Pollution, a pervasive environmental issue, poses significant threats to ecosystems, biodiversity, and human health. This article provides a comprehensive overview of the various types of pollution, including air, water, soil, and chemical pollutants, and their detrimental effects on ecological systems. The study examines the pathways through which pollutants enter and accumulate in the environment, leading to disruptions in ecological balance, loss of biodiversity, and degradation of natural habitats. The article also explores the intricate connections between pollution and climate change, emphasizing how pollutants such as greenhouse gases exacerbate global warming and contribute to long-term ecological damage. In response to these challenges, the article outlines a range of strategies for mitigating environmental damage caused by pollution. These strategies include advancements in pollution control technologies, such as catalytic converters and air purification systems, as well as policy interventions aimed at reducing emissions and promoting sustainable practices. The role of ecological restoration techniques, such as bioremediation and reforestation, in reversing pollution-induced damage is also discussed. Furthermore, the article highlights the importance of international cooperation and regulatory frameworks in addressing transboundary pollution issues and ensuring the effective implementation of mitigation strategies. By integrating scientific research with practical solutions, this article provides a valuable resource for environmental scientists, policymakers, and conservationists seeking to understand and mitigate the ecological consequences of pollution. The study underscores the urgency of adopting comprehensive and coordinated approaches to pollution management to protect and restore the health of our planet's ecosystems.

The results of a study of the current activity of technogenic isotopes in the coastal zone of the Alexandra Land island of the Franz Josef Land archipelago are presented. Samples of sea water, algae, bottom sediments, soil and vegetation were taken during an expedition carried out under the auspices of the Northern Fleet and the Russian Geographical Society in August and September 2023. In the marine environment and littoral macrophytes, the content of technogenic 137Cs is gradually decreasing in comparison with the indicators of the previous period 2000–2010. In the terrestrial ecosystem, the distribution 137Cs is mosaic; the highest specific activity is found in soils (up to 71.4 Bq/kg). In single samples, the presence of the short-lived isotope 134Cs was noted, which is an indicator of relatively recent atmospheric fallout in the Arctic.

Published: October 2024

The article presents a methodology for numerical modeling of determining the values of conditional probabilities of hitting air targets when firing a missile with a combat vehicle's television optical sight. The conditional probabilities of hitting air targets are associated with the sloping range to the far limit of the kill zone of an anti-aircraft missile system. The effectiveness of the use of an anti-aircraft missile system with a television optical sight depends on the plane of air targets, the picture plane of firing, and the conditions of missile firing. The following factors were taken into account in the modeling: the color of air targets, the meteorological range of atmospheric visibility, the quality of combat performance of the combat vehicle personnel, and sunlight. The calculations take into account the technical characteristics of the stations and systems of the combat vehicle and missile. The values of the first kind of missile firing errors are presented, namely, the systematic components of the first kind of missile firing errors and their standard deviations of errors depending on the far limit of the kill zone of the anti-aircraft missile system.
It is shown that the systematic component of the dynamic first-order missile firing errors increases due to the maneuvering of air targets, provided that the standard deviation of the first-order missile firing errors during the maneuvering of air targets remains unchanged. The values of the standard deviations of the first kind of missile firing errors depending on the far limit of the kill zone of the anti-aircraft missile system are given, taking into account the influence of interference on the combat vehicle's reconnaissance radar station and optical interference on the channel of the combat vehicle's television optical sight. The parameters of the first kind of missile firing errors, i.e., the values of the probabilities of the missile passing through the “tube” of the required radius of operation of the missile's radio fuse, were found. The values of the second kind of missile firing errors, namely the conditional probabilities of the missile's radio fuse, are considered. The mathematical expectation of the random value of the radius of the missile's radio fuse, which corresponds to air targets under the specified conditions, is established. The values of conditional probabilities of hitting various air targets under various conditions of firing at the far edge of the kill zone of the anti- aircraft missile system are analyzed and calculated. The obtained analytical expressions for the numerical modeling technique and the corresponding graphical material are presented.

