Shalimova, N. "The plot of initiation in the novel “The Song of Achilles” by M. Miller." Philology and Culture, no. 2 (September 17, 2023): 173–80. http://dx.doi.org/10.26907/2782-4756-2023-72-2-173-180.
Full textAbstract:
The article studies the poetics of M. Miller’s novel in the context of the initiation plot representation. The search for the hero is considered as one of the main problems of modern American literature. We use the cultural-historical and comparative methods and the method of narrative analysis in our research. The relevance of the study is the synthesis of approaches to the analysis of the novel “The Song of Achilles” by M. Miller. The study hypothesizes that, the technique of remythologization enables the writer to represent the universality of the human development stages and the crisis trials that adolescents face. The novel is considered both in the context of rethinking of the mythological narrative and in the aspect of representing the archaic model of initiation. The mythological plot basis, which implies plot determinism, makes it possible to emphasize the axiological, emotive discourse and protagonists’ inner changes. The parallel initiation of Patroclus and Achilles explicates the dichotomy of the godlike and the human elements in the inner nature of the characters. Patroclus, being close to the hero, shares his fate. He literally and metaphorically becomes Achilles in the finale of the novel, entering the battle in his armor and under his name. Achilles, on the contrary, shows human features due to the fact that he matures next to Patroclus. The article concludes that the theme of formation and internal evolution of the person in the context of the initiation rite and mythological narratives plays a plot-forming role in modern American literature.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractWith the debate about same-sex marriage raging in the United States, this paper asks whether the canonical scriptures of Judaism and Christianity offer any justification for blessing same-sex unions. It looks to the ways that the Bible is used by proponents and opponents of same-sex marriage. It analyzes the hermeneutics of the religious left and the religious right, particularly as they grapple with the "clobber texts" of Lev. 18:22 and 20:13. It then turns to the biblical book of Ruth, which critic J. Hillis Miller describes as having "been alienated from itself, translated from itself" through new uses. The paper puts the book of Ruth to yet another new use/misprision, using it as a prooftext to support same-sex marriage. The book has already been upheld by lesbian readers of scripture because of the intimate relationship between the protagonists, Ruth and Naomi, but this paper "misreads" the text differently. Ruth describes how a marriage made between an Israelite and a Moabite brings about the line of King David, one of the most important figures in the Bible and the man from whose line the Messiah is expected to come. The biblical law, however, is unequivocal: Moabites are not permitted to enter into the community of Israel. Juxtaposing the levitical laws (ostensibly) prohibiting homosexuality with those banning Moabites from Israel, this paper argues that the religious left could hold up the book of Ruth as a biblical model for allowing marriage that seems explicitly forbidden by biblical law.

Full textAbstract:
This paper considers the manifestations of nostalgia in the narrative and plot scenes of the protagonists of Russian young emigrants’ fiction of the 1930s – early 1940s. The focus is on the works of B. Poplavsky, G. Gazdanov, and J. Felzen. A reduction of nationally oriented nostalgic myths and feelings can be seen in the prose of young emigrants. However, a strengthened existential nostalgia is evident: a longing for the fullness of existence and wholeness of being or awareness of the impossibility of finding a new Home in the reality where one is abandoned and unrooted. The national nostalgia reduction determines the national identity reduction. The internal crisis of the heroes under study proves to be an identity crisis, intensified by an existential crisis. Their situation in an alien world is an existential dead end amid total disorientation. The heroes’ attempts to overcome existential nostalgia are different but equally fruitless: the entry into the “paradise of friends” and the Russian women’s love (“Apollo Bezobrazov” and “Home from Heaven” of Poplavsky), the myth of the House and the understanding of one’s past (“A Tale of One Travel” and “Night Roads” of Gazdanov), an appeal to the poet’s work, bringing the feeling of fullness of being in Russia (“Letters about Lermontov” of Felzen). To conclude, when interpreting nostalgia (its reduction), we find the prose of young emigrants to be closer not to the “older” generation of Russian emigration but to the Western emigrant prose (“Tropic of Cancer” by Miller and “Triumphal Arch” by Remarque).

Full textAbstract:
Margaret Atwood’s famous work, The Handmaid’s Tale, offers innovative and intriguing perspectives on gender and gender roles, as they are dramatized and problematized in the context of a dystopian society that in many ways is a projection of our own. Particularly interesting in the novel are the roles on men, represented by the principal male characters: the Commander, Nick, and Luke. As Atwood employs these personae to describe at least three different manifestations of masculinity —all with their own conflicts and possibilities—, the first season of the television version of the novel, created by Bruce Miller and resealed in 2017, explores, expands, and exploits various visions of manhood that help understand not only the protagonist’s but also the reader’s/viewer’s world. This paper is an attempt to establish a dialogue of sorts between Atwood’s and Miller’s viewpoints on masculinity through their portrayals of these three characters and their interactions with their protagonist and their context.

