On the Usefulness of Aleida and Jan Assmann’s Concept of Cultural Memory for Studying Local Communities in Contemporary Poland- the Case of Olsztyn
No full textThe goal of this article is to review the possibilities and limitations of applying Aleida and Jan Assmann’s concept to the study of local memory, using as an example the memory of inhabitants of the Polish town of Olsztyn. The author first briefly presents selected key premises of Aleida and Jan Assmann’s concept of culturalmemory. She then addresses the question of how the Assmanns’ concept is received and interpreted in Poland. Discussion of these issues leads to an analysis of the advantages and difficulties of applying the two German scholars’ theoretical proposals to the study of memory in local communities. The author refers to the case of a moderately aggregated, urban society with a complicated multiethnic past. Her conclusions concern the challenges scholars face in adopting Aleida and Jan Assmann’s theoretical perspective for studying memory and local communities in this part of Europ
TRAGEDI 1965 DALAM KUMPULAN CERPEN MATI BAIK-BAIK, KAWAN KARYA MARTIN ALEIDA: SEBUAH TINJAUAN NEW HISTORICISM
No full textThis research reviews the 1965 Tragedy in the collection of short stories Mati
Baik-Baik, Kawan by Martin Aleida using New Historicist perspective. The New
Historicism allows us to answer questions of textuality of history in the short stories,
historicity of texts, the author background, and his behavior and view on the tragedy.
New Historicism has been applied as a theoretical framework asserting that
literary pieces cannot be separated from political, social, and economic praxis. The
theory is based on three basic assumptions: 1) that every expressive act is embedded
in a network of material practice
A família na identificação precoce de sinais de depressão e as implicações para a enfermagem
No full textA depressão é uma doença mental crescente, sendo um dos maiores causadores de suicídio em todo o mundo. Com este trabalho conseguimos constatar que a depressão vem a aumentar gradualmente, sendo que os sinais e sintomas são muitas vezes ignorados pela sociedade/ família devido à falta de conhecimento sobre esta problemática e dos diversos danos que estes repercute na saúde do indivíduo e da família. O estudo tem como objetivo geral: Identificar o papel da família no reconhecimento de possíveis sinais de depressão num membro portador da patologia. Optou-se por um estudo qualitativo, descritivo e exploratório de caráter fenomenológico. Para tal, utilizou-se a entrevista semiestruturada como meio de aquisição de informação tendo sido entrevistados seis (6) famílias com um membro portador de depressão que se enquadravam nos critérios de seleção. Ao analisar as informações disponibilizadas, conclui-se que o papel da família no processo de recuperação do portador de depressão envolve muitas mudanças na vida social e na interação na família. A identificação precoce da depressão pelos familiares carece de grande envolvimento do enfermeiro e outros profissionais de saúde, mas também do nível união e conhecimento existente no ceio familiar. Durante a convivência diária com o utente portador de depressão, os familiares ultrapassam momentos de muito desassossego e stress devido ao relacionamento afetivo com o utente, gerando mudanças na sua vida a nível da saúde, do emprego e da vida social. Entretanto, não obstante da atualidade da temática em estudo, observa-se que na realidade cabo-verdiana existe uma carência de informação por parte dos familiares antes de terem um familiar portador de depressão na família e ainda que as equipas de enfermagem não estão devidamente capacitadas para incluir toda a família no tratamento da pessoa com depressão
Feminicide and Violence Against Women
No full textFemi(ni)cide is defined as the homicide of women and girls. This extreme form of gender-based violence is often associated with certain regions of the world, rather than being recognized as a global problem. The true dimensions of these crimes, such as the frequency of domestic offences or the particular risk level associated with separation from a partner — as well as the societal acceptance of violence against women — remain largely unknown because of a lack of in-depth analyses and because these crimes are usually not statistically recorded. In this discussion, four activists from different contexts share experiences from their work: Hannah Beeck and Aleida Luján Pinelo, with their initiative Feminizidmap, document the murders of women in Germany; Valeria España focuses on court verdicts and criminal prosecution in various South American countries; and Meena Kandasamy is an author whose work is dedicated to trauma and violence against women, especially in India. They seek to raise awareness of the complex issue of extreme violence against women and they demand greater public debate and the development of strategies in order to prevent crimes and obtain consistent criminal prosecution

No full textEl presente artículo analiza en qué consisten y cómo se articulan los aspectos interculturales en Donnie (2002), el primer texto literario del escritor de habla alemana Sherko Fatah (1964).

Vier Grundtypen von Zeugenschaft
No full textAn erudite, yet accessible cultural essay, reconstructing historical and cultural varieties of testimonies, which led to the emergence of various kinds of witness figures and types of testimonies. By introducing this order, it is easier to see and understand the specificity of oral history – both the “normal” and the “Holocaust” one – against the backdrop of court witness and religious testimonies. Assmann’s text lends itself to being read in a variety of ways – including as a culturological source study.

Gendered Secrecy in Shakespeare's <i>Lucrece</i>
No full textThis essay offers a critical, historical, and authorial analysis of the intersection of gender and secrecy in William Shakespeare's /Lucrece/. The author of this essay locates within the poem a traditional view in which females are either transparent and virtuous, or duplicitous and promiscuous, with little possibility for greater moral complexity. This dichotomous view emerges in the voices of the narrator and of Lucrece, who considers herself incapable of emotional opacity, and acts in response to her self-perceived transparency. It also marks the editorial response to the poem – in the seventeenth century, as shown by Sasha Roberts, and in the eighteenth, as shown here. The analysis covers little or never explored eighteenth-century responses in print to Shakespeare's poem, including /Tarquin and Lucrece, or, The Rape: A Poem/ (1768), part of the public uproar over a real-life rape scandal in 1767-1768. Apart from the main narrator of the poem, /Lucrece/ also contains a distinct authorial voice that comments freely on human nature. This brief but broad commentary indiscriminately endows moral complexity, irrespective of gender, thus suggesting that in Shakespeare's /Lucrece/ there are the means both for entrenching traditional notions of secrecy and gender and for undermining them
