Ljubavni diskurs i žanrovski mehanizmi na primjeru dviju epizoda serije 'Crno zrcalo: San Junipero i Objesite DJ-a'
Full text linkUzevši u obzir paralelan razvoj filmske umjetnosti i psihoanalize, polazište je ovoga rada pretpostavka da ovakva konfiguracija može progovoriti o izvjesnim kulturnim problemima proizašlima iz paradigme (post)moderniteta. Na primjeru dvijuspecifičnih epizoda serije Crno zrcalo –San Junipero i Objesite DJ-a, cilj je rada ostvariti trojaki uvid u međuodnos serije i kulture: prvo, raščlambom mehanizama koji seriju određuju unutar okvira (znanstveno-)fantastičnog, potom analizom ljubavnih diskursa unutar njezinih svjetova, a zatim razradom pojma virtualnosti i implikacijama pojma za svjetove epizoda te društvenu stvarnost. Problematizirat će se prikazivanje fantastičnih mehanizama na ekranu prilikom uvođenja alternativnih svjetova te se ukazati na njihovu poveznicu sa svjetovima nesvjesnog kroz analizu ljubavi kao komunikacijskog koda dviju epizoda. Na kraju, cilj je rada ukazati i na izvjesne društvene posljedice konfiguriranja ljubavi na način na koji je ono prisutno u ovim dvjema epizodama te tako potvrditi odnos fantastičnog i mimetičkog kao fenomen koji nam može pomoći razumjeti umjetničke tvorevine i njihov uzajaman odnos sa življenom kulturo
Competence of Croatian pre- and in- service teachers of foreign languages in teaching students with dyslexia
Full text linkDisleksija u užem smislu riječi obuhvaća teškoće u ovladavanju čitanjem i pisanjem.
Jedna je od najčešćih teškoća u učenju. Engleski se kao strani jezik u hrvatskim osnovnim
školama uči od prvog razreda. Zbog razlika u ortografiji engleskoga i hrvatskoga jezika,
temeljenih na vezama glasa i slova, učitelji engleskoga kao stranoga (ESJ) jezika nerijetko prvi
mogu uočiti teškoće učenika s disleksijom. Disleksija se kao zasebna tema ne obrađuje tijekom
formalnog obrazovanja učitelja ESJ, a nalazi dosadašnjih istraživanja ukazuju na nedovoljnu
obučenost učitelja stranih jezika za poučavanje učenika s disleksijom. Cilj je istraživanja
opisanog u ovom radu istražiti kompetencije učitelja ESJ, apsolvenata Učiteljskog fakulteta u
Zagrebu i apsolvenata Filozofskog fakulteta u Zagrebu i Osijeku za poučavanje učenika s
disleksijom te utvrditi odrednice njihove upoznatosti s prikladnim metodama poučavanja.
Statističkom obradom podataka utvrđeno je da sudionici nemaju potpune spoznaje o općim
značajkama disleksije i imaju umjereno pozitivne stavove prema prilagodbama u metodama
poučavanja učenika s disleksijom. Nadalje, utvrđeno je da studijski programi Sveučilišta u
Osijeku i Zagrebu, kao ni programi stručnog usavršavanja učitelja, ne nude dovoljno sadržaja
vezanih uz poučavanje učenika s disleksijom. Istraživanje je provedeno na ukupno 88
apsolvenata i 118 učitelja ESJ tijekom 2015. godine.The most widely accepted theory of the cause of dyslexia is the one that explains dyslexia
as cognitive difficulties. According to this theory
dyslexia is manifested as difficulties in recognizing and processing of voices and syllables which
then affects the acquisition of a language. Reading and writing are complex cognitive activities
which include decoding and understanding a language through phonological awareness.
Although measuring phonological awareness was confirmed to be the most efficient way of
predicting future difficulties in acquiring language skills, there is no universal test which could
be applied to speakers of different languages. Croatian language is a very transparent one due to its shallow orthography, meaning its
phoneme-grapheme relationship is mainly unambiguous. English language, on the other hand,
has a very deep orthography with very complex phoneme-grapheme relationship. Dyslexia is in Croatian legislation acts considered as a special education need or
developmental difficulty but it is not specifically addressed in any of the educational rulebooks. It is safe to conclude that EFL teachers in Croatia lack opportunities for developing
holistic competence to teach students with dyslexia due to limited number of relevant mandatory
courses during their post secondary education as well as relevant seminars and workshops during
their professional development. The direct consequence of such teacher training system is the
lack of positive attitudes towards implementing adjusted teaching methods and techniques which
benefit students with dyslexia striving to successfully complete their primary school education.
