Process Of Depersonalization Research Articles

Negative Capability in Keats’s “Ode to Autumn”

This paper examines and analyzes the ideations of negative capability postulated by Keats in his “Ode to Autumn”. His negative capability embraces uncertainty, doubt, and ambiguity in poetry, without seeking to impose rational explanations or resolutions. He employs the third- person narration, depersonalized imagery, universal themes, and avoids using personal pronouns in writing the odes. These aspects expose his fundamental concept of negative capability because he desires to remain in doubt, uncertainty, and mysteries by the process of depersonalization of the authorship. He explicates the true nature of beauty in his “Ode to Autumn”. He embraces the mystery and complexity of the ripening of fruits like grapes, apples, gourd and hazelnuts. The bee-hives are filled with honey. The season embodies the contrasting qualities with their harmonious coexistence. Keats explores the occupations of autumn. The season performs various activities in the form of a reaper, a winnower, a gleaner and a cider –presser. Keats juxtaposes the activities of life as well as the passivity/ death in these occupations. He introduces the songs of autumn. The mournful sounds of the gnats, the bleating of the lambs, the singing of the crickets, the whistling of the redbreast and the twittering of the swallows offer the music of autumn. The ambiguities of the abundance and the decline in these songs reflect the cyclical nature of the autumn season. This paper applies the dynamics of the qualitative approach, with an interpretive research design to unveil the beauty of the autumn season.

КОНЦЕПЦИЯ СМЕРТИ АВТОРА И ПРОБЛЕМА ПОСТТВОРЧЕСТВА В ЦИФРОВУЮ ЭПОХУ

The paper analyzes Roland Barthes’ concept described in the article The Death of the Author (1968). It is shown that two different interpretations of the concept can be distinguished in this text: 1) the author dies with the appearance of the reader; 2) the author dies with the demise of the bourgeois era. The paper attempts to combine them into a single concept basing on the analysis of the notion «depersonalization», which appears to be among the fundamental ones for Barthes. It is concluded that by the impersonal subject of writing, the French intellectual most likely understood not an individual, but human in general or humanity as a whole. The process of depersonalization is carried out through language. The language, according to Barthes, is a set of ready-made words, phrases that the writer draws for his needs, taking them out of the storerooms as from a huge box. As a result, the author turns from the creator of ideas, what he appeared to be since Modern times, into a simple scriptwriter. The language performs the same depersonalization procedure with the reader. In the digital society, the problem of depersonalization of the author is revived in a new guise, as a result of which the concept proposed by Barthes acquires second life. With the use of modern generative technologies, the work of live artists is imitated, sometimes without their consent. A special case is the situation with deceased artists whose digital images can be artificially recreated by modern technologies and used in new works. Examples cited in the paper include cases from modern musical art, the GPT neural network as well as Russian cinema.

Automatic depersonalization of confidential information

Objectives. As the scope of personal data transmitted online continues to grow, national legislatures are increasingly regulating the storage and processing of digital information. This paper raises the problem of protecting personal data and other confidential information such as bank secrecy or medical confidentiality of individuals. One approach to the protection of confidential data is to depersonalize it, i.e., to transform it so that it becomes impossible to identify the specific subject to whom the data belongs. The aim of the work is to develop a method for the rapid and safe automation of the depersonalization process using machine learning technologies.Methods. The authors propose the use of artificial intelligence models to implement a system for the automatic depersonalization of personal data without the use of human labor to preclude the possibility of recognizing confidential information even in unstructured data with sufficient accuracy. Rule-based algorithms for improving the precision of the depersonalization system are described.Results. In order to solve this problem, a model of named entity recognition is trained on confidential data provided by the authors. In conjunction with rule-based algorithms, an F1 score greater than 0.9 is achieved. For solving specific depersonalization problems, a choice between several implemented anonymization algorithm variants can be made.Conclusions. The developed system solves the problem of automatic anonymization of confidential data. This opens an opportunity to ensure the secure processing and transmission of confidential information in many areas, such as banking, government administration, and advertising campaigns. The automation of the depersonalization process makes it possible to transfer confidential information in cases where it is necessary, but not currently possible due to legal restrictions. The distinctive feature of the developed solution is that both structured data and unstructured data are depersonalized, including the preservation of context.

