‘He Sang the Story’ Narrative and Poetic Identity in Keats’s Work
No full textStory-telling is a mode central to the practice and achievement of John Keats. In ‘Sleep and Poetry’, he refers to life as ‘The reading of an ever-changing tale’. This line suggests his sense of the centrality of narrative to human experiences. Yet the Keatsian narrative is as a medium for Keats to investigate the nature and development of his poetic identity. His idea of poetry and of the poet, and his narrative figuring of himself as a poet are my subject, as they are his, when in the phrase the thesis takes for its title Keats writes of a poet in Endymion, ‘He sang the story up into the air’ (II, 838).
Recent scholarship has interpreted Keats’s narrative techniques in different ways. Critical approaches have modified the Bloomian concept of the anxiety of influence by using a reader response approach, or have taken on board or swerved from a McGannian New Historicist perspective. In the process Keats’s formal achievement, once celebrated by critics such as Walter Jackson Bate and Helen Vendler, has received comparatively little attention. This thesis, adopting ideas and approaches associated with narratology (including its application to lyric poetry), analyses Keats’s poetic career, focusing on the poetry’s narrative techniques and its treatment of the narrator’s role. My approach might be described as aiming to accomplish a ‘poetics of attention’.
This thesis consists of eight chapters. Chapter one discusses ‘I stood tip-toe upon a little hill’ and ‘Sleep and Poetry’, poems that are crucial in understanding Keats’s use of narrative to explore his poetic identity. In chapter two, concentrating on Endymion’s enactment of imaginative struggle, I attempt to show the purposeful function of the poem’s ‘wandering’ and complex narrative structure, which allows Keats space to develop and examine his beliefs about mythology, beauty, and visionary quest. Chapters three and four examine narrative techniques and the narrator’s role in ‘Isabella; or, The Pot of Basil’ and ‘The Eve of St. Agnes’ as Keats questions the nature and function of ‘old Romance’, even as he employs it, thus bringing a modern self-consciousness to bear on his task. Chapters five and six are devoted to the narrativity shown in the odes. Such an exploration of the ‘lyric narrative’ seeks to shed new light on our understanding of Keats’s odes. Chapter seven considers the ambivalence that Keats creates in ‘Lamia’. Lamia’s enigmatic identity as a woman and a serpent makes the narrative complex and the narrator perplexed. Chapter eight analyses ‘Hyperion: A Fragment’ and ‘The Fall of Hyperion: A Dream’, arguing that Keats uses these two poems as narratives to explore his idea of poetry and of the poet.
In his short creative life, Keats demonstrates different and various narrative skills. These narrative skills shape his ideas and ideals of poetry as well as of the poet. Via his use of narrative, we are able to see the evolution of his poetic identity. He presents himself as what he recommended a poet should be, a shape-changing figure, who might be best described as a ‘camelion Poet’
“I don’t want her to miss a thing”: The punishment inflicted to Lamia (Greek mythology) and Ellaria Sand (Game of Thrones)
No full textThe aim of this paper is to analyse two characters who suffered the punishment of not being allowed to close their eyes so as to retain in their retinas the image of the loss of their children: Lamia and Ellaria Sand. The first one, Lamia, is a Greek mythological or folklore character punished by Hera for having an affair with her husband, Zeus. The second one is Ellaria Sand, from the series Game of Thrones (seventh season, third episode, titled “The Queen’s Justice”), who was robbed of her daughter Tyene by Cersei Lannister in King’s Landing. In this paper, the author will also point out the similarities and differences between the two scenarios. For this purpose, she will consider the characters’ antecedents and evolution after being punished with the impossibility of closing their eyes.The aim of this paper is to analyse two characters who suffered the punishment of not being allowed to close their eyes so as to retain in their retinas the image of the loss of their children: Lamia and Ellaria Sand.

