The Veil

Traditional criticism of the Gothic novel, following a topography of the self derived from Freud, has linked sexuality with depth, repression with surface. Gothic convention, however, especially as Ann Radcliffe and M. G. Lewis use it, links surfaces with sexuality and contagion. The Gothic view of character is a social one, and it is concerned with writing and reference. The tracing and retracing of quasi-linguistic markings on surfaces establish personal identity, but only from outside, ex post facto, and through a draining tension between the code and its material support. The repetitious, fixating process of ocular confrontation by which characters recognize themselves and one another is like the process by which readers recognize thematic conventions.

Strict ethical considerations were observed during the study. The study established that there was a positive and significant relationship between self-efficacy of orphaned children and individual guidance and counselling services. The study’s recommendations were that the government should come up with policies to guide all the orphanages in Kenya, including the process of guiding and counselling. Every orphanage should also engage the services of a qualified guiding and counselling specialist for the orphans and should be paid well to avoid high turnover. Individual guiding and counselling services should be encouraged in orphanages as they are effective. They help the orphans open up and share challenges and enable them to solve serious life’s challenges.

Andrew McMillan’s poetics dissects the physical minutiae of love and desire, enacting ex post facto a sexual and sexualized innocent pleasure. The scenes play out places such as classrooms, trains, locker-rooms, phone booths, and attic bedrooms, and often reference liquids. Tears, sweat, rain, rivers, blood, and sperm are associated with loss and mourning, a wet erotic (childhood) innocence remembered from a dry(er) perspective of experience and awareness of masculinity. In a post-Thatcher neoliberal framework, McMillan explores scenes of masculinity. Playtime is divided into two parts; if these two parts can be provisionally labeled “before” and “after”—a facile distinction between innocence and experience—McMillan’s style and form break down this narrative and open up to fluidity, questioning the possibilities of pleasure (in)formed by neoliberal ideals.

And Migration

This essay explores David Bowie’s so-called “Berlin Triptych”: Low, “Heroes”, and Lodger. The essay takes issue with previous interpretations that have claimed that the albums do not form a “triptych” of any meaningful kind, and that this pretentious term was only applied ex post facto as a marketing strategy. At the heart of my argument is the concept and experience of migration. In the mid-1970s David Bowie was living in Los Angeles at a highpoint of fame and acclaim. His life, however, was also an increasingly hellish nightmare of delusion, paranoia, and cocaine psychosis. In order to save his music, and his life, the singer decamped to Europe. For the next several years he lived an itinerant life with Berlin at its centre. The experience of displacement, and a series of encounters that this displacement facilitated (with the European new wave and a longer tradition of avant-garde modernism), led to both a reshuffling of the self and a radical new sound. The “triptych” tells the story of this progression, both narratively and sonically.

El presente estudio tuvo como objetivo analizar el proceso de autorregulación académica en estudiantado universitario, según las estrategias de aprendizaje, emociones y creencias motivacionales percibidas por este. Se desarrolló un estudio de tipo empírico, cuantitativo, ex post facto. La muestra estuvo constituida por 83 estudiantes de universidad del primer año de la carrera de Psicología de Corrientes, Argentina. Se aplicaron tres instrumentos de medición para evaluar en una primera instancia la motivación y emociones de cada estudiante antes y después de efectuar una tarea determinada y en un segundo momento las estrategias de aprendizaje percibidas. En función de los objetivos y teniendo en cuenta las variables y sus dimensiones, se ejecutaron ANOVAS de un factor y MANOVAS para el análisis de datos. En los resultados obtenidos, se encontraron diferencias significativas en la ansiedad del estudiantado según el sexo y la edad, y la concentración para cumplir una tarea según el sexo. También se observaron diferencias significativas en la tarea elaborada según el procesamiento de información del alumnado, la competencia subjetiva percibida y la emoción centrada en el resultado que este presentó. The importance of student self-regulation was observed which is consistent with the reviewed literature. Self-regulation was perceived as leading to the attainment of goals via the cognitive and emotional pathways. Future research recommendations include increasing the sample size as well as including other variables to obtain a broader picture of the self-regulation process.
