The prism of self-translation: poiesis and poetics of Yu Guangzhong’s bilingual poetry

ABSTRACT The activity of self-translation may be seen as a mise-en-scène of the hybrid auctorial self, as well as an ideal stage for a reconstruction of meanings, through a second original. As a (re)creative paradigm, self-translation echoes the concept of poiesis as a ‘bringing into appearance’, according to Heidegger’s interpretation, namely as a crystallisation of the refracted facets of language and self. In this connection, the genetic approach may represent a tool to access the aesthetic world of the writer (the poietes) and to explore his (re)creative process. This paper discusses the case-study of the distinguished Taiwanese poet Yu Guangzhong (1928–2017), and his self-translated poetry collected in Shouye ren 守夜人/The Night Watchman. Through a comparative reading of three selected bilingual poems with their manuscript versions, this paper aims to investigate Yu’s poetics of self-translation, while observing through the multi-layered spectrum of a linguistic and cultural rendering.

The impact of partner autonomy constraints on women's health-seeking across the maternal and newborn continuumofcare.

Gendered health inequities impede women's reproductive autonomy over the life course. Pregnancy is a critical time point for assessing inequities and partners are integral actors in the achievement or impediment of women's and children's health during this time. Among a nationally representative cohort of Ethiopian women 5-9 weeks postpartum with data collected from October 2019-September 2020, this study aimed to 1) understand the prevalence and interplay of partner-related autonomy constraints (intimate partner violence (IPV), reproductive coercion (RC), lack of encouragement from seeking antenatal care (ANC), and lack of encouragement from seeking postnatal care (PNC), and 2) examine the impact of autonomy constraints on the maternal and newborn health (MNH) continuum of care. Sixty percent of women experienced a partner-related autonomy constraint prior to or during pregnancy. Approximately 20% of women were not encouraged to seek antenatal care and postpartum care, respectively, whereas fewer women experienced IPV during pregnancy (12.3%) and RC (11.0%). Less than one in five women completed the MNH continuum of care. Lack of encouragement of ANC and PNC were associated with decreased care-seeking at every point across the MNH continuum of care. Lack of encouragement of ANC (aOR=0.45; p=0.05) and of PNC (aOR=0.16; p<0.001) were associated with reductions in completing the continuum. Partner engagement, interventions, and messaging are critical to enhance MNH care-seeking behaviors. This work was supported, in whole, by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation [INV 009466].

Encore MacNally?: A Dramatic Tristram Shandy in Manuscript and in Print

Leonard MacNally’s two-act dramatic adaptation of Tristram Shandy, first performed at Covent Garden in 1783, has attracted considerable critical attention in studies of Sterneana. However, those discussions are largely based on the printed version of the text, bolstered by reviews found in contemporary newspapers, leading to many conclusions about the content, performance contexts, and adaptive qualities of MacNally’s work. Consulting the manuscript version of this short play provides us with a much clearer view of the Tristram Shandy that was actually performed on stage compared with the printed version consumed by readers. Comparing these two versions reveals the play’s excised scenes and its numerous internal changes — hitherto only glimpsed through newspaper reviews. This comparison substantiates conclusions about the nature of MacNally’s investment in Sterne, supported by some comment on his Sentimental Excursions to Windsor and Other Places (1781). It also informs our knowledge of the multi-authored, collaborative theatrical culture of his day; the stage as arena for political satire; the differences between performance and reading play-texts; and the audience’s appetite for different forms of comedy.

