Tribute

El presente libro hace una lectura del textil andino como un repositorio documental sobre la esfera tributaria y argüimos que las huellas sobre esta esfera perviven en la terminología textil hasta hoy. Percibimos el textil como repositorio documental en su condición del testimonio material, realizado en un soporte textil, de las actividades de personas, familias e instituciones concernientes a esta esfera tributaria. Este tipo de abordaje a las funciones documentales del medio textil se ha restringido hasta la fecha a los estudios de las hebras anudadas denominadas khipu en quechua y chinu en aymara, y sobre todo a todo a ejemplares del periodo incaico.

Planteamos aquí que el textil no ha sido entendido en su condición de documento debido a varios sesgos implícitos en los estudios andinos, tanto conceptuales como lingüísticos y de género, que es necesario superar para poder unificar los estudios de ambos tipos de elaboración en fibra, khipu y tejido, de acuerdo con un lenguaje en común. Estos sesgos, en su conjunto, han enmascarado la naturaleza del textil como artefacto en su condición de conformar parte integral de programas mayores de planificación, uso y documentación por la sociedad para la cual se ha creado.

Chief Justice Zazzali's career reveals a dedication to public service and an unyielding sympathy for the disadvantaged. Accordingly, this Tribute examines his impact on New Jersey civil law and seeks to honor both the man and his jurisprudence. Although his tenure on the Supreme Court of New Jersey lasted only seven years, and his time as Chief Justice only nine months, his impact was meaningful.  His clear and accessible opinions consistently protected the state's children from myriad harms including negligent educators, harassing classmates, and tortfeasing businesses.
    In the area of tort law, Chief Justice Zazzali was willing to incrementally expand the common law to account for evolving norms and provide injured plaintiffs with avenues for redress when appropriate. In addition, when addressing worker's rights, Chief Justice Zazzali, the son of a labor lawyer and a labor lawyer himself, never forgot the plight of the worker. Finally, in the corporate law context, the Chief Justice, in a practical fashion, generally sought to level the playing field for aggrieved investors, consumers, and property owners seeking redress against corporate entities and municipalities. In short, Chief Justice Zazzali's civil jurisprudence reflects his sympathy for the "little guy."  By taking care of the Garden State's underdogs, Chief Justice Zazzali was more than a caretaker.

En este trabajo nos proponemos analizar las recientes investigaciones arqueológicas relativas al transporte marítimo de grano en época romana, tratando de indicar a su vez las limitaciones de estas fuentes de información. Los resultados de los análisis arqueobotánicos realizados en los últimos años nos informan principalmente de la importación de grano, así como de los insectos asociados que, bien por encontrarse en los propios pecios o en los lugares de recepción de los alimentos, nos permiten deducir su transporte por vía marítima. También el avance de los trabajos enmarcados en la denominada Arqueología Náutica nos brinda la oportunidad de conocer las embarcaciones y las operaciones de trasbordo de los grandes navíos cargueros que surcaban los mares, a partir del estudio de los pecios y las estructuras portuarias descubiertas. Por otro lado, los problemas de conservación y documentación de los alimentos que viajaban a bordo de los barcos nos obligan a recurrir a fuentes indirectas que nos hablan del transporte marítimo de diferentes tipos de grano. En este sentido, trataremos de analizar la información procedente de los lugares de recepción que, dotados de enormes horrea, estratégicamente situados en zonas costeras, nos advierten de la existencia de un transporte de grano importado por vía marítima, especialmente durante las operaciones militares de conquista, hipótesis que se ha podido corroborar gracias a los recientes análisis arqueobotánicos.

