Demographic and etiological analysis of peripheral vertigo, as a common public health problem
Authors: Mehar Hemant , Bhandari Pranay , Sachdeva Kavita
Published: August 2022

Background: Vertigo was defined by Gowers in 1893 as any movement or sense of movement either in the individual himself or in external environment that involves a defect, real or seeming in the equilibrium of body. The aim of present study was evaluation of demographics and etiology of patient presenting with vertigo.

Methods: The study was prospective study. Present study consisted of an assessment of 55 cases of vertigo whose examination was conducted in the ENT department. All patients were evaluated for the various causes of vertigo and include all the age group and both sexes.

Results: Out of 55 patients, 80% belonged to 21-50 years age group. In present study, 29 cases out of 55 cases were diagnosed as a case of BPPV. Among them 22 diagnosed as posterior canal BPPV (benign paroxysmal positional vertigo) and 7 as horizontal canal BPPV.

Conclusions: The maximum number of patients belongs in the 4 decades. Of the associated sign and symptoms dizziness is most common than dizziness with other sign and symptoms. Among peripheral causes posterior canal BPPV is most common. This approach leads not only to diagnosis but also helps to plan the intervention for the patient. In the present study, 12 cases (21.8%) were diagnosed clinically normal. It shows those tests used in this study are efficient to diagnose true or false vertigo.

Authors: Patni Digant , Yadav Shobit , Prajapati Kamal K. , Munjal V. R.
Published: August 2022

Background: Purpose of study was to evaluate clinical, radiological, pathological correlation of sinonasal masses, to correlate age and sex with etiology of sinonasal masses and to evaluate percentage of patient having malignancy.

Methods: This was a hospital based prospective observational study. In this study total numbers of 69 cases of sinonasal mass were selected from those patients who were admitted in department of otorhinolaryngology and head and neck surgery SAMC and PGI Indore MP from June 2019 to August 2021.

Results: Sinonasal masses are more common in 4th to 6th decade, males, farmers and lower socioeconomic status. Most common presented symptom with sinonasal mass was nasal obstruction. Patients shows polypoidal mass in nasal endoscopy, which was most common finding. Most of the patients radiological scan shows the opacity. 26.1% cases were neoplastic and rest non neoplastic. These rules however, may be broken in sinonasal imaging. The relative number of non-neoplastic and neoplastic lesions varies from region to region. A provisional diagnosis was made after clinical assessment and radiological investigation but final diagnosis was made after histopathological examination.

Conclusions: From the above study, it is clear that radiological examination and nasal endoscopy is helpful and important adjunct to overall clinicopathological evaluation of patients but it is not free of fallacies. Hence a thorough radiological, clinicopathological evaluation with pre op endoscopic evaluation and histopathology is necessary for better management of patients presenting with sinonasal masses.

Authors: Kalloli Mahesh , Gupta Ankit , Patil Rashmi S. , Pandey Kritika , Garg Kavya
Published: August 2022

Thyroid gland (TG) metastasis by laryngeal cancer is uncommon. However, now a days following concept of ‘organ preservation’, so ipsilateral hemithyroidectomy is not required in every case with total laryngectomy (TL) for laryngeal cancer. Studies for T3 and T4 laryngeal cancer having, anterior commissure involvement, transglottic growth or subglottic extension indicates thyroidectomy in the majority of cases. Hemithyroidectomies are linked to hypothyroidism in 23–63% of cases and hypoparathyroidism in 25–52% of cases. There is no recognized link between tumour differentiation and TG involvement. According to reports, the prognosis in cases of TG involvement is poor. The tumour differentiation determines whether the spread is contiguous or noncontiguous. Contiguous spread is more likely in well-differentiated carcinomas, while non-contiguous spread is more likely in poorly or moderately differentiated carcinomas. Anatomically, direct TG invasion is only possible through extralaryngeal soft tissue, which includes the cricothyroid and cricopharyngeus muscles. Non-contiguous spread only possible through lymphovascular invasion which is not necessarily, but seen in 87-91% of cases with subglottic extension over 10 mm, as seen in our case also.

