The Authenticity Of Business Simulations In Esp: Implications For Materials Design, Diana Phillips, Jonathan Clifton Dec 2007

The Authenticity Of Business Simulations In Esp: Implications For Materials Design, Diana Phillips, Jonathan Clifton

Global Business Languages

In this article we set out how authentic materials for a performance appraisal simulation help MBA students—both full-time and professionals—to acquire the linguistic and management skills that they will need to carry out a practical business task. The simulation was designed for a course in Management Communication that has been taught as part of the MBA course at the University of Antwerp Management School (UAMS) and the Executive MBA courses at the University of Warsaw and the Institute of Business Studies in Moscow. The design of these materials will be explained with reference to the notion of authenticity.


Literary And Cinematic Responses To The Crime Story In Contemporary France, Deborah Streifford Reisinger Dec 2007

Literary And Cinematic Responses To The Crime Story In Contemporary France, Deborah Streifford Reisinger

CLCWeb: Comparative Literature and Culture

In her paper, "Literary and Cinematic Responses to the Crime Story in Contemporary France," Deborah Streifford Reisinger examines society's relationship to violence in an era of increased media dominance. Reisinger's interdisciplinary approach integrates media, cinema, and literary studies to analyze how the crime story functions as a site of discursive struggle. Reisinger focuses on the sensational Paulin and Succo affairs that became mobile signifiers about crime, insecurity and the Other in France in the 1980s. By situating these crime stories in a larger historical and political context, she analyzes how media and politicians use the crime story as a tool …


Chinese Feminisms And Adaptation-As-Translation Readings Of Letter From An Unknown Woman, Jinhua Li Dec 2007

Chinese Feminisms And Adaptation-As-Translation Readings Of Letter From An Unknown Woman, Jinhua Li

CLCWeb: Comparative Literature and Culture

In her paper, "Chinese Feminisms and Adaptation-as-Translation Readings of Letter from an Unknown Woman," Jinhua Li investigates the complex cultural and political issues engendered by an increasingly popular phenomenon of transnational film adaptations. Through a comparative reading of Jinglei Xu's 2004 adaptation of Stefan Zweig's novella Brief einer Unbekannten (Letter From an Unknown Woman), Jinhua Li argues that the adaptation-as-translation approach, as a valuable theoretical model for feminist cultural studies of Eastern-Western dynamics, allows the film to be read not only as a "translated/adapted" literary discourse that functions on different narrative levels, but also as a trope for the reimagination …


Unreliable Narration Through Representations Of The Grotesque In Lagerkvist's The Dwarf, Nitya Morales Vázquez Dec 2007

Unreliable Narration Through Representations Of The Grotesque In Lagerkvist's The Dwarf, Nitya Morales Vázquez

CLCWeb: Comparative Literature and Culture

Nitya Morales Vázquez, in her paper "Unreliable Narration through Representations of the Grotesque in Lagerkvist's The Dwarf," begins with the hypothesis that most direct expression of ideology in discourse is found in the semantics of discourse. In literature, one can analyze this ideology by examining whether the narration is reliable or whether it is unreliable. Based on these presuppositions, Morales Vázquez analyses discourse in Pär Fabian Lagerkvist's novel, The Dwarf. Morales Vázquez argues that through the use of the conceptual frames of characterization, voice, and focalization the dwarf's character offers an unreliable narration. Through representations present in the novel, Morales …

Gustav Shpet's Literary And Theatre Theory, Galin Tihanov Dec 2007

Gustav Shpet's Literary And Theatre Theory, Galin Tihanov

CLCWeb: Comparative Literature and Culture

In his paper, "Gustav Shpet's Literary and Theatre Theory," Galin Tihanov introduces Shpet's theoretical work on literature and theatre, until recently little studied. Neither has been sufficient attention paid to Shpet's overall presence on the Russian cultural scene in the 1910s-1930s. As a result, our knowledge and appreciation of the scope of his writings and the variety of Russian literary and theatre life in the first third of the twentieth century have remained less rich and well-informed than they could otherwise have been. Tihanov explains that Shpet's participation in contemporary literature and theatre assumed different forms: he wrote both from …

Mapreduce With Communication Overlap (Marco), Faraz Ahmad, Seyong Lee, Mithuna Thottethodi, T. N. Vijaykumar

Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering Technical Reports

MapReduce is a programming model from Google for
cluster-based computing in domains such as search
engines, machine learning, and data mining. MapReduce
provides automatic data management and fault tolerance to
improve programmability of clusters. MapReduce’s execution
model includes an all-map-to-all-reduce communication,
called the shuffle, across the network bisection. Some
MapReductions move large amounts of data (e.g., as much
as the input data), stressing the bisection bandwidth and
introducing significant runtime overhead. Optimizing such
shuffle-heavy MapReductions is important because (1)
they include key applications (e.g., inverted indexing for
search engines and data clustering for machine learning)
and (2) they run longer …