There is also an issue of differences between teacher training courses of post secondary
institutions which also have a negative impact on the competences of future EFL teachers and an
issue of teachers’ motivation to further enrich their knowledge of dyslexia-friendly practice in
teaching. Some of the subgroups consisted of a moderately low number of participants, therefore
the conclusions based on the findings of this research might need to be confirmed on a larger
number of participants. The findings of this research may be used as a ground point in
discovering which areas of teacher training program and professional development opportunities
might be improved
Konzeptuelle Metaphern in der Textsorte Horoskop: Anwendung im DaF-Unterricht
Full text linkKonzeptuelle Metaphern sind ein wesentlicher Teil der Sprache und des Spracherwerbs. Sie kommen in vielen Aspekten des Lebens vor und werden meistens unbewusst verstanden, kreativ produziert und benutzt. Genau deswegen ist es wichtig, konzeptuelle Metaphern im Prozess des Sprachlernens und -lehrens nicht zu vernachlässigen. Diese Arbeit befasst sich mit dem Thema der konzeptuellen Metaphern und ihrer Anwendung im DaF-Unterricht mithilfe von Horoskoptexten, mit besonderem Schwerpunkt auf dem DaF-Unterricht im kroatischen Schulsystem
Liberalism and republicanism: Locke's and Rousseau's understanding of the political community
Full text linkU ovome doktorskom radu nastojalo se precizno odrediti pojmove liberalizam i
republikanizam te navedenim filozofsko-političkim koncepcijama pristupiti iz gledišta
povijesne rekonstrukcije filozofija politike Johna Lockea i Jean-Jacquesa Rousseaua.
Metodom refleksivne ravnoteže, utvrđuje se Lockeov i Rousseauov doprinos u poimanju
moderne političke kulture te njihov utjecaj na institucionalna ustrojstva moderne političke
zajednice.
Istraživanje u doktorskome radu zasnovano je na ideji da se znanstveno istraži i
potvrdi presudna uloga spomenutih filozofa u novovjekovnoj filozofiji politike. Istraživanje je
u disertaciji podijeljeno na četiri cjeline. Prva cjelina doktorskog rada razmatra povijesne
čimbenike koji su utjecali na stvaranje filozofsko-političke misli Lockea i Rousseaua. Druga
cjelina temelji se na samostalnoj i detaljnoj interpretaciji ključnih filozofskih ideja koje su
obilježile filozofsko-političku misao Johna Lockea i njegovo razumijevanje političke
zajednice. Treći dio rada orijentiran je na filozofsko-političku misao Jean-Jacques Rousseaua
i njegovu specifičnu ideju političke zajednice. U doktorskom radu, kroz sve tri tematske
cjeline koje čine osnovicu disertacije, argumentacijskim postupcima objašnjava se i
ustanovljava širina njihovog filozofskog utjecaja na filozofsko-političke koncepcije
liberalizma i modernog republikanizma. Nadalje, u radu se analiziraju ideje Lockea i
Rousseaua glede nastanka i načina funkcioniranja političke zajednice koja je stvorena voljom
pojedinaca; odnosno ispituje se kako spomenuti mislioci pristupaju ideji stvaranja i
konstituiranja političke zajednice te na koje vrste problema autori nailaze.
