‘In search of lost time’, ‘friendship and archaeology’: a personal reminiscence of Ludovic Mann, Joseph Harrison Maxwell and George Applebey – my father

In this paper, I will reflect on my personal memories of Ludovic Mann, friend and mentor to my late father George Applebey, whose archaeological career is also a focus of the paper. They both worked together on Mann's most famous excavations at Knappers Farm, and the nearby painting of the Cochno Stone rock-art panel. However, these are only two examples of their long-term collaboration and friendship, and this paper will explore the broader context within which they worked. This will include consideration of other collaborators, such as J Harrison Maxwell, part of the ‘Ludovic Group’ in the first half of the twentieth century. The important role that all three men played in the development of Scottish archaeology is noted. The paper concludes with developments following Mann's death in 1955 including George Applebey's emergence as a noted amateur archaeologist in his own right, and the fate of the Mann and Applebey collections.

Dostluq - idmançı yeniyetmələrin şəxsiyyətlərarası münasibət forması kimi

The article discusses the emergence and development of interpersonal relationships between athletes and adolescents. It is emphasized that sports are important not only for the health of teenagers, but also for the establishment of long-term friendships. The article states that friendship should not be viewed as a stable situation. Friendly relationships should be viewed as a process. Which is also related to the problem of self-awareness and understanding of the other. Therefore, coaches and parents must properly guide the interactions between athletes and adolescents.

From Indonesia with Love: Friendships between Political Prisoners and their Pen Pals and the Creation of Human Rights Activist Networks

The incarceration of leftists in Indonesia under the army-dominated Suharto regime from 1965 to the late 1990s led to advocacy campaigns on their behalf by Amnesty International and the Religious Society of Friends (Quakers). Campaigns such as these included the involvement of members writing letters to political prisoners and gave rise in some instances to long-term epistolary friendships between some prisoners and their international pen pals. Friendships, such as the one between English writer Patricia Cleveland-Peck and a former schoolteacher serving a 15-year sentence, Pudji Aswati, reveal how letter-writing fostered human rights activism, and led to the establishment of a long-term fundraising scheme—the Pudji Fund—to support former political prisoners in many parts of the world. The deep emotional bonds developed between correspondents over several years led to the formation of strong networks of activism spanning several countries.

ТВОРЧІСТЬ ПИСЬМЕННИКІВ-«ЗЄВОНЧИКІВ» В ОЦІНЦІ ЛІТЕРАТУРНОГО КРИТИКА МІХАЛА ГРАБОВСЬКОГО

This article dials with the analysis of work of writers that belonged to the group of “Zievonia” through the prism of critic literary views of the Polish critic М. Grabovskyj. Determined, that the most obvious poetic capabilities М. Grabovskyj recognized in J. Borkovskyj and D. Magnushevskyj, but the special writer talent for the adopted artists of criticisms did not educed. М. Grabovskyj distinguished two incomparable translators of ancient and folk works – L. Semenskyj and А. Belyovskyj, their translations, thought the artist, considerably enriched Polish literature. М. Grabovskyj estimated very high ancient labours of K. Vojchitskyj, his collection of proverbs, parables, songs, legends critic considered as a large treasure of Polish literature, that had to influence on evolution of polish literary positively and mightily. But this figure was estimated ambiguously: as a collector of folklore K. Vojchitskyj was enough highly perceived by М. Grabovskyj, however did not saw him as a writer. Also L. Semenskyj was marked by M. Grabovskyj as a “not so good” writer, but as a translator of the greatest level. Thus, to «Zievonchyks» were heard not only dithyrambs but also objective estimations of work. Among all representatives of group «Zievonchyks» separate attention of М. Grabovskyj was dedicated to S. Goshchynskyj as one of its brightest representatives, that partly, to our opinion, was determined by the long-term friendship of both masters. M. Grabovskyj noticed that S. Goshchynskyj had unsurpassed ability to pass the mood of work by descriptions of landscape and he did not have competitors of this ability even among the representatives of Polish literary of that time. Poetic school «Zievonchyks» was distinguished by admiration of slavs, and adopting of paints of the folk Slavic poetry. М. Grabovskyj sympathized with slavs tendencies in works of many representatives of this group, and Grabovskyj estimated positively.