Published: August 2022

Background: The natural history of Lumber hernia of nucleus pulpous is not fully known and absolute indications for surgical intervention cannot be established. Several studies have shown that the most giant discs appear to have the greatest tendency to resolve with conservative treatment. The objective of this study is to investigate whether massive prolapsed discs can be safely managed conservatively once clinical improvement has occurred.

Methods: Thirty-five patients were studied by clinical assessments and serial magnetic imaging over 3 years. Patients present with intense sciatica but began to show clinical improvement despite massive disc prolapsed. Clinical assessment included the Lasegue test and neurological improvement. The Oswestry disability index was used to measure function and changes in function. Serial MRI studies allowed the measurement of volume changes of the prolapsed disc material over some time.

Results: Initial follow-up at an average of 13.2 months showed that 87% had complete and sustained recovery at the initial follow-up. Only four patients required surgery. The average Oswestry disability index improved from 63% to 20%. Volumetric analysis of serial MRI scans showed an average reduction of 69% in disc size.

Conclusions: A massive disc prolapsed can pursue a favourable course. If early progress is shown, the long-term prognosis is very good and even massive disc prolapses can be treated conservatively.

Authors: Anaba Ehiaghe L. , Arabambi Babawale
Published: August 2022

Background: Primary drug non-adherence, a pervasive problem in dermatology is not readily documented despite the adverse effect of this phenomenon on the management of patients. The aim of the study was to document the prevalence, pattern and reasons for primary drug non-adherence in dermatology patients.

Methods: This prospective cross-sectional questionnaire based study was conducted from June to December 2021 amongst 302 consecutive consenting adult patients returning to the dermatology clinic following an initial diagnosis and a prescription for medications. Data collected included socio-demographic parameters, primary drug adherence, and number of drugs prescribed, number not purchased, and reason for non-adherence. Data analysis was done in R Studio [R Core Team (2021)].

Results: Three hundred and two (302) patients aged 13 to 87 years with a mean age of 41.72±18.8 years were recruited into the study. Prevalence of primary non-drug adherence was 26.2% (79/302). Amongst the non-adherent patients; 73.4% were females and 26.6% were males. The reasons for non-drug adherence ranged from non-availability of drug (63.3%) to patient forgetting about the prescription. (1.3%). Route of drug not adhered to was Topical in 72%, Oral in 22.7%, oral and topical in 5.3.

Conclusions: Primary drug non-adherence is common with dermatology patients. The propensity for primary non-drug adherence is increased when the number of drugs prescribed are more than three. Dermatologists need to consider the use of drugs capable of addressing multiple symptoms and thereby reduce the number of drugs prescribed.

Published: August 2022

Background: Facial hyperpigmentation is a common presentation in Indian subjects and its treatment is complex. The aim of the study was to evaluate efficacy and safety of a 56-day skincare regimen of topical 3,4,5-trihydroxybenzoic acid glucoside (THBG/Brightenyl®) and α-arbutin containing formulation along with a sunscreen in the management of facial dark spots and melasma.

Methods: Thirty-six female subjects with facial dark spots or melasma who met inclusion/exclusion criteria were enrolled in a prospective, single-arm, study in India. Subjects applied a skin brightening cream containing 10% THBG and 2% α-arbutin twice daily in combination with a sunscreen (SPF=55) once daily; on their whole face for 56 days. Evaluation was carried out at baseline, days 28, 42 and 56 by the same dermatologist and technician. Efficacy was evaluated using mexameter, modified Melasma Area and Severity Index (mMASI), chromameter and cross-polarized light photography.

Results: There was a significant reduction in melanin content (mexametry) and mMASI score compared with the baseline. On chromametry, a significant improvement was seen in skin brightness/lightness (L*) and pigmentation [individual typology angle (ITA°)] demonstrating modification in skin color with an improvement in homogeneity/evenness of the skin tone (ΔE*) from the baseline. At day 56, the total area of the pigmentary spots on the cheeks showed a significant reduction compared to baseline using cross-polarized light photography. The treatment was well tolerated.

Conclusions: This study demonstrates that application of formulation containing 10% THBG and 2% α-arbutin along with a sunscreen is well-tolerated and efficacious in the management of facial hyperpigmentation like dark spots or melasma.

