Mitä sen uusissa labroissa puuhastellaan jää aika hämäräx. Käsitetyötä, ei siis käsityötä, eikä käsityölehtiä. Meemejä tutkitaan uusilla ovelilla tavoilla, niin ainakin rahoittajille luvataan. Eihän ne mitään ymmärrä kuitenkaan. Se nyysii Foucaultilta, toiselta rättikauppiaalta, History of the Present, ja tekee siitä Anthropology of the Contemporary. Vähemmän iskevä, mun miälestä. Sehän plagioi kuin Zizek, paizi ei izeään, vaan Foucaultia. Kunnon lipilaaristi se haluu osottaa et nykyisyys on rahanheittoa, ja sixi tulevaisuuskin voi olla mitä tahansa. Kovasti ähkäisten se äkistää ulos tän neronleimauxen: contemporary “is a moving ratio of modernity, moving through the recent past and near future in a (non-linear) space. Eli vähän vanhaa, vähän uutta, vähän lainattua, vähän sinistä. Bravo Polle! Sä teit sen! Mikä pukerrus! Tais peräpukamat olla kovilla!
ellauri053.html on line 820: Prince Dwarkanath Tagore, my great-grandfather, was a romantic figure. Contemporary of Rammohan Roy, the Father of the Renaissance Movement of Bengal, he was closely associated with him in all his activities and rendered financial help when- ever required. The East India Company were by this time firmly established in Bengal and were rapidly building up their trade. Dwarkanath’s knowledge of English helped him to take advantage of the conditions prevailing under the Company’s rule and he was able at quite an early age not only to amass a fortune but also to gain high offices under the British. With Rammohan Roy he took a leading part in all the movements for the promotion of higher education and social welfare. There was hardly any institution founded during his life-time that did not owe its existence to the generous charity of Dwarkanath. He came to be known as Prince Dwarkanath in recognition of his benefactions. His business enterprises extended to fields unexplored by Indians in those days. He had a fleet of cargo boats for trading between India and England. To improve his business connections and gain further concessions from the Company, he himself went to England accompanied by his youngest son, Nagendranath. I have had occasion to read the diary kept by this grand-uncle of mine. It describes vividly and in very chaste English the social life Of the aristocracy of England in the early Victorian age as seen through the eyes of an Indian. There is also an interesting description of his adventurous journey across the country from Bombay to Calcutta at a time when India was in a very disturbed condition on the eve of the Sepoy Mutiny.

As a poet, short story writer, journalist and novelist, Rudyard Kipling described the British colonial empire in positive terms, which made his poetry popular in the British Army. Contemporary Great Britain appreciated him for his depictions of the British colony of India. The Jungle Book (1894) has made him known and loved by children throughout the world, especially thanks to Disney’s 1967 film adaptation.

Vuonna 1908 hän meni naimisiin Elisabethin, tiedättehän, taiteilija Franz von Pausingerin tyttären kanssa Salzburgista Itävallasta, ja palattuaan Amerikkaan aloitti työnsä Pennsylvanian yliopistossa, jossa hän toimi opettajana ja apulaisprofessorina vuoteen 1916, jolloin erosi tehdäxeen kirjallista työtä. Mr. Storkin ensimmäinen tunnetuksi tullut säekirja oli "Meri ja lahti", 1916. Sen jälkeen hän on kääntänyt paljon ruotsin ja saksan kielestä, tehden ihailtavia käännöksiä Gustaf Frödingistä, 1916, sekä monista muista never heardeista teokseen "Ruotsalaiset runoilijat", jonka teoksen hän julkaisi nimellä "Anthology of Swedish Lyrics", 1917. Hän on sittemmin tehnyt käännöksen "Selected Poems of Verner Von Heidenstam", Nobel-palkinnon saaja 1916. Ruotsalaisen runouden lisäksi hän on tehnyt erinomaisen esitys itävaltalaisen sanoittajan Hofmansthalin sanoituksista. Mr. Stork on toimittaja ja omistaja lehdykälle 'Contemporary Verse', joka on omistautunut nykyisen ryhmän runoudelle Amerikassa. Toinen kokoelma hänen omista säkeistä ilmestyy siinä pian.

He is best known for his critiques of both philosophic rationalism and positivism. His work advocated a movement beyond reason and metaphysics, arguing that these are incapable of conclusively establishing truth about ultimate problems, including the nature of God or existence. Contemporary scholars have associated his work with the label "anti-philosophy.

Maria Felicia Malibran (24 March 1808 – 23 September 1836) was a Spanish singer who commonly sang both contralto and soprano parts, and was one of the best-known opera singers of the 19th century. Malibran was known for her stormy personality and dramatic intensity, becoming a legendary figure after her death in Manchester, England, at age 28.

One of the highlights of my recent trip to Odesa, discussed here on the blog, was a visit to the literary museum, which houses a small collection of Anna Akhmatova’s work. The statuesque Russian poet, melancholic lover and resolute witness to the Stalinist and Putinist terrors, was born near Odesa and spent her childhood summers in the region. The display included a palm-sized booklet of the long poem ‘Close to the Sea’, or as my host translated, ‘very close’: an intimate relationship. I looked it up in The Complete Poems when I got home and assumed it must be ‘By the Edge of the Sea’. The ballad of a fierce young woman willing the arrival of her beloved from the waves, the poem was too long for the workshop and extracts would not do it justice. A shame, I thought, setting down the 950 page book, which promptly fell open to:
