Rangguk dance is an art originating from the Kumun Debai sub-district of Sungai Penuh city which is performed at traditional events such as Kenduri Sko and welcoming regional guests. The clothes worn at the Rangguk Dance are in the form of brackets, skirts from songket fabric along with complements and other accessories. Rangguk dance is performed by women both married and unmarried with a total of 7 to 11 dancers. In 2018 Rangguk Dance has been designated as Indonesia's Intangible Cultural Heritage by the Directorate of Cultural Heritage and Diplomacy. A dance cannot be separated from clothing that can show the characteristics of the dance. Rangguk Dance fashion has a special meaning in the disclosure of the messages to be conveyed through the clothing. This study aims to describe the meaning and symbols contained in rangguk dance clothing.

The coffee plant has a taproot, straight down, short and strong. The taproot is approximately 45-50 cm long, which basically has 4-8 side roots that descend down 23 cm. Coffee leaves are long, striped to the sides, wavy, dark green, and tapered at the ends. Leaves grow and are arranged side by side in the armpits of the stems, branches and twigs. A pair of leaves located in the same plane and branches that grow horizontally.The shape of the coffee plant that has been described, the creators make it as a source of ideas as an ornamental motif. The coffee plants that are used as motifs are the flower parts, leaves, fruit, and twigs that are applied to the balango taluak. Taluak balango is clothing for men in Minangkabau, the hallmark of the taluak balango shirt is using seams on the side of the shirt where there is a siba with a length below the waist, a round neck without a collar and slightly slit to the chest. The balango taluak shirt is usually worn with a trouser suit, worn in events, traditional ceremonies, religious and other formal events. The method used in the creation of this work is the method of exploration, design and embodiment with an aesthetic approach. This work is expected to be able to contribute to the wider community, by introducing the depiction of coffee plant motifs on balango taluak. The balango taluak used and used in the Minangkabau area does not have specific provisions related to its decorative motifs.

The article reads David Foster Wallace’s short story “The Soul Is Not a Smithy” (2004) as a sample of covert multimodality—implementation of several sensorial and/or semiotic modes in an apparently monomodal medium. Unlike the thoroughly theorized genre of the multimodal novel, Wallace’s narrative does not materially incorporate any visual images, remaining “purely” verbal—even hyperverbal, considering the author’s reputation for supplemental detours and deferrals. In “The Soul Is Not a Smithy,” one narrative strand is a comic strip the schoolkid protagonist pictures entirely in his head, projecting it onto a classroom windowpane while other events transpire. Alternating between reports of imaginary comic panels and fragments from other subplots, Wallace stimulates the reader’s capacity to visualize layered literary storyworlds. Because our “sensations,” in Lars Elleström’s nomenclature, matter more than material “sense-data” in the establishment of a multimodal experience, the comic provides the narrative with a distinct visual interface.
这篇文章把大卫·福斯特·华莱士的短篇小说《灵魂不是铁匠》(2004)作为隐蔽的多模态的一个例子——在一个明显的单模态媒介中实现几种感觉和/或符号模式。与完全理论化的多模态小说类型不同,华莱士的叙事没有实质性地包含任何视觉图像,而是“纯粹”地保留了语言——甚至是超语言,考虑到作者在补充弯路和延迟方面的名声。在《灵魂不是铁匠》(The Soul Is Not a smith)中,一个叙事线是一个连载漫画,学生主角完全在他的脑海中想象,当其他事件发生时,他把它投射到教室的窗玻璃上。华莱士在虚构的漫画面板和其他次要情节的片段之间交替报道,激发了读者想象分层文学故事世界的能力。因为我们的“感觉”,在Lars Elleström的术语中,在建立多模式体验时比物质的“感觉数据”更重要,漫画为叙事提供了一个独特的视觉界面。

This is a study of the covert narrator in Brian Friel’s plays and is part of a growing interest in narratology in theater. The covert narrator is revealed to readers by means of stage directions, divided into two types: those that can reach the audience and those that must stay with the reader. The character of the covert narrator is revealed principally in directions that are impossible to carry out, which contain free indirect discourse and which editorialize—things only readers can fully appreciate but which are still relevant to the production of the play since the covert narrator is in effect a character in the play. The article presents a close reading of plays from virtually all stages of Friel’s career to demonstrate that it is at those points when communication between on-stage characters breaks down that the covert narrator comes closest to revealing his hand.

Jewish-American poet Charles Reznikoff’s 1975 book Holocaust takes as its basis the transcripts of the Nuremberg trials and the Eichmann trial. Among the various subtle interventions on the way from source material to “documentary verse,” the least theorized but most dramatic is Reznikoff’s decision to lineate the original courtroom prose of the survivors. Reznikoff’s prose in chopped-up lines offers a unique opportunity to engage in the larger question of the poetic force of lineation, while considering the specific advantages and risks that it entails in the case of Holocaust. This article argues that lineation is central to Reznikoff’s book because it allows him twice to straddle the line between conflicting goals: (1) lineation signals that the text is poetic while avoiding overt aestheticization that is often associated with lyrical poetry; (2) lineation implies Reznikoff’s response to the tragic material, while avoiding explicit, over-bearing authorial presence and sentimentality.

Shakespeare’s sonnets are widely loved and very popular in China, and major poet-translators such as Tu An and Liang Zongdai devoted a lifetime to their task of translation. The translation of the Bard’s sonnets involves cross-cultural understanding. In terms of poetic style, Shakespeare’s sonnets may be rendered in two styles, either modern or classical. Both styles have their pros and cons, but the general tendency leans toward the modern. In the course of over a century, the sonnet form has successfully been indigenized, and the Chinese sonnet has largely been developed from the reading and transplantation of Western sonneteers including Shakespeare and Milton. Among others, Shakespeare has exerted a significant impact on modern Chinese poetry by contributing new content and new form. This article aims to survey the reading, translation, and rewriting of Shakespeare’s sonnets in China and demonstrate how the Bard’s sonnets influenced the scene of modern Chinese poetry.
