Sixty years of bilingualism affects the pronunciation of Latvian vowels
2006
For fifty years after World War II, Latvia was incorporated into the former Soviet Union. Although in theory the use of regional languages was not discouraged, in practice knowledge of Russian was obligatory. Since 1991, Latvian has again become the official language, and knowledge of Russian is widespread but optional. These political events have created a natural experiment in the effects of almost universal bilingualism on a language. To assess the impact on pronunciation, native speakers of Latvian, ranging from retirement age to teens, were recorded reading a word list and a short narrative. Vowel pronunciation differed across the generations both in quantity relationships and in forma…

La urbe moderna en la narrativa de Elena Fortún: espacio y significado
2021
Este trabajo presenta un análisis del espacio de la urbe moderna en la narrativa de Elena Fortún y su significado dentro de la producción literaria de la autora. Para ello, se detiene en los episodios de la saga de Celia que transcurren en el escenario de la capital madrileña y observa los vínculos entre los elementos de transformación y modernidad urbana con los personajes y sus actitudes, identificando el cosmopolitismo con la apertura de la mentalidad tradicional española hacia corrientes culturales renovadoras. This work presents an analysis of the space of the modern city in Elena Fortún’s narrative and its meaning within the author’s literary production. To do this, he stops at the ep…
Narratives of professional development in a teachers’ creative writing group
2021
This paper explores teachers’ experiences of professional development in a creative writing group. The data was collected in a teachers’ creative writing group and consist of semi-structured interviews and creative writing assignments. Reflexive thematic analysis and narrative analysis were applied to compose a nonfiction piece that describes the teachers’ experiences of a ‘year of creative writing’. Within the nonfiction piece, four themes were presented as findings of the study: social aspects, personal and emotional aspects, writer identity aspects, and pedagogical aspects. The results suggest that utilising creative writing methods in qualitative research can raise otherwise hidden voic…
Sukzessive und simultane Aufspaltung der Erzähl-instanz im Erzählwerk Margaret Atwoods
1994
Der vorliegende Artikel konzentriert sich auf wesentliche Aspekte der Erzahltechnik Margaret Atwoods, und zwar auf wiederholt von ihr besonders in ihrer fruhen und mittleren Schaffensphase eingesetzte Strukturformen der erzahlerischen Vermittlung, die ten-denziell von starker thematischer Aussagekraft sind. Es werden zum einen zwei auffallige Strukturformen, unter Besprechung der einschlagigen Atwood-Texte, vorgestellt: die sukzessive und die simultane Aufspaltung der Erzahlinstanz (meist in Ich- und Sie-Erzahlform) bei gleichbleibendem centre of consciousness, d.h. bei invarianter Fokalisierungsinstanz. Der Artikel erlautert uberdies, inwieweit Atwood diese Strukturierungsformen zur Dramat…
Approach to the interactive documentary as transmedia format
2019
Este trabajo caracteriza al documental interactivo como un formato audiovisual nativo transmedia. Esta forma de expresión narrativa particular a menudo aglutina y concentra los diferentes medios, formatos y plataformas a través de la metáfora y navegación interactivas. El documental interactivo cumpliría entonces una serie de requisitos para ser considerado como “formato nativo transmedia”, y esta hipótesis se demuestra a partir de la selección de un conjunto de proyectos representativos analizados a tal efecto. En primer lugar, se define y caracteriza el concepto de narrativa transmedia. A continuación, se realiza una aproximación al concepto de no ficción interactiva y transmedia, para fo…
Epistemologies of (Un)sustainability in Swedish Crime Series Jordskott
2017
ABSTRACTEnvironmental themes have invaded Nordic TV crime series over the past few years. In this paper, the epistemological starting points of a Swedish series, Jordskott, are examined. The paper argues that the series criticizes the traditional humanist paradigm on which realistic crime narratives are based. It does so through the introduction of fantastic non-human beings with the help of which the boundaries of ‘nature’ and ‘human being’ are set mobile. In the series, subjectivities are rendered volatile and the humanist epistemological paradigm is questioned as a sustainable ground for defining what counts as a subject. Theoretically, the paper draws on posthumanist theory and ecocriti…
‘You shall not wash my feet εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα’ (John 13.8): Time and Ethics in Peter’s Interactions with Jesus in the Johannine Narrative
2019
In search of ‘timeless’ norms or behavioral examples, the Gospel of John seems to offer few options. The principle of brotherly love exemplified in the act of foot washing is often considered as the only example of ethically significant material in the Johannine narrative. However, by taking a closer look at the ‘tempo’ of actions and the characters’ orientation in time, we can understand that Peter’s protest against the foot washing is not only in favor of norms that secure existing hierarchies, but is driven by temporal norms, i.e. his genuine fear of death. Peter’s protest (Jn 13.8) indicates his desire for the eternal life promised by Jesus (Jn 11.25-26) and at the same time it serves as…
A INVESTIGAÇÃO NARRATIVA EM EDUCAÇÃO FÍSICA E ESPORTE: QUE É E QUAL A SUA UTILIDADE
2011
Narrative inquiry is a burgeoning form of research in social sciences that has received little attention in physical education and sport sciences. In this article, we seek to balance this situation by offering an understanding of what narrative inquiry can be and can offer to our field. In order to gain some theoretical purchase on a difficult field, we first define narrative. Next, a distillation of guiding assumptions and characteristics are offered. Finally, some reasons as to why narratives may be of benefit for the field of physical education and sport. In conclusion, we consider narrative inquiry as a useful, although problematic, way of theorizing and doing research in the domains of…
Folktales and Other References in Toriyama's Dragon Ball
2014
The aim of this article is to show the relationship between Japanese folktales and Japanese anime as a genre, especially how the intertextuality with traditional tales and myth subvert its conventional use. To meet this goal, the author examines Toriyama’s successful Dragon Ball series, which has enjoyed continued popularity right from its first publication in the 1980s. The article analyses the parallelism between Dragon Ball and a classic Chinese novel, Journey to the West, its main source. However, there are many other references present in Dragon Ball that are connected to religion and folktales. The author illustrates this relationship with examples taken from the anime that correspond…
