The Guilty Feminist Army
Authors: Diddams Natalie 
Published: December 2019

Abstract
IN THIS PAPER, I DISCUSS THE AFFECTIVE POTENTIAL OF LAUGHTER IN THE HUGELY POPULAR COMEDY PODCAST SERIES; THE GUILTY FEMINIST. SPECIFICALLY, I EXPLORE HOW THE SOUNDS OF LAUGHTER – AS DISSEMINATED BY THE PODCAST – CAN LEAD TO EXPLOSIONS OF EMOTION IN THE PUBLIC SPHERE; SETTING THE BODY IN MOTION AND LEADING TO NEW WAYS OF THINKING, FEELING AND BEING. WHILE THESE PUBLIC EXPLOSIONS OF EMOTION CAN BE TRANSGRESSIVE, I POSTULATE THAT THEY CAN ALSO RELIEVE SOME OF THE TENSION CREATED BY THE NEGATIVE AFFECTS SWIRLING AROUND FEMINISM, WHICH, ACCORDING TO AHMED, “IS ALWAYS ASSUMED TO BE BRINGING OTHERS DOWN” (AHMED, 2010:65). USING GUATTARI’S IDEAS ON THE PRODUCTION OF SUBJECTIVATION, I ARGUE THAT THESE EXPLOSIONS CAN INTENSIFY THE EMERGENCE OF A GLOBAL, INTERSECTIONAL FEMINIST COMMUNITY, PROVOKING A CONSIDERATION OF HOW PODCASTS SUCH AS THE GUILTY FEMINIST COULD EXTEND OUR UNDERSTANDING OF THE USE OF TECHNOLOGY AND ONLINE ACTIVISM WITHIN CONTEMPORARY FEMINISMS.
Exploring the Affective Politics of Political Beauty
Authors: Landau Friederike 
Published: December 2019

Abstract
TO UNDERSTAND THE INTRICATE INTERCONNECTION BETWEEN POLITICS AND AFFECTS, I EXAMINE A PERFORMANCE OF THE BERLIN-BASED ARTIST COLLECTIVE ZENTRUM FÜR POLITISCHE SCHÖNHEIT (CENTER FOR POLITICAL BEAUTY, ZPS), IN WHICH ARTIST ACTIVISTS STAGED A HORSEBACK RIDE TO FASTEN A MANIFESTO OF TEN THESES OF POLITICAL BEAUTY ON THE FAÇADE OF THE GERMAN BUNDESTAG. INTERCONNECTING THEORIES OF POLITICAL DIFFERENCE (MARCHART 2010), WHICH DIFFERENTIATE BETWEEN THE ONTOLOGICAL REALM OF ‘THE POLITICAL’ AND ONTIC REALIZATIONS OF ‘POLITICS’, AND POLITICAL THEORIES OF AFFECT, I APPROACH THE AFFECTIVE DIMENSIONS OF POLITICAL DIFFERENCE AS AFFECTIVE POLITICS. BUILDING ON BARGETZ’S (2014) “POLITICAL GRAMMAR OF FEELINGS”, I SITUATE THE PERFORMANCE’S TEMPORARY INSTITUTIONS AND INTERRUPTIONS OF ‘POLITICS’ AND ‘THE POLITICAL’, AS WELL AS ‘FEELING POLITICS’ AND ‘POLITICS OF FEELING’ RESPECTIVELY, AS AFFECTIVE ENCOUNTERS TO EXPERIENCE OR ENACT POLITICAL BEAUTY. POLITICAL BEAUTY, IN AN ANTAGONISTIC FRAMEWORK THAT FOREGROUNDS CONTINGENCY, CONFLICT AND ABSENCE, MOBILIZES AFFECTS AS INHERENTLY AMBIVALENT AND CONTENTIOUS. AS A CHALLENGE TO THE DIAGNOSIS OF AN INEVITABLE POST-POLITICAL CONDITION, I DISCUSS THE POTENTIAL OF POLITICAL BEAUTY AS AFFECTIVE POLITICS TO POTENTIALLY RE-POLITICIZE POLITICS. BORROWING FROM DERRIDA (1994), I CONDUCT A SPECTRAL READING OF ZPS’ TEN THESES AND CARVE OUT THREE ANALYTICAL VIGNETTES – BEAUTY, VITALITY AND LONGING – TO CONCEPTUALIZE POLITICAL BEAUTY AS OSCILLATING BETWEEN THE DESIRE AND HOPE FOR POLITICAL CHANGE, WHICH CAN NEVER BE FULLY SATISFIED, AND A DISMISSAL OF (POLITICAL) UGLINESS AND DEATH. IN THE END, POLITICAL BEAUTY ESCAPES A DEFINITION BECAUSE IT IS, AFTER ALL, NOTHING BUT AN IMPOSSIBLE PROJECT FOR POLITICS AND AFFECTS OF AN UNKNOWN FUTURE.

