This paper uses a critical interdisciplinary method to explore the process of redefinition of presence within the discourses of the metaverse and VR, particularly by Big Tech or platform capitalism companies marketing of virtual travel media. For this end, critical discourse analysis is applied in the context of qualitative platform studies. The paper examines the use of digital means to subvert scale and transcend the dimensions at which human contact, social and political action and events typically occur. This raises the question: what exactly is being mediated and which aspects of place are being re-mediated? Alongside a widespread belief that a media culture of distance and passive reception has ended, the promises and perils of the virtual are linked to the hopes of redefining and continuing community, both local and global, and (dis)ordering the social. Lastly, the paper identifies, through a speculative critique method, two parallel trends in the process of virtualizing places and spaces designing a typology for virtualization or tele-immersiveness: an ontological/epistemological mode (representational or correlational) and a periled sociopolitical mode, and oposes them to the concept and pratices of operational materialism.

In the 21st century, the interdisciplinary research interest is increasingly aroused by the linguistic problem of realizing educational discourse, especially in the media space. Information ecology and cyber security make it possible to form the skill of making adequate educational, and managerial decisions in the field of education under the conditions of saturation with information, information noise in the digital environment. The purpose of the study is to identify the genre features of the educational media discourse in the context of information ecology and cyber security. A functional-genre analysis of the educational media discourse in the digital media space is carried out in the study. By applying a set of methods (descriptive method, content analysis, discursive analysis, linguosemiotic analysis, linguopragmatic analysis, functional-genre analysis, interpretive analysis), the genre media reflection of the regulation of society’s activities to achieve hygienic safety goals related to information is studied, which constitutes the scientific novelty of the study. The main genres of the educational media discourse that are significant for the development of genre theory have been identified, those are: analytical, popularizing, explanatory, didactic, regulating, recommendation, discussion, multimedia, case study genres. Their analyses allow conclude that an ecosystem comfortable for training students is formed due to compliance with the requirements of information ecology, information and Internet hygiene, ethics, cyber security, which are among the preventive trends and protective measures in the digital environment. The analysis of factual material emphasizes the importance of ensuring the safety of students as one of the key tasks of the modern educational process, considering the active influence of the media environment. It is established that media articles inform an addressee about the activities of preventive medicine and state sanitary and epidemiological services that are developing norms that reflect the safe organization of the work and educational process using information tools in the digital media space. Documents presented in various media genres determine the norms of lighting at different times of the day, the norms of noise parameters and work with electronic teaching aids and other acceptable conditions to ensure high-quality work without harm to health. The identified genre features of the educational media discourse in the context of information ecology and cyber security clearly demonstrate that the informational ecology is a promising direction for the study and development of the media discourse, incl. educational media discourse, based on the material of various linguistic cultures.

Abstract The significance of speakers' objectives in political writing renders the techniques utilized by authors especially important. The translation method is essential because of the strong relationship between persuasive tools and factors such as the author's or narrator's reputation, their role in shaping ideas, and the vision created in the audience's mind to attain certain objectives. Ethos is a rhetorical strategy that facilitates text comprehension and ensures precise translation. This study employs a descriptive-analytical method, focusing on three primary axes: the text creator, the audience, and the complex influence of ethos on text production and reproduction. It is vital to employ a suitable technique in replicating the text to guarantee that the primary point is communicated clearly and articulately. This is due to the significant emphasis on the author's position and standing, the representation of their cultural identity, the translator's methodologies, and the satisfaction of the readers' anticipations of the communicated message. This analysis focuses on a work by Alaa Al-Aswany, a modern Egyptian writer, titled Our Advice to the Butcher. Findings show that paying close attention to the author's subtleties and nuances in word choice, such as the choice of conjunctions, as well as finding equivalents for vocabulary and grammatical structures, appealing to the reader's emotions, and using clear and effective language during the translation process are all very important for a