Simulation of the Progression of the COVID-19 Outbreak in Northwest Syria Using a Basic and Adjusted SIR Model
Authors: Al-Abdulla Orwa , Kallström Agneta , Valderrama Camilo , Kauhanen Jussi
Published: April 2022

Syria has experienced armed conflict since 2011, and the provision of health care has been severely compromised due to the hostilities. At the time of writing, Northwest Syria (NWS) was outside governmental control and faced the challenges of the COVID-19 outbreak. Since the emergence of this disease, several studies have looked at the dynamics of COVID-19 transmission, predicted its progression, and determined the impact of different preventive measures. While most of these studies’ settings were in stable contexts, this study investigated the progression of the COVID-19 pandemic in Northwest Syria, a conflict-affected region, for nine months (from July 2020 to March 2021) using the Suspected-Infected-Removed (SIR) model. We adjusted the SIR model to study the impact of wearing facial masks on the outbreak dynamics and progression. Based on available data and using the basic and adjusted SIR models, we estimated the value of the basic reproduction number (R0), which provides an initial prediction of disease progression. Using the basic SIR model, the estimated R0 for the first wave of SARS-CoV-2 in Northwest Syria was 2.38. The resulting figures were overestimated in comparison with the reported numbers and data on the COVID-19 pandemic. However, the results were significantly reasonable when we adjusted the model for a preventive measure (in this case, wearing face masks). Face masks, the most available preventive measure to be applied in emergency and conflict settings, remarkably affect the outbreak dynamics and may play a key role in controlling and limiting the spread of COVID-19. The novelty of the study is provided by simulating the progress of the COVID-19 outbreak in conflict settings, as it is the first study to predict the dynamics of COVID-19 disease in NWS by adjusting for face-mask-wearing as a preventive measure to explore its impact on outbreak dynamics.
Hebrew Matters
Authors: Lowin Joseph
Published: April 2022

Hebrew Matters is the third in a trilogy of books—following HebrewSpeak and HebrewTalk—that examines Hebrew roots, their derivations and their contexts, as they appear in the Hebrew Bible, Rabbinic Literature, Medieval Hebrew Poetry, and on the vibrant streets of the modern State of Israel. Each of the book’s 110 chapters is devoted to one Hebrew root and takes the reader on a journey through Jewish history, Jewish literature, and Jewish thought. The book is designed so that the reader will begin to understand how these roots have developed into a reborn living language, Modern Hebrew. Although the book deals seriously with Hebrew, each root is presented with a light touch, is spiced with a good measure of humor, and tells an interesting story or two on the way.

Akhlakul Karimah is one of the commendable akhlak that has been ordered by Islam and must be applied to the daily life of Muslims. The scope of Akhlakul Karimah is the relationship between humans and humans, humans with Allah, and humans with nature. In the application of Akhlakul Karimah to children, the figure of parents will be the main role in fostering a good attitude towards anyone because parents are the first educators for children and have a responsibility to their children to care for and provide good education, especially for their akhlak.

Um menino, uma árvore: representações sociais e repercussões para o ensino de literatura
Authors: Mendes Nataniel
Published: April 2022

Os processos pedagógicos formais que acontecem na escola não estão alijados das condições objetivas dos sujeitos envolvidos e dos discursos que circulam socialmente. Os enunciados que dão materialidade a esses discursos têm, cada vez mais, dado primazia ao indivíduo em detrimento do social e valorizado um “conhecimento útil”. Isso, para a educação, cria, artificialmente, uma cisão entre contexto e aprendizagem e ignora as múltiplas dimensões da vida. Pensando nisso, este ensaio traz algumas reflexões sobre o ensino de literatura na escola pública brasileira, sob a perspectiva da humanização (SAVIANI, 2008; CANDIDO, 1999, 2004). Os apontamentos têm como ponto de partida a análise de uma reportagem veiculada no programa Fantástico, da Rede Globo. O percurso argumentativo defende a tese de que as condições objetivas dos alunos da rede pública de ensino, a sublimação artificial de desafios coletivos em histórias de superação e de mérito individual e o ultrapragmatismo contemporâneo na pesquisa e nos documentos que balizam a educação colaboram para a valorização do aluno empírico e o apagamento do ser concreto. Por conseguinte, fragilizam-se o ensino de literatura, o processo de humanização e a formação de professores.

