Reading is receptive or accepting activity. The reading activity of some students is considered not a necessity or a necessity. In fact, reading activities need to be taught or familiarized as early as possible. The ability to read does not come alone, suddenly, or just come, but requires a process of practice or practice continuously, and has a clear purpose. A person who has good reading skills will think critically and have good understanding. The obstacles experienced by students in reading are students who consider reading trivial or trivial things. Then, students only carelessly read or did not have a clear purpose. There are several causes of low student reading ability, namely the lack of examples or exemplary parents or teachers in reading books, lack of reading material, environmental factors, and effective education strategies or reading techniques. Learning in the 2013 curriculum implements a scientific approach. The scientific approach is an approach that focuses on science, facts, phenomena, and context. Some learning models that use a scientific approach such as discovery learning, project based learning, problem based learning, and inquiry learning. In optimizing reading learning requires an effective approach or model. One of them is the scientific approach with a problem based learning model. The problem based learning model requires students to think critically in solving problems in both learning and everyday life. The research design used in this study used a pre-experimental design with type one group pretest posttest design. In the application of the one-group pretest-posttest design there is the application of pretest or initial test before treatment and posttest or test given treatment with a problem based learning model. Then, the results before and after given treatment are compared to find out the effectiveness of the problem based learning model in learning to read the description text in class VII-E students of SMP Negeri 6 Subang. Stages of statistical calculations start from searching for the average value, normality test, homogeneity test, and hypothesis testing. The average pretest is 53.3, while the posttest average value is 73.1. From the results of the average value before and after it can be compared that there is a difference in value of 19.8. The normality test is known that the pretest significance value is 0.200, while for the posttest value is 0.200. The homogeneity test can be seen from the significance value of the pretest and posttest is 0.342. Hypothesis testing the significance value of pretest and posttest is 0,000. So, there is a difference between the average test scores before and after being treated with a competitive approach with the problem based learning model in reading the description text.
IOX-101 Reverses Drug Resistance Through Suppression of Akt/mTOR/NF-κB Signaling in Cancer Stem Cell-Like, Sphere-Forming NSCLC Cell
Authors: Fayi Majed Al , Alamri Ahmad , Rajagopalan Prasanna
Published: November 2019

Drug discovery research to fight lung cancer is incessantly challenged by drug resistance. In this study, we used drug-resistant lung cancer stem like cells (A549-CS) to compare the efficacy of standard drugs like cisplatin (DDP) and gemcitabine (GEM) with a novel arylidene derivative
IOX-101. A549-CS was derived from regular A549 cells by growing in special media. Resistance proteins were detected using Western blotting. Cell proliferations were assessed by MTT assay. Cytokine release was enumerated using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. The effect of drugs on apoptosis
and cell cycle was studied with flow cytometry protocols. Apoptosis-related proteins, caspases, and other signaling protein expressions like Akt and mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) were assessed by Western blotting. Expression of CD133 and nuclear factor κB (NF-κB) phosphorylation
was assessed using flow cytometry. A549-CS showed significant increase in CD133 expression in comparison with A549 cells. Expression of resistance markers like MDR-1, lung resistance protein (LRP), and GST-II were detected in A549-CS. While DDP and GEM had relatively lower efficacy in A549-CS,
IOX-101 inhibited the proliferation of both A549 and A549-CS with GI50 values of 268 and 296.5 nM, respectively. IOX-101 increased the sub-G0 phase in the cell cycle of A549-CS and increased the percentage of apoptotic cells. Western blot analysis revealed activation
of caspases, Bax, and reduction in Bcl-2 levels. Further mechanistic investigation revealed IOX-101 to deactivate Akt, mTOR, and NF-κB signaling in A549-CS cells. Additionally, IOX-101 treatment to A549-CS also reversed MDR-1 and LRP expressions. Collectively, our results demonstrate
efficacy of IOX-101 in A549-CS, which was resistant against the tested standard drugs. The activity was mediated by suppressing Akt/mTOR/NF-κB signaling.

As indicated by the latest scientific evidence, the lines between different fields of medicine gradually blur and overlap more and more. Psychiatry and dermatology have seen this trend in the last decade as an ever-increasing number of studies suggest the strong connection of many dermatological syndromes and diseases with psychiatric conditions and vice versa. It seems that the relationship is more intertwined than previously believed and the effects of different multidisciplinary approaches to diagnostic and treatment are being considered.
The aim of this case report is to highlight the effect of psychotherapy on chronic spontaneous urticaria which is tightly related to the maladaptive stress response.

