Bamse and the Legitimacy of the State
Authors: Larsson Simon
Published: November 2022

This article aims to explore inherent power dimensions in the Swedish children’s comic book Bamse. While previous scholars have noted the ideological aspects of the series, (and placed these in a context of the Swedish welfare state), this article offers an analysis of the power structures in the narratives from an institutional perspective. I argue that the functions of the main characters in their hometown correspond to important functions of the Swedish welfare state.Furthermore, I argue that the functions of the main characters as they are represented in their different journeys to remote places correspond to functions of a colonial state. While also stressing the differences between these two contexts in this article, I suggest that as an allegory, the characters are relationally organised through shared underlying ideals; these being an understanding that it is possible to identify general human needs from an ideological standpoint, as well as a practice of solving certain problems through technocratic means.
Language Didactics Dissertations in Sweden 2000 – 2009: A Research Survey
Authors: Tholin Jörgen
Published: November 2022

This article surveys doctoral dissertations in language education written in Sweden over the ten years from 2000 to 2009. The survey concentrates on foreign languages. 23 dissertations are studied, 12 dealing with English, five with French, two with German, one with Spanish, one with Italian, and two with no specific language. Eighteen of the dissertations principally deal with years seven to nine of primary/lower-secondary school and with upper-secondary school, two deal with language studies at university level, and one deals with upper-secondary school and university. The article ends with a short follow-up on the researchers surveyed and the research they have conducted since writing their dissertations.

The contents of the dissertations allow six overall research themes to be discerned: The concept of culture, Assessment of students’ oral and written proficiencies, Error analysis and transfer, English outside the English classroom, The professional practice of teachers and Language acquisition.

Transgenerational and Intergenerational Family Trauma in Colm Tóibín’s The Blackwater Lightship and “Three Friends”
Authors: Yebra Jose M.
Published: November 2022

This article analyses Colm Tóibín's The Blackwater Lightship (1999) and his short story "Three Friends" (2006), which are the testimony of the changes affecting current Ireland, especially those concerning the roles and engagement between females and gays. Drawing on Abraham and Torok's The Shell and the Kernel (1994), my main contention is that Tóibín's texts explore the trans-generational transmission of trauma and memory in an Irish context. Also Grabriele Schwab's Haunting legacies (2010), which explains the transference and haunting of trauma from both Holocaust victims and perpetrators to their descendants, will give a fuller understanding of The Blackwater Lightship and "Three Friends". I will demonstrate that different generations of Irish women, or Irish women and their (gay) sons hurt one another, being both victims and perpetrators. This paper also analyses the effectiveness of the language of trans/inter-generational memory and conflict, especially when paradoxically transmitted through strategic silences and meaningful gaps. Thus, Tóibín's texts look at the past and how it is codified and transmitted at a family level to eventually herald a message of renewal.

Ante los restos del multiculturalismo (o la literatura transnacional en alemán hoy)
Authors: Pereyra Soledad
Published: November 2022

El presente artículo propone una serie de reflexiones en torno a la literatura transnacional en alemán y a sus relaciones con el multiculturalismo y el canon literario nacional en el que aparentemente se integra. Asimismo, se presenta un breve desarrollo sobre los derroteros y paso a la institucionalización de la literatura transnacional escrita en alemán, junto con algunos fragmentos de obras del corpus transnacional que exponen las tensiones y lugar de enunciación disgregado que estos textos literarios mismos poseen frente al contexto político, cultural y social que les da origen y los celebra. A partir de las consideraciones hechas por Walter Benjamin sobre la violencia de origen de toda forma de representación pretendida por el lenguaje y del concepto de suplemento de Derrida, se discute y se plantean preguntas sobre los vínculos y posicionamientos de las minorías asociadas a la migración y la literatura transnacional en alemán con respecto a un centro o hegemonía, constituido por la literatura alemana canónica, la crítica literaria y el Estado multicultural alemán.
“What was a Family?”: Politics and Sexuality in Colm Tóibín’s The Heather Blazing
Authors: Carregal-Romero Jose
Published: November 2022

Published in the context of the legal reformations and the public debates about the separation between Church and State in the early 1990s Ireland, Colm Tóibín’s The Heather Blazing (1992) centers round the personal and professional life of Eamon Redmond, a conservative judge in a changing society. This essay will focus on an episode where a pregnant schoolgirl denounces her Catholic school authorities for their decision to expel her. My analysis will also draw on the unpublished version of the same episode, which features the actual case of Eileen Flynn, a teacher who was dismissed because she was an unmarried mother living with her baby’s father, a married man himself. Significantly, whereas in the earlier version Tóibín engages with the issue of divorce, in the published text he further develops his criticism over society’s punitive treatment of unmarried mothers. As will be argued, while exploring the tensions between the personal and the political, Tóibín offers in The Heather Blazing a subversive rewriting of the centrality of the Catholic family as a unit of social cohesion and control in Ireland. This essay will also situate Tóibín’s novel through his journalism, as well as through an account of the shifting sexual, social and religious realities and pressures of twentieth century Ireland.
Literatura à mão: os serões do convento literature for the hand: os serões do convento
Authors: Maia Helder , Lugarinho Mário , Curopos Fernando
Published: November 2022

