London Impressions d’Alice Meynell et William Hyde (1898) : fabrique du livre et connectivité
2021
At a time when print was being challenged by new media that dematerialized information flows, the illustrated book London Impressions reflected an ideal of connectivity. A folio published by Constable in 1898, it gathered essays by Alice Meynell and photogravures and etchings by the English artist William Hyde. This article explores the editorial strategy that provided a record of fin-de-siècle urban modernity and aimed to guarantee the sustainability of the book as medium of inscription and transmission in a changing market. It contextualizes the way Hyde’s images were manufactured and tackles the material and medial notion of connectivity from the perspective of ecocriticism and media arc…
Couleur et transparence à l’ère des procédés photomécaniques
2015
This paper aims to show that the reception of British coloured illustrated books in the early twentieth-century reflects the artistic and aesthetic repositioning induced by the development of photomechanical process. Photomechanical reproduction freed the graphic line as well as colour. Reviews published at the turn of the century—as exemplified by The Studio—reveal a tension between opacity and transparency, materiality and lightness, chromophilia and chromophobia. These oppositions apply to the art of the book—as in the books illustrated by Arthur Rackham and Edmund Dulac—as well as to interior decoration. They are subsumed in the image of the peacock’s ocellus, the eyespot that symbolise…
Hyvän lapsen ja kasvattamisen ideaalit – tutkimus aapisten ja lukukirjojen moraalisen kosmologian muutoksista itsenäisyyden aikana
2001
Tässä tutkimuksessa käsitellään suomenkielisten aapisten ja lukukirjojen sisältämien opetuskertomusten moraalisia ideaaleja ja niiden muutoksia itsenäisyyden aikana. Minkälaisen maailman ihanne kirjoissa luodaan ja mihin kiinnitetään ajatus, että jokin toiminta tai ajattelu on oikeaa, hyvää ja suotavaa, toinen väärää, pahaa ja torjuttavaa? Aineistona tutkimuksessa on käytetty 57 aapista ja lukukirjaa. Aineisto on analysoitu yhteisöllisen moraalin kosmologisia ominaisuuksia koskevien sosiologisten teorioiden ajatuksin. Mary Douglas käsittelee moraalista kosmologiaa symbolisina järjestyksinä, jotka sisältävät maailman ja ihmisen olemista koskevia, itsestään selvinä pidettyjä oletuksia. Keskei…
Petrarchisti del Regno di Sicilia: le Rime degli Accademici Accesi di Palermo
2023
Il contributo analizza i due volumi di rime pubblicati dall’Accademia degli Accesi di Palermo nel 1571 e nel 1573. A metà tra prospettiva regionale e dialogo con le esperienze del petrarchismo italiano, le Rime rappresentano un tentativo di rinnovare gli istituti letterari locali, facendo ricorso ai generi e alle forme in uso nella penisola. Le esigenze di sperimentazione stilistica si sommano a quelle di tipo celebrativo nel legittimare mediante la poesia il potere vicereale e inquisitoriale. This essay analyses two volumes of poetry published by the Accademia degli Accesi in Palermo in 1571 and 1573. Halfway between regionalism and a dialogue with Italian Petrarchism, the Rime represent a…
Understanding the Strategies and Practices of Facebook Microcelebrities for Engaging in Sociopolitical Discourses
2022
In this paper, we study popular microcelebrities from the Global South to understand their strategies and practices on Facebook. Unlike traditional celebrities who gain their reputation through different types of physical performance, these microcelebrities attain their status by presenting themselves in a favorable way to their online followers. We conducted interviews with 19 microcelebrities from Bangladesh and analyzed our data using actor-network theory (ANT) and Goffman’s dramaturgical analysis (DA) of human interaction. We discuss the complex socio-technical ecosystem of the microcelebrity and the roles of non-human actors, such as platforms and local internet infrastructure along wi…
The development of a multiliteracy-based approach in language learning: engaging students in aesthetic reading
2018
Actualmente se necesita un paradigma teórico dinámico, un enfoque ecléctico para reorientar las dos metodologías que prevalecen sobre la enseñanza L2, dadas las limitaciones de patentes de ambos métodos: el enfoque comunicativo y la lectura y análisis de textos. La literacidad es un indicador clave de nuestra capacidad para construir y comunicar signicados, así como para elaborar nuestros propios pensamientos. Mediante este trabajo aseguramos que la literacidad debe entenderse como un proceso pedagógico que va de la mano de la integración de la literatura en la enseñanza de un idioma, no como producto final. Para ello partimos de algunas propuestas que pretenden adaptar los modelos de lite…
Interpretation, Negotiation, Play
2022
Augmented reality (AR) picturebooks combine printed children's literature with augmented reality. This study examines the shared reading of the Finnish AR picturebook Mur, eli karhu (2016) by Kaisa Happonen and Anne Vasko. The main aim of the study is to explore the playful reading experience of three Finnish families with children between the ages of 4 and 6. Three main categories of engagement with the book are discussed in the article: interpretation, negotiation, and play. The findings of the study suggest that children are skilled users of mobile digital media but may not understand the content of AR without parental mediation. In addition, parents and educators are required to have su…
Google Books jako korpus językowy
2018
Artykuł poświęcony jest omówieniu Google Books, dostępnej przez Internet biblioteki wirtualnej, obejmującej skany 30 milionów książek. Jest to aktualnie najbogatsze na świecie źródło danych tekstowych w postaci cyfrowej. Zbiory Google Books można nazwać korpusem, ale zasadniczo różnią się one od tradycyjnych korpusów językowych. Kłopoty klasyfikacyjne wynikają z konkretnych ograniczeń, z jakimi trzeba się zmierzyć w trakcie badań. Między innymi część źródeł to wersje pełnotekstowe, a część – wersje z ograniczonym podglądem, dane bibliograficzne są nierzadko błędne, a jakość optycznego rozpoznawania tekstu, zwłaszcza w przypadku starszych tekstów, jest daleka od doskonałości. Referat omawia …
Tres artistas en el exilio: Max Aub, Félix Candela y Josep Renau
2020
Three artists in exile focuses on the historical diaspora provoked by the Spanish civil war (1936- 1939), and how it influenced three prominent figures of the cultural scene of that period: the writer and typographer Max Aub Mohrenwitz (Paris, 1903-Ciudad de Mexico, 1972); the architect Félix Candela Outeriño (Madrid, 1910-Raleigh, US, 1977); and the artist Josep Renau Berenguer (Valencia, 1907-Berlín, 1982). They are the three protagonists of this article, who were simultaneously living in Mexico during the exile and who made notable contributions in the fields of arts and humanities (Max Aub), architecture (Félix Candela), and graphic design and photomontage (Josep Renau). While they were…
