O discurso popular sobre
o problema
da inseguraça pessoal carrega três
dimensões
implícitas de análise. A primeira é
uma postura
moral, que se expressa nas qualificações de
censura sobre
o delito, os delinqüentes e as causas destes
fenômenos. A
segunda é a pretensão de afirmar algo sobre as
características empíricas dos mesmos; e a
terceira
é o chamado para intervenir sobre eles ou a proposta de
abordá-los, em termos programáticos, com uma
técnica de intervenção
específica. Estas
dimensões remetem a três grandes áreas
da
produção intelectual – a
ética, a
ciência e a praxis – que, desde uma perspectiva
racional,
constituem os requisitos para definir, compreender e intervir sobre o
problema do delito. A combinação das
três na
abordagem da delinqüência representa um ideal, dada
a
permanente condição de provisioriedade que
devemos
atribuir aos seus resultados. A busca deste ideal poderia ser
denominada de enfoque humanístico na criminologia, merecendo
o
desenvolvimento de uma metodologia própria para atingi-lo
nas
condições atuais da
investigação e
intervenção sobre a
delinqüência nas nossas
sociedades.
PALAVRA-CHAVE: criminologia, ciência, ética,
praxis.
THREE NECESSARY
APPROACHES TO CRIMINOLOGY
Christopher Birkbeck
Popular discourse on the crime problem carries within it three types of
analysis. The first is a moral posture, which is expressed in the terms
of censure that are used when speaking about crime, criminals, or the
causes of either. The second is the attempt to make empirical
statements about these phenomena; and the third is the call to
intervene or a proposal to use a particular kind of intervention
technique. Each of these dimensions reflects a discrete area of
intellectual activity which, from a rational perspective, is necessary
for defining (ethics), understanding (science) and responding to
(praxis) the
problem at hand. Their combination in our approach to crime must be
considered an ideal, given the permanently provisional nature of their
intellectual products. Nevertheless, the pursuit of that ideal could be
termed humanistic criminology – a perspective for which it be
would be worthwhile to develop a method.
KEYWORDS: criminology, science, ethics, praxis.
TROIS FOCALISATIONS
NÉCESSAIRES POUR LA CRIMINOLOGIE
Christopher
Birkbeck
Le discours populaire concernant le problème
d’insécurité individuelle comprend
trois dimensions
implicites d’analyse. La première dimension
consiste en
une attitude morale qui s’exprime dans les qualifications de
censure concernant le délit, les délinquants et
les
causes de ces phénomènes. La deuxième
dimension
cherche à formuler des affirmations sur les
caractéristiques empiriques de ces derniers et la
troisième est un appel pour intervenir sur chacun
d’eux ou
la proposition de les aborder, en termes programmatiques, avec une
technique d’intervention spécifique. Ces
dimensions nous
rapportent à trois grands domaines de production
intellectuelle
– l’éthique, la science et la praxis
– qui,
dans une perspective rationnelle, constituent les conditions pour
définir, comprendre et intervenir sur le problème
du
délit. La combinaison de ces trois domaines pour
l’abordage de la délinquance représente
quelque
chose d’idéal vu que les résultats
doivent eux
aussi toujours être considérés comme
quelque chose
de provisoire. On pourrait attribuer à la quête de
cet
idéal le nom de focalisation humanistique dans la
criminologie,
à partir du développement d’une
méthodologie
appropriée permettant de l’atteindre dans les
conditions
actuelles d’investigation et d’intervention sur la
délinquance dans nos sociétés.
MOTS-CLÉS: criminologie, science, ethique, praxis.

