Painting Words: Aesthetics and the Relationship between Image and
Text addresses the importance of dialogue between art and
literature, text and image in our image-saturated era. In a
globalized world, isolation and compartmentalization hinder us
back, whereas the Romantic idea of belonging urges us to look
beyond and to build bridges. Bearing this Romantic spirit in mind,
rather than focusing on a traditional paragonal approach, this book
puts forward the benefits of alliance by offering an
interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary perspective. Illustrations
are included to guide the reader into comparativism and intermedial
encounters, while providing an inspiring overview of the literary
and visual department both in Europe and America from the
Renaissance to the twentieth century. The different essays lead us
through an aesthetic exploratory journey by the hand of Cervantes,
Shakespeare, Felicia Hemans, Emily Eden, William Wordsworth, Edgar
A. Poe, Flannery O'Connor, N. Scott Momaday, Jose Joaquin de Mora,
Wallace Stevens and Jose Angel Valente, among others. Editors,
Beatriz Gonzalez Moreno and Fernando Gonzalez Moreno have brought
together an international group of scholars around the idea of
"painting words," which they define as the pictorial ability of
language to stir the reader's imagination and the way illustrators
have "read" literary works over the course of centuries. Many
traditional comparative studies examine literature belonging to
specific time periods or movements, far less frequently do they
bridge visual culture with text-- Painting Words: Aesthetics and
the Relationship between Image and Text aims to do just that.

This book offers a theoretical and epistemological-methodological
framework as an alternative approach to the
instrumental-descriptive methodology that has prevailed in
psychology to date. It discusses the differences between the
proposed approach and other theoretical and methodological
positions, such as discourse analysis, phenomenology and
hermeneutics. Further, it puts forward a proposal that allows the
demands of studying subjectivity to be addressed from a
cultural-historical standpoint. The book mainly highlights case
studies that have been conducted in various countries, and which
employ or depart from the theoretical, epistemological and
methodological proposals that guide this book. The research
discussed here introduces readers to new discussions on theoretical
and methodological issues in subjectivity that have increasingly
attracted interest.
This book draws upon Vygotsky's idea of perezhivanie, emotions and
imagination, and introduces the concepts of subjective sense and
subjective configuration. These concepts are crucial for explaining
and understanding children's development from a cultural-historical
perspective. A book which theorises the relations between the
social and the individual through a study of a child's
perezhivanie, which analyses emotions more holistically, and
advances the concepts of subjective sense and subjective
configuration, is much needed. This book examines the complexity of
human development through a comprehensive elaboration of these
concepts, allowing for new insights to be put forward. It doesn't
always follow the chronological order of Vygotsky's publications,
as many of his works remained in the family archives until the
1980s, when his Selected Works were first published in Russian.
There has long been a need for a contemporary book on the scholarly
treatment of perezhevanie, emotions, and subjectivity, and as such
this book revisits dominant representations of these concepts and
then puts forward new ways of conceptualising and using them in
empirical research. The chapters cover a broad range of case
studies where the concepts of perezhivanie, emotions and
imagination and subjective sense and subjective configuration are
used to give new empirical and theoretical insights into the study
of human development.

