Nature Writing in Romania During the Post-War and Post-Communist Period
Emanuel Modoc Faculty of Letters, Babeș-Bolyai University Cluj-Napoca, Romania [email protected] NATURE WRITING IN ROMANIA DURING THE POST-WAR AND POST-COMMUNIST PERIOD Recommended Citation: Modoc, Emanuel. “Nature Writing in Romania During the Post-War and Post- Communist Period”. Metacritic Journal for Comparative Studies and Theory 3.2 (2017): https://doi.org/10.24193/mjcst.2017.4.04 Abstract: My proposal aims to investigate the changes in the Romanian literary discourse on nature and the effects of industrialization following the 1989 revolution in comparison to the ideological discourse of the post-war era. If Romanian post-war literary discourse is firmly tied to the underlying ideology of Communism, then any attempt to investigate the discourse on nature in this period must be made alongside a reading of the Communist discourse on nature. In this respect, the situation of Romanian post-1989 prose that contains aspects of the influence of Communist industrialization on nature provides an interesting case study on the effects of the post-industrial era on literature itself. Thus, my proposal will focus on a number of novels written after 1989 in an ecocritical mode of reading. Keywords: ecocriticism, nature, ideology, Romanian post-war literature, 1989 Revolution Seeing as Romanian post-war literary discourse is invariably subordinated to the Communist ideology, analysing nature writing, or any discourse on nature of this period for that matter, from an ecocritical perspective could be seen as both a productive and a fruitless endeavour. As paradoxical as it may seem, to talk about nature in Romanian Communism, and then to talk about the Communist discourse on nature implies a careful, exhaustive, and therefore productive analysis of its ideology. -

NJCU illustration faculty member, and illustrator of the baseball card Catfish Hunter, Dennis Dittrich introduced his long time friend, professor, and mentor by saying: “When someone reaches a point—and very few people do—but when someone reaches a point in their field where they are absolutely peerless—where whatever that person does cannot be duplicated, imitated, or replicated—they can go by one name.

Checking the Checking Value in the Teapot Dome Scandal
Communication Law Review Volume 15, Issue 2 (2015) Checking the Checking Value in the Teapot Dome Scandal David R. Dewberry, Ph.D. Rider University This article examines the history of journalism in the initial reporting of the Teapot Dome scandal to argue that the press falls short in fulfilling the checking value of the First Amendment. Similar arguments have been made about the press in other major scandals (e.g., Watergate, Iran-Contra, etc.). But this article exclusively focuses on the key journalistic agents in Teapot Dome including Frederick G. Bonfils and H. H. Tammen of the Denver Post, John C. Schaffer of the Rocky Mountain News, Carl Magee of New Mexico, and Paul Y. Anderson of the St. Louis Post- Dispatch, to demonstrate how they were more protagonists in the scandal, rather than members of the fourth estate. INTRODUCTION Political scandals reveal the worst and also the best of our democracy. The worst is that our public leaders have transgressed some norm or rule. The best is that the presence of scandals also suggests that a free press was able to enact what noted First Amendment scholar Vincent Blasi called “the checking value.” The checking value is “that free speech, a free press, and free assembly can serve in checking the abuse of power by public officials.”1 Furthermore, Blasi believes that free speech was a central and critical principle for the drafters of the First Amendment to “guard against breaches of trust by public officials.”2 As such, the American press is often dubbed the “watchdogs of democracy.”3 Given the press’s status in our democracy, its reputation sometimes reaches an undeserved mythic status. -
The Role of Subtitles in Language Teaching
RICHARD CHAPMAN The Role of Subtitles in Language Teaching 1. Introduction Before embarking on a theoretical analysis of subtitling as a potential learning tool, it is well to attempt to clarify exactly what subtitles are from a learning perspective. We may consider subtitles a third channel of communication, in which the visual and the auditory are augmented by the textual1. The additive quality of subtitles from an in- formational point of view must be taken into consideration whenever we aim to eval- uate the teaching potentialities offered by captions. But there are other significant aspects of subtitles that we should be aware of when we consider using them in language teaching. They are obvious, and highly visible examples of overt translation (House 2009), which virtually pits the translator against the critic (and, of course, our students might quickly become informed critics of the quality of particular subtitles). Subtitling certainly presents translation choices in clear, bite-sized chunks for our evaluation. Pragmatically, subtitles are essentially adaptive, aiming at creating an equivalent dynamic effect rather than a literal one-for- one version of the original. This again might help students at various levels to consid- er the real (and often thorny) decisions translators face. The particular constraints of subtitling may also be revealing, especially the need for concision and high coherence. Questions of formality and normalisation will also almost inevitably arise in the ob- servation of captions. While the fundamental issue (for subtitling) of synchronisation will seem of little immediate value to the ‘average language student’, the opportunity to concentrate on pronunciation (with intralingual captions) or contrastive analysis (with interlingual captions) could be exploited. -

Gender in Black and White: Examining Interracial Relationships in ShondaLand By Caitlin Downing Prepared for Dr. Esch English Department Salve Regina University May 8, 2017 Downing 1 Gender in Black and White: Examining Interracial Relationships in ShondaLand ABSTRACT: Shonda Rhimes has been credited for crafting progressive television dramas that attract millions of viewers. Scholars have found that through the use of tactics like colorblind casting, Rhimes unintentionally creates problematic relationships between characters. Focusing on production techniques and dialogue, this paper examines episodes from two of her most popular shows, How To Get Away With Murder and Scandal. This paper argues that while the shows pursue progressive material, the shows present African-American female characters that require partners. Further, both white male characters negatively influence the women’s independence. -

Media Presentation of Women Power Strategy in Scandal Tv Series Season 7
MEDIA PRESENTATION OF WOMEN POWER STRATEGY IN SCANDAL TV SERIES SEASON 7 THESIS BY: KARUNIA MAULIDIA PERMATA SUGIARTO REG. NUMBER: A73216114 ENGLISH DEPARTMENT FACULTY OF ARTS AND HUMANITIES UIN SUNAN AMPEL SURABAYA 2020 ii iii iv v ABSTRACT Sugiarto, K.M.P., 2020. Media Presentation of Women Power Strategy in Scandal TV Series Season 7. English Department, UIN Sunan Ampel Surabaya. Advisor: Prof. Dr. Zuliati Rohmah, M.Pd. Keywords: gender equality, power strategy, women in leadership, women power, media presentation. This study aims to analyze the power strategy of women characters in Scandal TV Series Season 7. This television series mostly tells about the powerful women politicians who work and handle the scandalous cases. At season 7, there will be the four strong female characters that took the main role in this Scandal serial which are Olivia Pope, Mellie Grant, Quinn Perkins, and Abby Wheelan. The place setting mostly was taken on White House and the law firm called OPA (Olivia Pope & Asosiaciation), which is renamed to QPA (Quinn Perkins & Association). The author aims to analyze the power strategies of those four female characters in the Scandal TV Series Season 7. There are five types of power strategies of Thimm, C., Koch, SC, and Schey, S. (2003), which are order, direct request, threat, hierarchy, and demonstrating competence. This study uses a qualitative approach concerning the use of clear and systematic descriptions of the research being studied. Descriptive studies in the textual analysis were applied in this study to analyze conversations of female characters through the results of the transcript from the manuscript.