successful outcome.IntroductionIn rhetoric, the speaker or writer aims to create an image that captivates the audience and persuades them, fostering a reciprocal communication exchange between the writer and the listener. We discover a collection of strategies and techniques when we analyze the works of orators and novelists that emphasize raising awareness and addressing public opinion while meticulously using the expressive potential of language. These methods and techniques are utilized to facilitate effective communication with the audience and to persuade them to embrace the intended concepts.Ethos, as a language strategy, has a historical foundation, and analyzing this idea might facilitate a clear comprehension of certain texts. It is very proficient in generating a valuable and suitable translation of the material while effectively expressing the nuances pertinent to the audience. Without knowledge or attention to this topic, the primary message of the text may not be adequately conveyed to the audience. By emphasizing pivotal words and terms that activate the audience's psychological elements, the translator can facilitate their gradual acceptance of the knowledge and the adoption of the intended actions. This method enhances the audience's viewpoint, the reinterpretation of the text, and their resolve to embrace or dismiss the concepts presented.Statement of the ProblemThe point of this study is to look into ethos as a persuasive tool and how it works in translation, as well as how it shows up in the steps of figuring out equivalence and choosing preferred language and expressions. The narrative "Our Advice to the Butcher" (originally "Nasihatuna ila al-Jazzar"), extracted from the anthology "Do We Deserve Democracy?" (originally "Hal Nastaḥiq al-Dimuqratiyah?"), functions as the case study for this analysis. Employing the ethos method, we examine the linguistic features and translation techniques of the Arabic text into Persian. Literature ReviewResearch in linguistics is a longstanding and comprehensive discipline. The same applies to text translation and its diverse methodologies, which have garnered the interest of numerous contemporary professors, students, and researchers. The domain of rhetorical techniques has been the subject of numerous books and studies. The primary source in this domain is Aristotle's (1979) Rhetoric. In this book, Aristotle characterizes ethos as a picture that emerges subsequent to discourse within the context of rhetoric. The rhetorical triangle, a notion established by the Greek philosopher Aristotle, encompasses three essential components of persuasive arguments: logos, ethos, and pathos. Numerous essays and theses have been written analyzing the works of the renowned contemporary Egyptian novelist Alaa Al-Aswany; however, none have examined the translation of his works through the lens of the ethos method. Consequently, the present study represents the inaugural endeavor in this domain. No article has yet been published regarding the application of the ethos technique in translation, and, to the researchers' knowledge, it remains unexamined.MethodologyThis study employs a descriptive-analytical methodology grounded on structuralism and incorporates the theories of substitution and collocation. It analyzes different forms of ethos as a potent discursive strategy in communicative processes that influence the subconscious to perform speech acts and achieve pragmatic goals. Furthermore, it examines the function of ethos in the text translation process and analyzes diverse methodologies.ConclusionThe ethos strategy highlights three primary dimensions: the text creator, the audience, and the diverse effects on text generation and replication. It is vital to employ a suitable technique in replicating the text to guarantee that the primary point is communicated clearly and articulately. This is due to ethos placing significant emphasis on the author's position and standing, the translation of their cultural identity, and the satisfaction of readers' expectations for the imparted message.The element of symbolism is notably evident in the collection Do We Deserve Democracy? by modern Egyptian novelist Alaa Al-Aswany. The author contends that democracy in Egypt operates solely as a façade and lacks any substance.The ethos method relies on convincing the reader. Therefore, to maintain the original author's stance and cultural identity, the translation must align the grammatical structures of the source text. The translated text must be believable and persuasive to the audience.The translated material must employ clear and compelling language, necessitating alterations in verb forms and tenses. Linguistic tools are essential for conveying the meaning, subtleties, and complexity embedded in the original text by the author. Every language has distinct powers and potentials, and the translator must comprehend the linguistic tools of Arabic to identify parallels in Persian. This guarantees, firstly, that the tools and grammatical structures of the source language do not encroach upon the target language, and secondly, that Persian readers experience a sense of familiarity and intimacy with the translated text, rendering it credible as though they are reading a text in their own language.Idiomatic expressions, phrases, and the names of locations and cultural situations must be translated to maintain the authenticity of the original author and to accurately represent their cultural identity in the target language text.
