ON THE VERY IDEA OF CRITERIA FOR PERSONHOOD
I examine the familiar criterial view of personhood, according to which the possession of personal properties such as self‐consciousness, emotionality, sentience, and so forth is necessary and sufficient for the status of a person. I argue that this view confuses criteria for personhood with parts of an ideal of personhood. In normal cases, we have already identified a creature as a person before we start looking for it to manifest the personal properties, indeed this pre‐identification is part of what makes it possible for us to see and interpret the creature as a person in the first place. This pre‐identification is typically based on biological features. Except in some interesting special or science‐fiction cases, some of which I discuss, it is human animals that we identify as persons.

How to know a crow : the biography of a brainy bird
Crows are all around us, shouting from lamp posts, poking around on lawns, and generally taking a bright-eyed interest in everything that moves. But most of us don't know much about their lives. Author Candace Savage invites us into the fascinating world of these big, brash, and surprisingly brainy birds. From the moment baby crow Oki pokes her egg tooth through her shell and emerges into her nest, we are her constant companions. As we follow her through the seasons of her life, we explore how crows see and sense the world, and uncover the answers to questions such as: Do crows have families? How do crows communicate with one another? Do crows play? How can we interact with them?

Vasilii Shukshin and the Russian Fairy Tale: A Study of \Until the Cock Crows Thrice\
In spite of Vasilii Shukshin's multifaceted talent as author, film director, and actor, he has been described simply as a narodnyi rasskazchik ('folk storyteller'). Until the Cock Crows Thrice, a modern-day fairy tale, displays careful attention to folkloric traditions. My study includes a brief outline of the tale, places it within the context of the author's œuvre, and examines the targets of his satire. Furthermore, an analysis is made of Shukshin's position within the development of the twentieth-century Russian fairy tale. Shukshin's story, published in 1975, may be regarded as an influential precursor to the inverted fairy tales of the 1980s and 1990s by authors such as Evgenii Popov and Liudmila Petrushevskaia.
