Emotional expressions form a key part of user behavior on today's digital platforms. While multimodal emotion recognition techniques are gaining research attention, there is a lack of deeper understanding on how visual and non-visual features can be used to better recognize emotions in certain contexts, but not others. This study analyzes the interplay between the effects of multimodal emotion features derived from facial expressions, tone and text in conjunction with two key contextual factors: i) gender of the speaker, and ii) duration of the emotional episode. Using a large public dataset of 2,176 manually annotated YouTube videos, we found that while multimodal features consistently outperformed bimodal and unimodal features, their performance varied significantly across different emotions, gender and duration contexts. Multimodal features performed particularly better for male speakers in recognizing most emotions. Furthermore, multimodal features performed particularly better for shorter than for longer videos in recognizing neutral and happiness, but not sadness and anger. These findings offer new insights towards the development of more context-aware emotion recognition and empathetic systems., Comment: Accepted version at IEEE Transactions on Affective Computing

Linguistic image can be defi ned as a verbal equivalent of the mental image of a particular object, abstraction or phenomenon in the minds of the people, which is formed on the basis of national conceptual and structural canons, also lexical and semantic features of the language system.The image of the earth is special, unique for any ethnic group, any culture. The earth is one of the words-symbols that characterize the worldview of Ukrainians. Therefore, the purpose of the article is to analyze the linguistic expression of the image of the earth in the novel by M. Mathios «Beech Land».The article analyzes the linguistic image of the earth in the work of M. Mathios «Beech Land». It was found that the peculiarity o f this image is its wide aspect, comprehensiveness. The earth covers everything that happens on it. The image of the earth is also special in that the author omits much of the traditional semantic content of the verbalizer token, instead emphasizing new meanings, such as God’s election, earth-centeredness, and human orientation. The earth is most vividly characterized by human activity on it, which is also infl uenced by the earth. Undoubtedly, the key component in the image is beauty, but the image of the earth is a symbiosis of the material and the spiritual, the concrete and the abstract, the low and the high.. For example, this image presupposes both the sacredness of the earth and its profaneness; the earth gives, but also takes away. The combination of such opposites in one image testifi es to its high abstraction, ancient origin, long and complex formation, semantic capacity and self-suffi ciency.

Continued participation in music has been associated with well-being outcomes, yet many either fail to begin or cease musical participation after limited exposure. The current research examined why individuals cease participating, focusing on identifying barriers to participation and the support needed to reengage in musical activities. A sample of 190 Australian residents (Mage = 26.87; 75.80% female) who had ceased previous musical participation completed an online questionnaire in which they rated the degree to which 15 items reflected their reasons for ceasing musical participation and answered an open-ended question regarding their requirements for reengagement. An exploratory factor analysis of the quantitative responses identified 4 components relating to cessation: “access and opportunity,” “activity experience,” “obligations,” and “difficulty with practicing.” A grounded theory analysis concerning the support required for reengagement indicated 4 key themes: “personal investment,” “requirements of the musical activity,” “personal qualities,” and “no interest in reengagement.” Collectively, these results provide an in-depth understanding of factors external to music itself as influences on continued musical participation. With implications for facilitators and educators, these results suggest a need for collaboration and interaction between music facilitators and participants.

The Paschal Mystery is the central reality of the Christianity. This is a series of historical events, presented in the canonical Gospels, in which Jesus from Nazaret was submit to the suffering, death, but was revived and bas ascend 10 the glory. These events was full of meanings and significations. This significations of paschal event has been meditated and analyzed in the Christian text, - in Gospels, in Paul’s Letters, but in the sermon of Fathers of the Church. Meliton of Sardes, Orygenes, Pseudo-Hypolite, and others are known as the interpreters of paschal events. The liturgical texts - Exultet and Victimae Paschali explain the profound sense of the Death and the resurrection of Christ All these works inspired the iconography. This presentation has to review the some works of art in Central Europeand interpretations their theological sense. The gestures will be the key to discovery of meaning.

The ability to do indirectness, inexplicitness and vagueness is a key component in the repertoire of all competent discoursers and these are commonplace phenomena in written and spoken discourses, particularly in conversations. The study reported in the paper seeks to delineate and exemplify these three terms which are used frequently in the literature, but which are potentially confusing as they are not always unambiguously defined and consistently applied. The purpose of the study is to describe the differences between the three terms in terms of their pragmatic usage and functions, drawing upon a corpus of naturally-occurring conversational data between Hong Kong Chinese and native speakers of English. In so doing, this study underlines the widespread occurrence of these forms of language use and the ways in which participants in spoken discourse employ them to jointly construct both context and meaning.

