KH. Abdullah Syafi'i (1910–1985) was a central Betawi scholar whose influence on Islamic education and urban da'wah in Jakarta remains understudied, particularly in relation to how his institutions navigated the intersection of pesantren traditions and educational modernization. Previous scholarship has largely focused on his biography or community activism, leaving a gap in explaining the structural transformation of Betawi-based Islamic schools and their contribution to the development of urban pesantren in Indonesia. This study addresses that gap by analyzingAbdullah Syafi'i’s educational initiatives, socio-religious leadership, and da'wah strategies within the broader evolution of modern Indonesian Islamic education. Employing a qualitative historical-sociological approach, the study draws on archival documents, institutional records, and selective interviews to trace the development of the As-Syafi'iyah educational network. The findings reveal that Abdullah Syafi'i introduced an integrated religious–general curriculum, strengthened mass da'wah through organized majelis taklim, utilized radio as a pioneering medium for Islamic outreach, and established orphan-based boarding schools as a model of urban social empowerment. The study argues that Abdullah Syafi'i represents a distinctive model of urban ulama who simultaneously preserved tradition and advanced modernization. His contributions expand the scholarly understanding of Indonesian Islamic education, offering an urban-based perspective on pesantren reform that challenges dominant rural and Java-centric frameworks.

This review considers the book by M. I. Starostina, dedicated to the study of the life path of naval chaplain Hieromonk Alexy (Okoneshnikov), one of the most famous chaplains of the Russian Imperial Navy in the early 20th century. The authors of the review have concluded that this work corrects, complements, structures and fully reveals the biography of the hieromonk. Written in an accessible manner, the book consists of logically constructed and smoothly transitioning one into another parts of the narrative, which are based on an extensive source base (including archival materials). Of course, the work is not without certain imperfections and, in addition, it has a local history style, but undoubtedly deserves the attention of an interested reader.

This study describes capturing the life story of an exemplary Seventhday Adventist church member in Rwanda. It aims to present the essential details that led to understanding the participant’s life experiences that may inspire current and future Christians, educators, and church leaders. The leadership emergence theory by Robert Clinton formed the theoretical framework, which extended to several related themes. The study used a narrative inquiry design with one purposefully selected participant. The data was collected through interviews, observations, documents, and a literature review. Reported here is the biography that is the initial product of a narrative inquiry. This biography results from restoring, a procedure used in narrative inquiry where the story is chronologically organized to the purpose of the study. The participant of this study applied the spiritual gifts and skills he obtained throughout his training in different fields of his work-life experiences. As a result, he made a vast contribution to developing the Seventh-day Adventist church and schools he served. This study recommends that aspiring Adventist Church leaders and church members accept God’s calling and serve Him, regardless of position, time, place, monetary benefits, or other things.

Based on unpublished sources and emigrant memoirs, the work analyzes the issue of social adaptation to the conditions of emigration in Manchuria by representatives of the «Omsk group», which consisted of former members of the anti-Bolshevik Siberian governments during the Civil War. Based on the theory of social adaptation and the anthropological approach, the article focuses on such aspects of the biography of this category of figures as behavioral strategies, service on the Chinese Eastern Railway, and the choice of citizenship. The study of the destiny of the “Omichi” in Harbin is necessary to present the activities of Russian public and political figures after the Civil War, to understand the problems of emigration in Manchuria and the peculiarities of the existence of the liberal intelligentsia.

The aim of this article is to show the learning potential of participation in protests in the narratives of several adults. Participation in rebellions is seen as a specific learning experience here. What is the relationship between experience and learning on the example of participation in rebellions? The author analyses this relationship, inter alia, on the example of critical practices described by Usher. This article is a part of a broader research project on learning mechanisms of adults participating in various forms of rebellion. The study is concerned with answering the questions: what and how do protesters learn? what are the social and cultural mechanisms of their learning? In this research project a biographical perspective was used. Within it, the biography is understood in a processual way. The biographical method focuses on the subjective level of experience in the socio-cultural and institutional context. The empirical material was analysed by searching for similarities and differences in rebels’ narratives. The results of the study are above all the identification of learning outcomes and identity-building processes.

