieval tools designed to leverage a person's familiarity of their past to optimize their search task. To evaluate the utility of these towards solving long-term memory problems, I (1) recorded public events and evaluated witnesses' memory-retrieval approaches using these tools; and (2) conducted a longer- term memory-retrieval study based on recordings of several years of my personal and research-related conversations. Subjects succeeded with memory-retrieval tasks in both studies, typically finding answers within minutes.
(cont.) This is far less time than the alternate of re-listening to hours of recordings. Subjects' memories of the past events, in particular their ability to narrow the window of time in which past events occurred, improved their ability to find answers. In addition to results from the memory-retrieval studies, I present a technique called "speed listening." By using a transcript (even one with many errors), it allows people to reduce listening time while maintaining comprehension. Finally, I report on my experiences recording events in my life over 2.5 years.

Full textAbstract:
The discussion in this report considers the framework to my research, my developing methodology and an evaluating synopsis of my professional practice as an artist during my doctorate period. My painting research is approached in the following ways: First is the use of line, as an expressive and visual medium, that is distinct in my work. When I come to the need for pictorial representation, line is perhaps the visual element with the most extensive use in my practice. Second is the development of mapping, viewed as a grid of drawn lines and the use of cartographical language in the drawing practice. Third is the deconstruction of the map towards an imaginary mapped place. Fourth is the concept of the thread in relation to my early memories as child of a seamstress. Thread visually represented by line is influential in my recent art practice. Fifth is doodling and its role into my painting practice. The sixth element is the composition of images that create visual juxtapositions. This is a painting practice that most of the time is an issue of my artistic research. Finally there is my collaboration with other artists and in particular with Group Capsule, my professional practice and the experience I have received participating in a number of exhibitions, art projects, residencies and in teaching. These issues have been at the core of my debate over the past five years and they have played a crucial role in my visual development. It is these issues that I have explored in the context of autobiographical as well as socio cultural references. My current research has been to exploring the processes that give the artist's mark it's meaning in particular the development of the visual reading of cartography. My recent research is a logical extension of ten years interest in image making, particularly exploring the use of line as a way of expression. The changes in my current body of work are developments of my earlier practice. During my practice as a painter deconstruction has been one of the crucial issues. I have a great commitment to drawing and throughout the last ten years the images I have created come from a deconstruction of the outline of form (human figure, a complex of geometric shapes, the organic form of a map, the satellite picture of a city etc). (illustration 30) This is an ongoing process of reworking and redrawing the silhouette of the initial stimulus. I believe that such deconstruction requires an understanding of the original constructed form. Hence drawing has always been vital to and an integral part of my painting practice. I am sometimes asked, "What is your objective? " and this I cannot truthfully answer. I work "from" something rather than "towards" something. It is a process of discovery and I will not impose a convenient dogma, however attractive.

Mon projet s’articule autour d’une enquête sur les caractéristiques originales de l’écriture autobiographique de Niccolò Tommaseo. Je me suis concentré sur l’étude approfondie du texte qu'il est convenu d'appeler le Diario Intimo dans le but de préparer également une nouvelle édition de ce journal, actuellement disponible seulement dans une édition, qui n’est pas totalement fiable sur le plan philologique, de Raffaele Ciampini, publiée au milieu du siècle dernier, et dont les limites ont déjà été mises en évidence par d’autres études. Non seulement ce travail permettra d’avoir à disposition une édition mise à jour et complète de cette œuvre “privée” également utile en termes de comparaison avec d’autres écritures autobiographiques tommaseiennes en prose et en vers, mais il aidera à tracer de manière plus précise le profil de l’un des auteurs les plus significatifs de la littérature italienne du dix-neuvième siècleRaffaele Ciampini published, in 1938, the first edition of the Diario intimo, the private memories that Niccolò Tommaseo compiled almost daily during his whole life since 1824. In this doctoral thesis we wanted to offer a new edition of those memories, enriching the comment and amending the transcription mistakes made by Ciampini. The thesis is supplemented by a copious introduction, in which we offer a synthesis of the critic literature about the autobiographical genre, its origins, and specific peculiarities of the tommasean work, mostly as concerns the other two memorial pieces of the dalmatian, Memorie poetiche and Memorie politiche

