Abstract:
The purpose of this text is to explore the main ideas and issues in the theory surrounding testimonial literature, and to analyze the discussions that brought the genre to a close; these discussions did not take into account the fact that the theoretical-methodological crisis affected the field of testimo­nial studies but did not affect the creation of new testimonies. Hence, the theory of testimonial literature in Latin America emerged from two works (Biography of a Runaway Slave and I, Rigoberta Menchú), is based on the Marxist concept of class struggle, and acknowledges only one type. Tes­timonies that do not fit this model have lost importance or been ignored. Although testimonial studies have entered a crisis, new testimonies conti­nue to be produced. Finally, we posit the need to rekindle the debate based on different corpora and other categories of analysis.

Abstract:
En el presente ensayo se analiza el posicionamiento adoptado por parte de la crítica literaria a ambos lados del Atlántico frente al testimonio en tanto que instrumento de denuncia de injusticias perpetradas en contextos históricos traumáticos. Ello se lleva a cabo a través del análisis de los escándalos por los que se vieron rodeados los testimonios de Rigoberta Menchú (activista guatemalteca que obtuvo el Premio Nobel de la paz en 1992), Enric Marco (Presidente de la Sociedad Amical de Mauthausen y otros campos y de todas las víctimas del nazismo de España) y Binjamin Wilkomirski (famoso por una autobiografía en la que describía sus supuestas experiencias en los campos de exterminio nazis). Las reacciones suscitadas por dichos escándalos ilustran el distinto papel atribuido a la categoría de la autenticidad testimonial y autobiográfica por parte de la tradición crítica surgida en torno a la Shoah y por parte de la que se ha desarrollado a partir de la literatura del testimonio latinoamericano. Lo que se pretende mostrar aquí es que las diferencias observables en cuanto a las delimitaciones trazadas entre los géneros ficcionales y los no ficcionales se ven fuertemente determinadas por la memoria cultural de cada país y por la distinta función social que se le asigna a la figura del testigo, función que depende esencialmente del posicionamiento adoptado frente a los acontecimientos más traumáticos del propio pasado nacional. This essay examines the critical reactions to the scandals associated with the testimonies of Rigoberta Menchú, Binjamin Wilkomirski and Enric Marco in order to undermine the differ-ent comprehension and reception of Holocaust testimonial literature and Latin American ‘literatura del testimonio’. The critical responses to Rigoberta Menchú’s autobiographical dis-honesties as representative of the suffering of Guatemala’s indigenous people and to Binjamin Wilkomirski’s and Enric Marco’s false testimonies as Holocaust survivors show that the com-prehension of the testimonial genre depends in great part of the understanding of the limits between fictional and non-fictional genres, understanding which is strongly determinated by the different national memory cultures. The aim of this article is to critically challenge the role played by these different cultural memories in the reception of testimonial literature.

Abstract:
La mirada del que testimonia no sólo es prueba, evidencia, también se impone como lugar simbólico desde el cual se narra una experiencia única e irrepetible. Raúl González Tuñón configura un sujeto ficcional y testimonial, pero no se inscribe como autoridad que presenta la verdad de lo acontecido, sino como sujeto garante de una experiencia inenarrable, la de la muerte. Ese sujeto ficcional, poético, habla de la muerte y recupera esta experiencia de lo real como vivencia, rescata lo impresentable, estetiza, da a conocer zonas veladas de lo real. El tipo de sujeto que rubrica un testimonio no se verá implicado solo como testigo que ve y da fe de lo visto, sino que se construye desde una posición de sujeto partícipe que postula una versión posible de lo ocurrido y además cuestiona otras versiones: todo lo testimoniado depende de una enunciación que es siempre postura y selección.

Abstract:
El presente artículo aborda el estudio de la obra ensayística y la obra literaria de una escritora desconocida en nuestro país, la argentina Nora Strejilevich. A partir de la resignificación que realiza Michel Foucault del método genealógico de investigación histórica, se realiza una lectura comparada de –dándolas a conocer al lector– la genealogía teórica que realiza Strejilevich del género del testimonio en la producción argentina y de la genealogía familiar que redibuja en sus relatos sobre su propia familia. Así, recupera una línea para el testimonio (para el género y para su propia creación testimonial) obviada por la crítica de los ochenta, como es la que procede de los testimonios de la Shoah. De ese modo el terrorismo de Estado que reinó en Argentina durante los años del Proceso se interpreta desde una nueva perspectiva.

