Dans les sociétés occidentales, nommer l’enfant nouveau-né est aujourd’hui une responsabilité dévolue aux parents signataires de la déclaration de naissance, c’est-à-dire à ceux qui ont désiré que cet enfant devienne leur fils ou leur fille. Ce sont eux qui doivent lui transmettre un nom de famille et choisir les prénoms lui conférant une identité propre. À partir de l’analyse de 25 témoignages de parents québécois recueillis en entrevues, cet article explore le lien étroit établi entre désir d’enfant, filiation et nomination. L’analyse des récits sur l’histoire du couple, sur la naissance d’un premier enfant et sur les discussions entourant sa nomination aide à comprendre le sens que les parents donnent à l’enfant et à sa venue, et révèle que ce choix reflue parfois sur le choix du prénom.

ABSTRACTWith the increase in life expectancy, many people with intellectual disabilities (ID) are living in the family home with their parents. This research focuses on the experience of 17 fathers of adults with ID. These fathers answered a questionnaire including open and closed questions. During the individual interview, fathers described their motivations to cohabit with their son or daughter, cohabitation benefits and constraints, housing options considered and planning for the future. Results indicate that fathers chose this cohabitation. However, they experience anxiety because they do not know who will support the adult with ID when they can no longer do so. Postparental planning considerations include legal concerns and informal discussions with siblings or the extended family. These results describe a complex parental situation in which there is interaction between their emotions, their attachment to the adult with ID and their previous experiences with residential, social or rehabilitation services.

This paper discusses the concept of amateur fiction film (Shand 2013) under the perspective of borderline cinema (Lyra 2009). The purpose of this discussion is to offer different ways of mapping the Brazilian audiovisual production in order to attain a more comprehensive and inclusive history of the Brazilian independent film scene. In this sense, borderline cinema, as both a genre and a method of approach, will be related to the history of Brazilian amateur film (Foster 2010; Foster 2013) and to discussions of amateur fiction films worldwide (Edmonds 2013; Craven 2013).

O objetivo deste artigo é refletir sobre a possível leitura de Os Mandarins, de Simone de Beauvoir, como se romance histórico. Para tanto, a orientação teórica parte de discussões encontradas principalmente em Ricoeur (2010), Mignolo (1993) e Weinhardt (2011; 2015). A noção de tempo histórico é concebida pela apropriação do tempo pretérito e pelo modo como esse tempo é figurado na instância ficcional, marcando a vivência das personagens e condicionando a ação romanesca. Beauvoir refigura os tempos do passado no presente, e nele entrecruza a possibilidade de uma relação entre a história e a ficção. Isto é, Os Mandarins rompe com a premissa de que o discurso que se enquadra na convenção de ficcionalidade tem as relações entre discurso e mundo cortadas; assim como aquele que se enquadra na convenção de veracidade assumiria uma relação de correspondência entre o discurso e o mundo. Os fios do romance são seguramente tramados ao longo de mais de 700 páginas, desenhando cenas de uma França pós-guerra sob o olhar dos intelectuais parisienses. Os acontecimentos e personagens são tão irreais (pertencentes, nesse momento, ao mundo da ficção) quanto verdadeiros (fizeram parte, num outro momento, da realidade empírica). Os fios de tais convenções entrecruzam-se, portanto. J’aimais surprendre le passé au fond de chaque instant: dialogue entre l’histoire et la fiction dans Les MandarinsL’objectif de cet article est de réfléchir sur la possible lecture de Les Mandarins, de Simone de Beauvoir, comme si roman historique. Pour ça, l’orientation théorique c’est à propos des discussions fait par Ricoeur (2010), Mignolo (1993) et Weinhardt (2011; 2015). La notion de temps historique est conçue par l’appropriation du temps passé et par la manière comme ce temps est figuré dans l’instance fictionnelle, en marquant l’expérience des personnages et en conditionnant l’action romanesque. Beauvoir refigure les temps du passé dans le présent, et y croise la possibilité d’une relation entre l’histoire et la fiction. C’est-à-dire, Les Mandarins rompt avec la prémisse de que le discours qui correspond à la convention de fictionalité coupe les relations entre les discours et le monde ; ainsi comme celui qui correspond à la convention de véracité a une relation directe entre le discours et le monde. Les fils du roman sont tissés sur plus de 700 pages, en désignant des scènes d’une France de l’après-guerre sous les yeux d’intellectuels parisiens. Les événements et les personnages sont aussi irréel (appartenant, maintenant, au monde de la fiction) que vrais (ils faisaient partie, dans autre moment, de la réalité empirique). Les fils de telles conventions se croisent donc. DOI: 10.28998/2317-9945.2020n65p48-58

Documentary film festivals foster critical thinking and media literacy, exposing problems while also announcing possibilities (Paulo Freire). Attendees report gaining information and some claim perspective transformation from attendance at documentary festivals. Given such impact, documentary films were showed in carceral settings for some years before a research project examine the learning from a series of documentary film screening and group discussion with women in a carceral institution. Participants reported appreciation of the informal learning opportunities. They identified being inspired by seeing stories of people facing adversity and individually or collectively courageously challenging the situations they faced. Documentary films and the following discussions provided a liminal space where the participants claimed some respite from feeling incarcerated as they felt they were no longer ‘in prison’ during the weekly film screenings.

