Just a foreword? Malinowski, Geertz and the anthropologist as native

2006

Read through semiotic analysis, the narrative intrigue of (the evenemential and cognitive dimension of) the anthropologist’s work reveals the epistemological configuration encasing some central and interrelated questions in anthropology: the communication-interaction between anthropologists and other inter-actants, their invention-application of some metalanguages and the subsequent intercultural translations of concepts and processes. To explore this configuration, I compare a foreword written by Malinowski and another one written by Geertz. In these forewords, they resort to refined stories to frame complex argumentations. In Malinowski’s foreword, two superposing stories are told: (1) a …

Visualization of Jacques Lacan’s Registers of the Psychoanalytic Field, and Discovery of Metaphor and of Metonymy. Analytical Case Study of Edgar All…

2017

International audience; We start with a description of Lacan’s work that we then take into our analytics methodology. In a first investigation, a Lacan-motivated template of the Poe story is fitted to the data. A segmentation of the storyline is used in order to map out the diachrony. Based on this, it will be shown how synchronous aspects, potentially related to Lacanian registers, can be sought. This demonstrates the effectiveness of an approach based on a model template of the storyline narrative. In a second and more comprehensive investigation, we develop an approach for revealing, that is, uncovering, Lacanian register relationships. Objectives of this work include the wide and genera…

Exploring the nature of the ‘subject’-preference: Evidence from the online comprehension of simple sentences in Mandarin Chinese

2009

In two visual ERP studies, we investigated whether Mandarin Chinese shows a subject-preference in spite of the controversial status of grammatical relations in this language. We compared ERP responses at the position of the verb and the second NP in object-verb-subject (OVS) and subject-verb-object (SVO) structures. While SVO is the basic word order in Chinese and OV with subject-drop is possible, OVS is strongly dispreferred. At the position of the verb, which disambiguated towards an object or a subject reading of NP1, Experiment 1 revealed an N400 for both subject-initial control conditions in comparison with the critical object-initial condition. Experiment 2 showed that this result was…

Σύμβολου: An Attempt toward the early Origins, Part 1

2013

International audience; This is the first of a two-part paper in which I would like to propose some possible hypotheses on the early origins of symbolic function, which is the most typical feature of human being, based on disavowal mechanism. Briefly recalling the main stages of the history of symbolism, it will be possible to lay out many of its theories within the framework that we wish to outline with this work, this first part of which is mainly concerned with the basic psychodynamic notion of disavowal and its possible applications, above all in regard to fetishism.

Literatura y cultura para una didáctica intercultural del español como lengua extranjera (ELE)

2016

This work evolves around a main purpose: to analyze the role of literature in the pedagogy of Spanish as a Foreign Language from an intercultural perspective. From this standpoint, we reflect about the importance of the term Spanish Literature to defend the different literatures implied in the syntagm; hence, we study how comparative literature becomes the main tool to understand linguistic, cultural and literary diversity. We consider that these two ideas should be in the pedagogical profile of the Spanish as a Foreign Language professor.

Towards a historiographical study of translation. A proposal for a historiography reader and its applications

2013

Tras el auge experimentado en los últimos años por las antologías que recogen el discurso de la traducción a lo largo del tiempo, parece llegado el momento de reflexionar sobre el tipo de investigación histórica que se está haciendo en nuestros días. En esta línea, defendemos en este artículo la necesidad de elaborar un manual de lecturas guiadas de historiografía de la traducción que proporcione algunas claves para entender la pluralidad y el dinamismo de nuestra disciplina. Dentro de la tradición del reader, la obra cumpliría una función eminentemente pedagógica e incluiría una muestra representativa y bien contextualizada de la investigación producida en el campo histórico de la traducci…

Agent defocusing in two-participant clauses in Finnish Sign Language

2019

This article investigates what strategies are used for defocusing the agent in two-participant clauses in FinSL. The question is approached by analyzing a set of data that consists of videotaped informational texts. Several strategies for agent defocusing were found. First, the agent can simply be omitted. Second, the agent can be expressed with a pronominal pointing sign used non-referentially. Pronominal pointing signs that can be used non-referentially include at least the non-first person plural pronominal pointing sign and the first person singular pointing sign, possibly also the first person plural pointing sign. This study also suggests that constructed action is an additional, opti…

Louise Doutreligne’s Signé Pombo: a French dramatic transposition of the Manuel Vázquez Montalbán’s "Autobiografía del general Franco"

2014

Signé Pombo, también titulada Dans la peau de Franco es una creación dramática francesa de Louise Doutreligne libremente inspirada, como consta en la cubierta de la edición de Moi, Franco, título con el que se ha traducido en francés la Autobiografía imaginaria del General Franco de Manuel Vázquez Montalbán. En este artículo se estudian las transformaciones creativas a que ha sido sometida el relato de Vázquez Montalbán, atendiendo principalmente a las modificaciones cuantitativas, la reordenación de la materia y el paso de la polifonía narrativa a una polifonía escénica, planteándose si la autora ha procedido a cambios pensando en una recepción lectora o teatral francesa. Signé Pombo¸ inti…

Σύμβολου: An attempt toward the early Origins: Part 2

2016

International audience; In continuation of what has been said in the first part of this two-part paper, herein we present further considerations on symbolism, reconsider some related psychodynamic case reports with some possible variants about their interpretations, and will apply what is said to some further speculations on mathematical symbolism and thought. In this second part, we continue with the numeration of the first part Σύμβολου, 1.