Introduction: Language, as one of the most important means of communicating and transmitting thoughts and feelings, has always been the focus of scientists and linguists. As a result of this effort, a science called linguistics emerged, whose most important task is the scientific investigation and study of language. Linguistics helps us to gain a deeper understanding of the relationship between language and culture and the identity of people. The close connection of language with the individual and social needs of human beings and the importance of examining its various geniuses has led to the formation and emergence of various branches in the field of linguistics, one of which is text linguistics. This new branch, which is one of the relatively new fields of linguistics and has attracted the attention of many researchers in recent decades, examines the coherence and coherence of the text and tries to evaluate the contribution of each of Identify the text's cohesive elements separately and examine, analyze and evaluate the elements in the text by presenting a coherent and regular pattern and an objective and accurate description. Therefore, textual coherence examines and analyzes the constituent elements of the text at two grammatical and lexical levels.Methodology: Using the descriptive and analytical method, the following example applies the theory of textual coherence to one of Ibrahim Naji's odes called "Khwater al-Ghrub" and in this way evaluates the degree of coherence of the text in two grammatical and lexical areas. analyzeResults and Discussion: Considering the importance of the theory of textual coherence in the review and analysis of texts on the one hand, and the value of examining the poems of contemporary poets on the other hand, the author wants to find out how the textual coherence, both grammatical and lexical, in the poem "Khwatar al-Ghrub" by Ibrahim Examine and evaluate Naji and come up with appropriate answers to the following questions.1- What are the most important factors of textual coherence, both grammatical and lexical, in the poem in question?2- How can the high frequency of an element be effective in the coherence of the text of the poem?In order to answer the above questions, the author has examined grammatical coherence in three fields of reference and its different types (pronominal reference, demonstrative reference and relational reference).In the field of lexical coherence, he has also investigated the phenomenon of repetition and its different types, and the combination of verses and its types in the ode and finally reached the following results:Conclusion: By examining and analyzing the elements of textual coherence in the text of the ode, it was found that the element of pronoun reference played the most impact in the coherence of the text of the poem and the poet used them as a vehicle to show his creativity and highlight his language. Among the references used in the poem, the two references "the poet and the sea" have a significant frequency, which is manifested in the three pronouns "ana - ant - nahn". The high frequency of these three pronouns in the poet's poetic speech is noteworthy. The referent of the pronoun Ena, the poet, and the pronoun you, is the sea. In the pronoun Nahn, the poet is present in all cases and the sea is present in three cases, and due to the dispersion of these three pronouns in the poem, the poetic discourse has a high level of cohesion and continuity. Among the referential elements, the two elements of referential and relational reference are the most important in making the poem coherent. The factor of omission in the poetic discourse of the poet has a high frequency. This factor has been used in two types, nominal and present, and no exclusion has been used. In most cases, this factor is associated with the conjunctions and by avoiding boring repetitions, it has caused the continuity and continuity of the text. The effect of substitution element in the coherence of the poetic text is zero. In the field of lexical cohesion, words are used in the ode that are related to each other in terms of form, meaning, and subject and evoke each other. This has been realized in direct repetition (5 cases), partial repetition (8 cases), quasi-synonyms (8 cases) and connection with a certain topic, and has finally led to the coherence and consistency of the poem. In some cases, by using the element of contrast (9 cases) and using it in different places of the poem, the poet has put a part of the burden of the text on it.

The article presents ideas fundamental for the educational community of the determining role of the quality of education on the quality of a modern person and his/her various aspects of life. The authors turn to the origins of the idea of improving the quality of life in philosophical discourse, show the role of education in transforming a student's potency into his real achievements. The article describes the noospheric and acmeological guidelines for improving the quality of a person and his/her life, considering the degree of the culture of life. Having summarized the philosophical, pedagogical, sociological, and economic research, the authors describe the factors that affect the quality of life of subjects of education, systematize various views on the problem of the quality of education in domestic pedagogy, describe innovations that improve the quality of the educational process, and argue the need for their introduction into the practice of higher education. As a proof of the importance of improving the quality of education and its impact on the younger generation, the article presents the results of a reflective analysis of students derived from essays, questionnaires, and interviews that rank and independently describe the criteria for improving the quality of a person and life in conditions of high-quality higher education.
COVID-19 represents a risk to people's life and societies in their current shapes and functions, with institutionalised responses redefining everyday life. Crises in society can induce fear and tensions that can unite and divide people, inducing acts of solidarity and polarisation. The study explored articulations of solidarity and polarisation in relation to the COVID-19 pandemic and related risks. A Foucault-inspired thematic analysis was pursued on qualitative data from an international survey about COVID-19 and social media. The analysis resulted in four themes illustrating articulations of solidarity and polarisation related to the COVID-19 pandemic. The analysis showed solidarity and polarisation as each other's premise and contradiction. Socialisation into a ‘new normal’ was characterised by the balance between solidarity and polarisation as well as aspirations to enhance future solidarity. The study illustrated that social media functioned as social technology for control and manipulation towards social normalisation. However, it was also used to voice attempts to rectify (or overthrow) the dominant medico-political discourse and norms with own preferences, opinions and a functioning daily life. In short, the articulations and social media uses could be interpreted as expressions of power and counter-power.

