Resumo: Em sua obra literária, Sefi Atta ficcionaliza fluxos migratórios e experiências de globalização. Em textos como o romance Everything Good Will Come (2004) e a coletânea de contos News From Home (2010), experiências baseadas em opressões patriarcais e coloniais são evidenciadas e problematizadas. Dentre esses textos, o leitor encontra o conto Green, narrado do ponto de vista de uma criança. Ele retrata o momento em que os pais nigerianos da protagonista obtêm a documentação necessária para legalizar sua permanência nos Estados Unidos. A protagonista compartilha seu ponto de vista como representante da segunda geração de imigrantes, envolvendo o leitor nas experiências de seus pais. Com base na teoria da tripla mimese de Ricoeur (1994), este artigo pretende discutir o processo de construção de sentido no conto Green, captando seu contexto de criação, discutindo sua ficcionalização e, por fim, buscando compreender as possibilidades de recepção (ECO, 2004). Apoiando-se na teoria dos círculos miméticos, busca compreender os potenciais de sentido decorrentes desses diferentes processos de mediação narrativa.

Theorists of neoliberalism have placed dispossession and displacement at the centre of their analyses of the workings of contemporary global capitalism. Disability, however, has not figured centrally into these analyses. This essay attends to what might be comprehended as the crip echoes generated by dispossession, displacement, and a global austerity politics. Centring on British-Mexican relations during a moment of austerity in the UK and gentrification in Mexico City, the essay identifies both the voices of disability that are recognized by and made useful for neoliberalism as well as those shut down or displaced by this dominant economic and cultural system. The spatial politics of austerity in the UK have generated a range of punishing, anti-disabled policies such as the so-called ‘Bedroom Tax.’ The essay critiques such policies (and spatial politics) by particularly focusing on two events from 2013: a British embassy good will event exporting British access to Mexico City and an installation of photographs by Livia Radwanski. Radwanski's photos of the redevelopment of a Mexico City neighbourhood (and the displacement of poor people living in the neighbourhood) are examined in order to attend to the ways in which disability might productively haunt an age of austerity, dispossession, and displacement.

The Relationship

Thus can drawing conclusions about the relationship of the school with the community is essentially a very decisive tool in fostering and developing the personal growth of students in schools. If the relationship between the school and the community goes well, the sense of responsibility and participation of the community to advance the school will also be good and high. In order to create relationships and cooperation between schools and the community, the community needs to know and have a clear picture of the school they have obtained.The presence of schools is based on the good will of the country and the people who support it. Therefore people who work in schools inevitably have to work with the community. The community here can be in the form of parents of students, agencies, organizations, both public and private. One reason schools need help from the community where schools are because schools must be funded.

By early 1856, the Mollies’ target, James Gallagher, held land accounting for over 41 per cent of the acreage in Beagh and 31 per cent of its rental; seven tenancies accounted for the rest, with three of them joint-tenancies involving two to three households. Gallagher had acquired land cheaply during the Famine, by purchasing the ‘good will’ to a holding, that is, the customary right to rent it, from a tenant who emigrated to America. And in 1855 he acquired substantial sections of land held by Pat Kennedy and Widow Nancy Sweeney. The Mollies’ animosity to Gallagher in spring 1856 stemmed less from those transactions than from his determination to evict three families with houses on the land acquired from Sweeney and also a cottier family who had been paying him ‘black rent’ (labour) for a potato patch and a mud cabin.

This paper explores how the originally descriptive adjective good (e.g., “a good man”) developed degree modifier (e.g., “a good scolding”) and quantity modifier (e.g., “a good many people”) uses. The work is innovative in exploring the intensification potential of unbounded rather than bounded adjectives and in distinguishing between degree and quantity modification, the latter only recently gaining attention in the cognitive-functional literature. The developmental path of good will be linked to its construal in terms of scalarity, the process of subjectification, and the categorial shift from modification to submodification.

New Mexicans pride themselves on their ability to bridge multicultural divides. Part of what we are urged to understand as “enchanting” about the Land of Enchantment is its diverse cultural background. Native American, Hispano, and Anglo have existed side by side, at times with remarkable harmony and good will, for nearly two centuries. The Land of Enchantment is not altogether a fantasy. Many New Mexicans have shown an uncanny ability to bridge ethnic divides and find common ground in the interstices between cultures. The soil of New Mexico seems to be fertile ground indeed for producing cultural brokers. Margaret Connell Szasz admits that living in New Mexico makes her particularly attuned to the role of the cultural broker.

First Words

Mr Vice-Chancellor,May I thank you for coming to preside at this occasion, and thank everyone else for coming to be presided over – most especially my colleagues in the Faculty of Classics. You were not all here when I joined the Faculty eighteen years ago, but you have all helped to sustain the atmosphere of cooperation, good will, and intellectual adventure, which has made this Faculty such a wonderful place to work and teach in. There is much that I shall miss when I go. But that is not what I want to talk about now. To borrow the words of our Chairman, Ian DuQuesnay, I should like this occasion to be a party rather than a wake.What I want to say is this. It is too late now – twelve years too late – to apologize for not having given an Inaugural Lecture. There was no particular moment when I decided not to, just many many moments when other work seemed both more urgent and, to be honest, more interesting. The trouble with Inaugural Lectures is that you are expected to define your subject and say how it ought to be done. You begin by paying respectful tribute to your predecessor – in my case G. E. L. Owen, so the tribute would have been sincere and a pleasure to compose. But then comes the hard part, in which you set out ‘the aims and objectives’ (as the managerial language of our present rulers would have us call them) of your discipline. In other words, I would have had to tell myself and my colleagues where ancient philosophy in Cambridge ought to go and how it ought to get there.
