Lindgren, Fanny. "Upp och ned, hit och dit : En romananalys av Haruki Murakamis Fågeln som vrider upp världen utifrån Michail Bachtins kronotopteori." Thesis, Umeå universitet, Institutionen för kultur- och medievetenskaper, 2012. http://urn.kb.se/resolve?urn=urn:nbn:se:umu:diva-66699.
Full textAbstract:
In this essay Murakami Haruki’s novel The Wind Up Bird Chronicle was analysed from the perspective of Mikhail Bakhtin’s theory of the chronotope. The aim was to explore the concept of time and space as presented in the novel. In particular, the analysis focused on how Bakhtin’s chronotopes can be applied to The Wind Up Bird Chronicle, how the chronotopes can enhance our understanding of the novel, and finally how the chronotope theory can be applied to the concept of ‘magic realism’ that is often used to describe Murakami’s authorship. Four chronotopes, presented by Bachtin, were selected and applied to the novel: every-day life, the road, crisis and the castle. The concept of the chronotope allows analysis of how time and space work together in literature and how they form patterns of correlation in the sujet. Results showed that the four chronotopes were found in the novel, and that they also interacted with each other. The chronotope of everyday-life was apparent throughout the novel, and the narrator was under its control. The narrator also seemed to create every-day life out of the chronotopes of the road and crisis by re-living the crises in the road. These three chronotopes seemed inseparable in The Wind Up Bird Chronicle. Finally, the fourth chronotope, the castle, illustrated how a concrete room in the novel, a house, became a part of time and space through a character who, by his presence, gave the impression of slowing down time. When this character disappeared, time made its way through space, making the chronotope of the castle visible. The essay concludes that the chronotope theory was a relevant way to analyse The Wind Up Chronicle as it provided a concept of how time and space appeared together in a novel where time and space is always present. The analysis helped creating a way of understanding the patterns in the novel, which were not always clear, thereby also increasing the understanding of The Wind Up Bird Chronicle.

LIU, Jingya. "Chronotope and regional Chinese independent films." Digital Commons @ Lingnan University, 2010. https://commons.ln.edu.hk/cs_etd/2.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis aims to re-categorize Chinese independent films from a region-based perspective as a critical response to existing literature on Chinese independent films. This thesis analyzes three independent films made in three different regions of China in order to investigate regional Chinese independent cinema as a recently rising phenomenon: respectively, Jia Zhangke’s Xiaowu (1997) made in Shanxi Province, Ying Liang’s Taking Father Home (Bei yazi de nanhai, 2006) in Sichuan Province, and Robin Weng’s Fujian Blue (Jinbi huihuang, 2007) in Fujian Province.
By using Bakhtin’s concept of chronotope (literally time-space) as the fundamental framework and exploring the many aspects of it, I will develop three major theoretical points to study selected regional Chinese independent films: first, chronotope enables the evaluation of texts of Chinese independent films; second, the documentary impulses prevailing Chinese independent films serve as the chronotopic linkage between the world in the film text and the world the film text represents; three, the mediation function as one aspect of chronotope is characterized by the negotiation between regional Chinese independent films and many social relations, for example, filmmakers, casting, audiences.
This thesis also explores many issues related to Chinese independent films, for example: How do we value the unique film practice of Chinese independent filmmakers instead of viewing them as a unified whole? How do we relate Chinese independent films as aesthetic practices to the region-specific reality they are embedded in? How can Chinese independent cinema as a social practice play an effective role in society? The exploration of these questions does not only enlighten new research perspectives on Chinese independent films, but also provide reflections on the geographical, cultural and social diversity of Chinese regions.

Elmgren, Charlotta. "The Chronotope of Immigration in Jeffrey Eugenides' Middlesex." Thesis, Stockholms universitet, Engelska institutionen, 2011. http://urn.kb.se/resolve?urn=urn:nbn:se:su:diva-61587.
Full textAbstract:
Jeffrey Eugenides‟ Middlesex can be ascribed to many genres, one of which is the novel of immigration. Mikhail Bakhtin has suggested that each genre, indeed any literary motif, can be defined by its own chronotope, literally “time space,” “the intrinsic connectedness of temporal and spatial relationships that are artistically expressed in literature.” The essay discusses the chronotope of immigration in Middlesex, and looks at how four specific intersections of time and space, embodied by the four houses inhabited by the Stephanides family, contribute to the unfolding of this particular immigration saga. The four houses can thus be seen to represent the key elements of this novel‟s instance of a chronotope of immigration, which brings up concepts such as assimilation, hybridity and “third space.” The essay also examines the relations of central characters to time, space and each other; the upstairs/downstairs and inside/outside dichotomies within each house providing interesting keys to inter-gender and inter-generational alienation within this chronotope of immigration.

Full textAbstract:
This dissertation considers Hollywood film locales rhetorically, as the site of many different kinds of community activities and perspectives. In particular, my focus will be on locales and mise-en-scene elements that replicate certain "chronotopic" patterns of time and space organized by our culture in its literature. These special patterns, along with their signifying functions, were first outlined by Mikhail Bakhtin during the period 1937-1938. As a first step, I begin with a broad survey, outlining the salient features of Bakhtin's individual chronotopes ancient and modern, and considering fundamental connections between these chronotopes and classical Hollywood genres of the 1940s. I devote my second chapter to the exploration of other important theoretical bases of Bakhtin's work; in particular, to the belief in the rejuvenating power of folk language and the carnivalesque. My argument is that the "idyllic chronotope" is given the same position of centrality in Bakhtin's discussions of space and time as carnivalesque speech genres are in his discussions of language. The appearance of an "idyllic interlude" in a work of literature or in a film can suddenly throw the rest of the represented world into moralizing "perspective" just as a carnivalesque insult or quip can "degrade" a high-sounding speech. My third theoretical problem will be the reception and processing of the film text. How does the audience of a film apply their socially-formed schema and knowledge of the characters' "situations" to a film text in order to construct meaning? Here I demonstrate how the "high-lighting" of a film text with recognizable chronotopes can help an audience to form judgments about characters and to construct analogies between character situations and situations arising in their own communities. In my fourth and final chapter, I branch out from Bakhtin's models to consider new chronotopes as they may develop during a particular historical decade. Specifically, I examine the representation of the "shopping mall" as it appears throughout a dozen or so 1980s films in order to show how the spatiotemporal worlds suggested by these films can be "opened out" into a study of teen culture and social mores across the decade as a whole.

