Crime and Social Decomposition, Case: La Libertad’s City Neighborhood Virgen del Carmen, 2023

Introduction: Society faces one of the problems that affects its physical and personal integrity, such as crime, and this causes people to live in fear and therefore limit themselves to going out on the street, which causes social decomposition. The purpose of the research work is to analyze crime and its impact on social decomposition in the Virgen del Carmen neighborhood, city of La Libertad, in 2023. Objective: The general objective was to identify the level of criminal incidence through a situational and social diagnosis to determine its impact on social development. Theoretical framework: The literature is focused on the perspectives from which crime is studied, these perspectives are individualistic, sociological and psychosocial, which are described to support the theoretical relationship of this work. Method: The methodology applied was descriptive qualitative-quantitative research, non-experimental scope. The reliability test of the instrument was carried out using Cronbach's Alpha coefficient, the result was 0.908 as excellent. The alternative hypothesis is accepted, regarding the impact that crime has on social breakdown. Results and Discussion: The results showed that the population is afraid of crime, and considers the management of the competent authorities to be inefficient. Implications of the research: Timely solution actions are recommended that could be established as social intervention programs to mitigate the impact caused by crime, to strengthen the link between social policy and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG), focusing on Peace, Justice and Strong Institutions. Originality/Value: In relation to the level of impact that crime has on social breakdown, a palpable reality could be seen, in which many people choose not to go out to social or family events, so as not to be victims of crime, given that there are no organizations that help mitigate this social problem.

Integrity and Morality

Abstract This paper defends a strong link between personal integrity and morality in a way that preserves the overriding and universal authority of impartial morality. I argue that, when we are committed to a personal project or relationship, we hold ourselves accountable, from the perspective of a corresponding practical identity, for living up to the commitment. Under the right conditions, this generates an obligation to ourselves. Supposing that holding someone accountable constitutively presupposes a version of Kant’s Formula of Humanity (as Stephen Darwall argues), such obligations of integrity turn out to be moral obligations. Although the picture presented here resembles Christine Korsgaard’s account of the link between integrity of morality, it has several advantages over that account.

Harmony of individual and collective values is the basis of spiritual and intellectual upbringing of a creative personality

In today's world, social challenges, such as the rise of individualism or the desire for uniformity in a team, affect the way we form our personalities. On the one hand, the culture of self-realization and success often encourages selfishness and competition, which can lead to social isolation and problems in interpersonal relationships. On the other hand, an excessive focus on collective values and standards that negate individuality suppresses a person's unique talents and intrinsic motivation. In the context of globalization, digitalization, and rapid social change, the balance between individual development and the ability to cooperate is becoming critical to fostering a personality capable of adapting to the challenges of the 21st century while maintaining internal integrity and flexibility. The harmony of individual and collective aspects of human life implies both personal development and integration into the social environment. It is important for a person to be able to develop his or her unique abilities while maintaining a sense of belonging to a group, as this strengthens his or her internal resources and contributes to successful self-expression. Only a harmonious combination of individual and collective development will allow a person to unleash his or her creative abilities. The choice between egoism and collectivism equally inhibits human development and self-realization. The development of cooperation is the way to harmony between the individual and the collective. Cooperative and partnership relations create favorable conditions for achieving acme. They provide knowledge exchange, support and motivation, enhance creativity, develop communication skills and expand the network of contacts. Thanks to these aspects, an individual has a better chance of realizing their potential and achieving maximum results in life. In today's world, which faces numerous challenges, such as social exclusion, conflict, inequality and environmental issues, a cooperative approach is becoming critical for the harmonious development of the individual. Supporting this approach not only contributes to the formation of socially responsible citizens, but also ensures the creation of a healthy social environment in which everyone can realize their potential. The cooperative approach is based on the principles of mutual respect, cooperation and support, which allows individuals to interact with each other, taking into account both their own and collective needs. This creates conditions for the development of personal qualities such as empathy, tolerance and responsibility, which are key to effective coexistence in society.