Adrienne Lo and Angela Reyes We prepared this bibliography in response to requests from colleagues who have had difficulty finding pieces on the language practices of Asian Pacific Americans for use in research and teaching. The works below draw upon research in different traditions, including education, sociolinguistics, discourse analysis, language acquisition, communications, social psychology and conversational analysis. We have tried to include a variety of works on different ethnic groups, while highlighting key pieces from individual authors.

Summary While animals navigating the real world face a barrage of complex sensory input, their brains have evolved to perceptually compress multidimensional information by selectively extracting the features relevant for survival. For instance, communication signals supporting social interactions in several mammalian species consist of acoustically complex sequences of vocalizations, however little is known about what information listeners extract from such time-varying sensory streams. Here, we utilize female mice’s natural behavioural response to male courtship songs to evaluate the relevant acoustic dimensions used in their social decisions. We found that females were highly sensitive to disruptions of song temporal regularity, and preferentially approached playbacks of intact male songs over rhythmically irregular versions of the songs. In contrast, female behaviour was invariant to manipulations affecting the songs’ sequential organization, or the spectrotemporal structure of individual syllables. The results reveal temporal regularity as a key acoustic cue extracted by mammalian listeners from complex vocal sequences during goal-directed social behaviour. Highlights - Natural behaviour is used to probe how mouse listeners encode vocal sequences - Listeners are highly sensitive to disruptions of the songs’ rhythmic regularity - Female behaviour is invariant to changes in song sequence - Approach behaviour is robust to the removal of syllable spectrotemporal dynamics

The purpose of this study is to develop the stories as the learning sources for teaching character at English lesson. This research was conducted by using research and developmental design (R & D) because the goal is to develop a product, i.e. the translated stories of Prophets. By developing the adapted model of Borg and Gall (1983), some procedures had been carried out. The product of the research is a book consisting of the translated stories of Prophet which were reviewed by experts in terms of its plot, content, language and design. In short, through this story book of Prophets, students and readers can learn the virtuous – worthy character – of Prophets as the good model for them. Besides, they can also learn English Language, especially in increasing their vocabulary in English. The suggestion given to the product of research was related to quantity of Prophet stories. Since this book just contains the story of the outstanding Prophets, it was suggested to cover all the Prophet stories for the next study. Key words: stories of the Prophets, character education, English lesson

Wisdom is a concept that has deep roots in the history of our culture. Its meaning can be more easily grasped through examples, stories, mimetic rapprochements and reflections than through definitions. In terms of method this paper attempts to capture the essence of wisdom by describing some of its key characteristics without, however, trying to define exactly what wisdom is. A common scientific approach to phenomena is to attempt to define them precisely, and this could not possibly do justice to the complexity of wisdom, which has so many dimensions to it that it eludes definition. In this paper I propose therefore to sketch out a number of important characteristics, in order to try and grasp the complex phenomenon of wisdom without placing limitations on it in any way by defining it.

Academic attention to populism has sharply increased in recent years. As Mudde (2004: 541) notes, thousand of books, articles, columns, and editorials have been written about it in the last two decades. Yet a commonly accepted definition is still lacking, with scholars disagreeing on categorization, labels, and boundaries between its different manifestations. Some also stress that there is an abuse of this term in public discourse. One of the difficulties regarding the definition of populism is that it has been applied (and adapted) to several very different historical phenomena (movements, parties, regimes, intellectuals), across various periods of time: from the American People's Party of the late 1800s to postwar European movements such as the Italian Common Man's Front (late 1940s), the poujadist (conservative reactionary movement to protect the business interests of small traders) French Union for the Defense of Merchants and Artisans (late 1950s), the Dutch Farmers Party (1960s), or the Danish Progress Party (1970s). Some scholars have argued that populism was a key feature of Mussolini's and Hitler's regimes (Mammone 2009). Keywords: political sociology; propaganda; protests

Eighty-seven years ago, Köhler reported that the majority of students picked the same answer in a quiz: Which novel word form (‘maluma’ or ‘takete’) went best with which abstract line drawing (one curved, one angular). Others have consistently shown the effect in a variety of contexts, with only one reported failure by Rogers and Ross. In the spirit of transparency, we report our own failure in the same journal. In our study, speakers of Syuba, from the Himalaya in Nepal, do not show a preference when matching word forms ‘kiki’ and ‘bubu’ to spiky versus curvy shapes. We conducted a meta-analysis of previous studies to investigate the relationship between pseudoword legality and task effects. Our combined analyses suggest a common source for both of the failures: ‘wordiness’ – We believe these tests fail when the test words do not behave according to the sound structure of the target language.