AIM: In this paper, using a mathematical model, we will show that for special exchanged photons, the Hamiltonian of a collection of neurons tends to a constant number and all activities is stopped. These photons could be called as the dead photons. To this aim, we use concepts of Bio-BIon in Izhikevich Neuron model.
METHODS: In a neuron, there is a page of Dendrite, a page of axon's terminals and a tube of Schwann cells, axon and Myelin Sheath that connects them. These two pages and tube form a Bio-Bion. In a Bio-Bion, exchanging photons and some charged particles between terminals of dendrite and terminals of axon leads to the oscillation of neurons and transferring information. This Bion produces the Hamiltonian, wave equation and action potential of Izhikevich Neuron model. Also, this Bion determines the type of dependency of parameters of Izhikevich model on temperature and frequency and obtains the exact shape of membrane capacitance, resting membrane potential and instantaneous threshold potential.
RESULTS: Under some conditions, waves of neurons in this BIon join to each other and potential shrinks to a delta function. Consequently, total Hamiltonian of the system tends to a constant number and system of neuron act like a dead system. Finally, this model indicates that all neurons have the ability to produce similar waves and signals like waves of the mind.
CONCLUSION: Generalizing this to biology, we can claim that neurons out of the brain can produce signals of minding and imaging and thus mind isn’t confined to the brain.

BACKGROUND: Recently, it has been developed a new technology for the reduction of subcutaneous adipose tissue through a non-invasive treatment by microwaves. The main objective of the present study is to demonstrate the feasibility of utilising a non-invasive, localised microwaves (MW) device to induce thermal modifications into subcutaneous adipose tissue only by a controlled electromagnetic field that heats up fat preferentially. This device is provided with a special handpiece appropriately cooled, directly contacting the cutaneous surface of the body, which provides a calibrated energy transfer by microwaves.
AIM: In this paper, microscopic and ultrastructural modifications of subcutaneous adipose tissue induced by microwaves irradiation are evaluated.
METHODS: Our experimental plan was designed for collecting biopsy samples, for each skin region treated with a single irradiation session, 1) before treatment (control), 2) immediately after treatment, 3) after 6 hrs, 4) after 1 month, 5) after 2 months. Bioptic samples from each step were processed for light microscopy and transmission electron microscopy. At the same time, each region where biopsies were collected was subjected to ultrasound examination. Recorded images permitted to evaluate the thickness of different layers as epidermis, dermis, hypodermis, connective fasciae, until to muscle layer, and related modifications induced by treatment.
RESULTS: In every biopsy collected at different time-steps, epidermis and superficial dermis appeared not modified compared to control. Differently, already in the short-term biopsies, in the deep dermis and superficial hypodermis, fibrillar connective tissue appeared modified, showing reduction and fragmentation of interlobular collagen septa. The most important adipose tissue modifications were detectable following 1 month from treatment, with a significant reduction of subcutaneous fat, participating both the lysis of many adipocytes and the related phagocytic action of monocytes/macrophages on residuals of compromised structures of adipocytes. In the samples collected two months following treatment, the remnants of adipose tissue appeared normal, and macrophages were completely absent.
CONCLUSIONS: Ultrasound, microscopic and ultrastructural evidence are supporting significant effectiveness of the new device treatment in the reduction of subcutaneous fat. In this paper, the possible mechanisms involved in the activation of the monocytes/macrophages system responsible for the removal of adipocytes residuals have also been discussed.
Synthesis and characterization of N, O-donor Schiff base capped ZnS NPs as a sensor for fluorescence selective detection of Fe 3+, Cr 2+ and Cd 2+ ions
Authors: Ayodhya Dasari , Veerabhadram Guttena
Published: November 2019

We report the simple synthesis of zinc sulfide nanoparticles (ZnSNPs) by a co-precipitation method using Schiff base, (2-[(4-methoxy-phenylimino)-methyl]-4-nitro phenol) as a capping agent. Here, Schiff base is also used as N, O-donor ligand to control the morphology of NPs and fluorescence interactions. The formation of ZnSNPs and their optical, structural, thermal properties and morphologies were studied by means of UV–vis DRS, fluorescence, FTIR, XRD, SEM, TEM, zeta potential and TGA. The optical properties and quantum confinement effect of the products were confirmed by means of spectroscopic measurements. XRD and TEM image shows that the synthesized ZnSNPs have cubic structures with a diameter of about less than 10 nm. The prepared ZnSNPs exhibited as a selective probe detection of Fe3+, Cr2+ and Cd2+ ions by fluorometrically and the emission band which disappears in the presence of increasing concentrations of Fe3+, Cr2+ and Cd2+ ions. Based on the fluorescence quenching of the NPs in the presence of metal ion of interest, the feasibility of their determinations was examined according to the Stern-Volmer equation. Our work suggested that Schiff base capped ZnSNPs could be a potential selective sensor in the detection of heavy metal ions.

