THE CHALLENGE OF SUPPORTING CREATIVE INDUSTRIES—SCOTTISH EXAMPLE
Authors: Markiewicz Joanna
Published: October 2015

This article aims to explore the idea of the supporting system for creative industries, which plays a pivotal role in today’s economy. Creative businesses, which range from individual musicians to companies dealing with publications, demand special attention and tailor-made support services. Therefore, in this article, the analysis is carried out based on the information gained in an in-depth interview and the supporting system for creative industries, which have been functioning in Scotland and the main barriers in providing support services.As shown by the research, a problem exists regarding a proper classification of creative industries, which causes difficulties in measuring them. Moreover, lumping creative businesses with artists to the same group results in criticism from artist communities as they feel that art is no longer being supported, only invested. This piece of research is a part of a research project, which aims at comparing the systems for supporting creative industries in Szczecin and in Glasgow. The empirical approach will be enriched by the theoretical discourse on policies shaping the environment of creative industries. This article, therefore, provides important knowledge concerning building effective system for supporting creative industries, both for scholars and practitioners (managers of business support organizations and policy makers). This knowledge and experience are especially needed in central and east European countries, where the awareness about creative industries is very low.
IMPORTANCE OF REPUTATION IN THE ASSESSMENT OF CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY
Authors: Vartiak Lukáš
Published: October 2015

Successful organizations need to be profitable and also recognized by the general public. Therefore, organizations are becoming more socially responsible. Socially responsible actions are positively perceived. These actions together are molding the organization’s reputation. The purpose of this study was to highlight the importance of reputation in the assessment of corporate social responsibility (CSR). The purpose is realized by the secondary research, which consists of parsing the worldwide CSR ranking. Analysis, comparison, and selection are methods used in the secondary research. As the main finding, it may be considered that connections between reputation and CSR exist in three dimensions. Information from the secondary research confirms the importance of reputation in the CSR assessment. Recommendations arising from this study are that organizations should act socially responsible and they should inform the general public about their CSR performance, so that they can obtain a competitive advantage.

ESTIMATING VALUE-AT-RISK BASED ON NON-NORMAL DISTRIBUTIONS
Authors: Bohdalová Mária , Greguš Michal
Published: October 2015

The article presents a comparative study of parametric linear value-at-risk (VaR) models used for estimating the risk of financial portfolios. We illustrate how to adjust VaR for auto-correlation in portfolio returns. The article presents static and dynamic methodology to compute VaR, based on the assumption that daily changes are independent and identically distributed (normal or non-normal) or auto-correlated in terms of the risk factor dynamics. We estimate the parametric linear VaR over a risk horizon of 1 day and 10 days at 99% and 95% confidence levels for the same data. We compare the parametric VaR and a VaR obtained using Monte Carlo simulations with historical simulations and use the maximum likelihood method to calibrate the distribution parameters of our risk factors. The study investigated whether the parametric linear VaR applies to contemporary risk factor analysis and pertained to selected foreign rates.
THE ISSUES OF SUSTAINABLE ECONOMIC GROWTH
Authors: Azizov Ulugbek
Published: October 2015

This article discusses the importance of economic growth. The study analyzes several criteria influencing the economic growth of Uzbekistan, and describes the scientific conception and options of components relating to classic economic theory. This research reveals the conceptual basis for economic growth in Uzbekistan by means of varying instruments, and recommends mechanisms to improve the country’s economy. In particular, monetary policy and fiscal policy approaches are highly effective in maximizing the economic growth rate and reaching positive positions in both internal and external balances. Therefore, monetary and fiscal policies are a high-priority issue for policy makers and the government. This is especially topical for the policy makers of Uzbekistan, which in 1991 - after proclaiming independence, adopted an evolutionary reform strategy and began a gradual transformation from a Centrally Planned Economy to a Socially Orientated Market Economy.
SELECTED FACTORS DETERMINING THE PERFORMANCE OF THE CZECH PUBLIC PROCUREMENT SYSTEM
Authors: Sumpikova Marketa , Nemec Juraj , Orviska Marta , Grega Matúš
Published: October 2015

Public procurement today represents approximately 15% of governmental expenditure in developed countries and an area with high potential for continual improvement, especially for countries with transitional economies. This article investigates competitiveness and the selection method, which are two factors of many identified, such as from studies of Transparency International or the Charles University, that relate to the limited results of procurement procedures under Czech Republic conditions. Our study identified important weaknesses in the Czech public procurement process for future reforms to consider.
PRESENTATION OF RECEPTOR-CONTACTING LOOP OF HUMAN IGE ON THE HBCAG PARTICLES
Authors: Baltabekova Aliya Zhanatayevna , Shustov Alexander Vyacheslavovich
Published: October 2015

