Speculation and the End of Fiction
Authors: Tygstrup Frederik 
Published: January 2017

AbstractThe propensity for speculation within modernity is well established. It ranges from the artifices of the “as if” – the thrills of imagining that everything that is might also be different, codified by Robert Musil as an inherent “sense of the possible” – to the daring betting on the “what if,” invoking better futures with an utopian spark or grim prospects to hedge oneself against. The twin inclinations to imagine the different and to project the future are the hinges of the modern imagination. In the early eighteenth century, three powerful media of speculation came into being almost at the same time: the calculus of probability, paper money, and literary fiction. In different ways, they enabled agencies of correlating what is and what is not – whether in terms of risk assessment, circulation of capital, or social self fashioning. By the beginning of the 21st century, these media of speculation seem to have reached a point of excess. With big data, probabilistic speculation is about to accustom us to read “what if”-questions in an altogether indicative mode, just as big finance has succeeded in reversing the hierarchy between value assets and the media of liquid capital. This then raises the question of what happens to the third medium of speculation in our late modernity, that of fiction? This article attempts to diagnose the fate of fiction in an age of hypertrophied speculation, how practices of fiction-making migrate, how the functions of fiction transform, and eventually how our present notion of fiction is due for a conceptual makeover.
Images of the Human Being
Authors: Wulf Christoph 
Published: January 2017

Abstract
Human beings create images of themselves in all cultures and historical periods. They need these images to communicate about themselves and to understand themselves. Images of the human being are designs and projections of the human being. They are formed in order to visualize representations of the human being or individual aspects of a person. These representations are simplifications of human diversity and complexity. Images of the human being are irreducible. They arise because we communicate about ourselves and must develop similarities and feelings of belonging with other people. They are the result of complex anthropological processes in which social and cultural power structures play an important role. Owing to their iconic character, they reduce the complexity of the person and his or her being-in-the-world to select features and do not create a complete view of the person.
Few regulatory metabolites coordinate expression of central metabolic genes in Escherichia coli

Published: January 2017

AbstractTranscription networks consist of hundreds of transcription factors with thousands of often overlapping target genes. While we can reliably measure gene expression changes, we still understand relatively little why expression changes the way it does. How does a coordinated response emerge in such complex networks and how many input signals are necessary to achieve it? Here, we unravel the regulatory program of gene expression in Escherichia coli central carbon metabolism with more than 30 known transcription factors. Using a library of fluorescent transcriptional reporters, we comprehensively quantify the activity of central metabolic promoters in 26 environmental conditions. The expression patterns were dominated by growth rate‐dependent global regulation for most central metabolic promoters in concert with highly condition‐specific activation for only few promoters. Using an approximate mathematical description of promoter activity, we dissect the contribution of global and specific transcriptional regulation. About 70% of the total variance in promoter activity across conditions was explained by global transcriptional regulation. Correlating the remaining specific transcriptional regulation of each promoter with the cell's metabolome response across the same conditions identified potential regulatory metabolites. Remarkably, cyclic AMP, fructose‐1,6‐bisphosphate, and fructose‐1‐phosphate alone explained most of the specific transcriptional regulation through their interaction with the two major transcription factors Crp and Cra. Thus, a surprisingly simple regulatory program that relies on global transcriptional regulation and input from few intracellular metabolites appears to be sufficient to coordinate E. coli central metabolism and explain about 90% of the experimentally observed transcription changes in 100 genes.
“Aprender a cair”: Nussbaum, Coetzee, Gaita
Authors: Sattler Janyne 
Published: January 2017

Tomando como ponto de partida o conto de Ann Beattie, “Learning to Fall”, o presente texto considera as possibilidades pedagógico-morais abertas à literatura ao traçar um diagnóstico crítico, e negativo, a respeito das falhas das filosofias morais tradicionais quanto ao aspecto mais vulnerável de nossa humanidade, insistindo na importância de um aprendizado amplo, lento e disciplinado de nossas “quedas” através de leituras e amizades essencialmente literárias.
Revisiting the Mind-Brain Reductionisms: Contra Dualism and Eliminativism
Authors: Oliveira Nythamar de 
Published: January 2017

In this paper, I should like to argue against both eliminative materialism and substance/property dualism, aiming more specifically at the reductionist arguments offered by the Churchlands’ and Swinburne’s versions thereof, insofar as they undermine moral beliefs qua first-personish accounts dismissed as folk psychology by the former, as the latter regards them as supervening on natural events extendedly, that is, necessarily both ways of the biconditional linking mental and physical substances (for every A-substance x there is a B-substance y, such that necessarily if y exists x exists).
A teoria cantoriana dos números transfinitos: sua relação com o pensamento analógico-geométrico
Authors: Gomide Walter 
Published: January 2017