Instrumental or Meaningful Friendships: Black Alumnae Perspectives on Peer Relationships During College

This critical qualitative study explores how Black women experienced friendships throughout college. Findings revealed that long-term friendships, primarily with other Students of Color, were both created and maintained, were meaningful in nature, and often spanned several contexts. Women also described short-term instrumental friendships, often with diverse others. Instrumental relationships were designed to meet a particular need and were often context-bound. The analysis ends with implications for students’ relationships in and outside of their racial/ethnic group and with practical implications for administrators on college campuses.

Understanding adolescents’ unfriending on Facebook by applying an extended theory of planned behaviour

ABSTRACTBecoming friends on Facebook does not always guarantee long-term friendships as users have the possibility to unfriend people. This unfriending behaviour is frequently occurring and might have negative consequences for both parties. To gain insight into the factors influencing adolescents’ unfriending, the current study made use of an extended version of the theory of planned behaviour. To enrich the theoretical framework, we included antecedents related to adolescents’ friendship management on Facebook, namely their number of friends, their friendship acceptance threshold, and their degree of public communication. A cross-sectional survey was conducted among 1.117 adolescents. SEM analyses indicated that both subjective norm and attitude were related to behavioural intention, which in turn was related to adolescents’ unfriending behaviour. Perceived behavioural control was only associated with adolescents’ unfriending behaviour. Regarding the additional factors, the size of adolescents’ friend network was positively related to their confidence in the ability to unfriend people. Adolescents’ friendship acceptance threshold was negatively related to their attitude, whereas adolescents’ degree of public communication was positively associated with their perceived behavioural control and the experienced social pressure to unfriend.

Selfobject Experience in Long-Term Friendships of Midlife Women

ABSTRACTFew psychodynamic thinkers have explored friendship from a self-psychological perspective. Many have suspected, but this study is the first of its kind to demonstrate through a rigorous qualitative research process that selfobject needs are, in fact, experienced in friendships. This phenomenological study offers an in-depth exploration of how 13 midlife women experienced their long-term friendships. Factors promoting structure building and cohesion strengthening are present in friendships. Learning how one's client approaches friendships can offer clinical insight into selfobject needs, since one's pattern of approaching relationships is enacted in friendships. Offering a psychodynamic understanding of friendship deepens therapeutic understanding of self.