Immunoglobulin of class E(IgE) plays a central role in allergies and allergic asthma. Therapeutic anti-IgE vaccine is expected to elicit autologous antibodies targeting the endogenous IgE molecules and neutralize allergic mechanism. Virus-like particles (VLPs) are a form of immunogens capable of breaking self-tolerance and represent an attractive platform for designing the therapeutic vaccines against self-antigens, such as the IgE. We designed VLPsfrom the core protein of hepatitis B virus (HBcAg). Arrays of the receptor-contacting epitopes of the human IgE were engineered on the VLP surfaces.Objectives: Primary objective of this study was to develop IgE-epitope antigen that induces antibodies against the receptor-contacting epitope on the human IgE molecule.Methods: Genes encoding the empty carrier and HBcAg with insertion of IgE epitope were constructed de novo and cloned into pET expression vectors. Ultracentrifugation in sucrose gradients and size exclusion chromatography (SEC) were used to purify VLPs.Electron microscopy and dynamic light scattering were used for proof of the VLPs appearance. Mice were immunized, andwestern blotswere conducted with immune sera to reveal the presence of the induced anti-(human)IgE antibodies. Titers of the anti-IgE were measured in ELISA.Results: Two types ofplasmid constructs for expression of the VLPs carrying IgEepitope arrays were produced. One typerepresents aninsertion of an immunogenic peptide into HBcAg by construction of a contiguous fusion protein in which the peptide is flanked with sequences of the carrier. The other type is different in that the carrier protein is “split” into two polypeptide chains which upon expression remain associated in a stable VLP-forming subunit. The splitting was achieved by construction of a bicistronic RNA (s.c. “SplitCore” technology). The obtained IgE-epitope antigens with contiguous sequences appeared to be incapable of formation of VLPs. On the contrary, the split core protein efficiently formed VLPs. Immunization of mice with the VLPs presenting the IgE Cε3 FG loop resulted in the development of high titers of antibodies-recognizing human IgE in ELISA.Conclusion: Recombinantly expressed VLPs presenting the IgE Cε3 FG loop elicitthe anti-IgE antibodies upon immunization. Application of the SplitCore technology to construct IgE-epitope antigens can result in a pan-allergy anti-IgE vaccine.
PREPARATION OF CHEMICAL AND PHYSICAL CONJUGATES OF SELF-ASSEMBLING NANOPARTICLES WITH CELL-PENETRATING PEPTIDE AND DOXORUBICIN

Published: October 2015

Abstract: Nano-sized carriers can help to reduce toxicity and improve clinical efficacy of drugs. Virus-like particles (VLPs) are biocompatible and biodegradable self-assembling nanoparticles, which show great promise as carriers for substances for targeted delivery and controlled release. Either chemical conjugation of physical incorporation without formation of covalent bonds is possible to load substances of interest into VLPs.Objectives: To produce VLPs from recombinant viral capsid protein (HBcAg) and test feasibility of methods of formation of chemical and physical conjugates of VLPs with substances of pharmacological interest.Methods: Virus-like particles composed from recombinant hepatitis B core antigen (HBcAg) were produced by recombinant expression in E.coli and purified by successive centrifugation through sucrose gradients. Peptide transportan 10 was synthesized and used for carbodiimide (EDC)-mediated conjugation to VLPs. Doxorubicin (DOX) was loaded into the nucleic acid-containing VLPs to form physical conjugate.Results: VLPs with chemically attached moieties of cell-penetrating peptide transportan 10 were produced. The conjugate was examined in SDS-PAGE to confirm presence of conjugation products. Conjugation efficiency (molar ration peptide/protein in the conjugate) reaches 0.5:1 (i.e. 50% of protein chains have one attached peptide moiety). The nucleic acid-containing VLPs can be loaded with the DOX forming stable non-covalent physical conjugate.Conclusion: Recombinantly expressed VLPs allow easy attaching of small molecules making them a convenient platform to develop drug carriers.

Developing a questionnaire to assess the outcome of memory rehabilitation for people with neurological disabilities
Authors: Chouliara Niki , Lincoln Nadina B
Published: October 2015

Aims:

To develop an outcome questionnaire, the Adaptation to Memory Difficulties Outcome Questionnaire, on the effectiveness of memory rehabilitation.

