Authoriality in poetic translation. The case of Amelia Rosselli's practice

This article provides a historical and theoretical contextualization of Amelia Rosselli's practice of translation. Some hitherto neglected Rosselli translations from John Berryman will be examined to ascertain the role played by translation in her multilingual oeuvre. My analysis builds upon recent explorations of translingual authors' translating practice informed by Deleuze and Guattari's seminal Kafka: pour une littérature mineure. It aims to achieve an understanding of the aesthetic of Rosselli's trilingualism and the function of translation within the author's minorizing project.

The trilogy of John of God

Monteiro’s assertion of the almighty auteur, after the post-structuralist and post-modern experiences, which had shattered the author and his work in theory and practice, reinstates an authority aimed at organising the chaos caused by the lack of narrative. In a way, therefore, Monteiro’s output is conservative, displaying a peculiar atemporal style, which seems entirely immune to fashion. On the other hand, however, few contemporary films could be more radical than his. Authorship, in his case, means the absence of limits and total freedom of expressing his obsessive world.

John Lewis Partnership lessons in logical incrementalism and organic growth: a case study and interview with the Chairman, Mr Charlie Mayfield

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to demonstrate how strategy is developed and implemented in an organisation with an unusual ownership model. Partnerships are not a prevalent form of ownership but as this case demonstrates they can be extremely effective. Furthermore this case demonstrates how logical incrementalism can be used to implement major strategic decisions. Design/methodology/approach – The paper draws on company documentary evidence and a semi-structured interview with Mr Charlie Mayfield, Chairman of John Lewis Partnership. A chairman has a helicopter view of business whose perspectives are rarely captured by strategy researchers. This case study offers an insight into strategic thinking of a chairman and chief executive of a successful company. Research limitations/implications – The case study and interview offer a unique insight into the rationale behind strategic decisions within a successful partnership that has grown organically in a highly competitive retail market without high gearing. Originality/value – This case study sheds light on strategic moves within partnership. Furthermore, very few case studies offer insight into the thinking of a chief executive who has successfully managed a business in a turbulent environment.

My essay is an analysis of the paintings of John Wilkins that contextualizes his mode of abstract painting within the semiological turn of post eighties painting.

Internal and External Time Conflicts in Adolescents: Sleep Characteristics and Interventions

Daytime fatigue and lack of sleep seem to increase throughout adolescent years. Several environmental, psychological, and biological factors have been associated with the development of sleep across adolescence. The aim of the present article is to summarize these factors and to give examples of various outcomes in sleep patterns among adolescents studied in different cultural settings. It is obvious from earlier work that many adolescents have displaced circadian rhythms and lack of adaptation to school hours due to an early school start or additional burdens for work. Several interventions have aimed to help the adaptation process by supporting sleep processes and changing scheduling, in this way promoting classroom alertness. In summary, adolescents worldwide shorten their sleep due to schoolwork hours and additional work, especially by disturbing their sleep due to circadian misalignment.

Skapandet av skräcken : John Ajvide Lindqvists Låt den rätte komma in

Syftet med denna uppsats är att undersöka hur och med vilka medel det skrämmande i John Ajvide Lindqvists Låt den rätte komma in skapas, hur detta förmedlas till läsaren och vilka konsekvenser detta får samt att undersöka på vilket sätt vampyren Eli skiljer sig från den traditionella vampyren.Utgångspunkt i romanen är den mänskliga kroppen och särskilt fokus läggs vid kroppsvätskor, kroppslukter, det sexuellt avvikande och den deformerade kroppen. Gestaltningen av detta handlar om ett brytande mot tabun och etablerade normer som finns i vårt samhälle i dag. Detta skapar känslor av obehag och äckel hos läsaren. Ajvide Lindqvist använder sig av det groteska i syfte att illustrera de obekvämligheter som vi inte vill kännas vid.Eli skiljer sig från den traditionella vampyren genom att vara ett barn och genom att kunna uppfattas som flicka. Här finns också en komplexitet vad gäller kön, då Eli kan sägas vara intergender – av ett odefinierbart kön som ligger bortom de vanliga kategorierna "man" och "kvinna".
