Abstract
Zeolites demonstrating better SCR of NOx performance due to wide temperature activity, hydrothermal stability and N2 selectivity have been identified under a joint research initiative by the Research Association of Automotive Internal Combustion Engines (AICE), Japan. Based on the AICE’s standards, over 25 zeolites with different structures and pore dimensions were investigated and their SCR efficiency and durability have been compared. While the performances of the top contenders cannot be related to a single parameter, the results suggest that the SAR, Cu quality/quantity, pore dimensions, diffusivity and acidity play a combined role in deciding the SCR activity and selectivity.
A Direct Synthesis of Trisubstituted Allenes from Propargyl Alcohols via Oxaphosphetane Intermediates
Authors: Iwai Kento , Yokoyama Soichi , Asahara Haruyasu , Nishiwaki Nagatoshi 
Published: December 2017

Abstract
A direct synthetic method for trisubstituted allenes from propargyl alcohol is provided; the synthesis proceeds via an oxaphosphetane intermediate. Functional groups such as formyl and pyridyl exhibited a degree of tolerance during reaction without any protection. The alcohol dimethylated at the propargyl position afforded two structural isomers, allene and 1,3-diene. The product ratio was considerably influenced by the solvent. Allene was predominantly obtained when the reaction was conducted in cyclohexane, and the ratio was inverted by changing the solvent to dichloromethane. The prepared (2-pyridyl)allene served as a substrate for the copper(I) catalyzed cyclization reaction to afford 3,3-dimethylindolizine-2-one.
Utopia as method in children’s literature research
Authors: Deszcz-Tryhubczak Justyna 
Published: December 2017

Abstract
This article discusses the significance of Jack Zipes’s contribution to the field of children’s studies in the context of utopianism, and outlines the influence of his work on scholars exploring utopian writing for children. It also proposes that Zipes’s research and his work with young readers, for example in the Neighborhood Bridges drama project, exemplifies the use of utopia as method, an approach proposed by Ruth Levitas as a critical tool to expose the deficiencies of the present and develop possible futures. The article also argues for extending the application of the utopian method to the study of children’s literature, in the form of participatory methodologies aimed at involving young readers as partners in the research process. It concludes with a plea for children’s literature scholars to look at Zipes’s work as paving the way for more publicly and politically engaged children’s literature scholarship.
Luzel’s ghosts: The unfinished business of translating folk tales for performance
Authors: Wilson Michael 
Published: December 2017

Abstract
This article emerges from the author’s work on translating a selection of folktales collected by the nineteenth-century Breton folklorist François-Marie Luzel. It argues for a new approach to the translation of folktale texts that draws less from the traditions of literary translation and more from the current thinking around stage translation. It proposes that our understanding of the folktale text could benefit from a consideration of theatre scholarship (particularly Marvin Carlson’s theories of ‘ghosting’) and that the emergence in recent decades of the figure of the contemporary professional storyteller asks us to think of the folktale not simply as a text of performance, but as a text for performance. Furthermore, it argues that the act of translation is in itself an act of performance, made within the context of all pervious performances and is, therefore, like all performances, provisional, incomplete and subject to revision.
‘By the Will of the Pike’: The transformation of a Russian national character
Authors: Nikolajeva Maria 
Published: December 2017

Abstract
This article explores some versions and film adaptations of the Russian folk tale about lazy Yemelya and the wish-granting pike. It argues that the folk tale reflects fundamental traits of Russian mentality and demonstrates how the versions transform the main character according to the prevalent ideology of their particular socio-historical context. For instance, the film adaptations created during the Soviet regime replace the lazy, simple-minded and self-conceited protagonist of the folk tale with a kind and brave representative of the ‘ordinary people’ oppressed by the king. In various paratexts he is invariably characterized as ‘kind and brave’. Moreover, he is portrayed as hard-working, clever and good-looking, which makes the pike’s gift a reward for existing virtue rather than an unexpected piece of luck, emphasizing class conflict and solidarity with the poor. A closer look at the film versions confirms Jack Zipes’s claim that folk tales are frequently employed for ideological purposes.
Mirrors and webs: Fairy tales, cultural memory and trauma in Helen Oyeyemi’s Boy, Snow, Bird and Neil Gaiman’s Anansi Boys
Authors: Tatar Maria 
Published: December 2017

