No full textLe mémoire de master intitulé « Adaptation cinématographique de Bonjour Tristesse de F. Sagan » s'occupe de la comparaison du livre « Bonjour Tristesse » de l'écrivaine populaire, Françoise Sagan, avec la comparaison du film du célèbre réalisateur Otto Preminger. Après la présentation et l'analyse du livre, des personnages principaux et du décor, le film du même nom sera analysé. Tout d'abord, les liens entre la littérature et le cinéma seront mise en évidence et expliqués, et plus tard, on va expliquer ce qui est une adaptation cinématographique. Cela sera suivi d'une analyse détaillée des scènes du film, qui sera appuyée par quelques exemples et citations du livre. En comparant le livre et le film, cela nous amènera à une conclusion avec laquelle nous pourrons répondre à la question posée dans l'introduction elle-même. Une comparaison du livre et du film nous montrera s'il y a des traces du livre dans l'adaptation cinématographique et dans quelle mesure Otto Preminger a bien fait son travail.Diplomski rad pod nazivom Filmska adaptacija « Dobar dan, tugo » F.

MICRO SIMULATION OF PELICAN CROSSING AT SIGNALIZED INTERSECTIONS (Case Study: Gejayan and Sagan Intersections, Sleman, Yogyakarta)
No full textThe condition of the existing of pedestrian crossing at Gejayan and Sagan
is the unavailability of special signals for the pedestrians. Therefore, the author
proposes a simulation on pelican crossing. The main reason of using simulation is
that there is no pelican crossing in the street mentioned. In this case, the
simulation used is a micro simulation of Aimsun. The aims of this research are to
find out the effectiveness of each scenario in term of intersection performance

The Metaphor of Don Carlos in Leontine Sagan’s Movie Mädchen in Uniform]. „Przestrzenie Teorii” 32. Poznań 2019, Adam Mickiewicz University Press, pp. 143–166. ISSN 1644-6763.

The article is a comprehensive analysis of the intertextual references to Frederick Schiller’s tragedy Don Carlos in Leontine Sagan’s movie Girls in Uniform (Mädchen in Uniform, 1931). The author considers the complex circumstances of the cooperation between the director and the artistic director, Carl Froelich, during the production. Moreover, she also presents the literary basis for the movie, namely the tragedy by Christy Winsloe (Gestern und Heute – Yesterday and Today).On this basis, the author analyses the multilevel presence of two phenomena in the movie: suppression and authenticity, which are related to the metaphor of Don Carlos and the plot of love between two women. The contexts for the analysis are inspired by research in the anthropology of romanticism, psychoanalysis, the psychology of sexual identity, and research on the works of Frederick Schiller.Mazur Daria, Między stłumieniem a autentycznością.

The social class struggles concept with an interdisciplinary approach: a paramount concept for research in library and information science (LIS)
No full textThis paper analyses the social class struggles concept with an interdisciplinary approach to be used by theorists and practitioners of library and information science (LIS). This concept emerged as part of the theoretical framework employed by the author in his doctoral thesis (Muela-Meza, 2010): An Application of Community Profiling to Analyse Community Information Needs, and Providers: Perceptions from the People of the Broomhall Neighbourhood of Sheffield, UK. This concept is complemented from philosophy (Marx and Engels, [1848] 1976a), and the natural sciences (Hauser, 2006; Sagan and Druyan, 1992), and it served the author to understand better the bigger dimensions of the underlying issues behind social classes and human conflicts. It also served to understand better the contradictions between people (e.g. LIS users with contradictory and mutually exclusive information needs to be provided by libraries and other institutions of information recorded in documents), and how these intensify when these are interrelated with the social class they belong to (Muela-Meza, 2007). This paper also criticises some competing views whose proponents by pretending fallaciously and deceitfully to deny the presence of social class divides in society, such as those rhetorical ploys of post-modernism that propose capitalist-class-driven ideologues of “community cohesion” based on “social capital” (Putnam, 1999). It shows evidence of how those followers (e.g. Pateman, 2006; Contreras Contreras, 2004; Bryson, Usherwood and Proctor, 2003) of capitalist-class ideologues, by doing so they aligned their discourse to that of dominance hierarchies and hegemony against working class people, in LIS and other sciences, and the humanities. It also criticises the postmodern pseudoscience because it pretends to undermine the logical rationality fundamental in LIS and all other sciences. It recommends that LIS theorists and practitioners employ the social class struggles concept as configured here in order to understand better contradictions, conflicts, and struggles within LIS theory and practice, and also to search for broader epistemological aims such as justice and wisdom (Fleissner and Hofkirchner, 1998), concealed by the capitalist or bourgeois and middle classes for their benefit against working class