""The common understanding of early Chinese diplomacy largely is informed by the term 'tributary system:' during the Han period, foreign entities mainly engaged with the Chinese empire in order to secure economic profit. This view is based on the assumption that the rendition of tribute (gòng 貢) usually was reciprocated with 'counter-gifts' by the court. Accordingly, to the eyes of all foreigners, delivering tribute was only a 'cloak for trade' devoid of any notion of submission. On the other hand, the Chinese court is believed to have silently tolerated this kind of 'economic exchange' because receiving tribute was equalled with at least nominal acceptance of Chinese suzerainty and as a manifestation of its claim to universal power.
The situation as it is depicted in the transmitted sources, however, is far more complex. By retracing different methods of diplomatic interaction to Chunqiu and Zhanguo times, I shall demonstrate that Han diplomacy was far from having been an ideological exercise. I am also going to show that the Han court continued to use established strategies of diplomatic interaction by adapting them to the necessities of the time.""

During Late Antiquity, the Persians almost regularly demanded money from Rome. Although the Roman sources try to interpret these payments as subsidies, I argue that the paid sums were actually quite insignificant. The real purpose of the payments was thus a symbolic demonstration of Persian superiority over the Roman Empire.

A tributary system (what the Pseudo-Aristotle calls "the royal Economy") cannot live in a "closed" economy nor in a "natural" economy. It needs the access to the market where he can clear its stocks.

Mısır’da Türk kökenli Memlükler tarafından kurulduktan sonra Moğol ilerleyişini durdurup, Suriye sahil şeridindeki Haçlı krallıklarını ele geçiren Memlük Devleti 1426 yılında, Khirokitia Savaşı neticesinde Kıbrıs Adası’na hakim olmuştur. Savaşın sonucunda Memlük devletinin bir eyaleti haline getirilen adada merkezden atanan yöneticilerin bulunduğu bir yönetim değil de sultana bağlı yerel yöneticilerin olduğu bir naiblik sistemi kurulmuştur. Bu süreçte önce Lusignan kralları, 1489’dan sonra ise Venedikliler, Memlük sultanının naibi mertebesinde adada bulunmuşlardır. Memlükler 1517 yılına kadar adada uyguladıkları naiblik sistemiyle hakimiyetlerini devam ettirmişlerdir. Yaklaşık doksan yıl devam eden bu süreç adadaki ilk Türk hakimiyeti olarak anılmaktadır. Adanı koruyucusu olarak Memlükler ön plana çıkarken bunun karşılığında yıllık belirli bir miktar haracı adadan düzenli olarak tahsil etmişlerdir. Böylece adadaki yönetim için tehlikeli olabilecek Cenevizlilere veya Osmanlı genişlemesine karşı bir güvence sağlanmakla birlikte Mısır hazinesi için yıllık düzenli bir gelir kazanılmıştır. Sonuçta iki taraf için de faydalı olan bir süreç yaşanmıştır. Ayrıca gerek görüldükçe ada bir üs olarak kullanılmış ve yapılan deniz seferlerinin bazılarında Memlük donanması ihtiyaçlarını adadan gidermiştir. Memlüklerin uyguladıkları sistem benzer bir şekilde 1517 sonrasında Osmanlılar tarafından da devam ettirilmiştir. Bu bildiride Memlüklerin adada uyguladığı yönetim sistemi tarihsel süreç içerisinde ele alınmaktadır.

In Trade, Tribute, and Transportation, Ross Hassig argues that indigenous towns in the northern Basin of Mexico during the colonial period were largely self-sufficient. They traded with Mexico City mostly in elite goods, but for the most part they produced for their own subsistence or traded with nearby towns. Chemical characterization by instrumental neutron activation analysis (INAA) and portable X-ray fluorescence (pXRF) of ceramics and obsidian from post-conquest contexts in Xaltocan, a site in the northern Basin of Mexico, reveals that Hassig's model is partly correct for describing Xaltocan. The town focused on trade with nearby towns and it produced some ceramics for local consumption. However, Xaltocan was hardly isolated and self-sufficient in the post-conquest period. Instead, the data suggest that the people of Xaltocan also obtained ceramics and obsidian from a greater variety of sources than under Aztec domination. Rather than being an isolated rural site, Xaltocan either increased its external connections and number of trading partners after the Spanish conquest, or it managed to obtain a greater variety of products than before through a bustling market system.

