Smith, Vanessa. "Possible Persons: Dickensian Character, Violent Play." PMLA/Publications of the Modern Language Association of America 137, no. 2 (March 2022): 215–29. http://dx.doi.org/10.1632/s0030812922000037.
Full textAbstract:
AbstractThis essay proposes a new way of thinking about Dickens's “little” characters in The Old Curiosity Shop and Our Mutual Friend, referencing Melanie Klein's “play-technique.” Klein was the first to theorize the anxious aggressive child and to posit a complex object relating in which the damage and repair of toys mediated and modulated the unmanageability of infantile emotion. Dickensian characterization, often criticized as object-like and lacking complex interiority, can be understood to intuit the developmental dynamics that Klein would locate in interactions between the child and the thing. Dickens's increasingly interiorized protagonists are surrounded and mirrored by toylike figures that problematize the thesis of novelistic maturation, proving as essential to the depiction of a complex psychology as internal monologue or achieved Bildung.

Full textAbstract:
The urban legend that tells of how a young person ate by mistake some biscuits belonging to an old man sitting on the same bench in a Belgrade park is a transformation of an urban legend whose British version features an elderly British lady and a young immigrant, and which can be found throughout Europe, involving protagonists of various nationalities. Before undergoing transformation in Serbia, the legend was depoliticized, reducing the protagonists to two persons for the purposes of moral instruction and moral-religious propaganda. In Serbia, the age of the two protagonists has been reversed, while the moral of the story derives from the specific 1990s distinction between Slobodan Milošević’s Serbia and "the Other Serbia". In both cases, the legend propagates the idea of adaptation and assimilation, suggesting that "others" can learn to be like "us", which ensures that they are no longer in the position of "the other".

Full textAbstract:
Narratives featuring majoritarian (e.g., White, male, middle/upper class, and/or heterosexual) protagonists are so prevalent in U.S. society that they have become the normative reference point by which some members of society may view and label others. They may, therefore, implicitly consider those who do not fit the majoritarian mold as somehow inferior or deficient. Counternarratives challenge majoritarian biases by normalizing the experiences of minoritized persons and inviting their stories to rupture the dominant narrative. In this article, I engage the concept of counternarratives by relating my encounter with a historical narrative that differed from the majoritarian one I had been taught. I then describe how counternarratives can take a reader on a journey through time, sociality, and place to evoke a sense of connection with a non-majoritarian protagonist and awaken the possibility for seeing the world anew. The article continues with descriptions of counternarrative texts and their potentials, first from literature and contemporary autobiography and then from within music education.

<p align="left"><strong>Resumen</strong></p><p>Este texto analiza los modelos femeninos que se están imponiendo en la nueva narrativa audiovisual. Las mujeres han ocupado casi siempre un lugar secundario en los relatos de ficción, y aun siendo protagonistas han sido representadas mayoritariamente como personas que anteponían los intereses de los demás a los suyos propios en todos los órdenes de la vida. Los nuevos modelos que proponen las series de ficción presentan mujeres que actúan y viven para sí, que intentan encontrar acomodo en una sociedad en la que todavía perviven los estereotipos de género que estas nuevas heroínas tratan de combatir. La renovación de los clásicos modelos femeninos es de vital importancia para proporcionar nuevos referentes a las jóvenes generaciones. </p><p align="left"><strong>Abstract</strong></p><p>This text focuses on the female models that are being imposed in the new audiovisual narrative. Women has occupied mostly a secondary place in the fiction stories, and even as protagonists, they were depicted as persons who put their personals interests in a second place, either in the workplace, in sentimental or in family life. Women in the new fictional series are persons who act and want to live one’s own life. They give priority to their jobs in their lives and they usually maintain anticonventional sentimental relationships.

Full textAbstract:
The current study examines how women’s roles have changed in Indian society through an analysis of Manju Kapur’s Difficult Daughters (1998), Home (2006) The Immigrant (2009), and literary works. This paper analyzes the quest for feminine identity and the struggle for change in the female protagonists in the select works. Her fiction projects raise feminist concerns and feminist issues. In Indian tradition goddesses like Lakshmi, Saraswati, and Durga are worshipped in every household. Thus, the women are expected to have goddess-like characteristics to escape the scrutiny of critical eyes and feel trapped by such mundane situations. The prime objective behind the feminist movement was to change the destiny of women and make them realize that the time has come when they stop suffering silently in helplessness. Women in Indian society have never been recognized as persons apart from their assigned duties as mothers, wives, and daughters. The female protagonists of Kapur, Nina (The Immigrant), Virmati (The Difficult Daughters), and Nisha (Home) attempt to break away from the dependence syndrome that patriarchal agents have imposed upon them. The current study centers on the female protagonists’ quest for uniqueness and self-identity and avoids being perceived as self-sacrificing rubber dolls. They must struggle for their existence, which has been going on for centuries and will probably continue for a long time.

ABSTRACTThe interaction and inter-penetrability overlap of abuse and neglect has been previously described. Therefore, the question is not whether a distinction can be made between the two, but how specific events are constructed into abuse and/or neglect based on how each of the protagonists involved (researchers, professional workers, family members, and the older persons themselves) make sense of abuse and neglect. The purpose of this paper is to explore the social and psychological construction of elder abuse and neglect and illustrate the theoretical constructs using case material and its application to the field.

Full textAbstract:
Rebecca, written by Daphne du Maurier, the well-known British female writer in 20th century, is a masterpiece suffused with suspense and mystery. Since its publication in 1938, it had caused quite a sensation among readers and became an instant best seller that had never gone out of print. In the existing studies of the novel, most scholars laid their emphasis on character analysis, feminism criticism, narratology, gothic writing and psychoanalysis. However, the analysis of the personality of the Protagonist from Carl Jung’s Archetypal theory is rarely seen, moreover, no one has yet made a comprehensive study of the persona of three protagonists under Jung’s persona theory. By analyzing the persona of both the male protagonist, Maxim, and the two female protagonists, Rebecca and “I”, and exploring reasons resulting in their imbalanced persona, hopefully this paper could render a new approach to reveal the theme of the novel and interpret Daphne du Maurier’s dilemma in her bisexuality. In this paper, three parts are presented. The first part initially makes a survey of previous studies on the novel both at home and abroad, and then introduces Carl Jung’s persona theory. The second analyzes the three protagonists’ persona in detail: Maxim’s overdeveloped person, the nameless narrator’s underdeveloped persona and Rebecca’s well-balanced person; the last part explores reasons resulting in their different personas, mainly from two perspectives: the social background and Daphne du Maurier’s ambivalence about her bisexuality.