Abstract
Helen Oyeyemi and Neil Gaiman both draw on the mythical imagination in their novels about hyperdysfunctional families and the process of healing from traumatic experience. Invoking the racially encoded story known to European and Anglo-American cultures as ‘Snow White’ as well as on a dilemma tale from African cultures, Helen Oyeyemi reconfigures both stories in Boy, Snow, Bird to take up the complexities of race, gender, and identity and to navigate the fraught terrain of mother–daughter relationships. Neil Gaiman’s Anansi Boys turns to the rich repertoire of stories about African Tricksters for a portrait of the artist as a figure who works his way through conflicted family relationships to an understanding of ambivalence, duplicity, and deceit as life-sustaining dispositions. Both writers invoke totem creatures and fairy-tale tropes to guide us through the thickets of domestic drama and psychic trauma.
An oddly modern fairy tale for Jack Zipes
Authors: Warner Marina 
Published: December 2017

Abstract
The title, An Oddly Modern Fairy Tale, is a reference to the series edited by Jack Zipes for Princeton University Press, which includes retellings, translations and rediscoveries of fairy tales. To these various forms of engagement with tales of wonder, the author of this article has added what she describes as an ‘anti-fairy tale’ of three wealthy Sicilian siblings who recused themselves in differing ways from the twentieth century. The youngest, Lucio, was a lyric poet whose work was admired by both Lampedusa and Montale. His older brother, Casimiro, was a photographer and painter of unsettling watercolours of pop-eyed gnomes and sprites. These he claimed to have witnessed going about their otherworldly lives among the exotic plants that their sister, Agata Giovanna, bought for the extensive gardens whose borders she rarely left. The story ends with Lucio’s attempt – both farcical and tragic – to secure a future for the family through the birth of an heir, which resembles similar attempts by Tancredi in Lampedusa’s masterpiece The Leopard.
Online political trolling in the context of post-Gezi social media in Turkey
Authors: Karatas Duygu , Saka Erkan 
Published: December 2017

Abstract
Drawing on the approach suggesting that the analysis of social media in relation to democracy should be provided within its own social context, we outline the social media activities adopted by the ruling populist political party in Turkey, namely, the Justice and Development Party (AKP), aimed at reinforcing its political ideology. We also unpack the ‘political online trolling’ as a manifestation of online practices driving the post-truth politics in Turkey. Following the Gezi protests, when social media and, in particular, Twitter gained trust and popularity as a news source due to severe censorship and polarization in the traditional mass media, the AKP adopted an aggressive strategy to attack and destroy all opposition as well as to manipulate public opinion through their political trolling activities. Employing the approach of digital ethnography and drawing on the archive of mass media outputs about the trolling events, we discuss how the ruling party has adopted online political trolling as a strategy, one that is deeply embedded in the political system, politicians and mainstream media. We also explain how trolling practices are facilitated by the coordinated work of these institutions to silence all critical opposing voices, in particular journalists and how they stifle public debate that is grounded in truth and evidence. We have also concluded that the chilling effects of political trolling lead to quitting social media, self-censorship and less participation in public debate of unprotected citizens who are the most vulnerable targets for the trolls. The trolls have targeted the dissent voices not only for criticizing the government publicly, but also to brand them as terrorists and traitors through increasingly polarizing and discriminating language based on nationalist and religious perspectives, which peaked in the aftermath of the 15 July coup attempt and the debates on the presidential regime. Far from condemnation of the trolling activities along with their polarizing and hateful rhetoric, the mainstream culture and public discourse seem to have been taken over by an increasing trolling subculture, which inhibits public debate, discredits the sources of truth, fosters fanaticism and encourages a hate discourse and violence, all of which are undermining democracy.

‘Queer Italian migrations’: Tonino De Bernardi’s Rosatigre (Tiger Rose) (2000) and the reconfiguring of Roberto Rossellini’s Stromboli, terra di Dio (Stromboli, Land of God) (1950)
Authors: Brett Oliver 
Published: December 2017

Abstract
The documentary film focusing on queer identities in post-Millennial Italy reveals interesting key features, including the often intense collaboration of filmmakers and their subjects, the hybridity of genre and interrogation of those representations and identities being explored, and the increased agency and performance of participants. While, respectively, requiring further research, these features reflect what appears to be a propensity towards the ‘intertextual’. I approach this aspect here through Tonino De Bernardi’s sensory challenging ‘docu-fiction’ film Rosatigre (Tiger Rose) in 2000, which exploits, alongside the more general conventions of cinema, Roberto Rossellini’s Stromboli, terra di Dio (Stromboli, Land of God) in 1950. Positioned in relation to a corpus of other texts, I consider how these two films explore the issue of ‘migration’ beyond fixed categories. In talking of queers who migrate but also of queering migration, an interconnection of various narratives can be seen to broaden our understanding of the migrant figure in the Italian context.
From exclusion to expression in A Sud di Lampedusa and Come un uomo sulla terra: Visualizing detention centres along Italy-bound migrant routes
Authors: Fiore Teresa 
Published: December 2017