SCHRIFT/SCHREIBEN ALS TRANSGRESSION. WALTER BENJAMINS KONSTRUKTION VON GESCHICHTE(N)
Authors: Barck Karlheinz 
Published: December 2019

L’auteur réévalue la pertinence des travaux de Walter Benjamin dans le contexte des débats théoriques contemporains et propose une réorientation des études sur Benjamin. S’appuyant sur l’hypothèse de l’unité historique et philosophique du « programme » de Benjamin — du « fragment théologique-politique » aux « thèses sur la philosophie de l’histoire » —, Barck réinterprète la théorie et la pratique de l’écriture benjaminiennes. La théorie du langage qui fonde sa philosophie de l’histoire étant largement influencée par les idées de Benjamin sur l’écriture (Schrift/Schreiben), Barck développe plus particulièrement les trois problématiques suivantes : le babelisme en tant qu’indice de confusion linguistique, la magie du langage et la manifestation (Darlegung) comme acte d’écriture dans l’écriture comme medium. Reprenant la terminologie de Benjamin, Barck situe sa pensée dans un contexte international et interdisciplinaire et souligne les affinités de celle-ci avec les oeuvres de Marcel Jousse, Erik E. Havelock et la Toronto School of Communication.
ADAPTING WEB ELECTRONIC LIBRARIES TO ENGLISH STUDIES
Authors: Douglas Christopher , Jerz Dennis G. , Lancashire Ian 
Published: December 2019

University of Toronto's Department of English developed UTEL, a teaching and research World Wide Web site designed to foreground the diverse theoretical and methodological approaches in that department's views on literature. We argue that academia needs to build local academic content into electronic libraries by supplying faculty essays, notes, lecture materials, and dedicated databases, all selected and created to mirror the specific purposes and identities of the academics who will use it. Doing so requires a long-term institutional infrastructure with peer review, and coherent goals — a model not found in individual or commercial Web collections, in purely administrative departmental sites, or on the World Wide Web itself.
L’identité assignée : du lieu et ses manifestations discursives
Authors: Boudreau Annette 
Published: December 2019

L’auteure analyse les liens entre le lieu, les discriminations linguistiques et les processus de minorisation à la base des hiérarchies et des inégalités sociales entre locuteurs francophones au Canada. Plus particulièrement, elle montre comment les francophones bilingues des régions périphériques qui font usage de pratiques mélangées du français et de l’anglais – dans des slogans, dans des chansons – sont souvent ciblés comme exemples à ne pas imiter dans les médias nationaux pour montrer l’appauvrissement du français au pays. Considérés comme des francophones illégitimes par les tenants de ces discours, certains locuteurs visés intériorisent ce sentiment et le tiennent pour naturel et allant de soi ; ils se cantonnent dans le silence pour éviter de se faire juger. D’autres, surtout les artistes, tentent de répondre à ces discours hégémoniques par des stratégies diverses, dont la mise en scène des traits stigmatisés. L’Acadie servira d’exemple pour illustrer ces différentes manifestations.
« Dis woir », le concours du plus bel accent neuchâtelois : une action de déminorisation ?
Authors: Matthey Marinette 
Published: December 2019

Cette contribution analyse un évènement peu banal, un concours d’accent régional. Après avoir contextualisé l’évènement et ses acteurs en faisant le récit de l’opération « Dis woir », l’article se focalise sur la gagnante du concours, rencontrée en 2017, dix ans après avoir été couronnée ambassadrice de l’accent neuchâtelois. Comment a-t-elle vécu cet évènement largement médiatisé au niveau suisse romand ? D’un point de vue sociolinguistique, peut-on dire que les objectifs poursuivis par les organisateurs du concours ont été atteints ? Le concours peut-il être interprété comme un acte de déminorisation ? Pourquoi n’a-t-il pas été répliqué ailleurs en Suisse romande jusqu’à ce jour ? L’article propose des éléments de réponse à ces diverses interrogations.
« Accent rigolo » et « bouche en cul de poule » : qui minore qui à Marseille ?
Authors: Gasquet-Cyrus Médéric , Wharton Sylvie 
Published: December 2019