In his pamphlet on istibdāl or the act of giving, Qinalizāde ‘Ali Efendi, qualifies Hilāl and Khassāf as “the shining stars in the sky of the waqf [law] and the pillars that the roof of waqf [law] is looming over them.” Due to their importance, the books written by Hilāl and Khassāf, who lived in the formative period of Hanafī fiqh, began to be abridged in the following periods. Nāsıhī, who first served as a qādī and a qādī al-qudāt in the Ghaznavid state, wrote a mukhtasar on the Hilal and Khassāf books. Jamal al-din Mahmoud Qunawī, one of the Mamlūk qādī al-qudāt, who died about three and a half centuries after Nāsıhī, also wrote a similar mukhtasar onthese works. Finally, the Hanafī faqīh from Damascus, Burhānaddīn Tarablosī, wrote a mukhtasar named al-Is’āf fî ahkām al-awqāf. As a result of the recent examinations of older library collections, it is believed that the mukhtasar of Jamal al-din Mahmoud Qunawī may be waiting for discovery as a manuscript in the libraries. This study presents valuable information about the life and works of Jamal al-din Mahmoud Qunawī, known as “Ibnü’s-Sirāj”. The paper also provides the critical edition of the mukhtasar called Muntakhab Waqfay Hilāl walKhassāf, which Qunawī wrote regarding the field of Hanafī waqf law. The sources claim that Qunawī served as a qādī al-qudāt of Damascus in the Mamlūk state and penned works in hadīth, tafsīr, ʿaqāʾid in addition to his more numerous works in the field of fiqh.

The Art Exhibition as a Novel by Enrique Vila-Matas. I set out to analyze, using the New Rhetoric methods, the book entitled Cabinet d`amateur, an oblique novel published by the contemporary Spanish writer Enrique Vila-Matas in 2019, at the same time as the opening of an exhibition whose curator he was in the Whitechapel Gallery in east London. Choosing the six visual art works, different in nature, concept, and aesthetics, from the collection of the “laCaixa” Foundation represents an occasion for the writer, led by curiosity, to investigate the works of art and to make a personal, purely subjective selection, on which he reflects in his heterogenic work as a genre: the catalogue of an exhibition, memoirs, essay (auto)biography, the skeleton of an oblique novel of the future. The selected works of art (I.G., the mysterious portrait of a woman by the painter Gerhard Richter; an installation, Petite, by Dominique Gonzalez-Foerster; a videoclip, La lección respiratoria, belonging to the artist Dora García; Milonga, Carlos Pazos’s self-portrait; a detailed scenery, Une poignée de terre, by Miquel Barceló and a photography of Theban by Andreas Gursky, in an overlap of an aerial view with one detailed figure) are included in the text as a starting point for meditations and reflections upon the nature of the art in general, because the metaphor of the literary work, the novel of the future, is precisely the building of Rem Koolhass, the library in Seattle, in which different styles overlap and whose shapes are imprecise, undetermined, incongruent, disharmonic and lacking in logic. Literature, visual arts, music, and architecture are associated, and different figures are used to point out the aesthetic of the negative and the idea that form and content are interchangeable. REZUMAT. Expoziția de artă vizuală ca roman al lui Enrique Vila-Matas. În această lucrare, ne propunem să analizăm, apelând la metodele neoretoricii, cartea publicată de scriitorul contemporan spaniol Enrique Vila-Matas, în 2019, cu titlul Cabinet d`amateur, una novela oblicua (Cabinet d`amateur, an oblique novel) odată cu vernisajul expoziției de la Whitechapel Gallery din estul Londrei al cărei curator a fost. Alegerea celor șase opere de artă vizuală, diferite ca natură, concept și estetică, din colecția Fundației „laCaixa” este un prilej pentru scriitor de a cerceta, mânat de curiozitate, operele și de a face o selecție personală, pur subiectivă, asupra căreia reflectează în opera sa eterogenă ca gen: catalog al unei expoziții, memorii, eseu, (auto)biografie literară, schelet al unui roman oblic al viitorului. Operele selectate (I.G., un portret misterios de femeie al pictorului Gerhard Richter; o instalație, Petite, de Dominique Gonzalez-Foerster; un video, La lección respiratoria, aparținând artistei Dora García; Milonga, autoportretul lui Carlos Pazos; un peisaj în detaliu, Une poignée de terre, de Miquel Barceló și o fotografie a Tebei de Andreas Gursky, într-o suprapunere a unei vederi aeriene cu una figurativă detaliată) sunt incluse în text ca puncte de plecare pentru meditații și reflecții asupra naturii artei în general, deoarece metafora arhitecturii operei literare, romanul viitorului, este chiar clădirea lui Rem Koolhass, biblioteca din Seattle, în care se suprapun stiluri diferite și ale cărei forme sunt imprecise, neterminate, incongruente, dizarmonice și lipsite de logică. Sunt asociate literatura, artele vizuale, muzica, arhitectura, se recurge la figuri diferite pentru a evidenția estetica negativului și ideea că forma și conținutul sunt substituibile. Cuvinte-cheie: Enrique Vila-Matas, Cabinet d´amateur, una novela oblicua, analiză retorico-generală, expoziția ca roman, biografie literară

