Was Alois Riegl Colour Blind? 阿洛伊斯·里格尔是色盲吗?
Pub Date : 2022-08-31 DOI: 10.5617/clara.9806
B. Kiilerich
In his formalist art history, Alois Riegl (1858-1905) focuses on figure and ground, light and dark, and tactile versus optical features. Strangely, he shows little interest in colour. Thus, in Stilfragen (1893) and in Spätrömische Kunstindustrie (1901) artefacts and monuments are discussed as if they were fashioned in black and white. Even when describing mosaics and book illuminations, Riegl refrains from mentioning specific colours. In connection with baroque painting (Die Entstehung der Barockkunst in Rom, 1908) the almost total lack of colour description is even more striking. Although Riegl may have found form to be more objective than colour, and he also relied heavily on black and white reproductions, another explanation for his exclusion of chromatic features could be that he did not see colour well. The article proposes that Riegl may have been among the 8-10 per cent of males who suffer from colour vision deficiency.
在他的形式主义艺术史中,阿洛伊斯·里格尔(Alois Riegl, 1858-1905)专注于人物与地面、光与暗、触觉与光学特征。奇怪的是,他对颜色没什么兴趣。因此,在Stilfragen(1893)和Spätrömische Kunstindustrie(1901)中,人工制品和纪念碑被讨论得好像它们是黑白的。即使在描述马赛克和书籍装饰时,Riegl也避免提及特定的颜色。与巴洛克绘画(Die Entstehung der Barockkunst In Rom, 1908)有关,几乎完全缺乏色彩描述更是引人注目。虽然里格尔可能发现形式比色彩更客观,而且他也严重依赖黑白复制品,但他排除色彩特征的另一种解释可能是他看不清色彩。这篇文章提出,Riegl可能是8% - 10%患有色觉缺陷的男性之一。

CINTA KASIH SUAMI-ISTRI SEBAGAI FONDASI KEHIDUPAN KELUARGA KRISTIANI 夫妻的爱是基督徒家庭生活的基础
Pub Date : 2022-08-14 DOI: 10.54367/logos.v19i2.2108
Antonius Moa, Yordianus Pajo Hewen
The development of time which becoming more modern, exposes married couples to various opportunities and challenges to build Christian family life.  The development of the modern world which is marked by very rapid progress in the fields of science and technology not only has a very positive impact but also has a very negative impact on the realization of Christian family life.  The magnitude of the negative impact that has occurred has resulted in many Christian families, especially Christian husbands and wives, experiencing difficulties in realizing their essence as a communion of love.  Responding to situations like this, the Church is required to continuously proclaim and awaken Christian families, especially married couples, about the love of God as the basis, power, direction and goal of Christian family life.  Pope Francis through the Apostolic Exhortation Amoris Laetitia invites married couples as main actors in building a Christian family to always cultivate their love as the foundation of Christian family life.  Because the strength of the Christian family lies in the ability of married couples to experience and manifest and teach God's love in Christian family life.  That means, God's love which is manifested in the love of husband and wife becomes the determining foundation in building the Christian family as a communion of love.
时代的发展变得越来越现代,使已婚夫妇面临各种机会和挑战,以建立基督徒的家庭生活。以科学和技术领域的迅速进步为标志的现代世界的发展不仅对实现基督徒家庭生活产生了非常积极的影响,而且也产生了非常消极的影响。已经发生的严重的负面影响导致许多基督徒家庭,特别是基督徒的丈夫和妻子,在实现他们作为爱的共融的本质方面遇到困难。面对这样的情况,教会需要不断地宣讲和唤醒基督徒家庭,特别是已婚夫妇,神的爱是基督徒家庭生活的基础、力量、方向和目标。教宗方济各在《爱祢的爱》宗座劝谕中,邀请已婚夫妇作为建立基督徒家庭的主要角色,经常培养他们的爱,作为基督徒家庭生活的基础。因为基督徒家庭的力量在于已婚夫妇在基督徒家庭生活中体验、彰显和教导神的爱的能力。这意味着,上帝的爱,体现在丈夫和妻子的爱,成为决定性的基础,建立基督徒家庭作为一个共融的爱。

Good stories were part of the ancient world just as they are today. We find them occasionally transmitted in the extant sources from Classical Greece and Rome, but too seldom are they the subject of scholarly study. The book by Asplund Ingemark and Ingemark is an in-depth study of a limited number of key texts chosen on the basis of their oral origin, as well as their focus on fear. It analyses the function of these stories using an interdisciplinary approach.
好故事是古代世界的一部分,就像今天一样。我们发现它们偶尔在古典希腊和罗马的现存资料中流传,但它们很少成为学术研究的主题。这本由Asplund Ingemark和Ingemark合著的书是对有限数量的关键文本的深入研究,这些文本是根据它们的口头起源选择的,以及它们对恐惧的关注。它使用跨学科的方法来分析这些故事的功能。