Disertacija završava usporednom analizom filozofije politike Johna Lockea i JeanJacquesa Rousseaua. U toj četvrtoj i završnoj cjelini doktorskog rada određuje se Lockeovo i Rousseauovo razumijevanje političke zajednice u svjetlu narušene ravnoteže između liberalnog i demokratsko republikanskog elementa u suvremenom poimanju politike.The dissertation based on a critical analysis and a comparative method tried to
establish the concepts of liberalism and republicanism and to approach the mentioned
philosophical and political concepts from the point of view of the historical reconstruction of
John Locke's and Jean Jacques Rousseau’s political philosophy. Using the reflexive
equilibrium method it has been confirmed that Locke and Rousseau contributed to the concept
of modern political culture and influenced the institutional structure of modern political
community. The thesis is divided into four larger parts and every part consists of a series of
related chapters and subchapters. In the first part of the doctoral thesis: Political, social and
historical circumstances of John Locke's and Jean-Jacques Rousseau's political philosophy
there are six chapters. The first chapter: Historical factors and historical context of the
creation of liberalism establishes historical circumstances that influenced the creation of the
political philosophy concept of liberalism. Based on the studied literature this chapter
analyzes historical events in the seventeenth-century England which created social and
political tensions and determined the frames of Locke's political philosophy. The main
intention in this chapter is to present political struggles between the king and the parliament,
the royalists and the Whigs, which influenced the articulation of the problem of a limited
government and the creation of liberalism. English king Charles II had Patriarcha reprinted,
Sir Robert Filmer's old work, which advocates the monarch’s divine right to power. The
second chapter of the dissertation titled: The beginnings of the philosophical conception of
liberalism elaborates Locke's argumentation that questions Filmer's work Patriarcha.
Namely, in 1689 John Locke anonymously published his work Two Treatises of Government
in which he advocates the principle of limited authority based on individual natural rights and
in which he shaped the idea of protoliberalism. The following chapter The features of
liberalism as a philosophical and political ideology examines and analyzes in details the
fundamental characteristics of liberalism as a philosophical and political ideology. This
chapter elaborates in detail the four essential characteristics of liberalism. These are
individualism, egalitarianism, universalism and meliorism. The remaining three chapters of
the first part of the doctoral thesis point to historical circumstances and the emergence of
modern-age republicanism as a political philosophy concept. In this sense chapter four is
titled: Historical context of the emergence of modern- age republicanism. This chapter
discusses the activities of Louis XIV, Louis XV, and Louis XVI, French kings who ruled arbitrarily in an absolute monarchy thus contributing to the causes of the French Revolution.
In this upsetting and restless period of French history Jean-Jacques Rousseau, as an
enlightener, but also a critic of the Enlightenment and a philosopher, tried to influence public
opinion, in particular through his works Discourse on the Origin and Basis of Inequality
Among Men and The Social Contract. The fifth chapter of the first part titled Republicanism
as a political philosophy concept analyzes the emergence and origins of the idea of modernage republicanism as a political philosophy concept. This chapter analyzes supporting ideas of
modern-age republicanism, such as: political virtue, the principle of equality and freedom of
all members of the political community, the values of self-determination and the importance
of common good for the stability and improvement of the political community. The last
chapter of the first part is titled: The characteristics of republicanism in modern political
philosophy. This chapter describes the republican concept more accurately and emphasizes
the awareness of individuals especially in their need of a brave civic life and political virtues
aimed at the political participation of individuals.
The main preoccupation of the second part of the doctoral thesis is a detailed
elaboration of Locke's understanding of the political community. This part consists of four
chapters and five subchapters. The first chapter: John Locke and the seventeenth century
historical upheavals analyzes the impact of Locke's Second Treatise on Government on
liberalism and discusses historical circumstances that enabled the establishment of that
concept. The second chapter is Locke's protoliberal philosophy of politics and it deals with the
foundations of Locke's doctrine, limited authority and recognition of individual rights of each
person, later referred to as the doctrine of liberalism. The third chapter is Natural and political
situation in John Locke's political philosophy and it includes a subchapter Locke's
understanding of ownership and realization of ownership rights in natural condition. As can
be seen from the title, the third chapter and the subchapter refer to the essential elements of
Locke's philosophy of politics and crucial points that make Locke's philosophy of politics
protoliberal. Namely, this chapter discusses Locke's idea of the natural and political situation
and Locke's understanding of ownership as a natural right. Locke claims that the role of the
state is to preserve property, which in the narrower sense represents the acknowledged
properties and in a broader sense it encompasses life, liberty and the possessions of citizens.