Full textAbstract:
This study analyzed the consciousness, unconsciousness, and individuation process of 'Cheongmyeong', the protagonist presented in the webtoon “Return of the Blossoming Blade”, based on Jung's theory of individuation. The subject of the research was the webtoon “Return of the Blossoming Blade”, which has formed a readership across various genders and age groups, based on a successful web novel. The individuation process of the protagonist of “Return of the Blossoming Blade”, analyzed using Jung's theory, is as follows: Firstly, the protagonist's ego originated from the shadow derived from the unconscious. Secondly, the protagonist's persona is social and positive in reality, but the personal persona manifested as an unrevealed shadow. Thirdly, the protagonist's anima/animus connects the profound inner consciousness with reality, maintaining a complementary relationship with the persona. Fourthly, the protagonist's Self symbolizes the collective ideal human and the essence of the volcano. The protagonist was shown to achieve individuation through a continuous repetitive process of integrating consciousness and unconsciousness, and through the compensatory process.

Abstract Yijian zhi, the massive collection of supernatural tales compiled by Hong Mai (1123–1202) in the twelfth century, gives considerable attention to merchant figures and even members of more lowly walks of life (e.g., soldiers, butchers, waiters, and singing girls). This is unexpected since Hong Mai himself was not just an imperial official but a particularly eminent one, whose appointments included Hanlin academician and court historian. Appearing in the tales, sometimes even as protagonists, are members of society whom the superelite like Hong Mai seldom even mention in their conventional literary and scholarly writings. These Yijian zhi stories thus provide a glimpse of the ways that members of the socially and politically elite perceived persons of lowly social backgrounds. The fact that Hong Mai did not compose his stories from his own imagination but, rather, recorded tales told to him by informants, most of whom were also members of the elite, as well as his conviction that the tales narrate events that actually happened, however uncanny or “marvelous” they were, makes the collection even more valuable as a source for general upper-class perceptions. Once identified and examined, those perceptions by socially elite persons of contemporaries who did not have a classical education contain elements we might expect as well as those that may surprise us.

Full textAbstract:
This paper comparatively and contrastively explores two art forms, the novel and film, by the same artist, Tsitsi Dangarembga, with a view to gauging their effectiveness in configuring Zimbabwe’s postcolonial dispensation. What is gained and what is lost when an artist shifts from one art form to another? Dangarembga belongs to the protest tradition of Zimbabwean postcolonial artists and the conceptual fibre of this tradition is notably the dystopian themes like disillusionment, cultural confusion, sex-role stereotyping, as well as social power relations. Dangarembga’s canonical novel, Nervous conditions (1988), and the highest grossing film in Zimbabwean history, Neria (1993), are both sterling attempts within the feminist tradition. The film and novel mirror a society in the throes of an epochal transition, the sense of impending change giving the works the commonality of an apocalyptic vision. Against a backdrop shaped by the interplay of historical, cultural and colonial forces, the works become perceptive anthropological windows into a society replete with multiple contradictions. In both her novel and her film, Dangarembga equips her protagonists, Tambudzai and Neria respectively, with a self-defining voice that questions and subverts the status quo. Salient manifestations of toxic masculinity in this patriarchal society account for the subtlety with which Dangarembga critiques gender relations within and without the boundaries of race and class. The protagonists in both works undergo rigorous struggles from which they ultimately emerge as different persons. This paper focuses on the nature of this struggle and its concomitant change.

Whatever may be thought about the question of the possible disestablishment of the Church of England, there is one premise which the protagonists do not dispute. Nobody doubts that the Church of England is established. Well informed persons also know that, as one aspect of struggling with ‘the Irish question’ in the nineteenth century, the union of the Churches of England and Ireland was dissolved, and the Church disestablished, so far as the island of Ireland was concerned, by the Irish Church Act 1869. Besides, there was disestablishment for the territory of Wales and Monmouthshire by the Welsh Church Act 1914, an Act which is something of a constitutional curiosity: as there is not a separate Welsh legal system, it is very rare for legislation to distinguish between English and Welsh territory, as that Act does.

Abstract:ROSES AND THORNS IN ROMANTIC RELATIONSHIPS: LOVE, EXPECTATIONS, AND PROBLEMSThe intimate relationships have a great value in the life of the persons and, for most of them, to find and to maintain a stable couple relation, well-established and happy continue to be occupying a preponderant role in his/her “ideal” of life (to short, half or long-term), while either his absence or failure is frequently detected as a negative or stressful condition that affects the life of their protagonists. The present work deals with a psychosocial approximation to the study of the sentimental relations in youngster’s couples that are not yet living together neither they have done it in the past. In this phase it is accustomed to give rise the germ of future-conflicts and the couple behaviour patterns become established to be perpetuated and to constitute the guideline or the posterior relation model for it. Thus the way to understand love, the couple relationship, the conflict and the management skill to solve it, will be analyzed.Keywords: Romantic relationships, Love, ConflictResumen:Las relaciones íntimas tienen un gran valor en la vida de las personas y, para la mayor parte, encontrar y mantener una relación de pareja estable, consolidada y feliz sigue ocupando un papel preponderante en su “ideal” de vida (a corto, medio o largo plazo), mientras que su ausencia o fracaso es frecuentemente percibida como una condición negativa o estresante que mediatiza la vida de sus protagonistas. El presente trabajo pretende una aproximación psicosocial al estudio de las relaciones sentimentales en parejas jóvenes que aún no conviven juntas ni lo han hecho en el pasado, es decir, lo que popularmente se denomina pareja de novios. Es en esta fase cuando suele fraguarse el germen de futuros conflictos y cuando se establecen los patrones de comportamiento de pareja que tenderán a perpetuarse en el tiempo y a constituir la pauta o modelo de relación posterior entre ambos. Así se analizará la forma de entender el amor y la relación de pareja, el conflicto y las estrategias y habilidades exhibidas para resolverlo.Palabras clave: Relaciones de pareja, amor, conflicto

No se trata de que el tercero que apoya sustituya a la persona con discapacidad intelectual, sino de que aquel ponga a disposición de ésta los apoyos precisos para que pueda tomar sus propias decisiones, recuperando su protagonismo en la toma de decisiones que le afectan, como protagonista activo en el desarrollo de su proyecto vital. La intervención del tercero que apoya no es para sustituir a la persona con discapacidad intelectual en la toma de decisiones, sino que se dirige a ayudarla a decidir para que pueda desarrollar su libertad y su autonomía personal.

