Hipertextualitat artístico-poètica: la Venus de Josep Palau i Fabre i la immortalitat de la tradició cultural
Authors: Aguilar Miró Estel
Published: October 2022

Dans cet article, nous allons analyser le poème de Josep Palau i Fabre intitulé « La naixença de Venus. Botticelli » qui sera un moyen d’aborder la conception poétique alchimique de notre auteur. Nous allons essayer de démontrer de quelle façon nous nous trouvons face à un acte de vernacularisation de l’art à travers la poésie par le biais de l’hypertextualité à travers laquelle on observe une série de correspondances de forme et de fond entre l’hypotexte pictural et l’hypertexte poétique. De plus, ce processus que Fabre effectue participe à la pérennisation de la tradition culturelle et permet de combattre, avec un appel à l’amour, le silence et l’anéantissement qui caractérise l’époque de la guerre civile espagnole, durant laquelle fut écrit le poème.
Transferências culturais, resistências e fronteiras entre elites ibéricas e ibero-americanas
Authors: Campos Matos Sérgio
Published: October 2022

Cet article vise à problématiser certains transferts culturels entre les élites du Portugal et de l’Espagne, du milieu du XIXe siècle à l’établissement des dictatures du XXe siècle, sans oublier la résistance à ces échanges, dans un contexte où ibérismes, panhispanisme et hispano-américanisme se sont répandus et ont marqué les relations entre les nations péninsulaires et ibéro-américaines. Des propositions de rapprochement et d’intégration de nations ont suscité des résistances et délimité des frontières. Comment la conscience hispanique a-t-elle affirmé ce sentiment de proximité et d’éloignement ? Des partisans d’un ibérisme politique ou culturel ont manifesté une double fidélité à une patrie hispanique mais aussi à d’autres patries plus délimitées (Portugal, Espagne, Catalogne, etc.). Quels sens les frontières entre les cultures péninsulaires ont-elles acquis ? Conscience hispanique et consciences nationales ont coexisté : péninsulaires, hispaniques, espagnoles, catalanes, portugaises, entre autres. Des cas significatifs d’intellectuels, de diplomates et de voyageurs exilés seront pris comme exemples.
«O inferno é o real absoluto»: notas sobre as vanguardas tardias em Barcelona e Lisboa
Authors: Leal Izabela
Published: October 2022

Cet essai vise à établir des rapports entre les mouvements d’avant-garde ayant eu lieu à Lisbonne et à Barcelone à la fin des années 1940, en prenant pour repère l’année 1948. À Lisbonne, cette année est marquée par la rupture de Mário Cesariny avec le Grupo Surrealista de Lisboa et la formation d’un nouveau groupe appelé Os Surrealistas. À Barcelone, cette même année, le groupe d’avant-garde catalan Dau al Set voit le jour ainsi qu’une revue éponyme. Jean Brossa figure parmi les membres fondateurs du groupe. Il est intéressant de noter que ces avant-gardes tardives se sont développées dans des contextes politiques très peu favorables : État Nouveau au Portugal, Franquisme en Espagne. De cette façon, nous entendons discuter de la dimension engagée et de la résistance que représentent ces deux mouvements artistiques.
La narrativa breu d’Isabel-Clara Simó: a propòsit d’uns contes inèdits
Authors: Cortés Orts Carles
Published: October 2022

