A Review on Liposomes in Cosmetics
Authors: Tanmesh Dethe , Siddheshwar S. S.
Published: August 2024

Targeted drug delivery, particularly in the field of cosmeceutics, aims to localize pharmacologically active components at specific targets in the skin while minimizing access to non-targeted areas. Liposomes, spherical vesicles composed of phospholipids and cholesterol, have emerged as promising carriers for drug delivery due to their ability to encapsulate both hydrophilic and lipophilic drugs. They can merge with cell membranes, facilitating direct delivery of contents to targeted cells. Liposomal drug formulations have shown significant advantages in topical applications, particularly in dermatology and cosmetics. This article discusses the advantages of using liposomes in drug delivery, including the avoidance of systemic absorption and serious side effects, enhanced drug accumulation at the skin, and ease of scaling up production. Liposomes have been studied in various cosmeceutical applications, including acne treatment, hyperpigmentation and melasma, vitiligo, alopecia, and as antioxidants and UV protectants. Studies have shown the efficacy of liposomal formulations in improving therapeutic activity compared to non-liposomal counterparts, making them promising candidates for enhancing the effectiveness of cosmeceutical treatments.
Deep Learning based Fault Detection and Classification in Electric Circuits.
Authors: Balakumar Muniandi
Published: August 2024

The reliability and efficiency of electric circuits are paramount in power systems, necessitating advanced methods for fault detection and classification. Traditional techniques, such as rule-based systems and statistical analysis, often struggle with the complex and nonlinear data patterns prevalent in electrical networks. This paper explores the application of deep learning to address these challenges, presenting a novel approach for fault detection and classification in electric circuits. We employ convolutional neural networks (CNNs) to extract spatial features and recurrent neural networks (RNNs) to capture temporal dependencies, creating a hybrid model that enhances fault diagnosis accuracy. The proposed model is trained and validated on a comprehensive dataset, encompassing various fault types and conditions. Furthermore, the robustness of the model is tested against noise and variations in operating conditions, proving its reliability in real-world applications. This study underscores the importance of integrating advanced machine learning techniques into power system monitoring and control, paving the way for more resilient and intelligent electric infrastructures. The findings highlight deep learning's promise in enhancing fault detection and classification, ultimately contributing to improved system reliability and reduced downtime in electric power networks.

Authors:   Korea Safety Culture Society, Hong Eun Young , Gu Hye Ja
Published: August 2024

Purpose: This study was attempted to investigate the relationship between the prevalence of metabolic syndrome and the age of menopause in middle-aged Korean women using data from The Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (Ⅸ-1, 2022). Method: The number of subjects was 1,337, and complex sample frequency, descriptive statistics, cross and logistic regression analysis were conducted using IBM SPSS Statistics 26. Results: The prevalence of metabolic syndrome in subjects who adjusted for sociodemographic and health-related characteristics simultaneously did not show a significant relationship with menopausal age. Early menopause was significantly lower by 0.30 times in high school graduates and 0.28 times lower in those with low fasting blood sugar levels, and significantly increased by 6.75 times, 4.44 times, and 2.72 times in low, middle, and non-single-person households, respectively. Late menopause was found to significantly increase 2.28 times in those with an education level of elementary school or less, 4.93 times in those with low income level, 3.85 times in those with middle income, and 2.87 times in those without binge drinking. Conclusion: Interventions that takes into account those with low levels of education or income should be prepared to prevent premature or late menopause. To manage early menopause, fasting blood sugar levels must be managed and family and social attention must be maintained for middle-aged women. To manage late menopause, personal practice of maintaining appropriate drinking habits is necessary.
A study on the status of safety and health education for special types of workers and improvement measures
Authors:   Korea Safety Culture Society, Kim Nam Kyun , Choi Yoon Seok
Published: August 2024