Full textAbstract:
The non-fiction introduction to The Wyvern’s Tale: A Thought Experiment in Bakhtinian Dual Chronotope Occupation documents the evolution of the novel, The Wyvern’s Tale, from the ideas that inspired it to its current incarnation as a full-length novel intended for an adult audience. It comprises an explanation of the novel’s main concept, Bakhtinian dual chronotope occupation, as well as an idea-focused account of the creative-writing process. Detailed in the introduction’s theoretical premise is the relationship between Mikhail Bakhtin’s theories of chronotope and the carnivalesque and the ideal of the divided union in Chalcedonian Christology. This relationship revolves around the state of existing in two time-spaces at once. The novel, The Wyvern’s Tale, explores this dual existence imaginatively using the setting of parallel worlds – the every-day world and a fictional world called Wyvern – as well as a protagonist, who functions in the fictional world as a Christ-figure. Particular thematic emphasis is placed on differing perceptions of truth and reality, and on the transformative power of costumes. The novel’s outcome, dependent on the reader’s decision as to whether dual chronotope occupation is possible or impossible, is respectively either hopeful or tragic. It attempts to reflect the outcome of the life and death of Christ depending on whether his co-existence as God and man was real or imagined.

Macapagal, Katrina Angela R. "The slum chronotope and imaginaries of spatial justice in Philippine urban cinema." Thesis, Queen Margaret University, 2017. https://eresearch.qmu.ac.uk/handle/20.500.12289/8975.
Full textAbstract:
This dissertation proposes that Philippine independent urban cinema reveals imaginaries of spatial justice. The works approached as Philippine urban cinema are independently produced and internationally circulated films that heavily feature or reference Philippine slums as setting, with narratives that centre on the lives of the urban poor. The theory of spatial justice as defined by leading urban theorists argues that social justice has spatio-temporal dimensions. Grounded on this foundational premise, this study approaches Philippine urban cinema in its capacity to foreground and represent the complexities of social justice as contextualised in Philippine urban conditions, with local and global trajectories. Alongside the theory of spatial justice, the dissertation draws from Mikhail Bakhtin’s theory of the “chronotope” (literally meaning time-space) to formulate a theory of the “slum chronotope” as a foundational concept for analysing the ways by which films are able to imagine issues of spatial justice, with emphasis on character configuration and narrative formation. The chapters are structured according to genres and modalities, where other chronotopes that dialogue with the slum chronotope are identified and examined. In the comingof- age chapter, the study locates “chronotopes of passage”; in the melodrama chapter, the study locates “affective chronotopes” configured by the spatial practice of walking; in the Manila noir chapter, the study locates “chronotopes of mobility”; and in the final chapter, the study locates “chronotopes of in/visibility” in the Overseas Filipino Worker genre. This study offers a novel interdisciplinary framework for analysing Philippine urban cinema, and in the process, makes a case for Philippine urban history as crucial grounds for understanding the global urbanisation of poverty.

Full textAbstract:
Pauline Melville’s The Ventriloquist’s Tale is an intricately layered novel in which the myths and folktales of the Amerindians of Guyana, as they are represented in Melville’s novel, are engaged in a dialogue with their reality. This narrative/mythical dialogue results in enactments and re-enactments of the myths and folktales, not only retelling them, but also recycling them, resulting in the Amerindians interpreting their myths and folktales nonmetaphorically. Mikhail Bakhtin’s concept of settings as chronotopes, “timespaces” in which time and space are inseparable from each other and from the theme, is used to define the distinct thematic qualities of the three narrative layers in the novel. I label these three chronotopes unfixed space, the juncture, and the interior. The interior is established as the chronotope in which the enactments and reenactments of myths and folktales primarily take place, re/enactments which add yet another layer to the novel. I argue that the reason the chronotope of the interior is the nexus of these myths and folktales is largely because the Amerindians adhere to a concept of time which is cyclical rather than linear. The enactments and reenactments are then unfolded as intentionally complex and contradictory threads, which are then untangled to show how the myths and folktales are recycled in the novel. This untangling reveals how the threads interconnect, and how they can all be traced back to the narrator, the trickster deity Macunaima, suggesting he is as unbound by temporal and spatial limitations as the narrative layer of myths and folktales from which he has emerged.

Lobo, Francisco Sousa. "Crisis of meaning, crisis of form." Thesis, Goldsmiths College (University of London), 2016. http://research.gold.ac.uk/19694/.
Full textAbstract:
The purpose of my research is to investigate the relationship between crisis of meaning and crisis of form in art production, fruition and critique. This investigation is grounded on notions present in historic and contemporary nihilism, materialism and existentialism that state that a crisis inevitably occurs, through enlightenment, in the relationship between self-image and realist and scientific principles. I want to extract the word crisis from vagueness and pathology, and argue that it can serve to describe a hidden trinity at the centre of art – there is a crisis of meaning, a crisis of form, and a crisis in the relation between meaning and form, each time a new work is set forth. My understanding of nihilism attempts an extraction from ethics, and puts nihilism against previous roles given to it. The philosophical approach present in nihilism has been used either as a byword for the enemy of reason, or as a dark background against which affirmation (Nietzsche), creative evolution (Bergson), or existentialism (Sartre) can shine. It is my purpose to explore the notion of crisis of meaning as the essence of nihilism (Ray Brassier), and overview its active ramifications in art. The field of form can be seen as immanently enacting a split between project and world (Bataille) – a split that runs parallel to crisis of meaning in philosophy. It is central to my research to investigate the locus of this crisis, in its relation to contextual crises, be it personal (psychosis), political (revolution), social, and crisis in the very set of criteria brought about in each instance of art. The written element will consist of twelve short chapters with as many incursions into particular instances where the notion of crisis of meaning is set to bring new clarity to pre-existing fields, from critical terrains to specific media and art history. The practical element will deal with notions of crisis of meaning and form, as well as with personal crisis, and will take the form of narratives about extreme states of being and the ends of narrative (comic books).