Cet article s’intéresse à la manière dont, à Marseille, des locuteurs membres d’un groupe a priori dominant se retrouvent en situation de minoration dans un marché linguistique local, dans lequel les règles du jeu linguistique ne sont pas les mêmes qu’à l’échelle nationale. La façon dont certains Marseillais se moquent de leur façon de parler traduit bien un renversement du rapport de forces sociolinguistique. Cependant, la traditionnelle opposition « Parisien » vs « Marseillais » est reconfigurée depuis un certain temps en raison de l’arrivée et de la présence visible et audible de nouveaux habitants aux profils socioéconomiques et sociolinguistiques différents. L’étude du contact entre les Marseillais et les nouveaux arrivants nous permet d’analyser les processus de minoration (explicites ou implicites) qui passent notamment par le filtre de l’humour lorsque celui-ci est focalisé sur l’identité linguistique.

Authors: Veloso Alline Oliveira do Nascimento , Keomma Kaio , Coutinho Mayrla Sousa , Cavalcanti Alessandro Leite 
Published: December 2019

Introdução: O homicídio é um problema de Saúde Pública no Brasil não raro relacionado com drogas ilícitas. Objetivo: Caracterizar os homicídios e os aspectos associados ao uso de drogas ilícitas. Métodos: Estudo transversal, com abordagem quantitativa, realizado em João Pessoa, no estado da Paraíba, no Brasil, em 2014. Consideraram-se 424 vítimas de homicídios cujos dados foram coletados através de um instrumento próprio, analisados com auxílio de software estatístico, com Teste de Qui-Quadrado e Regressão Robusta de Poisson, considerando um nível confiança de 95% e significância estatística quando p<0,05. Resultados: Predominância de vítimas de homicídios homens (93,2%), ão brancos (97,2%), com até 30 anos, considerando as faixas etárias de menor de 20 anos (22,6%), de 20 a 24 (26,7%) e 25 a 29 (18,8%), com menos de sete anos de estudo (67,5%), com histórico de envolvimento com drogas ilícitas (72,5%) e de encarceramento (59,7%). Observaram-se associações entre envolvimento com drogas ilícitas e as variáveis: sexo (p=0,037), idade (p=0,002) e histórico de encarceramento (p<0,001). A prevalência ajustada de envolvimento com drogas ilícitas foi 67% maior entre aqueles com histórico de encarceramento (RP: 1,67; IC95%: 1,44-1,94) e 28% menor entre indivíduos com 30 anos ou mais (RP: 0,72; IC: 0,58-0,88). Conclusão: O homicídio está inserido em um quadro de complexas questões sociais, dentre as quais se insere o envolvimento com drogas ilícitas, e é mais prevalente entre indivíduos com histórico de encarceramento e menos prevalente entre os de mais de 30 anos.

Otorhinolaryngological Disorders Implicated in Facial Nerve Paralysis in a Tertiary Hospital in Port Harcourt
Authors: Uju Ibekwe Matilda , Ugonna Anyama Ernest 
Published: December 2019

Background: It is not all facial nerve palsy that presents to the otorhinolaryngologist that is Bell’s palsy; therefore there is a need for proper evaluation of these patients. This study is to determine the pattern and prevalence of otorhinolaryngologic disorders associated with facial nerve paralysis.
Aim: To determine the prevalence and pattern of otorhinological disorders implicated in facial nerve paralysis in University of Port Harcourt Teaching Hospital.
Patients and Methods: Study design: This was a hospital-based descriptive study. The patients diagnosed with facial nerve paralysis seen in the Ear Nose and Throat surgery and Physiotherapy departments of the University of Port Harcourt Teaching Hospital (UPTH) from January 2014 to December 2018 were collated and those among them with associated otorhinolaryngological disorders were recruited and studied. Data on patient demographics, presenting complaints and ear nose and throat disorders were sought from the case files, clinic and ward registers. Data entry was done using Microsoft Excel and exported to United States CDC Epi-Info version 7 for data analysis. Frequency tables and appropriate charts were used to present data. Chi square statistics was performed to determine significant differences between demographics of the patients and category of facial nerve palsy patients at alpha level of 0.05.
Results: 76 patients with facial nerve paralysis, twenty one of them were associated with ORL disorder giving a prevalence of 27.6%. Ages below 40 years were the most affected and a slight male preponderance. Acute and chronic otitis media were seen in 33.3% of these patients respectively while Ramsay hunt syndrome and otitis externa were seen in 9.5%. Age and incidence of ORL disorders in these patients had statistical correlation.
Conclusion: ORL disorders associated with facial paralysis are still prevalent and otitis media appear to be the most common.
Comparison of Laparoscopic Distal Gastrectomy With Open Distal Gastrectomy for Patients With Advanced Gastric Cancer: A Single-Center Analysis From a Community Hospital
Authors: Matsuda Satoru , Booka Eisuke , Mori Keita , Mihara Koki , Nishiya Shin , Handa Kan , Ono Shigeshi , Ito Yasuhiro , Shibutani Sintaro , Egawa Tomohisa 
Published: December 2019

