Implied Author, Overall Consideration, and Subtext of "Desiree's Baby"
No full textThis essay explores how to infer from a text the image of the implied author. It examines Kate Chopin's "Desiree's Baby" (1893), which has been widely regarded as an indictment of racism but which an "overall consideration" of the implied author's choices will lead us to see as a racist text. Through the interaction of various details in the text, the implied author suggests three racist dichotomies: (1) white characters' nondiscrimination versus black characters' discrimination, (2) positive slavery under white masters versus negative slavery under a black master, and (3) superior whites versus inferior blacks. This implied racist stance reflects the historical context of Chopin's personal experiences, but it contrasts with the quite different racial stances of the implied authors of some other Chopin narratives with different thematic designs. The complexity of the narratives under the name "Kate Chopin" offers an opportunity not only to gain a better understanding of the concept of implied author but also to clarify the relations (connections as well as disparities) among textual, intertextual, and extratextual evidence in literary interpretation in general.LiteratureA&HCI4ARTICLE2285-3113
Soundscape and sense of presence in the VR experience of Madame Pirate: Becoming a legend
No full textThis article proposes a phenomenological and critical analysis of the film, Madame Pirate: Becoming a Legend, written and directed by Morgan Ommer and Huang Dan-Chi (Taiwan: Serendipity Films 綺影映畫, 2022, VR360, 17 min), with the goal of encouraging more comparative analyses of narrative paradigms expressed through virtual reality. Particular attention will be paid to the sound aspect in Madame Pirate, which is foundational in establishing a sense of presence for the viewer. Following a discussion of theoretical framing for virtual reality production, the author presents an experiential report of her experience of Madame Pirate, focusing on how sound influences the sense of presence, directs the viewer’s gaze, and steers the narrative

Non c’è pace tra gli ulivi. La sperimentazione inesausta del diritto penale dell’impresa e dell’economia. Spunti per un Confronto di idee
No full textL’Autore propone alcuni temi per un Confronto di idee in relazione al diritto dell’impresa e dell’economia, divenuto un “laboratorio” sperimentale a ciclo continuo delle riforme in ambito penale. Accanto alle fattispecie di nuovo conio ed alla modifica di quelle previgenti, viene dilatata l’estensione delle misure ablative e della responsabilità degli enti, mentre si confermano le strategie di contrasto alla corruzione e la necessità di individuazione anticipata dello stato di crisi delle imprese, nella cornice degli obiettivi connessi ai paradigmi dello sviluppo sostenibileThe author suggests a comparison of ideas in relation to business and economic law, which has become a continuous cycle experimental "laboratory" of reforms in the penal field. Alongside the newly minted cases and the alteration of the former ones, the extension of ablative measures and the prosecution and punishment of corporate Criminality is being expanded, while the strategies to combat corruption and the need for early identification of the state of corporate crisis are confirmed, in the frame of the sustainable development
Though I Am Gone (Wo sui siqu) del regista Hu Jie: una riflessione preliminare sul documentario personale in Cina
No full textThe paper focuses on the analysis of the family archival footage featured in the documentary Wo sui siqu (Though I Am Gone, DVD, 66 min, 2007) by Hu Jie, a 1958-born author and filmmaker known in China and abroad for focusing his works on the light and shades of the
individual and collective history of the Chinese people. The first part of the manuscript is about the definition of found footage itself to systematize the plural aesthetic dimensions created by the use of “recycled images” and clarify what is meant when we discuss documentaries based on archival material. I will then place Though I Am
Gone in one of the proposed aesthetic and theoretical macro-categories:
personal cinema. I will highlight how it is precisely the reuse of archival material that suggests an experience of a new past, and not the re-presentation in the present of a past event. Specifically, I aim to reflect on the narrative strategies implemented by Hu Jie to communicate memorial events, questioning how the experience of Though I Am Gone operates in the re-creation of memory and its transmission, in the hope of contributing to academic research on contemporary Chinese documentary cinema, the culture of remembrance, and the use of new
technologies in today’s China

Pricing techniques for the European airspace
No full textThe present work lays down the roadmap for a Ph.D. research on methods for redistributing traffic demand through pricing policies in European airspace. First, the authors introduce a classification framework for pricing schemes in network industries. The framework is then applied for identifying relevant characteristics that a pricing scheme for European airspace should have. Finally, some guidelines are drawn on which pricing approaches in other industries may be suitable for each of the delineated configurations
Liturgy, imagination and poetic language : a study of David Jones's The Anathemata.
No full textThe thesis seeks to attempt an examination of David Jones's long poem The Anathemata primarily from a theologically informed standpoint. It sets out to understand, from the literary-critical point of view, the forces and influences that have come together in order to make the poem. At the same time, it is aware of and tries to explore the theological, liturgical and mythological material which provides Jones with both the background to and the content of his poem. It is argued that the form of poem, its linguistic content and the experience of reading it, are best understood in terms of pilgrimage and that such a metaphor is best suited to encompass both its huge scale and its attention to detail.
From an overall examination of the available secondary literature, the thesis proceeds examine something of the experience of reading the poem, whether or not the poem can be conveniently understood as an epic and what Jones himself thought he was doing, at the same time his own theoretical stance is illuminated by reference to other contemporary thinkers.
An extensive examination of the terms 'myth' and 'anamnesis' and the backgrounds and links between the two both in general and within the context of the poem precede chapters which explore the language of the poem both in terms of stylistic features and also in terms of the literary sources on which Jones draws and which make up the intertexual space within which the poem exists. These matters are further examined in a discussion of the most significant themes with which the poet works in the course of The Anathemata. Finally, some account is given of the formal shape of the poem before a 'commentary' or 'paraphrase' of the poem draws out, in context, the significant features