Full textAbstract:
Arthur Miller’s “Death of a Salesman” (1949) presents the working-class masculinity under threat. This paper has sought to argue that the threat is posed not only by the protagonist’s inability to assert his working-class masculine identity due to his (fear of) unemployment, but also by the instrumental use of reason by the employer and hegemonic masculinity. It has tried to unfold this threat in terms of R. Connell’s idea of ‘hegemonic masculinity’ and CALM report on crisis of modern masculinity published in 2014. The assumption is that Miller has depicted this threat by presenting the male protagonist in such an unfavorable situation that it relegates him to the vulnerable position of not being able to assert his masculine identity. It is also assumed that this threat is further validated by the presence of dominant masculinity. This research has sought to dramatize the playwright's consciousness of the masculinities in conflict and its outcome in America. This research is critically significant because reading this drama from the perspective of the crisis of subordinate or working-class masculinity is a far cry.

Full textAbstract:
This research paper investigates the theme of imprisonment in Arthur Miller’s Death of a Salesman. This play demonstrates persons who are crushed and stifled by society which filled its citizens' mindswith certain myths, values, and systems that may contrast with honour and ethics. As a result, they appear to be formed of a number of contradicting selves, and sometimes torn between two worlds: the internal world of fantasies of a lost past and the external reality of an unwelcoming present world.The clash, between these two worlds, grows unstable and volatile till pushing its victim to submersion or even death.
As Death of a Salesman begins, the audience would notice the existence of two time lines or plots. The first is that of the present time during the year1948 which moves on through a series of scenes that ends with Willy Loman’s suicide. The second is the 1931 action which moves on through a series of scenes that ends with Biff’s discovery of his father with a woman at a hotel in Boston. This play is concerned with the tension between the external reality and the protagonist’s private inner world. The original title chosen by Arthur Miller for this play is The Inside of His Head. Under his friends request, he changed it to the present title with a subtitle, “Certain Private Conversations in Two Acts and a Requiem”. Taking into consideration the play’s three titles, one would guess how far Miller relies onmemories and present events to reveal not only what his protagonist, Willy Loman, suffers from but the American society as well.

Abstract This note proposes, through an investigation of the drama’s flashback structure, that Death of a Salesman illustrates a divided impulse in Arthur Miller—a division immediately noticeable in his choice of first names for his characters—between making his play and his protagonist Jewish, and making them universal or representatively American.

Full textAbstract:
Since the late 2010s, when the Black Protests were sparked in Korea (September 2016) and the Constitutional Court of Korea ruled that criminalizing abortion is unconstitutional (April 2019), contemporarily and internationally produced films, series and documentaries focusing on abortion have been actively introduced to the Korean public alongside with the popularisation of global OTT services. Most of them explicitly or implicitly support women's choice and the right to abort, but they often perpetuate the suffering, shame, and victimization of women who undergo abortions. For exemple, they make maternal grief inseparable from the pregnant body, embody the excruciating physical suffering of the protagonist’s abortion to the point of making the audience shudder, or keep the protagonist (slut-)shamed, without cause, throughout the story of abortion experience. Erica Millar puts ‘emotion’ at the center of abortion politics, criticizing the politics of ‘choice’, whether anti-abortion or pro-choice, for naturalizing, depoliticizing, and normalizing desperation, grief, and shame as the experience of abortion. This article extends her ideas into the dimension of ‘affect’ and, building on Brian Massumi's discussion of politics of affect, explores affect via film, how anti-abortion power operates and the cinematic practices that resist it.

