The Subjectivity of Literary Interpretations
Get PDFThis paper attempts to examine the effectiveness of literary interpretations applied to literary texts. It demonstrates how critical approaches provide an in-depth analysis of the subjectivity of literary interpretations in addition to their objective view of literature. That is, critical approaches open new horizons for readers to grasp the core conceptual meaning of literary works which, in turn, make the receptive readers involved in the analytical process of their elements, such as plot, setting, narrative point of view, and characterization. The discussion of literary interpretations reveals the possibility of delving deep into the critical nuances of literature as a human product concerned with depicting reality in both subjective and objective styles. In this respect, the paper sheds light in the relationship between the author and the reader in creating a literary text including the subjective mood of its interconnected elements. The subjectivity of literary interpretations will be highlighted by discussing this relationship in terms of formal interconnectedness and public sphere, structuralism, and post-Structuralism

Mitigating Developmental Disparities and Regional Instability Through Public Policy Landscaping
Get PDFSince government is the universally-accepted system that is responsible for midwifing the development and progress of nations and governance is mainly delivered through the making and implementation of public policy, it is imperative to develop a strategic policy view of the root-cause (s) of the bad governance that triggers the developmental disparities within and between nations which invariably engender national and regional instability across many corners of the globe. Developmental disparities within and between nations are especially important as the primary causes of national and regional conflicts as well as trans-national migration and sundry trans-national crimes such as human trafficking. In this article, I argue that public policy is so central to governance and pivotal to national development and progress that it must be recognized as the powerful force that can either unite polities around the pursuit of development and progress or leave them deeply-divided and starved of much-needed development. The crux of this argument is that national development and progress are impossible without national unity and regional stability. My second argument is that commitment to the practice of policy-led governance should be considered doubtful unless it can be proven by the prioritization of the institutionalization of Public Policy systems that are designed to, first and foremost, foster national unity and regional stability. The mission of this article is to introduce the novel concept of Public Policy Landscaping as the strategic means of making the governance landscape suitable for the development and deployment of the environmentally-sensitive public policy systems that can be relied upon to unite policy-led entities around the pursuit of national and regional development. Public policy does to the governance what landscape architecture does to natural land and this means that any neglect of public policy landscaping is bound to leave the governance landscape in a poor state that will invariably impede good policymaking and policy implementation

PUNISHMENT, CONTROL AND PRISONS:A SHORT OVERVIEW OF INCARCERATION IN BRAZIL
Get PDFThis text aims to discuss how the prison in the West started, as well as how this new form of curtailment of freedom has become the most chosen when it comes to defining means of punishment and control over human life. Since its institution in the eighteenth century, surveillance over human delinquency has become a practice that has permeated not only penitentiary institutions, but fundamentally our daily life. Therefore, it is necessary to understand how social life is permeated by the criterion of “seeing without being seen” and “monitoring without being monitored”. If on the one hand we have a constant control over human behavior in public spaces, penitentiaries have then become a space of total segregation, in the sense that they separate the normal from the abnormal, the “good citizen” from the delinquent. In this way, this text also addresses the situation of Brazilian penitentiaries, first in general and then, more emphatically, the reality of women’s prisons in our country. In addition, it should be noted that the text produced here adopted the scientific methodology of a bibliographic order, of a qualitative nature, judiciously based on a theoretical foundation based on scientific articles and books by authors who have studied and investigated the theme since the mid-1970s
Les ralations sino-africaines dans Le Monde : Une analyse de la structure du cadre médiatique
Get PDFDepuis longtemps, la Chine entretient des relations amicales et de coopération avec le continent africain et exerce une influence croissante sur les pays africains. Cette influence attire l’attention des pays et des médias occidentaux, en particulier la France, ancienne puissance coloniale en Afrique. Les médias françaises accordent une importance sur les relations sino-africaines et les prennent comme un des sujets importants de reportage.Basée sur l’analyse de contenu, cet article recueille principalement des reportages sur les relations sino-africaines du Monde de 2020 à 2022 et tente d’analyser la façon dont les médias français construisent les relations sino-françaises à travers des cadres journalistiques, afin de creuser des raisons profondes et proposer des stratégies ou des conseils pour les médias chinois . Selon les données que nous avons obtenues, Le Monde a pris une positon négative dans les reportages sur les relations sino-françaises, bien que dans une certaine manière il apprécie l’aide de la Chine aux pays africains pendant la pandémie et fasse une évaluation positive des efforts de la Chine pour le développement de l’Afrique, ses reportages se concentrent davantage sur le pillage des ressources et le commerce illégal de la Chine en Afrique. D’après Le Monde, la Chine piège l’Afrique dans la dette et tente de le contrôler pour obtenir plus de soutiens politiques internationaux. Les médias français, par intérêt national et par crainte de perdre le contrôle des ressources et des marchés africains, emploient les médias de masse pour créer un environnement d’opinion publique défavorable à la Chine afin de limiter l’infuence de la Chine en Afrique. Face à cette situation, ce n’est qu’en construisant un cadre approprié, en élargissant et en approfondissant le contenu du reportage que les médias chinois peuvent trouver une issue et construire efficacement un pouvoir discursif des médias internationaux chinois