Published: August 2022

Background: Progressive pigmented purpuric dermatosis (PPPD) is a chronic cutaneous presents with petechiae, purpura on hyperpigmented yellowish-brown macules or patches. Diagnosis is straight forward, sometimes may be challenging for the diagnosis. Dermoscopy is a non-invasive tool. It gives characteristic patterns in PPPD. However, dermoscopic descriptions in skin of color are limited to case reports. Here, dermoscopic evaluation in skin of color is studied in detail.  

Methods: It was a cross sectional observation study. Ethical clearance and written consent was obtained. Patients of skin type 4 and 5, attending dermatology clinic with suspected lesions of PPPD were selected serially. Handheld dermoscope was used for examination. Site for dermoscopic examination was considered as target area. Skin biopsy was taken. Dermoscopic patterns were analysed and features were correlated with histopathological changes.

Results: Totally 30 patients with 27 males and 3 females were enrolled. Schamberg’s disease was commonest type noted in 21patients. Eczematoid, lichen aureus, and lichenoid types were seen in 2 (6.7%) each. Hence, overall occurrence of Schamberg’s disease was statistically significant (p=0.028). Commonest dermoscopic findings were brown pigment network and yellowish-brown dots/globules. Least common features included linear vessels and bluish globules. Distorted pigment network noted in 29 (96.7%).

Conclusions: Dermoscopy of PPPD shows characteristic patterns of which pigment network, red globules and yellowish-brown globules are the basic features. These features correlate well with histopathological changes. Yellowish-brown globules and background are prominently observed in skin of color. Larger studies are recommended to validate these differences.

Published: August 2022

Adenoma malignum also called minimal deviation adenocarcinoma or minimal deviation carcinoma, is a rare disease. It is tricky to diagnose this condition because of its benign look. It forms a subtype of mucinous endocervical adenocarcinoma. Also, these lesions have an endophytic growth and are located deep in the cervix rather than an exophytic growth like any other adenocarcinoma of the cervix. Radiologically and clinically can resemble a benign, less harmful disease. However, it sometimes mimics multiple Nabothian cysts because of its benign look. In most cases, it had been an incidental finding when being evaluated for any other causes where hysterectomy was done. It usually presents between the age of 25-70 years and peaks at a median age of 42 years. Thus, this case report is an eye opener to keep Adenoma malignum is a close differential for watery discharge per vaginum. Although it is a rare tumour, it has an aggressive nature.

Authors: Pol Jaydeep N , Pol Vaishali J , Patil Pradipta R
Published: August 2022

Osseous choristoma is the formation of normal mature bone at an abnormal position. These are rare benign tumor-like growth usually asymptomatic except growth or swelling as the clinical presentation. In oral cavity, osseous choristoma is rare and commonly found in posterior third of the tongue. Clinically it is misdiagnosed as malignancy because of its hardness. Clinically, it is also mistaken for other oral cavity lesions, especially those of minor salivary gland lesions of oral cavity. Hence, awareness amongst clinicians, general practitioners and oral pathologists about oral osseous choristomas is necessary. Here, we report two cases of osseous choristoma in the oral cavity located at sites other than tongue.

Hodgkin’s Lymphoma is a B- Cell neoplasm occurring in lymph nodes and extra-nodal sites. Among the latter, skin involvement is a rare phenomenon with a very low incidence rate. Cutaneous involvement of Hodgkin’s Lymphoma may have varied clinical presentations from erythematous papules to ulcers. However, a thorough search in histology shows the classic RS cells which are diagnostic of Hodgkin’s lymphoma, but this needs a high degree of suspicion. Presentation of Hodgkin Lymphoma, in an elderly female patient of 60 years of age bearing erythematous skin changes over breast which made a clinical suspicion of inflammatory breast carcinoma, is presented here.
Estamos em atraso?: Uma análise de dados sobre a institucionalização da Pós-Graduação do Direito e das Ciências Humanas e Sociais Aplicadas no Brasil
Authors: Pimenta Filho Luiz Cláudio , Sales Fernando Romani , Dantas Maia Gabriel
Published: August 2022