Abstract:
The debate over Rigoberta Menchú's testimonio has centered on whether or not Menchú told the “truth” regarding details of her personal life. According to her critics, her “lies” discredit her testimony and reduce the moral authority of leftist intellectuals who teach testimonial texts. This focus on verifiable facts ignores the literary value of testimonios in general and the importance of Menchú's testimony in particular in a discursive war tied to cold war politics. This essay explores the problematics of truth, the nature of testimonio as a genre, and the relation between political solidarity and subaltern narrative. It also examines the function of Menchú's testimonio as a discourse on ethnicity and considers the relation among the anthropologist, the subaltern subject, and truth. The conclusion deals with the need to rethink the concept of identity, with the desires and fantasies of subjective transformation, and with the notion of identity politics.

Full text
Abstract:
This thesis creates a gendered typology of women’s testimonio that foregrounds the Cold War context of the genre. This new perspective reveals that contrary to the assertions of some critics, the texts struggle to convey a unitary propagandic message. Rather, their prime purpose is to counter hegemonic discourse. Yet, far from being unliterary or impersonal, they impart much personal information using a diversity of stylistic devices. The testimonios challenge the profoundly gendered national security discourse of their own governments and the US. The argument that brutal counter-insurgency tactics, widespread incarceration and torture, were necessary to combat “communist-inspired” insurgency is invalidated by these testimonios which replace dichotomising and reductionist Cold War propaganda with accounts of the local, subjective and personal reasons for political involvement. The texts disclose the potentially traumatising lived consequences of US foreign policy and national security strategies to reveal their disproportionate and excessive nature. However, the testimonialistas’ sense of a greater purpose, collective identity and belonging to a wider community enables them to remain resilient in spite of adverse experiences. Despite their loyalty to utopian and egalitarian ideals, sexism from within leftist movements and governments is exposed and denounced by the female protagonists as patriarchal institutions, traditions and gendered identities are consistently undermined. Latin American women, as guerrilleras, organisers and members of peasant and indigenous communities, present themselves as defiant protagonists who, aside from the male-dominated master narratives of the superpowers, demonstrate the strength of their political agency, psychological resilience and ideological convictions.

Abstract:
Josep Maria Poblet i Guarro (Montblanc, 1897 – Barcelona, 1980) és autor d’un centenar d’obres literàries que abarquen des del periodisme fins a la comèdia, passant per la literatura testimonial, les memòries o l’assaig històric o la biografia. La present tesi doctoral se centra en l’estudi i l’anàlisi de tres grans gèneres de la seva prosa narrativa no imaginativa: el periodisme, la literatura testimonial (crònica de l’exili, llibres de viatges, reportatge novel·lat o prosa costumista) i memorialisme (autobiografia i memòries). En la primera part de la tesi s’explica la construcció de Poblet com a intel·lectual catalanista a través de l’anàlisi del seu discurs ideològic elaborat a partir d’un centenar d’articles seus publicats a la premsa montblanquina entre els anys 1914 i 1936. Paral·lelament també es contextualitza la seva activitat en l’associacionisme polític i cultural del Montblanc d’aquests anys, principalment a la Joventut Nacionalista i l’Orfeó Montblanquí, sense bandejar qüestions com la influència d’aspectes del Modernisme i del Noucentisme o de la cultura de masses, tant en el seu discurs com en la seva obra. La segona part correspon a l’anàlisi dels gèneres literaris que utilitza i de les obres que constitueixen la seva producció testimonial escrita durant l’exili a Cuba i Mèxic, i les reedicions d’aquestes obres a l’editorial Selecta, fins als llibres editats a Pòrtic, un cop retornat d’Amèrica, així com la consegüent recepció crítica. La tercera part de la tesi està dedicada a les seves memòries, a través de les quals s’explica la construcció del jo i les convencions del gènere, al mateix temps que serveixen per resseguir el seu itinerari vital; aquest text tanca el seu corpus narratiu testimonial i relliga tota la seva obra anterior. L’objectiu principal de la tesi és recuperar una figura literària i la seva obra, poc estudiades, i situar-les dins de la història de la literatura i de la intel·lectualitat catalanes.<br>Josep Maria Poblet i Guarro (Montblanc, 1897 – Barcelona, 1980) is the author of hundreds of literary works in a number of styles-from journalism to comedy, even testimonial narratives, memoirs, history essays and biographical pieces. This doctoral thesis focuses on the study and analysis of three main genres of his non-fiction narrative prose: journalism, testimonial literature (such as chronicles of exile, travel books, fictionalised reports or works on local customs or manners) and memoirs (autobiography and memoirs). In the first part of the thesis, the construction of Poblet as a Catalan intellectual will be explained through the analysis of his ideological discourse using many of his articles published in the Montblanc press between 1914 and 1936. Simultaneously, his activity in the political and cultural associations of Montblanc in these years will be contextualised; mainly in Joventut Nacionalista and Orfeó Montblanquí, without ignoring the influence of Modernism and Noucentisme (a cultural and ideological movement from Catalonia at the beginning of the twentieth century) and the media as a whole, not only in his discourse but also in his work. In the second part, his literary genres will be analysed, as well as works written during his exile in Cuba and Mexico and the reeditions of these works in the Selecta publishing house or the books printed by Pòrtic after returning from America, together with the consequent critical reception. The third part of this study is devoted to his memoirs, through which the construction of the literary self and the genres conventions will be explained as well as his life plan; this text closes his testimonial narrative writing and ties together all his previous work. The main objective of this doctoral thesis is to recover a rarely-studied literary figure and his works, by placing them in the history of Catalan literature and intellectuality.

