The photographs in this album were selected with the assistance of the Sir Robert Hart Research Project, which is a collaboration between Special Collections & Archives in the Library, the School of Modern History & Anthropology, Queen’s University Belfast, and the Institute of Modern History at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences (CASS) in Beijing. The research project is creating an annotated photobook from the Sir Robert Hart Photo Collection (originally donated in the 1970s) and the Irons Collection. The photographs here reflect those that will be included in the book.

Dos décadas de una atormentada relación: Martin Heidegger y Edmund Husserl 1909-1929

La publicación reciente de documentos y la consulta directa en archivos posibilita un acercamiento renovado a la conflictiva relación entre Edmund Husserl y Martin Heidegger. El artículo lleva a cabo esto mediante una revisión del camino académico de Heidegger a la sombra de su protector Husserl. De ese modo se dejan ver las escisiones anímicas del joven Heidegger, su apropiación de la fenomenología husserliana y a la vez su distanciamiento del maestro. Con ello también se muestra que el rompimiento entre ambos pensadores no tiene su origen en los compromisos políticos de Heidegger en 1933, sino que era algo que latía desde el inicio de la relación.

Beyond time and oblivion : Sir Robert Sidney’s autograph manuscript

Dealing with ancient manuscript or old printed texts often constitutes a difficult task, especially to philologists and editors, for two main reasons: the precarious state of preservation of the documents and the uncertainty regarding their origin, authenticity and authorship. These problems are aggravated by spurious versions, due to the publication of truncated works, poorly supervised miscellanies and non-authorised editions. Sir Robert Sidney’s literary text constitutes an exception amidst such vicissitudes, once the original corpus is wholly contained in a notebook exhibiting the organisation and unity conceived by the author himself. Today, there is no evidence that any loose poems, either autograph or copied by amanuenses, were in circulation among members of the Elizabethan court society. The notebook was kept in private collections for four centuries, which probably explains why it was so well preserved. In fact, only in 1984 would P.J. Croft’s fine edition bring the youngest Sidney’s Poems into light. In this work, I approach Croft’s perceptive, accurate philological study that eventually rescued from oblivion a remarkable piece both of the Elizabethan lyric poetry and of the English Renaissance, and, at the same time, look into Robert Sidney’s peculiar, careful and original formatting of his own autograph manuscript.