O artigo tem por objetivo apresentar uma comparação entre dados da pós-graduação no Direito e nas Ciências Humanas e Sociais Aplicadas no Brasil. Para tanto, pretende-se descrever dados coletados em bases disponibilizadas pela CAPES até o ano de 2018. O trabalho parte da hipótese levantada por Marcos Nobre em 2003 de que o Direito apresentaria um “atraso relativo” da pesquisa científica em comparação às demais Ciências Humanas e Sociais Aplicadas. A análise não tem por foco a possível questão teórico-epistemológica deste atraso, mas sim as dificuldades da institucionalização da pesquisa científica no Direito, conforme apontada por Roberto da Silva Fragale Filho e Alexandre  Veronese em 2004 e detalhada por Alexandre Veronese em 2007. A descrição destes dados tem por objetivo verificar em que medida as hipóteses levantadas na literatura encontram fundamento nos dados, bem como melhor caracterizar os problemas relativos a essa baixa institucionalização. A conclusão é de que os dados demonstram uma substancial diferença entre o Direito e as demais áreas, o que dá suporte aos diagnósticos levantados na literatura.
A hipervulnerabilidade do idoso no superendividamento: as intersecções jurídicas entre o Público e o Privado a determinar políticas públicas sob o viés da solidariedade na fase pré-contratual
Authors: Steffens Bárbara Michele Kunde
Published: August 2022

O objeto desta tese é a consolidação de ações para políticas públicas, a partir do marco teórico do princípio da solidariedade, dentro do processo de intersecções jurídicas entre o Público e o Privado, voltadas à prevenção do superendividamento do idoso que, no âmbito dos contratos de crédito consignado, é consumidor de vulnerabilidade agravada. A relevância do tema se revela em face das práticas mercantilistas perpetradas pelas instituições financeiras que, pela violação ao direito de o idoso ser informado com lealdade, transparência e responsabilidade, têm estimulado excessivamente o consumo e concedido o crédito de forma irresponsável, potencializando o risco do superendividamento.

Purpose of the study: This study aims to highlight the importance of travelogue and Poetry.

Methodology: The article explains the travelogue and poetry with the help of multiple references applying analytical research methodology.

Main Findings: To get closer to any work of art means to be better reflected in life, as a result of which its greatness is acknowledged as well. If Ghalib was bent on giving his whole diwan for one verse of Momin, it was because of the vast study of the Momin. In any genre of literature, deep observation is of fundamental importance. Without deep observation, no piece of literature can be accepted. Today, the rise of the Azad Nazm and travelogue in poetry is also because the writers of these genres have seen the world around them with their open eyes by realizing every scenario with its components. Efforts have been made after examining life to draw intellectual conclusions from it.

Cross-curricular topics are topics that will instil in students from an early age universal values ​​and competencies for action in modern society. There are seven cross-curricular topics in the Republic of Croatia: personal and social development, learning how to learn, civic education, health, entrepreneurship, the use of information and communication technology and sustainable development. The fundamental meaning of introducing cross-curricular topics into the teaching process is the adoption of topics of general human values ​​and competencies for a dignified life in the 21st century. The methodology consists of analysis matrix of different cross-curriculum topics and outcomes that students in individual classes should achieve. The aim of this paper is to raise awareness of the importance of education for active and independent action within the community. Outcomes of interdisciplinary topics are realized in the teaching hours of all subjects. Regardless of the importance they carry within themselves, modern teachers often neglect cross-curricular topics, depriving students of knowledge and skills that would be useful to them in everyday life, in relation to themselves, their work and others.

Na Krasu se sekundarna travišča, zaščitena pod okriljem omrežja Natura 2000, zaraščajo z gozdom. Do konca stoletja jim grozi skoraj popolno izginotje. Časovna vrsta več spektralnih podob satelitov Landsat v kombinaciji s prostorskimi podnebnimi podatki razkriva dinamiko zaraščanja odprtih habitatov na Krasu. Rezultati kažejo, da lahko do konca stoletja zaradi interakcije naravnih in družbenih razmer izgine tudi več kot tri četrtine trenutno obstoječih odprtih habitatov. Neugodna starostna sestava nosilcev kmetijskih gospodarstev, razdrobljenost kmetijskih zemljišč in opuščanje živinoreje le pospešuje krčenje vrstno bogatih in zaščitenih travišč. Predstavljen metodološki pristop omogoča monitoring in načrtovanja kmetijskih in naravovarstvenih dejavnosti na regionalni ravni in napoved razvoja sukcesije pod vplivom prihodnjih podnebnih sprememb.
Репрезентация ключевого звукообраза НЕДО в балладе В. Высоцкого "Прерванный полет"
Authors: Иванян Елена
Published: August 2022

