Território e circulação na economia digital: os prazos de entrega do comércio eletrônico no Brasil
Authors: Venceslau Igor
Published: January 2025

Com a difusão das novas tecnologias e a emergência de atividades da economia digital, a circulação ratifica sua relevância por conectar vendedores e consumidores dispersos. Nesse contexto, o território em seu uso torna-se estratégico para as atividades econômicas atualmente realizadas a distância. Este artigo tem o objetivo de apresentar e discutir os prazos de entrega do comércio eletrônico no território brasileiro e suas implicações espaciais. A pesquisa foi realizada por meio de revisão bibliográfica; coleta de dados sobre prazos de entrega em lojas virtuais e plataformas, utilizando metodologia de simulação de compras para cada município brasileiro; elaboração de mapa temático; e trabalhos de campo, com realização de entrevistas. Fundamentado no referencial teórico elaborado por Milton Santos, os resultados apresentaram acentuada desigualdade na circulação das mercadorias compradas pela Internet, expressando aspectos da formação socioespacial brasileira e da regionalização do país, apresentando maior fluidez territorial na Região Concentrada e porções do Centro-Oeste, e em pontos dispersos no Nordeste e Amazônia, uma manifestação da seletividade do meio técnico-científico-informacional. Ali onde o território oferece condições de maior velocidade, as empresas de e-commerce instalaram seus centros de distribuição de mercadorias, a partir dos quais alcançam todos os lugares com suas respectivas defasagens espaço-temporais. Por um lado, produz-se uma contradição entre a instantaneidade dos fluxos informacionais e a multi-temporalidade dos fluxos materiais no território. Por outro lado, o território usado releva o papel ativo de sua existência, uma vez que a economia digital somente se realiza nos lugares concretos, a partir de suas condições.
Cratofobia e cratofilia. Etica e posizionamenti nello studio dello Stato
Authors: Boni Stefano
Published: January 2025

The article describes and examines the divergences between a critical or cratophobic position (which aims to show the problematic aspects of State intervention, unequal distribution of power and social hierarchies) and a cratophilic position (which aims to show the positive aspects of government and hierarchies). Recent attempts to discredit a critical approach are rebutted in detail with regard to the use of the notion of power as well as to the inevitability of the political consequences of any analytical position. With regard to the use of the notion of power, it is argued that critical anthropology is not opposed or incompatible with semantic analyses; that the notion of power applied to cultural dynamics contains both the repressive and productive dimensions; and that the recognition of the relevance of politics in the ordinary process of socialization has opened up fruitful analytical perspectives. With regard to the researcher’s stance, it is reminded the epistemological debate that has characterized anthropology in the last four decades and the appropriateness and fruitfulness of an engaged positioning. The objective is to reduce the tone of the controversy and restore a dialogue within the calm and documented scientific arguments.
La Divisione Corazzata “M”. Un capitolo nei rapporti tra l’Esercito e la Milizia nello Stato fascista
Authors: Bertonha João Fábio
Published: January 2025

La divisione corazzata “M” era un'unità della milizia fascista creata nel 1943 con lo scopo di proteggere il regime in un momento in cui il blocco di potere che aveva sostenuto Mussolini per due decenni si stava disgregando. L’unità si rivelò un fallimento militare e non fu in grado di proteggere il regime nel momento decisivo, durante il colpo di Stato del 1943. Studiarla è comunque importante perché il suo progetto rappresenta il momento in cui la tensione tra l’Esercito italiano e la Milizia fascista, presente dal 1922, raggiunse il suo apice. L’articolo cerca di presentare la storia della divisione, le sue origini, i suoi successi e i suoi fallimenti, nel contesto dei rapporti tra l’Esercito italiano e la Milizia fascista e tra il partito e lo Stato durante il ventennio fascista.
Gli attori della crisi del 1992
Authors: Marino Andrea
Published: January 2025

Raccontare la crisi del 1992 espone a un rischio: conoscerne l’epilogo. Così cadere nella tentazione di ricercare i sintomi che l’avevano preannunciata e cause che spieghino gli accadimenti successivi. A tutt’oggi, infatti, si riscontra un orientamento storiografico che ha evidenziato soprattutto le contraddizioni prodotte da una sedimentazione di elementi degenerativi nei decenni antecedenti all’esplodere di Tangentopoli. L’obiettivo del contributo è proporre una rilettura di quegli eventi non esclusivamente come il prodotto di concatenazioni di cause precedenti al 1992, ma indagando la dinamica conflittuale del tempo e generata in primo luogo dagli attori direttamente impegnati nello spazio pubblico e mediatico: magistrati, giornalisti, imprenditori e forza politiche emergenti. Senza seguire la trama degli scontri di potere durante il dispiegarsi di “Mani pulite” si può mancare di comprendere le ragioni di quegli attori e delle forze motrici che vi hanno preso parte, quindi le dinamiche che hanno condizionato in maniera determinante le circostanze del momento, come d’altronde le ricadute successive.
El factor católico en las guerras culturales en Belgica
Authors: López Villaverde Ángel Luis
Published: January 2025