Elucidating the effects of peer review

Objective. The ability of peer review to improve the scientific endeavour, e.g., conduct, reporting, and validity of study findings, is increasingly being questioned (Tennant &amp; Ross-Hellauer, 2020) and calls have been made to showcase changes that occurred to each study due to peer review (Limbu, 2020). Until such transparency is achieved, our objective is to identify and collect studies that analysed differences between preprints or submitted manuscripts and peer reviewed journal articles. &#x0D; Design. We identified studies based on our knowledge of the field and by checking all research at peer review conferences (presented as podium presentations or posters). We also checked references of identified studies. For all included studies we then extracted the year of publication, sampling method, conflicts of interest, funding, data and protocol sharing, number of analysed version-pairs, sample size calculation, scholarly discipline, method used to compare versions, variables (i.e., manuscript sections) analysed for changes, and metric with which the changes were quantified or qualitatively classified. Future steps will include a search of bibliographic databases (and preprint servers) and launching of an online form that will allow anyone to submit missed studies for inclusion in the review. Current findings are only descriptive, but meta-analyses are planned.&#x0D; Results. Of 25 studies published from 1990 till the end of 2021, 16 analysed changes between submitted and published papers and 9 between preprints and published papers. Changes were most often analysed by filling out questionnaires or scoring each of the two manuscript versions separately (n=11) or by comparing them visually (n=6). Median number of analysed version-pairs was 59 (IQR, 41- 122). Most studies analysed changes in health (n=18) or social sciences (n=4) manuscripts. Overall, they find a very high similarity between version-pairs, with largest changes occurring in introduction and discussion sections.&#x0D; Conclusions. Current results indicate that submitted or pre-printed manuscript versions and their peer-reviewed journal version are very similar, with main (analysis) methods and main findings rarely changing. Quantification of these results is pending. Large differences between studies, type of changes, and methods with which they were measured indicate greater need for collaboration in the peer-review field and for core outcome measures for manuscript version changes.

Preprints in Health Professions Education: Raising Awareness and Shifting Culture.

A preprint is a version of a research manuscript posted by its authors to a preprint server before peer review. Preprints are associated with a variety of benefits, including the ability to rapidly communicate research, the opportunity for researchers to receive feedback and raise awareness of their research, and broad and unrestricted access. For early-career researchers, preprints also provide a mechanism for demonstrating research progress and productivity without the lengthy timelines of traditional journal publishing. Despite these benefits, few health professions education (HPE) research articles are deposited as preprints, suggesting that preprinting is not currently integrated into HPE culture. In this article, the authors describe preprints, their benefits and related risks, and the potential barriers that hamper their widespread use within HPE. In particular, the authors propose the barriers of discordant messaging and the lack of formal and informal education on how to deposit, critically appraise, and use preprints. To mitigate these barriers, several recommendations are proposed to facilitate preprints in becoming an accepted and encouraged component of HPE culture, allowing the field to take full advantage of this evolving form of research dissemination.

Another look at the two Egyptian pyramid volume ‘formulas’ of 1850 BCE

This paper provides some methodological, didactical, and historiographical reflections on Egyptian pyramid volume formulas, responding to suggestions by Paul Shutler from 2009. These suggestions partly reiterate a historically documented proof by the Chinese Liu Hui (third century CE), although Lui Hui’s contribution was apparently unknown to Shutler. The latter came forward, in addition, with intuitive arguments which might have been used by the Egyptians to convince themselves of the correctness of their formula for the volume of the full pyramid. In a broad sense, the reflections in this paper may contribute to the use of history in the mathematical classroom. As a cautionary note: The paper is an abridged version of a longer manuscript that contains detailed explanations and discussions of historical secondary sources. Since the paper is somewhat outside the usual canon of mathematics historiography, I have deposited the longer manuscript on <arXiv.org>.