Full textAbstract:
A figura quase mítica de Homero legou-nos um dos expoentes para o estudo do gênero épico: Ilíada, que versa sobre a queda da poderosa cidade de Tróia e a ação de um de seus protagonistas, o semideus Aquiles. Madeline Miller, escritora norte-americana, toma a saga do herói e produz a releitura A canção de Aquiles (2021), romance que narra os eventos da Guerra de Tróia (além dos anos formativos da vida de Aquiles) a partir da visão de Pátroclo, a quem o texto clássico refere-se como grande amigo do semideus e Miller retrata como seu amante. Reconfigurando um dos textos fundantes da cultura ocidental a partir de uma sensibilidade homoafetiva estruturante, Miller contempla Bakhtin (1997) quando este fala sobre a estabilidade relativa do gênero, Wood (2011) ao tratar sobre as formas subversivas de uso das mecânicas dos gêneros textuais clássicos, e as considerações de Regina Dalcastagnè (2012) acerca da contestação do território literário e seus discursos heteronormativos, o que então era apenas subtexto nos versos de Homero. Desse modo, Miller questiona os valores hegemônicos que permeiam o épico, imbuindo um de seus derivados, o romance, com uma possibilidade de representação LGBTQIA+ passível de leitura à luz da Teoria Queer.

Full textAbstract:
Cette thèse porte sur la mise en place du travail en équipe dans les écoles du premier degré. C’est une recherche descriptive qui s’appuie sur l’observation et la description du fonctionnement des équipes pédagogiques à travers les points de vue des acteurs de l’Éducation nationale, principalement à l’île saint Martin et en Guadeloupe. L’enjeu est d’étudier les impacts qu’apporteront différents éléments choisis sur la mise en œuvre du travail en équipe dans les écoles, comme il est préconisé par les textes officiels ministériels.Cette étude est basée sur le modèle d’Engeström. Elle s’appuie sur une dé- marche qualitative et privilégie l’usage de l’entretien semi- directif. Le corpus se compose de 80 entretiens, complétées par quatre enquêtes.Dans une première partie, la thèse se concentre sur le fonctionnement et l’organisation des directeurs d’école, chef d’orchestre dans une l’équipe pédagogique. Puis, ce sont les systèmes de formation initiale et continue des personnels de l’Éducation (directeurs, enseignants et inspecteurs) en France et dans le monde qi sont observés de près. Enfin, des observations du fonctionnement en équipes dans des zones, souvent difficiles, permettront de voir si l’implantation géographique des écoles favorise le fonctionnement en équipe des personnels qui y officientThis thesis focuses on the teamwork in first-degree’s schools. This is a descriptive research based on observation and description of teams organisation through the views of actors of national education, in St. Martin Island first and then in Guadeloupe. The challenge is to study the impacts that will bring various elements chosen on the implementation of the teamwork in schools, as it is recommended by the minsterial official texts.This study is based on the model of Engeström. It’s a qualitative approach and which favours the use of semi-directive interview. The corpus consists of 80 inter- views, supplemented by four surveys.In a first part, the thesis concentrates on the functioning and the organization of the headmasters in schools, as manager of the teaching team. The second part is based on the accurate analysis of the initial and continuous training system of personal of education (headmasters, teachers and inspectors) in France and in the world. The observations of the teamwork in difficult areas will show if the geographical location of schools promotes the organisation of the staff that officiates in those places

Cinematic representations such asDirty Dancing: Havana Nightsoften produce scenarios in which Anglo leading ladies displace Latina featured extras or supporting actresses on the dance floor as the leading lady learns to connect with her sexuality by becoming “Latina” on the dance floor. This chapter examines how the blond (United States of) American teen, protagonist Katey Miller, makes a transition to life in Havana, and how she pursues her emergent fascination with dance practices of Cuba. Exploring issues of gender and interculturalism, the chapter argues that Katey displaces her nameless Cubana foils as she moves up the salsa social hierarchy to become Queen of Night at La Rosa Negra,Dirty Dancing’sHavana hot spot.

The roots of and context for the genesis of the Oxford Movement can be traced to the intellectual and spiritual formation of its leaders, protagonists, and disciples provided within the milieu of the University of Oxford and notably Oriel College. The influence of the Oriel Noetics was crucial but that of John Keble and Hurrell Froude on the impressionable John Henry Newman and others was no less significant. A parting of the ways between those who would become Tractarians and the Noetics, first evident in the Peel election of 1829, was reflected in Oriel’s tutor dispute of 1830, giving a foretaste of the deepening divisions of the 1830s discussed in a later chapter.

