Citizenship Education for Liberation in Nigeria
Authors: Ogunbiyi JO , Oludeyi OS 
Published: May 2021

Across the globe, nations face a problem of low levels of civic consciousness and prevalence of harmful stereotypes like ethno-religious intolerance, prejudice and crises. In many parts of the world, these have degenerated into political crises, youth hooliganisms, prostitution, examinations malpractices, rape victimisation, terrorism and national insecurity. In the Nigerian context, these vices truncate the practical and transparent democratic governance while threatening the country’s federalism and cohesion. Since the purpose of any functional education is to enlighten and liberate the beneficiaries, ensuring that they live a sustainable life while contributing meaningfully to the upkeep of their immediate community, this paper takes a look at citizenship liberation using qualitative civic education. It examines, inter alia, the aims and objectives of qualitative citizenship education and how the principles of civic education can be instilled in the citizens for liberation and peaceful co-existence. The paper further discusses how the spirit of patriotism, unity, love and oneness can be installed in the minds of Nigerians and how they can serve as a lubricant to the wheel of socio-political and economic progress of the nation through adequate citizenship education.Keywords: Higher education for development; Sustainability; Lifelong learning.

Authors: Ozurumba Chukwuma N. , Amasuomo Japo Oweikeye 
Published: May 2021

This study examines staff development and the output of academic staff in the state universities in South-South Nigeria. An ex-post-facto survey design was used to conduct the research in three state universities in the area. Three research hypotheses were formulated to guide the study. Data were collected from a sample of 402 academic staff. This was done using a questionnaire entitled “Academic Staff Development and Academic Staff Output Questionnaire”. One way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) was used to analyse the data. The findings were that significant relationship exists between staff development and the productivity of academic staff in terms of research, teaching and community service. Therefore, the study concluded that in-service training and attendance of conferences and workshops influence the output of academic staff. Accordingly, it is recommended that adequate funding towards staff development and policies that support staff development are imperative for improved performance.Keywords: Academic staff development; Performance management; Nigeria

A time series analysis of permanent GNSS stations in the northwest network of Iran
Authors: Ghasemi Khalkhali Seyed Amin , A. Ardalan Alireza , Karimi Roohollah 
Published: May 2021

The aim of this study is to estimate reliable velocities along with their realistic uncertainties based on a robust time series analysis including analysis of deterministic and stochastic (noise) models. In the deterministic model analysis part, we use a complete station motion model comprised of jump effects, linear and nonlinear trend, periodic components, and post-seismic deformation model. This part also consists of jump detection, outlier detection, and statistical significance of jumps. We perform the deterministic model analysis in an iterative process to elevate its efficiency. In the noise analysis part, first, we remove the spatial correlation of observations using the weighted stacking method based on the common mode error (CME) parameter. Next, a combination of white and flicker noises is used to determine the stochastic model. This time series analysis is applied for 11-year time series of 25 permanent GNSS stations from 2006 to 2016 in the northwest network of Iran. We reveal that there is a nonlinear trend in some stations, although most stations have a linear trend. In addition, we found that a combination of logarithmic and exponential functions is the most appropriate post-seismic deformation model in our study region. The result of the noise analysis shows that the spatial filtering reduces the norm of post-fit residual vector by 19.34%, 17.51%, and 12.44% on average for the east, north, and up components, respectively. Furthermore, the uncertainties obtained from the combination of white and flicker noises at the east, north, and up components are 5.0, 4.8, and 4.4 times greater than those of the white noise model, respectively. The results indicate that the stations move horizontally with an average velocity of 36.0 ± 0.3 mm/yr in the azimuth of 52.66° NE which is compatible with velocities obtained from MIDAS. We obtained the vertical velocity of most stations in the range of -5 to 5 mm/yr. However, in three stations of GGSH, ORYH, and BNAB, which are in the proximity of Lake Urmia, the vertical velocities are estimated to be -80.9 mm/yr, -50.6 mm/yr, and -11.4 mm/yr, respectively. Moreover, we found that these three stations possess large periodic signal amplitudes in all three coordinate components as well as a nonlinear trend in the up component.

Authors: Khalid Adeeb 
Published: May 2021

This a rticle explores t he s o-called “ Memoirs” o f M unavvar qori Abdurashidxon o’g’li (1878-1931), a major figure in the politics of Turkestanin the era of the revolution and an early victim of the OGPU. The autobiographical text is a series of pokazanija written while Munavvar qori was under arrest in which he describes his political activities since the revolution. The article analyses the way in which Munavvar qori presents himself—a combination limited confession with plausible denial or extenuation—and the way he deploys language. The article also presents lengthy excerpts in English translation.