On 13 February 2014, the Spanish Constitutional Court came to a final decision regarding the fate of Mr Stefano Melloni. The story of the case is worthy of attention not only from the perspective of the interaction between the Spanish Constitutional Court and the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU), but also from the standpoint of the conflicting levels of rights' protection in Europe. The story of Melloni can be described in three acts: setup, confrontation, and resolution.First, the setup: in 2011, the Spanish Constitutional Court made its first and (so far) only preliminary reference to the CJEU. The Constitutional Court was faced with a collision between the constitutional right to fair trial of persons convicted in absentia and the obligation under EU law to execute a European arrest warrant (heretofore EAW). This setup generated great anticipation, both because of the protagonists and the type of conflict, since in this case what obstructed one member state from complying with EU law was its higher level of constitutional protection for the right in question.

Personality of any character in a work of art has become significant to be analyzed since it contributes to the value of the story. This paper analyzes a work concerning the personality of the protagonist. Unlike most protagonists who have the role to perform the traditional traits of a hero, some protagonists on the other hand tend to depict the characteristics of a villain. Yet the protagonist is still the leading character who just fails to enact the virtue of the society. In this case, a study of the concept of anti-hero is applied in order to expose the characteristics of anti-hero through the findings of the personality of the protagonist. The object of the study is a novel by Gaston Leroux retold by Namm (2008) entitled The Phantom of the Opera which has profound sense of psychological issues related to the characters inside the story especially the protagonist. This paper exerts a descriptive qualitative method and applies the psychology approach. Using two archetypes by Carl Gustav Jung, this paper focuses on two contradictory archetypes which are the persona and the shadow. For further analysis using the concept of anti-hero, this paper will use both archetypes to identify the characteristics of anti-hero. Henceforth, this paper discovered about the portrayal of those archetypes along with the reflection of anti-hero characteristics performed by the protagonist. There are two findings, first, the portrayal of the phantom�s persona as the mysteriously creepy ghost to the society, Angel or Music to Christine and his shadow dealing with his crimes. Second, the characteristics of anti-hero used his persona and shadow to show that anti-hero is flouting the traditional hero virtue and gaining sympathy from reader even though his darker side is more dominant.

The second half of the 20th century in Bosnian literature is marked by the new tendencies of avant-garde writers, who will create their work through a different form of artistic creation, compared to the one that was presented at the beginning of this period. It is important to clarify the specificity of the various procedures that have positively directed dramatic creativity towards the modern lines of European literary circles. Derviš Sušić (1925-1990.), the Bosnian-Herzegovinian tradition and the reality of images, presented in a completely new artistic vision, make oscillation, in the writer's creation, between the determinants of historical facts and the legacy of oral tradition. Derviš Sušić Within the avant-garde tendencies of contemporary writers of the regional region, which appear in the mid-20th century, Sušić dominates in his virtuous creations of dramatic situations and dilemmas, in which his protagonists act. In a specific presentation of crucial culmination points, within the framework of the process of "drama of the flow of consciousness," a modern process in the conduct of drama, this writer analytically approaches the individual's dialectical duplication. Through artistically shaped fragments taken from historical records, this literary virtuoso presents in his texts a culmination point of Bosnian survival, very picturesque dramatic shaped historical characters and crucial events. It is symptomatic that Susić's characters become prototypes of stage characters, without temporal or location restrictions, transmitting a universal message of a unique attitude about the value of human activity and existence, outperform stereotypical models recognizable in the additional drama literature. Through the colorful of seeing and a range of specific dramatic characters, without the diversity of their differentiation in national status or sociopolitical affiliation, this writer creates a special ambient effect in the construction of his poetic fabrics based on historical background. The task of this paper is to prove the causality and conditionality of altruistic (social) and egoistic (individual) agonies in the actions and actions of Sušić's characters, in the examples of dramatic texts "Veliki vezir" (1969) and "Posljednja ljubav Hasana Kaimija "(1973), as well as the influence of emotional indicators on the concrete initiation of the dramatic conflict. It is therefore very interesting to explore and verify the models that will dominantly dominate the regional scene for almost half a century and be accepted as models in the way of writing its contemporaries, among the readers' population, but also at the same time with very successful placement in the theater audience.

Full textAbstract:
Background: Suicide has been conceived as involving a continuum, whereby suicidal plans and acts emerge from thoughts about suicide. Suicide prevention strategies need to determine whether different responses are needed at these points on the continuum. Aims: This study investigates factors that were perceived to counter suicidal ideation, plans, and acts. Method: The 36 participants, all of whom had had experiences of psychosis and some level of suicidality, were presented with a vignette describing a protagonist with psychotic symptoms. They were asked to indicate what would counter the suicidal thoughts, plans, and acts of the protagonist described in the vignette. Qualitative techniques were first used to code these free responses into themes/categories. Correspondence analysis was then applied to the frequency of responses in each of these categories. Results: Social support was identified as a strong counter to suicidal ideation but not as a counter to suicidal plans or acts. Help from health professionals was strongly related to the cessation of suicidal plans as were the opinions of the protagonist’s children. Changing cognitions and strengthening psychological resources were more weakly associated with the cessation of suicidal ideation and plans. The protagonist’s children were considered potentially helpful in addressing suicidal acts. Conclusion: These results suggest that both overlapping and nonoverlapping factors need to be considered in understanding suicide prevention, dependent on whether individuals are thinking about, planning, or attempting suicide.

La investigación se basa en realización de entrevistas y aplicación de la Escala de sobrecarga del cuidador de Zarit, aplicados a una muestra de 273 cuidadores de personas con discapacidad. Como resultados destacan la desatención a los problemas de cuidadores y personas con discapacidad en el mundo rural, la falta de oportunidades y escasos apoyos que reciben los cuidadores en el desempeño de sus tareas. Las respuestas tradicionales no son suficientes para mejorar las cualificaciones y servicios, ni alcanzar derechos y reivindicaciones que pongan en valor el trabajo que realizan. El grado de autonomía funcional de la persona con discapacidad influye en la calidad de vida percibida por las personas cuidadoras. La sensación de sobrecarga del cuidado es mayor en función del grado de discapacidad de la persona atendida y de los apoyos recibidos en el núcleo familiar. El cuidado sigue siendo una tarea esencialmente femenina.