Full textAbstract:
This thesis intends to investigate the ways in which the changing perceptions of landscape during the nineteenth century play out in Kipling’s treatment of Kim’s phenomenological and epistemological questions of identity by examining the indelible influence of space— geopolitical, narrative, and imaginative—on Kim’s identity. By interrogating the extent to which maps encode certain ideological assumptions, I will assess the problematic issues of Kim’s multi-faceted identity through an exploration of both geographical and narrative landscapes and the various chronotopes—Bakhtin’s term for coexisting frameworks of time and space—that ultimately provide a new reading of identity-formation in Kim.

Full textAbstract:
The relationship of musicmaking to the city is a complicated one as it often takes very specific and complex spatial and social forms. The example of Montreal can be used to illustrate some of the ways in which these forms manifest themselves. By considering the way in which two particular cultural spaces, namely scene and bohemia, emerge in relation to musical activity, this project analyzes the nature of musicmaking and its role in shaping a unique experience of the city. It frames a case study of Montreal musicmaking to explore the ways in which scenes and bohemias are connected to city life. It also considers the way in which a particular image of the city manifests itself through musicmaking. The collective representation of Montreal as a bohemia by anglophone musicmakers works with and through a number of social divisions and cultural distinctions. It is argued that the nature of place-images and mythology in musicmaking is such that they have a profound effect on the sociomusical experience of the city. Montreal is privileged by many anglophone musicmakers as an ideal city in which to be culturally active, as the city's weak economic state is perceived to foster the conditions best suited to a flourishing bohemia. This project examines the relationship of musicmakers to Montreal, using a variety of research methods and theories. Cognitive mapping, diaristic accounts and interviews are utilized to better apprehend how a chosen image of Montreal affects musical practice. The socioeconomic history of Montreal in the latter half of the twentieth century is used to frame an analysis of the emergence of an independent music scene in the city. By exploring a number of relevant factors, this project documents the ways in which musicmaking is structured in relation to the economic, political and social dimensions of Montreal.

Full textAbstract:
Notre travail, qui centre la représentation symbolique des quatre éléments (terre, eau, air, feu), part de l' « imagination matérielle » de Bachelard en vue d'établir une réflexion équilibrée autour de dynamiques dramaturgiques et littéraires (particulièrement Hugo et Shakespeare) en amont des opéras de Verdi pou r déboucher sur l'analyse de ces derniers, d'un point de vue littéraire et musical. À partir de la mythographie des quatre éléments, diverses figures du temps émergent des livrets verdiens et livrent un parcours symbologique thématique. Ainsi, l'héroïne de La Traviata est confrontée au temps qui fuit, rendu évident par la frénésie musicale du rythme. Au carpe diem impatient s'oppose alors l'émergence de l'amour inévitablement lié à la linéarité du temps de la destinée. Les feux de la passion se distinguent d'une image aérienne de Violetta, qui glisse d'une joie à l'autre en développant un rapport à plusieurs éléments. De manière similaire, une reconstruction analytique de Un ballo in maschera prouve que les personnages demeurent impuissants et superflus face à l'inflexible destin. Le temps accélère ensuite de façon soudainedans Rigoletto au sein d'une image aquatique. Dans cette œuvre, un chronotope de la crise d'empreinte bakhtinien entre en jeu, provoquant un renversement de la direction temporelle et une précipitation du temps imagée dans le rythme hippique du galop. Le temps cristallisé dans Don Carlos dérive pour sa part de l'expérience amoureuse des protagonistes qui se réfugient dans un temps réitérable par le biais du souvenir tandis qu'un autre souvenir igné annonce un retour du temps destructeur dans Il Trovatore. Mais un deuxième régime temporel linéaire où le feu est dévorant prend également forme dans cette œuvre sombre, débouchant sur un mouvement aérien qui est une fuite à la condition terrestre révolue des personnages amoureux. Enfin, les symboles d'un temps dévastateur porteur de mort, dégagés par les ténèbres, sont observables dans Macbeth et Otello, sous-tendus par un même substrat shakespearien. Lemoment de la chute ultime du héros est venu. Comme si l'insoluble tragédie de la source shakespearienne rencontrait par ce biais le pessimisme et le doute artistique d'un Verdi arrivé désormais à maturitéOur work focuses on the symbolic representation of the four elements (earth, water, air, fire) startingfrom Bachelard’s “material imagination” and leading us to reflect upon the dramatic and literary dynamics(from Hugo and Shakespeare especially) upstream of Verdi’s operas in order to analyze them from a bothliterary and musical point of view. From the mythography of the four elements different figurations oftime emerge from the Verdian libretti and allow a symbologic thematic reading.Thus, the Traviata’s heroin is confronted with tempus fugit epitomized by the frenetic musicalrhythm. The impatient carpe diem then contrasts with the advent of love inevitably linked to time’s fatefullinearity. Fires of passion distinguish themselves from the ethereal image of Violetta gliding from one joyto the other playing on a palette of several elements. Similarly, an analytical reconstruction of theBallo in mascherawill prove that the characters are powerless and superfluous in front of inflexible fate. Timethen suddenly speeds up in Rigolettoin the midst of water imagery.In this work, Bakhtin’s “chronotope ofcrisis” comes into play, causing a reversal of the temporal direction and a precipitation of the passing oftime embodied in the horse’ gallop-like concluding rhythm. The crystallized time inDon Carlosoriginatesfrom the lovers’ experience, who find refuge in the repeatable time of memory whereas another memory,infused with fire symbols heralds a return of the devastating time ofIl Trovatore. But a second temporalsystem, linear, where fire is devouring, takes shape in this darker work, leading eventually to an etherealmovement of the lovers’ escape from their already-gone terrestrial condition. Finally, the devastating timebrings forth death inMacbethandOtello, which share an underlying Shakespearean substrate. Thencomes the final fall of the hero. As if the insoluble tragedy of the Shakespearean source met the intimatepessimism and artistic doubts of the mature Giuseppe Verdi
Il nostro lavoro, che s'incentra sulla rappresentazione simbolica dei quattro elementi (terra, acqua, aria,fuoco), parte dall' «immaginazione materiale» di Bachelard in vista di stabilire una riflessione bilanciataintorno a dinamiche drammaturgiche e letterarie (in particolare Hugo e Shakespeare) a monte delle operein musica di Verdi per giungere all'analisi di queste da un punto di vista letterario e musicale. Partendodalla mitografia dei quattro elementi, diverse figure del tempo emergono dai libretti verdiani, svelando unpercorso simbolico tematico. Premesso ciò, l'eroina dellaTraviataè condannata da un tempo che fugge,reso evidente dalla frenesia musicale del ritmo. Alcarpe diemimpaziente si oppone allora l'emergeredell'amore inevitabilmente legato alla linearità del tempo e del destino. I fuochi della passione sicontraddistinguono dall'immagine aerea di Violetta, che scivola da una gioia all'altra sviluppando unrapporto con più elementi. Una ricostruzione analitica delBallo in mascheraprova che i personaggi sonodi fatto impotenti e superflui di fronte all'inflessibile destino. Il tempo accelera poi in modo repentino inRigolettoin seno ad un'immagine acquatica. In questa opera, un cronotopo della crisi d'improntabakhtiniana entra in gioco, provocando un ribaltamento della direzione temporale e una precipitazione deltempo resa nota dal ritmo ippico del galoppo. Il tempo cristallizzato diDon Carlosderiva, dal canto suo,dall'esperienza amorosa dei protagonisti che si rifugiano in un tempo reiterabile per via del ricordo mentreun altro ricordo igneo annuncia un ritorno del tempo distruttore nelTrovatore. Ma un secondo regimetemporale lineare dove il fuoco è insaziabile prende ugualmente vita in questa opera cupa, sfociando in unmovimento aereo che rappresenta una fuga dalla condizione terrestre dei personaggi innamorati. Infine, isimboli di un tempo devastatore messaggero della morte, liberati dalla tenebre, sono riscontrabili inMacbeth e Otello, supportati da uno stesso sostrato shakespeariano. È allora giunto il momento dellacaduta finale dell'eroe. Come se l'insolubile tragedia shakespeariana incontrasse il pessimismo e i dubbiartistici di un Giuseppe Verdi giunto ormai a maturità

