The fourth estate and values. Deon.pl portal in search of quality journalism

RESEARCH OBJECTIVE: The research objective of this paper is to analyze the profile and selected content of the Catholic portal deon.pl in the context of quality journalism.
 THE RESEARCH PROBLEMS AND METHODS: The main research problem is to determine the facts related to the genesis, profile and content of the messages of one of the most popular Catholic portals in Poland.
 THE PROCESS OF ARGUMENTATION: The first part of the paper reviews the literature in the field of broadly defined criteria of quality journalism. Then, the profile of the deon.pl portal was presented, and in the following sections, the analysis of the content of the Deon FB profile and the deon.pl portal.
 RESEARCH RESULTS: All these materials were analyzed according to their subject matter, the nature of the message, the number of likes, political overtones and the program line of the portal. The titles of the deon.pl Facebook account reflect two thematic lines: the theme of the war in Ukraine and the theme of preparations for Easter. At deon.pl, an analysis of the texts in the tabs of the information and opinion sections was carried out.
 CONCLUSIONS, INNOVATIONS, AND RECOMMENDATIONS: Quality journalism is on the one hand “journalism of values” and on the other “professional journalism”. Manifestations of such journalism are visible in deon.pl. The Jesuit portal should be considered a manifestation of journalistic quality in Poland due to the clear values professed, and at the same time, transmitted by the editorial staff, as well as professionalism of work in accordance with accepted journalistic rules and high ethical standards, visible in the unambiguous separation of information from opinion. Deon.pl is an example of a Catholic portal with a successful attempt to combine tradition and journalistic news against the fake news tendencies.

Izdzīvošanas spēks un dzīves vērtības Liepājas Universitātes folkloras arhīva dzīvesstāstos

The folklore materials of the Liepāja University record many life stories of various Latvian narrators. Some of them are more extensive and cover the people’s ability to survive during difficult periods of history. The purpose of the article is to systematize and analyze the main values depicted in the life stories available in the Liepāja folklore archive. These values helped people survive during the changing times of the 20th century and helped them overcome difficult life situations. The article explores stories of personal experiences which indicate an event experienced by the narrator, as well as life stories that talk about the narrator’s life in general. In addition to life stories, the article also analyzes the folklore materials included by the narrators and their included explanations. The study provided a deeper understanding of the narrators’ outlook on life and their value system. In order to locate the topic in the context of folkloristic theory, the author has used the guidelines developed by several recognized researchers in the studies of personal narratives. The life values depicted in the narrated stories recorded in the folklore materials are arranged according to their thematic lines. These are values related to human character and virtues, attitude to life, emotional balance, physical and mental health. The life stories and personal accounts indicate the main values discussed by narrators during the period. Among these are values nurtured in the family – like virtues of work, patience and perseverance, positive outlook to life and inner strength, values on interpersonal relationships – like optimism, gratitude and helpfulness, kindness, love and trust in nature and natural order. Along with these, values of joy, singing and celebrating are also mentioned – as they restore strength and create a balance between work and relaxation. Overall, it is clear that the values and virtues mentioned in the classical folklore sources have been very important in surviving the changing times of the 20th-century Latvian territory.

Regional development and its impact on mexican society

Addressing the challenge of regional development in Mexico, a priority for authorities and society requires a holistic integration of economic and social policies geared towards sustainability. This research focused on deliberating about the impact of regional development on Mexican culture, adopting a qualitative paradigm, and conducting an exploratory study through a robust documentary review guided by a scientometric analysis. Databases such as Google Scholar and ScienceDirect were accessed without language restrictions, using descriptors like 'regional development,' 'Mexican society,' 'impact of regional development,' 'regional problems', and 'regional inequalities', covering the period from 2000 to 2022. The thematic lines identified in the research on regional development in Mexico emphasize the consolidation of public and social policies, the identification of regional problems with a particular focus on vulnerable groups and poverty in Latin America, and propose solutions to social inequalities through collective action and the promotion of local development