I feel honored to receive so many deep, critical, supportive, expanding, and thought-provoking commentaries on my original paper “A student’s right to freedom of education” from undergraduate university students, educators, and educational researchers. These commentaries involve different genres: on-the-margin contextual comments, theoretical essays, ethnographies of their pedagogical practices, reflective sharing of good and bad personal educational experiences, personal authorial opinions, critiques, students’ course evaluations, analysis of science-fiction literature, investigation of Bakhtin’s biography, video replies, a list of questions, and so on. Once Socrates complained about the print text that it is impossible to ask the text new questions – the text won’t reply to these questions. In this special essay, we tried to overcome this problem by involving each other in address-reply commentaries on each other’s texts. We want to invite the readers of this special issue to join us in our dialogues of agreement and disagreement.                In my reply to the commentaries, I want to focus on the issues raised by the commentators that most touched me. This focus is on the relationship between a student’s authorial education and a teacher’s authorial teaching, where “teacher” is understood on a range between an individual educator and the entire society. I want to apologize in advance if I left out important concerns that some of the commentators wanted me to address (feel free to raise it again on the margin) if I severely misinterpreted their idea or point (please correct me on the margin). Here I focused on the following six major issues raised by the commentators. The first issue is raised by several undergraduate students from Canada, Russia, and South Korea about the possibility (and reality) of some students actively rejecting their freedom of education. Isn’t it a case for rejection of my call for a student’s right to freedom of education? The second issue raised by many commentators is about imaginary and real cases when foisted education is effective and even, arguably, more effective than student-owned education. Do these cases defeat my overall argument that student’s freedom of education is required by education itself? The third issue was introduced by my colleague and a proponent of self-directed learning Kevin Currie-Knight when he asked a deceptively simple question of what I mean by “student.” Usually, the role of a student is defined either by the institution or by the teacher, which implicitly goes against the spirit of my claim for a student’s right to freedom of education. The fourth issue eloquently raised by an Ecuadorian undergraduate exchange student, Juan Francisco Poveda, studying at the Kyung Hee University in Seoul, about whether education must be subordinated to the needs of the society. Fifth, I consider the relationship between the education-for-myself and the education-for-the-other, the new terms introduced by my Russian colleagues. My overall vista in considering this relationship is authorship: the student’s educational authorship or the teacher’s pedagogical authorship. In a disagreement with some commentators and in an agreement with some other commentators, I argue that the teacher’s pedagogical authorship must be subordinated to the student’s educational authorship through the teacher’s pedagogical fiduciary obligation. Finally, I will revisit the Kantian educational paternalism by considering the two, arguably, most powerful and extreme cases for foisted education: foisted education for the survival of the society and foisted education for a student’s agency awakening. In my conclusion, I will summarize the presented reasons for why a student’s freedom is needed for education and briefly discuss how to test my claims.

