This report looks at the upcoming redistricting cycle through the lens of four factors that will influence outcomes in each state: who controls map drawing; changes in the legal rules governing redistricting over the last decade; pressures from population and demographic shifts over the same period; and the potential impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on the 2020 Census. In each state, the confluence of these factors will determine the risk of manipulated maps or whether, conversely, the redistrict[1]ing process will produce maps that reflect what voters want, respond to shifts in public opinion, and protect the rights of communities of color.

The study deals with the communicative interaction between the author, the hero, the text, the reader in a postmodern novel. A similar and ambiguous reality, on the one hand, sometimes led to the subjectivist hypertrophy, absolutizing the author's world view, and at times minimized and devaluated the author's identity, on the other. Therefore, from the end of the 1990s the ways of expressing author's "Self" changed dramatically, which directly affected the means of creating a hero in the contemporary Ukrainian literature. An important place in the communicative literary model was occupied by the text as an independent semantic unit and the reader as an interpreter of the text. The specifics of deploying the dialog between the author and the hero point to the transformation of their functions in the Ukrainian postmodern novel. Considering the statement of the death of the author proclaimed by R. Barthes, the former stops being the main holistic text creator, thus rather becoming its product and the way of expression. The author, the hero and the text have a certain integrity aimed at the interpretative game with the recipient, who diffuses the newly created semantic integrity into a diversity of meanings.

"As the publishing, film and music industries are dominated by Big Media conglomerates, there is often recourse to simplistic ideological and conspiratorial readings of industry dynamics. Copyright, Creativity, Big Media & Cultural Value: Incorporating the Author explains why copyright is much more than a creator's private property right or a mechanism through which corporations control cultural production and influence mass consumption choices. The volume is grounded in extensive, painstakingly detailed and colourful original archival research into business histories of major successful artists including Conan Doyle, Hall Caine, Margaret Atwood, Dame Nellie Melba, Radiohead and Banksy, and the industries and genres that grew up around their activities. Chapters address big questions about how copyright generates income and how distributions of profits are allocated in the publishing, film and music industries. It includes discussion of the creation of new formats, the interplay between old media and new technologies, international copyright reform and cross-industry relations. Copyright, Creativity, Big Media & Cultural Value is a wide-ranging and important resource for students and practitioners of law and policy, media studies, cultural studies and literary history"--

One of the features of "Kazan Chronicle" – the manuscript of the three hundred year history of relations between Russia and Kazan Khanate – is the unusual attitude of the author, a supporter of the policy of Ivan the Terrible, to the Kazan Tatars (the latter ones in some cases are portrayed sympathetically by him), is discussed in the article; examples of the destruction of literary etiquette in the "Chronicle" are given, the reasons for such descriptions, hidden in the biography of the unnamed author of "Kazan Chronicle", are explained. Episodes about violation of the contract with the fugitive Crimean tsar Ulanus, about the stay of the latter at the borders of Russia, by Vasily II the Blind, the Grand Prince of Moscow (Chapter 9), about treason of Kazan Khan Muhammad Amin against Ivan III the Great and about the further repentance of the former (Chapter 12), the perfidy of Shahghali, Khan of Kazan, who was Moscow's appointee, and killing by him of Chura, son of Naryk, Kazan nobleman who had saved him (Chapter 25), are discussed in the article in this aspect. In all those episodes of "Kazan Chronicle", what is reflected is not only the circumstances of the personal sympathy towards Kazan Tatars from the side of the author of the "Chronicle", who had lived for twenty years as a prisoner in Kazan, but also the destruction of literary etiquette, which was a trend characteristic of the 16th century literature.

Abstract

Un nuevo número de nuestra revista vuelve a encontrarnos en un clima de protesta y rebelión en nuestra región, por muchos años de destrucción de lazos sociales, culturales y políticos acompañados de brutales represiones y violaciones a los DDHH en el hermano país de Colombia, y en plena pandemia. Como en nuestro número 20 -dedicado a la rebelión chilena de octubre 2019 (Alvarado Lincopi y Robles Recabarren, 2020)- hoy nos solidarizamos con les compañeres colombianes que enfrentan todavía, desde el 28 de abril, una brutal violencia por parte de las fuerzas policiales y militares del Estado, del ESMAD y de los comandos civiles armados, protegidos por la fuerza pública. Casi podemos decir que presenciamos las escenas que se difundieron ampliamente por las redes sociales, por videos y por exitosos llamados a la solidaridad para la difusión de los acontecimientos. Compartimos, así, desde lejos la emoción por el coraje de las comunidades indígenas, las mujeres, les jóvenes, les estudiantes, les docentes y demás colectivos movilizados. Alentamos la esperanza de que el pueblo colombiano sea escuchado, que se detenga la masacre y se retome el espíritu de los Acuerdos de Paz, de una Paz que se sustente en el reconocimiento de derechos y no en la negación de ellos. #S.O.S. COLOMBIA recorre el mundo. Este número presenta, justamente, un dossier que nos habla de la organización sistemática de la represión y persecución de opositores como especialidad y estructura de la inteligencia represiva, de los archivos y las burocracias del Mal, de las lógicas del funcionamiento de las fuerzas represivas y de la sistematización de la información sobre el "enemigo", construido a partir de diversas doctrinas. El Dossier "Los organismos de inteligencia en Argentina. Miradas desde los archivos a una burocracia secreta", coordinado por las colegas Mariana Nazar y María Eva Muzzoppapa, despliega el interés y el análisis de ese "oscuro y arbitrario accionar de las agencias de inteligencia" nucleando a un conglomerado profesional de archivistas -de archivistas políticas- preocupadas por la activación de políticas de archivo y de inquietudes y responsabilidades historiográficas. ; Facultad de Humanidades y Ciencias de la Educación