Objective:
This study is aimed to investigate the safety and efficacy of laparoscopic distal gastrectomy (LDG) at the community hospital.

Summary of Background Data:
Although various clinical trials have shown that laparoscopic distal gastrectomy was feasible in patients with early gastric cancer, its safety and efficacy for patients with advanced gastric cancer need to be elucidated.

Methods:
Patients with pathological Stage IB-III gastric cancer who underwent open distal gastrectomy (ODG) or LDG with D1+ or more extended lymph node (LN) dissection between 2007 and 2014 were eligible for this retrospective study. Patient characteristics, clinicopathologic factors, and post-treatment recurrence were recorded. To evaluate the safety of the surgery, surgical outcomes and postoperative complication were investigated.

Results:
638 patients underwent gastrectomy for gastric cancer, with 67 patients included in ODG group and 61 included in LDG group. Patients in the ODG group showed significantly more progressive disease than those in the LDG group. Postoperative infectious complications, [≥Clavien-Dindo (C-D) classification grade III] occurred 6% in all patients, and there was no significant difference between groups. Hospital stay (median, range) was (9, 6–45) in ODG and (7, 5–58) in LDG, with significantly shorter stays in the LDG group (&lt;0.001).

Conclusions:
LDG could be safely performed for advanced gastric cancer in a community hospital. However, long-term outcomes, including types of postoperative recurrence, need further evaluation.

Symposium
and its theory of love in Christian, Islamic, Jewish, and secular writers in later periods.
Bridge Essay: Origins and Transformations: Tactics of Storying and World‐Making
Authors: Gallagher Lowell 
Published: December 2019

Abstract
If the human is an evolutionary project always under construction, the human is also a perennial occasion to reflect on how the topic of world literature depends on the pivotal position of the all‐too‐human drive to create worlds out of the basic conditions of life and then build stories to make sense of the consequences. This chapter presents core narrative and philosophical ideas that inform the generative conditions for origin stories across world literatures. Focusing on classical, Jewish, and early Christian renderings of origins, the chapter demonstrates how critical questions raised in narratology, cultural criticism, and trauma studies help account for both structural affinities and diverse treatments of origin stories, considered as explanatory and therapeutic devices to make sense of the “world” and how “we” got “here” in world literatures.
Hesiod'sTheogony: From Family Violence to Civic Order
Authors: Scully Stephen 
Published: December 2019

AbstractHesiod'sTheogonynarrates the evolution of the universe from its origin to the making of culture when Zeus establishes Olympus in the third generation of gods. Evolution begins with Chaos (a Gap), immediately followed by female Earth, and mind‐bending Eros (Sexual Love). The first two generations are subject to violent struggles within the family, as fathers try to prevent the birth of their children and mothers seek to hurt fathers, before Zeus ends this cycle of violence by establishing a stable and permanent community of gods, characterized by liberation of the oppressed, communal laws, and shared honors.
Bridge Essay: Shifting Paradigms in Orality, Literacy, and Literature
Authors: Minchin Elizabeth 
Published: December 2019

AbstractThis chapter outlines the “discovery” in the twentieth century of oral traditional art, from the perspective of the Homeric epics. It notes subsequent interest in comparative studies of a vast number of oral traditions from across the globe; it draws attention to the theorizing of oral cultures and oral practices (in particular, a questioning of a binary model of orality versus literacy); it points to the complex role that memory plays in the production of oral traditional song; and, finally, it asks whether we can judge oral art by the same standards that we apply to works of literature.
Contextualizing the Babylonian Talmud: TheRoman East and Mesopotamian Christianity
Authors: Kalmin Richard 
Published: December 2019

