Homophobias: Lust and Loathing across Time and Space

Il "Saul" di Vittorio Alfieri

My paper analyzes Vittorio Alifieri’s tragedy Saul. The author writes the tragedy after reading the Bible, and particularly Samuel’s first book. Alfieri is enthusiastic about the biblical text, thanks to its “sublime” theme and style, very useful for adapting the story as a tragedy. Alfieri creates Saul without betraying the spirit of the source text – he underlines the king of Israel’s ambivalent behavior toward his son-in-law David, whom he loves and hates at the same time. From this perspective, Saul is quite a different character from the other “tyrants” from Alfieri’s other tragedies. In his own words, the author finds in Saul «that uncertainty of the human heart, so magical; so, a man loving two loves opposite to one another, wants and does not want the very same thing. This uncertainty is one of the major secrets for generating emotion and suspension in a theatre». And Alfieri makes it. He himself plays Saul on stage, many times, since he considers him his “dearest” character – according to the author, in this character there is «everything, absolutely everything». Moreover, Saul has been staged with the most famous actors all along the Nineteenth and Twentieth century.

Mapping Functional Circuits in Depression

Sigmund Freud, in Mourning and Melancholia (1917), described the difference between these states as the presence of self-loathing in depression and its absence in grief. This new study using a novel neuroimaging paradigm that examines activation of six brain circuits, originally identified in healthy individuals, has now identified neurophysiological correlates of hate in depression. In previous …

A Study on an Adolescent Experience of Children from International Marriage in Rural Area

Study on children from international marriage so far has been conducted focusing on the school-aged children, and it uniformly presents those children as a mere being with problem, overlooking regional variables of rural area. Hence, this study aims to seek various means of adaptation of children from international marriage by considering both variables rural area and adolescence. For this study, six children from international marriage living in the rural area of H county in Jeonlanamdo were chosen, in-dept interview were conducted, and Giorgi(1985) was used to analyze qualitative data. The results shows that these adolescences appear to have extensive experiences in the areas of learning, personal relationship, home and identity. Level of academic achievement was influenced by what school they attend to, and personal relationship aspect was affected by prejudice and discriminative perception from people around them. In addition, in home environment, hatred toward father, sympathy for mother, comparison with mothers who have great cultural adaptation skills, and pressure as the firstborn appear to be on the increase. Adolescent children tend to be addicted to internet games in order to escape from anxiety, experiencing identity crisis. They tend to be negative about international marriage of their parents, and exhibit behaviors refusing values and religious view of their parents. At the conclusion, limitation of the study and suggestion for further study are presented.

Starting to Hate the State: The Beginning of the Character's Dissidence in Dystopian Literature and Films

Once the dystopian genre gained its actual shape in literature, during the first decades of the twentieth century several concepts appeared constantly in most of this kind of novels. A common topic has been the dissidence of the main character, who at the initial stage of the plot is a strong supporter of the ideals of the state he/she lives in. Hence, such kind of power, at first caring and protective, turns into a pursuing machine with the aim of eradicating any alternative thinking. Furthermore, since the fifties, films based on this literary genre have also adapted the evolution from love to hate towards the totalitarian state, that must bring the new dissident back under the protection of power. My purpose in this essay is to show some instances of this change in dystopian literature and cinema along different periods of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, in order to prove that the idea is still worth studying, as writers and directors have kept it as an important axis of the plot.

Introduction: Racial and Ethnic Conflict and Violence

Racial and ethnic violence takes many forms. Genocides, ethnic cleansing, pogroms, civil wars, and violent separatist movements are the most obvious and extreme expressions, but less organized violence such as rioting, and hate crimes by individuals or small groups are products of racial and ethnic conflict as well. Also, the distribution of criminal violence within societies, which may or may not be aimed at members of another group, is in some places a by-product of ongoing conflicts between superior and subordinated racial or ethnic groups. Although estimates of the number of deaths attributable to ethnic violence vary widely, range of eleven to twenty million given for the period between 1945 and the early 1990s show the gravity of this type of conflict (Williams 1994, 50). So it comes as no surprise that scholars have paid increasing attention to such conflicts over the last decades.

Association analysis between BDNF gene polymorphism and the anxiety symptoms of depressive disorder in Chinese Han population

Oblectlve To explore the association of brain-derived neurotrophic factor(BDNF)gene polymorphism and the anxiety symptoms of depressive disorder in Chinese Han population.Methods A total of 458 depressive patients diagnosed by DSM-Ⅳ were admitted in the study.The severity of depression and anxiety were respectively assessed with 17-item Hamilton Depression Hating Scale(17-HAMD)and Hamilton Anxiety Scale (HAMA).Polymerase chain reaction(PCR)and DNA direct sequencing technique were used to detect the genetic polymorphism of the BDNF gene.The analyses of the quantitative trait were performed by UNPHASED(version 3.0).Results There were no significant differences between HAMA score and polymorphism of the BDNF gene rs6265(alleles:X2=1.947,P=0.163;genotypes:X2=2.184,P=0.336).An association between the polymorphism and the quantitative character of anxiety symptoms were observed in the allele(mental anxious factor:X2=4.908,P=0.027;anxious mood:X2=4.312,P=0.038),but not in the genotype.Other item score of HAMA was showed no association with polymorphism of the BDNF gene rs6265(P＞0.05).Conclusion The polymorphism in allele of BDNF gene may be associated with the anxiety symptoms of depressive patients.Polymorphism of the BDNF gene might constitute the appearance of the clinical manifestation-anxiety in depressive disorder.The result also suggests that the analysis of symptom phenotype may be more suitable for genetic study of depressive disorder. Key words: Depressive disorder; Anxiety; BDNF gene; Polymorphism