Entrepreneurial innovation: The sustainable ventures of Human Development Credit beneficiaries
Authors: Granizo Ximena , Delgado Carlos
Published: October 2024

This research article is developed in the socioeconomic context of the province of Chimborazo where the beneficiaries of the Associative Human Development Credit (HDC) present entrepreneurial intentions. The methodology used presents a quantitative research design of an explanatory type, with a causal and cross-sectional approach since it aims to measure the degree of a causal relationship between the indicators that influence the construction of entrepreneurial behavior and the entrepreneurial intention that arises in people who receive the HDC in the province of Chimborazo; a questionnaire was applied to a sample of 260 beneficiaries and subsequently, a structural equation model was implemented with the theory of planned action (TPA). The findings support each hypothesis, demonstrating their relevance and validity in the context of the study. Personal attitude emerges as a determining factor, with a considerably high t-statistic (4.563) and a p-value of 0.000, indicating a robust and significant relationship with entrepreneurial intention. Perceived control also shows a significant influence on entrepreneurial intention with a t-statistic of 2.157 and a p-value of 0.015. In contrast, social norms do not seem to have a significant impact, as indicated by the low t-statistic (0.401) and a p-value of 0.641. This result points to the fact that beliefs about social approval are not determinant in the decision to undertake in this specific context of sustainable ventures. It is concluded that the TPA structural equation model is suitable for predicting the factors influencing entrepreneurial intention.
POLYMORPHISM OF THE CYTOCHROME b POLYPEPTIDE IN THE TUNDRA VOLE (Alexandromys oeconomus Pallas, 1776) OF NORTHEAST RUSSIA AND ALASKA

Published: October 2024

A significant polymorphism of the complete amino acid sequence of the cytb polypeptide was found in A. oeconomus of Northeast Russia and Alaska. 29 cytb isoforms were found in representatives of the Central Asian phylogroup, and 15 ones – in the Bering phylogroup, differing in 30 amino acid substitutions. The amino acid substitution F333L pretends to be a genetic marker of the Bering phylogroup. The methods of Snit, Bachinsky, Grantsem and TreeSAAP analysis reliably confirm the conservative type of amino acid substitutions, which indicates the effect of stabilizing selection on the cytb enzyme in tundra voles. Convergence of the amino acid sequence of the cytb polypeptide during divergence of the cytb nucleotide sequence – isoform FEcbCA-1 encodes 21 and FEcbBr-1-26 cytb haplotypes with high values of molecular diversity indices is revealed. This indicates a significant polymorphism in the nucleotide sequences of cytb haplotypes encoding the same amino acid sequence of the polypeptide. The rapid change of generations in this species causes the emergence of many mutations. Degeneracy of the genetic code ensures that populations of different genotypes encoding the same vital phenotypes are fixed in the gene pool. Apparently, the most common isoforms of FEcbCA-1 and FEcbBr-1 in the tundra voles’ populations are functionally optimal for the species in the ecological conditions of Northeast Russia and Alaska.

According to the latest revision of the genus Microsomacanthus Lopez-Neyra, 1942 (Cestoda: Hymenolepididae), most parasites of ducks and gulls are assigned to two subgenera that differ morphologically and biologically: the nominative taxon M. (Microsomacanthus) and the new taxon M. (Leuckartсohnacanthus) Galkin, Regel, 2010. Species that have no place in these taxa remain, however, within the genus Microsomacanthus s. l. Molecular-genetic analysis of 9 Microsomacanthus species showed the presence in NJ-phylogenetic tree of nucleotide sequences of a fragment of the 18S rRNA gene of two clades. One of them is formed by 3 species of the subgenus M. (Microsomacanthus), another one – by 5 ones of M. (Leuckartсohnacanthus). Haplotype from Microsomacanthus s. l. arcuata differs significantly from representatives of both haplogroups. This confirms the existence of at least two subgeneric taxa within the genus Microsomacanthus, as well as the presence of species worthy of their own subgenus.