Questo saggio propone un’analisi che ha come principale obiettivo lo studio del cattolicesimo durante le guerre culturali del XIX e XX secolo nel caso specifico del Belgio, tenendo però in considerazione anche gli studi transnazionali sul cattolicesimo. Si studieranno gli spazi deliberativi sorti intorno alla laicità e al pluralismo religioso, ma anche gli attori, le retoriche e le dinamiche politiche dei processi legislativi. Non mancherà quindi una riflessione sulla scuola, considerata il luogo-simbolo dello sviluppo identitario del paese in grado di segnare le profonde rotture politiche occorse nei vari periodi storici, offrendo quindi una prospettiva d’insieme su quale fu il ruolo del mondo cattolico.
“La Terra in prestito dai nostri figli”: ecologisti e le liste verdi al Convegno internazionale di Pescara (1986)
Authors: Grimaldi Giorgio
Published: January 2025

Dalla seconda metà degli anni Ottanta fino alla fine del decennio le liste verdi in Italia e il dibattito ecologista fecero emergere proposte e iniziative per affrontare il degrado ambientale e il mutamento dei rapporti di potere mirando ad agire a differenti livelli, da quello locale a quello internazionale. Sull’onda di un più ampio movimento ecologista transnazionale e nell’ambito della lotta antinucleare i Verdi diedero vita ad una Federazione creando una nuova forza politica nel sistema italiano, eterogenea e minoritaria. Questo contributo intende ripercorrere un primo momento di riflessione ed elaborazione politica a carattere internazionale: il convegno di Pescara (settembre 1986), volta a riunire a confronto le tante anime dell’Arcipelago verde.
Purging the Past and Gauging the Future: Stage Puritans as Manifestations of Religious Trauma in Restoration Comedies Adapted from European Sources (1660-1689)
Authors: Marion-Ferrand Alice
Published: January 2025

Cet article s’intéresse à cinq comédies de la Restauration créées entre le retour de Charles II en Angleterre et la Glorieuse Révolution, qui mettent toutes en scène la question religieuse et sont adaptées de sources françaises, espagnoles et anglaises (élisabéthaines et jacobéennes) : The Law Against Lovers (1663) de William Davenant, Tartuffe or the French Puritan (1670) de Matthew Medbourne, Sir Patient Fancy (1678) d’Aphra Behn, The Spanish Fryar, or the Double-Discovery (1681) de John Dryden, et Sir Courtly Nice, or It Cannot Be (1685) de John Crowne. En étudiant ce corpus par le prisme des personnages religieux, et notamment celui du dévot puritain, cet article a pour but de montrer comment les comédies de la Restauration tentent de purger le traumatisme de l’Interrègne puritain tout en usant de sa mémoire pour interroger les crises actuelles et à venir. Il s’agit ici d’étudier la fonction cathartique comique de ces pièces, l’actualisation de la figure du Puritain à la Restauration, ainsi que l’idée d’un continuum entre Puritains et Catholiques sur scène qui serait à la source d’un réseau de sens sous-jacent pour les spectateurs de l’époque.
“There is a community of mind in it”: Quoting Shakespeare in the Eighteenth Century
Authors: Mullan John
Published: January 2025

This piece argues that quoting from literary works written in English became a habit only in the second half of the eighteenth century. The acceptance and celebration of a vernacular canon of English Literature, with Shakespeare’s drama at its heart, gave rise to the art and pleasure of quoting Shakespeare. Shakespeare came to live in common usage through anthologies of ‘beauties’, and especially through the presence of his work in Johnson’s dictionary. Snatches from his plays also became important in eighteenth-century novels, particularly in Sterne’s Tristram Shandy, which relies on a reader’s knowledge of Shakespeare’s text.
Cultural heritage and flexibilization of touristic production in the eastern Brazilian Amazon
Authors: Canal Maria Augusta Freitas Costa , Barreto Elcivânia de Oliveira , Castro Milene de Cássia Santos de
Published: January 2025

This article examines the implications of “new neoliberalism,” a regulatory framework, on the arrangement of cultural heritage prompted by the liberalization of tourism in the eastern Brazilian Amazon. The eastern Brazilian Amazon encompasses the Brazilian states of Amapá (AP), Maranhão (MA), Pará (PA), and Tocantins (TO). Hence, we analyzed and surveyed key data and documents relating to the tourism sector and cultural heritage. The research revealed, through indicators such as entrepreneurship, creative production, privatization, and public-private partnerships, a localized concentration of heritage organization and tourism liberalization in the areas comprising the cities of Macapá (AP), Belém (PA), and São Luís (MA). The observed internal and external interactions in the eastern Brazilian Amazon substantiate the establishment of a “new neoliberalism” regulatory framework. This framework fuses social entrepreneurship with “neo-bohemian” local creative aspects and emphasizes “institutional commodification” via public-private partnerships. This arrangement enables the utilization of this heritage by groups entrenched in neoliberal rationality.
La Economía Política del Turismo en Brasil (2003-2016): ¿una agenda “positiva” pero aún neoliberal?
Authors: Pimentel Thiago Duarte , Pereira Chaves Pimentel Mariana , Costa Bifano de Oliveira Marcela , Lapointe Dominic
Published: January 2025