La carrière littéraire d'Isabel-Clara Simó (1943-2020) s’est essentiellement développée dans les genres narratifs. Ainsi, elle alterne l'écriture et la publication de romans et de nouvelles. C'est dans ce sous-genre que nous voulons concentrer notre analyse, et c'est dans les nouvelles, probablement en raison de leur brièveté, qu’elle offre une grande expérimentation stylistique et thématique ensuite déployée dans les romans. L'autrice expérimente dans divers sous-genres et styles, ce qui nous amène à trouver une grande hétérogénéité structurelle dans ses textes. Cependant, on peut souligner un fait commun qui est l'importance qu’elle accorde au traitement des voix narratives comme reflet de la réalité dans laquelle évoluent les personnages. Nous nous concentrons sur plusieurs nouvelles inédites que nous avons pu consulter par le biais de la famille. Nous analysons également la dernière des publications d’Isabel-Clara Simó, le volume Prime Time. Irrévérences (2019), qui pour diverses raisons n'a pas été distribué dans les circuits commerciaux. Des textes fondamentaux pour comprendre l'évolution de sa stylistique et la diversité de ses thèmes, avec une volonté permanente d'expérimentation.

Authors: Bansal Hina , Jha Shambhawi
Published: October 2022

Two environmental problems that affect human society are pollution and improper rubbish management. This can happen as a result of common household and commercial activities, and it could have an impact on every environment on the world. From effluent runoff to the disposal of industrial waste and oil spills, human activity has a significant long-term impact on rivers and oceans. Waste and toxins can spread for decades once they enter natural cycles, causing long-term damage. In order to treat polluted media, bioremediation modifies the environment to promote the growth and breakdown of the target pollutants by microorganisms. Artificial intelligence technology has taken on a new sparkle in the current day by entering the bioremediation and wastewater treatment fields. It enables the computer to programme and carry out particular tasks using well developed and implemented mathematical methods. The chapter discusses AI techniques like artificial neural network, fuzzy logics, and genetic algorithms used for bioremediation and wastewater treatment.

Authors: Tshishonga Ndwakhulu Stephen
Published: October 2022

This chapter explores the expectations and perceptions of lecturers and students pertaining to blended learning as an emerging model for teaching and learning. Blended learning is considered a style of education in which students learn through the interface of online educational materials and technology as well as traditional face-to-face teaching. The research method used for this chapter is qualitative in nature and uses interviews and document analysis as the main data collection instruments. Views were drawn from the lecturers and students reading for Post-Graduate Diploma in Community Development at the University of KwaZulu-Natal. Another challenge relates to the upskilling of lecturers in the usage of e-learning tools and accessing of computers by students, especially those in the rural areas. The transition from the traditional classrooms in a face-to-face environment to that of the online environment remains a challenge for most lecturers and students alike.
Recent Trends in Microstrip Patch Antenna Using Textile Applications
Authors: S. Kannadhasan , R. Nagarajan , Venusamy Kanagaraj
Published: October 2022

Wireless body area networks (WBANs) have gotten a lot of interest as the need for wearable gadgets like smart watches, eyewear, and clothing grows. WBAN applications need the use of a conformal antenna. A low-profile IR-UWB antenna and an all-textile higher order mode circular patch antenna for omnidirectional radiation were used to meet this need. To achieve maximum power output, researchers need to maintain the antenna's efficiency as high as feasible while designing a lightweight antenna for wireless power transfer. The need for tiny textile antennas with high gain and broadband features has risen in response to the fast growth of wireless power transfer. Microstrip patch antennas provide a number of advantages, including a cheap cost, a low profile, a light weight, and a simple manufacturing method. Increases in substrate thickness, antenna efficiency, use of a low dielectric substrate, and different impedance matching and feeding techniques are all examples of ways to enhance antenna bandwidth.

Published: October 2022

COVID-19 has reduced international joint ventures. However, most of the organizations across the world have adopted deglobalization, and it has aided in facing the problems of natural disasters and other challenges. Thus, with globalization and internationalization reduced, organizations are focused on the domestic markets for the investment and manufacturing process. This chapter highlights deglobalization. International trade is also one of the expected survivor tools of the current pandemic situation, but due to COVID-19, it has depreciated, and people have started to believe in deglobalization, which has increased the value of domestic markets. Further, this chapter discusses the risk of deglobalization in the world economy and the consequences of deglobalization on international trade post COVID-19.
A successful pregnancy after 8 consecutive miscarriages of a young woman with antisynthetase syndrome
Authors: Coates Claudia , Wedsinghe Lilantha , Hennessey Ashleigh , Sekar Renuka
Published: October 2022

