Abstract:
This thesis tries to examine aspects and characteristics of writings called 「Seohanmunganghwaryakcho (Rhetorical Writing)」 in 『Shincheminun Contemporary Writings Letter Writing Style』 from a viewpoint of sentence introduction essays. 「Seohanmunganghwaryakcho」 is a syntax text which includes basic composition methods, the composition theory, writing’s social roles and significance. This writing regards 『Shincheminun Contemporary Writings Letter Writing Style』 as playing an important role as the book with sentence introduction as well as the simple letter textbook. And the thesis tries to examine 「Seohanmunganghwaryakcho」 as the text which was influenced by Jeong, Inbo’s sentence theory by analyzing his preface in 『Shincheminun Contemporary Writings Letter Writing Style』 in detail. For this, the preface by Jeong, Inbo was first examined. The preface shows the sentence theory and letter theory’s directionality pursued by 「Seohanmunganghwaryakcho」 like a completed example. Chapter 1 of 10 chapters of 「Seohanmunganghwaryakcho」 is the general introduction like an independent essay about the origin of languages, letters, and writings. Chapter 2 to 4 describe the characteristics of the composition methods to present concrete writing techniques, Chapter 5 to 6 explain the characteristics of the concrete sentence theory, and Chapter 7 to 10 focus on writings’ styles. Like this, it treats the letter theory in earnest. This 「Seohanmunganghwaryakcho」 is writing to make readers read Widang Joeng, Inbo’s efforts to establish the systematic composition theory and letter theory as the sentence theory made under his academic and cultural influence. Furthermore, it can be thought this text plays an important role in making the characteristics of 『Shincheminun Contemporary Writings Letter Writing Style』 which is the contemporary letter textbook the sentence introduction with the characteristics of strengthening sentences in earnest, not staying at the level of the simple teaching material for letters.

Abstract:
In order to better understand the research and analysis of Nathaniel Hawthorne’s landscape writing and ecological environment problems, his paper discusses the description of environmental landscape in Hawthorne’s writings. This paper analyzes the “social-ecological” environment during the antebellum era through Hawthorne’s literary writings. Comparing Hawthorne’s writings of the landscape within statistics and diagrams, this study argues that the romantic descriptions of natural settings and characters in Hawthorne’s writings reflect the social and ecological environment of antebellum era. Therefore, reads can accurately understand Nathaniel Hawthorne’s living context and the ecological environment problems. This study also argues that Hawthorne’s writings of landscape reflect much more the ecological and environmental problems in his era comparing with other antebellum writers. Understanding Hawthorne’s writing of the environment will also provide a guidance for the contemporary society.

Abstract:
The work examines the development of contemporary Scottish and Irish women’s writing and explores what unites contemporary Scottish and Irish woman writing with other types of narrative and what makes it special. The theoretical basis and methodology for the study is the attention to the vector of women’s prose development, including postcolonial literature and contemporary feminist critical theories. Postmodernist and meta-modernist theories (including the rhizome concept and “oscillation” principle) are also considered. Contemporary Scottish women’s writing (the example of Carol Ann Duffy) provides insights into the development of the Scottish woman writer image; works by Jenny Fagan allow to trace controlling practices of contemporary society. Kate Clanchy’s writing reveals the interconnection between cultures incorporated into the social problem of migration. Contemporary Irish women’s prose is characterized by addressing the issue of religion and Catholicism as well as the concept of home, which is well revealed in the writings of most authors who are rebelling against the tradition and, at the same time, associate themselves with it.

