Una poética de la convocatoria. La literatura comunista de Raúl González Tuñón by María Fernanda Alle

Reviewed by: Una poética de la convocatoria. La literatura comunista de Raúl González Tuñón by María Fernanda Alle Marta Sierra Alle, María Fernanda. Una poética de la convocatoria. La literatura comunista de Raúl González Tuñón. Rosario, Argentina, Beatriz Viterbo Editora, 2019, 490 pp. María Fernanda Alle focuses on the communist years of Argentinean writer Raúl González Tuñón, an author who, for decades, remained understudied, and has recently received critical attention due to the versatility of his poetry and prose, as well as to his long-lasting aesthetic and political engagement. Una poética de la convocatoria centers on González Tuñón’s literary production between 1930 and 1970. A writer who embraced with similar enthusiasm the two main literary styles of his period—social realism and the avant-garde—González Tuñón’s style evolved during the period considered by Alle. In addition to an excellent work of documentation and reconstruction of the author’s oeuvre, María Fernanda Alle provides a comprehensive reading that illuminates González Tuñón’s literary practice from a more nuanced perspective. Alle combines literary and historical readings. Each chapter starts with a detailed historical reconstruction and the placement of literary production within the contexts of the Russian Revolution, the Spanish Civil War, and the revolutionary poetics and art of the 1960s. But equally profound is the detailed close reading and discussion of poetry and essays. The balance between the literary and the historical makes this volume easy to enjoy. The result is an informative perspective that is useful to the non-specialist and the literary critic. This volume sheds light on González Tuñón’s determination in keeping an enduring ideological and aesthetic practice throughout the years. The sections that discuss his engagement with the literary scene of the period—such as the debates with Martin Fierro and Florida, and Sur—are particularly rich. Overall, this book encompasses [End Page 171] the literary reading, documentation, and historical background of González Tuñón’s production from the conciliatory relationship between aesthetics and politics. Divided into three sections, the author shows the inseparable commitment to aesthetics and political action in González Tuñón’s works. “El hombre de su tiempo” addresses the first period of his oeuvre—between 1930 and 1940—and recaptures what Alle calls “Marxism as a fantasy” (55). La calle del agujero de la media (1930), El otro lado de la Estrella (1934), and Todos Bailan (1935) are poetry collections inspired by European travel and international bohemia. This section makes an important contribution by showing how González Tuñón reworked the tradition of Boedo and social realism. He introduced international influences in his works coming from the Russian Revolution and the Spanish Civil War, and shaped them into the more prescriptive style of writing characteristic of Boedo. In the section entitled “Un programa literario bajo la lupa del realismo socialista,” Alle traces the core of González Tuñón’s literary program, in particular, his definition of a romantic realist style. In essays and chronicles inspired by the Spanish Civil War, González Tuñón coined the notion of a literature that balances classic and romantic characteristics to achieve what he conceived as an art of authenticity. Critics have interpreted romantic realism as a poetic form of social realism in González Tuñón, but Alle’s reading—especially of Las puertas del fuego (1938) and La literatura resplandeciente (1976)—goes one step further. As defined in this volume, romantic realism implies the historical, civil or social value of poetry or, in other words, the ways in which poetry engages with society. As the author states, “En la síntesis de esas dos ‘actitudes’—la realista y la romántica—estaría concentrado, para Tuñón, el valor positivo de la literatura y el arte, por oposición del arte ‘inauténtico,’ es decir, aquel que, en pos de la pureza y la exclusividad de la forma, terminaría por servir a los intereses del poder y la explotación y, por consiguiente, se alejaría de las luchas de los pueblos...

La Autoevaluación de Estilos de Enseñanza en Docentes de Educación Superior

La presente investigación tiene por cometido proponer una alternativa a la autoevaluación de los estilos de enseñanza en educación superior. Para lograr lo anterior se realiza una revisión sobre la autoevaluación de los docentes como elemento de evaluación de la docencia, así como sus principales instrumentos. El proyecto opta por la evaluación de los estilos de enseñanza que son analizados y definidos especificando dos perspectivas para su evaluación: funcionalista y pedagógica reflexiva. Finalmente se discuten los retos del análisis psicométrico de este tipo de instrumentos y de la pertinencia del uso de coeficientes de consistencia como el Alfa de Cronbach. Con base en lo anterior, se desarrolla un instrumento en 6 fases que contempla la exploración y posterior definición de estilos de enseñanza que emergen de los datos y que no son dicotómicos ni conceptualizados desde una lógica de eficacia docente. Al calcular la consistencia interna se encuentra como alternativa al Alfa de Cronbach el coeficiente Omega. Se plantea la posibilidad de discutir la estabilidad de los estilos de enseñanza encontrados.

