A narratological approach to content selection in audio description: towards a strategy for the description of narratological time

2012

As more and more countries start to provide audio description services for a growing range of products and events, research into this new discipline is growing and diversifying as well. Two questions that seem to be at the heart of much of this research focus on what should be described and how this should be done, in other words on content selection and formulation of the description. The present article looks at the first of these two questions and approaches it from a narratological point of view. After a general discussion of the use of narratology for audio description, the focus will shift to one particular constituent of narrative, namely time. The different temporal aspects will be …

The relationship between obsessions and the self: Feared and actual self-descriptions in a clinical obsessive-compulsive disorder sample.

2022

Cognitive models of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) posit the relevance of the self in OCD, although the nature of this association is still unclear. We aimed to explore actual and feared selves and its association with obsessions and intrusions in a group of OCD patients. A group of 58 patients with OCD identified their most upsetting obsession and intrusion (non-clinical obsession) experienced in the past three months. These cognitions were classified as either moral-based or autogenous (obsessions n=32; intrusions n=26) or non-moral-based or reactive, depending on their content. Next, patients described their actual self and their feared self, that is, the person they feared being or…

Disposition-Content Congruency in Adolescents’ Alcohol-Related Social Media (Self-) Effects: The Role of the Five-Factor Model

2019

Objective: Accumulating evidence indicates that social networking sites play an increasingly important role in young people’s drinking behavior. The present study adds to this research by assessing the conditionality of the relationships between exposure to and self-sharing of alcohol-related content on social media and adolescents’ drinking behavior. Specifically, the moderating role of the five-factor model of personality is determined. Method: A cross-sectional survey study was conducted among 866 mid-adolescents (Msubsample = 14.85 years, SD = 0.71, 57.5% girls). Polynomial regression analysis with response surface modeling was used to test the interactions. Results: Exposure, but not s…

Baco o San Juan Bautista: lectura de un cuadro de Leonardo da Vinci

2019

We make a reading of the painting Bacchus or St John the Baptist, based on a method that applies to it the classic myth of Dionysus-Bacchus. We divide its content into three parts: 1. Introduction (objective and method; the double name, Dionysus-Bacchus; narration of the myth in ΝόννοςΠανοπολίτης) 2.  Reading of the painting(hipothesis of the representation as St John the Baptist: some opinions; hipothesis of the representation as Bacchus: our opinion) 3. Conclusion (Leonard's Bacchus: an interpretation of Dionysus-Bacchus as neutralizer-God of the opposites. We make punctual comparisons with Jheronimus Bosch.

Ancient Theories of Intellection

2013

Ancient philosophical schools shared the view that, in addition to perceptual capacities, human beings have reason. It was also generally supposed that reason is not to be understood solely as a capacity of inference, but that it must also have content (1). Such content was often taken to be general: as opposed to perception which deals with particulars, reasoning operates with general or universal features of reality. However, views diverged as to how or whether such contents are acquired and whether they rather pre-exist in the soul. Whereas the view according to which intelligible forms can be grasped by human reason was wide-spread in the Platonic-Aristotelian tradition, Hellenistic phi…

Temporalization of the Body Within Phenomenology and the Metaphysics of Manifestation

2004

In this paper, I would like to discuss some problems concerning the question of manifestation of time, its Erscheinung, or its coming-to-be-experienced. Since Aristotle, philosophers have found themselves in paradoxical questioning about the nature of time. Indeed, a major obstacle found its clearest expression in Augustine’s famous dictum: “If you ask me what time is, then I do not know anything about it any more.” So, one would say with him that the whole task is to translate the experience of time into discourse, even if it has been set out as “simply” descriptive. Curiously enough, philosophers seem to have not been at ease with Aristotle’s rather straightforward decision to link time w…

A truth that’s told with bad intent

2014

In recent years, a lively debate has emerged about the question of correctly defining lying. Two strands of argumentation have evolved in the philosophy of language: First, the idea that lying is not necessarily connected to an intention of the speaker to deceive the hearer (e.g., Carson 2010); second, the idea that there is a fundamental distinction between lying and mere misleading (e.g., Saul 2012). This paper deals with both assumptions from the vantage point of the semantics-pragmatics interface and relates them to the question of how it is possible to lie while drawing on implicit content of an utterance. It is argued that lying necessarily involves an intention to deceive and that ma…

The process and content of advice giving in support of reflective practice in management consulting

2009

Although consulting has been defined as an ‘advice‐giving activity’ there has not been much research on advice practices in management consulting. In particular, there is a lack of evidence on how advice might assist in supporting another central issue in management work, namely reflective practice. This article approaches consulting from a discursive perspective and views reflective practice at the level of language use. The authors use data on naturally occurring talk during a single Organization Development (OD) consulting process and discursive methodology to examine these conversations, and offer empirical evidence on how advising can support reflective managerial practice. Examples of…

Pseudo heroínas: inclusión por exclusión de lo femenino

2019

espanolEl film de Ridley Scott G.I. Jane sobre la discriminacion de las mujeres en el ejercito y su derecho a ser incluidas presenta una solucion paradojal: la inclusion de las mujeres es aceptada solo si ellas eligen renunciar a su femineidad y devienen varones. La teoria freudiana en torno del ejercito y su conformacion como masa artificial puede ser articulada con el esquema de la sexuacion de Lacan del Seminario 20, para advertir que la formacion de masa se basa en una logica masculina que segrega a la mujer para poder creer en la existencia de un Uno de excepcion a la castracion: el Lider EnglishRidley Scott’s film G. I. Jane about women discrimination in the army and their right to be…
