Baltic International Academy (Riga, Latvia) in cooperation with the Institute of Ethnology and Folklore Studies with Ethnographic Museum of the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences (Sofia, Bulgaria), the Ural Federal University (Ekaterinburg, Russian Federation), the University of Oradea (Oradea, Romania) and the International Festival of Visual Anthropology Mediating Camera (Moscow, Russian Federation) organised an international scientific conference Social and Political Anthropology: Modern Scientific Approaches to Research (Riga, 18–19…

A Holonic Approach to Shakespeare: The Digital Reference System (DRS)

2012

Prefatory RemarksWhen hypertext was made available on the Internet after 1994 it shaped the concepts of public domain and free access. The web server and browsing system that Tim Berners-Lee and Robert Cailliau designed, determined the future digital, editorial and cultural developments for traditional audiences and digital natives alike. They quickly became the generalized interface tools and thus contributed to today's editorial standards. As they helped to create this innovative environment called the Internet, they also helped to establish many standards such as URL, URI, HTTP HTML or XML, which provided interoperability amongst different platforms and allowed internationalization.Shake…

Multimodal approach to foster the Multiliteracies pedagogy in the teaching of EFL through picturebooks: The Snow Lion

2020

espanolEnsenar lenguas en el siglo veintiuno implica prestar atencion a las demandas pedagogicas multimodales de un mundo digital global. Para alcanzar este objetivo, la ensenanza efectiva del ingles requiere una preparacion de los instructores para guiar de manera consciente el desarrollo de la literacidad de los alumnos e integrar las distintas maneras de construir significado que van mucho mas alla del mero uso de la lengua. Este articulo suscribe la nocion de literacidad como un concepto multidimensional y propone un conjunto de herramientas multimodales como medio para que los maestros de ingles como lengua extranjera (ILE) trabajen con elementos literarios y visuales clave. Centrandon…

Facework and Prosocial Teasing in a Synchronous Video Communication Exchange

2019

This study centres on the analysis of prosocial teasing during a videoconference (telecollaboration) exchange between mixed-gender adolescent secondary school students from Spain and Germany. We contend that the provocative elements present in prosocial teasing activate a play frame, in Gregory Bateson’s terms, in which seemingly hostile face acts can be interpreted as playful behaviour. We argue that successful teasing can ultimately enhance the face of the teaser and that of the person being teased and thus build up rapport between them. Our analysis of the facework in the interaction during this telecollaboration exchange is based on Erwin Goffman’s notions of face, demeanour and deferen…

Challenging the Victorian Nuclear Family Myth: The Incest Trope in Guillermo del Toro’s Crimson Peak

2020

espanolLa literatura (neo)victoriana ofrece conceptualizaciones contradictorias de la familia nuclear, ya que generalmente gira en torno a hogares tradicionales heteroparentales pero los presenta como fragmentados y profundamente disfuncionales. La pelicula Crimson Peak (2015) del director Guillermo del Toro se basa en tres motivos recurrentes en la ficcion gotica (neo) victoriana, los traumas domesticos, la familia disfuncional y lo sobrenatural. Mi objetivo principal es explorar como Del Toro utiliza la trama del incesto para subvertir las visiones preconcebidas e idealizadas sobre la familia victoriana. En primer lugar, analizo la casa ancestral y la figura materna como origen de los tra…

“This England”: Re-Visiting Shakespearean Landscapes and Mediascapes in John Akomfrah’s The Nine Muses (2010)

2017

The paper will offer a reading of John Akomfrah’s The Nine Muses (2010), a 90-minute experimental feature film that has been defined as “one of the most vital and original artistic responses to the subject of immigration that British cinema has ever produced” (Mitchell). It will focus on the multifarious ways in which the film makes the “canonical” literary material that it incorporates, including Shakespeare, interact with rarely seen archival material from the BBC regarding the experience of Caribbean and South Asian immigrants in 1950s and 1960s Britain. It will argue that through this interaction the familiarity of Western “canonical” literature re-presents itself as an uncanny landscap…

Deinococcus radiodurans' SRA-HNH domain containing protein Shp (Dr1533) is involved in faithful genome inheritance maintenance following DNA damage

2018

WOS:000452343100012; International audience; Background: Deinococcus radiodurans R1 (DR) survives conditions of extreme desiccation, irradiation and exposure to genotoxic chemicals, due to efficient DNA breaks repair, also through Mn2+ protection of DNA repair enzymes. Methods: Possible annotated domains of the DR1533 locus protein (Shp) were searched by bioinformatic analysis. The gene was cloned and expressed as fusion protein. Band-shift assays of Shp or the SRA and HNH domains were performed on oligonucleotides, genomic DNA from E. coif and DR. slip knock-out mutant was generated by homologous recombination with a kanamycin resistance cassette. Results: DR1533 contains an N-terminal SRA…
