Published: July 2022

The village is an area that has a lot of potential resources, especially economic, natural or environmental, and socio-cultural aspects, which can be used as essential capital in development and the welfare of the community. Therefore, it is necessary to carry out research and community empowerment as socio-economic education of tourism village communities to open up job vacancies, especially for the younger generation and village independence. The study used Research and Development (R & D) methods and analysis by prioritizing qualitative data through interviews, observations, and focus group discussions on purposively selected informants, including village government, tourism village groups, youth groups, and business groups. The research location is in a new tourism village with uniqueness and local wisdom, namely Mergolangu Tourism Village, Kalibawang District, Wonosobo Regency, Banjarpanepen Village, Sumpiuh District, Banyumas Regency in Central Java Province of Indonesia. The results showed that tourist villages still have problems in institutional management, productive, creative, and innovative business development, and marketing promotion. So, it requires community empowerment as socio-economic education through various extension activities, training, mentoring, and partnerships on tourism management supported by stakeholders. Socio-economic education has implemented of empowerment program that could be a target to the younger generation as the successor to the village tourism management group.

Authors:   Kyiv NationalEconomic University named after Vadym Hetman, Savchenko Olena , Kaliuk Oleksandra ,   Kyiv NationalEconomic University named after Vadym Hetman
Published: July 2022

Introduction. Subjective well-being is one of the indicators of personal effectiveness and conditions of socio-psychological adaptation of the individual to uncertain situations, unstable social relations. There is a need to develop both new conceptual models of this phenomenon and means for psychological diagnosis. Subjective well-being is a complex experience based on a positive perception of the activity results and assessment of their current state as successful, which is reflected in integrative assessments and experiences of "happiness", "life satisfaction", "high quality of life". The author's model of subjective well-being identifies 3 components: 1) emotional, which performs a regulatory function; 2) cognitive, which implements the evaluation function; 3) behavioral, which performs an adaptive function. Aim. The purpose of the study is to develop a methodology for diagnosis of the subjective well-being cognitive component. Methods. The internal structure of the method "KOSB-3" was checked using Factor analysis (the method of principal components with the rotation of the matrix Varimax normalized ("STATISTICA 10.0")). The discrimination level of statements was determined by the Ferguson test, and the level of internal consistency of statements that form a single scale was tested by the Cronbach's alpha test (SPSS Statistics 19.0). Ryff Scales of Psychological Well-being and «Life satisfaction» (N. Melnikova) are the questionnaires that used to check convergent validity:. Results. The performed procedures have confirmed the high validity and reliability of the developed diagnostic methodology. The final version of the methodology includes 3 scales and an indicator of the overall level of satisfaction with life. There are "General satisfaction with personal life", "Dissatisfaction with oneself and frustration in life", and "Satisfaction with other people relationships". The scales of the methodology were standardized on a student sample (N=256). Test norms were formed in Stanine score, which allow determining the level of an individual result. Conclusions. The developed methodology "KOSB-3" is suitable for measuring the cognitive aspects of subjective well-being. The technique can be used as a psychodiagnostic tool for the study of adolescents (16-25 years old).

Artistic conflict and the characters of the fairy-tale play "The starstone" by Nelly Lukozheva
Authors:   Kabardino-Balkarian State University named after H. M. Berbekov, Albek Abazov
Published: July 2022

The article explores the contribution of Nelly Lukozheva to the development of the genre in the Adyghe children’s dramatic tale. Until now, in Adyghe literary criticism, there is no research work on modern children’s literature, and many genres of Adyghe children’s literature and drama are still poorly studied. The appeal of the playwright-librettist Nelly Lukozheva to folklore mo-tives in globalization problems should be considered as a certain trend that has recently been not-ed in domestic multinational literature. Currently, the genre of literary fairy tale in the Kabardino-Circassian language occupies an important place in modern Adyghe literature. The world of the author’s artistic fairy tales reflects the life philosophy of the author and the moral and ethical norms and laws of society and the state, transmitted through symbols, signs, metaphors and vari-ous sentiments. The play-fairy tale “Starstone” by Nelly Lukozheva provides a relevant subject of research, because the author turns his close attention to the cultural, ethnic, lexical and social functions of fairy tales. Therefore, the emergence of recent works of drama makes it possible to touch the spiritual culture of the Adyghe people. Dramatic works as fairy tale plays are of special scientific interest both in theoretical terms and in studying the forms and features of the existence of folklore. The proposed article also draws attention to the presence in the fairy tale play of Nelly Lukozheva of ethnic information at the level of themes, ideas, style and some specific aspects, reveals artistic conflict and gives images of the heroes characteristics in her fairy tale play “Star-stone.”