Nel piano programmatico finalizzato a una nuova lettura del Codice Veronese, questo volume mira soprattutto a fare luce sull’iter diacronico di formazione del testo delle Institutiones di Gaio. Tale esame è volto a conoscere, al livello editoriale, quale impiego fu fatto, dai primi trascrittori, dei vari testimoni utili alla constitutio textus dell’opera gaiana e di comprendere meglio le ragioni di certe letture del Manoscritto Veronese. L’autore indaga sulla fase per così dire genetica del testo gaiano che ricopre un lasso di tempo di oltre sessant’anni, a partire dalla riscoperta del palinsesto, avvenuta, in un milieu culturale caratterizzato dalla più accesa e competitiva Palimpsestforschung, nel settembre del 1816. Questo periodo è contraddistinto da vari momenti di grande rilievo che sono fra loro concatenati: la prima trascrizione veronese del Codex del 1817, la frenetica opera di rielaborazione berlinese degli anni successivi, la prima edizione critica delle Istituzioni di Gaio del 1820 con le sue successive revisioni e, infine, la fase degli Apografi (1866-1874) che ha il suo compimento con la pubblicazione dei Supplementa di Studemund del 1884. È in tale periodo che si formò il nucleo fondamentale del testo delle Istituzioni di Gaio, caratterizzato dalle scelte ermeneutiche dei protagonisti di quel momento storico, su cui in seguito vennero poste le basi di tutte le successive costruzioni dogmatiche apparse in letteratura

This book recounts the amazing life story of a 16-year-old American Revolutionary-era soldier, including his captivity, adoption, and eventual flight to freedom from the Iroquois Six-Nation Indian tribes. The story is retold with historical accuracy and an even-handed treatment of the conflicting interests of the loyalists, Iroquois, and Patriots. David Ogden was born into an unusually tumultuous time in America—the colonials were struggling to throw off the yoke of British rule while also battling the Iroquois tribes for control of their ancestral lands. The bibliography of anyone who survived a life in the late 1700s frontier days of New York would be a great tale, but David Ogden’s story stands alone, even within historical context of his times. Captive! The Story of David Ogden and the Iroquois is a compelling true adventure story of one young colonial soldier’s bravery, choosing a daunting 126-mile race to freedom fraught with the risk of death over being assimilated into an alien society. This story is told with all the factual historical information that was missing from all the original captivity narratives, but accurately retains the flavor of the period and the voice of the 18th-century protagonist.

Abstract Personal stories, urban legends, literature, media representations, and other kinds of narratives provide means of sharing information about menstruation, including what women and other menstruators should and should not do during their periods. For instance, no book has had more impact upon pubescent North American girls than Judy Blume’s 1970 Are You There God? It’s Me, Margaret. Girls growing up in the 1970s and onward, in a cultural milieu where they were encouraged to silence their questions and hush their bodies, had a protagonist with whom to identify and empathize.

Full textAbstract:
Chapter 3, continuing Chapter 2’s intellectual history of the impression, begins by exploring British aestheticism and its roots in Kant and romanticism (Walter Pater, Oscar Wilde, Immanuel Kant, Samuel Taylor Coleridge, William Wordsworth). It then turns to twentieth-century theories of performativity, which, it argues, combine elements of the empiricist and the aesthetic (J. L. Austin, Jacques Derrida, Paul de Man, Judith Butler, J. Hillis Miller). James followed Pater in resurrecting the ‘impression’. Pater found in Hume’s impression a role for the imagination at the heart of consciousness. But the interpretive excesses of James’s protagonists’ cognitive impressions must also be understood alongside the more flamboyant aestheticism of Pater’s disciple Wilde, and his ‘critic as artist’. The most active of James’s impressions, however, are performative: they are impressions made, not received. Performativity helps frame an account of the impression that encompasses both the receiving and making of impressions, and the confusion between the two.

The third chapter takes up this tradition of the developmental novel (the bildung), and seeks to understand it in its canonical form in India. In this context, it looks at two of the most influential such novels in India, both published in the 1940s—Agyeya’s Shekhar and Ismat Chughtai’s The Crooked Line. The former, though essentially a story from childhood to the twenties of the protagonist also plays with the form of the novel—there is experimentation with non-linear storytelling, with fragmentation and ellipsis. Such techniques convey the darkness of the protagonist—the novel begins with the intimation that he is to be hanged (hanging also evokes the first chapter). Chughtai’s work is also a bildung, though in a playful mode that nevertheless invokes the difficulties of establishing a working-woman protagonist from a conservative milieu.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter explores the ways in which Sterne in Tristram Shandy may have anticipatedaspects of the concepts of 4E cognition. It sets Sterne into his historical-philosophic milieu, especially in the dualist traditions of Locke and Hume, and seeks to understand how Sterne’s narrative and its protagonist are living systems embodying cognitive worlds. Autopoiesis, the term used to describe systems capable of maintaining and reproducing themselves, is shown to be applicable to Sterne’s creation of a protagonist who cannot figure out who he is or how he got to be where he is. The chapter particularly emphasizes the runaway digressive loops driving Tristram’s cognitive mindset and demonstrates how the continual perturbations he experiences whenever he tries to get outside his own head disturb his self-organization. It shows that when Tristram aims to traverse the autopoietic borders he has set for himself, as he often does, he becomes progressively disturbed.