The contribution of Ahmad ibn Mansur al-Ispidjabi to the islamic studies of Kazakhstan

The article tells about the life and work of one of the representative of the Hanafi school of Kazakh origin Ahmad ibn Mansur al-Ispidjabi, his teachers and students. Although there is some information about the life and career of a scientist, there is very little information about his teachers and students, including that they need clarification. The article also describes the most important work of Ahmad ibn Mansur al-Ispidjabi "Sharh Mukhtasar at-Tahawi", and its manuscript versions in the libraries of the modern world. Because this work of the scientist has been preserved in handwritten form. This work of Ahmad ibn Mansur became the basis for the formation of the school of jurisprudence in the city of Ispidjab. To confirm this conclusion, the work of Ahmad ibn Mansur "Sharh Mukhtasar at-Takhavi" is studied, its semantic meanings and methodological features are shown. Besides Ahmad ibn Mansur, a number of scholars have commented on Mukhtasar at-Takhavi. Among them is a scholar named Abu Bakr al-Jassas. A comparative study of "Sharh Mukhtasar at-Takhavi" by Ahmad ibn Mansur al-Ispidjabi and "Sharh Mukhtasar at-Takhavi" by Abu Bakr al-Jassas is also being conducted, and their methodological features and differences are described.

Guidelines for physical activity in children with heart disease.

In recent years, there has been increasing recognition of children with heart disease in our country. These children belong to different age groups and have untreated, partially treated, or completely treated heart disease. The role of physical activity for optimal physical, emotional, and psychosocial well-being for children is well understood. There is a challenge for the parents and the medical professionals to take a decision regarding the type of physical activity safe for the child as heart disease may affect the hemodynamic demands. Most of the existing international guidelines focus on competitive sports in operated heart disease children. This may be of limited use when we have a mixed population of children with heart disease, different types of sports in our country and where a larger subset is looking for recommendations to leisure time activities. The Pediatric Cardiac Society of India decided to formulate recommendations for physical activity in children with heart diseases. A committee of experts, who were well-versed with the subject of physical activity in children with heart disease, volunteered to take up the task of writing the guidelines. The recommendations emerged following deliberations of the committee members, on the virtual platform as well as mails. The final version of manuscript was approved by all committee members and all members are co-authors of this manuscript. The different types of physical activities were defined including leisure sports and competitive sports. The exercise was classified based on the mechanical action of muscles involved into dynamic and static components. Each type of exercise was then classified based on the intensity into low, medium, and high. Recommendations for the type of physical activity for individual heart lesions were decided based on the rationale available. The recommendations here are made with an intention to provide general guidelines for physical activity in children with operated and unoperated heart diseases, not excluding a need for individualizing a plan, serial assessment, and comprehensive checkup in special situations. We hope the recommendations mentioned below would provide basic clarity in planning physical activity in children with heart disease. This is with the hope to encourage physically active life, at the same time ensuring a safety net.

‘RECLUSION IS NO MORE POSSIBLE WHILE OUR WORLD STANDS IN FLAMES’: EMERGING POLITICAL SUBTEXTS IN THE GENESIS OF STEFAN ZWEIG'S UNGEDULD DES HERZENS

AbstractUngeduld des Herzens (1939) is the only novel published during Stefan Zweig's lifetime. Written between 1936 and 1938, the book's genesis coincided with key events in Austrian and European history, including the mass displacement of Jews from Germany and the ‘Anschluss’ of Austria with Nazi‐Germany. A closer inspection of the changes from the first to the tenth and final manuscript version of the novel indicates that Zweig started out with the intention to write a psychological novella about a tragic love story. As work on the text progressed, however, Zweig added characters and plot elements which appear to comment on the political developments of the time. In this article, I will argue that the revisions Zweig made while he was re‐writing the novel add an important political subtext that aligns with the ethical objectives of his later exile works.

