Song

2006

A young man returns home to Lavington, a rural British Columbian town, freshly graduated with an Bachelors in English and without any direction in his life. In an effort to guide his life forward he undertakes writing an autobiography told through the filter of popular music. The narrator combines discussions of the sociology of popular music and its many facets and genres (i.e. the love song, the canon, the guitar solo etc) with an "aural mapping," a connecting of songs and albums to various instances, people and experiences in his life. It is through this melding that the protagonist develops a sense of his own identity and is able to create plans for the future and move forward.

Two years before she died, Susan Sontag spoke about the power of fiction, how it is through inventions of a writerly kind that we receive an “education of the heart.” She said it is through art, fiction in particular, that we are able to make a world that “enlarges our sympathy.” This vision underpins this submission for a Doctor of Creative Arts, which consists of two companion texts: a novel (Volume I) and its theoretical annotation/exegesis (Volume II). The novel Bite Your Tongue is the story of a girl’s growing up and out of silence, and how her body operates and survives as the language of the process. The novel has two landscapes: the girl’s childhood in 1970s Brisbane and her relationship with her mother, a “morals crusader,” who wants to save the children of Queensland by banning books; and her reflections as an adult on her relationship with her dying mother. Complex and self-reflexive, this is a novel about books and the body, language and writing the self. This creative w...

Academia Mental Health and Well-Being, 2024

The global impact of mental health, specifically depression, is expected to be a top concern by 2030. Despite the growing number of medications and interventions, access to resources for well-being, psychiatric medications, and psychotherapy continue to be a long-standing barrier, regardless of a person’s socioeconomic status or wealth of the country. Additionally, there is a bidirectionality between mental health and physical illness as individuals with mental health have higher comorbid medical conditions and visa versa. The benefits of lifestyle interventions are often overlooked, but they are scientifically significant, well-tolerated by patients, and can address modalities of illness. Lifestyle psychiatry can become an integral tool for global mental health providers.

Osobni fond Pazinjanke Katarine Šćuka-Kukec (HR-DAPA-925 Katarina Šćuka Kukec: 1905/1989) ostavština je koja je nastala između 1905. i 1918. godine. U tom se fondu, pored slikovnoga i tiskanog materijala te osobnih dokumenata, nalaze i četiri vrlo osobno intonirana pisma. Uzevši u obzir činjenicu da je stvarateljica Fonda, Katarina Šćuka-Kukec, ostavila svoj zapis bez namjere da bude predočen očima javnosti, ovom su prigodom izostavljana ta četiri osobno intonirana pisma. Riječ je, dakle, o stvarateljici koja u svom životnom vijeku nije javno djelovala pa tako ni na području recepcije ne pripada skupu vrednovanih i/ili ovjerovljenih autora. U tom je kontekstu i sadržaj Fonda oslobođen bilo kakvih pretenzija da se svidi eventualnoj/potencijalnoj čitalačkoj publici. No, taj je sadržaj, osobito njegov slikovni dio, po svojoj intenciji u najvećoj mjeri neutralno i objektivno svjedočanstvo o dijelu povijesti školstva u Pazinu početkom 20. stoljeća. Dopis koji je uputila DAPA-i i dio slik...

Il cosmopolitismo mira a promuovere la pace e dunque a rappresentare un argine al ripetersi dei conflitti che hanno caratterizzato il secolo breve. L'esperienza ha mostrato come il superamento della sovranità nazionale abbia alimentato lo sviluppo di un ordine economico neoliberale, in quanto tale minaccioso per la giustizia sociale e in ultima analisi per la pace. Di qui la necessità di un recupero della dimensione nazionale non certo per affermare identità escludenti, bensì per ripristinare un accettabile equilibrio tra democrazia e capitalismo. Cosmopolitism aims at promoting peace in order to prevent the comeback of the conflicts that characterized the age of extremes. Experience has shown that overcoming national sovereignty produces the development of a neoliberal economic order, as such threatening social justice and after all peace. Hence the need for a restoration of the national dimension, certainly not to affirm exclusionary identities, but to restore an acceptable balance between democracy and capitalism.

In this article we discuss why English and Spanish have become leaders among the languages studied as foreign languages. For that purpose an investigation conducted in Bulgaria among students at the University of Plovdiv is presented. The students study or have studied English as a first foreign language and have answered several questions that aim at clarifying why and how they have chosen to study a second foreign language. The results have been analysed and respective conclusions have been drawn to support the increasing role of the languages in question. Key words: foreign language, mother tongue, investigation, loanwords, research, education