Tórtola Valencia and Antonio de Hoyos y Vinent: Celebrity and Self-Plagiarism

Tórtola Valencia and Antonio de Hoyos y Vinent:Celebrity and Self-Plagiarism Jeffrey Zamostny On March 25, 1913, the Spanish writer Antonio de Hoyos y Vinent published the short novel La primera de abono in the kiosk literary collection El Libro Popular. Mobilizing Hoyos's signature blend of folkloric costumbrismo and cosmopolitan Decadence, the narrative recounts the tragic demise of a love affair between an amateur bullfighter and a famous dancer. On February 12, 1915, Hoyos republished the text under the title La zarpa de la esfinge in another short novel collection, Los Contemporáneos. Apart from some small revisions and typographical corrections, the rebaptized text features a new dedication to the modern dancer Carmen Tórtola Valencia as well as fourteen new portraits of Tórtola by renowned painters and illustrators. La primera de abono and La zarpa de la esfinge contain nearly identical texts, but the latter novel's paratexts contribute new meaning by encouraging readers to associate the female protagonist with Tórtola, a prominent dancer in Spain at the time. Not coincidentally, Tórtola was at the height of her celebrity when La zarpa de la esfinge hit kiosks in 1915. On the one hand, the republication of La primera de abono followed standard practice in kiosk novel collections such as El Libro Popular and Los Contemporáneos. As we shall see, prolific contributors often resorted to dubious means of churning out novels, not least of which was to publish the same text multiple times under different titles. The editorial paratexts of La zarpa de la esfinge give no indication that the text had been published previously as La primera de abono. Moreover, [End Page 297] Hoyos discussed the later novel without acknowledging its origin, making way for early reviewers to present it as an original work.1 On the other hand, the circumstances surrounding the transformation of La primera de abono into La zarpa de la esfinge make this case of self-plagiarism into something more than a commercially motivated ruse. The paratexts of the latter publication do not simply package the text in new trappings; rather, they modify its meaning to the point that La zarpa de la esfinge is a significantly different novel. This article analyzes the variations between La primera de abono and La zarpa de la esfinge while situating the novels in a larger textual corpus that attests to the long-term friendship between Hoyos and Tórtola and their mutual desire for celebrity. The aim is to elucidate the possible motivations behind the recycling of La primera de abono as well as the aesthetic and sociocultural effects of its metamorphosis into La zarpa de la esfinge. Together, the two novels furnish a fascinating case study into the intimate relationship between kiosk literature and celebrity in the context of two important novelistic subgenres of Silver Age Spain, the novela taurina and the roman à clef. Hoyos and Tórtola, Celebrities Hoyos and Tórtola rose to celebrity in Spain, especially in Madrid, in the years before and during World War I. By that time, the Spanish word celebridad had undergone a shift in meaning to a definition that remains recognizable today. Noël Valis notes that between the sixteenth and nineteenth centuries, this word applied to individuals who were celebrated for their virtue, heroism, or noble lineage. With the growth of commercial print culture and the decline of the aristocracy in the late nineteenth century, new usages began to shed these previous meanings, such that modern celebrity referred less to accomplishment and high birth than to the generation of widespread attention by the nascent mass media (Valis 130–32). In this context, celebrity involves the "attribution of glamorous or notorious status to an individual within the public sphere," an attribution that may derive from the celebrity's "special talent or skill," but that may just as well hinge on scandal and sensationalism (Rojek 10, 18). As deft manipulators of celebrity culture, Hoyos and Tórtola drew attention to themselves by means of their art, their unconventional public personae, and their [End Page 298] sustained engagement with mass cultural forms such as kiosk literary collections and illustrated magazines.

El valor de las relaciones de cuidado

<p class='p1'>Este texto se concentra en el valor de las relaciones de cuidado (RC) y en la política pública que debe adoptarse en relación con ellas. Defiendo que, en consonancia con lo que argumenta Elizabeth Brake, debido a que las RC son una de las bases sociales del respeto propio, el mismo marco de apoyo que las leyes maritales ofrecen actualmente a las relaciones biamorosas debe ser accesible a otras RC consensuadas entre adultos —como las amistades a largo plazo, las relaciones entre cohabitantes y las poliamorosas—. Sin embargo, a diferencia de lo que sostiene Brake, argumento que debemos evitar usar el término “matrimonio” para referirnos legalmente a cualquier RC. En concreto, mi propuesta es extender los derechos asociados con el matrimonio a otras RC entre adultos y suprimir dicho término por completo en la legislación.</p>

A case study of an intentional friendship between a volunteer and adult with severe intellectual disability: “My life is a lot richer!”

ABSTRACTBackground Friendships between people with and without intellectual disability remain elusive. Little is known about factors that support the development of such friendships and what services can do to promote the likelihood that contact will develop into friendship.Method A case study approach was used to explore the qualities and development of a long-term friendship between 2 women, 1 of whom has severe intellectual disability. Qualitative methods of data collection and analysis were used including interviews and field notes from participant observation.Findings The relationship progressed through 3 stages of introduction, consolidation, and autonomy supported by the working practices and culture of the disability support organisation. Individualised activity, the role of a connector, and a culture of positive expectations underpinned the growth of the friendship.Conclusions Friendships do not happen by chance but require thought, attention, dedicated resources, and commitment to long-term outcomes to be achieved.

