"Saved!" by Jena Malone: An introspective study of a consumer's fan relationship with a film actress
No full textWhile consumers have always been fascinated by the works and private lives of celebrities, some consumers experience a significantly more intensive level of admiration for a particular celebrity and, subsequently, become what are commonly known as fans. However, scant attention has been paid to how the relationship between fans and celebrities expresses itself in everyday consumer behavior. Thus, in order to explore celebrity fandom as a holistic lived experience from a fan's insider perspective, the lead author uses subjective personal introspection to provide insights into his private fan relationship with the actress Jena Malone. Drawing on narrative transportation theory, the study finds that a consumer's fan experiences may derive from one's personal engagement with the celebrity's artistic work and public persona. The latter is essentially the consumer's private intertextual reading of what s/he perceives to be relevant and ‘reliable’ media texts, which can result in a feeling of ‘knowing’ the celebrity like a personal friend — or even of ‘love’
Tagging of Biomedical Articles on CiteULike: A Comparison of User, Author and Professional Indexing
No full textThis paper examines the context of online indexing from the viewpoint of three different groups: users, authors, and professional indexers. User tags, author keywords and descriptors were collected from academic journal articles, which were both indexed in Pubmed and tagged on CiteULike, and analysed. Descriptive statistics, informetric measures, and thesaural term comparison shows that there are important differences in the use of keywords between the three groups in addition to similarities which can be used to enhance support for search and browse. While tags and author keywords were found that matched descriptors exactly, other terms which did not match but provided important expansion to the indexing lexicon were found. These additional terms could be used to enhance support for searching and browsing in article databases as well as to provide invaluable data for entry vocabulary and emergent terminology for regular updates to indexing systems. Additionally, the study suggests that tags support organisation by association to task, projects and subject while making important connections to traditional systems which classify into subject categories
Dekompozycja przestrzeni szpitalnej w Malone umiera Samuela Becketta: autor w świetle krytyki genetycznej
No full textThis article focuses on Samuel Beckett’s use of the asylum in his novel Malone Dies to explore the role of non-textual elements in genetic criticism (the study of a writer’s creative process through the analysis of their compositional manuscripts), as well as the function of the author in genetic analysis. Taking as its starting point Iain Bailey’s challenge to genetic critics to account for the biographical author which underpins the discipline’s study of written traces in authorial manuscripts, the article contends that genetic criticism must be used in tandem with other approaches such as historicism when studying spaces like Beckett’s asylums. Though Beckett took a scholarly approach when integrating such material into earlier work, making research notes which can be regarded as part of the genetic dossier, the asylum in Malone Dies – based on Dublin’s Saint John of God Hospital – leaves no such trail of textual breadcrumbs. Therefore, we must pay particular attention to the historical function of Saint John of God’s in order to understand how the asylum works in composition and reception. In doing so, an author existing beyond the written traces they leave behind can retake their place in a necessarily incomplete empirical field over five decades after Roland Barthes prematurely declared their death.Artykuł omawia sposoby przedstawiania obrazów szpitala psychiatrycznego w powieści Samuela Becketta pt. Malone umiera. Jego celem jest analiza pozatekstowych elementów w twórczości autora oraz ich rola w krytyce genetycznej. Dodatkowo artykuł podejmuje refleksję nad pozycją i miejscem autora w krytyce genetycznej. Wyjściowym założeniem artykułu jest teza stawiana przez Iaina Baileya mówiąca o tym, że krytykę genetyczną należy uprawiać w powiązaniu z innymi teoriami jak na przykład historycyzmem. Beckett prowadził niemalże naukowe przygotowania do pisania własnych tekstów, a także dokładał starań, by poczynione obserwacje zintegrować z materiałem stanowiącym podstawę własnego dzieła. Jego rozległe notatki oraz zapiski stanowią zatem doskonałą podstawę do badań genetycznych. Pomimo obfitości materiału dokumentacyjnego obrazy zakładu psychiatrycznego ukazanego w Malone umiera (którego pierwowzorem był dubliński szpital Saint John of God) noszą bardzo niewielkie echa pierwotnych tekstów i zapisków. Znaczenie tego szpitala w biografii Becketta odgrywa więc istotną rolę dla rozumienia jego ostatecznego przedstawienia w powieści, zarówno pod względem jej zakomponowania jak i późniejszej recepcji. Z niekompletnych zapisów empirycznych doświadczeń daje się jednak odtworzyć obraz pisarza istniejącego za zasłoną własnych tekstów i po części chociaż odzyskującego istnienie wiele lat po tym, kiedy Roland Barthes ogłosił śmierć autora
Le Conseil de sécurité dans les années 1990: essor et récession ?
