When Night Passes and When Day Breaks – Between the Past and the Present. Borderlines of Holocaust in Filip David’s Works
2017
Podstawowym celem tekstu jest analiza najnowszej tworczości Filipa Davida, autora nagrodzonej Nagrodą Tygodnika NIN („Nedeljne Informativne Novine") powieści Dom pamięci i zapomnienia (2014, Kuća sećanja i zabovrava). Z jednej strony twórczość serbskiego prozaika interesować nas będzie jako kontynuacja i reprezentacja współczesnego dyskursu na temat Holokaustu w Serbii. Z drugiej zaś – przyjrzymy się jego literackiej realizacji. Na przykładzie losów głównych bohaterów powieści (dzieci, które przeżyły Zagładę) pokażemy, gdzie przebiega rysowana przez autora granica istnienia Shoah w ich życiu. Na ile i w jaki sposób przeszłość wpływa na ich teraźniejszość, gdzie przebiega granica pamięci, ni…
Pierwszy prezydent. Kształtowanie obrazu Gabriela Narutowicza w pamięci i świadomości historycznej społeczeństwa polskiego. Kilka przykładów z tysiąca
2021
Celem artykułu jest przedstawienie działań podejmowanych na rzecz upamiętnienia postaci Gabriela Narutowicza, pierwszego prezydenta w historii Polski i związanego z tym procesu kształtowania jego wizerunku w pamięci i świadomości historycznej Polaków. Gabriel Narutowicz wybrany na urząd prezydenta w grudniu 1922 r. został zamordowany przez Eligiusza Niewiadomskiego, zaledwie tydzień po elekcji i drugim dniu urzędowania. Śmierć głowy państwa była kulminacją ostrej walki politycznej, która toczyła się na polskiej scenie politycznej w 1922 r. Bezpośrednio po zabójstwie, prezydent G. Narutowicz stał się dla części środowisk politycznych w Drugiej Rzeczypospolitej symboliczną ofiarą polskiego na…
Crossing the borders. Tourist trips abroad in the biographies of Polish travellers
2016
The purpose of the present article is a brief presentation of the results of sociological research, which attempts to answer the question of how to construct memories of the moments of crossing state borders by the Poles in the years 1956 - 2012. The main time caesura is 1989. That exact date is a political boundary of the conditions of life of the Poles (from real socialistic to capitalistic). The theoretical frame of insight into the world of tourist trips of the Poles is sociological phenomenology of Alfred Schutz, and the chosen methodological approach – the biographical prospect. The research was conducted using qualitative interview (episodic) on a sample of 40 people, were travelling…
Un fantasme enfantin et une autobiographie dans "W ou le souvenir d'enfance" de Georges Perec
2019
Georges Perec builds his autobiographical memory narration out of two texts. The first of them contains fragmentary pictures of childhood of a Jewish boy orphaned in the occupation. The second one is an imaginary, consistently built picture of an olympic city more and more horrifying the reader because of ruthlessness of rules which exist there.The text comments child’s experiences allowing better understanding of his feelings and emotions.
Territory and memory: The Landing of the Allies in Sicily in 1943
2012
The concept of memory (memorial site) has gained crucial importance in recent years for the identification of places (areas) and in the affirmation of local identities. The memorial sites are areas where usually tragic events have occurred and resulted in a cultural change. In these places there are still signs of these historical events and/or tangible and intangible indications created by the society such as: monuments, obelisks, marble inscriptions, others. Sicily represents an ideal area for studying memorial sites; not only because of the number of dominations in the past centuries, but also for the significance of all places where the mafia has taken its root. These elements have caus…
Characterisation of the Degree of Musical Non-Markovianity
2022
As an aid for musical analysis, in computational musicology mathematical andinformatics tools have been developed to characterise quantitatively some aspectsof musical compositions. A musical composition can be attributed by ear a certainamount of memory. These results are associated with repetitions and similarities ofthe patterns in musical scores. To higher variations, a lower amount of memory isperceived. However, the musical memory of a score has never been quantitativelydefined. Here we aim to give such a measure following an approach similar tothat used in physics to quantify the memory (non-Markovianity) of open quantumsystems. We apply this measure to some existing musical composit…
Ecophysiological and molecular processes involved in water stress memory in pea: from gene expression regulation to plant hydromineral nutrition
2022
Climate change induces increasingly frequent periods of water deficits during the crop cycle. These periods of water stress negatively impact the plant, notably by limiting the availability of resources (water, mineral elements) and by limiting carbon fixation by the plant. In this context, several studies highlighted the beneficial effect of “priming” of a first stress on the response to a second stress by the induction of a transcriptional memory. This memory depends on epigenetic modifications implemented during the first stress. These modifications can regulate the expression of genes known as “memory genes” which have been characterized in the aerial parts of Arabidospsis and maize. Ho…
Episodic memory in healthy ageing. A special issue of the journal Memory
2009
International audience; A characteristic feature of the aging process is a decline in episodic memory, that form of memory related to a particular time and place in an individual’s personal history. This volume gathers together articles by leaders in the field exploring aging and episodic memory in healthy adults. These articles provide interesting and novel findings on different aspects of episodic memory, including patterns of decline and sparing, heterogeneity in older adults’ memory performance, and cognitive and non-cognitive factors that potentially improve older adults’ memory performance. This volume presents a state of the art account of episodic memory function in older adults.

Graafiset salasanat ovat lupaava vaihtoehto alfanumeeriselle autentikaatiolle. Älypuhelinten ja muiden korkea resoluutioisten kosketusnäytöllisten laitteiden määrä on kasvussa ja alfanumeeriset salasanat ovat kehitetty alun perin näppäimistölle syötettäviksi. Tarkkuutta vaativa kirjoittaminen ei tällöin ole välttämättä käyttäjälle kaikkein mielekkäintä. Graafisia ja alfanumeerisia salasanoja on tutkittu muistin toiminnan sekä käytettävyyden näkökulmasta. Tutkielma on tehty kirjallisuuden pohjalta käyttäen apuna erilaisia tieteellisia julkaisuja sisältäviä tietokantoja, kuten IEE Explore ja ACM Digital Library - tietokantoja. Tutkielman tarkoituksena oli kuvata ja tutkia tieteellisten artikk…
heritage and culture as instruments of qualification of urban spaces : the case of the Musée Urbain Tony Garnier
2014
International audience; In this essay we will bring up the question of designing atypical objects, in this case, social housing, as cultural heritage. The continuing process of development of western cities raises new questions concerning division of living-areas produces districts of mixed populations, together with phenomena of social differentiation. Heritage and culture are henceforward tools for distinguishing social spaces and the groups of the associations movement unceasingly produces new heritage-artefacts, sometimes in contradiction with the administrative services of universe of heritage, and the concept of public good is in a certain way made use of in growing phenomena of urban…
