Item type: Item , A case for rewriting Lolita.(Jan Kochanowski University Press, 2024) Zabalbeascoa, PatrickThis paper calls for new versions, or rewritings (Lefevere 1992), of Nabokov’s 1955 (in)famous novel Lolita. The call is a reaction to the features found in Adrian Lyne’s 1997 film adaptation and the respective AVT versions of Lyne’s and Kubrick’s 1962 adaptations, which seem to support popular visions of Lolita that do not fit in with current sensitivities regarding the topic nor, it is argued, with a deeper, more careful reading of Nabokov’s work. For years, there have been calls for Lolita or some of its adaptations to be cancelled as indecent or immoral, while many of those who market the Lolita ‘brand’ do so from a very similar (smutty) interpretation of the story. This study sets out to show how Lolita can serve the purpose of denouncing child abuse and sexual exploitation, and there is ample textual evidence in the novel to prove it.Item type: Item , The informational component: Ph.D. dissertation(University of Pennsylvania, 1993) Vallduví, EnricEven though the relevance of non-truth conditional notions like ‘topic’ and ‘focus’ in sentence structure and interpretation has long been recognized, there is little agreement on the exact nature of these notions and their role in a model of linguistic competence. Following the information packaging approach (Chafe 1976, Prince 1986), this study argues that these notions are primitive elements in the informational component of language. This component, informatics, is responsible for the articulation of sentences qua information, where information is defined as that part of propositional content which constitutes a contribution of knowledge to the hearer's knowledge-store. Informational primitives combine into four possible distinct information packaging instructions, which direct hearers to retrieve the information of a sentence and enter it into their knowledge-store in a specific way. After a discussion of previous approaches to the informational articulation of the sentence, a hierarchical articulation is proposed: sentences are divided into the focus, which is the only information of the sentence, and the ground, which specifies how that information fits in the hearer's knowledge-store. The ground is further divided into the link, which denotes an address in the hearer's knowledge-store under which s/he is instructed to enter the information, and the tail, which provides further directions on how the information must be entered under a given address. Empirical support for this representation of information packaging comes especially from the surface encoding of instructions in Catalan, which is then contrasted with that of English. Using a multistratal syntactic theory, it is then proposed that information packaging is structurally and purely represented at the abstract level of IS, which acts as an interface with informatics. Finally, in order to further argue for informatics as an autonomous linguistic component, some proposals that attempt to include informational notions under logical semantics are reviewed and countered. This study is an effort to gain insight into one subdomain of pragmatics by integrating it into the larger process of language understanding. This is done by giving otherwise elusive informational notions a specific role in the component responsible for the entry of information into the hearer's knowledge-store.Item type: Item , Enseñar a leer hoy(2024) Cassany, Daniel"Enseñar a leer hoy" es el primer episodio de una serie de 35 vídeos breves, titulada “Enseñar a leer y a comprender”, dirigida a docentes de educación básica y secundaria, sobre didáctica de la lectura y la comprensión en el siglo XXI. Este primer episodio menciona las razones más destacadas por las que la lectura continua siendo una práctica de enorme trascendencia hoy en día, como que: 1) vivimos en comunidades altamente letradas, con numerosos textos que gobiernan nuestras vidas (avisos, normas, carteles, señales, etc.); 2) accedemos al saber acumulado (enciclopédico, artístico, histórico, humanístico, etc.) a través de la lectura; 3) desarrollamos el pensamiento científico y crítico con la lectura; o 4) podemos mejorar nuestro nivel de vida con la información obtenida con la lectura. También se aportan fuentes bibliográficas del autor para profundizar en estas ideas.Item type: Item , Multimodal transcription grid Drag Race España(2025) Moura, Willian; Hermosa-Ramírez, IreneItem type: Item , Recomanacions sobre el tractament de les persones LGBTI+ als mitjans audiovisuals(2024) Consell de l’Audiovisual de Catalunya (CAC); Generalitat de Catalunya, Departament d'Igualtat i Feminismes; Col·legi de Periodistes de Catalunya
