Trauma e fumetto: il viaggio in Italia di Ulli Lust
No full textHeute ist der letzte Tag vom Rest deines Lebens is an autobiographical graphic novel by the Austrian author Ulli Lust. Ulli, who is a rebellious seventeen-year old “punk” girl and the protagonist of the book, went for a hitchhiking trip across Italy. Although Ulli enjoyed the journey and the new sense of freedom, she also ran into many difficulties. Italy is depicted as a male-dominant society, where women are regarded as sexual objects. During her trip Ulli had to face molestations, sexual assaults and even rape. Some of the comic’s most dramatic pages represent the effects of violence on the protagonist, such as feelings of shame and nightmares. This article focuses on the verbal and graphic representation of a trauma. With the support of trauma studies, I will analyze the sequence of images representing rape and argue that this is an illustration of a "post-traumatic stress disorder". Usually narrating a traumatic event represents a great challenge, because of the incommunicable and unutterable nature of traumas. I will argue that comics can overcome the difficulties of narrating a traumatic event thanks to the combined use of text and images
Ulli beier, Obotunde Ijimere and Theopaneia in the imprisonment of Obatala
No full textUlli Beier's attachment to the arts and the peoples of Nigeria is in itself unique. His choices, in association, research and artistic efforts portray this in an unequivocal manner. Obotunde Ijimere, another of Beier's creations, is the author of The Imprisonment of Obatala. This study examines the posture and the context in which Beier perceives the Yoruba, his involvement with the people's theopanic visions and the significance of the experiences to his work in Nigeria

No full textJapan’s New Trade Policy – A Policy Transformation Without Strategy?
No full textJapan’s trade policy has undergone major changes in recent years. This policy shift manifests itself in Japan’s turn towards bilateral and plurilateral trade agreements as a new pillar of its trade policy.In this book, the author identifies and analyzes the main driving forces and actors behind this policy change and discusses its potential political and economic ramifications. This book also raises the question on why Japan has failed to conduct a comprehensive and transparent evaluation of its new trade policy. The author draws on 25 expert interviews with policy makers, bureaucrats and other experts on Japanese trade policy to unveil deep insights into the complex process of trade policy-making in Japan.<br

The identification and measurement of safety management systems : towards a behavioural response approach
No full textThis thesis presents a model for identifying, measuring and managing the risks of hazardous technologies. This paper is not targeted at any one domain, but identifies specific principles of safety management applicable to mining, manufacturing, maritime and aerospace industries. Further, the application of a principled and comprehensive programme intends to provide an effective safety culture for general industry. The model addresses safety management at three levels - senior, middle and supervisory - with the aim of identifying latent conditions and active errors in terms of accident causation. The author intends to show that human error is a consequence, not a cause, and that is shaped and provoked by upstream workplace and organisational factors. Only by understanding the context that caused the error can we hope to limit its recurrence. The thesis rejects the popular notion that "human error" is implicated in roughly eighty percent of all major accidents, and proposes that lack of guidelines at the managerial levels of organisations is responsible. This hypothesis was tested and proven at Koeberg Nuclear Power Station by the process of assigning programme elements with steering mechanisms to managers to facilitate evaluation of programme effectiveness. This programme was designed to locate, identify and track errors due to the existence of latent conditions and active failures in operational processes. Human error is thus conceptualised as a symptom. The validity of this approach was established by both qualitative and quantitative assessments. Evaluation of questionnaires clearly indicated the effectiveness of steering controls assigned to the three management levels. It confirmed that specific safety programme elements need to be assigned to managerial levels to facilitate effective behavioural response at the operational level. Significantly, the programme elements utilised provided three essential management functions to the organisation: the human, engineering and organisational management models. Scientific opinion has recognised the need to incorporate these models into management procedures. But current safety management programmes conceptually exclude the above models for lack of appropriate steering mechanisms. The author concludes therefore that the model implemented provides a practicable framework for safety management in general industry. Stressed is the function of error identification and containment in a framework of continuous evaluation of process safety