Full textAbstract:
Imbalanced gender representation and the reproduction of stereotypes in cinema are the subjects of international discussion and intervention by gender mainstreaming in the film industry. According to the UNESCO 2018 Global Report “Re|Shaping Cultural Policy”, women are under-represented in the film industry, have limited access to resources, and face significant gender pay gaps. Change is needed to create a world in which a woman as often as a man is a decision-maker and in which watching films written, directed, and made by women is widespread. The shortcomings in the management of funding and in the principle of diversity need to be addressed so that viewers can see different and diverse stories and experiences on cinema screens. The discussion “Stolen Kristaps” of the LTV1 program “100 grams of culture” actualized and localized the problem of gender parity in the film industry in Latvia. The discussion that started in TV format also continued on social media. The aim of the article is to explore the discussions inspired by the social media Facebook. The aim of the article is to find out what was discussed, what arguments were used, where are we, and where do we want to go? The analysis of the discussions reveals that there is no consensus among the representatives of the film and art industry on whether the lack of women’s stories in Latvian cinema is a problem. There is also a strong disagreement about possible approaches to resolving the situation.

This paper analyzes the audience’s reception of Colonia, a 2016 film by Florian Gallenberger. As a popular work, Colonia is a docudrama film that presents historical events happened in Chile during the coup of General Augusto Pinochet in 1973. The problems analyzed in this article are the reception process of respondents and the quality of Colonia as popular films. The film is chosen for the study as it received five nominations from German Film Awards 2016 and won Bavarian Film Awards 2016 for Best Production category, but it only has a rating of 26% from 47 reviews by Rotten Tomatoes. The respondents involved in this study are members of Kronik Filmedia of Diponegoro University. Kronik Filmedia is the university film club that focuses on producing short films and appreciating films by conducting film discussions. The purpose of the study is to describe the reception processes of respondents who are affected by their horizon of expectations and to prove that not all of popular works are low literature. The theory used in this paper is the Aesthetic of Reception theory by Hans Robert Jauss. The main concept of this theory is horizon of expectations. Horizon of expectations is a reader’s preferences from the previous experiences or readings. For the methodology, this paper uses qualitative research and focus group discussion as the data collecting method. Focus group discussion is a gathering data method by means of interviewing respondents in a forum consisted of five to eight people. Focus group discussion is an effective method to observe a social phenomenon or a case study. The data obtained is then analyzed as texts to draw a conclusion. The research involves eight members of Kronik Filmedia as respondents. The results of the research show the reception of Kronik Filmedia as Colonia can satisfy and even surpass seven out of eight respondents’ horizon of expectations as the film goes to be more ‘interesting’ and ‘thrilling’. All respondents also view that Colonia is worth to be studied and discussed as those of high literature.

Full textAbstract:
Two types of in-class discussions using feature films to stimulate discussion in a law and psychology course are described. In the first discussion, students identify legal doctrines and research findings relevant to the films, and they critique the accuracy of the films' representation of this material. The second discussion requires students to analyze the psycholegal issues the films evoke, critique the films' presentation of the issues, and evaluate their impact on the students' own positions. Participation in the discussions is intended to increase active learning and improve critical thinking. Using films may also improve students' perspective-taking skills. The subjectivity of films is one source of their attractiveness as teaching tools, but it also poses some educational risks.

AimsTo report on our progress and feedback running the Cambridge Mental Health Film Club. To share the recent development of a Standard Operating Protocol to help others organise Mental Health Film Screenings in order to foster discussion, engage the public, reduce stigma about mental health and build understanding.BackgroundCinema lends itself to exploring social and mental health issues such as stigma in an enjoyable way within a limited time and budget. Viewing a film with those from different backgrounds and having a chance to discuss perspectives on meaning and significance is an effective way to promote a collaborative stance and expand perspectives. We have been running a Mental Health Film Club in Cambridge for the past 3 years and have recently celebrated our 10th screening.MethodWe give details of our screenings and feedback. We also share our Standard Operating Protocol which covers important topics such as resources to find suitable films, obtaining copyright permission, finding suitable venues, supporting open discussions, use of social media and promoting inclusivity.ResultOur Mental Health Film club shows three films a year and over time has opened up to both professionals and members of the public who are interested in discussing mental health through movies and supporting recovery. We have screened many challenging and interesting films: from the impact of religious control on emergent adolescent sexuality (‘The Miseducation of Cameron Post’) to a classic film on Alcohol Dependency (‘Days of Wine and Roses’). We also support local festivals with a similar mental health theme (e.g. MEDFEST) and have recently run a very successful screening with the University of Cambridge Psychiatry Society which was introduced by a student offering subjective experience of growing up with a sibling with an Autism Spectrum Disorder (‘Life, Animated’). We promote screenings and publish all film discussions on our website (www.tinyurl.com/psychfilmclub) and Twitter in order to contribute to resources for educational use within Psychiatry training and to further involve the wider public. Feedback shows that our sessions are highly rated at helping audiences see mental health in a new way with post film discussion especially valued.ConclusionOur experience and practical advice can inspire others to start a Mental Health Film Club and promote cohesion, resilience and collaborative thinking within their locality. For future events we plan to expand into more public engagement via local Film Festivals. We welcome delegates ideas, experiences and film recommendations.

