ANALYZING THE SPEECH EXPRESSIVENESS USING PROSODIC DYNAMIC CONTROL

Author(s): Valentin Eugen Ghisa,Lavinia Nicoleta Ghisa / Language(s): English / Issue: 1/2018

At the level of verbal communication, the prosodic support and emotional space is modelled as a nonlinear system described through some parameters extracted from the spectral model of vocal wave, respectively the outline of the fundamental frequency, the time and energy of sonorous segments, the duration of non-acoustic segments and breaks, the voice timbre etc. Through the discretised addressing of the spectral model, the aim is to optimise the prosodic characteristics extracted from local variations of the fundamental frequency, by a method of dynamic control.

AND THE TRUTH SHALL SET YOU FREE. TRUTH COMMISSIONS AND CIVIL-MILITARY RELATIONS

Author(s): Michael Deloach / Language(s): English / Issue: 1/2015

For societies suffering in the wake of a repressive regime, truth commissions may be a necessary compromise regarding the form of transitional justice pursued, but they can still play a far-reaching role in the democratization of civil-military relations. Because the perpetrators of past abuses are likely to continue to wield some level of power at the time of transition, prosecution of these members may be politically infeasible. Lacking the mandate to prosecute guilty parties or implement recommendations, truth commissions can still lay the foundation for a new era of civil-military relations. By distinguishing contemporary institutions from their past acts, revealing the patterns that allowed abuses to be carried out , and helping garner the political will for reforms, truth commissions can provide the impetus for the security sector reforms necessary to ensure a democratic future.

Australia as America’s “Little Brother”

A Satiric Reading of John Howard in Andrew McGahan’s Underground

Author(s): James Dahlstrom / Language(s): English / Issue: 19/2016

In this article, I read Andrew McGahan’s novel Underground as a criticism of the Australian government under the leadership of John Howard in the era following the September 11th attacks on the World Trade Center. I draw out the satire of Howard’s perceived role as President George W. Bush’s little brother, which becomes a synecdoche for Australia’s relationship with America. I situate the novel in the context of America’s cyclically neo-colonial history in Australia and draw upon the work of Homi K. Bhabha to suggest that McGahan portrays Australians as an “in-between” people who are guilty of adopting American policies—and thereby relinquishing control of their nation’s sovereignty to America—without compunction. I further suggest that, in the tradition of satire, the novel could be read as a warning to Australians against following the United State too closely. With the rise of the self-proclaimed Islamic State, Australia has witnessed the re-emergence of the political climate that is reflected in Underground, renewing its relevance to contemporary audiences.

Austrougarske utvrde u Hercegovini Obrambena crta: Kalinovik, Ulog-Obrnja, Nevesinje, Stolac (die zweite linie)

Author(s): Manuel Martinovic / Language(s): Croatian / Issue: 1/2015

Immediately upon arrival in Bosnia-Herzegovina in 1878, Austria-Hungary started building a new fortification system adjusted to modern warfare and contemporary military tactics.With the construction of the fortification belt along the border with Montenegro in the areas of Trebinje and Bileca, the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy established first defensive line in Herzegovina, which was a guarantee of the eastern borders protection. As a backup, second defensive line was set in the belt of Kalinovik, Ulog-Obrnja, Nevesinje and Stolac. Beside these, there were very well-fortified cities of Sarajevo and Mostar, the latter being a background support to the first two mentioned Herzegovinian lines. Coming from the north, there was a line of three fortifications and large barracks in Kalinovik, the complex of Ulog-Obrnja with barracks and a fort above, which was a special type of 'moat' fortification, then Nevesinje with a fort and defensive barracks and finally Stolac with three forts and a large complex of defensive barracks. During World War I all the Austro-Hungarian forts in Herzegovina fulfilled their defensive function.Unfortunately, the devastation of the Austro-Hungarian military fortifications, which began with the fall of the Monarchy, has continued up to day. Although the objects were built in the period between 1878 and 1918, they have kept not only historical but also aesthetic value.The fact that only three Austro-Hungarian forts have been registered as national monuments (Bijela Tabija in Sarajevo - due to an older complex on the same site, Stolac - for the same reason as the previous, and Vraca in Sarajevo - as a location of World War II events) shows the negligence of the state for the fortifications more than 130 years old.

Authenticity and Cultural Heritage Connections within Food Culture

Author(s): Florinela Florea / Language(s): English / Issue: 22/2017

Our paper focuses on the problem of authenticity as a fundamental element in the definition of cultural heritage. From a cultural semiotic point of view, food is considered as a language, as a system of meaning in the processes of cultural communication. On the one hand, including food practices in the category of intangible cultural heritage implies their designation as authentic, as representative of the community. On the other hand, the search for authenticity is an explicit objective of ethno-anthropological research, a qualitative research whose results can be influenced by the perishability of the relational, dialogical nature of the intangible heritage. There is an important economic aim for the tourism area, trying to recover the local specificities and the tradition. Modern culinary discourse (advertising, media, and menus in restaurants) is sometimes subject to a constructivist logic of authenticity. In relation to food practices considered as a system of meaning in the process of cultural communication, this cultural semiotics of the intangible cultural heritage discovers and researches the authentic identity while preserving the relation of otherness.