Poetics of Book “Journey of Russian Imperial Sloop “Diana” from Kronstadt to Kamchatka ...” by V. M. Golovnin: Features of Documentary and Fiction Prose

Observations are presented on the features of the documentary and artistic organization of the book by V. M. Golovnin “Journey of Russian Imperial Sloop “Diana” from Kronstadt to Kamchatka...” (1819). Such issues as the thematic content of “Journey...”, the role of the author’s worldview in creating a single artistic whole, and the features of the aesthetic organization of documentary material are considered. The significance of the study is seen in the need to update the memory of the personality and literary work of V. M. Golovnin, an outstanding figure of Russian culture at the beginning of the 19th century. The presented material will allow supplementing with new facts the picture of the genre and style genesis of documentary and artistic genres in the Russian historical and literary process of the early 19th century. The relevance of the study is determined by the attention of modern literary criticism to the poetics of documentary and artistic genres. The novelty of the research is seen in the appeal to a little-known work of Russian literature of the first third of the 19th century. It is reported that the author showed the maritime way of life with its regulations, traditions, experience of intercultural communication. The work is considered in the main thematic lines: everyday life of a round-the-world sea expedition, seascape, battle studies, ethnographic sketches. It is noted that a value-semantic principle is revealed behind the empirical material, which gives the narrative artistic completeness and deeply brings Golovnin's “Journey ...” with the tradition of Russian classical literature.

ТРИ ПОКОЛЕНИЯ В ИСТОРИОГРАФИЧЕСКОМ ОСМЫСЛЕНИИ РОССИЙСКОГО ЦЕРКОВНО-ПОЛИТИЧЕСКОГО ПРИСУТСТВИЯ В СВЯТОЙ ЗЕМЛЕ, КОНЕЦ XIX-XXI ВВ.

The article analyzes the historiographical situation in the field of the study of the Holy Land (Palestine) and the Russian cultural, religious and political presence in the region. It traces the dynamics of the study of the Holy Land in the context of Russian politics in the region is traced, from the experiences of self-determination in the middle – second half of the 19th century to the present. The specificity of the region is associated with the saturation of its religious, value and cultural meanings. Neither its remoteness nor other factors became an obstacle to the realization and historical understanding of the special Christian kinship of the Russian consciousness with the locos of the Holy Land. Its study got to be one of the significant directions of the national humanitarian thought in the late 19th – early 20th centuries. The analysis of the key works, plot and thematic lines in historiography revealed three generations in the study of the Holy Land associated with certain epochs in the history of Russia and the history of international (church-diplomatic) relations. The imperial period was characterized by a powerful popularization vector, the first experiments in the field of Christian archeology of the region. The post-Soviet return to the study of the region was characterized by attention to the study of the structures and institutions of the Russian presence in the region (the Russian Spiritual Mission, the Imperial Orthodox Palestinian Society). The modern generation of researchers is characterized by an interest in studying the realities of modern history, the objectification of the church-diplomatic factor in international relations of the post-war world.

Los textismos y la norma digital: Una revisión sistemática

The aim of this article is to find out what scientific production exists on digital communication and the use of textisms between 2009 and 2022, which will allow us to identify which are the lines of research most worked on in this field, as well as to find the current state of the question. To this end, the systematic review methodology PRISMA (2021) has been used. After conducting the search and applying the exclusion criteria, a total of 62 articles were finally obtained from two databases: Web of Science and Scopus, after which the results were analysed. First, a quantitative analysis was carried out to find out how the published works were distributed in the selected years, in which journals they appeared the most frequently and to which countries and universities the authors with the most publications on the subject belonged. Second, a qualitative analysis has been carried out on the thematic lines they deal with and possible future lines of research. The results show a great disparity between the different articles, especially those dealing with the relationship between literacy and the use of textisms, which in turn show discrepancies in their conclusions on the relationship between the two variables.