The main purpose was to analyse the frequency and effectiveness of different kind of shots and players’ footwork performed by single men badminton players on World Championship depending on court zone. 18 matches were randomly selected and evaluated with a total of 1,273 points and 5,710 play actions. The most stressed court zone is Z5 and Z8 (middle zone) followed by Z10 (deep and lateral zone), while the most successful areas are Z8 (left middle zone) and Z10. When analysing footwork depending on distance covered by players, large footwork is performed mostly to Z1 and Z2. Hitting the shuttlecock with no previous movement is the most common situation from Z4 and Z5. When gathering in three court zones, the most stressed one is middle zone with similar values for Net and deep court zone. On the contrary, the most successfully gathered court zone is deep one, followed by middle and Net zones.

This collective paper on radicalization and violent extremism part of the 'Philosophy of education in a new key' initiative by Educational Philosophy and Theory brings together some of the leading contemporary scholars writing on the most pressing epistemological, ethical, political and educational issues facing post-9/11 scholarship on radicalization and violent extremism. Its overall aim is to move beyond the 'conventional wisdom' associated with this area of scholarly research best represented by its many slogans, metaphors and other thought-terminating cliches. By providing conceptual lenses on issues previously compartmentalized primarily [or even exclusively] in security and intelligence studies or at the fringes of scholarly interest, radicalization and violent extremism turn out to be much more complex than 'radicalization studies' has been eager to acknowledge.

Music is a key and heavily researched stimulus in tourism and hospitality service settings. However, this growing body of research has produced contradictory results in terms of direction, strength, and statistical significance, rendering conclusions and evidence-based decisions questionable and precarious. This meta-analysis of 56 studies and 209 effects quantitatively synthesizes empirical evidence regarding the influence of music in tourism and hospitality service settings. We consider five dimensions of music and assess their effects on a wide range of customers’ organismic reactions and behavioral responses. The results indicate that it is not so much the presence of music but the design of it that influences customers. In addition, the preferential dimensions of music have a much stronger influence on customers than the physical dimensions of music. The large number of relationships examined offers practical guidance to professionals on the effective use of music in tourism and hospitality settings.

This paper challenges the wilderness ideology with which the Group of Seven’s coastal landscapes of the north shore of Lake Superior are often associated. Focusing my analysis around key works by Lawren Harris, A.Y. Jackson, J.E.H. MacDonald, and Franklin Carmichael, I offer an alternative perspective on commonly-adopted national and wilderness narratives, and instead consider these works in line with an emergent ecocritical consciousness. While a conversation about wilderness in relation to the Group of Seven often ignores the colonial history and Indigenous communities that previously inhabited coastal Lake Superior, this paper identifies these within a discussion of the environmental history of the region. That the environment of the north shore of Lake Superior was a primordial space waiting to be discovered and conquered only seeks to ratify the landscape as a colonial space. Instead, by engaging with the ecological complexities and environmental aesthetics of Lake Superior and its surrounding shoreline, I challenge this colonial and ideological construct of the wilderness, accounting for the prevailing fur trade, fishing, and lumber industries that dominated during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. A discussion of environmental history and landscape painting further allows for a consideration of both the exploitation and the preservation of nature over the course of the twentieth century, and looks beyond the theosophical and mystical in relation to the Group’s Lake Superior works. As such, the timeliness of an ecocritical perspective on the Group of Seven’s landscapes represents an opportunity to consider how we might recontextualize these paintings in a time of unprecedented anthropogenic climate change, while recognizing the people and history to whom this land traditionally belongs.

The introductory discussion brings academic readers into the first issue by sketching key ideas from all the article contributions and by interacting with them for further insights. In performing this task, the introduction captures a range of perspectives, methods, contents, and arguments, all of which demonstrate the richness of silence in context. A wide range of silences, as they are suggested by the articles in this issue, are summarised, elaborated, and connected into the relevant discourse. In the end, several gaps in silence research are highlighted to inspire scholars who wish to explore silence in more depth.

