Literary communication as dialogue: responsibilities and pleasures in post-postmodern times : selected papers, 2003-2020/ Roger D. Sell.
No full textIncludes bibliographical references and index."As traced by Roger D. Sell, literary communication is a process of community-making. As long as literary authors and those responding to them respect each other's human autonomy, literature flourishes as an enjoyable, though often challenging mode of interaction that is truly dialogical in spirit. This gives rise to author-respondent communities whose members represent existential commonalities blended together with historical differences. These heterogeneous literary communities have a larger social significance, in that they have long served as counterweights to the hegemonic tendencies of modernity, and more recently to postmodernity's well-intentioned but restrictive politics of identity. In post-postmodern times, their ethos is increasingly one of pleasurable egalitarianism. The despondent anti-hedonism of the twentieth century intelligentia can now seem rather dated. Some of the papers selected for this volume develop Sell's ideas in mainly theoretical terms. But most of them offer detailed criticism of particular anglophone writers, ranging from Shakespeare, Ben Jonson and other poets and dramatists of the early modern period, through Wordsworth and Coleridge, to Dickens, Pinter, and Rushdie"--Intro -- Literary Communication as Dialogue -- Editorial page -- FILLM Advisory Board -- Title page -- Copyright page -- Table of contents -- Series editor's preface -- Acknowlegements -- Introduction -- 1. -- 2. -- 3. -- 4. -- 5. -- 6. -- Chapter 1.

No full textInterview with former Michigan Supreme Court Justice John D. Voelker
No full textIn an oral history interview, Michigan Supreme Court Justice and author of the novel "Anatomy of a murder", John D. Voelker, talks about growing up in Ishpeming, MI, and his education and work background, including his time as a district attorney. Voelker also discusses being appointed to the Court in 1957, running against Joseph Moynihan, Jr. for a seat that same year, how decisions are made by the justices, famous cases he heard, including People v. Hildabridle and his eventual resignation from the Court. Justice Voelker talks fondly about writing, and the books he wrote under the pseudonym Robert Traver and reads an excerpt from "Laughing whitefish" which includes a description of the Michigan Supreme Court chambers. Voelker is interviewed by Roger F. Lane.See the Michigan Supreme Court Historical Society website for more information on the life of John D. Voelker.Image courtesy of the Michigan Supreme Court Historical Society.Interviewed by Roger F.

Dialogicality and ethics
No full textNow that linguists are beginning to see an element of dialogicality in all language use, there is more scope for a humanized dialogue analysis with ameliorative goals. This can divide its labour between a communicational criticism dealing with the ethics of address, and a mediating criticism dealing with the ethics of response. In the present article, I outline the distinctive features of such an approach, and by sketching a communicational theory of literature (cf. Sell 2000) draw particular attention to the dialogicality arising between literary writers and their audience. From this starting-point, I then examine instances of four different literary genres for the light they can throw on the general ethics of address. Key terms here are “genuine communication”, by which I mean any manner of communication which respects the autonomy of the human other, and “negative capability”, defined by Keats (1954 [1817]: 53) as the capability of “being in uncertainties, Mysteries, doubts, without any irritable reaching after fact and reason”.</jats:p

iPhone Cinema and Tangerine:Imagology, actor-network theory, and the idea of trans-
No full textIn his brief statement on a new imagology (2005), Anthony Johnson outlines a wealth of issues for image scholars. Synthesizing decades of image research, Johnson also adds numerous ideas to the study if images, including concepts of resurfacings, accessibility, displacement, portability, and loss. However, he also notes that images always take material forms and provide us with (affords us) a set of sensory cues.The purpose of this article is to argue that images matter: images function as transitive verbs that take objects, a position that Johnson has eloquently argued (2015). We may extend this insight by drawing on actor-network theory — ANT — which argues in favor of assigning agency to objects as much as subjects. For ANT, translation is the mechanism of taking form, the way that a network may be represented as a single object, such as an image.Using Sean S. Baker’s movie Tangerine, I wish to extend the notion of imagology with respect to the material affordances of new media technologies. Tangerine tells the story of transgender love relationships, which is a classic example of the uses and abuses of stereotypical images. Yet the film affords us a unique set of sensory cues because of its material conditions; the film was shot using only iPhones. The film’s audiovisual style thus comes to matter in ways that allow us to tie together the three different uses of ‘trans-‘ — transitivity, translation, and transgender
A informação dada nos relatórios financeiros dos analistas portugueses
No full textMestrado em GestãoThis paper studies the importance of Portuguese financial sell-side analysts’
reports by testing reliability in firms’ Price Target calculation and information
aptitude (deliver ability) in the content of sell-side analysts’ reports.
The importance of sell-side analysts reports has long been studied, mainly in
two different perspectives: the consequences of their work (market price
reactions, trading strategies based in analysts’ recommendations) and the
externalizations that influence their work (herding and bias behaviors).
We believe that before either perspective can explain their value, analysts
through their reports should be able to deliver the information users need and
offer coherent calculation that justifies the Price Targets.
We explore and encode the complete content of 73 reports from PSI20 listed
companies, and apply consistency and reliability procedures to test them.
Informativeness is tested against an ideal report (built mainly from the Jenkins
Report conclusions).
To test reliability in the Prices Targets calculations we investigate if the method
and the parameters of the evaluation are clearly disclosed and if the calculative
procedure is according to the theoretical conventions.O presente trabalho propõe-se avaliar a importância dos analistas financeiros
Portugueses testando para isso a fiabilidade no cálculo dos Price Targets e a
capacidade informativa dos relatórios que produzem. A utilidade dos analistas
financeiros tem sido há muito estudada, por norma através de duas
perspectivas: avaliando as consequências do seu trabalho (reacção dos
mercados às suas recomendações e estratégias de investimento baseadas
nessas mesmas recomendações) e por outro lado considerando as variáveis
exógenas que influenciam o seu trabalho (comportamentos tendenciosos e de
“arrebanhamento”). Acreditamos que antes de avaliar a pertinência destas
perspectivas, importa averiguar se através dos relatórios que produzem os
analistas financeiros fornecem a informação que os seus utilizadores
necessitam.
Para isso examinamos e codificamos 73 relatórios financeiros de empresas
que integram o PSI20, testando-os em termos de informatividade e fiabilidade.
A capacidade informativa é testada em confronto com um relatório ideal
(baseado nas conclusões do Relatório Jenkins).
Para testar a confiabilidade no cálculo dos Price Targets investigamos se o
método e os parâmetros utilizados são expressos com clareza e se o processo
de cálculo está em conformidade com aquilo que são os princípios teóricos
aceites