In this text, based on the analysis of Os serões do Convento (1862), the concept of literature for the hand is introduced to discuss the pornographic literature that circulated between Brazil and Portugal. For that, the language, the place of the work in the Brazilian and Portuguese literary historiographies and LGBT, its anticlericalism, its intertextualities, the resonances of the book in other literary texts and its problematic authorship are analyzed. Also, the anticlericalism, the intertextuality, its resonances in other literary texts are indicated and its questionable authorship. Finally, we discuss too, the role of literary criticism in the approach of texts whose characters escape the paradigms of heteronormativity and cisgenerity.
La lesbienne fin-de-siècle : une fiction portugaise
Authors: Curopos Fernando
Published: November 2022

The figure of the lesbian has haunted erotic and pornographic literature long before homosexuality was ‘‘invented’’ (Foucault) by psychiatric medicine in the third quarter of the nineteenth century.This paper deals with the representation of the “lesbian” in Portuguese fin-de-siècle literature. Those lesbians, created by and intended for a male audience, are the result and the product of a ‘‘straight mind’’ (Wittig) that fantasizes the relations between women while obliterating reality: the possibility of a true love between women. Nevertheless, at the turn of the century, some of them will come out the closet, more or less forced, giving a ‘‘face’’ to the invisible Portuguese lesbian.
Heterogeneity and self-referentiality in Things Fall Apart’s proverbs
Authors: Lombardo Andrea Laura
Published: November 2022

This article aims to provide a revisiting of the novel Things Fall Apart (1958) by the Nigerian essayist and writer Chinua Achebe (1930-2013) as regards the established notion in postcolonial studies which claims that African literature solely writes back to the western paradigm. The central thesis of this paper is that Achebe’s seminal first novel exhibits self-referential moments as do metafictional texts of the 1990s (Mwangi, 2009) to particularly focus on local nuances as well as colonial criticism. This self-reflexive technique foregrounds aspects of content and form that are especially evident in the use of proverbs. In this sense, we attempt to assess the significance of the internal heteroglossia staged in proverbs which venture unexplored thresholds between the “self” and the “other” and enact a new aesthetics characterized by the umbrella of minor literatures (Deleuze and Guattari [1975] 1986; Bensmaïa, 2017). Proverbs as locus of such hybridization (Bhabha, 1994) and heterogeneity grant a space for the “other” in the Anglophone narrative and also allow the deconstruction of the notion of “other” for African purposes. In a complementary fashion, our concern will be to explore how this heterogeneity is reproduced in the three Spanish translations done by Jorge Sarrió (1966), Fernando Santos (1986) and José Manuel Álvarez Flórez (1997), all of them published in Spain. Accordingly, we approach the analysis of interlingual heterogeneity (Spoturno, 2010) founded on an operation of deterritorialization (Deleuze and Guattari, [1975] 1986) by comparing how the Spanish translators have rendered these configurations of heterogeneity and hybridity present in the original proverbs into the translated texts and, at the same time, by accounting for the strategies used for their recreation (Bandia, 2006; Tymoczko, 1999; Murphy, 2010).
Evaluating a high-stakes EFL speaking test: Teachers’ practices and views
Authors: Borger Linda
Published: November 2022

In the present paper, teachers’ implementation practices and views of practicality regarding a paired speaking test, part of a high-stakes national test of English as a foreign language (EFL) in the Swedish upper secondary school, were investigated. In Sweden, national tests are centrally developed but internally marked by teachers at the schools where they are administered. Two-hundred and sixty-seven teachers participated in a nation-wide online survey and answered closed and open-ended questions. The responses reflect how teachers implement and perceive the national speaking test in relation to purposes and guidelines. Furthermore, challenges relating to the implementation were also reported. The results showed that there were variations in how the national speaking test was implemented at the local school level. This has clear implications for standardisation, but must be considered in relation to the decentralised school system that the test is embedded in, which requires local decisions to be made and local responsibility to be taken. In addition, many teachers perceived that they did not receive enough support from the school management, indicating that clearer routines and administrative support are needed. Statistical tests were undertaken to explore potential differences related to certain background variables. It was found that school size accounted for some of the variation in teachers’ responses, with teachers at smaller schools perceiving the practical implementation of the oral tests to be more problematic and time-consuming. The paper concludes with a discussion of the implications of the findings for the practice of high-stakes speaking assessment programs, focusing on the educational context of the current investigation.
Ambigüedad en el deber de memoria o el duro trabajo de olvidar: La casa de los Conejos, de Laura Alcoba
Authors: Pageau Christian
Published: November 2022