Antisynthetase Syndrome is an autoimmune inflammatory condition which, due to its rarity, has not been well studied in pregnancy. The literature that does exist has shown affected patients are at significant risk of obstetric complications. We herein report the pregnancy of a 25-year-old gravida-9 para-0 woman who was referred to our regional obstetric unit at fifteen weeks gestation with her first ongoing pregnancy following eight previous first trimester losses. She had known Antisynthetase Syndrome with active disease at the time of conception. An ultrasound scan at 24+4 weeks gestation showed a fetus that was asymmetrically growth restricted with abnormal umbilical and middle cerebral artery dopplers. This triggered urgent transfer to a tertiary unit where she delivered a live baby male at 24+6 weeks gestation by classical caesarean section. The placenta showed evidence of maternal vascular malperfusion. Despite delivery at a periviable gestation her son is now four months of age. Reflecting on our own practice we present a management approach for future pregnancies with particular focus on fetal surveillance.
Intrapartum spontaneous pneumomediastinum: recognizing and treating a rare entity
Authors: Pearson Thomas , Coates Claudia , Wedsinghe Lilantha
Published: October 2022

A 20-year-old nulliparous woman presented to our obstetric unit in spontaneous labour at 39+1 weeks gestation following an uncomplicated pregnancy. After a short labour she progressed to a spontaneous vaginal delivery of a live male infant. Immediately after delivery she experienced retrosternal chest pain, facial swelling and dyspnoea. On examination her chest was clear to auscultation, but extensive subcutaneous emphysema was noted over the chest, neck and face. She remained a diagnostic dilemma until a plain chest radiograph revealed a large volume pneumomediastinum and a CT chest and barium swallow excluded an oesophageal perforation leading to the diagnosis of Hamman’s syndrome. She responded well to supportive cares and was discharged home on day three postpartum. Spontaneous pneumomediastinum or Hamman's syndrome has been rarely reported in the literature as a complication of labour. Although it runs a benign course it often masquerades as more lethal conditions and clinicians should have a good understanding of its diagnosis and management to ensure good outcomes.

MEASUREMENT OF PORT CITIES – A SYSTEMATIC LITERATURE REVIEW APPROACH
Authors: Selvaduray Mahendrran , Omoju Babatunde , Yunus Norhaslinda
Published: October 2022

A port city is a city that engages in port and maritime activities and also develops land and maritime economic activities. However, the concept or the tools to measure whether a seaport has achieved the criteria of port-city is still lacking. This paper aims to identify the port city measurement and to propose a novel framework for extending port city development as a tool to improve the maritime tourism sector. This paper adopted a traditional systematic literature review (SLR) with content analysis to code the outcome. The final results indicate that only seven articles validated outcomes from the Scopus database. Based on the global view outcome, there are only six main clusters and 27 sub-factors influencing the development of port cities. The six main clusters were: port characteristics; the awareness of maritime stakeholders, port intensity, vessel characteristics, information technology, and the government’s role. The new strategies could lead to a digitalization of decision-making methods in smart maritime tourism in port city development.

Authors: Mhd Ruslan Siti Marsila , Mokhtar Kasypi , Razak Ruslam
Published: October 2022

The East Coast Economic Region (ECER) was established in 2007 with the announcement of the ECER Master Plan by the Malaysian Government. Meanwhile, the ECER Development Council (ECERDC) is driving development in the ECER by launching several high-impact projects and programmes to promote socioeconomic transformation by increasing private investment in the region. The ultimate goal is to close the socioeconomic gap between East and West Coasts by empowering local communities to benefit from job and entrepreneurial opportunities. One of the ECER projects is the construction of the Palekbang Bridge in Kelantan, which will connect Kota Bharu and Palekbang, Tumpat. The bridge construction is critical in light of two factors: Congestion at the Sultan Yahya Petra Bridge and limited growth in the Kota Bharu city centre. This paper discusses the role of ECERDC as the primary monitoring body for the project, as well as the potential of the Palekbang Bridge to provide physical, economic, and social benefits to citizens. It is hoped that the bridge construction will address congestion and limited growth, stimulate trade activities, improve connectivity, and accessibility. As a result, economic growth across all economic sectors will be boosted in the coming years.

