Les Miroirs De La Contestation, Bamchade Pourvali Mar 2024

Les Miroirs De La Contestation, Bamchade Pourvali

Regards

The 2022-2023 uprising reminded us of the role of images in Iranian protest. Whether in the recent period, since 2009, or earlier, with the advent of the Islamic Republic in 1979, images have often played a leading role, going beyond mere testimony to play a part in the unfolding of events. In this article, we would like to look back at three dates: 1979, 2009 and 2022-2023, examining the ways in which images are produced and disseminated to see if it is possible to establish a link between the nature of the protest and its visual representation. It would seem …


Corporéités Rebelles : « La Voix De La Femme En Iran » (2020), Un Film D’Andreas Rochholl, Olfa Daoud Mar 2024

Corporéités Rebelles : « La Voix De La Femme En Iran » (2020), Un Film D’Andreas Rochholl, Olfa Daoud

Regards

In this article, we analyze Andreas Rochholl’s documentary The Voice of Women in Iran, which presents the courageous stand of Iranian women singers for their freedom of artistic expression, despite political and cultural barriers. The film highlights their unwavering determination to let their voices be heard, challenging the strict restrictions imposed by the ruling power and the customs of a society dominated by patriarchy. This struggle is underlined by a cinematic mise-en-scène that glorifies the actresses’ bodies and voices, embodying a “rebellious corporeity” that manifests their resistance. This representation generates deep empathy in viewers and stimulates critical reflection. Our …


Langue Vernaculaire, Image Universelle : De La Fiction Arménienne Au Liban, Hratch Tokatlian Mar 2024

Langue Vernaculaire, Image Universelle : De La Fiction Arménienne Au Liban, Hratch Tokatlian

Regards

The number of Armenians in Lebanon exceeded one hundred thousand inhabitants before 1975, the date of the start of the civil war. Currently, the Armenian community of Lebanon is endangered, particularly due to its language and the current demographic decline. In 2010, UNESCO included Western Armenian on the list of endangered languages. The same year, filmmaker Vatché Boulghourjian directed a fiction film in Western Armenian, The Fifth Column. The film has a significant cinematic language both by its content and its form. The usage of the Western Armenian language by the characters within the film reframes the plot in …


Expectations Towards Aging Among Filipino University Students: Educating The Younger Generations To Combat Ageism, Melanie Tolentino, Marcelo Savassi Kakihara Mar 2024

Expectations Towards Aging Among Filipino University Students: Educating The Younger Generations To Combat Ageism, Melanie Tolentino, Marcelo Savassi Kakihara

Asia-Pacific Social Science Review

The study determined the effect of an online educational webinar on young Filipino’s expectations toward aging. Students from social sciences-related programs and engineering/business programs of a state university in the Philippines were recruited to join an intervention group and a passive control group, respectively. Data was obtained in two time points for both groups through the Expectations Toward Aging Questionnaire (ERA-12). Results showed that the intervention group’s baseline scores improved significantly compared to the control group. Consistent with the previous studies, our data suggests that affordable and short online educational interventions may be effective in reducing ageism among young university …


Convergence Or Divergence? An Exploratory Study On Urban Malays And Indigenous People In Kuala Lumpur And Kuching, Syaza Farhana Mohamad Shukri, Mohd Shazani Masri Mar 2024

Convergence Or Divergence? An Exploratory Study On Urban Malays And Indigenous People In Kuala Lumpur And Kuching, Syaza Farhana Mohamad Shukri, Mohd Shazani Masri

Asia-Pacific Social Science Review

Malaysia has been celebrated as a diverse nation since 1963. However, interethnic relations remain difficult as distrust appears to continue between the majority Malays and minority groups. This is the common narrative in Peninsular Malaysia. In East Malaysia, there is no clear ethnic majority population, which is also the case in Sarawak. Although the government has usually grouped together the Malays and indigenous people for nation-building purposes, it must be noted that the different backgrounds create a heterogeneous “majority” in Malaysia. This diversity may even explain the different views among the Malays in Kuala Lumpur and in Kuching, Sarawak regarding …