Recientemente, el turismo ha ganado una relevancia significativa, siendo considerado por los Estados-nación como una alternativa para el desarrollo, debido a las limitaciones y restricciones de recursos con las que deben lidiar. En este artículo conceptual, desarrollamos un marco analítico integral para examinar la economía política del turismo (EPT), con el objetivo de integrar y superar los análisis parciales realizados hasta el momento. Para ilustrar nuestro modelo, utilizamos datos secundarios relativos al período de los gobiernos del Partido de los Trabajadores (Luís Inácio Lula da Silva 2003-2010 y Dilma Rousseff 2011-2016) en Brasil, dado que estudios previos muestran que este período estuvo marcado por un notable aumento y cambio cualitativo en el sector turístico en la historia de Brasil. Nuestros hallazgos destacan que el turismo en Brasil experimentó una transformación profunda, tanto cuantitativa como cualitativamente, en el período analizado. De acuerdo con nuestro marco interpretativo, argumentamos que esta transformación fue resultado de la alineación positiva de factores macrosociales (como la ausencia de crisis, junto con una expansión económica internacional impulsada por la demanda y una estrategia nacional progresiva) con la agenda nacional, creando condiciones favorables para la expansión y diversificación del sector turístico en Brasil. Sin embargo, para tener éxito, esta “agenda positiva” sigue estando arraigada en una agenda neoliberal, comprendiendo un turismo masivo, receptivo y concentrado. Estas son condiciones previas con las que se debe lidiar incluso si se considera la posibilidad de reorientar la actividad hacia una agenda más socialmente redistributiva.
The Radicalization of Neoliberalism in Brazil and the Role of the Ministry of Tourism in Coalition Presidentialism
Authors: Todesco Carolina , Cardoso da Silva Rodrigo
Published: January 2025

Based on the premise that the government system influences the institutional capacity of official tourism bodies, policies and public investments, the study aims to analyze how the Brazilian Ministry of Tourism was co-opted by coalition presidentialism in ultra-liberal governments, from 2016 to 2022, focusing on the distribution of ministerial positions and budget control by political parties. The research was based on the theoretical framework of political science regarding coalition presidentialism and carried out documentary research, with the cross-referencing of data regarding composition of coalition parties, parliamentary amendment by political party, political party in charge of the body, and budget executed. The results indicate that the Brazilian Ministry of Tourism remained in the government structure during the ultra-liberal governments, which defended the streamlining of the state machine, as it fulfilled the role of accommodating allied political parties, configuring itself as an instrument to meet parliamentary demands and assist the coalition of governments in Congress. Coalition presidentialism is not a reality exclusive to Brazil, which highlights the need for research that can compare the influence of similar and different government systems on tourism governance.
En las entrañas del neoliberalismo: el impacto de AirBnb en la hostelería y el mercado inmobiliario de São Paulo y Río de Janeiro, Brasil
Authors: de Cássia Ariza da Cruz Rita , Pereira de Araujo Cristina , Muniz Abreu Luciano
Published: January 2025

Con un valor de mercado de casi 136.000 millones de dólares (Nasdaq, 20242), AirBnb es la principal plataforma de alojamiento del mundo y opera en la mayoría de los países. Se introdujo en Brasil en 2012 y hoy en día está presente en todos los estados del país, dominando el mercado en las ciudades con mayor afluencia de turistas. No obstante se enfrenta a la dura competencia de otras plataformas más pequeñas. A pesar del creciente impacto de Airbnb en diferentes lugares, sólo se han realizado unos pocos estudios sobre Brasil. Por ello, el objetivo principal de este texto es analizar sus impactos en las dos mayores metrópolis brasileñas, São Paulo y Río de Janeiro, considerando sus efectos en las tasas de ocupación hotelera, ADR y RevPAR, así como en las tendencias del mercado inmobiliario. Como premisa teórica, este texto considera la relación entre AirBnb, la industria hotelera y el mercado inmobiliario como expresión del neoliberalismo en la producción de espacios urbanos en un país en desarrollo, basado en la construcción de una «sociedad de mercado», en la competencia entre individuos y en su auto-emprendimiento (Andrade; Côrtes; Almeida, 2021). El abordaje metodológico empleado comprende investigación bibliográfica y documental, análisis exploratorio del sector inmobiliario y comparativo de datos procedentes de los listados de AirBnb y de las tasas de ocupación hotelera, ADR y RevPAR. Los resultados de estos análisis se plasman en salidas cartográficas. Los datos sobre AirBnb se obtuvieron de la plataforma AirDna incluyendo los años completos de 2021, 2022, 2023 y enero de 2024. En cuanto al mercado inmobiliario de ambas ciudades la principal fuente de datos fue SECOVI, entidad privada que representa las empresas de compra, venta, alquiler y gestión inmobiliaria. Los resultados muestran que, dadas las importantes diferencias geográficas entre las ciudades analizadas, AirBnb ha producido una topología específica en cada una de ellas. Además, aunque no se han encontrado evidencias de que esta plataforma haya tenido un impacto significativo en las tasas de ocupación hotelera, ADR y RevPAR en estas ciudades en los últimos años, la competencia entre AirBnb y la industria hotelera se considera desleal. Por último, hay indicios de un impacto en las tipologías del mercado inmobiliario tanto en São Paulo como en Río de Janeiro, donde se ha producido un aumento de la oferta inmobiliaria dirigida explícitamente al alquiler turístico de temporada.
A New Approach to Editing Kafka’s Der Process: Creating a Base Text for Japanese Translation
Authors: Myojo Kiyoko
Published: January 2025

