Semantic Field "Catasprophe" in Alternative Worldviews: A Quantitative Dimension
Authors: O.S. Kolesnyk
Published: July 2024

The paper addresses language units that constitute semantic space "catastrophe" within alternative English-mediated worldviews. Designation units synonymic or contextually related to catastrophe / disaster, were chosen from the Web 2021 (enTenTen21) corpus suggested by the Sketch Engine and from the custom corpus of present-day rock lyrics processed via the Ant.Conc 3.5.8 tools. The content of the respective concept is considered through the prism of a logical model that addresses an entropic irrevocable transformation of an open system. He paper focuses on the comparative analysis of the space's composition in two worldview variants. The structure of the semantic space is identified as a field, i.e. a dynamic volumetric continuum that sports multi-level organization as well as each level's zonal segmentation. Special attention is paid to functional-semantic and semiotic properties of the space-field's components. The article employs an interdisciplinary approach that encompasses the myth-oriented semiosis theory and broad inter-systemic analogies ("M-logic").
Сognitive Dimension of the Word-forming Nest with Dialectal Vertices Yeden / Yeden (“єде́н / є́ден”): Logical Propositions
Authors: Kostryba Olha
Published: July 2024

In this article, a current task of modern derivatolofical studies is addressed – the cognitive structuring of derived words in denumerative word formation, grouped according to word-forming semantics, considering motivational relationships through the prism of divergent-convergent properties of the content of the generative word – the vertex of the word-formation nest.

The analysis was carried out on the basis of a word-forming nest with variational vertices belonging to the dialect layer of the lexicon – yeden /yeden (“еден / еден”). The specified motivational words are characterized by a polysemantic continuum, so they are characterized by differences in creative meanings both directly and indirectly deep into the word-forming nest. Such complex units of word-formation have the status of being divergent. Motivating relations in the dyad «the vertex of the word-forming nest – the denumerative» can record mental knowledge in the aspect of the linguo-cognitive approach to the analysis of linguistic phenomena: the genetic codes of the word-formation, preserved in the derivative, as well as the semantic increments present in the meaning structure of the derivatives are revealed. Analyzing the cognitive semantics within word-forming values, the elements of frame are established, the components of which are derivative units of modification and transposition types of derivation, namely: subframe, cognitive slot, verbalized slot, propositional structure, and two-component logical proposition.

The prospects of the research consist in the systematіc cognitive interpretation of derivatives based on various word-formation units, which lead the formatives that belong not only to the core, but also to the periphery of the motivational base, which will make it possible to comprehensively model the semantic positions of derived words, or more broadly, the mental manifestation of the word-formation level Ukrainian language.
Common Provisions between Preventive Measures and Bankruptcy Declaration in Kuwaiti Law (71/2020): A Comparative Study with Islamic Jurisprudence
Authors: Alajmi Abdulhadi M. A. , Mansour Mohammad Khalid
Published: July 2024

Objectives: This study examines the key provisions common to preventive measures against bankruptcy (preventive settlement and restructuring) and the declaration of bankruptcy in the Kuwaiti Bankruptcy Law (71/2020), comparing them with Islamic jurisprudence. Such is particularly relevant as many of these provisions received no treatment in the repealed articles (555-800) of the Commercial Law (68/80) or other Arab legislations, such as the Egyptian Law of Protective Reconciliation and Restructuring and Bankruptcy Declaration (11/2018).
Methodology: This study employs three methodologies: an inductive approach to collecting legal and jurisprudential material, a deductive approach to the provisions under investigation, and a comparative approach to these provisions and Islamic jurisprudence.
Findings: The study concludes that many of the shared provisions in the law are consistent with Islamic jurisprudence, while others differ. The application of these provisions may vary depending on the debtor's situation, whether they are bankrupt with debts exceeding assets or facing financial difficulties without entering bankruptcy.
Originality: This study is the first jurisprudential analysis of the shared provisions between bankruptcy and its preventive measures in Kuwaiti Bankruptcy Law. The study includes several recommendations for aligning the provisions of this law with Islamic jurisprudence.
ᶜIlm al-ikhtilāf in Modern Western and Muslim Studies of Juristic Disagreement–A Critical Analysis
Authors: Laabdi Mourad
Published: July 2024

