Astapova, Anastasiya Negotiating Belarusianness: Political Folklore Betwixt and Between (review)

SEER, 94, 4, October 2016 772 sense-memories and human interactions. It is both engaging and highly readable, and despite the odd typo and an incorrect date it is an extremely valuable addition to the growing body of literature on everyday life in the GDR, and will appeal to those interested not only in GDR history, but also in urban studies, geography, memory studies and sociology. While it might have been interesting to investigate the post-Wende period in more detail, such an endeavour doubtless warrants a study of its own. Although Marzahn may currently be seen as a place with no past and no future, there remains much to learn from its study in the present. School of Modern Languages and Cultures A. Saunders Bangor University Astapova, Anastasiya. Negotiating Belarusianness: Political Folklore Betwixt and Between. Dissertationes Folkloristicae Universitatis Tartuensis, 22. University of Tartu Press, Tartu, 2015. 214 pp. Illustrations. Tables. Notes. Bibliographies. Price unknown. Political folklore in Belarus flourishes, despite the country’s reputation for apathy or, at least, passivity. Anastasiya Astapova’s thoroughly annotated dissertation offers the fullest analysis and illustration of this phenomenon to date. Its basic form is an extended introduction to the subject, including the work’s somewhat enigmatic title, followed by five of the author’s articles. The Introduction consists of: ‘Belarusian history and a rationale of current political situation’; ‘Representing Belarus: stereotypes, questions and challenges’; Theoretical framework and main concepts’; ‘Sources and methodology of this research’; and ‘The articles in brief and the main ideas described therein’. The English is at times less than authentic, and another minor problem is inherent to the dissertation’s format, namely the pagination, which makes direct reference to the work complex indeed: throughout the Introduction, References and Publications, as well as the first article, the pages are numbered consecutively 1–91; articles 2–5, however, are numbered individually, and the general pagination only resumes with ‘Summary in Estonian’ (p. 206). These small difficulties, however, pale beside the very thorough, well informed and illustrated research of a professional folklorist whose material, beyond the theory, is mainly derived from interviews with Belarusians inside and outside the country. Astapova has assembled some excellent verbal and visual illustrations to accompany her work. The first article, ‘Why all dictators have moustaches: Political jokes in contemporary Belarus’, for instance, has a picture of Hitler, Stalin and Lukashenka in profile over the heading ‘They Fought for Belarus’. REVIEWS 773 Manyofthejokesareofagenerickindrelatingtodictators,nationalstereotypes, limited intelligence and other staple topics, although the frequently inept sayings of the Leader himself appear highly amusing to many of the people interviewed. In article two, ‘Political biography: Incoherence, contestation, and the hero pattern in the Belarusian case’, small changes in the Leader’s date of birth make several of Astapova’s interviewees think of other plenipotentiaries’ tendency to alter the calendar at will. Hero patterns are graphically illustrated by two photographs of Lukashenka and Putin, each standing up to their waists in fields of corn. Beyond entertainment, the article gives seriously detailed attention to the origins, official and unofficial, of the Belarusian leader (nicknamed Baćka [Dad]), including national and racial features; for example, one picture shows a little boy holding up a placard: ‘A gypsy is no dad to me’. Article three, ‘When the president comes: Potemkin order as an alternative to democracyinBelarus’,describesafarfromexclusivelyBelarusianphenomenon in some of its most absurd manifestations, as the Leader regularly rides around his beleaguered country. As elsewhere in Astapova’s work, the academic narrative is lightened by stories told by the people she speaks to. The fourth article, ‘In search for truth: Surveillance rumors and vernacular panopticon in Belarus’, is introduced by a detailed theoretical introduction, before turning to rumoured and in many cases real instances of state surveillance. Belarus’s very high level of army personnel per capita (higher than Russia, for instance) and a large militia, as well as considerable mystery surrounding the command structure, all help to fuel fears that there may be a constant and omnipotent big brother. One cartoon shows Lukashenka behind a desk marked ‘Boss’ in the middle of a prison camp the shape of Belarus. Also discussed in this article are more than one terror attack, where the...

Review of Louis D. Hayes, The Islamic State in the Post-Modern World: the Political Experience of Pakistan.

