Volume and quality of information circulating in modern society is constantly increasing. To process, record and transfer which it is needed to employ more capacious means that ask for less effort while decoding and perception. This leads to the situation when a semiotically expanded heterogeneous text becomes dominant in the modern information society. This article deals with the means of information coding in heterogeneous texts which mean of transmission is the screen. The classification of information codes based on synthesis of information and semiotic theories is suggested. The case study of a film text demonstrates the codes employed to generate audio-visual message, device of semiotic “stacking doll” is described, the employment of which leads to the appearance of semiotic situation od sumulacrativity, which aim is to make the spectator believe in what is happening on the screen. This article is aimed at specialist audience: students, post-graduates, professors, linguists and others who are interested in general and linguistic semiotics.

Homogeneous texts are being replaced by heterogeneous texts that are called audio-visual ones; texts and teletexts belong to the most formed of them. On the ground of cinema and television the texts with the unique structure that combines verbal and non-verbal sense carriers apoeared. The aim of this work is to describe peculiarities of meaning articulation in the dynamic scope of such screen texts. To reach the aim the task to show how the basic elements of the screen “language” materialize in verbal and non-verbal units of the screen “speech” of polycode-multimodal text and how it constructs the general meaning of audio-visual narration is set. Also contamination of levels of meaning is being studied in this work and how it influences the trope. The research is being held on the case of the film text “Faust” by A. Sokurov. The analysis is being done on the space-time continuum, i.e. with the consideration of the movement in the film text. Units of the screen “speech” are being extracted from the chosen segments and analysed as the main sources of the meaning of audio-visual message as a whole; also the peculiarities of the meaning articulation on the denotational and connotational levels in space-time scope of polycode-multimodal text are being described. Apart from that, the process of semiotic interpolation of verbal and non-verbal units that leads to the generating of the transitional meaning and of the trope on the grounds of displacement and adjacency of the meanings is being studied. The author comes to the conclusion that integrity of verbal and non-verbal units in the space-time scope of the polycode-multimodal text, that results in trope generation, also leads to the semiotic situation of simulacrativity, whose main goal is to make the spectator believe that what is happening on the screen is real. This article is aimed at students, post-graduates, professors, linguists and others interested in general and linguistic semiotics.

Resumen.El artí­culo expone la necesidad de acercar el cineclubismo al ámbito académico con el uso del análisis interpretativo de secuencias como herramienta para enriquecer y construir la sesión cineclubista. El trabajo presenta como estudio de caso el análisis textual interpretativo de la dimensión operí­stica de las secuencias finales de El Padrino, parte III (Coppola, 1990). Se discuten ampliamente los resultados de este análisis y se utilizan para diseñar el contenido de un programa de mano que incluye fotogramas clave, información pertinente para la presentación de la pelí­cula y preguntas guí­a para el cinedebate. El trabajo concluye que el análisis genológico, intertextual y de los componentes formales de las secuencias clave de una pelí­cula permite encontrar premisas fundamentales del texto fí­lmico que sirven para diseñar estrategias de presentación y moderación de la sesión cineclubista, decidir el contenido de los materiales impresos que se entregan a los asistentes y armar la programación de ciclos. Se discuten las limitaciones del análisis cinematográfico como apoyo para la actividad cineclubista y se exponen algunas opciones para superar dichas limitaciones.Palabras clave: Análisis interpretativo de secuencias, El Padrino III, dimensión operí­stica, cinedebate, sesión cineclubista.Abstract.This article discusses the need to bring film clubbing closer to academic spheres by using interpretative sequence analysis as a tool to enrich and build the film club session. The paper presents, as a case study, the interpretive textual analysis of the operistic dimension in the final sequences of The Godfather, Part III (Coppola, 1990). The results of this analysis are widely discussed and then used to design the content of a hand programme that includes key frames, information relevant to the presentation of the film and guide questions to the film club debate. The paper concludes that the generic, intertextual and formal component analysis of the key sequences of a film, enables finding the main premises of the film text and using them to design presentation and moderation strategies within the film club session, planning the content of the printed materials that are handed in to the audience, and deciding the film club programme. The limitations of film analysis as a support for film club activities are discussed, and some options to overcome these limitations are offered.Key words: interpretative sequence analysis, The Godfather III, operistic dimension, film club debate, film club session.

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.

Abstract Culture shapes our basic sensory experience of the world. This is particularly striking in the study of religion and psychosis, where we and others have shown that cultural context determines both the structure and content of hallucination-like events. The cultural shaping of hallucinations may provide a rich case-study for linking cultural learning with emerging prediction-based models of perception.

Abstract Hoerl and McCormack demonstrate that although animals possess a sophisticated temporal updating system, there is no evidence that they also possess a temporal reasoning system. This important case study is directly related to the broader claim that although animals are manifestly capable of first-order (perceptually-based) relational reasoning, they lack the capacity for higher-order, role-based relational reasoning. We argue this distinction applies to all domains of cognition.

Abstract Sociocultural developmental psychology can drive new directions in gadgetry science. We use autobiographical memory, a compound capacity incorporating episodic memory, as a case study. Autobiographical memory emerges late in development, supported by interactions with parents. Intervention research highlights the causal influence of these interactions, whereas cross-cultural research demonstrates culturally determined diversity. Different patterns of inheritance are discussed.

Modern polishing, precision machining and microindentation techniques allow the processing and mechanical characterization of ceramics at nanometric scales and within entirely plastic deformation regimes. The mechanical response of most ceramics to such highly constrained contact is not predictable from macroscopic properties and the microstructural deformation patterns have proven difficult to characterize by the application of any individual technique. In this study, TEM techniques of contrast analysis and CBED are combined with stereographic analysis to construct a three-dimensional microstructure deformation map of the surface of a perfectly plastic microindentation on macroscopically brittle aluminum nitride.The bright field image in Figure 1 shows a lg Vickers microindentation contained within a single AlN grain far from any boundaries. High densities of dislocations are evident, particularly near facet edges but are not individually resolvable. The prominent bend contours also indicate the severity of plastic deformation. Figure 2 is a selected area diffraction pattern covering the entire indentation area.