PUBLIC DISCOURSE IN THE EUROPEAN NEIGHBOUR STATES OF UKRAINE CONCERNING THE RUSSIAN INVASION

The war significantly affected Ukraine's, European and the world's political, security, economic, and social resilience and caused regular increases in information aimed at creating perceptions of a pseudo-escalation of the situation, strengthening panic ideas and national discontent. The public discourses in the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Romania, Poland, and Hungary are characterized by different views on the Russian invasion of Ukraine: discreet, mostly neutral discussions take place in the Czech Republic, Slovakia, and Romania; discussions involving all communication channels are observed in Poland; mainly destructive criticism promoted by users on social media is noted in Hungary. The paper examines the thematic lines of discussions and their sentiments with an emphasis on the negative attitudes; the context of formed narratives; the interests of authors who write on the researched subject; the platforms and countries where discussions take place and their focus. In general, two trends could be distinguished in the creation of negative narratives about the war against Ukraine: the first is aimed at creating ideas of public despair towards the possibilities of social protection, and the second trend focuses on drawing parallels between historical and actual events with the addition of false historical facts. Keywords: war, invasion, refugees, sanctions, EU, Ukraine, Poland, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary, Romania.

GENDER INEQUALITY IN BURNS’ MILKMAN: A MARXIST FEMINIST STUDY

This research investigates gender inequality in Anna Burns' novel Milkman. Burns' novel is depiction of the ways in which women are exploited through capitalism. It highlights the role of powerful institutions and absence of women in those power structures that ultimately makes women the slaves of patriarchs. The novel also explores the ways in which women are exploited, controlled and crushed by political and institutional power. This study discusses the debates surrounding Marxist feminism and the ways in which Marxist feminism can be mobilized as an analytical tool to engage women centric novels such as Anna Burns's Milkman along the thematic lines of objectification, commodification, capitalism, institutionalized patriarchy, the panopticon, and gender inequality. This study develops a hermeneutical Marxist feminism to evaluate the thematic concerns in Anna Burns' Milkman. In doing so, this research reveals how this novel based on gendered oppression and violence dramatizes and expands the core aspects of objectification and dehumanization developed by both Marxism and feminism. This study is indebted to Engle's conceptualization of economic independence in Marxism as it interprets gender inequality in the context of capitalism. This study situates Marxist feminism as a critical reading approach to understand gender-based oppression and inequality and proposes an anti-capitalist future for women's empowerment. Keywords: Gender inequality, Marxist Feminism, Patriarchy, Power Structures, Gender based violence, Capitalism

ΜΑΙΡΗ ΜΙΚΕ, Τα δάκρυα της πέτρας. Λογοτεχνικές αναπλάσεις του μύθου της Νιόβης

The tears of stone. Literary transformations of the myth of Niobe The aim of this essay is the study of recreations and transformations of the myth of Niobe and Niobidae in modern Greek literary texts of the end of 19th and 20th centuries. The research of the sources place the poetry in one primary position: a lot of poets (e.g. Palamas, Markoras, Varnalis, Ritsos) and one novelist (T. Athanasiadis) recreate the basic thematic lines of the myth and insist on divisions between life and death, loss and revengeful mania, deadening figure and living impetuous emotion or even more to redemptive petrifaction. As the metamorphoses of the myth of Niobe, at least the most of them, are revolved round the maternal grief and the plea, the focus and the insistence on human insult are cancelled. Niobe - and the poet who suffers along with her – as is not arrogant but just sorrowful, is able, for example, to transform her accumulated grief into love, to search in existential surroundings the revival through the erotic desire or/and thematize the power of art for the achievement of her presence in the long duration of time. From this aspect, a signifying displacement is noticed: by projecting a distressed human existence the divine presence is confined only indirectly, that is from the consequences of the relentless punishment.

