Children's Climate Risk Index systematic review of the literature - Findings, outcomes & policy recommendations
Get PDFThis report has been compiled as part of the Children’s Climate Risk Index (CCRI) Project for UNICEF based on the work undertaken for the systematic literature review by Irena Connon and Lena Dominelli. The purpose is to provide a descriptive overview of the findings of the Systematic Literature Review from which a Diagram of Linkages between Climate Risk Factors and their Importance for Child Health Outcomes and a Child-Centred Iterative Loop Framework for Action were developed. This report considers: 1) How and to what extent the existing research and policy literature has examined the interactions and intersections between all the individual, structural, institutional, cultural factors, policies, and wider geographical domains that determine the risks, vulnerabilities, mitigation strategies and outcomes for individuals, including children, experiencing climate change hazards, risks, and related disasters. 2) The extent to which the agency, decision-making capacity, and rights of children, adolescents and young people has been captured within the existing academic research literature
Language and style in prosaic works written by Irena Dousková
Get PDFThe aim of the thesis is to provide linguistic and stylistic analysis of selected works written by Irena Dousková with focus on use of instruments of nonstandard language. A key criterion for the selection of individual texts was the presence of nonstandard language instruments in given prose. The following works were selected: a novel Hrdý Budžes (1998), a novella Někdo s nožem (2000) and a series of small proses O bílých slonech (2008). The thesis introduces Irena Dousková as a present author of both sophisticated and popular literature, summarizes the themes and critical reception of the selected works, which are further subject of linguistic and stylistic analysis. Based on the analysis results the thesis presents conclusions on trends in proses of Irena Dousková, and thus characterizes the individual style of the artist, whose main feature is a stylization of spoken communication

The problem of the „male“ language (on works by Miglena Nikolchina and Irena Ivanova)
Get PDFThe paper is devoted to the problem of the „male“ language which can be found in the works of two Bulgarian poets – Miglena Nikolchina and Irena Ivanova (better known by her pseudonym Rene Karabaš). The author associates them with the change that happens in literary criticism and the literary production itself after the 1990s. The author considers the synthesis of poetry and prose, poetry and theory as an intertextual „dialogue” through which is possible to analyze the texts of both poets. Thematically, the article focuses on the ways in which the woman gains „a right to have a voice“ rejecting her gender to take up the poet’s word and on how man appears to be a „quotation” in their works

'Don’t lose heart in dark times, we can’t keep going in the same direction forever': Culture and a Compound of Covid and Climate as Catalysts for Change in Responding to Extreme Weather in Scotland
Get PDFThis paper focuses on the importance of culture in influencing local responses to a new type of crisis during the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic in rural Scotland, and explores how culture, together with the lessons learnt from experiencing Covid in a context characterised by increasing intensity of climate-induced extreme weather, subsequently helped shape new and more effective collective responses to compounded storm-related emergencies. By examining the findings from online ethnographic interviews focusing on experiences of extreme weather undertaken during the first Covid wave, and a combination of online and face-to-face interviews that took place in the aftermath of a second wave, I explore the importance of the role of memory, history and sense of place for making sense of and responding to the new Covid crisis, and how these same aspects of culture were drawn upon to generate new forms of self-organisation and collective action for responding to extreme weather during the second Covid wave. In particular, I highlight how long-standing, culturally-specific ideas underpinning conceptualisations of a ‘local identity’ that were also perceived to have previously been ‘hijacked’ and appropriated by policy-makers to promote official de-centralised responses to extreme weather emergencies were reconsidered in the aftermath of the first Covid wave to promote greater social interconnectedness which, in-turn, helped overcome long-standing storm-response difficulties as well as new challenges facing community members during subsequent storms. I argue that this not only reveals the importance of culture for devising new ways of responding to risk within contexts of uncertainty and compounded crises but presents important insights for improving risk communication and helps further illuminate problems associated with the hegemonic uses of the concepts of resilience and vulnerability which continues to dominate official UK policy concerning climate-change and civil emergencies, as well as much of the wider risk and disaster research