My writing life has been a series of breakings and mendings, a shattering of the writing self that was, a repairing, through writing, of something in my life that warranted understanding and that needed fixing. Love for the written word framed my relationship with Louise DeSalvo, which by academic standards was unusual. She was not just an author whose work I read, taught, and wrote about, or an author I got to know better through formal interviews. She was my writing partner and one of my closest friends. I experienced no conflict of interest when writing about Louise because she never tried to influence the direction of my literary criticism-on the contrary, she, always so direct and outspoken, was almost reticent when commenting on my critical writing about her. She acted as a respectful witness. And so, our conversations added to my understanding of her work in ways that benefited my own. Friendship and literature wove organically in our daily talks about our personal and professional lives and in the literary projects that we each (and together) produced: I wrote the introduction to the reprint of her first memoir, Vertigo ([1996] 2002); we coedited The Milk of Almonds (2002), an anthology of food writings by Italian American women; I included her writings in anthologies and, with Nancy Caronia, coedited Personal Effects (2015), a volume of essays devoted to Louise's work. She also gave me the gift of memoir, a practice that has reverberated in my own memoir writing and in the stories written by hundreds of students I have taught. Once-it was the late 1990s-she gave a talk at my university. Afterward, her face tight with concern, she told me that a young woman in the front row was a sexual abuse survivor. She had never met this student before or spoken to her. I had just started working with this young woman. Her writing was striking, haunting, but she had made no mention of sexual abuse. How did Louise know? For over two decades, Louise and I talked often about working with students who are survivors of sexual, domestic, social, cultural, and political abuse, as

Among the consignments sent by Canaanite rulers to the Pharaoh were maidservants whose names are rendered by variant designations (EA 64, 268, 288, 301, 309). Two Pharaonic letters sent to Canaanite vassals also mention a request for women (EA 99, 369). The article analyzes the contents of the seven letters that deal with the dispatch of maidservants, establishes the background of each dispatch and draws a general picture of the delivery of Canaanite women to the Pharaoh. The analysis supports the conclusion that the routine payments of tribute were left out of the correspondence. What we have are reports of irregular payments, sent either after a special request from the Pharaoh, or in an effort to gain the favor of the Pharaoh and his officials.

A Tribute to E.L. Hebden Taylor (1925-2006): British Export to North America by Steve Bishop Belgium Congo Hebden Taylor began life as the son of missionary parents, who met and married in Mwanza, Africa, on October 17, 1923. His father, Rev. Cyril Eustace Taylor, born in Streatham, South London, read medicine at Trinity Hall, Cambridge, after which, in 1920, at the age of 28, he left England for Ngoimani in Katanga, Belgium Congo, now known as the Democratic Republic of Congo, to serve as a medical missionary. Taylor's mother, Marjorie Victoria Hebden Taylor, likewise left for the mission field in the Congo, at age 21, to work with the Emmaus Pentecostal Mission. After marriage, Taylor's parents moved to the Ngoimani station, where they contributed to the planting of 38 churches, with a combined congregation of over 3000. This was the context in which Hebden Taylor was born, on July 25, 1925, the first of six children. His father, who died of pneumonia in Switzerland while raising funds for the Congo Mission, is buried in Vevey. After Rev. Cyril Eustace Taylor died, a letter sent to Mrs. Taylor from the people of Ngoimani, after his death, January 27, 1935, shows the high

Scholarship on Chosŏn gratitude to the Ming in the wake of the Imjin Wars stresses Chosŏn loyalism and nostalgia for a lost civilizational order then only remnant as a final human outpost on the Korean peninsula standing firm before the tides of northern savagery. There was a very different undercurrent, however, in which the Chosŏn officialdom of the capital saw the Ming as irrational and even culturally alien, if not barbarous, violators of propriety. This paper examines these tensions and contradictions through the construction of Chosŏn state temples to Guan Yu, known in his deified form as Kwan Wang, at the close of the sixteenth century and the roles the cult and its temples played as a discursive space in which the Ming and Chosŏn governments negotiated the nature and dynamics of their relationship.