AbstractThis chapter argues that a significant cultural change is discernible in fourth‐century Babylonia and later, due to the incorporation into the Babylonian Talmud (the Bavli) of non‐rabbinic and even non‐Jewish traditions from the eastern Roman provinces as well as traditions deriving from and information concerning Christian and pagan cultures east of Syria. These conclusions support the thesis that it is critically important to study the Bavli in light of multiple cultural contexts, in contrast to most scholars, who tend to study the cultures of late antique Mesopotamia in blissful isolation from one another, or who emphasize the central importance of the Persian context for understanding the Bavli.
Aeschylus,
Oresteia
: Revenge, Justice, Gender, and Democracy
Authors: Sommerstein Alan H. 
Published: December 2019

Abstract

Has any work of dramatic literature contributed more than the
Oresteia
to the development of literary conflict as well as to moral, philosophical, and legal thought since its production in 458
bce
? This suite of four plays (the first three of which are preserved) by the Athenian tragic dramatist Aeschylus presents the murder of Agamemnon by his wife and her lover, the killing of both by Agamemnon's son Orestes, and his trial at Athens in ways that have prodded human conscience for two‐and‐a‐half millennia, and its ideas continue to reverberate today. Its main themes include justice and revenge, gender struggle, and the relations of gods with mortals. It is also noteworthy that the
Oresteia
was “engaged” literature, its concluding portions being strongly relevant to Athenian politics of the day.
Vergil's
Aeneid
: From Defeated Trojans to Imperial Romans
Authors: Perkell Christine 
Published: December 2019

Abstract

The
Aeneid
of Vergil (70–19
bce
) introduces a figure new to heroic epic, i.e. Aeneas, the selfless hero, dedicated to mission on behalf of others (i.e., the Trojan survivors of war) – a significant deviation from the individual purposes of the Homeric heroes, Achilles and Odysseus, who precede him in the epic tradition. Aeneas, who has a heroic purpose arguably higher and nobler (bringing the Trojan exiles to a new homeland) than personal glory, exemplifies a new and enduring cultural paradigm. Through the figure of Aeneas Vergil heroizes the traditional Roman value of
pietas
(what one owes to gods, fatherland, family), thus Romanizing and modernizing epic. Aeneas' faith in his mission is tested by wrong turns, failures, and losses; but Aeneas' humanity and the moral limits of
pietas
are tested by his eventual victory and power. The poem asks if
furor
(violence, rage) – political and personal – can be contained by
imperium
(empire), reason, or Augustus. Its answer is equivocal.
Nine Songs, Li Sao, and Qu Yuan: The Ancient Art of Misreading

Published: December 2019

AbstractNine SongsandLi saoare two of the principal works attributed to Qu Yuan, one of the earliest and most influential Chinese poets.Nine Songsis a series of shaman hymns.Li saois an allegory based on them that none of the traditional interpretations adequately explain. This chapter examines how traditional exegesis of theLi sao, as is the case with traditional exegesis in certain other ancient cultures, is based on intentional misreading, and shows how a literal and historically informed reading reveals the previously hidden allegorical structure of the poem.
Tao Yuanming's Poetics of Awkwardness
Authors: Tian Xiaofei 
Published: December 2019

Abstract
Tao Yuanming (365–427), aka Tao Qian, is a canonical poet in the Chinese tradition. This chapter introduces Tao's poetry in terms of his modes of self‐representation and his poetics of awkwardness, and argues that, in exploring such universal issues as identity, pursuit of happiness, and poetic self‐representation in unique ways, Tao Yuanming is a poet who not only belongs to the Chinese literary and cultural tradition but also very much belongs to the world.
Erotic Words, Sacred Landscapes, Ideal Bodies: Love and Death in the Song of Songs
Authors: Landy Francis 
Published: December 2019

AbstractThe Song of Songs, composed probably in the third centurybce, is one of the most influential poems in the Western erotic and mystical traditions, by virtue of its appearing in the Bible. It is a dialogue between two lovers in an idyllic pastoral landscape, seemingly without relation to the rest of the sacred text. It is, however, a critique of the biblical tradition, whose implicit question is: what was it all worth? For the Song, the answer is that love alone guarantees an ambiguous immortality. It is thus a tacit counter to Ecclesiastes' refrain that everything is illusory. I discuss the instability of gender in the Song and its questioning of patriarchy, to create a vulnerable maternal space for lovers' intimacy. This space is that of the poetic imagination, which is more real than the everyday world. The metaphors coalescence with the sound patterns of the Song to generate a synthesis of the body, the landscape, history, and the fauna and flora of ancient Israel.