This article explores how Lauren Redniss’s Radioactive: Marie & Pierre Curie: A Tale of Love and Fallout (2010) uses expressive drawings, lettering, layouts, tableaus, colour, photographs and archival documents to challenge traditional biographical conventions. Drawing on art history, comics studies, feminist science history, and biography theory, it proposes that Radioactive initially invites readers into the pleasures of intimate knowledge of a complex female figure through alluring hand-drawn visual sequences that recreate both Curie’s era and aura. However, this romanticized and even eroticized view of the subject shifts as the graphic biography of Marie Curie transforms into the graphic biography of her primary discovery, the element radium, and the later twentieth century tragedies of atomic warfare and nuclear fallout. The article concludes that Radioactive is an experiment in graphic biography that highlights how the border between the seen and the unseen cuts across atomic science, biographical narrative, and visual storytelling.

The author based his observations and his conclusions upon memoires of Ksenia Grundt Duma (Ксения Грундт-Дюме). She was a well-known ballerina throughout Europe, as she was dancing on many stages from Russian Kharkov to Paris. From her memoirs, the copy of which the author found in his archive, he learned about many ballet life details and things that enriched his previous knowledge on this matter. The author redacted the paper and selected lines which describe the life of Ksenia Grundt spent in the Kingdom of Yugoslavia, particularly those lightening ballet life in Belgrade, and the National Theater Belgrade scene. In the Belgrade National Theater Ksenia came from Zagreb in April 1926, and had her debut in the 3rd act in ‘Swan Lake’ ballet, the choreographer of which was Alexander Fortunato. He had just staged ‘Swan Lake’ with great imagination’, as she recorded in her memoirs. From that time onward her biography was closely related with the former Kingdom of Yugoslavia. In fact, there are several related topics in her memoirs: first, depictions of a difficult emigrant life, living drawings of Russian ballet dancers’ lives far from their homeland, and far from the glamorous and light stage effects; second, there are many famous names and recordings of them previously unknown but now revealed to the researcher: there are details about her contacts and work not only with Fortunato, but also with Nina Kirsanova, Elena Polyakova, to mention a few. In addition, many pages of her memoirs addressed the name of her protege Igor Yushkevich, a talented dancer whom she thought in Belgrade. From his first ballet steps made under her supervision, he established his name as a well-known ballet dancer associated with the famous Russian Monte Carlo Ballet and with the birth of the American Ballet Theater. So, from Ksenia Grundt’s memoirs many unknown pages of Igor Yushkevich’s life could be learned along with the whole of ballet world from that period, the dancers, the critics, the repertoire, and primarily the role and place of the Russian ballet masters in the vast Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes. The author selected lines which describe the ballet scene of Belgrade of the time, the relationship among Russian emigres and the ballet scenes in the former Kingdom of Yugoslavia, and from those facts the author built his views and his conclusions on this matter, which has been his research field for decades. The importance of these memoirs are notably in the fact that the selected pages not only expanded, but also enriched the ideas and knowledge about the life of Russian ballet actors in Serbia. Further, implications of the publication of the selected pages are that the publication lays the foundation for the further works on the history on Serbian ballet, and can be effectively used for research of the development and beauty of the Serbian ballet in which many Russian ballet names have invested a lot of their work and talent.

The article deals with the specificity of professional reflection of the future music teacher in the light of the development of the ideas by E. B. Abdullin. The accumulation of one’s own experience of entering the world of music, the art of teaching, its comprehension and analysis allow a thoughtful student to look at the process of musical education through the eyes of students, their parents, that is, to take the reflective position of a teacher-researcher. The search for ways and means of solving professionally significant tasks requires a music teacher to think reflectively, understand the actions of his students and colleagues, and penetrate their feelings and thoughts. The importance of reflection in solving problem situations, pedagogical tasks, in mastering critical thinking by a future music teacher is substantiated. The conceptual foundations for professional reflection development of a future teacher-musician have been worked out, the structure of reflective analysis and the conditions for the effectiveness of its development by students have been revealed. The techniques and methods of preparing future bachelors and masters of music education for professional reflection in the process of studying at a university, during school practice, in various types of independent, research work of students are considered. The authors have adapted special reflexive techniques (artistic-pedagogical tasks, search games, storytelling, reflective life story, musical reflection, reflective analysis, interviews, pedagogical essays, creative portfolio). The article analyzes the experience of Dutch specialists, the author’s methods of foreign researchers (ALACT – model, “Wall”, “Arrows”, “Visiting card”, a system of reflective questions, etc.). Adapted for use by students in music lessons in the course of pedagogical practice, they become effective means for introspection, self-assessment of the activities of future bachelors / masters of music education. Based on the material of autobiographies and interviews of great musicians-performers, actual problems of music education, ways of spiritually reflexive entry into the world of art and artistic creation are analyzed.