Abstract:
Travel writings’ long literary tradition in the West had often been viewed as a colonial discourse and had prepared a colony of readership, particularly the narratives during the 19th century (Spurr,1993). However, travel writing is relatively new in the Philippines, and a lot of Filipino women are experimenting with writing in the genre. As such, this study examined the types of contemporary travel writings written by Filipino women using Fussell’s categorization (1982) for travel writings according to the writer's intent of travel: explorer, tourist, and travel. Some of the selected texts fit the said categories, while others combined the mentioned classifications. In this study, the explorer category was also expanded to cover traveler's subjective experiences to accommodate some texts that exemplify this type of narrative. Moreover, the study utilized grounded theorizing (Glaser Strauss, 1967; Strauss Corbin, 1990) to classify other travel texts that did not fall into Fussell’s typologies, which resulted in four new categories, namely 1) backpacker; 2) escape/convalescent; 3) pilgrim; and 4) labor worker. The intent of travel adheres to global categorizations but, at the same time, reflects the fast-changing contemporary narratives accommodated into the travel writing genre which attest to how they write down their impressions and introspections on their travel experiences.

Abstract:
The study is premised upon the enormity and relevance of African myths and legends as congenial substance for the continuity of African culture and writing tradition. Existing literary engagements have focused on the usage of myths and legends in African literature, their consistent usage in fictional writings is aesthetically commendable, however, the modern days African writers appear to be delusive in this literary endeavor. This is the lacuna this paper seeks to fill by advocating for the reinventing and entrenching of mythical and legendary characters in contemporary and future African writings. The paper investigates the extent of import, inculcation and exploration of myths and legends in some extant African writings, it pontificates their literary aestheticism, cultural beautification and prognostic values in African society. Significantly, the paper elucidates the pedagogical didactics that are intrinsically inherent in the myths and legends in spite of the seemingly archaic existence attributed to them. African writers that have creatively used mythical and legendary sources are highly commended and appreciated and passionate appeals have been made through this paper to the contemporary and future African writers to effectuate the representation and entrenchment of the continental cultural myths and legends in subsequent creative writing for the purpose of cultural integration and propagation, rejuvenation of cultural material and dispersal of moral values.

Abstract:
The work published between 1991-2000 and presented here forms a continuing meditation on, and exploration of contemporary performance. The term 'contemporary performance' is used to refer to practices and discourses in the performance arts that have occurred over the last decade. There Is a particular emphasis on those unstable, hybrid and interdisciplinary areas of performance (including performance art, installation, 'new' dance, 'experimental' theatre, 'live' art) which resist easy definition or categorisation, and which may be further characterised as postmodern in the sense of a reflexive, contextualised and knowingly problematic practice. More specifically the work builds a sustained thesis on contemporary practice and addresses in a number ways some of the central Issues surrounding the placing and practice of performance. It focuses on relationships between performance, textuality, the body, and spatiality; as well as on Issues of context, framing and the place of performance in contemporary culture. The work engages with a number key terms applied to contemporary performance Including ephemerality, displacement, equivalence and ecology, which contribute to the central thesis that contemporary performance Is an unsettled yet always contextualised practice which resists fixities and holds itself between a condition of fragmentation and integration. Contemporary performance is considered from a number of points of view: " as performance: where the events and relationships which constitute performance can be documented and mapped; " as contextuaiised practice: where the conditions that enable or disable performance can be identified; " as process : where the dynamics and media of performance can be situated; " as site : where the frames, surfaces and boundaries of performance can be examined; 7 Acts of Writing - Ric Allsopp (July zooo) Abstract " as ecology: where the Internal and external Interdependencies of performance can be Identified; " as a problematic: where the terms and assumptions that constitute a reading of performance can be Identified and analysed. Two key ideas inform the thesis that emerges from the work: firstly the recognition of an ethical stance towards performance; and secondly the search for a methodology which can disclose the dynamics of performance. The'acts of writing' are seen as an active as well as reflective methodology - an engagement with the event of performance understood as a located, contextualised practice. The published work presented here sets out some of the underlying conditions and methodologies from which my work in the field of contemporary performance proceeds. As a thesis It provides sustained evidence of a 'multiple practice' - that is a set of practices and engagements in the field of research that explore what might be termed the 'ecology' of contemporary performance from various positions. This multiple practice Is a way of locating the work and of attempting to realise an ethical stance towards performance. The recognition that the conditions of contemporary performance depend on an Interdependency of contexts and that performance situates Itself as an unstable catalyst that oscillates between these contexts has enabled me to locate my research into contemporary performance In the variety of ways evidenced by the published output collected here.

