In this paper, we propose a ‘minimal digital pedagogy’ that applyies the principles of Minimal Computing in the classroom.

As Prof. Dale Townsend has observed, the concept of the Gothic has had an association with fairies from its inception; even before Walpole’s 1764 Castle of Otranto (considered the first Gothic novel), eighteenth-century poetics talked of ‘the fairy kind of writing’ which, for Addison, ‘raise a pleasing kind of Horrour in the Mind of the Reader’…[Read more]

Review of Ivan Marcus, Sefer Hasidim and the Ashkenazic Book in Medieval Europe

Scholars have often assumed that the Eusebian apparatus was defunct and ignored in the Middle Ages. I argue, however, that Greek manuscripts offer evidence for readers’ ongoing use of the Eusebian apparatus. While the transmission of the Eusebian apparatus was subject to error, users maintained the functionality of the Eusebian system. Readers a…[Read more]

No sólo la calidad une Trafalgar y Kalpa Imperial, o el hecho de que cierren un primer periodo de la obra de Gorodischer. En ambos libros la fi gura central es un narrador que relata aventuras y acontecimientos en lo que es, explícita o implícitamente, otro planeta, muchos en Trafalgar, uno solo en Kalpa Imperial. Estos planetas y estos ac…[Read more]

My purpose in this article is to analyze Bioy’s novel in terms of two concepts from two well-known studies on specters and haunting, and to connect this spectral dimension of the novel to current discussions of the concept of cosmopolitanism. The first idea I will use is Derrida’s njunction that one needs “to learn to live with ghosts” (Specte…[Read more]