The travelogue of Robert Porter as a primary source on studying the Caucasus image visualisation by the Europeans in the first decades of XIX c.
Authors:   North Caucasus Federal University, Dmitrii Tkachenko
Published: July 2022

The paper focuses on the analysis of the travel notes by the famous British artist and traveller Robert Ker Porter, who visited the North Caucasus on the trip to the Middle East in 1817-1820. The travelogue full text has not been translated into Russian yet and is being introduced to Rus-sian scientific public for the first time. Its author became one of the first English travellers who discovered the exotic land and its inhabitants in the English-speaking public, whose vivid images are still in use in the English-speaking sector of Caucasian studies. The article points out the Ori-entalist nature of the Caucasus people's descriptions: the Cossacks, Kalmyks, Kabardians, Che-chens and Ossetians, with whom the author of the travel notes had contacted, but mainly conveyed a set of well-established Eurocentric stereotypes, filling them with vivid regional details. The travelogue also reflects the nature of the traveller’s relations with the Imperial authorities in the region, contains sketches of the daily life of the settlements and frontier dwellers. The author con-cludes the “dualistic” vision of the Caucasus by the traveller: the admiration for nature and moun-tains fancifully mixed with the fear of being captured by the inhabitants of the foothills.
A case study for the institutional management of the Caucasus studies in Russian Empire
Authors:   North Caucasus Federal University, Tatiana Kolosovskaya
Published: July 2022

This article discusses the history of the scientific institutions functioning established in the second half of the XIX century in Caucasus to study it. Particular attention is paid to the role of the mili-tary department in the construction of the institutional space in Caucasian studies, which is little studied in historiography. Attention is drawn to the participation of the military in the work of the Caucasian Department of the Imperial Russian Geographical Society (IRGO), as well as to the main directions and results of the Military History Department activities at the headquarters of the Caucasian Military District. Based on the works of pre-revolutionary authors, as well as docu-ments from the Russian State Military Historical Archive, it is concluded that the military admin-istration of the Caucasus took an active part in organizing the scientific study of the region. Rep-resentatives of the local headquarters occupied leading positions in the Caucasian department of the IRGS. Some military men became active participants in the geographical, ethnographic and linguistic study of the Caucasus, including I.I. Khodzko, I.I. Stebnitsky, P.K. Uslar, A.V. Komarov. Created at the headquarters of the Caucasian Military District, the Military History Department gained the status of an important scientific and educational center on the Caucasian outskirts of the empire. His research practices formed an empirical basis for further scientific study of the military past of the Caucasus.
Transcaucasian region in tsarist travels: from Alexander II to Nicholas II

Published: July 2022

The travels of emperors on the national outskirts of the Russian Empire as a representation of power and mastering the symbolic space of multinational state were the means to manage cultur-ally complex communities of the Romanov dynasty servants. The article considers the circum-stances of the visits of Alexander II in 1871, Alexander III in 1888, and Nicholas II in 1914 to the South Caucasus. It describes the general characteristics of the routes and scenarios of the highest visits, shows the stability of the principal forms of communication with the local population. The importance of the continuity of the czarevitch’s’ Caucasian journeys in their future practices of ruling the region is emphasized. The commemorative aspects of the czarist visits that actualize in the public consciousness the key events of the Russian history of the Caucasus are investigated. It is noted while observing organizational and ceremonial canon, each visit solved concrete and his-torical problems determined by the completion of the accession Caucasus to Russia, the develop-ment of transport infrastructure and deeper integration of the region into the socio-cultural space of the empire, symbolic mobilization of demographic and material resources of the southern out-skirts during the World War I. The reasoned conclusion shows that the visits of the emperors pro-moted the legitimization in the eyes of the subjects of both the supreme crown authority and its representatives in the face of the authorities of the Caucasian region. “The Highest Visits” deep-ened the integration of the region into the larger imperial space and, at the same time, contributed to the reintegration of the peoples of the South Caucasus within the Russian state order.
Reorientasi asas keadilan dalam penyelenggaraan pemerintahan yang terdapat pada norma hukum mengenai kewenangan perijinan di bidang investasi

