MORFOLOGÍA Y SIGNIFICADO DE LA CAMA EN MARCEL PRÉVOST. DEL LECHO CONYUGAL AL CAMASTRO DEL ADULTERIO

El erotismo ha sido siempre una constante en la producción literaria de Marcel Prévost. Una sutil exaltación física del deseo que el escritor parisino proyectaba en la narrativa de aquellas escenas y situaciones que recreaba en sus textos. En muchas de ellas, la cama será el centro neurálgico de esa amatoria, generada o contenida, alrededor de la cual las mujeres burguesas tamizaban su existencia en el círculo social al que pertenecían. A lo largo del presente estudio profundizaremos en los significados de la cama, yendo desde la sacralidad del lecho conyugal a los camastros improvisados en lugares ocultos para consumar la infidelidad, concibiéndose este mueble de sueño y ensueño como dual representación física de libertad y sujeción entre los individuos. Abstract: Despite not being recognised by the literary critics as an erotic writer, Marcel Prévost frequently invokes the heightening of passionate love and the scenes which depict it. In many of them, the bed was the nexus of that ars amatoria, created or contained, around which Bourgeois ladies sifted their existence within the social circle they inhabited. This paper examines in depth the meanings of the bed, from a sacrosanct marital space to a clandestine mise-en-scene to consummate adulterous liaisons, approaching this piece of furniture, created for sleep and dreams, as a dual physical representation of freedom and subjection between individuals.

My First Affair

With the Japanese invasion of China in 1937, Yuan-tsung’s family moved to an inland city, Kunming, capital of Yunnan Province, or more precisely, to a backwater called Little Stone Village, where she accidentally met Double-Minister Sa, her father’s boss, and had her first affair. Though Yuan-tsung was only twelve, Sa fell for her, though not in any perverse or overtly erotic way; something about her made him want to talk, to reveal his private thoughts and struggles. His attention, inappropriate as it might have been, boosted her confidence about breaking into the social circle of her mother’s dreams.

PSYCHOLINGUISTSC DIRECTION OF APPEALS IN THE LETTERS OF LESIA UKRAINKA

In this article, we have substantiated the function of appeals in the letters of Lesya Ukrainka. We have studied the outgoing correspondence to Olga Kobylyanskaya. We analyzed the psycholinguistic orientation of appeals, conditions and factors of influence on the formation of linguistic products. We decoded the psychological meanings of the addresses and we interpreted the emotional saturation of specific units. It is a fact: writing is a fundamental unit of the epistolary text, within the framework of which the real traditions and relationships of correspondents are deciphered and interpreted. The formation of appeals, their appearance, emotional saturation is influenced by the personal and internal vicissitudes of the participants in communication and the social language environment. The issue of the peculiarities of the functioning of appeals in the letters of Lesya Ukrainka through multi-vector prisms is highlighted in the works of many linguists, in particular in the editions of S. Bogdan (semantic-syntactic, linguocultural, psycholinguistic and other aspects).), G. Arkulishin (lexical and semantic aspect), N. Zhuravleva (individual author's and one-time awards), etc. The purpose and objectives of the study is to identify and analyze the texts of personal outgoing correspondence of Lesya Ukrainka, in particular, correspondence with Olga Kobylyanskaya, to determine the psycholinguistic characteristics of the appeals in these letters and to study the emotional and expressive nature of linguistic neoplasms. Special attention is paid to appeals, expressed in a variety of ways, in which the conotativity and expressiveness of semantic linguistic units are encoded. In the letters of Lesya Ukrainka, a more intimate mood of communication is activated, expressed, in particular, in the existence of diminutive-affectionate and psychologically deep ones in the epistolary. The psychology of the ethnos is realized in the epistolary text through the use of well-grounded adjectives that give the language of writing a kind of folk song, folklore coloring. The etymological analysis of Olga Kobylyanskaya's references helps to create a complex psychological portrait of the addressee. So, great importance in the formation of opinions and the formation of thinking of Lesya Ukrainka is played by his education, social circle, interests, desires, activities and psychological organization.

Fulvia Enters the Scene

Fulvia first appears in the sources after her marriage to P. Clodius Pulcher. Their union was arranged by her stepfather, Gaius Licinius Murena, to help Clodius recover from a career-damaging scandal: he had been caught, dressed in women’s clothing, at an exclusively female ritual in honor of the goddess Bona Dea; he had snuck in for a tryst with the hostess of the event, the wife of Caesar. Marriage to Fulvia offered Clodius a certain amount of respectability; marriage to Clodius gave Fulvia entrée into a more exclusive social circle than she could have otherwise aspired to. The union was a happy one that produced two children, a son and a daughter, and it lasted until Clodius was murdered by his political rival, Milo. Fulvia played a crucial role in whipping up popular sentiment against Milo, and her testimony helped secure his eventual conviction for the crime.

