This article reviews the experience of Ireland's Combat Poverty Agency and asks what lessons it may have for fourth branch scholarship. The lesson of the Agency is, in part, one about the pitfalls for novel institutions operating within a traditional tripartite model of constitutional government. The article also suggests, however, that the Combat Poverty Agency's history may point to the positive potential for the design and operational strategies of non-traditional bodies charged with the promotion of specific social or economic goals. In so doing some reservations about both the specific implications and overall utility of framing these bodies in 'fourth branch' terms are also raised. These include concerns regarding the distinctiveness and (relatedly) authority of some conceptions of a 'fourth branch'. In particular, however, the article queries whether the elevation of independent agencies to 'branch' status is always beneficial; and whether, in fact, the location of anti-poverty agencies at a sub-constitutional level may, under certain conditions at least, offer advantages in terms of flexibility and practical problem-solving power.

Abstract (E): We investigate whether people use a narrative/story schema to organize visual information in figurative isolated pictures representing a "pregnant moment", and, if so, how they do this. The participants in our study were asked to freely describe pictures that depict some event. Their descriptions were analyzed according to a system of categories developed especially for examining the use of an elaborated narrative organization. The findings support the hypothesis that observers use elaborated narrative organization that goes beyond mere temporal and causal organization (including, e.g., exposition, complication, resolution). Furthermore, the findings suggest that this elaborative narrative organization sometimes dominates the visual organization of the pictures. Abstract (F): Cet article tente de répondre à la question suivante: est-ce que les spectateurs se servent d’un schéma base sur l’opposition narration/récit pour organiser l’information visuelle contenue dans des images fixes isolées représentant un « moment prégnant », et, si oui, comment le font-ils ? Pour ce faire, nous avons demandé aux participants à notre étude de décrire librement certaines images qui représentent un événement. Ensuite nous avons analysé leurs descriptions en nous référant à un système de catégories spécialement conçues pour l’analyse d’organisations narratives complexes. Nos observations étayent l’hypothèse que les spectateurs recourent à des structures d’organisation narrative très complexes qui dépassent le seul niveau de l’organisation temporelle et causale (et qui incluent par exemple des structures comme : exposition, complication, résolution). De plus, nos observations démontrent aussi que l’organisation narrative est parfois plus importante que l’organisation proprement visuelle des images.

The article focuses on the relationship between literature and photography, particularly in the context of the phototext and the novel-photo. It delves into the historical connection between these two mediums and explores how they have been intertwined throughout the 19th and 20th centuries. It examines the challenges and resistances faced by phototexts in literature and the experimental use of photography in literary works.

An introduction is presented in which the editor discusses articles in the issue on topics including, "analysis of the Poetics of the fictional place in the Kuwaiti novel", and Nadeen al-Dakkak's assessment of Palestinian narratives in Saudi Arabia related to displacement and alienation".

Purpose - To explore identity dynamics in the lived experience of a strategic change over time. Design/methodology/approach - Qualitative data were collected through a longitudinal engagement with the focal organisation. Narrative analysis was used to trace the identity dynamics of senior figures in an organisation as it went through strategic change. This entailed a change of CEO and chairman, alterations to the composition of the board and the executive team and, in association with these changes in personnel, alterations to the strategy and direction of the company. Findings - The identity dynamics were at times comfortable and uncomfortable fits for the individuals involved, and over time expectations and realisations impacted on the processes of change in ways that were unexpected and unintentional for the actors. The outcome of the analysis shows the disruptive impact of identity dynamics on the practice of strategic change; Research limitations - The nature of the research undertaken does not seek to represent a holistic case study but, rather, is focused on a depth analysis of selected interactional data. Practical implications - A critique of traditional views of resistance to change is presented and an alternative approach to analysing reactions to change is proposed. Originality/value - The paper contributes a narrative approach to the discursive analysis of strategic change. It also elaborates the significance of "identity work" in such settings.

This text is an attempt to answer the question of how to construct educational experiences in the professional biography of adults and their location within the practices of lifelong learning. To this end, the author presents the results of research on the ways in which public school teachers give meaning to their own professional experiences. Next she tries to show that the issues revealed as a result of the analysis are an important horizon for understanding and learning about their everyday life. As a result of the analysis of teachers' narratives, the author established three schemes for defining professional experiences, which in their essence reveal: lack of teachers' influence on the quality of education in general (a), perceiving the school as an effective organisation operating on the market (b), closing professional identity within its teaching method and its improvement. Referring to the concept of "biographicity" by Peter Alheit, the author shows that individual biography is a dynamic construct constantly reconstructed in a specific time, in socio-cultural and political conditions or in relation to other people - that is, practices that we identify as lifelong learning. In the case of the interviewed teachers, an element of these practices is the issue of shaping the culture of subordination and with it the politicisation and marketisation of education as well as the instrumental treatment of oneself and students.