Published: October 2022

Indo-European languages are the native languages of the habitants of south and west Eurasia. It is the largest spoken language family in the world with 3.5 billion speakers, corresponding to 46% of the world population. Kurdish and English are genetically related, belong to the same family branch of languages, and are believed to have evolved from a common proto-language. Lexical Similarity measures the similarity and/or difference between a set of words from any given two languages. Despite the abundance of lexical similarity coefficients between various world languages in the literature, there are no available data on Kurdish, even though many Kurdish natives learn English as L2. The objective of this paper is to estimate the lexical similarity between two remotely related Indo-European languages. Our results showed (8.75%) and (9.75%) lexical similarity between English and Kurdish according to the Leipzig-Jakarta and Swadesh lists respectively; giving the average of (9.25%). In conclusion, English and Kurdish languages are related Indo-European languages and the lists used in this research are proven to be reliable in the comparison between the studied languages. These cognates can be helpful for the learners and teachers of Kurdish and Kurdish in their language acquisition process.

Authors: Bantu Abebe Negesse , Malik N.S.
Published: October 2022

Ethiopian Youth Revolving Fund (YRF) loan was established with the objective to provide financial and technical assistance to unemployed youths in alleviating their economic and social difficulties by using the fund sustainably. However, the government and Oromia Credit and Saving Share Company (OCSSCo) reports(2017/218-2020/2021) show that loan repayment was not performed as expected for the reasons not yet scientifically studied and justified. The objective of this study was to examine the effect of perceived political environment variables on loan repayment performance and sustainability of YRF in Oromia Regional State, Ethiopia. The study used cross-sectional descriptive and explanatory research design and the data was collected from 328 sample respondents in the selected area. STATA software version 16 was employed and Chi-square (X2) test of association was used to check the significant association among different explanatory variables and their effect on YRF loan repayment performance. The findings showed that variables such as initial time of fund release, perception that money is political kit, information asymmetry about fund, escorted systematic corruption, intervention of third party in fund approval, losses and damages of business due to political instability and strikes have affected loan repayment performance and sustainability of YRF at less than 5% level of significance. Finally, the government and OCSSCo are recommended to create sufficient public awareness to about the fund, provide adequate trainings and guidance and follow-up borrowers’ businesses. Government should also create a system that minimize unnecessary intervention on fund approval, eliminate bias and nepotism, make accountable officials for misconduct. It should be also develop fewer policies and legislative texts to govern the implementation of YRF and create a public- private partnership to implement and manage the fund keeping remote its hands from implementation of the fund but with adequate supervision to ensure the fund’s effectiveness and long-term sustainability.

A Review on Parkinson’s Disease: Overview and Management
Authors: Chaudhary Sarika , Tyagi Nilika
Published: October 2022

After Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease is the most prevalent neurodegenerative condition. Parkinson's disease normally appears between the ages of 55 and 65, affects 1 to 2 percent of persons over 60, and progresses to 3 to 5 percent of people between the ages of 85 and 89. The olfactory bulbs and nucleus as well as the dorsal motor nucleus of the vagus nerve are first affected, followed by the locus coeruleus and finally the substantia nigra. Later on, the brain's cortical regions are impacted. The multifaceted pathophysiologic changes that result in impairments not only of the motor system but also of the cognitive and neuropsychological systems are caused by damage to these numerous neural systems. Although there is no known cure for Parkinson's disease, drugs can frequently significantly reduce the symptoms. Since they may be taken for a long period without having serious side effects and contain antioxidant characteristics, herbal drugs do well in this category. Surgery may be indicated in select cases with more severe conditions.