APPLICATION OF SIMULATED COMPUTER SIMULATION TO THE TASK OF PERSONAL DEPERSONALIZATION DATA. MODEL AND ALGORITHM FOR DECONTAMINATION BY SYNTHESIS

The second part of the study on the topic of automated depersonalization of personal data is presented. The review and analysis of the prospects for research, performed earlier, is supplemented here by a practical result. A model of the depersonalization process is proposed, reducing task of ensuring anonymity of personal data to manipulation of samples of different types of random elements. Accordingly, the key idea of transforming data to ensure their anonymity, provided that utility is maintained, is to apply the synthesis method, i.e. complete replacement of all unpublished data with synthetic values. The proposed model identifies a set of element types for which synthesis patterns are proposed. The set of patterns compiles the depersonalization algorithm by the synthesis method. Methodically, each template is based on a typical statistical tool – frequency probability estimates, nuclear Rosenblatt-Parsen density estimates, statistical averages and covariances. The application of the algorithm is illustrated by a simple example from the field of civil air transportation.

RESISTÊNCIA, CONTRACULTURA E SOBREVIVÊNCIA: ARTISTAS BRASILEIROS EXILADOS EM LONDRES NOS ANOS 1970

The article discusses aspects related to exile during the Brazilian civil-military dictatorship of the 1960s and 1970s, based on the analysis of testimonies, letters and short stories by artists and writers such as Antonio Bivar (Verdes vales do fim do mundo, 1984); Caetano Veloso (Tropical Truth, 1997); and Caio Fernando Abreu (Estranhos Estrangeiros, 1996; Cartas, 2002; and Ovelhas negras, 2009, among others), about their experiences as exiles in London. With the support of several theoretical and critical texts, such as MACIEL (1987); VIÑAR (1992); ROLLEMBERG (1999); PIZARRO (2006); SZNAJDER, RONIGER (2009); RIDENTI (2014); GASPARI (2014), and seeking to interrelate history, psychoanalysis, politics and memorial literature, the intention is to demonstrate how the condition of self-exile or forced exile led Brazilian artists to experience intense processes of depersonalization, identity crises and depression, that interfered with their personal lives and artistic careers.

Pasung: A qualitative study of shackling family members with mental illness in Indonesia.

Use of coercion on people with mental illness is a deeply embedded practice around the world. Not only does the practice raise human rights issues, it also leads to further mental, physical, and emotional harms. In Indonesia, 'pasung' is a common practice of physical restraint, which involves lay people using a variety of illegal methods to tie a person. In this article, we explore the meanings families attach to their actions when using pasung by asking the question: to what extent does the use of pasung by families emerge from socioculturally prescribed norms and conventions? To explore this question, we conducted and analysed eight interviews with family members from Nias Island, Indonesia using Giorgi's descriptive phenomenological method. Our findings reveal that pasung emerges in the disjunction between sociocultural demands and the family's capacity to meet these demands. Struggling to understand the behaviour of a family member with mental illness, the family tries to cope with neighbourhood reactions to ever more visible behavioural signs alongside managing their everyday life. These struggles, in turn, make their social situation increasingly stressful, which initiates a process of depersonalization as a response. Moreover, the prevailing sociocultural values convey a need to act according to expected norms. As such, pasung materializes as a socioculturally accepted practice that allows families to take back control in stressful social situations. In sum, when families feel overwhelming emotional stress and a sense of powerlessness, they try to resolve their situation by using pasung to regain control and thus manage their lives.

Personalistic View of John Paul II on the Humanizing Function of Art in the Context of Dialogue between the Church and Artists

This article presents the way John Paul II, the head of the Vatican at the beginning of the third millennium, theologically and philosophically substantiates and establishes the principles of a new humanism through the dialogue between the Church and art as the most personalized sphere of human activity. The conceptual essence of the key idea of the humanizing function of art, in the personalistic philosophy of art of John Paul II is revealed from the methodological standpoint of religious studies. It determines the particular nature and tasks of the renewed dialogue between the Church and artists, aimed to overcome the processes of depersonalization and dehumanization of culture, caused by atheistic humanism and growing increasingly during the 20th century. The author ponders on The Letter of Pope John Paul II to Artists and Towards a Pastoral Approach to Culture, two papal documents. Their appearance on the eve of the 2000th anniversary of Christianity became symbolic. These documents draw attention because, firstly, although the idea of a dialogue between the Church and artists as a way of embodying spiritual values of a new humanism in the theological and philosophical discourse of John Paul II had been formed over several decades, it found its conceptual solution precisely in these two papal documents. Secondly, it is in these two documents that the essence of the cultural policy of the 264th Pope is consistently set forth, meant to overcome the consequences of atheistic humanism and create a new humanism, and thus to overcome the civilizational anthropological crisis and develop a new ideological paradigm of the third millennium.

