Simo Budmani

Simo Budmani (18th century) was a Dubrovnik-born Serbian merchant and author who lived and worked in Novi Pazar, though intermittently traveled throughout the Balkans and the Ottoman Empire as a Levant merchant.https://www.google.ca/books/edition/%D0%9F%D1%80%D0%B8%D0%BB%D0%BE%D0%B7%D0%B8_%D0%B7%D0%B0_%D0%BA%D1%9A%D0%B8%D0%B6%D0%B5%D0%B2%D0%BD%D0%BE%D1%81%D1%82/V3pHAQAAIAAJ?hl=en&gbpv=1&bsq=Sima+Budmani&dq=Sima+Budmani&printsec=frontcoverPero Budmani was related to Simo Budmani.
He is remembered for his Serbian-Italian Dictionary and also travels in the first decades of the 18th century across the Turkish Empire, and as this merchant was also interested in philology, during his long stay in Novi Pazar https://www.google.ca/books/edition/Isusovci_u_Hrvata/JxKLAAAAMAAJ?hl=en&gbpv=1&bsq=%22Simo+Budmani%22+-wikipedia&dq=%22Simo+Budmani%22+-wikipedia&printsec=frontcoverhe accumulated much knowledge and wrote about it. At the same time, he made a fortune as a trader.https://www.google.ca/books/edition/Povijest_hrvatske_knji%C5%BEevnosti_knj_Od_G/drViAAAAMAAJ?hl=en&gbpv=1&bsq=%22Simo+Budmani%22+-wikipedia&dq=%22Simo+Budmani%22+-wikipedia&printsec=frontcover
Simo Budmani is an offshoot of a Dubrovnik family that was not originally from the city, but possibly from a village in Konavle. The family was known for trading with merchants from the Levanthttps://www.google.ca/books/edition/%D0%9F%D1%80%D0%B8%D0%BB%D0%BE%D0%B7%D0%B8_%D0%B7%D0%B0_%D0%BA%D1%9A%D0%B8%D0%B6%D0%B5%D0%B2%D0%BD%D0%BE%D1%81%D1%82/V3pHAQAAIAAJ?hl=en&gbpv=1&bsq=Sima+Budmani&dq=Sima+Budmani&printsec=frontcover. Though of distant Italian descent, they always referred to themselves as Serbs of the Roman Catholic faith.
Cruising the Balkans, as he was taken by the trade he was engaged in, he, on various sides, got to know the regions, people and customs, and gradually acquired great wisdom of life. In 1722-1723, he was in Novi Pazar, in 1724 in Ruse, Bulgaria, from where he made beeswax. In 1726 he was in Wallachia, and the following year, in 1727, he came from Niš "with buffalo skins, wax and wolf skins"; in 1729 he was in Vidin, then in 1730, 1732–1733 and in 1736 in Novi Pazar, in 1740, in Prokuplje, and in 1749 again in Novi Pazar.
Simo Budmani's Novi Pazar records, in the form they have now, represent a collection of various materials, and not a single work. That material is mostly lexicographic. The initial part of them is occupied by the Italian-Serbian dictionary, with over six hundred and fifty words and more than sixty sentences.
The earliest mention of his work was made in the book entitled Narodne pjesme iz starijih, najčešće primorskih zapisa I ("Folk Songs from Older, Mostly Coastal Records I) by Valtazar Bogišić which Srpsko učeno društvo (Serbian Learned Society) published in 1878.online

Simon C. Estok

Simon C. Estok is a Professor at Sungkyunkwan University in Seoul, South Korea. He is widely recognized as having expanded the definition of the term "ecophobia" from its usage in psychology to a broader set of applications in the Environmental Humanities. Taking the September 18, 1988 definition George F. Will offered in a Chicago Sun-Times article entitled "The Politics of Ecophobia" as "the fear that the planet is increasingly inhospitable," Estok offers a more expansive set of definitions in The Ecophobia Hypothesis. Estok's current work on "Ecophobia and Covid-19" explores how pandemics are environmental events that are or can be a direct result of our dietary habits.
==Development of the Concept of "Ecophobia"==
Estok holds a Ph.D. in English literature from the University of Alberta, awarded in 1996. He is best known for developing the concept of "ecophobia" in his influential 2009 essay "Theorizing in a Space of Ambivalent Openness: Ecocriticism and Ecophobia," published in ISLE, the flagship journal of ecocriticism in the U.S.
==Research and publications==
Estok's co-edited book "East Asian Ecocriticism" (2013) features 12 original essays exploring East Asian perspectives on ecocriticism and argues for a broader consideration of non-Western voices in the field.
He has authored the award-winning "Ecocriticism and Shakespeare: Reading Ecophobia" (2011, reprinted 2014). The book situates Shakespeare's plays in the context of ecocriticism and environmental issues. It was shortlisted for the Shakespeare's Globe First Book Award in 2012 and won the "Writing in the Humanities Book Award" from the National Research Foundation in Korea in 2011.
Estok’s latest book, "The Ecophobia Hypothesis" (2018, reprinted 2020), has been translated into Turkish and is being translated into Chinese and Korean.
Estok's ongoing research, "Ecophobia and COVID-19," examines the environmental aspects of pandemics as related to human dietary habits. He is also working on a book about slime in the Western cultural and literary imagination.
Estok has co-edited several other influential works, including "Landscape, Seascape, and the Eco-Spatial Imagination" (2016), "International Perspectives in Feminist Ecocriticism" (2013), and "East Asian Ecocriticisms" (2013). Estok's research has been extensively published in journals such as PMLA, Mosaic, Configurations, and English Studies in Canada.
He is the editor of Neohelicon, an A&HCI journal, and an elected member of the European Academy of Sciences and Arts. He received the Shanghai Metropolitan Government "Oriental Scholar" Award (2015–2018) and was a resident at the Research Center for Comparative Literature and World Literatures at Shanghai Normal University.