Abstract
The article analyses two Italian documentaries – A sud di Lampedusa (South of Lampedusa) by Andrea Segre et al. (2006) and Come un uomo sulla terra (Like a Man on Earth) by Andrea Segre et al. (2008) – whose novelty lies in their focus on the Sahara Desert crossing of undocumented migrants instead of the more common Mediterranean crossing, and in the latter film, the recollection of the traumatic experience of the detention in Africa once they arrive in Italy. The films reverse the effacement typical of news reportages by giving direct voice and agency to the migrants through interviews, or also including the migrants in the filmmaking process. In denouncing the trans-national government-assisted control and exclusion of migrants, the two documentaries visualize through silence, storytelling, and props what remains otherwise ‘undocumentable’ – the detention centres – of which the article offers a brief history as places of ‘legal exception’ both in Africa and Italy.
Continuity and change in Italian discourse on migration: A focus on mainstream television documentaries
Authors: Orrù Paolo 
Published: December 2017

Abstract
The goal of this article is to employ the means of critical discourse analysis to verify the contribution made by news documentaries to the discussion on the topic of migration in Italian journalism. My case studies include three documentaries screened on the national broadcaster (RAI): La neve la prima volta (Snow for the First Time) (Cataldi, 2014), Quando Youssef si mise in cammino (When Youssef Started His Walk) (Cataldi, 2015) and La lunga Marcia (The Long Route) (Ricucci, 2015). The documentaries deal with a range of issues regarding migration in the European Union, such as the construction of European external borders; policies of migrant management; human rights; prejudice towards foreigners. The article will take a closer look at lexical terms, metaphors and other rhetorical forms. Linguistic evidence has been jointly analysed with the visual construction on-screen since they both participate in the meaning-making process of the documentary as a whole.
In the eye of the beholder: The Orientalist representation of Chinese migrants in Italian documentaries
Authors: Pedone Valentina 
Published: December 2017

Abstract
Beginning in the mid-2000s, a number of documentaries about Chinese migration to Italy have been produced both by professional directors and by amateurs, all with no Chinese background, that are mainly aimed at revealing the hidden ‘reality’ of the Chinese immigration population on one hand and, on the other hand, at discarding some of the wide spread prejudices about this group. I selected five of the professionally shot documentaries in order to analyse how they portray the Chinese migrant presence in Italy. While all of these documentaries make an important effort to present Chinese migration to Italy as a positive phenomenon, Orientalism as well as elements of cultural essentialism can still persist. My analysis focuses on the points of view that different directors adopt in depicting Chinese life in Italy, stressing if, where, and how their narratives emphasize cultural distance, otherness and essentialism.
‘Comics on the Main Street of Culture’: Alan Moore and Eddie Campbell’s From Hell (1999), Laura Oldfield Ford’s Savage Messiah (2011) and the politics of gentrification
Authors: Davies Dominic 
Published: December 2017

Abstract
Through a comparative discussion of Alan Moore and Eddie Campbell’s From Hell (serialized 1989−96, collected 1999), which is now widely marketed as a ‘graphic novel’, and Laura Oldfield Ford’s more self-consciously subcultural zine, Savage Messiah (serialized 2005 to 2009, collected 2011), this article explores the correlation between the gentrification of the comics form and the urban gentrification of city space − especially that of East London, which is depicted in both of these sequential art forms. The article emphasizes that both these urban and cultural landscapes are being dramatically reshaped by the commodification and subsequent marketization of their subcultural or marginalized spaces, before exploring the extent to which this process neutralizes their subversive qualities and limits democratic access to them. In conclusion, however, the article demonstrates that comics artists tend to collect their ephemeral comics and publish them as marketable graphic novels not to commodify them, nor to maximize their profits. Rather, they do so in order to reach a wider readership and thereby to mobilize their subversive, anti-gentrification political content more effectively, constituting radical urban subcultures that resist the reshaping of London into a segregated and discriminatory cityscape.
A dark imaginarium: The Bridge, Malmö and the making of a ‘non-existent’ place
Authors: Saunders Robert A. 
Published: December 2017