Authors: Dayrat Benoît , Goulding Tricia C. , Khalil Munawar , Apte Deepak , Tan Shau Hwai
Published: November 2019

A new species, Onchidium melakense Dayrat & Goulding, sp. nov., is described, bringing the total to four known species in the genus Onchidium Buchannan, 1800. Onchidium melakense is a rare species with only nine individuals found at three mangrove sites in the Andaman Islands and the Strait of Malacca (western Peninsular Malaysia and eastern Sumatra). The new species is delineated based on mitochondrial (COI and 16S) and nuclear (ITS2 and 28S) DNA sequences as well as comparative anatomy. Each Onchidium species is characterized by a distinct color and can easily be identified in the field, even in the Strait of Malacca where there are three sympatric Onchidium species. An identification key is provided. In addition, Onchidium stuxbergi (Westerlund, 1883) is recorded for the first time from eastern Sumatra, and Onchidium pallidipes Tapparone-Canefri, 1889, of which the type material is described and illustrated here, is regarded as a new junior synonym of O. stuxbergi.
Violence et pouvoir sous la Rome républicaine : imperium, tribunicia potestas, patria potestas
Authors: Youni Maria
Published: November 2019

L’article entend montrer que les trois institutions archétypiques et originales dénotant les pouvoirs suprêmes qui forment le noyau de la constitution romaine – l’ imperium , la tribunicia potestas et la patria potestas  – s’appuient sur la violence physique. De plus, ces formes de violence légitime se fondent sur le droit de vie et de mort sur leurs sujets. On examine par la suite les mécanismes par lesquels le droit romain a incorporé et institutionnalisé des actes de violence dans ces notions essentielles du pouvoir, ainsi que les formes sous lesquelles la décision de vie ou de mort est exprimée.
« Chercher une définition sociologique de l’élite et du peuple dans les nouveaux mouvements sociaux revient à trahir le populisme qui leur est commun »
Authors: Tarragoni Federico , Gaudillière Jean-Paul
Published: November 2019

Populistes les Gilets jaunes ? Au-delà du stigmate, le terme est aussi une manière de parler de l’hétérogénéité sociale du mouvement, de ses discours et revendications prenant pour cible la faillite de la représentation politique. Partant de l’histoire des mouvements populistes, en particulier aux États-Unis, Federico Tarragoni explique pourquoi, à son avis, le mouvement des Gilets jaunes n’est pas engagé dans la construction d’une nouvelle identité de classe mais dans l’utopie d’une organisation du peuple par la radicalisation et la refondation de la démocratie.
« Partir de ce que les gens vivent ». Théorie de l’exploitation, imbrication des rapports sociaux et difficulté de la convergence des luttes
Authors: Delphy Christine , Jami Irène , Achin Catherine
Published: November 2019

La centième livraison de Mouvements est aussi l’occasion de revenir sur ce que, depuis plus de vingt ans, la revue a publié et analysé, mais aussi sur ce qui lui a échappé. Théoricienne du féminisme matérialiste, Christine Delphy est l’auteure de travaux fondateurs analysant l’articulation des systèmes capitaliste, patriarcal et raciste afin de proposer une théorie générale de l’exploitation. Cofondatrice en 1977 de la revue Questions féministes (devenue en 1981 Nouvelles Questions féministes ), Christine Delphy a plusieurs fois participé à la réflexion collective engagée par notre revue. Dans sa contribution de 2003 au dossier que Mouvements intitulait « Classes, exploitation : Totem ou Tabou ? » notamment, elle livrait une réflexion sur les angles morts de la théorie de la plus-value. Une quinzaine d’années après, comment réfléchir à l’imbrication des rapports de domination de classe, de genre et de race ?
« Penser le monde à nouveaux frais »
Authors: Gèze François , Bacqué Marie-Hélène , Gaudillière Jean-Paul
Published: November 2019

Président-directeur général des Éditions La Découverte de 1982 à 2014, François Gèze a assuré les conditions éditoriales de l’existence et de la diffusion de Mouvements . C’est par le biais de son parcours militant, commencé en mai 68, et de sa participation aux luttes anti-impérialistes au Cedetim – et plus tard à l’association Algeria-Watch – qu’il est « tombé dans la marmite de l’édition », en l’occurrence celle qui portaient alors le nom de François Maspero. Son implication de longue date dans les organisations professionnelles répond à une préoccupation constante : anticiper la portée des mutations du monde de l’édition pour préserver l’existence d’une critique indépendante.
Système D, marginalisation et émancipation dans le cinéma nigérian : Arts de « faire avec » une accumulation d’intermédiaires
Authors: Batard Anouk
Published: November 2019