The Capability to Self-Changing in a Varying and Brittle World

The article is devoted to the analysis of human capabilities for professional and personal self-realization in a constantly changing world. The variability and brittle modern digital world are the main challenges and the actual problem for many scientists as well as the question of people’s ability to change in accordance with the new reality. The potential for self-changing and the way of coping with new information are becoming the main factors determining a person’s psychological well-being and emotional comfort. To assess this assumption, was conducted the research of styles of information identity, the degree of satisfaction with life and the level of self-change. The materials of the study showed that uncertainty and brittle situation reduce the level of satisfaction with life, which is close to the average for most young people. The desire to ignore negative information partially increase emotional stability as the immersion in the news flow reduces life satisfaction. Our results allow us to conclude that there is a close connection between identity style and the ability to self-change. The normative style reduces not only the potential for self-change, but also the level of adaptation. Informative and diffuse styles, in varying degrees of expression, contribute to better adaptation. The diffuse style increases self-changings due to faith in one’s capabilities, and the informational style increases self-changing through awareness of the ways to self-change. Personal integrity is commitment to the chosen style of information identity and ability for self-changing.

Феномен Федора Панчука

Ukrainian fine art today is developing dynamically and confidently in all its diverse authorial expressions. The proposed investigation revealed a picture of the artist’s life and is dedicated to the study of the creative path of Fedor Panchuk, the definition of his role and place in the socio-cultural space of the modern Podolsk region. His creative, cultural, public, publishing and pedagogical activities are analyzed. The purpose of the work is to characterize the phenomenon of the art critic, artist, writer, public figure F. Panchuk. The research methodology is based on the application of culturological and axiological approaches, which involve the development of the study in the context of a general philosophical understanding of art and determine the consideration of F. Panchuk’s painting in close connection with the wealth of Ukrainian modern fine art. The scientific novelty lies in the fact that the features of the artist’s creative path are characterized: from primitivism to symbolism; from symbolism to avant-garde, which is based on both personal long-term experience and the tasks of fine art itself. Based on the biographical method, the role of F. Panchuk in the formation of the art of the Podillya region and art education in particular was clarified. In the process of research, the authors came to the conclusion that the phenomenon of F. Panchuk is an organic synthesis of professional artistic creativity, cultural and public work, writing and pedagogical activity. Talent and constant work on oneself in the comprehensiveness of the earthly attraction of his native land became factors of creative evolution and formed him as a person - a citizen - an artist. Acquaintance with the creative work of Fedor Panchuk gave grounds to assert that the source of energy of this unique person is human sincerity, unquenchable strength and love for his native Podillіa, Ukrainian folk art, and pedagogical activity.

INSTITUSIONALISASI NILAI-NILAI SUFISTIK DI PONDOK PESANTREN BANJARBARU

Research on pesantren (Islamic boarding schools) demonstrates the advantages of pesantren as a subculture that represents Sufi values. Among the Sufi values in pesantren are repentance (taubat), piety (wara'), asceticism (zuhud), poverty (faqr), patience (sabar), trust in God (tawakkal), love (mahabbah), knowledge (makrifah), and contentment (ridha). These values are socially constructed through various institutionalized practices. Therefore, the author aims to explore how these Sufi values are institutionalized in the pesantren of Banjarbaru. The author employs a social constructionist approach as the research method, with a descriptive qualitative research design. Data are collected through interviews, observations, and documentation, with data reduction, data display, and data verification techniques for data analysis. The findings of the study are as follows: 1) The institutionalization of Sufi values includes internalization, externalization, and objectivation simultaneously. In the internalization process, there is typification, habitualization, socialization, and indoctrination in the pesantren regarding Sufi values, both as values and as practices of the Sufi path (tarekat), through the pesantren curriculum based on the books Ihya’ ‘Ulum al-Din, Siraj al-Thalibin, and Kifayah al-Atqiya’, as well as through spiritual practices such as mujahadah, collective dhikr, fasting, bai'at (pledge of allegiance), and khalwat (spiritual retreat). In the externalization process, the Sufi values are expressed as ideologies and positive traditions with various adaptations. Objectivation shows the authority of the mursyid (spiritual guide), consistency in the implementation of sharia, rules, and suluk (spiritual conduct). 2) The Sufi values institutionalized in the pesantren include repentance (taubat) as abandoning sins and mistakes; piety (wara') as discipline and selectivity; asceticism (zuhud) as humility and simplicity; poverty (faqr) as independence and responsibility; patience (sabar) as perseverance and personal integrity; trust in God (tawakkal), love (mahabbah), knowledge (makrifah), and contentment (ridha) as obedience and gratitude. 3) The institutionalization of Sufi values in the pesantren contributes significantly to the strengthening of character and moral development.

