Abstract:

Members of the p120-catenin family associate with cadherins and regulate their stability at the plasma membrane. How p120-catenin limits cadherin endocytosis has long remained a mystery. In this issue, Nanes et al. (2012. J. Cell Biol. doi:10.1083/jcb.201205029) identify a conserved acidic motif within cadherins that acts as a physical platform for p120-catenin binding. However, in the absence of p120-catenin, the motif acts as an endocytic signal. These results provide new insight into p120-catenin’s role as guardian of intercellular junction dynamics.

Abstract:

Murakami is one of the masters of Magical literature. In his writing, the magical world appeared in a variety of colors. As a writer who follows Poe, Kafka, Marquez, etc., Murakami has both inherited and developed magicalism to a new level. The spirit world is an important fulcrum for him to exploit the magical and fanciful elements. He has a knack for turning both the unconscious with its hidden memories and also the guilt and regret from it into magical signs. Murakami's magicality weaves both mystery and comedy. Thereby, the writer illuminates the hidden corners of the soul that in a busy l

Abstract:

The paper examines Emilio De Marchi’s novel “The priest’s hat” (1888) as a precursor of detective fiction in Italy. Influenced by Dostoevsky and the French tradition (Gaborio) with its attention to characters’ psychology, De Marchi tells the story of “crime and punishment” that contains crucial elements of detective fiction. The plot revolves around the priest’s murder. The only evidence, his hat, determines how the detective story unfolds — it introduces the mystery, hints at the crime, and sparks the investigation. The case is officially led by the investigating judge. The story also contain

Abstract:

In classic mystery fiction, criminality is represented at the level of the individual, with a heavy emphasis placed on the moral culpability and guilt of the singular criminal. These retributivist representations are often burdened by a neglect of institutional and structural causes for criminal behaviour. By emphasising individual ‘evil’ and guilt, they have the potential to be read as whitewashing carcerality and systemic inequality. In Native American crime fiction, on the other hand, the individualisation of criminality has a very different value: laying bare the history of settler vigilan

Abstract:

Collisions between worlds of imaginations and realities often create scope for introspection – a process of revisiting the past, and reevaluating actions with the support of memories and reconstructing a new perspective on the role of Time in Life. This new perspective throws new light on life, which has already been lived so far. When any immature action or behaviour of the past is realised, pricking of the guilty conscience is the only consequential feeling. If Time provides the chance to console the guilt stricken heart, or make amends for the guilty action, the remedy is most often f

Abstract:

The paper analyses the role of music in Dickens’ last, unfinished novel and its relation to the criminal puzzle which — for obvious reason — was left unsolved. Contrary to the traditional cultural associations (harmony, beauty, order), music in The Mystery of Edwin Drood is related to darkness, which shrouds the places where it is performed (the cathedral, Jasper’s room); it also functions as the background of various disharmonies (physical indisposition, quarrel, signs of hatred, fear). The theme of the only two religious songs that are referred to is sin and wickedness. On the one hand, cons

The works of G. G. Byron and I. Goethe naturally retain their cultural and creative acuteness, illustrating the eternity of rhetorical questions with the multivariance of answer searches.

Abstract:

This paper analyzes Jorge Luis Borges’ short story “Hombre de la esquina rosada”. The story artfully obscures its main episode—the moment when the narrator kills Francisco Real—to achieve a surprise effect in the final paragraph, where the narrator subtly reveals that he is the killer. Throughout the story, crucial events unfold offstage (fuera de escena) and are revealed later. This paper investigates how the narrator employs offstage action and an unexpected final revelation as key narrative strategies. The narrator’s deliberate self-effacement and misdirection culminate in a final, indirect

Abstract:

Accusing, condemning, and avenging are part of our daily life. However, a review of many years of literature attempting to analyze our blaming practices suggests that we do not understand very well what we are doing when we judge people culpable for a wrong they have committed. Of course, everyone agrees that, for example, someone deserves censure and punishment when she is guilty of a wrong, and the law has traditionally looked for a mens rea, or “guilty mind,” in order to convict someone of a criminal wrongdoing. But philosophers and legal theorists have found it interestingly difficult to s

This paper argues that the buried child is not only the illegitimate child in the family, but Dodge and every family member in the play.

Moral and theological reflection on sin is based on an anthropology that presupposes human weakness. Although this assumption has met with criticism that even led to the denial of sin, a universal view on anthropology leaves no doubt about human error or guilt. A constructive approach to the logic of sin has encouraged many believers to receive the sacrament of confession that has taken various forms over the centuries. The first indications of a positive experience of sin can already be found in the Old Testament, and in particular in the saving work of Jesus Christ. The early Church faced th

Ostensibly Caché sits in a familiar generic framework: the thriller narrative of a family under threat is reminiscent of films such as The Desperate Hours (1955), Cape Fear (1962), and Straw Dogs (1971).

The femme fatale of film noir has come to be regarded as an expression or symptom of male paranoia about the shifting dynamics of gendered power relations in patriarchal Western culture.

No man [...] can wear one face to himself and another to the multitude, without finally getting bewildered as to which one may be true. (Nathaniel Hawthorne Scarlet Letter – as seen and pondered by Tony Soprano at Bowdoin College, The Sopranos, Season 1, Episode 5: “College”)The fictitious is a particular and varied source of insight into the everyday world.

As she dropped, a tiny silken thread unwound from her rear end. “Next, I wrap him up.” She grabbed the fly, threw a few jets of silk around it, and rolled it over and over, wrapping it so that it couldn’t move. Wilbur watched in horror. He could hardly believe what he was seeing, and although he detested flies, he was sorry for this one. “There!” said Charlotte. “Now I knock him out, so he’ll be more comfortable.” She bit the fly. “He can’t feel a thing now,” she remarked. “He’ll make a perfect breakfa
