Modernizing primordialism: Deterritorializing Chineseness and reterritorializing the sinophone in Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon
Authors: Coe Jason G. 
Published: February 2019

Abstract
The wuxia tradition in cinema constructs primordial ‘Chineseness’ and ‘cultural China’ as identities to be transmitted and deployed around the world. The article critiques frameworks that take cultural identities such as ‘Chineseness’ or ‘Americanness’ for granted. Such frameworks engender reductive views of culture as an essential substance, with the cinema of said culture expressing or conveying that cultural essence, or imitations thereof, around the world. Such arguments falsely assume that cinemas either ‘authentically’ represent the national or ethnic origin of their producers or signify the coming together of two vaguely defined cultures in hybrid form, typically east meeting west. This article demonstrates how cinema generates cultural identities, using Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon to illustrate how the wuxia tradition creates imagined worlds that connect disparate peoples, including populations traditionally regarded as diaspora. Wuxia uses imagined histories of mythical places to enable imagined community, while transmitting and concretizing that cultural identity through cinema. As the film’s main plot device, the sword demonstrates how passing for traditional is a modern practice for local cinemas to gain access to global film markets. The article concludes by discussing Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon as a minoritarian artwork that engenders becoming sinophone by deterritorializing cultural Chineseness from the nation state, thereby highlighting the processes by which sinophone cinemas mediate cultural identity by engaging and modernizing established norms.
Accelerations and speed limits: An essay on the vocal limits of semiocapitalism
Authors: Adams Tristam Vivian 
Published: February 2019

Abstract
This article examines how exposure to capitalist environments accelerates speech. Voice is proposed as a partial register of how we are as bodied subjects within affective environments with semiotic and communicative pressures. Voice is a locus of trauma, a sonic scar that sounds out the semiotic pressures of capitalism. Accelerated speech is posited as symptomatic of semiocapitalism. Mirroring, vocal convergence, psychotropic stimulation and exposure to accelerated speech in television and Internet are proposed as key factors that influence our speech rate. The trend of compressing increasing amounts of dialogue into television shows is argued to be a dramatic microcosm of how semiocapitalism conditions us to communicate faster. Finally, manifestations of our speed limit are explored. Vocal stalls or hesitations, the deceleration or pause of the semiotic flows we voice, are posited as symptomatic of the disjunct between the accelerating demands of semiocapitalism and the human cognitive and corporeal limit. The shift from speech to voice is symptomatic of trauma. The human buffering of the vocal fry is the sound of the human, subjected to the accelerating demands of semiocapitalism, reaching its limit.
Spiel, patter or sound effect: Tracking the residual voice on the travelling fun fair
Authors: Trowell Ian 
Published: February 2019

Abstract
The travelling fun-fair, emerging from trade and hiring fairs prior to the twentieth century, is a beguiling and uncharted realm of illusion, deception, thrill and adventure. It offers a glimpse of the improbable and impossible, and a taste or touch of the unattainable. There is an immediate and overwhelming polysensory overload, of sight, of sound, light, smell, disorientation, performance and serendipitous sociality. This article tracks the voice on the travelling fun-fair and asks whether the contemporary situation, examining two specific examples of voice, is a continuation or break with tradition. The voice is approached through a nested consideration of the overall experience, the cacophonous soundscape (music, scream, mechanical noise), and finally a totality of voices as an element within the soundscape. This phenomenological approach – from the point of view of the ‘punter’ – is then balanced with a historical consideration of the showperson’s voice. These two approaches are then combined to examine the continuity of cultural tradition.
Creating The Lion King: Story development, authorship and accreditation in the Disney Renaissance
Authors: Chandler David 
Published: February 2019

Abstract
The Lion King, Disney’s most lucrative property, began life as the most successful animated film to emerge from the Disney Renaissance. It was developed against a background of creative transformation and personal feuding at the studio, as Michael Eisner and Jeffrey Katzenberg attempted to introduce a new, script-led method of making animated films. This article examines the accreditation given to writers in the film’s credits, Katzenberg’s claim to have originated much of the story himself, and the actual slow process of story development from first concept (1988) to finished screenplay (1993). Emphasis is placed on the original creative brief, to produce a Bambi-like film based on ‘[r]eal lion behaviour’, the first story treatment by Thomas M. Disch, the additions to that story made by later writers and directors, and the conflict between more realistic and more fantastical visions of animal behaviour that slowed the movie’s development for years. Based on collections of primary source material not in the public domain, and personal correspondence with many people involved in shaping the movie, this is the first full history of the screenplay of The Lion King.
Adapting children’s literature for animated TV series: The case of Heidi
Authors: Fornasari Eleonora 
Published: February 2019

