The Performance of Time (or the time of musical performance)

In the twentieth century, time became a key-concept for music – maybe the art more dependent on time. Even so, a myriad of definitions did turn this idea not only into a rich element for musical discourse but also into a conceptual battlefield in discourses about music. Unfortunately, there was an issue for this struggle between theoretical ideas and musical composition that always insisted in striking the debate: the performance. Thus, this is the aim of this short reflection: to bring performers as protagonists in the debate, listening to their experience in time and of time in performance. For this, the Augustinian link between Time and Memory is taken as a bottom line for the discussion. In understanding music as a kind of discourse, another important conceptual device will be claimed for this reflection, that is Rhetoric. The first part of this reflection recollects concepts from the Aristotelian and Augustinian approaches on time and discourse, and concludes with a review of the main definitions of time by composers in the twentieth century. The second part reviews three theoretical approaches of musical form as process. A third section comprises the embodiment of those discussions into practice in the Cello Sonata, written by Bernd Alois Zimmermann.

La imaginación orgánica y sobrenatural en la crítica literaria colombiana del siglo XIX

Las tensiones ideológicas que marcan el siglo xix se evidencian en toda clase de discursos, entre ellos el de la crítica literaria. A pesar de las diferencias manifiestas entre los ejercicios críticos de algunos autores de la época, puede hablarse de ejes que unifican sus trabajos: el pensamiento positivista y el pensamiento religioso, notoriamente católico, que encuentran lugar en la imaginación orgánica y en la imaginación sobrenatural, respectivamente. A lo largo de este texto se analizarán las imágenes que configuran las líneas de pensamiento mencionadas de acuerdo con algunas de las problemáticas literarias que abordan.

Tracking the public's opinion of online education: a quantitative analysis of tweets on e-learning

The aim of this paper is to analyse what kind of information related to e-learning is circulating in social media and in particular in Twitter from the perspective of someone who searches on Twitter. This paper is an attempt to discover in what extend is Twitter being used as a tool for e-learning and consequently collaboration. This paper analyses approximately 156,000 tweets regarding online education in order to evaluate the type of information circulating in this kind of discourse. In this way, it could be used from educators who are thinking of including Twitter as a tool for an online course. The tweets were gathered in spring 2018 using R programming language. For analysing and visualising the patterns encoded in tweets, we rely on the effectiveness of topic modelling using LDA. The dataset is composed by tweets extracted from Twitter API on e-learning related queries. The results indicate the prevalence of one-way promotional material over bidirectional discussions among users. This implies a necessity for quality control of educational information on social media and a need to motivate the educational community to participate to a larger extent in related discussions.

Comprendiendo las limitaciones de la investigación

This work is an argumentative essay, or, in the terms of Montero and Leon (2005), it is a theoretical study. Its objective is to critically propose an evaluation of the state in which psychological research is in Peru, and from this analysis, raise the potential reasons for the problematic situation and reflect on these aspects, in order to finally propose ideas for solving the problems detected. For its purpose and the kind of discourse that is managed in it, this could be useful for students or work teams that wish to conduct deeper, empirical (quantitative or qualitative) or non-empirical research, about the topic of psychological research in Peru.

Stand-up Comedy Humor Discourse in Local Perspective in Indonesia

Examining stand-up comedy humor discourse in local perspective in Indonesia is fascinating due to its uniqueness and complexity. This kind of discourse has some specific characteristics in terms of its creation and language use. A qualitative study was conducted with the data source from stand-up comedy records staged in 2016 by the stand-up comedy local community in Kendari, Southeast Sulawesi. The data were reduced to obtain the funniest humor discourse. Furthermore, the data were analyzed based on the creation technique and the construction elements of humor discourse in terms of linguistic and non-linguistic context. The research findings showed that the creation technique and the construction elements of stand-up comedy humor discourse in local perspective in Indonesia were in line with the general concepts and theories of humor discourse creation techniques namely: (a) rhetoric, (b) tone variation, (c) irony, (d) language misunderstanding, (e) wordplay, (f) verbal jokes, (g) sarcasm, (h) satire, (i) sexual satire, and (j) deception. In addition, the results confirmed that the most widely used of creation techniques were rhetoric, wordplay, and deception. The three techniques are more pronounced than other techniques due to the local comics circumscribed public speaking capability.