Professional credibility under attack: Responses to negative social evaluations in newly contested professions

How do professionals attempt to restore their credibility when it has been tarnished by crises or scandals? To address this issue, we examined how banking professionals who testified during a government inquiry into the 2008 banking crisis in Ireland responded when confronted with negative social evaluations (NSEs) evidenced by personal criticism of their judgment, competence, or morality. We find that professional credibility is renegotiated through two processes: depersonalization and personalization. Testifiers distanced themselves from criticism through a depersonalization process by which they reoriented the unfolding narrative toward broader collectives such as their own profession, adjacent professions, and the macroeconomic environment. They also engaged in a personalization process by which they showcased individual efforts to improve their work processes and outcomes to bolster their professional credibility. Our work theoretically elaborates the view of NSEs as being socially constructed and brings the role of professional credibility of individuals to the fore of the NSE literature. In doing so, it offers a broader perspective on the repertoire of criticisms and responses associated with NSEs than that documented by prior studies, and it emphasizes how professionals seek to reassert their credibility. We also present a less deterministic view of public inquiries.

Der Name des Mannes: a nomeação ficcional e a decadência familiar em “Os Buddenbrook” e “Os Maia”

A temática da decadência em “Os Buddenbrook”: decadência duma família” é explícita: materializa-se enquanto subtítulo da obra literária. Em “Os Maias”, repete-se a estrutura essencial do título anterior, focalizando-se um nome de família. Sabe-se, entretanto, de antemão, que o enredo contemplado pelo romance de Thomas Mann perpassará por episódios cujo desfecho está no desnodar decadente das gerações da família Buddenbrook, o que, ainda que não explícito, repete-se na obra de Eça de Queirós. Para concretizar de forma estética a temática pretendida, ambos os autores focalizam cada geração das famílias ficcionais, desnudando dialeticamente pensamentos e papeis sociais. Desse desnudamento, um traço se mostra compartilhado por quase todas as personalidades: a preocupação para com a perpetuação do nome da família; fardo que pressagia a total extinção de ambos os antropônimos. A fim de demonstrar a relação da nomeação com a temática da decadência familiar, este artigo propõe um diálogo entre a Literatura Comparada e a Antroponomástica Ficcional – estudo dos nomes ficcionais – e situa o processo da despersonalização subjetiva do nome de família para a concretização do ápice da decadência: o desparto social do nome.

PERPETUATION OF RADICAL IDEOLOGY: DEPERSONALIZATION AND AGENCY OF WOMEN AFTER THE BANNING OF HIZBUT TAHRIR INDONESIA

This study tries to see the existence of women in Hizbut Tahrir Indonesia in Gorontalo after the issuance of Perppu No. 2 of 2017. Based on qualitative research, wherein data is obtained through interviews and focus group discussions, the results of the study found that members of the HTI Muslimah group, as individuals undergo a process of depersonalization. This process gained legitimacy from religious understanding, especially related to belief in the concept of fatalistic destiny, which has contributed to the perpetuation of patriarchal interpretation. Their determination to hold the Taqiyuddin an-Nabhani book as a single source of teachings has contributed effectively in strengthening the process of depersonalization. The banning of HTI did not weaken the group's identity and depersonalize its members. The ban only shifts their da'wah space; from the public to limited space, from large group targets to the individual using a door to door, utilizing networks of friendship and brotherhood, and placing the role of women more significantly. However, there has also been a change in the level of their depersonalization and compliance due to the access to new technologies and knowledge that encouraged them to have critical thinking, modalities, and power to internalize more relevant knowledge and identity.

A DESPERSONALIZAÇÃO DAS MULHERES COMO FERRAMENTA DE CONTROLE DAS INSTITUIÇÕES PRISIONAIS PARA ALÉM DA PENA DE RECLUSÃO

Pretende-se nesta discussão identificar e refletir acerca do processo de despersonalização de mulheres privadas de liberdade infligido pelas instituições prisionais e compreender a institucionalização através da adequação às normas e condutas obrigatórias. Para refletir tal processo utilizam-se as noções de Erving Goffman de “instituições totais” e “estigma”, bem como a análise sobre a mortificação do eu em instituições fechadas. Este artigo objetiva também avaliar o sistema carcerário a partir de análise interseccional entre gênero, raça e classe, considerando aspectos fundamentais da criminologia crítica em Flauzina como ponto de referência e da discussão das alternativas penais levantadas por Angela Davis. Por fim, levantam-se possíveis formas de subversão à imposição de condutas no sistema carcerário, observando como esses comportamentos no interior das prisões femininas voltam-se à sustentação das individualidades e identidades das mulheres encarceradas, através do trabalho de campo realizado no Conjunto Penal Feminino do Complexo Penitenciário Lemos de Brito, em Salvador/BA.