Работа исследует звукопись баллады В. Высоцкого Прерванный полет. Цель – описать репрезентацию ключевого образа текста. Гипотеза: обращение к ключевому образу НЕДО, являющемуся символом русской лингвокультуры, даст нетривиальные результаты. Баллада изучалась литературоведами в сопоставлении с творчеством классиков, характеризовался образ героя баллады; лингвисты упоминали балладу, исследуя сложную приставку недо- в компаративистике, еe бытование в литературе. Лингвопоэтический анализ показал: репрезентация звукообраза НЕДО осуществляется с помощью анафонии и еe разновидности – анаграммы. Репрезентация описана на шести основаниях: по количеству репрезентируемых частей сложного звукообраза (полная и частичная), по расстоянию между репрезентируемыми частями (контактная и дистантная); по способу репрезентации частей звукообраза (прямому и инверсивному); по манифестации репрезентации звукообраза (звукобуквенной и звуковой); по форме репрезентируемой части (непрерывной и дискретной); по месту репрезентации части звукообраза (аналитической и синтетической); по количественному составу звукобукв части репрезентации (полная и редуцированная). Общая характеристика НЕДО в балладе свидетельствует, что ключевой образ передает содержательно-концептуальную информацию и посыл произведения – судьба зависит не только от обстоятельств, но и позиции человека. В реализации сложного звукообраза участвуют четыре лексико-грамматических классa слов и фразеологизм. Предложенная методология изучения анафонии и анаграммы в поэтическом тексте действенна для лингвопоэтического анализа.
Об этимологических и семантических соответствиях русской лексемы "гордость" в славянских языках
Authors: Стефанский Евгений
Published: August 2022

В статье анализируется славянская лексика, обозначающая ‘гордость’. При этом, с одной стороны, рассматриваются лексемы, передающие данное понятие в разных славянских языках, и их ценностные характеристки. С другой – анализируются семантические процессы, которые привели к тому, что слова, восходящие к праславянскому корню *gr̥d-, в ряде славянских языков изменили свое значение.

Материал для исследования собирался на основе параллельных текстов (оригиналов и переводов) и национальных корпусов славянских языков. Применялись сопоставительный, сравнительно-исторический, системноструктурный методы.

Анализ показал, что только русский и болгарский литературные языки не развили энантиосемию корня *gr̥d-. В западнославянских языках энантиосемия корня *gr̥d- развилась в сторону семантики презрения, однако данный корень активно продолжает использоваться для обозначения позитивной гордости. Одновременно для передачи негативной гордости в этих языках употребляется корень *pych-. Украинский и белорусский языки развили аналогичную западнославянским языкам энантиосемию и получили в качестве центрального средства обозначения негативной гордости корень *pych-, но сохранили, как в русском языке, корень *gr̥d- для передачи как негативной, так и позитивной гордости. Сербский, хорватский и словенский языки развили энантиосемию корня *gr̥d- в сторону значения ‘уродливый’, для обозначения положительной гордости в них используется лексема ponos и ее дериваты, негативная гордость выражается с помощью заимствованного из русского корня -горд-.
Ономастический мир Михаила Зощенко
Authors: Супрун Василий
Published: August 2022

В статье рассматриваются онимы, используемые Михаилом Зощенко в своих рассказах и повестях в трeх функциях: 1) обозначение главного действующего лица и места действия; 2) номинация второстепенного персонажа и географического объекта; 3) обозначение фонового персонажа или объекта. Статья продолжает зощенковедческие исследования польского учeного Ярослава Вежбиньского. Антропонимы в произведениях М.М. Зощенко обозначают главных и второстепенных героев, топонимы (ойконимы, урбанонимы и др.) называют место действия, единицы периферийных разрядов чаще всего выступают для обозначения фоновых объектов. Автор именуют своих героев по имени и отчеству, что является специфической чертой русского этикета, отличающей его от культурно-языковых ситуаций других народов. Лиц, стоящих на более низкой социальной ступени, писатель именует краткими и фамильярно-пренебрежительными формами антропонима. Ономастический стиль М.М. Зощенко включает использование полной антропонимической формулы имя + отчество + фамилия при представлении героя.