L’autoproduction du film nigérian King of Shitta (2012), du nom d’un quartier défavorisé de Lagos, repose sur une série de tactiques et stratégies, ces ruses et arts de faire ici examinés par l’ethnographie. Comment un subalterne se sent-il autorisé et en capacité à aspirer au statut de producteur indépendant de films ? Ce prétendant cinéaste s’appuie sur le Do It Yourself (DIY), ou « système D » en français, et l’émergence de vocations cinématographiques afin de mobiliser des ressources « locales » nécessaires mais non suffisantes, et souvent désajustées face à l’internationalisation.
Gombo et entrepreneuriat, ou l’industrie audiovisuelle ivoirienne en devenir
Authors: Dénommée Julie
Published: November 2019

Cet article interroge le développement de l’industrie audiovisuelle en Côte d’Ivoire qui, malgré le succès récent des séries télévisées ivoiriennes, reste peu documenté. S’appuyant sur une ethnographie de la production télévisuelle en Côte d’Ivoire, l’article propose une interprétation de l’industrie audiovisuelle depuis la figure de l’entrepreneur et la notion de « gombo », qui désigne une opportunité financière lucrative. Retraçant l’émergence de la production télévisuelle privée en Côte d’Ivoire, il démontre que les « gombos » participent au développement d’une industrie d’entrepreneurs plutôt que de producteurs ou de réalisateurs. Articulant ensuite ces pratiques de l’industrie aux structures globales de l’audiovisuel, l’article met en lumière les tensions que ces rencontres génèrent tout en posant la nécessité de nouveaux concepts pour penser les cultures populaires de la société ivoirienne post-conflit.
Névroses « florides » à l’adolescence
Authors: Givre Philippe , Vandermarliere Hélène
Published: November 2019

La clinique des adolescents nous met en présence d’organisations psychiques limites ou instables. Dans ces registres pré-symptomatiques, la dimension de l’inhibition constitue un recours précieux pour freiner les exigences pulsionnelles. Toutefois, ce type d’organisation subjective basé sur l’« inhibition par opposition » ne permet pas encore d’assurer le nouage de la satisfaction et de la loi, lequel nouage requiert l’advenue du symptôme. A défaut, notamment dans les problématiques obsessionnelles et anorexiques, s’instaure une forme de disjonction temporelle qui entraîne le sujet dans un dédale auto-réflexif poussé jusqu‘à l’absurde, jusqu’au point d’être emprisonné dans une oscillation perpétuelle entre comportements inhibés ou ascétiques et comportements débridés ou transgressifs.
La validation des acquis de l’expérience : une analyse des parcours
Authors: Havet Nathalie
Published: November 2019

Notre article cherche à décrire les parcours des candidats à la validation des acquis de l’expérience (VAE) et le rôle joué par les prestations d’accompagnement sur plusieurs étapes de ce dispositif. L’exploitation économétrique d’une enquête réalisée auprès de salariés bénéficiaires de congés de VAE en 2010-2013 permet de conclure que les prestations d’accompagnement sont un véritable levier pour endiguer les abandons. En outre, il ne faut pas négliger l’accompagnement au moment de la préparation de l’entretien, car celui-ci accroît significativement les chances de validation totale de la certification visée, tout en diminuant la durée totale de la procédure.
La voie secrète de l’albertisme
Authors: Verardi Donato
Published: November 2019

Cette étude est consacrée aux propositions sur la magie de deux protagonistes du débat philosophique italien du xvi e  siècle, à savoir François Storella (1529-1575), professeur de logique à Naples et à Salerne et maître de Giordano Bruno (1548-1600) ansi que Jean-Baptiste Della Porta (1535-1615), l’un des plus célèbres magiciens naturels de l’époque. Le but est de montrer les liens textuels et conceptuels entre les propositions de ces deux auteurs, formulées à Naples au cours de la même période. En particulier, l’étude examine l’image d’« Aristote magicien » proposée par Storella et le rôle de son commentaire du Secretum secretorum dans le processus de récupération des doctrines sur l’occulte naturel d’Albert le Grand dans la magie naturelle de Della Porta.
Théologie contextuelle africaine et pluralisme post-moderne
Authors: Chéno Rémi
Published: November 2019