Lohlker, Rüdiger. "The Kutadgu Bilig: some characteristics and its relation to the idea of rule." Historical Ethnology 8, no. 3 (December 4, 2023): 389–93. http://dx.doi.org/10.22378/he.2023-8-3.389-393.
Full textAbstract:
Mirrors of princes are a specific genre of Islamic literature dedicated to giving advice to rulers, princes, and ministers. There are few mirrors that are composed in verse. The Kutadgu Bilig is modeled on the Persian Shāhnāme of the poet Firdawsi making the Central Asian heritage of wisdom literature at home in Islamic contexts. The text is written in Qarakhanid Turkish; the form is a didactic poem set as a dialogue between the protagonists. In a Weberian sense the program of advice may be analyzed as rational leadership due to the increasing role of shari’a-based rulership. However, there are other elements of legitimacy in this text blurring the clear distictions made by Weber. Hence, we may identify it as a unique, non-European case of legitimation of rulership. The Kutadgu Bilig are to be read as an attempt to secure the continuation of the Central Asian tradition in a context dominated by Iranian influences into Central Asia. The protagoists of this work are the king, the vizier, the wise man, and the ascet. All these actors are representing virtues needed for successful rulership. At the same time the roles of all the persons associated with the court are discussed even very personal ones like choosing a wife and raising children.

Gao, Yidan. "The Influence of the Truth of the Characters on Chinese Films in the 1990s: A Case Study of Farewell My Concubine." Communications in Humanities Research 34, no. 1 (June 5, 2024): 262–66. http://dx.doi.org/10.54254/2753-7064/34/20240148.
Full textAbstract:
The 1990s represent a unique period in Chinese history, during which the characters real-life experiences have a significant impact on both the audience's perception of the characters and their aesthetics, debate and criticism of social reality, and, to some extent, the long-term trajectory of Chinese cinema. This period coincides with the release of Farewell My Concubine in this decade. Under the special background of the times, it tells the story of Duan Xiaolou and Cheng Dieyi. The story, featuring a diverse cast of characters from various social classes, can be regarded as a compilation of humanistic traditions in the 1990s. It encompasses critiques of feudalism, social turmoil, the struggle for survival, and a compassionate exploration of human nature. Additionally, it establishes a solid cinematic groundwork for future investigations into the social context of this era. This story reveals a concealed crisis of survival within a seemingly peaceful social setting, bringing together protagonists with diverse personalities. This paper employs discourse analysis and audio-visual language analysis research methods to examine the impact of character truths on Chinese films from the 1990s. Using the film Farewell My Concubine as an example, the research reveals the personality truths through each persons unique and profound character truth.

Aymanns, Peter, Sigrun-Heide Filipp, and Markus Winkeler. "Age differences in supportive reactions toward a person in need: A quasi-experimental study." International Journal of Behavioral Development 27, no. 3 (May 2003): 232–42. http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/01650250244000308.
Full textAbstract:
Age differences in social support have been studied almost exclusively with regard to the older adults’ role as support recipients, whereas the influence of support providers’ age has not received much attention. A few experimental studies indicate that the willingness to help others (e.g., by giving donations) increases with age. However, studies are lacking which extend these findings to less clear-cut situational contexts, for example, to supporting victims of a critical life event and which, in addition, systematically investigate social cognitive and affective reactions as mediators of age differences. Using a quasi-experimental design, N 1/4 452 older vs. middle-aged participants (61 to 78 vs. 34 to 52 years old, respectively) read fictitious scenarios describing a protagonist who asked for support in dealing with the diagnosis of a severe illness. Protagonist’s age was varied between participants (70 vs. 40 years). Independent of protagonist’s age, older participants (compared to middle-aged) were more willing to provide emotion-focused support, but were less willing to discuss the illness in detail (problem-focused support), and they showed a higher tendency to withdraw and to distance themselves from the protagonist. Age differences in emotion-focused support were mediated by the older adults’ higher self-ascribed competence in providing support.

Los preceptos penales de la parte especial describen generalmente acciones de una sola persona, y así se conoce como el autor el “quien” o el “que”, anónimos con que empiezan la mayoría de las descripciones típicas. El legislador parte del supuesto de que el autor es quien realiza la totalidad de los elementos del tipo en su propia persona. El nuevo derecho caracteriza al autor individual, pues mediante el precepto de castigar como autor a quien comete por sí mismo la conducta punible, así nos lo indica, pero lo cierto es que el agente no siempre actúa solo, sino también en colaboración con otros. Se tiene, por tanto, que el ordenamiento jurídico se encuentra ante el problema de la intervención de varias personas en una conducta punible. Véase a guisa de ejemplo las instituciones de la autoría, coautoría, autoría mediata, determinación, complicidad, interviniente. Como objetivo se busca estudiar, comentar, criticar los distintos factores que giran alrededor de la temática. En consecuencia, en el desarrollo de este artículo se hizo uso del método analítico investigativo.

Full textAbstract:
Yoko Tawada made her debut in Germany before Japan, but her first work of fiction published in Japan was “<i>Missing Heels</i>.” This novel has been read as a depiction of a person’s encounter with a foreign country. Based on previous studies, this paper examines the anxiety expressed by the protagonist as a foreigner, caught between two communities, old and new, culturally and linguistically, in relation to the violence inherent in the intersection of looking and being looked at. Specifically, we will look at how the gaze of “I” and the gaze of the people of the town are represented as the protagonist come to be placed in a place where the gaze of “seeing” and “being seen” intersect. We will then look at how the violence that the gaze contains, which transforms the object to be seen, works on the protagonist’s body and shakes the protagonist’s identity.

Full textAbstract:
El proceso de transición demográfica ha generado interrogantes sobre el envejecimiento poblacional, así como llamar la atención de organismos internacionales y gestores de políticas públicas para generar programas que aborden esta realidad. La persona mayor, como nuevo protagonista social, pone en entredicho la necesidad de transitar por un “proceso de envejecimiento exitoso”. De esta manera, las oportunidades educativas se convierten en opciones liberadoras para este grupo, ayudándolos a mantenerse activos, productivos e insertos en la sociedad. Este trabajo tuvo como objetivo mapear la ocurrencia de las políticas educativas a través del análisis textual de marcos legales y documentos formales relacionados con las personas mayores y la educación en Brasil. Como resultado, se observó la orientación genérica del Ministerio de Educación en relación con el grupo de adultos mayores, ya que las premisas educativas del Plan Nacional de Educación solo mencionan jóvenes y adultos. Con esto se evidencia la falta de un proyecto didáctico coherente dirigido específicamente a las personas mayores. La imagen negativa de los adultos mayores en Brasil, que perdieron su protagonismo después de tantos años de analfabetismo, puede ser institucionalizada.

