Social Meanings

The research objective is analysis of the semantic structure of processual nouns with social meanings. The «processual» nouns are understood as those that model a process. The «social meaning» is viewed as a social process that goes beyond the sphere of an individual personality’s personal interests. The social process from the semantic point of view is a more complicated type than other processes since its semantic structure includes obligatory participants of this process which are called «actants» in the terminology of verb-centric theory.Four main components of the social situation are defined: three of them are actant ones («a subject of the process», «an object of the process», «an adject of the process») and one component is «processual» implying realization of social impact without an explicit reference to one of the actants. These semantic subclasses represent «categorical» characteristics of processual nouns with social meaning. In addition to them, «criterial» semantic features are highlighted, which can be divided into two subclasses. The first one is a group of «situational » semantic characteristics, which include features that identify the correlation between simple situations within the complex ones: «temporal», «theleological» and «motivational» plans. The «semantic plan» includes a generalized semantic category, which is implemented through the opposition of at least two specific semantic features. The features that consider the correlation between actants situation are called «interactant» ones, including features of «interactive», «hierarchical » and «axiological» semantic plans. Thereafter, the researcher considers the frequency representation of the abovementioned semantic categorial and criterial semantic features of the processual nouns with social meanings based on the material of the modern novel «Taft»by an American author Ann Patchett. The book is highly acclaimed by foreign critics and received Janet Heidinger Kafka Prize and Nashville Banner Tennessee Writer of the Year Award in 1994. Frequency analysis enables to identify relevant and irrelevant features which constitute the components of the semantic structure in the novel under the study.

AbstractThis paper addresses the issue of posthuman bodies in Kazuo Ishiguro’s novel Never Let Me Go against the background of organ transplants and prosthetic surgery. The novel posits a number of questions about what qualifies a human being and/or what distinguishes a human being from a clone, suggesting that art, perhaps, might be a discriminating factor. Further, it also raises questions about the kind of regulation should be applied to organs “donations,” especially when they are not voluntary, but part of a programmed response inscribed in someone’s DNA. Accordingly, the last section of the paper will investigate the social impact of the exploitation of the clones and the medico-legal issues pertaining to it.

The World

In the digital era, social media has become a space for the socialization and interaction of citizens, who are using social networks to express themselves and to discuss scientific advances with citizens from all over the world. Researchers are aware of this reality and are increasingly using social media as a source of data to explore citizens’ voices. In this context, the methods followed by researchers are mainly based on the content analysis using manual, automated or combined tools. The aim of this article is to share a protocol for Social Media Analytics that includes a Communicative Content Analysis (CCA). This protocol has been designed for the Horizon 2020 project Allinteract, and it includes the social impact in social media methodology. The novel contribution of this protocol is the detailed elaboration of methods and procedures to capture emerging realities in citizen engagement in science in social media using a Communicative Content Analysis (CCA) based on the contributions of Communicative Methodology (CM).

This chapter examines the boom in Scottish literary fiction during the 1980s and 1990s, and the rhetoric of its presentation as a ‘new renaissance’. With this label came remarkably strong claims for the political efficacy of the contemporary literary novel — a phenomenon that has not attracted the interest it deserves from literary historians outside Scotland. In the two decades prior to devolution, the emergence of formally ambitious Scottish novelists sponsored a conflation of fiction and democracy which figured the novel as the locus of national self-representation and reinvention. While there is clear evidence of these writers’ influence on the self-image of post-devolution Scotland, a closer examination of their fiction and its staging of ‘Scottishness’ complicates any straightforward affiliation with cultural nationalism. The ‘new renaissance’ discourse, this chapter suggests, both inflates the social impact of these novelists and delimits the politics of their writing to the display of suppressed ‘identity’.

Pilgrimage Tourism

The systematic study of church fairs, especially those of urban parishes in large urban centers, as carried out in recent years, has shown that there are many new customary and ritual forms that are created and adopted, often transformed to be enriched and made more attractive to the people. Ιn this notice we will deal with certain interesting aspects of this contemporary customary reality. Through this adoption of customary forms, with their subsequent changes and amendments by the people on the basic characteristics of its live tradition, both the renewal of the tradition and the enrichment of the customary life of the people is achieved. This, in turn, is essential for the vitality and the continuation of the social impact and the acceptance of the tradition, which is an active procedure in progress, and not a set of fossilized situations, things, opinions, and actions. This is directly connected to the interior pilgrimage tourism since the organized visits of the believers to a place are frequent, specifically in order to take part in some great religious festival, which takes place there. In this process, the so critical from a cultural perspective since it's linked to the substance of our daily tradition itself, the novel elements of our contemporary religious fairs are critical points, as shown above in detail.