Social mattering refers to an individual’s perceived sense of significance in the world and is a key aspect of overall mental health. Using data from a representative survey of adult Americans, we test the extent to which societal-level status, community engagement, group memberships, and interpersonal attachments affect men’s and women’s sense of mattering. We find that women gain social significance to the extent that they feel attached to others interpersonally, in terms of romantic relationships, parenthood, friendships, and closeness to family. Men’s sense of mattering is significantly influenced by broader social factors, like their strength of attachment to the Republican Party, their social media use, and their ability to donate money to the community. These differences suggests that gender norms lead men to also seek significance from the broader community and through group memberships while women rely mainly on their close social ties to feel like they matter.

This paper is based on the experience gained while transcribing the audio recording of the round table discussion on polyglottery and education held at the international conference Multilingual Proficiency: Language, Polyglossia and Polyglottery (New York City, 2013). The discussion covered such topics as the definitions of a polyglot, the measurement of language knowledge, the phenomenon of switching languages in speech and the implementation of polyglots’ experience in language education systems. A summary of the discussion is provided, the key ideas of the participants are pointed out, and some personal observations on the matter are shared, including the difficulties confronted during the process of transcription.

This article considers the impact of the not-for-profit motive promoted by radical campaigners of the New Theatre movement on accounts of British theatre history. Using the Malvern Festival (1929–1949) as a case study of similar ventures associated with the New Theatre movement, this article explores the ways in which influential figures involved with these projects have distorted narratives of theatre through their emphasis on the not-for-profit/commercial binary opposition. The correspondence between key collaborators in the Festival – Bernard Shaw, Sir Barry Jackson and the lessee of the Malvern Theatre, Roy Limbert – discussed in this article reveals the flaws in such narratives, contradicting previous accounts of the Festival. These letters reveal that Shaw and Jackson failed to adhere to their own condemnations of profitmaking as they struggled to reconcile this outlook with the reality of the Malvern Festival and more broadly the material conditions of theatre.

Professors of physics in nineteenth-century America had two options for procuring the apparatus that they needed to demonstrate the phenomena of physics to their students. Some apparatus was available from makers and dealers in Europe, mostly in France (for optical apparatus) and Germany. A few teachers, such as Ebenezer Snell of Amherst, made some of their own apparatus. The rest of the instruments came from the fledgling North American apparatus industry, based in Boston, New York, Philadelphia, and toward the end of the century, Chicago. In this article, I will discuss apparatus made by Chamberlain, Wightman, Davis, Ritchie, Pike and Ritchie, Queen, and then a few Chicago companies, and will give examples of some of their products. Toward the end of the century, a few colleges decided that the making of physics apparatus was a key adjunct of the experience of learning physics, and I will give some examples.

Singular they has emerged as a key term in contemporary gender politics, reflecting growing usage of they/them as nonbinary personal pronouns. Drawing on interviews with 54 progressive gender activists, we consider how singular they can be used to resist and redo aspects of the prevailing gender structure. We identify three distinct usages of singular they: (1) as a nonbinary personal pronoun, (2) as a universal gender-neutral pronoun, and (3) as an indefinite pronoun when a person’s self-identified gender is unknown. While previous research on singular they as a gender-inclusive language practice has focused primarily on its usage as a nonbinary personal pronoun, our findings point to the relevance for gender politics of all three usages. Our analysis offers new insight into how nonbinary they challenges dominant gender norms and practices beyond incorporating additional gender categories. Given our findings, we propose further investigation of how using gender-neutral pronouns for everyone in specific contexts can advance progressive activists’ goals. Finally, we argue that the longstanding usage of singular they as an indefinite pronoun has new importance today in affirming gender as a self-determined identity.

A review essay of key works and trends in the political thought of Central and Eastern Europe, before and after 1989. The topics examined include the nature of the 1989 velvet revolutions in the region, debates on civil society, democratization, the relationship between politics, economics, and culture, nationalism, legal reform, feminism, and “illiberal democracy.” The review essay concludes with an assessment of the most recent trends in the region.

Este traballo quere conmemorar o bicentenario do nacemento de Marcial Valladares (1821-1903), un autor fundamental do Rexurdimento galego que se distingue por unha obra pioneira, prolífica e poliédrica que conxuga o literario, o lingüístico e o folclórico. Con este obxectivo, realizamos un relato cronolóxico da súa biobibliografía, resultado de revisar, sistematizar e harmonizar os datos de traballos xa existentes sobre o escritor e lingüista e doutros novos procedentes do rastrexo feito nas páxinas da prensa do século XIX e XX.

