Dialogic Narrative Discourse in Austen's Emma: A Bakhtinian Review
No full textDue to the inherent multiple-voicedness of the genre of novel, novelists, via taking oppositional textual positions, can create twofold narratives which serve to convey two different intentions simultaneously, the direct intention of the character who is speaking and the refracted intention of the author. Such narratives could be created through using the disguise of carnivalesque character whose discourse is intentionally dialogized by means of an ironic discourse which embeds a potential unfolded dialogue of two (opposing) world views. Austen draws on such potential inherent in novelistic discourse by creating carnivalesque characters, layering of masquerades, and multiple mimesis to disguise her real intention. Following Bakhtin's theories of dialogism and carnivalesque, the present research investigates Austen's Emma through tracing carnivalesque character, extremely mocked by the objective narrator in the novel, who serves to disguise the real intention of the author and to create a double-voiced discourse leading the readers towards a double reading of the narrativ
In search of the Social - Toward an understanding of the Social Curator
No full textSince the 1960s contemporary art has seen a paradigm shift occur that has rejected the individual perspectives of modernity and begun to consider the value of connective and participatory aesthetics. New process-led and technologically-based practices have shifted the emphasis away from the art object and onto the art process, rendering the approach to making art a much more connected and relational one. In parallel, the curatorial role has radically shifted since it was first popularised in the 1970s. With less emphasis on the archival and more on the mediation and dissemination of practices, the role has risen to the forefront of the contemporary art arena, yet the actual methods of curation have not evolved in relation to the practices they curate, revealing an acute lack of curatorial convention for exhibiting and disseminating process-led practices.
Employing the term Social Practice to actively define this ever-evolving body of process-led works, this research is situated at the juncture between the social outputs of reciprocal artworks and the curator’s role in exhibiting them. In establishing curation as a practice and situating it at a well-founded and clear point of perspective, this thesis argues that a clearer understanding of curatorial practice will in turn formulate an active and more integrated way of working. Focussed on the curation of media and performative practices specifically, and through four practical case studies: Becoming Electric, Fast and Slow Networks, Scatter Projects and Turnstile, in curatorial and exhibition practice, a dynamic form of curatorial practice is made manifest. This Social Curation seeks to contextualise fully the potential of exhibitions as structures of communication and exchange, maximising social interaction and engagement across curatorial approach, process and outcome.
This thesis engages performative and participative approaches in its development of a research bricolage, revealing through practice how curation can function in an open and relational way. It contributes to methodical innovation through its use of a real-life initiative to test and ground the research strategies, and to the fields of artistic and curatorial research through original and responsive strategies towards evolving exhibition formats. Overall it has sought and revealed the means to both situate and question new ways of thinking and methods of working within the dynamic of the everyday
Sustainable entrepreneurship as a community of practice.
No full textWilson, Hugh - Associate Supervisor
Macdonald, Emma K. Associate SupervisorSustainable entrepreneurship literature at the micro-level of individual enterprises
identifies several issues hampering their growth, such as lack of funding and
other resources, and psychological and/or geographical isolation. Macro-level
research identifies attempts at supportive policy, such as new enterprise funding
and incubation hubs; however, sustainable entrepreneurs often find these
resources inaccessible or insufficient. There is very limited research, however,
examining the impact of the meso-level context of sustainable entrepreneurs, and
whether this level can help address their challenges. This study’s motivating
objective is therefore: To examine the phenomenon of sustainable
entrepreneurship at the meso-level, in order to better understand how it can be
enabled.
Initial field immersion in an EU-funded research project led abductively to the
observation that actors in the sustainable entrepreneurship field appear to
interact at the meso-level to address issues collaboratively. This led to the
overarching research question: Does a community of practice form around
sustainable entrepreneurship, and if so, what does it look like? Three more
specific questions were: RQ1: What drives the formation of a sustainable
entrepreneurship community of practice? RQ2: What shared practices does the
sustainable entrepreneurship community of practice enact? And RQ3: What
outcomes arise from these practices, and for whom? These questions were
explored through analysis of data-collection episodes over a three-year period
that the author attended as a participant observer alongside sustainable
entrepreneurs and allied stakeholders.