Os Invisíveis
Authors: Da Silva Wellington Amancio
Published: April 2022

Este conto anuncia um caso pretérito, mas que nos assusta por sua atualidade e proximidade, porque ocorre exatamente aqui e ali, sobretudo no universo dos outros. Esta narrativa é inspirada em fato reais, no contexto de Comunidades Atingidas por Barragens. É objetiva a linha temporal, dentro do que se permite a ficcionalização dos fatos e a transposição da “matéria histórica” pelas vias da epistemologia metafórica. Há elementos fantásticos, aqui e ali, como tentativa de melhor representar o absurdo. Há a descrição de subjetividades, apenas para acentuar a humanidade dos personagens, que somos, eu, vocês e eles. Esta história é uma grande metáfora sobre a “invisibilização” de pessoas, e uma alusão, na figura do professor Jasão de Amauri, à postura dos intelectuais diante dos acontecimentos cotidianos em que tais fatos ocorrem. Este conto é parte do livro "Narrativas do Abajur", lançado em 2021.
Letramento multimodal crítico em perspectiva decolonial
Authors: Pereira Adriana Dos Santos
Published: April 2022

Neste ensaio, problematizo a pesquisa de Mestrado cujas lacunas acerca da imagem da mulher nas charges analisadas e nos redesenhos produzidos por discentes de 9º anos só foram visibilizadas após incursões em leituras de base decolonial. Para tanto, dialogo com Grada Kilomba (2019), Oyèrónké Oyěwùmí (2019), Viviane Resende (2019) e Ramón Grosfoguel (2016) e constato o eurocentrismo nas estruturas de saber/poder/ser.

Uma análise crítica sobre livros didáticos de inglês e a literatura como recurso alternativo para uma educação decolonial
Authors: Mota-Pereira Fernanda
Published: April 2022

Comumente voltados à aprendizagem de conteúdos com fins comunicativos, livros didáticos de inglês como língua estrangeira nem sempre trazem à cena, de forma explícita e crítica, questões ideológicas que favoreçam uma perspectiva decolonial (MALDONADO-TORRES, 2019; MIGNOLO, 2018; OLIVEIRA, 2018; WALSH, 2018) do ensino de inglês e que tenham em tela o seu caráter ideológico (RAJAGOPALAN, 2004). Essas questões participam sub-repticiamente da composição de histórias únicas (ADICHIE, 2009), que atuam na construção de conceitos e preconceitos veiculados neles. Nessa construção, flagram-se tessituras discursivas ao lado de uma retórica de ausência – concebida a partir da noção de “formas de silêncio” (ORLANDI, 2007) –, que ora reforçam estereótipos, engendrados através do predomínio de uma visão hegemônica, ora promovem o apagamento de aspectos culturais que colocariam em cena a diversidade étnico-racial e sociocultural na língua inglesa, considerando os diversos países em que é falada. A partir dos pressupostos teóricos da Linguística Aplicada Crítica (PENNYCOOK, 2006; MOITA LOPES, 2006), sob o crivo metodológico da Análise Crítica do Discurso (MELO, 2018; VAN DIJK, 2015) e da Pesquisa Qualitativa Interpretativista (MOITA LOPES, 1994), este artigo tem o propósito de apresentar uma análise crítica de dois livros didáticos para o ensino de inglês como língua estrangeira. Conjugada a essa análise, apresenta alternativas para o desenvolvimento do pensamento crítico (HOOKS, 2010) através do uso de textos literários (BRUN, 2004; MOTA, 2010; PEREIRA, 2017) de contextos pós-coloniais com a finalidade de desconstruir uma retórica de produção de saberes de dicção unilateral e de matriz hegemônica.