Full textAbstract:
In this paper, I propose a way of systemic work through art and specifically through theatrical practice in order to prompt this kind of creative writing called spontaneous writing. In the Improvisational Experiential Theatre method that I practise, spontaneous writing is prompted by theatrical improvisations. The writings of the group members compose a play, which is brought before a theatre audience. Systemic practitioners often use writing in their work with people in order to help them to express themselves. Spontaneous writing which aims for the creation of a theatrical play triggers the group members to release their deeper thoughts, their feelings and their body, and to express themselves mostly poetically. It creates the space that helps them to connect with society, writing about social issues that touch everyone. And when these persons, who are not actors, present their own play on a stage, they see themselves as protagonists in their lives and at the same time as active members of society. I hope that this paper will motivate systemic practitioners to use the art, in any form, in their work with people.

Full textAbstract:
(1) Background: Studies on women with disabilities (WwD) are rare and tend to reveal certain representation patterns. This study aims to understand how and to what extent WwD and chronic diseases are deemed newsworthy in the Portuguese public news TV station RTP1 primetime news program. Feminist disability, standpoint, agenda-setting, and framing theories are used alongside the concept of intersectionality. (2) Methods: A mixed-method approach is adopted, combining quantitative content analysis of all broadcasted news in January 2020 (n = 704), and qualitative discourse analysis of news items on PwD (n = 5). (3) Results: The results reveal that disability is a reduced issue in Telejornal’s agenda. PwD, in general, are often portrayed in secondary roles and without a voice. The protagonists of news stories about disability or persons with disabilities are predominantly women without disabilities, occupying traditional roles as caregivers (mothers, nurses), while men are more often portrayed as public agents. Discourse analysis deepens understanding by uncovering the prevalence of negative news values and a problem-centred framing, often associated with negativity, rather than presenting solutions. (4) Conclusions: Consequently, WwD were found to be deprived of news representation with a more positive or ‘normal’ focus and an intersectional approach reveals a lack of inclusion, with the few existing news tending to focus on exclusion issues, portraying only white Portuguese women. This study underscores the urgent need for a more equitable approach in media representation, recognising the diversity and positive contributions of WwD to promote an inclusive narrative.

Full textAbstract:
The incredibly patient Santiago, the protagonist of Ernest Hemingway’s The Old Man and the Sea and the stubborn and revengeful Captain Ahab in Herman Melville’s Moby Dick present an arresting similarity if their fate and fatal ending are observed. Both the protagonists are driven by their urge to triumph over their situations – Santiago from poverty and social shame, Ahab from obsession with vengeance. Both in the end lose the capacity for reasoning which leads them towards their doom. Their persona – the best fisherman of an area for Santiago and the best whale hunter in a community – gets hurt and drives them towards their demise. They both want to be the conquerors of the sea and finally are conquered by their desires. This research identifies both the characters in social image crisis. Drawing upon the works of Sigmund Freud and Carl Gustav Jung, the paper first analyses the personality levels and different drives in human beings. Then, how the drives motivate the two characters and their personas will be discussed. Overall, the paper criticizes the choices of the two characters in the light of psychoanalysis.

La ética como elemento práctico fundamenta el interés del Trabajo Social en las personas y sus características, fomentando el desarrollo de la autonomía, restableciendo el ejercicio de los derechos y promoviendo la dignificación de las personas. Estos objetivos, trasladados a la investigación social, se concretan en situar al individuo en el centro de la acción investigadora, propiciando su participación en el proceso. En esta línea, se presenta una investigación social cuya metodología se ha diseñado desde dicha perspectiva ética. A través de este ejemplo, se cimienta la importancia de la metodología de carácter cualitativo -y sus herramientas de recogida de información- como método para la aproximación a la realidad de los propios protagonistas. Finalmente, se expone como resultado que los sujetos han sentido su participación en la investigación como un paso hacia el reconocimiento de sus capacidades, a la vez que se reflexiona sobre la importancia de conocer la realidad desde la mirada de las personas protagonistas de los hechos. Ethics, as a practical element, infuses interest in the Social Work of people and their personal characteristics. It encourages the development of autonomy, restores the exercise of rights, and promotes people's human dignity. When transferred to the field social research, these objectives are reached by setting individuals at the center stage of the research activity, thereby directly promoting their participation in the process. Following this line, we present a social investigation articulated via a methodology developed according to the aforementioned ethical perspective. This study underscores the importance of our methodology's qualitative perspective, from the tools it uses to collect data, to its ability as a method to better approximate the actual reality of its protagonists. Our results suggest that participants view their collaboration in the research positively, as it provides them a step forward in gaining recognition for their abilities. Finally, it contributes further to the issue regarding the importance of understanding social reality from the point of view of its protagonists.

Full textAbstract:
Using archival documentation, this article discusses the beginning of the first grand international aid mission of the Catholic Church (1922–23), undertaken to assist the starving children of Bolshevik Russia. Under the auspices of the American Relief Administration (ara), the Papal Relief Mission to Russia fed approximately 158,000 persons a day. The pivotal figure between American Catholics and the Roman Curia, and subsequently between the Vatican and the Bolsheviks, was Edmund Aloysius Walsh, S.J., founder of the first us school of diplomacy, at Georgetown University. Walsh served as papal emissary in charge of this mission, which, among other duties, entailed liaising with the ara, keeping the Vatican informed, and negotiating with the Bolsheviks regarding the church’s position within a communist society. Walsh’s experience provides a firsthand view of the “Bolshevik world” and insight into the manner in which the Bolshevik Revolution was understood by the Vatican. The actions of the protagonists (Włodzimierz Ledóchowski, Jesuit superior general; Pietro Cardinal Gasparri, Vatican secretary of state; Mgr. Giuseppe Pizzardo, Vatican substitute secretary of state; Col. William Haskell, director of the ara’s Russian Relief Program; Mgr. Lorenzo Lauri, apostolic nuncio to Poland; and Walsh), are revealed through their own words, which show the difficulties encountered within both the Christian and Bolshevik spheres and clarify that common objectives were often shared only in appearance. Notwithstanding the good will that the mission’s success earned for the Vatican, the attempt to establish diplomatic relations was destined to fail, due in large part to the events narrated herein.