Full textAbstract:
Using typologies by Benoit (1995), Seeger (2006), and Heath (2006) this study argues that when an organization encounters multiple complications (e.g., perceived guilt, magnitude of harm, nature of the victims, etc.) compounding a crisis situation, that the organization’s best course of action is to employ atonement rhetoric. Second, this study also argues for the inclusion of a new best practice in crisis communication, which highlights the importance of organizations to recognize the impact visual evidence, especially video footage, has on complicating crisis response while also increasing demand for an appropriate and timely response. To do this the study uses the above typologies as well as Koesten and Rowland (2004) to carry out a rhetorical analysis of the NFL’s response to the Ray Rice crisis. This study finds that the NFL’s crisis response through the first three phases, though using nearly all of Benoit’s (1995) strategies, fails to meet all of Seeger’s (2006) and Heath’s (2006) best practices. It is only through meeting the requirements for atonement set out by Koesten and Rowland (2004) that the NFL meets the recommended best practices and achieves resolution from this crisis.

Full textAbstract:
Crisis thought is an idea that gives a name to and accounts for some of the problematics of the sign crisis in political, social, cultural, and economic discourse. Specifically, crisis thought is a discursive formation, a concept used loosely here to refer to an assemblage of signs such as anxiety or fear that evoke or invoke similar, but inaccurate connotations as crisis in political and everyday usage. The general question this study grapples with is why political, social, cultural, and economic crises are often recognized and, yet, are seemingly unrecognized, unaddressed, or accepted as a basic part of political and ordinary life. This study focuses on the mobilization of crisis thought by the 24/7 news media and throughout politics in the United States. Working outside of economic and Marxist traditions of crisis studies, this study focuses on the effects of crisis thought by way of a critical, interpretive, and interdisciplinary approach. There are two goals of this project. The first is to offer some of the linkages between crisis thought, security, and liberalism. The second goal is to examine through various examples and vignettes how, where, and why crisis thought manifests itself in US politics and in ordinary life. Some topics addressed in this study include: news media, infrastructure, police militarization, mass shootings, US electoral politics, and the alleged US politics of crisis. In the final analysis, this study suggests that 24/7 news media and political mobilizations of crisis thought paradoxically help secure the ontological security of subjectivities as linked to securing security and the logos of liberalism. This study illuminates a peculiar aspect about liberal capitalist democracies: the (re)production of a myriad of crises and, thus, crisis thought, in order to perpetuate itself.Ph. D.

Full textAbstract:
The thesis reveals the main principles of the theatrical chronotope and examines the ways in which it is embodied in the novels of two postmodern authors &ndashThe Magus by John Fowles and England, England by Julian Barnes. These are analyzed as presenting two different variants of texts that employ the theatrical chronotope to exploit its different possible semantic implications. The thesis argues that in The Magus theatricality is employed to convey the author&rsquo
s philosophical and aesthetical thoughts. The main qualities of the theatrical universe, actualized in the novel, are its epistemological potential determining the protagonist&rsquo
s quest in the &ldquo
heuristic mill&rdquo
of the metatheatre, and the multileveled structure of theatrical reality, combining different degrees of conventionality, which serves to posit the question of the relationships of aesthetical and actual reality. In England, England, theatricality is used to investigate the nature of modern society presented as a kind of totalitazing spectacle. Accordingly, the theatrical chronotope is used to construct a simulative reality, manifesting that of the modern society in replacing the actual reality and experience of living with the illusory pseudo-experience of consuming the images of reality and living, in its role-imposing and transforming abilities manipulating both personal and national identity.