A Língua Inglesa e a internacionalização do Ensino Superior: análise comparativa de duas instituições de países do BRICS
Authors: Rosa Tamara Angélica Brudna da , Araújo Maria Cristina de , Silva Kléber Aparecido da , Souza Vilton Soares de
Published: April 2022

O artigo reflete sobre as representações, práticas e percepções sociais da língua inglesa como língua franca em comunidades universitárias onde a internacionalização da educação superior surge como uma das grandes preocupações das universidades e de certas políticas de organismos internacionais (OCDE, Banco Mundial, Unesco) e agências nacionais (Capes, CNPq). Para além de pressupor a interculturalidade, a integração das pesquisas e dos conhecimentos, também se caracteriza como sendo um espaço de debates e embates entre atores do próprio campo e na intercessão dos campos sociais envolvidos. Nesses campos de disputa surgem discursos que revelam as diversas faces e peculiaridades da Língua Inglesa nas comunidades universitárias. O objetivo é analisar o sentido da Língua Inglesa que emerge dos documentos e práticas de duas instituições pertencentes ao BRICS. A pesquisa caracteriza-se como bibliográfica, documental, de corte analítico, comparada e também etnográfica. O universo da pesquisa é formado por duas universidades, sendo uma comunitária do Sul do Brasil e outra comunidade euro-asiática da Rússia, que são analisadas e comparadas a partir  dos seus documentos, destacadamente do Plano de Desenvolvimento Institucional (PDI), das suas políticas linguísticas e, em especial ,com foco no Plano Institucional de Internacionalização e nas práticas e representações sociais inter-relacionadas com a Língua Inglesa decorrentes dele. Em ambas as comunidades universitárias, fica evidenciado o entendimento de que a Língua Inglesa é atravessada por questões da internacionalização e é o caminho para a consolidação da pesquisa, do ensino e da extensão com vistas à competitividade e ao produtivismo global mesmo em contextos glocais diferenciados. Porém, em ambas as políticas institucionais de uso e aprendizagem da Língua Inglesa justapostas com a internacionalização são recentes e obedecem a normatividades legais de seus países, mas com discrepâncias em relação aos interesses da internacionalização. Vê-se que o fortalecimento das missões dessas universidades é atravessado por questões neocoloniais. Ainda é importante destacar que apenas uma universidade já conta com o Plano Institucional de Internacionalização bem consolidado e a outra está na fase inicial de implantação do mesmo.
Incompatibilidades intersemióticas em memes: um estudo a partir de resultados de tradução automática do inglês para o português
Authors: Simões Pedro Rezende , Pires Thiago Blanch
Published: April 2022

O objetivo deste trabalho é apresentar achados recentes acerca do uso de resultados do Google Tradutor em contextos multimodais. O desenvolvimento e avaliação de tradução automática frequentemente enfocam o componente linguístico, contudo há pouca exploração manual de relações texto-imagem em documentos multimodais. Assim, este trabalho busca descrever algumas relações texto-imagem em memes do inglês traduzidos automaticamente para o português. A metodologia envolve a seleção e análise de 100 memes, encontrados em páginas do Instagram e do Facebook e suas relações intersemióticas tanto em inglês (como texto-fonte) como em português (como texto-alvo). Dos memes analisados, 73% resultaram em traduções corretas, 17% tiveram erros sem qualquer tipo de incompatibilidade intersemiótica, e apenas 10% apresentaram um desvio linguístico que alterou a relação entre texto e imagem do meme. Desses 10% de incompatibilidades, emergiram amostras de incompatibilidades envolvendo, por exemplo i) palavras incorretas e relação aditiva; e ii) palavra desconhecida e homoespacialidade. Ao fim, os resultados encontrados demonstram que a tradução automática de alguns memes, cuja relação semântica entre texto e imagem compartilham maior congruência, apresentam um número maior de incompatibilidades em comparação com aqueles em que isso não acontece.
Influence of Quality on Manufacturing Processes in Enterprises from the Perspective of Generating Value Added
Authors: Kostiuk Yaroslava
Published: April 2022