Full textAbstract:
The first body chapter sets the stage for subsequent chapters by showcasing the different literary afterlives of Henry Miller's Tropic of Cancer and Richard Wright's Native Son, texts that emblematize the divergent reception scripts that haunt later debates. Miller's novel was banned in the U.S. over explicit descriptions of the protagonist's sexual adventures, and the book catalyzed a legal process that cemented its status as a major literary event while securing Miller's reputation as an outsider genius. In contrast, in order to make Native Son its first work by an African American, the Book-of-the-Month Club required that several passages be removed from the manuscript to assuage concerns over cross-racial desire. The resulting expurgation not only diluted the novel's challenge to racialized sexual norms, but also diminished the psychological complexity of the main character Bigger Thomas while amplifying his pathological reputation, making the novel less innovative and its legacy more conflicted.

Full textAbstract:
In Shoes (1916), Lois Weber re-examines the relationship between shoes and social mobility. Far from guiding the working-class protagonist’s progress, a pair of worn boots trap her into a moral compromise, which destroys her hope of future advancement, either romantically or socially. Weber’s investigation into wage inequality, the rights of women and the influence of consumer culture via footwear continues in The Blot (1921), which revisits the same plot in a lower middle-class milieu and expands on the theme. Here, shoes are again a danger to women, but also an indicator of genteel distress and a cheap, impractical commodity, good only for profiteering rather than practicality.

Explores recent animated films that embrace the idea that belonging to a community does not require conformity to social expectations, but rather builds on the protagonist’s individuality and seeming queerness. In box office hits like Ratatouille (Bird, 2007), Kung Fu Panda (Osborn and Stevenson, 2008), and Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs (Lord and Miller, 2009), and in the lesser known Bee Movie (Hickner and Smith. 2007), The Tale of Desperaux (Fell and Stevenhagen, 2008), character development connects closely with food, which becomes the instrument of the heroes’ redemption even when it would initially appear to be the very cause of their social isolation. This raises the question: What models of acceptable adulthood – in terms of gender, class, ethnicity, and body image - does the interaction with food present to viewers, in particular children, who are arguably among the main marketing targets of these productions? Although cooking is still often culturally framed as an element of the domestic and feminine sphere, in these films food is not domestic or related to care work, and as such appears as more culturally acceptable for males.

Full textAbstract:
The Civil War era posed profound challenges to the six presidents. There is widespread agreement that Abraham Lincoln met that test in a superlative manner while Franklin Pierce and James Buchanan responded to it abysmally. It is also widely held that Millard Fillmore's performance was pedestrian and James K. Polk's was unusually effective. This chapter reviews the way each of these protagonists rose, or failed to rise, to the challenges of his times. It then explores the ways in which the leadership criteria employed in this book figured in the period under consideration. It concludes by discussing a pair of theoretical issues implicit in Allan Nevins' assertion in the epigraph to this chapter that if the nation had “possessed three farseeing, imaginative, and resolute” chief executives “instead of Fillmore, Pierce, and Buchanan, the [Civil] War might have been postponed.”

Abstract: The search has as purpose to notice the importance of Christian Zervos (Argostoli 1889 – Paris 1970), a greek art historian and founder of the magazine and publishing house Cahiers d’art, that lived in Paris from 1907 to the end of his life) with Le Corbusier, inserted in the contest of Cahiers d’art. The exceptional versatility of Zervos’s mind had allowed him to realize, through Cahiers d’art, a intellectual environment that exceeded the ordinary publishing house of that period, beacuse it was enchanted and nourished by all sector of knowledge. Zeros, inside the Cahiers d’art, made Le Corbusier protagonist of the section of Architecture, that submits to Sigfried Giedion. In fact since the first number of Cahiers d’art the work of Le Corbusier was broadly taken in examination. The articles related to the work of the Architect have gone since 1926 to 1954; the themes that touch these texts can be separate in four major topics: design, private house, great public buildings, painting. La recherche a le but de relever l’importance de Christian Zervos (Argostoli 1889-Parigi 1970), historien de l’art et fondateur des Éditions Cahiers d’art, qui vécut à Paris depuis 1907 à sa mort, et Le Corbusier, insérée dans le contexte de Cahiers d’art. L’exceptionnel éclectisme de Zervos a permis de réaliser dans Cahiers d’art un excellent milieu intellectuell qu’il va au-delà des Éditions, car uni et nourri par chaque domaine de la connaissance. Dans les Cahiers d’art, Zervos rend Le Corbusier le protagoniste de la section d’architecture, soignée par Siegfried Giedion. Keywords: Cahiers d’art; Christian Zervos; projects.