Methods:

An initial pool of items was identified through observations and qualitative interviews with participants receiving memory rehabilitation. A 45-item version of the questionnaire was posted to people with traumatic brain injury and multiple sclerosis. A second copy was posted to those who agreed to be reassessed 2 weeks later.

Results:

The questionnaire was returned by 141 people. Some items were removed due to poor response distributions. Principal component analysis indicated that the questionnaire comprised five subscales: i) memory knowledge; ii) control; iii) emotional adjustment; iv) internal memory aids; v) external memory aids. Internal consistency was satisfactory (Cronbach's alpha=0.74–0.84). Test–retest reliability was assessed on 50 participants completing a second questionnaire within a 4-week interval and was shown to be satisfactory (Cronbach's alpha=0.67–0.86). There was no significant association between subscale scores and age, gender, diagnosis or time since onset.

Conclusions:

The questionnaire may be used as a measure of the effect of memory problems, tailored to the aims of memory rehabilitation. Responsiveness to change needs to be assessed.
Media and public accountability: typology and exploration
Authors: Jacobs Sandra , Schillemans Thomas
Published: October 2015

The role of the media in public accountability has often been discussed. This is especially the case for public sector organisations, whose accountability relations have changed in the shift from government to governance. In this paper, we develop a typology of the ways mass media are involved in public accountability processes. Media can stimulate actors to reflect on their behaviour, trigger formal accountability by reporting on the behaviour of actors, amplify formal accountability as they report on it or act as an independent and informal accountability forum. To explore the presence of these roles in practice, we focus on public sector organisations in the Netherlands. Our quantitative and qualitative analysis in the Netherlands suggests that the media primarily serve an indirect role in public accountability, either by invoking pre-emptive self-criticism in public organisations in anticipation of potential media scrutiny or by triggering formal accountability demands from MPs
Cubans in the United States and Spain: The Diaspora Generational Divide
Authors: Eckstein Susan , Berg Mette Louise
Published: October 2015

For decades the Miami-based Cuban diaspora successfully represented itself globally as a monolithic bloc and influenced US policy vis-à-vis Cuba. Yet the success glosses over the diversity of the Cuban diaspora, not only in Miami, but in the United States more widely, as well as internationally. The first wave of émigrés, who are known as “exiles,” have for decades campaigned for a watertight embargo against Cuba and have on principle refused to visit their homeland. By contrast, more recent Cuban émigrés, who have left the island since the economic crisis of the 1990s and who are less affluent and have less political clout, have forged cross-border transnational links with kin and friends on the island. In this article, building on Mannheim’s thesis about the long-lasting impact that early-life experiences may have, we show that diasporic Cubans who left Cuba with shared experiences and then settled in the United States or Spain adapted similarly, and relate to Cuba in similar ways, and differently from Cubans who emigrated at other points in time with different pre-migration lived experiences. Specifically, we compare and contrast two historically grounded generations in the United States and in Spain in terms of labor market insertion, political incorporation, and linguistic and cultural acculturation in the two host countries. We thereby illustrate the explanatory power of our historically grounded thesis of diasporic generation formations that we elucidated in the Introduction. The article shows how historically grounded pre-migration experiences continue to shape and mold the ways in which immigrants relate to their homeland from abroad, in ways that neither the assimilationist nor the transnational framework can account for. The article then discusses implications of this finding for the conceptualization of “generation” within research on migration more broadly.
Avian Plague: Sophocles’ Oedipus Tyrannus and Alfred Hitchcock’s The Birds

Étude de l’intertextualité entre Les Oiseaux d’Alfred Hitchcock (1963) et Oedipe Roi de Sophocle dont la première eut lieu à Athènes en 427 av. J.-C. en trois volets: d’abord, les similitudes chez ces auteurs des mécaniques de production, ensuite les ressemblances structurelles entre le film et la pièce, et enfin leur lien thématique profond, ce qui implique de la part de Hitchcock une bonne connaissance de la tragédie de Sophocle. Les oiseaux de Hitchcock sont assimilables à une peste « avienne », semblable au point de vue fonctionnel et structurel à la peste sur laquelle s’ouvre l’ Oedipe Roi .