Getting a Read on the Pandemic 了解大流行
Pub Date : 2022-07-18 DOI: 10.1163/18784712-03104032
Emma Ebert
This article explores the links between psychology – specifically, psychological needs, motivations, and coping mechanisms – and the sales of backlist titles during the COVID-19 pandemic. It shows how select titles on spirituality as well as The Boy, the Mole, the Fox and the Horse by Charlie Mackesy and Man’s Search for Meaning by Viktor E. Frankl help readers to attribute meaning to the pandemic and in turn, to cope with the struggles of the pandemic. The article concludes that such books are connected by their psychological value to readers – the psychological needs they fulfil – and that books from disparate genres and on varying topics can help readers cope in similar ways.
本文探讨了在2019冠状病毒病大流行期间,心理学(特别是心理需求、动机和应对机制)与备用书目销售之间的联系。它展示了精选的灵性书籍以及查理·麦克西的《男孩、鼹鼠、狐狸和马》和维克多·弗兰克尔的《人类对意义的探索》如何帮助读者赋予大流行意义,从而应对大流行的斗争。这篇文章的结论是,这些书是通过它们对读者的心理价值——它们满足的心理需求——联系在一起的,来自不同体裁和不同主题的书可以帮助读者以类似的方式应对。

Minority-Language Publishing 少数民族语言出版

Afrikaans is regarded as a peripheral language in the global polysystem of language, as well as a minority language in terms of the proportion of South Africa’s people who speak this language. In order to expand the market for Afrikaans trade books and to position Afrikaans literature internationally, there needs to be more visibility and resourcing, translation rights need to be sold, and South African publishing to be positively rebranded. This article explores the challenges and opportunities of Afrikaans publishing, applies polysystems theory as a theoretical framework, undertakes a comprehensive literature review, and discusses findings from interviews with trade publishers and observations at the Frankfurt Book Fair.
南非荷兰语在全球多语言系统中被视为边缘语言,在南非讲这种语言的人的比例方面也被视为少数民族语言。为了扩大南非荷兰语大众图书的市场,并在国际上定位南非荷兰语文学,需要更多的知名度和资源,翻译权需要出售,南非出版业需要积极地重新塑造品牌。本文探讨了南非荷兰语出版的挑战和机遇,应用多系统理论作为理论框架,进行了全面的文献综述,并讨论了对贸易出版商的采访和在法兰克福书展上的观察结果。

How can shared reading be used to develop community connectivity in the contemporary church? 在当代教会中,如何使用共享阅读来发展社区连通性?
Pub Date : 2022-07-18 DOI: 10.1163/18784712-03104031

This paper reports on a project to use, within church communities, previous experience in universities and schools of shared reading for the purposes of outreach, widening participation, and community inclusion. It outlines and explores the experience of selecting a book, and its subsequent discussion among a group of parishioners, to promote a sense of connectedness and belonging. The outcomes have implications for creating and strengthening links within existing church communities, reaching out to those who live locally but are not regular church attenders, and drawing others towards the church from the wider, not necessarily geographically local, community.
本文报告了一个项目,在教会社区内,利用以前在大学和学校的共享阅读经验,以扩大参与和社区包容。它概述并探讨了选择一本书的经历,以及随后在一群教区居民之间的讨论,以促进联系和归属感。其结果对建立和加强现有教会社区之间的联系,接触那些居住在当地但不经常参加教会活动的人,以及从更广泛的社区(不一定是地理上的本地社区)吸引其他人加入教会具有重要意义。

The Thursday Murder Club 星期四谋杀俱乐部
Pub Date : 2022-07-18 DOI: 10.1163/18784712-03104029
D. Barker, Cat Mitchell
In 2020, the Christmas book charts in the UK made headlines: Barack Obama’s eagerly awaited autobiography, The Promised Land, was beaten to the top spot by The Thursday Murder Club by Richard Osman, a debut cosy crime novel set in a retirement village. Not only did Osman’s book beat the former US president’s expected bestseller, it also broke records, becoming the fastest-selling debut crime novel of all time. Although Osman has a certain level of fame in the UK from his TV appearances on shows such as Pointless, his celebrity status does not entirely explain the novel’s huge sales. This article tracks the acquisition, publication, and promotion journey of The Thursday Murder Club in order to understand the industry and cultural context of its success and to interrogate the role of celebrity in the creation of author brands. The findings suggest that the unexpected scale of the success of the book owed to a number of factors, including in-depth editing by the novel’s agent, editor, and author to tighten up the plot, an extensive and strategic promotional campaign, the pandemic (which drove interest in the book’s genre and themes), and the quality of the writing. We find that the book’s success was accentuated by Osman’s celebrity status rather than being entirely reliant on it. This research adds to the growing scholarship on celebrity authorship by means of an in-depth case study and provides insight into the processes behind publishing a ‘celebrity’ book and launching a megabrand author.
2020年,英国圣诞图书排行榜成为头条新闻:巴拉克·奥巴马备受期待的自传《应许之地》被理查德·奥斯曼的处女作《周四谋杀俱乐部》击败,荣登榜首,这是一本以退休村为背景的温馨犯罪小说。奥斯曼的书不仅超过了美国前总统的预期畅销书,还打破了记录,成为有史以来销售最快的犯罪小说处女作。尽管奥斯曼在《无意义》等电视节目中亮相,在英国有一定程度的名气,但他的名人地位并不能完全解释这本小说的巨大销量。本文追踪了《周四谋杀俱乐部》的收购、出版和推广过程,以了解其成功的行业和文化背景,并探讨名人在作者品牌创造中的作用。研究结果表明,这本书的意外成功归功于许多因素,包括小说的经纪人、编辑和作者为加强情节而进行的深入编辑,广泛而战略性的宣传活动,大流行(这激发了人们对这本书的类型和主题的兴趣),以及写作的质量。我们发现,这本书的成功不是完全依赖于奥斯曼的名人地位,而是得益于他的名人地位。这项研究通过深入的案例研究,增加了关于名人作者的学术研究,并提供了出版“名人”书籍和推出超级作家背后的过程。
