Full textAbstract:
This article examines the recent tradition of decorating and re-fashioning graduation caps, also known as mortarboards, by Chicanx/Latinx graduates. We describe this practice as StoryBoarding, a form of micro-storytelling tales of Chicana/Latina agency and resistance that counter, expose, and challenge institutionalized forms of racism. Many instances of StoryBoarding take place in the context of Hispanic Serving Institutions (HSI), specifically during the Chicanx/Latinx graduation commencement ceremonies held at many campuses. While these events are celebratory, these past few years, alongside the celebrations, the ceremonies have also become spaces of critique and proclamation of the graduates’ views towards the current administration’s policies aimed at undocumented immigrants and people of Mexican and Latin American descent.

The women’s struggle as articulated by women of the Zapatista movement in their Women’s Revolutionary Law is an insurgent, revolutionary, rebel, and autonomous feminism—a feminism in dialogue with popular feminisms in Latin America such as peasant and popular feminism and communitarian feminism. La lucha articulada por las mujeres del movimiento zapatista en su Ley Revolucionaria de la Mujer constituye un feminismo insurgente, revolucionario, rebelde y autónomo. Es también un feminismo en diálogo con otros feminismos populares en América Latina, tales como el feminismo campesino y popular y el feminismo comunitario.

Full textAbstract:
Trainees were encouraged to tell a mythological story to the class, lasting about ten minutes. They could use props and other visual aids if they wished, but the emphasis was for them to practise speaking before the class, using prompt cards if necessary, and employing all the techniques of a professional oral ‘poet’ – such as gesture, eye contact, tone of voice and so on. There is obviously considerable general interest among younger students about mythology. Locally, interest is captured by the Cambridge School Classics project which puts on an annual Ovid Mythology competition and the website War with Troy is used by several of the schools where trainees are placed. Its use as a stimulus for learning has been well-documented by its author and past PGCE subject lecturer Bob Lister (2005, 2007) and by Walker (2018), a former teacher trainee from the faculty. Some of the Latin textbooks such as Minimus (Bell, 1999) and Suburani (Hands-Up Education, 2020) contain myth episodes and are familiar to the teacher trainees. The GCSE and A Level qualifications often contain mythological subject matter. Khan-Evans (2018) has shown how older students of Classics have retained deep-rooted affection for mythological stories in their earlier schooldays. Research into the power of mythological storytelling as a stimulus for learning, creative arts and even therapy is current, as the Our Mythical Childhood project (2020) has demonstrated. A book of the project's work is eagerly anticipated next year. The recent Troy exhibition at the British Museum has also awoken considerable interest.

El presente artículo pretende llevar a cabo una revisión de un conjunto de textos escritos en un momento muy particular y fugaz en el marxismo latinoamericano. Nos referimos a un cúmulo de producciones que se llevaron a cabo en la bisagra de los años setenta y ochenta. Hablamos de un contexto de derrota para los sectores subalternos, luego del proceso de avance popular ocurrido en la región durante los años sesenta y la primera mitad de los setenta. En ese cruce de décadas, tras la irradiación de los estudios sobre la dependencia en América Latina, las preocupaciones de tales enfoques se intersectan con una indagación en torno del fenómeno estatal. En estas páginas realizaremos una revisión de dicho momento de reflexión teórica, a partir del análisis de algunos trabajos de cuatro figuras del marxismo latinoamericano: Norbert Lechner (alemán, naturalizado chileno), Agustín Cueva (ecuatoriano), René Zavaleta (boliviano) y Marcos Kaplan (argentino).
Palabras Clave: Estado, dependencia, marxismo, América Latina.
THEORIES OF DEPENDENCE AND THE QUESTION OF THE STATE IN LATIN AMERICA: CRITICAL (AND AUTOCRITICAL) REFLECTIONS IN THE HINGE OF THE SEVENTIES AND EIGHTIES YEARS
This article aims to carry out a review of a set of texts written at a very particular and fleeting moment in Latin American Marxism. We refer to the number of productions that took place at the frontier of the seventies and eighties. We are meaning a context of defeat for the subaltern sectors, after the process of popular advance in the region occurred during the sixties and the first half of the seventies. In this hinge of decades, after the irradiation of studies on dependency in Latin America, the concerns of such approaches intersect with an inquiry about the state phenomenon and its Latin American specificity. In these pages, we will review this moment of theoretical reflection, by the analysis of some work of four figures of Latin American Marxism: Norbert Lechner (German, Chilean naturalized), Agustín Cueva (Ecuadorian), René Zavaleta (Bolivian) and Marcos Kaplan (Argentinian).
Keywords: State, dependency, Marxism, Latin America.

El artículo aborda el problema enfrentado por la crítica literaria en la búsqueda de una identidad latinoamericana, ya que al tratar de reflexionar sobre el tema, surgen varias inquietudes con respecto a los propios términos.En este estudio intentamos definir términos tales como crítica, literatura latinoamericana, y la identidad. La contribución es, por lo tanto, de aclaración.Por último, se sugiere lo que debería ser la tarea de la crítica y el papel de la crítica en el contexto de América Latina, con el sincretismo cultural y la unidad de los temas que le dan una identidad. Tiene que ser una tarea creativa, una que da a luz la ideología y el conocimiento, que se manifiesta dialécticamente la relación producción-significante, la sociedad y la historia, y que hace evidente la la síntesis cultural que América Latina proyecta como su imagen. The articIe discusses the problem confronted by literary criticism in the search for a Latin American identity, inasmuch as while attempting to reflect on the subject, there arise several concems regarding the terms themselves.In this study we attempt to define such terms as criticism, critic, Latin American literature, and identity. The contribution is, therefore, one of cIarification.Finally, we suggest what should be the task of criticism and the role of the critic in the Latin American context, with the cultural sincretism and unity of issues that give it an identity. It must be a creative task, one that brings forth ideology and knowledge, that manifests dialectically the production-signifier relationship, society and history, and that evinces the cultural synthesis that Latin America projects as its image.

