A Distributed Approach to Summarizing Spaces of Multiagent Schedules
Authors: Boerkoel Jr. James , Durfee Edmund
Published: June 2022

We introduce the Multiagent Disjunctive Temporal Problem (MaDTP), a new distributed formulation of the widely-adopted Disjunctive Temporal Problem (DTP) representation. An agent that generates a summary of all viable schedules, rather than a single schedule, can be more useful in dynamic environments. We show how a (Ma)DTP with the properties of minimality and decomposability provides a particularly efficacious solution space summary.However, in the multiagent case, these properties sacrifice an agent's strategic interests while incurring significant computational overhead. We introduce a new property called local decomposability that exploits loose-coupling between agents' problems, protects strategic interests, and supports typical queries. We provide and evaluate a new distributed algorithm that summarizes agents' solution spaces in significantly less time and space by using local, rather than full, decomposability.
MAXSAT Heuristics for Cost Optimal Planning
Authors: Zhang Lei , Bacchus Fahiem
Published: June 2022

The cost of an optimal delete relaxed plan, known as h+, is a powerful admissible heuristic but is in general intractable to compute. In this paper we examine the problem of computing h+ by encoding it as a MAXSAT problem. We develop a new encoding that utilizes constraint generation to support the computation of a sequence of increasing lower bounds on h+. We show a close connection between the computations performed by a recent approach for solving MAXSAT and a hitting set approach recently proposed for computing h+. Using this connection we observe that our MAXSAT computation can be initialized with a set of landmarks computed by LM-cut. By judicious use of MAXSAT solving along with a technique of lazy heuristic evaluation we obtain speedups for finding optimal plans over LM-cut on a number of domains. Our approach enables the exploitation of continued progress in MAXSAT solving, and also makes it possible to consider computing or approximating heuristics that are even more informed that h+ by, for example, adding some information about deletes back into the encoding.
Visibility Induction for Discretized Pursuit-Evasion Games
Authors: Abdelrazek Ahmed , El-Alfy Hazem
Published: June 2022

We study a two-player pursuit-evasion game, in which an agent moving amongst obstacles is to be maintained within ``sight" of a pursuing robot. Using a discretization of the environment, our main contribution is to design an efficient algorithm that decides, given initial positions of both pursuer and evader, if the evader can take any moving strategy to go out of sight of the pursuer at any time instant. If that happens, we say that the evader wins the game. We analyze the algorithm, present several optimizations and show results for different environments. For situations where the evader cannot win, we compute, in addition, a pursuit strategy that keeps the evader within sight, for every strategy the evader can take. Finally, if it is determined that the evader wins, we compute its optimal escape trajectory and the corresponding optimal pursuit trajectory.
CCE: A Coupled Framework of Clustering Ensembles
Authors: She Zhong , Wang Can , Cao Longbing
Published: June 2022

Clustering ensemble mainly relies on the pairwise similarity to capture the consensus function. However, it usually considers each base clustering independently, and treats the similarity measure roughly with either 0 or 1. To address these two issues, we propose a coupled framework of clustering ensembles CCE, and exemplify it with the coupled version CCSPA for CSPA. Experiments demonstrate the superiority of CCSPA over baseline approaches in terms of the clustering accuracy.

Semi-Relaxed Plan Heuristics
Authors: Keyder Emil , Hoffmann Joerg , Haslum Patrik
Published: June 2022

The currently dominant approach to domain-independent planning is planning as heuristic search, with most successful planning heuristics being based on solutions to delete-relaxed versions of planning problems, in which the negative effects of actions are ignored. We introduce a principled, flexible, and practical technique for augmenting delete-relaxed tasks with a limited amount of delete information, by introducing special fluents that explicitly represent conjunctions of fluents in the original planning task. Differently from previous work, conditional effects are used to limit the growth of the task to be linear in the number of such conjunctions, making its use for obtaining heuristic functions feasible. The resulting heuristics are empirically evaluated, and shown to be some- times much more informative than standard delete-relaxation heuristics.
SMT-Based Verification of Hybrid Systems
Authors: Cimatti Alessandro , Mover Sergio , Tonetta Stefano
Published: June 2022