An important parameter characterizing the soil is biological activity, consisting of the interaction of living organisms of the soil with each other and the products of their vital activity. Biological activity, consisting of respiratory and enzymatic activity, gives an idea of the state of the soil. The activity of catalase, invertase, urease, as well as the intensity of basal respiration and the carbon content of microbial biomass were studied. All soils are characterized by a decrease in the activity of catalase, invertase down the profile, which is associated with a decrease in the content of water-soluble carbon. The change in the urease profile is not unambiguous and characterized by «average» activity. The intensity of basal respiration and the carbon content of microbial biomass decreases down the profile. A close relationship was obtained between basal respiration and microbial biomass carbon. Microbial biomass carbon correlates with the carbon content of water-soluble compounds.

The ability of many birds to perform long-distance migration is widely known. Besides, many birds are philopatric, i.e. they can return to their natal or former breeding site with great accuracy after migrating for many hundreds and thousands of kilometers. It necessitates the existence of the ability for true navigation in migrating birds, since the area to which they show fidelity is too small to be found by chance or by only crude mechanisms. In mid-20th century Gustav Kramer proposed the map and compass concept which postulates that a migrating bird (or any animal performing long-distance movements, for that matter) should have both a positioning system (a map) and a compass system. They are tightly linked but remain as two separate systems. Most students of avian navigation agree that migrating birds have three different compass systems: the Sun compass, the star compass and the magnetic compass. The mechanisms underlying the magnetic compass are most intriguing, still not fully understood, and, after all, they are the subject of many researches. Avian navigational maps seem to be based both on the geomagnetic field and on olfactory gradients. Olfactory maps of birds are the subject of many debates; with some good experimental evidence supporting their existence at least in homing pigeons and seabirds, but with some theoretical issues unresolved.

We compared the winter – early spring daily activity patterns of GPS-collared wolves in several habitats: the boreal mountain forest-tundra of the Kolyma, the deciduous forests of the East European Plain in the Kaluga region and the steppe of the northwestern Caspian region, all of them in Russia. Daily movements and average speed in the boreal mountain forest-tundra are similar to those in the forest, and are significantly lower, than in the steppe. The distribution of daily movement dynamics in the boreal mountain forest-tundra differs from those, of other natural zones: activity at night is minimal, which is associated with extremely low night temperatures.

During field studies in the eastern part of Kolguev Island (the Barents Sea, tundra zone), a number of samples was obtained describing the relationship between vegetation and patterned grounds. The type of vegetation is most noticeably influenced by its position in the microrelief. The thickness of organic horizons has little effect on the vegetation cover. At the same time, the share of cloudberries shows a greater connection with the humus horizon than with the peat horizon. A relatively small reduction in the granulometric composition of mineral soil horizons leads to the loss of shrubs and grasses in plant communities. The degree of gleyization of soils has little effect on vegetation.

The content of heavy metals (HM) in the Pyasina river basin decreases gradually moving from the industrial zone of Norilsk through the water area of Lake Pyasino and then downstream the Pyasina River. However, HM accumulation in the body of fish is also determined by their trophic status. The lowest concentrations of HM are recorded in planktivores fish (Coregonus peled) in comparison with higher levels in benthophages (Coregonus lavaretus); relatively high level of HM is registered in the body of predators (Esox lucius).
THE CRITICAL EFFECTECT OF JOINT RESEARCH BETWEEN RUSSIA AND NE CHINA ON CONSERVATION OF MIGRATORY LANDBIRDS IN THE EAST ASIAN FLYWAY
Authors: Xing X. X.
Published: October 2024

