Оценки и стереотипи в мъжко-женските отношения: поглед към скритите послания на паремиите
No full textThe subject of this review is Dimitrina Hamze’s book Gender Culture in Proverbs (Based on Material from Polish and Bulgarian Paremiology) – a valuable contributionto the interpretation of the elements of the cultural code related to the universal issues of male-female relations. Based on a multidisciplinary approach, the author (Associate Professor in Polish language and culture at Paisii Hilendarski University of Plovdiv), reveals the dynamic nature of the axiological meaning of proverbs. The most important results of the profound analysis carried out in the book include: exploring semantic zones of evaluation in the proverbs under investigation (beauty, love, marriage, infidelity, age, intelligence, etc.); recognition of the crypto-evaluative level of proverbial meaning that can stand in contrast to the explicit message; the author’s well-justified conclusion that stereotypes in gender-related proverbs appeal to overcoming rather than strengthening stigmatizing evaluation.The subject of this review is Dimitrina Hamze’s book Gender Culture in Proverbs (Based on Material from Polish and Bulgarian Paremiology) – a valuable contributionto the interpretation of the elements of the cultural code related to the universal issues of male-female relations.

Life is too short to be serious all the time: Donald Duck presents unconventional motivations for publishing in academia
No full textIn this food for thought article, we introduce the ‘Donald Duck Phenomenon’ to consider ten unconventional reasons for publishing in academia. These include (i) symbolic immortality, (ii) personal satisfaction, (iii) a sense of pride, (iv) serious leisure, (v) cause credibility, (vi) altruism, (vii) collaboration with a friend or family member, (viii) collaboration with a hero, (ix) conflict or revenge, and (x) for amusement. The article was inspired by the lead author’s social media search for a co-author with the surname ‘Duck’. Through LinkedIn, the lead author, Associate Professor William E. Donald, who is based in the UK and specialises in Sustainable Careers and Human Resource Management, found a collaborator, Dr Nicholas Duck, based in Australia and specialises in Organisational Psychology. While the collaboration may appear somewhat ‘quackers’, per one of Donald Duck’s famous phrases, “Life is too short to be serious all the time, so if you can’t laugh at yourself then call me… I’ll laugh at you, for you”. We hope that this article offers some interesting insights, particularly for academics at the start of their scholarly journey, and acts as a way to stimulate conversation around unconventional reasons for publishing in academia