Karena secara normatif, kewenangan dimaksud semestinya berada pada Pemerintah Daerah.Oleh karena itu, perlu dilakukan sinkronisasi norma hukum mengenai hal tersebut antara sistem pengaturan norma hukum pemerintahan daerah, penanaman modal, dan investasi di bidang teknis sektoral satu sama lain (bersifat horisontal), dan dengan Undang-Undang Dasar 1945 (bersifat vertikal), dengan “batu uji” nilai-nilai Pancasila dan asas keadilan dalam penyelenggaraan pemerintahan.
Functional consequences of clock components interacting with decoy sites in a genetic oscillator
Authors: Zhang Zhanhao , Dey Supravat , Singh Abhyudai
Published: July 2022

Within cells, transcription factors (TFs) bind to a wide range of nonspecific genomic sites in addition to their target sites. Binding to such high affinity “decoys” has been shown to qualitatively alter the dynamics of gene regulatory circuits. Analyzing simple gene expression models with decoy binding we derive formulas for the TF response time as a function of the number of decoys, binding affinity, and stability of the decoy-bound TF. Our results show that while on one hand, decoys make the response sluggish whenever decoy binding stabilizes the TF, on the other hand, decoys can accelerate responses by destabilizing the bound TF. We apply these results in the context of a genetic oscillator based on an activator-repressor motif, where sustained oscillations result from a rapid activator-mediated positive feedback working in conjunction with a slow repressor-mediated negative feedback. Consistent with our response time analysis, we find that activator binding to decoy sites can destroy oscillations in the case of a stable decoy-activator complex that functions to slow down the positive feedback. In contrast, an unstable decoy-activator complex can expand the oscillatory parameter regime. In conclusion, our response time analysis provides intuitive insights into the emergence of sustained oscillations.

Does Inequality Foster Xenophobia? Evidence from the German Refugee Crisis
Authors: Riaz Sascha
Published: July 2022

Why does immigration trigger xenophobic backlash in some regions but not in others? This study focuses on economic inequality as a moderator of backlash against immigration. Drawing on prior cross-national work, I argue that inequality fosters a sense of relative deprivation among natives, increases incentives for national identification, and thereby amplifies xenophobic backlash against immigration. I test this argument in Germany, which experienced an unprecedented influx of refugees starting in 2015. My empirical analysis combines complete tax registry data for about 40 million households with geocoded information on xenophobic hate crimes. Using a difference in differences approach, I find that the increase in hate crimes following the refugee inflow was significantly stronger in high-inequality localities. Drawing on geocoded survey data, I provide additional evidence that local economic inequality increases nationalism among natives. My findings shed new light on the connection between rising levels of economic inequality and xenophobia across Western democracies.

Pathogens shape human collective conceptual processing
Authors: Fu Ze , Chen Huimin , Liu Zhan , Sun Maosong , Liu Zhan , Bi Yanchao
Published: July 2022

Infectious disease has been a major cause of death throughout human history. The human cultural evolution framework assumes that these stress variables have broadly shaped human psychology. However, how it affects basic cognitive components is largely unknown. Using historical data from the past century in the US, UK, Italy, and China, the research found that pathogen severity variation was associated with significant changes in the collective semantic space, as reflected in language, in similar ways across the countries. In all four countries, increasing pathogen severity led to increased use of words about sensory-motor properties, tight social relations and traditional values, robust against alternative stress variables, such as war, natural disaster or general economic growth. These results highlight the universal dynamic mechanisms of semantics and the effect of pathogens in driving sensorial, tight/traditional-value oriented semantic processing.
Re-Appraising Stressors from a Distance: Effects of Linguistic Distancing on Cognitive Appraisals and Emotional Responses to Interpersonal Conflict
Authors: Nasarudin Amani , Moeck Ella , Koval Peter
Published: July 2022

Adopting a detached perspective—known as distancing—while reflecting on stressors can facilitate emotional recovery. Researchers have theorized that distancing works by enabling reappraisals of negative events, yet few studies have investigated specifically how distancing impacts stressor appraisals. In this experiment, we investigated how participants’ (N=355) emotional experience and appraisals of an interpersonal conflict differed depending on whether they reflected on the event from a linguistically immersed (first-person) or distanced (second/third-person) perspective. Partly replicating previous findings, distanced reflection predicted increases in positive affect, but not reductions in negative affect, relative to immersed reflection. Linguistic distancing also predicted increases in motivational congruence appraisals (i.e., perceived advantageousness of the event), but did not influence other appraisal dimensions. We discuss how linguistic distancing may facilitate emotional recovery by illuminating the benefits of stressful experiences, enabling people to “see the good in the bad.”