Perspektivy sotrudnichestva Rossii so stranami Magriba v svete novyh global'nyh vyzovov

The article examines the new realities of Russia’s foreign policy after the “Arab Spring” and the potential for increased Russian influence in the Maghreb. One of the consequences of the recent political upheavals in North Africa is the growth of terrorist threat – this factor draws particular attention to this region. The Maghreb is important for the promotion of Russian interests in the Arab world and the African continent. Russia and North Africa are seeking strategic cooperation, and these countries have long-term friendship and mutual interests in the political and economic spheres. Further increase of the interaction will strengthen bilateral relations, will make it easier to survive during the political and economic crisis. The article analyzes the formation, the current state and prospects of Russian-Algerian, Moroccan-Russian and Russian-Tunisian relations. Algeria is one of the leading economic partners of Russia on the African continent. The main areas of bilateral cooperation are the energy and military spheres. The growth of the terrorist threat in the Sahara-Sahel region prompted Russia and Morocco to deepen security cooperation. In the context of EU economic sanctions against Russia a priority in RussianTunisian and Russian-Moroccan trade relations is to enhance cooperation in the field of agriculture. Russia is a traditional exporter of Moroccan oranges and Tunisian olive oil. Promising areas of cooperation of Russia and Tunisia are the development of water resources and hydraulic engineering, infrastructure projects in the field of construction of roads, bridges, industrial facilities. Expansion of ties with the North African countries will allow Russia to increase influence in the region.

The Uses of Memoir in Writing History: Or, What I Learned About Autobiography from John Hope Franklin and August Meier

[ILLUSTRATION OMITTED] In 1989, I was a graduate student just beginning research on life of historian Rayford Logan. Perhaps best remembered for popularizing phrase the Nadir to describe trajectory of African Americans in period between end of Reconstruction and World War I, Logan (1897-1982) was a distinguished historian, Pan-Africanist, and civil rights innovator. A close associate of both Carter G. Woodson and W. E. B. DuBois, an early patron of Langston Hughes, and lifelong friends with, among others, great poet Sterling Brown and civil rights legal pioneer Charles Houston, Logan is better known to wider pub lie for editing 1944 collection of essays What Negro Wants and authoring his 1954 classic The Negro in American Life and Thought. But he was also a prominent diplomatic historian who wrote prolifically on Haiti, Caribbean, and Latin America, and on colonial Africa and anti-colonial struggle. And as a politically engaged professor in 1920s, 1930s, and 1940s at Virginia Union, Atlanta, and Howard Universities, he organized first citizenship schools designed to help disfranchised African Americans navigate considerable barriers to registering to vote. In 1920s he was a leading organizer of Pan-African Congress movement, and during wwn he was prominent in efforts to break down inequality in military and defense industries and was centrally involved in negotiations with President Roosevelt to issue Executive Order 8802. Yet as a light-complexioned African American, he was also influenced by intra-racial color prejudice that manifested itself in both pernicious and idiosyncratic ways. For example, when racial nomenclature began to change in 1960s, he was known to terminate conversations--and even longterm friendships--when people used word to describe Negroes. His visceral reaction to was often first thing people who knew him commented upon when I interviewed them. (1) In 1989, I had made my way to Durham, North Carolina, to interview John Hope Franklin, one of Logan's close associates. Franklin was extremely generous with his time and related choice stories and keen analysis of Logan's life and career. In this, my experience was not unique, as Franklin was unstinting with his time to all beginner scholars who requested it. At some point during lunch, Franklin asked me what else I would be doing while I was in area. I had had it in back of my head that I might visit Southern Historical Collection at University of North Carolina Libraries and look at correspondence concerning publication of Logan's controversial 1944 book What Negro Wants. (The book had created quite a storm in white South because contributors, all of whom were black and who together represented widest range of opinion, declared that what Negro wanted was end of segregation. The publisher was unc Press, and then-director W. T. Couch was scandalized; he tried to renege on publication contract, and relented only when Logan threatened him with a lawsuit.) I told Dr. Franklin with cocky assurance, I did not think that it would be necessary to visit archives, because I had already read about publication controversy in a couple of other books and I was sure that I had full story. Franklin shot me a look that exposed my foolishness: But, he intoned, those are not primary sources! Embarrassed, I mumbled something or other, and as soon as I could I dug into primary sources. Sure enough, I had not had full story. Logan had indeed eventually stood up to publishers, but until he reached that point, he was quite solicitous of Couch's point of view and tried to impose on his contributors to soften their opinions. Logan was willing to bend his integrity because publication by a prestigious press had professional value and, in an era of rigid segregation, would, he convinced himself, have salubrious effects for race. …