The acknowledgment of juristic disagreement (ᶜilm al-ikhtilāf) as an independent field of Islamic law by Western historians of Fiqh and Uṣūl is over a century and a half old. Yet, there is still much ambiguity and confusion about this legal subarea, its history, its theories and methods, and its place in the emergence and development of Islamic law. This paper provides a critical reading of modern Western studies of ᶜilm al-ikhtilāf. It analyzes the ways in which Western scholars have conceived of this sub-science and visits key unresolved issues with a focus on the conceptual and methodological undertaking of ᶜilm al-ikhtilāf. Through its critical reading of modern Western studies of ᶜilm al-ikhtilāf, this paper mends two gaps in the examined scholarship: the conceptual confusion of the concepts of ‘ikhtilāf’ and ‘khilāf’ on the one hand, and the confusion of the genres of “ikhtilāf fiqhī” (juristic disagreement) and “jadal fiqhī” (juristic dialectics) on the other. The methodology employed in this study comprises a comprehensive and interdisciplinary approach, which bridges the realms of pre-modern and modern sources. It hinges on a meticulous analysis of both Muslim and Western studies of Islamic law, deliberately interweaving these two dimensions to provide a more holistic and nuanced perspective on the questions undertaken within this research. After close examination, it is observed that key distinctions made with regard to the science of ᶜilm al-ikhtilāf, such as between the concepts of ‘khilāf’ and ‘ikhtilāf’, are a modern invention that has no lexical precedent. According to this study, distinction is to be made between Fiqh-based, practical disagreements and Uṣūl-based, theoretical disagreements. This study contributes the first source reading of Western scholarship on the science of juristic disagreement. In addition, classifying ᶜilm al-ikhtilāf in terms of practical (Fiqh-based) and theoretical (Uṣūl-based) studies is an original reading.

Published: July 2024

This research aims to determine the effect of the substitution of coconut milk and porang tuber porridge and the addition of podang mango on the physicochemical and organoleptic quality of vegetable ice cream. The research used a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with two factors and two replications. Data analysis using ANOVA was continued with the Duncan multiple range test (DMRT) at a confidence level of 5%. The first factor is the substitution of porang tuber slurry for coconut milk (10:90 (A1), 20:80 (A2), 30:70 (A3)). The second factor is the concentration of podang mango (15% (B1), 20% (B2), 25% (B3)). Parameters observed include protein content, overrun, melting speed, color analysis, total dissolved solids, viscosity, fat content, dietary fiber, vitamin C, and organoleptic analysis including texture, aroma, color, and taste. The results of the treatment of porang tuber slurry substitution for coconut milk and the concentration of porang mango had a significant effect on protein content, total solids, overrun, melting time, and viscosity. The best treatment in this study was vegetable ice cream with the substitution of porang tuber slurry for coconut milk (30:70%) and the addition of podang mango (15%) with a protein content of 4.09%, fat content of 3.99%, the dietary fiber content of 4.38%, vitamin C of 26.27%, melting time 18.46 minutes, overrun of 23.09%, viscosity of 1685%, total solids of 38.07%, lightness of 64.60, redness of 47.70, yellowness of 79.21, and average hedonic value of color of 4.0, aroma of 3.67, taste 3.4, and texture of 3.7.
Forgive Me, Your Honour, For I Have Sinned
Authors: Mangelsen Jordan
Published: July 2024

This paper explores the use of rap lyrics in criminal trials across the United States and Great Britain. Rap is a multibillion-dollar industry and has soared in popularity since its inception. In recent years, rap lyrics have been used to ascertain guilt or innocence through the perceived meaning of the specific lyrics. However, there have been no advancements toward appreciating the cultural significance of rap or its status as a legitimate art form. The criminal justice system has favoured treating lyrics as confessions and fails to consider the nuance of the socio-historical context of the rap industry or the implications of the street code. This paper does not argue that all rap lyrics are either exclusively true or false; it instead argues that the uncritical approach to examining rap lyrics in the context of the criminal justice system has replicated systems of harm that have disproportionately affected young Black men.
From 'Mothers of the 'Nation' to 'Enemies of the State':
Authors: Balsdon Cori
Published: July 2024