Stochastic Detection of Interior Design Styles Using a Deep-Learning Model for Reference Images

This paper describes an approach for identifying and appending interior design style information stochastically with reference images and a deep-learning model. In the field of interior design, design style is a useful concept and has played an important role in helping people understand and communicate interior design. Previous studies have focused on how the interior design style categories can be defined. On the other hand, this paper focuses on how stochastically recognizing the design style of given interior design reference images using a deep learning-based data-driven approach. The proposed method can be summarized as follows: (1) data preparation based on a general design style definition, (2) implementing an interior design style recognition model using a pre-trained VGG16 model, (3) training and evaluating the trained model, and (4) demonstration of stochastic detection of interior design styles for reference images. The result shows that the trained model automatically recognizes the design styles of given interior images with probability values. The recognition results, model, and trained image set contribute to facilitating the management and utilization of an interior design references database.

The Influence of Musical Style in Perceived Emotion

In this work we address the problem of understanding how musical style influences perceived emotion as well as their pedagogical consequences. The first problem arises when considering the very definition of style. The definition of musical style and how to apply it is thoroughly discussed. Several experiments were carried out in order to gain understanding about the emotional response to musical style. Six styles (Baroque, Classicism, Romanticism, pandiatonicism, twelve-tone serialism, and Phrygian mode) were selected and pieces were composed in those styles to be later played to both musicians and novices. Their perceived emotional response was measured and the results were analyzed thereafter. Differences were found across styles, mode and musical background, including complex patterns in valence and arousal. Last but not least, the knowledge acquired from this research can be incorporated a corpus for application and future study and use in music conservatories and centers for higher education and investigation.

Style Matters! Investigating Linguistic Style in Online Communities

Content has historically been the primary lens used to study language in online communities. This paper instead focuses on the linguistic style of communities. While we know that individuals have distinguishable styles, here we ask whether communities have distinguishable styles. Additionally, while prior work has relied on a narrow definition of style, we employ a broad definition involving 262 features to analyze the linguistic style of 9 online communities from 3 social media platforms discussing politics, television and travel. We find that communities indeed have distinct styles. Also, style is an excellent predictor of group membership (F-score 0.952 and Accuracy 96.09%). While on average it is statistically equivalent to predictions using content alone, it is more resilient to reductions in training data.

Репрезентанты концепта ПАМЯТЬ в свете новых задач стилистики

Starting with the definition of style by K.A. Dolinin, the article proposes to reflect on the perspectives of an interdisciplinary approach to stylistic research, using primarily the achievements of psychology and philosophy, as the style of a literary work is the result of the subject’s choices, which in turn result from his/her individual way of thinking. The interdisciplinary approach will also allow for more effective aesthetic assessment of the work. The article analyses three literary texts based on memories: The childhood years of Bagrov-grandson, serving as a continuation of the Family Chronicle by S.T. Aksakov, The Life of Arsenyev by I.A. Bunin and Be Like Children by V.A. Sharov. On the example of language constructions forming the concept of MEMORY, the researcher shows the factors that influence the choice of language means that ultimately create the individual style of the author. The study proves that this choice is influenced by non-linguistic factors: the situational context, era, the author’s professional and personal experience and education, philosophicaland aesthetic ideas, and other important circumstances that guide the artist’s thinking. Genre rules and current tastes are also of importance. The study shows that the ratio of the number of language constructions regarding experience memory and information memory can characterize the individual style of a given author. It also proves that a broader interdisciplinary view of style allows to see more determinants of the aesthetic value of a work. Among them are: the harmonious structure of the text including its spatial and temporal organization, and the compliance with the broadly understood norm that involves not only the linguistic but also the mental layer of the text, as expressed by appropriately selected means.