Este artigo tem como objetivo geral apresentar uma proposta embasada nos Estudos Retóricos de Gênero (ERG), com o gênero emergente AU, transmutado a partir das Fanfics – produções textuais ficcionais em ambiente digital - tendo o Twitter como suporte, para desenvolver a análise do gênero, a produção textual e a análise multimodal, na perspectiva do gênero como ação social. Nosso objetivo específico é analisar uma proposta de atividade, no exemplar do primeiro ano do Ensino Médio, Coleção Ser Protagonista da Editora SM (BARRETO, 2016), para compreender como o gênero comentário no Twitter é trabalhado. Para tanto, nosso aporte teórico consiste nos ERG (BAZERMAN, 2006; MILLER, 2012); em uma adaptação metodológica da heurística de análise de gêneros (DEVITT; REIFF; BAWARSHI, 2004 apud BAWARSHI; REIFF, 2013); como também, em uma abordagem multimodal (DIONISIO; VASCONCELOS, 2013). Trata-se de uma pesquisa qualitativa, do tipo bibliográfica e exploratória, cujo corpus consiste nos gêneros notícia e comentário no Twitter, presentes no livro didático supramencionado, e nos prints do gênero AU, no Twitter, sobre a Cultura K-pop. A partir da efetivação da proposta, almeja-se a compreensão, pelos estudantes, de que o gênero, como ação social, interliga-se a contextos específicos e a práticas de linguagem online.

Full textAbstract:
Farhadi’s The Salesman, which won the Best Screenplay award at the 2016 Cannes Film Festival and the Best Foreign Language Film in the 89th Academy Awards, got universal acclaim and behooved for academic debates. The intertextual references in The Salesman optimized with the film’s explicit references to Arthur Miller’s drama play, The Death of a Salesman. However, the director, Asghar Farhadi, includes more subtle intertextual references to attract the audience to some masterpieces of art. This study introduces referenced sources to emphasize parallels between Farhadi’s film and other literary and artistic works to determine the central themes of the movie in order to evaluate the protagonist and antagonist’s actions thoroughly and accurately. Out of The Death of a Salesman, the film establishes intertextual relations with plays such as Hamlet by Shakespeare and Out at Sea by Slawomir Mrozek, “The Cow” —a short story—by Gholam-Hossein Saedi, Gilemard—a novel—by Bozorg Alavi, and movies such as Shame by Ingmar Bergman and The Godfather by Francis Ford Coppola. These intertextual relations are the film’s central conflict that should be evaluated in the realm of the challenge between tradition and modernity. In addition, of course, various manifestations of such resistance are reflected in the facedown between the past and the future.

Es imposible disociar el concepto de globalización con el de inmigración. Este ultimo, se ha posicionado como una de las consecuencias directas del mundo global, ya que la liberación de los mercados y la reducción de leyes de protección a su producción local por parte de los países en desarrollo, ha significado un aumento en los niveles de pobreza y marginación en países periféricos, dando como resultado una mayor inestabilidad en términos económicos y políticos, que ha terminado, en muchos casos, en disputas internas que desarticulan la sociedad, obligando a un gran numero de personas a abandonar su país para poder acceder a mejores condiciones de vida. Este proyecto investiga y aborda la problemática inmigratoria que ha vivido España desde inicios del siglo XXI en adelante, a partir de los relatos de los propios protagonistas de este éxodo que se encuentran asentados en la ciudad de Barcelona . A modo de instalación sonora, busca generar una representación de dicho fenómeno que han experimentado miles de personas en el mundo, a partir de la abstracción de un espacio de circulación masiva, como lo son los aeropuertos. “Historias en transito” busca explorar por medio de las historias orales, la cara más humana de esta situación, abordando la carga de memoria de cada uno de los entrevistados y conocer en mayor profundidad sus vidas, ya que la gran mayoría de la información que consta en torno a este fenómeno se encuentra expresada en fríos números (generalizantes y abstractos), olvidando lo más importante: las personas tras esas cifras.http://dx.doi.org/10.4995/ANIAV.2017.5696