Climate change, habitat loss, landscape change and other forms of human-caused mortality have contribute to local bird population extinctions in many common bird species in the Anthropocence [1, 2], which will have negative effects on ecosystem functioning and services even before we investigate them [3]. The decline of migratory species has caused global conservation concern across the world’s major flyways [4], which has been well documented in North America [5] and Europe [6]. However, the migration ecology of East Asian landbirds is still inadequately known, though there are nearly 400 migratоry landbird species in this flyway which is the most diverse among all the world’s flyways [7]. The East Asia Flyway also supports the most diverse and highest number of threatened bird species like buntings (Emberizidae) and other longdistance migrants breeding in NE China, Russia and other European countries. In this presentation, I will take the critically endangered species of Yellow-breasted Bunting Emberiza aureola as an example, which is one of our joint research that collaborated with the ornithologists from Russia, and other Northeast Asia countries, to address (1) how important it is to integrate different researchers from NE Asian and particularly the joint collaboration between Russian and China, and (2) what can we do, if we want to understand the threats affecting species and their ecological requirements, by which the future conservation actions can also benefit other bird species facing similar threats.

Our study was conducted to improve quality and service in our intensive care unit. A survey was conducted to evaluate the satisfaction of the relatives of patients receiving treatment.
Methods: The satisfaction of the relatives of the patients who were treated for at least 3 days in the 3rd Step general intensive care unit at Mardin Training and Research Hospital between 01. February 2023 and 01. June 2023 was evaluated in line with the surveys. A questionnaire was given to each patient’s relative by the attending physician to be filled out.
Results: 114 patient relatives participated in the study. 12 patient relatives did not agree to fill out the survey. 102 patient relatives filled out the satisfaction survey.
Conclusion: Waiting room in intensive care unit conditions need to be improved. In our study, we think that patient relatives have confidence in the treatments applied to their patients and are satisfied with the skills and abilities of doctors and nurses.
Meningomyelocele defect report: surgical technique selection
Authors: Besnek Atakan
Published: October 2024

Aims: Surgical repair of meningomyelocele is important in terms of infection, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leakage, and preservation of neural structures. While there are numerous techniques available for repair, there are few guidelines on when flap repair should be performed. In this study, we employed a method to select the surgical technique.
Methods: Thirty-two patients with meningomyelocele who underwent surgery were included in the study. The decision to use or not to use a flap was based on the ratio of defect height to width and the ratio of the axillary line to defect width.
Results: Fasciocutaneous transposition flap (FTF) repair was performed in 17 patients, whereas primary repair was performed in 15 patients. There was no statistically significant difference between the groups in terms of preoperative characteristics of the patients. In the FTF group, one patient experienced necrosis at the wound site, and one patient developed a cerebrospinal fluid fistula. In the primary repair group, necrosis was observed in one patient, CSF fistula developed in two patients, and central nervous system infection developed in one patient. No statistically significant difference was found between the groups in terms of complications.
Conclusion: The results obtained in the present study suggest that the shape of the defect and the ratio of intact tissue to defect size are more important than the size of the defect itself in achieving appropriate tension during repair. By employing the patient selection guidelines we achieved successful outcomes using a different flap technique.

Se espera que resulte útil para evaluar otras iniciativas público-comunitarias de cuidado y contribuya a promover la cultura evaluativa en las instituciones.
Mayores, círculos de cuidados y territorio. Entramados de cuidados en barrios vulnerables de Madrid
Authors: Barañano Cid Margarita , Uceda Navas Pedro
Published: October 2024

Los cuidados que involucran a personas mayores en barrios vulnerables madrileños se ven favorecidos por la permanencia prolongada de este grupo etario en esos espacios y por la existencia en ellos de entramados más amplios de esta actividad, tanto de recepción de cuidados como de provisión y de preocupación por su realización. La circulación de cuidados incluye sus hogares y también otros soportes vecinales y barriales. Mediante un análisis cualitativo, se constata que los cuidados familiares están más presentes en las narrativas referidas a los barrios más periféricos y envejecidos, con más permanencia y vivienda en propiedad.
Measuring achievements: Can cohesion policy programmes eﬀectively monitor their performance?
Authors: Molica Francesco , Santos Anabela , Conte Andrea
Published: October 2024