The Face of Tragedy: From Theatrical Mask to Cinematic Close-up
Authors: Winkler Martin M.
Published: October 2015

Étude de l’emploi des masques dans le théâtre antique en établissant des parallèles avec celui du gros plan au cinéma. Deux genres de films illustrent notre propos: d’abord, les films qui puisent leur inspiration de la tragédie grecque classique ( Oedipe Roi, Iphigénie ): puis, ceux qui ont recours à des archétypes tragiques ( La Passion de Jeanne d’Arc, Les Quatre Cents Coups, Le Septième Sceau et La Reine Christine ). Notre but n’est pas démontrer un lien direct entre le théâtre antique et le cinéma moderne: ce serait d’ailleurs impossible vu les trop nombreuses différences entre ces deux formes d’art. Toutefois, l’étude des gros plans cinématographiques et de l’implication émotive qu’ils impliquent de la part du spectateur permet de mieux comprendre l’emploi des masques tragiques.

Les fouilles menées entre 1999 et 2002 à Stymphale ont permis de dégager plusieurs structures dont un édifice de scène situé au sud des gradins creusés dans le roc de l’acropole (longueur: 25 m.). Dans le secteur sud-ouest, nous avons poursuivi les fouilles de deux villas romaines détruites par un tremblement de terre au I er siècle apr. J.-C. dont les murs présentent encore de nombreuses traces de peinture et de décorations en plâtre. On y a aussi trouvé plus de trente bosses de bronze provenant sans aucun doute d’une porte de bois. Ailleurs, ont été exhumées des tombes de chiens de l’époque hellénistique ainsi que des sépultures chrétiennes primitives. Parmi les autres découvertes de ce site, on compte un important propylée, les vestiges de ce qui pourrait être une boutique, l’entrée monumentale d’une palestre, les portes Phlious et Pheneos, des sections des murailles et enfin des structures non encore identifiées sur l’acropole.
Callippus
Authors: Sanders L.J.
Published: October 2015

L’image que se font les savants du personnage de Callippe, l’assassin de Dion, est foncièrement négative. En effet, on le dépeint comme un opportuniste, un intrigant malveillant dont les idées philosophiques et politiques n’ont aucune crédibilité au yeux des Modernes. Néanmoins, on oublie trop souvent que Callippe, démocrate irréprochable, comptait parmi les partisans les plus fidèles de Dion. S’il a tué celui-ci. c’est parce que Dion avait trahi le but de l’expédition, libérer les villes siciliotes de la domination dionysienne et y imposer des régimes démocratiques.
Assuming the Master’s Values: The Slave’s Response to Punishment and Neglect in Menander
Authors: Cox Cheryl
Published: October 2015

Le corps d’un esclave appartenait à son maître: cette propriété ne peut être mieux illustrée que par le droit dont jouissait le maître de punir son esclave comme il l’entendait. Une étude de Ménandre et des fragments de la Nouvelle Comédie montre que ces punitions pouvaient prendre la forme de coups de fouet, de taloches et d’actes de négligence comme la privation de nourriture. L’esclave prenait sa revanche en se moquant des valeurs de son maître dont il était devenu le confident. Lorsqu’au contraire, il compatissait avec son maître et faisait siennes ses valeurs, c’était dans l’espoir d’obtenir, sinon la liberté, du moins une certaine autonomie.
Aristoxenos, Περί βίων and Peripatetic Biography
Authors: Cooper Craig
Published: October 2015

Étude des élèments constitutifs du genre biographique et de ses liens avec Aristoxenos et les œuvres des péripatéticiens intitulées Vies (ou Types de vie ?). Nous concluons que la biographie était, pendant l’Antiquité, une vaste souscatégorie de l’historiographie et qu’elle pouvait alors couvrir tout récit de vie — celle d’un personage, d’une cité. d’une nation, de leurs origines à leur fin. La manière d’écrire une biographie, les éléments qui y figuraient ne préoccupaient pas les Anciens, pas plus qu’ils ne se souciaient de sa ressemblance avec d’autres formes d’historiographie. En fait, tout récit de vie pouvait figurer parmi cette vaste sous-catégorie de l’historiographie appelée Bioi. Par conséquent, une æuvre que les Modernes ne compteraient pas parmi les véritables biographies aurait été perçue comme telle par les lecteurs de l’Antiquité.