Mais do que um evento extraordinário, a crise dos refugiados é signo da violência e da desigualdade como normalidade. Neste sentido, nomear como crise o aumento incessante dos deslocamentos é apenas uma forma de legitimar a violência constante em que vivem parcelas enormes da população mundial, especialmente as mais pobres. O fundamento humanitário do instituto do refúgio é indissociável da gestão global da iniquidade. Nesta primeira dimensão, qualificada como negativa, o instituto de refúgio, fundado em uma concepção de vida sempre diminuída, é apreendido como um dispositivo de controle e docilização. Por meio da distinção e classificação entre refugiados e migrantes, a vida, o direito e a cidadania surgem como bens escassos. De outro lado, sem recusar a tragédia, a crise surge em sua dimensão afirmativa. Nesta perspectiva, as classificações instituídas pelos estados cedem lugar às subjetividades produzidas pelos sujeitos que fogem. Os sujeitos em fuga afirmam o caráter constituinte e ontológico da fuga: atravessam a sobrevivência para afirmar a resistência como fundamento da vida, atribuindo, por meio de sua luta, o valor e a dignidade da própria vida. Simultaneamente à dor, à negatividade e à violência, na fuga existe o desejo positivo por liberdade e democracia. Os sujeitos decidem fugir porque querem viver. Não se trata de recusar a tragédia, mas sim recuperá-la do vazio e da impotência.
The refugee crisis is considered in two main dimensions. On the one hand, it demonstrates that war has become the generalized condition of our time. More than an extraordinary event, the refugee crisis is a sign of the normalization of violence and inequality. In this regard, naming as a crisis the incessant increase of displacement is a way of legitimizing the constant violence in which large portions of the world population live, especially the poorest. The humanitarian foundation of the institution of refuge is inseparable from the global management of iniquity. In this first dimension, qualified as negative, the refuge regime, founded on a conception of always diminished life, is treated as a mechanism of control and docilization. Through the distinction and classification of refugees and migrants, life, rights and citizenship arise as scarce goods. On the other hand, without rejecting this tragedy, the affirmative dimension of the crisis is considered. In this perspective, the classifications established by states give way to the subjectivities produced by the fleeing subjects. They affirm the constitutive and ontological character of the escape: through survival, subjects in escape assert resistance as the foundation of life, giving, through their very struggle, value and dignity to life itself. Concomitant to the pain, negativity and violence, in escape there is a positive desire for freedom and democracy. Escaping subjects decide to flee because they want to live. This is not to deny the tragedy, but reclaim escape from emptiness and impotence.

L'analyse des représentations d'habitats (qui sont considérés comme périphériques d'un point de vue spatial ou symbolique) dans six romans espagnols contemporains se divise en trois temps : une approche descriptive, où nous repérons les caractéristiques de ces demeures ; une deuxième partie axée sur l'interprétation de la notion de périphérie symbolique, sur l'analyse de notions et images récurrentes et sur l'étude des procédés stylistiques ; enfin, un examen des temporalités de l'espace ; où l'observation des rapports entre espace et histoire précède l'analyse des temporalisations de l'espace d'un point de vue "chronotopique", selon la théorie de Bakhtine. Cette analyse met en évidence la conception d'un temps instable, en rupture, un sentiment qui, de même que la dé-centralité du sujet, inscrite dans la nature périphérique des habitats, rappelle la problématique philosophque de la postmodernité et manifeste sa présence dans l'écriture romanesque de la fin du siècle.

Full textAbstract:
Ireland experienced an unprecedented arrival of immigrants during the years of economic prosperity. The new diversity was met with divided public opinion towards non-Irish and an increasingly selective immigration policy. The media, as a main contributor to public discourse, play an important role in the construction of migrant images and therefore have a profound impact on such developments. Employing a combination of quantitative and qualitative content analysis, this study examines whether different immigrant groups have the same chance of favourable or unfavourable portrayal in daily newspapers. Based on the most frequent roles and topics associated with Poles, Nigerians and Chinese, a selection of newspaper articles is subjected to in-depth analysis. The overarching result that there is not one image of the Irish media illustrates how difficult, if not impossible, it is to arrive at findings that can be generalised. Individual newspapers are found to pursuit varying and sometimes covert strategies in the representation of immigrants. It is further shown that immigrants who are perceived as culturally closer to Irishness have a higher chance of favourable portrayal than those who are perceived as culturally more distant. Some commonly accepted perceptions of immigrants are unmasked as myths.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis examines a suspected demographic crisis in Lancashire in the latter years of the 1720s utilising evidence from a wide selection of parish registers and a number of contemporary accounts. Lancashire has proved to be an excellent county to study this crisis given its diverse topographic and economic characteristics, and a division of the county into four regions enhances the understanding of the incidence of crisis. Previously this crisis had been unexplored in Lancashire, with the regional studies conducted in the midlands and to the east of the country. Glimpses of crisis were evident in the forewords of the transcriptions of the parish registers by the Lancashire Parish Register Society and from contemporary accounts. Thus a full study of the parish registers would enhance the knowledge of the crisis in Lancashire. During the undertaking of this study an article considering the experience of the Lancashire crisis was published, which has provided a number of suppositions which this study explores in greater detail. In considering the data provided by the parish registers, the study explores a number of observations; a subsistence caused by harvest failures and disease, with the countryside being greatly affected. That the experience of crisis was socially selective in which the older members of the community formed the majority of the burials and that the poor and vulnerable were hardest hit Consideration of the experience of crisis is best explored through the review of one community that recorded exceptionally high levels of modality and had not only detailed registers but a record of the poor accounts.

Full textAbstract:
The growth of social media has set demands on organizations to be online and interact with stakeholders, especially during a crisis. The public are no longer seen as passive receivers of marketing messages. Previous studies have shown that the need for information increases during a crisis. Social media can be a powerful tool if is used strategically. This case study looks deeper into Oxfam’s 2018 Haiti sexual exploitation scandal, as an attempt to understand how organizations communicate on social media during a crisis. By co-applying multimodal critical discourse analysis (MCDA) and the social-mediated crisis communication (SMCC) model, a broader understanding of how the crisis was handled can be developed. The data consists of four Instagram posts that will be analyzed, drawing upon four multimodal frameworks from Machin (2017): Iconography: the ‘hidden meanings’ of images; The meaning of color in visual design; The meaning of typography; and Representation of social actors in images. In order to obtain a broader picture of the strategies, key public and relationships, the components of the SMCC model will be identified and presented for this case. The result of this study shows that multiple response strategies have been used to communicate both tailored messages and unified organizational messages. It is apparent that Oxfam did not have a clear strategy and altered between apologizing, “blaming” individuals within the organization and distancing themselves from the crisis.

