‘Unwanted But Needed’ In South Africa: Post Pandemic Imaginations On Black Immigrant Entrepreneurs Owning Spaza Shops

Author(s): Sadhana Manik / Language(s): English / Publication Year: 0

This chapter is an attempt to imagine the policy environment and socio-economic spaces of what a post pandemic SA could be for immigrant small/micro business entrepreneurs, who are owners of ‘spaza’ shops. I present a focused gaze for this sub set of immigrants (developing the informal economy in SA) who have been experiencing a cornucopia of challenges pre-pandemic and during the pandemic based on their status as immigrant entrepreneurs, the most pronounced of which has been xenophobia which is cocooned within the explicit aim of purging South Africa of immigrants. It is for this reason that I trace the realities of the landscape pre COVID-19 and during the pandemic before offering up three ‘imaginations’ (O’Tuathail, 1996) as possibilities for the future of immigrant spaza shop owners. I draw on existing securitization policies, political utterances and practices, socio-economic events and immigrants’ experiences in post- apartheid South Africa which has created particular ‘auras’ ( Roy, 2005) and anti-immigrant discourses that provide some insights into what a post pandemic future could be.

„Ego librarista”. Działalność Jana Ze Skawiny jako bibliotekarza na Wydziale Prawa Uniwersytetu Krakowskiego

Author(s): Wojciech Świeboda / Language(s): Polish / Issue: 113/2020

The article is devoted to the figure of Jan of Skawina (†1520), a doctor and professor of canon law, librarian of the Faculty of Law of the University of Krakow. Although he was not one of the leading or distinguished figures from among the group of Polish scholars at the turn of the 15th and 16th centuries and his scientific legacy has not been preserved, he nevertheless showed particular zeal, as the guardian of the library book collection, for the other professors who held the position of librarian. Between 1501 and 1515 he obtained and systematized many works on the subject of law or preaching for the benefit of the faculty library, which were intended as aids to professors and law students. In retrospect, an invaluable achievement of the scholar from Kraków was inserting notes indicating that the manuscripts belonged to the collection of the Law College. These notes not only allow the codes to be assigned unambiguously to the Collegium Iuridicum library, but also inform about the previous owners and about the method and date of obtaining a given copy. Out of 46 preserved medieval books of the Faculty of Law, 39 have notes inscribed by his hand. Jan of Skawina was not only a book keeper but also a donor of several manuscripts. Owing to his efforts, several professors of law and members of Jan’s family passed on their books in their will to the Faculty of Law. In the face of the tragic fire of the Collegium Iuridicum building in 1455, Jan of Skawina’s efforts to acquire new works facilitated a partial reconstruction of the jurist library. These were mainly legal and theological works, which could serve as an aid to the work of preaching. A casual review of the works in the book collection of the Faculty of Law allows us to conclude that the selection of the letters obtained or offered by Jan of Skawina was not accidental. Seemingly modest testimonies of Jan of Skawina’s activity as a librarian turn out to be invaluable for learning about the resources and organization of the library of the Law College. The notes he has included in his manuscripts are a very important source of information about the medieval Faculty of Law of the University of Kraków. They also prove that the position of librarian did not have to be treated by university professors as a burden, but could be seen as a kind of distinction. Jan of Skawina held a number of important church and university posts, and yet he wrote about himself modestly, but with pride, using the term ‘librarista’.

„Zeszyty Naukowe Katolickiego Uniwersytetu Lubelskiego” jako czasopismo uniwersyteckie

Author(s): Grzegorz Misiura / Language(s): Polish / Issue: 113/2020

The subject of the article is the analysis of the journal ‘Zeszyty Naukowe Katolickiego Uniwersytetu Lubelskiego’ (Scientific Journals of the Catholic University of Lublin) until 2018, that is throughout 60 years of its publication. It was conceived as a presentation of research results of people connected with the university (researchers, students, graduates), as well as a record of events taking place at the university, both inside and outside its walls, through the scientific conference activities of its employees. The circumstances surrounding the creation of the journal are presented, as well as the composition of the editorial committee, which decided on the shape of the individual issues. The analysis was mainly focused on the ‘Articles’ section, which presented scientific achievements. The results are presented in a quantitative way and in percentage distribution, which seems understandable when presenting such extensive source material. It was also pointed out that ‘Zeszyty Naukowe KUL’ is a source of information for research on the history of the university, as it contains a separate section for recording events. Currently, the journal still retains its interdisciplinary character, despite the change of its profile – instead of presenting the achievements of the academic staff of the Catholic University of Lublin, it presents the achievements of authors also from outside this circle.

Ценка Йорданова: „Музикалната идея І”

Author(s): Kristina Yapova / Language(s): Bulgarian / Issue: 3/2015

The reviewed book includes studies representative of the author’s area of research interests, which have been published in Bulgarian academic journals over the last decade. In terms of their contents, three groups of issues are discernible: the first one, which is also the main, is on the twentieth-century New Music. This issue is treated in: On truth and method in the twentieth-century New Music; Ideologemes at the turning point of the twentieth-century New Music; The twentieth-century New Music on the horizon of two leading thematic projects of Modernity: Fragments; Dichotomies and polarizations in Schoenberg’s holistic autonomous and terminological system and The concept Musical Idea (musikalischer Gedanke) in Schoenberg: an attempt for interpretative reading. The second group of issues is outlined through the construction by the author of a new area in musicology: the study The paramusical sphere as a subject field of semiotics. The third group is related to those of the phenomena generated by the post-modern culture that fit into the general term World Music: the study The World Music concept and the ethnocentric model. Being various and even establishing relations of opposing to each other, the phenomena subject to description and exploration in the three categories, are united by Yordanova’s general view and the approach related to it. This view is beyond doubt musicological, in a fundamental sense though. In it, musicology expands its philosophic horizons in order to bring up not only theoretical issues of musicology, but also those of the men of music. Within such horizons, the author goes beyond the boundaries of the aesthetical subject of music, referring to beauty, to study it as a language capable to speak of the truth of existence.

Церковно-славянские памятники в библиотеках василианских монастырей

Author(s): Irena Wodzianowska / Language(s): Russian / Issue: 5-6/2015

The study closely traces the fate of Church Slavonic monuments in the collections of the Basilian monasteries since the establishment of the Order of the Basilians in 1617 to the period of socialism. A full quantitative and thematic characterization of the manuscripts and books preserved until today is presented against the background of historical events. The author argues that the collections of the Basilian libraries are unique in character and represent a kind of synthesis between western and eastern traditions.