Winter Warfare in Antiquity: Image and Reality
Authors: Epplett Chris
Published: October 2015

Les armées de l’antiquité ont le point commun de ne faire la guerre en hiver qu’à contrecoeur. Cette réticence tient certes aux conditions climatiques, mais elle procède plus encore des graves problèmes logistiques liés aux campagnes d’hiver. A l’évidence cependant, malgré ces difficultés, les armées grecques et romaines combattaient parfois en hiver. De plus, la capacité des généraux de mener à bien des campagnes militaires dans ces conditions, qu’elle ait été réelle ou non, fut souvent soulignée, au point qu’elle devint un lieu commun du panégyrique antique.
“Goodbye to All That”: Propertius’ magnum iter between Elegies 3.16 and 3.21
Authors: Clarke Jacqueline
Published: October 2015

Cet article traite de la façon dont Properce, dans son troisième livre d’élégies, fait prendre conscience au lecteur de son désengagement graduel de Cynthia et réussit la transition à d’autres formes de poésie. Il présente l’argument selon lequel les transitions sont effectuées principalement entre les élégies 3.16 et 3.21, un groupe de poèmes dans lequel Properce utilise de diverses façons les topos du voyage pour signaler l’évolution de son intention poétique. On y démontre que ces poèmes sont organisés stratégiquement pour mener au grand voyage (magnum iter) de Properce (3.21) vers l’érudite Athènes.
En quête d’un réel linguistique, ou la construction des langues anciennes par la tradition philologique
Authors: Hummel Pascale
Published: October 2015

Philology constitutes a major part of the history of the tradition, just as the tradition is substantially defined by its philological character. Philology and the tradition—and both together, through the philological tradition—assure the transmission of previously constituted knowledges, at the same time as they interrogate all their details. The structural discrepancy that diachrony introduces constitutes languages that have become ancient (i.e., dead) as objects. This study analyzes how philological reality (by nature epistemologica! and historiographical) takes account of the linguistic reality of the languages in question, and defines the nature of this reality.
Forensic Evidence in Euripides’ Hippolytus
Authors: Mirhady David C.
Published: October 2015

Étude systématique des stratégies de persuasion qu’emploie Euripide dans Hippolyte mises en paralléle avec les témoignages des tribunaux d’Athènes et les atechnoi pisteis d’Aristote. On peut déceler deux sources d’influence sur Euripide: d’abord, la continuité de la tradition à Athènes, qui indique une cohèrence des idées au sujet du témoignage légal pendant les V c et IV c siècles; puis, le fait que les rhétoriciens aient continué à concentrer leur attention sur les applications légales. De toutes les tragédies athéniennes, l’ Hippolyte permet d’établir la meilleure comparaison avec les traitements techniques, avec les règles de procédure légale à Athènes et avec les pratiques oratoires attiques par rapport aux lois, aux dépositions des témoins, au témoignages des esclaves soumis a la question, et enfin aux serments.

Homère au prisme de ses relecteurs: Le motif de la Nekuia
Authors: Krück Marie-Pierre
Published: October 2015

The purpose of this article is to make a parallel analysis of two methods of rereading—imitation and commentary—starting from the motif of the descent to the Underworld. The texts examined comprise, on the one hand, Odysseus’ nekuia , Aeneas’ descensus Averno , and the Underworld descent of Fénelon’s Télémaque , on the other fr. 70 of Heraclitus. the De Homero of ps.-Plutarch, and the commentary of the humanist Jean Dorat in his Mythologicum. The goal is not to renew the interpretation of a particular work but rather to grasp, in its extension through time, the journey of a motif that seems to us to illustrate the difficult passage from a mythical idea to a rational one.
Heinrich Schliemann in Canada

Le séjour de Schliemann au Canada après son périple en Orient n’a pas retenu l’attention de ses contemporains, lesquels auraient sans aucun doute perçu cette visite comme un détail mineur dans une carrière déjà brillante. Le récit de ce voyage serait donc resté caché dans les pages de son journal, lui-même enfoui dans les archives. Or. une étude de ce récit révèle que ce séjour revêtit une importance insoupçonnée. Ce serait un incident survenu au cours de ce voyage qui aurait lancé Schliemann dans une nouvelle carrière qui fit de lui le plus célèbre des archéologues.
Divine Madness and Human Sanity in Plato’s Phaedrus
Authors: Harris John P.
Published: October 2015

