Published: November 2021

Introduction: Unplanned pregnancy may be the reason of many neonatal and maternal adverse effects. Many factors have been reported to be associated with acceptance of female sterilization. Objective: To identify various socio-demographic factors affecting the decision of choice of Tubal Ligation (TL). Method: A record based study was done using data from the register maintained at the Family Planning Unit of Obstetrics and Gynaecology department. Analysis of data of TL operations conducted between April 2018 to March 2019 were performed. Results: A total of 675 tubal ligation operations were conducted. The mean age of females undergoing TL was 28.8 ± 3.9 years and their husbands was 33.25 ± 4.38 years. Out of the total, 484(71.1%) couples were Muslims. Total 74(10.8%) females were illiterate and 39(5.8%) males were illiterate. Among 440 (65.1%) couples who had underwent TL had 3 living children. Majority i.e. 518 (76.7%) had the age of their last living child less than 1 month. Ninety one percent of couples had at least one male child. There was a significant relationship of female education with total number of living children. Relationship of total number of living children with religion was also significant statistically. Conclusion: The study concludes that female education as well as religious and cultural beliefs plays a major role in deciding the female sterilization.

Imigração, língua de acolhimento e assimilação em Goiás
Authors: Chacón Juan Castro
Published: November 2021

Esta pesquisa reflete sobre língua de acolhimento ao imigrante, na língua portuguesa em Goiás - Brasil, fazendo um trajeto historiográfico pela formação da sociedade goiana, no séc. XX (PALACÍN; MORAES, 2008). O estudo destaca a assimilação sociolinguística com que as etnias foram acolhidas pelo português, por necessidade ou afetividade (CAMBRIDGE, 2000). Nesse ponto, os estudos de Braggio (1992) direcionam a aquisição da língua à realidade sociocultural; consequentemente, fazemos descrições referenciais sobre a imigração em Goiás. Assim, nossa pesquisa discutiu sobre a identidade (SILVA, 2007), na organização da língua de acolhimento (AMADO, 2013), na aquisição de língua e a assimilação linguística do imigrante.
Raiva, ironia, alegria
Authors: Freitas Artur
Published: November 2021

Este artigo investiga a relação entre arte de vanguarda e resistência cultural durante os anos 1970 no Brasil. Com a vigência do Ato Institucional Número 5 (AI-5), a generalização da censura, a institucionalização da repressão e os efeitos sociais do dito “milagre brasileiro”, a produção artística assumiu muitas vezes uma retórica crítica, ainda que eventualmente alegórica, em relação ao contexto autoritário. Mediante esse contexto, defende-se aqui que parte considerável da arte brasileira dos anos 1970 reagiu às pressões de seu entorno por meio de três modos elementares de resistência: a “fúria significante”, a “forma-festa” e a “contracomunicação”, cada qual relacionado a três emoções básicas: a raiva, a alegria e a ironia.

Evaluation and Comparison of Formocresol and Sodium Hypochlorite as Pulpotomy Medicaments in Treatment of Mandibular Primary Molars -
A Randomized Controlled Study
Authors: Wani Nadia Irshad , Kour Navneet , Verma Manju
Published: November 2021

Background: the main idea behind the pulpotomy of a primary tooth is to remove the infected or inflamed coronal pulp tissues and cover the pulp with a suitable medicament or dressing which promotes healing and preserve the vitality of the teeth especially in young permanent teeth. A medicament should be biologically compatible, have healing capabilities, should be non cytotoxic, or mutagenic and with no carcinogenic potential.
Aim: the main aim of the study was to compare and evaluate the efficacy of commonly used two medicaments i.e. formocresol and sodium hypochlorite in pulpotomy of mandibular primary teeth.
Material and methodology: a randomized controlled single blinded clinical trial was done on 50 subjects of age ranging from 3 to 6 years with bilateral mandibular first or second molar requiring pulpotomy. The subjects were randomly divided into two groups with 25 subjects in each. Group I, consisted of subjects on which formocresol medicament was used after extirpation of coronal pulp while in Group II, 3% sodium hypochlorite was used. Clinical along with the radiographic signs and symptoms were blindly recorded at an interval of 1, 3, 6 and 12 months respectively.
Results: Statistically significant results were obtained in group II, when patients treated with 3% sodium hypochlorite. There was no major difference between the two medicaments used, but to the various adverse effects of formocresol, its usage has been limited.
Conclusion: within the limitation of the study, it was concluded that sodium hypochlorite medicament proved to have better prognosis and can be suggested as a pulpotomy agent for primary teeth. Although formocresol was found to have similar significant results can also be used as a medicament.