Objective - In the current dynamic and competitive business environment, in the age of Industry 4.0, implementation of the overall quality management enables enterprises to expand their markets and at the same time to adjust to new conditions of global trade. The objective of the paper submitted is to determine the impact of qualitative processes in the manufacturing environment on the process added value and added value for customers. Methodology – In the research, the method of Value Stream Map (VSM) was used, and the extended method of Quality Value Stream Map (QVSM). The research was focused on manufacturing operations, where the emphasis is put on the parameter of quality in a model enterprise environment in the sector of mass production. Findings – The main output of the research was to determine the parameters which significantly affect the corporate manufacturing process in terms of its quality. The research also aimed to create a current Value Stream Map identifying the key manufacturing operations, in which quality contributes most to the creation of value-added. Novelty – Empirical results indicate that there is a difference between the analysis of the process added value and the analysis of added value for customers. It has been confirmed that at the time of Industry 4.0, SMEs still underestimate the importance of quality-related activities compared to large enterprises. It has been found that quality-related operations as such participate indirectly in the generation of added value in the manufacturing process but optimization and innovation of quality-related activities within the manufacturing process may indirectly add value to the main (value-generating) processes. Type of Paper - Empirical Keywords: Quality Value Stream Map, Value Stream Map, Quality Management, Added Value For The Customer, Production Process. JEL Classification: M2, O3, R1.

Authors: Pozdnyakova Polina , Chichanovskaia Lesya , Sorokovikova Tatiana , Morozov Artem
Published: April 2022

— Relevance: Cornelia de Lange syndrome is a rare congenital disorder associated with orphan diseases and is characterized by multiple stigmas of dysembryogenesis at birth. This syndrome occurs in newborns with a frequency of 1: 30,000 to 1: 10,000; there are no gender differences in the frequency of occurrence. Cornelia de Lange syndrome is a dominantly inherited disease, but most cases are sporadic de novo, therefore, mainly children with Cornelia de Lange syndrome are born from genetically healthy parents. Purpose: Using the example of a clinical case, to demonstrate the characteristic features of the clinical picture, namely the phenotype and deviations of the neurological status in Cornelia de Lange syndrome. Materials: Girl M., born in 2018, at the age of 1 year 11 months, together with her mother, was admitted to the Center for Pediatric Neurology and Medical Rehabilitation No. 2 in Tver, Russia.

— Introduction: Heart failure patients have frequent hospitalization leading to decreased quality of life and life expectancy. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the prognostic value of urinary creatinine test in immunecompromised patients with systolic heart failure. Material and methods: This tudy was counducted on 122 patients hospitalized in Urmia. The inclusion criterion was according to cardiac EF obtained from echocardiography and patients with EF less than 45% were considered. In the morning, urine samples were taken from them and the amount of urinary creatinine and other parameters were registered. Results: According to the Pearson correlation test, there was no significant relationship between body weight, height, and body mass index with urinary creatinine, but there was no significant relationship between urinary creatinine and serum creatinine (p>0.05). There is a positive and significant relationship between urinary creatinine level and GFR. There is also a significant relationship between diastolic blood pressure and urinary creatinine. Conclusion: The results of the present study indicate the importance of paying attention to urinary creatinine as an effective underlying factor in predicting the symptoms of heart failure.
A unique case of Nodular Fasciitis in the Submandibular gland mimicking pleomorphic adenom
Authors: Chen Itay , Pierr Attal , Kozlova Daria , Sichel Jean-Yves
Published: April 2022

