Sex sells? The role of female agency in sexualized advertisements
Authors: Keller Matthias , Walker Mirella , Reutner Leonie
Published: June 2020

Advertising with sexualized female models is a commonly used technique in the advertisement industry. While “sex sells” is often successful in eliciting positive responses from male consumers, it often elicits negative responses from female consumers. On the one hand, female consumers might perceive sexualization as lacking in value (i.e., as a cheap display of sexuality lacking any kind of commitment). On the other hand, they might perceive sexualization as lacking in agency (i.e., as the model being displayed as an object rather than a subject). In two studies we investigate whether it is the lack of value or the lack of agency in sexualization that leads to more negative evaluations by young female perceivers. We manipulated the slogan in a sexualized advertisement so that it either adds value to sex (but does not add agency to the model) or so that it adds agency to the model (but does not add value to sex). Furthermore, we investigate the role of relatedness between the consumer and model with two advanced methodological approaches manipulating the facial characteristics of the model in the advertisement. In Study 1, we manipulated relatedness via perceived familiarity of the model’s face, whereas in Study 2, we manipulated relatedness via actual similarity between the perceivers’ and the model’s face in the advertisement. Results indicate that the lack of agency rather than the lack of value leads to negative evaluations by female consumers. This effect was pronounced if the advertisement model was relatable to the consumers.
Beyond God and government: The role of personal control in supporting citizens’ well-being in the face of changing economy and rising inequality
Authors: Nguyen Thuy-vy , McPhetres Jonathon , Deci Edward L.
Published: June 2020

Based on previous theoretical models, the present research investigated three different psychological constructs (religious belief, trust in government, and the experience of personal control) as moderators of the link between country’s economic growth (i.e., Gross Domestic Product) and income inequality (i.e., Gini) on health, happiness, and life satisfaction. Using a large cross-national data set (N = 490,579), we found that personal control predicted health, happiness, and life satisfaction above and beyond reliance on God and trust in government. Religious belief predicted greater health and buffered the negative effect of income inequality on health only in wealthy economies, but yielded negative correlations with health in poor economies. The associations between personal control and trust in government with well-being outcomes were consistently positive across different levels of countries’ GDP and Gini. Further, personal control also served a compensatory function by buffering the negative effect of income inequality in wealthy economies.
The impact of sexism on leadership in female-male climbing dyads
Authors: Kulich Clara , de Lemus Soledad , Montañés Pilar
Published: June 2020

We investigated how sexism affected leadership in mixed-gender alpine climbing-dyads. We asked whether benevolent sexism would impair, and hostile sexism would increase (as a form of resistance) women’s leadership; and whether benevolent sexism would increase men’s leadership (as a form of paternalism). A correlational study assessed reported leading behaviour of alpine climbers. Then a vignette-based experiment presented climbers with cross-gender targets, of which three were sexist (non-feminist), and one feminist (non-sexist), and assessed leading intentions depending on targets’ and participants’ gender attitudes. Findings showed that women endorsing benevolent sexism indicated lower leading intentions with targets expressing benevolent sexism (i.e., benevolent and ambivalent men) as compared to hostile sexist men. Moreover, women’s benevolent sexism negatively affected their leading intentions with men endorsing the same gender ideology. Unexpectedly, women with low endorsement of hostile sexism reported higher leading intentions with a hostile sexist man than an ambivalent one, and with an ambivalent than a benevolent man. Conversely, men intended to lead more with female targets who expressed benevolent sexism, accommodating these women’s expectations. Further, men intended to lead more with ambivalent women, than with women deviating from gender stereotypes (i.e., feminist women, or hostile sexist women – who lack expected benevolence based on gender stereotypes). We conclude that benevolent sexism likely reinforces traditional gender roles in a leadership context when men face women who fit the gender stereotype; and when women are benevolently sexist, themselves. Moreover, low hostile sexist women confront men’s hostility with higher leading intentions, as a form of resistance.