A dissertação propõe explorar a fertilidade do pensamento perspectivista para refletir sobre modos de experimentação e produção de escritas contemporâneas e, num sentido mais amplo, arte. Para tanto, o presente estudo concentra-se em procedimentos que ocorrem nestas manifestações os quais podemos chamar de exercícios perspectivistas – experimentos artísticos que mobilizam temas caros ao perspectivismo de todos os matizes, na atenção que estes costumam dar a devires entre natureza e cultura, humano e não humano, sujeito e objeto, matéria e sentido e tantos outros. A reflexão proposta concentra-se na obra de Nuno Ramos – escritor e artista visual. Aqui, seus trabalhos são abordados como escritas contemporâneas do quase. A noção de quasidade é uma categoria perspectivista crucial para o pensamento filosófico da multiplicidade e dos devires (em especial, Nietzsche e Deleuze). Tais filosofias informam, em larga medida, a antropologia de Eduardo Viveiros de Castro em suas reflexões sobre a vida e o pensamento dos povos ameríndios, reflexões que esta pesquisa busca também incorporar. A partir do território descrito e por meio de uma prática ensaística, tomam-se como ocasiões especialmente favoráveis para a investigação um livro (Junco) e uma instalação (Monólogo para um cachorro morto). Tais fazeres artísticos mostram que escritas do quase são persistentemente buscadas por meio das relações entre linguagem, arte, corpo, pensamento e ação. Tais procedimentos são estudados como processos que potencializam pontos de vista, multiplicidades e devires. A dissertação é composta de capítulos autônomos, porém complementares, e permite diferentes percursos de leitura.
This dissertation sets out to explore the fruitfulness of perspectivism in reflecting about ways of experimentation and production in the expanded field of literature and art today. In order to do so, it focuses on some procedures that, recurring in these contemporary manifestations, might be called perspectivist exercises – artistic experiments that mobilize themes so dear to perspectivisms of all hues, in their attention to becomings between nature and culture, human and not human, subject and object, matter and sense, and many others. The study concentrates on the works of writer and visual artist Nuno Ramos, addressed here as instances of contemporary writings of quasi. The notion of quasi-ness is a crucial perspectival category to the philosophical thought of multiplicity and becomings (Nietzsche and Deleuze). Such philosophies largely inform Eduardo Viveiros de Castro s anthropology as found in his works on Amerindian people s lives and minds, a body of reflections that this study also seeks to incorporate. From the described territory and through an essayistic practice, this dissertation takes the installation Monólogo para um cachorro morto and the book Junco as specially favorable occasions for reflection. Such artistic doings show that a writing of quasi is persistently sought by the exploration of relations between language, art, body, thought and action. These procedures are studied as processes that potentiate perspectives, multiplicities and becomings. The autonomous, though complementary chapters, of the dissertation allow for multiple directions and sequences of reading.