Objective. The primary aims of this study were to explore: (1) manifestations of socio-environmental models of allied health support provision in the disability sector; and (2) narrative experiences of individual allied health professionals in the disability sector. Methods. A narrative qualitative study using interviews from a purposive sample of two allied health professionals working in the disability sector explored manifestations of socio-environmental models of allied health support provision and their experiences from case examples. The key informants had more than 10 years of experience in the disability support services setting. Results. Seven key themes exploring manifestations of socio-environmental models of allied health professional practice in the disability sector emerged: (1) dignity of risk; (2) models of care; (3) considerations when working in the supported person's environment; (4) goal-oriented work; (5) informed choice and informed consent; (6) reactive and flexible plans; and (7) training and education role. Conclusions. Socio-environmental models of allied health support provision in the disability sector focus on empowering people with disability to achieve their goals. This may require displacement of cultural norms within the allied health professions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Séna (1905) de Fernand Hibbert (1873–1928) est l'un des grands classiques de la littérature haïtienne du début du vingtième siècle. Satire mordante de l'élite du pays, cette œuvre appartient au courant dénommé « roman national », d'obédience réaliste. Maintes fois étudié sous l'angle de la critique sociale et politique, le roman d'Hibbert a été très peu interrogé dans et pour sa textualité même. Notre étude entreprendra une réévaluation de ce chef-d'œuvre haïtien en examinant ce que Lawrence Schehr appelle des points d'irreprésentabilité, c'est-à-dire des moments de dérapage de la vraisemblance réaliste. Nous verrons que ceux-ci surgissent tout spécialement pendant le voyage du protagoniste en France, dans le mi-lieu de l'océan, espace tiers où se livre une négociation entre le particulier et l'universel. Il s'agira de montrer que l'écriture hibbertienne constitue un apport original au réalisme en tant que phénomène littéraire transnational, justement parce qu'elle met les présupposés réalistes à l'épreuve de l'expérience haïtienne.

The article focuses on the storytelling of human dramas through the digital comic reportage. It study how the notion of the romantic, as a counterpoint to the storytelling to all contemporary winds often considered with great suspicion, allows a more detailed understanding of the performativity of these particular works, a new form of journalism.

Narrative recording in case records and individual plans within social services represents the means by which stories can be constructed with and about the people with whom services work, influencing relationship building and outcomes. Identities and decision-making are forged in records, shaping people's lives. Yet, limited attention is paid to narrative recording in research and practice. Indeed, recording, which increasingly veers towards 'box-ticking', is viewed by practitioners as a bureaucratic burden, limiting time for the 'real job' of face-to-face work. Drawing on Ricoeur's narrative hermeneutics in exploring qualitative data from a carer support organisation, we identify the potential contribution of narrative recording. Carers often seek support when their sense of identity and quality of life is diminished by their unpaid caring role. We explore practitioners' views about the role of the narrative record in holding memories, feeding into recognition of capable agency, clarifying possibilities for action, restoration of identity and wellbeing. Applying a Ricoeurian lens demonstrates how attaining these benefits require recording practice which supports recognition through relational practice, in pursuit of better outcomes for carers. Carer benefits could be enhanced by carers holding a copy of and being able to reflect on and further contribute to their own plan. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

La figure, dans la sémiotique greimassienne, héritant d'une élaboration polysémique chez Hjelmslev, appartient tant au plan de l'expression qu'au plan du contenu. Sur le plan du contenu, elle s'introduit au niveau discursif et renvoie à un thème, qu'elle concrétise. Par ailleurs, dans Sémantique Structurale, les traces d'information que nos cinq sens nous apportent sont aussi appelées figures, et c'est par leur intermédiaire que le monde naturel joue un rôle dans la naissance du sens. Ces figures engendrées par la perception sont des figures d'expression et appartiennent de ce fait au plan de l'expression. L'unification des deux types de figures en une figurativité générique, située au niveau discursif et subdivisée en figurativité stricto sensu, dite de surface, et figurativité lato sensu, dite profonde (Landowski. 2017. Com Greimas : interações semióticas. São Paulo : Editora CPS e Estação das Letras e Cores) est discutée avec l'apport d'auteurs de la sémiotique française et la structure quadratique du signe due au Groupe µ (2015. Principia semiotica : aux sources du sens. Bruxelles : Les Impressions Nouvelles : 283–292). Cette discussion nous suggère la figurativité comme transversale au parcours génératif du sens et contribuant à l'opération de conversion, dans la mesure où des traces du monde naturel refont surface sous la forme de figures du monde, sur le plan du contenu discursif. The figure in Greimassian semiotics, drawing on Hjelmlsev's polysemic elaboration, relates to both the plane of content and the plane of expression. On the former, it is realized at the discursive level, and refers to a theme that it concretizes. On the latter, the traces of information relayed to us by our five senses are also called figures. Generated by perception, these are figures of expression. It is through their mediation that the natural world plays a role in the birth of meaning. The unification of the two types of figure into a generic "figurativity," situated at the discursive level and subdivided into figurativity in the strict sense, or so-called surface-level figurativity, and figurativity in the broad sense, or deep-level figurativity (Landowski. 2017. Com Greimas : interações semióticas. São Paulo : Editora CPS e Estação das Letras e Cores) is discussed in the contributions of the authors of French semiotics and the quadratic structure of the sign, pertaining to Groupe µ (2015. Principia semiotica : aux sources du sens. Bruxelles : Les Impressions Nouvelles : 283–292). This discussion suggests to us a figurativity that is transversal to the generative path of meaning, contributing to the operation of conversion insofar as traces of the natural world resurface in the form of world figures on the discursive plane of content.
