Research on celebrity and public persona derives from fundamentally interdisciplinary sources. Although at its core, the study of public personality has been the object of investigations by those more closely associated with media and communication, the key disciplines of sociology, cultural studies, literary studies, political science, social psychology, and even anthropology and history have been part of its analysis. Celebrity identifies the “extra-textual” dimensions of the famous, in which the lives of the renowned are followed, read, and reported. It is a public celebration of individuality that is (but not exclusively) connected to consumer culture and democratic capitalism. Through these larger cultural tropes celebrity has had its strongest affiliations with the contemporary entertainment industries, particularly in terms of how they are covered by the media and the press for further value beyond the cultural forms that are often the origins of stardom—the public individual’s performances in fields such as film, television, sport, and popular music. Celebrity is a site of celebration and derogation in any culture: these public individuals are truly exalted and given a status beyond others, but they are also ridiculed for their believed-to-be unearned credentials for having such a public platform and voice. Moreover, the study of celebrity and public persona is also an investigation into the connection between the populace and these public personalities, where parasocial relations most evident in fandom identify how celebrities embody audiences with an affective connection that is truly powerful in contemporary culture. That power of embodiment and connection that celebrities possess is subsequently exploited by the media industries to promote and sell new connected cultural products. Identifying celebrities as part of a spectrum of public personas links the study of celebrity to the investigation of the celebrated and famed in a variety of professions and fields well beyond entertainment. Thus, the term persona is used in these studies of public personalities to acknowledge the mask that is deployed to present a public version of the self for this external consumption and reading by an audience, a collective, a network, a nation, a citizenry, or a community. Research into public personas has led to related studies of political leadership, self-branding, notoriety in business, and reputation management, and research delves into the presentation of the public self by greater portions of the populace in online cultures. Celebrity and public persona is a field in which research aims to investigate the significance and meaning of various versions of the public self in both contemporary culture and historically.

In broad terms, this paper examines what I call Todd Haynes' 'hauntological' approach to the celebrity biopic. More specifically, it focuses on Velvet Goldmine (1998) and argues that Haynes represents Bowie's Ziggy Stardust persona as a series of phantoms in the Derridean sense. That is, figures that are both absent and present, material and immaterial— figures that affirm that no identity can ever be quite complete since the markers of identity are always enmeshed in a network of differences that can be continually re-coded. Haynes' original script contained several Bowie songs, which he was forced to replace when Bowie refused to give him permission to use the music (Bowie claimed he intended to make his own film about his Ziggy Stardust period). Undeterred, Haynes produced a movie that made no direct reference to Bowie by name, yet recoded Bowie's multiple personas and characters in a parallel cinematic world. Haynes' film invites the spectator to re-think Identity in terms of 'contamination' and 'inauthenticity'. He also establishes a genealogical connection between Oscar Wilde (one of the film's many spectres) and Bowie by making several allusions to the parallels between 19th century aestheticism and Glam Rock. In short, I argue that Haynes' film facilitates a critique of the idea that Bowie's shifting identity is merely a question of aesthetic choice, or an expression of any kind of cultural logic. Rather, I argue that the figure of the Derridean phantom offers a new way to read Velvet Goldmine, and to identify the cultural work performed by Bowie's Ziggy Stardust persona.

Dentro del marco de los estudios contemporáneos sobre la poesía griega antigua, dos corrientes críticas han adquirido relevancia interpretativa acerca de la naturaleza y la funcionalidad del "yo" en las composiciones líricas, elegíacas y yámbicas de la Grecia arcaica. La primera corriente entiende los textos como expresión personal del propio poeta. Desde esta perspectiva, el campo referencial que entra en juego en un poema remite siempre a la experiencia vivida por el poeta o a su reflexión íntima. Esta concepción postula una exégesis crítica tendiente a develar la poética a través de la biografía. La segunda corriente, concibe el "yo" como una construcción estereotipada o ficcional. De este modo, aquella primera persona funcionaría como un artilugio poético convencional. Nuestra presentación tiene como objetivo indagar las distintas vertientes interpretativas sobre la referencialidad del "yo" en las composiciones yámbicas de Arquíloco de Paros

Person and persona are presented as conceptually at opposite ends of a spectrum. Person describes the internal dimensions of the self, while persona identifies the external and public presentations of the self. The article explores these ideas of person and public persona from their theoretical origins in media and communication research and how they are challenged and shifted by the way various communication technologies are used and deployed in contemporary culture.

ResumenEl presente artículo es un intento de señalar un aspecto del Derecho Internacional que parece mostrar una paulatina evolución. Es por ello que estudiar a la persona como sujeto de Derecho Internacional (DI) es innovador o al menos diferente de como siempre se lo ha mostrado, esto es, ajeno al sistema internacional desde el estudio de los Sujetos del Derecho Internacional. Por otro lado, los internacionalistas en su inmensa mayoría han insistido en no elevar al rango de sujeto de DI a la persona. No obstante, los argumentos utilizados son diversos, cuestión que aquí se remarcará.En el desarrollo del presente trabajo, se describirán los argumentos a favor de la persona como sujeto y en contra de tal carácter. Y en la medida de lo posible, se replanteará el tema con base o referencia en una teoría del derecho, en este caso la de H. Kelsen, ya que desde sus inicios esta ha hecho recepción del asunto. Se debe dejar en claro que también se analizará la realidad positiva y situaciones que han dado el pie de partida para el replanteamiento que coadyuve a exponer o clarificar la temática aquí encarada.Se finalizará con una serie de conclusiones que no pretenden emitir un juicio de valor, sino solamente reflexionar con mejores y profundos argumentos que los hasta ahora analizados por la doctrina internacionalista.AbstractThe present article will try to show an issue of the International Law system which displays a progressive evolution, that is why studying individuals as International Law (IL) subjects is innovative, or at least different than it always has been exhibited; devoid of the international system from the studies of the Subjects of International Law. On the other hand, internationalists in general have insisted on not elevating the status of subject of IL to the person. Nonetheless, the arguments used to do so are diverse, an issue that is emphasized here.In the development of the present article the arguments in favor and against the person as subject will be described. And, if possible, to re-establish the issue based on or with reference to a law theory, in this case Kelsen´s, because it has made reception of the issue since its beginning. It must be clear that the positive reality and the situations which have promoted the re proposal of the issue in order to clarify and contribute to the description of it will be analyzed.It ends with a description of facts and conclusions, without any value content, only remarking the topic from different deep arguments.

In this present work attempts have been made to study the glass transition temperature of alternative mould materials by using both microwave heating and conventional oven heating. In this present work three epoxy resins, namely R2512, R2515 and R2516, which are commonly used for making injection moulds have been used in combination with two hardeners H2403 and H2409. The magnetron microwave generator used in this research is operating at a frequency of 2.45 GHz with a hollow rectangular waveguide. In order to distinguish the effects between the microwave and conventional heating, a number of experiments were performed to test their mechanical properties such as tensile and flexural strengths. Additionally, differential scanning calorimeter technique was implemented to measure the glass transition temperature on both microwave and conventional heating. This study provided necessary evidences to establish that microwave heated mould materials resulted with higher glass transition temperature than the conventional heating. Finally, attempts were also made to study the microstructure of microwave-cured materials by using a scanning electron microscope in order to analyze the morphology of cured specimens.