A key finding is that a sustainable-entrepreneurship community of practice exists:
actors with a shared commitment to the domain of sustainable entrepreneurship
collaborate as part of a community to solve problems by sharing practice and
learning from one another. Four drivers for this community of practice are
identified: perceived isolation, a lack of resources, reduced government, and
prosocial motivation. The community participates in four high-level practices:
network building, resource sharing, evolving business models, and re-shaping
the sustainable entrepreneurship infrastructure. Four categories of outcome from
the community of practice emerge: individual empowerment, enterprise scaling
and proliferating, civil society strengthening, and mainstreaming sustainable
entrepreneurship. Collectively, these practices can reduce some of the issues
facing sustainable entrepreneurs, such as limited funding and resources.
This thesis contributes to communities of practice theory by demonstrating that
the feature of situated learning (Lave and Wenger, 2011) via the four shared
practices creates social capital, highlighted in the entrepreneurship literature as
a key factor for success (Honig and Davidsson, 2003). In this way, this thesis
provides a novel contribution to theory by indicating how participation in the
community of practice can help sustainable entrepreneurs address the issues
identified and thereby develop, scale and replicate triple-bottom-line business
models. They do so, not just solving problems but supporting the wider
multistakeholder members to maximise opportunities and positively influence the
societal and political environment for SE. It also shows how situated learning
about the domain more widely is both a motivation and desired outcome of CoP
membership. Through the social capital generated, this community can influence
the macro-level and thereby further mainstream the phenomenon of sustainable
entrepreneurship.PhD in Leadership and Managemen
Jews and gender in British literature 1815-1865.
No full textPhDThis thesis examines the variety of relationships between Jews and gender in early
to mid-nineteenth century British literature, focussing particularly on representations
of and by Jewish women. It reconstructs the social, political and literary context in
which writers produced images and narratives about Jews, and considers to what
extent stereotypes were reproduced, appropriated, or challenged. In particular it
examines the ways in which questions of gender were linked to ideas about religious
or racial difference in the Victorian period.
The study situates literary representations of Jews within the context of
contemporary debates about the participation of the Jews in the life of the modern
state. It also investigates the ways in which these political debates were gendered,
looking in particular at the relationship between the cultural construction of
femininity and English national identity.
It first considers Victorian culture's obsession with Rebecca, the Jewess created in
Walter Scott's influential novel Ivanhoe (1819). It examines Rebecca's refusal to
convert to Christianity in the context of Scott's discussion of racial separatism and
modern national unity.
Evangelical writers like Annie Webb, Amelia Bristow and Mrs Brendlah were
prolific literary producers, and preoccupied with converting Jewish women.
Particularly during the 18'40s and 1850s, evangelical writing provided an important
forum for the construction and consolidation of women's national identity.
Grace Aguilar's writing was an attempt to understand Jewish identity within the
terms of Victorian domestic ideology. In contrast, Celia and Marion Moss, in their
historical romances, offered narratives of female heroism and national liberation,
drawing on the contemporary debate about slavery.
Benjamin Disraeli's construction of a "tough version of Jewish identity was a
response both to the contemporary stereotype of the feminised Jew and to the debate
about Jewish emancipation. It also drew on the virile ideology of the Young England
movement of the 1840s
The picture of the family in Emma Jeleńska-Dmochowska’s novels for girls
No full textThe author of the article analyzes various family issues in the works of Emma Jeleńska- Dmochowska, especially in the two novels for girls: Panienka (The Young Lady) and Dwór w Haliniszkach (The Manor House in Haliniszki). The reconstruction of the image of the family in these novels enables us to consider the family values and parental roles in the literary, cultural and customary contexts of the 19th and 20th centuries. The author of the article notices intertextual connections between these two texts and other novels for girls from the same literary period, as well as the inspirations with the views and works of Eliza Orzeszkowa, and to a lesser extent, the works of Maria Rodziewiczówna. The author also points out the relationship between the family issues in the works of Jeleńska-Dmochowska and the patriotic issue of the decline of the Polish landed gentry after the January Uprising and the issue of the emancipation of women.ANNA NOSEK, dr hab., prof.