Authors: François Martin 
Published: May 2021

Now that fifty out of the nearly one hundred films in Ladislas Starewitch’s filmography are available, now that recent exhibits of non-film materialfrom the collection Martin-Starewitch have been presented to thousands of people, in various parts of the world, at least, a new approach to Starewitch’s work, to his personal conception of cinema, his view of the world and imagination can be attempted. Now we can better understand his crucial place in cinema history and why various actual major directors refer to Starewitch as the master.Between his fantastic visions, realism and poetry, following the path of childhood and thanks to his prodigious ability in animating, his work is unique.
Désormais la disponibilité des films de L. Starewitch, une cinquantaine sur une filmographie qui en compte le double, et les expositions récentes de matériel non-film de la collection Martin-Starewitch permettent une appréciation nouvelle de son oeuvre, de sa personnalité, de sa conception du cinéma comme du monde et de son imaginaire. On comprend mieux sa place dans l’histoire du cinéma et pourquoi plusieurs réalisateurs actuels se réfèrent à lui comme à un maître. Entre fantastique, réalisme et poésie, avec l’enfance comme fil conducteur et une prodigieuse qualité d’animation, son oeuvre est unique.
Теперь, когда доступны пятьдесят из почти что ста фильмов фильмографии Ладислава Старевича; когда недавние выставки познакомилитысячи людей, в различных частях света, с не-киноматериалами из коллекции Мартэн-Старевича – то может быть предпринята попытка нового подхода к творчеству Старевича, его индивидуально-собственной киноконцепции, его картине мира и воображения.Теперь мы можем лучше понять его ключевое место в истории кинематографии и то, почему различные современные крупные режиссёрыназывают Старевича своим учителем. Картины, рождённые его воображением, реализм и поэзия, берущие исток в его детстве, и его удивительный дар в искусстве анимации делают творчество Старевича уникальным.

The town of Ekaterinburg (Sverdlovsk during the Soviet period) in theUrals is the third centre for animation in Russia after Moscow and St. Petersburg. Thearticle focuses on the work of the directors who have made the reputation of the Schoolof Animation of the Urals. The history of the Urals school of animation is dividedinto three stages: the first generation, that of the founders, which laid the foundationof animation at Sverdlovsk with a classic yet imaginative poetry and aesthetic; asecond generation, trained by the great masters of experimentation Yuri Norstein, Fedor Khitruk, Eduard Nazarov and Andrei Khrjanovski, for which animation is the basis for all investigations – of material, senses, production –; and finally the directorsborn in the 1960s, the heirs of the preceding generation, who continue and diversify theinvestigations of their elders and pursue new directions of artistic expression.

Как да преосмислим литературните часовници на света? Да дадем пространство на времето (българският случай)
Authors: Vrinat-Nikolov Marie 
Published: May 2021

След постколониалните проучвания и възникването на нови въпроси около световната литература, литературната история вече не може да се ограничи до националната рамка. Проучването на литературното пространство с транснационален и трансдисциплинарен подход отваря плодородни перспективи. В моите изследвания за историята на българското литературно пространство един от въпросите, които ми се струват особено важни, тъй като не са достатъчно изучени, е въпросът за литературната темпоралност. Как можем да избегнем „западноевропейския центризъм“, без да пренебрегваме факта, че Париж, Лондон, Берлин, Ню Йорк са „Литературният Гринуич“(Казанова)? Как можем да съпоставим в глобалното пространство, без да ги сравняваме според тяхното „напредване“ или „изостаналост“, времевите измерения на всяко литературно пространство? Точно това се опитвам да начертая, вливайки география (или дори геология) в литературната история.
Since postcolonial studies and the renewal of questions about World literature, literary history can no longer be confined to a national perspective. Addressing the literary fact in a transnational and transdisciplinary approach opens up fertile perspectives. In my research on the history of the Bulgarian literary space, one of the points that seems crucial to me because it has not been sufficiently studied is the question of literary temporality. How can we escape from “Western European centrism” without neglecting the fact that Paris, London, Berlin, New York are the “Literary Greenwich” (Casanova)? How can we put into perspective without compaing them in terms of “advance” or “backwardness” the temporalities of each literary space within the global space? This is what I am trying to sketch by injecting geography (or even geology) into literary history.
Depuis les études postcoloniales et le renouvellement des interrogations sur la littérature‑monde, l’histoire littéraire ne peut plus s’en tenir à une perspective nationale. Aborder le fait littéraire dans une approche transnationale et transdisciplinaire ouvre des perspectives fécondes. Dans mes recherches sur l’histoire de l’espace littéraire bulgare, l’un des points qui me semblent cruciaux parce qu’insuffisamment étudiés est la question de la temporalité littéraire. Comment échapper au « centrisme ouest‑européen » sans négliger le fait que Paris, Londres, Berlin, New York soient les « Greenwich littéraires » (Casanova) ? Comment mettre en perspective sans les comparer en termes d’« avance » ou de « retard » les temporalités de chaque espace littéraire au sein de l’espace mondial ? C’est ce que je tente d’esquisser en insufflant de la géographie (voire de la géologie) dans l’histoire littéraire.
Un Polonais au « Far East » : Asie fantôme. À travers la Sibérie sauvage (1898‑1905) de Ferdynand Ossendowski (1923)
Authors: Monluçon Anne-Marie 
Published: May 2021