El objetivo del trabajo concierne al estudio del libro La casa de los conejos de Laura Alcoba. Partimos de la hipótesis según la cual la paradoja misma que envuelve al nudo olvido-memoria actúa como una fuerza narrativa y confiere a la historia, mediante un juego de ambigüedades estructurales y temáticas, el potencial de reavivar las promesas incumplidas del pasado. Esta fuerza narrativa se estructura mediante una fusión de géneros literarios, habilitando varios pactos de lecturas como el de la autoficción, los cuentos de guerra o la escritura del cuerpo. Las ambigüedades están anunciadas y presentes en el prólogo. Proponemos que en el contexto de la recuperación de una memoria familiar traumática, el perdón requiere un don, es decir, aceptar que haya pérdidas. A modo de final abierto, presentamos un breve análisis del espacio que problematiza la cuestión del pasado como lugar.
O Judeu, de Bernardo Santareno y El sueño de la razón, de Antonio Buero Vallejo: dos diferentes estrategias creativas ante la censura
Authors: Cavaliere Mauro
Published: November 2022

It is plausible that the Portuguese playwright Bernardo Santareno and his Spanish counterpart Antonio Buero Vallejo represent two different - or even opposite - attitudes regarding the censorship of the Portuguese and Spanish regimes in the 1960s. Two texts are analyzed in this article: Santareno’s O Judeu and Buero Vallejo‘s El sueño de la razón , which have been chosen because of the contrast between analogies and divergences that arise when evaluating the historical period represented in the two dramas.

From the methodological point of view, I will approach the textual aspect of the two dramas in order to highlight the analogies and, above all, the semantic-syntactic differences between them, later I will try to highlight the cultural political context that might have conditioned the different aesthetic options of the two writers.
The need to supplement written grammar feedback: A case study from English teacher education
Authors: Cabot Michel , Kaldestad Arne
Published: November 2022

The value of oral corrective feedback for the development of metalinguistic knowledge has been acknowledged in the research literature for decades. Yet, teachers in second language teacher education programmes still tend to provide written feedback almost exclusively, leaving untapped potential for successful formative assessment. This study aims to investigate the potential complementarity of written and oral feedback through a qualitative case study of one teacher educator’s grammar feedback practices in English as a second language. Eighteen student teachers at a Norwegian university college received individual written and oral corrective feedback on their essays. The provided feedback was analysed using Ellis’s (2009) and Lyster and Ranta’s (1997) taxonomies. Inter- and intra-rater reliability tests confirmed the findings. The analysis shows that written and oral feedback fulfil different functions and have complementary roles. The described case may function as an inspiring example of exemplary practice for teacher educators and language teachers.
„Gestehstu zu, daß dein Geist den du beÿ dier gehabt, Hensel geheißen...“: Teufelsbuhlschaft in frühneuzeitlichen Hexenverhörprotokollen aus Grünberg in Niederschlesien
Authors: Dąbrowska-Burkhardt Jarochna
Published: November 2022

Im Zentrum dieses kulturlinguistisch sprachhistorischen Beitrags stehen Aspekte, die Einblicke in die Versprachlichung der Beziehung von den Konzepten `Hexe´ und `Teufel´ gewähren. Speziell handelt es sich um die Darstellung des Teufelspakts bzw. der Teufelsbuhlschaft, die mit der Beschreibung des Aussehens, der Aktivitäten und der Bezeichnungen von den am Pakt Beteiligten einhergehen.Das Untersuchungskorpus des Beitrags stellt eine Protokollabschrift aus Grünberg in Niederschlesien dar. Die Abschrift wurde 1665 vom Grünberger Stadtschreiber angefertigt und trägt den Titel: „Extract: Protocolli Judicÿ Grünbergensis ex actis Inqvisitionaliby Proccesii criminali contra Maleficas de annis 1663. 1664. 1665.“ Die Analyse soll veranschaulichen, auf welche Art und Weise in den Grünberger Akten das Phänomen der Teufelsbuhlschaft zum Ausdruck gebracht wird.
“Che cos’è? Va e de”? Domande, risposte e commutazione di codice in due classi svedesi di italiano L2/LS
Authors: Carlén Caroline , Pauletto Franco
Published: November 2022

This conversation-analytic study investigates the use of code switching (henceforth CS) in three Italian L2 classrooms in Sweden. Specifically, when and why do teachers code switch in their questions? Is the language choice pedagogically motivated? Does the teachers’ language choice have an influence over the students’ language choice in their answers? The data were collected from three beginner-level Italian lessons in two Swedish High Schools. Transcripts of questions in which CS occurred were analyzed using a conversation analytic approach with a focus on sequentiality in relation to the organization of turn allocation, to understand when and why the CS occurs in both questions and answers. In our data teachers use CS when posing questions to the class in two major occasions, namely when the question is followed by a significant silence but also when no discernible silence follows a question. Furthermore, regardless of the language used by the teacher, the students answer in Italian when the questions are task-based, and in Swedish when the questions are off-task.
The edition of Argentine children's and youth literature through university publishing press
Authors: Mihal Ivana , García Laura
Published: November 2022