Abstract The 4Ms of an Age-Friendly Health System start with What Matters to the older adult. A unique method for asking that question is through film. Schaalman Senior Voices (SSV) films older adults talking about What Matters to them, and uses the films to stimulate discussion about later life with older adults in the community (n=264), with health care professions students learning to listen to older adults (n=1250), and health system executives considering implementation of the Age-Friendly Health Systems (AFHS) initiative (n=100). SSV has completed longer professional films interviewing 12 older adults. Using a mobile platform, SSV has filmed 50 older adults in the community and at health events. Outcomes of film discussions will be presented, including inspiration for older adults having conversations with family and physicians about What Matters, health care students effectively using skills in asking What Matters to enhance the care they provide, and executives considering AFHS implementation.

This thesis constitutes one of the first investigations focused on characterizing online participation in civic technologies, a type of platform increasingly popular on the Internet that allows citizens new forms, on a larger scale, of political participation. Given the opportunities of civic technologies in democratic governance, it should be noted that their design, like that of any online platform, is not neutral. The ways in which information is presented or interaction between users is allowed can greatly alter the results of participation. For this reason, we analyze the impact of different interventions in civic technologies in relation to online conversation views, ordering criteria for ranking petitions, and deliberative interfaces. Since these interventions were carried out by the corresponding development teams, the analyses have required to develop novel computational and statistical methods, while also extending generative models of discussion threads to better characterise the dynamics of online conversations. Results of the different case studies highlight the social and political impact of these interventions, suggesting new directions for future research and the need to develop a paradigm of citizen experimentation for democracy.Esta tesis constituye una de las primeras investigaciones en caracterizar la participación online en tecnologías cívicas, un tipo de plataforma cada vez más popular en Internet que permite a la ciudadanía nuevas formas, a una mayor escala, de participación política.

Dado que estas intervenciones fueron llevadas a cabo por los propios equipos de desarrollo, los análisis han requerido desarrollar nuevos métodos computacionales y estadísticos, a la vez que se han ampliado modelos generativos de hilos de discusión para caracterizar mejor la dinámica de las conversaciones online. Los resultados de los diferentes estudios de caso destacan el impacto social y político de estas intervenciones, sugiriendo nuevas líneas de investigación en el futuro y la necesidad de desarrollar un paradigma de experimentación ciudadana para la democracia.