La jalousie dans “Les Diversitez” de Jean-Pierre Camus
Authors: Pietrzak Witold Konstanty
Published: August 2022

Literary career of Jean-Pierre Camus started with his admiration for Montaigne’s Essais which became the pattern of his first work, “Les Diversitez”. The tome IX of this rich collection of various forms concerns passions of the soul and scholars are unanimous in considering it as the foundation of his religious teaching, both by word and by writing. Contrary to medical and moral thought in force at the threshold of modernity, the bishop of Belley believes passions are neutral, neither good nor bad, and acquire their meaning by the use man makes of them. This is in particular the case of jealousy which the writer understands as an effect of love. Yet in his treaty of passions the author describes on just several pages only the jealousy of God and for more details he refers the reader to two other places of “Les Diversitez” where, he says, he has already raised the issue of this feeling. In fact, a chapter of the tome II and a letter of the tome VIII deal with the problem of human jealousy. This paper first shows different discursive forms that Camus uses to analyze jealousy. Then it focuses on the author’s definition of jealousy, ‘desire for exclusive possession of the loved object’, and on its effects – often tragical, always painful – in the daily life of spouses. Finally, it appears that the author’s taste for dichotomous presentation of passions leads him to childish images of jealous God and implicitly to an inacceptable hypothesis of jealousy of the creature in front of a supposedly unfaithful God.
« Un vif sentiment de plaisir » L’art de vivre "à la marocaine" selon Eugène Delacroix et Tahar Ben Jelloun
Authors: Sokołowicz Małgorzata
Published: August 2022

The present paper focuses on the travel of Eugène Delacroix to Morocco (first six months of 1832) and his accounts given in his travel notes, letters and an unfinished travelogue, “Souvenirs d’un voyage dans le Maroc”. The writings of the famous painter are contrasted with the book by a Moroccan writer, Tahar Ben Jelloun, “Lettre à Delacroix” (2005). The aim of the paper is to define the art of living à la marocaine according to the French painter and the Moroccan writer. It is done in three parts. The first one is devoted to the beauty of Moroccan landscapes, horses and architecture. The second focuses on the art of dressing: the beauty of the inhabitants of the country and the elegance of their cloths. The last part discusses Moroccan traditions, based – according to Delacroix – on Antiquity.
La tentation du mal À propos "d’Un roi sans divertissement” de Jean Giono
Authors: Jarosz Krzysztof
Published: August 2022

In 1946, only a year after the World War II, Jean Giono, who became famous in the years 1929-1939 as a writer describing the human’s struggle with nature, writes “A King Alone” (“Un roi sans divertissement”), a novel which surprises his past readers with one of the characters being a serial killer fulfilling the uncontrolled need for entertainment by killing people. Langlois, the gendarmerie captain tasked with finding the murderer, attempts to understand the motive of the criminal turned from a respected and exemplary citizen into a potential assassin. Not to become the felon’s imitator, Langlois commits suicide. Giono’s novel is a tale of evil inextricably linked to human nature (the murderer’s name is Monsieur V. like in “voisin” – neighbor). The novel did not gain the popularity it deserved because after the World War II evil was the most willingly looked for in the defeated countries of the Axis (Germany, Italy, Japan), and the communist-opposed author was blacklisted by National Writers’ Committee, controlled by the Stalinists. “A King Alone” is a personal reflection of a writer marked by war, constituting the expression of his most pessimistic vision of human nature influenced by Machiavelli, Hobbes and Sade. The message of the novel is ambiguous: on the one hand, Langlois prefers committing suicide over being a tool of evil residing in every person; on the other hand, he interiorizes Mr. V.’s motives by exploring them, thus becoming – like any other human in Giono’s view – a potential killer. Langlois’ last act, when he takes his own life, makes him a figure of dark Christ, permeated by evil, who sacrifices himself not to become another link in the chain of malevolent individuals passing on to the potential imitators the penchant for killing, understood here as the highest form of entertainment and the contemplation of human mortality, embodied by the victim.
“L’Horloge des siècles” (1902) d’Albert Robida. No “future” ou la vie à rebours
Authors: Lévêque Laure
Published: August 2022