¿Por qué indagar en la relación entre literatura infantil y juvenil (LIJ) y editoriales?; ¿cómo se vincula la LIJ en los tramados institucionales de la edición universitaria? La LIJ es un campo cuyo desarrollo en Argentina tiene una importante tradición a partir de la existencia de un conjunto de actores y la incidencia del mundo editorial –desde la escritura, la ilustración, los intermediarios de la lectura, las políticas de lectura, entre otros–. Ahora bien, aun constituye un tema muy poco explorado el abordaje de la LIJ desde el estudio de las editoriales. Entendemos que en los últimos años la incorporación de colecciones destinadas al público infanto-juvenil en sellos universitarios como EDUVIM y Ediciones UNL contribuyó a resaltar la relevancia que esta zona de la literatura adquirió en el campo editorial. Por eso, nos proponemos reponer la relación entre el campo de la LIJ y el mercado editorial para reconstruir el proceso por el cual las editoriales universitarias se posicionaron como mediadoras de los bienes culturales y simbólicos que el campo de la LIJ puso a disposición de su público.
La heterogeneidad interlingüe en Half of a Yellow Sun de Chimamanda N. Adichie y su traducción al español
Authors: Lombardo Andrea Laura
Published: November 2022

En este trabajo nos proponemos explorar las huellas de la heterogeneidad interlingüe (Spoturno, [2010] 2014) que surgen de la novela Half of a Yellow Sun (2006) de la escritora nigeriana Chimamanda N. Adichie (1977—). En este sentido, nuestro análisis intentará dar cuenta de las características híbridas, interlingües e interculturales (Ashcroft et al., [1989] 2002; Tymoczko, 1999) que se manifiestan en el texto original a partir de las marcas de la heterogeneidad como expresión de la estrategia enunciativa-discursiva del ethos del Autor (Amossy 1999, 2009) y de la operación de desterritorialización de la lengua (Deleuze y Guattari, [1975] 1978). A tal fin, el trabajo indaga acerca de la construcción de la heterogeneidad interlingüe (Spoturno, [2010] 2014) en el discurso original en lengua inglesa y en la versión española de la obra realizada por la traductora Laura Rins Calahorra (2014). Más específicamente, nos interesa establecer la naturaleza de la presencia discursiva del Traductor como estrategia textual (Hermans, 1996; Schiavi, 1996) en relación con la (re)configuración del ethos del Autor (Suchet, 2013; Spoturno, 2017). Finalmente, con el propósito de analizar la heterogeneidad interlingüe (principalmente en los casos de traducción yuxtapuesta, las glosas de especificación del sentido y en el uso de los proverbios) y evaluar la manera en que la Traductora traslada estas marcas de multilingüismo cultural al español, examinamos si las elecciones traductológicas de la Traductora tienden a la homogeneización o a la heterogeneidad del texto original (Berman, 1985; Bandia, 2006; Rodríguez Murphy, 2010).
Cuerpo, ideología y narrativa publicitaria: Contexto, dialéctica del sentido y riesgo interpretativo
Authors: Finol José Enrique , Cuevas-Calderón Elder
Published: November 2022

El presente trabajo analiza desde un punto de vista semiótico algunas representaciones del cuerpo en la publicidad oblicua, y las relaciona con la representación del producto anunciado. Para situar el análisis se proponen cuatro escenarios de realización corporal y se los relaciona con la narratividad en el discurso publicitario, así como con las funciones del lenguaje (Jakobson 1988). Luego se presentan las cuatro ideologías propuestas por Floch (1993), las cuales sirven de marco para el análisis de dos anuncios. Finalmente se propone el concepto de riesgo interpretativo en el marco de las funciones dialécticas que cumplen los contextos en los textos publicitarios analizados.
El uso del complemento posesivo verbal por el complemento de régimen preposicional en español actual
Authors: Casanova Vanessa
Published: November 2022

En este trabajo se estudia el comportamiento de las formas plenas de los posesivos (mío, tuyo, suyo) que en el español rioplatense y venezolano alternan con argumentos verbales preposicionales (se acuerda de mí ~ se acuerda mío). A partir de una muestra de 1173 verbos, se identificaron en Twitter 164 predicados que admiten el complemento posesivo (CPos) con función argumental. Dichos posesivos tónicos tienen en común el hecho de alternar con el complemento de régimen preposicional (CR), bajo la forma preposición + pronombre personal, y de expresarse con el género no marcado en la primera, segunda y tercera persona del singular. Además de admitir un argumento interno preposicional, los verbos que participan en la alternancia CR ~ CPos designan, en su mayoría, procesos mentales, en los que pueden participar complementos argumentales con rasgos de persona. Los posesivos no solo satisfacen esta condición deíctica, sino también la relacional, un rasgo compartido con la preposición de caso genitivo de, con el que suele alternar. Los datos permiten comprobar, además, que el fenómeno se extiende a predicados que seleccionan complementos introducidos por a y en, si bien dentro del ámbito del CR. Se señalan, como posibles factores de extensión analógica, la alternancia preposicional (de ~ en) y el contenido léxico de los predicados.
Food as function and food as figure: Cultural translation and cultural hybridity in A change of skies, Love and vertigo and Nina’s heavenly delights
Authors: Svensson Anette
Published: November 2022