Full textAbstract:
Constituer des fils de conversations cohérents à partir de conversations issues d’outils professionnels de communication et de collaboration est un processus de transformation d’une conversation écrite et asynchrone en sous-conversations. Chacune de ces sous-conversations traitant d’un sujet spécifique tout en gardant l’ordre d’arrivée des messages émis par les interlocuteurs dans la conversation originale. Ces sous-conversations donnent ainsi lieu à des structures de conversations linéaires ou arborescentes. Ce processus peut s’appliquer sur les discussions de forum mais aussi sur des conversations d’emails, ces deux exemples étant plus généralement des représentants de Contenus Médiés Par Ordinateur (CMO). Pour constituer ces sous-fils de conversations d’emails, il est nécessaire de s’appuyer sur les métadonnées de ceux-ci et leurs contenus. Néanmoins, ces éléments ne nous semblent pas suffisants en pratique. En effet, une conversation par email est en fait un dialogue avec une structure discursive potentiellement utile pour suivre l’évolution de la discussion. Il faut cependant noter que ce dialogue est asynchrone, ce qui introduit des spécificités. Dans les dialogues synchrones, il ressort très souvent des relations très fortes entre des énoncés consécutifs qui dans un long échange peuvent ainsi constituer des clusters de sous-conversations. Pour constituer des sous-fils de conversations à partir de conversations originales d’emails, nous nous appuyons sur ce type de relations entre les phrases d’emails successifs : ces relations sont dites transverses. Contrairement aux dialogues où ces relations peuvent facilement être identifiées, ceci est une tâche très complexe pour ce qui est des conversations d’emails et constitue la principale sous-problématique nommée appariement d’énoncés pour laquelle nous proposons des approches de résolution. Les conversations regorgent généralement beaucoup d’informations linguistiques et paralinguistiques, les actes de dialogue en font partie, ils aident très souvent à mieux cerner le contenu d’un échange et pourrait fortement contribuer à constituer des sous-fils de conversations via une meilleure identification des relations entre des énoncés. Ceci est l’hypothèse que nous posons dans le cadre de la résolution du problème d’appariement d’énoncés, s’appuyant sur une première phase de classification d’énoncés de dialogues. Dans le manuscrit, nous présentons les travaux connexes à notre problématique de base, ainsi que les sous-problématiques mentionnées ci-dessus. Autour de cet axe de travail principal, nous abordons divers aspects connexes mais importants, nécessaires ou utiles. Ainsi, nous abordons de façon approfondie ce que sont les CMO, l’analyse discursive et son historicité ainsi que les corpus disponibles pour approcher de tels problèmes. Ensuite nous proposons différentes approches de résolution de nos sous-problématiques avec des expériences bien détaillées et des évaluations de nos approches. Enfin, notre manuscrit se clôture sur des propositions telles que : l’application des approches proposées à d’autres types de CMO comme les forums et d’autres pistes à explorer pour résoudre la problématique de constitution de sous-fils de conversationConstituting coherent threads of conversation from professional communication and collaboration tools is a process of transforming a written, asynchronous conversation into sub-conversations, each dealing with a specific topic while maintining the order of arrival of the messages sent by interlocutors in the original conversation. These sub-conversations thus result in linear or tree-like conversation structures. This process can be applied to forum discussions but also to e-mail conversations, both examples being more generally representative of Computer Mediated Content (CMC). To build up these sub-threads of e-mail conversations, we need to rely on their metadata and content. In practice, however, these elements do not seem sufficient. An e-mail conversation is, in fact, a dialogue with a discursive structure that is potentially useful for tracking the evolution of the discussion. It should be noted, however, that this dialogue is asynchronous, which emphasizes specificities. In synchronous dialogues, very strong relationships often emerge between consecutive utterances, which in a long discussion can form clusters of sub-conversations. The constitution of conversation sub-threads from main conversations is based in this type of relationships between the sentences of successive emails in a conversation : this type of relationship is refered to as transverse. Unlike dialogues, where such relations can easily be identified, this is a very complex task in email conversations and constitutes the main sub-problem called statement matching for which we suggest several resolution methods. Conversations generally abound in linguistic and paralinguistic information, among which are dialogue acts. They very often help to better identify the content of a dialogue and could strongly contribute to constituting conversation sub-threads via a better identification of relations between utterances. This is the hypothesis we state in the context of solving the statement matching problem, based on an initial phase of classification of dialogue statements. This manuscript decribes the work related to our core problem, as well as the sub-problems mentioned above. Around this main focus, we address various related but important, necessary or useful aspects. Thus, we take an in-depth look at CMOs, discourse analysis and its historicity, as well as the available corpus to approach such problems. Then we offer different resolution methods for our sub-problems, with well-detailed experiments and evaluations of said methods. Finally, our manuscript concludes with the following propositions : the application of the proposed methods to other types of CMO, such as forums, and other possibilities to be explored to solve the problem of constituting conversational sub-threads

The United States film industry is controlled by the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) and its six signatories--the major productions studios (Sony, Warner Brothers, Universal, Walt Disney, 20th Century Fox, Time Warner), and through this joint-partnership they have monopolized prime production, distribution, exhibition and classification of the U.S film market.
The objective of this project is to shed light on biases present in the MPAA rating system's treatment of sex and violence under the X/NC-17 rating in order to demonstrate the lack of viability of the system in today's world.