Full textAbstract:
El proyecto analiza cómo el funk, un estilo musical afrobrasileño, ha sido retratado por el audiovisual brasileño. Realiza un estudio de caso de Sintonia (2019), una coproducción de Netflix / Kondzilla, centrándose en dos aspectos fundamentales: (1) la construcción narrativa de la serie y sus personajes, un análisis de la trama a partir de Robert Mckee (1997) y Christopher Vogler (1992) como lineamientos y (2) la estrategia transmedia, basada en los conceptos de cultura participativa, convergencia mediática e inteligencia colectiva de Henry Jenkins (2009). El estudio utiliza la definición de Jenkins de la narración transmedia como un proceso en el que los elementos de una ficción se dispersan sistemáticamente en múltiples plataformas de contenido con el propósito de crear una experiencia de entretenimiento unificada y coordinada, en la que cada medio contribuye de una manera única. El análisis también mapea los canales de distribución utilizados por Sintonia y su contribución al desarrollo de la narrativa, de sus personajes y del universo de ficción. El análisis enumera las decisiones estratégicas transmedia de los productores basadas en los siete principios transmedia en el trabajo de Jenkins: propagabilidad vs. profundidad; Continuidad vs. Multiplicidad; Capacidad de inmersión frente a extracción; Construcción del Universo Ficticio; Serialidad; Subjetividad y Performance. La hipótesis es que, en términos narrativos, Sintonia consagra la Jornada do Funkeiro en plataforma de streaming. Jornada do Funkeiro o Funker’s Journey es un término original que define una historia moderna y contemporánea, contada miles de veces y en diferentes formatos, omnipresente en la obra de Kondzilla, con estatus mítico en el barrio pobre brasileño. La historia es la saga de un joven pobre que lucha contra las dificultades económicas, los prejuicios, la falta de apoyo y otras adversidades para cumplir su sueño de convertirse en un MC exitoso. A través de su camino gana fama y dinero y cambia su vida para mejor, obedeciendo a una condición innegociable: no olvidar nunca sus raíces sociales. La fidelidad a esta narrativa guía la estrategia transmedia de la serie y sirve como código de coherencia a los productores en su interacción con el público. Sintonia retrata la vida y los conflictos de tres jóvenes cubriendo temas universales como la fama, el crimen, los prejuicios, la desigualdad, el trabajo, los conflictos familiares y la fe. El protagonista de la historia es MC Doni, un joven de un barrio pobre de la ciudad de São Paulo, la más grande de Brasil. MC Doni es un protagonista activo, entra en conflicto con el mundo y las personas que lo rodean para lograr su objetivo de convertirse en un MC exitoso. Sus conflictos internos incluyen la baja autoestima, la timidez, el estigma de ser un habitante de tugurios, el miedo a decepcionar a su familia y, sobre todo, el miedo a fracasar.

Full textAbstract:
El agua es un bien preciado en la promoción de alojamientos turísticos. Todo alojamiento de una categoría media o superior ofrece, al menos, habitaciones con cuarto de baño. Y, a medida que va aumentando la categoría del establecimiento, prolifera la sofisticación de los accesorios (douche multi-jets, douche pluie, baignoire à jet hydro, baignoire jacuzzi, baignoire thérapeutique, etc). Otra instalación hotelera frecuente que depende totalmente del agua es la piscina: su presencia y descripción suele ser uno de los leitmotiv publicitario. Hallamos de todo tipo: piscine de plein air, couverte, d’eau salée, chauffée, accesible aux enfants, etc. En último lugar, están los servicios basados en el agua ofrecidos por hoteles con zona spa (cada vez más frecuentes) o los llamados hoteles spa que ofrecen tratamientos relacionados con el agua: estos se convierten en un buen reclamo para los clientes. Por ejemplo, el uso de bassins d’eau chaude et froide, sauna, douche nordique, bain à remous, spa nordique, etc. Para llevar a cabo esta investigación nos basaremos en un corpus de aproximadamente un millón de palabras en lengua francesa compilado de páginas web comerciales de promoción de alojamientos de Francia y Canadá. Analizaremos el léxico relacionado con las instalaciones y servicios basados en el uso del agua citados. Con el estudio de la riqueza de este campo léxico en nuestro corpus –palabras simples y compuestas - esperamos llegar a conclusiones pertinentes sobre el protagonismo del elemento líquido en la promoción hotelera y el papel fundamental de la riqueza léxica del lenguaje publicitario en la captación de clientela.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.4995/XXVColloqueAFUE.2016.3570