Pakistan is widely acknowledged as a nation of strategic geopolitical importance, in that the success of NATO and US endeavours in Afghanistan, directed against the Taliban, are seen to depend on permanence and good governance in Pakistan. Louis D. Hayes’s book is an attempt to contribute to the ongoing debate on Pakistan’s standing as a nation-state in today’s global world. The author attempts to provide a succinct view of political developments in Pakistan since its creation in 1947 and the tensions between the promise of a modern nation-state and the menace of potentially Islamist Pakistan. From the Pakistan Movement to Mr. Sharif’s current government, this book breaks no new ground, nor does it offer fresh insights into Pakistan’s current political realities. The dearth of ethnography and first-hand experience makes the book a mere description of political events. The book’s overall organization is more of a collection of separate essays rather than a coherent narrative. Hayes’s disjointed approach and nebulous arguments make it difficult for the reader to follow the author’s narratives. The book goes surprisingly wrong in quoting basic historical facts, such as giving an incorrect date for the founding of Pakistan (see pp.128, 145). The book also betrays a lack of familiarity with basic knowledge of Islamic history. While discussing the Rashidun Caliphate, for example, the author writes that two rightly guided successors Umr and Ali were assassinated (p.37), and discounts the murder of Usman, the third caliph. The frequent replication of the same paragraphs and sentences in different chapters further increases the likelihood that readers will not take the book in a considered manner. The book is divided into three parts. The first discusses the concept of state and basic elements required to run a state. Hayes traces the starting point of the modern state back Cont Islam (2016) 10:289–291 DOI 10.1007/s11562-015-0349-8

An Etiquette for Women: Women’s Experience of Islam in Muslim Spain

An Etiquette for Women: Women’s Experience of Islam in Muslim Spain Jessica A. Coope Correction: Due to a production error, volume 29 of Essays in Medieval Studies was released with the incorrect publication date of 2013 on the article title pages. The correct publication date is 2014. The prevailing version of Islamic law, or Sharī‘ah, in al-Andalus (medieval Muslim Spain) viewed women primarily in their roles as daughters and wives. A woman was a good Muslim if she was obedient and stayed within her domestic role. In addition to those social restrictions, the law limited women’s religious expression by for example discouraging them from going to mosque to participate in public worship, and by making the ḥajj or pilgrimage to Mecca optional for women instead of mandatory as it was for men. The legal sources give us a version of medieval Islam that was intent on limiting women to their function as subordinate family members, and did not provide much outlet for spirituality. Other sources, however, show us a different picture. To begin with, legal rules designed to keep women subordinate to men were not always observed in practice. Notary forms suggest that, in a direct contradiction of Islamic law, a woman could use her marriage contract to impose conditions on her husband, including prohibiting him from taking a second wife. As far as religious expression is concerned, anecdotes in chronicles and literature show us women participating in officially unsanctioned religious events, like public prayer in cemeteries. The tradition of Sufism, or Islamic mysticism, which spread to al-Andalus in the 1100s, was more open to women’s participation than normative Islam, and the Sufi Ibn al-‘Arabī (d. 1240) writes with admiration about women mystics. Muslim women’s experience of Islam in al-Andalus, both as a code of conduct and as an outlet for spirituality, was more complex and flexible than the legal sources suggest. This essay focuses first on the normative religious discourse about women, and then on other sources that suggest the official rules were not always applied as written. The religious norms are articulated in the two major compendiums of legal opinions from the Mālikī school of Islamic law, the school that was dominant in al-Andalus: the Muwaṭṭa’, and the Mudawwanah al-Kubrā, compiled in the late [End Page 75] eighth and early ninth centuries.1 Another important legal source is a work by the ninth-century Andalusī legal expert Ibn Ḥabīb. His Etiquette for Women, or Adab al-nisā’, presents his interpretation of how women should comport themselves to conform with Sharī‘ah.2 The next part of the essay, which discusses how Sharī‘ah’s official views on women were sometimes undercut, will refer primarily to marriage contracts and mystical texts. Manuela Marín and Gloria López de la Plaza, to name just two scholars of women’s history in al-Andalus, have demonstrated that women’s true experience of Islam in Muslim Spain, although powerfully shaped by Sharī‘ah, was in fact more varied than we might expect from reading only normative sources.3 This article builds on their work by offering some new perspectives on Islamic law, in particular by comparing the status of Muslim women to that of non-Muslim men living under Islamic rule, and by bringing in a number of fresh examples of women’s piety outside of Sharī‘ah. Part I: Women in Sharī‘ah Medieval Sharī‘ah’s concept of legal status was similar in its basic assumptions to other pre-modern codes, including Roman and Persian law, which were two of the major sources for Islamic law as it developed in the eighth and ninth-century Middle East. It belongs to a group of legal systems in which only men in the dominant social group (in this case, free Muslim men) enjoyed full legal rights. In Sharī‘ah, only such men were fully “mukallaf,” or legally capable.4 Under Sharī‘ah and other pre-modern codes, groups outside of the fully privileged one--including members of other religions, foreigners (in some societies), slaves, women and minors--had diminished legal capacity, meaning that they had obligations and...