— Aim: Nodular fasciitis (NF) is a rare entity responsible for 0.0025% of tumors in the head and neck, to our knowledge; there has been no report in the literature of NF infiltrating the submandibular gland. Through a case of a 29-year-old woman we will discuss the histology and imaging of NF in the submandibular gland and its resemblance to pleomorphic adenoma (PA). Case description: Our patient presented with rapid growth of the right submandibular gland over a 6-month period. Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology suggested PA, nonetheless, mesenchymal origin could not be excluded. MRI strengthened the diagnosis of PA wherein the lesion appeared hyper-intense on T2, hypo-intense on T1 and enhanced with gadolinium. Right submandibulectomy was performed and the histopathological report compatible with NF Conclusion: NF is a self-limited benign process that does not always require surgical removal while PA is a benign tumor treated with surgical resection. Differentiating between these two pathologies is important since surgery can be avoided with a diagnosis of NF. Currently, there is no non-invasive modality that can provide a definite diagnosis of NF in salivary glands. It is important to exhaust our diagnostic possibilities and regard scarcer etiologies in order to achieve the most favorable outcome for the patients.

The results of treatment in 821 patients were analyzed, each of them was assigned to one of 4 groups depending on the tactics of surgical intervention: group 1 — electrical cardioversion was performed, group 2 — pacemaker implantation (DDD) and pharmacological cardioversion; 3rd group — electrical cardioversion and pacemaker implantation; and the 4th group — RFA was performed. After the treatment, a decrease in EDV was revealed by 18.7% in the 1st group, 13.7% in the 2nd group, 19.65% in the 3rd group and 11.3% in the 4th group. An increase in the SD was observed: by 14% in the 1st group, 5.6% in the 2nd group, 10.9% in the 3rd group and by 3.65% in the 4th group, as well as an increase in EF by 48% in the 1st group, 17.5% in group 2, 29.76% in group 3 and 4.5% in group 4. Thus, left ventricular remodelling is feasible after restoration of sinus rhythm after persistent atrial fibrillation.

The diagnostic significance for levels of alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and intestinal alkaline phosphatase (IAP) and their ratio in blood serum and intestinal contents were compared to assess the degree of acute enteral insufficiency in urgent surgical pathology complicated by peritonitis. The results of examination of 112 patients with acute surgical pathology complicated by peritonitis were retrospectively analyzed. Biochemical data were compared with clinical and instrumental data obtained by ultrasonography and Doppler flowmetry. The main statistical indicator was Spearman's rank correlation coefficient, which showed a moderate direct correlation in patients with stage I and II enteral insufficiency (r=0.63 at p≤0.05), and in the group with st. III it showed a direct correlation with a high closeness of association (r=0.71 at p≤0.05). The IAP/ALP ratio makes it possible to objectively assess the severity of acute intestinal failure in urgent surgery

Aim: to study the results of surgical treatment of central diabetes insipidus and panhypopitoriourism. Materials and methods: The medical records of patients operated on at the Clinical Center for Andrology and Endocrine Organ Transplantation were studied. All patients underwent allotransplantation of the pituitary gland or hypothalamic-pituitary complex on vascular connections. The maximum follow-up period of patients was 18 years. Results: In all patients in the postoperative period, positive dynamics was noted, manifested in a decrease in thirst and diuresis, an improvement in general condition with an increase in the specific gravity of urine. Conclusions: As a result of the study, it was once again confirmed that in the absence of the effect of conservative therapy, patients with central diabetes insipidus and panhypopituarism are recommended for transplantation of pituitary gland or hypothalamic-pituitary complex on vascular connections. In the postoperative period, all patients should be prescribed immunosuppressive therapy and local X-ray irradiation.

