The European Summer School in Logic, Language and Information (ESSLLI) is organized every year by the Association for Logic, Language and Information (FoLLI) in different sites around Europe. The papers cover vastly dierent topics, but each fall in the intersection of the three primary topics of ESSLLI: Logic, Language and Computation. The 13 papers presented in this volume have been selected among 81 submitted papers over the years 2019, 2020 and 2021. The ESSLLI Student Session is an excellent venue for students to present their work and receive valuable feedback from renowned experts in their respective fields. The Student Session accepts submissions for three different tracks: Language and Computation (LaCo), Logic and Computation (LoCo), and Logic and Language (LoLa).

Selected Letters of Katherine Anne Porter Chronicles of a Modern Woman


Free Download Darlene Harbour Unrue, "Selected Letters of Katherine Anne Porter: Chronicles of a Modern Woman"
English | 2012 | pages: 432 | ISBN: 161703620X, 1628461756 | EPUB | 2,7 mb
Katherine Anne Porter (1890-1980) produced a relatively small body of fiction, but she wrote thousands and thousands of letters. The present selection of 135 unexpurgated letters, written to seventy-four different persons, begins with a 1916 letter written from a tuberculosis sanatorium in Texas and ends with a 1979 letter dictated to an unnamed nursing-home attendant in Maryland. Different from any previous selection, this body of letters does not omit Porter’s frank criticism of fellow writers and spans her entire life. Within that circumscription is the chronicle of Porter, a twentieth-century woman searching for love while she struggles to become the writer who she is sure she can be.

P. W. Bridgman and the Special Theory oj Relativity Ey W. Bridgman wrote A S,phi,ticati< him" (1962) for the reader "who feels the need to stand back a little for a critical scrutiny of what he has really got" (SP, p. 3). * This was his personal trademark as physicist and philoso pher and it is present everywhere in Bridgman’s precis of special relativity theory. The reissue of Sophisticate’s Primer is particularly wel come for it exhibits a quest for clarity in foundations in the style of Ernst Mach and Henri Poincare, in whose philo- * N.B. Papers and books are here cited as follows. Bridgman (1927) refers to Bridgman’s book The Logic of Modern Physics in the bibliography. Cross-references to Sophisticate’s Primer are indicated with the code (SP, p. "’). Bridgman’s extant manuscripts are on deposit at the Harvard University Archives, and here cited by date, for example (MS 2 August 1959, p …. ). Some of the manuscripts were written over a period of days, with sequential paging, with the actual dates indicated. Full citations are given in the bibliography. I am grateful to the Harvard University Archives for permission to quote from these materials, and to Bridgman’s daughter, Mrs. Jane Koopman, for permitting me to quote from the draft manuscripts of Sophisticate’s Primer, which will be deposited in the Harvard Archives.

Author: Pedro Lemebel, Gwendolyn Harper, Idra Novey
Narrator: Fred Sanders, Vico Ortiz, Idra Novey, Gwendolyn Harper

A galvanizing look at life on the margins of society by a crowning figure of Latin America’s queer counterculture who celebrated "melodrama, kitsch, extravagance, and vulgarity of all kinds" (Garth Greenwell) in playful, performative, linguistically inventive essays, now available in English for the first time. "I speak from my difference," wrote Pedro Lemebel, an openly queer writer and artist living through Chile’s AIDS epidemic and the collapse of the Pinochet dictatorship. In brilliantly innovative essays-known as crónicas-that combine memoir, reportage, fiction, history, and poetry, he brought visibility and dignity to sexual minorities, the poor, and the powerless.
