Karen Knorr, le faux et les variations d'une fabuliste
2012
Dans sa serie de photographies, Fables (2003-2009), Karen Knorr place sa demarche sous le signe du faux et de la fiction, par un jeu de references culturelles et de dispositifs procedant de la mise en scene, du montage et de la narration. Dans des environnements museographiques ou des espaces patrimoniaux reputes et aisement identifiables, qui sont de somptueuses demeures d’Ancien Regime ou de froides architectures modernes, la photographe provoque l’irruption improbable d’un bestiaire sauvage suscitant l’amusement ou l’inquietude. Dans chacune de ses compositions jouant avec la veracite pretee a l’image photographique, Karen Knorr cree une confrontation entre culture et nature, dont l’arti…
Deconstructing Machos, Constructing People. Narratives of Alienation from Hegemonic Masculinity in Spain
2022
Resumen: Esta investigación analiza algunas de las alternativas que ciertos hombres encuentran como medio de desafío y resignificación del lugar ocupado hasta ahora por la idea hegemónica de masculinidad. Entre las dificultades de este proceso personal y social, a la vez externo e interno, resulta importante el conflicto con los hombres que se aferran a una idea monolítica de masculinidad. Alejarse del modelo tradicional comporta confrontaciones en múltiples sentidos. Con una metodología basada en algunas autobiografías, observamos cómo cinco hombres seleccionados por la diversidad de sus características reconstruyen sus historias vitales y llevan a cabo una reflexión crítica sobre sus cuer…
Baudelaire’s Influence on Duo Duo’s Poetry through Chen Jingrong, a Chinese Woman Poet Translating from French
2012
Abstract As a woman poet, Chen Jingrong’s productions encompassed the whole 20 th century: of particular interest are her poetry translations from the French language. Thanks to her translation work, valuable understanding of Charles Baudelaire’s poetry was made available in China, which influenced the Chinese contemporary poet, Duo Duo, when he first started writing poetry during his youth. This paper tries to depict the importance of this contribution of Chen Jingrong and its effect on the process of renovation of the contemporary poetic scene in China. Keywords: Chen Jingrong, Baudelaire, Duo Duo, contemporary Chinese poetry, translation Izvlecek Opus kitajske pesnice Chen Jingrong zaobj…
(De)constructing “America”: the Case of Emir Kusturica’s Arizona Dream (1993)
2010
By means of an analysis of Kusturica’s only film about America, Arizona Dream, this article argues that while the United States offers a vision of a united society founded on diversity, it also represses, altering in the process both society and the landscape. National unity is consequently a dream – a dream the film suggests that has often been dreamed up by un-Americans. Filtered through Kusturica’s own perceptions of America – and his position on the Balkan War (1991-2001) – the film seems to suggest sadness at the loss of a multi-ethnic, multi-cultural perspective. Through its representations of geography and ethnic diversity, and its dense network of filmic citations, what Arizona Drea…
« Les relations entre policiers et gendarmes à travers leurs représentations mutuelles sous la Troisième République (1875-1914) »
2003
International audience; L'histoire des relations entre policiers et gendarmes ne semble composée que d'épisodes tendant à faire de ces agents les acteurs irréconciliables de l'ordre. Ces récits construisent un antagonisme qui se nourrit, d'abord, de représentations mutuelles avant d'être une réalité de terrain. Si pour les policiers, les gendarmes ne sont que des militaires dénués de ce « flair » indispensable pour accomplir des missions de police judiciaire, les gendarmes, au contraire, voient les policiers comme les descendants honteux de Vidocq. Ces représentations, qui assument autant une fonction identitaire professionnelle que de positionnement institutionnel, ne sont pas figées et év…
Infertility-related stress, anxiety and ovarian stimulation: can couples be reassured about the effects of psychological factors on biological respon…
2016
Abstract The aim of this prospective, longitudinal study was to examine the association between couples' pre-treatment psychological characteristics (state anxiety and infertility-related stress levels of both partners) and ovarian response during assisted reproductive technology treatment in a well-controlled sample. A total of 217 heterosexual couples (434 patients), suffering from primary infertility and undergoing their first assisted reproductive technology treatment at the Reproductive Medicine Unit of ANDROS Day Surgery Clinic in Palermo (Italy), were recruited. Psychological variables were assessed using the State Scale of State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI-S) and the Fertility Pro…
Philosophy in Digital Culture: Images and the Aestheticization of the Public Intellectual’s Narratives
2020
The present paper deals with the problem of the digital-culture-public-philosophy as a possible response of those philosophers who see the need to face the challenges of the Internet and the visual culture that constitutes an important part of the Internet cultural space. It claims that this type of philosophy would have to, among many other things, modify and broaden philosophers’ traditional mode of communication. It would have to expand its textual, or mainly text-related, communication mode into the aesthetic and visual communication mode. More precisely, philosophers would have to learn how to aestheticize and visualize their ethical (epistemic, ontological, social) narratives by using…
Guardar como. La historia y las fuentes digitales
2011
Este artículo pretende analizar los cambios que vive la historia en el mundo digital. En particular, se centra sobre la digitalización de las fuentes. Por un lado, trata las implicaciones de la conversión digital de antiguos documentos escritos; por otro, se plantea el significado de aquellas otras que llamamos "nacidas digitales". El ensayo repasa algunas de las distintas actitudes de los historiadores ante esas modificaciones y señala que necesitamos atender a sus críticas, pero que también hay otros aspectos que debemos estudiar. En suma, defiende que la historia digital supone un reto sobre el que los historiadores han de reflexionar. This article analyzes the changes that the discipli…
Achievement Orientations, School Adjustment, and Well-being: A Longitudinal Study
2007
This study set out to identify the kinds of achievement orientations that adolescents show, and to examine the kinds of antecedents and consequences the use of a particular orientation has. The participants were 734 Swedish adolescents (335 boys and 399 girls) who filled in questionnaires measuring their achievement beliefs and behaviors, depressive symptoms, engagement with school, and norm-breaking behavior. By using clustering-by-cases analysis, five achievement orientation groups were identified: optimism, defensive-pessimism, self-handicapping, and learned helplessness, and a group showing average levels of criteria variables. The results showed further that a decrease in depressive sy…