Abstract
Children’s literature includes some classics that are pervasive, thanks to media adaptations that have made them known worldwide such as, among many, Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland (Carrol 1865), Peter Pan in Kensington Gardens (Barrie 1906), and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (Dahl 1964). It is not by chance that with each new generation, fresh adaptations of children’s classics appear. The following article will focus on the specifics of writing for animated TV series aimed at a children’s audience, comparing two adaptations of Johanna Spyri’s 1880 Swiss novel Heidi: Arupusu no Shôjo Haiji, Heidi (Heidi, Girl of the Alps) (Fuji TV, 1974) and its 3D reboot Heidi (TF1, 2015). Heidi, Girl of the Alps first appeared in Japan in 1974, marking the beginning of the so-called ‘anime-boom’ that lasted till the mid-1980s. The series, comprised of 52 episodes, was produced by Zuiyo Enterprises. Directed by Isao Takahata, it boasts the drawings of Oscar winner Hayao Miyazaki and can be considered the initiator of the ‘Meisaku’ genre, also known as the World Masterpiece Theatre that showcased animated versions of the most beloved western children’s novels. Heidi 3D, instead, is a CGI animation remake of the 1974 anime adaptation, and was produced by Studio 100 in 39 episodes. In this version, Heidi appears as a modernized, more colourful 3D incarnation of herself. The comparison between the two adaptations will show not only how the original material has changed in the transition from one series to the other, but also how animation affects the way in which a story for television is told and plays a role in keeping classic stories ever-new.

Voicing Sápmi, defending Sápmi: Environmental activism in Sámi popular music and music videos
Authors: Fuller Kelsey A. 
Published: February 2019

Abstract
As Europe’s only recognized Indigenous peoples, the Sámi rely on a variety of media in pursuit of social, political and environmental activism. Sámi musicians have used popular music to discuss twenty-first-century concerns and reach broader Scandinavian and global audiences, often messaging through their iconic vocal genre of joik and imagery of their homeland, Sápmi. Artists employ music videos to enhance the activist impact of their music, showing and telling rather than just explaining. These videos illustrate an Indigenous Sámi ecocritical approach to the sociopolitical issues discussed in the lyrics. Through such combined media expression, artists discuss their connection to the land, sense of place and the effects of climate change in the Arctic. They furthermore render visible and audible the years of colonial erasure and silencing of Sámi presence in northern Fenno-Scandinavia. The article concludes that these videos present an emerging ecocritical activism profile specific to the Sámi experience.
Petropolitics, cli-fi and Occupied
Authors: Leyda Julia 
Published: February 2019

Abstract
One of a growing group of television series that can be classified as climate fiction, Occupied takes as its premise a hostile political response to Norway’s sudden move towards energy transition. Occupied draws on the long tradition of the Norwegian occupation drama, while also resonating with contemporary tensions between Russia and its neighbours. Mobilizing familiar structures of feeling common to many cli-fi texts as well as recent news cycles, Occupied brings together the genre conventions of political thrillers, occupation dramas and extreme weather/disaster films. With its ensemble cast that explores the conflicting loyalties and personal stakes involved in the emerging crisis, the series portrays the complexities of its fictional petropolitics as a layered accumulation of historical and recent memory shot through with personal and political investments of every conceivable kind that premediate possible futures in the Anthropocene.
Animal suffering and/as discourse in 1960s Latin American cinema
Authors: Fischer Carl 
Published: February 2019