This thesis aspires to contribute to a better understanding of the socio-economic and political conditions prevailing in the Balkans during Late Antiquity by examining closely the important Aegean province of Thessaly (provincia Thessalia) from the mid-3rd until the end of the 7th c. A.D. The main discussion of this topic, contained in the first volume of the thesis (243 p., with 615 references to other works and 996 footnotes), is supported by 8 complementary studies (appendices) and 28 tables presented in the second volume (160 p.) and by extensive illustrations in the third volume (one map, 217 plates with plans and photos and a folded map showing the plans of 15 early Christian churches, all drawn at the same scale). The main contribution of the present study is that, for the first time, it brings together and systematically exploits all the rich late antique remains that have come to light within the province of Thessaly in the course of systematic or rescue excavations and field research. Furthermore, all this important material is presented within an interpretative framework, which interconnects with historiography (byzantine chronicles, vitae of saints, travellers' memoires), in order to examine within Thessaly two key issues in late antique studies: the transformation of urban centres and the nature of the regional economy.
Despite the unequal archaeological investigation in the twelve Thessalian cities under investigation (the extent and duration of the systematic or rescue excavations vary significantly from site to site), the overview of all the archaeological material available at present, that is undertaken here for the first time, allows a number of important conclusions to be drawn about the transformation of urban centers and the economy of Thessaly during Late Antiquity. The Thessalian cities may be divided into three categories: port-cities (Demetrias, Thebes), coastal cities (Echinos, Lamia), and inland cities. Among them, only Thebes and Diocletianoupolis are new (or almost new) foundations. In those cases, where the available archaeological data allow such observations (Larisa, Demetrias), it becomes clear that the intra-mural extent of the cities decreases during Late Antiquity. Some of the town-planning characteristics of their Graeco-Roman past (Hippodamian planning, part of the water and sewage system, baths) survive in certain cities, but others disappear (e.g. the theatres at Larisa and Demetrias do not function after the middle of the 4th c.). The impact of the new religion becomes clear in the increasing number of ecclesiastical buildings that have been excavated, especially in the port-city of Thebes (nine basilicas, four baptisteries and the bishop's palace). At present, there is no explicit evidence in Thessaly for the transformation of a pagan temple into a church (as observed in Athens or Carian Aphrodisias), while the archaeological evidence indicates that in Larisa, at least, there existed a considerable community of pagans as late as the end of the 5th c. The epigraphic record testifies also to the presence of Jews in some Thessalian cities (Larisa, Thebes, Hypata), although no remains of a synagogue have been revealed so far. All of the Thessalian cities had walls that must have been repaired repeatedly, if one takes into account the damages they suffered after natural catastrophes (earthquakes) and, above all, the repeated barbarian incursions, which became more intense in Thessaly from the last quarter of the 5th c. onwards. This study proposes that it is during this period and, more specifically, after 483 (the retreat of the Ostrogoths from Thessaly) that important repair work was undertaken on the walls of Larisa and that the castle of Iolkos in the wider area of Demetrias was built. Procopius' testimony that the walls of the Thessalian cities were renovated under Justinian cannot be put to the test in all cases, but it seems to be valid for Larisa, the castle of Iolkos ("Demetrias"), Thebes, and Diocletianoupolis (the latter, as argued in this thesis, was even visited by Procopius himself). The general historical background seems also to justify the absence of Lamia from Procopius' catalogue, as the only Thessalian city whose walls were not renovated under Justinian; we may easily imagine how superfluous repair works on the battered walls of this city must have looked, especially after the construction of the far more important and mighty defences of the nearby Pass of Thermopylai. The overview of the most recent archaeological evidence undertaken in this study shows a varying degree of prosperity in the Thessalian cities. The capital of the province (Larisa) and its two ports (Demetrias, Thebes) present a rich archaeological record throughout the 6th c., which gradually diminishes in the course of the 7th c., while in the case of Thebes everything comes to a standstill after the middle of the 7th c. Indeed, while