The existing translations of Kafka’s Der Process in Japan present a simplified reading text, even when they claim to provide something more extensive. One reason why Japanese translations of the scholarly editions have not been attempted in earnest is that it is not possible to adequately translate some of the variants of the German text into Japanese.In this article I present some features of a new edition of Der Process that will give greater insight into Kafka’s writing process. More specifically, I propose an edition that attempts to convey Kafka’s écriture, highlighting the fragmentary and unfinished nature of his texts. Additionally, this edition will be translatable into Japanese and be aimed at a non-specialist audience.I address some of the difficulties that such an edition would encounter. The principal difficulty is to decide what material should be included. Previous editions have been guided by different ideals, either the ideal of a finished narrative work or the ideal of fidelity to the manuscripts. Neither of these ideals are sufficient for an edition focused on the writing process itself. I argue that material that has traditionally been considered extraneous should be included.Finally, I outline a new approach to editing, I call ’third generation editing’, that does not aim to establish a canonical edition, but rather to produce alternative ways of editing Kafka.
United in Times of War: Reading Mickey in 1940-1944 France
Authors: Van De Wiele Eva
Published: January 2025

Comics have built and maintained relationships with their readers over time, leading to what Martin Barker has called a “contract”. Roger Sabin, for instance, has demonstrated how the Ally Sloper’s Half Holliday papers of the nineteenth century fostered a sense of friendship with readers, who felt their opinions were being heard. Similarly, children’s magazines used reader interaction as an affective tool for marketing purposes and for political indoctrination. One prominent example is the French children’s weekly, Le journal de Mickey, which from 1934 created a community through letters, competitions, and clubs. This article examines the rarely studied reader participation sections of Le journal de Mickey from 1940 to 1944, produced in Marseille. Reflecting implied rather than actual readers, these sections reveal how, during World War II, children were both provided with consolation for the war and distraction from it, and mobilized and engaged in the war effort. I investigate the impact of Club Mickey’s promotion of social cohesion through children’s activities during this period. Combining qualitative close readings with a quantitative overview, the article analyses changes in the magazine’s interactive sections from 1940 to 1944. It highlights the shift from American to domestic content, the fine balance between national propaganda and affective support of readers, and the roles and responsibilities of children in war. This research fills a gap in the study of children’s magazines during World War II, extending methodologies from studies by Stéphane Audoin-Rouzeau and Manon Pignot on the First World War to understand the effects of the Second World War on French child readers.
Getting ready for the Second World War. Fascist Propaganda and Ideology in L’Avventuroso (1938–40)
Authors: Di Franco Manuela
Published: January 2025

In 1938, the Italian Fascist regime enacted legislation banning foreign comics, specifically targeting the children’s press. As a result, publishers like Nerbini had to radically alter their magazines’ contents to align with the regime’s aim of using the children’s press as a tool for indoctrinating Italian youth with Fascist values. This article takes L’Avventuroso as a case study to investigate how Fascist policies influenced children’s media between 1938 and 1940 – from the ban on foreign comics to Italy’s intervention in World War II – focusing on the transition from American-inspired contents to nationalist propaganda. Through content analysis of Italian-made comics and short novels, combined with socio-historical contextualisation, the article explores the extent to which Fascist rhetoric permeated the children’s press. The analysis examines recurring themes, character archetypes, and iconography to assess the role of comics as a vehicle for propaganda. The study also employs qualitative discourse analysis to trace the alignment of narrative structures with Fascist ideology. By examining nationalistic and propaganda contents in L’Avventuroso, the article provides a nuanced understanding of how Fascist policies at the onset of World War II influenced the publishing of comics, offering insights into the regime’s use of children’s media as a tool for propaganda.
Team translation and other specificities of translating children’s literature in Ukraine: Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire from English into Ukrainian.
Authors: Kosiuha Oleksandra
Published: January 2025

This study highlights the specific challenges and collaborative dynamics of team translation in the context of children’s literature. It examines how Ukrainian translation navigates cultural, linguistic, and literary considerations to adapt the text for a young audience while maintaining fidelity to J. K. Rowling’s original narrative. The study emphasizes several aspects: a) team translation dynamics: translating a complex and culturally rich text like Harry Potter often requires a collaborative effort. This includes dividing translation tasks, harmonizing linguistic style, and ensuring consistency in terminology, especially with proper nouns, magical terms, and culturally specific references; b) cultural adaptation: Ukrainian translators faced challenges in localizing elements of the story, such as idioms, humor, and cultural references, to resonate with Ukrainian readers. This involved using strategies like localization (adapting references to the target culture) and transformation (modifying elements to align with audience expectations) ; and c) age-appropriate translation: the translation had to consider the target audience’s age and reading comprehension, adapting complex themes and wordplay without losing the essence of the original text. This research underscores the importance of cultural and linguistic sensitivity in translating children’s literature and demonstrates how a team approach can address the multifaceted demands of such projects.
Rethinking Women’s Cinema as Generic Corruption: the case of Debra Granik’s Winter’s Bone (2010)
Authors: Maury Cristelle
Published: January 2025

This article examines Debra Granik’s independent rural film noir Winter’s Bone as an example of personal appropriation of the generic conventions of Hollywood cinema and as such, as a “feminist rewriting of cultural narrative” (de Lauretis) that unleashes a creative potential and provides the ingredients for a “productive corruption” (Beugnet). To demonstrate this, the article draws on several interviews that Granik gave in the popular press and on Janet Staiger’s notion of generic hybridity and Gilles Deleuze’s concept of minor cinema to explore the strategies of genre blending that blur the distinction between genres along gender lines in order to criticize or “deterritorialize” dominant language. First it shows how the heroine of the woman’s film is endowed with the agency of two of the archetypal noir anti-heroes identified by Foster Hirsch, the “non-professional investigator” and the “noir victim.” It then examines the status of domesticity in relation to action genres, showing how Winter’s Bone corrupts the conventions of both women’s films and action genres by making domesticity the locus of action, and by making violence the locus of emotion. Finally, it argues that these transformations exemplify the generative effect of corruption, which helps to make the film an overtly feminist critique of patriarchal neoliberal capitalism, and thus posit Granik as a feminist filmmaker who helps to rethink women’s cinema in de Lauretis’s terms.
The Roots of Corruption in The Witch (Robert Eggers, 2015)
Authors: McGivney Amira
Published: January 2025