Authors: Patra Sangita , Das Suchibrata , Dalai Sujata , Mistri Pallab Kumar
Published: July 2022

Introduction: Hypertensive disorders complicates 5-10% of pregnancies all over the world and its incidence in India was found to be 10.08% as per data of National Eclampsia Registry (NEP).

Objectives: The objectives of this study were to determine the incidence of abnormal liver, renal and cerebral function test among patients with preeclampsia and eclampsia and their correlation to maternal and fetal outcome.

Methodology: The study was a prospective cohort study comparing the maternal and fetal outcomes of preeclampsia and eclampsia patients with abnormal parameters (cases; n=50) and pre-eclampsia and eclampsia patients with normal parameters (controls; n=50).  Both case and control were examined clinically apart from biophysical and biochemical investigation.

Results:  Deranged LFT was present in approximately 56% -70% of cases. Serum albumin was decreased in 80% of cases. Prothrombin time (PT) was raised in 48% of cases. Abnormal GFR, urea, creatinine and uric acid level were present in 44%, 10%, 10% and 64% of cases. Among all the pregnancy outcomes in preeclampsia and eclampsia cases with abnormal LFT, preterm labour, PPH, IUFD, meconium stained liquor and neonatal death had significant “p” value <.05. There were 16% preterm labours, 60% IUGR, 36% ARF, 18% Neonatal death, in cases with abnormal RFT. It was found from the study that CVA, Cerebral hemorrhage, fetal distress, and still birth were present in 16%, 24%, 36% and 8% of cases with abnormal cerebral function.

Conclusion: Deranged liver function test was associated with increased incidence of postpartum hemorrhage (P value=0.0001) and postpartum eclampsia (P value <0.0001).

Published: July 2022

Introduction: The prediction of mesiodistal widths of unerupted canines and premolars are an important aspect of analysis of the developing permanent dentition. Various radiographic as well as non radiographic methods have been tested and researched to predict the width of these teeth. The Moyers mixed dentition analysis is a universally accepted technique. Whereas Aboul-Azm and Fouda’s approach of mixed dentition analysis is a concept that derives the measurement from equation based on the buccolingual width of the permanent first molars. It does not require any table for the prediction.
Objective: The present study compares the Aboul-Azm and Fouda’s approach of mixed dentition analysis with Moyers technique.
Methodology: Estimations of the widths of the unerupted permanent canines, first and second premolars were performed for maxillary and mandibular arches using Aboul-Azm and Fouda’s and Moyers prediction methods. The predicted values were then compared with the measurements of the actual teeth on 224 study models of males and females. The study was conducted from October to December 2021.
Results: The study was conducted on 112 male and female samples each. For males, statistically significant underestimation were found for Aboul-Azm and Fouda’s method in both arches whereas Moyers method showed better accuracy in males. In females Moyers method showed a significant overestimation. In the total sample the Moyers method showed accuracy for maxillary arch whereas Aboul-Azm and Fouda’s method was more accurate for the mandibular arch.
Conclusion: Moyers method showed a good accuracy in the maxillary arch while in the mandibular arch Aboul-Azm and Fouda’s method was more accurate.

Published: July 2022

Introduction: Parents and caregivers are the key sources responsible for their children’s good health. They are the basic needs-provider and role models as well for their children to learn good oral habits early on. Thus, their awareness about the factors affecting child oral health is an essential component for the well-being of the child.
Objectives: To assess awareness of child oral health among parents and caregivers attending Pediatrics OPD at BPKIHS, Dharan.
Methodology: A cross-sectional questionnaire-based study was conducted among conveniently selected 400 parents and caregivers of six months-to-14-year-old children attending Pediatrics OPD, BPKIHS, Dharan. A single interviewer administered pre-tested standardized questionnaires to the participants. The questionnaires consisted of five domains: socio-demographic profile of the participants; child’s oral hygiene practices; child’s feeding and dietary habits; awareness of child’s first dental visit and presence of family dental problems; and child’s dental service utilization. Data were entered in MS excel 2007 and statistically analyzed using SPSS version 11.5. Data analysis included descriptive statistics.
Results: Majority (90%) of the parents and caregivers were literate and 44.3% belonged to the lower-class socioeconomic status. 83.3% of the participants reported that their children took a sugary diet and 77.6% of them brushed once daily before breakfast. 91% of the respondents reported the age of the child’s first dental visit to be any age when there was a dental problem. The awareness of the presence of oral health problems in their child was seen in 29.5%, whereas 18% had made previous dental visits.
Conclusion: Despite the fact that most parents and caregivers reported factors affecting their children's oral health, there was evidence of lack of awareness and, as a result, low utilization of dental services for their children.
Impact of temperature and soil moisture on paddy weed and productivity: A case of Lalitpur District, Nepal