The paper investigates the ability of Cohesion Policy programmes to deﬁne accurate policy outputs and to reliably monitor their own performance through accurate indicators. Speciﬁcally, the analysis explores the extent to which indicators and output targets set by ERDF programmes for monitoring and evaluation purposes are revised over time, seeking to identify speciﬁc patterns related to diﬀerent areas such as spending categories, typology of regions, etc. Our ﬁndings highlight signiﬁcant challenges faced by programmes in establishing realistic targets, as frequent and substantial changes are introduced to a vast majority of them. However, we also observe that only a small proportion of indicators is modiﬁed over time, suggesting relative stability in the overall objectives of programmes. The paper provides useful evidence for the ongoing debate on whether adopting a fully-performance based model, where access to funds is contingent upon achieving results/outputs, would enhance the eﬃciency and eﬀectiveness of Cohesion Policy.
Beatrice Unbound: Adaptations of Shelley’s
The Cenci
Authors: Cox Jeffrey N.
Published: October 2024

This essay considers three twentieth-century re-imaginings of Shelley’s
The Cenci
: Artaud’s play
Les Cenci
, Bernold Goldschmidt’s opera
Beatrice Cenci
, with a libretto by Martin Esslin, and both the play and opera versions of
Beatrice Chancy
by George Elliot Clarke with music by James Rolfe. Shelley and his adaptors in thinking through the figure of Beatrice take up what Shelley sees as the struggle of “oppressor to the oppressed.” Shelley writing during the reactionary restoration after the Napoleonic Wars, Artaud writing between the World Wars, Goldschmidt composing as a refugee from the Nazis, and Clarke seeking to illuminate the practice of slavery within Canada, all explore both oppression’s devastating impact and the possibility of a resistance to tyranny. Artaud’s version, which places Count Cenci as father at its center, altered the reception of Shelley’s play, influencing later adaptations and even the way we read Shelley’s play itself. In the end, that Shelley offers the most radical and ultimately feminist vision of a way beyond the patriarchal society that ensnares all these various Beatrices.
The impact of executive team competency-sharing degree on firm innovation performance
Authors: Shao Yueting , Qu Liang , Liu Pengzhen , Ding Ling
Published: October 2024

In China’s high-quality development context, the key role of executive teams in corporate innovation is increasingly prominent. However, effectively utilizing the synergistic effect of competencies within these teams to boost innovation performance remains a crucial research issue. A sample of 2,350 companies in Shanghai and Shenzhen A-shares from 2010 to 2022 was used to examine the impact of the executive team’s capability-sharing degree on firm innovation performance. The study indicates that the degree of managerial competence sharing, entrepreneurial competence sharing, and technological competence sharing within the executive team positively impacts firm innovation performance. These findings remain robust in the face of variations in dependent variable measures, lagged independent variables, and the propensity score matching method. Environmental dynamism is identified as playing a positive moderating role in the relationship between the influence of managerial, entrepreneurial, and technological capability-sharing degrees and firm innovation performance. Further analysis of heterogeneity reveals that the impact of the executive team’s capability-sharing degree on firms’ innovation performance varies based on the nature of property rights, firm size, and industry competitiveness. This study, grounded in top-level ladder theory, offers a framework for enhancing team capabilities and overcoming growth obstacles through executive team competence sharing.
Morphological and phylogenetic analyses reveal eight novel species of Pestalotiopsis (Sporocadaceae, Amphisphaeriales) from southern China
Authors: Luo Xing-Xing , Liao Ming-Gen , Zhang Kai , Castañeda-Ruíz Rafael F. , Ma Jian , Xu Zhao-Huan
Published: October 2024