Hybrid automata networks (HAN) are a powerful formalism to model complex embedded systems. In this paper, we survey the recent advances in the application of Satisfiability Modulo Theories (SMT) to the analysis of HAN. SMT can be seen as an extended form of Boolean satisfiability (SAT), where literals are interpreted with respect to a background theory (e.g. linear arithmetic). HAN can be symbolically represented by means of SMT formulae, and analyzed by generalizing to the case of SMT the traditional model checking algorithms based on SAT.
Incorporating Computational Sustainability into AI Education through a Freely-Available, Collectively-Composed Supplementary Lab Text
Authors: Fisher Douglas , Dilkina Bistra , Eaton Eric , Gomes Carla
Published: June 2022

We introduce a laboratory text on environmental and societal sustainability applications that can be a supplemental resource for any undergraduate AI course. The lab text, entitled Artificial Intelligence for Computational Sustainability: A Lab Companion, is brand new and incomplete; freely available through Wikibooks; and open to community additions of projects, assignments, and explanatory material on AI for sustainability. The project adds to existing educational efforts of the computational sustainability community, encouraging the flow of knowledge from research to education and public outreach. Besides summarizing the laboratory book, this paper touches on its implications for integration of research and education, for communicating science to the public, and other broader impacts.
Experimental investigation into FRP-confined concrete-filled steel tubular columns under axial compression
Authors: Ma Lu , Zhou Changlin , Zhang Ji
Published: June 2022

The mechanical behavior of 66 carbon-fibre-reinforced polymer (CFRP)-confined concrete-filled steel tubular (CFST) short columns and 42 non-CFRP-confined CFST short columns under axial compression are studied. The typical failure modes and load–displacement curves of the specimen are obtained, and the stress mechanisms of the specimen are analysed. The effects of fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) layers, core concrete strength and cross-section forms on the axial mechanical properties of CFST short columns are discussed. The test results show that there is a positive correlation between the improvement coefficient of bearing capacity and the confinement effect coefficient of FRP. Based on the superposition principle, the bearing capacity calculation formulas of circular and square CFST columns without CFRP confinement are proposed. On this basis, taking the confinement effect of FRP into account, the calculation formula of axial bearing capacity of FRP-confined CFST short columns is proposed. The comparison between the calculated values of the model and the measured values of the experiments shows that the model has good prediction effect.
Possible critical region associated with late‐onset spasms in 17p13.1‐p13.2 microdeletion syndrome: a report of two new cases and review of the literature

Published: June 2022

17p13.1‐2 microdeletion syndrome is a congenital anomaly syndrome with characteristic facial features and multiple malformations. The prevalence of epilepsy with 17p13.1–2 microdeletion is low, with only one case reported for late‐onset spasms. Late‐onset spasms is one of the rare epilepsy syndromes and one of the developmental epileptic encephalopathies requiring urgent treatment. We experienced two cases of 17p13.1‐2 microdeletion syndrome, one of which presented with epileptic spasms in cluster at 18 months of age. EEG showed symmetrical hypsarrhythmia during interictal periods and a paroxysmal fast wave superimposed on widespread slow waves during seizures, leading to the diagnosis of late‐onset spasms. Another case had no epilepsy. Comparing the extent of deletion in the two cases with that of previous reports, the involvement of the USP6 gene was suspected. However, the accumulation of additional case reports is needed to confirm the genetic involvement in late‐onset spasms.
Typical absence status epilepticus in older people: syndromic delineation

Published: June 2022

Objective. We describe the clinical, electroencephalographic and neuroimaging findings of older patients with typical absence status epilepticus (ASE).

Methods. This investigation was a retrospective analysis of prospectively collected consecutive patients between January 2011 and October 2021. All rhythmic, synchronous and symmetric epileptiform discharges and normal background on video‐electroencephalogram (vEEG) were included.

Results. Six patients were identified with a diagnosis of typical ASE. The mean age was 67 years. Five could be classified as idiopathic generalized epilepsy (IGE) though two had been erroneously categorized as cryptogenic focal epilepsy (FE). In one, the episode of ASE was thought to represent the beginning of late‐onset IGE (de novo late‐onset typical ASE). In all cases, ASE was controlled within the first 24 hours.

Significance. Typical ASE is a rare cause of confusion in the elderly population requiring urgent vEEG evaluation. It most frequently represents reactivation of a previous IGE, although it can be the form of presentation in elderly people with epilepsy that begins in childhood or adolescence and that has not been diagnosed or treated. It may be rarely the debut of (de novo) late‐onset IGE.

