Time to Change the 'Change': Stigma and Support in Blogs about the Menopause by Keren Darmon

“…Furthermore, I examine the texts for indications regarding the 'sources and solutions for gender inequality in the workplace' (Gill, Orgad 2015: 340) and ask: What can this tell us about the networks' position vis-à-vis the menopause, feminism, and postfeminism?

La représentation sociale que les adolescents se font des aînés peut-elle influencer le développement de la pensée critique dialogique ? Étude d’une « scène » racontée par des adol... by Vanessa Molina, Marie-France Daniel, Karima Belguiti

“…Based on verbatim excerpts, the current study demonstrates how Moroccan teenagers display a tendency to distance themselves away from their personal experiences, to focus on others’ points of view and to co-construct convergences with their peers.

TROIS POÈMES DE STÉPHANE MALLARMÉ: A DEBUSSY-RAVEL COMPARISON by Attila FODOR

“…Beyond the natural differences of the two settings resulting from the particular view of their creators, there are also some important similarities in the employment of the constructive and expressing devices. Even the third mélodies, based on different verses of Mallarmé’s late period (Éventail by Debussy and Sourgi de la croupe et du bond by Ravel), show at least one significant characteristic in common: unlike the former two conceived in a basically tonal context, they rather present an expansion of these limits toward the atonality, in a vague musical discourse, just in the spirit of the pronounced abstractness of the poems. …”
