I studied the success of Vignette's marketing literature and began to think about what it would be like if one actually built a product like the one they imply they have.
Vignette is software that allows a Tcl programmer to extract data from an RDBMS and hand it to the Netscape Enterprise Server for delivery to a Web user.
Yes, what Vignette does is, the first time someone requests a page, the code written by the publisher's programmer is executed.

 Defining Experience: The "Poems of Seductive Allure" - Questia Online Library
Yuan Zhen was one of many mid-Tang writers who were deeply engaged in rethinking the boundaries and capacities of wen, and in his letters and essays on literature, we see Yuan calling upon literary history and canonical standards to create a framework for his own and others' literary experiments.
Yuan Zhen's "poetry of seductive allure"--or what we think remains of it--had a curious transmission history after the Tang, a history that has surely affected readers' understanding of Yuan Zhen's oeuvre and the shape of romantic literature in the mid-Tang generally.
What makes Yuan Zhen's yanshi unusual in the mid-Tang context is not so much Yuan's version of the Tang romantic vignette (although there are odd features in his vignettes that I will explore) as his deliberate attempt to incorporate such romantic texts into his larger literary oeuvre.

 Jouvert 7.2: Kareva Mateata-Allain, "Ma'ohi Women Writers of Colonial French Polynesia"
Another vignette, "The Old Woman" ("La Vieille Dame"), relates the spiritual and ethnic conflicts wrought by colonization, using the time frame of a single afternoon.
I will also argue how the metaphoric political rupture in French Polynesia categorizes Ma'ohi literature as post(-)colonial.
In order to establish my argument that Ma'ohi literature is metaphorically post(-)colonial, I will show how the Ma'ohi reject aspects of colonial assimilative mentality through a return to the old ways, a resurrection of cultural, linguistic, artistic, and spiritual indigenous values, and a reinvention, hence a Ma'ohi personalization, of the colonizer's language.

 Guardian The final irony
Not speaking German, nor watching much German TV, nor having read any German literature apart from Bernard Schlink who, let me tell you, is about as ironic as a dog chasing a squirrel, it's difficult to tell whether or not there's any truth in the rumour that they have no sense of irony.
Take, for instance, the opening sequences of Six Feet Under versus the opening sequences of Casualty - they both start every episode with a vignette in which a stranger dies a horrible death or suffers a hideous accident.
I read, too, that it was ironic for Alan Millburn to leave his job to spend more time with his family, when the doctors and nurses under his care don't have that facility; well, it's not ironic, it's just standard-issue self-interest, with maybe a smattering of hypocrisy.

 Projective identification or relational introjection? Gender, metaphor, and theory.
A case vignette is used to illustrate how a particular piece of therapeutic work could be conceptualized as either projective identification or relational introjection.
The latter conceptualization is also supported by early infant research and current literature on intersubjectivity in the therapeutic process.
Through a feminine metaphoric lens these phenomena could be seen as relational introjections.

There are also scenes of grandeur in the death of Cleopatra and in Damer's sculpture of Coriolanus and Virgilia, but balanced against these is the ever-present need to domesticate and soften: Volumnia and Virgilia at home with their needlework; Juliet and her Nurse; Cressida looking to the strength of Diomede; and Cordelia comforting her father.

Yakov Kamenetsky himself, for example, achieved the equivalent of a high-school diploma through private tutoring, and his classmate, the future charismatic leader of American Orthodoxy Rabbi Aaron Kotler, loved Russian literature, especially the works of Alexander Pushkin.
There is, indeed, a wonderful vignette of Rabbi Kamenetsky, in later years, mentioning "Anna Karenina" to his uncomprehending Torah Vodaath students in New York and expressing shock that they never heard of Leo Tolstoy's masterpiece.
Such reading was widespread even among those young yeshiva boys who, in the end, stayed Orthodox and became leading rabbis.

 Adorno, Theodor W.
The preeminent challenge of Adorno's aesthetics of negativity, and of his writings on literature and music, is the Marxist project of relating not only themes but also technique--not only content but also the intricacies of artistic form--to general social and historical development, while avoiding the familiar dead ends of orthodox Marxist criticism.
Each interpretive "vignette" is equal to the others, and together they constitute a new constellation.
Adorno's critique of Bertolt Brecht in this essay is less satisfying than his warnings of the dangers of existentialism: so intent is he on rejecting a particular "content" or "doctrine" advanced by the work that he also ignores Brecht's own technical and formal innovations in drama.