Abstract:
Within the last three decades, contemporary North America came to reinvent a socially focused genre of literary personal narratives. These new editorial and writing projects, published in the form of collections of personal narratives, emerged as a tool for the socially voiceless to secure some measure of agency in their contemporary social and cultural situation. Projects such as the Freedom Writers’ Diary or volumes of the Voice of Witness book series fit in the process that is currently labeled social empowerment. Witnesses express a deep urge to share their story in the hope to denounce their experience of an enduring social injustice. The written word, primary a means for self-disclosure, serves to exorcise the suffering associated to this specific predicament. The narrators engage in a powerful self-investigative gesture oriented towards resilience and renewed enfranchisement in regaining control over their life and environment. At the moment of publication, however, these testimonies come to be validated as authentic examples of the injustices they disclose. These examples serve an educational purpose: raising the audience’s awareness and opening deliberative fora for these issues to be discussed and for solutions to be hammered out and eventually implemented. <p>The purpose of this dissertation is to propose a theoretical model for the subgenre of testimonials of social empowerment. With the concept of empowerment as groundwork, the model develops a textual approach framed in a psychosocial structure. I argue that testimonials may be described as examples of Jürgen Habermas’s communicative action. As speech acts aimed at reaching understanding, testimonials capitalize both on the binding and bonding aspects of illocutionary force in the hope to secure with their audience an ongoing dialogue over issues of social justice. The volumes, as unofficial public spheres, mobilize the normative and practical dynamics at work in social movements. These dynamics express as two narrative guiding threads: an aesthetic based on impact, and an ethics based on responsibility. The texts’ aesthetic develops a form of perlocutionary realism instantiating a sense of authenticity and sincerity embodied in the narrators’ voices. The resulting impact is coupled to moral concerns based on a polysemic understanding of social responsibility, on which narrators seek to build their narratives’ ethical potential. A series of case studies allowed to demonstrate that both narrative threads are realized as an appropriation of four paradigmatic forms of rhetorical ethos, each based on a specific realm of the social world: intimacy, justice, spirituality and activism.<p><br>Doctorat en Langues et lettres<br>info:eu-repo/semantics/nonPublished

