Disrupting bodegas: Automation, appropriation, and the branding of urban authenticity

In September of 2017, two former Google employees announced the launch of a start-up in the U.S. called Bodega, a human-less convenience kiosk designed with machine learning capabilities that was named after small, neighborhood brick-and-mortar convenience stores in New York City. Using a textual analysis approach, this article explores the critical discourse that emerged on social media, blogs, and online news outlets in the aftermath the start-up's launch. It suggests that the narrative constructed about bodegas in urban communities reified a brand of multicultural urban authenticity and immigrant determination and grit. The branding of bodegas distances them from the very communities they historically served and obscures the complex realities of labor, precarity, and gentrification in New York City.

Ogunian Metaphysics and the Metaphor of a Knife in Wole Soyinka’s Alapata Apata

The widely celebrated Nigerian Playwright and Nobel Laureate, Wole Soyinka, is unapologetic about his fraternity with his hero-god and muse, Ogun – the Yoruba god of war, of iron and of destruction. Soyinka has, in fact, created many characters in his play-texts along the shores of Ogun’s visceral form. This study, therefore, explores Ogunian metaphysics and the metaphor of a knife in Wole Soyinka’s Alapata Apata. The study uses the textual analysis approach to give a close reading to the selected text and concludes that, Soyinka unveils the hegemonic constructs inherent in the dominant culture of elites. By so doing, he edges the subaltern few over the proletariats and makes the former to be more technically knowledgeable and insightful in the society.

Language conundrum in higher education institutions in South Africa: One step forward or two steps back?

Over the years, South African Courts have adjudicated on the status of English and Afrikaans in language policies of higher education institutions. This article reflects on the slow efforts by the South African government and higher education institutions towards the development and inclusion of languages indigenous to South Africa. Taking a textual analysis approach, the aim of this paper is to place emphasis on the need to develop and include indigenous languages of South Africa in the language policies of higher education institutions. The paper further seeks to contend that the inclusion of languages indigenous to South Africa will facilitate social cohesion and affirm restorative justice efforts given the historical marginalisation of black people in language and education. Building on a previously co-authored article addressing the use of indigenous languages in higher education institutions, this paper is limited to Chairperson of the Council of UNISA v AfriForum NPC 2021, the 2022 Commission of inquiry into allegations of racism at Stellenbosch university also known as the Kampepe Report, and the 2023 South African Human Rights Commission's Investigative Report into Allegations of Unconstitutional Language Practices at Certain Stellenbosch University Residences. The analysis presented in this paper will be grounded in transformative justice and a transitional justice framework.

The Impact of Text‐Based Financial Constraints on Stock Price Crash Risk: Evidence From the UK Firms

ABSTRACTThis paper employs a textual analysis approach to quantify financial constraints information from the narrative sections of annual reports in the UK firms. Then, the paper examines the impact of this information on the stock price crash risk in 250 firms from 2005 to 2021. The paper also analyses the moderating role of adopting the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) on the impact of text‐based financial constraints on stock price crash risk. It is found that text‐based financial constraints are positively associated with stock crash risk measures. It is also observed that adopting the IFRS weakens the positive impact of financial constraints on stock price crash risk. These results are robust to several controls and model specifications. The findings also have several implications for investors and other market participants for seeking evidence of the credibility of annual reports in reflecting relevant information that highlights financial constraints.