PROGRAMA DE SUPORTE À PÓS-GRADUAÇÃO DE INSTS. DE ENSINO
A presente pesquisa aborda a audiodescrição (AD) e situa-se no campo da tradução audiovisual (TAV), mais especificamente na área de tradução intersemiótica. A AD é a transformação de imagem em texto verbal, isto é, de código visual em código auditivo, e é realizada em produtos culturais, tendo como propósito torná-los acessíveis às pessoas com deficiência visual, noção que inclui cegueira congênita, cegueira adquirida e baixa visão. Embora a AD possa ocorrer em diferentes produtos, aqui ela é trabalhada somente em filmes, a partir de duas dimensões — uma fundamentalmente teórica e outra, prática — que se relacionam e se interalimentam. Na primeira dimensão, desenvolve-se uma reflexão sobre interpretar e descrever, a partir da exigência de se limitar a um mínimo a interpretação. As normas em geral estabelecem a busca pela objetividade para impedir manipulações ou atitudes paternalistas, evitando-se, por conseguinte, escolhas subjetivas, normalmente relacionadas ao uso de qualificativos. Leigos e especialistas com frequência ainda concebem descrever e interpretar dicotomicamente, e priorizam a descrição, tida como objetiva, em detrimento da interpretação, considerada subjetiva, valorativa. Pretende-se desconstruir essa dicotomia por meio de uma lógica de gradação que assume a necessidade empírica dos termos descrição e interpretação, mas que critica sentidos absolutizantes, excludentes, que lhes são atribuídos. Na segunda dimensão, isto é, num campo mais propriamente empírico, analisam-se, em uma pesquisa de recepção, as audiodescrições de gestos — entendidos como mímicas e estados emocionais — das personagens, por serem elementos pouco ou nada estudados, muito propícios à reflexão sobre as recomendações de não interpretar ou de limitar a um mínimo a interpretação. A pesquisa visa testar se audiodescrições mais interpretativas podem ser necessárias, ou mesmo indispensáveis, para a fruição da obra cinematográfica, e também se, de acordo com o tipo de deficiência visual, há diferentes preferências por ADs menos ou mais descritivas ou interpretativas. A pesquisa contou com dois grupos, um composto por alunos do Instituto Benjamin Constant (IBC) e outro composto por integrantes da Associação dos Deficientes Visuais do Estado do Rio de Janeiro (ADVERJ). Em conjunto, os alunos do IBC assistiram ao filme O palhaço e os integrantes da ADVERJ, ao filme Menos que nada; em seguida, em entrevistas individuais, responderam um questionário com perguntas referentes à compreensão do filme e aspectos específicos relativos a gestos. Além disso, assistiram novamente a quatro trechos do filme, um para cada tipo de gesto (substitutivos, divergentes, emotivos simples e complexos); cada trecho contou com duas versões de AD, uma mais descritiva e outra mais interpretativa, havendo neste caso maior uso de adjetivos e de advérbios, para que escolhessem a versão de sua preferência. Desse modo, procurou-se testar as conclusões teóricas em um contexto empírico de informações estritamente visuais e refletiu-se sobre características da AD que podem ser mais adequadas aos nossos públicos, principalmente a AD de gestos. Em sua parte inicial, a tese faz uma historiografia da AD como atividade e como objeto de estudo, de sua inserção nas esferas da mídia e da academia na Europa, nos Estados Unidos e no Brasil.
This dissertation is about audio description (AD), a subject included in the field of audiovisual translation (AVT), more specifically in the area of intersemiotic translation. AD is the transformation of image into verbal text, i.e., of visual code into auditory code, and is performed on cultural products in order to make them accessible to visually impaired people, a spectrum that includes congenital blindness, acquired blindness and low vision. Even though AD can occur in different products, this study will be limited to motion pictures, in two different dimensions — one fundamentally theoretical and the other practical — that are interrelated and influence each other. In the first dimension, a discussion about interpreting and describing is triggered by the requirement of limiting interpretation to a minimum. Norms in general establish the search for objectivity in order to prevent manipulation or paternalistic attitudes, thus avoiding subjective choices, usually related to the use of qualifiers. Frequently, both lay people and specialists still conceive describing and interpreting as a dichotomy, and prioritize description, seen as objective, over interpretation, considered as subjective and valuational. The study aims at deconstructing this dichotomy by means of a many-valued logic that acknowledges the empirical need for the terms description and interpretation, but criticizes the absolutizing and excluding senses attributed to them. In the second, more empirical dimension, audio descriptions of characters gestures — understood as mimicry and emotional states — were subjected to reception analysis. Gestures were chosen because there has been little or no study at all about them and because they are quite convenient when it comes to reflecting upon the recommendations of not interpreting or of limiting interpretation to a minimum. The research aimed at determining whether more interpretive audio descriptions may be necessary, or even indispensable, to the enjoyment of motion pictures, and also whether, according to the type of visual impairment, there are different preferences for less or more descriptive or interpretive ADs. The study included two groups, one made up of students from the Benjamin Constant Institute (IBC) and another of members of the Associação dos Deficientes Visuais do Estado do Rio de Janeiro (Association of the Visually Impaired of Rio de Janeiro) (ADVERJ). The group of IBC students watched the film O palhaço (The clown), and the members of ADVERJ watched the film Menos que nada (Less than nothing); after that they were individually interviewed and answered a questionnaire with questions pertaining to the comprehension of the film itself and aspects specific to gestures. They also watched four passages of the movies again, one for each type of gesture (substitutive, divergent, simple and complex affect displays); each passage had two AD versions — one more descriptive and another more interpretive, with more adjectives and adverbs —, so that they could choose the version they preferred. The proposal, then, was to test theoretical conclusions in an empirical context of strictly visual information and to reflect upon AD characteristics that may be more adequate to Brazilian audiences in Rio de Janeiro, specially gesture AD. In its initial part, the dissertation presents a historiography of AD both as an activity and as an object of investigation. It also shows how AD came to be present in the different spheres of the media and the academy in Europe, the United States and Brazil.