Loin d’être un désaveu complet de sa position antérieure sur la nature de la folie, la palinodie de Socrate en distingue soigneusement les différentes sources, humaine et divine. L’opinion personnelle de Socrate est que, si la folie était simple, unitaire et indivisible, les deux discours seraient bien articulés. Or, non seulement la mania s’avère double, mais son aspect divin est à l’origine de nos plus grands avantages. Bref, « la folie divine » et la « folie humaine », sont les deux ϲôtés d’une médaille ou plutôt, pour reprendre la métaphore de Socrate, deux membres d’un même corps.
Les Sandales D’Hermès, II. Les Σάνδαλα Végétales et le Voyage D’Hermès ( HhHermès 79–139)
Authors: Cursaru Gabriela
Published: October 2015

The objective of this paper is to show that Hermes’ journey from Pieria to the Alpheus river was composed as a journey towards the beyond or, at least, that it borrows motifs from literary accounts of heroic and divine catabaseis . This reading of the text is the starting point for a new interpretation of the function and meanings of the σάνδαλα invented by Hermes, and the evidence they contribute with regard to the symbolism of footwear, especially compared to the πέδιλα of Homer’s Hermes.
Hecuba and the Performance of Lament on the Epic Stage (Ovid, Met . 13.399–575)
Authors: Westerhold Jessica
Published: October 2015

This article explores the anxieties over poetic authority and epic memory articulated in Ovid’s Metamorphoses 13.399–575. Ovid closely follows the story of Hecuba after the fall of Troy as it was told in Euripides’ Hecuba . Although his source model is primarily tragic, Ovid’s version dramatizes the function of epic composition, the creation of epic fama . While Achilles and Polyxena struggle to control their mythological memory in Ovid’s epic, Ovid plays with generic expectations. As is fitting for Ovid’s epic of “changing forms,” Hecuba’s epic and tragic traditions are transformed into a uniquely Ovidian reinterpretation of the sack of Troy.

Cet article examine les inquiétudes concernant l’autorité poétique et la mémoire épique exprimées dans les Métamorphoses d’Ovide XIII, 399–575. Ovide suit de près l’histoire d’Hécube après la chute de Troie, telle que racontée dans l’ Hécube d ’Euripide. Bien que le modèle de sa source soit essentiellement tragique, la version d’Ovide met toutefois en scène la fonction de la composition épique, la création d’une fama épique. Lorsqu’ Achille et Polyxène luttent pour contrôler leur mémoire mythologique dans l’épopée d’Ovide, le poète joue avec les attentes génériques. Comme il convient à l’épopée d’Ovide « sur les changements de forme », les traditions épiques et tragiques sur Hécube sont transformées en une réinterprétation purement ovidienne de la prise de Troie.
“Straight from the Horse’s Mouth”: Arion in Silvae 1.1
Authors: Newlands Carole
Published: October 2015

Although the reference to the horse Arion at the centre of Silvae 1.1, the encomiastic poem on Domitian’s equestrian statue, is brief (52–55), it nevertheless opens up different ways of reading the poem generically and politically. Arion played a significant role in the Thebaid as king Adrastus’ horse; in Silvae 1.1, Arion’s imagined reaction to Domitian’s equestrian statue offers an interpretive crux in the encomium. Through allusion to his own epic, Statius suggests a possible method of reading the first of his Silvae as a critical complement to his epic in contemporary Rome.

Bien que la référence au cheval Arion au centre des Silves 1, 1 – le poème en l’honneur de la statue équestre de Domitien – soit brève (52–55), elle ouvre néanmoins différentes pistes pour une lecture générique et politique du poème. Arion joue un rôle significatif dans la Thébaïde , en tant que cheval du roi Adraste ; dans les Silves 1, 1, la réaction imaginée d’Arion devant la statue équestre de Domitien offre une clé d’interprétation de l’éloge. Par cette allusion à sa propre épopée, Stace suggère une possible lecture du premier de ses Silves comme un complément critique à son épopée dans la Rome contemporaine.

The University of British Columbia’s Museum of Anthropology possesses a fifth-century bc Athenian white-ground lekythos , which has not, until now, received the scholarly attention it deserves. The scene on the lekythos depicts an unusual funerary offering, unprecedented in white-ground decoration. The colour scheme and iconography allude to the style of the famed Achilles Painter of the late fifth-century bc , but this attribution presents problems. This article examines the question of, and the evidence surrounding, the attribution of this lekythos with the aim of proving that this piece, regardless of whether it is ascribed to the fifth-century master, is a unique example in the corpus of white-ground lekythoi and a significant contribution to scholarship.