Abstract
Vidas secas/Barren Lives (dos Santos, 1963) and La hora de los hornos/The Hour of the Furnaces (Getino and Solanas, 1968) made fierce denunciations of poverty in Brazil and Argentina, respectively, such that non-human animals were central to their critiques. Although the directors likely intended those animals (often depicted suffering and dying) to merely metaphorize human suffering, I argue that they become agents of discourse themselves, thanks to cinematic language (even though the use of verbal language is precisely what defines the ontological separation of human animals from non-human animals). Although montage has been historically understood as a device of metaphor, in these films it allows for the representation of very literal commonalities in the suffering experienced by all on-screen bodies, irrespective of species. Drawing viewers’ attention to animal suffering on its own terms can thus broaden the discourses of liberation and compassion inherent to Cinema Novo and ‘Third Cinema’.
New Latin American cinematic culture: Through the frame of the Morelia International Film Festival
Authors: D’Lugo Marvin 
Published: February 2019

Abstract
On the occasion of the fifteenth anniversary of the Morelia International Film Festival (FICM), Studies in Spanish and Latin American Cinemas looks at the dynamics that shape one of the region’s principal film festivals. This dossier profiles some of the key alliances that have contributed towards its longevity and success; the overview of the festival’s history is followed by an interview with its founding director, Daniela Michel, and concludes with external views by two influential film historians: Eduardo de la Vega Alfaro and Josetxo Cerdán. Each has participated in festival juries and related activities and, jointly, they reflect national and international perspectives on the significance of the Morelia Festival. In profiling FICM our objective is to understand the place and influence of Latin American film festivals more generally as gatekeepers but also catalysts for the production, distribution and reception of local productions in regional and global markets.

Authors: Gajdošík Tomáš 
Published: February 2019

Abstract
Nowadays, tourism sector needs to adapt to a very fast changing environment and stronger competitiveness. Smart tourism describes the current stage of tourism development influenced by the evolution of information technologies and is becoming a promising way how to face the new market conditions. The aim of the paper is to review the conceptual foundations of smart tourism and to analyse the development of smart tourism initiative in Central Europe, specifically in Slovakia. The paper adopts an exploratory multiple case study methodology, focusing on information technologies used by Central European tourists, willingness of data sharing and the use of the state-of-the-art technologies in tourism businesses. Moreover, the smart concept is examined based on the (SA)6 framework in three tourism destinations. The paper concludes that smart tourism should not be the ultimate goal, but with the help of technology, innovation, and cooperation, it should bring better tourist experience, wellbeing of residents, enhance effectiveness and competitiveness of businesses and destinations, and lead to overall competitive sustainability.
Modeling of the Adsorption/Desorption Characteristics and Properties of Anthocyanins from Extruded Red Cabbage Juice by Macroporous Adsorbent Resin
Authors: Zhang Pingjing , Wang Liping , Fang Sheng 
Published: February 2019

Abstract
The adsorption/desorption characteristics, modeling and properties of anthocyanins from extruded red cabbage juice by macroporous resins were investigated. The static adsorption and desorption capacities of red cabbage anthocyanins on five macroporous resins were measured and compared. The X-5 resin showed the best capacities and was selected for the adsorption kinetics, isotherms and elution studies. The pseudo-second-order kinetic model and Langmuir isotherm model were used to describe the adsorption process and mechanism. Dynamic adsorption and desorption tests were performed on a fixed-bed column, and the loading and eluent conditions were optimized. The purity of anthocyanins in freeze-dried purified powder by the resin adsorption process is 21.3 ± 0.9 wt % and shows better stability in the air than the unpurified one. Finally, the antioxidant activity and color properties including color density, color intensity, color tonality and degradation index of the purified powders were measured.

Abstract

Background:
The objective of the study was to investigate the response of 64Arg allele carriers of the ADRB3 gene (Trp64Arg polymorphism) in the anthropometric, cardiorespiratory and metabolic variables in overweight adolescents after a 12-week aerobic exercise and nutritional program.

Methods:
A total of 92 overweight adolescents, 10–16 years old and of both genders, participated. Body composition, waist circumference (WC), pubertal stage status, blood pressure, glucose, insulin and lipid profile and direct maximal oxygen uptake were assessed at baseline and after 12 weeks of a training program. The homeostasis metabolic assessments [homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR)] and quantitative insulin sensitivity check index (QUICKI) were determined and the Trp64Arg polymorphism of the ADRB3 gene was investigated by Taqman single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) genotyping assays. Exercise sessions consisted of 100-min aerobic exercise and 20-min stretching, 3 times a week, totalizing 36 sessions. Multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA), analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) and effect size were used for variables, with p<0.05 considered significant.

