I paesaggi digitali dell'immaginazione

2014

I paesaggi urbani che trovano significato nell’espressione di una sequenza immaginativa definiscono la loro forma attraverso la rappresentazione digitale. In queste dimensioni iperreali, si combinano l’immaginazione e la rappresentazione come elementi costituenti una nuova realtà, che segue le teorie utopistiche, suprematiste e costruttiviste, dove la dinamica bidimensionale si trasforma in uno spazio infinito in cui l’immaginazione costruisce nuove forme. Anche le interpretazioni del paesaggio urbano cinematografico, pongono in essere una corrispondenza tra realtà e virtualità, nella modellazione spaziale dei movimenti, da cui non scaturiscono contrari, ma solo interdipendenze. Si tratta d…

Symbolic Interactions : Towards a Cognitive Scientific Theory of Meaning in Human Technology Interaction

2015

Information technology has perpetuated the role of symbolism in everyday life practice, through its reliance on sign systems for its creation and operation. Increasingly attention has been placed on applying semiotic techniques to analyze user interface design and usability. Surprisingly, although the move towards symbolic interaction has been one of the most striking components of the digital shift, it has proven difficult to build bridges between semiotics and HTI-design thinking. In this article we argue that the problems in linking semiotic analysis of human technology interaction with modern HTI-design paradigms such as usability or user experience arise from a theoretical gap between …

Les débats devant la commission d'esclavage

2010

On March 4, 1848, thanks to the decisive impetus given by Victor Schoelcher, the principle of the abolition of slavery was proclaimed by decree and a « Commission for the preparation of an act of immediate emancipation in all the colonies of the Republic » was established. Like the commission de Broglie under the July Monarchy, the commission, chaired by Schoelcher, provided a huge work of documentation, information and reflection on the settlements, studying also the organization of the English colonies. However, unlike the previous one, the commission of 1848 required the immediate abolition of slavery (Decree of April 27, 1848), without waiting for the election of the National Assembly, …

“Who are the ladies?” : women’s representation and identity construction in the HBO series ‘Girls’

2015

This research paper examines the representations and identities constructed in the HBO television series 'Girls', which is considered one of the most groundbreaking television series of recent years due to its realistic and diverse female characters. In this paper, I analyse relevant examples from the first season of the series. The analysis is based on Critical Discourse Studies and various theories of gender and language. The main focus is not only on the linguistic construction of representations and identities, but also on multimodality. In addition to analysing how these linguistic and multimodal features affect representation, it is also considered how the series challenges today's no…

Origins and originality : Authenticity in the media representation of Julie Fowlis

2018

This article examines the ways in which Scottish Gaelic singer Julie Fowlis is constructed ‘authentic’ in the media. Two narratives that I call ‘narrative of origins’ and ‘narrative of professionalism’ construct her authenticity as a representative of the folk music scene. Fowlis represents the new Gaelic speaker, but is presented in terms of stereotypical imagery connected to Scotland, which portrays tradition as stagnant, quaint and in need of preservation. However, she is also presented as a professional artist, remaking and reinterpreting the tradition of a living culture that she represents. Thus, here authenticity ascribed on the artist is viewed as a cultural memory device, built on …

SPA centru tēls to tīmekļa vietnēs: žanra un multimodālā analīze

2018

Lai klients būtu ieinteresēts turpmākā saziņā ar uzņēmumu, ir svarīgi radīt neaizmirstamu pirmo iespaidu, kas ir viena no mājaslapas funkcijām. Šī pētījuma mērķis bija raksturot sešas SPA centru mājaslapas. Lai sasniegtu šī pētījuma mērķi, tika izvēlēta uz korpusu balstīta pieeja, kas ietvēra Beitmena (Bateman) (2008) izstrādāto žanra un multimodālo (GeM) modeli un Suena (Suen) (2009) piecu soļu modeli, kas tika izmantots mājaslapas izkārtojuma un retoriskās struktūras analīzei. Turklāt Kresa un van Lēuvena (Kress and van Leeuwen) (2006) sociālās semiotikas modelis tika izmantots, lai veiktu attēlu analīzi, kas noteiktu kā vizuālās reprezentācijas metafunkcija palīdz veidot SPA centra tēlu …

Strawberries and Cream: The Relationship Between Food Rejection and Thematic Knowledge of Food in Young Children

2021

Establishing healthy dietary habits in childhood is crucial in preventing long-term repercussions, as a lack of dietary variety in childhood leads to enduring impacts on both physical and cognitive health. Poor conceptual knowledge about food has recently been shown to be a driving factor of food rejection. The majority of studies that have investigated the development of food knowledge along with food rejection have mainly focused on one subtype of conceptual knowledge about food, namely taxonomic categories (e.g., vegetables or meat). However, taxonomic categorization is not the only way to understand the food domain. We also heavily rely on other conceptual structures, namely thematic as…

L2-L1 Translation Priming Effects in a Lexical Decision Task: Evidence From Low Proficient Korean-English Bilinguals

2018

One of the key issues in bilingual lexical representation is whether L1 processing is facilitated by L2 words. In this study, we conducted two experiments using the masked priming paradigm to examine how L2-L1 translation priming effects emerge when unbalanced, low proficiency, Korean-English bilinguals performed a lexical decision task. In Experiment 1, we used a 150 ms SOA (50 ms prime duration followed by a blank interval of 100 ms) and found a significant L2-L1 translation priming effect. In contrast, in Experiment 2, we used a 60 ms SOA (50 ms prime duration followed by a blank interval of 10 ms) and found a null effect of L2-L1 translation priming. This finding is the first demonstrat…

La Concepción de María en el tiempo. Recuperación de fórmulas tempranas de representación de la Inmaculada Concepción en la retórica visual del virre…

2014

This paper addresses a genuine aspect of conceptionist visual rhetoric during the Viceroyalty of New Spain: the recycling of Immaculate Conception earlier types of representation that, with the consolidation of the image of the Immaculate derived from the Tota Pulchra, had fallen deprecated in the peninsular art. The tendency of artists and patrons towards these typologies reveals a key aspect to understand the definition of Hispanic culture during the centuries of the Baroque. In the peripheral areas of the Empire, instead of continuous affirmation of the existence of a single Hispanic world, the springs of control over the religious image allowed variability in the implementation of the C…
