This article analyzes select opera films produced during the 20th and 21st centuries by international opera houses in order to determine whether, when the diegesis of these films is recreated, there is also an attempt made for the films to reflect the conventions of operatic performance. We performed content analysis of the end of the first act in 29 filmed versions of the opera Don Giovanni by W.A. Mozart by evaluating 44 variables related to three categories that are central to translating the original story to the new audiovisual discourse: recreation of time and space and use of scenery. The main results reveal that in translating Don Giovanni to audiovisual media, the films continue to be influenced by the institutional conventions of operatic theater. In relying on the original performance, these films, even in the 21st century, do not exhibit full narrative autonomy. Our article proposes several ways to better adapt—from a cinematographic perspective—these scenic representations based on elements such as depth of field or scenery, without the need for greater resources than those already available to opera houses.

Cultural Turn

Abstract In this study we analyse different linguistic elements in the TV series Will & Grace that shape the gay identity of the main characters of the show. We will base the analysis on the inclusion of the cultural turn into the field of audiovisual translation studies and on the technical time and space constraints that may emerge when conveying the message in this type of texts. Therefore, we will focus on the treatment of cultural references associated to the LGBTQI community that are shown on the series, as well as the linguistic variant of gayspeak and the comic elements included in the dialogues in order to observe whether the information that viewers of the Spanish dubbed version receive regarding gay identity is the same that is portrayed in the original version in English.

Research Questions

The purpose of this study is to investigate instagram use among English pre-service teachers (EPST) to support their language learning in a particular course. This study sought to explore the following research questions: (1) How do EPST explore instagram to accomplish Online Task-Based Language Learning (OTBLL)? (2) What contents are created and shared by EPST to accomplish OTBLL? To collect the data, this study applied observation and content analysis. In addition several tasks were designed to be accomplished by EPST. The findings shows that EPST were able to integrate both the ability to use instagram and the ability to integrate it for OTBLL. The contents that EPST created and shared met the requirement of OTBLL. The contents included several types: creating video to explain topic assigned, writing phonetic transcription, and other tasks. The results of this study are expected to contribute in improving EPST language skills and their ability to explore social media use for language learning. Being able to seize social media to support language learning is a necessary skill to be nurtured for future language teacher in the 21st century.

The chapter showcases the 21st century skills that are required by librarians. The digital era brought about a lot of changes in the way that librarians interact with their clients. Due to the changing needs of clients, librarians should ensure that they are well equipped to deliver the needed services. The objectives of the chapter are to identify the skills that librarians should possess in the 21st century, examine how librarians acquire those skills, and discuss the challenges that are faced when acquiring those skills. Structured literature review and web content analysis were used to get the LIS skills. It was discovered that librarians should possess professional, technical, and soft skills in order to remain relevant in the 21st century. The findings revealed that librarians can acquire skills through on the job trainings or formal education. The major challenge that is faced by librarians is the issue of lack of funds to support their capacity building endeavours.

21St Century Skill

Computational Thinking is a skill that guides the 21th century individual in the problems experienced during daily life and it has an ever-increasing significance. Multifarious definitions were attempted to explain the concept of Computational Thinking. However, it was determined that there was no consensus on this matter in the literature and several different concepts were mentioned in the definitions found in the literature. It was considered that this fact made it difficult to understand the concept of Computational Thinking. To establish a more comprehensive approach, the present study aimed to identify the concepts that are included in the Computational Thinking definitions that were presented in previous studies. It also aimed to reveal trends in the identified concepts throughout the years. As a result of the search, a total of 59 definitions were identified and a content analysis was conducted on these definitions. Analysis results demonstrated that Computational Thinking was defined based on several concepts such as problem solving, technology, thinking, individual and social qualities. Furthermore, it was determined that statements on thinking were prominent before 2006, and today, emphasis on problem solving and technology became more significant. It was considered that the present study would contribute to a better understanding of the Computational Thinking concept. At the end of the study, certain suggestions were presented for further research.

Abstract This study aims at analysing the main developments in foreign reporting of Latin America by the German press. The paper provides a content analysis of 3.831 articles published in quality German publications (SZNenhum, FAZ, Der Spiegel, and tazNenhum) between 2000 and 2014. The most common news factors related to the continent are found to be “magnitude,” “power status,” “economic proximity”, and “personification.” Additionally, we identified a decrease in hard news over the years (6 pp within Politics and 8 pp amidst Economy). Despite depoliticisation, a tendency towards tabloidisation was not confirmed since factors such as personification and crisis remained constant.