Multimodal Narrative Practices in Adult ESL: Negotiating Linguicism and Developing Language
Authors: Sharmin Mahmuda
Published: June 2022

Multimodal pedagogies and narrative practices in the language classroom have been found effective in facilitating adult English language learning and the development of learners’ identity (Crandall, 2018). Further, racism and linguicism are aspects of adult learners’ lives that affect learners’ learning trajectories (Corona & Block, 2020).  Few studies, however, examined how multimodal narrative practices in the classroom can allow adult language learners space to negotiate linguicism and become legitimate members of the target community. This study investigated the role of narrative practices in negotiating linguicism and developing language. The study was conducted in a beginning intermediate ESL class in the Mid-south, USA. The class comprised five immigrant women participating in a multimodal narrative-based language teaching approach designed by the instructor. The learners each wrote ten multimodal narratives in a shared Google Docs over the period of 10 weeks about their English-speaking experiences and retold those narratives in the classroom. The findings showed that multimodal narrative practices not only facilitated language development but also helped learners negotiate racism and shape identity.
Clarifying Learner Englishes From Greater China Using Native Language Identification — A Pilot Study
Authors: Li Xiaoyun
Published: June 2022

The purpose of this paper is to identify the characteristics of learner Englishes from the three major regions of Greater China, namely, Mainland China, Hong Kong, and Taiwan. To achieve this aim, a comparative study is conducted into the three learner Englishes via Native Language Identification (NLI). The average identification accuracy yielded in this study is 60 % on spoken monologues and 59.8 % on written essays. With these two satisfactory accuracies, this paper profiles the three learner Englishes by probing into their best-identifying indicators. The results show that learner English from Mainland China are characteristic for high degree of collectivistic involvement and uncertainty, low informativeness, and underuse of conjunctions; learner English from HKG is highly informative and impersonal; the two types of learner English from Taiwan are similar in that they share an individualistically involved style but differ in that the English essays by Taiwan L2 learners are found to be high on uncertainty and negation but low on informativeness and the usage of conjunctions..

Authors: P M Amir , Rahman Fathu , Azis Wildha Nurazfani
Published: June 2022

This research aims to discover the feminism of Afro-Americans in the selected poems of Audre Lorde by understanding the meaning and elaborating it with Lorde’s attitude towards feminism. The research employed a descriptive qualitative method and structuralism is the determined approach to process the data. Therefore, this study is not only concerned with the structure of the poems but also combined with the feminism theory. The result of this research indicated that the objects contained several poetical elements: figurative language, imagery, diction, and tone, that have a main function in enriching the meanings and semantic atmospheres in order to disclose the feminism issues inside the poems. Therefore, the analysis of poetical devices shows how significant the author treats feminism inside her selected poems.
A Socio-Pragmatic Analysis of the Speech Act of Advice in Selected Qur’anic Verses
Authors: AL-Khatib Anwar Rateb , AL-Khanji Rajai Rashead
Published: June 2022

This study investigates selected Qur’anic verses in terms of advice speech act. It answers the questions: what is the most common strategy used to perform the speech act of advice in the Holy Qur’an?, what is the most common type of sentence used to perform advice in the Holy Qur’an? and what is the impact of the social variables of distance and power on the choice of advice strategy? The study adopts Hinkel’s (1994) classification of advice into direct, indirect, and hedged as its main theoretical framework. However, the study revealed that the interlocutors in the Holy Qur’an opted for significantly more indirect advice, and that the imperative was the most frequent sentence type used to perform the speech act of advice. Also, the study showed that the choice of advice strategy was greatly impacted by social distance and power between the speaker and the hearer. However, context was also a determining factor in many cases.
An Analysis of the Recently Issued Language Policy in IOK: Process, Causes and Influences
Authors: Deng Shiping
Published: June 2022