Life with Curio and Antonius

Fulvia’s second, brief marriage was to C. Scribonius Curio, who moved in the same social circle as Clodius and who had been an ardent supporter of his in the aftermath of the Bona Dea scandal. As the alliance between Pompey and Caesar broke down in the late 50s, Curio worked ardently to remain neutral, but he finally threw in his lot with Caesar after Pompey’s allies blocked his efforts to negotiate a peaceful settlement. Curio died in north Africa, fighting for Caesar in the Civil War, leaving Fulvia to raise their son. Her third marriage, this time to M. Antonius, produced another two sons. She once again brought respectability and stability to her husband, whose career had suffered from a series of missteps. He seems to have been smitten with Fulvia, even giving up his mistress Volumnia (the actress known as Cytheris) to please her.

Heterogeneous node copying from hidden network structure

Node copying is an important mechanism for network formation, yet most models assume uniform copying rules. Motivated by observations of heterogeneous triadic closure in real networks, we introduce the concept of a hidden network model—a generative two-layer model in which an observed network evolves according to the structure of an underlying hidden layer—and apply the framework to a model of heterogeneous copying. Framed in a social context, these two layers represent a node’s inner social circle, and wider social circle, such that the model can bias copying probabilities towards, or against, a node’s inner circle of friends. Comparing the case of extreme inner circle bias to an equivalent model with uniform copying, we find that heterogeneous copying suppresses the power-law degree distributions commonly seen in copying models, and results in networks with much higher clustering than even the most optimum scenario for uniform copying. Similarly large clustering values are found in real collaboration networks, lending empirical support to the mechanism.

Does Political Ideology Affect Social Bonds Among College Students in India Today?

Political ideology has played a significant role in shaping humans and their interactions with other humans since the emergence of modern political systems around the world, however, it may not have been as ubiquitous as it is in today’s day and age. These days, political ideology may affect people’s everyday choices, even what kind of people they want in their social circle. In college spaces where people engage in political discourse actively; it may impact the already existing bond among peers or lead to a dissociative behaviour. It may also have no impact at all. In this research we try to study the extent to which someone’s political ideology governs their choice of selecting or dissociating from certain social circles based on similarities or differences of political opinion. The existing literature is mostly centered on people being divided into political cleavages for elections or how family and friends play a role in shaping one’s ideology. In this research we try to study how political ideology is always at work and how it can impact the way the youth bond with their peers.

Friends and Lovers

Friendship was the vital centre of Woolf’s life and she had a diverse social circle. She was not always kind about her friends, particularly those for whom she felt most complexly and passionately. On first impression Mansfield is ‘cheap’ and ‘stinks like a … civet cat’ (D1 58); Vita Sackville-West fares no better: she is ‘florid, moustached, parakeet coloured’ (D2 216); E. M. Forster is ‘timid as a mouse’ (L2 63), and Ethel Smyth’s friendship feels ‘like being caught by a giant crab’ (L4 171). Yet this menagerie of friends were important companions, sparring partners, and love(r)s. They provoked, affirmed, and inspired her, prompting her admiration for qualities she felt she did not possess. She valued these friends and depended on them for love and to satisfy her complicated, unconventional, and sometimes contradictory needs and desires. This chapter explores some of Woolf’s closest relationships in this light.

»Sanctity of life« as a familiological issue in the statements of Pope Francis

The article presents a theological analysis of Pope Francis’ statements on the sanctity of life with reference to familiological issues. The aim of the research undertaken is to show the value of human life resulting from the relationship between the elements that create the created reality and with God. According to Francis, holiness is closeness to God and the ‘divine space’ in which all creation exists and functions. The sanctity of »life« is shown by the Pope in the following aspects: 1) theological – as an expression of the integration of creation with God, 2) social – as the principle of existence and relations, and 3) defensive – as an imperative to defend the life of every human being. The family is presented by the Pope as a sanctuary of life, a place of sanctifying love and a school of holiness. The conclusions resulting from the theological analysis of papal statements indicate the need for a ‘familiological turn’ encompassing the space of culture and civilization of the contemporary world. Such a turn is necessary for the good of the man for whom the family is the first social circle. The sanctity of life in the familiological area is the principle that defines the sacredness of the family and the determinant of intra-family relationships that develop love.
