Instead of an Editorial: Mission Statements by Representatives of Both Fields

2012

The following mission statements by linguists and literary scholars working in different institutional and cultural contexts and at different stages of their careers are intended to map out the terrain covered by this journal. They tell similar stories about how these scholars came to cross the disciplinary boundary that too often divides their two fields, and they reveal a number of shared interests and emphases. But they also highlight the diversity of methodologies to which this journal is open – from metrics and stylistics to the cognitive sciences and Systemic Functional Grammar. The hopes and expectations voiced by the authors are partly pragmatic, expressing the wish that the journal…

Ethnographic Monitoring: Hymes's Unfinished Business in Educational Research

2011

This essay describes the process of Hymesian monitoring, a collaborative effort to understand voice in education, so crucial in Hymes's later work. A report of ethnographic monitoring in 1970s Philadelphia and a recent collaborative project in the Caribbean demonstrate how one can work from the voice of the pupil, through that of the analyst toward that of the teacher and back, checking what each party brought into the analysis and treating each of these voices as legitimate. [Hymes, ethnographic monitoring, Philadelphia, Barbados, ethnopoetics]

When Message, Editing and Publication Become Visible. On the Poetics of Digital Webwriting In his article, Niemi-Pynttari discusses the poetics of Digital webwriting. The focus of the article lies on the poetics of mediating and editing relations. Based on German hermeneutics and media philosophy, the article covers three different areas of research. The first objective is to reveal how the study of communication has so far overlooked the poetic level. Criticism is aimed, above all, at the way in which the field of hermeneutics has tended to ignore the emergence of the message (angelos) as a poetic-religious event. The second part of the article demonstrates how webwriting has taken on aspe…

Kone ja automaatti

Literary Machines and Automata: Feedbacking Poetics The article discusses the concepts of “machine”, “automatic”, and “feedback loop” as literary and poetic ideas from the terminological, historical, and contemporary perspectives. All of them can be seen as somewhat paradoxical terms, carrying human and organic connotations with them. The key phenomenon of this article is the generator, a machine or system that produces – generates – text. The history of poetic automata extends well beyond the Internet, computer, or even electricity. The article illustrates its claims with examples of poetry generators, from a combinatory poem of the Baroque era to a few Finnish contemporary digital works. …

Lucrècia Borja. L'alteració d’una identitat i l’errònia atribució de la pintura de Flora de Bartolomeo Veneto

2017

Resum: Aquest treball preten emfatitzar l’erronia identitat que ha arribat fins als nostres dies de Lucrecia Borja i l’equivocada atribucio que se n’ha fet d’alguns retrats. Com ara, la pintura de Flora (c.1520), pintada per Bartolomeo Veneto, que ha passat a la historia com una indissoluble identificacio de Lucrecia. Els estudis actuals han demostrat que representa un model ideal influit pel context literari probablement relacionat amb Pietro Bembo. Durant el Renaixement, els retrats representen molt mes que una identitat concreta i mimetica. Son suports de prestigi i transmissio ideologica, de virtuts morals, memoria, etc. En l’ambit artistic venecia de principis del segle XVI sorgeixen m…

Escriure poesia al convent entre la devoció i l'obediència. Primera aproximació a un manuscrit femení del segle XVIII

2013

Resum: El manuscrit que ens disposem a donar a conèixer és un tresor documental interessantíssim per abordar l’estudi dels usos poètics de les dones d’època moderna als territoris de parla catalana, no només pel nombre de composicions recuperades d’una mateixa autora (un total de 53 poesies espirituals, no catalogades i desconegudes fins ara) sinó perquè es tracta d’un dels pocs autògrafs femenins accessibles per a la recerca. La inexistència de treballs dedicats exclusivament a la poesia femenina d’època moderna al panorama català, ens obliga necessàriament a iniciar el treball amb una primera part introductòria dedicada a qu?estions relatives als usos poètics de les dones dels segles XVI-…

Comment Hollywood figure l’intériorité dans les films « hollywoodiens » de David Lynch, Lost Highway (1997), Mulholland Dr. (2001) et Inland Empire (…

2011

The article takes Zachary Baqué's study of Los Angeles in the films of David Lynch as a starting point to explore David Lynch's Hollywood movies. The author contends that the films offer more than a satirical representation of a corrupt, unhealthy system which threatens dreams and artistic creativity, or a parodic play on Hollywood genre and narrative conventions. Rather, Hollywood is a character, a presence, revealed as both horizontal and vertical, physical and abstract, evoking the city, the studio system, cinema and dreams, so that the satire, the visual motifs and clichés and the topography of Hollywood, and the references to Hollywood films, constitute a complex fabric of subjectivity…