Published: July 2022

Rice (Oryza sativa L.) is a major food crop for around 60% of the global population. The production of rice has been challenged by various biotic and abiotic factors. Temperature and soil moisture are the major abiotic and weeds are the major biotic factors for yield loss. The present experiment was conducted to investigate the impact of temperature and soil moisture on rice weed and rice productivity. The experiment was carried out under different temperatures (ambient, ambient +2°C, and ambient +3°C) and soil moisture (ambient, 25-30%, and 10-15%) conditions for the entire crop growth period from June to October 2014. Rice weeds were recorded after 28, 47 and 93 days of rice transplantation for varied soil moisture. Similarly, at varied temperature weeds were recorded after 19, 44 and 66 days of rice transplantation. The results showed that weed density increases under elevated temperature at 2°C and 3°C than under an ambient condition (existing in the surrounding area). An experiment on soil moisture stress indicates a reduction in rice productivity as the density of weed increases with the deficiency of soil moisture. Further studies on temperature and soil moisture resisting rice variety are essential. This study suggests that research on the control of weed species, targeting those weeds benefited at elevated temperature and soil moisture stress conditions, is necessary.

राज्यको उद्भव नै सेवा प्रवाहका लागि भएको हो। राज्यको आवश्यकता नागरिकको सेवा र सुरक्षामा धेरै हदसम्म आबद्ध छ। सार्वजनिक सेवा प्रवाह राज्यको प्रमुख दायित्व हो भने नागरिकको अधिकार हो। यसर्थ सरल र सहज रूपमा गुणस्तरीय सार्वजनिक सेवा प्रवाह गर्नु सरकारको दायित्व हो। सेवा प्रवाहका सम्बन्धमा “नागरिकको वरिपरि सेवा पुग्नुपर्दछ, न कि सेवाहरूको वरिपरि नागरिक” भन्ने भनाइ धेरै महत्त्वपूर्ण छ ।

मुलुकले सङघीय प्रणालीको अवलम्बन गर्नुको उद्देश्य सरकारलाई नागरिकको नजिक लानु पनि हो। जुन सार्वजनिक सेवा प्रवाहसँग जोडिएको छ। नेपालको संविधानले सार्वजनिक प्रशासनलाई स्वच्छ, सक्षम, निष्पक्ष, पारदर्शी, भ्रष्टाचारमुक्त, जनउत्तरदायी र सहभागितामूलक बनाउँदै राज्यबाट प्राप्त हुने सेवा सुविधामा नागरिकको समान र सहज पहुँच सुनिश्चित गरी सुशासनको प्रत्याभूति गर्ने नीति लिएको छ।

सार्वजनिक सेवा प्रवाहमा सरकार, निजी क्षेत्र  र गैरसरकारी क्षेत्र गरी तीन किसिमका संयन्त्रले कार्य गरिरेहका हुन्छन्।

नागरिकको सरकारप्रतिको दृष्टिकोण उनीहरूले प्राप्त गर्ने सार्वजनिक सेवाको गुणस्तर, सहजता र शीघ्रताको अवस्थाबाट बन्ने गर्दछ। यसैले सार्वजनिक सेवाको प्रभावकारीता राज्य प्रणाली र सरकारको कार्यसम्पादनको समग्र तस्बिर देखाउने ऐना पनि हो। नागरिकलार्इ प्रभावकारी रूपमा गरिएको सेवा प्रवाहले सरकारको क्रियाशीलता र सङघीय प्रणाली अवलम्बनको सार्थकता अनुभूति हुन सक्दछ।

Literatures stress on the consensual way of resolving disputes on tax policy process. By virtue of its identity, cooperative model of development is regarded as a pathway of establishing the equitable society based on social justice and personal dignity. The demand of setting a reasonable income tax has exposed a considerable debate in cooperative sector in Nepal. This study was carried out in order to find ways of building consensus for income tax policy process through a sample survey based on Israel (1992) in 100 savings and credit, multipurpose and consumer cooperatives in Kathmandu district and 25 policy makers, bureaucrats, cooperative leaders and professional as key informants. The district was supposed to be the most potential in terms of both tax contribution and evasion. The data were analyzed with qualitative method using descriptive statistical techniques in SPPS. The study found out the ways of consensus building for the full compliance of income tax through the fair service and consensual policy process that needs to be delivered by the government. The value based operation of the cooperatives needs to be carried out within the legal frame while contributing to increasing production, creating employment, and enhancing the quality of life. Therefore, it is suggested to both stakeholders for regularly interact to show mutual trust and flexibility while developing and pursuing the income tax compliance policy decently.

