Sexual Promiscuity

Irish nationalists imagined the rural farming community as a model of the nation, as most famously articulated by Eamon de Valera. But the literary version of social reality yield images of much less harmonious, homogenous, and integrated communities. There is the vicious class stigma of sexual promiscuity and illegitimacy, as seen in Mary Lavin’s story ‘Sarah’, and in Tom French’s long poem ‘Pity the Bastards’. The closed-in world of John B. Keane’s The Field and Sam Hanna Bell’s tightly knit Presbyterian neighbourhood in December Bride give a sense of the varying distinctiveness of separate communities. Máirtín Ó Cadhain’s Irish language novel Cré na Cille vividly renders the intensely competitive internal dynamics of his Connemara locality, while Eugene McCabe in his Fermanagh Trilogy evokes the intimate enmities of country neighbours under the pressure of sectarian conflict.

The article suggests a detailed analysis of the most significant and complicated work in O. Mandelstam’s late poetry — The Poem of an Unknown Soldier (1937) which is being examined in the context of the poet’s whole literary heritage. Radical metaphorism, which was previously characteristic of the poet, is pushed here to the extreme; poetics of reminiscences and subtexts appears to be the basis for the composition of this long poem. A detailed examination of the poem’s world, explanation and sometimes deciphering of its poetic images obviously demonstrate the arrival of new poetics, the basis of which in the work is the “Heraclitean metaphor” (O. Mandelstam’s term), revealing fluidity, internal dynamics of images that create a horrible picture of the war as an ultimate disaster and of an individual (the poet) as its antipode and victim. The poet’s thought is directed to the picture of an eternal, immortal military formation where in the roar of the military roll call, voices of fallen soldiers merge with those of Shakespeare and Cervantes, and where the poet’s voice is heard among others — standing here, calling his “unreliable” year of birth and seing the whole path of human history caught in the fire of the Apocalypse.

Plant Pest Organisms disruption on rice cultivation is increasing, the control carried out by the farmers have not succeeded to the maximum, the effects of climate change are difficult to predict. Both can be very threatening productivity of rice plants in the district Kakap River. Control methods that have been recommended by the PP. No.6 1995, protection of plants which is the basic foundation for addressing attacks Plant Pest Organisms Disorder with Integrated Pest Management system. The application of technology by farmers properly and sustainably need to be known, the study aims: (1) to determine the level of adoption of these technologies participating farmers. (2) to determine the factors associated with the level of farmer adoption of Integrated Pest Management technology participants. The elements of Integrated Pest Management (IPM) technology are; utilization of natural enemies, agroecosystem management, mechanical physical control, pesticide control and control the group. Variables related to the level of adoption of Integrated Pest Management (IPM) technology participating farmers are; farmers age, formal education, non-formal education, farming experience, vast arable land, the ownership status of claim, cosmopolitan and income of farmer. The descriptive method of research that studies the problems of the farming community, relations activities, attitudes, outlook and ongoing process. Population census method used by the four groups of farmers who have been following the activities of the SL-IPM as many as 100 people, to analyze the data using Chi Square test. The results of the study generally indicates the level of participant farmer adoption of IPM technologies in the medium categories means participant farmers of IPM technology is not according with the recommendation. So the IPM technology training through the SL-IPM still needed to farmer groups. Keywords: Plant Pest Organisms disruption, level of adoption, IPM technology

Though McGahern’s father was a police officer and his mother a schoolteacher, they had a small farm where the writer spent his childhood years, and it was this home territory of rural Roscommon and Leitrim that was central to his fiction. Recurrently in the novels and stories, the former Republican father, disillusioned with independent Ireland, rules over the farm as his own independent republic, but alienates the son whom he needs as heir. Amongst Women shows up the illusion of the patriarchal ideal of the family working together on the farm and its crippling gender politics. Yet, dissatisfaction with the city drives key characters back to the alternative life of the farm, as in ‘The Country Funeral’. In That They May Face the Rising Sun, McGahern creates his fullest version of the farming community, at once tenderly pastoral and caustically observed in its social reality.

AbstractUsing interviews with former militants and previously unpublished documents, this article traces the genesis and internal dynamics of the Ejército Revolucionario del Pueblo (People's Revolutionary Army, ERP) in El Salvador during the early years of its existence (1970–6). This period was marked by the inability of the ERP to maintain internal coherence or any consensus on revolutionary strategy, which led to a series of splits and internal fights over control of the organisation. The evidence marshalled in this case study sheds new light on the origins of the armed Salvadorean Left and thus contributes to a wider understanding of the processes of formation and internal dynamics of armed left-wing groups that emerged from the 1960s onwards in Latin America.

Social representations of human rights violations were investigated in a questionnaire study conducted in five countries (Costa Rica, France, Italy, Romania, and Switzerland) (N = 1239 young people). We were able to show that respondents organize their understanding of human rights violations in similar ways across nations. At the same time, systematic variations characterized opinions about human rights violations, and the structure of these variations was similar across national contexts. Differences in definitions of human rights violations were identified by a cluster analysis. A broader definition was related to critical attitudes toward governmental and institutional abuses of power, whereas a more restricted definition was rooted in a fatalistic conception of social reality, approval of social regulations, and greater tolerance for institutional infringements of privacy. An atypical definition was anchored either in a strong rejection of social regulations or in a strong condemnation of immoral individual actions linked with a high tolerance for governmental interference. These findings support the idea that contrasting definitions of human rights coexist and that these definitions are underpinned by a set of beliefs regarding the relationships between individuals and institutions.