Plants play an important role in maintaining the ecological balance of the biosphere, but often suffer from pathogenic fungi during growth. During our continuing mycological surveys of plant pathogens from terrestrial plants in Jiangxi and Yunnan provinces, China, 24 strains of Pestalotiopsis isolated from diseased and healthy tissues of plant leaves represented eight new species, viz. P. alpinicola, P. camelliicola, P. cyclosora, P. eriobotryae, P. gardeniae, P. hederae, P. machiliana and P. mangifericola. Multi-locus (ITS, tef1-α and tub2) phylogenetic analyses were performed using maximum-likelihood and Bayesian inference to reveal their taxonomic placement within Pestalotiopsis. Both molecular phylogenetic analyses and morphological comparisons supported them as eight independent taxa within Pestalotiopsis. Illustrations and descriptions of these eight taxa were provided, in conjunction with comparisons with closely related taxa in the genus. This work highlights the large potential for new fungal species associated with diseased plant leaves.

Abstract

Berdmore’s narrow-mouthed frog, Microhyla berdmorei (Blyth, 1856), is the largest member of the genus Microhyla and is distributed all over Southeast Asia, from Northeast India and southern China to Sumatra and Borneo in Indonesia. Here we demonstrate that M. berdmorei represents a complex of four species that are morphologically, acoustically, and genetically distinct from each other, and we implement taxonomic revisions. Phylogenetic analyses of three mitochondrial DNA (hereafter mtDNA, including COI, 12S, and 16S rRNA; 3119 bp) and one nuclear (BDNF; 716 bp) gene sequences are corroborated by phylogenomic analyses of 2700 ddRAD-seq loci (387,270 bp). All support that the M. berdmorei complex, which originates from the early Miocene (ca. 19.7 mya), consists of two clades that we date to the late Miocene (ca. 7.5 mya). The first clade, which regroups populations of large-sized individuals, is distributed in Indo-Burma and includes a lineage from Northeast India, Bangladesh, and Myanmar (M. berdmorei sensu stricto) and a lineage from West Malaysia, Thailand, Laos, Cambodia, and Vietnam (for which we propose to resurrect the species M. malcolmi Cochran, 1927). The second clade, which regroups populations of small-sized individuals, occurs in Sundaland and also includes two lineages for which we provide taxonomic descriptions on species rank. The first new species is widely distributed from Peninsular Malaysia to the islands of Borneo and Sumatra (described herein as M. sundaicasp. nov.), while the second one is restricted to the Malay Peninsula and occurs in extreme southern Thailand and adjacent Malaysia (M. peninsularissp. nov.). We further provide evidence for the synonymy of Callula natatrix Cope, 1867 with M. berdmorei sensu stricto, and M. fowleri Taylor, 1934 with M. malcolmi. Our study illustrates the high diversity of Southeast Asian amphibians, especially in the genus Microhyla, which presently totals 54 species.
Les formes de discours rapporté : repérage et interprétations
Authors: Charles Lise , Fleck Frédérique , Sznajder Lyliane
Published: October 2024

Dans les textes imprimés d’Ancien Régime comme dans les manuscrits latins, le repérage des passages de discours rapporté est bien plus délicat que dans les textes modernes. Les formes demandant un travail interprétatif y sont plus courantes et posent à l’éditeur et au critique un certain nombre de problèmes.
Les discours directs non marqués dans les Épigrammes de Martial
Authors: Fleck Frédérique
Published: October 2024

Cette étude met en lumière la multiplicité des interprétations possibles de nombreuses épigrammes de Martial sur le plan de l’énonciation, du fait de l’absence de marques typographiques du discours direct dans les manuscrits latins. L’incertitude peut porter sur l’étendue des séquences identifiées comme du discours direct libre, sur leur attribution ou sur leur existence même.
Danse et littérature à l’époque impériale : autour de la pantomime
Authors: Schlapbach Karin
Published: October 2024