La théologie africaine académique trouve son origine historique dans des tentatives post-coloniales d’inculturation et d’indigénisation ou bien dans des luttes de libération face à l’exploitation raciste des Noirs. Elle relève donc immédiatement du champ des théologies contextuelles, dont la typologie de S. Bevans l’invite à rejoindre la perspective du modèle synthétique à l’équilibre entre approche créationniste et approche rédemptrice, et entre continuité et discontinuité du contexte et de la culture avec la théologie, c’est-à-dire entre dialogue et prophétisme. Le caractère pluraliste de la postmodernité, qui est le berceau global aussi bien des théologies africaines que des théologies occidentales, pose un nouveau défi aux théologies africaines : elles doivent entrer en conversation les unes avec les autres, mais aussi avec le pluralisme de leurs propres sociétés. Le pluralisme conversationnel de David Tracy semble ouvrir une route féconde aux théologies africaines.
Quand la colère s’invite dans le couple : le conte systémique une issue apaisante
Authors: Daure Ivy , Forzan Sabine , Brun Liliane
Published: November 2019

Dans cet article, nous relatons le déroulement d’une prise en charge dans laquelle l’utilisation des outils systémiques est une ressource pour analyser entre autres l’impact de la migration dans les relations conjugales, dans un contexte multiculturel complexe : nous suivons les étapes de la thérapie d’un couple meurtri, figé entre colère et désarroi, en les accompagnant vers la voie de l’apaisement. La thérapie de couple, espace de création et de coconstruction, donne lieu au récit de l’histoire de la relation et de la migration qui vont pouvoir se relire au terme de la prise en charge, au travers de l’écriture d’un conte systémique tel que le proposent Caillé et Rey (1998). L’engagement mutuel permet à ce système thérapeutique de devenir le lieu fertile du changement de représentations et de vécus de cette situation traumatique.

New Graduate Registered Nurses and the Spectrum of Comfort in Clinical Practice
Authors: Mellor Peter David , Gregoric Carolyn
Published: November 2019

The comfort zone is where a person consistently performs his or her role in an affective state devoid of anxiety and without a feeling of risk. This study challenges the notion of a singular comfort zone and suggests that a spectrum of comfort is a more accurate reflection of the new graduate experience. A grounded theory methodology was used to identify and explain the spectrum of comfort considerations helpful to nine new graduates amid their transition to professional practice. Emerging from the data were themes that encompassed both the positive and negative regions of the spectrum of comfort. Negative themes were: Feeling Abandoned, Sometimes I Get Frightened, and Feeling Betrayed—Catching Hold. The more positive themes were: Moderation of Emotions, and Letting Go. Each of these themes requires an appropriate response from new graduates and experienced staff. The spectrum of comfort model and practical considerations of support could accomplish this.[J Contin Educ Nurs. 2019;50(12):563–571.]

Taking the Sting out of Examination Review
Examination review days—the days following an examination when frustrated and querulous students complain about “tricky” questions that have more than one correct answer or are based on faculty opinion—might be the most dreaded aspect of faculty life. Several years ago, while thinking of a way to make examination review more focused on learning and less about students advocating for more points, I came up with the idea of posting the examination and answers on the classroom walls.

Psychopharmacology of Suicide
Authors: Limandri Barbara J.
Published: November 2019

Despite the psychotherapeutic and pharmacotherapeutic advances in the treatment of depressive, anxiety, and psychotic disorders over the past several decades, the suicide rate in the United States has increased over the past 18 years. Medications are safer and more difficult to use in overdosing, but not necessarily more efficacious in bringing about complete remission of symptoms. The current article focuses on the theories and psychosocial and neurobiological correlates of suicide with the intent of formulating intervention strategies to prevent suicide. Particular attention is on medications that may contribute to suicidal ideation and behaviors and those that show evidence of reducing the risk of suicide. [

Kratom: Implications for Health Care Providers
Authors: Goldin Deana , Salani Deborah , Mckay Mary
Published: November 2019

Kratom is an herbal drug originating from the
Mitragyna speciosa
, a plant indigenous to Southeast Asia. Kratom has been widely used for its stimulant and opioid-like effects derived from its main psychoactive alkaloid properties mitragynine and 7-hydroxymitragynine. In the United States, kratom is gaining popularity as an herbal and natural dietary supplement, as well as a natural and legal alternative to narcotics. Kratom use is typically accompanied by increasing tolerance and dependence making it highly problematic. Kratom's potentially toxic and lethal properties have become an emerging public health threat. Due to deficiencies of governmental controls and its rising prevalence among individuals who ingest kratom, health care providers need to be familiar with the pharmacology, adverse effects, and problems associated with kratom ingestion when caring for individuals.