Authors: Pratama Gilang A.
Published: June 2020

The development of English teaching and learning is also influenced by rapid changes in technology as we enter the industry of 4.0. Education and teaching-related field areas such as pedagogy, teaching media, the courses, etc. are the subjects which have been impacted by technology. Meanwhile, the lack of motivation is one of the obstacles that students faced. In this research, the researcher used one online-gamification tool called 'Kahoot!' in a senior high school to promote their engagement and motivation. The case study and questionnaire were used for the method of data collection. The data collection process was conducted for two months on campus. The meaningful gamification concept was applied through Kahoot! at the end of the meeting, and the last session they answered the questionnaires. Thirty-five students participated in this study, and the result of the study showed students’ responses which are discussed under two main topics; Students’ engagement and motivation, and learning outcomes.

Published: June 2020

In recent years, in the Russian Federation there has been an increase in the levels of radiofrequency electromagnetic fields in residential areas, including due to an increase in the number of base stations (BS). The purpose of sanitary and epidemiological surveillance at the stages of placement and commissioning of base stations (BS) is to prevent their adverse effects on public health. The increase in the number of base stations, together with the advent of new electronic equipment and antennas, provide opportunities for improving the processes of their accounting at the stage of placement and monitoring of the levels of radiofrequency electromagnetic fields at the operation stage. This automation tool can be a geo-information portal for providing sanitary and epidemiological surveillance of cellular base stations. The prototype of the geo-information portal allows both calculating the size of sanitary protection zones (SPZ) and building restriction zones (RZ) from the BS in online mode, displaying the results of calculations in graphical form and issuing sanitary and epidemiological conclusions for the placement and operation of base stations. The geo-information portal has the ability to synchronize with the data of the radio frequency center. Federal Service for Surveillance on Consumer Rights Protection and Human Wellbeing will be able to receive up-to-date analytical data. There will be completely automated processes of collecting, processing and storing information on BS.

Introduction. On the territory with a resistant snow cover, atmospheric pollution accumulates over several months; solid precipitation in the form of snow is an indicator object for assessing the state of the urban environment. Materials and methods. The sampling of snow was carried out on trial plots close to the monitoring points of atmospheric air and reflecting the influence of various stationary and mobile sources of pollution. The methods of gas chromatography-mass spectrometry and the atomic absorption spectrometry were used. Results. The results were obtained on the content of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and heavy metals in snow cover to identify risk zones in the city of Ulan-Ude of the Republic of Buryatiya. The widest range of metals is recorded at points located near a major traffic interchange and in a residential area near the low-rise buildings of the private sector. The determined PAHs in large quantities were established to be contained in the solid sediment of snow samples. Discussion. Snow cover is a depositing and transit component of the environment. Its study gives important information about the chemical state of industrial ecosystems. About 30 thousand tons of chemical impurities enter the air basin of Ulan-Ude from stationary sources per year. Emissions of the total amount of hydrocarbons averaged of 1,741.96 tons over the study period, soot - 822.41 tons, which is by tens and hundreds times higher than that of other toxic substances, therefore, the PAH content in snow samples is higher than that of heavy metals. Conclusion. The accumulation of chemicals of 13 priority PAHs, of which 60-80% of the total amount falls on 3-,4- nuclear counterparts (phenanthrene, anthracene, fluoranthene, pyrene, benzo(a)anthracene, chrysene) occurs in accumulating media. PAHs are associated with water-insoluble (solid phase) PAHs, which indicates to the unity of the main source of pollution (vehicle exhaust gases).
Comparative characteristics of the functional state of the Autonomous and Central nervous systems depending on the presence and degree of myopia in students