The notion of corruption is embedded in folk belief of witchcraft because it is thought to be founded on the relationship between Satan and his minion witches. The Witch: A New-England Folktale (Robert Eggers, 2015) recycles Christian imagery and focuses on Puritan values. The film centers on a teenager named Thomasin and her family’s downfall. The perpetuation of evil is based on its dissemination through space and time and its fluidity as it shapeshifts through the female figure of the witch and the environment. This article proposes to analyze the film from an ecofeminist perspective (Merchant 2003). It presents the eerie impression that corrupts the visible itself (Beugnet 2017) while the invisible is given airborne features (Saige 2018). Therefore, this article aims to explore the process of corruptive contamination within a Puritan worldview that slowly rots and collapses into ruins.
Occupational hazards or the corrupting power of genre movies in Berberian Sound Studio (Peter Strickland, 2012) and Censor (Prano Bailey-Bond, 2021)
Authors: Cloarec Nicole
Published: January 2025

In both Berberian Sound Studio (Peter Strickland, 2012) and Censor (Prano Bailey-Bond, 2021) the main protagonists happen to be working in the British film industry, respectively as a sound engineer and a film censor at the newly renamed British Board of Film Classification (BBFC). For professional reasons, both have to watch horror movies repeatedly, which affects their emotional life and mental health. In this respect, the two films offer a reflection on the potential corrupting influence of films and watching horror movies in particular. However, this article argues that the films address the issue of corruption not so much as a moral question as from a formal point of view, as in both cases the films’ realist premises are gradually undermined by pastiche and self-reflexivity.
In Defense of Impurity: Corruption as a Gateway to Greatness in the work of M. Night Shyamalan
Authors: Jaunas Vincent
Published: January 2025

In M. Night Shyamalan’s 2017 Split, the Beast, one of the many personalities of the character suffering from Dissociative Identity Disorder played by James McAvoy, advocates the superiority of “The Broken”, as he argues those who know pain are “the more evolved”. The character comes to reject normalcy, which he associates with impurity: “The impure are the untouched, the unburned, the unslain”. As such, this character, who turns out to be a villain in Shyamalan’s superhero trilogy initiated by Unbreakable (2000) and concluded by Glass (2020), acts as a mouthpiece for the director’s own ambivalent fascination with the corruption of the mind – mental illness and senescence are central themes of The Village (2004), Split or The Visit (2016) – and of the body – from The Sixth Sense (1999) to Old (2021). This article aims at exploring this fascination. In it, I argue that Shyamalan’s films both develop and reflexively question the ethical implications of a Nietzschean view of corruption seen as a gateway to greatness.
Hollywood, Corruption and the State: An Examination of the Government-Entertainment Complex
Authors: Jenkins Tricia
Published: January 2025

This paper argues that many aspects of the U.S. government’s relationship with Hollywood’s entertainment industry can be defined as corrupt. Indeed, the U.S. government- entertainment complex often results in a corruption of the truth and in corrupt industry practices that limit or narrow the marketplace of ideas. Before analyzing the complex’s relationship to corruption, however, this paper first defines and explains the government-entertainment complex and how it works in the United States.
In praise of corruption — according to Ernst Lubitsch.
Authors: Sipière Dominique
Published: January 2025

This interlude dwells on the paradox of a happy corruption of Ernst Lubitsch's American film characters (in Ninotchka, Heaven Can Wait or Cluny Brown…). Of course, he deals with the usual negative corruptions, for example with the three Russian envoys who are diverted from their mission by luxury and money. But above all, it describes the charm of corruption-seduction that unleashes a repressed desire and happiness. In these films, Ninotchka, Martha and especially Cluny awaken to themselves.For Lubitsch, there is a time for everything: the effectiveness of the fight for Belinsky and the awakening of love with Cluny. Of course, this pursuit of happiness is also an amused satire of the class and ideological blockages of their time (They must know “their place”). The characters with whom Lubitsch could identify (Leon, Henry, Belinski...) are there to show the beauty of things. And the viewer himself discovers them with pleasure.
The Corruption of Televised Character Overhaul: From “Human Figure” to Material Formlessness
Authors: Cabeza-Macuso Pablo
Published: January 2025

This paper analyzes the status of televised character overhaul from the angle of material corruption through the study of three semi-serial TV series : Sliders, Angel, and Doctor Who. The first section analyzes the episodic figures of corruption. Firstly, the manner in which a character is downgraded via the figure of the mannequin in Sliders and Angel. Secondly, the first section examines the material and ideal corruption in Angel and Doctor Who via the figure of “costume identity”. A link is made with the “Body Snatchers” movies from the motif of the fall of the “Human Figure”. The second section studies the serial oscillation of individuation in Doctor Who with a genealogy of the "viscous paste" figure in the first Doctor Who series (1963). Finally, this genealogy helps to interpret the "viscous paste" as a survival of “camp” imagery in Doctor Who (2005).
‘Fallen’ Women in a corrupt man’s world in Pre-Code Hollywood
Authors: Paquet-Deyris Anne-Marie
Published: January 2025