This study explores whether integrating multicultural content within a genetics laboratory course affected students’ awareness of diversity and their perceptions of scientists’ identities. Genetics laboratory curricula typically focus on content and experimental procedures, with cursory references to the scientists who made these discoveries. The resulting poor racial and gender representation in the curricula propagate biases about the abilities and contributions of scientists from underrepresented groups, which may adversely affect the retention and success of students in these groups. Initially, students completed a pre-test in which they were asked to recall the names of geneticists and their scientific contributions. Later students created a mock magazine issue featuring a diverse set of experts in genetics, specifically members of traditionally underrepresented gender/sexuality and/or racial/ethnic groups. To facilitate this assignment, students were randomly assigned a geneticist from a pool of active research scientists, spanning a wide range of scientific and cultural backgrounds and identities. Each student wrote a 500-word biography of their assigned geneticist and read biographies composed by peers. Then, in groups, the students categorized biographies based on student-selected unifying themes into a table of contents. On the final exam, the pre-test was repeated as a post-test. In the pre-test, scientists listed by students were 94% male and 6% female, with no members of other underrepresented groups included. In the post-test, scientists listed by students shifted to 84% male and 16% female with 18% from underrepresented groups. These data suggest that this intervention increases awareness of the multicultural nature of scientists.

The aim of the work. Put into scientific circulation and analyze the letters of the composer, choral conductor, teacher, activist of "Prosvita", Ukrainian patriot Serhii Fedorovych Telezhynskyi to the outstanding conductor and popularizer of Ukrainian song Oleksandr Koshyts. Also draw the attention of researchers to the little-known figure of Serhii Telezhynskyi, his professional activities and reduce the number of white spots in his biography. The research methodology is based on biographical, prosopographical and historical-logical methods, thanks to which it is possible to analyze the correspondence of two outstanding cultural figures of Ukraine in the conditions of Stalin's totalitarian regime. The scientific novelty of the study lies in the introduction into scientific circulation of S. F. Telezhynskyi's letters, which are stored in O. A. Koshyts' own fond at the Ukrainian Cultural and Educational Center (Oseredok) in Winnipeg (Manitoba, Canada) and is a unique and at the same time difficult-to-access source for the history of Ukrainian culture. Conclusions. To reveal an important aspect of the biographies of S. Telezhynskyi and O. Koshyts regarding the possible return of the latter to his homeland, the disclosure of the circumstances in which the return took place and developed, in particular in the conditions of strengthening of the totalitarian regime in the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, their correspondence is undoubtedly a valuable source. Analysis of S. F. Telezhynskyi's correspondence reveals his sincere desire to serve his homeland, his organizational activities with the involvement of the best forces in the musical industry in the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic, in particular the son of the famous Ukrainian composer M. V. Lysenko - Ostap.

Exceptional personality of the Romanian national movement from Transylvania, Iacob Bologa, to which birth are now two centuries, is unfortunately almost unknown. Jurist, political personality, founder of cultural and financial institutions, Iacob Bologa have totally identified himself with the Romanian national movement from the Habsburg monarchy. He was one of the active participants at the revolutionary events from 1848-1849, he was aulic counselor at Vienna, important member of Romanian National Party from Transylvania, founder of ,,Albina” Bank and also deeply implied in the cultural movement, as founder member, vice-president and president of ASTRA Association. Through this material, we have tried to realize a short evocation of the personality of the one who was Iacob Bologa, at two centuries after his birth, completed through a short biographic presentation realized by Constantin Popp, the director of ,,Albina” Bank from Sibiu.

Although no conventional biography of Allan Boesak has been published, either by himself or others, we have enough data and information in various places. This is especially true since the 2009 publication of his Running with Horses. In this essay, we attempt an appraisal of the contribution of Allan Boesak to politics and theology by focusing on key milestones and reflections in his life. We take our cue from Boesak’s own self-definition of being a theologian and a political activist. While this article is not a thorough-going theological, the roots and sources of his theology and politics will be explored.