Literary and medical historical scholars have long explored the work of physician–writers and the cross-pollination of literature and medicine. However, few scholars have considered how these interactions have shaped medical manuscripts and the echoes they contain of the emotional contours of the medical encounter. This essay uses the papers of Southern physician Andrew Bowles Holder (1860–1896) to explore how the emotions of the physician were managed at the bedside and in the aftermath of medical encounters through recourse to literary thinking. Holder, like many 19th-century physicians, was an avid reader with an interest in literary endeavours, and his manuscripts reveal the influences of literature on his work as a physician. This article frames the bedside as a theatre of emotions, in which Holder’s performance and management of his emotions was key to his professional identity. His literary interests thus provided him with two tools: first, literature provided him with models for how to respond to and record different kinds of medical encounters, particularly deaths, near-death experiences and childbirth; second, his mode of keeping these records, which included the production of poetry as well as medical prose, served as a technology of coping, further allowing him to manage his emotions by exorcising them on the page.

While the concept of charisma is widely used in the social sciences, its embodied nature is less thoroughly explored and theorised. This paper revisits the key embodied characteristics of Weber's sociology of charisma and re-interprets these using Shilling's (2005, 2013) umbrella notions of the body as a source and location of and means for society as a way of analysing the idea of the charismatic body as a force for social change. It then draws on a range of embodied concepts to illuminate how charisma is significant channel of infra and inter-corporeal affective interaction between “leaders” and their followers. In particular, Freund's (2009) social synaesthesia and bio-agency, Massumi's (2002) perspective of affect and the moving body, Thrift's (2010) charismatic celebrity, allure and glamour, Mellor and Shilling's (1997) sensual solidarities, and Seyfert's (2012) conception of affectif. To develop and illustrate this perspective of the charismatically affective body in action, the life of film star and martial artist Bruce Lee (1940–1973) is utilised.

Hillbilly Elegy has had a profound impact on contemporary views and opinions of Appalachia. In this review, the authors discuss this impact and provide key critiques that help readers make sense of the generalizations made in the book by placing Hillbilly Elegy in conversation with other contemporary Appalachian scholarship. The authors conclude that J. D. Vance has a right to tell his story but telling the story of the Appalachian people is more complex and nuanced than Vance acknowledges, and the authors caution readers to consider this when reading Hillbilly Elegy.

El fascinante legado del cineasta René Vautier (1928-2015) choca con la escasez de referencias académicas a su obra, a pesar de su inmenso valor histórico. Vautier es un exponente clave para ilustrar las fisuras del paradigma historiográfico actual, que excluye voces y opiniones cuyo rol es instrumental para reescribir la Historia. Llevó siempre al límite su pasión por la realidad y la verdad histórica, lo que derivó en una interminable lista de problemas institucionales. A través del caso de estudio del impacto social y artístico de su documental Un homme est mort, esta investigación indaga en las razones por las que hay artistas que han sido irrelevantes para la academia francesa, al mismo tiempo que los poderes establecidos perseguían su obra a través de peligrosas medidas que atacaban directamente a la libertad de expresión, como trabas legales, censura o recortes económicos. Estas políticas restrictivas derivaron en un empeoramiento sustancial de las condiciones de rodaje y en la autocensura y redujeron el impacto potencial en las audiencias, al quedar fuera del circuito de exhibición oficial. Además, dado que no existían oficialmente, estas películas no optan de manera automática a los programas de conservación pública. En definitiva, se produjo una alteración del marco conceptual que debería haberse generado a largo plazo en las relaciones entre arte y sociedad, entregándonos un imaginario cultural construido de espaldas a una parte esencial de la Historia (del arte). The captivating artistic legacy of René Vautier (1928-2015) clashes with the lack of research on the impact of his extraordinary career, given the notable value of his work. Vautier is a key example that illustrates the cracks in the schemas of traditional historiography, unable to recognise the plurality of voices and opinions that should be taken into account to rewrite History. The taste for reality and historical truth, taken to such extremes in his films, resulted in a long list of institutional problems. Through the analysis of the social and artistic impact of one of his very first films, Un homme est mort, we are able to understand why some artists were considered secondary or irrelevant by the French academia. The films were also persecuted by the Establishment with extremely dangerous measures in regard to freedom of expression such as legal constraints, censorship and financial cuts. These restrictive policies first led to lower quality filming material, smaller crews, fewer projects, or self-censorship; but the policies also resulted in an alternative exhibition circuit that diminished the scope of audiences. Furthermore, as they never existed officially these films do not benefit from public conservation programs automatically. In addition, the conceptual leap has been altered with long-term implications for art and society: Our common cultural imaginary has been built without significant pieces of (art) history, such as this.