Piety, Ritual, and Heresy: The Varieties of Medieval Religious Experience

Piety, Ritual, and Heresy: The Varieties of Medieval Religious Experience Karen Ann Christianson Correction: Due to a production error, volume 29 of Essays in Medieval Studies was released with the incorrect publication date of 2013 on the article title pages. The correct publication date is 2014. The 2013 annual conference of the Illinois Medieval Association was held February 15 and 16 at the Newberry Library in Chicago and was cosponsored by the Newberry Center for Renaissance Studies. Its theme was “Piety, Ritual, and Heresy: The Varieties of Medieval Religious Experience.” Demonstrating the centrality of religion in the study of the Middle Ages, the call for papers drew more than a hundred submissions from scholars working in a wide variety of disciplines: history, art history, religious studies, cultural studies, book and manuscript studies, and the literatures of many languages. The essays in this volume reflect the diversity and innovation of papers presented at the conference. The conference keynote speaker, Gary Macy, conducts a tightly argued exploration of whether women in early medieval Europe were in fact ordained as priests. Through analysis of the rites and activities associated with priesthood at the time, he concludes that until about the twelfth century many women indeed functioned as priests and were considered as such by their contemporaries, including bishops, councils, and popes. The next two essays address the topic of miracles. Sarah Degner Riveros takes a fresh look at the Cantigas de Santa Maria, a collection of poems with musical notation written in the thirteenth century during the reign of Alfonso X of Castile, to examine the role and significance of child characters in miraculous occurrences described in the work. Christopher Maslanka explores the gendered nuances of the Life of St. Mary of Egypt as recounted in the Middle English South English Legendary, and the concept of penitence the story embodies, compared with other contemporary versions. Melissa Moreton delves into the possible motivations for and meanings behind the array of colophons written by nun-scribes in several Italian monastic scriptoria during the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries. Jessica Coope probes [End Page v] normative and alternative prescriptive models of the practice of Islam by women in medieval Muslim Spain, finding more complexity and flexibility than is commonly believed. Erin Wagner’s essay scrutinizes the intersection of politics, religion, and heresy through three case studies of men convicted of heresy in fifteenth-century England, highlighting the possible dangers inherent even for those deferent to church authority during a time of theological and institutional challenges and the fears associated with them. In the final essay in this collection, Elizabeth Moodey performs a close reading and analysis of Jean Germain’s 1457 work, Le Chemin de Paradis, structured as an allegorical triumphal procession intended to be incorporated into a tapestry to provide a guide to religious practice, doctrine, and faith for the ministry and lay people alike. As it has at its conferences each year since 1983, the 2013 Illinois Medieval Association gathering generated a profusion of new scholarship across diverse disciplines in the field of medieval studies and provided an opportunity for a robust exchange of ideas. The essays in this volume exemplify the vitality of the event. [End Page vi] Copyright © 2014 Illinois Medieval Association

Pious Voices: Nun-scribes and the Language of Colophons in Late Medieval and Renaissance Italy