Dynamic Random Utility
Authors: Frick Mira , Iijima Ryota , Strzalecki Tomasz
Published: November 2019

We provide an axiomatic analysis of dynamic random utility, characterizing the stochastic choice behavior of agents who solve dynamic decision problems by maximizing some stochastic process (Ut) of utilities. We show first that even when (Ut) is arbitrary, dynamic random utility imposes new testableacross‐periodrestrictions on behavior, over and above period‐by‐period analogs of the static random utility axioms. An important feature of dynamic random utility is that behavior may appearhistory‐dependent, because period‐tchoices reveal information aboutUt, which may be serially correlated; however, our key new axioms highlight that the model entails specific limits on the form of history dependence that can arise. Second, we show that imposing natural Bayesian rationality axioms restricts the form of randomness that (Ut) can display. By contrast, a specification of utility shocks that is widely used in empirical work violates these restrictions, leading to behavior that may display a negative option value and can produce biased parameter estimates. Finally, dynamic stochastic choice data allow us to characterize important special cases of random utility—in particular, learning and taste persistence—that on static domains are indistinguishable from the general model.
On the Efficiency of Social Learning
Authors: Rosenberg Dinah , Vieille Nicolas
Published: November 2019

We revisit prominent learning models in which a sequence of agents make a binary decision on the basis of both a private signal and information related to past choices. We analyze the efficiency of learning in these models, measured in terms of the expected welfare. We show that, irrespective of the distribution of private signals, learning efficiency is the same whether each agent observes the entire sequence of earlier decisions or only the previous decision. In addition, we provide a simple condition on the signal distributions that is necessary and sufficient for learning efficiency. This condition fails to hold in many cases of interest. We discuss a number of extensions and variants.
Strategically Simple Mechanisms
Authors: Börgers Tilman , Li Jiangtao
Published: November 2019

We define and investigate a property of mechanisms that we call “strategic simplicity,” and that is meant to capture the idea that, in strategically simple mechanisms, strategic choices require limited strategic sophistication. We define a mechanism to be strategically simple if choices can be based on first‐order beliefs about the other agents' preferences and first‐order certainty about the other agents' rationality alone, and there is no need for agents to form higher‐order beliefs, because such beliefs are irrelevant to the optimal strategies. All dominant strategy mechanisms are strategically simple. But many more mechanisms are strategically simple. In particular, strategically simple mechanisms may be more flexible than dominant strategy mechanisms in the bilateral trade problem and the voting problem.
Kaj Slovenci počnemo z ameriško poezijo?
Authors: Novak Popov Irena
Published: November 2019

V zadnjih štirih desetletjih se je interes za ameriško poezijo zelo povečal: prevajamo klasike sodobne ameriške poezije, začenši z W. Whitmanom in W. C. Williamsom, nato W. Stevensa, pesnike beat generacije in newyorške šole, vse do mlajših, še ne kanoniziranih, pri čemer so prevajalci večinoma sami pesniki in pogosto tudi pisci uvodnih predstavitev. Pesniki, ki so v 90. letih 20. stoletja slovensko poezijo usmerili v postmodernizem in jo sproščali disidentske dediščine elitnega modernizma, so si prisvajali in na domače razmere prilagajali subjektove drže, pesniške postopke, motivno-tematske, žanrske in jezikovne izbire (odprtost, pogovorni jezik, pripovedovanje osebne zgodbe, vključevanje popularne kulture, medijev in glasbe, urbana resničnost), ki jih je uveljavila določena ameriška poezija, ter z njimi prenavljali domačo tradicijo. Namesto raziskave »vplivov« je s teorijo intertekstualnosti predstavljen način odzivanja, individualnega presnavljanja in preoblikovanja impulzov iz ameriške poezije v prijateljsko povezanem krogu ljubljanskih pesnikov Toneta Škrjanca, Primoža Čučnika, Gregorja Podlogarja in Ane Pepelnik. Njihove dinamične podobe izhajajo iz subjektivnega doživljanja urbane resničnosti, ki preplavlja govorca, do sodobnih družbenih pojavov imajo kritičen in ironičen odnos, igrivo eksperimentirajo z jezikom, posnemajo govorjeni jezik ter duhovito preoblikujejo prevzete modele. Prisvajanje tujega poteka skozi filter avantgardnih postopkov (kolažiranje), filozofijo nedoločenosti, časovno odvijanje glasbe ali pa ga spreminjajo v gradivo recikliranja (remakea).
Poezija v prostem verzu: tradicija Walta Whitmana v sodobni ameriški in slovenski poeziji
Authors: Divjak Igor
Published: November 2019