Full textAbstract:
Un dels efectes més notables de la reestructuració econòmica viscuda a Europa durant les darreres
dècades ha estat la intensificació dels processos de pobresa urbana i exclusió social. El que ha comportat
el reforçament i agudització de les desigualtats socials i la segregació espacial, consolidant-se així una
realitat urbana dualitzada. Les situacions d’exclusió social han tendit a concentrar-se en aquelles àrees
urbanes que pateixen majors processos de degradació, amb una qualitat de vida i unes oportunitats
econòmiques sensiblement inferiors a la del conjunt urbà més proper.
Per treballar en favor d’un model de desenvolupament urbà sostenible i socialment més just, així com per
donar resposta als reptes i necessitats especials dels barris amb dificultats, s’estan implementant, en
diferents ciutats europees, respostes conegudes com programes d’intervenció integral. Aquests
programes recullen de forma explícita la voluntat d’actuar sobre les múltiples variables que configuren i
expliquen les situacions de marginalitat urbana. No plantegen actuacions focalitzades en la transformació
de l’espai físic, sinó que també atorguen una atenció especial als diferents factors que interaccionen en la
configuració social i econòmica de l’espai urbà.
La perspectiva integrada implica la superació del model clàssic de compartimentació sectorial. L’element
que canalitza l’actuació pública no són les responsabilitats i fronteres competencials, sinó els dèficits i les
oportunitats que manifesta una determinada àrea urbana.
Aquest model d’intervenció ha assolit un creixent protagonisme, tant en l’agenda política de diferents
Estats i regions europees, com en la pròpia UE. L’any 1994, la UE creà la Iniciativa Comunitària URBAN.
El programa recollia com a objectius generals la necessitat de fer front a la degradació de la qualitat de
vida en determinats espais de les ciutats i actuar en favor de la redinamització socioeconòmica i ambiental
de les àrees urbanes amb dificultats. A través de dues edicions (1994-1999 i 2000-2006), URBAN ha
permès cofinançar 188 programes en 15 Estats Membres.
En aquesta comunicació es presentarà els resultats d’una recerca sobre la IC URBAN, tot centrant
l’atenció de l’anàlisi en el model d’aproximació a la realitat urbana que planteja. Aquest model es
caracteritza per la perspectiva integrada de les qüestions socials, econòmiques i medi ambientals com a mecanisme per donar una millor resposta als problemes locals. Finalment, s’interpretarà l’impacte assolit
per URBAN, emprant com a indicador l’anàlisi de diferents casos d’estudi de ciutats angleses, espanyoles,
franceses i italianes One of the most notable effects of the economic restructuring undertaken in Europe during recent decades
has been the intensification of processes that give rise to urban poverty and social exclusion. This has led
to the reinforcing and sharpening of social inequalities and spatial segregation and to the consolidation of
a dichotomous urban reality. Situations of social exclusion have tended to concentrate in urban areas that
have suffered major processes of degradation and which have levels of quality of life and economic
opportunity that are appreciably inferior to those of their nearest urban neighbours.
Several European cities are currently working towards the creation of a model of sustainable and more
socially just urban development and towards providing responses to the challenges and special needs of
neighbourhoods with difficulties. This initiative forms part of what are known as integrated intervention
programmes. These programmes explicitly share the will to take appropriate action to influence the many
variables that configure and explain situations of urban marginality. They do not only propose interventions
aimed at physically transforming space, but also dedicate special attention to the different factors that
interact to determine the social and economic configuration of urban space.
The integrated approach implies improving on the classical model of sectorial division. The elements that
channel public responses are not responsibility and competence frontiers, but rather the deficits and
opportunities manifested by a given urban area.
This new model for intervention has gained increasing protagonism, both in the political agendas of
various European states and regions and in the European Union itself. In 1994, the EU established the
URBAN Community Initiative. The general objectives of this programme were related to the need to take
measures against the loss of quality of life in certain parts of cities and to take action to promote the
socioeconomic and environmental revitalisation of urban areas with difficulties. To date, two editions of
URBAN (1994-1999 and 2000-2006) have permitted the co-financing of 188 programmes in 15 EU
member states.
In this communication, we will present the results of research relating to the URBAN Community Initiative,
specifically focusing our attention and analysis on the model for urban reality that it proposes. This model
is characterised by the way in which social, economic and environmental questions are addressed from an
integrated approach, which serves as a mechanism for providing better responses to local problems.
Finally, we will analyse the impact that the URBAN has achieved, using case studies based on British,
Spanish, French and Italian cities as indicators in this analysis.