The travelogue by Antoni Ferdynand Ossendowski, Man and Mystery in Asia. Through Wild Siberia (1898‑1905), written in 1923 and translated from English into French in 1925, results from a complex editorial history and still awaits a translation from the Polish original. The aim here is to shed some light on the reasons for its success at its first reception and its rediscovery since 1989 and the rise of censorship in Poland: Why (re)read Man and Mystery in Asia? This book, which goes beyond the scientific writings of the Polish geologist, can be read at least at three additional levels: as the literary narrative of a scientist, it articulates science with economics and ecology; as a text inspired by Anglo‑Saxon or Polish adventure novels, it stands out as an anticolonial western in the Far East; as the text of an author who had escaped a manhunt by Russian and Mongolian revolutionaries in 1920‑1921, a story narrated in Beasts, Men and Gods, he depicts a whole shadow world, where the narrator experiences proximity with death and the dead.
Le récit de voyage d’Antoni Ferdynand Ossendowski, Asie fantôme. À travers la Sibérie sauvage (1898‑1905), écrit en 1923 et traduit en français en 1925, via l’anglais, résulte d’une histoire éditoriale complexe et attend encore une traduction d’après l’original polonais. Il s’agit d’éclairer ici les raisons de son succès lors de sa première réception et celles de sa redécouverte depuis 1989 et la levée de la censure en Pologne : pourquoi (re)lire Asie fantôme ? Ce livre qui double les écrits scientifiques du géologue polonais peut faire l’objet d’au moins trois lectures complémentaires : comme récit littéraire d’un scientifique, il articule la science avec l’économie et l’écologie ; comme texte inspiré des romans d’aventures anglo‑saxons ou polonais, il s’impose comme un western anti‑colonial du Far East ; comme texte d’un auteur rescapé d’une chasse à l’homme des révolutionnaires russes et mongols en 1920‑1921, racontée dans Bêtes, hommes et dieux, il déploie tout un monde fantômal, où le narrateur côtoie la mort et les morts.
Jacek Hugo-Bader in the footsteps of Ryszard Kapuściński and Svetlana Alexievitch in the former USSR (White Fever. From Moscow to Vladisvostok, 2009)
Authors: Vandenborre Katia 
Published: May 2021

Of the four books which were written by Jacek Hugo‑Bader, three are held in Russia and in the territories of the former Soviet Union: In the Paradise Valley, Among the Weeds herbes [W rajskiej dolinie, wśród zielska, 2002], White Fever [Biała gorączka, 2009] and Kolyma Diaries [Dzienniki kołymskie, 2010]. This Russianness is the starting point of the present article which aims to place Hugo‑Bader’s literary personality in the Polish galaxy of travel writers. His interest for post‑Soviet space connects Hugo‑Bader with two writers who have distinguished themselves in this field: Svetlana Aleksievič and Ryszard Kapuściński. Considering the method, the collection of material, the relationship to witnesses, the vision of Russian power, the storytelling and the use of literature, the comparison will help to identify some of Hugo‑Bader’s most important specificities.
Sur les quatre livres que compte l’oeuvre de Jacek Hugo‑Bader, trois se déroulent en Russie et dans les territoires de l’ex‑URSS : Dans la vallée paradisiaque, parmi les mauvaises herbes [W rajskiej dolinie, wśród zielska, 2002], La Fièvre blanche [Biała gorączka, 2009] et Le Journal de la Kolyma [Dzienniki kołymskie, 2010]. Cette prédominance russophone constitue le point de départ du présent article dont l’objet est de situer la personnalité littéraire d’Hugo‑Bader, dans la pléiade polonaise des écrivains voyageurs. L’intérêt pour l’espace post‑soviétique invite en effet à rapprocher Hugo‑Bader de deux écrivains qui se sont illustrés dans le domaine : Svetlana Aleksievitch et Ryszard Kapuściński. En prenant en compte la méthode, la collecte de matériau, la relation aux témoins, le rapport au pouvoir russe, la mise en récit et l’utilisation de la littérature, la comparaison permettra de dégager ainsi quelques‑unes des spécificités de l’auteur de La Fièvre blanche.
East of Andrzej Stasiuk (2014)
Authors: Kaczmarek Agnieszka 
Published: May 2021