This paper explores how the colonial construction of Indigenous women as ‘unfit’ mothers of ‘inferior’ status justifies state interference in their lives, perpetuates other harmful stereotypes within the public consciousness and blames Indigenous mothers for their life conditions. Sterilization is but one weapon used by the Canadian state to violate Indigenous women’s right to reproductive autonomy, both historically and at present. Recent Canadian reports investigate Indigenous women’s claims to forced tubal ligation procedures and how coercion within colonial institutions stripped them of their power and identity through the removal of choice. Multiple class-action lawsuits are currently underway in Canada, where the voices of Indigenous women who have suffered the intergenerational impacts of colonialism in their daily lives and at the hands of western medical institutions are demanding justice and recognition of their basic human rights. Despite at least five generations of state-directed violence against them, Indigenous mothers continue to resist colonization of their bodies, land, and communities. Through reconnecting to their past, present, and future, Indigenous mothers are remembering their inherent roles and responsibilities as mothers of the nation. They have never forgotten their power nor their role as protectors of their people. They have always resisted. I aim to amplify the voices of Indigenous women in a country that has silenced them for too long and acknowledge that I by no means am interpreting their work through my point of view – I am giving them the space they deserve.
Adea Eurydice the 'Warrior Queen'?
Authors: Smythe Anna
Published: July 2024

This paper examines whether or not Adea Eurydice, the teenage Queen of Macedon after the death of Alexander the Great, personally fought in the Battle of Euia. If she did, she would earn the title of ‘Warrior Queen.’ However, only three extant primary sources cover her involvement in this battle: Justin’s Epitome, Diocorus Siculus’ Library of History, and a fragment of Duris of Samos’ writing. All of these sources are contradictory and subject to Greek and/or Roman bias, necessitating further investigation into Adea Eurydice’s involvement in the Battle of Euia. Thus, I examine Adea Eurydice’s political life leading up to the battle and the historical precedent for elite Macedonian women fighting in wars. Then, I look at her Illyrian heritage on her mother’s side and how it may have affected her choice and ability to fight. This involves critically examining the Greek and Roman literary sources on Illyrian women and ‘Warrior Queens’ as well as their modern reception. To explore their validity, I analyze archaeological evidence of Illyrian women’s higher social status and of other Macedonian ‘Warrior Queens.’ Overall, I argue that Adea Eurydice had the ability, precedent, and willingness to fight at Euia, making her a ‘Warrior Queen.’

ANARQUISMO E LEI POR UMA ÉTICA PÓS-ANARQUISTA DA DESOBEDIÊNCIA
Authors: Pfeil Cello Latini
Published: July 2024

Este artigo usa a filosofia política do anarquismo para questionar criticamente os limites da autoridade legal, mostrando que a alegação da lei sobre obediência incondicional é, em última análise, injustificada. Aqui, recorro a Walter Benjamin para desmascarar os fundamentos violentos da autoridade legal, e para explorar respostas críticas e radicais a isso - através da noção de ‘greve geral do proletariado' de Georges Sorel e da noção correlata de ‘violência divina' de Benjamin, ambas interpretadas de uma forma notavelmente anarquista. No entanto, defendo que esta desconstrução das fundações ontológicas da lei pode ser direcionada para o próprio anarquismo. O anarquismo baseia a sua crítica à autoridade política e legal numa espécie de substrato orgânico, cientificamente verificável e moralmente legítimo, propiciando a base imanente para as relações comunitárias para além da lei. Como alternativa a esta abordagem fundacionalista, proponho aquilo a que se pode chamar um anarquismo ontológico, que perturba todas as ordens estabelecidas. Eu desenvolvo a partir disso um projeto político e ético anarquista ou, mais precisamente, pós-anarquista, que envolve uma contestação contínua da autoridade legal e das práticas coercitivas do poder estatal.

Published: July 2024

O artigo propõe uma análise das práticas discursivas conservadoras proferidas por Geisiane Freitas e Patrícia Silva em seu livro O que não te contaram sobre o movimento antirracista, adotando uma perspectiva contracolonial apresentada por Antônio Bispo dos Santos em A terra dá, a terra quer, compreendida a partir da analítica foucaultiana como um saber sujeitado, marcado pela biopolítica colonial brasileira. O texto foi organizado em duas seções: na primeira, foram apontados os referenciais teóricos e os procedimentos metodológicos mobilizados na análise, também discorrendo sobre as bases epistemológicas que sustentam tanto o saber conservador cristão e colonial quanto a perspectiva contracolonial e quilombola; enquanto na segunda parte, foi exposta uma análise do discurso conservador e cristão apresentado pelas autoras, construída a partir da noção de racismo de Estado amparado na analítica foucaultiana, bem como em uma perspectiva contracolonial que o compreende como cosmofobia.

