Former students of the Riga Polytechnicum and Riga Polytechnic Institute (1862–1919) – literary workers
2018
The authors of the article have gathered literary works of poets and writers – former students of Riga Polytechnicum (RP) and Riga Polytechnic institute (RPI), and have characterized them. Several Latvian and foreign literary workers have studied at the institute. Only six of them – Alfrēds Andersons, Jānis Bergs, Rihards Ērglis, Ernests Eferts, Jānis Miķelsons and Arvīds Valdmanis – received diplomas in engineering after graduating from Departments of Engineering, Commerce and Agriculture. A. Valdmanis has written course books and literary works. Latvian poet Jānis Poruks and Russian writer Mihail Prishvin (Михаил Михаилович Пришвин) have also studied at the institute, but just like few ot…
Return Visits: The European Background of Transcultural Life Writing
2013
In this article I read autobiographies by East Europeans who immigrated to Canada in connection with the Second World War as examples of transcultural life writing. My focus on the representation of return visits of these loyal Canadian citizens to their country of origin after 1989 reveals the underlying intention of relating the experience of life in a multicultural democratic society to the emergence of a new political consciousness in Eastern Europe. In my analysis I distinguish four types of concerns which try to bridge the past of their childhood experiences with the formation of a transcultural life in the 21st century: 1. Anna Porter’s return visit to Hungary for family reunion and …
Learning from the Past : The Women Writers Project and Thirty Years of Humanities Text Encoding
2017
In recent years, intensified attention in the humanities has been paid to data: to data modeling, data visualization, “big data”. The Women Writers Project has dedicated significant effort over the past thirty years to creating what Christoph Schöch calls “smart clean data”: a moderate-sized collection of early modern women’s writing, carefully transcribed and corrected, with detailed digital text encoding that has evolved in response to research and changing standards for text representation. But that data—whether considered as a publication through Women Writers Online, or as a proof of the viability of text encoding approaches like those expressed in the Text Encoding Initiative (TEI) Gu…
Modelos de transmisión textual de los sermones de San Vicente Ferrer: la tradición manuscrita
2019
El presente artículo se propone reconstruir el proceso de escrituración de los sermones predicados por Vicente Ferrer. En la tradición textual manuscrita se pueden distinguir: las colecciones de esquemas y las que transcriben los sermones in extenso, fruto de la reelaboración de las notas tomadas por los reportadores. Se estudia, asimismo, el contenido literario de algunos manuscritos, aquellos en los que se propone la edición para todo el año como la redacción tolosana, con los volúmenes de tempore y de sanctis, o las colecciones dedicadas a un tiempo litúrgico determinado; se incluyen igualmente otros manuscritos que presentan series derivadas de algunas campañas de predicación.
How to Become an Author: The Poet Isa Asp and Her Childhood Fascination with Writing for Magazines
2021
In this article the author explores the early development of the identity as a writer of a Finnish-speaking poet Lovisa (or Isa) Asp (1853–1872). She wrote her lyrics in the Finnish language in the 1870s, and she is regarded as the first 19th-century female Finnish poet (whose works were published in Finnish). She began writing poetry (initially in Swedish) as a teenager and started her literary career as a contributor to children’s magazines. Asp began her studies at the Teacher Training College in Jyväskylä in autumn 1871 with the aim of working as an elementary school teacher, but she also dreamt of becoming an established writer someday. Unfortunately, her early death meant that most of…
A Modern-Day Diary : Notes for Future Humans
2021
Abstract Time and being can be seen as a space. A modern-day diary is a way of exploring that space or state of being. Outlining and shaping it requires word, image and imagination. The question is framed cultural-philosophically, and the mode of writing is poetic essayism. Otherwise, the creative untangling and differentiation of the poetics of lived space is not possible. After all, the goal is to combine science and art and weave them into the same reflective fabric. The essential aspects include thoughts about the fullness and filling of something, about its fulfilment. Then the present moment is not seen as marking a boundary in just one direction: it is not just an endpoint of the pas…
Fiesta pública y memorialística en la Barcelona barroca
2018
Una de les eines més efectives per poder conèixer amb més detall els esdeveniments de la història és la memorialística. Mitjançant l’estudi d’aquests testimonis de primera mà, ara som capaços d’esbrinar els interessos i les preocupacions del conjunt de la societat en cada període històric. Aquest article pretén descriure el funcionament general de la memorialística i les característiques dels dietaris més concretament. A través de l’estudi de dietaris institucionals catalans però també d’altres de caire privat, duts a terme per autors particulars, desgranem els detalls de la festa barroca de la ciutat comtal i entenem com els esdeveniments més rellevants afectaven la seua quotidianitat i la…