In pre-Code Hollywood, looser censorship restrictions allowed filmmakers to focus more openly on adult themes of sexuality and violence. This era gave birth to proto-feminist movies which mostly transgressed the Production Code rules relating to gender and sexuality and female sexuality as they mainly targeted “the representation of female sexuality and sensuality” (McGregor, The Catholic Church and Hollywood). Staging often sexually active and relatively independent women, these films explored their fights for control over their lives in an environment defined by bourgeois morality and the Catholic Church’s prescriptions at work even before the 1930 Hays Code and its enforcement in 1934. This paper will examine how C. Brown in A Free Soul (1931), J. Conway in Red-Headed Woman (1932), M. Curtiz in Female (1933) and A. Green in Baby Face (1933) explore the way women choose to reappropriate men’s standards and fashion others to blaze their own paths into society.
O corpo múltiplo da Natureza : abordagens praxiológicas da crise ecológica
Authors: Moreira Jorge
Published: January 2025

A emergência, a complexidade multiescalar e o propósito das questões ambientais exigem um olhar diferente sobre as práticas sociais que impactam na Natureza e no Ambiente. Nessa lógica evocamos a praxiografia de Annemarie Mol, procurando estudar as questões ambientais sem as isolar dos contextos das práticas sociais a elas anexadas. Além desta perspetiva, adicionamos o método assemblage de John Law, para tornar visível um conjunto de ressonâncias na organização social e ecológica, reconhecendo, também, a diversidade epistemológica e ontológica do mundo. O texto apresenta uma abordagem fractal, centrando a sua reflexão entre as práticas que criam diferentes perspetivas e o advento de práticas que geram diferentes realidades, mais em harmonia com o Ambiente e a Natureza, contribuindo para repensar e agir sobre os problemas socioambientais.
L’art face au livre
Authors: Krajewski Pascal
Published: January 2025

L’article analyse les différentes façons d’articuler ensemble les quatre notions clés de ce numéro d’Appareil : le livre, le support, le texte et l’œuvre d’art. Schématiquement, cette rencontre à travers l’objet livre dessine trois régions distinctes : celle où le livre joue un rôle documentaire vis-à-vis d’une œuvre d’art extérieure, celle où il joue le rôle d’élément intégré à une œuvre d’art plastique englobante, et celle où il fonctionne lui-même comme une œuvre d’art à part entière.Les effets esthétiques des livres sur l’objet d’art auquel ils réfèrent sont étudiés, pour montrer comment ils oscillent entre la neutralité esthétique et la réinvention médiumnique, en passant par l’ajout d’une charge sensuelle ou symbolique.Enfin, l’article s’arrête sur ce qu’il appelle les « arts livresques », qui recouvrent autant les pop-up et les manuscrits que les livres d’artistes et les livres illustrés, pour décrire précisément chaque pièce de ce patchwork où véritablement le livre est l’œuvre d’art.
Ces lieux où souffleraient encore l’esprit du Moyen Âge… Le médiévalisme dans le marketing territorial
Authors: Alexandre-Bidon Danièle , Chanoir Yohann
Published: January 2025

Cette contribution se propose d’étudier la manière dont le Moyen Âge est mobilisé pour « vendre » un espace (pays, région, département, commune…) en France et dans quelques pays de l’Union européenne, par le biais du marketing territorial. Avec un corpus de plus d’une centaine d’images, seront étudiés non seulement les modalités de ce marketing (identification des vecteurs de médiévalité, recensement des démarches d’attractivité) mais aussi les effets de ces campagnes de promotion sur l’image même du Moyen Âge.
Le Moyen Âge fait-il vendre dans le jeu vidéo ? Les univers médiévalistes dans les best-sellers du marché vidéoludique domestique (1980-2023)
Authors: Germain Lionel , Saliou Simon
Published: January 2025

Le jeu vidéo domestique constitue aujourd’hui un marché culturel mondialisé de masse, et l’imaginaire du Moyen Âge – qu’il soit fantastique ou « vraisemblant » – y rencontre un succès considérable. À partir d’un corpus d’environ 200 best-sellers sortis entre 1980 et 2023, cet article propose d’établir un tableau synthétique de l’histoire de ce médiévalisme vidéoludique à succès et d’en interpréter les grandes tendances au regard de celles de la culture populaire, de l’évolution rapide des possibilités techniques, des acteurs et de la configuration changeante de l’industrie du jeu vidéo, de l’élargissement progressif du public consommateur et de la circulation d’influences au sein du champ vidéoludique comme avec d’autres médias. Trois grandes séquences sont ainsi identifiées : celle d’un premier essor commercial d’une heroic fantasy vidéoludique archétypale (c.1980-c.1994) ; celle d’une importante diversification du médiévalisme vidéoludique à succès, qui se traduit notamment par l’essor d’une fantasy plus sombre et nuancée ainsi que d’imaginaires du « vrai » Moyen Âge et de Moyen Âge non-européens (c.1995-c.2006) ; et celle enfin du grand triomphe commercial de ce médiévalisme dans le monde du jeu vidéo (depuis c.2007), qui malgré sa diversité promeut essentiellement un imaginaire du Moyen Âge occidental – fantastique et « réel » – et ses stéréotypes.
Dessine-moi un dragon : une créature imaginaire pour raconter le Moyen Âge ?
Authors: Herbreteau Lucie
Published: January 2025