The Influence of eWOM Credibility on Visit Intention: An Integrative Moderated Mediation Model
No full textPurpose: This study examines the process by which eWOM susceptibility moderates the strength of indirect links between the perceived credibility of eWOM messages and the intention to visit a destination via the destination image and the perceived usefulness of these messages. Methods: The research hypotheses were tested according to structural equations modelling and Hayes procedure, which made it possible to study simultaneously and rigorously the mediating and moderating effects, and to have a clear view on the model fittness. Results: The results indicate that the mediation links of the destination image on the relationship between perceived credibility and intention to visit a destination, are moderated by the susceptibility of the eWOM (the comments generated by Internet users or the sharing of tourists' experiences on Facebook). This study also indicates that the relationship between the perceived credibility of the eWOM and the intentions to visit a destination is mediated by the usefulness of the eWOM messages and the destination image. Implications: Tourism practitioners seeking to attract tourists can use the eWOM as a communication technique for product and/or service recommendations. Given the powerful influence of the eWOM, it should not be ignored or misused, but managed to improve the effectiveness of marketing strategies in hospitality, tourism and travel

Improve the forecasting accuracy of a GARCH model using a decomposition method
No full textAbstract: In recent years, there has been a greater emphasis on the forecasting accuracy of heteroscedastic models. Instead of estimating the returns volatility using a generalised autoregressive conditional heteroscedastic model ( model), this study separates the returns internal components from the external trend first using a decomposition method called “external trend and internal components analysis method” (ETICA), then estimates the returns volatility using a . The study's goal is to determine whether this separation has an effect on the prediction accuracy of the volatility of S&P 500, NASDAQ and Dow Jones stock indices. To explore the ETICA method effect, the root mean squared error has been used to compare the prediction accuracy before and after decomposition. The findings show that on average, the RMSE results were found to be lower before decomposition which means that stock returns had a higher prediction accuracy.
Keywords: GARCH model, decomposition method, S&P 500, NASDAQ, Dow Jones, RMSE.

Généralisation du commerce transfrontalier : petit ici, notable là-bas
No full textThe Generalization of Business with the Old Country: the Little Guy at Home is Prominent Abroad
Lamia MISSAOUI
Based on a survey of the North African population which patronizes the shops of Belsunce, in Marseille, conducted in the shops and commerces themselves and in public housing in Lyon, Saint-Etienne, Valence, Avignon, Nimes, Toulouse, and Perpignan, the author demonstrates:
— an increasingly widespread tendency for migrants to have two distinct social identities: a relatively insignificant economic and social status in France, and a highly respected social position in the old country due to profitable micro-investment;
— the decisive role of the transformation of Belsunce into a device of the « Mediterranean colonial trading post » type (as defined by Fernand Braudel), in this generalization of ways of growing rich in the old country, that is, of the success of the original migratory plan. The radical alterity of the underground economic network connected to Belsunce has, in recent years, produced wealth and social recognition well beyond that typically achieved by Marseille's North African shopkeepers, and has enabled collectively what attempts at French integration have failed to do except in a few individual cases;
— the great abyss between this development and fundamentalist Islamic influence: the underground economy based on profiting from the wealth differential between northern and southern nations requires the development of multi-ethnic, multi-cultural, and multi-religious networks in order to make trade possible on the basis of the code of honor of a promise made between Turks, Poles, Lebanese, Italians, North Africans, and Black Africans, etc. That is, the description of the characteristics of North African otherness currently put forward by the media is the opposite of reality.Généralisation du commerce transfrontalier : petit ici, notable là-bas