ДЕЯКІ АСПЕКТИ МОВНОГО ВТІЛЕННЯ ТЕКСТОВИХ КОНЦЕПТІВ

The article is devoted to the analysis of the leading concepts of the New Testament («Jesus Christ», «faith», «salvation», «sin»), and finding out the means of their forming. The concepts under study appear as multidimensional text formations, complex structural units with large sets of verbalizers, organized by associative and semantic fields. Such conceptual activity of language tools in the creation of conceptual structures is due to the fact that these concepts play an important structural role in revealing the meaning of the text, its important communicative tasks, objectify the main thematic lines, the most important semantic dominants associated with the leading biblical ideas created by the context of the whole. The study of the conceptual fields composition through the clarification of lexicalsemantic and syntactic means of their deployment allows us to reveal the content of the studied concepts, presenting them as multidimensional formations formed by interrelated components that nominate them. Concepts empirically generalize the contexts in which they appear, forming a coherent and structured content space organized by conceptual fields. An important part of the textual concepts study is the analysis of speech phenomena involved in their creation. Language explication of conceptual formations occurs largely at the paradigmatic level, which is a set of identical units, — through the means of synonymy (general, contextual and conditional synonyms) and derivation. Representing objects in a voluminous and diverse way, synonymous and derivational tools develop concepts, giving them a fairly comprehensive description. A significant activity of language tools aimed at creating leading text concepts, at forming the richness and diversity of their interpretive fields, indicates the fact that such concepts are associated with the most communicatively significant text parameters, the study of which opens up opportunities for text interpretation, its essential characteristics identification, leading themes and ideas reproducing.

Against Popery: Britain, Empire, and Anti-Catholicism ed. by Evan Haefeli

Reviewed by: Against Popery: Britain, Empire, and Anti-Catholicism ed. by Evan Haefeli Mitchell Oxford Against Popery: Britain, Empire, and Anti-Catholicism EDITED BY EVAN HAEFELI Early American Histories. Charlottesville and London: University of Virginia Press, 2020. xvi + 342 pages. Cloth: $39.50. ISBN: 9780813944913. The ideology of anti-popery, as Evan Haefeli rightly observes in the introductory essay to this superb edited volume, was a “pervasive Anglo-American tradition,” which should be distinguished from straightforward anti-Catholic bigotry by its fusion of “hostility to the religious and political example of the Roman Catholic papacy” (12). As such, anti-popery was “inseparable from British and American understandings of liberty and slavery,” he explains, “justifying the hegemony of Protestants on both sides of the Atlantic up through the American Revolution” (3). As Haefeli notes, despite anti-popery’s well-recognized scope and significance, this extensively studied phenomenon is surprisingly “fragmented” along geographical, temporal, and thematic lines (18). Through this excellent collection of essays, Haefeli brings together the rich—yet constellated—scholarship on the varieties of British anti-popery, providing a fuller portrait of this complex phenomenon. Against Popery is thus not only valuable to historians of religion, politics, and culture in the early modern Atlantic, it is also a usefully comprehensive single-volume resource for scholars of the similarly robust—though substantially different—anti-Catholicism of John Henry Newman’s late nineteenth century. Haefeli’s most conspicuous achievement is to bring the sprawling scholarship on early modern anti-Catholicism under one roof. Comprising contributions from twelve scholars (as well as two chapters authored by Haefeli himself), this volume embraces considerable breadth. Its authors lead us on several excursions out from Britain’s imperial metropole to Post-Reformation Scotland, early colonial Virginia, and to the transatlantic “anti-Irish anti-Catholicism” that shaped Britain’s American colonial project (125). But Against Popery does more than that. Its division into three sections, “Foundations,” “Hegemony,” and “Transformations,” which span from the sixteenth to the early nineteenth century, imparts a unifying coherence—an overarching argument about the emergence, entrenchment, and evolution of this pervasive and pliable ideology—across the volume’s impressive array of topics, times, and places. Indeed, rather than simply an omnibus of the familiar, these essays trod much new interpretive ground as well. Several highlight new sources and methods, such as Laura M. Stevens’s fascinating exploration of the competing evocations of the Virgin Mary by eighteenth-century British Protestants who at once portrayed her as the epitome of “Catholic idolatry and monstrous femininity,” and a “Protestant [End Page 103] exemplar . . . of godly attributes,” (200) or Clare Haynes’s similar study of the “dualistic approach” Anglo-Americans took to “popish art”: they admired its beauty while “denying its ultimate truth” (228). Others offer new perspectives on old questions, like Cynthia van Zandt’s compelling account of how the shocking (and murky) “gunpowder plot” of 1605 “wove anti-popery into the culture of English America,” and to the colony of Virginia in particular—despite the Old Dominion’s longstanding reputation as “hot Protestant” New England’s comparably cooler counterpart. Or Brendan McConville’s “A Deal with the Devil,” which makes a persuasive case—against prevailing historiographic currents—that “anti-popish or Francophobic fears” were a central “driving force” of the American Revolution (287). McConville’s essay is also a lynchpin in Against Popery’s interpretive arc from “hegemony” to “transformation.” Anglo-Protestant anti-popery in Revolutionary America was not a “fixed . . . political-ideological position,” and Patriot leaders applied these powerful political ideas against the British Crown and Parliament, thereby opening space for an alliance with Catholic France (288). Peter Walker’s subsequent chapter traces the contemporaneous “transformation” of the politics of anti-popery in the imperial metropole. In Britain, he contends, that both Catholics and dissenting Protestants gained rights in the early nineteenth century “not because religious prejudice had disappeared,” but because the “languages of anti-popery and anti-puritanism were . . . refashioned as arguments for toleration” (316). As should be clear, Against Popery offers more than an updated accounting of the varieties of British anti-Catholicism. Indeed, an unmistakable thematic thread can be followed across its multiplicity of authorial voices. As Haefeli succinctly puts...