Published: June 2020

Introduction. In children and adolescents myopia in some countries already reached epidemic levels due to the growing prevalence is an urgent need for new approaches to management and search for screening indics of its development risk and key points in its stabilization. Taking into account the development and progression of myopia may be associated with autonomous influences of the nervous system, it becomes relevant to study the features of the autonomous status formation in children, depending on the presence and degree of myopia. Material and methods. The functional state of the autonomic nervous system in 380 5-10 grades students with low degree myopia (group 1), moderate myopia (group 2), and without myopia (group 3) was assessed by heart rate and central nervous system variability and mental performance using variation chronoreflexometry. Results. The maximum number (40%) was recorded in eighth grade of myopia students, 39.4% cases - in fifth grade students. An imbalance in the autonomic nervous system in schoolchildren was established to increase with growing myopic refraction. Thus, vagotonia occurred in 42.8% of students with low degree myopia, eutonia - in 42%, and sympathicotonia only in 15.2%. While in students with moderate myopia in 75% of cases the constraint of regulation systems was revealed due to excessive tone of the sympathetic part of the autonomic nervous system, which leads to uneconomic work of the cardiovascular system and a sharp decrease in the functional reserves of the body in 50% -70% of students. Conclusion. Consideration of the relationship of myopia with the autonomous status and functional state of the central nervous system offers new directions to the existing concepts of myopia management in children and adolescents of school age, which can be a starting point for solving the problem of prevention of myopia and its progression.

Seabirds and seals as drivers of plant succession on Surtsey
Authors: Magnússon Borgthór , Gudmundsson Gudmundur A. , Metúsalemsson Sigmar , Granquist Sandra M.
Published: June 2020

Plant colonization and succession on Surtsey have been monitored since 1965. In 2019, the 75th species
of vascular plants was detected on the island, 62 species were present and about 40 species had established
viable populations. Over the last decade colonization has slowed down and the number of present species
not increased. The rising number of seagulls breeding on the island after 1985 had a great impact on plant
colonization and vegetation development. While most parts of the island remained barren, a grassland
area (13 ha in 2018) developed in the main seagull breeding colony on the southern part of the island.
This development is attributed to transfer of nutrients from sea to land by the seagulls. In recent years a
dense patch of vegetation, 2 ha in 2018, has also developed on the low, northern spit of the island, where
a few pairs of seagulls breed in the spring and grey seals haul out and breed in the fall in considerable
numbers. In a survey conducted during the grey seal pupping period in 2019, the seal abundance and spatial
distribution was mapped accurately for the first time. The results show that the dense vegetation of the spit
and seal distribution are clearly overlapping. The continuous shrinking of the island and its spit has led to
an increasing concentration of the seals in their breeding area. Based on a literature survey we estimated the
nitrogen (N) input from sea to land by the grey seals as 9-13 kg N/ha in 2019. This compares to an estimated
input of 5-30 kg N/ha/yr by the seagulls breeding in the same area during 2015-2019. Within the grey seal
and seagull breeding area on the spit of the island, a distinct community of shore plants has developed.
Measurements of plant cover and biomass in permanent plots on Surtsey in 2018 and 2019 show that
development on part of the spit is reaching a similar state as in the old gull colony on the southern part of
the island. This suggests that the grey seals along with the seagulls are important drivers of plant succession
on the northern spit. Further research on the effects of the seals on nutrient transfer from sea to land and
ecosystem development on Surtsey is recommended.
Erosion and sedimentation in Surtsey island quantified from new DEMs
Authors: Óskarsson Birgir Vilhelm , Jónasson Kristján , Valsson Guðmundur , Belart Joaquín M.C.
Published: June 2020

We present data from a photogrammetric study on Surtsey island that generated three new DEMs and
orthoimages, two from scanned aerial images from 1967 and 1974 and one from high-resolution closerange images from a survey in 2019. DEM differencing allowed for quantification of the erosion and the
sedimentation in the island since 1967. Of the subaerial volcanics, about 45% of the lava fields have eroded
away but only about 16% of the tuff cones. The prevailing SW coastal wave erosion is evident from the
erosive pattern in Surtsey, and the cumulative loss of the coastal margins amounts to 28±0.9x106
m3
since
1967, with the current average erosion rate of 0.4±0.02x106 m3
/yr. Wind deflation and runoff erode the tuff
cones and the sediments at the flanks of the cones, with the total volume loss amounting to 1.6±0.2x106
m3
and the current erosion rate of 0.03±0.004x106 m3
/yr. A rapid decline in erosion rates characterized the first
years post-eruption, and the coastal erosion rate during the winter of 1967–68 was about 5–6 times higher
than the current erosion rate due to the thinner and less cohesive nature of the lava apron at the edge of the
shelf. The cones eroded at a rate about 2–3 times higher during the first years due to the uncompacted and
unconsolidated nature of the cones at that time. The 2019 area of 1.2 km2
and an extrapolation of the current
erosion rate fits well with the projected erosion curve of Jakobsson et al. (2000) with the island becoming a
tuff crag after approximately 100 years.
Sea sandwort from Surtsey: chromosomal evidence of active evolution via wide-hybridization
Authors: Anamthawat-Jónsson Kesara , Pace Audrey , Árnason Sigurður H.
Published: June 2020