The language policy in IOK (Indian occupied Kashmir, i.e. Jammu and Kashmir) has been changed recently and a new “five official languages” policy has been established. This paper untangles the three steps of the language policy change: modifying the Constitution, enacting The Jammu and Kashmir Reorganisation Act, 2019 and passing The Jammu and Kashmir Official Languages Act, 2020 and reveals the root causes of the change by collecting data from the media and historical documents. Results show that the language policy change in this area has been affected by many factors such as Hindu Chauvinism, the nation-state ideology, local identity, and issues of minorities’ language right. This paper then makes a further analysis of the possible influences of the new policy: exacerbating religious disputes, aggravating separatism, and undermining social justice and complicating the regional situation. The implication can be made from the language policy change in IOK is that language policy should be made based on the language-as-resource orientation and a comprehensive analysis of the specific historical and social conditions of a country or an area so that it can promote social harmony.
Interconnection of Nature and Yoruba Traditions in Okri’s Trilogies
Authors: David Janice Sandra , Bhuvaneswari V.
Published: June 2022

Africa's history and ecology were shaped by colonization. The European invasion of eastern nations had a significant influence on the environment. The technical advancements due to colonization have been both beneficial and detrimental to the colonized countries. The harmful consequences have prompted several researchers and African writers to conduct a critical examination of the interaction between humans and their environment in terms of race, culture, economy, power, and belonging. Ben Okri is an internationally acclaimed poet, writer, artist, and public speaker. In his trilogies The Famished Road, Songs of Enchantment, and Infinite Riches Okri has depicted the repercussions of colonization and the process of decolonization on the individual and the environment in order to understand the African reality. This paper highlights the interconnection of nature and culture which is considered as one of the main tenets of African culture and tradition. Okri employs magical realism as a literary method to emphasize the interplay between the human and natural worlds. Okri has included vivid imagery of verdant forest that has been deforested and wounded. According to the Yoruba mythology, the forest is frequently associated with magic and the supernatural world, in keeping with West African customs. Therefore, the exploitation of the natural world has led to the abandonment of traditional values which is well depicted. Further, the paper attempts to examine the effect of colonialism in eroding the spirit world and the physical world in terms of social structure and the degrading culture and its relationship with the environment.
La escritora monstruosa: Anaïs Nin y la identidad creativa de la mujer=The monstrous writer: Anaïs Nin on female creative identity
Authors: Rodríguez Pintado Irene
Published: June 2022

El objetivo principal de este artículo es determinar las conexiones que Anaïs Nin hace entre la intelectualidad, la creatividad y la monstruosidad en la mujer en el volumen de su diario Henry and June (2001). A través de las figuras de June Miller y Anaïs Nin, se puede ver la conexión cultural que existe en el siglo XX entre la creación y la masculinidad, la cual enrarece la creación femenina hasta considerarla monstruosa. Para alcanzar este objetivo, Henry and June (2001) será analizado junto con trabajos teóricos sobre la contraposición cultural entre la identidad femenina y la creación literaria (Gilbert y Gubar 1979; Gilbert y Gubar 1988; y Showalter 1985), así como sobre la monstruosidad femenina (Creed 1986; Kristeva 1982). Para concluir, el artículo ilustrará cómo la creatividad literaria ha estado culturalmente asociada con la masculinidad, condenando a la escritora a una identidad ambigua y, por tanto, monstruosa. This paper aims at showing the connections Anaïs Nin establishes between intellectuality, creativity, and monstrosity in women throughout the Henry and June volume of her diary (2001). Through June Miller and Anaïs Nin, a cultural connection between creativity and masculinity which estranges female creation to the point of considering it to be monstrous, can be seen in the 20th century. To achieve this objective, Henry and June (2001) will be analysed along with other theoretical works on the cultural opposition between female identity and literary creation (Gilbert and Gubar 1979; Gilbert and Gubar 1988; and Showalter 1985) as well as works on feminine monstrosity (Creed 1986; Kristeva 1982). Finally, this paper will illustrate how literary creativity has been culturally associated to the concept of masculinity and, therefore, has condemned the female writer to an ambiguous and, consequently, monstrous identity.

LA COMEDIA DE MAGIA COMO ESPECTÁCULO AUDIOVISUAL: EL CASO DE DON JUAN DE ESPINA, DE JOSÉ DE CAÑIZARES
Authors: Cantero García Víctor
Published: June 2022

Una de las características esenciales del subgénero dramático denominado «comedia de magia» es su capacidad de «hipnotizar» al público a través de un espectáculo audiovisual, que surge de los trucos de magia y de la extrema complejidad de su tramoya. Un maestro en estas lides fue el dramaturgo José de Cañizares (1676-1750), quien  en su serie dedicada a don Juan de Espina deleita al espectador que acude a los corrales de comedia con un amplio repertorio de prodigios y efectos maravillosos fruto de la magia.En la presente colaboración se pretende demostrar el grado de acierto con el que Cañizares apuntaló un modelo de «comedia de magia» que podríamos tildar de comedia sensorial, claro precedente de la técnica cinematográfica y en perfecta simbiosis con el arte circense, el cual perduró en los escenarios durante gran parte del siglo XVIII.