Research Trends and Social Perception of Women with Career Interruptions: A Text Analysis Approach

Research Trends and Social Perception of Women with Career Interruptions: A Text Analysis Approach

ПРАКТИЧНО-ДОСЛІДНИЦЬКИЙ ПРОЕКТ ЯК ІНСТРУМЕНТ ДОСЛІДНИЦЬКОГО НАВЧАННЯ У ПІДГОТОВЦІ ВЧИТЕЛІВ НІМЕЦЬКОЇ МОВИ

The article highlights the concept of research-based learning and analyses its implementation in European higher education institutions. It is found that pedagogical universities in Ukraine lack the necessary tools for the development of research skills in future teachers. There is also a lack of empirical research on research-based learning. These factors have led to the relevance of this article. The article presents one of the forms of implementation of research-based learning in the international curriculum "DLL - Learning to Teach German" for the training of future teachers of German. This programme is implemented with the support of the Goethe-Institut at the Mykhailo Kotsiubynskyi VDPU. The article describes the framework of implementation and the results of observations and empirical analysis of the development of students' competences. Research and reflective learning in the context of the DLL programme is carried out through the implementation of a practical research project (PRP). The emphasis is on the study of one's own teaching activities, observation and indepth reflection. It is noted that the implementation of the PDP poses certain challenges for students due to their lack of teaching experience and unfamiliarity with independent research. This context serves as the basis for a practical study based on the analysis of individual documentation of research projects completed by students over the last three years. The aim is to check the level of students' ability to reflect on their own experiences and to identify ways of improving their teaching practice. For a more in-depth analysis, five aspects of reflection were identified, distinguishing between PDRs based on their own teaching and those based on observation. The use of qualitative textual analysis, deductive and inductive approaches allowed us to draw conclusions and suggest ways to improve students' preparation for undertaking such research.

“Fever Sisters” in the artistic interpretation of Konstantin Balmont (based on the poems “The Spell of Twelve Girls” (1906) and “Thirteen Sisters” (1906))

The relevance of the topic is determined by the growing interest in studying the interaction between literature and folklore, as well as the importance of analyzing transformations of traditional folk motifs in the works of Russian poets of the 20th century. The image of fevers in Slavic mythology represents one of the most enigmatic phenomena of folk culture, making it an attractive subject for research. The work of Konstantin Balmont, known for his unique interpretations of folk motifs, allows us to uncover new aspects of this theme. The novelty of the study lies in the analysis of a little-studied aspect of Balmont's creativity – his appeal to the image of fevers in the poems “Spell from Twelve Maidens” and “Thirteen Sisters”. The work aims to identify the specifics of adapting folk motifs in the poet's works, as well as to determine the role of these images in shaping his artistic world. The purpose of the research is to analyze the features of the transformation of the traditional image of fevers in the Balmont's work and to reveal the mechanisms of his interaction with folk beliefs. To achieve this goal, it is necessary to solve the following tasks: to study the historical and cultural contexts in which ideas about fevers were formed; to consider the role of folk records by I. P. Sakharov and A. N. Afanasyev in Balmont's work; to conduct a comparative analysis of the two specified poems in terms of their use of folk motifs; to determine the extent of influence of folk incantations on the poet's work. The study was conducted using the method of comprehensive text analysis, including historical-cultural, comparative, and structural-semantic approaches. Materials from the works of renowned folklorists such as I. P. Sakharov, A. N. Afanasyev, T. A. Agapkina, A. L. Toporkov, M. I. Maslova, etc., were utilized. Special attention was paid to the analysis of the structure and content of Balmont's poems, as well as the identification of characteristic traits of his individual style. The main conclusions are as follows: Balmont deeply delved into the essence of folk beliefs and skillfully adapted traditional motifs to his creative world while preserving their original essence. He created original interpretations of folk images, giving them new life and actualizing them within the context of his contemporary era. The image of fevers in his poetry acquires symbolic significance, reflecting deep processes of human interaction with higher forces and one's own culture. Prospects for further research are associated with an in-depth analysis of the interrelationships between literature and folklore in Russian culture of the 20th century, focusing on the work of Balmont. It is also necessary to continue working on identifying the mechanisms of transformation of folk motifs in the works of other representatives of Russian literature, which will allow creating a more complete picture of the interaction between literature and folklore in the history of national culture.