The investigation of ideology in audiovisual translation (AVT) has recently attracted a lot of attention from researchers in the field. The present study aimed to shed light on the impact of ideology on audiovisual translation with regard to Persian dubbing of three Hollywood animations. First, the concept of ideology and hegemony within Hollywood products were discussed. Then, the translations of culture-specific items (CSIs) and taboos were analytically examined and finally discussed according to Venuti’s (2008) theory. The results indicated that translators tried to produce highly domesticated versions of the originals. The findings showed that the status of cultures, minor or dominant, could play a key role in translators’ decisions. When translators translate from a dominant to a minor culture, some form of resistance may be born. The target community cultural institutions tend to use translation as their last cultural fortress.

O livro de Jonas tem sido amplamente conhecido como uma obra prima literária. Nas últimas décadas, estudiosos tem explorado os recursos narrativos do livro como um todo enfatizando sua relação entre forma e conteúdo. Contudo, dentre essas análises literárias, poucas exploram um fenômeno chave para se compreender o livro: a presença de ironia. No livro de Jonas, a ironia é central para revelar os múltiplos fatores de interconexão entre as diversas partes do livro. Essencial para a caracterização, a ironia joga com as expectativas do leitor; todos os personagens atuam de forma oposta à esperada. A ironia também aparece relacionada ao ponto de vista; o narrador a explora através das palavras inseridas na boca dos personagens. Finalmente, há ironia na maneira como essas palavras ecoam outros textos do cânon; o discurso do rei de Nínive, por exemplo, reproduz as palavras de Moisés em Êx. 32 e 34. Por meio da crítica narrativa, este artigo tem o objetivo de explorar como a ironia opera no livro tornando-o a sátira de um antiprofeta.

The article examines the Karachai-Balkarian literature of the "Thaw" era. The main trends in the poetry of the sixties poets are outlined by the example of M. Mokaev’s oeuvre. This work is the first attempt to systematically consider the heritage of M.Kh. Mokaev in its thematic and genre diversity; poetics is studied in the context of historical processes characteristic of the 20th century. It is obvious that without considering the poetry of key personalities it is impossible to achieve objective and significant results in solving the identified problem. In this regard, this study provides an opportunity to fully integrate M. Mokaev’s legacy into scientific circulation. The study reveals the most important aspects in the development of artistic consciousness of the Karachai-Balkarian authors of the "Thaw" era, identifies the main trends, and defines the specificity of the relationship between continuity and innovation. The work used an integrated approach, combining elements of comparative-typological, contrastive-typological, systemic-holistic and historical-literary analysis.

Throughout history, theological reflection on hell expanded considerably. Between the 19th and 20th centuries, Christian eschatology in general, and theology of hell in particular, underwent a major renewal. At the end of the 20th century John Paul II issued a document in which he examined the appropriate way to connect divine mercy and hell in the light of the very core of Christian revelation. Although it has been largely ignored, John Paul II’s document is relevant to any current presentation of Christian eschatology that aims to deepen the renewal of this discipline. A new synthesis of the theology of hell is presented at the end of the text.

The article deals with the role the individual author's emotional concept JOY plays in the plot formation of the literary work. The aim of the paper is to determine how the representation of the joy concept reflects the key conflict in the novels "White Fang" and "The Call of the Wild" by Jack London and in the novels "Of Human Bondage" and "The Moon and Sixpence" by W. Somerset Maugham. In order to reach the aim, we use the following methods: conceptual, contextual, definitional analyses, and cognitive modeling method. The methodology for conducting the study involves 1) the identification of the conflict of the literary works reviewed; 2) the analysis of the primary, secondary and implicit representation of the JOY concept in these works; 3) the determination of what plot element and in what way is expressed in the language and what hidden information is given by the verbal representation of the joy concept. Thus, the research results manifest themselves in the detection of two similar oppositions: the North-South opposition is found in the novels by Jack London and the Genius-Philistine opposition is in the novels by W. Somerset Maugham. We come to the conclusion that the verbal representation of the JOY concept illustrates the similarities and differences between the categories "North", "Genius", "South", "Philistine" which are based on the characters` attitude towards the key elements of the conflict formation, which are freedom, love, religion, success, self-expression, new experience, welfare.