Keywords: Formocresol, Pulpotomy, Primary Teeth, Sodium Hypochlorite
Боевые действия на Белгородской черте во второй половине XVII века
Authors: Папков Андрей Игоревич
Published: November 2021

Рассматривается использование укреплений Белгородской черты в ходе военных столкновений. Приведенные данные позволяют говорить о появлении новых приемов ведения боевых действий российскими вооруженными силами, формировавшимися в ходе создания Белгородской черты и Белгородского полка во второй половине XVII в. Конкретные действия зависели от обстановки и соотношения сил. В их основе лежала тактика, ориентированная на ведение боя с использованием защитных возможностей укреплений Белгородской черты. Черта стала использоваться как прикрытие, обеспечивающее свободу маневра российских воинских формирований. Эти изменения привели к появлению новых тактических приемов у татар. Они стали пытаться разрушить укрепления и обеспечить себе возможность прохода вглубь российской территории и отхода обратно. Это привело к необходимости организации системы охраны и обороны самих укреплений, а также к необходимости решать трудоемкую задачу поддержания их в боеспособном состоянии.

Published: November 2021

Background: Peripheral Giant Cell Granuloma (PGCG) considered one of the commonest oral giant cell lesions and gingival epulis. It is probably a non neoplastic lesion but rather reactive in nature which originates from the periodontal membrane or the periosteum as a reaction to chronic trauma or local irritation. This article reports a case of PGCG in a 6 years old male patient complaining of massive gingival swelling associated with looseness of related teeth which is highly unlikely to occur with such lesions, that may lead to misdiagnosis. Material and method: Surgical excision followed by histopathological examination was performed and confirmed using CD34 and CD45 for detection and confirming the origin of multinucleated giant cells (MNGCs). Results: Immunopositivity for CD34 was demonstrated only as cytoplasmic reaction of endothelial cells lining blood vessels while negative reaction was observed in MNGCs or in stromal mononuclear cell. Moreover, cytoplasmic immunoreactivity for CD45 was revealed in MNGCs and few stromal cells. Conclusion: Correlating clinical, radiographic and histopathologic examination reaching definite and early diagnosis is mandatory for management of such lesions thus eliminating potential risk of damaging to adjacent hard tissue structures. Keywords: Peripheral giant cell granuloma; multinucleated giant cells; CD34; CD45.

Objective: Hypertension is a major modifiable cause of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease affecting more than one billion individuals worldwide. Adherence to recommended antihypertensive medications is central to control hypertension. The purpose of this study was to assess medication adherence and its influencing factors among hypertensive patients in Halibet and Hazhaz Hospitals in Asmara, Eritrea. Methods: Hospital-based cross-sectional study was conducted among 360 hypertensive patients in Halibet and Hazhaz Hospitals of Asmara from February through May 2018. A convenience sampling was used to select study participants. Data related to medication adherence were collected using a structured 8-item Morisky Medication Adherence Scale. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 22. A bivariate and multivariate analysis was done to determine independent predictors of medication adherence among hypertensive patients. Adjusted odds ratio (at 95% CI) and p value < 0.05 was used to assert the effect of the independent variables. Results: Out of 360 patients enrolled in the study, two hundred forty nine (69.2%) had good medication adherence and the remaining 30.8% had poor adherence. The study found that Being female (AOR (95% CI): 1.8 (0.63, 4.85), p<0.05), having Monthly income ≥ 1000 nakfa (AOR (95% CI): 2.85 (0.76, 5.61), , p<0.05), having comorbid disease (AOR (95% CI): 2.7 (0.98, 4.23), p<0.05), family history of hypertension (AOR (95% CI): 2.12 (0.78, 5.76), p <0.05), longer duration of hypertension (AOR (95% CI): 1.32 (0.65, 4.89), p< 0.05), BP < 140/90 mmHg (AOR (95% CI): 2.4 (1.41, 8.73), P<0.05), and taking only one pill per day (AOR (95% CI): 2.7 (0.97, 6.84),P<0.05) were factors significantly influenced good medication adherence. Conclusion: Medication adherence among hypertensive patients was relatively high in this study. Increasing adherence counseling and patient education about the disease and its treatment are important measures to scale-up adherence status of patients.
Incidental identification of the aberrant origin of left vertebral artery using magnetic resonance angiography: A case report