Law and Lawlessness in Yorubá Society - A Critical Analysis of Ààrẹ Àgò Aríkúyẹrí and Adákẹ́dájọ́

This essay is centered on the comparative analysis of the justice system in traditional and modern Yorùbá society vis-à-vis equality of rule to law to all and sundry. This paper aims to analyze the effects of an upright as well as a corrupt judicial system on society. The theory adopted for this work is the sociological theory of literature. The model adopted under this theory is the mirror image approach. Proponents of this model believe there is a cordial relationship between literature and society because literature mirrors society. We employ an auto-telic textual analysis approach in our analysis of the two play texts, which are Ààrẹ Àgò Aríkúyẹrí and Adákẹ́dájọ́. Our findings in this work show that equality of all and sundry in justice dispensation will bring about peace, tranquility, and development in society why inequality as well as lack of equity, justice, and fairness as seen in the two texts breed lawlessness, anarchy and resort to self-help by those deprived of justice which will, in turn, brings about loss of life and properties as we are witnessing in Nigeria today. Based on our findings in this work, we believe that the solution to this problem is to follow the rule of law which should be above everybody, and to inculcate moral discipline (ìwà ọmọlúàbí) which is the watchword of the traditional Yoruba society in children through both formal and informal education by teachers, parents, and guardians.

Emergence of psycho-cognitive and socio-political perspectives during the dashboard appropriation process: The case of industrial SMEs in Morocco

The study aims to explore how the dashboard, initially designed to provide a rational view of organizational complexity, is appropriated by organizational actors in Moroccan Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs). The process of appropriation is iterative and complex, involving modifications to the artifact dimension of the tool and adaptations by user-actors in their cognitive, behavioral, and social dynamics. The research highlights the psycho-cognitive and socio-political factors influencing the use of the dashboard as a key management control tool. The motivation behind this study is to understand why such a tool can lead to disruptions, resistance to change, contextualization issues, and adoption problems within organizations, rather than fulfilling its initial purpose of rationalizing processes and standardizing behaviors. The research adopts a qualitative approach using the case study method, specifically multiple embedded case studies. The sample consists of three Moroccan SMEs within the industrial food sector. We deemed it appropriate to use a textual data analysis approach, selecting two methods for this purpose: lexical analysis and thematic analysis. The qualitative data analysis was conducted using NVivo 12 software. The findings indicate that the Pre-Appropriation phase creates a context that balances technical and political factors to reduce resistance among stakeholders. The subsequent Original Appropriation Phase involves a collective decision to adopt the dashboard, which can lead to either compliant integration or deviations that enhance user adaptation. Lastly, the Reappropriation phase challenges established routines, potentially resulting in either meaningful transformations or superficial engagement with the dashboard's features. This study demonstrates that the iterative process of dashboard appropriation in Moroccan SMEs, influenced by psychocognitive and sociopolitical factors, can result in resistance, adoption challenges, and unanticipated organizational adaptations and transformations.

Home in Han Suyin’s 'Till Morning Comes' from the Perspective of New Cultural Geography

Viewed through the lens of new cultural geography, a geographical landscape is a symbolic system showing the beliefs and values of society, as in the case of the home landscape. The article employs Mike Crang’s concepts of landscape and home to examine different homes in Han Suyin’s Till Morning Comes (1982). From leaving homes, searching for homes to returning homes, Stephanie, an American woman in diaspora, is exposed to different cultures, experiencing a sense of home in China, a sense of homelessness in both China and America, and a sense of being between worlds. In the process of searching for a home, Stephanie constructs her identity as a Chinese and eventually as a world citizen. The home in the novel is more than just a dwelling place; it is a place signifying cultural identity and a meaningful space that influences the identity transformation of a diasporic woman. The article therefore uses a textual analysis approach to explore how homes are represented and how a diasporic woman’s identity is affected by the home landscape she experiences in Till Morning Comes. This novel’s exploration of home illuminates the unique experience of a diasporic woman, highlighting the importance of re-evaluating Han’s work within the framework of contemporary cultural geography.