Abstract:
During the 1994 genocide in Rwanda, acts of extreme violence were committed against women. This thesis aims to explore how Rwandan women genocide survivors respond to and communicate such a traumatic experience. From a perspective of trauma theory, it engages with the published testimonies of Rwandan women survivors, seeking to understand how the genocide is remembered in both individual and collective memory and the challenges Rwandan women face in the ongoing process of surviving trauma. Exploring the ways in which Rwandan women position themselves as witnesses, the first chapter addresses the crucial questions of who is a witness and who has the right to speak about a traumatic historical event. It distinguishes between different categories of witness and looks at the levels of witnessing in Rwandan women’s testimonies, as well as considering the role of the reader-witness in the act of testimony. Responding to an imperative of memory, the women are speaking on behalf of other survivors and honouring the memory of the victims. At the same time, the experience of genocide is shown to be deeply individual, and the second chapter provides a detailed analysis of the narrative strategies Rwandan women adopt to communicate the particularity of their experiences. Through a range of ‘translation’ techniques, the women reconstruct their individual chronologies and challenge the notion of the unsayability of trauma. However, the extremity of what the women have lived through can be incomprehensible to the reader, who is often unwilling to hear the story. One of the ways in which cross-cultural communication can be achieved is through collaboration, a process which is examined in the third chapter. The collaborator plays a complex role in the production of the testimonies, functioning not only as empathic listener, but also as writer, editor, and mediator of the story. This chapter draws out the problems associated with collaboration and also highlights its potential value for the Rwandan women as it is ultimately through the collaborator that they are able to convey their story to a Western audience. Gaining access to the Western publishing industry is just one of the many obstacles the women must face in communicating their stories, and the majority of survivors continue to be silenced. The role of silence both within and surrounding Rwandan women’s testimonies is the focus of the fourth chapter, which looks at the physical manifestations of silence within the narratives as well as the silencing of survivors in Rwanda and across the diaspora. The silencing of survivors’ stories has strong implications for the recovery of the individual, often preventing her from moving from surviving to living, a notion that is examined in the final chapter. Testimony is shown to play a central role in this transition. Yet, in the face of the politically motivated processes of national reconciliation, justice and commemoration, Rwandan women struggle to regain control over their narratives. This final chapter emphasises the importance of the community in helping women to reclaim their voice and tell their stories on their own terms. Overall, women remain marginalised figures in the writing of history, and this thesis seeks to underline the necessity of developing new ways of listening to the diversity of Rwandan women’s voices, in order not only to gain greater insight into how traumatised individuals remember but also to hear the challenge they pose to conventional Western modes of responding to trauma.

Full text
Abstract:
Le statut du témoignage au sein du savoir est devenu un objet de questionnements, occasionnant des affrontements entre différentes disciplines à travers l’usage de paradigmes distincts. À partir du constat de l’«émergence» récente de la catégorie de «témoignage» dans le champ littéraire, cette thèse essaie de décrire son expansion et son extension au sein de plusieurs disciplines (droit, histoire, philosophie, critique et théorie littéraires) et d’examiner l’hypothèse selon laquelle son développement dans le champ des sciences humaines et sociales correspondrait en réalité à sa profonde mise en crise. Pour définir la notion de «témoignage» en littérature au XXe siècle, elle entreprend de poser les jalons d’une «histoire culturelle» des gestes testimoniaux et des notions de «témoignage», en vue de définir un objet théorique pertinent pour la théorie et la critique littéraires. Son but est de comprendre la manière dont le «témoignage» est devenu une catégorie à la fois nébuleuse et centrale de la vie culturelle en Occident, et de mettre en évidence la spécificité des formes testimoniales au XXe siècle. En introduisant les notions de «littérature testimoniale», d’«œuvre testimoniale» et de «création testimoniale» elle veut préciser la notion de «témoignage» et lui rendre sa complexité. Il s’agit donc de retrouver l’intelligence historique de la notion, afin d’en faire une catégorie pleinement opératoire pour le discours critique et de construire les fondements d’une «histoire culturelle du testimonial» qui retrace la rencontre entre l’art et le témoignage et explique l’émergence, au sein de la littérature, de cette forme nouvelle appelée «création testimoniale»<br>The status of testimony in knowledge has become a subject of questions, causing clashes between different disciplines through the use of distinct paradigms. From the observation of the recent "emergence" of the category of "testimony" in the literary field, this thesis attempts to describe its expansion and extension in several disciplines (law, history, philosophy, and critical literary theory), and examines the hypothesis that the progressive flooding of this concept in humanities and social sciences corresponds to a deep "crisis of witnessing". In an attempt to define the concept of "testimony" in literature as it appears during the twentieth century, this work aims at laying the foundations for a "cultural history" of testimonial gestures and notions of "testimony" in order to define an appropriate category for literary theory and criticism. Its goal is to understand how "testimony" became both a nebulous and central category in cultural life in the West, and highlights the specificity of testimonial forms in the twentieth century in the aftermath of the Holocaust, which must ultimately help clarify the concept of "testimony" and re-establish its complexity by introducing the notions of "testimonial literature", "testimonial work of art" and "testimonial creation". This thesis aims therefore primarily to recover the historical understanding of the concept, in order to make a fully operational category out of it for critical discourse, and to build the foundations of a "cultural history of testimonial gestures" which traces the encounter between art and testimony and explains the emergence, in literature, of a new form called "testimonial creation"