Virtue, Piety and the Law: A Study of Birgivī Meḥmed Efendī’s al-Ṭarīqa al-Muḥammadiyya By Katharina Anna Ivanyi

Birgivi Mehmed Efendi (d. 981/1573) ranks among the most prolific and controversial scholars of early modern Ottoman history. However, despite his significance, especially for the Muslim revivalist tradition, we have seen very little scholarly interest in his life and work in Western academia, and certainly no dedicated studies in the English language. That is until now. Katharina Ivanyi’s examination of Birgivi’s monumental al-Tariqa al-Muhammadiyya (TM) marks what I hope will be a reversal of the status quo. This meticulous study (volume 72 of Brill’s ‘The Ottoman Empire and its Heritage’ series) departs from the typical historical/historiographical approach in Ottoman studies and adopts instead careful textual excavation and exploration along thematic lines. Along the way, Ivanyi engages with an impressive range of primary and secondary scholarship in several languages, including Ottoman, modern Turkish, Arabic, French, German and Bosnian. The end product is an engaging monograph replete with original insights. Neatly spread over five chapters, with extensive footnotes throughout, the book begins with a survey of Birgivi’s life, scholarly oeuvre and historical epoch, then examines the intellectual framework of TM, before presenting its close textual study of the TM in the final three chapters. The first of these (ch. 3) provides an overview of the structure and contents of TM, the second (ch. 4) addresses a key strand in the text, namely sincerity, and the last (ch. 5) explores issues related to the Ottoman moral economy, including Birgivi’s position on cash waqfs. Through her close analysis of TM, Ivanyi sheds light on Birgivi’s thought as it relates to practical ethics, exhortation and advice. Her most significant finding is that Birgivi’s project of individual and societal reform was premised on an uncompromising rigidity of approach that led to inevitable clashes with powerful members of the Ottoman state, not least Ebu’s-Sucud Efendi, Shaykh al-Islam of the realm from 952–82/1545–74.

