Projeto integrador no IFRN: uma análise da política de currículo à luz do projeto político-pedagógico

O presente trabalho tem como objetivo compreender os textos políticos do Instituto Federal de Educação, Ciência e Tecnologia do Rio Grande do Norte (IFRN), presentes em seu Projeto Político-Pedagógico (PPP), a partir do referencial teórico-analítico formulado por Stephen Ball e colaboradores, e dos princípios de interdisciplinaridade tratados nos textos que discursam sobre a política de integração curricular por meio do Projeto Integrador. Trata-se de uma pesquisa qualitativa de cunho bibliográfico e consolidada por meio de análise documental. A análise do PPP do IFRN evidenciou o cuidado e a preocupação dessa instituição em realizar um processo formativo que respeita a unidade do conhecimento, a organização dos saberes e sua materialização nas práticas integradoras. Entretanto, a análise de conteúdo dos dados presentes no Projeto Político-Pedagógico do IFRN apresenta textos com sentidos híbridos, pois afirma que os Projetos Integradores podem ser desenvolvidos de forma disciplinar ou interdisciplinar. Assim, o discurso divergente adotado no PPP, mostra que ele, como qualquer outro documento, é alvo de interesses, disputas e negociações das comunidades disciplinares. Os sentidos híbridos encontrados expressam essa possível negociação, distanciando-se do que se entende como caráter integrador da proposta.

ТЕОРЕТИЧНА СПАДЩИНА ШАРЛЯ БОДЛЕРА У ПЕРСПЕКТИВІ ЧАСУ

The theoretical legacy of Charles Pierre Baudelaire (1811-1867), a prominent French poet, has aroused interest for more than a hundred years. It is emphasized that Baudelaire began his literary career as an art critic, whose interest was focused mainly on the fine arts. Focusing on the current process, he was perhaps its first connoisseur and interpreter. It is shown that the articles that the critic published in the magazine SALON for several years raised a number of art problems, some of which were of a general theoretical nature. The publications of such a plan should include research, which considers the genre specifics of fine arts, artistic eclecticism, of arts. The article highlights the problem of of arts as one that was of fundamental importance for the further development of French humanities, as G. Flaubert and other members of the creative community, sharing the relevant theses of aesthetics of I. Kant, ironically treated the possibility of of aesthetic and artistic principles of different types of art and the feasibility of such experiments. At present, Baudelaire's frank focus on the of word - color, word - sound is emphasized, which significantly dynamized the poetic lines, asserting the potential of rhythm as a component of the art form. It is noted that the author's idea of CORRESPONDANCES - compliance - scrupulous consideration of the specifics of each art form, the synthesis of which the creative personality plans to carry out, was of special importance for substantiating the problem of synthesis. It is emphasized that another direction of Baudelaire’s art-critical activity is connected with the evaluation of the works of specific painters and graphic artists, whose works reflected different directions of aesthetic and artistic pursuits of the French art of that time. It is articulated that acting as a critic of both academicism and romanticism, which - according to Baudelaire - in the period 1840s - 1850s already exhausted its creative potential, he gradually began to lay the foundations of the aesthetics of decadence and symbolism, which will be fully embodied in his poetic collection Flowers of Evil (1857). Зауважено, що підтримуючи і поділяючи засади біографічного методу Ш.-О.Сент-Бьова, котрий активно входив у теоретичний ужиток за життя Бодлера, він виразно персоналізував матеріал статей, плідно використовуючи потенціал аналогій та порівняльного аналізу. It is noted that by supporting and sharing the principles of the biographical method of S.-O. Sainte-Beuve, which was in active theoretical use during Baudelaire's life, he clearly personalized the material of the articles, fruitfully using the potential of analogies and comparative analysis. The article focuses on Baudelaire's interest in the principle of interdisciplinarity, that its application allows to organically combine specific aspects of several humanities. In the artist's research field, the marker of interdisciplinarity was the conceptual-categorical apparatus he had developed: philosophy (eclecticism, pattern), aesthetics (ideal, beauty), ethics (doubt, heroism), psychology (feelings, imagination), and also shown that Baudelaire's idea of falsification of feeling is still not adequately interpreted. It is stated that Baudelaire's position on the need for a clear distinction between the concepts of complete and perfect - he formulated this thesis in the process of analyzing the work of C. Corot, which he praised - needs further understanding and elaboration. The article emphasizes that Baudelaire's theoretical legacy - in the long run - is consistent with the main trends of modern European humanities and should be taken into account in the logic of its further development.