(Autumn Marathon, Georgi Daneliya, 1979), and Ironiya
Sudby, ili S lyogkim parom (Irony of Fate, Eldar
Ryazanov, 1975), and how they relate to both
conventions of romance and conventions of the
mainstream traditions of the romantic comedy genre.
The text explores the evolution of the genre and
accompanying theoretic writings, and relates them to
the Soviet films, focusing largely on the conventions
that can be grouped under an idea of the romantic
chronotope. The discussion includes the conventions of
chance and fate, of the wrong partner, the happy
ending, the temporary and carnevalesque nature of
romance, multiple levels of discourse, and some
aspects of gender, class and power. In addition, some
attention is paid to the ways in which the films
connect to specific genre cycles, such as screwball
comedy and comedy of remarriage, and to the
implications that a communist system may have on the
possibilities of love and romance. The author argues
that Soviet and Hollywood films share many conventions
of romance, but for differing reasons.

Este trabalho versa sobre o funk carioca, encarado como manifestação do hip hop contemporâneo. Para compreender esse movimento, propõe-se a analisar as letras do SLA Funk de Fernanda Abreu (FA) por meio da isotopia da busca por um pertencimento. Revelam-se, no desenvolvimento dessa procura, três componentes: o baile, caracterizado como rito dionisíaco; a antropofagia; e a metalinguagem. Os cronótopos do encontro e do carnaval, bem como a intertextualidade, compõem as canções de FA e caracterizam a relação sujeito-espaço-tempo nelas existente. Para atingir seu objetivo, a pesquisa fundamenta-se, principalmente, nas noções bakhtinianas de diálogo, carnavalização e cronótopo. Os resultados mostram que o tema de constituição das canções analisadas é o prazer realizado nos bailes da pesada. Os sujeitos das canções de FA tentam explicitar, metalingüisticamente, o caráter carnavalesco do baile funk. No universo do hip hop carioca das canções de FA, o corpo aparece retratado como fonte de poder que constitui as mais diversas relações entre os sujeitos. As SLAs representam a cultura do funk por manterem, em seus enunciados, um elo entre discursos e realidade, ao retratarem o baile e seu culto à diversão e ao prazer. Este, adquirido por meio do movimento (suingue) do corpo que dança, canta e encanta. No embalo dos ouvidos e dos movimentos dos corpos, as canções acabam por sustentar e promover um universo da cultura funk: um mundo composto pela liberação do prazer carnal. Assim, as canções de FA levam a conhecer o universo do funk carioca por manifestarem, em seus enunciados, um modo de ser e de sentir.
This research runs upon carioca funk, known as a manifestation of contemporary hip hop. To understand this movement, we would analyze the lyrics of SLA Funk by Fernanda Abreu (FA) through the isotopy of a social belonging search. Three components are revealed during this search: the ball, characterized as a Dionysian ritual; the anthropophagy, and melalanguage. The chronotopes of the meeting and the carnival, as well as the intertextuality, compose FA's songs and characterize the existing relation among subject, space and time. To achieve its objective, the research is, mainly, based on Bakhtinian notions of dialogue, carnavalization and chronotope. The results show that the constitution theme of the analyzed songs is the pleasure realized in Heavy Balls. The subjects of FA's songs try to make explicit, metalinguistically, the carnival character of a funk ball. In the universe of carioca hip hop FA's songs, the body is portrayed as the source of power that constitutes the most diverse relations among subjects. The SLAs represent the culture of funk by maintaining in its statements, a link between discourse and reality, as they portray the ball and its worship to amusement and pleasure, acquired by the movement (swing) of the body that dances, sings and enchants. In the rocking of ears and the bodies' movement, the songs support and promote a universe of funk culture: a world composed of the liberation of carnal pleasure. So, FA's songs reveal the universe of carioca funk by expressing, in its statements, a way of being and of feeling.

Santana, Guilherme Guimrães. "Crisis management : towards a model for the hotel industry : an examination of crisis preparedness and stakeholder relationships in crisis situations." Thesis, Bournemouth University, 1997. http://eprints.bournemouth.ac.uk/299/.
Full textAbstract:
Crises are inevitable. There is no way to prevent all crises from happening. In fact, in today's business environment crises are an integral part of organizational life. Crisis situations are by nature novel, unstructured, frameworks. Crises are sudden, acute, and demand a timely response. Most man-made crises are in principle preventable. Crisis management is a new field of research that addresses the problems of dealing with crises, and the stress that accompanies crises. Crisis management involves efforts to prevent crises from occurring; to prepare for a better protection against the impact of a crisis agent; to make for an effective response to an actual crisis; and to provide plans and resources for recovery and rehabilitation in the aftermath of a crisis. It is no longer enough to consider "if" a crisis will happen but rather "when" a crisis will occur, "which type", and "how". There is no doubt that the travel and tourism industry is especially susceptible and vulnerable to crises. It is argued that the hotel industry, given its operational characteristics, management practices (which is strongly influenced by long established traditions), and its operating environment, is even more prone to crises. However, very little has been done to understand crisis (that is, how a crisis evolves, crisis typology, anatomy, and management of crisis). This study describes and discusses all major relevant elements and issues to the emerging field of crisis management. Within the domain of crisis management theory, the study describes and elaborates on critical issues such as crisis typology, anatomy of crisis, crisis planning and training, crisis decision making, crisis communication, and crisis management. It is argued in this study that organizational culture is the most fundamental element in crisis preparedness. That is, organizational culture, not organization structure, size, financial history, etc., is the main determinant of crisis preparedness. The research also argue that stakeholders are fundamental in crisis prevention, crisis management and crisis recovery. 2 This study, in a first instance, examines the crisis preparedness of 33 of the 50 top hotel organizations operating in the UK (HCIMA, 1995). Crisis preparedness is examined in the light of organizational culture. For that, top executives in those organizations were interviewed and responded to two questionnaires. A crisis preparedness framework (or continuum) was derived from the application of factor analysis on the questionnaire data. The results suggest that the hotel industry is not prepared for crises. Given that a crisis is a multi-stakeholder phenomenon (it inevitably involves other agents) this study also explores, building upon the results obtained from the crisis preparedness continuum, the notion of stakeholders relationships in crisis situations. More specifically, the research proposition states that organizations that are crisis "prepared" are more consistent on their opinions about stakeholders' role and behaviour in crisis situations than those organizations that are not prepared for crises. The study confirmed both the research question and proposition. The study also presents an operational definition of crisis management and proposes a model for crisis management.