MUJER Y MUERTE EN LA NOVELA DE MIGUEL DELIBES
Authors: Salinas Moraga Iñigo
Published: June 2022

Cuatro son las constantes temáticas comúnmente aceptadas en la obra de Miguel Delibes (1920-2010): infancia, naturaleza, prójimo y muerte. Las tres primeras son recursos habituales que le sirven al autor para encaminar una historia, pero es la idea obsesiva por la muerte la que cataliza la trama de la práctica totalidad de sus novelas. Y es precisamente esta recurrencia la que se analiza en este artículo, con la particularidad de que el estudio se centra en exclusiva en los decesos de personajes femeninos. Para ello se parte de un exhaustivo análisis del discurso para determinar el número de mujeres que pierden la vida así como todas aquellas circunstancias circundantes, tales como el protagonismo del finado, su edad o, en fin, la causa de la muerte. El análisis cualitativo posterior saca a la luz los pormenores, paralelismos y la relevancia de la muerte femenina en la novela de Delibes: ¿Se trata de muertes prescindibles o, por el contrario, la muerte de las mujeres es determinante para comprender su obra?

Demographic dividend in Latin America: Economic effects of changes in population age structure
Authors: Pinto Aguirre Guido
Published: June 2022

Demographic dividend is the potential economic growth caused by the change of population age distribution. With the continuous decline of fertility rate for decades, the age distribution of the population has changed from young age structure to young people of working age. This provides a window of opportunity for further economic growth and poverty reduction. In other words, as the relative size of the labor force increases, the country’s production is expanding because there are more workers and producers. However, this window of opportunity is not automatic and may last for a short time. Therefore, economic, social and government policies are needed to create an enabling environment for the absorption of large numbers of labor in the most productive sectors. Strategic investments in human capital (education and health) are needed to adequately respond to growing economic opportunities. Many Latin American countries have begun to realize the demographic dividend. Over the past decade, the region’s economy has continued to grow, creating favorable conditions for absorbing more and more young adult labor.
Prevalence of malnutrition of age group in different communities in Costa Rica, 1997–2014
Authors: Chinnock Anne , Flores Giselle Zúñiga
Published: June 2022

Objective: To analyze the prevalence of nutritional problems of family members divided by age group in different communities in Costa Rica from 1997 to 2014. Methods: The paper analyzed the data collected by students from the school of nutrition of the University of Costa Rica from 1997 to 2014. Weight and height data of all members were collected from selected families in each community. The analysis of data adopts the growth criteria and critical points recommended by the World Health Organization. Results: The data of 25 surveys conducted in the past 17 years were reported. With the increasing age, the problems of deficiency in weight and height decreased among young people (<20 years old), and the proportion of individuals who are overweight or at risk of overweight increased. In adults, the same phenomenon occurs in weight gain. Among the elderly, the proportion of underweight people decreased. Discussion: Compare the information submitted by other publications reporting similar results and comment on the causes and consequences of overweight. Conclusion: During this period, the prevalence of weight and height defects in minors decreased; in addition, the prevalence of overweight is increasing in all age groups.
Study on temporal and spatial differences and driving factors of population aging in the Yellow River Basin
Authors: Qi Guangzhi , Wang Zhibao , Zhao Nana
Published: June 2022

In order to explore the driving mechanism of population aging and solve the dilemma of getting old before getting rich, this paper uses ESDA to analyze the evolution characteristics and driving factors of population aging temporal and spatial pattern in the Yellow River Basin from 2000 to 2020, so as to promote the high-quality development of the Yellow River Basin. The results show that: (1) the aging of the population in the Yellow River Basin is gradually deepening, showing a ladder rising pattern from west to east; (2) the population aging in the Yellow River Basin shows a positive spatial correlation, forming a spatial pattern dominated by high-high and low-lowaggregation. Among them, high-high aggregation is mainly distributed in Shandong and low-low aggregation is mainly distributed in Qinghai; (3) population factor is the direct reason for the evolution of the pattern of population aging in the Yellow River Basin, and socio-economic factors are the fundamental reason. Therefore, from these two dimensions, this paper puts forward some suggestions on actively coping with population aging in the Yellow River Basin, such as: adhering to the comprehensive two-child policy, promoting the implementation of the three-child policy, and appropriately increasing the fertility rate; relying on the urban agglomeration in the Yellow River basin to attract the return of labor force; establishing a cross regional pension coordination mechanism to realize joint pension; vigorously developing education for the elderly and fully developing human resources for the elderly.
Closing Gender Gaps in the Southern Cone: An Untapped Potential for Growth (Executive Summary)
Authors: Frisancho Verónica , Queijo Von Heideken Virginia
Published: June 2022