Abstract:
This thesis, a collection of previously published materials, reflects a plural and evolving engagement with theatre and performance over the past fifteen years or so: as researcher, writer, editor, teacher, practitioner, spectator. These have rarely been discreet categories for me, but rather different modalities of exploration and enquiry, interrelated spaces encouraging dynamic connectivities, flows and further questions. Section 1 offers critical accounts of the practices of four contemporary theatre directors: Jerzy Grotowski, Robert Wilson, Peter Brook and Ariane Mnouchkine. Section 2 draws on elements of contemporary philosophy and critical thinking to explore the mutable parameters of performance. lt proposes performative mappings of certain unpredictable, energetic events 'in proximity of performance', to borrow Matthew Goulish's phrase: contact, fire, animals, alterity, place. Section 3 contains examples of documentation of performance practices, including a thick description of a mise en scene of a major international theatre production, reflections on process, training and dramaturgy, a performance text with a framing dramaturgical statement, and personal perspectives on particular collaborations. The external Appendix comprises a recently published collection of edited and translated materials concerning five core collaborative projects realised by Ariane Mnouchkine and the Theatre du Soleil at their base in the Cartoucherie de Vincennes, Paris. The core concerns of this thesis include attempts to think through: • the working regimes, poetics and pedagogies of certain directors, usually in collaborative devising contexts within which the creative agency of performers is privileged; • the processes and micro-politics of collaboration, devising, and dramaturgical composition; the dramaturgical implications of trainings, narrative structures, spaces, mise en scene, and of images as multi-layered, dynamic 'fields'; • the predicament and agency of spectators in diverse performance contexts, and the ways in which spectatorial roles are posited or constructed by dramaturgies; • the imbrication of embodiment, movement and perception in performance, and the plurality of modes of perception; • the critical and political functions of theatre and theatre criticism as cultural/social practice and 'art of memory' (de Certeau), of dramaturgies as critical historiographies, and of theatre cultures (and identities) as plural, dynamic, and contested; • performance as concentrated space for inter-subjectivity and the flaring into appearance of the 'face-to-face' (Levinas); the possibility of ethical, 'response-able' encounter and exchange with another; identity as relational and in-process, alterity as productive event, the inter-personal as political; • the poetics and politics of what seems an unthinkable surplus (and constitutive 'outside') to the cognitive reach of many conventional frames and maps in theatre criticism and historiography; an exploration of acts of writing as performative propositions and provocations ('critical fictions') to think the event of meanings at/of the limits of knowledge and subjectivity. This partial listing of recurrent and evolving concerns within the thesis traces a trajectory in my evolution as a writer and thinker, a gradual displacement from the relatively 'solid ground' of theatre studies and theatre history towards more fluid and tentative articulations of the shifting 'lie of the land' in contemporary performance and philosophy. This trajectory reflects a growing fascination with present process, conditions, practices, perceptions 'in the middle', and ways of writing (about) performance as interactive and ephemeral event.

Full text
Abstract:
Abstract: Carol Gilligan proposed the concept of an ‘ethics of care’ in her book, In a Different Voice: Psychological Theory and Women’s Development, published in 1982. Her argument was written in agonistic response to a revival of neo-Kantian ethical theorising in the seventies philosophical arguments that granted women a distinctly subordinate place to men as fully fledged ethical beings. In opposition to these theories-- particularly those of Lawrence Kohlberg-- which considered women to be too involved in personal relationships to be able to achieve the requisite levels of detachment to morally gauge ethically demanding situations, Gilligan argued for an ethical code that privileges relationships of involvement and care over abstract principles of a categorical imperative type. She argued that women who felt the need to prioritise such relationships are not deficient in their ethical sensibility but function according to a different but most certainly fully viable value system. Gilligan’s thesis came under fire from later feminists and ethical theorists as the concept of difference took a new turn in feminist theory-- especially post-structuralist-inflected theory of the later eighties and nineties. It is my contention in this thesis that her ideas are still crucially important. And as ethical theory comes to recognise the important role of affect in moral and ethical judgement, her ideas can be revisited in relation to contemporary preoccupation with these issues about knowing and judging. Although revolutionary in its proposition that different people may have different ways of responding to ethically significant situations, Gilligan’s theory of care does not question the traditionally imposed binary between man and women as being rational and emotional respectively. My argument, substantiated by my analysis of current fiction by women (and two men), centres around the proposition, that although these responses do not necessarily and directly correspond with either sex, the responses themselves have a lot of merit. It is revealed in my examination of contemporary novels from different parts of the world that rational/emotional responses relate, instead, to the particular situation of individuals-- advantaged/disadvantaged-- in different social and political structures. I have termed these responses masculine and feminine in my thesis, but have attempted to define masculinity and femininity as related to these socio-political situations, instead of being biologically determined. The definition of femininity in my thesis encompasses particular kinds of responses to various ideas such as cosmopolitan interactions between cultures and even beauty and shame. The novels that I look at in my thesis are: Kiran Desai’s The Inheritance of Loss, Toni Morrison’s Paradise, Zadie Smith’s On Beauty, Latife Tekin’s Dear Shameless Death, Salman Rushdie’s Shame, Kazuo Ishiguro’s Never Let Me Go, Kamila Shamsie’s Burnt Shadows, Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie’s Half of a Yellow Sun and Doris Lessing’s The Fifth Child and Ben, in the World. My argument is that by coming to a more or less general understanding of what I am regarding as the variously inflected feminine/disadvantaged position, it is possible to arrive at a coherent ethical value system that is directed to the margins of various social and political structures.