Larisa and Demetrias seem to survive the "Dark Ages", the city of Thebes disappears from the literary and archaeological record after the end of Heraclius' reign. The coastal Thessalian cities (Echinos, Lamia) must have faced considerable difficulties as early as the beginning of the 5th c. (their numismatic finds are not dated beyond the 4th c.). Among the inland cities, Hypate, Trikke, and Diocletianoupolis exhibit limited building activity during the 5th c., while our information on the other Thessalian cities (Kaisareia, Gomphoi, Pharsalos) does not allow at present any conclusions on their level of prosperity and fate during Late Antiquity. The two Thessalian cities (Larisa, Demetrias) that survived the turbulent "Dark Ages" managed to do so on account of the following reasons (in order of importance): they had an important administrative position, they played a key-role in the economy of the region, they were easily accessible by the Byzantine army/fleet and finally, they occupied a well defended and suitably manned site. Larisa, for example, as the capital of the province, was placed in the centre of the communications network and the fertile Thessalian plain, at a distance of 60 km from the port of Demetrias. Its vulnerable location was improved significantly when, towards the end of the 5th c., the length of its walls was reduced, allowing thus a better use of its manpower for a more effective defence. The two port-cities of Thessaly, Demetrias and Thebes, were equally important for the region's economy. The prosperity of these neighbouring ports presupposed peaceful conditions and a fairly high amount of transactions that would justify the existence of them both. Such conditions prevailed more or less until the end of the 6th c. when, owing to the barbarian incursions, this intense trade decreased and as a result the presence of two ports on the Pagasetic gulf became superfluous. At this moment Demetrias took precedence over Thebes, as it was located (already from the end of the 5th c., as argued in the present thesis) on a much better defended location (castle of Iolkos), contrary to Thebes, which lay virtually unprotected on the coastal plain. Subsequently, it must have been the port of Demetrias where the convoy of the Thessalonians arrived in 677, hoping to buy foodstuff from the Belegezites Slavs, who lived "in the area of Thebes and Demetrias". The same port may have been the export point of wheat produced in the sitonia which (as argued in vol. 1, p. 103-112) may have been set up by Constans II and/or his immediate successors in the valley of the Spercheios river, in order to face the pressing food demands of Constantinople especially after the 640s, when the capital could no longer rely on large supplies of Egyptian wheat. It is, indeed, the primacy of Egypt as the main wheat supplier for Constantinople that explains the relative silence of the sources in what concerns the indisputable potential of Thessaly in the production and exportation of goods during Late Antiquity. It is worth noting that the references in Byzantine sources (Miracles of St. Demetrios, Michael Choniates) to the fertile land of Thessaly become far more numerous after 646 when Egypt was irrevocably lost to the Arabs.
The study of the economy of the region takes account of the local resources, such as agriculture and stock-raising with an emphasis on traditional Mediterranean products (wheat, olive oil, wine), as well as pisci- and apiculture, forestry and game, manufacturing installations (salt ponds, mosaic and glass production, quarries), and the amount and type of trade channelled through Thessaly’s two major ports on the Aegean Sea, Thebes and Demetrias. The limited written sources for the economy of late antique Thessaly are complemented by information that confirms Thessaly's potential in producing and exporting goods before and after Late Antiquity, a methodological approach well justified by the fact that the products and their cultivation and manufacturing methods remained virtually unchanged in the Mediterranean basin throughout the pre-industrial era. The emerging picture on the economy of late antique Thessaly is further illucidated by the archaeological remains of late antique manufacturing installations in the area (vol. 2: appendix 5) and the detection of identifiable products of certain or possible Thessalian origin outside the province’s borders, such as the renowned green Thessalian stone or verde antico (vol. 2: appendix 6 and tables 6-11) and the Late Roman Amphora 2 (vol. 2: appendix 7 and tables 12-26). This approach, together with the study of inscriptions and the identification of mints on the coins excavated in its two ports (vol. 2: appendix 3-4 and tables 2-5), reveal that Thessaly’s economic interests lay within the Eastern Mediterranean, while its main trading partners were located in the north and northeastern Aegean provinces.