Full textAbstract:
Gabriel García Márquez's literary portrait of the arrival of the pianola in Macondo in One Hundred Years of Solitude functions as a metaphor for the reception and cultural legitimization of player pianos in Latin America during their heyday in the 1910s and 1920s. As a technological intruder, the player piano inhabited a liminal space between the manual and the mechanical as well as between unmediated musical experiences and the mechanically mediated consumption of sounds. It thus constitutes a paradigmatic case by which to examine the contingent construction of ideas about tradition and modernity. The international trade in player pianos between the United States and Latin America during the first decades of the twentieth century was developed in tandem with the commercial expansion and political interventionism of the United States throughout the Americas during the same period. The efforts of North American businessmen to capture the Latin American market and the establishment of marketing networks between US companies and Latin American dealers reveal a complex interplay of mutual stereotyping, First World War commercial geopolitics, capitalization on European cultural/musical referents, and multiple strategies of appropriation and reconfiguration in relation to the player piano's technological and aesthetic potential. The reception of player pianos in Latin America was characterized by anxieties very similar to those of US consumers, particularly with regard to the acousmatic nature of their sounds and their perceived uncanniness. The cultural legitimization of the instrument in the region depended, however, on its adaptation to local discourses, cultural practices, soundscapes, expectations, language, gender constructions, and especially repertoires.

Los resultados obtenidos utilizando técnicas de datos de panel nos permiten hablar de convergencia sólo en un sentido condicional. Realmente, encontramos que el principal factor que explica el proceso de crecimiento y convergencia en esta región es el nivel de capital humano. Esta variable ha sido construida usando la metodología de Componentes Principales y tomando en consideración variables tales como la tasa de matrícula en educación primaria y secundaria, el número de habitantes por médico, la esperanza de vida, la mortalidad infantil y la tasa de dependencia.

Full textAbstract:
The narrative process is inherently selective and consequently open to distortion and falsification. J. M. Synge humorously illustrated this in The Playboy of the Western World, in which his central character, Christy Mahon, reinvents himself through the telling and retelling of his own story. Play-boy, a much more recent performance work created by Desperate Optimists, takes as its opening gambit the riots that accompanied the first performances of this controversial Irish classic and adds a bewildering variety of other narrative materials to the mix—providing, as it does so, a tongue-in-cheek commentary on this story about stories. A detailed account of the show in performance and the manner in which the company construct their own tall tales initiates an investigation into how fact becomes fiction in the creation of new narrative accounts, narrative being considered as a participatory event that is both a psychological imperative and a ludic pleasure. Neal Swettenham lectures in drama at Loughborough University. His research into the role and status of narrative in contemporary theatre has led him to fresh examinations of both traditional story-based drama and avant-garde performance work. In particular, he has written about the plays of American dramatist Richard Foreman and is currently exploring the challenges presented to both actor and director by these texts.

The Gulistan – which consists of short, moralistic tales, aphorisms, proverbs, and Sufic lore – helped introduce Persian thought to the early modern European public (and later influenced Goethe’s West-östlicher Diwan as well as Montesquieu’s Lettres persanes).

Este artículo propone analizar la poética electrónica en un contexto latinoamericano y dentro de una tradición literaria hispánica. El artículo parte de la hipótesis de que los nuevos géneros ciberliterarios existen en constante diálogo con una tradición arraigada de experimentación literaria en América Latina: varios de los géneros ciberliterarios emergentes, tales como la poesía-twitter, la novela-hipertexto, o el blog literario, dialogan con movimientos literarios precursores como la poesía concretista, los caligramas, el testimonio, la crónica, y muchos otros. El artículo ofrece un análisis comparativo de dos obras de poética electrónica hispanoamericana que dialogan con movimientos literarios precursores. Se enfoca en particular en la obra colaborativa Women: Memory of Repression in Argentina (2003) y en Radikal Karaoke de Belén Gache (2011), y propone entender estas obras como parte de un continuum de posibles negociaciones entre tecnologías digitales y géneros literarios establecidos. This article aims to analyse electronic poetry in a Latin American context, and as part of a Hispanic literary tradition. The article starts off from the premise that new digital literary genres exist in a constant dialogue with a long-standing tradition of literary experimentation in Latin America. It argues that many of the emerging digital literary genres, such as twitter-poetry, hypertext novels, or literary blogs, dialogue with prior literary movements or genres such as concrete poetry, caligrammes, testimonios, crónicas, and much more. Within this context, the article offers a comparative analysis of two works of electronic poetry from Latin American which dialogue with prior literary movements. It focuses in particular on the collective piece, Women: Memory of Repression in Argentina (2003) and Radikal Karaoke by Belén Gache, and aims to understand both of these works as on a continuum of possible negotiations between digital technologies and established literary genres.