Sea sandwort (Honckenya peploides) was among the first species of vascular plants colonizing Surtsey.
It is a member of the carnation family, Caryophyllaceae, a coastal plant with circumpolar distribution.
The species is dioecious comprising separate female and hermaphrodite (male) plants. Our previous study
of this plant revealed high molecular polymorphism, indicating rapid expansion and multiple origins,
but low genetic differentiation, suggesting gene flow on Surtsey. The maintenance and/or expansion of
populations with high gene diversity on the island are most likely fostered by several factors, one of them
being the polyploid nature of the study species providing fixed heterozygosity. We therefore investigated
chromosome number diversity of H. peploides from Surtsey, in comparison with accessions from Heimaey
and other locations within and outside Iceland. Seeds were germinated with and without cold stratification.
Chromosomes were isolated from root tips using the cellulase-pectinase enzymatic squash method. DAPIstained chromosomes were counted from microscopic images that were taken at 1000x magnification. The
results show that the most common 2n somatic chromosome number of this species is 68 (2n=4x=68),
but a tetraploid cytotype with 66 chromosomes also exists. The karyotype analysis shows that the species
is an autotetraploid, most likely originating via chromosome doubling (whole genome duplication) in a
diploid ancestor. Numerous other 2n numbers were discovered, from the diploid number 2n=2x=34 in
Heimaey to several different numbers between 40 and 64. The triploid hybrid numbers 2n=3x=51 (50-52)
were discovered from both Surtsey and Heimaey, as well as from other regions. Triploid hybrids serve as
a bridge promoting gene flow within populations, promoting heterozygosity in the tetraploid species. All
other numbers are aneuploids, most likely deriving from back-crossing of triploid hybrids and the euploid
parents. The presence of aneuploids across the species distribution range is due to its ability to propagate
asexually by clonal expansion. The presence of the lower ploidy levels within species, together with the
extensive aneuploidy, may be an evolutionary characteristic of a pioneering plant, with great dispersal
ability and genetic diversity, such as sea sandwort.
Cryopreservation of seeds of Melocactus zehntneri Braun ex Ritter f. and Cereus gounellei Luetzelb ex Schum k. by the vitrification method
Authors: Vendrame Wagner , Takane Roberto , Cardoso Lamartine , Alvarez Leonardo , Tadeu Ricardo
Published: June 2020

The Brazilian Caatinga houses a number of cacti species, which are considered endangered due to human influence. Two of them, Melocactus zehntneri Braun ex Ritter f. and Cereus gounellei Luetzelb ex Schum k., are endemic of the Brazilian Caatinga. Cryopreservation can provide a means for long-term preservation of endangered plant material. The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficiency of cryoprotectants for the cryopreservation of seeds from these two ­species. The treatments consisted of immersing seeds in different cryoprotectant solutions and vitrification solutions before storage in liquid nitrogen (NL) at -196 °C, as follows: T1- Control: no cryoprotectants; T2- PVS2 (10 min), T3-  PVS2 + phloroglucinol 1% (10 min), T4- PVS2 (10 min) + Supercool 1%; T5- PVS2 + phloroglucinol 1% (10 min) + Supercool 1%. Seed germination was evaluated after cryopreservation. The experimental design was completely randomized with five treatments and five replicates per treatment. Seed moisture at the beginning of the experiment was 6.2% for M. zehntneri and 7.8% for C. gounellei. There were no statistically significant differences for the seed germination percentage among the different treatments. Therefore, we concluded that seed of these two cacti species can be cryopreserved directly without the need for cryoprotectant solutions.
SOCIAL RIGHTS AND THE BASIC LAW OF GERMANY
Authors: Тулупова Елена
Published: June 2020