Food is a major concern in popular culture and in literary studies at present and there are numerous novels, movies, and TV-shows that focus on food and its various functions – literary, cultural, and social. Food, which is a highly politicised subject, is one way in which cultural translation takes place as it is used to create an understanding of cultural transfer processes and their implications.This paper aims to explore how representations of food accentuate the theme of migration and serve as sites for cultural translation in A change of skies by Yasmine Gooneratne (1991), Love and vertigo by Hsu-Ming Teo (2000), and Nina’s heavenly delights by Pratibha Parmar (2006). In addition to representing the source and target cultures, food illustrates the immigrant’s position in-between cultures, thus emphasising cultural hybridity, in particular through the fusion of food from the source and the target cultures.
Kulturkritik und Reflexionen zum deutschen Kolonialismus in Christian Krachts Roman Imperium
Authors: Uysal Ünalan Saniye
Published: November 2022

In spite of its ironic posture, Christian Kracht’s novel Imperium (2012) contains a serious criticism of civilization, which is illustrated along the protagonist August Engelhardt. Through the fictionalization of this historical character, the novel critically reflects German colonialism, but also the “German madness” (Setz 2015: 155). This way, Imperium highlights the dialectical dimensions of culture as well as of colonialism and thus calls for a postcolonial reading. The aim of this study is to work out that Kracht’s novel Imperium by means of the fictionalization of the historical figure August Engelhardt offers a postcolonial perspective on the colonial as well as totalitarian ambitions of the Wilhelminian Era. This perspective is intensified through a critical view in sense of the cultural criticism that was developed by Horkheimer and Adorno in the Dialectic of Enlightenment (2006). Doing so, the novel presents the inhuman dimensions of unilateral concepts in a remarkable way. After mapping out the theoretical foundation of the study in the context of Postcolonial German Studies and outlining of the interrelations of cultural criticism and postcolonial approaches, I will investigate the critical dimension of the novel with regard to the progress optimism as well to the German colonial expansion politics at the end of the 19th and the beginning of the 20th century. Thereby, I will concentrate on the ambivalent protagonist August Engelhardt and his strange philosophical ideas, which celebrate the coconut as a sacred fruit. Based on the regression of the protagonist, the subversions of the colonial discourse will be explored with respect to the arguments of Horkheimer and Adorno.
Tempus, Modus und Modalverben in Notkers Psalmenbuch im Vergleich zu Luthers Psalmenübersetzung und zum neuhochdeutschen Psalter
Authors: Kotin Michail L.
Published: November 2022

Am Material des historischen und gegenwartssprachlichen Psalmenkorpus (Notkers Psalter, Luthers Psalmenübersetzung in der Redaktion von 1912 und moderne sog. Einheitsübersetzung) wird untersucht, wie die Formen des Tempus, Modus bzw. die Modalverbkonstruktionen bei der Wiedergabe der Zukunft interagieren und wie sich die Modalverbkonstruktionen bei der Kodierung der Vergangenheitsperspektive verhalten. Auf Systemebene wären die (genuin deontischen oder volitiven) Modalverben theoretisch gerade im Althochdeutschen, wo die morphologische Futurform fehlt, ein ideales Mittel zur Kodierung der prospektiven Funktion, insbesondere bei den Verben nichtterminativer Aktionsartklassen, gewesen. Nichtsdestoweniger entscheidet sich Notker in seiner Übersetzung am häufigsten für den Einsatz der Präsensformen des jeweiligen Grundverbs, selbst auf Kosten einer möglichen temporalen Ambiguität der jeweiligen Lesart. Die Modalverbfügungen erscheinen bei ihm in aller Regel lediglich in seinen eigenen Kommentaren und Erläuterungen zu seiner Übersetzung, welche in den Gesamttext integriert sind. Bei Luther und in der modernen Einheitsübersetzung werden dagegen nahezu durchweg die Modalverben verwendet, um die lateinischen Futurformen bzw. die Formen des Präsens Konjunktiv mit Zukunftsbezug wiederzugeben. Bei der Kodierung des Vergangenheitsbezugs fungieren die Modalverben dagegen nur als modale und nicht als temporale Signale. Die Analyse hat gezeigt, dass sich Notker im Haupttext des Psalters generell an die lateinische Sprachform hält, während Luther und die auf ihn folgenden Übersetzer die Möglichkeiten des deutschen Modalverbsystems nutzen, um eine genauere sinngemäße Entsprechung zu bewerkstelligen. Ferner hat sich bestätigt, dass die – overten wie koverten – Signale für Temporalität, Aspektualität bzw. Aktionsart und Modalität nicht autonom auftreten, sondern mehrfache kategoriale Schnittstellen bilden.