Authors: Obiamaka Okeke Virginia , Mom Njong Aloysius , Mayin Kinga Bertila
Published: October 2022

Purpose: Inadequate financial support and provision of poor-quality health services among the health facilities are major causes behind poor performance of Community Health Financing (CHF). The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of adequate funding and health service provision on micro health insurance growth, taking BEPHA as a case study.

Methodology: The descriptive and explanatory research designs were used in this study. Data was collected by administering questionnaires to 400 respondents. Interviews were also carried out on 10 staff of BEPHA. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, correlation, and multiple regression analysis.

Findings: In results regarding BEPHA financing, 70% of those interviewed believed it is high while 30% indicated that it is low. Out of 400 participants 191 (47.8%) of them perceived services offered by BEPHA partner hospitals as fair while 182 (45.5%) perceived their services as good. The correlation results showed a strong positive and significant relationship between sufficiency of BEPHA financing (r= 0.802, p < 0.05) and quality of BEPHA health services (r = 0.667, p < 0.05) with the growth of BEPHA as a health insurance scheme. The multiple regression analysis results showed that sufficiency of BEPHA financing (β=0.166; p < 0.1), has a positive and significant effect on growth of BEPHA. The quality of BEPHA health services (β=0.200; p < 0.1) also has a significant positive effect on growth of BEPHA. Concisely, the study revealed that the funding and quality of BEPHA health services can determine the variations in the growth of BEPHA health insurance scheme.

Recommendations: This study thus recommended that, the scheme should reduce the waiting period for minor health risk to at most 2 weeks while the 6 months waiting period for major health risk including delivery should be reduced to one (01) month to increase finances from large enrolment. It also recommended the sensitization of health personnel on good customer service principles to increase service quality at these partner health facilities.

Authors: Victor Abhulimen , Francis Gbobo Isesoma
Published: October 2022

Purpose: Fournier’s gangrene is a rapidly progressing necrotizing fasciitis. It is a true urological emergency. It is a relatively rare condition. The aim was to highlight the presentation and management of Fournier’s gangrene following circumcision.

Methodology: This was a retrospective study. Eight patients who presented with features of Fournier’s gangrene post circumcision between January 2012 and December 2021 to University of Port Harcourt Teaching Hospital UPTH were included in the study. A questionnaire was used to obtain data from all patients listed in the medical records department as having been treated for Fournier’s gangrene during the study period. Data collected include age at presentation, level of education of mother, duration of symptoms before presentation, who carried out the circumcision, where the circumcision was carried out, number of debridement carried out and complications. The data was entered using Microsoft Excel 2016 version and transferred into the statistical package for social sciences (SPSS) for windows (version 20) (IBM SPSS Inc. Chicago, IL) for analysis. Categorical data was presented in the form of frequencies and percentages using tables. Continuous variables were presented in means and standard deviation. Results were presented in tables and charts.

Findings: A total of eight patients had FG following circumcision. The median age was 14days and range was from 10 days to 10years. The parents of most patients (87.5%) presented with no formal education or primary level of education. Most patients (62.5%) presented 4 to 6 days after onset of symptoms. Five out of 8 had their circumcision by a traditional attendant. Three patients had complications. One patient died. Circumcision can be a predisposing factor to FG especially if it is carried out at home, and by untrained personnel. Early presentation and management gives the best outcome.

Recommendation: Only trained personnel should carry out circumcision. When parents or caregivers notice any unusual change post circumcision, they should present immediately to the hospital.