Ce chapitre explore la tension entre représentation et présence dans la discussion des composantes formelles de la danse chez Plutarque. Il s’avère que la deixis, cet élément décrit comme « non mimétique », ne se limite pas à l’action de montrer du doigt, mais comprend toute démonstration directe par le corps en mouvement. Le succès de la pantomime impériale, qui coexistait avec d’autres formes de danses (y compris la danse pure), contribue très probablement à la grande subtilité des débats sur la danse durant cette période. La dernière partie du chapitre se penche sur la danse romaine, tout aussi riche et variée que son pendant grec, pour montrer que certaines danses mettent en évidence leur caractère ambigu entre représentation et présence.
La viande de vache en tant qu’interdit alimentaire en Égypte
Authors: Cassier Charlène
Published: October 2024

According to ancient authors, not eating cow meat is a rule for Egyptians. However, the authors mentioning this rule raised different origins and observances. This paper aims at confronting Herodotus, Origen and Porphyry’s commentaries with Egyptian archaeological and textual sources, in particular, the religious concept of bw.t related to the cow. Actually, this rule was not absolute. Egyptians consumed cow meat yet the animal was generally avoided by virtue of its utility. However, in some regions of Egypt, cow meat seems to have been totally proscribed from food due to local beliefs.
Le lait dans l’Égypte ancienne : entre divin et quotidien
Authors: Pätznick Jean-Pierre
Published: October 2024

This contribution aims to understand in a lexicographic approach the cultural process how a daily product like milk and its food derivatives became a divine product in Ancient Egypt. It covers more than a thousand years, from the very first attestations of its consumption in the predynastic Hierakonpolis in Upper Egypt up to the representation of milking cows in the mastaba tombs of the Old Kingdom. Furthermore, this study deals also with the preservation methods of milk and its consumption in the daily life as well as with its place in the economy of Ancient Egypt whereas the oldest known epigraphic evidence show that this lexem seems to have undergone an evolution from mr—the bounded one— (2nd dynasty) to irṯ.t (4th-6th dynasty).Associated, among others, with the goddess Hathor in her form as a sacred cow since the 4th dynasty, milk was beyond no doubt her divine product and we can guess that milk become as such a regenerative product for the king and the dead, the truly revitalizing fountain of youth of this ancient civilization on the Nile river.
‘Spirit of Place’: Mungoshi’s Rolling World
Authors: Gray Rosemary
Published: October 2024

This paper cites Morrissey’s haiku as encapsulating D.H. Lawrence’s theory of ‘spirit of place’ in which each country has its own peculiar identity that shapes its inhabitants. It argues that Mungoshi’s work evokes this ‘spirit’, the distinctive, exclusive essence of Zimbabwe: the land and its people.
Re-Surfacing Through Palimpsests: a (False) Quest for Repossession in the Works of Mudrooroo and Alexis Wright
Authors: Král Françoise
Published: October 2024

Mudrooroo and Alexis Wright seem to have little in common. Mudrooroo belongs to the first generation of Australian Aboriginal writers and wrote many novels and critical studies as well as poetry. As for Alexis Wright, she wrote her first novel in 1997. Yet the landscapes they describe are characterized by the same tension between a homogeneous surface and sub-layers that criss-cross, overlap and surface, thus posing a threat to the apparent unity of colonial space. This essay addresses the issue of palimpsestic landscapes and characters as clues to pinpoint the specificities of Aboriginal aesthetics. It also focuses on the use of intertextual references as a means to subvert colonial discourse.
The Body and the Text Extra and Infra Textual Scars
Authors: Kwast-Greff Chantal
Published: October 2024

In the autobiographical text, the madwoman articulates a space from which to speak. The writing of madness is neither about introspection nor about escapism but is much more concerned with translating inner states. Autobiography functions like a mirror in which we see a Gestalt, a global image of our selves.