Razvoj slovenske poezije po letu 1950 se da razumeti kot prozaizacijo in estetsko inverzijo, pisanje poezije v prostem verzu pa kot poezijo v prozi. Ker mnogi literarni zgodovinarji izum prostega verza pripisujejo ameriškemu pesniku Waltu Whitmanu, razprava uvodoma pojasni, na podlagi kakšnih ustvarjalnih načel je ta zasnoval svojo zbirko Travne bilke. Številni sodobni ameriški pesniki se imajo za Whitmanove naslednike, podrobneje pa je predstavljeno, kako to razume bitnik Lawrence Ferlinghetti. Walt Whitman je v prvi polovici 20. stoletja vplival na Otona Župančiča in Antona Podbevška, v drugi polovici in do danes pa neposredno prek prevodov njegove poezije v slovenščino in posredno prek bitniških pesnikov na mnoge slovenske ustvarjalce. Zato lahko v določeni meri in ob upoštevanju drugih vplivov tudi na razvoj prostega verza pri nas gledamo kot na nadaljevanje Whitmanove tradicije. Razprava prikaže, kakšne ustvarjalne rešitve so v prostem verzu našli Andrej Brvar, Esad Babačić in Uroš Zupan.
Pesem-kot-okolje pri Waltu Whitmanu in Otonu Župančiču
Authors: Kernev Štrajn Jelka
Published: November 2019

Razmerja med Whitmanovo in Župančičevo poezijo so kompleksnejša, kot se zdi na prvi pogled. Zato članek ne raziskuje samo neposredno dokazljivih vplivov, ampak se posveča tudi afinitetam, ki niso nujno posledica neposrednega vpliva. Zanimive so predvsem razlike in podobnosti njunih naravnanosti, opazovane v luči koncepta pesem-kot-okolje (ang. environment-poem), kakor ga je prav na podlagi Whitmanove poezije uvedel ameriški literarni teoretik Angus Fletcher, in koncepta času neprimerno (fr. intempestif), kakor ga je na podlagi Nietzschejevih pojmov volje do moči in večnega vračanja oblikoval Gilles Deleuze. Članek opazuje in ugotavlja manifestiranje teh konceptov in njihovo povezavo s konceptualno metaforo valovanja, ki pesnika tesno povezuje in upravičuje primerjalno branje. Pri tem članek izhaja iz teze, da vsak izviren ustvarjalni akt vsebuje določen element, ki ga nobena interpretacija ne more izčrpati. To je moment, ki sodi v vsakokratno sodobnost, a ga je hkrati mogoče izločiti iz te sodobnosti in ga obrniti zoper njo v upanju na čas, ki še pride; je tisto, kar iz umetniškega dela naredi enkraten eksperiment. Vzporedno branje obeh pesniških opusov z vidika pesmi-kot-okolja privede do spoznanja, da ne le Whitmanovega, ampak tudi Župančičevega pesniškega opusa, kljub njegovi raznolikosti, ni smiselno deliti na izrazito ideološko obarvane ali angažirane pesmi in na tiste, ki sodijo v »čisto liriko«.
Elizabeth Bishop and the Villanelle: One Art, an Ocean, and Two Languages
Authors: Gadpaille Michelle , Onič Tomaž
Published: November 2019

The genesis of this study lies in Elizabeth Bishop’s famous poem, “One Art.” A villanelle, it stands out luminously against the background of contemporary poetics, the lingering legacy of modernist free verse and the many branches of experimental post-modernist poetry in the United States. It stands apart, with Theodore Roethke among the few precursors, claiming a traditional fixed poetic form—the 6-stanza villanelle—as a valid medium for expressing the late-twentieth-century concerns of a scholarly, peripatetic, lesbian poet. Formally, it is an anachronistic appropriation; aesthetically, it is a triumph. The questions triggered by Bishop’s poem and explored by this paper are three-fold: first, the adequacy of existing terminology for defining the refrain, where we propose the need for a new term: polysemic repetend. Our second question addresses the perceived global influence of “One Art.” We then turn to the presence of the villanelle in Slovenian poetics and consider how Bishop has been translated, since we assume that the formal complexity of the metrical and rhyme arrangement will present a challenge for the translator (Veno Taufer). The study thus works towards a modest appreciation of parallel New Formalist aesthetics between American and Slovenian poetry.
Pesem »Teorija strun« Richarda Jacksona in interpretacija poezije kot nezavednega stroja
Authors: Osojnik Iztok
Published: November 2019