Equity in teaching academic language—an interdisciplinary approach

ABSTRACTSome argue that supporting minoritized students’ “academic language” (AL) development fosters equity in education. Others contend that AL is hegemonic, and that attempts to teach it perpetuate inequities across racial, ethnic, social class, immigrant, and related sociocultural and linguistic student differences. In this article, we frame the topic of this special issue—interdisciplinary approaches to equity in teaching AL—and show how authors across positions and analytic methods examine the goals of teaching AL and recommend ways for educators to foster meaningful language awareness for students. Although substantive, unresolved disagreements between positions remain; we identify points of agreement as well, which we present to educators as interdisciplinary principles of equity in teaching. Namely, educators should 1) understand how language is more than just vocabulary; 2) recognize academic features in students’ everyday talk; 3) develop awareness of language and its contexts of use with students, and 4) foster critical language awareness.

SYSTEM-FORMING ELEMENTS AND FACTORS INFLUENCING THE ENVIRONMENTAL AND ECONOMIC SECURITY OF SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT OF AGROINDUSTRIAL COMPLEX

The article investigates the essence of system-forming elements and factors of influence on ecological and economic security of sustainable development of agroindustrial complex. Ecological and economic security, as one of the priority areas of economic science, based on subject and interdisciplinary principles in the field of organization and management, will contribute to the formation of a new agricultural sector of the economy. It has been established that the agroeconomic security system for sustainable agro-industrial development is complex, has an extensive communication system and is interconnected with other multi-stage systems, in particular food security. The definition of "system of ecological and economic security of sustainable development of agroindustrial complex" has been formed. It is proved that the link between the environmental and economic security of sustainable agro -economic development with the quality of life of the population indicates the existence of a set of threats that need to be explored to justify the impact tools and technologies for managing the environmental-economic security of sustainable agro-industrial development.

Electrochemomechanical coupled behaviors of deformation and failure in electrode materials for lithium-ion batteries

The growing demands of lithium-ion batteries with high energy density motivate the development of high-capacity electrode materials. The critical issue in the commercial application of these electrodes is electrochemomechanical degradation accompanied with the large volume change, built-in stress, and fracture during lithiation and delithiation. The strong and complex couplings between mechanics and electrochemistry have been extensively studied in recent years. The multi-directional couplings, e.g., (de)lithiation-induced effects and stress-regulated effects, require cooperation in the interdisciplinary fields and advance the theoretical and computational models. In this review, we focus on the recent work with topics in the electrochemomechanical couplings of deformation and fracture of conventional and alloying electrodes through experimental characterization, theoretical and computational models. Based on the point of view from mechanics, the strategies for alleviating the degradation are also discussed, with particular perspectives for component-interaction patterns in the composite electrodes. With interdisciplinary principles, comprehensive understanding of the electrochemomechanical coupled mechanism is expected to provide feasible solutions for low-cost, high-capacity, high-safety and durable electrodes for lithium-ion batteries.

The System Approach and Problems of Modeling Natural-Technogenic Safety

The paper substantiates the necessity of using the system analysis as an effective tool for studying security problems, in particular the problems of ensuring natural and man-made safety, in the study of natural and anthropogenic threats. The article shows the interrelation and interdependence of natural and man-made safety factors, which is confirmed at the fundamental level today. The article identifies the main types of natural- anthropogenic hazards, such as those of natural, man-made, social character. To study the problems of natural and man-made safety, the model of an ecological-technogenic system is proposed, which adequately reflects the main processes that determine the problems of natural and man-made safety; the specificity of the system approach to problems of natural and man-made safety is determined. This model allows us to classify the risks of the complex system operation. The article, using the methodology of system analysis, highlights the most important methodological principles to be followed when exploring ecological and man-made systems as well. They are: the principle of optimal simplicity, the principle of social responsibility, the principle of interdisciplinarity of the ecological-technogenic system, the principle of objectivity, the principle of hierarchy of goals, the principle of values and “economic realism”, the principle of analysing of constantly developing systems, the principle of system synthesis. The author formulates the main stages of the system analysis of natural and technological safety problems. The author concludes that developing the fundamentals of risk-based analysis of emergency situation consequences requires a special attention.