Full textAbstract:
L'intento principale del presente lavoro di ricerca è di dare un contributo alla storia non ancora scritta di questa domanda: “Può Dio cambiare il passato?". Per poterlo fare si sono analizzate le opere e il pensiero di alcuni dei più importanti filosofi e teologi tardo medievali. Il XIV secolo è infatti il momento in cui questa domanda, che sembrava aver trovato una risposta definitiva nei due secoli precedenti, viene nuovamente riproposta e questa volta accompagnata da una risposta differente: se prima si riteneva fosse oramai opinione condivisa che Dio non potesse modificare il passato, in questo periodo storico tornano a far sentire la loro voce i sostenitori della tesi opposta. La loro influenza sarà tale che, solo grazie al farsi avanti dell'influenza tomista, l'opinione comune, sostenitrice dell'immodificabilità del passato da parte di Dio, tornerà ad imporsi alla fine del XV secolo. Per seguire lo sviluppo di questa vicenda nel corso di tutti questi anni ci si è rifatti ai contributi di quelli che ne sono stati i principali protagonisti: Thomas Bradwardine, Thomas Buckingham, Giovanni di Mirecourt, Grgeorio da Rimini, Pierre d'Ailly e Giovanni Capreolo. Il confronto con questi sei autori ha permesso di dare un quadro di insieme e un'idea generale di ciò che è stato il rifiorire di questa questione nel tardo medioevo e inoltre ha consentito di rilevare come, concettualmente, questa discussione sulla possibile modificabilità del passato da parte di Dio si sia evoluta in questo periodo trasformandosi da questione puramente concernente i limiti dell'onnipotenza divina a questione strettamente legata al problema dei futuri contingenti e al rapporto tra Dio e i diversi momenti temporali.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractThis article gives a comprehensive theoretical account of deception in multimodal film narrative in the light of the pragmatics of film discourse, the cognitive philosophy of film, multimodal analysis, studies of fictional narrative and – last but not least – the philosophy of lying and deception. Critically addressing the extant literature, a range or pertinent notions and issues are examined: multimodality, film narration and the status of the cinematic narrator, the pragmatics of film construction (notably, the characters’ communicative level and the one of the collective sender and the recipient), the fictional world and its truth, the recipient’s film engagement and make believing, as well as narrative unreliability. Previous accounts of deceptive films are revisited and three main types of film deception are proposed with regard to the two levels of communication on which it materialises, the characters’ level and the recipient’s level, as well as the intradiegetic and/or the extradiegetic narrator involved. This discussion is illustrated with multimodally transcribed examples of deception extracted from the American television seriesHouse.In the course of the analysis, attention is paid to how specific types of deception detailed in the philosophy of language (notably, lies, deceptive implicature, withholding information, covert ambiguity, and covert irrelevance) are deployed through multimodal means in the three types of film deception (extradiegetic deception, intradiegetic deception, and a combination of both when performed by both cinematic and intradiegetic narrators). Finally, inspired by the discussion of Hitchcock’s controversial lying flashback scene inStage Fright, as well as films relying on tacit intradiegetic, unreliable narrators (focalising characters) an attempt is made to answer the thorny question of when the extradiegetic (cinematic) narrator can perform lies (through mendacious multimodal assertions) addressed by the collective sender to the recipient, and not just only other forms of deception, as is commonly maintained.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractThis chapter examines the role of film and television in embedding sociotechnical imaginaries of civil defence during the early nuclear age (c. 1949–1965) by zooming in on Sweden and Denmark, two neighbouring countries that differed both in terms of their political position in the Cold War and in the scale of their civil defence efforts. Following a theoretical discussion of the psychosocial effects of films and their manner of circulation, we analyse Swedish and Danish films in two periods demarcated by the thermonuclear disruption of civil defence during the mid-1950s. The analysis highlights how films were used to frame technologies and script and perform social norms. We argue that films constitute an important source for understanding the difficulties of embedding sociotechnical imaginaries of civil defence.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractThis chapter will seek to demonstrate that the process of appropriation also irrevocably inscribes the aesthetic parameters of a cinematic-historical way of thinking into our historical consciousness. Building on theories of the phenomenological relationship between the spectator’s body and the world, the first section develops a model of incorporative appropriation of history, which it connects to constructivist and cognitive approaches. The second section raises the specific experience of historical films described in the previous section to the status of paradigmatic core of a historical film genre, which it fleshes out based on a phenomenological conception of genre. Its systematic account of this genre integrates the theoretical discussion of the distinctive characteristics of historical films from the preceding chapters.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractBy way of conclusion, this chapter examines the relationship between historical films and theories of historical culture. At the heart of its discussion is the thesis that appropriation of histospheres in spectators’ reception has a refigurative effect on our historical consciousness. On this view, the historical experiences generated by films augment the conceptions of history we have acquired from written accounts and sources with a physical-sensory dimension. Consequently, this chapter argues that two new forms of remembering make a substantial contribution to transforming our historical culture: The reminiscence triggers integrated in the audiovisual design of a historical film prompt spontaneous or “unbidden” memories that come to us contingently and are essentially receptive. The mise-en-histoire’s referentialization, by contrast, is a productive act of remembering.