Full textAbstract:
Against a Divided Land is a tale of escape from the poverty of the Yuma Indian reservation, the flight of a young girl and her family into modern American in the 1970's. The stories in the collection emerge via the narrator: a forty-year-old woman exploring landscape and memory. Her recollections as a mother and international traveler, juxtaposed alongside her childhood on the reservation, reveal the unique concerns of Native Americans in the era of government relocation and displacement. The stories in this collection paint a picture of United States subculture rarely seen. The accounts link the narrator to the past in surprising ways as they push forth with a modern voice, imagining a brighter future: a future filled with both loss and beauty. From Africa to the Southwest, the characters in these essays seek relationships across typical boundaries.

Доклад посвящен источникам личного происхождения, содержащим сведения о строительстве, ремонтах и эксплуатации Владивостокской крепости в начале XX в. В качестве примера рассказано о воспоминаниях генерал-лейтенанта барона А. П. Будберга и военного инженера П. П. Унтербергера. Привлечение источников личного происхождения (дневников, воспоминаний, писем, семейных фотоархивов и других) для исследования русских крепостей как минимум второй половины XIX - начала ХХ века представляется настоятельно необходимым. Их поиск и работа по обработке и публикации должны продолжаться практически непрерывно. В противном случае так и многие белые пятна истории крепостей так и останутся незаполненными. The report is devoted to sources of personal origin containing information about the construction, repairs and operation of the Vladivostok fortress at the beginning of the 20th century. As an example, the memoirs of Lieutenant-General Baron A. P. Budberg and military engineer P. P. Unterberger. The involvement of sources of personal origin (diaries, memoirs, letters, family photo archives, and others) for the study of Russian fortresses from at least the second half of the 19th - early 20th centuries seems to be imperative. Their search and work on processing and publication should continue almost continuously. Otherwise, many blank spots in the history of fortresses will remain unfilled.

Full textAbstract:
The memoirs of a famous Russian historian and archaeologist, holder of an Advanced Doctorate in History, Gerald Nikolaevich Matyushin (1927–2000), the author of 27 monographs and over 400 articles on the archaeology of the Stone Age and the history of the Southern Urals, introduce the reader to an unfamiliar genre of the scholar’s work: his autobiographical essays entitled ‘An Arctic Cruise’. The essays include little-known facts of G. N. Matyushin’s biography, of his childhood and youth, of his training at the Maritime school on the Solovetsky Islands, of his service in the Northern Fleet during World War II and in early post-war years, and of the fate of his friends, Alexander Kovalev, Sergey Igoshin, Anatolii Mochalkin and Petr Mitin. Selected excerpts from these memoirs were published in a collection of the Russian Archaeological Society series Antiquities, № 2 (Matyushin G. N. Madakha // Archaeologists about the War: Memoirs of World War II Veterans / The National Academy of Sciences, Russian Archaeological Society, Ed. G.N. Matyushin, B.G. Peters, Moscow: 1991. Part. 2, pp. 15–35). Later G. N. Matyushin prepared for publication a new, more complete version of his essays for the collection ‘Archaeologists about the War’ in the series ‘Antiquities’ No. 17 (Archaeologists about the War: Memoirs of World War II Veterans / The National Academy of Sciences, Russian Archaeological Society, 1996, Part 3, pp. 3–54). Later G. N. Matyushin prepared for publication a new, more complete version of his essays for the collection ‘Archaeologists about the War’ in the series ‘Antiquities’ No. 17 (Archaeologists about the War: Memoirs of World War II Veterans / The National Academy of Sciences, Russian Archaeological Society, 1996, Part 3). The memoirs published below are the original version of these essays, written shortly after visiting the Solovetsky Islands in 1985; they are included in the family history, compiled by G. N. Matyushin on the basis of family archives, newspaper publications, certifi cates, award lists and other documents (preserved in the personal archive of I. G. Matyushina). The events described by the author preceded his work on the text of his memoirs by several decades, so occasional details might not be refl ected with complete accuracy.