The article reveals the specifics of constructing the image of Russia in the German mass media. Based on
the study of media discourse, the positions of Russia in the context of the global information and psychological
confrontation are determined. We identify markers that determine the information policy of Germany in relation
to Russia, as well as linguistic means of forming the image of the country and methods of information aggression against Russian society. On the basis of headline complexes and article leads, priority topics (buzz-topics) in the media, informational reasons for referring to them, sentiment (expressive-evaluative vocabulary), directional vector were determined. The research object are German media, such as Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung (FAZ),
Die Welt, Bild, Der Spiegel. The lexemes ″Russia″, ″Moscow″, ″Putin″, ″Kremlin″ (and synonyms) were used as the units of analysis. Relations with Syria, the United States and NATO, Ukraine, Belarus and Turkey were popular topics in the German media during the study period (2020). The analysis of the texts showed that the mostly negative media image of Russia is represented. In foreign policy, the country is presented as an invader, a military aggressor, a murderer, an enemy, and its leader, in the interpretation of the media, is an insidious, cunning
schemer, a dishonest player on the geopolitical chessboard. The portrayal of leading German newspapers portrays Russia as a peripheral state, a third world country that claims to be a world power (with nuclear weapons) and a semi-dictatorial regime. In the course of the study, we used general scientific methods of cognitive and interpretive linguistic discourse analysis. In publications, even high-quality ones, metonymy, metaphors, comparisons, epithets, hyperboles are used as components of anti-Russian rhetoric. Conclusion: there is practically no positive news about Russia, the country itself is seen as the main threat to the security of the world. This requires an adequate response, a new information policy and a correction of the country’s reputation.
Self-reflexivity is a significant characteristic of Austro-German cinema during the early sound film period, particular in films that revolve around musical topics. Many examples of self-reflexive cinematic instances are connected to music in one way or another. The various ways in which music is integrated in films can produce instances of<b> </b>intertextuality, inter- and transmediality, and self-referentiality. However, instead of relying solely on the analysis of the films in order to interrogate the conception of such scenes, this article examines several screenplays. They include musical instructions and motivations for diegetic musical performances. However, not only music itself, but also music as a subject matter can be found in these screenplays, as part of the dialogue or instructions for the mis-en-scène. The work of Austrian screenwriter and director Walter Reisch (1903−1983) will serve as a case study to discuss various forms of self-reflexivity in the context of genre studies, screenwriting studies and the early sound film. Different forms and categories of self-referential uses of music in Reisch’s work will be examined and contextualized within early sound cinema in Austria and Germany in the 1930s. The results of this investigation suggest that Reisch’s early screenplays demonstrate that the amount of self-reflexivity in early Austro-German music films is closely connected to music. Self-referential devices were closely connected to generic conventions during the formative years and particularly highlight characteristics of Reisch’s writing style. The relatively early emergence of self-reflexive and “self-conscious” moments of music in film already during the silent period provides a perfect starting point to advance discussions about the musical discourse in film, as well as the role and functions of screenplays and screenwriters in this context.
Modern media have become an important ideological tool in conveying and forming a certain view
of the world and attitude towards it. While complying with the interests of the power structures, they shape public
opinion by means of increasingly sophisticated media technologies and techniques. The article introduces multilevel
means of creating ambiguity of a media text: verbs with the semantic component ‘without proof’, lexical units with
semantics of uncertainty, means of expressing epistemic modality, interrogative headings, etc. The regular use of
these means observed in the media enables the author to consider ambiguity as one efficient strategy of public
opinion manipulation. The data for the study were obtained from quality British and American newspapers and
news websites that cover events related to Russia. By using the methods of linguistic pragmatics and sociolinguistics
as well as critical discourse analysis, it was proved that the ambiguity is a widely spread method in modern media,
it enables journalists to write about unconfirmed facts and introduce a certain attitude towards them into the minds
of the audience without bearing any responsibility for unsubstantiated information.