Bibliography: p. 175-179.
It is argued in this thesis that much modem and contemporary moral philosophy has been subjectivist, and that this is largely due to the theory of knowledge that has accompanied the increasing dominance of modem science in the determination of our thought-patterns. The expansion of standards of rational enquiry beyond the confines of empiricism, in the way that B.Lonergan has done, is a necessary part of any adequate contemporary restatement of ethical naturalism. Two different approaches to the Aristotelian tradition in ethics are discussed: in the one judgments of value are based on a particular human psychology; in the other they are related to the standards of excellence associated with social roles. Two contemporary writers - P. Simpson and A. Macintyre respectively - are taken as representative of these approaches. Neither account, it is argued, is fully successful: the metaphysical psychology of Simpson fails to take into account variations in social and cultural contexts; while the communitarianism of Macintyre remains to some extent unjustified. The basis for a more adequate defence of ethical naturalism is given in Lonergan's account of the normative structure of human self-determination. Two further writers are used to develop this argument. H.Meynell argues that morality is largely a matter of promoting the happiness not just of oneself and one's group, but of people in general, and that this can be objectively specified. R. Johann contends that there is a further necessary condition for moral goodness, viz. the commitment to the realisation of personal community. This is justified, I argue by way of conclusion, because human persons are radically dependent on a certain kind of influence of other persons for the development of their capacity for self- determination.

Full text
Abstract:
The dualism subject/object has dominated literary imagination, especially throughout the twentieth century, not only in the Western world but also in the Asian continent. However, over the last twenty years, an ontological shift in focus can be observed in the narratives produced by Indian women authors, in which the material object world, from being merely the background, becomes the structural framework of the story. Through their special interest in the domestic, contemporary Indian women authors rehabilitate the small objects and invest them with metonymic power to such an extent that they become symbols of women’s lives. My research aims at demonstrating that an object-oriented close reading of contemporary narratives by Indian women writers offers new insights into Indian women’s condition, not only from the point of view of gender discrimination but also of identity formation, both in postcolonial India and in the diaspora. The theoretical framework I use is based on Bill Brown’s “Thing Theory,” a recent approach which puts subjects and objects in relational rather than oppositional terms. The corpus of writings I have selected includes Arundhati Roy’s novel The God of Small Things (1997), Anita Nair’s novel Ladies’ Coupé (2001), Jhumpa Lahiri’s short stories “Mrs. Sen’s” and “The Third and Final Continent” (1999), and Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni’s novel The Mistress of Spices (1997). The critical analyses of the texts demonstrate that gender is no less physical than an object. It can be materialized either through the externalization of thoughts and ideologies or through the internalization of the physical object world. Hence, the semiotic apparatus in contemporary Indian women writers’ fiction tells stories of objectification and marginalization and, consequently, constitutes significant reading matter.