Full textAbstract:
The main goal of this paper is to analyze #YoSoy132 construction of mediatic iden-tities through videoactivism, and to question if YouTube was determinant or simply instrumental in the implosion of the movement. During the 2012 “Mexican Spring”, stu-dents and citizens not only occupied the streets to quest for a “real democracy” or to express their dissent through very significant demonstrations, but they also occupied the internet to protest. First of all, identity features of the movement are analyzed in relation with the following variables: 1) nucleus of belonging, 2) main sociodemographic features, 3) forms of leadership, 4) interests, 5) collective identity, and 6) relationship with otherness. Second, through a qualitative methodology —content analysis—, this paper analyzes the most relevant pieces of videoactivism produced by young adults. This study focused on the role and function of the videos to know if social media was “instrumental” or “determinant”. Third, mediatic identities represented in the videos are analyzed by exploring the following aspects: a) protagonists appearing in the vid-eos: main role, gender and age range, b) locations where these characters appear and c) type of identity represented: hegemonic or counter-hegemonic, majority or minority. The main result of this research is that a resistence and contra-hegemonic identity is created through YouTube videos by young Mexicans. Moreover, being #YoSoy132 goes far beyond being young, student or belonging to a specific university. In this regard, the scenario is not occupied by a single subject or specific group of people, but it belongs to the “oppressed” and to persons at risk or discrimination.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract This essay examines the servants and shopkeepers who play a surprisingly central yet critically unacknowledged role in Henry James's fiction of the late 1890s, arguing that James's frequent depiction of lower-class life is a sign not of an unsuspected interest in class but of his familiar interest in consciousness. This interest has been memorably diagnosed by Sharon Cameron, who observes that in the work of James's last stage ““consciousness is not in persons; it is rather between them””——that thoughts can be shared by characters without being spoken. Yet the writings that immediately precede James's last works offer a less reciprocal model of consciousness to the one that Cameron provides. Because the characters in What Maisie Knew (1897), The Awkward Age (1899), and The Turn of the Screw (1898) do not have access to the minds of those around them, they are forced to imagine other forms in which to measure both their own knowledge and that of others. The form they discover is the lives of the people who work for them. These subjects provide a fixed scale by which to measure the growth of consciousness in James's protagonists because they are assumed to have none of their own. Thus in The Turn of the Screw the terror experienced by the governess at the apparition of the ghosts of the former governess and valet can be understood as her realization that her identity is her situation; like them, she is reproducible, exchangeable, dispensable. The ghosts, that is, function as externalized figures for her own condition.

Full textAbstract:
A short narrative film was edited four different ways by varying the amount and type of deviation from linear montage and the presentation of action and events in their canonical order. Recall of action and reconstruction of the linear order of events were strongly associated with the degree of montage linearity, regardless of the particular plot or motives that were inferred. However, the most veridical perceptions of the protagonists were produced by a relatively deviant version, along with unexpectedly high recall and linear comprehension. Results suggest that understanding and recalling a film's events and an actor's behavior depend on the interplay between the underlying story grammar and the way the montage implies temporal continuity or a retroactive match through its depiction of spatial relations and movement. Presenting negative information at the end leads to more negative impressions of a protagonist and spectators increasingly dislike the film as versions become less filmic, even if they successfully reconstruct the linear order of events.

Este estudio compara a los protagonistas de las novelas Don Quijote de la Mancha, de Miguel de Cervantes, y Monsignor Quixote, de Graham Greene, usando como base la teoría de la transtextualidad de Gerard Genette. El artículo analiza concretamente la transposición temática de la figura del caballero errante en la persona de su descendiente, Monseñor Quijote; con este análisis el personaje adquiere una función semántica más profunda y productiva. A través de la figura heroica de su protagonista en su rebelión contra una jerarquía eclesiástica conservadora, Monsignor Quixote constituye una crítica de la opción de una Iglesia católica preconciliar y propone un modelo de iglesia mucho más progresista.

Full textAbstract:
The article deals with Dina Rubina's novel On the Sunny Side of the Street, published in 2006. The writer's name became known in Russia in the 70-ies when as a young girl she began publishing her first short stories in the liberal literary magazine Junost ́, and got her first recognition among the reading public as a promising story-teller.After her emigration to Israel in 1990 a new period in Dina Rubina's writing started. A new theme made itself apparent in her stories - the theme of Jews from the former Soviet Union discovering their new Motherland, their new experience of living under absolutely different geographical and social surroundings. She managed to create in her stories a gallery of characters almost recognizable in their uncertainty and fumbling attempts at survival. The stories she wrote then were a success with the public not only because of their plot but also because of a peculiar mixture of humour and sadness, and very vivid and convincing speech characteristics of the protagonists, they also witnessed about the awakening of patriotic feelings of the newcomers. Dina Rubina's artistic style seemed to combine the vividness of the psychological characterization and caleidoscopic variety of depicted situations.The novel On the Sunny Side of the Street is different both in the topic and in the artistic means used by the author. It is telling a story of two gifted persons, mother and daughter, and their different ways of using their talents.This particular story is shown on a wide background of different events taking place in Tashkent during some four decades after World War II with a picturesque variety of characters of different nationalities and beautiful scenery, tragic and comic signs of the Soviet time - all this helps to create a panoramic view of both the city and its inhabitants.The structure of the novel is complicated, the story is often interrupted by voices of former inhabitants of Tashkent telling about their impressions from the town or by the voice of the author telling of her own private experiences and even meetings with the main protagonist, Vera, who is a painter. This fact accounts for the author's masterful use of colourful details both in descriptions of the characters, their speech and the nature.This novel was rewarded with a special Radio-Booker prize in 2006, and with a very prestigious literary prize "Bol ́šaja kniga" in 2007. Dina Rubina has proved that she remains a very important part of Russian literary life.