Full textAbstract:
L'apparition de crises majeures illustre d'une part la forte intensité de ces événements, mais aussi la complexité et l'interdépendance croissantes des systèmes, qui se traduisent par un plus grand nombre d'organisations touchées. De nos jours, de nombreux événements sont considérés comme des crises, alors qu'il ne peut s'agir que d'une urgence. Cette utilisation du terme «crise» peut être contre-productive car, en raison de sa nature unique, la crise nécessite des capacités spéciales telles que l'adaptation, contrairement aux événements dans le domaine de la gestion des urgences qui nécessitent l'application d'une procédure. Pour réduire le risque de crises majeures, la prévention et la protection sont nécessaires. Cependant, toutes les situations ne sont pas prévisibles et pour cette raison, les organisations exposées doivent être préparées. Pour préparer et améliorer l'expérience des gestionnaires de crise, la simulation apparaît comme une solution. Les simulations de crise permettent de sensibiliser les organisations aux situations de crise et de leur permettre d'acquérir de l'expérience en les plaçant dans un environnement virtuel qui essaie de reproduire au maximum les conditions réelles. L'objectif de reproduire la situation aussi fidèlement que possible est nécessaire, mais il n'existe aucune méthode de vérification/validation pour s'assurer que la méthode de simulation est vraiment efficace. De plus, la majorité des simulateurs de crise existants visent à atteindre un objectif pédagogique adressé aux personnes impliquées dans des situations d'urgence ou de crise. Toutefois, en raison de la nature complexe des situations de crise, il est dans l'intérêt de procéder à des simulations de crise pour enquêter sur la crise elle-même. Dans ce contexte, nous nous proposons de nous interroger sur la capacité de l'approche de simulation de crise iCrisis à placer les managers stratégiques dans une situation aux caractéristiques similaires à celles d'une «crise réelle». Cette approche intéressante dans le cadre des objectifs pédagogiques donnés permet également de s'ouvrir à des objectifs moins connus pour les simulateurs de crise : atteindre des objectifs scientifiques. En effet, un tel système permet-il aussi d'étudier certains aspects de la crise ? A travers ce manuscrit, nous tenterons de contribuer à la réflexion sur ces deux aspects. Pour donner des éléments de réponse à ces questions, ce manuscrit propose 5 chapitres : - Le chapitre 1 vise à comprendre le positionnement du concept de crise par rapport au concept d'urgence. - Le chapitre 2 est consacré à la définition de la crise qui est utilisée dans la recherche. - Le chapitre 3 traite de la méthodologie de recherche en mettant l'accent sur la simulation iCrisis. - Le chapitre 4 présente l'étude qui a consisté à observer si les participants aux simulations iCrisis ont vécu les caractéristiques d'une crise réelle. - Le chapitre 5 présente deux études qui ont été réalisées. L'une concerne l'évaluation de la charge mentale et. Le second concerne le test d'utilisation d'un outil qui évalue les effets en cascade. La recherche a permis de clarifier la différence entre urgence et crise, puis de proposer une définition de la crise à partir de ses caractéristiques. Elle a également permis de concrétiser l'approche de simulation de crise iCrisis qui est décrite avec précision. Le deuxième résultat important est la présentation de l'étude l'étude qui avait pour but d'observer que les caractéristiques de la crise sont bien observables lors d'une simulation iCrisis. Enfin, nous démontrons que les études sur les questions appliquées à la crise peuvent être réalisées avec iCrisis et donner des résultatsThe emergence of major crises illustrates, on the one hand, the high intensity of these events, but also the increasing complexity and interdependence of systems, which are resulting in a larger number of affected organizations. Nowadays, many events are considered as crises, whereas they can only be emergencies. This use of the term «crisis» can be counterproductive because, due to its unique nature, the crisis requires special capabilities such as adaptation, unlike events in the field of emergency management that require the application of a procedure. To reduce the risk of major crises, prevention and protection are necessary. However, not all situations are predictable and for this reason, the organizations exposed must be prepared. To prepare and improve the experience of crisis managers, simulation appears to be a solution. Stress simulations raise awareness of crisis situations and allow organizations to gain experience by placing them in a virtual environment that tries to reproduce real conditions as much as possible. The objective of reproducing the situation as accurately as possible is necessary, but there is no verification/validation method to ensure that the simulation method is really effective. In addition, the majority of existing crisis simulators aim to achieve an educational objective for people involved in emergency or crisis situations. However, due to the complex nature of crisis situations, it is in the interest of conducting stress tests to investigate the crisis itself. In this context, we propose to question the ability of the iCrisis crisis simulation approach to place strategic managers in a situation with similar characteristics to those of a «real crisis». This interesting approach within the framework of the given pedagogical objectives also makes it possible to open up to objectives less known for crisis simulators: to achieve scientific objectives. Indeed, does such a system also make it possible to study certain aspects of the crisis? Through this manuscript, we will try to contribute to the reflection on these two aspects. To provide some answers to these questions, this manuscript proposes 5 chapters: - Chapter 1 aims to understand the positioning of the concept of crisis in relation to the concept of urgency. - Chapter 2 is devoted to the definition of the crisis that is used in research. - Chapter 3 discusses the research methodology with an emphasis on iCrisis simulation. - Chapter 4 presents the study that examined whether participants in iCrisis simulations experienced the characteristics of a real crisis. - Chapter 5 presents two studies that have been conducted. One concerns the assessment of mental workload and. The second is to test the use of a tool that evaluates cascading effects. The research made it possible to clarify the difference between emergency and crisis, and then to propose a definition of the crisis based on its characteristics. It also made it possible to implement the iCrisis crisis simulation approach, which is precisely described. The second important result is the presentation of the study the study which aimed to observe that the characteristics of the crisis are well observable during an iCrisis simulation. Finally, we demonstrate that studies on issues applied to the crisis can be conducted with iCrisis and yield results

This study generates an overview of the 1997 Asian financial crisis, from its causes to the consequences. At the same time, it examines the context of the crisis, which includes the review of historical Asian development and the role of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) in the financial crisis. Particular attention is given to the crisis‘ impact on the local economy and people. In this it differs from existing research that analyses the impact on its own, this study links the crisis‘ impact to the foreign direct investment (FDI). The impact of the crisis, therefore, is reflected by examining the control power of the FDI money. It examines the crisis‘ impact through focusing on a unique angle of the two elements in the crisis – danger and opportunity. The results show that the social impact of the crisis put local people in danger of unemployment, underemployment, falling real wages and growing social inequality and lowered land and commodity prices, which dramatically reduced the cost of production. Accordingly, the control power of the FDI money increased extensively in the crisis, which represents the increasing danger of unfair exploitation of local labour and enclosure of land and resources which can be seen as opportunities beneficial to the international capitalists.