Full textAbstract:
This paper explores the shift from a “definitive” to a “descriptive” approach in the context of the coloured identity narrative. It reflects on the challenges of critiquing and redefining coloured culture and identity while still using language that reinforces existing tropes. The author argues for a move towards the descriptive, which allows for a decolonial perspective and selfarticulation. The text discusses the use of autoethnography and the creation of a production called (Un)becoming, where personal narratives were explored. It also suggests that published memoirs, such as Sorry, Not Sorry, Because I Couldn’t Kill You, and Ougat, contribute to disrupting normative cultural constraints and offer a decolonizing perspective.

Full textAbstract:
The article examines the historical and literary significance of the memoirs of a Baltic German about Latgale. The space between Ilukste and Daugavpils has been little studied. The data about individual estates and their owners is fragmentary. The study is a separate part of a large regional and literary study dedicated to the Baltic Germans living in the territory of Latgale and in Daugavpils region. The aims of the study are to establish a connection between the text of the book and geographical and personal realities, as well as to reveal the relationship of the Baltic Germans with the population of Latgale from a perspective of self-reflection. Understanding “myself” in the eyes of others and “others” in one’s personal perception is getting more relevant as studying these interactions on the basis of literary texts opens for understanding of the current processes in modern society. The specific tasks are to promote a national issue on the material of the given text as well as to determine a link between the memoir text and the jokes of the Baltic Germans (Pratchen), the features of which have been defined in the authorized studies. The text is understood as an object of scientific cognition in which there are no random linguistic or substantive units. The methodology of research is based on the interpretation of a literary text as well as the synthesis of statistical analysis, immanent critique and content analysis. In the course of the study, it was possible to establish a structural and substantive link between individual episodes of the book with the Baltics jokes (Pratchen). For the peoples who inhabited Latgale (southeastern part of Latvia) in the 18th and 19th centuries, the national issue was not decisive, especially among rural people. Difference in perception of oneself and “myself” in the eyes of others was determined by different social status: Germans are the landowners, the rest are servants and badgers. The mental character of the Baltic Germans was shaped, first and foremost, by the family upbringing and education level, commonly university. The key values were love for their native land, pride for their ancestors, honor and service to the state, and faithfulness to the word. On the basis of the life realia described in the book, it is possible to reconstruct the way of life of the people who disappeared from the map of modern Latgale. The research is funded by the Latvian Council of Science, project “The Baltic Germans of Latgale in the context of socio-ethnic relations from the 17th till the beginning of the 20th century” project No. lzp-2020/2-0136.

Full textAbstract:
The article examines the peculiarities of the use of the new pronoun hen in the three continental Scandinavian languages. Discussions about gender-neutral pronouns originated in the 1960s, when the debates about gender equality and women’s rights were under way in Scandinavia. Different variants of the new gender-neutral pronoun were proposed. Owing to its phonetic resemblance to the original Scandinavian pronouns, the form hen was in favour over other options, but in those years it did not gain wide currency. In the 21st century, owing to the development of gender concepts and a different view on gender identity, the attitude to hen has changed. In 2015, the pronoun hen was incorporated in the 14th edition of the Swedish Academy Dictionary (SAOL), in 2021 it was recorded in the explanatory dictionary of the Swedish language released by the Swedish Academy (Svensk Ordbok), but though already codified, it is far from being accepted by everybody in the Swedish society. In Norway, the pronoun hen was entered into the Norwegian language dictionaries in June 2022, but ever since theologians have been engaged in a heated debate about its eventual use in the Bible. In Denmark, the pronoun hen, still uncodified, is mainly used in relation to non-binary persons, yielding in frequency to the pronoun de in the same function.