Modern Germany, despite the title of one of the stable social states, in the Basic Law practically does not mention social human rights and guarantees in this area. This paradox is very interesting, because, having no fundamental provisions, the state has been managing with social function for a long time and quite successfully. In 2019, however, there were renewed calls for a change in the Constitution, enshrining these provisions along with other human rights and their safeguards.
The Antecedents Influencing the Implementation and Success of the Middle School English Language Curriculum
Authors: KAYA Suat , OK Ahmet
Published: June 2020

The purpose of the present study was to explore the antecedents influencing the implementation and the outcomes of the middle school English language curriculum. Case study was adopted to deeply explore a phenomenon, which can be the processes, events, persons, curricula, or things of interest to the researcher. The phenomenon, in this study, is the middle school English language curriculum. Four English teachers teaching different grade levels from a middle school located in Ankara were participants of the study. The data collection instrument was a semi-structured interview developed by the researchers. The interview schedule included 11 main questions and some probing questions to explore the antecedents that might have influence on the implementation of the curriculum. Data collected through interviews were analyzed with content analysis. Content analysis revealed four categories (themes) which were named as “teacher characteristics”, “student characteristics”, “school characteristics”, and “teachers’ views about the curriculum”. Findings indicated that rather than one factor, the combination of the four factors influence teacher and student behaviors which in turn influence the implementation process and the overall success of the curriculum.
Conscious Consumerism Education in Social Studies Courses: Reflections of an Action Research
Authors: Dere İlker , AKTAŞLI İbrahim
Published: June 2020

This paper aims to reveal the effectiveness of conscious consumerism education about increasing and changing students’ awareness and perceptions of conscious consumerism. In the study, the action research method, one of the qualitative research methods, was used. The study included 23 students studying in a public secondary school in Konya, Turkey. Data were collected by using structured interviews, teacher observations, teaching activities and video recordings. The data were evaluated by the content analysis method. Firstly, a "prior knowledge assessment form" was applied to the students to measure their knowledge about conscious consumerism. Then, considering the students' missing or incorrect knowledge, teaching activities about conscious consumerism were designed and implemented. The results obtained in the study have revealed that action research activities positively affect students' awareness and perception of conscious consumerism. In addition, these activities have enabled students to perceive "conscious consumption" as responsible, sustainable and thoughtful consumption.
Divergent Thinking and Convergent Thinking: Are They Promoted in Mathematics Textbooks?
Authors: Bingölbali Erhan , BİNGÖLBALİ Ferhan
Published: June 2020

This study explores whether mathematics tasks in primary school mathematics textbooks provide opportunities for divergent and convergent thinking. Four mathematics textbooks (one from each of first to fourth grades) are examined for this purpose. A task is divided into three segments for the analysis and the segments are named as the beginning, the intermediary, and the end. These segments are analysed in terms of the numbers of entry points, solution methods, and correct outcomes respectively. The modes of the segments enable us to identify six different tasks. Tasks that definitively have an open-ending (multiple correct outcomes) are considered to have divergent thinking features and those which have only one correct outcome are deemed to have convergent thinking characteristics. The study reveals that the textbooks provide opportunities for both divergent and convergent thinking, yet more chances are particularly given for convergent thinking. The findings are discussed in relation to divergent and convergent thinking alongside creativity and some implications are provided for textbooks studies.