As her colleagues and friends, we mourn the loss of a brilliant intellect, distinctive voice, and generous soul. The third and youngest daughter of Dieter and Renate Lührmann, she grew up with her sisters Silke and Susanne in Cyriaxweimar, a village outside of Marburg, Germany. She began her training as an anthropologist at Johann Wolfgang Goethe University Frankfurt where she obtained her MA in 2000 before heading to the University of Michigan at Ann Arbor where she began her doctoral studies in anthropology and history in 2002. Under the supervision of Alaina Lemon, Webb Keane, William Rosenberg, and Douglas Northrop, she wrote her dissertation on Soviet atheism and the complex affinities between secularism and post-Soviet religious revival in Russia's Upper Volga region. After obtaining her PhD in 2009, Sonja went on to Vancouver where she held a Killiam Postdoctoral Research Fellowship position at the University of British Columbia before joining the faculty in the Department of Sociology and Anthropology at Simon Fraser University in 2011.

Fans have described Stevie Nicks as an embodiment of "amplified femininity", "beautiful and fierce", and "one of those sirens on the rock", while critics have written that Nicks was "the first woman to find a feminine way to rock", an artist who "writes songs that elevate the feminine to a sacred place". Given Nicks's strong association with markers of conventional femininity, her conscious engagement with the witch archetype (e.g., the song <Rhiannon>), and the gender-conservative AOR radio formats that most often play her music and the music of Fleetwood Mac, it is curious that a sizable contingent of her fans take an unconventional approach to gender and sexuality. This became obvious in the 1990s when a spate of Nicks tribute events began popping up in various urban locales across the US, most of which were rooted in gay and drag subcultures. This article explores the reasons why Nicks has been taken up as a queer icon, considering how Nicks's femininity is "forged" in both senses of the word. Ethnographic data reveals how fans engage with various notions of femininity through the singer's image and music--tribute performers often highlight or even heighten the indeterminate melodies, feminine cadences, and cyclical harmonies that appear throughout her music--and how these fans link gender and sexual identities in intriguing ways. The primary field setting is the Night of a Thousand Stevies tribute, also known as NOTS, founded by Chi Chi Valenti of Jackie 60/Mother and held annually in New York City since 1991. The event, equal parts reverent tribute and loving parody, features dozens of Steve Nicks impressionists (of every possible gender configuration) interpreting Stevie Nicks through lip syncing, live musical performance, dance, puppetry, and performance art.

Este articulo examina las relaciones singulares entre vida y obra tramadas en la biografia que el colombiano Jose Maria Vargas Vila escribe sobre Ruben Dario en 1917, a partir de la hipotesis de que la misma interroga los lazos entre biografia y autobiografia a traves de una serie de temas centrales para la literatura moderna hispanoamericana: la figura del artista, la bohemia y el problema de la autonomia. Reflexiona, asimismo, sobre el valor de la retorica del homenaje en el incipiente campo literario hispanoamericano, el de fines del siglo XIX.