Abstract
The article assesses the role of (hyper-)mediatized placemaking on the city of Malmö, Sweden, contextualizing the creation of an imaginary ‘southern Scandinavian city’ on top of a real urban zone with exceptional attributes and serious challenges. Paying close attention to Malmö’s image within and beyond Nordic Europe, I draw on three sets of artefacts to interrogate this phenomenon: (1) the visual and narrative content of the Swedish Danish television series The Bridge (2011–present), (2) tourism development strategies and tactics employed by the city of Malmö and (3) museological interpretations of the interplay between the conceived, lived and perceived spaces and places of Malmö. In doing so, this article seeks to advance and deepen of the discussion of screen tourism in influencing geographical imagination and place branding.
Glossy postcards and virtual collectibles: Consuming cinematic Paris
Authors: McNeill Isabelle 
Published: December 2017

Abstract
This article examines the touristic consumption of Paris in cinema, through a concept of the cinematic postcard as a commodification of history and place, arguing that film participates in and also illuminates touristic relations to the city. The article proposes two iterations of the cinematic postcard: a ‘glossy’ postcard that incorporates past and present into a cohesively framed urban space, and ‘virtual collectibles’ that encourage the serial accumulation of familiar signs of place. While connected through a nostalgic relation to the urban past, these iterations reflect different anxieties about the city and are emphasized in different aesthetic strategies, which the article pursues through close analysis of two films: Vincent Minnelli’s An American in Paris (1951) and Woody Allen’s Midnight in Paris (2011). In the troubled Paris of the early post-war years, the tourist gaze of cinema provided a cohesive image constructed from a selective, cultural past, anticipating a postmodern aesthetic of nostalgia as identified by Fredric Jameson. In the age of what Boris Groys calls ‘total tourism’ and its proliferation of the collection and online display of images of place, the emphasis has shifted from transmission to the virtual collection of desirable, analogue images of Paris.
New South, ‘New Athens?’: Angels, mobility and myths
Authors: Luger Jason 
Published: December 2017

Abstract
This article critically deconstructs the notion of the ‘New South’ using the case of Charlotte, North Carolina, a prototypical ‘New South’ city. Using the framework of Henri Lefebvre’s ‘right to the city’, specifically the themes of ‘mobility’, ‘access’ and ‘oeuvre’ (the art of city-making) – the following will argue that the ‘New South’ is a neo-liberal repackaging of entrenched race, class and geo-spatial segregation. The business-friendly repositioning of this former textile city, combined with a sprawling urban form with decentralized employment opportunities, along with disinvestment and re-segregation in public education – have all contributed towards the scattering and division of a coherent working class. Therefore, lack of access, lack of participation and exclusion from centrality mean that marginalized groups (including the LGBTQ, African American and white working-class and poor communities) face difficulty realizing Lefebvre’s conditions of ‘New Athens’, the ‘impossible’ utopian city.
Smoothing space in Palestine: Building a skatepark and a socio-political forum with the SkatePal charity
Authors: Abulhawa Dani 
Published: December 2017

Abstract
The history of skateboarding’s development is closely connected to water and fluidity, with the birth of modern ramp practice commonly attributed to Californian surfers, who used the undulating asphalt and concrete of the urban LA landscape as a replacement for sea waves when the surf was flat. This fluidity and adaptability is echoed in scholarly and populist discourse, which tends to discuss skateboarders’ abilities to be resourceful and playful within environments available to them, to adopt simulation alongside innovative DIY approaches when building their own environments and to form supportive networks across cultural boundaries. There has also been much growth in recent years of skateboarding development projects, particularly in areas of conflict and political unrest. This article focuses on my experiences with the SkatePal charity – which has been building skateparks and teaching children to skateboard in the Occupied Palestinian Territories since 2013.
Global social activism, DIY culture and lack of institutional help
Authors: del Pozo Jorge González 
Published: December 2017

Abstract
Since the 2008 world economic crisis, new and different ways of community organization, resilience and urban initiatives for provisioning and survival have emerged all over the world in an attempt to create urban spaces and opportunities in areas where institutions and governments are unable or unwilling to devote time and resources. Also, economic and sustainable models have found physical spaces from which to operate in the aftermath of the crisis and outside the ontological frame of extreme neo-liberalism. This article discusses the approximations to these initiatives in three texts addressing urban contexts in the United States (Detroit), Spain (Seville, Barcelona, Bilbao and Madrid) and Mexico (Mexico City). These three works call attention to the specificity of these projects and expose recent approaches to community building and organizational solutions in the Hispanic world.