Published: June 2020

Холодові травми (ХТ) донедавна були в основному проблемою військових, однак останнім часом збільшується кількість постраждалих серед цивільного населення. Це пов’язано зі зростаючою популярністю активного способу життя та таких його елементів, як спортивний туризм, альпінізм, катання на лижах, і збільшенням кількості безхатченків. Взимку число постраждалих сягає 12 000. Більшість хворих потребують стаціонарного лікування, смертність перевищує 10 %. За патогенезом ХТ схожа з запаленням, що розвивається за опіків та ішемічних уражень. Значну роль у патогенезі відіграють продукти метаболізму арахідонової кислоти: тромбоксан, простагландини, лейкотрієни. Враховуючи роль ейкозаноїдів у механізмі розвитку ХТ, можна зробити припущення щодо позитивного впливу інгібіторів метаболізму арахідонової кислоти на перебіг цієї патології. Мета дослідження – порівняти виразність фригопротекторного ефекту низки нестероїдних протизапальних препаратів (НПЗП) з різною селективністю й аналгетика-антипіретика парацетамолу на моделі гострого загального охолодження (ГЗО) у мишей. Дослідження виконано на білих мишах самцях масою 20–24 г протягом одного дня з 12.00 до 18.00 год. Для моделювання ГЗО мишей вміщували до індивідуальних пластикових кліток об’ємом 500 см3 без обмеження рухової активності та доступу повітря, розташовували в морозильній камері «Nord Inter-300» з прозорою кришкою за температури –18 °С. Інтегральним показником фригопротекторної дії обрано час життя тварин. Використано такі препарати та субстанції: неселективні інгібітори ЦОГ – ацетилсаліцилова кислота (Аспірин, таблетки, «Bayer», Німеччина), диклофенак натрію (Вольтарен, таблетки, «Novartis», Швейцарія); високоселективні інгібітори ЦОГ-2 – целекоксиб (Целебрекс, таблетки, «Pfizer», США), еторикоксиб (Аркоксія, таблетки, «Merck Sharp & Dohme Idea Inc», США); подвійні інгібітори ЦОГ-2/5-ЛОГ – дарбуфелон, дарбуфелону мезилат, 5-(3,5-ди-трет-бутил-4-гідроксибензиліден)-2(тіазол-2-іліміно)-тіазолідин-4-он (субстанції); інгібітор ЦОГ-3 – парацетамол (Панадол, таблетки, «Glaxo Smith Kline plc», Ірландія). Результати дослідження демонструють, що парацетамол не має фригопротекторних властивостей. Еторикоксиб виявляє найбільший фригопротекторний ефект серед класичних НПЗП. Дарбуфелону мезилат демонструє найвищу фригопротекторну активність серед усіх досліджених препаратів. Враховуючи цей факт, можна припустити важливу роль 5-ЛОГ і лейкотрієнів у патогенезі холодової травми.

Spatial overlap, proximity, and interaction between lobsters revealed using acoustic telemetry
Authors: Lees KJ , Mill AC , Skerritt DJ , Robertson PA , Fitzsimmons C
Published: June 2020

The cryptic nature ofHomaruslobsters has restricted past behavioural studies to aquaria, mesocosms, or shallow coves. As such, spatial overlap and interactions between free-rangingHomaruslobsters have received little attention. However, it is clear that dominance behaviours directly affect their probability of capture, negatively affecting catch and complicating population monitoring. This study describes lobster behaviour at a scale that could not be achieved in aquaria or mesocosms. Home-range overlap and contact rates among free-ranging, acoustically taggedH. gammarus(n = 44) were assessed at multiple spatial scales. Data were analysed as unique pairings of lobsters (dyads), which could be single- or mixed-sex pairings. If home-range overlap between tagged lobsters occurred, interactions between lobsters were classified as attraction or avoidance. The number of times a lobster overlapped with the home range of another lobster was related to the mean substrate hardness within the home range of the focal lobster. Fewer interactions occurred between female lobsters, compared to males and mixed-sex pairings. Interactions between lobsters that occurred at 10 m, and interactions between mixed-sex pairs at 5 m, were identified as attractions. Interactions between male lobsters at 5 m were largely identified as avoidance and may indicate small-scale spatial exclusion. Understanding the drivers of movement and behaviour in wild free-ranging lobster populations is relevant to stock assessments, disease management, protected areas designation, and the development of sustainable evidence-based fisheries.
Imagining Colonial Environments: Fire in Australian Children's Literature, 1841–1910
Authors: Smith Michelle J.
Published: June 2020

