The article presents a “preposterous” updating of Don Quijote, in the face of trauma,contemporary slavery, and the importance of a social face-to-face, or interface, to help people to come out of their isolation inflicted on them by violence. The argument begins with the“updating” of a literary monument, an instance of cultural heritage that never lost its relevance for whatever era in which it functions. The focus on trauma makes this particularly necessary, since those on whom the stagnation and isolation violence cause has been inflicted,must be helped socially. Taking seriously not that but why some people seem “mad” is a collective task for humans. We can all contribute to that remedial interfacing. Through its special complexity, subtlety and temporality, art can facilitate this. The video installation DonQuijote: Sad Countenances presents an attempt to do this. Especially the episode “Who Is Do Quijote” is central in the article. There, some characters discuss the value and possibility of history, the authorship of Cervantes’ novel, and the importance of the literary imagination, while the figure of Don Quijote, in front of a large mirror, exposes himself to an artist-photographer who tries to capture his face.

The paper deals with various ways of presenting information in the verbal and nonverbal components of British and Bulgarian food advertisements.: The paper deals with various ways of presenting information in the verbal and the nonverbal components of British and Bulgarian food advertisements in a number of inconsistent and discrepant manifestations which provoke wrong guesses, hypotheses and presuppositions on part of text receivers and make them change the latters’ own axis of orientation and direction of thought as the narrative develops. These manipulative techniques on part of advertising agents lead to interestingness and curiosity on behalf of potential consumers towards the plot and the story, which will inevitably bring about desired expectations.

Modern Turkish novel developed in the 19th century, greatly inspired by the translations of foreign models. Since then, it has undergone a gradual transformation in terms of style, subject matter and innovative genres and modes of expression thanks to the potentials provided by local cultural and traditional literary sources. Of those, people’s ballads, court poetry and folkstories and songs which have celebrated the geographical, regional and natural characteristics of the homeland and which portrayed the forms of a relationship between the human and nature lie deep in the cultural memory and consciousness of the people. Such a literary climate enables novelists to weave several representations of this relationship between human and nature as a dominating metaphor or motif in their work. In this paper, I will trace the manifestations of this relationship and their artistic and literary functions in the novel Kuyucaklı Yusuf (Yusuf from Kuyucak) by Sabahattin Ali, and Ortadirek (The Wind from the Plain) by Yaşar Kemal.

Improving the status of the teaching profession is seen as an important prerequisite for increasing its appeal for both practicing teachers and university graduates who have obtained a teaching qualification. This state-of-the-art review looks into recent research in the field of creating and maintaining teacher identity and a sense of belonging to the profession of teaching in general, and foreign language teaching in particular. It provides a commentary on a number of issues related to the role of identity in conceptualising professionalism in the field of language teaching. Current research views teacher identity as a multifaceted, dynamic, and context-bound phenomenon, which is closely related to defining and negotiating one's self, and managing the affective domain. Different interpretations of professionalism are discussed, starting from the externally imposed form, sponsored and delineated by policy-makers, to its independent variety, stemming from individual teachers’ views and reflections on their own beliefs and actions. Sponsored professionalism is linked to the recent call for measurable accountability in education worldwide and in Bulgarian higher education.