Plastic and Visual Education in 2021: State of the Art Through the Web of Science

Research in plastic and visual education covers a wide variety of topics and problems of inquiry. My objective was to identify and analyze the research in this discipline from the past decade on Web of Science; to describe the significant scientific production; and to detect thematic lines, approaches, and models. A mixed method was applied, involving network analysis, scientific mapping, the visualization of similarities, and visual analysis techniques in a structured four-phase design. The analyses allowed me to explore the objectives by establishing a map of the state of the field, with four thematic lines, nine approaches, and eight research methodologies. I found an increase in scientific production in the past 3 years, which revealed a focus on the discipline’s traditional issues, such as evaluation and educational processes, an emphasis on the educational approach over the artistic one, and an absence of significant coauthorship networks.

Základné tematické línie teologickej recepcie Kierkegaarda v 20. storočí

The reception of Kierkegaard’s thought in twentieth century theology was extremely varied and complex. One can, however, identify in it thematic lines which originated largely due to the fact that theologians reflected not only on Kierkegaard’s primary work but also on its secondary reception in their contemporaries and predecessors. The repeated emphasis on certain moments of Kierkegaard’s thought led to the emergence of an intellectual continuity within the theological reception. I present four basic thematic lines in the article which run through the theological reception in different denominational and linguistic environments. The key motifs of these lines are the image of Kierkegaard as a representative of engaged Christianity, the interpretation of his thought as a corrective of the immanentization of theology, the reception of his concept of the relationship between Christianity and culture, and the discussion of his concept of the single individual. These reception lines contain both positive and negative moments, since Kierkegaard was perceived in an ambivalent way. His thought represented, however, an important source of inspiration for twentieth century theology which used it in its confrontation with the issues of its time.

A humildade nas organizações: um estudo bibliométrico

Abstract Humility is a characteristic little studied in the organizational environment. The interest in research on humility started to gain some representativeness this century. However, literature reviews on humility in management are rare, making it necessary to systematize the relevant knowledge in this field. This research highlights the intellectual structure of the domain, the current studies, and research opportunities associated with humility in organizations. A bibliometric study was carried out from 2000 to 2020, and activity and relationship indicators, such as co-citations and bibliographic coupling, were analyzed. Results show three major thematic lines that make up the intellectual structure of the field: (i) concepts, antecedents, and organizational attributes, (i) methods and scales, and (iii) behavioral issues. This research is organized on four major fronts: (i) expressed humility, (ii) humility and CEOs, (iii) humility and teams, and (iv) humility and organizational behavior. Finally, an agenda for future research is presented, emphasizing the analysis of how expressed humility and humble behavior can be taught and internalized in the organizational culture.

Colloidal nanomaterials for water quality improvement and monitoring.

Water is the most important resource for all kind forms of live. It is a vital resource distributed unequally across different regions of the globe, with populations already living with water scarcity, a situation that is spreading due to the impact of climate change. The reversal of this tendency and the mitigation of its disastrous consequences is a global challenge posed to Humanity, with the scientific community assuming a major obligation for providing solutions based on scientific knowledge. This article reviews literature concerning the development of nanomaterials for water purification technologies, including collaborative scientific research carried out in our laboratory (nanoLAB@UA) framed by the general activities carried out at the CICECO-Aveiro Institute of Materials. Our research carried out in this specific context has been mainly focused on the synthesis and surface chemical modification of nanomaterials, typically of a colloidal nature, as well as on the evaluation of the relevant properties that arise from the envisaged applications of the materials. As such, the research reviewed here has been guided along three thematic lines: 1) magnetic nanosorbents for water treatment technologies, namely by using biocomposites and graphite-like nanoplatelets; 2) nanocomposites for photocatalysis (e.g., TiO2/Fe3O4 and POM supported graphene oxide photocatalysts; photoactive membranes) and 3) nanostructured substrates for contaminant detection using surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS), namely polymers loaded with Ag/Au colloids and magneto-plasmonic nanostructures. This research is motivated by the firm believe that these nanomaterials have potential for contributing to the solution of environmental problems and, conversely, will not be part of the problem. Therefore, assessment of the impact of nanoengineered materials on eco-systems is important and research in this area has also been developed by collaborative projects involving experts in nanotoxicity. The above topics are reviewed here by presenting a brief conceptual framework together with illustrative case studies, in some cases with original research results, mainly focusing on the chemistry of the nanomaterials investigated for target applications. Finally, near-future developments in this research area are put in perspective, forecasting realistic solutions for the application of colloidal nanoparticles in water cleaning technologies.