Cet article s’applique à étudier les ouvrages de littérature jeunesse présentant des dragons comme personnages principaux, en se concentrant sur la tranche d’âge 3-6 ans, afin de savoir si le dragon, créature imaginaire par excellence, permet de découvrir le Moyen Âge, période historique bien réelle. L’article fait d’abord un état des lieux de la présence du dragon dans la littérature jeunesse, en s’intéressant plus particulièrement à la tranche 3-6 ans. Une deuxième partie se concentre sur la manière dont un enfant peut apprendre le Moyen Âge par la figure du dragon et des autres personnages gravitant autour de lui. Enfin, une troisième partie démontre comment le dragon offre surtout au jeune lecteur une première approche de la littérature médiévale. Dans la veine du médiévalisme, cet article analyse l’héritage littéraire médiéval, sa réutilisation et sa transmission dans la littérature jeunesse contemporaine.
Le Moyen Âge de Peter Tremayne fait vendre
Authors: Roche-Tiengo Virginie
Published: January 2025

Cet article s’attache à définir comment l’arrière-plan historique des Mystères de Fidelma, ce Moyen Âge qui est pour Peter Tremayne « l’âge des lumières » pour l’Irlande, tant au niveau de la littérature, de la culture, des arts que du système juridique mêle le plaisir du dépaysement à celui du mystère dans une quête indicielle de vérité. Après avoir montré comment les trente-cinq tomes de la saga Fidelma, ces romans policiers historiques traduits dans le monde entier, font vendre une vision érudite et cartographiée du Moyen Âge irlandais à travers des exemples juridiques de crimes jugés à l’aune des lois de l’ancien Droit celtique, les lois des Brehons (en irlandais : Dlíthe na mBreithiúnaan), nous nous interrogerons sur l’attrait topographique et linguistique d’un lectorat international pour le VIIe siècle irlandais.
Se mettre à l’œuvre: Trois incipit de fantasy française
Authors: Rosescu Adrien
Published: January 2025

Le propos de cet article est d’étudier trois incipit de fantasy francophone issus des œuvres de Justine Niogret, Stefan Platteau et Jean-Philippe Jaworski en les envisageant plus spécifiquement dans une modalité de mouvement. Nous verrons que les univers de ces trois auteurs se dévoilent toutefois au lecteur en suivant des types de déplacement bien distincts, qu’il s’agisse d’une émergence progressive concernant Les Sentiers des astres de Platteau, d’une immersion tant géographique que psychologique dans « Mauvaise donne » de Jaworski, ou encore d’un brusque demi-tour savamment orchestré par Niogret dans Chien du heaume. Durant notre analyse, nous tâcherons aussi de porter une attention toute particulière à l’emploi des topoï dans ces incipit, tels que ceux du seuil, de l’éveil, du regard et de la violence dès l’orée du texte.
Dans le port de Salonique
Authors: Mahera Anna
Published: January 2025

Cet article étudie la création de l’infrastructure du port de Thessalonique de 1880 jusqu’à l’incorporation de la ville à l’État grec en 1913. Parmi les divers facteurs qui ont conduit à l’accélération de la planification et de la construction d’infrastructures dans le port de Thessalonique ainsi que dans d’autres ports de la Méditerranée orientale, on peut citer l’ouverture du canal de Suez, qui a consolidé le rôle de Thessalonique dans le système économique international ; la croissance remarquable du trafic terrestre et maritime ; la consolidation du rôle consultatif des ingénieurs étrangers dans la bureaucratie ottomane en conjonction avec la dynamique de la nouvelle institution des autorités municipales; et le tournant du système bancaire ottoman vers la promotion des entreprises. Cette même période coïncide avec le renforcement du caractère exportateur des entreprises françaises, notamment celles du secteur des travaux publics, orientées vers l’équipement des pays en voie de développement à la suite de la remise en cause du plan Freycinet en 1883. Cette coïncidence a fait passer des personnes qui ont joué un rôle décisif dans le développement de Thessalonique pendant cette période, comme Edmond Bartissol ou le centralien Jules Robert, d’exceptions à la règle des chefs d’entreprise français si leur cas est pris isolément, à des cas exemplaires de l’expansion des entreprises françaises dans la période précédant la Première Guerre mondiale.
Stathis Kalyvas, the Logic of Violence and the Immobile Peasant
Authors: Bougarel Xavier
Published: January 2025

In 2006, Cambridge University Press published The Logic of Violence in Civil War by the Greek political scientist Stathis Kalyvas. Does it make sense to take a fresh look at this book, which is almost twenty years old, at a time when political scientists’ analyses of civil wars and violence have developed considerably, and Kalyvas himself has published numerous articles to build on and sometimes adjust his approach? I think so, for two reasons. The first, objective, reason is that Kalyvas’s book is a seminal one, systematically cited in political science scholarship, and has inspired a series of other analyses of civil wars and violence. The second, more subjective, is that my own reading of this book has evolved over time.This paper is therefore an attempt to formulate my doubts in a clear and, I hope, coherent way, about a book that I still consider to be a major work and which I recommend to anyone interested in political violence.
Understanding the socio-spatial determinants of online shopping through household delivery option choices
Authors: Belton Chevallier Leslie , Motte-Baumvol Benjamin , Aguiléra Anne
Published: January 2025