Full textAbstract:
An important piece of early Irish literary material, Óengus’ dream bears several similarities with Oscar Wilde’s The Fisherman and his Soul. It will be demonstrated that liminality (from limen meaning “threshold” in Latin), as epitomized by the presence of water in both tales, can be interpreted as a passage to the Otherworld. It is the liminal and otherworldly aspect of water that brings into existence the universal human aspiration towards the supernatural unification with the cosmos and the theme of all-encompassing love; recurrent topoi in Irish literature from the very beginnings until today. Furthermore, Wilde’s tale is not so much about the “devotional revolution” of religious transformation in a post-Famine Ireland, but an even more universal expression of a “revolutionary devotion”: the Fisherman’s unusual attachment to the forbidden. This supernatural yet human feeling of transition, “in-betweenness” or metaxy makes both tales operate in several dimensions across time and geographical space.

<p>Edgar Allan Poe’s bicentenary triggered new translations and research on his life and works. Studies have been conducted by several noteworthy scholars such as Silverman (1991) and Peeples (1998 and 2004) indicating that the selected tales in this essay are Poe’s political message to the society of his time. The presence of Latin and Hellenic phrases and names in Poe’s critique has been indicated in the past. However, despite the existence of numerous analyses with respect to the Latin motifs in Poe’s narratives, even in Lois Vines’ Poe Abroad (1999) there has been no research dedicated to the apparent presence of Hellenic references in Poe’s works. Moreover, a methodic study devoted to the presence of the Hellenic domain in Poe’s storytelling has never been undertaken. Presenting promismcging evidence for an extensive study, I aim to delve into these references and identify the reasons why Poe turned to Greece as a source of inspiration.</p>

Full textAbstract:
Abstract The twelfth-century Jewish traveller, Benjamin of Tudela and his Book of Travels has attracted widespread attention since the Middle Ages. The narrative, however, has largely been read and studied in the context of what it can tell scholars about the medieval world. This article shifts the approach away from the Book of Travels’ content to its reception. Under discussion is Constantijn L’Empereur’s 1633 Latin edition. This article reveals how L’Empereur elevated the Book of Travels from a travelogue into a work of rabbinic literature to undermine the text’s authority. It argues that by attacking the veracity of the account, L’Empereur employed the narrative in anti-Jewish polemics against the cunning, and theologically blind Jews to illustrate the errors of their beliefs. By illuminating L’Empereur’s engagement with the text, the article also situates L’Empereur’s use of rabbinic literature in the wider early modern debate about the utility of Hebrew language study and rabbinic literature for Christian scholars.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractFourteenth-century Italian humanists discussed the properties of tragedy while considering the value of Latin versus vernacular literature. Boccaccio was interested in these discussions because humanists were promoting classicizing tragic and epic literatures at the expense of vernacular writing. This article explores Boccaccio’s role in these debates by examining the tragic stories of the Decameron. It suggests that Boccaccio highlighted the virtues of his erotic tales by contrasting them to the tragic stories of day 4, a strategy inspired by Ovid’s elegiac poems. Boccaccio thus underscored the dignity of his low, Ovidian-inspired Decameron, and counterbalanced humanist fascination with high tragic-epic literatures.

The Academy of Accounting Historians has as its motto the Latin proverb praetera illuminet postera, the past illuminates the future. It is an apt motto in many ways. Certainly, many thoughtful accounting academics and professionals will consider how accounting theory and practice have evolved over time, and thereby gain a deeper insight into how both professional and scholarly endeavors should be conducted. But this AHJ Salmagundi article suggests another way by which the past can illuminate the future. Accounting history provides concrete examples of fundamental accounting concepts. And, because many of these examples are found in scandalous, shocking, and sordid events, the lessons could be more compellingly and vividly illustrated to the audience, by the operation of the rhetorical phenomena collectively known as the Aristotelean Triad.

Full textAbstract:
The Garden of Eden narrative has been woven, in one form or another in several literary traditions, particularly those of the Western world. The symbolic and socio-cultural significance of the ancient account have continued to inform gender relations, as well as those with the numinous, and/or one’s idealistic aspirations of prowess, sagacity, and overall status of superiority. This is evinced in the literary work of the major periods of the Western Canon. Here we pose the question of whether or not the mythic or mythologized narrative of the Garden of Eden has in the process of centuries undergone any substantial transformation – those ascribable to an evolving myth. To this end a systematic study of a series of later tales is undertaken: a Latin tale, the Boccaccio tale derived from it, and a Boccaccio ‘70 short by Fellini. Of particular interest is the transition from literary forms to time-based visual media. The popularity of film, and now digital media, offers a singular comparativistic look into the dynamics of the Garden myth transposed on screens. To the original title question is added a meta-analytic reflection and the purview of any new moral dimension the innovations brings about. The study involves a targeted examination of aesthetic and ethic elements: the formal strategies, praxis, and dynamics between the protagonists of each tale. The main proposition is intended to re-affirm the substantial immutability of the ancient paradigmatic tale: it appears to have undergone only superficial transformations, which reiterate its universal appeal and significance across time and cultural traditions.

The study of folklore heritage, along with the analysis of the collecting activity of individual local history experts and enthusiasts, is of genuine interest in the folklore studies. One of such people was Vladimir Dmitrievich Atlasov, born in Ust-Aldansky District. The goal of this article consists in examination of some questions of collecting activity Of V. D. Atlasov based on the text structure of Olonkho, as well as in establishment of the record of Olonkho text “Kentestey Bege”. For achieving the set goal, the author applies descriptive, structural and comparative methods. Based on the published texts and archival materials, the article examines certain aspects of V. D. Atlasov's collecting activity for documentation of the Yakut heroic epic tales Olonkho. The novelty consists in the fact that this article is first to analyze the folkloristic work of V. D. Atlasov – enthusiast, collector of Olonkho, and textology of interpretation of the Yakut heroic epic tale “Kentestey Bege” by S. M. Neustroev. As a result of textological research of the manuscript, the author determines some peculiarities of the record of Olonkho. The presence of multiple revisions testifies that Neustroev was working hand to hand with the Olonkhosut (the storyteller, performer of Olonkho). The text was carefully vetted, and in some instances edited by the collector. The texts is written mostly in modern graphics, although the letters of the old Latin alphabet are used occasionally.

