Feministisch gedachtegoed in de sexploitatiefilm. Een genderanalyse van Stephanie Rothmans The Working Girls (1974)
No full textHet beruchte en hypermannelijke sexploitatie genre, een vorm van lagere budget-films, stond in de jaren zestig en zeventig enorm bekend om de erotische en ondergeschikte weergave van de vrouw. Dit artikel illustreert aan de hand van de feministische sexploitatiefilm The Working Girls (1974) hoe Stephanie Rothman als een van de weinige vrouwelijke regisseurs toch feministische boodschappen kon verwerken in de patriarchale filmindustrie van de jaren zeventig.
The infamous and hyper-masculine sexploitation genre, a form of lower-budget films, was hugely known in the 1960s and 1970s for its erotic and subordinate portrayal of women. This article uses the feminist sexploitation film The Working Girls (1974) to illustrate how Stephanie Rothman, as one of the few female directors, was still able to incorporate feminist messages into the patriarchal film industry of the 1970s
Invloedrijke stemmen. Patiëntenverhalen uit het Johns Hopkins ziekenhuis rond 1900
No full textOmstreeks 1900 bevonden vrouwelijke patiënten zich in een ongelijkwaardige onderhandelingspositie in Amerikaanse ziekenhuizen. Toch daagden zij de ideeën en praktijken van hun artsen op verschillende manieren uit. Aan de hand van patiëntenverhalen werpt Jolien Gijbels licht op de invloed van vrouwen op de gynaecologen in het Johns Hopkins ziekenhuis in Baltimore
Editorial
No full textWe are very pleased to bring you this Special Issue (SI) for the Journal of Virtual Exchange entitled Virtual Exchange and the Development of Transferable Skills : A Review of Practices Across Disciplines. The overarching theme of the papers, each one integrating online pedagogical practice within a Virtual Exchange (VE), is the development of participants’ transferable skills to other work and study contexts. While there is no one universally-accepted definition of what transferable skills are, or consensus on what they include or exclude, they are as a blanket-term increasingly sought after by employers in recruitment and job descriptions to complement professional knowledge. O’Dowd in the Foreword provides a succinct discussion of the term. We understand transferable skills as a concept embracing a wide spectrum of cognitive, affective and behavioural competencies; examples featuring in the manuscripts below include intercultural communication and global citizenship, digital literacies, critical-thinking and mentoring. Expanding the concept of transferable skills, the newer term transversal skills can include ICT, language and cognitive skills (e.g., collaboration, negotiation and information-sharing) (Goggin et al., 2019), and these learning outcomes can also be seen in the Special Issue
Metaphors of Crisis Migration: Evidence from a Cross-National Corpus Study
No full textThe study explores the role of metaphors in European media representations of migrants and refugees du-ring the ‘refugee crisis’. It is conducted on a corpus of over six million words, consisting of newspa-per articles published between 2015 and 2018 in Poland, Spain, and the UK. It employs a con-cordancer to retrieve all instantiations of metaphors: (1) identified via a manual search in a sample of the corpus using the Pragglejaz Group’s Metaphor Identification Procedure (2007); and (2) discussed in previous studies concerning metaphorical representations of immigrants (e.g., El Refaie, 2001; Mu-solff, 2015; Taylor, 2021). Five main metaphors have been detected which liken migrants to commod-ities, liquids, animals, invaders, and (unwanted) guests, with some variation across the three subcor-pora. The identified metaphors’ functions are examined and potential implications are discussed. The results help put some of the frequently discussed mappings into perspective by pointing to a possible disproportion between the amount of attention paid to some metaphors in previous contributions and their actual frequencies in migration-related media discourse

"Ikke annet våpen enn ord og tanke" ─ Peder W. Cappelens schauspiel Lòke
No full textThe writer Peder W. Cappelen (1931-1992), although one of the most prolific Norwegian playwrights of the 1960s to 1980s, is little known abroad and has also received little attention from Norwegian literary historians. One of the reasons may be that he was considered an apolitical poet in an era that had once again taken up the banner of putting problems up for debate and taking a political standpoint, and that as a playwright he mainly took up material from folk poetry or medieval literature. Using the example of his 1972 myth drama Lòke, I would like to show that, on the contrary, Cappellen very clearly takes up contemporary political and social issues in this play. The fact that the play was not more successful is rather due to the new realism of Norwegian literature in the 1970s. With his myth drama and especially with the constellation of characters in it, which assigns Lòke the role of a mediator, Cappelen proved to be ahead of his time, because in the 1980s there are a number of myth adaptations that make use of Loki\u27s potential to overcome dualisms such as that between gods and giants.The writer Peder W.

Richthofen en Hettema. Een ongemakkelijke visite in 1834
No full textZusammenfassung. Im Sommer und Herbst 1834 begab sich Karl Freiherr von Richthofen als 23-Jähriger auf eine Forschungsreise durch Nordwest-deutschland sowie in die Niederlande, auf der Suche nach mittelalterlichen friesischen Rechtshandschriften, die größtenteils 1840 in seiner monumentalen Ausgabe Friesische Rechtsquellen herausgegeben wurden. Überall fand er angeblich freundliche Unterstützung, dennoch hatte er in Leeuwarden ein anscheinend eher unfreundliches Treffen mit seinem Fachkollegen Montanus Hettema. Zwar hatte Hettema guten Zugang zur ausgezeichneten Sammlungvon (zehn) Rechtshandschriften der Wierdsma-Familie, dennoch scheint Richthofen sie letztendlich nur sehr sparsam verwendet und verarbeitet zu haben. Was ist passiert? Leider gibt es keine zeitgenössischen Archivalien zu diesem Besuch, so dass die Sache lediglich aus den Publikationen der beiden Gelehrten abgeleitet werden muss. Glücklicherweise geben sie ausreichend Auskunft, um eine Rekonstruktion versuchen zu können
