No need to shout: Effect of signal loudness on sibling communication in barn owlsTyto alba
2017
In animal communication, signal loudness is often ignored and seldom measured. We used a playback experiment to examine the role of vocal loudness (i.e., sound pressure level) in sibling to sibling communication of nestling barn owls Tyto alba. In this species, siblings vocally negotiate among each other for priority access to parental food resources. Call rate and call duration play key roles in this vocal communication system, with the most vocal nestlings deterring their siblings from competing for access to the food item next delivered by parents. Here, we broadcast calls at different loudness levels and call rate to live nestlings. The loudness of playback calls did not affect owlets' …
Invisibilization and Silencing as an Ethical and Sociological Challenge
2017
AbstractExcluded and/or marginalized social groups frequently face problems involving representation in the public sphere. Moreover, the very notion of exclusion typically refers to communicatively or discursively produced mechanisms of being considered irrelevant in public processes of communication. Exclusion and marginalization, understood as processes of silencing or invisibilizing social groups, are particularly serious in cases involving social suffering, i.e. socially produced suffering and/or suffering that can be eliminated or alleviated socially. Making silence heard, giving voice to the silenced and bringing the invisibilized back into the public domain are therefore fundamental …
The digitized curriculum: voices and silences in the publishing field
2015
En este artículo se analiza la posición, de algunas de las editoriales presentes en la Comunidad Valenciana, sobre la migración hacia formatos digitales del libro de texto utilizado en centros educativos de niveles no universitarios. Con una metodología mixta se estudian tres dimensiones implicadas en el proceso: la estrategia tecnológica, la pedagógica y la comercial mediante una serie de entrevistas, encuestas, grupos de discusión y análisis de documentos. Entre los resultados alcanzados destaca la gran heterogeneidad de formatos, soportes y marcas; la necesidad de equipos pedagógicos de asesoramiento en las editoriales; la competencia de productos digitales del profesorado y el silencio …
Translation as alchemy: the aesthetics of multilingualism in film
2012
The aim of this paper is to explore the aesthetics of multilingualism in film. We start with a discussion of translation strategy in several films and continue with two case studies based on Azur et Asmar (2006) by Michel Ocelot, on the one hand, and Nostalghia (1983) and Offret (1986) by Andrei Tarkovsky, on the other. Our analysis does not involve a comparison between the original dialogues or monologues and their translations into one or several languages, but, rather, it focuses on the role of translation in film making, considering it independently from any pre-existing oral or written texts. This will lead us to a number of reflections about the possibility and the limits of communica…

Silence et langage du corps dans le cinéma de Pier Paolo Pasolini
2015
In Pasolini’s films, the dialogue may be removed from the narrative of the film or even reduced significantly. It is not uncommon to see sequences without dialogue, where meaning effects are attributed exclusively to visual impact. In Oedipus Rex (1967), Pasolini combines a vision closer to painting with the captions prevalent throughout the film. The captions reveal the absence of a voice and mimic the identity of a third person. The inscriptions, such as “Where are you going, my youth? Where, my life?” deceive the continuity of images, and produce the same effect of an intervention of the first person narrator in a written text. This technique epitomises two film eras: Modern and Silent C…
Alvis Hermanis: “To Be Everything and Nothing at All”
2021
This chapter is about the oeuvre of Alvis Hermanis, a Latvian stage and opera director and artistic leader of New Riga Theatre. It focuses on the road Hermanis took from the 1990s, as a young and rebellious postmodern director, into the second decade of the twenty-first century. In such productions as Long Life (2003), Inspector General (2006), The Sound of Silence (2007) and Brodsky/Barishnikov (2015), he approaches psychological theatre on a new, innovative level, exploring it as a kind of time machine in order to study people and history. In 2013, Hermanis entered the world of opera. In his productions including Alois Zimmerman’s Die Soldaten (2013), Leos Janacek’s Jenufa (2014) and so o…
El Doble de la palabra. El mito de Eco en la literatura inglesa contemporánea
2011
El objetivo de este artículo es el estudio de la figura de Eco en la literatura contemporánea escrita en lengua inglesa a partir de trabajos de A.S. Byatt, Timberlake Wertenbaker, Nicole Ward Jouve y Moniza Alvi entre otros.

Consideradas en conjunto, las obras revisadas en este artículo demuestran cómo la recepción del mito en la literatura contemporánea se encuentra estrechamente ligada a la evolución del concepto del doble en la cultura occidental. This article explore…

Waterloo in Vanity Fair or the Art of not Representing War
2007
International audience; The narrator of Vanity Fair warns his reader just as he is about to start his description of Waterloo, 'We do not claim to rank among the military novelists'. it is true that none of those involved will ever speak of it. The impression remains, however, that everything has been said about the event. A close reading of the chapters concerned with the events will reveal how the victory heralding British supremacy in the nineteenth century is in fact persistently undermined in the novel. Thackeray's contempt for anything military is well known and the writing strategies used here to attack the institution are as efficient as they are varied. The narrator intervenes dire…