Full textAbstract:
Nowadays, there is a growing need to consider crisis management in organizations due to an increased occurrence of crises in our society. Manufacturing organizations are often affected by crises due to their supply chain reliance and many small-medium sized enterprises (SMEs) do not have the resources to work with crisis management. There is an identified lack of research regarding how manufacturing SMEs work with crisis management and how the particularities of the manufacturing industry and the specific characteristics and reliance of resources of SMEs can affect crisis management. The purpose of this thesis is to increase the understanding of strategic crisis management in manufacturing SMEs. The thesis outlines different strategic crisis management models which includes the crisis processes of detection, occurrence, and recovery. To understand the practices of manufacturing SMEs, a qualitative study was conducted through 8 eight semi-structured interviews with respondents from Sweden and Switzerland. The thesis discuss the findings of the crisis management carried out by the manufacturing SMEs and existing crisis management models for SMEs and Chinese large- and medium-sized manufacturing enterprises (CLMMEs). The paper concludes that manufacturing SMEs are affected economically by the Covid-19 pandemic crisis. The most common impacts include a decrease in orders and delivery delays. Furthermore, the research provides a contribution to the understanding of how manufacturing SMEs deal and work with crises. The most identified practices were market diversification, active communication with stakeholders, cost reduction and crisis recap.Findings also showed that manufacturing SMEs worked with pre-event planning as an essential part of their crisis management. The paper further proposes a strategic crisis management model for manufacturing SMEs.

Full textAbstract:
The subject for this thesis was the Mohawk Crisis at Oka, Quebec during the summer of 1990. The theoretical framework underlining the study was Antonio Gramsci's concept of a crisis of hegemony or legitimation crisis as applied by Stuart Hall et al. (1978). Within this theoretical framework the media are viewed as an ideological mechanism perpetuating the existing hegemonic relationship. The research undertook to apply this social theory to the Mohawk Crisis and examine the ideological discourse in the media coverage of the Crisis. Press reports taken from the Globe and Mail and Montreal Gazette were analyzed using quantitative content analysis and a qualitative exploratory technique. The following two general theses were examined: firstly, that ideological discourse would be apparent in media coverage of the 1990 Mohawk Crisis and, secondly, that the media supported an official 'law and order' campaign during the Mohawk Crisis. Further, two more specific hypotheses were tested in individual chapters which present the results of the quantitative content analysis. (Abstract shortened by UMI.)

Full textAbstract:
Dans les deux romans, à partir d’un simple remue-ménage de locataires dans un immeuble situé à Paris, apparaissent d’autres aspects beaucoup plus mystérieux que ceux que l’on attend d’un simple récit réaliste. Zola et Butor nourrissent leurs textes d’une forte dose d’imagination et de symbolisme. Nous sommes partie d’une analyse des deux récits qui décrivent d’abord le réseau compliqué de liens établis dans cette maison parisienne. Il s’agit, dans ce sens, d’une peinture sociale des rapports problématiques qui se tissent entre les personnages dans chaque livre. L’analyse psychologique nous mène à une analyse des lieux, à une étude de l’espace et du temps et de l’influence de leur interaction sur les personnages des deux immeubles. Nous dépassons ensuite cette équation spatiotemporelle pour jeter sur les deux récits un autre regard purement mythique. En analysant la dimension mythique qui se cache sous ces deux récits, nous dégageons, à partir des images ambivalentes, voire conflictuelles, un hymne chanté par les deux écrivains pour l’équilibre vital, l’harmonie universelle et la plénitude humaineIn the two novels, from a simple commotion of tenants in a Paris block of flats, come to light aspects much more mysterious than those expected from a simple realist story. Zola and Butor nurture their text on a strong touch of imagination and symbolism. We started from an analysis of two stories describing first the complicated network of established links in this Paris house. So, it’s a matter of social portrait of problematical relationships between characters in each book. Psychological analysis leads us to an analysis of the places, to a space and time study and to the influence of their interaction on characters from the block of flats. After, we surpass this spatiotemporal equation to have a look purely mythical at the two stories. Analysing mythical dimension hidden in these two stories, we draw, from ambivalents pictures, indeed conflicting, an hymn song by the two authors to vital equilibrium, universal harmony and human plenitude

Full textAbstract:
Our aim is to investigate and evaluate the efficiency of crisis management in European aviation, and to recommend enhancements. To fulfill this, we mapped the current crisis management plans and created a fictive scenario where a cyber-attack shut down the power at five of the major airports in Europe. Air traffic in Europe was reconstructed to a chosen day; the 16th of September 2013, and the reconstructed traffic situation was used in the scenario. We also created a model, for the purpose of showing the effect of a cut in time for the steps in the crisis management plan may have on the traffic waiting to depart at the closed airports. When using these means, we could implement the crisis management plans on the fictive scenario and make changes to the plans for a new implementation. The existing crisis management plans were compared to the modified plans made by us, and it was found that usage of a common platform for the different stakeholders involved in the crisis could improve the efficiency of the crisis management.

Full textAbstract:
This study applies the ICB model of state behavior in international crisis to one actor, Italy, in the 1953 Trieste crisis. At the historical level it reconstructs in detail, through recently declassified American and Italian documents, the flow of events from mid-1951 until October 5, 1954 when the signing of the so-called Memorandum of Understanding solved the Trieste question. At the theoretical level, it seeks to determine the impact of crisis-induced stress on the coping processes and choice patterns of Italian decision-makers. The findings confirm the major hypothesis (advanced by Holsti and George) about the stress-performance nexus, namely that "moderate" levels of stress improve decision-making performance while "high" stress might impair it. A modification of the definition of foreign policy crisis adopted by the ICB model is also suggested.