Full text
Abstract:
The thesis offers a critical comparative reading of testimonial literature emergent from the Holocaust and the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Through identifying aspects of thematic and stylistic commonality between these literatures, this thesis aims towards establishing a series of narrative traits that characterise the testimonial genre. This comparative stance informs the structure of the thesis, in that each chapter deals with examples of testimonies emergent from the Holocaust and the atomic bombings. Chapter one engages with the history of autobiography criticism and genre theory, and through close readings of both testimonial and autobiographical works by Primo Levi and Elie Wiesel, posits areas of potential difference between the two forms of life-writing. The traditional understanding of the autobiographical contract, as defined by Philippe Lejeune, is challenged through a comparative analysis of the way in which the self is constructed in Holocaust and A-bomb testimonies. Chapter two focuses on the narrative challenges posed by the encounter with trauma. Informed by structuralist theories of language and critical readings of testimonial writing, this chapter examines the way in which the experience of trauma intensifies the arbitrary nature of the relationship between language and experience, to the extent that language appears to fail. Drawing on Blanchot's theory of the communicative possibilities of silence, the thematic and stylistic representation of silence, in its many forms, is considered in the context of Holocaust and A-bomb testimonies. Chapter three explores the representation of the female experience in testimonial texts. Beginning with Cixous' and Irigaray's theories of écriture féminine and fémininité as an interpretative lens with which to approach women's narratives, this chapter considers the way in which women's testimonies are influenced by both a poetics of gender and a poetics of trauma.

Abstract:
The article examines episodes of M.M. Bakhtin's personality and ideas in the 1950s. Based on the analysis of materials found in the scholar's personal archive, the testimonies of contemporaries, and surviving correspondence, it is concluded that M.M. Bakhtin's name and works during this period were known to a much larger circle of scholars than previously thought, and that the dialogue with Bakhtin about Dostoevsky was becoming an important part of Soviet Dostoevsky studies in the second half of the 1950s.

Abstract:
The paper examines the initial circle of historical coverage of Serbian literature from the oldest written testimonies to the middle of the 19th century. It is a period of seven decades. The formation of literary historiography among Serbs began, namely, with Dositej Obradović (1803) and ended with the History of Serbian Literature by Stojan Novaković (1871). It is about the movement of national historiographical thought from initial needs and ideas to the construction of a framework that transforms this concept into a science. On the one hand, the paper determines and describes the turning (decisive) points of the founding of Serbian literary historiography. On the other hand, certain personal moments that characterized its establishment and further development are presented. To that extent, research attention is focused first on the problem of transition, i.e. transformation of old Serbian literature into the new one, and then on traces and factors of extra-literary, ideological influence on the direction and outcomes of literary-historical and national-cultural endeavours of Lukijan Mušicki, Lazar Bojić, Jovan Subotić, Jovan Ristić, Stojan Novaković.

Abstract:
In China, “Banzhu” refers to the traditional construction technique using formworks and ramming for buildings. Based on a literature review and oral testimonies of builders, this paper describes the areas where Banzhu was the dominant building technique in ancient China. This paper provides a classified study of this technique from the perspective of formworks, according to the unit arrangement and fixed approaches, in order to show the characteristics and distribution of different variations. It is found that all kinds of formworks need to comply with the basic requirements of blocking the earth, controlling the wall section, and fixing themselves, and the reasons for variations are the requirements for wall quality, height, and labor availability.