A partir de la revisión historiográfica de los estudios profesionales del Diseño se expone el origen de la concepción de usuario como axioma de sus métodos de producción y de sus discursos imperantes: estrategia, emprendimiento e innovación. Para el estudio crítico de este marco de pensamiento se consideran los postulados filosóficos de Bolívar Echeverría, particularmente, sus teorías Universalismo concreto y Ethos histórico con el objetivo de comprender la función del valor de uso en la reproducción de las culturas y las cuatro formas como éste se gesta en las sociedades contemporáneas siempre en relación con el valor de cambio. Hacia el cierre del artículo, ambos análisis confluyen en la problematización de la enseñanza y la investigación del diseño en América Latina. En suma, se trata de un experimento especulativo que toma referencias de las ciencias sociales para reflexionar sobre el rol y la responsabilidad de las disciplinas creativas como agentes sociales, mostrando, a la vez, el potencial de las referencias iberoamericanas en el estudio de las problemáticas y de los usuarios de la misma región. La consideración de fuentes ajenas al campo del diseño se realiza con el deseo de resolver los dilemas que su práctica profesional presenta más, este acercamiento se realiza hasta el punto en que resuelve tales incertidumbres sin ahondar a profundidad en los corpus y las discusiones de esos otros campos de conocimiento. Se plantea como experimento por hacer uso de conceptos y constructos intelectuales con una visión transdisciplinar, pero con el reconocimiento de la necesidad de crear formas particulares de investigación propias del mundo del diseño.

Full textAbstract:
In the full-text databases of Latin sources from Europe from the period between 400 and 1500, the Latin word for violence crops up around two thousand times, about as often as “justice” (2,400) though not as often as other interesting words like “envy” (6,000) or “vengeance” (3,800). The frequency of use of the word, adjusted for the vagaries of survival, reveals an interesting trend. From the tenth to the eleventh centuries, an age of predatory castellans and violent territorial expansion, the frequency nearly doubles in the extant literature, and remains high for several centuries to come. The word often appears in texts alongside nauseating tales of violence, of hands lopped off and eyes plucked out and intestines dragged from their hidden recesses. There is the story told by Guibert of Nogent about the predatory castellan Thomas de Marle, who hung his captives by their testicles until the weight of their own bodies tore them off. These were exempla. They painted verbal pictures of the behavior of those who were surely doomed to hell. In the hands of clerical authors like Guibert, they served as a goad to kings and princes who, in their indolence, might allow this stuff to go unavenged.

Full textAbstract:
The image on the cover of this second issue of JOLCEL shows a detail from the so-called Franks Casket, an early eight-century Anglo-Saxon chest made out of whale’s bone, possibly designed to hold a psalter. This artefact constitutes a truly breath-taking nexus of cultural traditions, juxtaposing tableaus as varied as Romulus and Remus being suckled by the shewolf, the mythical Germanic Wayland the Smith at work on his anvil, and the Adoration of the Magi. The scene which has been reproduced here depicts the consequences of the Roman emperor Titus’ sacking of the city of Jerusalem. The inscription in the upper righthand margin starts out in the Latin tongue and script: “hic fugiant hierusalim” (“Here flee from Jerusalem…”). This phrase is then continued vertically, still in Latin but rendered in Anglo-Saxon runes: “ᚪᚠᛁᛏᚪᛏᚩᚱᛖᛋ,” which can be transcribed as “(h)abitatores” (“…its inhabitants”). If we also were to take a look at the left side of this panel (not included here), we would encounter further runic inscriptions in Anglo-Saxon that describe the ancient siege itself. Clearly, Latin and its cultural past are being represented here as being part of a larger and more complex whole, a whole in which, at first sight, they do not even seem to occupy a central position.
This leads us to the present volume’s overarching topic, ‘Latin on the margins’, which has its earliest origins in the Telling Tales Out of School-conference organised by RELICS in 2017. It might come as a surprise to the reader that, only having arrived at our second issue, we turn to the aspect of Latin on the margins. However, by placing these topics at the centre of our journal, and in dialogue with texts that are traditionally considered key texts of the Latin tradition, we seek to reconsider the aspect of centre versus margin in Latin literature, with a particular focus on how education in Latin played a crucial role in this.
Indeed, the three articles we present to the reader in this issue deal with texts that are generally viewed as examples of the use of Latin in the margins. The margins in question are either geographical ones (Tlatelolco in Mexico City) or chronological ones (nineteenthcentury Sweden). This issue hopes to show that what we have come to define as ‘marginal’ is only a question of perspective. In the formation of writers that we consider today to be at the margin of the Latin tradition, Latin education still was—or had recently become—a central element.
Andrew Laird (Brown University) and Heréndira Tellez Nieto (Cátedras Conacyt), in their respective articles, draw attention to the College of Tlatelolco, located in Mexico City. The use of Latin for the instruction of the Nahua peoples was never regarded as a ‘marginal’ phenomenon; on the contrary, Latin was a crucial medium to enhance mutual understanding, which in turn created a new and vibrant dynamic, far from Europe. This explains how Tlatelolco became a new centre for the study of the Latin language and its literatures, in interaction with the indigenous traditions of native Mexicans.
Chronologically and geographically, nineteenth-century Sweden is, undoubtedly, at the margin of the Latin tradition; but, as Arsenii Vetushko-Kalevich (Lund University) explores in his article, for someone like Carl Georg Brunius, author of the longest Latin poem ever written in Sweden, the attempt to rewrite Nordic mythology in classical Latin hexameters probably felt more like a natural reflex than as an anachronism. By reinterpreting the classical echoes in the epic De diis arctois as more than mere “metrical necessities,” Vetushko-Kalevich seeks to give new meaning to the poem.
Finally, in his illuminative response to the articles of this issue, Alejandro Coroleu (ICREA—Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona) reflects more deeply on the consequences of this thinking in terms of what he calls “beyond Europe, beyond the Renaissance, and beyond the vernacular.” He makes a plea for the inclusion of these texts that are usually left out of the picture, in order to get a better insight in the aspects which make the Latin tradition a cosmopolitan one.
The second issue of JOLCEL focuses on texts from the (early) modern period, but intentionally goes beyond those of the Italian humanist ideals. The articles analyse the use of Latin in contexts where the idea of translatio imperii is at first sight no longer a logical one: the Latin tradition has to impose itself on already existing traditions, such as the Nahua mythology or Nordic sagas. Interestingly, this imposition soon shifts to a renegotiation of the hierarchy of traditions. Latin, then, becomes a medium in which new traditions emerge.