Comparing theoretical approaches towards style: Several possible criteria and changing cultural contexts

The main aim of this contribution is to propose a general scheme that provides the possibility of comparing theoretical approaches to style, including approaches rooted in various cultural contexts. This kind of general scheme from the area of comparative stylistics offers the possibility to compare works on style written in various periods and various areas. The proposed scheme describing theoretical concepts of style, moving from linguistic to extralinguistic factors, is a sequence of five simple what-questions (in English, for the sake of the scheme could be simplicity referred to, e.g. as a “5 wh-sequence”): 1) WHAT definition of style is used? 2) WHAT kind of text is dealt with? 3) WHAT varieties of the particular language are taken into consideration? 4) WHAT is the purpose of work with texts? 5) WHAT other extralinguistic factors are taken into consideration? Since each proposed scheme must be tested in practice, two works are chosen for a brief test – namely, two works dealing with Slovak stylistics, published over nine decades apart, which in this particular case means each of them operated in a considerably different cultural context. The main differences between the compared works are 1) the aim – prescription vs. description, and 2) the supposed reader – secondary school students vs. university students (the academic community in general, re- spectively). Other differences are caused mainly by the different stages of the language as well as metalanguage development, and with the development of the language community in general.

Personality test social application system construction - the influence of community platform on personality trait extroversion, real and virtual interpersonal relationship

The rapid change of the times. A smartphone is a part of socialization. Social is a product of the collective society. Different from the social model of the past. The popularity of social software in recent years has also brought about tremendous changes. A social application such as Facebook, Twitter, Whatsapp, etc. All bring a new definition of social style to human society. Since different social software has the same mode of making friends, the face of friends is in appearance or interest. Do we think that dating mode can make changes? There are differences in ’people’. Differences create different individuality, personalities, and traits. Therefore, we use personality traits as the theme to design a mobile-oriented mobile application that allows users to complete the personality test. The topic, whether or not it does not meet its personality traits, has a standard existence. We use the user personality test to test the user’s nine personality scale and can chat and interact with other users through personality matching. Different from general social software, this paper will explore the application value of social software user personality traits, and will have the opportunity to change the interaction mode of today’s social software with different dating experiences, so that the social experience generated by users can be further improved.

Queer-Sensible Designing

Conventional design practices regard gender as a given precondition defined by femininity and masculinity. To shift these strategies to include non-heteronormative or queer users, queer theory served as a source of inspiration as well as user sensitive design techniques. As a result, a co-design workshop was developed and executed. Participants supported claims that gender scripts in designed artefacts uphold gender norms. The practice did not specify a definition of a queer design style. However, the co-design practice opened up the design process to non-normative gender scripts by unmasking binary gender dichotomies in industrial design.

ڕەنگدانەوەی سەبکی عێراقی لە شیعرەكانی حەریقدا

The title of the research is (The reflection of Iraqi Style on Hariq‌s poems) In Persian language the word (Sabk) stands for the word (Style) in English and (Shewaz) in Kurdish. Persian Literature stylistically is divided into (Khorasani Style, Iraqi style and Hindi style). style is the lingual, ideological and literary characteristics that is common in a certain period, and poets follow it. As Persian literature has had strong influence on Old Kurdish Literature, so in this research it has been tried to explain the lingual, ideological and literary characteristics that (Sirus Shamisa) has invented it of Iraqi style on Hariq.&#x0D; The content of the research consists of two parts, the first aspect is about (concept of style, definition of style and the reasons of coming out Iraqi style, the second aspect is about (The characteristics of Iraqi style in terms of (lingual, ideological and literary).&#x0D; The second part is about practicing Hariq‌s poems and determining the characteristics of Iraqi style with poetical examples.

How does code style inconsistency affect pull request integration? An exploratory study on 117 GitHub projects

GitHub is a popular code platform that provides infrastructures to facilitate collaborative development. A Pull Request (PR) is one of the key ideas to support collaboration. Developers are encouraged to submit PRs to ask for the integration of their contributions. In practice, not all submitted PRs can be integrated into the codebase by project maintainers. Existing studies have investigated factors affecting PR integration. Nevertheless, the code style of PRs, which is largely considered by project maintainers, has not been deeply studied yet. In this paper, we performed an exploratory analysis on the effect of code style on PR integration in GitHub. We modeled the code style via the inconsistency between a submitted PR and the existing code in its target codebase. Such modeling makes our study not limited by a specific definition of code style. We conducted our experiments on 50,092 closed PRs in 117 Java projects. Our findings show that: (1) There indeed exists code style inconsistency between PRs and the codebase. (2) Several code style criteria on how to use spaces or indents, make comments, and write code lines with a suitable length, tend to show more inconsistency among PRs. (3) A PR that is consistent with the current code style tends to be merged into the codebase more easily. (4) A PR that violates the current code style is likely to take more time to get closed. Our study shows evidence to developers about how to deliver better contributions to facilitate efficient collaboration.