Le Musée d’anthropologie de l’Université de la Colombie-Britannique possède un lécythe athénien à fond blanc du V e siècle avant J. C., qui, jusqu’à présent, n’avait pas reçu de la part des chercheurs l’attention qu’il méritait. La scène représentée sur le lécythe dépeint une offrande funéraire inhabituelle, sans précédent dans la décoration à fond blanc. Le modèle de couleur et d’iconographie évoque le style du célèbre Peintre d’Achille de la fin du V e siècle avant J. C., mais cette attribution pose problème. Cet article examine la question de, et les éléments de preuve concernant, l’attribution de ce lécythe, dans le but de prouver que cette pièce, quoi qu’il en soit de son assignation au maître du V e siècle, est un exemplaire unique dans le corpus des lécythes à fond blanc et une contribution significative à la recherche.
La présence de la Grande Guerre dans les discours: persistance d’une « asymétrie » de la mémoire franco-allemande?
Authors: Sangar Eric
Published: October 2015

Malgré une multiplication de gestes de commémoration commune, de nombreuses études constatent des différences profondes du rôle de la Première Guerre mondiale dans la mémoire collective de l’Allemagne et de la France. S’appuyant sur Halbwachs qui perçoit la mémoire collective comme résultat des processus de communication permanents entre les membres d’une communauté, cette contribution vise à examiner l’hypothèse initiale à travers une analyse corpus-linguistique d’un recueil exhaustif d’articles de presse français et allemands au sujet de la crise au Kosovo. L’analyse empirique révèle qu’en Allemagne comme en France, les usages discursifs de la Grande Guerre sont moins nombreux que ceux de la Seconde Guerre mondiale. De plus, la Guerre de 14-18 est surtout utilisée par les experts et les journalistes pour expliquer les origines historiques de la crise. En revanche, contrairement aux propositions des études mémorielles existantes, dans les deux pays les décideurs politiques n’ont pas recours à la Grande Guerre pour justifier un devoir moral historique légitimant l’intervention militaire au Kosovo. « L’asymétrie » franco-allemande de la mémoire de la Grande Guerre est-elle donc en train de disparaître ?
Good governance and local autonomy in the Kingdom of the Netherlands in Europe and the Caribbean: An uneasy relationship
Authors: Woldendorp Jaap
Published: October 2015

Having a specific ministry for overseas territories is the outcome of Dutch and Caribbean (post) colonial history. The Kingdom of The Netherlands as of 2010 consists of four autonomous countries. The Netherlands in Europe, and Aruba, Curaçao and St. Maarten in the Caribbean. The government of The Netherlands in Europe also governs three special public entities resembling municipalities in the Caribbean: Bonaire, St. Eustatius and Saba (BES-islands). The recent changes in the constitutional relations between The Netherlands in Europe and its Caribbean counterparts can be explained by two factors. On the one hand the resourceful and successful resistance of both the local political elites as well as the local populations against Dutch decolonisation efforts in the 1970s and 1980s. On the other hand the responsibility felt by the former colonial power for the detrimental effects of the lack of good governance in the overseas territories under the previous constitutional arrangements, caused by clientelism, corruption and the encroachment of international organized crime on the local administrations. Consequently, direct Dutch involvement in local Caribbean politics and administrations with good governance programs has significantly increased since the 1990s.
From OER to MOO Cs: Critical perspectives on the historical mediation trajectories of open education
Authors: Alevizou Giota
Published: October 2015

This article considers the intersections between digital and open education to explore how openness, as a value and currency, has conditioned the mediation trajectories of pedagogical knowledge domains and communicative learning spaces. Drawing on critical political economy and deploying a discourse analytic approach, it traces the dimensions of openness as a techno-cultural frame and socio-economic structure conditioning policies and genres stemming from the Open Education Resource (OER) movement in the early 2000s and through the influx of Massive Open Online Coursese (MOOCs). When a practice such as Open Education simultaneously challenges and enhances educational institutions’ concentration of symbolic resources, analysing the wider consequences for society may be difficult. Yet several dimensions and paradoxes can be addressed through correlating a number of contingent factors: the development of settings for the increasing mediatization of pedagogical knowledge other than those traditionally anchored to distance and open education; the many interlocking technological, social and political processes that have created new contexts for cultural production; new circuits for facilitating alternative and cultural pedagogies; and the institutional instrumentalization of openness in neo-liberal restructuring of higher education.