Identity as Dependent Variable: How Americans Shift Their Identities to Align with Their Politics

AbstractPolitical science generally treats identities such as ethnicity, religion, and sexuality as “unmoved movers” in the chain of causality. I hypothesize that the growing salience of partisanship and ideology as social identities in the United States, combined with the increasing demographic distinctiveness of the nation's two political coalitions, is leading some Americans to engage in a self‐categorization and depersonalization process in which they shift their identities toward the demographic prototypes of their political groups. Analyses of a representative panel data set that tracks identities and political affiliations over a 4‐year span confirm that small but significant shares of Americans engage in identity switching regarding ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation, and class that is predicted by partisanship and ideology in their pasts, bringing their identities into alignment with their politics. These findings enrich and complicate our understanding of the relationship between identity and politics and suggest caution in treating identities as unchanging phenomena.

El misterio de la escritura en La sangre de un poeta (Le sang d'un poète, Jean Cocteau, 1932)

Jean Cocteau offers in The Blood of a Poet an interesting reflection on the nature of literary writing, shaping a personal cinematographic poetics based on universal symbols. The result describes the process of depersonalization to which the poet is forced when he finds himself compromised by a language which he does not recognize as his own. This implies the acceptance of his indeterminate condition, marked by an androgynous nature doomed to death.

Черное солнце и огороженный простор: образы неволи в творчестве Сергея Параджанова и Кадзуки Ясуо

The article is devoted to the art of two outstanding artists – Sergey Paradzhanov (USSR) and Kazuki Yasuo (Japan). Sregey Paradjanov was convicted and spent five years in camps, Yasuo Kazuki found himself in a Soviet camp for prisoners of war. The humiliating experience of the imprisonment of artists was reflected in their works, which did not cease behind barbed wire. But both artists are united by the theme of human freedom in unfree conditions, where the boundaries of freedom can be outlined by the boundaries of a totalitarian state, and by military order at the front, and by barbed wire of a camp fence.Paradzhanov and his camp creativity and outlined – fenced open space. He and Kazuki used bricolage techniques, and the Japanese artist himself composed the composition of colors, since the factory colors do not convey the alien black sun. At the same time, their presence in fundamentally different camps (camps and GUPVI camps) was reflected in the portraits of the prisoners: Parajanov’s campers had no need to survive, and Parajanov painted their colorful faces, tired of hunger and excessive labor, Japanese prisoners of war depersonalized and Kazuki painted them with the same faces. By the way, bodily practices were different: Paradzhanov's fellow campers suffered from syphilis, and Kazuk's fellow campers suffered from dystrophy. Paradzhanov and Kazuki create dolls that, by their own genre, reflect the depersonalization process and the puppet dependence of man in the hands of a totalitarian state. However, the fact that after the camp they became different, that the camp experience remained with the artists forever reflected in their self-portraits and especially in the logo. Sergey Paradzhanov in his logo depicted not only his profile, but also a thumbprint inside the letter C., this shows the prisoner's fingerprint and his unique identity, as well as the barbed wire. Kazuki in his logo shows a self-portrait in which he removed all the details and instead of a human face the captive's working tool appears.

Constructing professional services: For-profit care and domestic work agencies in the Czech Republic

This article addresses the developing market of care and domestic work in the Czech Republic, a former socialist country. While the research on paid care and domestic work is growing, less attention has been paid to the patterns that emerge when the services are demanded and supplied by intermediary, bureaucratized, for-profit placement agencies. Although the delegation of tasks through agencies has many similarities with the situation outside the market, it is in other regards quite different, generating different questions and challenges. Drawing upon 20 qualitative interviews with the owners of for-profit care and domestic work placement agencies, we illuminate how bureaucratized paid care and domestic work is organized in the post-socialist Czech Republic. We focus on how the agency owners create professionalism and the ways that care and domestic work services are professionalized in the social, cultural, and historical context of the Czech Republic. Based on our research, the praxis of the care and domestic work placement agencies is more about the professionalization of the service than the professionalization of the work itself. This professionalization is achieved through processes of de-personalization and bureaucratization.