Partindo de autores latino-americanos, bem como dos debates decoloniais/anticoloniais, oferecemos algumas chaves de entendimento sobre as implicações entre os regimes epistêmicos do que chamamos de "Ciência das Plantations" ou "Ciência do Extrativismo" e os emergentes conflitos socioambientais contra aqueles que se opõem à tradução da natureza em mero recurso, sinalizando para  os modos de saber e poder que constituem e sustentam a ecologia invasora do colonialismo e as zonas de conflitualidade produzidas por ela na era do Geontopoder. Apresentamos reflexões sobre as cosmopráticas biodiversificadoras, seu regime de conhecimento e ontologias relacionais e  sobre como a emergência climática pode ser lida por meio da articulação entre regimes de conhecimento, (cosmo)práticas de fazer mundos e governança de territórios no que diz respeito aos embates ontoepistemológicos e suas infraestruturas. Nossa pesquisa  debruça-se, por fim, sobre em que medida e de que formas diferentes regimes de conhecimento – da ciência e dos ditos “saberes tradicionais” – podem  (inter)atuar, em meio a cenários de disputas e conflitos sociotécnicos, no enfrentamento das múltiplas crises do presente.
LIBERDADE DE EXPRESSÃO EM TEMPOS DE ELEIÇÕES ENTRE O ONTEM E O HOJE

Published: July 2024

Liberdade de expressão corresponde ao direito de livre manifestação de pensamento, de informação e comunicação, ao mesmo passo que também se apresenta sua vontade e, não menos importante, do respeito nesse espaço, podendo gerar reparação em casos que ultrapassem um limite social. De toda sorte, quando em corrida eleitoral, tem-se um afrouxamento dos limites da liberdade de expressão para candidatos à eleição que estejam amparados em fatos verdadeiros. Noutro giro, a partir da sociedade de informação e do surgimento de fake news, desinformação e manipulação de indivíduos, especialmente por aqueles que pleiteam cargos públicos, estar-se diante de uma nova realidade, a qual traz problemas para a assecuração do direito em comento. Assim, utilizando-se de revisão bibliográfica e do método de abordagem dedutivo, busca-se demonstrar a existência de uma liberdade de ontem e outra de hoje, notadamente pela atuação estatal passar a ser de protetora para violadora do referido direito, culminando no enfraquecimento da democracia. Conclui-se que o direito à liberdade de expressão se encontra hoje corrompida pela ideia de tudo poder fazer e tudo poder falar. Essa situação causa empecilhos para a sustentação da democracia e da própria da dignidade humana.

Evaluating Tourist Dissatisfaction with Aspect-Based Sentiment Analysis Using Social Media Data
Authors: Viñán-ludeña Marlon Santiago , De Campos Luis
Published: July 2024

Tourism satisfaction is essential for encouraging tourists to stay longer, spend more and return. However, visitor dissatisfaction can also prove useful for understanding any shortcomings of a tourist destination, and Twitter, Instagram and TripAdvisor reviews might be able to provide an insight into tourist perceptions and experiences. This study examines the major causes of tourist dissatisfaction with a tourism destination using an aspect-based sentiment analysis approach to understand the key points of negative tweets, posts or reviews. We examined 19,340 tweets, 7,712 Instagram posts and 25,483 reviews about Granada in Spain in order to evaluate the negative user's perceptions, discover management-related problems and provide feedback to destination management organizations to enable them to improve their services and operations. Our work contributes to computational methods to address tourism (dis)satisfaction with a process to identify the most important entities (places), an algorithm to identify aspects and opinions, and the use of word-trees to show the most important aspect-opinion tuples. In practical terms, we provide to tourism industry professionals and managers, as well as travelers, with methods to identify the reasons for tourist dissatisfaction from available social media data, in such a way that managerial strategies or travel plans can be improved.