In this volume, we study gender gaps in the Southern Cone countries which include Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Paraguay, and Uruguay. We assess the importance of gender inequalities and present evidence on their economic consequences, their drivers, and the policy tools that can contribute to mitigating them. Gender gaps in access to public services, human capital accumulation, and the labor market limit overall productivity and economic growth, and policies that mitigate these inequalities have the potential to foster economic development and wellbeing. In our current context, a global pandemic has highlighted and even widened gender gaps, meaning policymakers are in urgent need of a new set of policies that can foster gender parity in the recovery phase. This volume is thus a timely compendium of solid evidence to design policies that can effectively tackle gender disparities in Southern Cone countries.

Relaciones Internacionales ‘americanas’ y la academia en el ‘Sur Global’
Authors: Vallejo María Fe
Published: June 2022

En 1977, Stanley Hoffman afirmó que las Relaciones Internacionales se consolidaron como una disciplina americana, no solo por el ascenso de Estados Unidos como potencia, sino por los fundamentos epistemológicos y ontológicos sobre los que se asentaba la misma. Sin embargo, la herencia de la academia americana supone una serie de implicaciones para el estudio de las relaciones internacionales en el Sur Global, donde cabe cuestionarnos si replicarla nos permite comprender las complejidades del colonialismo, imperialismo, racismo, cultura y género que han permeado la disciplina. Por lo tanto, este artículo busca entender cuáles son las implicaciones de reproducir la lógica académica de las RRII americanas en la academia en el Sur Global; afirmando que la homogeneización de la disciplina reproduce una lógica etnocéntrica que ha relegado ciertas voces a los márgenes de la disciplina.
Théodore de Banville et Le Nouveau Décaméron
Authors: Edwards Peter J.
Published: June 2022

Entre 1875 et 1890, Banville publia neuf volumes de contes, dont deux nouvelles éditions de ses nouvelles et contes recueillis avant 1871. Cet article se concentre sur le cadre conceptuel qui informait sa pratique du conte, en particulier ses idées sur la modernité, sa préférence avouée de courtiser un public féminin et le rôle qu’il joua dans Le Nouveau Décaméron comme doyen de la génération littéraire née entre 1820 et 1830. Mendès offrit une place d’honneur à Banville en le nommant roi des conteurs de la première journée. Il figure parmi les collaborateurs les plus fidèles en donnant dix contes. Nous analysons « Tiï », un conte peu commun et exotique, écrit spécialement pour la huitième journée sur « Les Amours lointaines ». L’étude des contes de Banville permet de démontrer que le conteur restait sensible aux questions de la vie sociale, en particulier de l’autonomie féminine.
L’Enfance dans Le Nouveau Décaméron
Authors: Finet Béatrice
Published: June 2022

Nous nous intéressons aux portraits d’enfants proposés dans Le Nouveau Décaméron, recueil de nouvelles galantes, et aux différentes images de l’enfance qu’ils véhiculent. Nous avons sélectionné dix-sept des cent nouvelles signées Paul Arène, Théodore de Banville, François Coppée, Abraham Dreyfus, Anatole France, Ludovic Halévy, René Maizeroy, Guy de Maupassant, Émile Pouvillon, Aurélien Scholl et Émile Zola. Ces auteurs réalistes, naturalistes et décadents présentent tantôt des enfants qui s’inscrivent dans l’image romantique de l’enfance, empreinte d’innocence et de pureté, tantôt qui s’opposent aux clichés de l’enfance. Nous verrons ainsi l’enfant face à la mort, la sienne ou celle de ses proches. Puis nous nous intéresserons à l’enfance et à la sexualité, sujet qui parcourt les dix volumes. Quel que soit le portrait proposé, les auteurs incitent le lecteur à une réflexion morale sur les rapports entre enfants et adultes.
René Maizeroy : tristes devis
Authors: De Palacio Jean
Published: June 2022

