Preliminary Study

Este estudio preliminar funciona como contextualización sintética de la sección monográfica, planteando las premisas iniciales y una fundamentación teórico-crítica. La pretensión es doble: plasmar la necesidad de defensa de la existencia de una tradición femenina en el ámbito de la literatura de lo irreal y sintetizar los aspectos esenciales que conviene considerar en el análisis de dicha creación en el siglo XXI, entre ellos el hibridismo genérico, la significación del espacio doméstico y corporal, la relevancia de las voces narradoras de mujer, el protagonismo femenino con una marcada agencia, el modo de abordar la monstruosidad, así como las perspectivas feministas y de compromiso social y político.  Abstract: This preliminary study serves as a brief contextual framework of the following monographic section, including its cornerstones and a theoretical background. It has two goals: the claim of a female tradition in the field of unreal literature, and a synthesis of the essential aspects which must be taken into account in the analysis of this type of writing in the 21st Century, including genre hybridity, domestic and corporeal space signification, the relevance of women’s narrative, the prominence of female characters as agents, the ways in which monstrosity is tackled, as well as feminist, social and politically engagée perspectives.

Representation Of Sexuality

Eduard Cuelenaere, Gertjan Willems & Stijn Joye Same same same, but different: a comparative film analysis of the Belgian, Dutch and American Loft Against the theoretical background of the concept ‘karaoke-Americanism’, this article compares the Belgian, Dutch and American version of the film Loft. Several (dis)similarities in the representation of sexuality, female characters, and ethnicity, as well as some formal changes, are observed. By combining these results with self-conducted, in-depth and press interviews with the filmmakers of these films, it is ascertained that, although the three versions share a similar use of specific Hollywood conventions, the changes in representation were motivated by perceived cultural differences. Building on known cultural stereotypes and clichés, filmmakers reinforce specific cultural (and national) identities, with the aim of enhancing the recognizability for their local audiences. In conclusion, the Dutch and Belgian filmmakers, in an attempt of localizing the universal, realized a hyperreal version of their own or another culture.

Challenging Tasks

Studying and representing grammatical paradigms of phraseological units is one of the most challenging tasks of Russian phraseology. The electronic resource «Lexicographer's Library» enables to keep track of the time when words and idioms are introduced into the language, the system of their meanings, semantic dynamics, historical stylistic dynamics, and communicatively dependent variation. The phraseological unit vstavit' (svoi) pyat' kopeek (= interfere into other people’s affairs) is generally used to denote a speech act, the other occurrences are rare. The unit emerged in late 1990s and the 21st century marked the peak of its use. The statistics of its use by certain authors shows that female authors are less enthusiastic with it while male authors are inclined to attribute it to female characters. The unit appeared as the euphemism for a much ruder expression that means «to poke one’s pig nose into other people’s affairs».
