Social exclusion: what's in a name?
No full textThe author analyses the concept of social exclusion, arguing that the term has become a label for `another `vulnerable group' with no differentiation, complexity, agency, or resistance'. She instead suggests that we look to broader ideas of justice, participation, and citizenship, to bring the `social' aspect back into the concept, which should be more synonymous with discrimination and marginalisation than with the failure of formal (education, employment, legal etc.) systems.This article is hosted by our co-publisher Taylor & Francis.</p
Poza głosem. Postać Fenelli w świetle wystawień warszawskich z 1831 roku
No full textThe article is an attempt to describe an operatic figure deprived of a voice. Following the views of Thrasybulos G. Georgiades, who believes that an operatic character differs from a literary or a dramatic one in that it constitutes a kind of symbiosis between person and sound, the author tries to characterise a mute character. She analyses the Warsaw stagings of Daniel Auber’s opera Masaniello ou La muette de Portici from 1831. Additionally, by activating the visual imagination and relying on iconographic and book sources (including Mimika [Facial expression] by Wojciech Bogusławski), the author reconstructs the character of Fenella in the interpretation of Antonina Palczewska in order to be able to investigate how this character functioned on stage. Such a procedure allowed for an in-depth analysis of the operatic figure devoid of a voice and created by means of a combination of facial expressions and gestures. The study also takes into account the circumstances and problems related to the performance of this opera during the November Uprising.The article is an attempt to describe an operatic figure deprived of a voice.

Rippl- Rónai múzsái, híres kertjei, elveszett festményei és egy rejtélyes hamisítási ügy = Rippl-Rónai Muses, Famous Gardens, Lost Paintings and a Mysterious Forgery Case
No full textThe author published different short studies and stories about József Rippl-Rónai’s biography and his works. An obscure document was also published about the origin of his house which known in Kaposvár as Róma villa. It is the first time to compile Lazarine’s biography, French-born wife
of the painter in which her tapestry of artistic activities was reviewed. Due to the modern style innovations, „Fifty drawings” titled and published by Rippl-Rónai in 1913 was also reported. In these studies, the English Fenella Lowell appeared as a model, who inspired nude women oil-paintings of Rippl-Rónai. An unknown letter from Rippl-Rónai’s daughter, the German-born Amélie Feigl was documented. An Rippl-Rónai’s counterfeiting pastel was storied which was happened at the end of the artist’s life (1927) during his illness
"You are too ethnic, you are too national": Dual identity denial and dual identification
No full textEthnic minorities tend to develop dual identities and therefore can face identity denials from two groups. We examine in two studies the relation between dual identity and experiences of dual identity denial as misgivings or a manifested mistrust of one's group membership from both majority and minority group members. Based on identity integration and threat literature, identity denial represents a threat to dual identity which means that stronger dual identity denial can be expected to be associated with lower dual identity (a negative association). In contrast, based on identity enactment literature, stronger expression of one's dual identity can be expected to elicit stronger identity denial (a positive association). These two contrasting hypotheses were examined in two studies (Study 1 = 474; Study 2 = 820) among ethnic minorities in the Netherlands. The results from both studies offer greater support for the identity enactment model and illustrate the complexities associated with having a dual identity.This research was funded by a fellowship to the first author by the Fonds de recherche du Qu´ebec: Soci´et´e et culture (Grant number: 2018-B3-209603).

Conversion, continuity, and moral dilemmas among Christian Bidayuhs in Malaysian Borneo
No full textThis is the author's final version of the article (under the title "Speaking of continuity... Religious change and moral dilemmas among Christian Bidayuhs in Malaysian Borneo"). The final publication is available from the link below. Copyright @ 2012 by the American Anthropological Association.The nascent anthropology of Christianity highlights rupture as central to conversion. Yet thick ethnography of a Bidayuh village in Malaysian Borneo reveals how conversion can also foster modes of thinking and speaking about continuity between Christianity and “the old ways.” Through a study of the shifting moral and religious topography of a community in which three churches coexist alongside a few elderly animist practitioners, I argue that such discourses and practices of continuity highlight the pluralistic and sometimes contradictory nature of Christianization. At the same time, they generate an understanding of conversion as a temporal and relational positioning that encompasses both converts and nonconverts.William Wyse Fund, Evans Fund, Smuts Memorial Fund, and Sir Bartle

Online learning: narratives of (dis) location
No full textThe growth in using ICT to plan more effective learning in higher education necessitates a critical appropriation of the impact of ‘transactional immediacy’ on students’ experiences of online learning and teaching. As institutions attempt to counter the effect of ‘transactional distance’ by exploring opportunities offered by asynchronous and synchronous online learning environments, the ‘immediacy’ of online education is often valorised. ‘Transactional immediacy’ in online learning can result in experiences of disorientation and dissonance. These experiences, though, are not necessarily negative.
This paper shares findings from a study of students’ online journals in the Professional Certificate in Management, offered by the OU Business School. The study found ample evidence of a variety of dislocations which students experience, but also a variety of locating strategies employed by students to deal with the multifaceted disequilibrium some experience in learning online. This dislocation can be technological, epistemological and ontological. In their learning journals, students reflect on such experiences, but also document a variety of strategies to self-author. This paper aims to provide a theoretical foundation for the notion of (dis)location in online learning; presents qualitative research findings regarding the (dis)locating experiences of students, and shares ideas for the design of online learning experiences within a hermeneutical framework of (dis)location.
The findings have implications for the design, management and administration of online learning, and specifically for the use of online learning journals
Synthemis ariadne * Yiambe Lieftinck 1975
No full textSynthemis ariadne Lieftinck, 1975 (Fig. 60) Synthemis ariadne Lieftinck, 1975: 160. Distribution (Fig. 61). Endemic to Grande Terre. This species is known from six localities spread along the central range. Winstanley (1984c) collected the first female in November–December 1981. Its apparent rarity is probably due to its early flight period, from mid-October to late December, a time of the year collectors seldom search for Odonata. Habitat. Synthemis ariadne frequents mountain creeks and streams, covered by forests, on non-ultramafic soil. FIGURE 62. Synthemis campioni: a) male, b) female. Biology and behaviour. The biology of this species is little known. Its final stadium larvae, described by supposition (Winstanley 1984b; Fleck 2005), lives in small creeks and their tributaries. Hiding among rocks, it may occasionally be found with S. fenella Campion, 1921. Emergence occurs not far above water surface (Winstanley 1984b). Fleck (2005) reared several larval stages in laboratory conditions without obtaining any adults because its development was so slow. This author concluded that the larval development takes at least four years. Status. Synthemis ariadne is known from a very few localities scattered over the main island. Although its habitat is not immediately threatened, we rank it EN, because of its rarity.Published as part of Grand, Daniel, Marinov, Milen, Jourdan, Herve, Cook, Carl, Rouys, Sophie, Mille, Christian & Theuerkauf, Jörn, 2019, Distribution, habitats, phenology and conservation of New Caledonian Odonata, pp. 1-112 in Zootaxa 4640 (1) on pages 60-63, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4640.1, http://zenodo.org/record/334224
