Abstract:
The popular narrative that the French relationship between the sexes is more emotionally rewarding than its American counterpart has entered into scholarly discourse over the past decades. Promoted by several well-known French feminist scholars, the narrative locates the particularity of the French relationship in its paradoxical structure: women are both equal and not equal to men. Sexual difference lies in the particular, which is subordinate to the universal value of equality. The narrative was most recently revived in the anti-#MeToo manifesto published in Le Monde in January 2018. This ar

Abstract:
Abstract During the 24 years of the Indonesian occupation of East Timor, to talk about its cultural individuality as a product of its history - focusing on what set it apart from Indonesia - was an act likely to raise suspicions of some kind of manipulation of history for political purposes. Naturally, the same suspicions could fall on anyone assuming an opposite view, that is a view that valued the connection uniting the two peoples and discarded what separated them. In this paper, we adhere more to the first perspective. Obviously, we are not driven by the desire to prove that East Timor had

AbstractSo far the cognitively-oriented study of literature has largely missed out on the cognitive conception of situatedness, which holds that human mental activity should be seen through the lens of its grounding in the physical, social and cultural milieu of the individual. Accordingly, the article shows the value of this approach in a Cognitive Linguistic analysis of Wisława Szymborska’s poem “Cat in an Empty Apartment”, setting out the ways in which situatedness underlies dynamic meaning construction in the production and reception of the work, giving rise to the singularity (Attridge 20

Abstract:
Roland Barthes’s work has confronted contemporary culture with the question of what happens when an object turns into language. This question allowed Barthes to “construct” well known cultural objects — from novels to music, from images to classical rhetoric, from love to theatre — in an unthought way, and to create new, even more unknown ones — from contemporary myth to fashion, from Japan to food culture. In this paper, Barthes’s cultural criticism is considered alongside with the issues raised by Cultural Studies. More specifically, Barthes’s constant reflection on the myth undoubtedly enti

AbstractThis article approaches the subject of theatrical language in mime, aiming to identify the mechanisms and resources of stage performance, referring itself to the silence/speech binomial. Can mime impose a valid theatrical language? Will a type of structuralism, through a reduction of complexities, manage to encompass the essence of the implications of stage acting within social structures? We will see the extent to which theater can trace a pattern of collective mime language socially and the extent to which such an approach will manage to encompass the interaction of the mind with an

In my dissertation, I explore social strategies that Peruvian subalterns have developed to survive against racism and discrimination. I have identified and coined one of these strategies as etnovaivén (ethno-sway), which I define as a pendulum-like approach that allows subalterns to swing/sway from blanqueamiento to cholificación, and vice versa. In this context, blanqueamiento (whitening) mainly refers to the subaltern's willingness and efforts to assimilate the white culture in order achieve upward social mobility, whereas cholificación depicts the reluctance of Indian and mestizo subalterns

Therefore, this study was undertaken to determine the potential for use of mirid sex pheromone trapping as an alternative, environmentally-acceptable method of managing the mirids. Based on the behavioural responses of the mirids to pheromones in traps, parameters were standardised for efficient performance of the traps. A range of five blen

The chapter offers a reading of Wordsworth’s “I wandered lonely as a Cloud.” It reviews standard readings of this canonical poem, all built upon a premise of dialectical subject formation. In lieu of that approach, the interpretation developed here emphasizes the emergence of singularity out of multiplicity. It is governed by a structure of thought developed by Spinoza and present-day commentators, and by reference to an early nineteenth-century theory of cloud formation. The discussion of singularity and multiplicity is rooted in number theory. Key resources for this reading are, in addition

In relation to this key point, it suggests that narratives can (2) contribute to personal and cultural self-understanding; (3) provide an ethical mode of understanding other lives and experiences “non-subsumptively” in their sing

This chapter argues that beauty of nature is the intrinsic quality of things and examines various types of natural beauty, including the beauty of landforms, the beauty of animals and creatures, the beauty of flowers, the beauty of trees and the natural in poetry. It also studies the hierarchy of natural beauty and finds that all objects, be it the universe, the solar system or the earth, are all of the same origin, and things evolve from a singularity and are in similar shapes rather than different shapes. It holds that the structure of natural beauty consists of three factors, namely the moving cause, the final cause, and the formal cause, and that these three factors (namely the structure of beauty) determine the function, the effect, as well as the characteristics of beauty. This chapter concludes that the utmost beauty is the natural beauty which emerges in the coordinated evolution of the universe, nature, and the human society. It is the origin of all artistic and design beauty.

The analysis of this novel explores some aspects of its aesthetic and cultural singularity, such as the fluctuating discourse between Myth and History, among others, in order to demonstrate its vibrant currency as a foundational text of Latin American culture.

There is no point in rushing because, in fact, people are going nowhere in particular. No matter how arduous the observation, in a slow and difficult sequence, people are always in the same place: in the countryside. There, people were yesterday and will be tomorrow. The landscape is a singularity with no limits: each tree, each granite boulder, each course presents infinite perspectives indistinguishable from each other. Sustainable landscape will be a mandatory topic in the twenty-first century and will influence the interventions in open spaces. These new paradigms will allow a healthier environment, where the relation of architecture and environmental comfort is present. In this sense, the chapter addresses aspects of the environment in its relationship with living culture; studies construction techniques with a lower environmental impact; and develops adaptative strategies of “sustainable project” for ordering and appropriation of habitable space according to the principles of cultural, economic, and environmental preservation.