Abstract:
The presentation aims to focus from an ecdotic perspective, and from unexplored hermeneutic angles, on potentially prominent features of the annotated editions in which are brought together those genologically varied literary-type writings that are correlated with the analogous artistic fields, such as the visual arts, architecture or music, starting from relevant concrete examples in the Italian cultural landscape. Furthermore, attention will be drawn to how to make an edition of a philological character, scientifically grounded, in which a literary transposition of the philosophical content takes place, invested in it as well in an interdisciplinary sense. In addition to texts outlining art and philosophy, the current paper explores those belonging to the sphere of the sciences, if they possess similar literary attributes because they present certain thematic connections or consistent stylistic constants. Simultaneously, the intent is to analyze the ways in which a component of literariness is infused into these texts, which is observed both in terms of content and form, that is, emerging from the predilected theme, or from their internal characteristics. Thus in the paper are approached utterly important theoretical and literary-critical questions from an interdisciplinary perspective, making it possible to arrive at innovative knowledge from the unfolding potential, developing such texts.

Abstract:
This study investigates the teachings of Saint Porphyrios the Kafsokalivite on how the appreciation of beauty in creation can lead believers closer to God. Despite his lack of formal theological training, Saint Porphyrios offered profound experiential insights into divine beauty manifest in nature, art, and music. He passionately argued that the beauty surrounding us is a reflection of divine grace, urging believers to perceive these manifestations as direct links to the Creator. Saint Porphyrios highlighted the spiritual dimensions of beauty, fostering gratitude and reverence for God�s gifts. This study employs a qualitative methodology, analyzing primary sources such as the writings and recorded teachings of Saint Porphyrios, alongside secondary sources including theological commentaries and contemporary scholarly interpretations. The study�s findings reveal that engaging with the world�s beauty cultivates a closer relationship with Christ and enriches spiritual life through continuous praise and glorification of God. By articulating the role of beauty in the spiritual journey, this paper emphasizes its importance in drawing the soul toward higher realms of divine reality. The contribution to the field lies in demonstrating that recognizing and valuing beauty in creation is both an act of worship and a method of theological reflection, leading to a deeper union with the divine. Therefore, in order to emphasize the subject of this study, in addition to the above-mentioned method, we have used both the analytical and the synthesis method, in accordance with the values of Orthodoxy in general.

Saritoprak, Zeki. "GÜLEN AND HIS GLOBAL CONTRIBUTION TO PEACE-BUILDING." In Muslim World in Transition: Contributions of the Gülen Movement. Leeds Metropolitan University Press, 2007. http://dx.doi.org/10.55207/hsrv7504.

Full text
Abstract:
Fethullah Gülen is one of the most influential scholars and thinkers in the contemporary Islamic world, particularly in Turkey. Although recent studies have put forward Gülen’s ideas on various topics, Gülen’s approach to peace building is one of the less studied. Given the contemporary reality of wars and ethnic/religious strife, this is a neglect that needs to be corrected. Fethullah Gülen stands up for peace and for the prevention of any clash of civilisa- tions, not only through his speeches and writing, but through his actions as well. This paper examines the concept of peace building through Gülen’s writings and activities with refer- ence to the main sources of Islam and Gülen’s commentary on them. In focusing on Gülen’s activities, the paper emphasises certain American institutions, notably the Washington D.C. based Rumi Forum for Interfaith Dialogue (of which Gülen is the honorary president), and its contribution to peace-building through interfaith activities.

Jin, Xin. "Making with the Past: Bricolages in Wang Shu’s Design Writings and Built Projects." In The 38th Annual Conference of the Society of Architectural Historians Australia and New Zealand. online: SAHANZ, 2022. http://dx.doi.org/10.55939/a4002phgul.