Randomized Controlled Trial Of The Cmr Immersive Virtual Reality (Ivr) Headset Training Compared To E-Learning For Operating Room Configuration Of The Cmr Versius Robot, Catherine L Eley, Varun Palaniappan, Abbie Carter, Opeyemi Sogaolu, James Horwood, Michael Davies, Jared Torkington, James Ansell

Faculty, Staff and Student Publications

Robotic surgery offers potential advantages over laparoscopic procedures, but the training for configuring robotic systems in the operating room remains underexplored. This study seeks to validate immersive virtual reality (IVR) headset training for setting up the CMR Versius in the operating room. This single-blinded randomized control trial randomised medical students with no prior robotic experience using an online randomiser. The intervention group received IVR headset training, and the control group, e-learning modules. Assessors were blinded to participant group. Primary endpoint was overall score (OS): Likert-scale 1-5: 1 reflecting independent performance, with increasing verbal prompts to a maximum score of 5, …

Making The Invisible Visible: (Re)Envisioning The Black Body In Contemporary Adaptations Of Nineteenth-Century Fiction, Urshela Wiggins Mckinney Mar 2024

Making The Invisible Visible: (Re)Envisioning The Black Body In Contemporary Adaptations Of Nineteenth-Century Fiction, Urshela Wiggins Mckinney

USF Tampa Graduate Theses and Dissertations

A trend in neo-Victorian adaptations -- both novels and films-- that reimage, and at times reinterpret, canonical Victorian texts is the inclusion of nonwhite, mainly Black, perspectives, which has gained considerable traction in recent years. A vital aspect of this trend is the purposeful attempt to re-establish iconic Victorian characters through Black characterizations. In doing so, filmmakers and authors are reinvigorating familiar texts to provide an inclusionary space for the Black experience previously ignored in the original texts. These adaptations, which revisit and often reinterpret Victorian fiction, have undergone notable transformations by incorporating Black characters to fill voids in traditional …

It's Real, It Just Hasn't Happened Yet: A Three-Article Dissertation On Emerging Technologies In Higher Education, Jeanette Abrahamsen Mar 2024

It's Real, It Just Hasn't Happened Yet: A Three-Article Dissertation On Emerging Technologies In Higher Education, Jeanette Abrahamsen

USF Tampa Graduate Theses and Dissertations

The purpose of this three-article dissertation is to better understand the role emerging technologies are playing in learning. This dissertation explores tools on a spectrum of reality from fully immersive virtual reality (VR), semi-immersive VR, non-immersive VR, augmented reality (AR), mixed reality (MR), and extended reality (XR). Three studies focus on emerging technologies from the student, educator, researcher perspectives to develop a holistic picture of emerging technologies in higher education. I explore factors that impact new technology adoption, which includes advantages and disadvantages to deploying different digital tools. This dissertation begins with a systematic literature review of 20 research studies …


‘In This Prison We Have Our Main Meal At 11:30 Am’. The Significance Of ‘Time’ For Food Among People Serving Custodial Sentences In England And Wales, Julie M. Parsons Mar 2024

‘In This Prison We Have Our Main Meal At 11:30 Am’. The Significance Of ‘Time’ For Food Among People Serving Custodial Sentences In England And Wales, Julie M. Parsons

School of Law, Humanities and Social Sciences

In this article, I am thinking through the social life of time for food in prison from a practice theory perspective. I draw upon empirical data from in-depth qualitative interviews with people serving custodial sentences or recently released from prison in England and Wales who have been on placement at a prisoner resettlement charity (RC). These support findings from Her Majesty’s Inspectorate for Prisons report on Life Inside: Food from 2016, and I consider two aspects from the report, (i) an exploration of the standards and conditions in which food is consumed and (ii) the timings of mealtimes. For people …


Exploring The Underlying Barriers For The Successful Transition For Women From Higher Education To Employment In Egypt: A Focus Group Study, Muhammad Qasim Rana, Shadia Fahim, Mohammed Saad, Angela Lee, Olugbenga Timo Oladinrin, Lekan Damilola Ojo Mar 2024