This book is a reference for continuous improvement project (CIP)
leaders/facilitators in manufacturing and service organizations,
students (undergraduate and graduate), academics responsible for
managing senior projects (Capstone Projects) and teaching quality
courses, and researchers interested in how organizations could
produce more effective and efficient continuous improvement
initiatives and projects. The authors collected and analyzed
information and results from CIPs they facilitated or co-advised,
such as the improvement of the service level in a bottle
manufacturing organization, reduction of changeover in a brewery
manufacturing organization, reduction of ambulance response time,
and reduction of scrap in a steel transformation manufacturing
organization. Many of the CIPs were previously part of
award-winning white papers documenting critical improvements.
Throughout this book, readers will learn: different types of CIPs
metrics to identify successful CIPs the 53 factors related to CIPs
success how to manage CIPs behaviors to achieve outstanding results
from CIPs. Three of the chapters are supplemented with three or
more case studies. In addition, the final chapter includes a list
of behaviors expected from directors, continuous improvement
managers, CIP leaders/facilitators, and CIP team members to obtain
the major benefits from CIPs.
Dermatology is the science responsible for the study of the skin,
mucous membranes (oral and genital) and cutaneous appendages, while
dermatopathology focuses on its microscopic study. Although the two
fields are closely related, in many cases the identification of
dermatological diseases is mainly clinical and depends on the
physician's ability and experience. The purpose of this atlas,
which collects over 900 clinical and histological photographs in
high resolution, is to illustrate and describe the most frequent
skin diseases on the basis of clinical cases. Offering a complete
guide to the etiology, epidemiology, clinical features, histologic
findings and diagnosis of the main skin diseases divided into three
subgroups (inflammatory, infectious, or tumoral), it represents an
invaluable resource for all medical students, residents,
clinicians, and investigators learning dermatology.
This volume features a collection of papers on emerging concepts,
significant insights, novel approaches and ideas in information
systems development (ISD). It examines and investigates
up-and-coming trends in ISD in general, emphasizing the continuous
collaboration between developers and operators to optimize the
software delivery time. The book gathers selected papers from the
29th International Conference on Information Systems Development
held at Universitat Politecnica de Valencia, Spain, September 8-10,
2021. The theme of ISD2021 was "Crossing Boundaries between
Development and Operations (DevOps) in Information Systems." The
revised and extended papers focus on the influences among
information systems, organizational structures, processes and
people from its conception to its operation. They examine
methodological issues and ways in which the IS designers,
developers and operators are transforming organisations and society
through information systems.
Edgar Allan Poe wields more influence in the spheres of literature
and popular culture on a world scale than any other US author. This
influence, however, does not rely on the quality of Poe's texts
alone nor on the compellingly tragic nature of his biography; his
reputation and his ubiquitous presence owe much of their longevity
to the ways Poe has been interpreted and portrayed by his
advocates-other writers, translators, literary critics, literary
historians, illustrators, film makers, musicians-and packaged by
various mediators in the literary field, especially editors and
anthologizers. As this study demonstrates, the division between
Poe's advocates and the mediators who organize his work for
consumption by the reading public can be very porous since many of
Poe's most adamant proponents-Charles Baudelaire and Julio
Cortazar, for example-also anthologized, edited, and/or translated
his works. Anthologizing Poe: Editions, Translations, and
(Trans)national Canons focuses on the works produced by Poe's
anthologizers and editors, both the famous and the lesser-known,
whose labor often takes place behind the scenes. Poe's editors and
anthologizers exercise real power, and over the last 170 years,
they have crafted and framed the various Poes we recognize, revere,
cherish, and critique today.

Indigeneity in Latin American Cinema explores how contemporary
films (2000-2020) participate in the evolution and circulation of
images and sounds that in many ways define how indigenous
communities are imagined, at a local, regional and global scale.
The volume reviews the diversity of portrayals from a
chronological, geopolitical, linguistic, epistemic-ontological,
transnational and intersectional, paradigm-changing and
self-representational perspective, allocating one chapter to each
theme. The corpus of this study consists of 68 fictional features
directed by non-indigenous filmmakers, 31 cinematic works produced
by indigenous directors/communities, and 22 Cine Regional (Regional
Cinema) films. The book also draws upon a significant number of
engravings, drawings, paintings, photographs and films, produced
between 1493 and 2000, as primary sources for the historical review
of the visual representations of indigeneity. Through content and
close (textual) analysis, interviews with audiences, surveys and
social media posts analysis, the author looks at the contexts in
which Latin American films circulate in international festivals and
the paradigm shifts introduced by self-representational cinema and
Roma (Mexico, 2018). Conclusively, the author provides the
foundations of histrionic indigeneity, a theory that explains how
overtly histrionic proclivities play a significant role in
depictions of an imagined indigenous Other in recent films.

car ride home he likes to think about what he will paint that
afternoon. On this day, Daniel runs into some challenges with his
painting supplies and his anger begins to take control. Daniel's
father must figure out how to help Daniel identify what he is
feeling emotionally and in his body. Daniel and his father work
together regulate and problem solve.
This book is a unique scholarly attempt to examine Don Quixote from
multiple angles to see how the re-accentuation of the world's
greatest literary hero takes place in film, theatre, and
literature. To accomplish this task, eighteen scholars from the
USA, Canada, Spain, and Great Britain have come together, and each
of them has brought his/her unique perspective to the subject. For
the first time, Don Quixote is discussed from the point of
re-accentuation, i.e. having in mind one of the key Bakhtinian
concepts that will serve as a theoretical framework. A primary
objective was therefore to articulate, relying on the concept of
re-accentuation, that the history of the novel has benefited
enormously from the re-accentuation of Don Quixote helping us to
shape countless iconic novels from the eighteenth century, and to
see how Cervantes's title character has been reinterpreted to suit
the needs of a variety of cultures across time and space.
