Challenges for women's leadership in organisations, from the perspective of judge and prophetess Deborah by J.A. Triana Palomino, I.D. Toro-Jaramillo, S.M. Giraldo Sánchez

“…These biases have uncritically been assimilated into the culture, including the work environment, and to overcome them, it is necessary to create scenarios of individual and collective confrontation, in order to recognise women’s capacity to exercise authority and power. The biblical narrative of judge and prophetess Deborah and her editorial process in the 8th century BC provide clues for confrontation and transformation by naturally portraying a woman exercising authority in a patriarchal setting, relating to men on an equal footing, and being recognised and respected through attitudes of listening, care, and empathy. …”

The influence of urban space in dramatic conflicts: transnationality in Mexican fiction films by Silvana Flores

“… Through this article we will analyze a corpus of Mexican fiction films of its classic-industrial period, produced by Pedro and Guillermo Calderón, Palabras de mujer (José Díaz Morales, 1946) and Maternidad imposible (Emilio Gómez Muriel, 1955), that have as a common nexus the interurban transfers, based on the migration phenomenon, the exploitation of a transnational cast and the influences of differentiated urban spaces in the narrative conflicts. Those characteristics will be delineated studying the configuration of urban spaces represented on them, its interference in the dramatic structure of these films and the identity translations presented consequently. …”

The persuasive function of the blood of Jesus in Matthew 26:28 by M.J. Nel

“…This article also contrasts Matthew’s intertextual approach in the passion narrative with that of his prologue. It is argued that the shift towards allusions and echoes when explaining Jesus’ death aligns with Matthew’s strategy that can be described as a kaleidoscopic atonement theory, in which he weaves various Old Testament themes together to construct a comprehensive theory of atonement in Matthew 20:28 and 26:28. …”

Sense and Sensibility à l’écran : l’adaptation entre explication et consolation by Laurent Mellet

“…Starting from the assumption that three of the main logics informing the plot and the narrative of the book (Empiricism, the obsession for explanation and the necessity of consolation) can be found at the heart of the aesthetics of these adaptations, we show that the series and the film may complete or contradict one another, but always with a view to setting up some dynamics that help us avoid the logic of comparison and the issue of fidelity. …”

“…The Jungian constructs of archetypal images, symbols, myths and mythologems are considered as the derivatives of this subjective, inner reality reflected in the text of a narrative and the dreams of an individual. An archetypal and mythical semiotic textual analysis of ‘The Alchemist’ by Paolo Coehlo, and an individual case analysis of dream symbols and a self-report based on the interpretation of a dream theme by using active imagination indicate that an inner, subjective transcendental reality is imminent in the individual. …”
