De curînd a plecat pe drumul fără întoarcere cel ce a fost Iulian Antonesc. Este incredibil, dar aşa a fost să fie.

Rifa‘at ‘Ali Abou-El-Haj (1933-2022), a scholar of the Early Modern Ottoman Empire, completed a Ph.D. in Princeton University’s Departments of Oriental Studies and History in 1963. A key member of a generation of scholars who challenged a Euro-American dominated academy and its study of the Middle East, Dr. Abou-El-Haj spent the majority of his teaching career at California State University, Long Beach. For over 50 year, Abou-El-Haj critically engaged scholars working on the early modern Ottoman state and society via publications such as The 1703 Rebellion and the Structure of Ottoman Politics (Leiden: Brill, 1984; translated into Turkish in 2011) and Formation of the Modern State: The Ottoman Empire, Sixteenth to Eighteenth Centuries (Albany: SUNY University Press, (1991; in translated into Turkish in 2018)

The United States Supreme Court is one of the most traditional institutions in the United States of America, and one that, up to until fairly recently (1981), has been closed to women. In this tribute, I recall my interview with the second woman ever to be appointed to the Supreme Court, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, who died this year. Ginsburg, who has been described as the legal architect of the women’s movement, was born in Brooklyn, New York to a middle-class family. Her mother, who Ruth greatly admired did not have the advantage of education, but nonetheless encouraged Ruth to develop herself intellectually, and she did – winning a scholarship to Cornell University and then moving on to Harvard and graduating from Columbia School of Law. She was unable to find a job as a lawyer upon graduation because law firms were simply not hiring women, so she joined the faculty at Rutgers Law School and co-founded the Women’s Rights Project of the American Civil Liberties Union. She began arguing sex discrimination cases in front of the United States Supreme Court and developed a national reputation for her excellence. Ruth Bader Ginsburg joined the faculty at Columbia School of Law and, in 1980, was appointed by President Carter to the Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia. At the time, there were only eight women on any of the federal courts. In 1993, President Bill Clinton nominated Ruth Bader Ginsburg to the Supreme Court, recognizing her reputation as a talented judge, her role as one of the foremost legal advocates for women’s rights, and her potential to build consensus on the Supreme Court. In her later years, she would become a cultural icon, popular with young people, a phenomenon that surprised her. Through her immense intellect, bravery, humanity and careful, persistent communication, Ruth Bader Ginsburg advanced her mission of gender equality and changed the lives of the American people, and American society.

U julu mjesecu ove godine umro je jedan od najznačajnijih savremenih filmskih autora - Abbas Kiarostami. Iza sebe je ostavio obimnu filmografiju, ali nedovršenu i nedorečenu, kao što je i u većini svojih filmova ostavljao praznine i otvorene krajeve, kako bi gledalac u te filmove mogao upisati svoje viđenje. Kiarostami je studirao slikarstvo i grafički dizajn na Univerzitetu u Teheranu, a karijeru je počeo snimajući reklame za iransku televiziju, dizajnirajući plakate i ilustrirajući knjige za djecu.

Der Rückblick auf die vielseitige Laufbahn und die herausragenden wissenschaftlichen Ergebnisse von Klára Póczy ist mir eine ehrenvolle Aufgabe. Ich kann es tun, da ich die uns so teure Forscherin, Kollegin, Lehrerin, Klára, oder für so viele Bekannte: Tante Klári, seit etwa fünfzig Jahren kenne. Gestatten Sie mir, diesen Rückblick mit einer persönlichen Erinnerung zu beginnen. Klára Póczy hielt uns, Studenten, Vorlesungen über Materialkunde im Károlyi-Palast.