Privacy and data protection in learning analytics should be motivated by an educational maxim\u2014towards a proposal

Privacy and data protection are a major stumbling blocks for a data-driven educational future. Privacy policies are based on legal regulations, which in turn get their justification from political, cultural, economical and other kinds of discourses. Applied to learning analytics, do these policies also need a pedagogical grounding? This paper is based on an actual conundrum in developing a technical specification on privacy and data protection for learning analytics for an international standardisation organisation. Legal arguments vary a lot around the world, and seeking ontological arguments for privacy does not necessarily lead to a universal acclaim of safeguarding the learner meeting the new data-driven practices in education. Maybe it would be easier to build consensus around educational values, but is it possible to do so?This paper explores the legal and cultural contexts that make it a challenge to define universal principles for privacy and data protection. If not universal principles, consent could be the point of departure for assuring privacy? In education, this is not necessarily the case as consent will be balanced by organisations’ legitimate interests and contract. The different justifications for privacy, the legal obligation to separate analysis from intervention, and the way learning and teaching works makes it necessary to argue data privacy from a pedagogical perspective. The paper concludes with three principles that are proposed to inform an educational maxim for privacy and data protection in learning analytics.

Can Ethics Be Without Ontology? Wittgenstein and Putnam

Putnam has given a different twist to the ethical issues in his philosophical writing on ethics. In his book on ‘Ethics Without Ontology,’ he has given the different interpretation to the ethical issues. Putnam states that there is no ‘ontology’ in ethics. For him, there is nothing wrong with ethics, rather there is something wrong with metaphysics. The ethics cannot be justified from a non-ethical standpoint of view. In this way, Putnam challenges both inflationary ontological ethics and deflationary ontological ethics and he bids goodbye to all varieties of ontologies. This idea of ethics goes against the possibility of Vedanta, Buddhism, Aristotelian metaphysics, Platonic forms, Islam, Kantian category, Levinas’s ‘being’, and Heidegger’s ontology. He replaced ‘ethical ontology’ with that of pragmatic pluralism: the recognition that we employ in our everyday lives different kinds of discourses, discourses subject to different standards and possessing different sorts of applications that all contribute to the description of reality. Putnam is right in many of his criticisms of metaphysical ethics, but it is not clear how he can avoid the idea of absolute values, which are transcendental as proposed by Wittgenstein. Wittgenstein accepts both aspects of ethical life, i.e., transcendental and empirical. I shall try to show that we have every reason to accept Wittgenstein’s view that there is ontology in ethics.

“Ninguém fala do lado assustador de ser mãe”: testemunho no Facebook enquanto ruptura de performances idealizadas da maternidade

Discussion concerning motherhood have gained visibility on Facebook. This paper brings an exploratory analysis of a post by Julia Rocha, a mother, doctor and singer. The main objectives are to: 1) investigate what kinds of discourses have emerged within this “phenomenon”, and how they try to problematize values which are connected to motherhood; and 2) understand the “place” from which these narratives are produced. For this purpose, the paper relies on the theoretical prepositions of Moore, Babour and Lee, Rago, Miller, among other authors. By revealing details and feelings of the maternal routine that, according to the author herself, are hidden by other mothers, the post builds itself up as “authentic”, as well as a report with which other mothers can relate to. Therefore, it constitutes a testimony that raises ruptures of idealized performances of motherhood, linked to aspects such as the care for the children, the mother herself and her marriage.Keywords: Motherhood. Performance rupture. Facebook.

The violence of the masculine ideal: A case for nomadic masculinities

In this article, I argue that a different kind of discourse on Christian masculinities in post-apartheid South Africa is possible despite the prevalence of largely idealised and politically conservative ideologies of masculinities promoted primarily through the public and private performance of violent masculinities. Drawing on a redacted critique of current prevalent discourses of transformation in critical masculinities studies such as alternatives masculinities, hegemonic masculinities, liberated masculinities and toxic masculinities, I underscore how these discourses are limited in their thinking on masculinities in general as they presume the ideal of what a liberated man should be like. Specifically, I argue that idealised masculine ideals, even in their liberatory forms, eschew mobility and fluidity and, therefore, end up restricting the possibility for transformative action. I propose, instead, that we reinscribe discourses of Christian masculinities with the notion of nomadic subjectivity, espoused by Rosi Braidotti, as a form of transpositional praxis of being in order to expand our linguistic repertoire of transformative masculinities. Such a shift in focus, as I demonstrate, has the propensity to aid us in constructing and implementing creative and imaginative programmes of engaging men in rethinking scripts of masculinities.

