El futur de la psicologia

2008

Ni que siga per consolidar i excel·lir els avanços aconseguits 'també en l'àmbit de la nostra ciència, la Psicologia', convé mirar al futur, tal com l'autor de la present col·laboració postula. I això amb perspectiva integradora i comunitària, recuperant l'harmonització de les ciències i de la vida mateixa, en forma de trilogia dels factors 'investigació, mediació computacional i tribut a la societat'. Afegeix l'autor l'exigència de gradients o nivells operatius d'intervenció i la contextualització europea i planetària en un món globalitzat que no té marxa enrere. S'aposta pel «capital humà» per assolir l'autèntic progrés i es defi neixen els trets bàsics del professional de la Psicologia, …

Ageing, Gender and Leadership: A Study Based on Tolkien’s The Lord of the Rings

2017

Based on current research on ageing in organizations, this chapter focuses on ageing, its gendered nature, and its relations to what is valued in organizational settings in terms of careers and leadership. Stories about ageing are present in mythology, archetypes, and the societal collective unconsciousness, often followed by heroism and charismatic figures. Myths of ageing are manifold but may also represent a “Grand Story” of ageing, present for everyone as an ideal without gender or other dimensions. Using Tolkien’s mythology and Peter Jackson’s guided film trilogy The Lord of the Rings, the gendered relations between ageing, leadership, and leadership charisma are explored and interpret…

Reading Kazuo Ishiguro’s “Bewilderment Trilogy” as Bildungsromane

2018

Abstract In this essay, Kazuo Ishiguro’s “Bewilderment Trilogy” is read as a series of Bildungsromane that test the limits of that genre. In these thematically unrelated novels, characters reach critical points in their lives when they are confronted with the ways in which their respective childhoods have shaped their grownup expectations and professional careers. In each, the protagonist has a successful career, whether as a musician (The Unconsoled), a detective (When We Were Orphans), or a carer (Never Let Me Go), but finds it difficult to overcome childhood trauma. Ishiguro’s treatment of childhood in these novels foregrounds the tension between individual subjectivity and the formal st…

Hybridity Maintained, Reduced, Abolished and Redefined: The Czech Graphic Novel Alois Nebel (Jaroslav Rudiš, Jaromír 99, 2006) in Polish and German

2016

This study is devoted to comparative analysis of hybridity in Jaroslav Rudis’s and Jaromir Svejdik’s Graphic Novel Alois Nebel – the trilogy in book-form, 2006 (2011) – and the Polish and German translations. The basic forms of hybridity are intermedial (picture and text) hybridity, linguistic hybridity (given by elements of German, Russian, English, Polish and Slovak together with Czech main text), graphic hybridity (between Latin and Cyrillic script, printed and hand-written characters), and hybridity of discourse (interpersonal communication, telling, personal reflection, non-fiction text etc.). While the Polish text – privileged by translation between two West Slavic languages – maintai…

Materiality and compositorial errors of a poetical incunabulum: the contribution of textual criticism

2019

L’anàlisi material dels testimonis d’una obra literària forma part de la fase de recensio en un procés de crítica textual, que ha d’anar més enllà de la mera descripció del continent. Cal atendre a la informació que donen aquestes característiques quant als continguts, quant al procés de transmissió dels textos, perquè aquestes dades tindran funcionalitat ecdòtica. Així, aquest treball estudia la materialitat i els errors d’un incunable poètic valencià, que és el primer d’una trilogía d’impresos dedicats a la Immaculada Concepció i patrocinats per Ferran Dies. The material analysis of the witnesses of a literary work is part of the phase of recension in a process of textual criticism, which…

Hav, hage, teater og temperatur i Cora Sandels <i>Alberte</i>-bøker

2010

Current readings of Cora Sandel’s Alberta-trilogy (1926-1939) frequently tend to reuse the novels’ imagery in their own descriptive and interpretive statements – instead of treating this characteristic of the novels with the same degree of attention as, e.g., the trilogy’s psychological and political aspects, or its narrative technique. The present article attempts to draw attention to the trilogy’s imagery as a both autonomous and integral element in Cora Sandel’s novelistic art. Three metaphorical ways of thought which show their presence throughout the trilogy, are singled out: In the novels, the persons (and thus, implicitly or explicitly, the human condition) are frequently pictured as…

Dystopian fiction in English: a corpus-driven analysis of esteem in Veronica Roth’s "Divergent" trilogy

2020

In light of the recent wave of popularity of dystopian fiction for young adults, and in particular of Veronica Roth’s trilogy Divergent, research has begun to focus on this subgenre. However, the focus tends to be on educational and gender approaches to the novels, while the psychological aspects of the characters have been largely ignored. My study focuses on the representation of esteem and self-esteem in the trilogy through an analysis based on annotation. The results shed light on the factors that affect the protagonist’s role and self-representation.