In order to protect special types of workers, the government is requiring safety and health education for special types of workers by revising the Enforcement Decree of the Industrial Safety And Health Act. But the actual effect of education is insufficient due to the lack of educational infrastructure and the characteristics of the occupation such as the diversity of labor provision for special types of workers and easy job change. This study is a basic study on measures to revitalize safety and health education to protect special types of workers, and improvements were derived based on a fact-finding survey. A survey was conducted on the status and awareness of safety and health education completion for 300 workers in each occupations and problems with the current system and areas for improvement were identified through frequency analysis. The survey results were subjected to frequency analysis to identify problems and areas for improvement in the current system. As a result of the survey, excessive completion of overlapping training and limited supply of training were identified as factors that reduce the effectiveness of safety and health education according to the occupational characteristics of special types of workers. Accordingly, as a way to improve the problem of overlapping completions a cross-recognition plan for training completion with other laws and a training completion certification system were proposed. In addition, as a way to improve the problems caused by the limited supply of education, a plan to diversify education and improve quality by easing some of the registration requirements for private educational institutions was presented. As the results of this study focus on the opinions of workers, it is judged that additional verification of the effectiveness of educational measures should be conducted. If the results are supplemented through future system analysis and improvement research centered on safety and health education experts, it is believed that it will be possible to contribute to the protection of special types of workers through a more specific and effective safety and health education system.
Verification of the impact of emotional maturity on negative perceptions of whistleblowers, the mediating effects of perspective-taking and emotional concern, and the moderating effect of gender
Authors:   Korea Safety Culture Society, Lee Won June , Lee Hee Jin
Published: August 2024

The aim of this study is to reveal how the level of emotional maturity and concern among social members affects their perception of whistleblowers. Based on this, it seeks ways to establish an appropriate perception of whistleblowers. Data for the study were collected through a survey and analyzed using SPSS 25.0, AMOS 25.0, and Mplus 8.5, employing the Structural Equation Model (SEM). The findings are as follows: First, the direct effect of emotional maturity on reducing negative perceptions of whistleblowers is confirmed only among men. Emotional maturity have a positive effect on the reduction of men's negative perceptions of whistleblowers through enhanced emotional concern, and the partial mediating effect of emotional concern has been verified. Second, for women, emotional maturity positively influences the reduction of negative perceptions of whistleblowers through enhanced emotional concern. However, the direct effect of emotional concern on reducing negative perceptions of whistleblowers is not statistically significant, indicating the full mediating effect of emotional concern. These results suggest that interventions aimed at reducing negative perceptions of whistleblowers by enhancing emotional maturity are more effective for men than for women. Furthermore, the findings imply that emotional concern is a crucial psychological characteristic for reducing women's negative perceptions of whistleblowers through emotional maturity.
Impact of Haulage Transportation on Service Delivery: Evidence from Nigeria
Authors: Ogbeide Augustine Isike
Published: August 2024

This study investigates the impact of haulage transportation on service delivery in Nigeria employing survey evidence from GPC Energy and Logistics Ltd.  Haulage transportation was captured by cost of haulage, productivity, and quality. The role of supply chain management (SCM) was measured by customer relationship, degree and quality of information sharing, and services delay. The survey involved a sample population of 310 respondents disaggregated into 110 staff and 200 customers of GPC Energy and Logistics Ltd., using a systematically developed questionnaire in 2022. The locations cut across Abuja, Lagos, Aba, Onitsha and Otta, in Nigeria. The data analysis includes descriptive and inferential statistics of mean ratings and binary logit regression model among others. The mean ratings showed that respondents affirmed that all the indicators of haulage transportation affect service delivery. The respondents also identified turnaround per prime mover and total number of trips per driver as the determinants of service delivery. The estimated logistics model revealed that cost of haulage and productivity of operations increased service delivery potential. It also found that logistics regression increases SCM, implying that customer relationship and degree of information sharing increases the possibility of service delivery. The marginal effects results demonstrated that increase in haulage transportation increases the probability of service delivery. Given these findings, this study recommends among others, that the management of GPC Energy and Logistics Ltd., should prioritize transport management in its haulage operations to increase overall cost efficiency and reduce lead time to create more opportunities for sustainable service delivery in Nigeria.
Kafka, Jones, and Michelangelo
Authors: Zheng Aili
Published: August 2024

In Kafka’s parable “Vor dem Gesetz” (Before the law), a gate leads from a space of ordinary appearances to a very different domain referred to as the law. Concrete details are thus juxtaposed with an elusive abstraction. Though woven into the narratives, such transitional structures and labyrinthine environments give Kafka’s texts an enigmatic quality that has invited numerous interpretations as political, existential, and religious allegories. This article considers how film adaptations by Orson Welles and David Jones assimilate these spatial tropes, thereby revealing the discursive agenda for each production.

