One of the filmic trends which has been neglected by the Academy Awards is the metacinema, which for practical purposes I will consider to be a cross between the complexities of the self-reflexive cinema (highly connoted with modernism) and the Hollywood Film (the classical films about the urge to make it in Hollywood). Indeed, these films have always existed and some, as Sunset Boulevard (Billy Wilder, 1950, USA) and Mulholland Dr. (David Lynch, 2001, FRA/USA), have even made it to the ceremony, but were, predictably, defeated in the main categories, by other more serious or less self-reflexive products. The United States has always insisted on not revealing the tricks of the trade while, ironically, generating films that deal with this theme, in order to cater to the curiosity of the metacinema-inclined spectator. For this reason such films are usually about the universe of cinema but not its medium, at least not in a way that discloses the operations of the technical apparatus. Why are these films not viewed as serious enough and artistic enough to be awarded Oscars by the Academy in the categories of Best Picture, Best Director, Best Screenplay, and Best Cinematography? Are they being discarded for the same reasons that comedy and musicals usually are? Or are they being punished for being too unveiling? Or is the industry going for commercial products that can easily be pushed on a global scale and make a profit?

A Festa uma das componentes fortes da Cultuna que hoje em dia tem um mbito vastssimo. Adoptamos neste trabalho a perspectiva dos "Cultural studies" de Birmingham, at porque a cultura popular um dos captulos mais estudados por Stuart Hall e os outros investigadores dessa rea. Mas alm disso, fiis nossa orientao cientfica, privilegiamos o estudo da festa atravs dos Media, embora lhe dediquemos a ateno que, em si, ela de facto merece. A abordagem culturalista permite-nos identificar imediatamente trs condicionantes fundamentais da festa, a econmica, a poltica e a societal.

meu propsito, neste estudo, argumentar a ideia de que os Estudos Culturais podem ser encarados como novas humanidades. Os Cultural Studies centram a ateno nos estudos tnicos, ps-coloniais, comunicacionais, antropolgicos, etnogrficos e feministas, e apenas muito marginalmente tm-se interessado pela literatura e pelos estudos literrios (Aguiar e Silva, 2008). Mas so precisamente esses domnios, investidos pela Social Science, e no pelas Arts, que se constituem como pedra de toque da modernidade. E neles que se joga, hoje, em grande medida, a ideia que temos do humano. A interrogao que hoje feita, tanto sobre o humano como sobre a modernidade, tem como pano de fundo a translao tecnolgica da cultura, da palavra para a imagem (Martins, 2011a). A minha proposta tem em ateno esse debate, sublinhando entretanto o compromisso que os Estudos Culturais tm com atual e o contemporneo, o que tambm quer dizer, com o presente e o quotidiano.

It has been the main concern of CEHUM, as a Research Centre within the Humanities which operates in an inter and transdisciplinary structure to listen attentively to the noise of the world and attempt a global interpretation of the signs of the times issuing from the world around us, as vibrant echoes of many social and cultural pressing issues. Every year each new Colquio de Outono attempts to give evidence of that concern through the topic chosen for debate, ample enough and challenging enough to trigger a lively multidisciplinary dialogue amongst the diff erent research groups that compose this centre, the participants and our invited guest speakers. Throughout the three days of this 16th Colquio de Outono we had the privilege to debate the propositions of a vast number of national and international specialists in the manifold fi elds of inquiry here represented, engaging keynote speakers, project advisors, members of research teams and external researchers attached to the various research projects currently running in CEHUM, in the fi elds of literature, linguistics, philosophy, ethics, visual arts, cultural studies, music and performance. Each specifi c fi eld of studies was however never seen isolated, but always embodied in a geo-cultural context and within the scope of a wide variety of critical debates and current theories of knowledge, as a signal of our understanding of the Humanities as a rich and plural territory which engages us all, scholars, researchers, students.

Lobjectiu daquest projecte s analitzar la qualitat literria dels best sellers i observar les limitacions daquest anlisi. Deguda la complexitat del fenmen best seller, i tot i ser conscients de que sn obres que shan dabordar des duna perspectiva pluridisciplinar, vam decidir comenar aquest projecte analitzant tres best sellers espanyols des de la metodologia de lestilstica i de la narratologia. Les obres analitzades sn 'La sombra del viento' de Carlos Ruiz Zafn, 'Un milagro en equilibrio', de Luca Etxevarra, i 'El capitn Alatriste', de Prez Reverte, i lanlisi s de tipus quantitatiu, de les estructures emprades per a lexpressi de lo metafric, dels personatges, trames i tpics. Les conclusions varen ser que, des dun punt de vista estilstic, es pot demostrar la mala qualitat literria daquestes obres, aix com la seva relaci amb la tradici del gnere del follet, amb el que comparteixen moltes caracterstiques. Tanmateix, una altra de les conclusions de lestudi fou que abordar el best seller des de lestilstica no ofereix una visi completa daquest fenmen. Aquest projecte doncs, que t per ttol Estudio estilstico de tres casos de best seller en el mbito espaol: 'La sombra del viento', 'Un milagro en equilibrio' y 'El capitn Alatriste' ha dampliar-se en catleg i en metodologia, adoptant vries perspectives simultneament, que ofereixin una visi adecuada de la complexitat del fenmen. El catleg sha exts a 15 obres en lmbit espanyol, i a 15 ms en lmbit francs, durant el 2008, i la perspectiva multidisciplinar engloba estudis culturals, de recepci i sociologia. Des daquesta nova base metodolgica i terica, shan realitzat 500 enquestes a lectors a Barcelona i a Pars, en diferents punts de venta de llibres, durant el 2010.

The aim of this working paper is to analyze the inclusion of political humor into the set of actions used by opponents to the Syrian regime during the first year of a state-wide uprising in 2011. The research argues that although political humor has traditionally been seen mainly as a concealed voice against dominant elites, it can nevertheless take a confrontational stance and challenge a regime. In this paper we assess the role of political humor in challenging the legitimacy of the Syrian State through the battle for the signification of events. We will work with a theoretical framework that draws its assumptions from social movements studies and cultural studies. Through the assessment of the importance of discourse and the role of ideological domination to a regime we will see how the first year of the Syrian uprising included widespread acts of political humor as part of the strategy against the regime.

The goal of this article is to map out public perceptions of animal experimentation in 28 European countries. Postulating cross-cultural differences, this study mixes country-level variables (from the Eurostat database) and individual-level variables (from Eurobarometer Science and Technology 2010). It is shown that experimentation on animals such as mice is generally accepted in European countries, but perceptions are divided on dogs and monkeys. Between 2005 and 2010, we observe globally a change of approval on dogs and monkeys, with a significant decrease in nine countries. Multilevel analysis results show differences at country level (related to a post-industrialism model) and at individual level (related to gender, age, education, proximity and perceptions of science and the environment). These results may have consequences for public perceptions of science and we call for more cross-cultural research on press coverage of animal research and on the level of public engagement of scientists doing animal research