Full textAbstract:
Based on archival and published sources, the author analyzes complex contexts of writing a narrative about Holy Rus’ by a well-known émigré historian. The political and ideological contexts were determined by changes in the composition and sentiments of Russian refugees after the Second World War. On the one hand, the spread of “Soviet patriotism” among some emigrants of the first wave as a result of their acknowledgement of the decisive victory of the Red Army encouraged the historian to remind them about the anti-Bolshevik origins of the post-revolutionary emigration. On the other hand, his book represented a religiously grounded ideal which could serve as the basis for cultural and historical identity of the anti-Soviet “displaced persons”. The religious context was primarily determined by the failure to unite the Orthodox jurisdictions of Russian emigrants after the World War II, which required the historian to dissociate himself from the reactionary program of protagonists of the Russian Orthodox Church Abroad. The situation was further complicated by the disagreement between older and younger generations of the representatives of the “School of Parisian theology”, which characterized the academic context. As a result, Kartashev had to disassociate himself with those of his disciples who did not follow his interpretation of the Chalcedonian dogma. Last but not least, the organizational and financial contexts, which also depended on the ideological and political contexts, meant that he could not seek financial support from the American curator of Saint Sergius theological institute in Paris, but applied for it to Novitsky brothers who organized fundraising activity among Russian Orthodox emigrants in the United States to ensure publication of the book.

Full textAbstract:
This article deals with two modern forms of travelling, which both have developed into boom industries over the last 25 years: the foot pilgrimage along the Camino Francés to Santiago de Compostela in Spain and journeys along so called backpacker’s trails. Whereas the label of ‘pilgrim’ is still mostly associated with devotional persons leaving home out of purely religious motives, young people taking to the road as ‘backpackers’ are generally perceived as pleasure seeking globetrotters. However, the intention of this essay is to break with these stereotypes and to work out some of the major similarities between what at first glance appear as two entirely different ways of travelling. Within this long lasting travelling process the exterior journey always correlates with the inner journey. At the same time, a personal transformation of the protagonists is very possible to occur, be it an increase in self-confidence or an enhancement in status, prestige and identity, alongside further personal insights. Whilst travelling can therefore be seen as a form of a transition, in contrast to traditional rites de passage there is neither a fixed starting point nor a determined ending point, moreover the transformation is self-imposed and occurs on an individual than on a social level. In this context a foot-pilgrimage and a backpacker’s trip can be understood as an ideal way to evade the daily routine and the societal pressure in order to look for a different kind of living. But it may also be a personal quest for a change or an improvement of one’s situation as well as an alternative to the established social and religious institutions.

Full textAbstract:
German pianist Clara Wieck Schumann and Italian painter Artemisia Gentileschi were both tutored by their fathers from an early age and made their mark as great European artists. Their art took them both across the continent, where they met many other famous historical persons. Their lives have not only been recorded in biographies but have also been retold in several novels, or ‘fictionalised biographies’. The fictionalised biography is an interesting hybrid genre, placed somewhat uncomfortably between historiography and the art of fiction, which permits it to disregard certain expectations raised by so-called ‘factual’ biographies (e.g. that authors should strive for ‘objectivity’ or ‘truthfulness’). The relationship between fact and fiction can thus be re-negotiated, following the author’s ideological inclinations and their imaginative closure of historiographical gaps. Beginning with some general remarks on fictionalised biographies of ‘exemplary women’, this paper then examines Janice Galloway’s Clara (2002) and Susan Vreeland’s The Passion of Artemisia (2002), focusing on the complex father-daughter relationships that Clara Wieck Schumann and Artemisia Gentileschi undoubtedly experienced, and which offered the authors ample ground for a critique of historical gender relations and hierarchies. The analyses will concentrate on the heroines’ journeys in Europe. The paper examines the ways in which the two fictional rewritings of historical women artists’ lives foreground gender aspects and make use of the narrative privileges of fictionalised biography to project contemporary feminist ideas onto historical characters and events, and explores the function of the featured European locales with regard to the protagonists’ personal development in the novels.The heroines’ ventures into foreign lands are revealed to function as an impulse towards a changing perception of their fathers as well as themselves.

Madrid fue el escenario de la Cumbre del Clima 2020, en la que participaron más de 25.000 personas. En un contexto en el que la cuestión climática se ha convertido en una de las principales preocupaciones de la sociedad, esta investigación analiza quiénes fueron los actores protagonistas de la Cumbre, según la radio española. El estudio revela que las principales cadenas radiofónicas conceden un gran protagonismo a la clase política, mientras que apenas se interesan por el colectivo científico, y que la activista sueca Greta Thunberg goza de una presencia casi idéntica a la del resto de agentes sociales en conjunto.

Humans are often considered egocentric creatures, particularly (and ironically) when we are supposed to take another person's perspective over our own (i.e. when we use our theory of mind). We investigated the underlying causes of this phenomenon. We gave young adult participants a false belief task (Sandbox Task) in which objects were first hidden at one location by a protagonist and then moved to a second location within the same space but in the protagonist's absence. Participants were asked to indicate either where the protagonist remembered the item to be (reasoning about another's memory), believed it to be (reasoning about another's false belief), or where the protagonist would look for it (action prediction of another based on false belief). The distance away from Location A (the original one) towards Location B (the new location) was our measure of egocentric bias. We found no evidence that egocentric bias varied according to reasoning type, and no evidence that participants actually were more biased when reasoning about another person than when simply recalling the first location from memory. We conclude that the Sandbox Task paradigm may not be sensitive enough to draw out consistent effects related to mental state reasoning in young adults.

Full textAbstract:
Purpose – This study aims to investigate scholars’ roles in resolving environmental community conflict, as environmental community conflict is becoming an increasingly serious problem in contemporary China, and it explored the underlying factors and mechanisms that influence successful conflict resolution. Design/methodology/approach – Based on a combination of three types of sources – interviews, participant observation and existing literature, the study compared and contrasted 35 cases through a two-stage study project with 25 environmental community conflict cases in the first stage and ten non-environmental cases in the second. Findings – Results indicate that scholars serve seven roles in community conflict resolution: identification persons for potential sources of community conflict and supporters for the people who evaluate conflict problems before attempting to solve them; advisers for conflict protagonists; leaders of many knowledge-related activities; organizers of entrepreneurial activities for other community members; information brokers between community members and other stakeholders; representatives of the government, firms, community members and other stakeholders; and self-interested participants. While scholars’ participation is important for resolving community conflict, their actions are often not effective. Successful community conflict resolution involving scholars must satisfy eight underlying factors: local scholars’ sustained participation; high capacity; improvement on the organizational level of community members; emphasis on high efficiency knowledge and information transmission; effective finding and use of the community’s social capital; continual optimization on their action strategies; obtainability of some benefits; and non-local scholars’ sustained external support through social capital. The more closely these rules are followed, the more successful scholars’ participation in community conflict resolution will be. Originality/value – The findings have practical implications for improving the effectiveness of scholars’ participation in community conflict resolution in contemporary China and even in other countries.