Unlocking the power of meaningful work: elevating engagement and satisfaction in the realm of decent jobs

PurposeSustainable development must address the challenge of ensuring decent work for all (SDG 8) and promoting good health and well-being (SDG 3). This study aims to assess the relationship between decent and meaningful work and their impact on work engagement and job satisfaction among adult workers. Decent work goes beyond mere employment, encompassing standards for a fulfilling life, including fair compensation and workplace security, while fostering personal development and social integration. Following the psychology of working theory (PWT), decent work is a prerequisite to the attainment of meaningful work, viewed as a positive belief system about one’s work and its potential positive impact on life and the world.Design/methodology/approachA sample of 276 adult workers, aged 21–70 years (M = 43.55, SD = 11.76), was surveyed to explore the association between decent and meaningful work and the following impact on work engagement and job satisfaction. Structural equation modelling was employed.FindingsThe study identified meaningful work as a crucial mediator between decent work and the outcomes of work engagement and job satisfaction.Practical implicationsThe findings highlight the importance of cultivating meaningful work experiences to enhance workplace well-being.Organisations should prioritize interventions to promote both decent and meaningful work to align with sustainable development goals and improve employee satisfaction and engagement.Originality/valueOur findings emphasize the pivotal role of decent work and, consequently, meaningful work in shaping employees’ well-being.

CHARACTERISTICS OF MOTIVATION AND ITS RELATIONSHIP TO RESILIENCE IN KAZAKHSTANI PARALYMPIC ATHLETES

Paralympic sport enables people with disabilities to significantly develop their functional abilities, improving their opportunities for full personal development and social integration. One of the main challenges for athletes is maintaining their internal motivation for sport and withstanding the stress and difficulties throughout the preparation and competition period. The relationship between resilience and motivation in the context of Paralympic sports is paramount for this group of athletes. The aim of this study was to examine the characteristics of motivation and its relationship with resilience in Paralympic athletes. The study was conducted on the grounds of the Federation of Paralympic Sports of Kokchetav, Shymkent, Taraz. Sixty Paralympic athletes participated in the study. The methodology of the study included: 1) Methodology to study the motives for sports activity of V.I. 2) Motives for Sports Activity (MSA) questionnaire by E. I. Tropnikov. А. E. Kalinin’s Motives for Motivation Test; S. Maddy, adaptation of D. А. Leontiev and E. I. Raskazova. The results revealed the motivation and resilience of Paralympic athletes, depending on gender and level of sports qualification. It was found that control and the integral indicator of resilience act as key constructs within the motivational system of Paralympic athletes

Phylodynamics for HIV Prevention: A Miami-Dade Case Study.

To date, HIV molecular epidemiology (HIV ME) has been primarily used to identify clusters of related infections (cluster detection and response [CDR]) and then address interventions to these clusters. Community groups have raised concern regarding CDR regarding privacy and ethical concerns. Here we demonstrate how an alternative approach to HIV ME can provide public health benefit. A limited dataset for Miami-Dade County provided by the Florida Department of Public Health was curated and annotated by neighborhood health district (NBHD) and genetic linkage (using a genetic distance threshold of ≤ 0.5%) and phylodynamic analyses were performed. Phylodynamic analyses were used to infer viral transmissions into Miami-Dade County, and between NBHDs within the county. 7274 HIV sequences from unique persons collected between 1/1/2015 and 12/31/2021 were analyzed, including 50% of the 7894 new diagnoses during this period. The proportion of sequences in local clusters increased over time. Higher ratios of local introductions, compared to viral egress (i.e., source of local clusters in other NBHDs) were observed in three NBHDs in North Miami [range 1.9-2.5], suggesting earlier diagnosis, but high numbers of susceptible persons not on pre-exposure prophylaxis. South Dade/Homestead had a low ratio (0.3) of local introductions compared to egress, suggesting later diagnosis and less durable suppression. Phylodynamic and genetic linkage analyses can highlight populations and geographic regions that might benefit more from particular types of HIV prevention interventions. These findings will need to be explored by evaluating the impact of scaling up interventions informed by these analyses.

Family Factors Contributing to the Integration of Students Studying at Universities in New Constituent Entities of the Russian Federation into the New Sociocultural Space