Full text
Abstract:
This study explores how design research writing can engage with historical reference in a radical way. In the 2002 essay “Shijian Tingzhi de Chengshi” (“City Froze in Time”), based on Chapter 2 of his 2000 PhD thesis, Xugou Chengshi (Fictionalising City), the Chinese architect Wang Shu proposes reinterpreting the traditional Chinese architecture and city through the anthropologist Claude Lévi-Strauss’s notion of “bricolage”, which is defined as making do with available objects. Bricolage is informative for understanding Wang’s design undertakings, which involve skilful adaptations of vernacular building types and construction techniques in new urban projects. Nevertheless, its fundamental role in shaping Wang’s design writings is yet to be fully understood. In his design writings, Wang employs a specific quotation method whereby words and paragraphs from other writers’ preexisting works are reused and woven into new textual compositions. Through formal analysis of “City Froze in Time” and comparisons of compositional patterns between the essay and Wang’s built projects, mainly the Xiangshan Campus of the China Academy of Art, Phase II, Hangzhou (2007) and the Ningbo History Museum, Ningbo (2008), this piece explores three issues. First, it demonstrates how textual fragments found in the past and uttered by others undergo bricolage in Wang’s essay. Second, it foregrounds the intention behind Wang’s chosen writing strategy and investigates broader critical issues, such as authorship and the past–present nonlinear order associated with Wang’s strategy. Third, it expresses how historical materials – understanding “materials” in an inclusive sense – are treated in comparable ways in Wang’s written and built works. By examining Wang’s case, this paper highlights a radical case of contemporary architectural research writing in which an attempt is made to demolish the boundary between theory and design by extending the make-do logic of design into the field of design reflection.

Full text
Abstract:
Using Corpora in foreign language teaching is on of the very efficient ways in proposing solutions for pedagogical issues, either through adopting a corpus-based teaching approach or through using the corpus in developing material. Developing academic writing competence is a challenging pedagogical issue for English teachers as well as learners. Second language learners come across considerable challenges as they are developing their academic writing competence. One of these challenges is the use of English collocations since that learning about collocations is of a crucial importance. Hence, due to the wide variety of collocations and their different types, one of the challenges that face both L2 learners of English as well as teachers is how to use English collocations successfully in academic writing due to the fact that collocational awareness and proficiency is a necessity for competent written discourse especially in academic writing. Therefore, academic writing proficiency is one of the major problematic areas that university students encounter. This paper focuses on how to direct students to a more effective use of Corpus of Contemporary American English (COCA) in order to foster their learning process of different English collocations, and use English collocations accurately in their academic writings. This paper illustrates search mechanisms and search strings that could be implemented effectively on COCA to get more representative and accurate collocation results.

Abstract:
The present article intends to produce new historiography about the nineteenth century Romanian women's writing from transnational and relational perspectives. It also takes as its starting point not only the production aspect of women's literary writing, but their reception-- especially by readers or other women writers or translators contemporary to the publication. This approach takes into account all the contributions to the literary field of both canonical and non-canonical women writers. A second approach refers to the fact that women's writing is viewed from an explicitly transnational perspective, underlining the connections between women writers across the world at the literary and translation levels. By using these methods, the students get familiar with social and cultural contexts in which women's writing was produced, promoted, and translated. As a member of the European project Women Writers in History I have taken part into training schools, workshops and conference where along with my colleagues from other 25 countries I have worked for the Women Writers database (www.womenwriters.nl) as an electronic means for teaching literature. The present database contains information on the production of women writers from the Middle Ages up to 1900, and on the reception of their writing in the world. Thus the database offers students the possibility to study these women's writing in their international context and make connections concerning their transnational historiography. The entries for authors refer to biographical details, professional situation, writing achievements (fictional and non-fictional writings), translations, national and international critical reception, allowing the students to analyze women's writing from a comparative perspective.

Abstract:
Countries with nuclear facilities are considering ways to safely store radioactiveleftovers from their nuclear activities over long timescales, including spentnuclear fuel. In Sweden, this work has come relatively far with the constructionphase now beginning for a deep geological repository for spent nuclear fuel at Forsmark. In parallel to the development of storage technologies, work is being carried out internationally to develop ways of communicating the long-term hazards of the radioactive remains to future generations. One such approach for communicating information about repositories and their content is called the Key Information File (KIF), a concept advanced through international expert groupsled by the Nuclear Energy Agency (NEA) within the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD).This is the concluding report about the work to write a Key Information File for the prospective Forsmark Spent Fuel Repository, in a project commissioned by the Swedish Nuclear Fuel and Waste Management Company (SKB) over theperiod 2021-2024. It outlines project activities, insights gained, and recommendations for further work. In the report, it is argued: (1) for the KIF tosuccessfully work as tool for information transfer to future generations means accepting it is a document aimed at the widest possible audience, and therefore must be presented in a manner open to various readers; (2) that there is a need for a mechanism that supports the continuous renewal of the KIF, and here the projectuniquely proposes the SHIRE method, which stands for Share-Imagine-Renew; and (3) that the KIF also has an important role to play in contemporary conversations around memory transfer concerning nuclear waste repositories. This is because the work to rewrite a given KIF will in itself form a social practice, which could keep complex and critical questions about the memory of underground repositories relevant through time.

