Печальная новость. Скончался Гюнтер Кресс. Получил мейл от его ближайшего ученика Джеффа Беземера, который был с Гюнтером в поездке и до конца оставался с ним. Это мейл он послал еще Ване Фомину и Сурену Золяну. Вот это короткое послание - I am sorry to let you know that Gunther died unexpectedly yesterday. We were on our way to give a key note at a conference in Rome when he got unwell. He later died in the hospital.
He was calm, and was surrounded by many friends.
Потом уже в сети сообщение Яна Бломэрта - A really great one passed away. My dear friend Gunther Kress died of heart failure in Rome yesterday, where he was attending a conference. He was there with friends, all of whom are heartbroken. Gunther was not just a scholar who defined the direction of thought of at least two generations of scholars in semiotics, multimodality, pedagogy and social thought. He was also a genuinely kind man, a wonderful friend and such fun to be around with. His death is a big personal blow to me.
Read, if you want to pay tribute, his "Before Writing" book. Gunther wrote a lot, but for me that one still stands out as a monument of ideas and revolutionary scholarship.
Меня с Гюнтером связывало многое. Не только научные интересы, но душевное сродство. Я привык, что он далеко, то в Австралии, то на другом конце Европы. А сейчас уже могу ощущать и ощущаю, что он рядом. Об этом и написал Джеффу - Dear Jeff,
It is a sad news indeed.
I have been very happy to meet both of you in Kaliningrad last time. You remember that when we met at a supper - nobody knew it to be the last one - in hotel Turist we discussed prospect for further joint ventures. Since then I have been looking for our next meeting. Sorry it is no more possible physically. But we definitely continue our intellectual and scholarly communion with Gunter.
I shall always remember Gunther. He'll remain my intellectual partner along with other minds I count on and esteem.
