Reference excerpt

Mima Simić (born Ana Marija Simić; 4 February 1976) is a Croatian writer, film critic, translator and an LGBT media activist. She holds degrees in Comparative Literature and English Language and Literature from the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences, University of Zagreb and Gender Studies from the Central European University.

Career Simić wrote for the Feral Tribune in the 2000s. She is the author of a short story collection Pustolovine Glorije Scott (The Adventures of Gloria Scott, AGM, 2005), which is currently being made into an animated series and a collection of film essays Otporna na Hollywood (HFS, 2009). Her short stories and various other texts have been published in numerous Croatian and international magazines, journals and anthologies.

Activism and media work Simić is particularly interested in activist interventions in the media. In 2007, Simić went on Tko želi biti milijunaš?, the Croatian version of the Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? and outed herself as a lesbian. She ended up winning 125,000 HRK. For her activist engagement in 2011, she was named the Croatian LGBT person of the decade by the Zagreb Pride Committee. During the debate on 2013 Croatian constitutional referendum, Simić was the guest on Nedjeljom u dva, becoming the first out lesbian to appear in the long history of this most popular Croatian political TV show. Simić received a literary grant from the Croatian Ministry of Culture in 2012. From 2013 to 2015, Simić hosted the weekly TV show Peti dan (Fifth Day) on Croatian Radiotelevision. During the leftist-liberal coalition government, Simić was named to the Croatian Ministry of Culture's committee for non-profit media in 2013, 2014, and 2015. The committee was relieved by the next and shortest nationalist-democrats coalition government. With her band Drvena Marija (Wooden Mary), Simić took part in protests calling for the government's resignation organized by the far-left Workers' Front on 1 February 2016. In 2017, Simić has signed the Declaration on the Common Language of the Croats, Serbs, Bosniaks and Montenegrins.

Political work Simić was an active member of Zagreb is OURS, a green-left political platform, since its start in 2017. Running for the European Parliament in the 2019 elections on the list of the Croatian left-green coalition We can!, she became the first Croatian openly lesbian politician.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Mima Simić

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Mima Simić claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In science, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Mima Simić before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Mima Simić ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Mima Simić

In research: Mima Simić appears in science research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Mima Simić in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Mima Simić is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 1976 births, 21st-century Croatian LGBTQ people, 21st-century Croatian women writers, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Mima Simić outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