Introduction. In the article, the authors consider important aspects of the integration of personality into a new socio-cultural space on the example of students of new territories. Forced migration, including educational migration, can have a significant negative impact on the physical, mental, and emotional state of a person, therefore, factors contributing to and hindering adaptation to a new place require in-depth scientific analysis. Among the numerous factors, family resources are of particular importance, the study of the connections of family resources with the processes of adaptation and integration into a new socio-cultural space was the purpose of the study. Methodology. The study sample consisted of students of the Kherson State Pedagogical University. Empirical data were collected using the methodology “Adaptation of personality to a new socio-cultural environment” (L. V. Yankovsky) and the family resources test II (A. V. Makhnach, Yu. V. Postylyakova). Results. The results obtained in the study showed that the prevailing level of adaptation of students is average, which on the one hand is an indicator of a fairly successful integration into the system of new social ties and relationships, and on the other hand, an indicator that integration into a new socio-cultural space has not yet been completed. An important role in ensuring the process of integration into a new socio-cultural space in conditions of forced migration belongs to the family: relying on all available family resources, successful integration of students is primarily facilitated by family factors such as financial freedom and management of family resources, and the insufficient level of health culture in the family makes it difficult. Conclusions. The data obtained in the study on family factors that promote / hinder the integration of students from new regions into the socio-cultural space of Russia can be used in the development and implementation by universities of effective programs for psychological and pedagogical support of students.

Individual Wrong or Systemic Failure? Moral Judgements About the Integrity of Politicians in the Wake of Dutch Integrity Scandals

This article focuses on moral judgements about the integrity of politicians expressed by various actors in public opinion in the wake of Dutch integrity scandals. The research assesses the link between a supposed act on the one hand and moral judgements of the actors involved on the other in an effort to improve our understanding of how political integrity is perceived and how it is used in public and political debate. This exploratory study takes three Dutch case studies of supposed conflicts of interest. Each case offers a view on judgements concerning political integrity from various media outlets, focused on three different levels: judgements of personal integrity, role integrity and political system integrity. This novel theoretical construct serves to see whether and, if so, how moral judgements about political integrity are linked to systemic (dis)satisfaction with government and politics. In addition—and focusing on the Dutch context only—the article assesses how people’s supposed place on a political ideological spectrum from left to right might influence their moral judgement. The article underscores the theoretical notion that the meaning of political integrity is inherently subject to varied interpretation and context of place and time. This also has important practical implications for managing and improving political integrity.

IBN KHALDUN'S EDUCATIONAL THOUGHTS AND THEIR RELEVANCE TO ISLAMIC BASIC EDUCATION

This research focuses on Ibn Khaldun's thoughts about education and its relevance to the basic education system. In the development of education in Indonesia, secular thinking dominates, which results in the breakdown of the unity of personality. Ibnu Khaldun, apart from being a scientist and historian, was also a phenomenal figure in Islamic education. This research describes the concept of education according to Ibn Khaldun, including educational objectives, students, educators, learning methods, curriculum, and educational environment. The research method used is literature study with reference to Ibn Khaldun's phenomenal work, namely the book "Al-Muqaddimah," as well as other books that examine his thoughts. The main conclusion from this research is that there is relevance between Ibn Khaldun's concept of education and the national education system, especially basic education, so that this idea can be a reference for the development of basic education in Indonesia.

Universal Health Checkups and Risk of Incident Diabetes and Hypertension

Type 2 diabetes and hypertension are obesity-related, noncommunicable diseases becoming increasingly common worldwide. In 2008, Japan launched a nationwide universal health checkup program, Specific Health Checkup (SHC), for the primary prevention of obesity-related diseases, but its effectiveness has been understudied. To investigate the association of the SHC program with incident diabetes and hypertension, using a target trial emulation framework. This retrospective cohort study used data from a longitudinal health care database involving both checkup history and medical encounter records in Japan. Individuals aged 40 to 74 years, without diabetes or hypertension, and without a prior checkup history, were eligible. Individuals were repeatedly assessed for eligibility from April 1, 2008, to March 31, 2020, to assemble sequential cohorts of 78 620 SHC participants and 214 554 nonparticipants. Statistical analysis was conducted from June 8 to December 30, 2023. The composite risk of incident type 2 diabetes or hypertension over a period of up to 10 years, defined as the combination of a newly documented diagnosis and use of relevant medications. A propensity score-weighted survival analysis was conducted to adjust for baseline variables. A series of sensitivity analyses and a negative outcome control analysis were conducted using depression as a benchmark. Sequential cohorts consisted of 78 620 SHC participants (median age, 46 years [IQR, 41-53 years]; 62.7% women) and 214 554 nonparticipants (median age, 49 years [IQR, 44-55 years]; 82.0% women) from 153 084 unique persons, each of whom entered the study cohort a mean (SD) of 1.9 (1.5) times. Within a median follow-up of 4.2 years (IQR, 2.7-6.3 years), the primary end point occurred among 11.2% of all individuals (10.6% of the SHC participants and 11.4% of the nonparticipants), with a lower hazard ratio (HR) among the SHC recipients (HR, 0.90; 95% CI, 0.89-0.92); the difference in cumulative incidence at 10 years was -1.6% (95% CI, -1.8% to -1.3%). The sensitivity analyses showed similar results. The negative control analysis suggested the potential for residual confounding (HR, 1.05; 95% CI, 1.02-1.07); the bias-calibrated HR was 0.86 (95% CI, 0.84-0.89) for the primary outcome. In this cohort study, within a median of 4.2 years of follow-up, SHC recipients had a 9.8% lower risk of incident diabetes and hypertension (13.8% in the bias-calibrated analysis). The cost-effectiveness of the SHC and its transportability to other regions are unclear, requiring future investigations.