This article examines children's novels and short stories published in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries that feature bushfires and the ceremonial fires associated with Indigenous Australians. It suggests that British children's novels emphasise the horror of bushfires and the human struggle involved in conquering them. In contrast, Australian-authored children's fictions represent less anthropocentric understandings of the environment. New attitudes toward the environment are made manifest in Australian women's fiction including J. M. Whitfield's ‘The Spirit of the Bushfire’ (1898), Ethel Pedley's Dot and the Kangaroo (1899), Olga D. A. Ernst's ‘The Fire Elves’ (1904), and Amy Eleanor Mack's ‘The Gallant Gum Trees’ (1910). Finally, the article proposes that adult male conquest and control of the environment evident in British fiction is transferred to a child protagonist in Mary Grant Bruce's A Little Bush Maid (1910), dispensing with the long-standing association between the Australian bush and threats to children.
Laundering Treasure in Stevenson'sTreasure Island
Authors: Rhee Suk Koo
Published: June 2020

In R. L. Stevenson's Treasure Island, the motif of the treasure hunt resonates strongly with the economic realities of eighteenth-century Britain, particularly when viewed within the context of the British joint venture boom. This boom erupted in its most hysterical form in the ‘South Sea Company Craze’ of 1720. In Stevenson's fiction, overseas joint ventures and high seas piracy share certain implicit commonalities, though one of these is never mentioned – or, more accurately, it is repressed. In Pierre Macherey's terms, this repressed element constitutes a non-dit of the fiction, something without which the text could not have been written, yet whose manifest presence would also have made the text impossible. At the centre of this constituting-yet-absent history, a shady commodity lurks: the trade in human merchandise, whose sales fill the English coffers with Spanish silver and gold. Attempting to articulate what Stevenson's pirate story could not say, this article probes its displaced politico-economic history, concluding that the novel's exotic treasure hunt serves as an ideological alibi for the profit-laundering of its trade in human slaves.
New Materialist Openings to Children's Literature Studies
Authors: García-González Macarena , Deszcz-Tryhubczak Justyna
Published: June 2020

New materialist and posthuman thinking denote a range of approaches that have in common a focus on materialities as a turn against the persistence of Cartesian dualisms (mind/body, subject/object, nature/culture, for example). In this article, we explore how the feminist new materialism of Donna Haraway, Karen Barad, and Rosi Braidotti, among others, may provide openings to research in our field, especially when considering what is recurrently taken up as one of its central problems: the positioning of the child in a world ruled by adults. We first discuss recent approaches in children's literature studies that show interest in these theories and then use these to offer a toolbox of terms and notions – from ethico-onto-epistemology to diffraction – that may open possibilities for research in more-than-human environments.
Representing Turks in Greek Children's and Young Adult Fiction
Authors: Athanasiou-Krikelis Lissi
Published: June 2020

What do Greek children learn about the Turk-Other from children's literature, and how does this image of the enemy inform their national Self? Has the representation of the Turk-Other remained static or do recent publications demonstrate a change in its portrayal? This article explores such questions in the context of contemporary Greek texts for children and young adults. The image of the Turk-soldier has been and remains overwhelmingly negative. The Turk who represents the Ottoman Empire is the vicious victimiser and ruthless conqueror. The Turk-friend, however, features a more complex conglomeration of attributes, some degrading and others elevating. Fictional histories, that is narratives with a strong inclination towards historical accuracy, are less favourable to the Turk-Other, aiming to preserve a homogenised version of the nation and to justify the deeds of war heroes. These observations persist throughout the twentieth century and do not deviate from the patterns found in adult literature. Nonetheless, in more recent publications the image of the Turk-Other is slightly more positive due to two related factors: the foregrounding of the weaknesses of the national Self and the problematising of the historical representation. By juxtaposing negative portrayals of both Turkish and Greek behaviours and by questioning historical truisms, the image of the Turk is being re-humanised.