Shakespeare em mangá: a questão da leitura e da adaptação literária

Este artigo, cujo tema permeia os conceitos de leitura e de interdisciplinaridade aplicados às histórias em quadrinhos, pretende discorrer a respeito da imiscuição entre palavra e imagem na composição das narrativas sequenciais. A linguagem quadrinizada, rica em significação, exige o esforço na leitura de dois códigos diferentes, ainda que complementares; e tal premissa converge com o princípio interdisciplinar, que busca a cooperação entre fatores distintos para promoção do saber. Partindo da indagação a respeito de que modo o termo interdisciplinaridade pode ser associado à leitura de quadrinhos, buscar-se-á alcançar os objetivos de analisar as concepções acerca do termo leitura, bem como apontar elementos necessários à compreensão da linguagem logo-imagética e, por fim, discutir os pressupostos teóricos do princípio interdisciplinar aplicados à educação. O corpus de análise consiste numa adaptação literária da tragédia Romeu e Julieta de Shakespeare. O método qualitativo por uso de levantamento bibliográfico baseou a discussão desse trabalho.

Transcendental approach to the development of humanistic worldview by means of integration of ethical and esthetical influences

Ukraine's educational tradition needs transcendental reconsideration of its ethical and esthetical components in the context of European cultural space. Importance of introducing the main categories of moral and aesthetic consciousness to students of Universities to form a holistic understanding of the genesis of moral and aesthetic culture of mankind can hardly be overestimated. Modern society sets new requirements for education and science in order to develop cultural and professional competencies. The proposed specialized analytical integration course will allow to methodologically provide an understanding of ethics oriented towards moral reflection and join the system of aesthetic knowledge and ideas. The specificity of this combination is built on the principle of interdisciplinarity of learning on a background of philosophical propaedeutic and consists in the presentation of the basic concepts and problems of the ethical and aesthetical block in their relationship with educational issues.

КОНСТРУИРОВАНИЕ МОДЕЛИ ФОРМИРОВАНИЯ ГОТОВНОСТИ БУДУЩИХ МАГИСТРОВ ПРОГРАММНОЙ ИНЖЕНЕРИИ К ПРОФЕССИОНАЛЬНОЙ КОММУНИКАЦИИ

The article deals with the relevant problem of training master students for professional communication. On the basis of the theoretical analysis of the labor functions for programmers specified in the professional standard and the analysis of competencies outlined in the Federal state educational standards of higher education 3+, the authors highlighted the relevant competence – readiness for professional communication. The competence requires the search for productive educational measures to promote the development of this type of readiness. The aim of the research is to construct a model of formation of readiness of future software engineering masters for professional communication. According to the purpose the following tasks are solved: 1) the algorithm of model design is developed and tested; 2) by means of the analysis of documents the studied problem relevance is proved; 3) the analysis of scientific sources assisted to specify the definition of the readiness of future software engineering for professional communication and define the list of necessary knowledge, abilities and skills; 4) on the basis of the modeling method, a structural model of the educational process is constructed and the content of its components is given. To solve these problems, we relied on the methodology of systematic, competence and integrative approaches. Besides, we used methods of documents analysis, theoretical analysis and synthesis, observation, analysis of products of educational activities and modeling which are considered as adequate to the tasks. On the basis of the methods of observation and analysis of the products of educational activity, the insufficient level of readiness of future software engineering masters for professional communication is recorded. For its qualitative improvement the model of formation of readiness of future software engineering masters for professional communication is developed. The main feature of this model is the use of the interdisciplinary principle in the educational process of the University. Interactive teaching methods, interdisciplinary projects and modern scientific and educational Internet resources that increase motivation and involvement of students are chosen as the most effective methods of formation of readiness for professional communication. Theoretical and practical results of the work can be used in training programs for graduate students. The scheme proposed by the authors can form the basis for the design of models and methodological ideas for the development of students' competencies in the oral and written business communication, scientific sphere of communication, intercultural aspects of interaction with specialists, etc.