French writer Albert Robida, renowned for his futuristic works of fiction written in a bitter-sweet tone, somehow broke away from his usual inspiration in “The Clock of the Centuries” (published in 1902), as electric life short-circuited. This atypical novel opens up, in the early stages of the twentieth century Robida now refuses to anticipate and explore, with a cataclysm that all but extinguishes every form of life on earth and gives a symbolic warning that there is “something wrong in the civilized world”. Survival is organized, but Robida then subverts the “post-apocalyptic” narrative to introduce an unprecedented variation: the survivors realize that, after the catastrophe, an “out-of-joint” universe, in which the hands of time are now ticking in reverse, has now taken over. Comic relief is provided by the heroes getting younger and historical figures being brought back to life, but conceals the violence of the continuity solution staged by Robida in this counter-clockwise anticipation novel, as the restoration of order is achieved under the aegis of a mutilated Janus. This gave the momentum for an anti-progressive eschatology, which turned out to have a great future in literature.
Dans les méandres de la littérature dystopique: le pouvoir de l’art contre l’art du pouvoir
Authors: Ayed Kawthar
Published: August 2022

In this paper, the author examines the distortion of the past and the perversion of art in works of speculative dystopian fiction. Without history, there is no longer a past or a future; only the present persists as a perpetual replication of the same structures. In “1984”, everything is constantly rewritten in minute detail. In “Globalia”, the system wages a fierce war against history. Art is either recuperated or condemned to burn at the stake of state power (“Fahrenheit 451”). However, discovering art objects from past times and reading literary works signal a change of course which raises conscience and even leads to acts of resistance. In dystopian speculative literature, resistance acquires a symbolic dimension: Despite reigning darkness, there seems to appear a gleam of hope thanks to art and to literature.
La mimesi dell’Altro nella narrative di Giuseppe Culicchia
Authors: Puto Małgorzata
Published: August 2022

The objective of the study is to identify and examine the essential elements which constitute the concept of the “Other” in the novels of Giuseppe Culicchia. The texts analyzed were published by Culicchia, writer, essayist and translator in Turin, Italy, from 1994 to 2019. The theoretical literary perspective is that of mimesis (Erich Auerbach, Zofia Mitosek, Nicoletta Salomon, Cesare Segre) and the concept of the “l’Altro” derives from anthropological studies (Marc Augé, Marco Aime, Ugo Fabietti, Francesco Remotti). The purpose of this study is to promote interdisciplinary research and to present the model of the Other and its evolution in novels. The article focuses on aspects of otherness, more apparent in Culicchia, that is to say: distance and space (the idea of nonluogo, mente locale, mobility), set of values and the consequent changes in the characters of his novels.
L’arte di vivere ne “Il professore di Viggiù” di Aldo Nove. Uno studio sulla vita umana sulla base di un’intervista mai avvenuta
Authors: Kobylska Dominika
Published: August 2022

The analysis presented in this article concerns one of the newest philosophical novels of Aldo Nove, entitled “Il professore di Viggiù” (2018). In the book the author presents an invented interview with mysterious person, by which he transmits reflections on human life in the modern world. The text evokes the existential issues concerning the increasingly precarious conditions in which people live torn between doubts about the reality of their own being. The aim of the research is to emphasize the motifs which can be seen in the work of the Italian writer and to answer the questions related to his way of showing the consumer society.
Tiempo malgastado. Sobre el aplazamiento de la escritura en tres novelas hispanoamericanas
Authors: Rodríguez Amán Rosales
Published: August 2022

In the last decades, many studies have proliferated on the different ways in which a specific modality of consumer society, characterized by an unbridled acceleration of the rhythms of production and work, affects the lives of millions of people, especially in highly industrialized nations. These studies suggest that the individuals, under the pressure of an increasingly accelerated and frenetic pace of life, are compelled to perform certain roles and achieve certain goals that, if satisfactorily fulfilled, could guarantee success, or, at least, social acceptance. But what happens when you cannot or do not want to perform and fulfil such roles and expectations “fast” enough, when the individual prolongs or just abandons the entrusted task? In the richly diverse world of Latin American fiction, many writers have tackled this question. In base of three novels of different years: “El libro vacío” (1958), by the Mexican Josefina Vicens, “Wasabi” (1994), by the Argentine Alan Pauls, and “La novela luminosa” (2005), by the Uruguayan Mario Levrero, this paper comments the role played in contemporary fiction by the figure of the apathic, indolent or just slow-moving writer. The main characters of those novels seem to live in a slow-time dimension opposed to the fast one dominant in late modernity.
Lo fantástico como vía de supervivencia para Ana Blandiana; vivir, recordar y soñar
Authors: Mandart Mylène
Published: August 2022