Full textAbstract:
A recurring challenge in user testing is the need to obtain a record of user interactions that is large enough to reflect the different biases of a single user persona while accounting for temporal and financial constraints. One way to address this need is to use digital twins of user personas to represent the range of decisions that could be made by a persona. This paper presents a potential use of cognitive models of user personas from a single complete record of a persona to test the web-based decision support system, ALFRED the BUTLER. ALFRED the BUTLER is a digital cognitive assistant developed to generate recommended articles for users to review and evaluate relative to a priority information request (PIR).Interaction data for three different user personas for the ALFRED the BUTLER system were created: the Early Terminator, the Disuser, and the Feature Abuser. These three personas were named after the type of interaction they would have with the data and were designed to represent different types of human-automation user interactions as outlined by Parasuraman & Riley (1997). The research team operationalized the definitions of use, misuse, disuse, and abuse to fit the current context. Specifically, the Early Terminator represented misuse by no longer meaningfully interacting with the system once a search criterion was met whereas the Disuser represented disuse by never using a certain feature. The Feature Abuser represented abuse by excessively using a single feature when they should be using other features. Each member of the research team was assigned a user persona, given a briefing related to their persona, and instructed to rate 250 articles as either relevant (thumbs up), irrelevant (thumbs down), or neutral (ignore). Subsequently, a cognitive model of the task was built. Cognitive models rely on mechanisms that capture human cognitive processes such as memory, learning, and biases to make predictions about decisions that humans would be likely to make (Gonzalez & Lebiere, 2005). To construct the cognitive model, we relied on the Instance-Based Learning (IBL) Theory (Gonzalez et al., 2003), a cognitive theory of experience-based decision making. The data for each user’s previous actions were added to the model’s memory to make predictions about the next action the user would be likely to make (thumbs up, thumbs down, or ignore an article). The model was run 100 times for each persona, with the 250 articles presented in the same order as they were judged by the persona. The results indicate an overall model prediction accuracy of the persona’s decisions above 60%. Future work will focus on refining and improving the model's predictive accuracy The authors discuss future applications, one of which is using this type of cognitive modeling to help create synthetic datasets of persona behaviors for evaluation and training of machine learning algorithms.ReferencesGonzalez, C., & Lebiere, C. (2005). Instance-based cognitive models of decision-making.Gonzalez, C., Lerch, J. F., & Lebiere, C. (2003). Instance‐based learning in dynamic decision making.

Full textAbstract:
En el entendido de que el espacio urbano se convierte en lugar, lugar de vivencias, y por
consiguiente, en un lugar que contiene un conjunto de significados, simbólicos y cognoscitivos
en el que se establecen lugares de identidad. De esta forma, el espacio urbano – ente hacedor
de cultura –, se constituye a través de un continuo proceso y reorganización de significados y
una constante construcción de nuevos como parte de las formas de identificación de una
sociedad determinada.
En este espacio de reflexión, se expone una visión puntualizada sobre la estructura socioespacial
de un barrio histórico-tradicional en el corazón de la ciudad de Guadalajara, México,
en el área conocida como San Juan de Dios, con la finalidad de poner en evidencia el continuo
proceso de transformación al que ha estado sujeto, en donde se evidencian las diferencias
sociales y significados que se ha producido y producen actualmente sobre éste. Todo ello
establecido a través de mapas sociales y la contrastación de éstos con las historias de vida,
memorias y narraciones personales obtenidas por parte de sus habitantes, como parte de la
reconstrucción de una historia y un pasado reciente que intentamos descifrar.
A través de estas historias, se logró tener una imagen simplificada de una realidad particular
del barrio, que dan forma a un conjunto de circunstancias o escenarios que reflejan el proceso
urbano y entorno social – expresado en un pequeño fragmento de la ciudad –, como parte de
los diferentes significados que articulan y producen el paisaje y el territorio urbano
contemporáneo. On the understanding that urban space it becomes place, place experience, and consequently,
in a place that contains a set of meanings and cognitive symbolic in establishing identity sites.
Thus, the urban space - being a maker of culture - is constituted through a continuous process
and reorganization of meanings and constantly building new forms part of identification of a
particular society. In this space of reflection, punctuated we provide an overview on socio-spatial structure of a
traditional historical section in the heart of the city of Guadalajara, Mexico, in the area known as
San Juan de Dios, in order to put in evidenced by the continuous process of transformation that
has been subject, where social differences are evident and meanings that has occurred and
currently produce over it. This established through the social mapping and contrasting these
with the life stories, memoirs and personal narratives obtained by its inhabitants, as part of the
reconstruction of a history and the recent past we tried to decipher.
Through these stories, we were able to have a simplified representation of a particular reality of
the neighborhood, that shape a set of circumstances or scenarios that reflect the urban process
and social environment - expressed in a small fragment of the city - as part the different
meanings that articulate and produce landscape and contemporary urban territory.