The fundamental principles of civil procedure and the reasonableness of the time of a trial

In the article "the fundamental principles of civil procedure" and " the principles of civil procedural law" are considered as synonyms. They are understood as normatively fixed requirements that reflect the values of civil procedural law, reproduce the standards of fair trial and determine the procedure of a trial. Such requirements should be pursued by the court and other participants of civil procedure because they have general, stable and imperative nature and perform regulatory and interpretative functions in relation to ordinary rules of civil procedural law. The possibility to classify the requirement about "reasonableness of the time of a trial" as an interdisciplinary principle of judicial procedure is called into question because the lack of a unified approach to its regulation. Taking into account the provisions of the current procedural legislation and the decisions of the European Court of Human Rights, the author proposes to interpret this requirement in three ways: 1) as a convention requirement arising from para. 1 art. 6 ECHR; 2) as a requirement for a general time of a trial, which constitutes an indicator of the effectiveness of protection of violated, unrecognized or disputed rights, freedoms and interests (p. 10 p. 3 art. 2 CPC); 3) as a requirement for the time limits of procedural actions in specific cases (art. 121 of the CPC). At the same time, as a requirement for a general time of a trial "the reasonableness of the time of a trial" is an evaluative concept. It cannot be understood as a fundamental principle of civil procedure. In its ontological nature, it is a legal axiom that reproduces the ideal model for the administration of justice and considered to be a tool for realization of the task of timely trial.

Management experts have agreed to put planning as the main function and even become the base for the remain other management functions. Planning is a very basic matter for organizations, including educational institutions. In order to make good planning, several planning principles are needed which must be used as a guide. The principle of conventional education planning includes interdisciplinary principles, flexible principles, principles of efficiency-effectiveness, principles of progress of change, principles of objective, rational and systematic, cooperative-comprehensive principles and principles of human resources development. In this article the author tries to describe the planning principles in the perspective of the Qur'an. (1) Interdisciplinary principles (Bayna Huqul Al-Dirosah), QS. An-Nahl [16]: 89, (2) Flexible principle, QS. Al-Hajj [22]: 78, (3) (4) The principle of effectiveness-efficiency (Fu’aliyah-kafaah), QS.

Sustentabilidade ou responsabilidade organizacional? Uma análise conceitual sobre gestões hoteleiras

Gestões sustentáveis são influenciadas por fatores socioambientais, culturais e econômicos que repercutem, positiva ou negativamente, por meio dos impactos produzidos por suas relações com a sociedade e o meio ambiente. Justamente por isso, suas estratégias devem assumir preceitos interdisciplinares que supram as expectativas econômicas dos stakeholders e assumam responsabilidades coerentes no seu macroambiente. Assim, reconhece-se que tais gestões devem ser entendidas enquanto um emaranhado complexo e indissociável de responsabilidades socioculturais, políticas, econômicas e ambientais. Contudo, por meio de três estudos bibliométricos – pautados por pressupostos qualitativos – os autores apresentaram o comprometimento do segmento hoteleiro acerca dessa temática, notando-se: uma predileção por responsabilidades socioambientais; a opção pela não construção de uma gestão participativa. Contextualização essa que ratifica a ânsia por critérios que favoreçam a solidariedade intergeracional, permitindo atender à lógica econômica vigente e propor uma estrutura organizacional socialmente justa, economicamente rentável, culturalmente compatível e ambientalmente amigável.

The higher education institution’s Scientific Library to play the role of an open archive

The role of the higher education institutions’ libraries in building and maintaining the institution’s open archives is highlighted. The author emphasize that open archives are demanded highly by the scientific community as the data is free. The open archive structured by disciplinary or interdisciplinary principle can become the base for informal associations (collaborations, consortia, etc.) around science schools or research centers (faculties, institutions, universities, research organizations). Expanded functionalities and instruments to get scientometric indicators are analyzed in detail. These functions make the alternative source for measuring scientific performance of organizations and individual researchers systematically and adequately. The librarians responsibilities related to collecting and preparing scientometric indicators are highlighted. The open archives, institutional repositories, e-libraries can provide both traditional scientometric indicators (impact factors, Hirsch index, etc.), and alternative metrics (publication web indicators). Scientometric data collection, accumulation, interpretation and preparation are continuously expanding processes and they enhance the librarians’ roles.