Full textAbstract:
This first part of the book looks at the work of the filmmakers Jean-Pierre and Luc Dardenne, the Dardenne brothers. It builds on the existing Levinasian ethical readings of their work – such as those by Sarah Cooper (2007), Joseph Mai (2010) and Philip Mosley (2013) – to show how a performativity-led approach to their work shines a new light on their films and their relationship to Levinas. It looks at Luc Dardenne’s own comments on the inspiration the Dardennes take from Levinas’s ethics and how this inspiration informs their film style. And it argues that it is fruitful to discuss their work in terms of performativity, as this will bring out how their uses of style enable their films to perform a Levinasian responsibility for the Other and a refusal to settle for easy solutions that would close down ethical engagement. Rather, their films invite the viewer to engage ethically with the characters through the directness and subjectivity of the film style. This introductory section sets up the discussions to follow on four Dardenne films: Je Pense à Vous (1992), La Promesse (1996), Le Fils (2002) and The Kid with a Bike (2011).

Full textAbstract:
The orientational stability of nonlinear optical chromophores in polymer systems has been the subject of extensive research.1-8 A new experimental method of observing chromophore dynamics has been developed. The method is similar to dielectric relaxation measurements where the linear polarization of the material is induced by a sinusoidal electric field. However, this new method probes the orientation of just the chromophores through second harmonic generation (SHG). This method is unique because it yields information about chromophore dynamics in the frequency domain, whereas the bulk of the work is done in the time domain. The method is dynamic and the chromophores are in steady-state motion in response to a time varying electric field, as opposed to studies such as Boyd et al.4 where measurements are made with a static electric field. A description of the experimental method and a discussion of the results follows.

Full textAbstract:
Increasing the efficiency of modern jet engines do not only imply to the mainstream but also to the secondary air and oil system. Within the oil system the bearing chamber is one of the most challenging component. Oil films on the chamber walls are generated from oil droplets, ligaments, or film fragments, which emerge from bearings, seal plates and shafts, and enter the bearing chamber with an angular momentum. Furthermore, shear forces at its surface, gravity forces, and the design of scavenge and vent ports strongly impact the behavior of the liquid film. The present paper focuses on the experimental determination of the film thickness is various geometries of bearing chambers for a wide range of engine relevant conditions. Therefore, each configuration was equipped with five capacitive probes positioned at different circumferential locations. Two analytical approaches are used for a comprehensive discussion of the complex film flow.

Full textAbstract:
It has been well recognized that introducing corrugative configuration into nonlinear optical (NLO) susceptibility χ(2) results in an extreme enhancement of SHG power with quasi-phase-matching (QPM) scheme. The authors et al have also demonstrated significant SHG enhancement with the NLO corrugation even in the Cerenkov-radiative schemes1-3. In these recent works the NLO corrugations have been electrically introduced with either contact-electrode or corona discharges. However, organic polymers have, in general, tendency to change their optical properties, i.e. refractive index and NLO susceptibility, with ultra-violet (UV) sbsorption. Fortunately, it has been found from spectroscopy that vinylidene cyanide/vinyl acetate (VDCN/VAc) copolymer has a strong absorption band around 200 nm wavelength. In addition, it has also been preliminarily expected that the UV irradiation tends to reduce or dissipate its NLO susceptibility and the refractive index due to dissociation of the side chain in VDCN/VAc co-polymer. In the present paper we shall thus attempt to enhance the Cerenkovian SHG power with a periodic or chirped NLO χ(2) corrugation by irradiating ArF 193 nm laser source, together with discussion of the optimum UV irradiation.

Abstract A recently developed technique known as Electron Beam Induced Resistance Change (EBIRCH) equipped with a scanning electron microscope (SEM) utilizes a constant electron beam (e-beam) voltage across or current through the defect of interest and amplifies its resistance variation. In this study, EBIRCH is applied for a 3D NAND structure device fault isolation but suffered from nearby dielectric film deformation. The characterization of such dielectric deformation and the possible mechanisms of e-beam induced damage are discussed. As well, a threshold condition to avoid from triggering the occurrence of dielectric damage is presented for shallow defect analysis in EBIRCH application.