The fourth chapter The political community in Locke's political philosophy includes four
subchapters that further elaborate Locke's understanding of the political community and his
influence on the political philosophy concept of liberalism. Thus, in the first subchapter the
focus is placed on the way of constituting the political community, while the discourse of the second subchapter refers to Locke's principle of limited authority and the idea of shareholder
sovereignty according to which only those individuals who have confirmed property are
entitled to political participation. The third subchapter is about the right of the political
community to resist arbitrary and rebellious rulers. If rulers do not rule according to\ud
established laws, they themselves become rebels against established laws and the political
community has the legitimate right to overthrow such rulers who do not rule according to the
common interest of the community. The last subchapter of the fourth chapter in the second
part of the doctoral thesis analyzes the concept of justified war in Locke's Second Treatise on
Government. Locke's concept of justified war, in addition to its main aim against the
rebellious ruler, is used to justify colonial conquests and the right of conquerors to conquered
areas that resisted the conqueror. This chapter completes the second part of the dissertation,
and it is followed by the third part in which the main theme is Rousseau's understanding of
the political community. The third part consists of seven chapters, without subchapters, and
focuses on Rousseau's philosophy of politics, namely on studying his works, firstly Discourse
on the Origin and Basis of Inequality Among Men, then The Social Contract and finally
Discourse on Political Economy. The first chapter discusses historical conditions of
Rousseau's philosophy and elaborates historical factors that influenced the creation of
Rousseau's philosophy of politics. The title of the second chapter is Rousseau's two kinds of
inequality and this chapter describes Rousseau's two types of inequality among people:
physical as well as moral and political inequalities.
The third chapter deals with the relation between private property and civilization, and
discusses Rousseau's understanding of property which enables civilization and which at the
same time gains its recognition only in civilization and civil society. The fourth chapter refers
to Rousseau's understanding of the state. According to Rousseau, the state has the form of a
substantive good, because only in the state a man achieves rightful freedom and mutual
recognition. The fifth chapter is Freedom and self-legislation of a man, and Rousseau
considers the issue of freedom within the framework of citizen autonomy. It is particularly
emphasized that for Rousseau freedom in the state is inseparable from equality of people. The
sixth chapter discusses Rousseau's democratic affirmation of individual freedom. Rousseau
wants to affirm individual freedom united with the unique moral and political body of the
people, namely the people's or folk sovereignty. The last chapter of the third part of the
doctoral dissertation is The role of a sovereign in the discourse of political economy. This
chapter presents Rousseau's Discourse of Political Economy, in which Rousseau in a rudimentary form indicated sovereign’s role and the idea of common will in the political
community.
The fourth and final part concisely depicts Locke’s and Rousseau’s fundamental ideas
of political philosophy, which marked their understanding of the political community. The
research plan in the doctoral thesis is based on critical comparison between Locke’s and
Rousseau’s political philosophy and the basis of the research rests on the original creative
interpretation of Locke’s and Rousseau’s works on political philosophy. The methodology in
the dissertation is directed to the argumentative and critical approach to explanations of
scientific assumptions that consider Locke and Rousseau proponents of political philosophy
concept of liberalism and republicanism. Finally, the dissertation presents essential ideas
which Locke and Rousseau agree or disagree with and which affect modern and contemporary
political culture

A Sociolinguistic Study of Visually Impaired Students of English in Croatia
Full text linkVision plays an important role in learning in general, which is why many believe that visually impaired learners (VILs) cannot be successful in acquiring a foreign language. It is not uncommon that the VILs themselves feel this way, too, which is why the purpose of this research was to look into how VILs perceive themselves as students of English as an L2. The subjects of this case study were 3 partially sighted and 2 blind high school students enrolled at the Vinko Bek Centre for Education and Rehabilitation of the Visually Impaired. By using the methods of participant and non-participant observation and sociolinguistic interview, this paper examines how family as a social factor in SLA, social and educational settings in which the VI students grow up and psycholinguistic factors such as aptitude, motivation, learned helplessness and coping mechanisms affect their self-perception and success. The study confirms the initial hypothesis that family members, the VILs’ social background and the environment in which they grow up affect their attitudes towards language learning and their success. It also underlines the importance of the psycholinguistic factors in the self-evaluation of the subjects and offers some implications for teachers working with VILs in mainstream schools
In Other Words: Language, Gender and Female Voice in Tomson Highway’s Kiss of the Fur Queen
No full textThis paper analyzes Tomson Highway’s Kiss of the Fur Queen. From the viewpoint of language wider ideological effects are discussed with an emphasis on the idea that Cree language has no gender. The first chapter shows how English language and worldview are intertwined with Cree perspective. Although Cree language is represented as humorous, it cannot be the language in which to voice post-colonial struggles. English becomes the language of resistance because Native Cree language and customs were erased by the colonial power. The term post-colonial is understood as a relationship between First Nations Cree and Canadian center. In the preface and at several points in the novel it is stated that First Nations Cree has no gender. The analysis attempts to uncover the wider significance of the genderlessness of Cree language (and perspective) using terms such as hybridity, abrogation, appropriation and gender performativity. The paper shows that the novel does not favor either side in the colonial opposition but argues for hybridity. The English perspective in the novel is shown to be intertwined with patriarchal modes of behavior.