El Camal Municipal del Cantón La Joya de Los Sachas procesa bovinos y porcinos, generando aguas residuales con alta carga orgánica contaminante. Este estudio evaluó la eficacia del método de electrocoagulación (EC) a escala de laboratorio para tratar estas aguas residuales. Utilizando un diseño experimental factorial 4X2 con un total de 8 pruebas experimentales, la investigación se dividió en tres fases. La fase I analizó los parámetros fisicoquímicos y biológicos del agua residual. En la fase II se evaluó la eficacia de la electrocoagulación, y en la fase III se compararon los resultados con los límites máximos permisibles de la Norma de Calidad Ambiental y Descarga de Efluentes al Recurso Agua (TULSMA, LIBRO VI ANEXO 1). Los resultados mostraron porcentajes de remoción destacables en Conductividad Eléctrica (54,82%), DQO (68,13%), DBO (68,45%), Sólidos Totales Suspendidos (63,64%) y Turbidez (73,80%). Análisis estadísticos de Wilcoxon confirmaron la significancia de las diferencias entre condiciones iniciales y post-tratamiento. Aunque la electrocoagulación mostró capacidad de reducir la carga contaminante, los resultados no cumplieron con los límites máximos permisibles establecidos por la norma vigente.

Historical research in the Canary Islands throughout the 20th century, and more specifically, Gran Canarian historiography, has had an important advocate in the figure of Sebastián Jiménez Sánchez. His imprint and legacy, imbued with contemporary currents of late regionalism, historicism and Hispanicism —with their intrinsic values of religiosity and conservatism—, marked a trend in the events of those who were interested in the past of Gran Canaria and the province of Las Palmas, its historical-artistic heritage and its traditions.

A continuing nuisance: Jalla v Shell International Trading and Shipping Company Ltd [2023] UKSC 16
Authors: McManus Francis
Published: August 2024

In Jalla the Supreme Court was required to decide whether the damage, which had been caused to the claimants’ land by the continued presence of oil on the land, which in turn had been caused by a spill from the defendants’ oil pipeline, constituted a continuing nuisance, the upshot of which was that a continuing cause of action accrued afresh from day to day. The court held that a continuing nuisance was a nuisance which continued day after day, or on another regular basis. In such cases, the cause of action continued afresh on a continuing basis. However, in Jalla the court held that there was no continuing nuisance, on the grounds that there was no repeated activity, or continuing state of affairs, which had been caused by the defendants. Rather, the leak was a one-off event, or isolated escape, which had been caused by the defendants. The cause of action was complete once the claimants’ land was affected by the oil spill. In short, there was no continuing cause of action for as long as the oil remained on the claimants’ land. Whereas the presence of the oil on the claimants’ land may have ranked as a ‘nuisance’ in common parlance, the continuing presence of the oil on the land did not rank as a nuisance in law. The author concludes that Jalla illustrates the confusion which stems from the fact that the concept of nuisance is not clearly defined.
Inheriting the royals: royal chartered bodies in Ireland after 1922
Authors: Biggins John
Published: August 2024

The establishment of the Irish Free State (Saorstát Éireann) in 1922 did not occur on a blank canvas. A slew of administrative bodies and agencies with pre-1922 origins now found themselves under a new jurisdiction, still familiar in some respects but alien in others. The Irish State Administration Database indicates that the functions performed by these pre-1922 bodies included the delivery of public services and regulatory oversight. The resilience of pre-1922 bodies arguably ensured a greater degree of day-to-day administrative continuity and stability after 1922 than may otherwise have been the case.This article focuses on a particular subset of these pre-1922 entities – royal chartered bodies – carried into Saorstát Éireann and beyond. Of special interest are the peculiar legal mechanisms through which these bodies were sustained in an altered constitutional landscape. The discontinuation of a pre-1922 royal prerogative to grant and amend royal charters presented legal conundrums for royal chartered bodies and the state. This was mitigated through a mixture of tailored public and private legislation of the Oireachtas. These dynamics are interrogated through the lenses of temporality and legal pluralism.