Full textAbstract:
Two of the tales mentioned in the title are in many ways typical of the great collections of stories (The Canterbury Tales and Il Decamerone) to which they belong. What makes them conspicuous is no doubt the intensity of the erotic desire presented as the ultimate law which justifies even the most outrageous actions. The cult of eroticism is combined there with a cult of youth, which means disaster for the protagonists, who try to combine eroticism with advanced age. And yet the stories in question have roots in a very different tradition in which overt eroticism is punished and can only reassert itself in a chastened form, its transformation being due to sacrifices made by the lover to become reunited with the object of his love. A medieval example of the latter tradition is here the Middle English romance, Sir Orfeo. All of the three narratives are conspicuously connected by the motif of the enchanted tree. The Middle Ages are associated with a tendency to moralize ancient literature, the most obvious example of which is the French anonymous work Ovide moralisé (Moralized Ovid), and its Latin version Ovidius Moralizatus by Pierre Bersuire. In the case of The Merchant’s Tale and The Tale of the Enchanted Pear-Tree, we seem to meet with the opposite process, that is with a medieval demoralization of an essentially didactic tradition. The present article deals with the problem of how this transformation could happen and the extent of the resulting un-morality. Some use has also been made of the possible biblical parallels with the tales in question.

Full textAbstract:
This article examines the strategy of literary spatialization employed by colonial subjects to imaginatively engage with colonial civilizing projects. It analyzes twelve adventure stories written between the 1910s and 1920s by colonial Vietnamese reformed scholars, whose lives were impacted by the pan-Asian reform movements that swept Japan, China, and Vietnam between the 1860s and 1900s. They reflected their experiences with Enlightened civilization as they were pushing for vernacularization and modernization through translating the Chinese transculturation of Japanese texts into Latin-basedquốc ngữscript while constructing a national literature. Adventure tales and travelogues were considered suitable for aspiring writers to translatively imitate Western literature as presented in Chinese translation of Japanese texts. The authors negotiated with the French version of Enlightened Civilization by employing two East Asian literary tropes: the dangerous but exciting Rivers-and-Lakes World, where the protagonist ventures to search forvăn minh, and the peaceful and other-worldly Peach Blossom Spring utopia, where the true qualities ofvăn minhare realized. These stories reveal colonial subjects’ admiration for and anxiety regarding the Frenchmission civilisatrice, and their literary efforts to imagine a Vietnamesevăn minhthat would both impress and surpass the original models.

Full textAbstract:
This study examines the relationship between the work of Pliny the Elder and Marc Lescarbot's Histoire de la Nouvelle-France. Among the many works cited by the erudite lawyer, the annals of the Roman naturalist stand out as constituting a veritable encyclopedia of universal knowledge. Curiously, Lescarbot, who sees in the Natural History a model to imitate, is not afraid to commit to paper the tales and exaggerations that it contains, if only to set himself apart from them. The importance of the French traveller's indebtedness to his Latin predecessor can be explained not only by the authority that the latter enjoyed at the beginning of the Grand Siècle, but also by an agreement of thought: very much like the Roman, the Frenchman from Vervins castigates the deceptive behaviour and the taste for luxury so widespread among his contemporaries.

Full textAbstract:
Children's author and publishing entrepreneur Constancio C. Vigil was a Uruguayan who spent most of his working life in Argentina. He was best known for his children's magazine Billiken (1919 to present). Vigil's contemporary and compatriot Horacio Quiroga also made the move across the River Plate and went on to have a transformative impact on Argentine literary culture, in part through his Jungle Tales for Children (1924). Both Quiroga and Vigil aspired to have their works for children accepted as school reading books, recognising the role of school authorities in the formation of the national canon. Vigil and Quiroga's trajectories of inclusion and exclusion, and their extraordinary contribution to the Argentine and Latin American cultural landscape in the first half of the twentieth century, provide a window onto the curation of an Argentine national children's literature at the same time as challenging the very nature of such a category.

