This article offers an analysis of Emilio de Rossignoli’s dystopian novel Lager dolce lager (1977). After retracing the novel’s complex genesis and comparing it with other contemporary works (Liliana Cavani’s Night Porter; Pier Paolo Pasolini’s Salò, or the 120 Days of Sodom), the article examines the ways in which de Rossignoli’s text draws on the stylistic features of testimonial discourse (use of first person; the Lager chronotope), transposing them into a speculative narrative framework. The analysis underscores how the intersection between dystopia and testimony also entails a semantic reversal of these figures: a reversal accompanying biopolitical reflection on society by the narrative voice and, in respect to aesthetic reception, engendering an uncanny effect.

This article examines the application of the stock screening tool “purepofo” (www.purepofo.com), which integrates Halal and Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) criteria with a comprehensive performance assessment based on widely used financial metrics. The article evaluates Purepofo’s ability to align Shariah compliance and ESG standards with performance-driven investing, addressing ethical and financial imperatives. The study presents a comparative analysis of the financial performance of stocks screened using a combined screening approach versus non-screened counterparts, while also outlining methodological limitations. Key findings reveal that Halal and ESG-screened stocks outperformed peers in several financial dimensions, including operational efficiency, dividend reliability, and resilience to market volatility. Notably, these stocks demonstrated higher Sharpe Ratios, more substantial gross margins, and consistent revenue growth, challenging the perception of a trade-off between ethical compliance and financial performance. However, limitations, such as the underrepresentation of high-growth stocks and valuation complexities, highlight the need for further methodological refinement. The discussion emphasises the potential of a customised financial metrics model to support investors in achieving competitive returns without compromising ethical integrity. The results suggest that Halal-ESG stocks offer more than symbolic ethical Value; they exhibit measurable financial resilience, governance, and sustainability strength. While alignment with Maqasid al-Shariah principles remains central, the data—rather than ideals alone—positions Islamic finance as a leader in sustainable investing. This article contributes to the growing discourse on Halal-ESG integration by offering actionable insights for Islamic finance portfolio managers, Shariah scholars, and thought leaders. Bridging ethical compliance, sustainability, and financial performance highlights the role of integrated tools in advancing innovation and inclusivity in global finance.

The establishment of the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) party has had a significant impact on South African politics since its launch in 2013. Following the 2014 general election, the EFF became the third-largest party, alongside the African National Congress and the Democratic Alliance, in the National Assembly. In the 2016 local elections, the party captured 8.2% of the national vote. This study seeks to explore the EFF’s identity formation in post-colonial South African socio-political landscape. Drawing theoretically from the discourse of post-colonialism, the study analysis the EFF’s political identity, the complex intersection of historical grievance, socio-economic transformation and the how colonial and apartheid legacies has influenced the party’s identity and its uniform and rhetoric approach to politics through the party’s manifestos, media texts and the key speeches. The reveals how the EFF’s identifies itself with the marginalised population seeking to reclaim their identity and agency in the political landscape by sparking debates around the country’s political institutions 30 years into the democratic system.

The study addresses the issue of the linguistic analysis of artistic discourse in the aesthetic projection of idiodiscursive language modelling, where artistic discourse is understood as a particular aesthetic and ethno-cultural worldview formed through the intellectual and creative interaction between the artist (author) and the recipient (reader). The purpose of this work is to clarify the dimensions of the linguistic aesthetic model of the author's set of techniques and tools based on the linguistic discursive practices of the contemporary Chinese literature (the turn of the XX-XXI centuries). The study analyses six popular works of prose in the form of a lengthy novels by Mo Yan, Liu Zhenyun, Yu Hua, Jia Pingwa, Wang Anyi and Moxiang Tongxiu, comprising a total of about three million hieroglyphs. The study employs a comprehensive methodology underpinned by the concepts of integral linguistics, text linguistics, pragmatics, cognitive and suggestive linguistics, which consequently engenders an interdisciplinary approach. The paper sets out to analyse the influence of ethnocultural features on the formation of a nationally oriented artistic discourse. The concept of national culture is identified through the realms of the linguistic picture of the world, which act as a cultural code or cultural marker. The author’s linguistic personality is regarded as a modelling projection of the national language and ethnocultural features. The results of the study demonstrate that the parameters of the linguoesthetic model of the author’s linguistic consciousness include: the individual author’s linguistic features, which are subjective and syntagmatic in nature; the ethnonational and sociocultural-cognitive author’s attitudes; the use of intermediate tools of cognitive-pragmatic psychology to attract multidimensional matrix attention, thereby helping to obtain aesthetic perception from fictitious interaction with the artistic world; the emotive density at points of structural tension; the linguoesthetic discursive markers; the integration of cultural, historical and ethnonational realities. The proposed dimensions require further expansion and detail, but in this form, they allow us to apply them in the methodology of analyzing artistic discourse on the issue of identifying ideodiscursive and linguoesthetic features in the use of writing practices.

Kees de Bot’s “A History of Applied Linguistics: From 1980 to the Present”, published by Routledge in 2015, is a seminal work that meticulously traces the trajectory of applied linguistics over the past few decades. The book spans 11 chapters over approximately 168 pages, offering a detailed exploration of Applied Linguistics (AL). De Bot begins by analyzing the diverse informants who have shaped AL, considering factors like gender, race, educational backgrounds, and affiliations. He critically examines AL’s definitions, its autonomy, and its relationships with fields like TESOL and AILA. Profiles of influential leaders highlight their contributions, while a thorough review covers seminal articles and books, emphasizing publishers’ roles in research dissemination. The book explores theoretical and methodological trends, including corpus linguistics, discourse analysis, and new areas like neurolinguistics and technology in language learning. De Bot discusses psycholinguistic and sociolinguistic dimensions such as language acquisition, identity, multilingualism, and language policy. His exploration of Complex Dynamic Systems Theory (CDST) applies it to understanding language dynamics and individual differences. A citation analysis section examines publication impact and academic influence dynamics. Ultimately, De Bot reflects on AL’s broad impact on language education, from theoretical insights to practical applications.

This critical discourse study examines how language is used to marginalize certain groups in news titles published on social media. It focuses on linguistic elements, including words or terms, phrases, and sentences. As qualitative research employing discourse analysis methods, this study analyzes data from news headlines on social media or online media. Social media was chosen due to its widespread popularity as a source of information. Data analysis follows Fairclough’s theory, which includes text description, interpretation, and explanation. The findings reveal that news headlines often use words, phrases, and sentences to marginalize specific societal groups. Marginalized groups include powerful entities such as government officials accused of legal violations and marginalized individuals such as women. The language used in these headlines frequently involves negative connotations or dysphemisms, which emphasize undesirable traits or behaviors. Additionally, question sentences are employed in headlines to further marginalize these groups. This analysis highlights how linguistic choices in news titles reinforce societal biases and marginalize both dominant and disadvantaged groups.

Popular culture characters and narratives can influence people’s understanding of moral actions, and thus guide their behaviors accordingly. Films have proven to be strong anchors in people’s understanding of morality. We examine the perception of resilience as a moral characteristic in examining not just how people become resilient (thereby focusing on impact and action) but also to study “resilience” as a discourse and discussion in society as a moral message. We argue that popular culture narratives, particularly Disney films, help reinforce moral meanings of resilience. By conducting a discourse analysis of two films-Encanto and Coco and particularly focusing on resilience, we aim to contribute to a deepened understanding of Disney’s role in producing morality through diverse narratives and characters who serve as role models.
