This article examines Christopher Marlowe’s iconoclasm as a dramatist by probing transgressive features in his Tamburlaine the Great, parts I and II. By depicting instances of excessive violence, from the perspective of this study, Marlowe flouts everything his society cherishes. His Tamburlaine demystifies religious doctrines and cultural relations; it challenges the official view of the universe and customary theatrical conventions of Renaissance drama. It destabilizes the norms and values of the Elizabethans and brings about a crisis between the Elizabethan audience and their own culture. Furthermore, Marlowe’s experimentalism in Tamburlaine expands the imaginative representations to include areas never formerly visited, consequently creating an alternative reality for his audience and transforming the popular English theatre in an unprecedented manner. Keywords: Drama, Christopher Marlowe, Elizabethan theatre, Literature, Iconoclasm

Efforts to explore various basic principles and ideals of Islamic education have become exciting studies in the discourse on Islamic philosophy. This study is even more interesting when juxtaposed with contemporary lessons such as multiculturalism and Islam Nusantara. Ironically, this discourse has stagnated in academic debate. In this context, the researcher uses a literature study approach by examining primary sources in the Islamic philosophical thought family. This research aims to see the philosophical basis with dimensions, principles, norms, and values ​​that live and use as human guidance. In this study, the researcher finds that from the perspective of Islamic philosophy, the basis of multiculturalism base on the Islamic doctrine of Rahmatallil'alamin. The common goal in the formation of humans is perfect humans as servants of Allah, social beings, and part of the universe. This basic principle is relevant to apply to humans in Indonesia who are diverse in culture, ethnicity, and religion.

Objective: The marketization of the different social instances has pointed the market as the main intermediary of the social and cultural constructions in contemporary society, including football. Therefore, this study analyzeshow the process of marketization takes place through the intertwining between football’s cultural dimensions and the market ideology. Method: Through an interpretative approach, we perform an ethnographic study in the universe of one Brazilian football club, Sport Club Internacional.Originality/Relevance: Contributing with previous studies on consequences of the marketization process, results indicate how marketing producers and consumers naturalize passion and consumption discourses around a market ideology, shaping the marketization process.Results: We observed that both marketing producers and consumers mix the notions of ‘supporting’ and ‘consuming’ in a single discursive structure. This intertwining involves the approximation of supporters’ passion to the notion of consumer, reinforced by discourses of professionalization e the creation of new products. This process is conducted under the influence of euroamerican spectacularization of sport.Theoretical Contributions: We use the lenses of cultural and market studies to analyze a football club, demonstrating that market ideology disseminates, among other possible forms, modifying specific cultural relations, as football passion. Football marketization involves, thus, the transformation of football as a consumption cultural phenomenon mediated by economic rationality.

Le but de recherches consiste en étude des particularités de tragédies sur Amir Timour crées et mises en scène en Europe occidentale aux XVIXX siècles, de leur sources, la vérité historique et la fiction artistique. Ce sont "Tamburlaine the Great" de Christopher Marlowe, "Tamerlan ou la Mort de Bajazet" de Jacques Pradon, "Tamerlan, a Tragedy" de Nicolas Rowe, "Tamerlan" de Lucien Kehren et autres. La nouvauté scientifique de recherche est en fait que les originaux des différentes tragédies sur Tamerlan créees dans les littératures de l’Europe de l’Ouest durant les XVI-XX siècles, sont analysés du point de vue philologique, leur particularités et généralités sont déterminés pour la première fois. Les résultats obtenus: La vie de mythe est plus dure que l’approche historique: si en Europe tout le monde a entendu le nom de Tamerlan peu connaissent son oeuvre et encore moins savent que son vrai nom est Amir Timur, nos recherches permettent donc de progresser dans la connaissance d’un personnage historique qui aura marqué l’Occident comme l’Orient. Conclusion: Il aura falut attendre les festivités du 660e anniversaire d’Amir Timour pour permettre aux spectateurs d’Ouzbékistan la découverte de ces belles oeuvres, mise en scène par les troupes des Théâtre National d’Opéra et de Ballet de Tachkent et Théâtre dramatique de Samarkand.

This article discusses the possibilities of audiovisual records as research data in intercultural relationships, or those that allow us to understand the Other. The research aims to contribute to the theory that is being developed on the nature and value of narratives in photographic and video representation and analysis of basic realities of teaching that are difficult to capture and quantify. Specifically, we examine whether audiovisual recording is a good tool for gathering and analysing information about intentions and interpretations contained in human relationships and practices. After presenting some epistemological and methodological dilemmas such as the crisis of representation in the social sciences or the «etic-emic» conflict and proposing some solutions taken from audiovisual anthropology, we analyse the nature of intercultural relationships in two schools –ethnographies– that support the study completed in 2011 and funded by the Spanish Ministry of Science and Innovation: the use of visual narratives as a substrate of intercultural relationships between culturally diverse kindergarten and primary education pupils. As an example, we describe how we discovered some categories that allow us to understand the universe of meanings that make sense of, determine and shape their cultural relations. Finally, we describe the contributions of NVivo 9, a software package that facilitates the analysis of photo and video recordings and narratives.Este artículo analiza las posibilidades de los registros audiovisuales como datos en la investigación sobre relaciones interculturales, o aquellas que van dirigidas al conocimiento del otro. Pretende contribuir a la teorización sobre el valor de las narraciones fotográficas y videográficas en la representación y análisis de realidades de la enseñanza que son difíciles de captar y cuantificar. Concretamente, estudiamos si el registro audiovisual es una buena herramienta para recoger y analizar información situada sobre las intenciones e interpretaciones contenidas en las relaciones humanas. Después de presentar algunos dilemas epistemológicos y metodológicos, como la denominada crisis de la representación en ciencias sociales o el conflicto «etic-emic», y de plantear algunas soluciones dadas desde la antropología audiovisual, analizamos la naturaleza de algunas situaciones de educación intercultural recogidas en los dos colegios –etnografías– que soportan el estudio finalizado en 2011 y financiado por el Ministerio de Ciencia e Innovación de España, sobre el uso de narraciones audiovisuales como sustrato de las relaciones entre el alumnado diverso culturalmente de educación infantil y primaria. A modo de ejemplo, describimos cómo hemos llegado a algunas de las categorías o constructos que llevan a entender el universo de significados que dan sentido a la vez que condicionan y configuran las relaciones interculturales de esos centros. Finalmente, describimos las aportaciones de algunas herramientas del software NVivo 9 en el análisis del contenido de registros y narraciones foto-videográficas.