Hakikat Kemiskinan Menurut Montfort Dan Relevansinya Bagi Kehidupan Umat Katolik Di Indonesia
Authors: Syukur Yakobus , Firmanto Antonius Denny
Published: August 2024

This research aims to explore the nature of poverty according to Montfort and its relevance to the lives of Catholic communities in Indonesia. Poverty is often associated with living in discomfort, injustice, unhappiness, a life of scarcity, and a lack of material wealth to meet one's needs. This common paradigm needs to be examined more deeply using the surgical tool of the nature or spirituality of poverty according to Montfort. The research employs a literature review methodology. The study reveals that Montfort's spirituality of poverty highlights the ability to fulfill responsibilities and live responsibly, especially by engaging with others and paying attention to the needs of many, particularly those who are poor and marginalized. The use of material wealth is emphasized not for worldly pleasures but as a necessary means to support life. The relevance of Montfort's teachings in the context of how Catholics in Indonesia experience their religious life can be seen in three essential attitudes. Firstly, poverty is considered a means to attain holiness. Secondly, poverty is viewed as an effort in service and solidarity. Thirdly, poverty is seen as a means to guide the community towards the virtues of spiritual life. Keywords: God; Catholic church; poverty; humanit; MontfortAbstrak Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengeksplorasi hakikat kemiskinan menurut Montfort dan relevansinya bagi kehidupan umat Katolik Indonesia. Kemiskinan kerapkali diidentikkan dengan hidup dalam ketidakadilan, ketidakbahagiaan, hidup yang serba kekurangan, serta hidup yang tidak berharta (hartanya tidak mencukupi kebutuhannya). Paradigma umum ini perlu dikaji lebih dalam dengan menggunakan pisau bedah hakikat atau spiritualitas kemiskinan menurut Montfort. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode penelitian kepustakaan. Kajian ini menemukan bahwa spiritualitas kemiskinan menurut Montfort menunjukkan kesanggupan untuk menjalankan tugas dan hidup secara bertanggung jawab, terlebih terpanggil untuk terlibat dalam hidup dengan orang lain serta menaruh perhatian kepada kebutuhan banyak orang, khususnya bagi mereka yang miskin dan terlantar serta dalam penggunaan harta benda bukan untuk menjadi kesenangan duniawi melainkan diperlukan untuk menunjang hidup. Relevansi ajaran Montfort dalam konteks bagaimana umat Katolik di Indonesia menghayati kehidupan agamanya dapat dilihat dalam tiga sikap penting. Pertama, kemiskinan merupakan sarana menuju kekudusan. Kedua, kemiskinan adalah upaya pelayanan dan solidaritas. Ketiga, kemiskinan adalah sarana untuk menghantar umat kepada keutamaan hidup rohani.Kata Kunci: Allah; gereja katolik; kemiskinan; manusia; Montfort

Many teaching methods are applied in the world of education with the hope that these methods can provide maximum results that affect students' learning motivation. However, in reality, some teaching methods are less favored by students. Many students tend to get bored with monotonous teaching and learning styles. This is also one of the challenges in the world of education in Indonesia, which is the ineffectiveness of the learning process. Lecturers often use monotonous and unvaried methods, resulting in a lack of motivation for students to develop their thinking skills. Seeing the imbalance between lecturers' teaching methods and students' motivation in learning, it is necessary to make changes in terms of teaching methods or student motivation. What is the role of lecturers in developing their teaching methods to improve students' learning motivation? The result of this study is that lecturers play an important role in developing teaching methods to improve students' learning motivation, such as the role of a coach, counselor, leader, facilitator, manager, motivator, administrator, modernizer, scientist, and builder.Keywords: Teaching Methods, Learning Motivation, Education, Theological CollegeAbstrakBanyak metode-metode mengajar yang diterapkan dalam dunia pendidikan dengan harapan metode tersebut dapat memberikan hasil yang maksimal di mana berpengaruh terhadap motivasi belajar mahasiswa.