Published: November 2021

Background: The vertebral arteries originate from the root of the neck as the first branches of the subclavian arteries. Variations of vertebral arteries are congenital anomalies occurring during embryonic development. Anatomic variations of the left vertebral artery are clinically symptomless and recognized incidentally during angiographic assessments or imaging techniques so the diagnosis of these anomalies is a serious challenge. Anomalous origin of vertebral arteries may lead to neurologic disorders. It is, thus, important to identify variations of the large vessels of the aortic arch when planning neck and cervical spine interventions and diagnostic radiology. For this reason, we would like to present this rare case of left vertebral artery showing a different origin. Case report: In this work, we describe a 60-year-old female patient with headache, lethargy and blurred vision. We employed magnetic resonance angiography for both the brain and neck. There was no lesion in the brain. Incidentally, we found that the root of the left vertebral artery was anatomically aberrant. The left vertebral artery arose from the nearest section of the left external carotid artery, next to the bifurcation of the left common carotid artery, which is a rare variation. Conclusion: Understanding the state of anomalous variations of the origin of the vertebral artery might have crucial implications in angiographic and surgical procedures. It is beneficial to perform more screening with noninvasive studies like neck magnetic resonance angiography in clinical cases with potential symptoms coexisting with other diseases in order to predict possible future problems in intracranial and extracranial interventions. Keywords: Vertebral artery; external carotid artery; anatomic variation; magnetic resonance angiography.

Objectives: The objective of this pictorial review is to make radiologists and clinicians familiar with the typical, atypical and rare CT findings of COVID-19 pneumonia to help in diagnosis as well as in monitoring disease. Main text: Bilateral ground-glass opacities, whether isolated or coexisting with consolidations, and typically in basal, posterior and peripheral lungs are the key findings in COVID-19 pneumonia. With further analysis other typical, atypical and rare CT findings are described and we need to keep in mind that the radiological presentation is dynamic with a rapid evolutive phase, peaking at 10-11 days, and a subsequent absorption phase after 14 days with a decrease in opacities and increase in repairing signs. Conclusion: The presence of typical findings of COVID-19 pneumonia on a chest CT scan during the pandemic outbreak of SARSCoV-2 helps in diagnostic analysis. Chest CT scan has a reported sensitivity of 97-98% in times with a high pre-test probability. Some CT findings (crazy paving pattern and pleural effusion) as well as an increasing percentage of lung opacities are associated with a worse patient outcome, emphasizing the role of chest CT in determining the risk of disease progression. Furthermore chest CT scan is also useful in monitoring disease control. With these acknowledgement we want to give a useful overview of the chest CT manifestations in COVID-19 pneumonia to help decision making in daily practice.

Taking textbooks to task: Case studies from diverse language classrooms
Authors: Group TBLT Special Interest
Published: November 2021

*Are language textbooks any use? How can tasks (TBLT) help?*

In this seminar, the TBLT-SIG group (Task-based Language Teaching special interest group) at LALS will introduce five ongoing TBLT research projects. All five projects are classroom-based and located in settings where mandated textbooks are used, covering Indonesia, Vietnam, New Zealand, and China. Each investigates: (1) whether and how textbook-based lessons can be rejuvenated if taught using principles from TBLT; and (2) the experience of teachers and learners in these task-based lessons and their perceptions of learning benefits. The seminar will begin with a brief overview of TBLT and the vision of the TBLT-SIG group. The group will then provide a snapshot of the research on adapting textbooks being undertaken in each project. The speakers will try and leave plenty of time for questions because we’d really appreciate your feedback.

Attendere prima di usare l’antibiotico nelle infezioni delle vie respiratorie pediatriche non peggiora la prognosi e riduce il consumo di farmaci non necessari: i risultati di un RCT
Authors: Gruppo di lettura di Milano
Published: November 2021

Waiting before using the antibiotic in pediatric respiratory tract infections does not worsen the prognosis and reduces the consumption of unnecessary drugs: the results of an RCT The prescription of antibiotics in pediatric age is high and could be reduced as respiratory diseases often do not require pharmacological intervention. This pragmatic study carried out in primary care in Spain compared three intervention arms: delayed antibiotic prescription, immediate or no prescription; the 30-day follow-up revealed no differences in the duration of the disease or in the severity of symptoms in the three groups of children. Despite the good methodological quality, the RCT could be affected by a significant selection bias; nevertheless, several other studies on the subject lead to similar results.