Published: July 2024

The application of marine biology courses cannot be separated from field practicum activities which are integrated with the main scientific pattern of Pattimura University, namely build nobleh marine, meaning that the marine biology lecture process is a goal of developing human resources. One of the competencies of marine biology courses which emphasizes is that students must understand the life of various types of marine invertebrates that live in each coastal water ecosystem and must also master how to observe and research various types of marine invertebrate life found in each zone of coast (intertidal zone and subtidal). The results of the findings of various types of marine invertebrates were carried out by diversity analysis, the results were 2.0 <H'=2.363836 ≤ 3.0, meaning the level of diversity was medium. The relative density of invertebrates on various substrates includes sand 25%, density on sandy gravel substrates 9.9%, muddy substrates 11.4%, coral substrates 15%. The distribution patterns of various types of invertebrates can also be explained according to the results of analyzes including (1) clustered distribution patterns occur in Crustacea (Emita sp, Harpiosquilla raphidae, Ocypoda cursor), Gastropoda (Nerita polita, Conus sponalis), Bivalvia (Venerupis corrugate), (2) The distribution pattern is uniformly occurs in invertebrates of Bivalvia (Anadara broughtonii, Mytilus trossulus, Tridacna rosewateri, Pinctada radiate), (Diadema setosum, Holothuria scabra), Gasropoda (Strombus decorus). Proving the truth of the concept or theory of various types of invertebrates in biology courses the truth of the sea has been tested through field practicums in the coastal waters of Salahutu District, Ambon Island

Published: July 2024

This study aims to determine students' mathematical critical thinking skills in terms of gender differences. This research was conducted in March 2023 in class VII junior high school. The subjects of this study consisted of 6 people, including 3 male students and 3 female students. Based on the gender of each student, they are then grouped into 2 people with high ability categories, 2 people with medium ability categories, and 2 people with low ability categories. This type of research is a descriptive research. Data collection techniques were carried out using a written test consisting of 2 questions, by interview and documentation. Data analysis techniques consist of three stages, namely data is data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions. Test the validity of the data using method triangulation techniques and data source triangulation. The results showed that students with high abilities could work on critical thinking test questions and covered all the indicators. In contrast, students with moderate abilities still needed to be able to work on mathematical critical thinking test questions well according to the criteria for critical mathematical thinking. Students with low abilities have yet to be able to do well on the mathematical critical thinking test according to the criteria of critical mathematical thinking. No significant difference exists between how to solve the test questions for male and female students in each ability category

Published: July 2024

This research is based on descriptive research with a qualitative approach. The purpose of this study is to describe the understanding of the concept of algebraic form of junior high school students using APOS (Action, Process, Object, and Scheme) theory in terms of introverted and extroverted personality types. The instruments in this study are researchers (key instruments), personality type questionnaires, concept understanding tests and interviews (supporting instruments). Data collection techniques in this study using questionnaire, test and interview methods. The subjects in this study were one female student with introverted personality and one female student with extroverted personality. The results showed that the understanding of the concept of algebraic forms of introverted students based on APOS theory is at the action, process, object and scheme stages related to the concept of arithmetic operations of algebraic forms and is at the action stage related to the concept of solving contextual problems related to algebraic forms. While the understanding of the concept of algebraic form of extroverted students based on APOS theory is only at the action stage related to the concept of arithmetic operation of algebraic form and the concept of solving contextual problems related to algebraic form. Researchers hope that this research can be used as a consideration for teachers to pay more attention to the type of personality possessed by students, so that concepts can stick and reduce the occurrence of misunderstanding of concepts

Published: July 2024

This study aims to describe students' abilities with visual-spatial and logical-mathematical intelligence in solving contextual mathematical problems. This qualitative research involved two eighth-grade students from a junior high school, each with a background in logical-mathematical and visual-spatial intelligence. The task consisted of two questions that asked students to create two park designs and two alternative payment methods for the "Suroboyo Bus." These findings show both subjects’ complete fluency and flexibility indicators in creative thinking. Subjects exhibit the ability to generate diverse solution pathways and apply various problem-solving strategies. Furthermore, the creative thinking skills displayed by the subject contribute to their comprehensive understanding of mathematical concepts and foster deeper engagement with the subject. The analysis results show that students with logical-mathematical intelligence were able to solve the problems well and came up with various alternative answers that other students did not consider. Students with visual-spatial intelligence were able to solve the problems successfully but did not find ideas to search for alternative answers beyond what was already presented. These findings indicate that both students with visual-spatial and logical-mathematical intelligence were capable of solving the given contextual problems, although there is still room for improvement