Escrever é ser: heteronímia e escritura no Livro do Desassossego

O poeta português, em sua produção literária, experimentou algo até então inexplorado: viver poeticamente em um mundo identitário multíplice, onde cada voz e cada texto correspondente caracterizam-se como únicos, apesar das proximidades que se possam verificar entre essas identidades criativas. No Livro do Desassossego, Fernando Pessoa, embora pela voz de um semi-heterônimo (Bernardo Soares), explica poeticamente o processo da despersonalização, isto é, conferir sensações, emoções e reflexões a diferentes personalidades, com estilos próprios e genuínos. Pessoa é, assim, o lugar onde todos os eus que ele engendra sentem e registram suas próprias sensações. Ele é um artífice, cuja identidade se adere, por extensão ou contraposição, ao artifício produzido. Este ensaio propõe pensar que a voz soariana presente no Livro do Desassossego corresponde ao exercício identitário da escritura-processo pessoana que se caracteriza pelo desdobramento e pelo consequente estilhaçamento que multiplica, marcado pela heteronímia. Essa mobilidade é justamente o que possibilita a disseminação – que se concretiza, especialmente, na fragmentação emergente da prosa poética, na pulverização da voz e no esfacelamento do sujeito enunciador.

Humanization in healthcare arises from the need for a holistic approach to illness

Suffering is not only exclusive to patients or their relatives, but also to the health professionals, who feel to be at the center of the depersonalization process. Over-technification and the fact that the disease process is sometimes the only focal point of our activities, together with the ever-increasing influence of institutional power seen in recent times, all cause the health professional to be the first in demanding a change in health institution dynamics. Following initial reflection from one of the most technified medical specialties (Intensive Care Medicine), classically isolated from the rest of the Hospital and from the community, we implemented a project aimed at securing integration and empathy in our approach to patients and their relatives in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) of Infanta Margarita Hospital. The project was designed to incorporate tools for working on the most important elements of a humanization plan, i.e., the patients, their relatives, the health professionals and the community, attempting to disclose the work done in the ICU over a period of 12 months. This project is referred to as the Project ICU Infanta Margarita: 1 year: 12 months for 12 commitments.

From industry 4.0 to society 4.0, there and back

The new industrial paradigm Industry 4.0, or smart industry, is at the core of contemporary debates. The public debate on Industry 4.0 typically offers two main perspectives: the technological one and the one about industrial policies. On the contrary, the discussion on the social and organizational effects of the new paradigm is still underdeveloped. The article specifically examines this aspect, and analyzes the change that workers are subject to, along with the work organization, smart digital factories. The study originates from an empirical survey conducted by the author together with a multidisciplinary research group between 2014 and 2015 in some of the largest Italian factories. In particular, the article analyzes the links between digital society, digital culture and Industry 4.0, focusing on the issue of people’s participation in the process of change, within a specific case study from the railway sector. Many elements of the Industry 4.0 paradigm are widespread outside the factory, in society; they are not only technological elements but also cultural. One of the key aspects of the analysis is the question of participation and the “person-centered” culture. The subject is addressed critically by presenting both the RE-personalization processes (from the centrality of the users–consumers in consumption practices to the centrality of the worker in the work paradigm 4.0) and the new processes of DE personalization caused by digital automation.

Itinerario poético del cuerpo en vértigo: el personaje de Alejandra Pizarnik y el valor ontologizador de la despersonalización del yo poético

El objetivo del presente trabajo es estudiar la relación entre el cuerpo y la palabra en la obra de la poeta argentina, Alejandra Pizarnik, con especial atención al fenómeno de la despersonalización del yo poético. La principal línea de investigación parte del concepto del valor ontologizador del lenguaje poético, puesto que es precisamente la relación que el sujeto tiene con el lenguaje la que define las tensiones principales de la poética de Pizarnik. El trabajo obsesivo sobre el lenguaje vincula a la poeta al concepto de fatum, el destino poético del sujeto, que introduciremos en nuestro análisis a partir del libro titulado La escritura invisible: El discurso autobiográfico en Alejandra Pizarnik publicado por Patricia Venti (2008a). La autora utiliza este concepto en relación con la creación poética pizarnikiana para demostrar que la poeta determina su destino poético a través de la imposibilidad del lenguaje, lo que conduce al sujeto hacia su disolución y a la poeta al suicidio.