One of the problems of modern oncology is the lack of timely diagnosis of synchronous forms of colorectal cancer. Therefore, the aim of this study was to evaluate the structure of synchronous primary multiple forms of colorectal cancer. Methods: We analyzed the results of colorectal cancer diagnostics (n = 583) in the period 2010–2019. We did not include patients with metachronous colorectal cancer in the study. The average age of all patients was 71.6 ± 7.4 years. There were 1.5 times more men than women. Results: Synchronous colorectal cancer was detected in 171 (29.3%) patients. With synchronous primary multiple forms of colorectal cancer, 2 tumors were diagnosed in every second patient. In synchronous colorectal cancer, tumors were localized twice as often in the colon (n = 118) than in the rectum (n = 53). Conclusions: In patients with colorectal cancer, synchronous tumors occur in every third case. Synchronous colorectal cancer is more common in men. In the majority of patients (59.1%), synchronous colorectal cancer was detected within 6 months after imaging of the primary tumor.

Purpose: to optimize the diagnostic method for detecting neoplasms of the oral mucosa. Materials and methods: The study group included 32 people with lesions of the oral mucosa: lichen planus — 17; chronic mechanical injury (decubital ulcer) — 15. The authors have proposed a method for diagnosing erosive and ulcerative elements of the oral mucosa, which consists in staining pathological foci with a 1% solution of tuloidine blue followed by autofluorescence imaging. The effectiveness of autofluorescence imaging by «AFS» stomatoscope, staining and a combination of two methods in visualizing the boundaries of precancerous lesions of the oral mucosa was determined. Results and discussion: The technique of autofluorescence imaging by «AFS» stomatoscope, in 63.7% incorrectly diagnosed patients with cancer of the oral mucosa, in addition, 27.3% did not reveal malignant neoplasms. Marking the lesion elements with a 1% toluidine blue solution and their illumination with autofluorescence imaging, made it possible to establish a dark glow zone in those cases (27.3%) when imaging did not identify the pathological focus as an area without fluorescence. In all patients with malignant neoplasms of the oral mucosa diagnosed by autofluorescence imaging with staining, a truly positive result was confirmed by morphometric data. Conclusion: Autofluorescence imaging with staining has a high sensitivity and specificity of 100%, and is 2 times more effective than autofluorescence imaging in the diagnosis of dysplasia of erosive and ulcerative elements of the oral mucosa.
MATHEMATICAL ANALYSIS BASED STUDY OF DENTAL IMPLANT BIOMECHANICS WITH OCCLUSAL LOAD ON BONETISSUE

Published: April 2022

The article contains theoretical studies aimed at identifying the load and detecting the factors that have a negative impact on implants. One of the reasons behind implant disintegration is bone tissue resorption, which is due to overload. Direct measurements of the oral cavity stresses affecting the tissues around the implants are basically impossible. The purpose here is to choose the optimal inclination of the implant in relation to the vertical axis in view of mismatch of the mandibular and maxillary alveolar arches. The study here employed the finite element method (FEM) relying on the universal FEM ANSYS package. Three patterns have been identified. First, the dependence of the destructive force on the bone tissue on the implant inclination angle (up to 5° — it is twice as low compared to the initial value, and above 20° — it becomes destructive). Second, the implant deviation in the transversal plane results in a greater decrease in strength, compared to its deviation in the sagittal plane. Third, the greatest destruction resulting from the stress-strain bone tissue status is observed in the cortical, and not in the spongy bone. The study allows proper selection of implants, their installation options, as well as scientifically reliable forecast of the respective long-term outcomes.
La (re)producción de jerarquías de género en los medios: la resemantización de Jorge Rial en la televisión abierta argentina
Authors: Sciurano Guido Alejo , Rubinstein Iván Facundo
Published: April 2022

