The aim of the work is the analysis of translations of Herbert's poems into English by Miłosz with a focus on preserving the so-called roughness of his style. This term encompasses non-obvious and awkward structures, which, according to Miłosz, were one of the most important elements of Herbert's style and, therefore, needed to be present in the English versions. The text contains a comparative analysis of two poems by Herbert: "Elegy of Fortinbras" and "Apollo and Marsyas," with their translations into English. The translations were compared with the originals, taking into account their general form, the vocabulary, and the syntax. The analysis of vocabulary and syntax showed that to maintain the style of the original, the translator changed places where literary roughness was present. The translations into English were also more conventional and rooted more in European culture (while Polish contexts were moved to the background). One can thus conclude that the idea of spreading Polish literature across other cultures was more important for Miłosz than the translation of literary roughness. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Claude-Jacques Herbert's Essay on the general police of grain (Essai sur la police générale des grains) has particular features that could have enabled it to make a crucial contribution to the gradual conversion of French public opinion to free trade at the end of 1753. First, the essay is an explicit criticism of Delamare's Treatise on the police (Traité de la police) and of the French regulations of the grain trade. Against them, Herbert promotes new principles grounded on a specific conception of free trade and on the central role played by prices in economics. Reviewing these elements, we may suppose that the success of Herbert's Essay can also be explained by the conceptions it proposes. These could indeed have been approved both by the proponents of internal and moderate free trade and those of total freedom. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The essay introduces a new and important source for the Old English glossing of Aldhelm's De virginitate in the manuscript Brussels, Royal Library 1650, namely the Grammar/Glossary of the Anglo-Saxon writer Ælfric. The glossators' cooperative working methods are analyzed, and identities are suggested for the two most productive scribes, one of whom is shown to be a native speaker of the French language.

Multi-task learning (MTL) has been successfully utilized in numerous NLP tasks, including sequence labeling. In this work, we utilize three transformer-based models (XLM-R, HerBERT, mBERT) to improve recognition quality using MTL for selected low-resource language (Polish) and three disjoint sequence labeling tasks with different levels of inter-annotator agreement. Our best MTL model outperforms single-task models both within the tasks domain and overall performance. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This essay discusses labor in the poetry of Ben Jonson and engages some notable recent critical assessments of Jonson's labor as a concept determined by material production. Contemporaries, such as John Donne, often drew attention to Jonson's "labor" as he himself does in a Latin phrase on the frontispiece of the 1616 folio. What did he mean by it? The characteristic integration of labor that Jonson exhibits in both his poetic practice and persona was tied to a foundational idea that he received and developed from translation of Horace's "Art of Poetry." Rather than determined by market forces and the like, the multiplex meanings and contexts that Jonson can be seen to associate with labor suggests that it was a concept he received from classical and medieval writers who emphasized that both the material and spiritual ends of poetry were equally important. Poets such as Milton, Robert Southwell, and Herbert also display similar ideas tied to labor. A discussion of Hercules' Labors in Pleasure Reconciled to Virtue, in which Jonson draws attention to the relationship between virtue, labor, and happiness, as well as demonstrates his familiarity with the association medieval writers made between labor and the labyrinth, concludes the essay.

The Italian endemic Crocus biflorus usually shows white or lilac flowers with three-to-five striking violet longitudinal stripes on the outer tepals, but unstriped plants were recorded in the past. These plants were originally described as C. annulatus subvar. estriatus, and subsequently recombined as a variety of C. biflorus. The rediscovery of such plants in Toscana gave us the opportunity to clarify their systematic relationships, so that we typified the name, and performed karyological and ITS analyses. These plants share the same chromosome number (2n = 2x = 8) and ITS sequence with C. biflorus s. str. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In 1889 the Pre-Raphaelite artist Frederic Shields (1833-1911) received a commission to paint the walls of a chapel in London. The patron, Emelia Gurney (1823-1896), was a devout Christian who envisaged a non-denominational place of worship and reflection, a place of refuge from the accelerated pace of the industrial age. The building, located just off Hyde Park in the Bayswater section of London, was designed by the architect Herbert Horne (1864-1916) and was based on Italian quattrocento ecclesiastical design. The interior walls were covered in a rich iconographical program conceived jointly by patron and artist. The pictorial narrative, painted in high Renaissance style, emphasized the theme of salvation and can be understood as a direct response to the fragmentation of religious practice and belief taking place in Britain at the time. This article is an investigation of the Chapel's painted pedagogy. Completed in 1910, the building was bombed during the Blitz and is no longer standing. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Two texts about the pain of the other. Two convalescent mothers in hospital beds, two sons sitting in chairs next to their beds. Two sons writing in first person in order to escape the pain, with the simple difference that one of them uses his own name to do it and the other chooses to modify it. In this article I propose a parallel reading of Jorge Baron Biza's El desierto y su semilla [Desert Seeds] and Julián Herbert's Canción de tumba [Tomb Song], to examine the use of the proper name in both. In the analysis of the ambiguity between autobiography and novel, I ask questions about the use of the proper name in the two texts, in order, first of all, to establish the way in which the term "autofiction" operates; and secondly, to point, in each case, to the singularity of the narrative voice through this technique that creates tension between remembrance and memory.