Cet article étudie la faible présence de René Maizeroy dans l’entreprise collective de Catulle Mendès. Dans les quatre nouvelles qu’il propose dans le Nouveau Décaméron – « Nini Rosalin », « La Tentation de Saint Antoine », « Les Montefiore » et « Don Juan » –, ce n’est pas à l’écrivain provocateur que l’on a affaire, mais à un René Maizeroy animé d’une inspiration tragique. Trois des quatre personnages présentés, le grand seigneur don juanesque, le saltimbanque et la jeune fille élevée au couvent, meurent au dénouement ; et le quatrième, l’aristocratique hongrois comte Zzavody, épuisé, ne va guère mieux. Les figures féminines y sont assez maltraitées, souvent présentées comme des femmes sans cœur. En se souvenant de Laclos et des Liaisons dangereuses, Maizeroy semble s’être fait historien des mœurs et avoir voulu se racheter de sa mauvaise réputation. Finalement, Le Nouveau Décaméron ne rend pas vraiment justice à Maizeroy.
Daudet, l’art du conte et Le Nouveau Décaméron
Authors: Dufief Anne-Simone
Published: June 2022

Cet article se propose d’étudier la présence d’Alphonse Daudet dans Le Nouveau Décaméron. En 1884, le choix de Daudet, un écrivain médiatique situé au carrefour des écoles littéraires, s’impose à Catulle Mendès. En effet, bien que devenu romancier, l’auteur des Lettres de mon moulin est un conteur et un causeur charmeur, ce qui s’accorde en tout point à l’esprit du Nouveau Décaméron. Daudet devient roi de la deuxième journée, avec Sapho comme reine. Son art du conte, sa maîtrise des formes brèves, son style, entrent en résonance avec ses talents de causeur. Mais il est surtout, et les deux textes retenus – « Un veuvage de tourterelle » et « La Bohème en famille » – le démontrent, un poète de l’amour. Si brèves qu’elles soient, les nouvelles illustrent avec profondeur et humour le conflit entre Eros et Thanatos, entre la vie de bohème et la vie bourgeoise.
En être, pourquoi et comment ? Villiers de l’Isle-Adam et Le Nouveau Décaméron
Authors: Vibert Bertrand
Published: June 2022

Il s’agit d’évaluer la place et le rôle de l’auteur des Contes cruels dans Le Nouveau Décaméron, au-delà des trois textes retenus (« Le Secret de l’échafaud », « L’Agence du chandelier d’or », « Akëdysséril »). On tente d’abord de comprendre les relations complexes de Villiers avec l’univers de la presse, avec Catulle Mendès en particulier, puis de distinguer le conte proprement dit de la nouvelle et de la chronique – dans lesquels Villiers s’est illustré en bousculant les codes, et en jouant de la variété des tons et des registres. Ainsi, Villiers manie aussi bien l’ironie glaçante que le comique bouffon, ou encore le rêve d’absolu. Le contexte des contes et leur réception dans le recueil lui-même, le portrait qui y est brossé de Villiers, et enfin les effets de résonance, tout cela plaide non seulement en faveur de la qualité des trois textes que Villiers réunira dans L’Amour suprême, mais de l’idée que Villiers a bien servi Le Nouveau Décaméron.
Les Trois conteuses du Nouveau Décaméron
Authors: Sanchez Nelly
Published: June 2022

Notre article se veut modestement une étude comparée des contes signés par les trois seules femmes de lettres qui contribuèrent au Nouveau Décaméron : Jeanne Thilda, Georges de Peyrebrune et Judith Gautier. Nous ne manquerons pas de retracer brièvement la carrière et le parcours de chacune de ces auteures qui se connaissaient. Si la structure de ces récits brefs est étudiée pour révéler comment ces littératrices se sont emparées des contraintes narratives liées au genre, notamment le cadre spatio-temporel, notre réflexion s’attache surtout à montrer comment sont représentés les hommes et les femmes face à l’amour. Force est de constater que sous leur apparente modernité, ces contes s’inscrivent dans la lignée des contes traditionnels puisque ce sont les rôles traditionnels des sexes qui sont observés. Soumise à la morale, prête à tous les sacrifices, la femme nie son désir et, si elle se prétend amoureuse, c’est pour une raison purement physiologique.
Pomiędzy grozą śmierci a nadzieją na życie wieczne, czyli o symbolice kilku ornatów żałobnych z końca XVIII oraz z XIX wieku
Authors: Moisan-Jablonski Christine
Published: June 2022

