The material for this book has been taken from the 2006 thesis, Frederick Kiesler's Art of This Century in New York, (1942-1947), in the Context of the Twentieth Century Art Museum. The prime objective was to establish why so few people remember Art of This Century, which Kiesler designed for Peggy Guggenheim in 1942, and she ruthlessly closed in 1947. A second aim was to investigate why there has been so research carried out on the Gallery, when it was acknowledged as a work of art in it...

What ends do we expect and hope to serve in punishing criminal wrongdoers? Does the punishment of offenders do more harm than good for American society? In The Case against Punishment, Deirdre Golash addresses these and other questions about the value of punishment in contemporary society. Drawing on both empirical evidence and philosophical literature, this book argues that the harm done by punishing criminal offenders is ultimately morally unjustified. Asserting that punishment inflicts both intended and unintended harms on offenders, Golash suggests that crime can be reduced by addressing social problems correlated with high crime rates, such as income inequality and local social disorganization. Punishment may reduce crime, but in so doing, causes a comparable amount of harm to offenders. Instead, Golash suggests, we should address criminal acts through trial, conviction, and compensation to the victim, while also providing the criminal with the opportunity to reconcile with society through morally good action rather than punishment.

Doelstelling: Deze scriptie is een geannoteerde vertaling van enkele fragmenten uit de Amerikaanse roman "I Know This Much Is True" van Wally Lamb. In het commentaargedeelte wordt uitgebreid ingegaan op de taal die in het boek wordt gebruikt: Amerikaans Engels en vooral slang en colloquial language. Centraal staat hoe die taalniveaus kunnen worden vertaald naar het Nederlands. Verder wordt er ook aandacht geschonken aan een aantal andere vertaalproblemen (o.a. de vertaling van vreemde woorden in de brontaal, en de vertaling van maten en gewichten). Middelen of methode: De basistekst is de roman "I Know This Much Is True" van de Amerikaanse schrijver Wally Lamb. Voor de vertaling werden allerlei woordenboeken geraadpleegd. De hulpmiddelen voor het commentaargedeelte bestonden hoofdzakelijk uit wetenschappelijke werken over Amerikaans Engels en slang. Resultaten: De vertaling van Engelse slangwoorden en colloquialisms in het Nederlands is complex, omdat het Nederlands niet echt een algemeen verspreid slangregister rijk is, maar eerder gericht is op regionale varianten en dialecten. Bovendien bestaan er weinig of geen nuttige gespecialiseerde werken of woordenboeken over Nederlands slang.

"In the standard theory of Mackey functors for a group G, the group is either finite, or a compact Lie group. In the present paper, we develop an alternative notion of a Mackey profunctor that works better for profinite groups. The most important practical example is , the profinite completion of the group of the integers, and in this case, our Mackey profunctors appear naturally in the theory of cyclotomic traces"--
