"Amidst the 'Glossary of Commonly Misused Words' in the Writers Digest Grammar Desk Reference, the adverb hopefully is demonstrated in its proper usage with a fortune cookie message that reads: 'It is sometimes better to travel hopefully than to arrive'. (Lutz, 332) This paper takes its character from a similar elaboration from within its purpose. In the most simple way, that purpose is to formulate a critical explanation of the studio works as surveyed and documented. As explication, it imbues its meaning as a manner of traveling hopefully upon the arrival of the action of the project. This might seem simple enough but in order to contextualize both the studio works and the explication the reader will be required to play the double game of both conceptually traveling and perceptually arriving. Though it may seem arbitrary, there is no other way any higher possibility of agreement between text and object could be arranged. To argue on behalf of the studio works would prioritize perceptual arrival over the viewer's experience and to realize art about theories is easily a misuse of the word hopeful"--From the introduction, page 3.

Second Wave

A third wave feminist approach to feminist oral history, this research essay blends both the visual and the oral as text. We critique a feminist artist's art along with her words so that her representation can be seen and heard. Focusing on three art pieces, we analyze the artist's body to conceptualize agentic ways to understand the meanings of feminist art and feminist oral history. We offer a third wave feminist approach to feminist oral history as method so that feminists can consider adaptive means for recording oral histories and challenging dominant symbolic order.

Objectif Déterminer si des caractéristiques de la mère ou des complications obstétricales sont associées à un risque accru de troubles du spectre autistique (TSA) chez l’enfant. Méthodologie Selon les dossiers d’accouchements de la province, 218 890 naissances vivantes uniques ont été recensées en Alberta (Canada) entre le 1er janvier 1998 et le 31 décembre 2004. En nous basant sur les codes de diagnostic de la CIM9 établis par les médecins au moment de la facturation, nous avons suivi ces sujets jusqu’au 31 mars 2008 afin de déterminer s’ils étaient atteints d’un TSA. Les facteurs de risque maternels et obstétricaux ont également été extraits du PDR (Physicians Desk Reference). Résultats Les données relatives à la prévalence et à l’incidence des TSA en Alberta concordent avec celles qui ont été enregistrées ailleurs et semblent indiquer une hausse récente des taux de diagnostic ou d’incidence. La prévalence des TSA était cinq fois plus élevée chez les garçons que chez les filles. L’âge auquel le diagnostic était le plus souvent posé était de 3 ans. La modélisation du risque relatif a indiqué que le risque de TSA était élevé chez les enfants nés d’une mère plus âgée ou lorsqu’il y a eu des complications pendant la grossesse ou l’accouchement. Conclusion Certaines caractéristiques de la mère et complications obstétricales sont associées à un risque accru de TSA chez l’enfant. Dans le cas des enfants nés d’une mère autochtone, nous avons constaté que les taux de TSA étaient plus faibles et que le diagnostic était posé à un âge plus tardif, des conclusions qui devront faire l’objet de recherches approfondies.

The Subject

Ivan Cankar (1876–1918), who occupies an honorable place in the Slovenian cultural canon, once changed the course of development of Slovenian literature and influenced the formation of national identity. The national narrative of Cankar was based on contradictions: living far from his people, he sometimes glorified them and sometimes attacked them with heavy criticism; he correlated his homeland with his mother, the mother though being dead. Cankar’s concentration on the subject of mother and homeland is interpreted here in the framework of psychoanalysis. Following Slavoj Žižek, the author develops the idea that it was the mother who became the Symbolic Order representative or Super-Ego for the writer. The concept of “Cankar’s mother”, which became a symbol of self-sacrifice and at the same time repressiveness in the Slovenian cultural space, is considered.

In her debut book Dolore minimo, Giovanna Cristina Vivinetto engages in a reflection on motherhood to recount an autobiographical story of gender self-determination and male to female transition. This article explores Vivinetto’s poetry as the retelling of transformative moments in two mother–daughter relationships, which generate a reshaping of life and language. In the book, these two storylines intersect, blur, and even overlap, creating a poetic discourse in which the maternal acts simultaneously as powerful catalyzer and producer of meanings. In discussing how, in Dolore minimo, the relationship of two atypical mothers becomes the creative site of a new possible symbolic order, my analysis engages an atypical approach: it reads Vivinetto’s queer representation of motherhood via the theorization developed by the women of Diotima—including, in particular, Luisa Muraro, Chiara Zamboni, Diana Sartori, and Ida Dominijanni. These feminist thinkers have been generally criticized for reinforcing binary understandings of sex and gender, based on an essentialist view of the category of woman. Yet, what if the feminism forwarded by Diotima, by positioning the feminine as a creative producer and first-person narrator of change, could still offer a productive avenue for dialogue? The article begins with a discussion of Diotima’s key theorizations, which lays the groundwork for interpreting the maternal poetics of Dolore minimo. The subsequent sections examine in more depth how Vivinetto’s poetry has reinvented the figure of the mother as a teacher and learner of new words, and how, through this reinvention, she has crafted a maternal language that knits together new relations of contiguity and change. Ultimately, by redeploying the figure of the mother beyond cisgender norms, Vivinetto’s poetry is revealing the inexhaustible vitality of this character.