Exploring The Underlying Barriers For The Successful Transition For Women From Higher Education To Employment In Egypt: A Focus Group Study, Muhammad Qasim Rana, Shadia Fahim, Mohammed Saad, Angela Lee, Olugbenga Timo Oladinrin, Lekan Damilola Ojo

School of Art, Design and Architecture

Education is the foundation of culture and the engine of economies; it is an essential part of life. However, it remains inaccessible or unavailable in some parts of developing nations. Moreover, such barriers for girls and women can extend beyond education and into the workplace, and this is a bone of contention based on erroneous beliefs and other factors. Barriers for girls’ and women’s education are debatable in the literature; however, there is a sparsity of literature that focuses on the bridge to the workplace. Therefore, through a focus group study, this study explores the barriers that prohibit the transition …


From Punchlines To Pesto To Prada: Exploring Intellectual Property’S Negative Space, Michael Ecker Mar 2024

From Punchlines To Pesto To Prada: Exploring Intellectual Property’S Negative Space, Michael Ecker

Cardozo Arts & Entertainment Law Journal (AELJ) Blog

Intellectual property (“IP”) law serves as the protective cornerstone for the creative industries—an especially important one at a time when unprecedented global connectivity links so many and in the process, so greatly heightens the potential for improper takings. Yet, a growing body of legal scholarship delves into a fascinating counterpoint: the “negative space” of IP. As Kal Raustiala and Christopher Sprigman posit in their Article, The Piracy Paradox, these creative endeavors “remain creative (and consequently do not require protection) precisely because they exhibit positionality sufficiently strong that it provokes a constant stream of new innovation.” This space encompasses creative fields …

Surveying Eighty-Year-Old Battlefields In Solomon Islands, Simon Conway Mar 2024

Surveying Eighty-Year-Old Battlefields In Solomon Islands, Simon Conway

The Journal of Conventional Weapons Destruction

Surveying battlefield sites and abandoned ammunition depots eighty years after a conflict presents a challenge. There are few living witnesses, and the land has often changed beyond recognition. In Solomon Islands, the situation is exacerbated by a combination of familiarity and lack of information. Civilians have grown accustomed to the presence of ordnance and concluded that the problem is intractable. At the same time, it is not known how many people have died or been injured because of unexploded ordnance (UXO) and abandoned (AXO) ordnance. Nor is it known where the accidents occurred or what the victims were doing at …

Deleuze’S Challenge To Hegel’S Aesthetics—Chinese Aesthetics In The Confrontation Between German Classical Aesthetics And Postmodernism, Wu Yuyu Mar 2024

Deleuze’S Challenge To Hegel’S Aesthetics—Chinese Aesthetics In The Confrontation Between German Classical Aesthetics And Postmodernism, Wu Yuyu

CLCWeb: Comparative Literature and Culture

German classical aesthetics, featuring a systematic analysis of concepts and theories, plays a fundamental role in the founding of Chinese modern aesthetics. From the 1980s, when the spread of Western theories began to flourish, Chinese scholars assimilated deconstructionist thought (for example, that of Deleuze) and started to reflect on German classical aesthetics as represented by Kant and Hegel. Chinese aesthetics presents various characteristics in the confrontation between German classical aesthetics and French deconstructionist thought. From the perspective of German classical aesthetics, China has no philosophy, tragedy, or system. The Chinese culture became a thinking resource for criticizing essentialism and dualism …

Wole Soyinka: A Life Of Arts And Advocacy, Maggie Feduccia Mar 2024

Wole Soyinka: A Life Of Arts And Advocacy, Maggie Feduccia

[Archive] Belmont University Research Symposium (BURS)

The life and work of playwright, novelist, and activist Wole Soyinka (born in 1934) serves as a perfect example of the marriage of the arts and advocacy, through the telling of stories of the Nigerian people. Soyinka grew up surrounded by Christianity, Islam, and the tribal religion of the Yoruba people. Additionally, Soyinka’s parents exposed him to Nigerian and other West African literature, Western literature, and ancient Greek drama. Soyinka’s intellect was formed at the intersection of these various theologies and literary traditions, and further developed through studies at the University of Ibadan and the University of Leeds, from where …