A partir d'une enquête menée auprès de la population maghrébine des clients des commerces de Belsunce, à Marseille, d'une part sur les lieux mêmes d'achat et d'autre part dans des logements sociaux à Lyon, Saint-Etienne, Valence, Avignon, Nîmes, Toulouse et Perpignan, l'auteur met en évidence :
— la réalité de plus en plus généralisée des doubles situations des migrants : plus petits statuts économiques et sociaux en France, notables dans leurs pays d'origine, grâce à des micro-investissements productifs ;
— le rôle déterminant de la transformation de Belsunce en dispositif du type « comptoir commercial colonial méditerranéen » (au sens donné par F. Braudel à cette expression), dans cette généralisation des formes d'enrichissement là-bas, c'est-à-dire de réussite du projet migratoire originel. L'altérité radicale de l'économie souterraine de réseaux à partir de Belsunce fait, depuis quelques années, de plus en plus richesse et société bien au-delà des seuls commerçants maghrébins de Marseille et permet collectivement ce que les tentatives d'intégration françaises n'ont pu réaliser au-delà de quelques trajectoires singulières ;
— la forte distance de cette évolution par rapport à l'influence islamiste intégriste : cette économie souterraine basée sur l'exploitation du différentiel frontalier de richesse entre nations du nord et du sud exige le développement des réseaux pluriethniques, pluriculturels, pluri-religieux afin de rendre possible l'échange à partir du code d'honneur de la parole donée, entre Turcs, Polonais, Libanais, Italiens, Maghrébins, Noirs-Africains... C'est-à-dire l'inverse des descriptions médiatiques des caractéristiques de l'altérité maghrébine actuellement en vigueur.Generalización del comercio transfronterizo : pequeño aquí, notable allá
Lamia MISSAOUI
A partir de una encuesta realizada, entre la población de clientes magrebinos de los negocios de Belsunce en Marsella, por una parte en los lugares mismo de compra y por otra en viviendas sociales en Lyon, Saint-Etienne, Valence, Avignon, Nîmes, Toulouse y Perpignan, el autor pone en evidencia :
— la realidad cada vez muás generalizada de la doble situacion de los migrantes : status sociales miy bajos en Francia, notables en sus países de origen, gracias a micro-inversiones productivas ;
— el papel determinante de la transformación de Belsunce en dispositivo de tipo « mostrador comercial colonial » mediterráneo (en el sentido dado por F. Braudel a esta expresión), en esta generalización de formas de enriquecimienlo « allá », es decir el logro del proyecto migratorio original. La alteridad radical de la economía subterránea o submergida de las redes partiendo de Belsunce genera, desde hace algunos años, cada vez más riqueza y sociedad más allá de los comerciantes magrebinos de Marsella y permite colectivamente lo que las tentativas de integración francesa no han podido lograr fuera de algunas trayectorias singulares ;
— la gran distancia de esta evolución con respecta a la influencia islámica integrista : esta economía subterránea basada en la explotación del diferencial fronterizo de riqueza entre las naciones del norte y del sur exige el desarrollo de redes pluriétnicas, pluriculturales, pluri-religiosas, con el fin de hacer posible el intercambio a partir del « código de honor y de la palabra dada » entre turcos, polacos, libaneses, italianos, magrebinos, negro-africanos. Es decir lo contrario de las descripciones de los medios de comunicación de las características de alteridad magrebina actualmente en vigor.Missaoui Lamia.

Serial Mediation Of Perceived Usefulness And Ewom Adoption In Virtual Communities And The Moderating Effect Of Gender
No full textPurpose – This study analyzes the adoption behavior of eWOM information from the consumer’s
perspective. In virtual communities, this study examines the serial mediation of perceived
usefulness and adoption of eWOM between eWOM characteristics (credibility, quality, and
vivacity) and the intention to visit a tourist destination and gender as a moderator. This study
makes a significant theoretical and practical contribution by the purpose of an integrative
model, according to the ELM model, and by examining the moderating effect of gender.
Design/Methodology/Approach – This study tests the hypothesis using an experimental
scenario simulation method. Signals embedded in various components of the eWOM (stimuli/
scenarios) were used, such as interactivity with the message (Like number, comment, sharing)
or the content of the message (Text, Visual, Video). The new model (based on the ELM
model) was validated by PLS-SEM based on an online survey of 548 members of the virtual
consumption communities where content shared is about tourism and hospitality, tourism
experiences, and recommendations of Algerian tourist destinations.
Findings – The results confirm that perceived usefulness and adoption are two serial mediators
between the relationship between eWOM characteristics and visit intention. Finally, gender
moderates the indirect effect between eWOM quality and the intention to visit.
Originality of the research – This study proposes to develop an integrative model by testing
the serial mediating effects of perceived usefulness and information adoption for the first
time regarding the influence of the three eWOM characteristics on behavioral intention and
investigates the role of gender as a moderato
The principles of responsible management education and responsible tourism strategies: Success, failure or trauma for Generation Z?
No full textThe purpose of this chapter is to present secondary data around how the Principles for Responsible Management Education (PRME) are adopted in a global context whilst making comparisons with the Travel and Tourism Competitiveness Index from the Travel and Tourism Competitiveness Report 2019. The discussion is centred around young adults (Generation Z) and their potential role and importance. In essence, we are trying to examine if tourism sustainability educational practice adopted within countries appears to transition into industry practice. For this, we consider success both from the perspective of tourism sustainability and general economic competitiveness. The findings suggest significant gaps (or current failure) between PRME delivery and achieving tourism sustainability globally, but generally highlights economic success where PRME uptake is strong. Thus, it would appear that PRME is not yet transitioning into industry practice; therefore, more needs to be done or adapted to achieve greater tourism sustainability, and we emphasise the role of Generation Z within this