Ek was in een van die laaste groepie honneursstudente wat nog by prof. T.T. Cloete klas gekry het. Hy het teen daardie tyd reeds moeisaam beweeg en ons het sommer elke week na sy huis gegaan vir die lesings. Van daardie honneursontmoetings om sy eetkamertafel het drie dinge 'n blywende indruk op my gelaat: die eerste was sy vermoë om lang dele uit die wêreldletterkunde aan te haal en te verwys na skrywers en boeke waarvan ek nog nooit gehoor het nie. Dikwels het my klasaantekeninge hoofsaaklik bestaan uit lyste van skrywers en digters waarmee ek dan in die daaropvolgende dae biblioteek toe is. Sy indrukwekkende kennis van letterkunde-van die Egiptiese, Hebreeuse, Griekse en Latynse letterkunde, deur die Middeleeuse, die Renaissance, die Romantiek, tot die moderne literatuur was eenvoudig verstommend. Die rustige gemak waarmee hy met al hierdie tekste omgegaan het en veral sy vermoë om raakpunte te vind, sodat die een teks wat mens lees nooit net daardie en teks is nie maar 'n magdom van ander tekste, het my geïnspireer om te lees en te lees. Maar aan die ander kant was hierdie verbysterende verwysingsraamwerk vir my ook so intimiderend dat ek selde my mond in die klas oopgemaak het. Die tweede aspek van daardie lesings in die rustige woonbuurt wat 'n blywende indruk gemaak het, was Cloete se vermoë om fyn te lees. Hy het geleidelik al meer opgewonde geraak soos wat hy meer en meer aspekte van die die gedig aandui en uitlig wat geeneen van ons naastenby raakgesien het nie. Oënskynlik eenvoudige verse en die mees verwikkelde gedigte het, onder sy groeiende entoesiasme, al meer geheime prysgegee. Dit was soos 'n ontdekkingstog wanneer hy begin met 'n klank of met een woord se betekenis totdat hy uiteindelik op meesterlike wyse alles saamknoop en terugsit op sy stoel met die glinstering van die ontdekker van Monomotapa in sy oë. Dan het hy ons herinner aan die bewondering wat ons vir die gedig en vir taal moet hê. Teen daardie tyd wás ek in verwondering oor die gedig, maar nóg meer verwonderd oor sy ontrafeling van die gedig. Een van die heel eerste lesings was oor Louw se "Klipwerk". Die twee, vir my heeltemal raaiselagtige reëls, "dat akkers op die sinkdak val / en vye op die ringmuur breek", het onder Cloete se leiding die Versindaba brought to you by CORE View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk

Eu tinha seis anos de idade, era ruiva, cabelo crespo, dentuça, menina sardenta que se sentia muito desajeitada e com poucas habilidades nas aulas de Educação Física. Estudava em uma escola pública, morávamos em um prédio pequeno, na Avenida Paulista. Meus pais, por um posicionamento político, escolheram me colocar em um grupo escolar. Eu aprendendo a escrever. Sempre, em torno das 20:00, eu e meu irmão Carlos íamos para a cama. E adormecíamos com meu pai lendo algum livro ou contando alguma história improvisada. Até hoje lembro do livro " Histórias do Não-Sabe-Nada" de algum autor russo. Queria lembrar, andei procurando por sebos e pela internet e não achei. Depois de 20 minutos ou meia hora, meu pai apagava a luz e deixava a porta entreaberta. Sentava então na mesa da sala de jantar junto com minha mãe para trabalharem na revisão de alguma de suas traduções. Eu ficava atenta, ouvindo. Foi assim que, desde cedo, escutei os clássicos russos, lidos pela minha mãe, enquanto meu pai ia cotejando no russo. Depois, nas redações da escola, tentava reproduzir o que havia apreendido noite adentro. Lembro de uma redação, que guardo até hoje, onde imitei não sei se Gorki ou Tchekhov. A professora, surpresa, quis conversar com meus pais. Acho que tive algum êxito na imitação... Por sorte, a professora desse primeiro ano era sensível. Gostou das paisagens com pôr-do-sol que coloquei nos meus primeiros textos. Mas, a professora do segundo ano era uma bruxa má. Lembro da sua cor esverdeada, e os cabelos que embranqueciam feitos em trança e presos em um coque. Tinha vindo da Polônia e contava horrores dos carrascos comunistas que comiam criancinhas... Um dia meus pais me flagraram de pé na cama apavorada com medo do comunismo, que segundo Dona Ludmila, estava chegando no Brasil. Logo eles que, fazendo jus a toda uma história de militância na esquerda brasileira, haviam escolhido o grupo escolar para me colocar...

One of the giants in Czechoslovakia—now the Czech Republic—in plant water relations, Professor Jan Čermák, passed away on December 23, 2021, in Brno, Czech Republic. Following in the footsteps of earlier noted Czech physiological ecologists—Jiří Čatský, Pavol Eliáš, Josef Huzulák, Zdeněk Šesták and Bohdan Slavík—Jan Čermák carved a reputation in plant water relations. Unlike the others, Čermák collaborated globally in his research endeavors, and these collaborations spanned almost four decades. In this tribute we review Jan Čermák’s career, his scientific contributions, and his collaborations.