Can insurance company investments help fill the infrastructure gap? Center for Insurance Policy and Research, September 2021. http://dx.doi.org/10.52227/24791.2021.
Full textAbstract:
The report emphasizes that evaluating the suitability of infrastructure investments for insurance companies cannot compromise the core mission of insurance regulators to preserve the solvency of regulated insurance companies and to protect policyholders. Significant Findings in the Report Include: The report offers a uniform definition of infrastructure that could be used as a basis for discussions around financial investments in infrastructure within the insurance industry: generally, economic infrastructure is long-lived, capital-intensive, large physical assets that provide essential services or facilities to some jurisdiction. Using NAIC data, as well as other supplemental sources, findings estimate total U.S. insurance industry exposure to economic infrastructure to be roughly $570.5 billion by NAIC's definition. Infrastructure investments have many qualities that should be appealing to insurers, potentially well-positioning them to make additional infrastructure investments under the right circumstances. For example, historical performance data from S&P Global Ratings and Moody's Investors Services show that: municipal bonds backing infrastructure outperform infrastructure bonds issued outside of the public sector. corporate infrastructure debt outperforms all non-financial corporate debt (which includes infrastructure). Superior performance is evident across the performance metrics we assessed, including default rates, recovery rates given default, and rating migration.

Full textAbstract:
The Eco-Digital Fabrication (EDFAB) research project aimed to investigate how automated prefabrication technologies and off-the-shelf construction products can be employed to disrupt building industry norms. The aim of this research – conducted at the University of Auckland and Unitec Institute of Technology from 2014 onward – was to provide small-to-medium enterprises in the construction industry with a pathway to upskill and increase construction productivity through the use of these processes. The availability of automated machines and easy-to-use fabrication software is increasing dramatically and this can be paired with readily available construction products to produce novel mass-customised housing solutions. The application of basic automated technologies – such as CNC (Computer Numerical Control) routers – allowed researchers to create ‘recipes’ that can be adopted and adapted relatively easily. By no means did the research favour digital manufacture or assembly processes over traditional analogue construction techniques – the goal was to provide logical, productive and accessible blended solutions for greater affordability and flexibility in design. For example, the designed experiments were required to be built from readily available products, and used simple readymade screw fixings rather than digitally produced custom fixings or joining mechanisms. The research project aimed to generate discussion and provide recommendations on how the construction industry might support the adoption of automated prefabrication technology in small-to-medium enterprise (SME).

Full textAbstract:
This paper analyzes MIF efforts to improve inadequate training institutions and emphasize the basic importance of updating management and worker skills in SMEs in Latin America. The paper is organized as follows: Section I analyzes the problems behind the failures of both market-based and bureaucratic approaches to provide services such as training for SMEs. A cursory look at existing evidence from the developing world and Latin America in particular shows that SMEs not only lack adequate training institutions, but also an understanding of the basic importance in updating management and worker skills. Due to massive market failures and a lack of institutional experience, innovative supply-side initiatives are critical to help SMEs break out of low-equilibrium traps. Section II then shifts attention to the six SME training projects. After a discussion of the general aims of the Program and the individual projects, the paper assesses the projects in terms of their abilities to fill their different niches. In conclusion, Section III summarizes the lessons learned thus far from these projects.

Full textAbstract:
The past decade has been marked by a growing awareness of the potential harms of personal computing. This recent development was spurred by a surge of news reports, films, and studies on the unforeseen side effects of constantly using networked devices. As a result, the public has become increasingly aware of the cognitive, ideological, and psychological effects associated with the constant use of personal computing devices. Alongside these revelations, a growing chorus of activists, journalists, organizers, and scholars have turned attention to surveillance technology-related matters of a different kind—those related to the carceral state and border patrol. These efforts have sparked a shift in the public consciousness, from individual experiences of technology users to how technology is used to maintain social divisions. These studies show how the explosion of network devices not only changes society but also maintains longstanding divisions between social groups. This field review highlights key concepts and discussions on information technology, surveillance, carceral governance, and border patrol. Specifically, it explores the evolution of information communication technology and racial surveillance from the late nineteenth century until the present. The review concludes by exploring avenues for bringing these conversations into a transnational dialogue on surveillance, technology, and social inequality moving forward.

Full textAbstract:
Paid care work will represent an important source of employment in coming decades, as care dependence becomes more prevalent, care needs evolve, and the structure of households changes. But there is little systematic data on the care economy for paid caregivers in Latin America and the Caribbean. This report aims to fill this knowledge gap by quantifying the paid care workforce in the region and describing its sociodemographic and economic profile in 17 countries. Using the most recent pre-pandemic microdata from labor and household surveys, the report examines the care economy for care workers who serve children and adults. The study concludes that there are approximately 8.9 million paid caregivers in the region, including 5.8 million paid workers who take care of children and 3.1 million who look after older people and people with disabilities. Most professionals in the sector are women in their early forties with a secondary-level education and with limited access to social protection benefits. This paper contributes to the ongoing discussion on paid and unpaid care work by emphasizing the importance of supporting a thriving workforce in the region while redistributing the burden of care in all dimensions of human life.