Abstract:
Gender equality promotion initiatives are increasingly needed to foster the choice of the scientific area of engineering. Currently, in higher education, it is observed that regarding engineering courses women practi­cally have no representation in relation to the number of male students. The article presents the problem in the field of Gender Equality interrelating with the Sustainable Development Goals. The research methodology adopted is Design Science Research, given the specificity of the problem. The main results and contributions are the literature review in the field of the theme under study, as well as the various initiatives in the national Portuguese context and focus on a set of instruments of debate and dissemination in­volving testimonies of former students and the community. These initiatives promote Gender Equality in engineering courses in Higher Education, en­hancing the choice of these courses.

Full text
Abstract:
"Memorialization refers to preserving and remembering traumatic events and people who suffered or died during conflict or genocide. It aims at examining past trauma to address contemporary issues. In addition to documenting and telling facts and truth, memorialization helps with recognizing and honoring those who suffered and preventing “future atrocities through education and advocacy” (Thompson, n.d.). Memorialization plays an important role in post-conflict “reconstruction and redress”. Genocide memorialization can take different forms such as museums, law, documentaries, education, and first-person accounts and testimonies (Bennett, 2020). Most recently, Extended Reality technologies like Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR) started to push the physical and mental boundaries of genocide memorialization and storytelling. Through an extensive review of the related literature, our paper first surveys AR and VR-based genocide memorialization around the world. Through a selected number of case studies, we will highlight how AR and VR memorialize and engage affected and no-affected people with genocide. Our paper also discusses the impact of AR and VR-based genocide memorialization."

Abstract:
ABSTRACT Physical education is focused on the development of the essential qualities of pupils which is at the base of the learning process in Physical Education. This process requires the observation of changes within the limit of boundaries and other qualities, which is one of the main testimonials of a teacher. Another possibility is that allows observation in the changes of the essential qualities and provides improvements and updating the approach and methods of developing the above-mentioned qualities. In this process, we set a goal for the current research which follows the changes that apply to the essential qualities as a main point of physical education on 10-14 years old pupils for a four-year period. In order to achieve those goals, here are the following steps that needs to be considered: 1. Issue research in literature resources. 2. Apply a sport pedagogy tests. 3. Analise and interpretation of the test results. We have tested a group of pupils based on the system for assessing the physical fitness for students from first grade to twelfth grade on Miladinov and colleagues. This test took place in the following years 2018/19 and 2021/22. The collected results were processed via SPSS software v.19. The data analysis was based on a variety of comparing analyses. The result of the above-mentioned research shows some changes within the five essential qualities among pupils of the same age. Based on the research, we were able to establish some recommendations to improve the methods of developing essential qualities of pupils’ same age.

Abstract:
Language can mirror relationships throughout and between communities, while it enables connections and separation simultaneously. Jewish and Christian communities had a close but complicated relationship in the late antique-early Islamic period in Babylon (the fertile crescent). That relationship included similar dialects of Aramaic: Jewish Babylonian Aramaic and Christian Syriac Aramaic. My study describes changes and developments in the status of an apostate (Heb. Meshumad) in the Jewish literature of late antiquity, by examining terminological variations. In this presentation, I wish to present the Syriac developments and to compare the two, in order to better conceptualize the mutual process in one terminological and conceptual case. One such case is the defining of the apostate, not only by his apparent wrong doing, but also by seeking his motivation to act. According to that model, if an evil act originated from his desire or lewdness, he should be judged in a more containing manner than if it had originated by rage or theological purpose. This was phrased in Hebrew by the words Meshumad le-Teavon ‘apostate out of desire.’ The second word le-Teavon (for (his) desire), is a predicate added to the basic ancient term Meshumad, ‘apostate.’ This model and new phrasing are connected mainly with Rava, who was a prominent sage who lived in 4th century CE in Mehoza, close to Ctesiphon, the capitol of the Persian Sassanian dynasty. The Syriac word Shmad is well attested, and more so since the early testimonies of Syriac literature, in different forms, connected to the semantic field of curse, ban, and excommunication. Only in sources from the 5-6th centuries CE do we find a new form of that root Meshamdotho, which suggests ‘lewdness,’ ‘to be wanton.’ The new form changes the focus of the root from describing the wrongdoing and its social implication to describing the manner of doing, maybe even to the motive for his or her behavior. My presentation will raise the question of the connection between those almost parallel changes. Are they related to one another? In what way? What is similar and what are the differences? Can we explain the reason for raising a new paradigm in communal defining the apostates and wrong doers? I will examine some sources, Jewish and Christian, that relate to those terms and ideas.