The Study of Amy Webb : The Futuristic Novel

Published: October 2022

We’re looking at the futures of complex, volatile issues––artificial intelligence, workforce automation, global supply chains, geopolitics, the impacts of social media–– the math doesn’t work out. The goal isn’t to predict; it is to be prepared for alternative outcomes. Leaders and their teams must rehearse plausible futures, which mean being flexible on how to accomplish transformation normally, the people we’ve interviewed are academics who have been researching one theme their entire life. You’re a foresight specialist. If you had to define your big idea, what would it be? It’s about flexibility. Most people and organizations are very inflexible in how they think about the future. In fact, it’s difficult to imagine yourself in the future, and there are neurological reasons for that. Our brains are designed to deal with immediate problems, not future ones. That plus the pace of technology improvement is becoming so fast that we’re increasingly focused on the now. Collectively, we are learning to be “nowists,” not futurists study..

The Pragmatics of Trucage: Between
Feigning and Fiction
Authors: Jost François
Published: October 2022

Christian Metz once famously defined special effects (or trucages) in terms
of a hiatus with regards to the analogical reproduction of reality. A pragmatic
theory, however, must take into consideration the context wherein special
effects appear as well as the role of the spectator. Therefore, the goal of this
essay is not so much to describe special effects but rather to grasp when
something on the screen is experienced by the spectator as a special effect.
Special effects are not necessarily self-defining. Hence, determining whether
something is a special effect depends in great measure on the knowledge and
beliefs that spectators possess not so much regarding cinema but relative to
the world. In this essay, the author distinguishes three types of counterfeits.
First, one finds counterfeits of reality whereby a trucage falsely turns an
icon into an index. Next, one finds counterfeits of lived reality which open
up the vast domain of feigning, that of the as if — i.e., of that which could
well have happened. Finally, there also exists a counterfeiting of documents
that proceeds by modifying or touching up a pre-existent representation.
Gates to the ‘heathen world’
Authors: Groten Miel
Published: October 2022

Missionary organisations became a major channel between European
societies and the colonial world. The multi-functional mission houses in
Europe where missionaries were headquartered became the symbols of
these religious networks. In written and visual representations, mission
houses were portrayed as sites of Christian civilisation, predicated on a pitiful
‘heathen world’ to be converted and brought into a civilised condition,
and often contained museums with objects from that world. The mission
house of the Basel Mission in Basel, Switzerland (1858–1860) offers a case
in point. Furthermore, investigating the building and the ways in which
it was made into a meaningful site shows how countries without colonies,
such as Switzerland, could share in the images and ideas of imperial culture.
Business palaces to rule the waves

Shipping enabled imperialism like no other domain, enabling trade,
communication, and migration between metropoles and colonies as
technological innovations cut travel times, especially the harnessing of
steam power. In European port cities, the infrastructure of docks and
warehouses and the offices of shipping lines formed the tangible reminders
of imperial shipping. Shipping lines used their offices not only for the
management of their operations but also to underline the luxury and
reliability of their services to prospective passengers. The first office of
the German shipping line HAPAG in Hamburg (1899–1903) exemplified
this pattern. Soon, however, a major overhaul (1912–1920), necessitated by
the line’s rapid growth, transformed the building into an imposing office
that mediated HAPAG’s status as an ‘imperial’ firm.
Challenges to an Iconic River-City
Authors: Kanungo Pralay
Published: October 2022

Varanasi represents a unique confluence of river, religion, and city. An
ancient city revered as a holy city by Hindus, Varanasi displays magnificent
material heritage in the ghats (riverfront) built on the banks of the sacred
river Ganges, where Hindu rituals like Ganga Aarti are performed every
day. Varanasi has also been a symbol of Hindu-Muslim co-living for centuries,
demonstrating the heritage of cultural and communal harmony
in multiple arenas—from music to weaving. However, the core elements
of this iconic river-city, which constitute the identity of Varanasi, are
threatened today as inter-community relations become strained, material
and cultural heritage are endangered, and the pure sacred river inches
toward extinction due to severe pollution.
Water’s Edge Urbanisms along the Buckingham Canal in Chennai
Authors: Coelho Karen
Published: October 2022