In his book East Andrzej Stasiuk claims that he was still traveling east. Just like traveling, Stasiuk’s writings are a form of documentation and exploration of nuances, colors and differences that can be recognized in the world. In the presented text I focus on the geography of texts by Stasiuk, on the representation of Eastern Europe considered as the margin of the Old Continent. The purpose of my article is to explain what the East according to Andrzej Stasiuk is from a cultural, mental and even political point of view. Literary and travel experience encourages reflection on the new European geography after 1989 and reflection on its identity.
Dans son livre Wschód [Orient], Andrzej Stasiuk soutient qu’il a toujours voyagé à l’Est. Comme ses voyages, les écrits de Stasiuk sont une forme de documentation du monde et d’exploration de ses nuances, de ses couleurs et de ses différences. Dans cet article notre attention se portera sur la géographie des textes de Stasiuk, sur la représentation de l’Est de l’Europe, considéré comme marge du Vieux Continent. Mon but est d’expliquer ce que l’Est représente pour Stasiuk du point de vue culturel, mental, voire politique. L’expérience littéraire et celle du voyageur invitent à réfléchir sur la nouvelle géographie de l’Europe après 1989 et sur son identité.
W swojej książce Wschód Andrzej Stasiuk twierdzi, że wciąż podróżował na wschód. Podobnie jak podróże, pisma Stasiuka są formą dokumentacji oraz eksploracji niuansów, kolorów i różnic, które można rozpoznać w świecie. W prezentowanym tekście skupiam się się na geografii tekstów Stasiuka, na reprezentacji Europy Wschodniej uważanej za margines Starego Kontynentu. Celem mojego artykułu jest wyjaśnienie, czym jest Wschód według Andrzeja Stasiuka z kulturowego, mentalnego, a nawet politycznego punktu widzenia. Doświadczenie literackie i podróżnicze zachęca do refleksji nad nową geografią Europy po 1989 r. oraz namysłu nad jej tożsamością.
L’anti‑journal de voyage en Amérique de Miron Białoszewski (AAmérique, 1988 et Journal secret, 2012)
Authors: Fiut Alexander 
Published: May 2021

Miron Białoszewski was a Polish poet, novelist and playwright. He left two narratives of his trip to the United States in the fall of 1982: the first one is a travel log entitled AAmeryka [Aamerica] published in 1988, five years after Białoszewski’s death: the second one is a part of his Tajny Dziennik [Secret diary], published in 2012. One could say about America, that it is an “anti‑diary.” We can better appreciate the uniqueness of this book, if we compare his depiction of the New World, with what we can find in America [Amérique], antoher “anti‑diary,” written by Jean Baudrillard and published in 1986. Białoszewski contemplates America, maybe with some preconceived ideas, but he is shaped by his own historical experience and worldview. In his American trip, Baudrillard finds, above all, a confirmation of his catastrophist predictions.
Miron Białoszewski (1922‑1983), poète, prosateur et dramaturge, a laissé deux témoignages de son séjour aux États‑Unis, effectué à l’automne 1982 : le premier est un récit de voyage intitulé AAmérique [AAmeryka], qui paraît en 1988, soit cinq années après la mort de l’auteur ; le deuxième est constitué par une partie de son Journal secret [Tajny dziennik], qui n’a été publié qu’en 2012. D’AAmérique, on peut dire qu’il s’agit d’un « anti‑journal ». Pour mieux appréhender la particularité de celui‑ci, il est intéressant de confronter l’image du Nouveau Monde qui s’en dégage de celle qu’on trouve dans un autre « anti‑journal », Amérique, de Jean Baudrillard, publié en 1986. Białoszewski contemple l’Amérique d’un regard, peut‑être non dénué de tout a priori, mais façonné par une expérience historique et une vision du monde qui lui sont propres. Baudrillard trouve dans ce voyage américain la confirmation de ses diagnostics catastrophistes.