The role of attachment in adult mental health difficulties following the experience of childhood abuse
No full textChild abuse is recognised to contribute to the development of adult mental health problems and personality disorders. The role of attachment in this relationship is widely acknowledged, but not well understood. A systematic review of the literature investigated studies considering the role of adult attachment in symptoms of PTSD in populations which had experienced child abuse. Different attachment styles, particularly ‘negative model of self’ were shown to be associated with PTSD. Moderating and mediating roles of attachment was observed across some, but not all studies. The influence of different forms of abuse and attachment figures were observed and discussed with relation to limitations of studies and clinical implications.Prevalence rates of child abuse, mental health difficulties, personality disorders and emotion dysregulation are high in the homeless population. Although associated with these factors, the relationship with attachment has not been researched. The empirical paper used a cross sectional design to investigate the presence of personality constructs associated with self-control, and, the role of attachment with these factors. Ninety-one participants completed self-report measures, identifying high levels of ego under-control and ego-resiliency. Results showed significant correlations across the majority of variables. Bootstrapping methodology suggested anxious attachment mediated the relationship between child abuse and emotion dysregulation. Further analysis showed emotion dysregulation mediated the relationship between anxious and avoidant attachment, and, self-control. These findings provide further support for the role of attachment in mental health problems and personality disorders, and, previous research recognising the importance of individual factors influencing the experience of being homelessness

A Complete Mitochondrial Genome Sequence from a Mesolithic Wild Aurochs (Bos primigenius)
No full textBackground
The derivation of domestic cattle from the extinct wild aurochs (Bos primigenius) has been well-documented by archaeological and genetic studies. Genetic studies point towards the Neolithic Near East as the centre of origin for Bos taurus, with some lines of evidence suggesting possible, albeit rare, genetic contributions from locally domesticated wild aurochsen across Eurasia. Inferences from these investigations have been based largely on the analysis of partial mitochondrial DNA sequences generated from modern animals, with limited sequence data from ancient aurochsen samples. Recent developments in DNA sequencing technologies, however, are affording new opportunities for the examination of genetic material retrieved from extinct species, providing new insight into their evolutionary history. Here we present DNA sequence analysis of the first complete mitochondrial genome (16,338 base pairs) from an archaeologically-verified and exceptionally-well preserved aurochs bone sample.
Methodology
DNA extracts were generated from an aurochs humerus bone sample recovered from a cave site located in Derbyshire, England and radiocarbon-dated to 6,738±68 calibrated years before present. These extracts were prepared for both Sanger and next generation DNA sequencing technologies (Illumina Genome Analyzer). In total, 289.9 megabases (22.48%) of the post-filtered DNA sequences generated using the Illumina Genome Analyzer from this sample mapped with confidence to the bovine genome. A consensus B. primigenius mitochondrial genome sequence was constructed and was analysed alongside all available complete bovine mitochondrial genome sequences.
Conclusions
For all nucleotide positions where both Sanger and Illumina Genome Analyzer sequencing methods gave high-confidence calls, no discrepancies were observed. Sequence analysis reveals evidence of heteroplasmy in this sample and places this mitochondrial genome sequence securely within a previously identified aurochsen haplogroup (haplogroup P), thus providing novel insights into pre-domestic patterns of variation. The high proportion of authentic, endogenous aurochs DNA preserved in this sample bodes well for future efforts to determine the complete genome sequence of a wild ancestor of domestic cattle
Encapsulation of eugenol by spray-drying using whey protein isolate or lecithin: Release kinetics, antioxidant and antimicrobial properties
No full text[EN] The encapsulation of eugenol (E) by spray-drying using whey protein (WP) or soy lecithin (LE) and maltodextrin in combination with oleic acid (OA) and chitosan (CH) was analysed in order to obtain antioxidant and antimicrobial powders for food applications. Formulations with only WP or LE showed higher encapsulation efficiencies (EE) (95¿98%) and antibacterial effect against E. coli and L. innocua due to their greater E load. Incorporation of OA or CH promoted lower EE, which negatively affected the antimicrobial and antioxidant activities of the powders. Furthermore, the addition of CH implied less thermal protection against the E losses. The eugenol release was not notably affected by pH or polarity of the food simulant, but the release rate significantly decreased when incorporating OA and CH. The E-LE formulations better retained the eugenol than E-WP powders when heated above 200¿°C, this being relevant for the powder inclusion in thermally treated products.The authors acknowledge the financial support provided by the Spanish Ministerio de Educacion y Ciencia (Projects AGL2013-42989-R and AGL2016-76699-R).