Full textAbstract:
The subject of the study is the cooperation of S. Efremov with Western Ukrainian periodicals as a page in the history of Ukrainian journalism which covers the relationship of journalists and scientists of Eastern and Western Ukraine at the turn of the XIX-XX centuries. Research methods (biographical, historical, comparative, axiological, statistical, discursive) develop the comprehensive disclosure of the article. As a result of scientific research, the origins of Ukrainocentrism in the personality of S. Efremov were clarified; his person as a public figure, journalist, publisher, literary critic is multifaceted; taking into account the specifics of the memoir genre and with the involvement of the historical context, the turning points in the destiny of the author of memoirs are interpreted, revealing cooperation with Western Ukrainian magazines and newspapers. The publications ‘Zoria’, ‘Narod’, ‘Pravda’, ‘Bukovyna’, ‘Dzvinok’, are secretly got into sub-Russian Ukraine, became for S. Efremov a spiritual basis in understanding the specifics of the national (Ukrainian) mass media, ideas of education in culture of Ukraine at the end of XIX century, its territorial integrity, and state independence. Memoirs of S. Efremov on cooperation with the iconic Galician journals ‘Notes of the Scientific Society after the name Shevchenko’ and ‘Literary-Scientific Bulletin’, testify to an important stage in the formation of the author’s worldview, the expansion of the genre boundaries of his journalism, active development as a literary critic. S. Yefremov collaborated most fruitfully and for a long time with the Literary-Scientific Bulletin, and he was impressed by the democratic position of this publication. The author’s comments reveal a long-running controversy over the publication of a review of the new edition of Kobzar and thematically related discussions around his other literary criticism, in which the talent of the demanding critic was forged. S. Efremov steadfastly defended the main principles of literary criticism: objectivity and freedom of author’s thought. The names of the allies of the Ukrainian idea L. Skochkovskyi, O. Lototskyi, O. Konyskyi, P. Zhytskyi, M. Hrushevskyi in S. Efremov’s memoirs unfold in multifaceted portrait descriptions and function as historical and cultural facts that document the pages of the author’s biography, record his activities in space and time. The results of the study give grounds to characterize S. Efremov as the first professional Ukrainian-speaking journalist.

Full textAbstract:
Aiming at (re)thinking memory politics in contexts of ongoing total violence against non-white bodies, I propose, in this working paper, to engage with Maria Beatriz Nascimento’s multifaceted notion of quilombo. Once understood as alternative regimes of conviviality that entail existential (beyond material) aspects, Nascimento’s notion of quilombo enables critical access to the onto-epistemological basis on which memory politics generally takes place. After primary considerations about violence and the archives, I highlight three main aspects of Nascimento’s notion of quilombo to (re) think memory politics: (1) the introduction of a temporality that displaces underlying analytical assumptions of a linear, progressive and sequential time; (2) the idea of paz quilombola, which allows analytical space for “opacity” in the generation of knowledge; (3) the link between personal and collective intergenerational memory that, for Nascimento, requires the fostering of spaces of body encounters.