This chapter examines the edges of urban waterways as intra-urban
peripheries where dynamic processes of place-making and appropriation
occur. Chennai’s Buckingham Canal has undergone shifting valuations
in the city’s urbanization history since its construction by the British
as a navigation channel in the late 1800s. Having degenerated into an
urban drain after the 1950s, it was revalorized in the 2000s through new
eco-restoration visions. This dynamic ignored other histories of the canal
including those of informal settlements and small-scale industries that had
grown along its banks, offering working-class families a foothold in the city,
and who now face eviction. This chapter draws on multi-sited ethnography
in three canal-bank settlements to describe the shifting trajectories of
opportunity, challenge, and threat that water’s edge urbanism offers.
The Stigmatic Spectrum and the Visual Arts
Authors: Warr Cordelia
Published: October 2022

Tommaso Caffarini’s Libellus de Supplemento supported and promoted Catherine of Siena’s cult by discussing Catherine as a stigmatic, advocating the correct way of representing her stigmatization, and placing her within the context of the phenomenon of stigmata. In Tractatus VII Caffarini argued for an expanded interpretation of stigmata. This chapter explores his discussion of what I term a spectrum of stigmatic symptoms and behaviours and how these were represented in the manuscript of the Libellus in Siena. I argue that the stigmatic spectrum was consciously promoted in some fifteenth-century Dominican panel paintings and that particular images were also reflexive in their use of the depiction of paintings and sculptures, focusing attention on the interconnectivity of stigmatic experience and visual culture.
Gregorio Lombardelli, Invisibility, and the Representation of Saint Catherine of Siena’s Stigmata
Authors: Warr Cordelia
Published: October 2022

The promotion of Catherine of Siena’s stigmata through their visual representation was strongly contested by the Franciscans supported, towards the end of the fifteenth century, by a pope from their own order, Sixtus IV. In response, Dominican apologists of the sixteenth and early-seventeenth centuries made arguments supporting images of Catherine with stigmata. This chapter concentrates on the Sienese Dominican Gregorio Lombardelli whose views on the tasks of art were informed by discussions about the rationale for picturing the sacred and miraculous in the period following the Council of Trent. By placing Lombardelli’s arguments within the context of post-Tridentine writings on art, this chapter contributes to scholarship on the plurality of discussions about the purposes of art during this period.
Performing Stigmata
Authors: Warr Cordelia
Published: October 2022

Some stigmatics performed their stigmata, presenting living or moving images to viewers who could interact with the re-presentation of the Passion. They could also make use of visual art, which acted as catalyst or prop. Interactions between the performer and audience demonstrated the importance of visual culture within stigmatic spirituality through multiple reciprocities across the visual arts. Members of the audience were engaged in ways that allowed them to see and reflect on the evidence presented, and to use their visual observations to inform their acceptance, or otherwise, of the validity of the display. This chapter considers how the visual nature of performing stigmata can deepen our understanding of the ways in which people perceived the miraculous through the visual.
Painting, Printing, Sculpting, Forgery (and Washing)
Authors: Warr Cordelia
Published: October 2022

The display of stigmata in images was subject to scrutiny, debate, controversy, and censorship. Conversely, when stigmata were described or discussed in texts their visual qualities could be emphasized using multiple strategies. This chapter explores ways in which texts brought visuality to bear on contemporary understandings of female stigmatics, arguing that an emphasis on the visual and the use of comparisons and juxtapositions with visual art were crucial elements in the formulation, interrogation, and understanding of stigmatic identity, genuine or fraudulent. Ways of construing stigmata in textual material were related to the variety of stigmatic experience, the diversity of the physical appearance of the stigmata, and the number of stigmatics as well as understandings of images and image making.