Ana Blandiana, an internationally recognized writer, has been an opponent of the dictatorial regime of Nicolae Ceaușescu. She is a censored poet; she has had to struggle to find a way to convey her words. She became a symbol of the resistance, and despite the prohibition she continued to write; several of her tales and poems are both a reflection and a critique of how she lived under communist totalitarianism. Blandiana finds a way to live through writing. She ties her works to the fantasy genre, which are divided between a dream world and a historical reality. The dream is the place chosen by the writer to be able to express herself freely through the voice of her characters. In addition to the spatial duality, Blandiana chooses to situate her narratives in a temporal duality. The protagonists are immersed in the writer’s own past, and in an eternal present through which she projects her hopes for a better future.
“Esta primavera fugitive” de Alberto Conejero (2021). “El príncipe constante” de Calderón de la Barca como el arte de vivir, sobrevivir y revivir
Authors: Baczyńska Beata
Published: August 2022

The article studies a theatrical project staged at Teatro de la Comedia in Madrid by Alberto Conejero, with Susi Sánchez y José Troncoso, based on “El príncipe constante” by Calderón: “Esta primavera fugitive” (“Varaciones sobre «El príncipe constante» de Calderón de la Barca”). The performance was commissioned by Compañía Nacional de Teatro Clásico and staged on 17th of March 2021. The playwright converged several voices in his personal recast to manifest the strength and universality of “El príncipe constante”. The “mise-enabyme” effect is stressed by the presence of Alberto in his play, as well as the mention of Jerzy Grotowski, Ryszard Cieślak and Juliusz Słowacki, the author of the Polish version of “The Constant Prince”. Different testimonies confirm the fundamental function of theater as “ars vitae”.
La ricezione dei film di Roberto Rossellini nei periodici cinematografici polacchi dal 1946 al 1956
Authors: Miller-Klejsa Anna
Published: August 2022

In this article I focus on examining the reception of Roberto Rossellini’s films in Polish film journals (period: 1946-1956) and cultural magazines. The analysis shows that while Rossellini’s first post-war film – “Roma città aperta” – was positively received in the People’s Republic of Poland until 1949, from the early 1950s onwards – i.e. during the Stalinist period – there was a rather critical turn, as Soviet cinema and the poetics of socialist realism came to the fore. From this moment on, Italian neo-realism was accused of pessimism and of having lost its “great revolutionary prospects”. This critical attitude changed during the so-called thaw period, when neorealism became a kind of reference model. However, because of their explicit religious themes, some neo-realist films were not allowed by the censorship in the Polish film circuit; as a consequence, some Rossellini’s films were never screened in cinemas in the People’s Republic of Poland.
Cambios semánticos en virus y pandemia desde la lingüística de corpus y la sociolingüística
Authors: Brosa Rodríguez Antoni
Published: August 2022

Koronawirus stał się przyczyną semantycznych zmian w słowach wirus i pandemia. Należy sadzić, że coraz częściej dochodzi do metaforycznego użycia obu słów (jak to miało miejsce w przeszłości z rakiem). Artykuł jest studium poświęconym semantycznym cechom tej zmiany, ich usystematyzowaniu i uszczegółowieniu. Korpus zawierający 480 zdań, zrównoważony socjolingwistycznie, został tak dobrany, aby przeanalizować zmian zarówno pod względem ilościowym jak i jakościowym. Ilościowo został on poddany weryfikacji w celu odpowiedzi na pytanie, czy zmiana jest obecna we wszystkich grupach społecznych i czy któraś grupa jest nią szczególnie nacechowana. Analiza jakościowa wykazała, że metaforyczne użycie terminów wirus, pandemia i rak jest komplementarne: każde z tych słów jest używane w bardzo specyficznych kolokacjach semantycznych.