Niewiele ornatów pogrzebowych w kolorze czarnym zachowało się do naszych czasów. Usunięte z liturgii po reformie Soboru Watykańskiego II, należą one dziś do rzadkości, stanowiąc tym cenniejsze świadectwo staropolskiej kultury funeralnej. Do efektownych przykładów barokowego theatrum, w którym szczególną rolę odgrywały wyłaniające się z czarnego tła motywy haftowane kolorowymi nićmi, należą cztery polskie ornaty z końca XVIII i XIX wieku. Dwa znajdują się w zbiorach Muzeum Diecezjalnego w Siedlcach. Pozostałe są przechowywane w Lwowskim Muzeum Historii Religii oraz w parafii w Górce Kościelnickiej pod Krakowem. Mają one bogatą ikonografię. Obok motywów związanych z pasją Chrystusa (krzyż oraz narzędzia męki – arma passionis) ukazano na nich symbole śmierci i przemijania (czaszki, szkielety, trumny, klepsydry, zegary). Widnieją na nich także dusze w czyśćcu, przypominając, że owoców mszy św., pamiątki krwawej ofiary Chrystusa, doświadczają zmarli. Wymowę ornatów uzupełniają łacińskie sentencje, zawierające fragmenty pieśni Dies irae. Symbolika ornatów żałobnych nie była podporządkowana jedynie głoszeniu ziemskiego tryumfu śmierci, lecz wyrażała nadzieję zbawienia i życia wiecznego.
The Art of Miss Irma Stern: Ugliness as a Cult
Authors: Pawłowska Aneta
Published: June 2022

The purpose of this article is to present the life and work of a well-known and celebrated South African painter of German-Jewish origin – Irma Stern (1894-1966). The artist was one of the first painters from South Africa whose works fitted well into the expressionist trend. Irma Stern’s artistic development was influenced by numerous trips to Europe and her studies at German art schools and academies. Her African roots were another important source of inspiration for her. Stern, who travelled all over Africa (including South Africa, Zanzibar and Congo) created numerous portraits of its indigenous peoples surrounded by wild nature. In her works, she most often presented an idyllic vision of the African continent, but one whirling with life and dynamism, thus reflecting her personal views of Africa as a real ‘paradise.’

Изучение «образа я» юношей и девушек поколения Z
Authors: Искандарова Н.С. , Алимбаева Р.Т.
Published: June 2022

В данной статье ставится вопрос актуальности исследования «образа Я» представителей поколения Z на фоне активной цифровизации образа жизни общества. Проводится исследование с целью изучить взаимосвязь возраста начала использования социальных сетей и самоотношения поколения Z, а также для сравнения в какой степени выражено ожидание положительного отношения. Исследование проводилось с использованием методики «Опросник самоотношения» В. В. Столина и С. Р. Пантелеева на выборке из 26 испытуемых. В результате взаимосвязь возраста начала использования социальных сетей не была выявлена, но была доказана гипотеза о низком ожидании положительного отношения. Также были получены данные о разной оценке самоотношения у юношей и девушек.

Идейно-эстетические искания в творчестве Ахияра Хакимова
Authors: Гареева Г.Н.
Published: June 2022

Повести Народного писателя Башкортостана А.Хакимова «Перелетные птица» (1974), «Байга» (1977), «Сполохи» (1978), «Мост» (1979), «Свадьба» (1981) показывают войну как высшую точку нравственного отсчета человеческой жизни. Этим произведениям характерны стремительное, динамичное развитие сюжета, они пронизаны острым драматизмом. Конфликтные ситуации в повестях затрагивают нравственно-этические устои личности. Герои А.Хакимова - солдаты, судьбы которых неразрывно связаны с судьбой Родины. В емких по форме и эпических по содержанию романах «Саурова шкатулка» (1982), «Звук домбры» (1986), посвященных важному историческому этапу жизни башкирского народа, воссоздается борьба народов в XIII-XV веках за свою независимость.