Este artículo desarrolla una propuesta de investigación sobre el aborto desde una perspectiva sociosubjetiva y centrada en el análisis de discursos. Su estructura está compuesta por tres partes: 1º) Se exponen las líneas generales de aproximación al fenómeno del aborto, en tanto que fenómeno que implica a una pluralidad de dimensiones de lo social y que tiene una serie de "propiedades" históricas definibles. 2º) Se explicita, con mayor detalle, en qué consiste la propuesta sociosubjetiva al aborto y cuál es su lugar y relevancia en relación con otras aproximaciones al mismo. 3º) Se ofrece una propuesta metodológica de aproximación apoyada en el análisis del discurso y articulada a través de la elaboración de “espacios de puntos de vista” y entrevistas abiertas. Asimismo, se tratan de determinar, de manera más específica, algunas cuestiones de importante consideración en torno a la metodología concreta a desarrollar en el proceso práctico de investigación.
This article develops a research proposal on abortion from a socio-subjective perspective and focused on the analysis of discourses. Its structure is composed of three parts: 1st) The general lines of approach to the phenomenon of abortion are exposed, as a phenomenon that involves a plurality of social dimensions and that has a series of definable historical "properties". 2nd) It is made explicit, in greater detail, what is the subjective proposal of abortion and what is its place and relevance in relation to other approaches to it. 3rd) A methodological proposal of approach supported by discourse analysis and articulated through the elaboration of “spaces of points of view” and non-directive interviews is offered. Likewise, some questions of important consideration regarding the specific methodology to be developed in the practical research process are determined more concretely.
Human as mysterious creatures cannot if only be approached by a scientific discipline, they must be understood in an interdisciplinary manner. In writing this journal explaining the possibility of Islamic education has a transdisciplinary meaning to eliminate the separation between general science and the science of religion and all the knowledge developed is related to one another. The method used is the method of discourse analysis and content. The way in which a number of literatures is discussed and analyzed is based on the direction and purpose of the transdisciplinary concept. The results of the discussion in the context of the transdisciplinary Islamic education curriculum must be developed to be holistic in nature that can cover a variety of problems inherent in humans and their development. The ability to achieve it in transdisciplinary Islamic education is the ability to see the world as a value system, each of which has different tasks and functions but still interconnected. This interconnection connection system must be placed in the framework of faith and noble character.
Language of risk and causation pervades modern media sources. In response, statistical literacy is often framed as a critical means of understanding such discourse. At Michigan State University, several faculties have worked to create a new mathematics course, entitled Quantitative Literacy, to fulfill the University's general education mathematics requirement. Though the course does not center exclusively on statistical thinking and methods, the curriculum does include attention to science reports in the media, among other topics, which are often based on research using statistical methods. In an effort to begin to understand how students reason with such articles before having taken the course, students in Quantitative Literacy answered several open-ended questions at the beginning of the semester in response to an opinionated news article about risk in relation to processed meats. Analysis of 152 students' responses using Toulmin's framework for argumentation revealed that the majority of the students agreed with the author's misleading message. These results suggest that prior knowledge and preexisting biases serve as potential barriers to the types of reasoning fostered in the course, and thus that the Quantitative Literacy curriculum should specifically attend to students' preexisting beliefs about the real-world contexts encountered in the course.

Although wine culture is quite a new phenomenon in Poland, Polish wine blogs on the Internet are numerous, and a specific wine language is rapidly emerging. The Polish lexical field of taste is rather poor compared to other perceptual fields. It is obvious that the limited lexical repertoire does not suffice to describe such a multidimensional experience as wine tasting. Polish wine discourse is permeated with various kinds of metaphors, starting from basic terms like ciało wina ‘the body of a wine,’ through more creative, but still lexicalised metaphors, e.g. leciutka nuta korkowa ‘a light note of the cork,’ to intricate, elaborated, semi-narrative metaphors, e.g. Tyle innych burgundów z lat 90-tych cierpi na sklerozę i haluksy ‘So many other burgundies from the 1990s suffer from sclerosis and bunions.’ A number of metaphoric wine terms have of course been borrowed from French or English, but there are also many new metaphors, specific for the Polish language and culture. The material for the analysis consists of blog excerpts taken from “Synamet”—a corpus of synesthetic metaphors in Polish. The paper aims at examining taste metaphors that are used in Polish wine blogs and proposing a preliminary typology of metaphors recurring in wine discourse.