Published: November 2021

Objective: To study the spectrum of bleeding disorders among women, presenting to the study setting with complaints of menorrhagia. Methodology: This observational cross-sectional study was conducted up on 121 women, during a period of 6 months, who were approached via non-probability, consecutive sampling, presenting to the Dept. of Gyneacology & Pathology – Liaquat University Hospital, Hyderabad with menorrhagia. Data obtained from patient interviews and laboratory investigations were recorded into a self-structured questionnaire after taking written informed consent. The data obtained was analyzed using SPSS v. 21.0. Results: The mean age of the women was 28.13 years (±5.21 SD). Among the underlying hemostatic pathologies, VWD was the most common i.e. 21 (65.6%), followed by other platelet dysfunctions (Glanzman Thrombasthenia (n=5, 15.6%) and Berard Soulier Syndrome i.e. n=3, 9.4%) comprised the second most common finding. A cause of hemostatic pathology among a minority of patients remained unidentified i.e. n=3 (9.4%). Conclusion: Keeping in view of hemostatic defects, the study concludes that VWD is the commonest bleeding disorder among women presenting with menorrhagia. A routine screening of females with menorrhagia on their initial contact with the hospital can save years of suffering and lead to early management and probable recovery.

Authors: Jaramillo Villarruel Darwin Enrique , Hidrobo Guzmán José Fabián , Vásquez Figueroa Tatiana , Reascos Paredes Yu Ling
Published: November 2021

Introducción: La lactancia materna exclusiva es considerada como el recurso necesario para la alimentación, nutrición y el bienestar del niño. Sin embargo, desde hace décadas a nivel mundial se vive el abandono de ésta práctica elemental por factores que inciden directamente en el período mínimo recomendado por la OMS. Objetivo: Identificar los factores socio demográficos que inciden en la lactancia materna exclusiva. Materiales y métodos: El estudio tiene un diseño de tipo descriptivo, explicativo establece relaciones entre conceptos socio-demográficos; está dirigido a determinar causas de la ausencia de lactancia materna debido a eventos étnico culturales y sociales. Se utiliza una encuesta aplicada a una muestra de madres lactantes que pertenecen a la Zona 1 de Ecuador, las variables son características sociodemográficas, conocimiento sobre la lactancia materna y prácticas cotidianas. Resultados: Se evidencia que el 46,9% de las madres analizadas se auto identifican como mestizas y alimentaron a sus bebes con leche materna exclusiva antes de los seis meses de edad, las madres afrodescendientes lo hacen en un 33,1%, las indígenas en un 15,1%, y las madres afro ecuatorianas en un 4,9%. Mientras que el 38,5% se auto identificaron como mestizas alimentaron a sus bebes con leche materna exclusiva seis meses o más de la edad del niño, las indígenas en un 19%. La transición de la lactancia exclusivamente materna a la alimentación complementaria abarca generalmente el periodo que va de los 6 a los 18 o 24 meses de edad y es una fase de gran vulnerabilidad. Conclusión:  Existen costumbres erróneas sobre alimentación de los niños lactantes y menores de 5 años, la falta de educación, el desconocimiento de planificación familiar. Además, va en aumento el número de madres jóvenes, el número de hijos a temprana edad y los escasos recursos económicos que disminuyan, ocasionando una tasa de desnutrición alta en los niños de los sectores rurales de la sierra ecuatoriana.
Representations of Istanbul in A. S. Byatt's 'The Djinn in the Nightingale's Eye
Authors: Bulamur Ayşe Naz
Published: November 2021

This paper explores how Istanbul fantasies in A. S. Byatt’s “The Djinn in the Nightingale’s Eye” (1994) function as a critique of British patriarchal constructions of femininity. In Orientalism Postmodernism and Globalism, Bryan Turner argues that “the Orient in Western imagination is often perceived as the fantastic, it is associated with sexual fantasies” (98). Due to the European invention of Istanbul as “Oriental,” Byatt’s fifty-year-old female protagonist, Gillian Perholt, creates her own fairy tale by miraculously releasing a djinn from a Turkish glass vase in late twentieth-century Istanbul. The British narratologist imagines Istanbul through its nineteenth-century representations that picture the city as a fairytale-like place with Oriental daemons and magical vases. Istanbul’s association with sensuality, however, is problematized as Gillian realizes that her wish for eternal love will not come true with the djinn. In fact, Istanbul, the city that had been the metaphor for gender inequality due to women’s segregated lives in the Ottoman harems, becomes a setting, in Byatt’s novella, where British male standards of beauty and the ideals of happy-ever-after love in fairytales are critiqued.

