The Chaplin Machine, or Americanism in Soviet Russia
No full textRecenzja książki Owena Hatherleya The Chaplin Machine. Slapstick, Fordism and the Communist Avant-Garde (2016). Strożek omawia główne idee pracy Hatherleya, który pod postacią terminu „Chaplin (slapstick) Machine (tayloryzm-fordyzm)” analizuje wizje amerykanizmu i amerykańskiego snu w kulturze lewicowych awangard, zwracając tym samym uwagę na znaczenie wyobrażeń Ameryki dla kształtowania nowej proletariackiej kultury w duchu konstruktywizmu. Recenzent pokazuje, w jak konsekwentny sposób brytyjski autor analizuje zależności między dwiema wielkimi triadami: slapstick – tayloryzm-fordyzm – amerykanizm = cyrk – komunizm – konstruktywizm, kreśląc interesujące relacje między tym, co amerykańskie, a tym, co rosyjskie w obszarze nowego myślenia o kulturze lat 20. i 30.Book review of Owen Hatherley’s The Chaplin Machine: Slapstick, Fordism and the Communist Avant-Garde (2016). Strożek discusses the main ideas of Hatherley’s work, who, using the term “Chaplin (slapstick) Machine (taylorism-fordism)” examines the visions of Americanism and American dream in the left-wing avant-garde culture, paying attention to the importance of how America was imagined in the shaping of a new proletarian culture in a constructive spirit. The reviewer shows how in a con- sistent manner the British author analyses the relationship between two great triads: slapstick - taylorism-fordism - americanism = circus - communism - constructivism, drawing interesting links between the American and the Russian elements in the area of new thinking about culture of the 1920s and 1930s

PhD dissertation -Summary. The birth of comedy: Chaplin and the ontology of comic aesthetics
No full textEl artículo presenta una síntesis de los objetivos, métodos y conclusiones de la tesis doctoral de la autora, que tiene como objeto de estudio el cine de Charles Chaplin. Utilizando una metodología que parte de la mitocrítica hacia un análisis directo de las imágenes, se investigan los orígenes de la comedia a través de personaje Charlot, estructurando el imaginario chaplinesco en tres grandes epifanías, que van a representar tres grandes rasgos del género cómico: el Charlot burlesco, el Charlot patético y Monsieur Verdoux. Entre las principales aportaciones, se demuestra cómo el mito de Hermes funda la comedia en la cultura occidental, cómo el cine de Chaplin se erige como su más grande epifanía, y cómo Chaplin, contrariando la concepción aristotélica, logra elevar la comedia a un status sublime.This article presents a synthesis of the goals, methods, and conclusions of the PhD dissertation of its author, who studies the films by Charles Chaplin. Using a methodology based on myth-criticism and deriving into a direct analysis of images, the origins of comedy are studied through the character of Charlot, structuring his universe into three major epiphanies, which represent three large features of the comic genre: mocking Charlot, pathetic Charlot and Monsieur Verdoux. One of the main contributions of this project is to show how the myth of Hermes founds comedy in Western culture, how Chaplin’s cinema becomes his most significant epiphany, and how Chaplin goes against the Aristotelian standard elevating comedy to a sublime status

Nostalgia: content, triggers, functions
No full textSeven methodologically diverse studies addressed 3 fundamental questions about nostalgia. Studies 1 and 2 examined the content of nostalgic experiences. Descriptions of nostalgic experiences typically featured the self as a protagonist in interactions with close others (e.g., friends) or in momentous events (e.g., weddings). Also, the descriptions contained more expressions of positive than negative affect and often depicted the redemption of negative life scenes by subsequent triumphs. Studies 3 and 4 examined triggers of nostalgia and revealed that nostalgia occurs in response to negative mood and the discrete affective state of loneliness. Studies 5, 6, and 7 investigated the functional utility of nostalgia and established that nostalgia bolsters social bonds, increases positive self-regard, and generates positive affect. These findings demarcate key landmarks in the hitherto uncharted research domain of nostalgi
Detection rates of recurrent prostate cancer: Gallium (Ga)-labelled prostate-specific membrane antigen choline PET/CT scans. A systematic review
No full textBackground: The aim of this work was to assess the use of prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA)-labelled radiotracers in detecting the recurrence of prostate cancer. PSMA is thought to have higher detection rates when utilized in positron emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography (CT) scans, particularly at lower prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels, compared with choline-based scans. Methods: A systematic review was conducted comparing choline and PSMA PET/CT scans in patients with recurrent prostate cancer following an initial curative attempt. The primary outcomes were overall detection rates, detection rates at low PSA thresholds, difference in detection rates and exclusive detection rates on a per-person analysis. Secondary outcome measures were total number of lesions, exclusive detection by each scan on a per-lesion basis and adverse side effects. Results: Overall detection rates were 79.8% for PSMA and 66.7% for choline. There was a statistically significant difference in detection rates favouring PSMA [OR (M–H, random, 95% confidence interval (CI)) 2.27 (1.06, 4.85), p = 0.04]. Direct comparison was limited to PSA < 2 ng/ml in two studies, with no statistically significant difference in detection rates between the scans [OR (M–H, random, 95% CI) 2.37 (0.61, 9.17) p = 0.21]. The difference in detection on the per-patient analysis was significantly higher in the PSMA scans ( p < 0.00001). All three studies reported higher lymph node, bone metastasis and locoregional recurrence rates in PSMA. Conclusions: PSMA PET/CT has a better performance compared with choline PET/CT in detecting recurrent disease both on per-patient and per-lesion analysis and should be the imaging modality of choice while deciding on salvage and nonsystematic metastasis-directed therapy strategies
Silent traces : discovering early Hollywood through the films of Charlie Chaplin /