Full textAbstract:
This article presents the findings of a small oral history project carried out during the years 2001-2010 in the Eastern Ukrainian Donbass region. We learn from the interviews that loyalties were rather fragile and changed quite frequently during the war. The sharp lines of definition and categorisation which historians have created in dealing with the past do not fit wartime reality. Many people collaborated at one time and participated in Soviet resistance or fought in the Red Army at another. There were no clear lines between collaboration and resistance, but rather moral grey zones. Experiences of the occupation were diverse, and besides, experiences of terror and violence also included cultural and working experiences as well as various personal relationships with the German enemy. Therefore the authors argue for much more integrated research approaches trying to combine the wide range of different wartime experiences.

El neurodiseño y el diseño emocional se aplican en el desarrollo de productos que conecten con la visión y el estilo de vida de los consumidores. Esta tendencia también afecta a los billetes: son necesarios diseños más seguros y fiables que logren representar a los ciudadanos y despertar un sentimiento de orgullo al utilizarlos. El objetivo de este documento es compilar los conceptos y fundamentos clave de la neurociencia, la percepción y el diseño, así como ofrecer una visión general de la neurociencia y de las técnicas de análisis aplicadas al ciclo de vida del billete: el diseño de billetes y de sus elementos de seguridad, la discriminación de reproducciones ilegítimas y la evaluación de defectos de fabricación para la gestión de la calidad. Las técnicas de análisis neurométrico constituyen una herramienta eficaz para cuantificar el impacto de la estimulación sensorial de la percepción del billete y evaluar diferentes procesos cognitivos, como el interés visual, la memoria, las emociones o la atención sostenida en las diferentes zonas de interés del billete, tal y como se describe en los distintos estudios de percepción analizados en este documento. Esta información, junto con el análisis de los diferentes modelos perceptivos de los usuarios (incluidas las personas con problemas de visión), permite desarrollar diseños de billetes capaces de responder a las necesidades de los usuarios y facilitar la identificación de los elementos de seguridad incluidos. La introducción de nuevas tendencias, como la tactilidad, el estudio de la voz, la realidad virtual o la inteligencia artificial, contribuye a la continua adaptación y evolución de la neurociencia y de sus herramientas.

Full textAbstract:
The French composer Francis Poulenc had a profound admiration and empathy for the writings of the Spanish poet Federico García Lorca. That empathy was rooted in shared aspects of the artistic temperament of the two figures but was also undoubtedly reinforced by Poulenc’s fellow-feeling on a human level. As someone who wrestled with his own homosexuality and who kept his orientation and his relationships apart from his public persona, Poulenc would have felt an instinctive affinity for a figure who endured similar internal conflicts but who, especially in his later life and poetry, was more open about his sexuality. Lorca paid a heavy price for this refusal to dissimulate; his arrest in August 1936 and his assassination the following day, probably by Nationalist militia, was accompanied by taunts from his killers about his sexuality. Everything about the Spanish poet’s life, his artistic affinities, his personal predilections and even the relationship between these and his death made him someone to whom Poulenc would be naturally drawn and whose untimely demise he would feel keenly and might wish to commemorate musically. Starting with the death of both his parents while he was still in his teens, reinforced by the sudden loss in 1930 of an especially close friend, confidante and kindred spirit, and continuing throughout the remainder of his life with the periodic loss of close friends, companions and fellow-artists, Poulenc’s life was marked by a succession of bereavements. Significantly, many of the dedications that head up his compositions are ‘to the memory of’ the individual named. As Poulenc grew older, and the list of those whom he had outlived lengthened inexorably, his natural tendency towards the nostalgic and the elegiac fused with a growing sense of what might be termed a ‘survivor’s anguish’, part of which he sublimated into his musical works. It should therefore come as no surprise that, during the 1940s, and in fulfilment of a desire that he had felt since the poet’s death, he should turn to Lorca for inspiration and, in the process, attempt his own act of homage in two separate works: the Violin Sonata and the ‘Trois Chansons de Federico García Lorca’. This exposition attempts to unfold aspects of the two men’s aesthetic pre-occupations and to show how the parallels uncovered cast reciprocal light upon their respective approaches to the creative process. It also examines the network of enfolded associations, musical and autobiographical, which link Poulenc’s two compositions commemorating Lorca, not only to one another but also to a wider circle of the composer’s works, especially his cycle setting poems of Guillaume Apollinaire: ‘Calligrammes’. Composed a year after the ‘Trois Chansons de Federico García Lorca’, this intricately wrought collection of seven mélodies, which Poulenc saw as the culmination of an intensive phase in his activity in this genre, revisits some of ‘unheard voices’ and ‘unseen shadows’ enfolded in its predecessor. It may be viewed, in part, as an attempt to bring to fuller resolution the veiled but keenly-felt anguish invoked by these paradoxical properties.