The contemporary challenges in the current field of public service of developing countries have led the scholars to explore new methods to increase the efficiency of the service mechanisms. South Asia, in specific, requires new and innovative policy making initiatives that promise much more efficient mechanisms than of the current standing to mitigate the contemporary challenges posed by the governments of the nations of the region. In doing so, a very unique academic program and approach stands out which proposes the integration of academicians and scholarly experts in the actual policy making processes and mechanisms of the governments. Consequently, in 2019 Kathmandu University have launched academic program (Master of Public Policy and Management - MPPM) and researchers, primarily academicians, developed more innovative policy labs where new and in-use policies are analyzed, tested and critiqued upon. This mechanism not only promises a more efficient model of policy making mechanism but also gives the relevant government access to a wider advisory group of experts who analyze, synthesize and suggest enhanced and comprehensive approaches towards policy making. Describing the need for mutual collaboration between academia and government in Nepal, this paper explores the prospects of a living public policy lab at the Kathmandu University School of Management (KUSOM) as public policy think tank and center of excellence for the public policy making mechanisms of the government whilst providing a comprehensive analysis of the current and proposed public policies. KUSOM policy lab aims to generate and disseminate ideas, knowledge and critical understanding for the formulation of an improved policy and its effective implementation to contribute in promoting democratic norms and values, rule of law, social justice and good governance through a critical public policy dialogue. The Policy lab will stimulate a human-centered design thinking approach towards policy innovation and facilitate an advanced exchange of ideas, build trust and become a catalyst for change on both regional and national scales. Using the methods of quantitative and qualitative analysis, the paper aims to study the efficiencies of the public policies processing them in a controlled environment in Nepal where the effectiveness of the policies will be tested with and without the intervention of the KUSOM public policy lab to determine the significance of the policy lab in the policy making mechanisms of the government of Nepal.

This paper intends to discuss what is problematic in the recruitment of KPPS members and how recruitment management is carried out by the Medan City KPU to meet the needs of KPPS members. The method used is qualitative. The research is located in Medan Tembung District, with research subjects namely members of KPPS, KPU, PPS, KPPS, PPK and voters. The data collection process is by interview, documentation and observation. The analysis used is content analysis. The problem with the extension of the recruitment of KPPS members is due to the implementation of the stages of recruiting KPPS members that are not in accordance with the rules. The Voting Committee (PPS) does not announce the registration of KPPS members but continues the recruitment to the Head of the Environment. The implementation of the recruitment management function was not going well and the control over the ad hoc agency was very weak, causing the recruitment of KPPS members to be carried out by the Head of the Environment. KPU needs to carry out political education programs in collaboration with academics and the government and the recruitment of KPPS members in the future requires a new pattern in order to create KPPS members who are independent and with integrity.

O artigo explora dois momentosda reflexão barthesiana sobre arepresentação: no primeiro, Barthescentra-se na questão da representaçãoliterária, para a qual aciona o conceitode “efeito de real”; no segundo, num dostextos dedicados à fotografia, surge oproblema da “representação traumática”,na qual o sentido encontra-se suspenso.Em ambos os casos, o que preocupaBarthes é a possibilidade de emergênciade um “aquém da linguagem”, o grauzero do sentido, irredutível à codificação.Ao traçar este percurso, pretende-seevidenciar a sutil inflexão na reflexãobarthesiana quando migra do signo verbalpara o icônico/indicial, ou da literaturapara a fotografia.

A singular intencionalidade é desaparecer monumentos icônicos através da simples ação do gesto de fotografar em múltiplas exposições, diluir e constituir nova visualidade. Utilizei uma câmera simples, de plástico e de pouco recursos, articulando elementos propriamente constitutivos do código fotográfico para anulação do tempo pela simultaneidade imagética do ato fotográfico; quebra-se o referente anulando o significado simbólico da ideia de monumento.