Walter Benjamin über die Sozialliteratur
Authors: Raulet Gérard
Published: July 2024

It is somewhat surprising that Walter Benjamin, who has been very much involved with French literature, has shown so little interest in the most prestigious social novelists and in the great social romance cycles. Unlike Lukács, Benjamin evaluates the form of the novel negatively: the novel is not, or no longer, the modern epic. The contemporary novelist differs from the epic narrator in that he has lost the collective dimension. Instead of complaining about this loss, Benjamin accepts it and looks critically for authors and works that experiment new narrative means and at the same time explore new social worlds. But most novels to which Benjamin attributes experimental, or even avant-garde, value have met this challenge the least. They betray their breakthrough either by a purely private social criticism (Julien Green), by a kind of “infantile disease” of commitment (Malraux), or by a mere “cry of indignation” (Céline), which at least has the merit of reintroducing the voice of the Lumpenproletariat into the realm of the novel without mobilizing the “mimicry” of belonging to the proletariat. This essay is part of a larger project on Benjamin and the French intelligentsia of the interwar period.
“She hangs on the western wall”: Breaking the Myth of the Renaissance in Thomas Pynchon’s V.
Authors: Razzi Francesca
Published: July 2024

Since the time of its publication in 1963, Pynchon’s first novel V. has been triggering an intense and still ongoing critical debate upon the function of history and tradition in contemporary literature. As a specimen of postmodern historiographic metafiction, V. enacts complex intertextual strategies, directed at debunking the Western literary tradition, thus questioning its significance in contemporary society. The present contribution aims at extending previous scholarship on the problem of tradition in Pynchon’s fiction, by focusing on the use of the Renaissance in the seventh chapter of V. selected as a case study. Far from marginal, Pynchon’s parodic references to the Italian Renaissance tradition and its cultural artifacts, whether through the artistic productions, or the idea of the Renaissance seen as a pivotal moment of the socio-historical development of the Western world, testify to the process of deconstruction of the paradigmatic role of the Renaissance for the American literary field in the late twentieth century, also in its global and transnational dimension.

Rinnovamento socialista e progetto autogestionario
Authors: Gambilonghi Mattia
Published: July 2024

During the 1970s, the Italian Socialist Party (PSI) initiated a redefinition process of its political culture, deeply inspired by libertarian and anti-statist themes having its fulcrum in the idea of “self-management”. The paper aims not only to examine the ways in which the ideal of self-management is translated concretely into two fundamental areas of the political debate of the time, but also to understand the role played by the idea of self-management in the PSI’s evolution in a neoliberal sense.
Maternità surrogata: la biopolitica del corpo
Una lettura della convergenza tra patriarcato e ideologia neoliberale
Authors: Sugamele Laura
Published: July 2024

This essay will focus on the question of surrogate motherhood as a problem that reveals considerable ethical dilemmas and this element seems to be linked to influences of a neoliberal economic and patriarchal ideology. The conceptual perspective is that of a discussion on modernity and the technology processes relating to the female reproductive sphere, identifiable as the new horizon of a material androcentric mechanism of the body – and in a post-colonial perspective – that sees the feminine potentiality of ‘giving life’ as a resource that can be exploited, a problem which highlights the concept of self-determination on the body.

La poetica del confine di Uljana Wolf
Authors: Occhini Beatrice
Published: July 2024

In her poetry collection falsche freunde the German-speaking artist Uljana Wolf develops a translinguale Lyrik, a poetic voice dwelling on a linguistic and geographical border zone. Building on Emily Apter’s concepts of untranslatability, this paper investigates how Wolf’s structural and thematic checkpoints instil a strong political commitment into her poetry. Furthermore, this engagement is here interpreted as the expression of the paradigm of the postmigrantische Gesellschaft. Finally, the paper argues that through the choice of the term ‘alien’ over the category ‘fremd’ Wolf suggests an innovative shift in the representation of migratory dynamics, from their cultural dimension to their biopolitical significance.