Of Women and Decadence
Authors: Macura-Nnamdi Ewa
Published: November 2021

This paper reads Ella D’Arcy’s short story “The Pleasure-Pilgrim” as a text engaging with late-nineteenth century discourses of femininity and decadence as they are enacted in the realm of travelling, on one hand, and of decadent aestheticism, on the other. The particular narrative construction of the main heroine, Lulie, is seen here as problematising the gendering of the consumption/production dichotomy and as challenging the masculinist bias of the aesthetic transgressions of decadence. Given this, D’Arcy’s story emerges here as a text that reveals how and why certain assumptions of late-Victorian aestheticism only made room for women as objects but never as subjects of decadent aesthetics.

Re-Conceiving Britomart
Authors: Bennett Kristen Abbott
Published: November 2021

In Books 3 and 5 of The Faerie Queene, the crux of virtue is that one must be able to conceive the difference between right and wrong. But what happens when, according to popular 16th-century belief, "conception" - the ability to generate both intellectual knowledge and biological progeny - is limited to the males of the species? Is the female knight of Chastity an oxymoron? This essay examines Spenser's shift in his representation of Britomart's "virtue" in the 1590 and 1596 versions and the implications generated for the fashioning of both Britomart and her female readers - especially Queen Elizabeth. I will show how Spenser espouses a traditional Aristotelian (one-sex) model of creation in Britomart's story in Book 3 in order to demonstrate his shift to an egalitarian, dual-sexed model in her reprisal in Book 5. Spenser's revision of Britomart's capacity for "conception" and the resulting implications for fashioning her "virtue" will also be analyzed via the palimpsest of allusions to Ovid's Metamorphoses, Plutarch's The Myth of Isis and Osiris, and Apuleius' The Golden Ass.
An Ontological Transgression
Authors: Matuska Ágnes
Published: November 2021

This paper attempts to present various approaches to Iago's function and position in Shakespeare's Othello in order to show different cultural-dramatic levels and layers of contrasting interpretations that are present in the drama. The suggested hypothesis of the paper is that the peculiar ontology of this figure can be explained by the late-Renaissance epistemological crisis and the basic change in the logic of representation that took place at the beginning of the 17th century. A painting by Velaz­quez, Las Meninas, is examined as a parallel to Iago's paradoxical existence and as another example that, similarly to Iago's, reflects and comments on the changed modes of representation of the age.

'It is not so, nor 'twas not so'
Authors: Kállay Géza
Published: November 2021

This paper examines one of Benedick's remarks in the play: "Like the old tale, my lord: 'It is not so, nor 'twas not so: but indeed, God forbid it should be so!' " This quotation is from "an old tale," first identified in 1821 by a certain Mr Blakeway for the old Variorum edition of Much Ado. Drawing especially on the Oxford English Dictionary, I first examine the semantic and the grammatical nature of "It is not so, nor 'twas not so"; then, relying on Paul Ricoeur's The Rule of Metaphor and Stanley Cavell's The Claim of Reason, I argue that reality, just like fiction, is always created in an attitude, in a mode of approaching what is before us; we are only given the so, never the is. Thus, whether what we, within the so, are encountering is 'real' or 'imaginary' will not depend on the amount of certainty we have with respect to the approached object; the object will always be in the mode of is and is not at the same time. Within so, we construct both reality and the imaginary rather through 'it is not not so' than through either just 'is,' or just 'is not.' The difference in our respective attitudes might be that with respect to the imaginary we have a greater awareness of the ever-presence of not in is, or rather of the not not: we do not have a greater or lesser amount of certainty of, but a greater amount of intimacy with, the not not.
“People do not, as a rule, believe in Vampires!”
Authors: Bojti Zsolt
Published: November 2021

The paper analyses the figure of the Hungarian vampire in the short story, “The True Story of a Vampire” (1894) by Count Eric Stenbock in its literary and ideological context. German-speaking Central Europe produced a number of new sexological categories and respective theories concerning same-sex desire in the nineteenth century. The English joined this discourse rather late in the 1890s. These new English texts on the science of same-sex desire, however, were virtually inaccessible or incomprehensible to laymen including homosexuals themselves. The English public’s understanding of same-sex desire came from the press coverage of scandalous trials and clandestine fiction. The paper, understanding Stenbock’s short story as his literary introspection regarding his sexuality, seeks to answer the question why Stenbock conceptualised his sexual desires as vampirism in light of his uncertainty of different controversial discourses on sexuality in the 1890s.