Abstract:
The article clarifies of gender identity stereotypes in modern media. The main gender stereotypes covered in modern mass media are analyzed and refuted. The model of gender relations in the media is reflected mainly in the stereotypical images of men and woman. The features of the use of gender concepts in modern periodicals for women and men were determined. The most frequently used derivatives of these macroconcepts were identified and analyzed in detail. It has been found that publications for women and men are full of various gender concepts that are used in different contexts. Ingeneral, theanalysisofthe concept-maximums and concept-minimum gender and their characteristics is carried out in the context of gender stereotypes that have been forme dand function in the society, system atizing the a ctual presentations. The study of the gender concept is relevant because it reveals new trends and features of modern gender images. Taking into account the special features of gender-labeled periodicals in general and the practical absence of comprehensive scientific studies of the gender concept in particular, there is a need to supplement Ukrainian science with this topic. Gender psychology, which is served by methods of various sciences, primarily sociological, pedagogical, linguistic, psychological, socio-psychological. Let us pay attention to linguistic and psycholinguistic methods in gender studies. Linguistic methods complement intelligence research tasks, associated with speech, word and text. Psycholinguistic methods used in gender psychology (semantic differential, semantic integral, semantic analysis of words and texts), aimed at studying speech messages, specific mechanisms of origin and perception, functions of speech activity in society, studying the relationship between speech messages and gender properties participants in the communication, to analyze the linguistic development in connection with the general development of the individual. Nowhere in gender practice there is the whole arsenal of psychological methods that allow you to explore psychological peculiarities of a person like observation, experiments, questionnaires, interviews, testing, modeling, etc. The methods of psychological self-diagnostics include: the gender aspect of the own socio-psychological portrait, a gender biography as a variant of the biographical method, aimed at the reconstruction of individual social experience. In the process of writing a gender autobiography, a person can understand the characteristics of his gender identity, as well as ways and means of their formation. Socio-psychological methods of studying gender include the study of socially constructed women’s and men’s roles, relationships and identities, sexual characteristics, psychological characteristics, etc. The use of gender indicators and gender approaches as a means of socio-psychological and sociological analysis broadens the subject boundaries of these disciplines and makes them the subject of study within these disciplines. And also, in the article a combination of concrete-historical, structural-typological, system-functional methods is implemented. Descriptive and comparative methods, method of typology, modeling are used. Also used is a method of content analysis for the study of gender content of modern gender-stamped journals. It was he who allowed quantitatively to identify and explore the features of the gender concept in the pages of periodicals for women and men. A combination of historical, structural-typological, system-functional methods is also implemented in the article. Descriptive and comparative methods, method of typology, modeling are used. A method of content analysis for the study of gender content of modern gender-labeled journals is also used. It allowed to identify and explore the features of the gender concept quantitatively in the periodicals for women and men. The conceptual perception and interpretation of the gender concept «woman», which is highlighted in the modern gender-labeled press in Ukraine, requires the elaboration of the polyfunctionality of gender interpretations, the comprehension of the metaphorical perception of this image and its role and purpose in society. A gendered approach to researching the gender content of contemporary periodicals for women and men. Conceptual analysis of contemporary gender-stamped publications within the gender conceptual sphere allows to identify and correlate the meta-gender and gender concepts that appear in society.