PHILOSOPHICAL AND PEDAGOGICAL DREAMS AND REAL ACTIONS OF THE OUTSTANDING SCIENTIST OF CONTEMPORARY TIME

The article outlines the philosophical and pedagogical views of the outstanding ukrainian scientist I. Ziaziun, who dedicated his life and work to the master in all his hypostases. In his active work, new ideas, author's theories and concepts were born, which today cause dissatisfaction with the conservatives, who are a lot in state bodies and in the educational field.The problem of freedom of the personality in the space of pedagogical action, technology and techniques of personality development of freedom of subjects of learning; epistemological and culturological dimensions of the educational system, preparation of teachers for the educational process as the expected responsible action – are extremely important and predictive layers of scientific knowledge, which are substantiated in the writings of the scientist. Particular attention is paid to the disclosure of the provisions concerning: logistical model of the pedagogical outlook, new approaches to teacher training in Ukraine; university teacher training for profile education of senior students; the leading role of pedagogical departments in the training of future teachers; epistemological and culturological dimensions of the educational system; continuous education, its conceptual foundations, models, content and forms.The scientist's dream of a high teacher status in Ukraine was combined with a philosophical belief that teacher's teacher's skills would become a powerful and at the same time a subtle tool that will open the hearts of children and parents, will strengthen love for family, friends and open up children's talents. Scientists have substantiated, confirmed and really introduced the concept of pedagogical skill, which has deep roots, reaching sources of ukrainian history, culture, ethno-national traditions, wisdom of our people. For many years the scientist has crystallized theoretical and methodological positions and non-traditional interdisciplinary principles of pedagogical skill.It was emphasized that academician Ivan Ziaziun's legacy should be studied in different directions: philosophical, ethical, psychological, pedagogical, methodological and others. The scientific value is its prognostic views on psychodiagnostics. The constant search for innovative approaches enabled the methodological substantiation of psycho-pedagogical principles of pedagogical skill as a system of professional competences.

MODELING A TRAJECTORY FOR ECONOMIC FACULTIES DEVELOPMENT IN TECHNICAL UNIVERSITIES UNDER THE CONDITIONS OF ECONOMY DIGITALIZATION

Rapid changes in modern society and technological reality define significant difficulties in forming the development trajectory of technical universities. More and more discussions on the prospects for the economic faculties development in technical universities break out because of the most uncertainly indicated medium-term demand for economic and management specialties. An interdisciplinary approach becomes important not only in theoretic studies, but also for university graduates’ practical skills. The purpose of this paper is to justify the need and to work out a new model of economic faculties development in technical universities according to today’s economic and social demands. The article presents a critical theoretical and methodological analysis of Russian and foreign literature. The materials of the research are statistic, survey, and questionnaires data. There have been used methods of system analysis, of management theory, and of statistical data processing. The analysis showed, firstly, the increasing need for specialists in economic and management spheres providing the quality of human capital; secondly, existing qualification gaps between the professional competencies provided by universities and those required by employers; thirdly, the necessity to coordinate the interests of the four members of the labour market - state, employers, educational organizations, and students. The developed model is based on the principles of interdisciplinarity, universality, practical orientation, and takes into account modern economy digitalization requirements, as well as state educational and professional standards. Unlike other models, this one determines the main directions of economic faculties development, justifies the need for educational programmes for them to be oriented, and identifies the targeted competencies of students and teachers. The practical significance of the research is in the developed model results application, which makes it possible to improve the quality of the education in the spheres of economics and management, therefore increasing the efficiency of education and research in technical universities.

Methodological principle of interdisciplinarity in the history of economics

Throughout its history, economic science has been influenced by the principles and methods of more exact sciences. This influence can be traced in the concepts of both classical and neoclassical schools. The latter interpreted economic phenomena and processes from a subjective psychological point of view and contributed to the formation of a particular scientific direction – economic psychology. Institutional school that views the economy as an evolving system has generated such an interdisciplinary trend as economic genetics. The influence of exact sciences on the economic thought has manifested itself not only in the wide application of mathematical modeling, but also in the reference to the analogy with physical processes which formed another interdisciplinary research field – econophysics. Experiencing the influence and employing research methods of natural and exact sciences, economic science in turn ‘penetrates into the territory’ of social disciplines (sociology, politology, history) which generated separate directions of economic analysis: home economics, public choice theory, economic history etc. Such an approach which has not always been favourably received by the experts in related disciplines has been named «economic imperialism» whose representatives are supporters of both neoclassic and new institutional theory. Methodological mainstream is being replaced by methodological pluralism which would entail the coexistence of different theoretical perspectives and interdisciplinary approach is an essential element in building this tradition. This places new demands on the quality of economic education. A modern economist must have knowledge in different sciences and be able to use their analytic apparatus. At the post-nonclassical stage in its development the science of economics makes extensive use of interdisciplinary principles and analytical tools of both natural and humanitarian sciences, having achieved notable progress along this path. Interdisciplinary linkages allow us to reveal deeper patterns, bring to a qualitatively new level of scientific knowledge. Although interdisciplinarity do not always demonstrate effective results it may be considered as one of perspective means of solving complex problems of modern times.

