Research framework : Cancer is the most common life-threatening disease in Canadian children. It is a traumatic family experience. Authors point out that affected families are more vulnerable if they do not have sufficient resources to support their resilience process. Families living in communities far from hospital centres specialized in pediatric oncology (HCSPO) face additional challenges because of limited access to resources and services that can meet their immediate needs. While the family experience of pediatric cancer is well documented in the scientific literature, the experience of being far from an HCSPO remains under explored. Gottlieb's strengths-based approach to care and Walsh's (2012 ; 2016b) family resilience building theory guided this study. This article presents findings from the first phase of a larger study, conducted between 2015 and 2021, those related to different contexts that may exacerbate family vulnerability. Objective: Exploring factors related to the resilience process of families accompanying a child with cancer in a remote context (FACCRC). Methodology : A descriptive qualitative approach was adopted by using 26 semi-structured individual and group interviews (n = 50 people: 39 members of 11 families, 11 nurses). Results: Among the results obtained in the larger study, two main contexts of remoteness were identified and are presented here: (1) when the FACCRC are in their community, at the time of the child's diagnosis, on their returns from the HCSPO and on a daily basis, and (2) when they are at the HCSPO, far from their loved ones and their usual landmarks. Contexts with specific risk factors that can compromise their resilience process. Findings: Remoteness is a multi-contextual, persistent experience that affects all family members. It requires a specific family assessment, and is facilitated by better communication and collaboration between the specialized and regional hospital centres. Contribution: The proposal of valuable leads for care more adapted to the reality of FACCRC.

The compilation known as the Extract of Various Prophecies (Auszug etlicher Practica und Prophezeiungen) was the most popular prophetic pamphlet in Germany in the decade between 1516 and 1525. While the Extract was known to contain excerpts from the Prognosticatio of Johannes Lichtenberger and the Speculum of Johannes Grünpeck, this article identifies the sources of the introduction (Simon Eyssenmann’s annual prognostication for 1514) and the concluding verse (an annual prognostication for 1508) and clarifies the process of compilation. In contrast to earlier views that see it as a clumsy and illogical collection of excerpts, this article finds in the Extract a coherent near-term apocalypse. Hans Stainberger, a bookseller from Zwickau, played a decisive role in the pamphlet’s early dissemination, while its later circulation provides a case study in the circulation of apocalyptic ideas and the interaction between prophetic texts and prophetic preaching at the time of the Reformation.

A Russian animated film director Andrei Khrzhanovsky (b. 1939) has made a highly successful cinematic career spanning more than fifty years (his animation discussed in the monographs and articles of Maureen Furness, Laura Pontieri, Maya Balakirsky Katz, Sergei Kapkov, among others). Khrzhanovsky works in different cel animation techniques (drawn and cut-out animation) and is famous for the adaptation of classic prose and poetry through found images – the authors’ correspondence, diaries and drawings (The Pushkin Cycle, 1975–1987; A Cat and a Half, 2002). Frequently, the found images take the form of visual quotations from European art. In the animated films Glass Harmonica (1968), A Grey-Bearded Lion (1995, an adaptation of Tonino Guerra’s tale) and Long Journey (1997), Khrzhanovsky uses images of Italian art to shape atmospheric effects, which position an artist as “not belonging”. In Glass Harmonica appropriated images of Renaissance and surrealist art help to elaborate on the artist’s political nonconformism: “belonging” refers to the dominant narratives of state-sponsored ideology while “not belonging” (Mikhail Bakhtin’s position outside; Alexei Yurchak’s living ‘vnye’) – to different alternative truths of an outsider.In A Grey-Bearded Lion Khrzhanovsky adapts Tonino Guerra’s tale about an Italian circus, and in Long Journey repurposes auteur cinema images and drawings (Federico Fellini) to comment on other issues of the artistic journey and freedom. While erasing the significance of the political context in a more existential sense, Khrzhanovsky continues to use atmospheric effects to portray an artist as an outsider. This essay delves into different manipulations of the mise-en-scène and the movement, which influence the characters’ and the viewer’s “atmospheric feelings”. Focusing on four criteria from Hermann Schmitz’s “felt-bodily alphabet”, two associated with spaces (filled or empty, condensed or non-condensed) and the other two – with types of movement (centripetal or centrifugal; quite or excited), I will look at the dynamics of atmospheric effects in Khrzhanovsky’s animation that positions an artist as not belonging.

A prevailing need in biblical studies is a comprehensive set of valid arguments for determining the direction of dependence once a literary relationship between two texts in the Hebrew Bible is reasonably established. This study takes a step toward addressing this lacuna by inductively cataloguing, illustrating, and evaluating eight criteria used to substantiate a proposed direction of borrowing in cases of inner-biblical allusion in Isaianic scholarship. These criteria provide a working list of plausible arguments that can be used when claiming the direction of influence in other cases of inner-biblical allusion throughout the Hebrew Bible. Such a list encourages both methodological clarity due to the increased precision of defined categories and scholarly creativity by suggesting multiple viable means to argue for the direction of dependence.

While early canonical Jain literature may well justify the assessment that some scholars have made about the Jains’ stoic resistance to medical aid, later post-canonical Śvetāmbara Jain texts reveal in fact a much more complex relationship to practices of healing. They make frequent references to medical practice and the alleviation of sickness, describing various medical procedures and instruments and devoting long sections to the interaction between doctors and monastics as issues that a monastic community would have to negotiate as a matter of course. The amount of medical knowledge — indeed fascination with healing human ailments — evident in these later texts invites us to pause before concluding that pre-modern Jain monastic traditions were disinterested in alleviating physical distress. It seems that, on the contrary, the question of when and how to treat the sick within the community emerged as a central concern that preoccupied the monastic authorities and commentators and left its mark on the texts they compiled. Moreover, from the early medieval period onwards, Jains enter the history of Indian medical literature as authors and compilers of actual medical treatises. In what follows, I try to trace this historical shift in Śvetāmbara Jain attitudes to medicine and healing, from the early canonical texts to post-canonical commentaries on the mendicants’ rules. Specifically, I focus on the treatment of medicine in three monastic commentaries composed around the sixth and seventh centuries CE.