ESP Across Cultures

The decision to change from a paper-based to an online edition has undoubtedly
been beneficial in terms of enjoying greater visibility within the international academic
community. One thing that has not changed over the years, however, since
the inception of the journal in 2004, has been the policy of double-blind peer reviewing,
which means that only a selected number of the papers submitted end up as
being published.
There are seven papers in the current issue, each one analysing a particular aspect
of English for Specific Purposes from a cross-cultural perspective.
The first paper, by Hmoud S. Alotaibi, focuses on research article introductions
in Arabic, analysing the extent to which scholars writing in Arabic in the sphere of
education adhere to the CARS (Create A Research Space) model delineated by John
Swales which was elaborated in particular with regard to the academic conventions
widely adopted in the English-speaking world. Instead of restricting the investigation
to the introductory section as past studies in this field did, the author examines
all of the subheadings and he concludes that all introductions include Move 2 in a
subheading entitled the Problem of the Study, a result that contradicts previous
findings where the paucity of Move 2 was common in non-English RAs, and especially
in Arabic ones.
Patrizia Anesa analyses the websites of the main arbitration centres operating in
Asia from a textual perspective to define how they are discursively constructed and
can be used as promotional tools, thereby helping us to evaluate the importance assumed
by internationalization processes or by local cultural elements in promoting a
particular centre as a seat for international arbitration. She concludes that while
some scholars argue that we are witnessing the ‘Asianization’ of arbitration, with
the increasing bargaining power of Asian parties, on the other hand a phenomenon
of ‘Universal Arbitration’ is also emerging, i.e. a form of convergence of how disputes
are resolved so that parties of any nationality can operate in the same way
with ever fewer language barriers.
In their paper, Mahmood Reza Atai and Fatemeh Asadnia examine the communicative
and promotional function of university homepages by looking at the ‘university
overview’, ‘university mission statement’, and ‘university introduction at a
glance’ genres, using a corpus of 210 texts selected from homepages of the top 500
universities ranked by the Academic Ranking of World Universities. The findings
demonstrated that the three genres shared communicative purposes, functional
units, certain moves and steps, socio-academic contexts, and discourse community
members that led to the formation of a genre set.
Gaetano Falco explores ways of using comics in an MA course on translation of
economic texts as a means of stimulating the interest of language students with no
economics skills in order to introduce economics-related lexis and improve thematic
competence in general. He observes that empirical research has shown that films
and comics can indeed be useful resources to teach economic translation to students
with no skills in economics. However, the author warns that the use of comics for
educational purposes may have its drawbacks, e.g. when students deal with complex
sign systems which embody complex economic concepts, where often the humorous
element is lost.
In her paper, Irina Khoutyz describes the differences in how scholars present
their findings in research articles (RA) in international journals in English and in

local journals in Russian. She then looks into the reasons for these differences, seeking
explanations from the sociocultural contexts in which these RAs were written,
as well as providing advice to local authors as to how to make their RAs more competitive
at the international level. The differences include the apparent lack of
structure of Russian RAs with respect to English RAs; the tendency in Russian authors
not to specify the purpose in writing a paper; and the tendency of Russian authors
to present the methodology used in less detail compared with English RAs.
Luisella Leonzini investigates the use of verbal and visual metaphors in economic-
media discourse within the context of the euro crisis by studying the correlation
between linguistic and pictorial metaphors and text-image intersemiotic relations.
The research is based on a cross-analysis of English and Italian editorial
articles published between 2009 and 2012. In both corpora, metaphorical realizations
frame the economic crisis which hit the single currency and the eurozone in
2009 as a partial collapse and hint at a possible return to stability in the form of a
recovery. The aim of this paper is to analyse the collapse/caduta and
recovery/ripresa metaphors across languages in the press.
Ian Robinson reports on using corpus linguistics to aid students in writing a creative
text. He looks at the available literature to help understand what is meant by
‘creativity’. A worksheet was prepared using a corpus linguistic analysis of modern,
English versions of the stories of the Brothers Grimm. This worksheet was constructed
with the use of a specialized corpus, and a stop-list was created which contained
single words as well as word clusters found in the tales. Students were then
asked to select some of these words and phrases to help them write stories which
were then analysed, and a follow-up questionnaire was used to elicit the students’
perceptions concerning creativity. The author concludes that creativity is essential
in EFL and that it is something to be fostered in students
Overconvergent Hilbert modular forms via perfectoid modular varieties
No full textThis has now been published: Birkbeck, Christopher; Heuer, Ben; Williams, Chris. Overconvergent Hilbert modular forms via perfectoid modular varieties. Annales de l'Institut Fourier, Online first, 86 p. We give a new construction of -adic overconvergent Hilbert modular forms by using Scholze's perfectoid Shimura varieties at infinite level and the Hodge--Tate period map. The definition is analytic, closely resembling that of complex Hilbert modular forms as holomorphic functions satisfying a transformation property under congruence subgroups. As a special case, we first revisit the case of elliptic modular forms, extending recent work of Chojecki, Hansen and Johansson. We then construct sheaves of geometric Hilbert modular forms, as well as subsheaves of integral modular forms, and vary our definitions in -adic families. We show that the resulting spaces are isomorphic as Hecke modules to earlier constructions of Andreatta, Iovita and Pilloni. Finally, we give a new direct construction of sheaves of arithmetic Hilbert modular forms, and compare this to the construction via descent from the geometric case