Political Censorship on the Late-Victorian Stage: Rereading Oscar Wilde’s Vera; or, the Nihilist[s]

Abstract The publication in 2021 of the Oxford English Texts version of Oscar Wilde’s Russian melodrama Vera; or, the Nihilist (1883), based, as it is, on new archival research by its editor Josephine Guy, deepens the mystery surrounding the alleged censorship of Oscar Wilde’s first play. While Wilde himself promoted the idea that the expression of democratic ideals in his Nihilist play had prevented its performance in England, a genetic analysis of an early manuscript version of the play (1881) made available in the OET Vera and Guy’s reconstructed play-text of the first performance, problematizes the putative censorship of the play on political grounds. In conjunction with new readings of Wilde’s Poems (1881) and his letters from the period, the genetic analysis that follows crystallizes attendant issues concerning the extent of Wilde’s radicalism at the outset of his career and the nature of his commitment to Irish republicanism per se. Where the Chief Examiner of Plays (E. F. S. Pigott) promoted the idea that there was no political censorship of the theatre at the end of the Victorian period, the examples of the alleged suppression of Wilde’s melodrama and the experiences of his mentor, the Irish playwright Dion Boucicault, at the hands of the British press evince the multiple forms of political censorship and self-censorship that came to shape (and impede) the development of the late-Victorian stage.

Germand Gladensvend and the monster

Abstract The present analysis discusses the narratological structures of the Danish folk ballad on ‘Germand Gladensvend’ (‘Happy Germand’, DgF 33). The text is preserved in six different manuscript versions, all of them written before appr. 1630, and in a printed version from 1591. Although the story is strongly related in all of them, including stanzas that are identical almost word for word, the different versions nevertheless have rather different narratological structures, depending on the strong variation between the conclusions of the different versions. In order to make these differences clear, the analysis uses classical narratological concepts, like movements of objects of value and the semiotic square. The narrative structures in the extant versions of the Danish popular ballad “Germand Gladensvend” (DgF 33).

Il sonetto 26 di Iacopo Sannazaro: «Dolce, amaro, pietoso, irato sdegno»

This article analyses the metre, syntax, argumentative structure and imagery of Sonnet 26 in Iacopo Sannazaro’s Sonetti et canzoni, in relation to the model of Petrarch’s Fragmenta. Particular attention is dedicated to the textual variants present in the manuscript versions with respect to the first edition, exploring how the corrections redesigned the stylistic features of the poem and introduced a bolder depictive effect, which together reshaped the meaning evoked by the work.

Analysis and Translation of an Epistle the 73 Sects Classification Attributed to Abū al-Qāsim Abd al-Wāhid b. Ahmad al-Kirmānī

İslâm Mezhepleri Tarihi yazıcılığı zengin bir birikime sahiptir. Nitekim yüz yıllardır mezhepler hakkında çok sayıda çalışmanın kaleme alındığını görmekteyiz. Bu çalışmalardan birçoğu tespit edilerek neşri yapılmış, birçoğu ise araştırılmak için kendi sırasını beklemektedir. Çalışmamızda konu edindiğimiz ve muhtemelen müstensih tarafından “Şerhü kavli aleyhisselam:“Setefteriku Ümmetî alâ Selâse ve Seb’îne Fırkaten ve Ta‘dîdiha bi-Esmâihâ” olarak isimlendirilen risâle, Ebû’l-Kâsım Abdilvâhid b. Ahmed el-Kirmânî’ye nispet edilmiş olup 4.-5./10.-11. yüzyıllar içerisinde kaleme alındığı tahmin edilmektedir. Risâlenin içeriğinden müellifin Ashâbu’l-Hadîs çizgisine mensup olduğu anlaşılmaktadır. Çalışmamızda, Kirmânî’ye nispet edilen ve “73 fırka” hadisi eksenli olarak hazırlanan bu risâleyi farklı yönlerden inceleyerek değerlendirmeler yapmayı hedefledik. Bunun için risâlenin ilk önce İslâm Mezhepleri Tarihi bilimi içerisindeki yerini ele aldık. Arkasından risâlenin genel özellikleri hakkında bilgiler verdik. Daha sonra risâlenin tasnif sistemini ele alarak kendisinden önceki ve sonraki dönem eserleri ile karşılaştırmalı şekilde değerlendirmelerde bulunduk. Buna ilaveten risâlenin metodu ve içeriğinden bahsederek tercümesini ve yazma nüshalarını da metnin sonuna ilave ettik.