Full textAbstract:
At an ICRC seminar on training and information techniques a few years ago an instructor described the position of a dissemination delegate within an ICRC delegation, and hence of dissemination work in general, as follows:“Within an ICRC delegation, the delegate responsible for disseminating international humanitarian law generally has his office at the end of a long corridor, right at the back between the office supplies cupboard and the toilets. But most of the time you won't find him there, as he (or she) is constantly out giving courses or suchlike, either at military installations or universities or among the National Red Cross Society's volunteers. And when you do find him for a short while in his office, he's fiddling around with scissors, paper and glue trying to put together a leaflet or a poster, or perhaps even a small brochure. His colleagues, the delegates dealing with the distribution of relief supplies, the tracing service or prison visits, smile indulgently when they see the dissemination delegate busy with work like that. They speak well of him because he regularly reads the International Review of the Red Cross and knows the ins and outs of international humanitarian law and ICRC policy; he is a good talker, so he always has to step in where armed protagonists in local conflict fail to observe the rules protecting the civilian population. He must often beware of being torn to pieces and is expected to be everywhere at once, because what he does, he alone can do. Many ICRC delegates admire the dissemination delegate; sometimes he gets called “the professor”, “the clown” or “the artist”. His work is a one-man show, and yet those delegates who distribute rice, visit prisoners or try to trace missing persons could not and would not want to do his job themselves.”

Full textAbstract:
The essay is based on interpretation of the Dark Forest, the most important play by Andrzej Stasiuk. In the world of this grotesque-futuristic drama, the author of the sketch found a representation of a paradoxical mechanism, which consists in taking power over Western societies by the inhabitants of the East – previously employed as cheap labour or forced to slave labour. In this play the revolutionary mechanism is shown on the example of relations between Germans and Poles. The Germans are a nation of wealthy and long-lived people, but unable to do any work and internally sterile, and thus exposed to the displacement by nations such as Poles – ambitious, hardworking, ready to gain the power. The revolution in the Dark Forest takes place as a result of the sudden death of one of the gastarbeiter working in the forest belonging to the German owners and the arrival of the deceased man’s attractive wife. According to the author of the essay, these two events: the tragedy and the farce, trigger forces that have not been present in the heroes so far. The first is the symbolic strength of Thanatos and the forgotten funeral ritual associated with death, the second is the strength of Eros. Death gives the lives of people harnessed in great civilization processes a dramatic dimension, individualizes them and empowers as persons potentially capable of higher feelings. Love and desire, on the other hand, restore the vitality of the Germans, and give the Poles an unforeseen form of power over them (and also over the Chinese, who are pressing from the East). Jacek Kopciński argues that the Dark Forest in the play is not only a place where organic matter is processed, but also an internal metamorphosis of the protagonists who, in a sterilized, materialized world, experience substitutes for forgotten holiness, and through desire – they come to life.

Full textAbstract:
El presente artículo se ubica en un momento intermedio de implementación de un proyecto interdisciplinario en una escuela de educación secundaria de una ciudad de la Patagonia Argentina, cuando las personas protagonistas, por razones diversas, se replantean la continuidad de las acciones y/o la modalidad de estas. Se analiza la movilidad que este tipo de trabajo genera en docentes, personal directivo y estudiantes, desde lugares que les provocan inseguridad hacia otros relativamente cómodos o estables para ellos, dentro de sus zonas de confort. La perspectiva teórica sustenta la integración no solo de disciplinas, sino también de saberes, tiempos, comunidades y personas. Se reconocen elementos de la vida escolar a tener en cuenta para promover cierta sustentabilidad de este tipo de proyectos, relativos a la visibilidad de las fases de ejecución, la modalidad de enseñanza y el criterio de evaluación. También emerge una necesaria reconstrucción de la referencia epistemológica del grupo protagonista involucrado.

Full textAbstract:
Portrayals of the Anthropocene period are often dystopian or post-apocalyptic narratives of climate crises that will leave humans in horrific science-fiction scenarios. Such narratives can erase certain populations, such as Indigenous peoples, who approach climate change having already been through transformations of their societies induced by colonial violence. This essay discusses how some Indigenous perspectives on climate change can situate the present time as already dystopian. Instead of dread of an impending crisis, Indigenous approaches to climate change are motivated through dialogic narratives with descendants and ancestors. In some cases, these narratives are like science fiction in which Indigenous peoples work to empower their own protagonists to address contemporary challenges. Yet within literature on climate change and the Anthropocene, Indigenous peoples often get placed in historical categories designed by nonIndigenous persons, such as the Holocene. In some cases, these categories serve as the backdrop for allies' narratives that privilege themselves as the protagonists who will save Indigenous peoples from colonial violence and the climate crisis. I speculate that this tendency among allies could possibly be related to their sometimes denying that they are living in times their ancestors would have likely fantasized about. I will show how this denial threatens allies' capacities to build coalitions with Indigenous peoples. Inuit culture is based on the ice, the snow and the cold…. It is the speed and intensity in which change has occurred and continues to occur that is a big factor why we are having trouble with adapting to certain situations. Climate change is yet another rapid assault on our way of life. It cannot be separated from the first waves of changes and assaults at the very core of the human spirit that have come our way. Just as we are recognizing and understanding the first waves of change … our environment and climate now gets threatened. Sheila Watt-Cloutier, interviewed by the Ottawa Citizen. (Robb, 2015) In North America many Indigenous traditions tell us that reality is more than just facts and figures collected so that humankind might widely use resources. Rather, to know “it”—reality—requires respect for the relationships and relatives that constitute the complex web of life. I call this Indigenous realism, and it entails that we, members of humankind, accept our inalienable responsibilities as members of the planet's complex life system, as well as our inalienable rights. ( Wildcat, 2009 , xi) Within Māori ontological and cosmological paradigms it is impossible to conceive of the present and the future as separate and distinct from the past, for the past is constitutive of the present and, as such, is inherently reconstituted within the future. (Stewart-Harawira, 2005, 42) In fact, incorporating time travel, alternate realities, parallel universes and multiverses, and alternative histories is a hallmark of Native storytelling tradition, while viewing time as pasts, presents, and futures that flow together like currents in a navigable stream is central to Native epistemologies.