Authors: Laudin Gérard
Published: July 2024

“Bildung” and “Kultur” are among the key terms of the German Enlightenment, and appear in various hierarchical forms in the late 18th century. In Adelung’s Versuch einer Geschichte der Cultur des menschlichen Geschlechts (1782), which partly draws on Herder’s Auch eine Philosophie der Geschichte zur Bildung der Menschheit (1774), the term Cultur refers to a social phenomenon that subsumes “refinement” (Verfeinerung), “Enlightenment” (Aufklärung) and “abilities” (Fähigkeiten). Adelung’s concept of culture is tightly linked to his interpretation of human history, which differs both from that of the largely politically oriented universal histories of his time, and from that of the anthropologically based “philosophies of history” (Iselin, Herder, Kant). For Adelung, culture is produced by “crowds in confined spaces” and thus appears as a quantitative phenomenon, as opposed to the qualitative elements such as power (Kraft) and fermentation (Gärung) that determine the course of history in Herder’s philosophy of history of 1774. Cultur emerges from a balance that comes about when the material and non-material components of a given culture are “in the most exact proportion” to each other. The idea of the “Maximum” formulated in Herder’s Ideen zur Philosophie der Geschichte der Menschheit (1784), which is described as “a climax” that every nation reaches in its own way, appears to be developed critically as a counterpart to Adelung’s concept of balance.

Doing Things with Metaphors in Contemporary China
Analysing the Use of Creative Metaphors in the Discourse on the Chinese Dream
Authors: Gallelli Beatrice
Published: July 2024

The ‘Chinese dream’ sums up China’s goals in the twenty-first century. Since its first appearance in 2012, the concept of the Chinese dream has been the core of Xi Jinping’s “new thoughts, new ideas and new arguments”. At the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China it was elevated as one of the guiding principles of ‘Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era’, which represents the latest effort towards the Sinicization of Marxism. This paper aims at casting light on whether the discourse on the Chinese dream carries new contents or is based on old concepts ‘camouflaged’ as new. To do so, it will analyse the ideological implications of those ‘creative metaphors’ that compose the discursive mosaic of the Chinese dream as used by Xi Jinping in his political speeches. Drawing on the studies on conceptual metaphors and frame analysis, this study analyses those metaphorical expressions that are purposely outlined in the transcription of the speeches with the aim of signaling the originality of “Xi’s language style”. The final aim is to provide insight into what these ‘creative metaphors’ are doing in contemporary China. Results show that ‘creative metaphors’ in the discourse on the Chinese dream are meant to set the agenda on revitalising morality within the Party as well as ‘unifying’ values in today’s Chinese society, and most of them are far from being new in Chinese political discourse.
Literary Agency in the Wake of Catastrophe
The Canonization of the Literary Responses to Trauma
Authors: De Pieri Veronica
Published: July 2024

Textual agency plays a fundamental role with regard to the literary production devoted to catastrophic events and the trauma they entail; it raises questions about the ethics of the disaster, as if to say the legitimacy of the literary works on the theme. The authorial commitment to bear witness to the events often clashes with the unrepresentability of the event itself: silence and discursivity are both misleading choices in the sense that the first is a real blot on History, while the latter implies to domesticate trauma in order to transpose it into literary forms. This article aims to give relevance to the therapeutic agency of the Literature of the catastrophe and in doing so, it contributes to the re-evaluation of the genre as part of the literary canon.
Giorgio Damistra (1650-?), Theodoro Poulakis (1620-1692?) e il Barocco Levantino
Authors: Stoyanova Magdelena
Published: July 2024

This paper reports the recent discovery of the autograph of Giorgio da Mistra, an apprentice of the famous Greek icon painter Theodoro Poulakis, on an icon of Saint Demetrius. In order to check its authenticity and give a plausible dating, the Author compares the biography, pictorial technique and aesthetic orientation of both post-Byzantine painters. She further introduces little-known notices about the Russian acquisitions during the 19th century on the Italian antiquarian market that could have intercepted other Da Mistra’s works and, in general, are of potential interest for the study of the post-Byzantine painting.
Written Dārija: “māšī məʿìqūl tǝktəb-ha bi-ḥurūf al-luġa al-ʿarabiyya!” It Is not Logical to Write It with the Arabic Letters!
Media Reception of the Zakoura Dictionary Project
Authors: Pennisi Rosa
Published: July 2024