Effects of Hospital Workers' Friendship Networks on Job Stress.

BackgroundThis study attempted to identify the sources of job stress according to job position and investigate how friendship networks affect job stress.MethodsQuestionnaires based on The Health Professions Stress Inventory (HPSI) developed by Wolfgang experienced by healthcare providers were collected from 420 nurses, doctors and radiological technologists in two general hospitals in Korea by a multistage cluster sampling method. Multiple regression analysis was used to examine the effects of friendship networks on job stress after controlling for other factors.ResultsThe severity of job stress differed according to level of job demands (p = .006); radiologic technologists experienced the least stress (45.4), nurses experienced moderate stress (52.4), and doctors experienced the most stress (53.6). Those with long-term friendships characterized by strong connections reported lower levels of stress than did those with weak ties to friends among nurses (1.3, p < .05) and radiological technologists (11.4, p < .01). The degree of cohesion among friends had a positive impact on the level of job stress experienced by nurses (8.2, p < .001) and radiological technologists (14.6, p < .1). Doctors who participated in workplace alumni meetings scored higher than those who did not. However, those who participated in alumni meetings outside the workplace showed the opposite tendency, scoring 9.4 (p < .05) lower than those who did not. The resources from their friendship network include both information and instrumental support. As most radiological technologists were male, their instrumental support positively affected their job stress (9.2, p < .05). Life information support was the primary positive contributor to control of nurses’ (4.1, p < .05), radiological technologists’ (8.0, p < .05) job stress.ConclusionThe strength and density of such friendship networks were related to job stress. Life information support from their friendship network was the primary positive contributor to control of job stress.

Interpersonal Forgiveness and Psychological Well-being in Late Childhood

Although the ability to forgive offending peers may be crucial for maintaining long-term friendships in childhood, little is actually known about forgiveness among peers in childhood. In the present research, we examined whether forgiveness among children is related to enhanced psychological well-being. Importantly, we hypothesized that this association should be most pronounced when friendship is strong rather than weak. In a sample of 275 nine- to 13-year-olds who completed self-reported and behavioral measures of forgiveness and various indicators of psychological well-being, the present study revealed that forgiveness among peers was indeed associated with enhanced psychological well-being. In line with predictions, the association with psychological well-being was stronger when it concerned forgiveness toward friends rather than forgiveness toward nonfriends. Implications for the extant literature on forgiveness among children, and interpersonal relationships more broadly, are discussed.

Mental Health Issues and Their Relation to Identity Distress in College Students

This study examined the relation between identity distress and mental health issues in college students. An online survey was utilized to assess whether college students had been diagnosed with or treated for anxiety, depression, substance use, and other mental health issues in the past 12 months. Additionally, identity distress related to long-term goals, friendships, career choice, sexual orientation and behavior, religion, values or beliefs, and group loyalties was assessed. Average identity distress scores were significantly higher for students who had been diagnosed with or treated for a mental health issue. Results also indicated that having been diagnosed with or treated for a mental health issue significantly predicted severe distress related to long-term goals and friendships. Implications of these findings are discussed.