‘Sí valgo, yo valgo seguro’ Spain’s new peripheral female subjects in Yo soy la Juani
Authors: Loxham Abigail
Published: October 2015

Despite his mainstream success and prolific production, in all his films Bigas Luna demonstrates a preference for the peripheral and the marginal – in terms of the subjects he depicts as well as through his representational practices. In this article I investigate the new peripheral subjects in his 2006 film Yo soy la Juani/My Name is Juani: young women on the cusp of adulthood, at the margins of Spain (Tarragona) and the edges of mainstream culture. I argue that Bigas Luna’s resistance to hegemonic power structures and his marginal politics face a new challenge in the twenty-first century as the mediatized and pervasive culture of celebrity alters our reading of his female star, Verónica Echegui, and his relationship with her. Bigas attempts in this film to present a specific version of Spanish femininity as a point of resistance to a manufactured female subjectivity yet he also imitates it and shows that these young female characters are in thrall to the culture that he claims to resist. As the film negotiates a tricky path between these media discourses and the images of resistance in the film itself the end result is an ambiguous text that neither resists nor entirely complies with a culture that commodifies the bodies and aspirations of its peripheral female stars.

Resumo Considerando as escolas de arquitectura enquanto concretização do projecto pedagógico em vivência, pretende-se incidir sobre o peso da memória e a acumulação de testemunhos de tempos históricos nas arquitecturas da aprendizagem, numa reflexão sobre o uso clássico, operativo ou prospectivo da história, nas escolas de arquitectura. Para uma interpretação holística dos significados das escolas será feita uma abordagem aos edifícios em íntima relação com o projecto pedagógico e com o contexto urbano. Pelo que a reflexão focará três níveis, num triângulo Pedagogia/Arquitectura/Cidade. Cada nível será explorado a partir de escolas inseridas numa perspectiva temporal alargada, de diferentes contextos e lugares, e cujas circunstâncias permitam clarificar posições perante a perpetuação da memória e/ou o desejo pela inovação. Pretende-se por fim apresentar níveis de convergência e divergência presentes no binómio memória/inovação para as arquitecturas da aprendizagem, explorando casos de estudo paradigmáticos e idiossincráticos de cada foco de abordagem. Assim, argumenta-se que a acepção da memória, para as escolas de arquitectura como instituição, pode ser coincidente ou dissonante entre as aprendizagens de arquitectura sob a forma de projecto pedagógico, e as arquitecturas da aprendizagem sob a forma de objecto edificado. Abstract Considering schools of architecture as the completion of the pedagogical project in a real physical scenario, this paper will address the weight of memory and the evidence of historical times in architecture schools, while reflecting on the classic, operative or prospective use of history. For a holistic approach to these schools this analysis will focus on the building itself in its relationship with the pedagogical project and the urban context. Hence, this analysis will have three levels of approach, in a triangle: Pedagogy/Architecture/City. Each level will focus on examples of schools, through an enlarged temporal perspective, from different backgrounds and places, whose circumstances would clarify the decision of perpetuating the memory and/or the yearning for innovation. Finally, this paper will provide levels of agreement and dissonance in the dichotomy between memory and innovation for architecture schools, by exploring paradigmatic and idiosyncratic case studies of each level of approach. Thus, it is argued that the approach on memory for the architecture schools as institutions can coincide or differ from the architecture learning processes in the form of their pedagogical project, and the architecture built schools in the form of their built object.
Pedagogia do Projecto
Authors: Bandeirinha José António
Published: October 2015

Dos objectivos pedagógicos do ensino da Arquitectura destaca-se um desenvolvimento da capacidade instrumental dos alunos para o exercício do projecto. Mas o projecto aqui enunciado não é uma entidade em si mesma, não existe sem a corporização que lhe é dada, em primeira análise, pelas condições da encomenda — programa, contexto, valor — e, num segundo momento, pela concretização arquitectónica das soluções, cujo principal objectivo é, por estranho que pareça, extinguir esse mesmo projecto, transformando-o em obra. E é, precisamente, à luz desta condição etérea e parasitante do projecto que podem ser colocadas algumas das mais relevantes questões que se lhe põem, na actualidade.   ABSTRACT Given pedagogical scopes of architectural teaching, we can stand out the ability to design practise, in particular for architectural project. But this project we’re writing about should not be considered as an entity in itself. It doesn’t exist without its inherent materialization, given by contextual conditions — order, function, budget — in first place, and, in second place and oddly enough, it doesn’t exist without being extinguished by its transformation in built reality. It’s precisely on behalf of this strange conditions of design practises that we can point some of the most relevant matters on which it lay, today.