EuroCity Persons 2.0: A Large and Diverse Dataset of Persons in Traffic.

We present the EuroCity Persons (ECP) 2.0 dataset, a novel image dataset for person detection, tracking and prediction in traffic. The dataset was collected on-board a vehicle driving through 29 cities in 11 European countries. It contains more than 250K unique person trajectories, in more than 2.0M images and comes with a size of 11 TB. ECP2.0 is about one order of magnitude larger than previous state-of-the-art person datasets in automotive context. It offers remarkable diversity in terms of geographical coverage, time of day, weather and seasons. We discuss the novel semi-supervised approach that was used to generate the temporally dense pseudo ground-truth (i.e., 2D bounding boxes, 3D person locations) from sparse, manual annotations at keyframes. Our approach leverages auxiliary LiDAR data for 3D uplifting and vehicle inertial sensing for ego-motion compensation. It incorporates keyframe information in a three-stage approach (tracklet generation, tracklet merging into tracks, track smoothing) for obtaining accurate person trajectories. We validate our pseudo ground-truth generation approach in ablation studies, and show that it significantly outperforms existing methods. Furthermore, we demonstrate its benefits for training and testing of state-of-the-art tracking methods. Our approach provides a speed-up factor of about 34 compared to frame-wise manual annotation. The ECP2.0 dataset is made freely available for non-commercial research use.

Mahatma Gandhi's Leadership Blueprint: Fusing Servant Leadership with Authentic Integrity

This paper explores the leadership blueprint of Mahatma Gandhi, focusing on the integration of servant leadership principles with authentic integrity. Leadership has evolved through numerous models, but the frameworks of servant and authentic leadership are distinguished by their emphasis on ethical conduct, personal integrity, and a commitment to the well-being of followers. Gandhi's journey from humble origins to a central figure in the Indian independence movement exemplifies a visionary leadership style that not only catalyzed India’s quest for freedom but also contributed to global leadership paradigms. This study seeks to address key research questions regarding the defining characteristics of Gandhi's leadership, the extent to which he embodied principles of servant and authentic leadership, and the lessons contemporary leaders can derive from his integrated approach. Employing a qualitative methodology, the research involves a thorough review of primary and secondary sources, including Gandhi's writings, biographies, and historical records, alongside case studies that illustrate the application of his leadership philosophy in various contexts. The hypothesis posits that Gandhi's distinctive leadership model, characterized by selfless service, moral integrity, and an unwavering commitment to social justice, offers enduring insights for today’s leaders. Through thematic analysis, the study reveals key themes such as humility, self-sacrifice, and relational transparency that illustrate the convergence of servant and authentic leadership in Gandhi’s life, reinforcing the relevance of his philosophy in contemporary leadership discourse.

Transition from primary to lower secondary school in Austria. Findings from a longitudinal study during COVID-19

AbstractTransition from the familiar environment of primary school to the larger, more complex setting of secondary school is, for most students, marked by social and academic challenges as well as a need to fit in. The aim of this contribution is to investigate the possible impact of achievement-related personal resources and social support in coping with the developmental task of transitioning from primary to lower secondary school during COVID-19. We make the assumption that a sudden shift to distance learning due to the pandemic intensified the challenges of transitioning to secondary school and led to educational disadvantage, in particular for students who were struggling with the demands of self-regulated distance learning.Data were generated from a longitudinal study carried out in a rural-alpine region of Austria in 2021 and 2022. During the time where COVID-19 was affecting education, 188 pupils were surveyed in the year prior to and after their transition from primary to lower secondary school. In order to analyse the impact of achievement-related personal resources and social support, a multivariate hierarchical regression analysis was conducted.Results showed that managing the transition to lower secondary school relied heavily upon pupils’ ability to cope with self-regulatory demands of distance learning, their achievement-related personal resources and social integration in class in primary school. However, from the findings, we can conclude that social support in secondary school also plays an important role. The ability to cope with social and academic demands in secondary school is at a higher level when pupils receive school-related support from their parents, recognise their school climate as supportive and perceive their teachers’ expertise in judging academic achievements as high.