Against the background of the Deweyan tradition of Democracy and Education, we discuss problems of complexity and reductionism in education and educational philosophy. First, we investigate some of Dewey's own criticisms of reductionist tendencies in the educational traditions, theories, and practices of his time. Secondly, we explore some important cases of reductionism in the educational debates of our own day and argue that a similar criticism in behalf of democracy and education is appropriate and can easily be based on Deweyan terms. Thirdly, we draw some more general conclusions about complexity and reductionism as challenges for democracy and education. Among other things, we argue that powerful social tendencies of capitalist competition and social Darwinism support reductionisms in education and put the democratic project at risk. The tensional relation between democracy and capitalism constitutes a major challenge for educational philosophy in our own time as much as in Dewey's. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In Empedocles' zoogony, an original set of single-specialism organisms - solitary hands, eyes, etc. - combined into complex organisms, of which the fittest survived. A less recognized anticipation of (one strand of) the Darwinian tradition relates to the superorganism theory: what is naturally selected for is not the individual and/or its kin, but, as most manifestly in insect colonies, the cooperative group. Empedocles' Love likewise works by promoting co-operation, whose emergence in complex organisms reflects her growing power, and the periodic world-organism, Sphairos, her ultimate triumph. This latter divinity is not a homogeneous blend of the elements, but a single self-sufficient superorganism. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper comparative analysis of poetic works of Zbigniew Herbert and Miodrag Pavlović concerning the duality between culture and barbarism is being presented. The opposition between these two categories is present in both author's poetry but they use it in slightly diff erent ways. In Herbert's poetry, as interpreted by Stanisław Barańczak, there is a relation between "heritage" and "disinheritance" that appears on various levels: geographic, historic and cognitive. The lyrical subject of the poems gets a feeling of an internal confl ict, as he feels both connected to the world of European culture and separated from it, partly because of the war and totalitarian experience of the 20th century. In the poetry of Miodrag Pavlović there is a confrontation between the pagan, nature-bonded Slavs and the Greek, Christian culture of Byzantium. The two worlds are the roots the poet reaches to in search of the true nature of 'Balkan people'. For both poets the duality of culture and barbarism can be considered a symbol of internal tension that characterises a human being who belongs to the two worlds and lives between them.

The paper means to investigate the poetic rewritings of the traditional Imitatio Christi written by metaphysical poets John Donne (1572-1631) and George Herbert (1593-1633) during the religious crisis and the eucharistic debates still affecting English culture and society in the seventeenth century. To this aim, textual analyses are developed exploiting the hermeneutic possibilities offered by two ideas from René Girard’s theory of mimetic desire: the triangularity of desire and the Scapegoat mechanism as origin of sacrifice. This approach provides new insights into Donne’s Songs and Sonnets and George Herbert's The Temple, and namely the recurrence of religious triangulations in which Christ plays the role of "internal" mediator, arousing desires of replacement and rivalry. These triangulations ground on and allude to the lowering of Christ's divine figure caused by the religious crisis, and contextually reveal the desire to compensate, at least in the space of the poetical language, the threatened loss of his Real Presence.

The paper presents results of a theoretical investigation, which focuses on the possibility of survival of Education ideal in the technological society, according to the Herbert Marcuse's contributions, whose axis is the body place in the contemporary society. According to him, the excessive importance granted to the technique weakens the subjective formation. The emphasis on the middles makes us forget the ends and does not lead to understanding, knowledge and emancipation, but eclipses this process. Marcuse points out the presence of such technical mastery over the subjects and bodies, so replacement education and politics by repressive desublimation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

George Herbert's writing of the body often involved attention to its specific parts, in common with many Renaissance writers, and the eyes receive special attention in his verse. His second 1610 New Year's Sonnet, "Frailtie", and "Vanitie (II)" all respond to the conventional approaches to the eyes conventional from early modern love poetry, portraying the "fair eyes" as prime method of deception. Meanwhile, "Conscience" and "Miserie" both portray the failure of the eyes as an organ of perception in especially graphic terms, as a physical object that can be frustratingly "lost". Attention to these moments demonstrates how Herbert is a significant poet of the body. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article discusses Czesław Miłosz as a poet-translator of the poetry of his younger colleagues: Herbert, Różewicz and Szymborska. The comparative analysis focuses on such features largely neglected in translation studies as Polish-English linguistic asymmetries and the poetics of grammar, that is, the functions of definite, indefinite and zero articles, verbs and their aspects, personal pronouns as well as the auxillary verb jest/is. Whereas some of these items cannot be translated adequately, because they cause an aesthetic loss in any translation, others allow for adequate, sometimes even“optimal,” translation.

'Herbert Heaton and Five Principles of the Yorkshire Coal-Miners'. Herbert Heaton, born in 1890, was the son of a Yorkshire coal-miner. He obtained his schooling with scholarships from the age of twelve, including an undergraduate career at the University of Leeds. He went on to become a leading economic historian. He taught on three Continents, spending the last thirty years of his career at the University of Minnesota in the United States. His father was not only a coal-miner, but also a lay preacher in the Primitive Methodist Church and active in the governance of his local co-operative. Heaton wrote and lectured about five principles he had learned and adopted as his own, growing up in the Yorkshire coalfields. The five principles reflect how many coal-miners before 1914 believed economic and social justice could be achieved. While the miners changed their beliefs after 1918, Heaton, who never lived in Britain after 1914, retained the Yorkshire principles of his youth. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
