Zwar ist die literarische Gattung der «Autobiographie» eine neuzeitliche Erfindung, doch schrieben bereits politische Akteure in der späten römischen Republik über ihr Leben und verorteten dieses im Zusammenhang mit den politischen Veränderungen der Zeit. Die Autorin untersucht exemplarisch das life writing Ciceros und des Augustus, um Bedingungen, Strukturen und Ziele des Schreibens über den eigenen Lebenslauf zu eruieren. Sie nimmt sowohl De vita sua-Schriften und commentarii als auch andere Textsorten in den Blick und zeigt, wie die Autoren mit Form und Inhalt experimentierten, um ihr Ansehen bei den Zeitgenossen durch die Festschreibung grosser Taten zu heben und die Erinnerung an diese fortdauern zu lassen. Die Untersuchung verdeutlicht, dass Texte des life writing jeweils eng mit dem politischen Kontext verbunden waren. Zudem werden die Strategien offensichtlich, mit denen der Lebenslauf abhängig von den geltenden sozialen Normen sinnhaft konstruiert wurde.

This study investigates whether and how a Life-story Work (LSW) presentation of people with dementia can affect the care practice of professionals working in a nursing home by integrating the knowledge acquired in their care practice and by turning the latter more Person-centred. A multiple-case study design was implemented. Residents participated in an 8-session LSW intervention. Non-participant observations of their morning routine and semi-structured interviews with the care staff were employed. Data were analyzed using thematic analysis. Results identified two themes, “Person-centred Care Practices” and “Non-person-centred Care Practices”, and changes were indicated regarding the professionals’ knowledge and perception of the residents. Possible explanations for the similarities and differences within and between Case studies are discussed. The need for further research on how changes in professionals’ attitudes can impact residents’ behaviour is emphasized.

L’objectif de ce mémoire est d’explorer les notions de paternité, les représentations
des pères lors de leurs incarcérations et de capter les processus de mise en sens des
pères détenus. En terme de représentations, nous entendons la manière dont les
pères pensent et expérimentent leur paternité.
Lors de cette étude, nous n’avons pas émis d’hypothèses, mais plutôt des objectifs de
recherche afin de rendre l’étude exploratoire. Nous ne pouvons pas tirer de
conclusions hâtives. La principale question de recherche était de savoir “Comment les
pères incarcérés parlent de leur détention et ressentent leur paternité ?”
Pour réaliser cette recherche, nous avons rencontré huit pères en détention. Les
critères d’inclusion pour participer à cette étude étaient : être un homme, être un père
incarcéré. Nous avons rencontré les participants et avons dirigé les rencontres vers
un entretien non directif construit en parallèle aux fondements de l’analyse
phénoménologique interprétative.
De manière globale, nous avons constaté que la vision de la paternité est un élément
constitutif de la vie carcérale. Selon les représentations des pères, le maintien d’un
lien père-enfant, à travers les visites et les contacts téléphoniques, a un impact positif
sur la perception de la parentalité.
Néanmoins, ces constatations ne peuvent pas être généralisées vu le nombre de
participants et les autres éléments pouvant impacter la perception paternelle.

Anna Morandi Manzolini (1714-74), a woman artist and scientist, surmounted meager origins and limited formal education to become one of the most acclaimed anatomical sculptors of the Enlightenment. The Lady Anatomist tells the story of her arresting life and times, in light of the intertwined histories of science, gender, and art that complicated her rise to fame in the eighteenth century. Examining the details of Morandi's remarkable life, Rebecca Messbarger traces her intellectual trajectory from provincial artist to internationally renowned anatomical wax modeler for the University of Bologna's famous medical school. Placing Morandi's work within its cultural and historical context, as well as in line with the Italian tradition of anatomical studies and design, Messbarger uncovers the messages contained within Morandi's wax inscriptions, part complex theories of the body and part poetry. Widely appealing to those with an interest in the tangled histories of art and the body, and including lavish, full-color reproductions of Morandi's work, The Lady Anatomist is a sophisticated biography of a true visionary.

Myung Mi Kim's Commons weighs on the most sensitive of scales the minute grains of daily life in both peace and war, registering as very few works of literature have done our common burden of being subject to history. Abstracting colonization, war, immigration, disease, and first-language loss until only sparse phrases remain, Kim takes on the anguish and displacement of those whose lives are embedded in history.Kim's blank spaces are loaded silences: openings through which readers enter the text and find their way. These silences reveal gaps in memory and articulate experiences that will not translate into language at all. Her words retrieve the past in much the same way the human mind does: an image sparks another image, a scent, the sound of bombs, or conversation. These silences and pauses give the poems their structure.Commons's fragmented lyric pushes the reader to question the construction of the poem. Identity surfaces, sinks back, then rises again. On this shifting ground, Kim creates meaning through juxtaposed fragments. Her verse, with its stops and starts, its austere yet rich images, offers splinters of testimony and objection. It negotiates a constantly changing world, scavenging through scraps of experience, spaces around words, and remnants of emotion for a language that enfolds the enormity of what we cannot express.