Envisioning future innovative experimental ecosystems through the foresight approach. Case: Design Factory

Change makers are visionaries who wish to bring change to their respective fields. As technological change is accelerating, it is relevant to consider, how the way and what we teach can evolve with the future to remain meaningful and pioneering. Design Factory at Aalto University, as an innovative experimental ecosystem with interdisciplinary principles and new teaching methodologies has been successful in and at the forefront in educating the students to be change-makers. The paper presents a case study of holistically anticipating plausible futures for innovative experimental ecosystems utilizing a foresight approach. We analyze how the ways of working, spaces, and teaching methods of one such ecosystem, Design Factory at Aalto University in Finland, could support students learning in the year 20 × 6 {x = 2, 3}. We present the process of drawing virtual lines that connect trends, future drivers, visions, and scenarios using a contemporary approach that fuses qualitative and quantitative methods. The results from the study are six future scenarios for the Design Factory, that have implications for innovation ecosystems in general. These results are expected to further foster or trigger new research and development experiments, directions for building radical environments, new teaching methods and ways of working.

Globalization of Nanoengineers’ Professional Training: Foreign Experience

AbstractConceptual bases of globalization influence onto engineer education in the field of nanoelectronics as well as formation of global skills necessary for life and work in a globalized society have been considered. Modern state of incorporating the global dimension into the process of future nanoelectronics engineers’ learning has been analyzed. Key skills and conditions of providing connection between results of learning and the global dimension in the engineering education have been defined. Possibilities of the global dimension realization (elaboration of new methods and approaches), integration of the education content on the principles of consistency and interdisciplinary nature as well as monitoring of learning results have been suggested. Special attention has been paid to implementation of the global dimension into the engineering profession that includes three aspects: generic themes, generic skills and generic dispositions. Main directions of developing the system of engineering education in the field of nanoelectronics have been specified. It has been defined that incorporation of the global dimension into the learning process of future engineers in the field of nanoelectronics encompasses five stages: the substantiation of key skills that define global dimension in engineering education; the provision of connection between the results of learning and global dimension in engineering education; the determination of opportunities to realize global dimension (elaboration of new methods and approaches); the integration of the learning content on the basis of consistency and interdisciplinary principles; the monitoring of learning results. In the result of the carried out research it has been concluded that the basis of conceptual approaches to engineering training of future specialists in the field of nanoelectronics is the logics and the content of the “engineer” notion, specifics of engineering activities in the field of nanoelectronics, as well as their functional duties in the context of globalization challenges. The process of introduction of the global dimension into the content of engineering programs in nanoelectronics encourages the development of an engineer’s personality at all the levels – individual, national and global.

Transmediality in Symbolist and Surrealist Photo-Literature

Abstract The fin de siècle period throughout Europe undoubtedly cultivated the “interdisciplinary principle of la fraternité des arts” (Genova 158). Literature, poetry, visual art and music superseded former hierarchical structures favouring the painterly. Correspondence between intellectuals would cross-fertilise between disparate realms through publishing in interdisciplinary cultural journals that were distributed internationally across cosmopolitan cityscapes. The ability for the photograph to be mechanically reproduced, postulated by Walter Benjamin in 1936, allowed for one of the first transmedial aesthetics, to become known as photo-literature. Previously, reproduction had been confined to the textual realm. Bruges La Morte by Georges Rodenbach was the first ever work of photo-literature to commingle these respective art forms, sixty-five years after the invention of photography in 1827. Rodenbach’s novella was first published in 1892 at the height of the symbolist movement which spanned literature, painting, photography and more. Its pseudo-progeny, Andre Breton’s surrealist text Nadja was published in 1928 depicting the author’s meandering through the Parisian cityscape. In these works, text and image engender a sense of cosmopolitanism through the function of transposition.
