In this paper, I wish to discuss how people living with severe illness at home depict their lives either in a family setting or alone. Roland Barthes writes in Comment vivre ensemble (1977) about individual life lived in a variety of collective situations in different settings, and calls this idiorrhythmia. One of the settings Barthes studies is the sanatorium, where the figures of Autarky ...

Epiphany is a literary device bringing forth an experience of sudden wisdom or insight and is particularly applied to literature from the romantic era. However, epiphanies are also present within contemporary autobiographical patient stories (pathographies) expressing something that is difficult and perhaps otherwise left unspoken. Kristian Gidlund’s pathography <i>I kroppen min. Resan mot livets ...

Herein, we provide counterargumentation to some of Domínguez, Hicks, and Slabakova's claims that the term <i>incomplete acquisition</i> is conceptually necessary on theoretical grounds for describing the outcome grammars of heritage language bilingualism. Specifically, we clarify their claim that previous challenging of the term in our and others’ work is primarily based on a misconceived belief ...

Top interpreters are rarely able to discuss publicly negotiations between their bosses-cum-clients. Yet the downfall of Nazi Germany and the USSR allowed some interpreters to speak, in interviews and memoirs, without fear of retribution. In the end, only a few told their story, and some did not always tell it correctly, either because of memory lapses or because of a desire to appear more informed ...

Cervantes, en <i>Los trabajos de Persiles y Sigismunda</i>, emplea dinámicamente memoria e imaginatio y moderniza el género, por medio del uso de la <i>imitatio compuesta</i>. El agua, que en el Persiles adopta, entre otras, la forma del ‘mar’, los ‘ríos’, pero también del ‘hielo’, <i>vincula</i> las diversas aventuras que se suceden, así como el fluir narrativo, memorístico e imaginario, para ...

This article suggests supplementing Astrid Erll’s framework for analysis of memory making media with key insights from Herman and Chomsky’s propaganda model. An analysis of the documentary <i>The Battle for Hitler’s Supership</i> that portrays the story of the German battleship Tirpitz, which the British Royal Air Force sunk in Tromsø in 1944, will illustrate the benefits of this approach. The ...

Denne artikkelen utfordrer anvendeligheten av konseptet <i>Outsider Art</i> gjennom en analyse av Herleik Kristiansens kunstneriske prosesser. Kristiansen er psykisk utviklingshemmet, og i perioden 1963–93 var han beboer ved institusjonen Trastad Gård. Prosessene som diskuteres er: Kristiansens utvikling som kunstner, hans særegne måte å skape kunst på og til sist transformasjonen av natur til kultur ...

Augment-less NPs in Xhosa and de NPs like <i>de chevaux</i> ‘of horses’ have strikingly similar properties. It seems that the properties of <i>de</i> NPs reflect the absence of the definite article <i>les</i> which combines with <i>de</i> to form the so-called partitive article <i>des chevaux</i> ‘some horses’. Taking the Xhosa augment to be similar (though not identical) to the French definite ...

In his novels, from his debut in 1917 and unto his last novel in 1973, the Norwegian author Mikkjel Fønhus writes about what is in the periphery of our attention: the wilderness and the wild animals. Technology has done that a direct contact with nature is no longer necessary for us: what we relate to is more and more social and cultural practices. Fønhus investigates non-human perception and shows ...

The present study uses event-related potentials to examine subject–verb person agreement in Spanish, with a focus on how markedness with respect to the speech participant status of the subject modulates processing. Morphological theory proposes a markedness distinction between first and second person, on the one hand, and third person on the other. The claim is that both the first and second persons ...