Se analizan algunos factores política y socialmente relevantes que dan cuenta de la recuperación de concepciones relacionales del individuo y la sociedad, tales como las expresadas en la filosofía de la liberación, la filosofía andina, el pensamiento decolonial y otras constelaciones teóricas de matriz latinoamericana. Frente al intento del neoliberalismo de construcción de un sujeto empresario de sí mismo que se vincula con los demás en términos de competencia, surge como respuesta en Latinoamérica en general y en Argentina en particular un renovado interés por estudiar y aplicar desarrollos teóricos que privilegian una concepción del sujeto y la subjetividad como una construcción derivada de la primacía de la relación por sobre la sustancia como categoría fundacional de la realidad. Si bien esto concuerda con tendencias similares presentes en otras latitudes, en Latinoamérica se da con características propias, entre otras razones por haber sido en los países del sur de la región en donde primero se pusieron en práctica las propuestas de la escuela de Chicago.This paper analyses some relevant political and social factors that give an account of the interest in relational conceptions of the individual and society, such as those expressed in the philosophy of liberation, Andean philosophy, decolonial thought and other theoretical perspectives that show a Latin American matrix. In contrast to the conception of the subject as an entrepreneur of himself who interacts with others in terms of competition, a renewed interest in studying and using theoretical approaches that privilege a conception of the subject and subjectivity as a construction derived from the primacy of the relation over the substance, understood as a founding category of reality, is becoming relevant in Latin American in general and, particularly, in Argentina. Although this process is consistent with similar tendencies in other parts of the world, it has distinctive characteristics in Latin America because, among other reasons, the agenda of the Chicago School was first introduced and implemented in the southern countries of the region.

Full textAbstract:
«Rys up, my wyf, my love, my lady free» (1.2138) -however it has been the literary scholars who have followed old January with much greater alacrity than his «fresshe May» into the literary and rhetorical world of the wedding chamber and the garden that Chaucer lets the Merchant create for the married couple. The scholars, in turn, especially those interested in sources, metaphor, analogy, and allusion have been richly rewarded by the study of The Merchant's Tale, this «dense mosaic of references, allusions, quotations», as G. G. Sedgewick has described it. Unifying the richly structured composition of this «mosaic» is the theme of frustrated love, a concern to which many of these «ref- erences, allusions, quotations» point. One of the earlier critical concerns was to track down the analogues. It proved to be a fertile field; by now it has become a critical commonplace that one of the central motifs of Chaucer's tale—the blind man and the adulterous youth the pear-tree-cluster—is of Mid Eastern origin and can be found among the tales of the Disciplina Clericalis. This anthology of Eastern folklore—com- prising East Indian, Byzantine, Persian, Arabian, and Hebrew materials—was compiled in Latin back in the twelfth century by Petrus Alfunsus. Alfunsus, originally a Jewish scholar born in Spain, converted to Christianity, and eventu- ally emigrated to England where he became royal physician to King Henry I. He wrote the Disciplina while he resided in England. Alfonsi's collection of thirty- four tales is important as a bridge by which what is commonly called the literaty «matter of Araby» in both form and content became a tradition that supplied vernacular medieaval Europen writers.

En este trabajo se presenta una visión preliminar y descriptiva de los cambios en los arreglos residenciales en la población de 60 años y más en siete ciudades latinoamericanas. Se exploran la intensidad del cambio, sus razones, la estructura familiar inicial, y el cambio de vivienda física. Los datos utilizados en este estudio provienen de las encuestas de Salud Bienestar y Envejecimiento en América Latina y el Caribe (Sabe) que fueron levantadas en las principales zonas urbanas de siete países de Latinoamérica. Se expone inicialmente un análisis comparativo entre países con datos sin estandarizar, y posteriormente se presentan modelos logitos multinomiales que controlan por variables explicativas o confusoras (edad, índice de artefactos). Entre los principales resultados se advierte que la población en edad avanzada cambia de arreglo residencial en proporciones importantes en las siete ciudades latinoamericanas aquí consideradas. El sexo y la edad del adulto mayor son diferenciales determinantes en la magnitud de la movilidad, pues los más viejos y las mujeres son los más propensos a cambiar su estructura familiar. Los cambios de estructura familiar sufridos por los adultos mayores entremezclan etapas del curso de vida de los individuos y de las familias; destacan la salida de los hijos del hogar por unión y la transición a la viudez. Los adultos mayores que residen con sus hijos y sin su cónyuge cambian de arreglo familiar en mayores proporciones. El cambio de arreglo residencial no conlleva necesariamente un cambio de vivienda física, lo que implica que no es siempre el adulto mayor quien se muda con otros (familiares o no). Dado que las ciudades seleccionadas reflejan distintas etapas de la transición demográfica, se esperaba que al controlar por variables demográficas disminuyeran las diferencias entre países; esto no sucedió, lo cual muestra que ciertas desigualdades culturales e institucionales pueden estar incidiendo en tales desemejanzas. AbstractThis article presents a preliminary, descriptive view of the changes in residential arrangements of the population ages 60 and over in seven Latin American cities. It explores the intensity of the change, the reasons behind it, the initial family and the physical change of dwelling. The data used in this study are drawn from the surveys on Health, Well-being and Ageing in Latin America and the Caribbean (Sabe) taken in the main urban zones of seven Latin American urban zones. The article begins with a comparative analysis of countries with data without standardizing them and subsequently presents logit-multinomial models that control for explanatory or confusing variables (age, index of artifacts). The main results show that the population of advanced age changes its residential arrangements in significant proportions in the seven Latin American cities considered here. Senior citizens’ sex and age are determining differentials in the scope of mobility, since older adults and women are the most likely to change their family structure. The changes in family structure undergone by senior citizens combine stages in the course of the lives of individuals and families: foremost among these are when their offspring leave home to form unions and the transition to widowhood. Senior citizens living with their children and without their spouses change their family arrangements more frequently. Changing one’s residential arrangements does not necessarily lead to a physical change of dwelling, meaning that it is not always the senior citizen who moves in with others (whether relatives or non-relatives). Given that the cities selected reflect different stages in the demographic transition, controlling for demographic variables was expected to reduce the differences between countries, which did not in fact happen. This proven that certain cultural and institutional inequalities may be influencing these dissimilarities.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract Starting from the premise that cultures assume myriads of foreign elements, alterities, and differences, this paper analyses a phenomenon that becomes a conscious and an intentional one, namely language hybridity. Our purpose is to give thoughtful attention to certain instances of hybridity perceived at the syntactic, semantic, and lexical levels. Since language users make their choice in any situational context, we witness a great degree of linguistic blending: e. g. the borrowing of words and phrases becomes tied to new ways of making meaning. Additionally, we face a dynamic increase of mixed language registers, styles, and voices that form a complex linguistic repertoire in a literary work. For exemplification, we will analyse Margaret Atwood’s experimentations across genre and linguistic boundaries encountered in her short story Dark Lady, integral part of the short fiction collection Stone Mattress. Nine Wicked Tales (2014). This narrative is characterized by a mixture of heterogeneous elements: hybrid phrases created as a result of borrowing words, elevated language (sprinkled with widely known Latin sayings), and alteration of idioms by one-word substitution. Hybridity becomes a way through which Margaret Atwood deconstructs language borders. In Dark Lady, the Canadian writer shows that hybridity stimulates innovation since the individual is allowed to move freely between spaces of meaning.