No full textThe Security Council in the 1990's: Boom and Bust?, by David Malone
In this article, David Malone reviews key cross-cutting issues in Security Council decision-making throughout the 1990s. These include the growing focus on internai conflicts, a related increase in recourse to coercive measures (sanctions, naval blockades, authorization of the use of force) and often difficult partnership with regional organizations in addressing challenges to the peace. He examines humanitarian concerns, human right violations and democratization as an instrument for stabilization of war-torn sociaties as factors driving many Council decisions. The article also addresses institutional issues, including the CounciFs creation of international criminal tribunals, its relationship with the international criminal court (the Statute of which was agreed in Rome in 1998) and the slow-moving debate over Security Council reform. The author argues that Council decisions in the 1990s undermined fundamentally absolute conceptions of State sovereignty, but identifies several major challenges facing the Council (relations between the UN and the USA; Russia's role within the Council; and the UN's poor record at grappling effectively with African conflicts) at the turn of the millenium.David M. Malone dresse ici le bilan du Conseil de sécurité de l'ONU pour les années 90. Alors qu'en cette fin de décennie, l'institution onusienne semble en perte de vitesse (l'intervention au Kosovo, par exemple, s'est faite sans consultation préalable du Conseil de sécurité), une évaluation de son action, de son fonctionnement et de ses perspectives d'avenir apparaît nécessaire. David M. Malone insiste d'abord sur l'élargissement du spectre des préoccupations du Conseil qui se focalise de plus en plus sur des conflits intra-étatique s aux problématiques complexes. Considérations humanitaires, défense des droits de l'homme et promotion de la démocratie deviennent ainsi des enjeux de première importance. L'auteur s'intéresse ensuite aux questions institutionnelles qui ont traversé la décennie (modalités des prises de décision, évolutions judiciaires, ouverture aux ONG...). Il reste qu'à la veille du XXIe siècle, l'interrogation demeure quant à un certain nombre de problèmes cruciaux : les relations entre le Conseil et les Etats-Unis d'une part, et la Russie de l'autre, l'efficacité des interventions en Afrique et la réforme du Conseil lui-même. Institution incontournable et irremplaçable, le Conseil ne pourra, selon David M. Malone, sortir de l'impasse que grâce a une réaffirmation du leadership américain.Malone, Neal Mercedes.

There's Something about Jena Malone: New Insights into How Celebrities Appeal to Consumers
No full textAlthough the public demand for celebrities has grown so strong these days that they have without any doubt become an essential part of our everyday lives and contemporary market economy, the marketing literature has paid scant attention to them beyond their mere potential as product endorsers. Therefore, this paper explores how celebrities capture our attention and appeal to us personally. In doing so, it seeks to explain in particular how and why consumers become emotionally attached to one celebrity, but remain indifferent to many other equally talented, interesting and attractive ones. Drawing on introspective insights from the author’s own personal fan relationship with the film actress Jena Malone and consumer responses from previous ethnographic studies of celebrity fans, the paper examines what the substance of a celebrity is and how it appeals to the individual consumer. The study finds that the substance of a celebrity consists of four key human brand attributes through which s/he appeals to consumers as a) the performer, b) the real person underneath the performer, c) the tangible manifestation of both through products, and c) the social link to other consumers

Social foresights on Covid-19 futures: developing a NLP tool for Strategic Design Research
No full textFuture sense-making is the social activity by which people give meaning to their collective experiences in crisis situations such as the outbreak of Covid-19. Enacted in conversations and narratives, sense-making is a largely cognitive activity of framing experienced situations as meaningful. It is a collaborative process of creating shared awareness and strategic understanding about the future out of different individuals' perspectives and varied interests. If and how such social sense-making about the future translates to social communities lies within the interest of this research from a strategic design perspective. The purpose of this research is to analyze social foresights in collective sense-making about corvid-19 futures. The research will be used to inform (new) strategies of innovation and better inform response efforts of organizations. The first stage is to build the theoretical framework that informs the NLP tool for the design research on social foresights.In this paper, we show how to develop a NLP tool for strategic design research through conceptualizing a theoretical model how to analyze social foresights in collectively coping with the corvid-19 outbreak.Green Open Access added to TU Delft Institutional Repository 'You share, we take care!' - Taverne project https://www.openaccess.nl/en/you-share-we-take-care Otherwise as indicated in the copyright section: the publisher is the copyright holder of this work and the author uses the Dutch legislation to make this work public.Methodologie en Organisatie van Desig