El presente artículo tiene como objetivo la descripción y el análisis de los procesos de resemantización en el campo mediático argentino, que operan como mecanismos reproductores de la jerarquía de género. Es previsible que, en un contexto caracterizado a escala regional y global por la efervescencia de los movimientos de mujeres y de diversidad sexual, aquellos que ocuparon tradicionalmente un lugar de preeminencia en los medios de comunicación masiva busquen adaptarse a las nuevas reglas de juego. Por consiguiente, se pone en marcha un proceso de resemantización que, sin embargo, no está exento de resistencias y contramarchas. Con el fin de describirlo, el artículo aborda el caso del conductor televisivo argentino Jorge Rial.
¿Puede la semiótica decir algo sensato sobre el feminismo?
Authors: Violi Patrizia
Published: April 2022

Los conceptos semióticos acerca de la subjetividad —el sujeto narrativo y el sujeto de la enunciación— no permiten pensar la subjetividad sexuada que interesa al feminismo. Se refieren a sujetos abstractos, nunca corporeizados. Sin embargo, el concepto de praxis enunciativa tiene en cuenta el conjunto de los estereotipos discursivos que se manifiestan en las enunciaciones individuales y que son componentes constitutivos de la subjetividad. La semiótica coincide con el feminismo en pensar el cuerpo como lugar donde se superponen determinaciones materiales, simbólicas y sociales, pero la teoría feminista introduce la corporalidad en una reflexión sobre los procesos de construcción de las múltiples y diversas alteridades que atraviesan a los sujetos. Aporta así un pensamiento crítico para el cambio de las relaciones entre géneros, especies y mundo que la semiótica no puede ignorar.
Me gritaron negra: el cuerpo femenino en el cancionero latinoamerican
Authors: Cornavaca María Trinidad
Published: April 2022

Este escrito propone un análisis con una perspectiva sociosemiótica del poema rítmico Me gritaron negra (1940), de la autora afroperuana Victoria Santa Cruz, para articular diálogos conflictivos y tensos con la actualidad de los movimientos y las luchas feministas en su heterogeneidad latinoamericana. El texto parte de una historia mínima y local que recoge una problemática comunitaria de las identidades afrolatinoamericanas y construye una potente propuesta sentipensante, rebelde y transmoderna que ofrece lógicas analíticas y políticas alternativas a las eurocentradas. La lucha por el significado del cuerpo/memoria de la mujer negra pone de manifiesto la importancia de la interseccionalidad constitutiva de una corp/oralidad femenina en resistencia en que se articulan aspectos de raza, clase y género.
Teorie di Genere. Femminismi e semiotica. “Prefacio a la nueva edición”. Milano, Bompiani, 2019*
Authors: Demaria Cristina
Published: April 2022

Este ensayo es la traducción de parte del prefacio a la nueva edición y del capítulo introductorio de Teorie di genere. Femminismi e semiotica, enteramente revisado -desde el título- y en parte reescrito, después de casi veinte años de su primera publicación. Tras subrayar la importancia, la actualidad y también la urgencia de seguir ocupándose de la categoría de género y de las perspectivas feministas que en el último medio siglo la han adoptado, discutido y revisado para seguir denunciando, deconstruyendo e indagando las narraciones y discursos que determinan nuestra subjetividad, se dedica amplio espacio al debate crítico y teórico que ha transformado el significado y el alcance de esta categoría, en su entrelazarse con otras variables que participan en la definición de nuestra identidad y en sus representaciones. Centrándose en algunas de las posiciones que hoy animan el campo de los feminismos (no casualmente en plural) que se ha desarrollado sobre todo en el área angloamericana, el ensayo trata de delinear algunos de los puntos de contacto entre el estudio de los modelos y las representaciones de género y el análisis semiótico: desde el modo en que se pueden describir las posiciones de los sujetos respecto a las praxis enunciativas y a las estrategias discursivas que determinan el reconocimiento y la adopción de modelos de género, a la categoría de mirada (“masculina” y “femenina”), hasta el modo en que el cuerpo, las pasiones y las formas de vida entran hoy de lleno en la definición de las culturas, de sus diferencias y confines, tanto internos como externos, que como individuos y como miembros de una o más comunidades, producimos y traducimos incesantemente.