A So-called ‘Jol-hon’ and the Marriage in Korea

There is a new term that has recently become popular in Korea, called Jol-hon . It was introduced as a meaning of ‘graduation from marriage’, having a different concept from divorce. Originally, this word was newly-coined in Japan, and was introduced to Korea since the middle of 2016. And then, It has become widely known with its use in entertainment TV shows, soap operas, documentaries, TV talk-shows and even newspaper articles. In Korea today, this new word is received as husband and wife’s effort to create a new relationship that is different from their previous life style. It s different from a divorce and a seperation because spouses are willing to stay married. A Jol-hon is due to the intention of the spouses. On the other hand, a marriage has both contractual and institutional aspects. So, it is necessary to discuss whether a marriage can be changed or excluded by the intentions of husband and wife. Because some regulations concerning the effects of marriage, in particular, are said as compulsory provisions, the contents of spouses’ mutual consent can be a problem. From my point of view, the core content of the marriage system could be protected through moral and ethical standards. There have been various views on the contents of its intentions, in a creation of the marriage relationship. In my personal opinion, we should consider a intent heading for a essential effect on the Korean Civil Code as a intention to marriage. Article 826 of Korean Civil Code is related to the essential effect of marriage, stipulating the obligation of cohabitation, mutual support and cooperation between spouses. Therefore, it is necessary to discuss the possibility of other forms of marriage from the contents of article 826. And, these kinds of discussions will increase as our society changes and citizens values become diverse from now on.

“Safariland”: Tourism, Development and the Marketing of Kenya in the Post-Colonial World

Abstract:This article explores the role of tourism in the development plans of Kenya during the 1960s and 1970s, examining what this reveals about the new opportunities and constrictions that officials encountered as they tried to globally reconfigure the place of their new decolonizing nation in the post-colonial world. These themes are explored by examining the political economy of development and tourism, the marketing infrastructures that Kenyan officials created to shape how Western consumers thought about “Kenya,” and how these factors influenced the kinds of discourses that were promoted globally about this newly-independent African country.

Prostitución y trata de blancas: El discurso internacional del victimismo (Chile, 1934)

This article seeks to describe and analyze how the association between the trafficking of white women and prostitution was established and reproduced in Chile, in a way similar to how the discourse was expanding internationally, with a marked direction from Europe to America, where well-defined profiles of the subjects involved in that crime were constructed: the foreign pimp or pander and the prostitute who is a victim of tricks and sexual exploitation far from her native country. The case of Chile is particularly attractive, as this country, unlike what happened on the Latin American Atlantic coast, had not received a large contingent of European immigrants to justify that this kind of discourse was so successful among local authorities and the population in general. Through the study of an indictment for white slave trafficking filed in 1934 against an Italian subject residing in Santiago de Chile, we will reconstruct at the national and international level the scenarios and contexts that allowed this type of ideas to permeate the interpretation of the local reality, which, as we will see, was far from what the victimizing paradigm of white slave trafficking tried to define as a cross-border crime. Keywords: white slave trafficking, migration, prostitution, pimping, victimhood.

The Immigrant as "the Other". Towards Differential Cultural Models

The study looks at how the fear of the Other, rampant in contemporary societies, is countered linguistically in selected English-language discourses, including both sides of the Atlantic, Australia, and New Zealand. The overarching conceptual category of THE OTHER is internally heterogeneous and involves linguistic portrayals through such terms as other, different, foreigner, stranger, or alien. The kinds of discourses that will be analysed, i.e. those aimed to reduce the level of the fear of or the hostility towards Others, contextualize these terms in ways markedly different from those in the fear-augmenting discourses. Typical devices used for the purpose are collocations and lexical patterns within the text.The data come from British, American, Canadian, Australian, and New Zealand press and public discourse, with some insight also obtained from Ryszard Kapuścinski’s book The Other. However, because the book is a series of lectures translated from Polish into English, a brief excursus into the analogous portrayal in the Polish original is also performed. On the theoretical side, the analysis will hopefully provide a hint as to whether and in what ways the heterogeneity of THE OTHER as a concept can be captured in terms of differential cultural models.

Linguistic Deviations in Virtual Discourse: A Computer-Mediated Approach

Virtual discourse is related to the new trends of using technology in communication. As such, different types of virtual discourse have been adopted such as electronic messaging, computer-mediated texts, e-mail messages and the like. These kinds of discourse are surely characterized by specific linguistic features that are different from the normal ways of speaking and writing. It is supposed that there are deviant manifestations in such discourse. This study is an attempt to investigate linguistic deviations in virtual discourse. Thus, it aims to answer the following questions:What kinds of linguistic deviation are there in virtual discourse?What is the value of such deviations?The current paper is structured as follows: section 1 is an introduction; sections 2&3 present a theoretical background on both virtual discourse and linguistic deviation; section 4 is devoted to data analysis, results and discussion; finally, section 5 summarizes the most important conclusions.