Neste pequeno artigo, analiso como a intuição geométrica estava presente no desenvolvimento seminal da teoria cantoriana dos conjuntos. Deste fato, decorre que a noção de conjunto ou de número transfinito não era tratada por Cantor como algo que merecesse uma fundamentação lógica. Os paradoxos que surgiram na teoria de Cantor são fruto de tal descompromisso inicial, e as tentativas ulteriores de resolvê-los fizeram com que aspectos intuitivos e esperados sobre os conjuntos ou infinito se perdessem. Em especial, observa-se aqui as consequências “não geométricas” do axioma da construtibilidade de Gödel.

Portuguese cultural identity: from colonialism to post-colonialism: Social memories, images and representations of identity
Authors: Baptista Maria Manuel 
Published: January 2017

This reflection aims to analyse the relation between the memory and identity of the colonial Portuguese in Africa, according to how they were represented in Portuguese cinema until the end of the 20th century. We chose five examples, which we considered most illustrative (three feature-length fictional films and two comedies), which demonstrate the diverse ways in which the Portuguese were represented in terms of identity, as ‘civilising agents’ for the African people. Thus, we can consider that the cultural identity of the Portuguese in Africa, as portrayed in Portuguese cinema in the 20th century, had three distinct phases: we designated the first as ‘The invention of an Empire’, the second as ‘a Portuguese colonialism’, and a final stage, which is entitled with the expression ‘Exiled from nowhere’. In the final part of this study, we discuss the possibility of understanding colonial and post-colonial identities and memories, from a wide range of modalities related to Myself and the Other, which require the continuation of a (re)construction of memories and identities, in a framework of exercising individual and collection liberty: a work of Sísifo, infinite by nature.

The Relationship between Emotional, Social, Cultural, Spiritual Intelligence and EFL Teachers’ Teaching Effectiveness
Authors: Nikoopour Jahanbakhsh , Esfandiari Nadimeh 
Published: January 2017

The present study attempted to investigate the relationship between EFL teachers’ emotional, social, cultural, spiritual intelligence and their teaching effectiveness in EFL contexts. Teaching effectiveness was investigated as perceived by EFL teachers, observers and learners based on a data-triangulated procedure. A total of 126 EFL teachers, 266 learners and 31 EFL observers selected randomly from various educational districts in Tehran participated in the study. The EFL teachers were required to answer self-report questionnaires of Teaching Effectiveness Scale (TES), Emotional Intelligence Questionnaire (TEIQue), Cultural Intelligence Scale (CQS), Tromsø Social Intelligence Scale (TSIS) and Integrated Spiritual Intelligence Scale (ISIS) respectively. The EFL observers and learners were also required to answer Teaching Effectiveness Scale (TES) to reveal their perception of their teachers’ teaching effectiveness. The study revealed that among EFL teachers, there was a significant correlation between teaching effectiveness and TEQ, but the correlation between teaching effectiveness and the three other types of intelligence (SQ, CQ, & SPQ) was not significant. The three groups of participants (teachers, observers, and learners) showed a significant difference in their perception of effective teaching. In further analysis, gender made a significant difference in TEQ, but female and male EFL teachers did not show a significant difference in their CQ, SQ, SPQ and effective teaching. University degree caused a significant difference in SQ and TEQ, but not in TE, SPQ and CQ. However, teaching experience and age made a significant difference in all four variables under the study.
Study of Writing Problem in College General English Course—Reflection on the Reform of College English Course
Authors: Wang Shujuan , Zhang Yue 
Published: January 2017

Since the end of 2014, many well-known universities in China have launched an another English course reform under the guidance of College English Teaching promulgated by the Department of Education. They reform general English course into Special English course in order to improve students’ English writing capacity. We can see that the improvement and development of students’ English writing skills and ability have become the core content in this English course reform. This study examines the problem of non-English major students’ English writing in General English course based on the systemic functional linguistics and gives some suggestions. A variety of factors that influence English writing are found, such as the attitude toward English writing, the learning approach and strategy, the number of vocabulary, the integrity of sentence, the coherence of discourse and the transfer of native language. These factors interact to influence the development of students’ English writing ability. Some findings are different from the researches of predecessors. In addition, the survey about English writing sources and self-evaluation are helpful to analyze the problems. This study highlights the influence of discourse and suggests to pay more attention to cultivate students’ discourse awareness.
Estimation of Order Restricted Normal Means when the Variances Are Unknown and Unequal