A produção visual de Maria Graham se relaciona com as redes de sociabilidade estabelecidas com naturalistas, colecionadores, viajantes, artistas e antiquarianistas. Os acervos da viajante britânica indicam negociações com editores de seus livros de viagem, aspectos da configuração das ilustrações dos livros, assim como trocas de coleções naturais e de informações sobre a paisagem e a flora brasileira. Graham viajou por países como Índia, Brasil, Chile e Itália, e publicou diários sobre esses percursos. Paralela à escrita dos livros, ela produzia cadernos de viagens e ilustrações científicas que ainda são pouco conhecidos e estudados pela literatura especializada. Como uma das poucas mulheres de seu tempo a se destacar na literatura de viagem e a possuir um trabalho botânico consistente, a trajetória de Graham mostra como as mulheres se articularam com figuras chave nas artes e nas ciências.

The main aim of this article is to start a discussion of social pattern, a term that is commonly used in sociology but not specified or defined. The key question can be phrased as follows: Is it possible to transform the notion of social pattern from its current status in sociology as a proto-concept into a fully worked out concept? And if so, how can this be done? To provide material for the discussion we begin by introducing a few different types of patterns that are currently being used (patterns in nature, cultural patterns, statistical patterns, and computationally generated patterns). This is followed by a suggestion for what a strictly sociological concept of social pattern may look like. A useful and theoretically solid concept of social pattern can in our view be constructed by basing it on Weber’s concept of social action. This means that both the behavior of the actors and the meaning these invest their behavior with must be taken into account. The article ends with a brief discussion of how to use the concept of social patterns in an effective way and what may endanger such a use.

The article deals with the similarities and differences of the key characteristics of the interfering influence in the field of grammatical systems of the Karakalpak and English languages. In teaching English, it is important to identify the differences that exist between the target language and the native language of students, since they are the reason for linguistic interference. The author refers to the comparison of the grammatical properties of a number of parts of speech in the English and Karakalpak languages ​​from the point of view of the interference and transposition phenomenon of speech skills in the field of written language. A comparative analysis of the written language of the Karakalpak and English languages ​​made it possible to identify aspects of the language that can be used in the teaching process.

Since the earliest times, the villages of Nongjri and Sohbar, located in the Southern Khasi Hills of North-Eastern India, have had their own religious ceremonies, customs, ways of behaving and beliefs that they share in their practice and narration. Their beliefs in certain village deities are linked with the well-being of the entire village, and are said to have existed from the time these villages were established. In the beliefs of the inhabitants of Nongjri and the village of Sohbar, the deities, mani­fest themselves in various performances and folksongs, and therefore, have become part of the performance itself. Deities, often in the form of human beings, engage in conversation with the villagers. Folklore also tells us that during festivities the ap­proval of the celebrations by village deities becomes the key aspect to foretell the particular nature of the coming year. The lore gathered from the places considered for this study would provide us with a new perspective on belief narratives existing in the Khasi community, while continu­ally locating the position of lore and various processes of tradition in the socio-cultural and religious milieu of both Nongjri and Sohbar. The narratives explored in this paper will also provide – in the Khasi cultural context – the essence of War-Khasi beliefs and rituals that have remained largely undocumented.

Sangam literature are used to clearly understand the development of civilized society and literary richness or off luence. The literature named after the parable can be said to be sangam literature.

Intercultural competence in foreign language teaching has gained importance in recent times. Although current work has highlighted the advantages of content and language integrated learning (CLIL) for intercultural development, little is known about its potential for teaching literature in secondary schools. Treating literature itself as an art form, the aim of this article is to formulate research-based design principles for an integrated intercultural literary pedagogy (IILP) that may foster intercultural competence through arts integration in foreign language classes. This article reports on the process of evaluating IILP-based pilot lesson materials in pre-university education in the Netherlands. Educational design research was applied as a method that encompasses the systematic study of designing, developing, and evaluating educational interventions through an iterative process of evaluation with stakeholders. Three iterations of formative evaluation were conducted, with additions to the tentative design principles following each of the first two iterations. The process resulted in a set of four refined principles. Results also illustrated the effectiveness of IILP-based lesson materials for intercultural competence. Although participating students encountered some difficulties relating to the functionality of the design, the students appreciated its social relevance and reported that the processing of literary texts through dialogic tasks with peers in the target language fostered intercultural language learning.