AbstractThis study aimed to describe the transformation of Dewi Kekayi story in the Ramayana epic into Kekayi (2017) by Oka Rusmini. This research used intertextual theory. Applying structural approach, this qualitative study described the transformation of each part of the story. Content analysis was employed to analyze the data. The results showed that the story of Dewi Kekayi in the Ramayana epic was made into a short story hypogram entitled Kekayi by Oka Rusmini through story transformation. In the transformation process, the author developed the original story (hypogram) into a new story by deconstructing the personality of Dewi Kekayi to Kekayi character in Kekayi short story. Deconstruction carried out by the author caused a contradiction between the character of Kekayi in the story of Dewi Kekayi and Kekayi short story.AbstrakPenelitian ini bertujuan untuk mendeskripsikan transformasi cerita Dewi Kekayi dalam epos Ramayana menjadi cerpen Kekayi (2017) karya Oka Rusmini. Teori intertekstual digunakan sebagai dasar dalam analisis. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah penelitian kualitatif dengan pendekatan struktural, mengingat fokus penelitian ini adalah mendeskripsikan transformasi bagian-bagian cerita. Analisis data menggunakan analisis konten. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa cerita Dewi Kekayi dalam epos Ramayana dijadikan hiprogram cerpen Kekayi oleh Oka Rusmini melalui transformasi cerita. Dalam proses transformasi, pengarang mengembangkan cerita asal (sebagai hipogram) di dalam cerita baru, yaitu dengan mendekonstruksikan kepribadian Dewi Kekayi menjadi tokoh Kekayi dalam cerpen Kekayi. Dekonstruksi yang dilakukan pengarang menyebabkan adanya kontradiksi sifat tokoh Kekayi dalam cerita Dewi Kekayi dan cerpen Kekayi.

Until the 1960s, the language and speech in Pirot changed very slowly and differed little as compared to the end of the nineteen century. Apart from the family influence, there was not any other factor that could seriously affect the language used by the citizens of Pirot. As part of the great changes caused by industrial and information revolution, the language used in Pirot began to change more rapidly and towards the end of the twentieth century, the tendency to abandon it was more and more evident. The end of this research is to clarify the causes of these phenomena. The processes are analyzed from the sociological and anthropological point of view with examples given to illustrate the language used. The basic method is observation with content analysis and archived materials used as well.

The purpose of this study was to analyze the new Palestinian science and math curricula in light of the skills for the 21st Century to investigate the extent to which these curricula are able to prepare citizens who have a balanced degree of skills they need to live effectively in the 21st Century. The researchers developed a rubric and then used as a general framework for content analysis of the curricula. The rubric consisted of twelve main themes; creativity and innovation, critical thinking and problem solving, communication, collaboration, information literacy, media literacy, information and communications technology literacy, flexibility and adaptability, initiative and self-direction, cross-cultural skills, productivity and accountability, and leadership and responsibility. Findings of content analysis indicated that the existing curricula represent the skills for the 21st century poorly with low focus and insufficient attention on most skills that had been analyzed. In a second section, the paper offers a general conceptual framework with relevant models for reshaping the curricula with relevant authentic tasks that emerge from the Palestinian socio-cultural context in order to enable students to accommodate the 21st century skills, and provide school teachers with tangible mechanisms to enhance students’ skills for the 21st century. The paper concludes with a set of policy recommendations, and suggestions for further research about the relevance and effectiveness of this conceptual framework, and the improvement models in the new Palestinian curricula.

Comprehensive Picture

Tourism in the 21st century is being re-shaped by constant changes in consumer trends. The Danube, Europe’s second-longest river, has rich potential for tourism over its whole course, and river cruises offer superb opportunities to explore. This study aims to provide a comprehensive picture of the most important characteristics of cruise tourism on the Danube. In our research, a literature review (LR) and content analysis (CA) were used to examine trends in the inland waterway cruise sector, which, despite the growing interest in the product, is still not deemed to be a part of mass tourism. Danube cruise tourism relies heavily on alternative (niche) tourism features, which satisfy both cultural and authentic tourism preferences. Currently, many elements of niche tourism are missing from the product supply, but, with a modest addition of such features, the demand for the product could increase and its economic performance in the period following the expected recession would be enhanced.
