Compare Within and Between Groups: The Interpretation of Weak Generic Sentences

This paper explicates the precise meaning of weak generic sentences of the form Ks are P, best represented by the Port Royal Puzzle sentence Dutchmen are good sailors. The sentence is true even though the majority of Dutchmen do not know how to sail at all and a fortiori do not sail well. Two observations motivate my analysis. One is that weak generic sentences express a property that “distinguishes the subject referent from other entities that might belong to the same category” (Krifka et al. 1995). This leads to the use of alternative set in my analysis. The other observation is that the scale structure of the predicate P affects the availability of weak generic reading for sentences of the form Ks are P. I argue that the interpretation of weak generic sentences involves: (i) partitioning the set of entities denoted by the bare plural subject based on the property denoted by the predicate P; (ii) partitioning the set of entities alternative to the denotation of the subject in a similar fashion; and (iii) comparing an appropriate partition in (i) to its counterpart in (ii) with respect to the predicate P. The Port Royal Puzzle sentence is true if and only if: those Dutchmen who can sail and who are good at sailing in comparison with the Dutch-internal standard of being good at sailing and those international citizens who can sail and who are good at sailing in comparison to the international standard of being good at sailing are such that the former population generally have better sailing skills than the latter population.

A partition, i.e. a division of a finite set into nonempty subsets, is a simple and essential concept of quantitatively understanding the reality. A partition of a number n is a decreasing sequence of natural numbers whose sum equals n. Greater numbers are seen only in terms of the union of partitions. The most important processes such as stochastic processes of branching processes can be expressed most simply using the language of partitions. By means of partitions any Sacała’s line defines a wide class of related quasibranching processes which are more general than Markov processes. Didactically such an approach is extremely useful.

In this autoethnographic writing, we explore the concepts of longing and belonging through a collaborative writing process that is fictional at times and autoethnographic at times. We present an experimental and arts-based approach to analyzing and understanding memories, and themes of nostalgia, belongingness, and longing in the present day. Through our autoethnographic fiction (Bochner and Ellis 2016; Ellis 2004) we explore questions such as: what is it like to long and belong, what is it like to long for a future that is embedded in the past, what is it like to futurize/co-futurize memories, and what if the past is the pre-present? As immigrants to Toronto, coming from nations that were once colonized, and still remain in the peripheries of colonization, we ponder about our bodies occupying the third space that we are living in, the feelings of nostalgia and belonging in our fiction. We write about our belongingness to our roots and the trajectories of our beings and think what decolonizing the the concept of memories might evoke. Methodologically, we draw from Erin Manning’s (2016) idea of going against method to propose a collaborative autoethnographic fiction writing and collaging practice that implicates our memories and bodies with our surroundings and other bodies, human, beyond human, and material, as instruments of research. We suggest that the decolonization and dehistoricization of memories and our conceptions of longing, belonging, and creating futures embedded in the past can happen by futurizing our notions of memories. We hope that writing a fiction in conversation with one another and in synchronicity of each other’s experiences will allow us to deconstruct and problematize our understanding of memories, the frictions between avant-garde and nostalgia and interspersing the collaging practice will allow us to build our stories and explore belongingness and nostalgia, longing for something indefinite and unwanted memories.

Memoirs “Notaty pamiętnikowe” of Antoni Łazarowicz (1819-1905), preserved in the manuscript in the Lithuanian Library of the Academy of Sciences Wróblewscy in Vilnius constitute a unique document. Their author, a civil servant in Vilnius, discovers his true attitude to the tsarist authorities in his diary. This interesting source shows the other face of a tsar official. It is also a valuable account of the living conditions of Borderland Intelligence in the 19th century.

The Partition Era, which lasted for over a hundred years, weakened the religious and patriotic life of the Poles. The restoration of Polish statehood required a great effort from the authorities and inhabitants of the country. The Church in now independent Poland was faced with a variety of religious practices, the situation which had arisen due to the period of national slavery. Prayers, liturgical and para-liturgical rituals, holidays and days of fasting had to be unified. The article presents priests’ efforts that were supposed to deepen the religious experience of the faithful. Ministry of sacraments realized in daily activities of a parish, services, preaching and catechizing were all means to enliven the spiritual life of the faithful and deepen their religious experience, which in turn was expected to affect the living standard of the congregation. This presentation of those efforts, created on the basis of archival materials, permits one to conclude that priests in Racławice did their best to meet the challenge.

A mathematical model of the problem of dividing two unequinumerous populations based on the partition of one of them was constructed. It has been shown that the division meets the requirements formulated in the criterion called the principle of proportionality, which is a mathematical version of the widely used in political science principle of the distribution of seats based on the D’Hondt method.

The article is about the influence of Jagiellonian Ideas on the struggle for Polonization and independence of the Jagiellonian University in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. The research on this matter is not popular. The literature is also scarce. The analyses of specific events in the history of the Jagiellonian University highlighted the influence of the Jagiellonian ideas. The cross-cutting analysis of the whole partition period outlined the significant role of those ideas in the university’s history.

Badania w tym zakresie nie cieszą się dużą popularnością. Literatura przedmiotu jest uboga. Przeanalizowano konkretne wydarzenia z historii Uniwersytetu Jagiellońskiego w celu wskazania wpływu idei jagiellońskich. Poprzez przekrojową analizę całego okresu zaborów uwypuklono istotną rolę owych idei w historii uczelni.
