Enola and Sherlock in Nighttown*

Filed under: General — m759 @ 3:39 am

From my RSS feed yesterday —

Dorothy E. Smith, Groundbreaker in Feminist Sociology, Dies at 95.
NY Times obituary by Clay Risen / June 16, 2022 at 05:22 PM ET.

That obituary describes a background for Smith that makes her seem
like the fictional Enola Holmes, sister of Sherlock.

For her Sherlock, see . . .

Ullin Thomas Place (1924 – 2000): Philosopher and psychologist .

From Place's online bibliography

Chomsky, N., Place, U. T., & Schoneberger, T. (Ed.) (2000),
"The Chomsky-Place Correspondence 1993-1994," in 
The Analysis of Verbal Behavior , 17 (1), 7-38.

The word "correspondence" has, of course, a meaning of greater interest.

Symmetry, Duality, and Cinema

— Title of a Paris conference held June 17, 2010

From that conference, Edward Frenkel on symmetry and duality

"Symmetry plays an important role in geometry, number theory, and quantum physics. I will discuss the links between these areas from the vantage point of the Langlands Program. In this context 'duality' means that the same theory, or category, may be described in two radically different ways. This leads to many surprising consequences."

This journal on the date of the Paris conference
had a post, "Nighttown," with some remarks about
the duality of darkness and light. Its conclusion—

"By groping toward the light we are made to realize
 how deep the darkness is around us."