Beyond Filmmaking: Searching for a Neorealist Architecture in Italy, 194X-195X

After the Second World War, cinema was fundamental in portraying the spatial form of the time, while simultaneously contributing to the creation of a visual culture at a key moment in Italy. Despite the controversy regarding the definition of post-war cinematic style, Italian film of this time is generally globally recognised as ‘neorealist’. Neorealist cinema created an environment that informed architecture, photography, painting, and other forms of art. The term neorealism has been adopted ad hoc in architecture, perhaps unconsciously, however the transfer has not been carefully studied. Placing the architecture-cinema relationship at the analytical focal point may shed light on some unaddressed questions: How did architecture get involved with cinematic discourse? What do the films and the architectural projects share? This article starts from the cultural context portrayed by films and investigates if and how — using which formal language, tools and references, and to what end — the neorealist discourse was transferred from film to architecture. Six projects are presented that help understand neorealist conditions in architecture: the Quartiere Tiburtino (Rome), La Martella village (Matera), the Towers in Viale Etiopia (Rome), the Quartiere in Cerignola (Foggia), the Quartiere San Basilio (Rome) and the Quartiere in Cesate (Milan).

Clustering preference data in the presence of response-style bias.

Preference data, such as Likert scale data, are often obtained in questionnaire-based surveys. Clustering respondents based on survey items is useful for discovering latent structures. However, cluster analysis of preference data may be affected by response styles, that is, a respondent's systematic response tendencies irrespective of the item content. For example, some respondents may tend to select ratings at the ends of the scale, which is called an 'extreme response style'. A cluster of respondents with an extreme response style can be mistakenly identified as a content-based cluster. To address this problem, we propose a novel method of clustering respondents based on their indicated preferences for a set of items while correcting for response-style bias. We first introduce a new framework to detect, and correct for, response styles by generalizing the definition of response styles used in constrained dual scaling. We then simultaneously correct for response styles and perform a cluster analysis based on the corrected preference data. A simulation study shows that the proposed method yields better clustering accuracy than the existing methods do. We apply the method to empirical data from four different countries concerning social values.

Argumentative Style: A Complex Notion

This theoretical expose explores the complex notion of argumentative style, which has so far been largely neglected in argumentation theory. After an introduction of the problems involved, the theoretical tools for identifying the properties of the discourse in which an argumentative style manifests itself are explained from a pragma-dialectical perspective and a theoretical definition of argumentative style is provided that does full justice to its role in argumentative discourse. The article concludes with a short reflection upon the next steps that need to be taken in argumentation theory in further substantiating the notion of argumentative style.

Relationship between the Scale of the City and the Scale of Architecture

The concept of scale, order and proportion, practically “forever”, accompanied human construction activity and even contributed to the definition of stages, epochs or architectural styles. Seeking the interconnected compositions between the object, its surroundings and the sensitivity of the recipient is still one of the basic issues connected with the work of architect and urbanist. Therefore, tracing the evolution of views and accomplishments with regard to paradoxically undefined today, but the commonly used concept of scale seems most appropriate.

DeepShoe: An improved Multi-Task View-invariant CNN for street-to-shop shoe retrieval

The difficulty of describing a shoe item seeing on street with text for online shopping demands an image-based retrieval solution. We call this problem street-to-shop shoe retrieval, whose goal is to find exactly the same shoe in the online shop image (shop scenario), given a daily shoe image (street scenario) as the query. We propose an improved Multi-Task View-invariant Convolutional Neural Network (MTV-CNN+) to handle the large visual discrepancy for the same shoe in different scenarios. A novel definition of shoe style is defined according to the combinations of part-aware semantic shoe attributes and the corresponding style identification loss is developed. Furthermore, a new loss function is proposed to minimize the distances between images of the same shoe captured from different viewpoints. In order to efficiently train MTV-CNN+, we develop an attribute-based weighting scheme on the conventional triplet loss function to put more emphasis on the hard triplets; a three-stage process is incorporated to progressively select the hard negative examples and anchor images. To validate the proposed method, we build a multi-view shoe dataset with semantic attributes (MVShoe) from the daily life and online shopping websites, and investigate how different triplet loss functions affect the performance. Experimental results show the advantage of MTV-CNN+ over existing approaches.