The idea of no gender is further developed in Gabriel, one of the characters in the novel. It is argued that he tries to live a life more in tune with Cree perspective. As a gay Native man, he struggles to live an ordinary life within a patriarchal and racist society. He, along with his brother Jeremiah, tries to subvert the dominant heterosexuality — Jeremiah as asexual who is haunted by images of violence committed against First Nations women and Gabriel as gay and two-spirited person. The analysis of the character of Gabriel uses Judith Butler’s theory on gender as performance and the notion of two-spirit – a unique First Nations idea that transcends the dyad of male versus female.
The final chapter focuses on the representation of femininity. The society as represented from Cree perspective, under the influence of colonialism and Christianity, is burdened with masculine power that marginalizes female voice. Female characters are shown to exist on the margin. However, female voices are not completely silenced. Moreover, Cree worldview, mythology and way of life are permeated with images of female power
Stavovi prema učenju stranih jezika u školama
Full text linkThe increasing need for multilingualism in the recent decades has brought language learning
and teaching into focus, both on the national level, where governments need to ensure quality
foreign language education for their citizens, and on personal level, with an increasing number
of individuals being required to speak more than one language. It is not surprising, then, to
find more and more individuals interested in foreign language learning, which is increasingly
introduced in early childhood. When it comes to early foreign language learning, it is the
parents who choose the target language(s) their child is going to learn, their number and
succession. These decisions depend on a number of factors, some of them being the attitudes
of parents towards foreign language learning in general, towards the target language and its
speakers. It is obvious that the attitudinal aspect of foreign language learning is of great
importance, particularly when it comes to the role of parental attitudes in their child’s second
language learning.
The main goal of this thesis is to elicit the attitudes of parents or potential parents towards
bilingualism and foreign language learning in general, towards early foreign language learning,
towards speakers/learners of foreign languages and towards foreign language learning in
Croatian primary schools. Furthermore, the thesis aims to analyse the beliefs of the
participants in relation to contemporary scientific findings in the field of bilingualism.
The second part of the thesis is dedicated to presenting theoretical explanations related to
the focus of the thesis, as well as the conclusions of researchers concerned with (early) foreign
language learning, which serve as a theoretical framework for the present study.