The article is based on three cases of private psychoanalytic work with successful businessmen from central and northern parts of Ukraine. The research methodology was psychoanalytic theories devoted to the unconscious meanings of money and the role of money in the psychoanalytic setting, including object theory, drive theory, psychosexual development theory, narcissism theory, Oedipus complex, transference and resistance. What presents the interest of this study are the cases when those who grew up in poverty finally obtains such a desired object — money, wealth, however, something unconscious hinders this person to get satisfied by it and even to admit obtaining it. The presented clinical work was conducted as classic psychoanalysis in person with different duration: 5, 10 and 46 months. Men were asked to tell whatever comes to mind: thoughts, memories, dreams, phantasies, feelings etc. The role of psychoanalyst was to hear specific connections between patient’s stories and to analyze them together with the patient. The cases presented highlight several psychological features of young men «millionaires» who suffer from their own success. 1. Sensitivity to Father’s (real or symbolic) acceptance of their business and financial success. 2. Activation of unconscious Oedipus complex and Complex of castration because of the risk to dethrone the Father in reality, with experiences of guilt, fear and expectation of punishment. 3. Projection of their own envy, hate, wish to avenge and killing phantasies into external objects (friends, partners, psychoanalyst) with building individual defensive strategies from them. These psychological features were associated not only with suffering and psychopathological symptoms but also with impossibility to continue business development. In addition, the cases analyzed in the article show some difficulties in building business connected with the generations gap. Fathers from the USSR or the 90s teach their sons to act in the way that is not relevant for successful careers nowadays. This latent or manifested struggle between generations may be an important factor in abovementioned psychological features.

Full textAbstract:
La "Taxonomía Sostenible de México" (TSM), lanzada el 16 de marzo de 2023, representa un avance significativo hacia la transformación del sector financiero del país y una mayor movilización de recursos hacia actividades social y ambientalmente sostenibles. Además, la herramienta fomenta un entorno de certeza y transparencia en los mercados financieros, de forma que mitigará el greenwashing y social washing. Este documento tiene como objetivo identificar lecciones aprendidas en las dimensiones técnica, interinstitucional, de gobernanza, prospectiva y sostenibilidad. Para ello, el documento detalla el proceso de diseño y elaboración de la TSM. La metodología empleada incluyó una revisión documental detallada y la realización de entrevistas semiestructuradas con personas e instituciones involucradas en el proceso de diseño, consolidación e implementación. La metodología elegida permitió incorporar, de manera sistemática y desde una perspectiva integral, los desafíos, oportunidades y aprendizajes asociados al desarrollo de la TSM. El análisis destaca la inclusión de objetivos sociales en la TSM, en particular de igualdad de género, como un elemento innovador que refleja las prioridades de la política pública y la necesidad de abordar brechas de índole social. La inclusión del índice de igualdad de género separa a la TSM de otras taxonomías y posiciona a México como referente en la materia. Además, sobre el proceso de elaboración de la TSM, se destaca y detalla en el documento el establecimiento de estructuras de gobernanza que fomentaron la articulación de diversos actores, el papel activo de la cooperación internacional y de la banca multilateral, así como el liderazgo de la Secretaría de Hacienda y Crédito Público, institución que fue fundamental para garantizar el rigor técnico a lo largo del proceso, trabajo que continúa durante la promoción de la implementación y la adopción generalizada de la TSM. Este análisis busca contribuir a fortalecer la memoria institucional sobre la creación de herramientas de política pública y servir como referencia para otros países interesadas en desarrollar taxonomías sostenibles.