This study investigates written linguistic practices emerging from public debate in Morocco. Although Darija is increasingly used in writing, especially in online platforms, most of its users still stigmatize it. In 2017 the Zakoura Foundation edited the first monolingual dictionary of Darija, a fervently debated initiative. So, this analysis aims to show the limits of such codification initiative, and factors which affect language ideology in Morocco. Therefore, a corpus of articles and readers’ comments on the Zakoura Dictionary of two Moroccan digital newspapers, Goud and Hespress, has been analyzed, quantitively and qualitatively, in order to compare the opinions about language and the language varieties in which they were expressed.
Al-mihna wa’l-huwiyya. Motivational Dimensions of Arabic Heritage Learners in a Professionally-Oriented Education Setting
Authors: Golfetto Marco Aurelio
Published: July 2024

This study investigates motivational and professional orientations and identity issues of students of Arab descent majoring in Arabic in a teaching setting oriented to develop vocational and professional language skills. Their motivations for learning the target language were investigated and compared with those of their colleagues of non-Arab descent through a questionnaire that explored motivational factors, job expectations and education history. Apparently, students were prompted to take Arabic classes because of employment concerns and they proved keen on undertaking most of the proposed professions, providing that they were connected with the Arab world. It is also possible to highlight how the study of the language of origin was determined by thoroughly intrinsic motives. Cultural interests and especially identity needs provided the strongest push for the respondents, even in the surveyed education setting, where instrumental motivation was clearly expected to play a major role. Implications can be drawn as regards curriculum design and classroom practice.
Etymological Elaboration in Chéngyǔ 成语 Teaching
The Role of Opacity, Type of Instruction, and Competence Level
Authors: Conti Sergio
Published: July 2024

As a sub-type of Chinese idioms, chengyu 成语 play an important role in Chinese teaching. This study tested the effectiveness of etymological elaboration in relation to the type of instruction (direct or indirect), the degree of transparency of the chengyu, and the participants’ proficiency level. 48 post-elementary and 53 pre-intermediate learners were divided into three groups, one control and two experimental groups. The experimental groups attended to a 30-minute treatment, then a post-test was submitted to all the participants. Statistical and qualitative analysis revealed that indirect instruction was significantly more effective than direct instruction, independently from the participants’ competence level, and that opaque chengyu were more easily retained than transparent chengyu.
Wreckage, War, Woman. Fragments of a Female Self in Zhang Ailing’s Love In a Fallen City (倾城之恋)
Authors: Di Muzio Alessandra
Published: July 2024

This article examines wreckage and war as key elements in Zhang Ailing’s novella Qing cheng zhi lian 倾城之恋 (Love in a Fallen City) exploring the strategies used by the female protagonist to engage on a nüxing 女性 ‘feminist’-oriented spatial quest for independence in a male-centered world. Analysed from a feminist perspective, these strategies emerge as potentially empowering and based on the idea of conflict/conquest while dealing with man and romance, but they are also constantly threatened by the instability of history and by the lack of any true agency and gender-specific space for women in the 1940s Chinese society and culture. By analysing the floating/stability dichotomy and the spatial configurations of Shanghai and Hong Kong as described in the novella, the author argues Zhang Ailing’s depiction of Chinese women while dealing with history, society and the quest for self-affirmation is left in-between wreckage and survival, oppression and feminism, revealing her eccentric otherness as a woman and as a writer with respect to socially committed literature.
Dedication to Athena from Megara
Authors: Giovagnorio Francesca
Published: July 2024

The bronze table, found in Megara on a hill called Alkathoos, has to be associated with the temple of Athena seen by Pausanias in 1.42.4. The table is broken on the upper part, where the name of those who did the ex-voto were placed. The text mentions the offering of a tenth of a booty, deducted from some marauders and then consecrated to the goddess Athena. From the graphic peculiarities of the letters, we can deduce a chronology about 450-440 BC.
Oracular Lamella from Dodona: a Public Consultation
Authors: Antonello Sofia , Equestri Melissa
Published: July 2024

In the 4th-3th century BC, some arbitrators from a koinon in Epirus went to Dodona’s sanctuary in order to ask the Oracle a public question involving the management of a public amount of money. This fragmented lamella, from the Evangelidis’ excavations, is particularly interesting because it refers to three important Greek institutions: the diaitoi, the pritaneion and the polis.
