Given that Luigi Pirandello's 1930 Come tu mi vuoi (As You Desire Me) is about a woman's attempt to determine her identity, one would think that the play would be praised by feminists. In fact, some critics argue that it simply reinforces traditional gender norms. This essay offers a different feminist interpretation of the play, one that foregrounds the question of female agency, L'Ignota is the only character who may know the truth of her identity. That she withholds this truth from both the other characters and the audience is evidence of the play's feminism. The character retains the right to her self, placing both the other characters and the audience in the position of “lack” and not the plenitude associated with male authority and subjectivity. The unmasking of that plenitude as illusory is for some theorists at least a feminist gesture par excellence. By the conclusion of “As You Desire Me,” both characters and audience are confronted with a woman who refuses the usual rules of the game. The essay concludes by examining an earlier work of Pirandello's that also takes up the question of the identity of a woman. This suggests that perhaps a feminist re-evaluation of Pirandello's work is in order.

This text is an attempt to analyze selected elements of the incoherent narration in the first contemporary vampire movie from Sweden. Frostbite (directed by Anders Banke, 2006) is an image that reinterprets classical horror figures in various ways. The authors of the script use visual patterns from films and horror novels, intriguingly linking them with social criticism and a feminist perspective. The incoherent models of the narration may also be found in such strategies as mixing serious topics with comedy and dyschronic presentation of elements related to the plot’s time. By using these types of strategies the Swedish horror can be read as an attempt to create a hauntological reflection on the liminal status of vampires in postmodern fiction or even more general meditation on the spectral status of modern audiovisual media.

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to investigate how perceptions of team performance and teamwork processes relate to functional diversity appropriateness perceptions (FDAP), that is, whether one believes that the right functions are represented in a team. Thereby, the authors distinguish between perceptions of team managers and team members. Design/methodology/approach – The study involved a cross-sectional survey study among 48 sourcing teams from 12 multinational companies, all from different industries. Findings – Members’ and managers’ congruent perceptions of performance showed differential relationships with their perceptions of the team’s functional diversity appropriateness. For managers, perceptions of team performance and functional diversity appropriateness were directly and positively related. For team members, this relationship was moderated by teamwork behavior. Moreover, unlike team members, purchasing managers did not consider functionally diverse teams to be more suitable for executing sourcing tasks. Research limitations/implications – This study identified teamwork behavior as a critical element for explaining the differences in FDAP of members and managers of sourcing teams. Practical implications – Rather than homogenizing team structures, managers should stimulate good teamwork behavior that allows for an the integration of interests and insights from different functional areas. Originality/value – This study adds to functional diversity literature as well as perceptual distance literature by revealing how different team effectiveness criteria shape managers’ and members’ perceptions of functional diversity appropriateness.

Various adolescent health problems in Indonesia are so complex, not only related to physical but also related to psychosocial aspects. When teenagers have to struggle to recognize the sides of themselves that are experiencing physical-psychic and social changes due to puberty, society instead tries to hide everything about sex and leave teenagers with question marks in their minds. The view that sex is taboo, makes teenagers reluctant to discuss reproductive health with others. The lack of accurate and correct information about reproductive health makes teenagers seek access and explore themselves. Health education for adolescents needs to be provided with the right methods and media. Audiovisual media is a learning tool or media that uses video or mobile display, this media is a modern learning among the community and effective for teenagers so that they can absorb the material provided to the maximum.This study aims to determine the influence of audiovisual media on increasing adolescent knowledge about reproductive health. This research is a quantitative study with quasi-experimental design one group without control, with a sample of 50 respondents. Respondents measured the rate ofyears before and after intervention, namely health education using audiovisual media.The results of the study: dependent t-test dependent statistical test on post-test knowledge about reproductive health increased by 6.46 to 8.06 with p value of 0.000 indicating the influence of audiovisual media provision on improving adolescent reproductive health knowledge.

<p><strong>Resumen</strong></p><p>En el contexto de la cuarta ola del feminismo, caracterizada por una mayor visibilidad incentivada por el uso de los entornos virtuales y una más amplia participación digital, entendimos la posibilidad de hacer un llamamiento que sistematizara aportaciones varias en la profundización del análisis de las narrativas audiovisuales desde una perspectiva de género, pero también las nuevas estrategias y plataformas de representación, así como las herramientas del ciberactivismo y las prácticas comunicativas vinculadas a la movilización. Así, el entorno digital no tiene un carácter solamente instrumental sino sustancial contribuyendo a la transformación de las narrativas, de los discursos, de la capacidad de agencia; aunque también, y de la misma manera, de la difusión de discursos antifeministas y misóginos (Tortajada y Vera, 2021).</p><p><strong>Abstract</strong></p><p>This monograph brings together twenty-seven contributions that provide a plural and diverse view of audiovisual narratives. This gaze runs through the different audiovisual media starting with the cinema, a fundamental vehicle for gender socialization, television, VOD platforms and social networks. We have focused especially on the investigations that make visible the (under) representation of women in this field and the works spotlight on the analysis of the audiovisual narrative that contribute to making a balance and diagnosis of the current situation from the perspective of the “female agency”. The Open Tribune has fifteen contributions to the fields of knowledge of communication, digital culture and gender studies. Finally, the Reviews section presents five manuscripts of literary works.</p>