János Batsányi's Early Translations of Ossianic Poems
Authors: Hartvig Gabriella
Published: November 2021

The translation of "The Death of Oscar" is János Batsányi's second Ossianic work published in Magyar Museum (1788/1789), and the only one among the altogether seven extant fragments in which he experimented with the hexametric form. Although two Hungarian scholars of Ossian in the early 20th century, Gusztáv Heinrich and Sándor Maller, do point to Michael Denis's rendering as a possible source, the critical editors of Batsányi's complete works, Keresztury and Tarnai, believed the poem could not be found among Denis's Ossianic translations and thus located two German prose translations as source-texts. This paper, besides offering an explanation of why Batsányi chose this poem, aims to prove through a close textual analysis that the main source for his translation was Denis's Latin hexametric poem, "Mors Oscaris." As the textual analysis shows that even if Batsányi, despite his own established rules of translation, followed Denis almost verbatim, he did enrich and paraphrase the original and probably made the poem more available to the Hungarian reader.
'Sailing' to 'Byzantium'
Authors: Csirmaz Előd Pál
Published: November 2021

While William Butler Yeats's "Sailing to Byzantium" is often described as "less complex" than "Byzantium," the differences between the two poems appear to have rarely been considered on levels other than meaning or referents. This essay aims to unearth a basic textual difference which may account for the above judgement with the help of a framework rooted in structuralism and influenced by the theories of Alexander A. Potebnja. The analyses of the two poems allow the conclusion that while "Byzantium" can be regarded as a symbolic text, "Sailing to Byzantium" approximates that mode of writing without being entirely controlled by it.

Demonstration and Damnation
Authors: Schouten de Jel Joshua
Published: November 2021

In Blake’s mythopoeia, as well as his personal eschatology, belief is the source of life itself; all creative acts, all visionary episodes, stem from an individual’s belief. “Eternal Death,” which is the cycle of Generation, is the result of unbelief. Francis Bacon, Isaac Newton, and John Locke were, for Blake, the triumvirate of culpable votaries for the propagation of rational reductionism which had led to the reification of “Natural Religion” in the form of Deism and Rational Dissent in England and, with the addition of Rousseau and Voltaire, of the apotheosis in France of the Cult of Reason. The French philosophes and the English empiricists were not only at fault for forming the wheels which turned the “dark Satanic Mills?” (M 514 1.8) of man’s cognizance but, and what Blake considered their primary offence, of unbelief. This paper will discuss how unbelief is the main cause of division in Blake’s universe, accentuated “by the cruelties of Demonstration” (M 578 29.36) of empiricists who “Doubt Doubt & dont believe without experiment” (NB 609 5–9), and how the Limits placed upon man’s fall(s) act as one possible mode of redemption which allows for the return of belief and the individual’s creative vision.
Whiteness [In]Visible
Authors: Keller James R.
Published: November 2021

This essay examines Eminem's uneasy relationship with race. He has capitalized on a traditionally African-American art form while emphasizing and simultaneously effacing his own racial heritage. Indeed, one must see Eminem as both black and white in order for his public image to be fully coherent. His speech, gestures, friends, colleagues, economic fortunes, and artistic influences are all Hip Hop clichés while his hair and flesh are stark white. He complains about the difficulty of making it as a Rapper because he is white, and thus invokes the traditional complaint of white labor competing with African-Americans in the workforce, and at the same time admits that his whiteness made him an unprecedented success in the Rap music industry. The essay applies the theories of racial construction to Eminem's lyrics as well as to the film 8 Mile, in which the rapper is impeded in his struggle for success by bias within the African-American Hip Hop apparatus. Thus Eminem is cast in the traditional narrative of the underdog who overcomes doubt and discrimination in order to achieve dazzling success, yet ironically this scenario is played out against a power structure that is the tradition target rather than the perpetrator of discrimination.
Extreme Subjectivity
Authors: Gyimesi Brigitta
Published: November 2021