Finalmente, completamos dicho índice de frecuencia con el análisis de las 100 SF más frecuentes atendiendo a otros criterios, rentables comunicativamente, de tipo lexicométrico, lingüístico y nociofuncional.
„Andere über uns“. Leserbriefe als strategische Kommunikation in der DDR-Revue der 1980er Jahre
Authors: Seiler Brylla Charlotta
Published: November 2022

Bis 1989, als der Zusammenbruch der DDR seinen Anfang nahm, befand sich der Staat in einer ständigen Systemkonkurrenz – sowohl im eigenen Land als auch im Ausland. In der sogenannten Auslandsinformation oder Auslandspropaganda ging es darum, die Vorteile des Sozialismus zu zeigen und die Nachteile des Kapitalismus zu enthüllen. Die Zeitschrift DDR-Revue, die 1956-1990 monatlich in acht Sprachen erschien, war für die Auslandsinformation der DDR in Westeuropa das wichtigste schriftliche Informationsmedium.

Dieser Beitrag beschäftigt sich mit den sprachlichen Strategien der Auslandsinformation der DDR. Mithilfe einer Analyse von Leserbriefen in der DDR-Revue der 1980er Jahre soll die auslandsinformatorische Methode „Andere über uns“ in den Blick genommen werden. Die Leserbriefe kamen aus verschiedenen Ländern und sollten illustrieren, dass es zahlreiche Leser/innen und DDR-Freund/innen auch im nicht-sozialistischen Ausland gab.

Die Analyse fokussiert auf die narrativen Strukturen und Strategien in den Leserbriefen und fragt danach, was und wie über die DDR und ihren Bürger/innen erzählt wird. Durch eine Analyse der Themen und der sprachlichen Handlungsmuster der untersuchten Texte wird die Textsorte des Leserbriefs im Rahmen eines totalitären Settings untersucht. Es wird gezeigt, dass die Leserbriefe ihre prototypische Funktion zugunsten einer Propagierung sozialistischer Werte eingebüßt haben. Transportiert wurden letztlich die gleichen Themen wie in allen anderen Texten und Textsorten der Auslandspropaganda, um das „andere“ Deutschland als Vorbild zu zeigen. Durch die Methode „Andere über uns“ entstand jedoch die Möglichkeit, die zentralen Themen der Auslandsinformation mit einer anderen Stimme auszudrücken und eine bestimmte Popularität des Sozialismus im westlichen Ausland zu suggerieren.

El siguiente artículo introduce los conceptos de transfeminismo y postpornografía en tanto que marcos en los que se desarrolla el pornoterrorismo. También define el propio concepto de pornoterrorismo como praxis queer y preámbulo a los antecedentes del cuerpo monstruoso que le es propio. Posteriormente estudia la rabia como origen y motor de la violencia figurada que le es intrínseca. Para ejemplificar traeremos a colación a la artista multidisciplinar Diana J. Torres (Madrid, 1981) y haremos un comentario de su performance Squirting Fontana.

The following article introduces the concepts of transfeminism and post-pornography as frameworks within which pornography takes place. It also defines the very concept of pornoterrorism as queer praxis and preamble to the background of the monstrous body that is its own. Later, he studies rage as the origin and engine of the figurative violence that is intrinsic to it. To exemplify, we will bring up the multidisciplinary artist Diana J. Torres (Madrid, 1981) and we will comment on her performance Squirting Fontana.
Disidencia porno en Love (2015) de Gaspar Noé
Authors: Santana Quintana María Del Pino
Published: November 2022

Gaspar Noé, uno de los realizadores más controvertidos del panorama cinematográfico actual, a quien Paul B. Preciado incluye en la llamada "nouvelle vague post-porno", cuestiona el modelo establecido de representación del sexo en el cine construyendo imágenes que bordean la pornografía. En su polémico filme Love (2015), rodado en 3D, el director franco-argentino recurre a la estética formal y narrativa del lenguaje cinematográfico para filmar de forma creativa y libre de prejuicios una sexualidad abierta y transgresora que huye de las convenciones del discurso pornográfico tradicional y hegemónico, optando por una mirada autoral.

Gaspar Noé, one of the most controversial directors in the current film industry, whom Paul B. Preciado includes in the so-called “post-porn nouvelle vague”, questions the dominant mode of sex representation in film by constructing images verging on pornography. In his provocative 3D film Love (2015), the French-Argentinian filmmaker makes use of the formal and narrative aesthetics of film language to innovatively shoot a transgressive sexuality that discards the visual conventions of traditional and hegemonic porn films in favour of an auteur-driven gaze.