Full textAbstract:
The aim of this article is to present an evaluation of digital teaching skills in a project funded by the National Distance Education System (SINED) in Mexico conducted on a Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) which was designed to develop competences in teachers in the distance learning or classroom setting for the integration of open educational resources (OER). The course was conducted by the Regional Open Latin American Community for Social and Educational Research (Clarise), and posed the question: how are distance learning didactic competences using OER developed? The aim was to identify and evaluate how OER were used and the form they took throughout the stages of the open education movement. The study deployed a mixed methodology with instruments such as emailed questionnaires for the MOOC participants, viewing screens in the discussion forums and anecdotal evidence. The results show that MOOC participants were able to develop digital teaching skills, identify how to use OER and how the training process occurs in the open education movement. Constraints to the development of these skills were also seen in the acculturation in the open education movement, as well as limitations on the design of distance learning models that promote these skills and the recognition of informal learning. El objetivo de este artículo es presentar la evaluación de competencias digitales didácticas en el entorno de un proyecto financiado por el Sistema Nacional de Educación a Distancia (SINED) de México, donde se llevó a cabo un curso masivo abierto (Massive Open Online Course: MOOC, por sus siglas en inglés), dirigido a desarrollar competencias en profesores de educación a distancia o presencial para integrar recursos educativos abiertos (REA). El curso se impartió a través de la Comunidad Latinoamericana Abierta Regional de Investigación Social y Educativa (Clarise). Se partió de la interrogante ¿cómo se desarrollan las competencias didácticas en ambientes de aprendizaje a distancia que utilizan REA?, con el fin de identificar y evaluar cómo se usan los REA y cómo se está formando a través de las etapas del movimiento educativo abierto. La metodología empleada fue mixta, con instrumentos de cuestionarios electrónicos para los participantes, rejillas de observación en foros de discusión y registros anecdóticos. Los resultados muestran que los participantes en un MOOC, logran desarrollar competencias digitales didácticas, lográndose identificar claramente cómo se usan los REA y cómo se está dando el proceso de formación en el movimiento educativo abierto; sin embargo, también se denotan limitaciones para el desarrollo de estas competencias, tales como la culturización en el movimiento educativo abierto, el diseño de modelos de aprendizaje a distancia que promuevan las competencias y el reconocimiento del aprendizaje informal.

Full textAbstract:
Los últimos 30 años en Costa Rica han estado marcados por una notable contradicción dentro de la administración de la justicia. Aunque las bases axiológicas del Ministerio de Justicia y Paz –encargado de gestionar las prisiones en el país– están asentadas sobre la normativa de los derechos humanos y el modelo progresivo de la pena, estos valores han sido sistemáticamente contrariados debido a la enfática legislación punitiva, la cual ha propiciado que el país destaque en los últimos años entre los cinco de América Latina con mayor tasa de encarcelamiento. Esa notable paradoja marcó un reciente y amplio debate. Durante el periodo 2015-2018, se tomaron una serie de medidas para atenuar la condición de hiperencarcelamiento, tales como los traslados extraordinarios al modelo semiinstitucional. Dichas acciones fueron percibidas por la opinión pública desde el pánico moral y la reafirmación del castigo. Este artículo retoma esa controversia, como un ámbito de análisis sugerente de aspectos complejos como la propia concepción del Estado, el castigo y la justicia.
Abstract
The last thirty years in Costa Rica had been marked by an important contradiction in the aspect of justice administration. Even though the axiological bases of the Ministry of Justice and Peace –institution in charge of the prisons in the country– were raised in the human rights normative and the progressive penalty system, these values have been systematically contradicted due to the emphatic punitive legislation, which has caused the country to stand out in the last years among the five Latin American countries with the higher rate of imprisonment. This notable paradox propitiated a broad debate. Between 2015 and 2018, some measures were implemented to mitigate the condition of hyper-incarceration, like the extraordinary transfers to the semi-institutional (or semi open) model. Such measures were perceived by the public opinion from a moral panic reaction and a vindication of the punishment. This paper recovers that controversy, as a field of analysis suggestive of complex aspects such as the very conception of the State, punishment and justice.

