Pertaining to the new migrant wave of Québec, Felicia Mihali professes a plural identity by personal example, depicted in her ten novels, as well as by building original narrative worlds in a literature of intranquility. The present analysis focuses on a kaleidoscope of feminine characters torn by individual histories or the collective History of (post)communism. She are at the same time (de)mythicalized and (de)mystified, thirsty women driven by migrant ardour, exiled to a real or imaginary somewhere else in search of resilience.

The purpose of this work is to construct a problematics of narrativity manifested in the diverse discourses of the Covid-19. It attempted to show some narrative and metaphoric features of this discursivity. The Covid-19 pandemic produced a variety of narratives and is also constructed by such narratives. This mutual constructiveness provides insight into narrative change strategies in the context of Covid-19 for the future. Now in the era of pre-Coronavirus (BC=before Coronavirus), the main narrative at the beginning of the age of 21 was how to create openness to move the narrative of the unsustainable state of populism and neoliberalism. Covid-19 expanded the semiotic space where narrative changes can occur. How do we make meaning in a global pandemic? The narrative semiotics may highlight some of the principles for changemakers who are moving forward in the world of Covid-19.

Geneva! Place du Rhône square, we can see a NON metamorphosing into a OUI on a large sky background, even though this small square is nestled between buildings. In order to successfully display this vision against the background of the sky and thus avoiding the buildings and signs of this square, Markus Raetz had to reduce from 90° to 66° the angle between the axis of vision of NON and that of OUI. If 90° is the right angle to hide one image from the other, wouldn't the OUI and NON images have a chance of appearing simultaneously at 66°? Would it then be a form related to the Duck-Rabbit? Precisely, not far from the famous Raetz' Rabbit, I found another one, on the famous Geneva altar painted by Witz!

This study analyzes the impact of a practical teaching of critical thinking on the writing skills of French language learners in an institutional context in Iran. Learners were divided into two groups, an experimental group and a control group; Honey's (2005) Critical Thinking Questionnaire was administered to the participants and their scores were analyzed to ensure that there was no significant difference between the two groups regarding their critical thinking abilities at the beginning of the training. Learners completed five semesters of coursework with identical course objectives and activities. However, the experimental group also received critical thinking training through media analysis, debates, and problem-solving activities. The analysis of the data, which consisted of qualitative analysis of students' writings in the middle and at the end of the training, indicates that the experimental group outperformed the control group in writing. These results imply that critical thinking activities had a positive impact on learners' writing skills since they allowed them to perform writing tasks by paying attention to the writing as a process, rather than only focusing on the final product.

From April 1st to April 6th, public broadcasting systems including MBC, KBS, and TBS continued to cover the news in the frame of ‘collusion between prosecution and media'. I analyzed the news frame in 4 research questions (RQ). RQ 1. Was the news frame accurate? RQ 2. Was the news frame balanced? RQ 3. Was the news frame impartial? RQ 4. “Who benefits (cui bono) from the news frame? As a result of the analysis, the news frame of ‘collusion between prosecution and media' in public broadcasting systems' wasn't ‘accurate', ‘balanced', and ‘impartial'. The news frame was for the benefit of the ruling powers. Even in the Moon Jae-in government Launched after the 2016 Candlelight Revolution, the pro-government reporting behavior of public broadcasting systems has not changed.

This paper outlines the interdisciplinary approach in my forthcoming monography “Horizon of Culinary Semiotics” (written in Korean, 2022). Based on Cultural Semiotics and Text Linguistics, it deals with semiotic characters of food, its modes of preparation, dining programs, behavior and etiquette of eaters, culinary discourse involved in it as well as aesthetics of culinary narratives. For that we investigate a wide range of semantic features of gustemes, semiotic square of eater types and food-related figuration of culturemes (=reality model): in short, semantics and syntax of spatio-temporal setting, kinemics of preparation and consumption, proxemics of table companions and pragmatic maxims for participant-interactions. These syncretisms in the kitchen (=ars culinae) of most societies, which are becoming more important in the era of globalization, should be here systematically described and explained by equally syncretic discipline of Culinary Semiotics by which I would like to (re-)formulate all the relevant contributions and connect them into a unified framework.

Writing a recipe is no easy task. It requires great care to render those various steps clearly, placing them in order, explaining the reasons for their importance in achieving the final result. However, over time the technique for writing a recipe, and consequently for composing an entire recipe book, has not just been perfected, but has reached fairly stable standards that, when reproduced, make teaching others to cook using the written word a fairly common practice. So, this article try to answer to the answers: How are recipes structured? What order do they follow when describing a culinary procedure?

In the context of a Catholic parish, the responsible leaders referred to in this article are the priests, and the collaborators are the faithful committed to volunteering for the functioning of the parish. Originally considered as noble people because of their function, several sensitive questions have tarnished the notoriety of priests. What happens when the leader's authority is weakened? Based on interviews with 30 priests and 20 volunteers, this study examines the reaction of each other in a situation of weakening the authority of the leader.

Confinement has been, for France, the best way to reduce the spread of Covid-19 pandemic. If confinement seems synonymous of respect of the environment, what presages the forthcoming deconfinement? American, Italian, French researchers do not hesitate to mention the links between fine particles pollution and the coronavirus spread. Two pandemic transmission ways are addressed, the transmission via buccal et nasal droplets spread by humans in the atmosphere and the virus survival and travel possibility on fine particles. Finally, the previous degradation of the respiratory system due to the massive spread of the fine particles in the atmosphere facilitate the virus penetration within the respiratory paths. Like Ebola, SARS-CoV, Asian flu, Aids, Covid-19 is related to the animal world. These increasingly virulent zoonoses illustrate the relationship between the human and the nature he is manhandling. Knowing that the biodiversity destruction becomes a humanity threat, will deconfinement and economic recovery take them into account for avoiding to reach the same environmental dead ends? In Europe and in France several voices request that economic recovery be accompanied by the consciences deconfinement.
