Dr. Christopher von Rueden – Faculty Author Interview
No full textDr. Christopher von Rueden, an anthropologist and Assistant Professor in the Jepson School of Leadership Studies, discusses a recent article entitled, “Men’s status and reproductive success in 33 non-industrial societies: Effects of subsistence, marriage system, and reproductive strategy,” which he co-authored with Dr. Adrian Jaeggi, an anthropologist at Emory University. Their findings were recently published in the journal, Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences
Book Review: Edward S. Curtis: The Women
No full textPhotographs by Edward Curtis have been widely reproduced, and Christopher Cardozo\u27s selection is distinctive only because all of the subjects are women. Cardozo\u27s text gives a brief biography of Curtis and is highly laudatory of Curtis\u27s ability to establish relationships with his subjects. The reproduction of the photos is disappointingly muddy, an effect that emphasizes the sense that the photos are of significant age. It does not capture the extraordinary qualities of clarity, depth, and luminosity that characterize Curtis\u27s originals (although perhaps it would be impossible to reproduce those qualities except from Curtis\u27s glass plate negatives)
ESP Across Cultures
No full textThis present volume constitutes the third online edition of 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
Mapping of the Haig Fras Site of Community Importance (SCI)
No full textThis report describes the results from multidisciplinary field surveys of the Haig Fras reefcomplex, presently designated as a Site of Community Importance (SCI) and a candidateSpecial Area of Conservation (cSAC). Since the designation of Haig Fras as an SCI, newevidence has come to light suggesting that the Annex I reef habitat, for which the site wasselected, extends outside the existing site boundary, prompting the present investigation tomap the full extent of reef habitat at Haig Fras. The Centre for Environment, Fisheries andAquaculture Science (Cefas) and the Joint Nature Conservation Committee (JNCC) jointlysurveyed the Haig Fras complex, collecting remotely sensed multibeam data and directlyobserved ground-truthing data. These datasets have been analysed to determine the fullextent of the Annex I reef and produce an updated habitat map of the area.The total area of Annex I reef identified is approximately 176km2; 26km2 (15%) of which sitsoutside of the current SCI boundary. The predominant biotope observed on the rocky reefwas A4.212: Caryophyllia smithii, sponges and crustose communities on wave-exposedcircalittoral rock.Sedimentary habitats present between the rocky reef outcrops have been characterised,mapped and assigned mostly to the biotope A5.15: Deep circalittoral coarse sediment.Although patches of boulders and cobbles were observed in the area, the acquired evidencedid not meet published criteria for the identification and assignation of stony reef. Smallpatches of circalittoral rock surrounded by sediment were detected on the acoustic datarecord, however, there was no direct observation of these patches from ground-truthingsamples.Updated maps depicting the distribution of identified EUNIS habitat types and Annex I reefare presented