This study aims to critically analyze the female identity discourse articulated by the Indonesian Muslim Women’s magazine. Preceded by the emergence of a significant problem during the process of modernization, Indonesia has experienced the transformation of religious values from ideology toward commercialization of spirituality reflected in their lifestyle. The constellation of media discourse creates a meaning transformation on how identity is performed and how a Moslem is in contemporary Indonesia. This study applies a discourse analysis perspective by Michael Foucault. The data were gathered from a collection of visual and textual discourse obtained from three Moslem women’s magazine, Alia, Ummi and Noor. The data analyzed include pictures, words, and phrases as a marker of female identity as a Moslem. The results of this study indicate that the female identity as a Moslem in Indonesia is not an absolute thing. Even though the teaching is from the same scripture, the interpretation of female identity, its nature and its realm becomes plural as there was a lot of discussion and arguments

Key Words of Culture, as Names of Salient and Entrenched Concepts, and the Problems of Lexical Synonymy
The paper discusses a method for discovering important concepts of culture through the process of scrutinizing the most numerous sets of synonyms (which are treated as names of entrenched and salient concepts of the given language’s culture), and subsequently combining them in a set of cultural concept networks. The author focuses on the evolution of cultural concepts and the linguistic material from 19th and 20th c. dictionaries of synonyms, and the Polish version of WordNet which served as the base for the analysis. The paper shows the evolution of some of the concepts of culture established in the 19th c. and still vivid in present day discourse of collective identity.
The Left Dislocation construction is a typologically universal phenomenon that has received detailed analysis, from both formal and functional perspectives, in a number of genetically and areally diverse languages. The present paper aims to provide a general overview of this cross-linguistic research with a concentration on: 1) the comparison of syntactico-semantic features of LD across languages, 2) the generalized cross-linguistic patterns and categories attested for LD, and 3) the explanations offered for LD in terms of its motivation and function in discourse. Accordingly, the paper will proceed in two parts. The first part will entail a brief survey of the syntactic and semantic attributes that have established LD as a typological category. In light of these attributes, linguists generally distinguish between two broad types of LD on the basis of particular syntactic patterns and constraints. Thus, a general description of these types is provided, along with a brief description of several less prototypical LD types. The second part of the paper will focus on the explanation of LD both in terms of the cognitive and contextual constraints that motivate its use in discourse, as well as the communicative goals and pragmatic effects achieved by the construction in particular contexts.

The hedgehog and the fox are the well-known characters, dear to Ceserani, with which Berlin designates two different modes of pursuing the paths of knowledge: the first, the one of the hedgehog, is straight and guided by a universal principle, while the other one is exploratory. The fox’s curiosity and instinct drive her off the beaten track. In the present article, Berlin’s two creatures serve the purpose to illustrate the cognitive and structural rethinking that has set in within the European higher education system during the past decades, and which finds the most appropriate impact on the redefinition of the delicate interdisciplinary relationship between science and the humanities. While tracing Ceserani’s scholarly activity as a Visiting Professor at the ETH Zurich–and relating to the latest development of the chair once held by De Sanctis–the article discusses the emblematic history of an institutional transition towards interdisciplinarity, taking one of the most prestigious universities in the world as its case study. Based on Ceserani’s recent studies about the connection between scientific knowledge and narration, the analysis of the modes that disentangle from traditional disciplinarity are eventually integrated into a broader discourse about the reciprocal interaction among disciplines.

Following the terrorist attacks of September 11, cultural supplements of the most read newspapers in Germany, as well as new publications on that subject, quoted the geopolitical concepts and points of view gathered in the works of the Nazi jurist Carl Schmitt (1888-1985). The author of this article shows how this discourse –which points out to the emergence of new transgressive political agents- articulates, certainly in a non explicit way, the preoccupation with Western constructed masculinities, which were considered as endangered. In these responses the idea of a masculinity capable of defending a new world order is rehabilitated in the name of “liberty” of “the Western world” and of “mankind”. This idea of masculinity conveys not only a fascist past, but also a fascination with submission and the use of violence against the civil standards of the rule of law. Finally, this analysis shows how, in the present construction of a new world order, what is at stake is the struggle for a new hegemonic masculinity, pointing out as well the high price of the exclusions that it exercises.