Pious Voices: Nun-scribes and the Language of Colophons in Late Medieval and Renaissance Italy Melissa Moreton Correction: Due to a production error, volume 29 of Essays in Medieval Studies was released with the incorrect publication date of 2013 on the article title pages. The correct publication date is 2014. In the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, colophons were a means through which nun-scribes and decorators could express self-identification and associate themselves with the monastic virtue of piety. Loosely defined, the colophon is the note usually added at the end of the text that contains details of its production.1 These notes became increasingly common in secular manuscript production from the early fourteenth century onward.2 However, colophons written by religious women were uncommon in this and earlier periods, largely because the monastic virtue of humility precluded the use of personal identifiers in one’s work. This changed in the fifteenth century, when convent populations exploded and a new demographic of women entered monastic life. Within the realm of female monastic book production, colophons are often thought to be formulaic and predictable meta-texts that—though valuable for dating the manuscript and sometimes providing notes on production—do not offer much personalized information about the copyists. It is only by looking at a large number of these inscriptions that this image can be reshaped. Fifteenth and sixteenth-century nuns presented a range of identities in the colophons they left at the end of the manuscripts they copied. Treated as a genre of writing, these messages provide a vivid female-authored voice from the ‘anonymous’ walls of the convent and demonstrate how nuns creatively shaped their identity within the often-limiting strictures of monastic life. Nuns’ Scribal Colophons Within my survey of almost two hundred manuscripts, I have identified over fifty “scribal colophons,” those written by the nun who copied the text, instead of by someone else at the time or at a later date (see Appendix). These come predominately from central and northern Italian houses of Observant Dominican and Franciscan nuns—as well as a large selection from the prolific Bridgettine nuns [End Page 43] Click for larger view View full resolution Figure 1. Nun-scribes’ Manuscripts and Their Correlation to Nuns’ Scribal Colophons Charted by Quarter Century from 1400–1600. Chart credit: the author. of the Paradiso in Florence.3 The following figure shows all the dated and datable manuscripts identified from nun-scribes in the period (Fig. 1). Those with scribal colophons are also indicated. The graph illustrates a sharp increase in the production of dated and datable manuscripts from the mid-fifteenth century through the early sixteenth century. The late fifteenth century is very full, with numbers double that of the previous or following quarter century. As far as raw numbers go, the 1480s had the greatest number of dated manuscripts. However, manuscript evidence from nuns’ houses relies to a large degree on the presence of a colophon, so this must be taken into account when assessing the true number of nuns’ manuscripts produced in the period (i.e., the overall number of nuns’ manuscripts was likely higher than reported in the pre-1450 period, when colophon use was less common). The presence of dates in colophons also increases during the period, as more information began to be included in these inscriptions. Book production increased and so did colophon use. There were more books, but these books were also increasingly likely to include the name of the scribe, date, details of its production and use, and information about the text being copied. The Bridgettine double monastery of the Paradiso in Florence offers excellent evidence for the increase in scribal colophons in the late fifteenth century, since a large number of manuscripts survive from their library, allowing for a controlled comparative study of colophon use by male and female religious in the same community. The Bridgettine friars began producing [End Page 44] books in the early 1400s but male production slowed by the mid-Quattrocento, when the nuns began working, producing manuscripts through the mid-sixteenth century.4 Though the picture of nuns’ manuscript production shifts slightly with every new manuscript added to the canon, the general...

Reasons for change propagation: a case study in an automotive OEM

This paper focuses on identifying the reasons for change propagation during the production phase of the product life cycle. Unlike the traditional change propagation study where the focus is within the product, this study is focused to understand the propagation effects of change on other functional silos in the manufacturing firm. First, the reasons for the changes are identified using archival analysis through which it is found that 77.0 % of changes are due to internal reasons while 23.0 % are external. Second, these changes are distinguished into genesis, and propagated changes using a matrix-based modeling approach from which the reasons for propagation are identified. It is inferred that 32.4 % of the total changes are due to propagated changes such as inventory issues, manufacturing issues, and design error rectification. The majority of reasons for these propagated changes include document error rectification such as BOM error, drawing error, incorrect introduction date in engineering change note, and design error rectification such as design limitations. The findings indicate nearly one-third of time spent by the engineers can be reduced by developing appropriate controls during the change release process.

Plain-Radiographic Image Labeling: A Process to Improve Clinical Outcomes

To determine the rate of film-labeling errors and to describe a process for improved plain-film image labeling and the clinical outcomes from this process improvement. Image-labeling errors (absent or incorrectly assigned left or right lateral identifier marker, absent or incorrect patient-identifying number, absent or incorrect examination date, incorrect marker placement, absent technologist initial marker, or incorrect body-part order) were measured among 2,536 consecutive plain-film radiographs over a 2-week period. Following a process improvement initiative based on failure mode effectiveness analysis, left-side and right-side indicator markers, patient demographics, and date labels were identified as the most common sources of error. An improvement initiative using larger and colored left and right lateral indicator markers, an automated process to label patient demographics, and direct patient verification of identification was begun. The numbers of labeling errors were again assessed in 2,421 consecutive plain radiographs over a 2-week period. The error rates before and after the improvement initiatives were compared. Plain-radiographic labeling errors occurred in 62 of 2,536 (2.4%) images before the improvement initiative. Labeling errors were reduced to 17 of 2,421 (0.70%; 95% exact binomial confidence interval, 0.4% to 1.1%; P < .001, chi-square test) by using the improvement tools. Plain radiographic image labeling can be improved using bar-code reading of patient demographic information, linked to patient Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine modality work lists and image printing. Patient verification of demographic information is key and can be electronically managed. Lateral marker identification can be improved with larger (more easily read) and color-coded indicators.