Krylov, Gnedich, and the Mythology of Friendship in Gogol’s The Tale of How Ivan Ivanovich Quarreled with Ivan Nikiforovich

The paper questions the origins of Nikolai Gogol’s The Tale of How Ivan Ivanovich Quarreled with Ivan Nikiforovich (1833) and its specific position in the Mirgorod collection. The authors identify and analyze an important and overlooked level of allusions of the tale—that of the literary everyday life of the Russian capital in 1820s–early 1830s, eagerly observed and “digested” by the young Gogol. The article demonstrates how and why the phenomenon of a long-term friendship between Nikolai Gnedich and Ivan Krylov, two prominent figures of literary St. Petersburg who were poets, librarians, and neighbors, was created by the neo-classical milieu of Alexey Olenin, the director of the Imperial Public Library. It also points out that the harmony of this cultural myth contrasted with the reality of the Gnedich-Krylov relationship (which faded away soon after Gnedich’s retirement and his move to another apartment), a development that was certainly known to Gogol. The main idea of The Tale of How Ivan Ivanovich Quarreled with Ivan Nikiforovich—the sudden break in a great friendship followed by the destruction of the universe in which it flourished—seems to have been influenced by the tension created by the contrast between the men’s real relationship and the myth of their great friendship. The numerous features linking Ivan Ivanovich and Ivan Nikiforovich to Gnedich and Krylov, respectively, are not to be interpreted as a case of a direct prototypicality, however; Gogol’s paired friends-enemies also appear to reflect a development of themes from the Russian folklore bestiary.

Narratives of Third Culture Kids: Commitment and Reticence in Social Relationships

The lives of Third Culture Kids (TCKs) are characterized by their experiences of living among different worlds that could isolate them from social interaction and establishing long-term friendships. Exploring the experiences of ten TCKs, this paper reports on primary data gathered through the Collage Life Story Elicitation Technique (CLET) in order to gain an understanding of the meaning making of TCKs and their commitment and reticence in establishing relationships during their developmental years. In-depth thematic analysis indicated a struggle building intimacy and companionships and deep friendships, as well as difficulties with maintaining relationships with others and a possible fear of commitment. Implications for counselling of TCKs and their families are discussed.

Identity Distress and Negative Affect in College Students

Many young people attend college during the peak years of identity exploration. This research examines the prevalence of identity distress among college students and the degree to which participants may meet the DSM-IV classification for identity problem. In addition, this study examines the extent to which participants with high levels of identity distress report symptoms of depression and other symptoms of negative affect. Findings indicated that 8.1% of the sample met the DSM-IV description for identity problem as assessed with the Identity Distress Survey. Those who met the criteria for identity problem reported significantly more loneliness, overwhelming anger, hopelessness, and depression, compared with those without identity problem. The identity areas of long-term goals, friendships, and career were more likely to be rated as causing severe distress and were more likely to be associated with specific negative affect symptoms. Implications regarding prevention programming for emerging adults and college students in particular are discussed.

The Experiences of Some Early and Elementary Education Living-Learning Community Participants

Many factors may influence how a student experiences his or her residence community involvement. Ball State University, an institution with a history of innovative and effective housing programs, recently implemented a living-learning community comprised of students declaring majors within their Department of Elementary Education. A total of 15 participants who had resided within this living-learning community for a minimum of one academic-year were interviewed. Interviews focused on students overall experience within the Early and Elementary Education Living-Learning Community. Common themes emerging from the semi-structured interviews included participants feeling connected and comfortable quickly within their college transition, social benefit including the development and maintenance of long-term friendships, and academic benefit including better course performance and more commitment towards the field of study.