Households increasingly buy goods online and use various delivery services, such as home deliveries and pick-up or click-and-collect services. Drawing on a questionnaire survey of 633 households in France, this article seeks to deepen understanding of the factors influencing online shopping practices, focusing on the type of goods purchased (food or non-food) and the chosen delivery services. The findings refine the innovations and efficiency hypotheses, that these factors have a greater influence on the choice of delivery methods than on the likelihood of shopping online. Beyond standard socio-demographic factors, residential location does not significantly impact the frequency of online purchases but significantly influences the selection of delivery options. Specifically, households in areas perceived or characterized as less densely populated, with fewer local stores and collection points, are more likely to opt for home delivery. Conversely, those in neighbourhoods perceived as well equipped with amenities are more inclined to choose a collection point. The conclusion, therefore, is that households in densely populated areas are more inclined to retrieve purchases from pick-up points, whereas those in less dense areas would more readily outsource these trips to a logistics provider for home delivery.
Sleeve Slippage Simulation and Slippage Damage Identification for the Development of Next Generation Sleeve Assembly Roll
Authors: Noda Naoaki
Published: January 2025

Next generation rolls such as super-cermet rolls and all-ceramic rolls can be manufactured using only sleeve assembly type rolls, which have the advantage of being able to reuse the shaft by replacing the damaged sleeves. However, in some cases, failures with unknown causes may occur such as circumferential slippage, shaft pull-out or residual bending deformation at the shrink-fit interface. Such slipping failures cannot be prevented by conventional design concept. This is because even if the resistant torque is greater than the motor torque, the circumferential slippage will occur. Through numerical simulation and miniature roll experiment, the following results are obtained. 1) Even under free rolling condition without motor torque, the circumferential slippage occurs. 2) The slippage is caused by the accumulation of irreversible slip during the roll rotation. 3) The motor torque accelerates the sip amount significantly. 4) The geometry of slippage defect can be identified experimentally. 5) The fatigue strength of sleeve assembly rolling rolls can be evaluated by using √area parameter characterizing the identified slip defects. 6) By preventing the slip damage, the fatigue strength of sleeve rolls can be nearly equal to that of conventional solid rolls without shrink-fit.
The Prevention Stroke for High-Risk Patients Using Prediction and Treatment Based on Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS)
Authors: Faradilla Arnes , Djatna Taufik
Published: January 2025

Stroke is the second factor of mortality in the world. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), stroke is an acute brain dysfunction. The effects of stroke are disability and mortality. Therefore, this is a concern for world health. In early 2019, the Pandemic Covid-19 attacked the world and caused many mortalities. Especially, people who have complications with diseases such as heart attack, stroke, and asthma. The purpose of this research is to predict stroke diseases with input parameters (age, glucose level, heart rate, and BMI) and to test the accuracy of the system. Moreover, analysis of the management of stroke patients’ strategy. ANFIS is a combination of ANN and FIS. It can construct a network realization of IF/THEN rules. This method was used by many researchers to predict and test the accuracy of the system. According to the result, the error of this system is 0.04 and the accuracy is 94%. Thus, it was good for predicting stroke diseases. According to the severity of the stroke, there are stroke management strategies that can be conducted by the patients; self-management and medical management. For self-management, problem-solving, goal setting, decision-making, and coping skills can help recovery. On the other way, there are five categories for medical management; stroke acute care, reperfusion, rehabilitation, cognitive decline, and neuroprotection and repair.Your manuscript will be reduced by approximately 20% by the publisher. Please keep this in mind when designing your figures and tables, etc.
Auto-Mechanics' Mental Workload and Posture Risk Assessment in Automobile Repair Shop: A Case Study
Authors: Saflor Charmine Sheena , Jou Yung Tsan , Gavino Kathrine D. , Tangsoc Jazmin
Published: January 2025

This study assessed the auto-mechanics' four dimensions of mental workload and posture in an automobile repair shop in San Jose Occidental Mindoro, Philippines, with issues in increasing body pains and headaches affecting efficiency and performance. Five participants were observed from January-March 2022. Due to the limitations of the NASA-TLX in evaluating the mental workload, the authors used the new Carmen-Q questionnaire. Results revealed that the auto-mechanics had been exposed to an average of twenty-nine (29) in the cognitive dimension, eighteen point five (18.5) in the temporal dimension, seventeen point five (17.5) in the emotional dimension, and seventeen points seventy-five (17.75) in performance dimension, which means that the auto-mechanic's mental workload is in the medium range and preventive measures must be done. Previous research also revealed that mental workload is linked with poorer posture; thus, this study is the first to combine mental workload with posture risk assessment. RULA and REBA techniques have been utilized to evaluate the posture, and results discovered that the risk index for tire repair and installation is two (2.00) and three (3.0) for the engine repair and installation, which means that the risk is high and change in posture is required. Statistical analysis also described that the cognitive and emotional dimension has a significant relationship with each other. In contrast, the different dimensions have no significant relationship, such as: cognitive and temporal dimensions, cognitive and performance dimensions, temporal and emotional dimensions, temporal and performance dimensions, and emotional and performance dimensions. In conclusion, this study can be considered a basis for helping the automobile repair shop design the tasks for the auto-mechanics as well as guidance in improving the working conditions and a tool for evaluating cognitive state in a critical working environment.