The third part of the thesis involves the research study, which was conducted in the form of a
questionnaire completed by the participants. The results of the study are first analysed
quantitatively and then further discussed and contrasted with the findings of modern
research. The thesis ends with a conclusion, in which the main points of the study are
summarised
Learning Motivation and Attitudes of ESP University Students at the Faculty of Mining, Geology and Petroleum Engineering, University of Zagreb
No full textEnglish for Specific Purposes (ESP) is a course which teaches students the terminology needed in their field of study through relevant topics. Due to the compulsory nature of the course and its placement in the first year at university, students may develop negative attitudes toward ESP and have lower levels of learning motivation. The aim of this thesis was to investigate learning motivation and attitudes of 142 ESP university students at the Faculty of Mining, Geology and Petroleum Engineering. The instrument used was a questionnaire whose results were subject to statistical analysis and used to test five hypotheses. The results showed that there is no difference in attitudes and learning motivation between male and female students, or among students of Petroleum Engineering, Mining and those of Geology. Years of learning English prior to learning ESP also showed no statistical relevance. The fourth and fifth hypotheses were confirmed: more positive attitudes toward the English language, the teacher, course material and evaluation lead to higher motivation for learning ESP and the students’ intrinsic motivation was higher than extrinsic. A further analysis of the questionnaire was also conducted and the overall results point to the fact that, due to their young age and the fact that they have just started university, students acknowledge the overall importance of English, but are not fully aware of the benefits of ESP in their field of study.Engleski jezik za posebne namjene (ESP) je kolegij koji kroz relevantnu tematiku poučava studente terminologiju koja im je potrebna u području koje studiraju. Zbog činjenice da je kolegij obavezan i održava se na prvoj godini studija, studenti prema njemu mogu razviti negativne stavove i imati nisku razinu motivacije za učenjem. Cilj ovog diplomskog rada bio je istražiti motivaciju za učenjem i stavove prema ESP-u 142 studenata koji pohađaju ESP na Rudarsko-geološko-naftnom fakultetu Sveučilišta u Zagrebu. Kao sredstvo prikupljanja podataka korišten je upitnik čiji su se podaci statistički obradili i analizirali kako bi se testiralo pet pretpostavki. Rezultati su pokazali kako ne postoji razlika u stavovima i motivaciji za učenjem između studenata i studentica, niti među studentima Naftnog rudarstva, Geologije i onih na smjeru Rudarstva. Godine učenja engleskog jezika prije učenja ESP-a na fakultetu također nisu bile statistički relevantan faktor. Četvrta i peta pretpostavka je dokazana: pozitivniji stavovi prema engleskom jeziku, učitelju, nastavnom materijalu i načinu evaluacije na kolegiju dovode do višeg stupnja motivacije za učenjem ESP-a, a intrinzična motivacija studenata je viša od ekstrinzične. Upitnik je podvrgnut daljnjoj analizi, a sveukupni rezultati ukazuju na to da zbog mlade dobi i činjenice da su tek upisali prvu godinu fakulteta, studenti shvaćaju općenitu važnost engleskog jezika, no još nisu u potpunosti svjesni koristi ESP-a u području koje studiraju
Translation and Translation Analysis of a Chapter from Zuzana Brabcova's „Far from the Tree“
Full text linkU ovom diplomskom radu obradili smo prijevod i translatološku analizu ulomka romana Daleko od stabla češke spisateljice Zuzane Brabcove. Rad je podijeljen na tri dijela: (1) uvod u autoričino stvaralaštvo, (2) prijevod i original poglavlja koje smo analizirali i (3) teorijsku analizu autoričina jezika te prijevodnih problema na koje smo naišli. Analiza je pokazala da je Zuzana Brabcová pažnje vrijedna autorica koja se na vrlo pametan, dosjetljiv i umjetnički kvalitetan način poigrava književnim vrstama. Njeno preplitanje epike s lirikom nagnalo nas je na to da se s ciljem zadržavanja utjecaja teksta na čitatelja odmaknemo od originalnog značenja pojedinih riječi.Cílem této diplomové práce je překlad a překladová analýza úryvku románu Daleko od stromu české spisovatelky Zuzany Brabcové. Práce je rozdělena do třech částí: (1) úvod do
spisovatelčiny tvorby, (2) překlad a originál rozebrané kapitoly,a(3) překladatelské problémy, které jsme rozebíraly. Během analýzy jsme používali patřící teorii
literárního překladu.Analýza ukázala,že Zuzana Brabcová je důležitou autorkou, která si chytře, nápaditě a umělecky kvalitně hraje s literárními druhy. Abychom zachovali autentické působení textu na čtenáře, v
překladu jsme se museli vzdálit od originálního významu
určitých slov.The aim of this thesis is to translate and analyze a chapter from a novel „Far from the Tree“, written by Czech author Zuzana Brabcová. Thesis consists of three parts: (1) introduction to author's work, (2) translation and the original chapter written in Czech language and (3) theoretical analysis of author’s language and translation problems that we had to solve. Examining the author’s language in this chapter has shown that Brabcová is an important author judging by her prudent, smart and imaginative play with literary genres. Due to interference of prose and poetic devices, we had to distance ourselves from the original meaning of words in order to preserve the authentic effect on the reader