Gram positive bacteria and their distributions according anatomical site in oral cavity and effects on oral health
Authors: Abdulhadi Ali M Hussein , Amer Iqbal , Mohammed Mariam Khalil
Published: August 2024

A healthy adult's body is thought to contain ten times more microorganisms than human cells. These include a wide variety of bacteria, fungi, viruses, and archaea. The Human Microbiome Project (HMP), recently launched by the National Institutes of Health, emphasizes how critical it is to characterize human microbiota in order to comprehend health and illness. An imbalance in the usual microbiota or alterations in colonization sites may be the cause of the illness. A wide variety of infectious disorders are frequently intimately associated with oral bacteria, as the mouth is home to a complex, diverse, and prolific microbial population. Because they negatively impact people individually, in groups, and throughout society, oral disorders are a significant public health problem.
The Real 'Hard Problem' of Consciousness: Where Do Thoughts Come From, if Not the Brain?
Authors: Cunningham Paul F.
Published: August 2024

This article argues that contemporary debates of the 'hard problem' of consciousness (i.e.how does 'mindless' matter produce 'matterless' mind?) cannot be resolved through philosophical analysis alone and need to be anchored to a comprehensive empirical foundation that includes psychophysiological
research of psychosomatic phenomena and exceptional human experience. First, alternative perspectives on the mind–matter question and reasons why traditional formulations of the 'hard problem' have been so difficult to resolve are reviewed. Empirical evidence of mind modulation of bodily
systems and its implications for the classical quantitative–qualitative distinction and construct of causal closure are then considered. A novel theory that combines bottom-up (panpsychism) and top-down (non-theistic panenpsychism) approaches relating physical processes to mental activity
is then proposed that has practical implications for conceiving and exploring alternatives to current ways of thinking about the mind–matter question.
Autobiographical Memory and Moral Identity Development
Authors: Vanello Daniel
Published: August 2024

Moral identity theory is one of the most popular theories of moral development. A central concept of moral identity theory is moral integration. Moral identity theorists refer to moral integration as the process by which moral values become central to a person's identity, thus developing
one's moral identity. The problem is that there is still very little understanding of the psychological processes that constitute the process of moral integration. The aim of this paper is to offer an account of the role of autobiographical memory in moral identity development. Autobiographical
memory refers to the ability to recollect events in one's past as part of one's personal history. I motivate the claim that the role of the development of autobiographical memory in moral integration should be conceived in relation to the emergence of psychological abilities that both develop
and are exercised on a personal, conscious, and deliberative level.
Editorial: Symposium on Movements of the Mind by Wayne Wu
Authors: Montemayor Carlos
Published: August 2024

Movements of the Mind offers a compelling and empirically grounded theory of agency and attention, arguing that the structure of action depends on the capacity of attention. This capacity is also central to the explanation of how memory can be geared towards immediate action,
as memory 'for work', because attention is essential for the solution of selection problems that require working memory. This seemingly simple structure has substantial and broad consequences for various aspects of cognition, allowing for the integration of automatic processing and top-down
routines with the articulation of physical and mental action. This account of agency and attention is also applicable to non-human cognition.
Problems for Selection Problems: Comments on Wayne Wu's Movements of the Mind
Authors: Peacocke Antonia
Published: August 2024

Early in Movements of the Mind, Wayne Wu puts forth a foundational picture of action. On this picture, intentional action is necessarily a solution to a selection problem, a problem of choice among multiple causally possible alternatives. Forming an intention solves one selection
problem; acting on that intention requires solving yet further selection problems about how to execute that intention. There are two serious issues with this picture of action. First: some intentional actions are causally necessitated. They can't be solutions to selection problems. Wu's argument
for this claim, which contrasts reflex with action, does not succeed in showing that action must solve a selection problem — nor that reflex does not solve such a problem. Second: the requirement to solve further selection problems while acting on an intention leads to a vicious regress
that threatens the possibility of action in general. If these two issues are addressed, Wu's groundbreaking scientific approach to mental action might offer us a powerful new theory of ongoing causal control over intentional action.