Excerpts on the History of Ministry of Economy and Forecasting of the USSR in 1991: The Last Year of the Empire

The collapse of the USSR became an epoch-making event in Russian and world history. The commemorative practices of studying the economic history of the late USSR imply using the country's archival heritage as the most important segment of the social memory and the basis for scientific research. The goal of the article is to introduce into scientific use archival materials of the Ministry of Economy and Forecasting of the USSR, stored in the Russian State Archive of the Economy. The Ministry existed from April to December 1991 and was functionally positioned as the successor of the USSR State Planning Committee. The fonds of the Ministry, apart from the traditional organizational and administrative documents, includes a document block of obvious research interest: these are the responses prepared within the Ministry to the instructions of the Cabinet of Ministers of the USSR. This archival material makes it possible to understand the view of the top leadership, represented by the Cabinet of Ministers of the USSR, on the economic situation in the country, its current problems, options for correcting the problem situations that had arisen, the vision of perspective, in this case tactical, in this most difficult period of national history. With a certain degree of convention, it is possible to identify such thematic lines in the documentary array as the preparation and implementation of state programmes, the state of certain sectors of the economy, the activities of specific enterprises, the economic situation in the regions, the issues of import / export of products and technologies, the situation with the currency fund of the country, external lending issues, social themes, elements of a market economy, etc. The paper considers documentary primary sources on the first four subjects.

Bibliometric analysis in English language teaching and learning

The purpose of this paper is the bibliometric analysis of the journals indexed in SciELO in the area of teaching and learning English as a second language. The journals searched were: How, Profile, and Colombian Applied Linguistics Journal. The search for information made it possible to compare different bibliometric indicators. Although it is true that the results of this research show that scientific production in the field is abundant, varied in terms of thematic lines, and collaborative, it is only reported in three journals indexed in SciELO; however, other research that reports on the scientific production on the teaching of English as a second language, all the scientific production published in journals indexed in SciELO is made invisible. Since most of the publications in the journals studied are by Latin American authors, it is evident that in other productions the region's research in the field is being ignored.

Lexical Quantitative Content Analysis in Comparison with Other Methods of Studying the Language of Print Media

The article looks at different analyses of media content. The quantitative content analysis is a necessary first step in the research of any media flow. This type of analysis provides a technique for objectively pointing out themes and thematic lines in a particular medium. Lexical quantitative content analysis is defined as both analyzing and measuring words. It has two distinct paradigms: the leading words method and the keyword method. The text provides definitions for the terms “textual image of the word” and “lingual image of the world”. The methods explore are presented in a way that accommodates their application.

Los escenarios pedagógicos de la dramaturgia de Deyanira Urzúa de Calvo

This article revises the drama production of Deyanira Urzúa de Calvo, a Chilean writer from the early twentieth century. Her avoided figure is fundamental to comprehend the development of the dramatist profession, as well as the thematic and formal lines that characterized the years when Chilean drama was founded, and that continued to be followed beyond the creation of university drama. Part of her large work in historical drama, comedy and plays for children is analyzed. Her work helps to comprehend the development of Chilean drama written by women, and evinces transformation processes, more than Romantic rupture.
