Mary Elizabeth Counselman's story "The Three Marked Pennies" can be seen as a precursor to the language experimentation of literary Modernism in speculative fiction. Published in 1934, the story ...challenges the reliability of language and its ability to convey meaning. Set in a town where three marked pennies hold different fates, the symbols on the coins are subject to interpretation by the townspeople. However, as the week progresses, community consensus becomes elusive, and language loses its power to communicate effectively. The story explores the breakdown of language and the loss of faith in its ability to accurately represent reality. Counselman's work anticipates the radical changes in speculative fiction that would come later, with authors like Samuel Delany and Joanna Russ. By slipping this radical philosophy into the pages of Weird Tales, Counselman becomes an unrecognized forerunner of literary Modernism in speculative fiction.

The binder recalls food fads and health resolutions- recipes that were vegan or self-righteously plant-based, recipes copied from Mollie Katzen cookbooks that looked interesting but tasted like ...grass, Weight Watchers recipes with their point values helpfully (and judgmentally) appended at the end. A computer file won't have the food stains and rips and crumpled edges that speak to the particularity of mixing together flour and oil, of spilling the wine or smearing the ink or accidentally setting the recipe itself on fire. Or, we recall the blue earthenware bowl that held the Sensation Salad our mother often made, or the old KitchenAid mixer that was a wedding gift to our parents in 1961 and whose appearance on the counter always heralded something exciting. The contents included line drawings of apron-clad 1950s housewives holding wooden spoons, pictures of the latest Frigidaire appliances from 1964, recipes for olive molds and chicken pot pie and pineapple upside-down cake.

I Don't Belong Here (2015) is a performance about deportation and Portuguese deportees. Due to alcohol and drug abuse, a growing number of people have been expelled from the United States and Canada ...to be sent back to the small rural communities of the Azores Islands, from where they had originally left in their early childhood. With mainly American and Canadian cultural references, leaving behind their families and friends, and not even speaking Portuguese, these deportees live a disturbing experience of exile. The show created by the director Dinarte Branco and the playwright Nuno Costa Santos uses devices from the documentary theatre and transforms deportees into 'experts of everyday life' to confront us with biographies, memories and narratives of violence and addiction: lives that are tragically condemned to living for ever a citizenship 'under the influence'. Dealing with people in a situation of marginality, the show was simultaneously a process of creation and inclusion, giving voice to individuals who converted the Islands of the Azores - known internationally as an Atlantic paradise - into an endless penitentiary topography.
This article examines in what way and to what extent phenomenological philosophy has given rise to a new understanding of the modern novel and to a transformation of its narrative techniques. The ...starting point for this examination is the claim, made by Merleau-Ponty in “Metaphysics and the Novel”, according to which, in phenomenological philosophy, the task of philosophy is inextricably bound to that of literature. I examine this claim in two ways. First, I situate it historically with regard to the modern novel’s characteristic realism. Then, I show how the phenomenological attitude – formulated by Husserl as a methodological device in distinction with the natural attitude – transforms the novel’s narrative technics. Sartre’s first novel, La Nausée, constitutes an exemplary case to assess this transformation. Combining these two ways, I argue that the claim made by Merleau-Ponty is paradoxical: on the one hand, the intrinsic connection between phenomenological philosophy and literature promotes the cognitive value of the modern novel, but on the other hand, it breaks with the conventions of the novel form and initiates a fragmented writing.
This research deals with the textual thresholds in farewell speech (khutba) that delivered by prophet Mohammad (PBUH) in his last pilgrimage in order to reach to its effect on khutba's construction, ...and elocution later. So, it tries to reveal the conditions that should be found in some thresholds in order to be effective and convincing. In addition, to show the importance of these thresholds in revealing the contents of the text. This study applies the thresholds that developed by (Gerar Genette) on this khutba. And it depends on many aspects such as the personality of the auther, the relationship between the title and the text, the initial and the final clause. Also, the narrator and the receiver. This khutba doesn't contain the rest of the thresholds because it appeared with the digital printing. Finally, it illustrates the narrative techniques and its importance in Khutba. يعالج هذا البحث العتبات النصية في خطبة الوداع، التي ألقاها النبي (صلى الله عليه وسلم) في حجته الأخيرة، بغية الوصول إلى أثرها في بناء الخطبة، وفي الخطابة فيما بعد؛ ولذا يحاول أن يكشف عن الشروط، التي ينبغي أن تتوافر في بعض العتبات لكي تكون مقنعة ومؤثّرة، وأن يكشف عن أهمية تلك العتبات في كشف أغوار النص ومداخله. ويقوم هذا البحث بتطبيق العتبات التي وضعها (جيرار جينيت) على تلك الخطبة، ويتوقَّف عند شخصية المؤلف، ثم يتناول العنوان وعلاقته بالنص، ويدرس الجملة البدئية، والجملة الختمية، وأما ما بقي من عتبات فإنها لم تتوافر في الخطبة؛ لأنها وجدت مع تطور الطباعة الرقمية، ويوضّح أخيرًا تقنيات السرد، التي اعتُمِدت في الخطبة.
Abstract
Our perceptual experiences as of change over time seem to be accompanied by the sense that time flows. The sense of flow is widely regarded as one of the most elusive aspects of temporal ...experience. In this paper, I develop a novel account of its nature. I give an initial characterization of the sense of flow as the sense that the present changes—in short, as the sense of replacement. Further, I specify the type of account of the sense of replacement to be developed: since the sense that the present changes will be assumed to be grounded in the perceptual representation that the present changes, my focus will be to explain the perceptual representation that the present changes. I develop an account of the synchronic perceptual representation of the present. Finally, I develop an account of the diachronic perceptual representation of the present as changing.
Emotions as core building blocks of an experience Bastiaansen, Marcel; Lub, Xander Dennis; Mitas, Ondrej ...
International journal of contemporary hospitality management,

Journal Article
Peer reviewed
Open access
Purpose
This paper aims to stimulate the discussion in the fields of hospitality, tourism and leisure on what exactly constitutes “an experience” and how to measure it; the authors unpack the ...experience construct into its core constituent elements, namely, emotions.
Design/methodology/approach
The paper reviews insights from psychology and cognitive neuroscience that define experiences as a fine-grained temporal succession of emotions that occur during an experiential episode. Limitations of current methods for measuring experiences are discussed, after which biometric and neuroscientific methods are reviewed that are optimally geared toward measuring emotions, as they occur during an experience with fine temporal detail.
Findings
An overview is presented of the available studies within the fields of hospitality, tourism and leisure that use these methodologies. These studies show that using these methodologies provides a fruitful methodological approach to measuring experiences in real time.
Practical implications
Companies are constantly seeking to create memorable experiences for their customers. The proposed research methodologies allow companies to get a more fine-grained image of what impacts customers over the course of their experience and to actively integrate the use of emotions into creating experiences, as emotions are key to making them memorable.
Originality/value
The paper sketches the contours of a rapidly emerging framework that unpacks memorable experiences into their constituent element – emotions. It is proposed that this will contribute to a deeper understanding of how consumers experience offerings in the hospitality, tourism and leisure industry.