Neste documento foi apresentada a aplicação de um modelo conceitual com objetivo investigar a integração das TIC na prática docente. O modelo pedagógico escolhido foi o TPACK (Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge). A pesquisa foi realizada com 392 professores atuantes em escolas estaduais e municipais na microrregião Araranguá, no extremo sul de Santa Catarina. O instrumento aplicado foi um questionário com 50 itens, dispostos em uma escala de Likert de cinco pontos, contemplando os sete domínios do TPACK. Os dados foram coletados a partir de cursos ministrados, pelo RExLab, para professores da Educação Básica atuando em escolas do extremo sul de Santa Catarina. Para avaliar a consistência interna e a confiabilidade do instrumento do instrumento, foi determinado o coeficiente de Alfa Cronbach e também aplicado o ômega de McDonald. O escore médio de Likert para o TPACK, para os 392 participantes, em seus sete domínios foi 3,65, sendo o Coeficiente de Alfa de Cronbach de 0,930 e 0,983 para ômega, indicando uma ótima consistência interna das respostas. Também foram analisados grupos separadamente: por sexo; faixa etária; formação; e, nível educacional de atuação. A partir dos dados apresentados, foi possível afirmar, em relação aos 392 participantes, que estes acreditam ter domínio do conhecimento disciplinar, pedagógico e tecnológico usam as TIC em suas práticas pedagógicas.

O constante crescimento populacional e a expansão urbana têm pressionado cada vez mais o meio ambiente em especial pela disponibilidade de áreas adequadas para o armazenamento dos resíduos sólidos urbanos. Desta maneira, este trabalho possui por objetivo a avaliação do coeficiente de permeabilidade de solos para serem utilizadas como camadas de base em aterros sanitários. Para isso, foram coletadas amostras de solo nos municípios de Açailândia e Imperatriz – MA, para a caracterização geotécnica e determinação do gradiente hidráulico das misturas de solo nas proporções de 0%, 2%, 4% e 6%, em relação ao peso seco de solo, todos compactados na energia normal. Após a realização dos ensaios, foi possível observar que o solo de Imperatriz – MA apresentou menor coeficiente k, desde a amostra natural compactada resultando em valores na ordem de 10-7, já o de Açailândia na ordem de 10-6. Durante o ensaio identificou-se a redução do coeficiente k para ambos os solos à medida que se adicionava bentonita, verificando assim o fenômeno de expansão da argila bentonita provocou uma redução no coeficiente de permeabilidade, obtendo menores índices para as amostras de 4% e 6% respectivamente, apresentando potencial das misturas serem utilizadas em camada de base do aterro sanitário.

O abastecimento de água é um dos quatro pilares essenciais do saneamento básico, sendo este um direito assegurado pela Constituição Federal no Brasil. Esse serviço é definido como um conjunto de sistemas operacionais, que incluem infraestrutura e instalações restritas a sistemas de abastecimento de água potável, envolvendo elementos que partem desde a captação até os pontos de distribuição destinados. Este trabalho, consistiu em avaliar e comparar as formas de abastecimento, dando ênfase as soluções alternativas presentes nas comunidades rurais de cinco municípios do Estado da Paraíba, estando estes situados na microrregião de água e esgoto da Borborema. Foram utilizados os dados do Plano Municipal de Saneamento – PMSB (UFCG) de cada município estudado. A partir dos dados obtidos, as principais soluções alternativas adotadas pelos cinco municípios são captação de água de chuva, carros-pipa, tanque pedra, açude e poço. O método 5W1H permitiu indicar planos de ação frente aos problemas referentes à cada solução alternativa. Por meio da matriz, foi estabelecido e explanado os pontos necessários de acordo com cada pergunta proposta pelo método, a fim de auxiliar na gestão dos serviços de saneamento básico, bem como, na promoção de melhorias frente as soluções alternativas de abastecimento utilizadas.
Revolution Unfolding: The Historical Present between ‘Real Time’ and Latency in Found Footage Filmmaking
Authors: Laub Johanna
Published: August 2024