Pesem »Teorija strun« kot prvo nagovarja odnos med poezijo in njenim tolmačenjem (na ozadju teorije, fizike, psihoanalize ali celo filozofije). V članku vpeljem nekaj konceptov, ki se osredotočijo na »madež« pesmi. Tega sproži jalovost iskanja pomena konvencionalne interpretacije pesmi. Da bi lahko posegel onkraj uveljavljenega načina tolmačenja, se naslonim na vprašanje notranjega zdaj-časa in nezavednega pesmi. Kako se zgodi pesem? Kdaj pride do njene uresničitve? Interpretativna aktualizacija pesmi mora izbrisati kakršnokoli konkretno individualnost. To, kar velja za nezavedno v Lacanovi psihoanalizi, velja tudi za poezijo: delovanje nezavednega se pokaže v njeni deformaciji, ne pa v vsebini. Torej vsaka subjektivnost (lirični subjekt), ki se ohranja, usmeri pozornost bralca na tako deformacijo, na madež, na krik v pesmi. Kako se madež oblikuje tako, da gre za pesem (jalove ljubezni, melanholije), ne pa na primer za fizikalno teorijo ali za mistično kontemplacijo božanske luči? Pesem »Teorija strun« vibrira med okruški sanj in potlačenim, »zapackanim« spominom travmatičnega jedra, ki poganja ponavljanje nelagodja tesnobe in stresa. Upam, da bo moje interpretativno ukvarjanje s pesmijo »Teorija strun« izzvalo vznik eksistencialne Stvari, ki se nam bo ponudila kot dar v neznosnem izmikanju. In prav to je tisto, kar pripisujemo učinku poetične diskurzivnosti.
Ennobling Interchanges
Authors: Jackson Richard
Published: November 2019

This paper draws on the poetic concept of the oneness of the self and the world, as elaborated through Coleridge’s reading of German romantic philosophers by the poet William Wordsworth. In his poem “Prelude” he rejects simple materialism and simple spiritualism, just as Schelling rejected the extreme views that the spiritual self creates the world or that the material world is created by the self. Wordsworth claims that things are half created and half perceived, and that there are ennobling interchanges between the world and the self. The notion of oneness, of the merging of inner and outer, perceived and the perceiver, has been influential on numerous and diverse poets. In the paper, I compare various modes of vision that attempt to reveal this oneness in Slovenian poets such as Prešeren, Kosovel, Detela and Osojnik on the one hand, and Wright, Oliver, Murray, Stevens and Strand among American writers. The question of influence is at least ambiguous, but what I am suggesting is some likenesses that seem to emerge from the act searching the world through writing.
Invisible Strings: Exploring Connections Between the Poetries of Jean Valentine and Meta Kušar
Authors: Carlson Barbara Siegel
Published: November 2019

The epigraph in poet Jean Valentine’s book Break the Glass: “A pencil / for a wing bone” (by Lorine Neidecker) leads us to consider the way writing allows for transcendence. Similarly, in her work, Meta Kušar brushes out stars with a comb and then finds “an accomplice / combed / in this hollowed-out place…” From the two countries US and Slovenia of such vastly different sizes, these poets, both influenced by such luminaries as Emily Dickinson and Marina Tsvetaeva, have carved out intimate spiritually enriching spaces where consciousness meets the sublime. Focusing on Kušar’s view of Heraclitus as a teacher who “understood invisible strings are stronger than visible ones,” I will explore the thematic, literary and stylistic connections between these two literary stars, as well as some of their differences in how they cultivate a poetics of the invisible that illuminates the mysterious underworld of the human soul as it negotiates the political, philosophical and ethical realms of contemporary existence.
Early Tomaž Šalamun and American Experimental Poetry
Authors: Đurić Dubravka
Published: November 2019

I discuss early Tomaž Šalamun’s poetry with the focus on book Poker published in 1966 as a Cold War product realized within the geopolitical and geocultural context of socialist Yugoslavia. The study shows how transnational flows shape the work of this important Slovenian poet specially under the hegemonically influential poetry field of American poetry and its counterpoetic streams well known by the title of now iconic Donald Allen’s anthology New American Poetry from 1960. At the beginning of this paper, I outline the different contexts in which Šalamun’s poetry and American experimental poetry is written, contrasting the Cold War socialist and capitalist poetry cultures. This is a moment in which the fields of art and poetry went through dramatic transformations that involved questioning the traditional approach to art and poetry. I explain the importance of T. S. Eliot for poetry production at that time. Then I focus on Šalamun’s early poetry of Poker. In my discussion I compare reism in Slovenian poetry and the objectivist impulse in American poetry. Finally, I compare Šalamun’s writing procedures with the procedures engaged in by the Beat poets and the New York school, as well as by the early language poetry.