Muchos avances se han producido en la última década en cuánto a los tratamientos coadyuvantes para la epilepsia refractaria (ER) en niños tales como la Dieta Cetogénica (DC), los fármacos antiepilépticos (FAE) y recientemente la regulación del uso de cannabis como ley de fondo en nuestro país, a iniciado los primeros pasos en materia de ensayos clínicos en relación a esta enfermedad crónica. Objetivos: 1) Conocer la planta y sus componentes como tratamiento coadyuvante para la ER 2) Indagar a cerca de la regulación de fondo del uso Medicinal de la planta de cannabis y sus derivados en Argentina 3) analizar la legislación de la marihuana en el derecho comparado latinoamericano. Material y Métodos: se realizo una revisión sistemática de los artículos encontrados en la literatura científica que nuclean palabras claves tales como: cannabinoides, epilepsia refractaria, niños, legislación y derecho comparado durante abril 2017 a abril 2018, en los principales portales médicos por un lado tales como Pubmed, Medline, Lilacs y Cochrane, como así también en los portales jurídicos sobre legislación y doctrina especializada de la Dirección de Servicios Legislativos de la Biblioteca del Congreso de la Nación Argentina. El idioma utilizado fue el ingles y español. Resultados: El avance jurídico de la ley 27.350 denominada “Uso medicinal del cannabis y sus derivados” y su decreto reglamentario 738/2017 en nuestro país, abre un nuevo escenario medico jurídico el cual permitirá fortalecer los ensayos clínicos randomizados con estudios doble-ciego, placebo controlados con el objetivo de demostrar la efectividad y seguridad de su uso en la población infantil. Los datos preliminares de la investigación sugieren que el cannabis es efectivo en un 59 % de los casos reportados en el tratamiento de los niños/as y adolescentes con ER. Sin embargo, los datos disponibles en los centros de Argentina son limitados y experimentales en una primera facie no permitiendo sacar conclusiones aún. Es meritorio destacar que varios de los países latinoamericanos fueron precursores del marco regulatorio en el uso de la marihuana medicinal y nuestro país ha receptado sus bases legislativas para dar respuestas a nuevos escenarios sociales que demanden respuestas médicas jurídicos.
Many advances have occurred in the last decade in terms of adjuvant treatments for refractory epilepsy (ER) in children such as the Ketogenic Diet (DC), antiepileptic drugs (FAE) and recently the regulation of the use of cannabis as a law of background in our country, has begun the first steps in clinical trials in relation to this chronic disease. Objectives: 1) Know the plant and its components as an adjunctive treatment for the ER 2) Inquire about the basic regulation of the medicinal use of the cannabis plant and its derivatives in Argentina 3) analyze the legislation of marijuana in the law Latin American compared. Material and Methods: a systematic review of the articles found in the scientific literature that combine keywords such as: cannabinoids, refractory epilepsy, children, legislation and law compared during April 2017 to April 2018, in the main medical portals on the one hand such as Pubmed, Medline, Lilacs and Cochrane, as well as in the legal portals on legislation and specialized doctrine of the Legislative Services Department of the Library of Congress of the Argentine Nation. The language used was English and Spanish. Results: The legal advance of the law 27,350 called “Medicinal use of cannabis and its derivatives” and its regulatory decree 738/2017 in our country, opens a new legal medical scenario which will strengthen the randomized clinical trials with double-blind studies, placebo controlled in order to demonstrate the effectiveness and safety of its use in children. Preliminary research data suggest that cannabis is effective in 59% of the cases reported in the treatment of children and adolescents with RE. However, the data available in the centers of Argentina are limited and experimental in a first facie not allowing conclusions yet. It is worth mentioning that several of the Latin American countries were precursors of the regulatory framework in the use of medical marijuana and our country has received its legislative bases to respond to new social scenarios that demand legal medical responses.

Full textAbstract:
A revisiting of Salvador Martí i Puig’s approach to globalization and the turn toward governance in explaining the roots and impact of the political mobilization of Latin America’s indigenous peoples since the 1990s recasts governance as a disciplinary regime that in the case of Nicaragua co-opted potentially radical oppositional movements into the neoliberal project that accompanied Latin America’s democratic transition. The discussion takes as its empirical case the autonomy process on Nicaragua’s Caribbean coast, which in its twenty-fifth year represents the most sustained devolution of power to indigenous peoples in Latin America. Una revisión de los estudios de Salvador Martí i de Puig sobre la globalización y el giro hacia la gobernanza como manera de explicar las raíces y el impacto de la movilización política de los pueblos indígenas de América Latina desde la década de 1990 reformula la gobernanza como un régimen disciplinario que, en el caso de Nicaragua, cooptó movimientos potencialmente radicales, convirtiéndolos en parte del proyecto neoliberal que se llevó a cabo a la par de la transición democrática de América Latina. Nuestra discusión se centra en un caso empírico: el proceso de autonomía en la costa caribeña nicaragüense. En su vigésimo quinto año, dicho proceso constituye la devolución de autonomía indígena más sostenida en América Latina.