FORMATION OF COMMUNICATIVE COMPETENCE IN FUTURE SOCIAL WORKERS USING THE MEANS OF YOUTH WORK

The article, based on the analysis of theory and practice, characterizes the features of the formation of communicative competence in future social workers by means of youth work.It has been established that youth work is a relevant direction of youth policy development today – a promising field of professional activity with young people, which requires the development of training and the field of employment of youth workers, the level of popularization of youth work in all regions and cities of Ukraine. According to the terminology of the Council of Europe in the fields of youth policy, human rights and non-formal education, the concept of «youth work» is defined as a tool for personal development, social integration and active citizenship of young people.A key aspect of the development of youth policy and youth work is the staffing of youth infrastructure for state authorities and local governments. This involves the creation of a system of training, retraining and advanced training of specialists in the field of youth policy. Regular training of employees whose activities are directly related to the implementation of youth policy is also important.The author analyzed scientific, educational and methodological sources in order to identify the main approaches to defining the concept of «communicative competence».It was found that an effective means of forming the communicative competence of future specialists is youth work as a field of professional activity that is focused on young people and contributes to improving the conditions of personal and social growth of young people in accordance with their needs and capabilities, supporting their spiritual and physical development.The theoretical-practical and organizational-methodical aspects of the formation of the communicative competence of the individual by means of youth work are highlighted as prospects for further research.

Including highly educated migrants in academia to improve their health-protocol for a pilot intervention.

Norway's healthcare system needs a diversified work force to meet societal demands for improved cultural competence. However, many migrants in Norway who were educated as health professions in their home countries are not practicing these professions. This may negatively affect their physical and mental health and hinder their personal social integration. Though good health is often seen as a precondition for work, relevant working activities can also improve health. However, including health professionals with foreign education in academic institutions prior to receiving necessary accreditation is a complex task. This study will pilot an intervention aiming to improve health through meaningful integration of these professionals in academic environments. This paper is a protocol for a non-randomized pilot intervention study targeting migrants who are waiting for their health education accreditation in Norway. To test the benefits of meaningful activity on health and explore possibilities for implementing such activity, we have designed a six-month long intervention consisting of including nurses, doctors, and other highly educated migrants with healthcare backgrounds between 20 and 67 years of age, into health-related working tasks, at two higher education institutions in Bergen, Norway. The intervention will be tailored according to the participant's expertise. This hybrid type 2 pilot protocol paper will present how feasibility, fidelity, dose received (satisfaction), and dose of exposure (participation), will be assessed and whether the intervention is experienced as beneficial for the participants' health as primary outcome utilizing both quantitative and qualitative methods. We present a complex, personalized intervention that has the potential for large scale implementation in the future. By thoroughly presenting our designed intervention and assessment methods, this protocol will add to the study's transparency and facilitate replicability and comparison with future studies. This study will be of benefit to the migrants themselves, policy makers, government agencies and academia at large as it can point to a unique and sustainable way of speeding up the integration of highly educated migrants in their respective fields in a new host country.

Fame, Embodiment and Sexuality in Nineteenth-Century Women’s Poetry

ABSTRACT This article examines the ways in which three women poets of the long nineteenth-century – Elizabeth Barrett Browning (1806–1861), Emily Brontë (1818–1848) and Charlotte Mew (1869–1928) – represent fame in their work in terms of a tense sexualised dynamic of attraction and repulsion, variously modelled as femme-fatale-like seduction, repressed lust and the activity in, and consequences of, what Mew terms the “tossed bed” (“Fame”, l. 19). The focusing of fame through the ideas of sexuality and embodiment enables these writers to reflect, explicitly or implicitly, upon the gendered nature of literary creation, public voice and visibility, and thereby to negotiate, at least in part, the complex legacies of the “poetess”. In deploying innovative experiments with structure, form and language, Barrett Browning, Brontë and Mew repeatedly reveal fame’s double-edged nature, as something which may be alluring and enthralling in terms of desire, yet simultaneously silencing and threatening to the intellectual and creative life of the poet. The poems examined here consequently demonstrate that succumbing to fame is something which must be resisted at all costs in order to maintain personal and poetic integrity.