The majority of narratives assign death scenes a crucial role in the development of the plot and characters; yet despite its prominence, dying per se frequently remains untold, with works utilising first-person narrators or focalisers proving especially problematic. From a commonsensical point of view, the authors’reluctance at representing the moment of deathis justifiable since they do not possess any comparable experience. But the fact that all first-person descriptions of death are inauthentic does not mean that they cannot be subject to narrative representation. As it will be demonstrated through the discussion of some recent work in the field of ‘unnatural narratology’ and the cognitive sciences, it may be possible to create a valid and valuable narrative of death even from a first-person perspective.
As McFate Would Have It
Authors: Farkas Ákos
Published: November 2021

Establishing multiple instances of intertextuality between Vladimir Nabokov's Lolita and James Joyce's Ulysses, this article seeks more significant analogies between the two works than some curious but easily demonstrated instances of gender and ethnic related motivic echoing. Thus it is shown that Nabokov believed himself to be emulating Joyce's example of breaking the narrative frame of his novel to make room for his own authorial self. The essay asks, but declines to answer, whether the authorial hide-and-seek observed in the two novels provides evidence of Joyce and Nabokov having both been proto-postmodernists of sorts, or else the very ease with which their self-referential riddles can be solved locates them in an earlier tradition of the novel.

Stories of Telltale Eyes
Authors: László Borbála
Published: November 2021

This paper attempts to rethink the concept of the filmic gaze through a comparative analysis of three films, namely, Krzysztof Kieślowski’s Krótki film o miłości (A Short Filmabout Love, 1988), Ferzan Ozpetek’s La Finestra di Fronte (Facing Windows, 2003), and Wes Anderson’s Moonrise Kingdom (2012). ‘Filmic gaze’ here refers not to the production of the filmic/discursive self through suture but to the whole fabric of the film, which is construed as a looking subject. Kaja Silverman’s cinematic suture theory and Descartes’s dark room parable are employed to illustrate how the passivising filmic gaze of classical narrative cinema confines the spectator to the position of the voyeur, who observes rather than creates the scene that pleases her. A Short Film about Love is analysed to demonstrate conventional film-audience dynamics and is then compared with two contemporary auteur films, Facing Windows and Moonrise Kingdom, which, by addressing viewers through the characters’ telltale eyes, keep reconceiving suture as they go along, blurring the boundary between intra-diegetic and extra-diegetic looks, and thus offering spectators a more active and varied spectatorial agency than that of the voyeur.

A Certain Comparison
Authors: Rosenthal Edna
Published: November 2021

The comparison of Eliot's implicit use of the Poetics in his critical essays with Lessing's radical reinterpretation of the treatise in his critique of Neoclassical drama in Hamburg Dramaturgy shows that their views converge on formal affectivism, a concise formula for Aristotle's conception of tragedy. Their agreement on the nature and limits of aesthetic discourse, critical terminology, and drama far outweighs the divergence in their views of later classicisms, reinforcing the validity of Aristotle's criteria and their applicability to the verbal arts in different cultural milieux. But Eliot goes further than Lessing: he reinstates formal affectivism as the foundation of modern criticism by extending Aristotle's dramatic principles to poetry and to literary history. Eliot rehabilitates Aristotle in a post-Romantic age by using his principles to transcend earlier canons - the Romantic, Neoclassical, Renaissance, and classical - and concomitantly invents a modernist critical canon. To him the implications of misconceiving Aristotle's organicist aesthetics and object-centered criticism surpass aesthetic considerations per se. The Poetics informs his attempt to unify the European cultural tradition - its literature and its criticism - which, starting in ancient Greece, culminates in his paradoxical notion of an avant-garde classicist modernism.

Portraits of Piety
Authors: Bailey Ted
Published: November 2021

This paper first examines the use of authenticating devices in the antebellum slave narratives and then goes on to analyze how the these authorial strategies are carried over from African-American autobiography into two fictionalized autobiographies from the 1850s. In particular, the paper argues for including portrayals of black religious belief as one of the many generic strategies used by antebellum slave narrators to convince their potentially skeptical audience that they were reading "the real thing." In investigating how authenticating strategies are incorporated into Harriet Wilson's Our Nig (1859) and Hannah Crafts's The Bondwoman's Narrative (1855-61?), the relative artistic success of the two writers is evaluated and the implications of borrowing techniques from autobiography for fiction discussed. By looking at texts from the 1850s, a decade when the slave narrative reached its height in popularity and the first fictional works in African-American literature were being composed, a glimpse is gained into a transitional moment in black writing.