Dans cette contribution, nous voulons proposer une analyse exploratoire qui permettra de découvrir des mécanismes référentiels relevés dans les arrêts de la Cour de Cassation. Plus exactement, nous nous proposons ici d’étudier comment la Haute juridiction de l’ordre judiciaire français dispose le texte, manie l’anaphore et opère des désignations et des référenciations, dans le but de faciliter la compréhension du texte, d’éviter toute ambiguïté (source possible de flagrantes erreurs d’interprétation), et de rendre le discours clair, cohérent et concis. L’analyse des formes anaphoriques démonstratives spécialisées dans le contrôle des risques d’ambiguïté (Charolles : 1995), telles que ledit, susdit, celui-ci, ce dernier... etc. et des pronoms relatifs (lequel), nous permettra de montrer la gestion des risques d’ambiguïté référentielle dans les arrêts. This contribution has taken up the results of an analysis centered on a particular type of legal discourse, a type that tradition raises as a paragon of clarity and precision, and which is expressed in the judgments of the French Court of Cassation. Our objective was to describe the specificity of referential processes and referential interpretation treatment in the texts of the judgments, putting into play the particular context of enunciation and legal knowledge. The analysis of the demonstrative anaphoric forms specialized in the control of the risks of ambiguity (Charolles: 1995), such as ledit, susdit, celui-ci, ce dernier, etc., used to identify the "true" referent among several potential candidates, allowed us to show how the Court controls and manages the potential risks of referential confusion.

Das Wiener Kaffeehaus als Lebenswelt und Spiegel gesellschaftlicher Veränderungen am Beispiel der Novelle Buchmendel von Stefan Zweig
Authors: Coşan Leyla
Published: November 2022

In his novella Buchmendel (1929), Stefan Zweig (1881-1942) refers to the tradition of the coffee house as an explicit place of cultural and social exchange in the 20th century Vienna. The aim of this study is to show the Viennese coffee house tradition not only as a breeding ground for social developments, but also as a kind of microcosm in which the oscillations of social life are reflected. The novella Buchmendel (1929) will be used to analyse the coffee house culture of Viennese society as a seismograph of social changes. The main focus of the study is the story of the protagonist Buchmendel, whose life circumstances will be described and analysed against the backdrop of the Viennese coffee house tradition culture.
Tenis ‘zapatillas de deporte’ en los diccionarios: origen, número gramatical y distribución geográfica
Authors: Rodríguez Muñoz Francisco J.
Published: November 2022

Tras realizar una aproximación de carácter etimológico y lexicográfico a la voz tenis, el estudio se centra en la naturaleza morfológica de este sustantivo, concretamente en la categoría de número, cuando posee el significado de ‘zapatillas de deporte’. Frente a la solución que ofrece la 23.ª edición del Diccionario de la lengua española, donde tenis, con dicho sentido, figura con la marca de plural, se propone sustituir esta por “U. m. en pl.” (= ‘usado más en plural’) y considerar el sustantivo como dual léxico. De manera complementaria, se proporcionan datos acerca de la incorporación y la distribución geográfica de este vocablo y de otros equivalentes en los países de habla hispánica.
Análisis dialectométrico del nivel fonético del Atlas Lingüístico Pluridimensional de Panamá
Authors: Bonilla Johnatan Estiven
Published: November 2022

This work examines the dialectal division of Spanish in Panama based on the quantitative distribution of the phonetic features found in the Atlas Lingüístico Pluridimensional de Panamá (ALPEP) and its dialectometric analysis. The results allowed identifying five dialectal zones: the first zone, central-western composed of Panama, Portobelo, Salud, Penonomé, Santa Fe, Chitré, and Puerto Armuelles; the second area, which is known as the western zone, includes Pedasí, Santiago, El Tigre, Tolé, Cerro Punta and Changuinola; the third zone, central-eastern, formed by Metetí and Cañita; the fourth zone, eastern, given by the populations of La Palma and Yaviza; and the Guna Yala zone composed of El Porvenir.
Institutional Overlaps and Agency Autonomy: Examining Ministerial Influence on National Agencies’ EU Affairs
Authors: Kühn Nadja S.
Published: November 2022

Administrative integration across levels of government has raised questions about how it might affect political control over national agencies. This study asks what the key mechanisms are that might facilitate or impede ministerial influence over subordinate agencies’ implementation of EU rules and regulation. It argues that institutional overlaps, understood as coinciding organisational properties in agencies and ministries, leads to increased ministerial control. It tests the effect of three types of overlaps: administrative capacity, demography and site. With the benefit of a large-N dataset on Norwegian agency officials (N=1031) supplemented with qualitative interview data, the study examines how these organisational overlaps may account for ministerial influence over national agencies. The analysis reaffirms the explanatory value of organisational overlaps, but does not show significant effects of demography and site. Additionally, it suggests that involving agency officials in ministerial working groups might be an effective means to exert influence.
Explaining the Dynamics of Management by Objectives and Results Post-NPM: The Case of the Swedish National Executive
Authors: Wockelberg Helena , Ahlbäck Öberg Shirin
Published: November 2022