Results:
In baseline, HOMA-IR was higher in carriers of the 64Arg allele and decreased more after 12 weeks than in non-carriers (p=0.01). The anthropometric, physical fitness and metabolic profiles had similar responses after training in carriers and non-carriers.

Conclusions:
Overweight adolescents present changes in body composition and physical fitness, independent of Trp64Arg genotypes. However, a 12-week aerobic exercise and nutritional program promoted greater reductions in insulin resistance in carriers of the 64Arg allele.
Growth of patients with congenital adrenal hyperplasia due to 21-hydroxylase in infancy, glucocorticoid requirement and the role of mineralocorticoid therapy
Authors: Sellick Jack , Aldridge Sarah , Thomas Matthew , Cheetham Tim 
Published: February 2019

Abstract

Background
The dose of hydrocortisone therapy required to maintain normal growth in infants with congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) due to 21-hydroxylase deficiency is lower than in later childhood. This reflects the presence of excess non-aromatisable rather than aromatisable androgen but there has been relatively little focus on the role of mineralocorticoid therapy.

Methods
Growth data of infants with CAH due to 21-hydroxylase deficiency (2008–2016) were reviewed and information regarding hydrocortisone and fludrocortisone regimen was collected. Change in height standard deviation (SD) and height velocity standard deviation score (SDS) were analysed during the first year of life.

Results
Growth data from 13 children (8 M) were analysed. Height (length) declined from a median of −0.69 SD at 3 months to −1.23 SD at 12 months with a reduction in height velocity SDS from 0.02 between 3 and 6 months to −2.22 between 9 and 12 months (p=0.017) despite a hydrocortisone dose at the lower end of the range as recommended in consensus guidelines. The glucocorticoid activity of hydrocortisone and fludrocortisone was negatively associated with growth velocity (r=−0.55; p=0.049) although renin activity was not suppressed.

Conclusions
Infants with 21-hydroxylase deficiency can be managed with replacement hydrocortisone. The reasons for this paradigm are now understood although our data confirm that the glucocorticoid activity of fludrocortisone needs to be taken into consideration as well.

Analytical Determination of Residual Stresses from Surface Topography Created by Laser Cutting Technology
Authors: Šafář Marek , Harničárová Marta , Kušnerová Milena , Valíček Jan 
Published: February 2019

Abstract
This paper describes a numerical modeling method that utilizes stress equations derived from surface topography created by laser cutting technology. The explanatory ability of the geometric phenomena of the created surface topography is an essential analytical tool for the physical-mathematical formulation of the principle of laser cutting processes. As experimental meaterial was used structural steel of type S355J0 and CP-Ti Grade 2. A cutting machine from Prima Industry - ZAPHIRO / CV5000 was used. The new derived relations for the determination of the residual stress were determined and verified by experiment. The objective of this paper is to contribute to the understanding of process-related stresses and deformations generated by laser cutting technology, particularly by ultrasound testing of stress inside the material and significantly influenced by surface topography.
Mechanical Properties and Their Quantification Particularly When Transiting from Elastic to Plastic State on Materials Cut by AWJ
Authors: Šafář Marek , Harničárová Marta , Kušnerová Milena , Valíček Jan 
Published: February 2019

Abstract
Mechanical behaviour of materials during and after cutting process is depended on various factors. Surface topography is set of factors including mechanical and geometrical properties. From the surface topography, it is possible to resolve the transition from ideally elastic to quasi-elastic and plastic stress-strain states, particularly by finding a neutral plane of cut, where the compressive and tensile components are still in equilibrium. The paper solves the problem of the nonexistence of a new method for calculation of dynamics of stress-deformation states of deformation tool-material systems including the construction of stress-strain diagrams. The presented solution focuses on explaining the mechanical behavior of materials after cutting by abrasive waterjet technology (AWJ) which is a flexible tool accurately responding to the mechanical resistance of the material according to the accurately determined shape and roughness of machined surfaces. Theoretical results were compared by a certified laboratory VUHZ.