The inextricable connection between uprisings and technologies of audiovisual recording and broadcasting, especially within an ecology of digital networks, suggests the possibility to follow events in ‘real time’. This paper asks how filmmakers explore the complexities of this notion—and the questions of spectatorship, temporality and mediation that are attached to it—by drawing on the an-archive of protest footage. It is especially interested in the ways in which found footage filmmaking manages to (re-)create a sense of the historical present without resorting to a flat presentism. How do filmmakers re- and deconstruct experiences of ‘real time’ and the fraught notion of immediacy it proposes? How do their narrations attempt to give shape to the openness of the present moment? And how do they negotiate the latent historicity of events? To approach these questions, the paper undertakes a close reading of two films, Fragments of a Revolution (anonymous, 2011) and Videograms of a Revolution (Harun Farocki and Andrei Ujică, 1992), thus drawing a connection between digital and analogue ‘guerilla images’.
From Transvestite Text to Militant Camp
Authors: Zaccone Francesca
Published: August 2024

The article provides a close reading of the novel Το βιβλίο της Κατερίνας [The Book of Katerina] by Auguste Corteau, highlighting its connections and divergences from Το τρίτο Στεφάνι [The Third Wedding Wreath] by Kostas Taktsis. It explores issues of social gender, family, and autobiography through the lens of camp discourse. From a theoretical perspective, the analysis builds on Fabio Cleto’s considerations of queer readings of camp discourse.
Epilessia come segno di selezione vittimaria. Girard e Dostoevskij
Authors: Vignotto Valentina
Published: August 2024

Negli anni Settanta, con la pubblicazione di La violenza e il sacro (1972), René Girard coglie le implicazioni sociali dell’ipotesi mimetica nata dallo studio del romanzo moderno e contenuta in Menzogna romantica e verità romanzesca (1961) e Dostoevskij. Dal doppio all’unità (1963). Uno studio incrociato degli strumenti ermeneutici che Girard adotta per ciascuna di queste fasi ci permette di tracciare una precisa strada ermeneutica che colleghi la figura di Edipo e il suo crimine, il parricidio, ai grandi epilettici del romanzo dostoevskiano. Dopo aver introdotto i termini con cui Girard coglie la derivazione paterna dell’orgoglio in Dostoevskij e dopo aver illustrato i caratteri del capro espiatorio girardiano presenti nella tragedia sofoclea Edipo re, il saggio analizza il ruolo dell’epilessia nella biografia e nell’opera di Dostoevskij, sino a giungere ad una rilettura girardiana degli schemi narrativi del romanzo I fratelli Karamazov, simbolo per eccellenza del delitto parricida.
L’inetto borghese e la crisi della mascolinità. Tre esempi nella narrativa italiana degli anni Sessanta
Authors: Cucchi Silvia
Published: August 2024

Questo articolo si propone di analizzare La noia (1960) di Alberto Moravia, Un amore (1963) di Dino Buzzati e La bambolona (1967) di Alba de Céspedes, come tre opere che, ponendo al centro della narrazione l’ossessione erotica di un personaggio borghese, riescono a rendere conto della crisi della mascolinità (Gunsberg) che si sviluppa durante gli anni Sessanta e che trova nella figura dell’inetto (sessuale) la sua più vivida espressione. In primo luogo ci concentreremo sulle le modalità di rappresentazione del desiderio dei tre protagonisti, per poi focalizzarci sulla centralità del tema del possesso e sulle sue forme – borghesi – di espressione (denaro e matrimonio). Infine, studieremo l’evoluzione dei tre personaggi femminili (Cecilia, Laide e Ivana), da cui i protagonisti sono attratti, che da oggetti di desiderio si smarcano dal male gaze e si affermano come soggetti di desiderio.