This research concludes that the Swedish institution of Management by Objectives and Results (MBOR) has changed as a result of a top-down reform. The aim of the reform, which was to reduce the number of requests for performance information that the government makes to the central government agencies, has been successfully implemented. In analysing the national government’s requests for performance information from 182 central government agencies (N=1752), this study confirms earlier claims of MBOR de-escalation. De-escalation is explained by stakeholder learning and the new policy that re-interprets performance management in terms that fit the ideals of New Public Governance. This research concludes that the size of an agency’s budget has a positive effect on the total number of requests and the government’s interest in quantitative performance indicators. Agency tasks that are relatively easy to measure and count have a significant positive effect on the number of government requests. Task is more important than budget size when governments decide what mix of indicators to request from a specific agency. In this respect, the Swedish government adjusts its requests for information to the agencies’ tasks. The results from this study contribute to the ongoing debate on the application of performance management in a post-New Public Management setting.
The Power of Evaluation
Authors: Nordesjö Kettil , Fred Mats
Published: November 2022

The aim of this special issue is to invite scholars in public administration to address issues of power in relation to evaluation practices in the public sector. Power is one of those big, difficult, and inherently nebulous concepts that both scholars and practitioners appear to consciously or unconsciously avoid. Our ambition in this introduction is not to present a comprehensive conceptual review of power, let alone to present the many different aspects of evaluation. Rather, this is a humble attempt to foster a more explicit discussion of the relationship between power and evaluation. The aim of this introduction is, firstly, to introduce a few basic distinctions and conceptualisations of the relationship between power and evaluation. Secondly, we would like to highlight three themes where power may be an especially fruitful lens when analysing, or just trying to make sense of, evaluation procedures. These are themes found in evaluation research, but where power is not always acknowledged or accounted for. We call them (1) Evaluation and instrumental power, (2) Evaluation and contextual power, and (3) Evaluation and performative power.
The Power and Paradoxes of Evaluation Systems – Increasing Use but Impeding Change
Authors: Andersen Niklas A.
Published: November 2022

In recent years, evaluation systems have become increasingly embedded within public sector organisations. This trend of systematising and institutionalising evaluation activities has generally been perceived as a way to increase the use – and thus the power - of evaluations. However, this article argues that the power of evaluation systems is of a more complicated nature than merely increasing the uptake of evaluative knowledge. By applying the concept of “contestability differential” to a concrete example of an evaluation system within the Danish employment services, it is shown how the institutionalisation of an asymmetric power relation between evaluation system and evaluand creates inherent paradoxes.

The analysis shows how the strong contestability differential between evaluation system and evaluand – necessary for securing the influence of evaluation systems - hinges on the permanence, organisational embeddedness and epistemological fixation of such systems. However, these same elements simultaneously also limit the usefulness of the evaluative knowledge and the capability of the evaluation system to invoke radical change and development in the evaluand.

The article thus highlights an inherent paradox of evaluation systems in that they are simultaneously increasing and decreasing the power of evaluations.
Reflection on: “Evaluation in Norway: A 25-Year Assessment”
Authors: Bastøe Per Øyvind
Published: November 2022

My comments are based on extensive experience of evaluation work over a period of more than 30 years, both as an evaluator, manager, member of review panels and advisory committees in Norway and in multilateral organisations, as well as an author of several books and articles on evaluation and organisational development. I am currently associate professor II at VID specialised university. The assessment under discussion in the article Evaluation in Norway: A-25- year assessment is unique in various ways. It has a long-term perspective, it is based almost exclusively on a public database, and it was conducted by someone outside government. Similar Norwegian assessments use data from surveys and interviews, have a short-term perspective and are performed by someone on the inside of government. Perhaps the most interesting aspect of the article is the interpretations by the authors of what this says about the status of evaluation in Norway.
Ethical Leadership Understandings in Public Professional Organisations
Authors: Risbjerg Nørgaard Rebecca
Published: November 2022

Some scholars have incorporated specific ethical values such as altruism and compassion and fairness toward employees into generic conceptualisations of ethical leadership. It is important to consider whether these concepts including specific values characterise notions of ethical leadership in all contexts. Based on theoretical arguments and by means of 41 interviews with managers and employees at Danish public hospitals, this article theoretically discusses and empirically illustrates what organisational context can mean for ethical leadership understandings. The empirical case represents a public organisational context characterised by strong professional leaders and employees. The theoretical and empirical insights suggest that overall, the existing theoretical concept of ethical leadership seems useful to characterise ethical leadership understandings in Danish public hospitals, while individuals’ social group identification in this organisational context informs which specific ethical values an ethical leader should demonstrate and promote.