Since its beginnings in the 1970s, modern rhetorical genre studies has used classical Darwinian adaptation as a key analogy, if not a model, in the study of genre evolution. While the adaptation analogy has obvious strengths, it also produces blind spots. As the studies of rapidly evolving social media genres presented in this article suggest, not all of a genre’s formal features are the result of a purposeful adaptation to an existing rhetorical exigence. Some features repeat and intensify because they are part of the genre’s aesthetic landscape, becoming available to be coopted for a rhetorical purpose later on. This suggests that along with adaptation, exaptation should also be considered as a crucial force in genre evolution. Moreover, the inclusion of exaptation in our model of genre evolution also means that rhetorical genre scholars will need to rediscover the language of aesthetics and form even as genre continues to be studied as social action.

Presentiamo la traduzione di un testo di Anzieu del 1984, pubblicato nel libro di Kaës Le travail de l'inconscient. In questo testo Anzieu tocca molti aspetti della psicoanalisi di gruppo del suo tempo e ciò permette di cogliere le evoluzioni teoriche e tecniche di questa disciplina. Il saggio si apre con una breve introduzione di Kaës, che evidenzia come il metodo definisce in negativo ciò che non può conoscere, riconoscere e quindi trasformare: proprio questa è la chiave di lettura per approcciarsi e comprendere l'intero scritto. Anzieu apre il testo prendendo in esame l'interazione tra i partecipanti del gruppo, il conduttore e l'osservatore: in base al livello evolutivo il gruppo può reagire con vissuti persecutori o depressivi. I terapeuti devono far attenzione a non idealizzare il gruppo come oggetto totale onnipotente o parziale feticistico, e a non cadere quindi nell'illusione che il gruppo può tutto. L'autore prosegue parlando di diverse tecniche di conduzione di gruppo e delineando possibili scenari interattivi, spesso persecutori e conflittuali, che i gruppi stessi e i loro conduttori mettono inconsciamente in atto con e/o verso le istituzioni in cui sono inseriti. Le istituzioni, a loro volta, posso determinare e condizionare l'esistenza stessa dei gruppi e dei loro destini. Per l'autore diventa fondamentale la creazione temporanea di uno spazio transizionale in cui costruire un apparato psichico gruppale, intermedio tra quello individuale e quello istituzionale, che renda possibile la simbolizzazione, la catarsi e la perlaborazione dei conflitti vissuti tra terapeuta-gruppo-istituzione.

In Aristotle's views on cognition a series of terms – hupolêpsis, doxa, and epistêmê – play key roles. But it has not been noticed that each of these comes in two kinds – one unqualified ( haplôs) and the other qualified. When these and their interrelations are properly explored, a deeply systematic picture of cognition emerges, in which doxa is best understood as ‘belief’, hupolêpsis as ‘supposition’, and epistêmê (‘scientific knowledge’) as a sort of belief, so that – contrary to orthodoxy – we can have belief and knowledge of the same things at the same time. Many of these conclusions are shown to mark a continuity with Plato, in that neither thinker, it is argued, holds a so-called ‘two-worlds’ picture of cognition.

La presente investigación se inscribe en la tradición de los estudios de género y examina, mediante un análisis cuantitativo y cualitativo, una de las principales revistas musicales de España, como fue Vibraciones. El objetivo principal es conocer el tratamiento informativo otorgado a la mujer en la prensa musical, mediante un análisis de contenido que nos permita descubrir cómo se transmiten los roles y estereotipos y de qué manera se configuran las identidades sexuales en la música de la década de los ochenta del siglo pasado. Una fecha clave con cambios sociales, políticos y económicos que propicia el contexto adecuado para llevar a cabo un análisis de cómo la prensa musical ha ido incurriendo en una discriminación de género hacia las artistas. Los resultados muestran una cifra ínfima de contenidos e imágenes protagonizados por mujeres, abundando los estereotipos físicos compatibles con una cosificación y revelando que el lenguaje de los medios es un arma de control que puede utilizarse para ejecutar opresión, impregnando la obra de las mujeres de una misoginia que trasciende fronteras culturales, geográficas y estéticas.