<p dir="ltr">In the present paper, two normal distributions with parameters <span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="font-size: medium;">μ</span><sub><span style="font-size: small;">i </span></sub></span>and <span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="font-size: medium;">σ</span><span style="font-size: small;"><sub>i</sub><sup>2 </sup></span></span>where there is an order restriction on the means when the variances are unknown and unequal are considered. Under the squared error loss function, a necessary and sufficient condition for the plug-in estimators to improve upon the unrestricted maximum likelihood estimators uniformly is given. Also under the modified Pitman nearness criterion; a class of estimators is considered that reduce to the estimators of a common mean when the unbiased estimators violate the order restriction. It is shown that the most critical case for uniform improvement with regard to the unbiased estimators is the one when two means are equal. To illustrate the results, two numerical examples are presented.</p>
The Pleasures of Polyglossia in Emirati Cinema: Focus on ‘From A to B’ and ‘Abdullah’
Authors: Hambuch Doris 
Published: January 2017

<p>Polyglot films highlight the coexistence of multiple languages at the level of dialogue and narration. Even the notoriously monolingual Hollywood film industry has recently seen an increase in polyglot productions. Much of Europe’s polyglot cinema reflects on post-war migration. Hamid Naficy has coined the phrase “accented cinema” to define diasporic filmmaking, a closely related category. The present essay considers polyglot Emirati films as part of an increasingly popular global genre. It argues that the lack of a monolingual mandate is conducive to experiments with language choices, and that the polyglot genre serves best to emphasize efforts made to accommodate the diversity of cultures interacting in urban centers in the United Arab Emirates. Case studies of Ali F. Mostafa’s <em>From A to B</em> (2014) and Humaid Alsuwaidi’s <em>Abdullah</em> (2015) demonstrate the considerable contributions Emirati filmmakers have already made to a genre, which offers a powerful potential for cinema in the UAE. A comparative analysis identifies the extent to which each of the two films reveals elements inherent in three of the five sub-categories outlined by Chris Wahl.</p><p><em>Keywords</em>: Ali Mostafa; Emirati cinema; film analysis; Humaid Alsuwaidi; multilingualism; polyglot cinema </p>
The Rise of Body Studies and the Embodiment of Society: A Review of the Field
Authors: Shilling Chris 
Published: January 2017

<p>During the last few decades there has been a pronounced ‘turn to the body’ within sociology and social thought. Exploring the background to and the parameters of this development, this paper explores how this focus on embodiment has been used to develop new perspectives within social and cultural analysis, and can be assessed as an essential means of avoiding the Cartesian bias within much Western thought. Revisiting sociology’s heritage, it then identifies important resources for this project within classical writings, before analyzing why the body has become such a contested phenomenon within social analysis and society. As developments in science, medicine and technology have made the body increasingly malleable, so too have they made it subject to debates and disagreements about what is normal, desirable and even sacred about the physical identities and capacities of embodied subjects.</p><p><em>Keywords: </em>the body, embodiment, sociology, structures/agency, social inequalities.</p>
HISTÓRIA DA COMUNICAÇÃO NA AMAZÔNIA: por entre construções e reconstruções
Authors: Munaro Luis Francisco , Seixas Netília Silva dos Anjos , Porto Junior Francisco Gilson Rebouças 
Published: January 2017

Várias iniciativas têm buscado vencer as enormes distâncias e retirar as universidades nortistas do encapsulamento em que muitas vezes se encontram. É sabido que o trânsito difícil entre os estados e o número escasso de doutores na região tornam as iniciativas conjuntas um esforço hercúleo. Estas iniciativas de intercâmbio e diálogo têm se dado mais na forma de “trabalho de formiguinha”, com várias e crescentes ações individuais. Este dossiê é uma destas ações. Com ele pretende-se, junto aos esforços da Associação Brasileira de Pesquisadores de História da Mídia (ALCAR), abrir espaço para a condução mais integrada de pesquisas cuja proposta principal é a investigação da Amazônia, sua Mídia e sua História. A persistência da Revista Observatório permitiu a construção desse conjunto de estudos sobre a temática história da mídia. Embora seja uma revista voltada para o intercâmbio entre comunicação, jornalismo e educação, houve espaço e demanda para o mapeamento da produção midiática na longa região pensada como Amazônia. A edição se escora na questão definidora de como os homens amazônicos utilizaram a mídia para dar um sentido para a Amazônia. Ou, ainda, como pensaram a si mesmos e como buscaram cristalizar essa identidade através do uso das crescentes tecnologias de mídia disponíveis?
