ASoP (v1.0): a set of methods for analyzing scales of precipitation in general circulation models
Authors: Klingaman Nicholas P. , Martin Gill M. , Moise Aurel
Published: January 2017

Abstract. General circulation models (GCMs) have been criticized for their failure to represent the observed scales of precipitation, particularly in the tropics where simulated daily rainfall is too light, too frequent and too persistent. Previous assessments have focused on temporally or spatially averaged precipitation, such as daily means or regional averages. These evaluations offer little actionable information for model developers, because the interactions between the resolved dynamics and parameterized physics that produce precipitation occur at the native gridscale and time step. We introduce a set of diagnostics (Analyzing Scales of Precipitation, version 1.0 – ASoP1) to compare the spatial and temporal scales of precipitation across GCMs and observations, which can be applied to data ranging from the gridscale and time step to regional and sub-monthly averages. ASoP1 measures the spectrum of precipitation intensity, temporal variability as a function of intensity and spatial and temporal coherence. When applied to time step, gridscale tropical precipitation from 10 GCMs, the diagnostics reveal that, far from the dreary persistent light rainfall implied by daily mean data, most models produce a broad range of time step intensities that span 1–100 mm day−1. Models show widely varying spatial and temporal scales of time step precipitation. Several GCMs show concerning quasi-random behavior that may influence and/or alter the spectrum of atmospheric waves. Averaging precipitation to a common spatial ( ≈  600 km) or temporal (3 h) resolution substantially reduces variability among models, demonstrating that averaging hides a wealth of information about intrinsic model behavior. When compared against satellite-derived analyses at these scales, all models produce features that are too large and too persistent.
Effect of Herbicides in Paddy Runoff on Seed Germination of Vallisneria asiatica and Ammannia multiflora
Authors: Fujii Shinji , Omura Masao , Sugahara Shogo , Kamiya Hiroshi , Yamamuro Masumi
Published: January 2017

Although rice production provides stable environments for aquatic plants, the wide use of herbicides is a concern for wild plants inhabiting the surroundings of rice paddies. Because commercial herbicides are typically a cocktail of chemicals, they may pose a threat to wild plants even when the constituent chemicals do not individually have detrimental effects. We sampled water from a rice paddy and a river receiving the paddy drainage immediately after the transplanting period to identify and compare the concentrations of herbicides. We also examined the effect of the sampled water on the germination of two plants: Ammannia multiflora (hygrophyte) and Vallisneria asiatica (submerged). We found that the concentrations of glufosinate in the paddy and river waters were 0.0015 and 0.0013 mg L-1, respectively, and those of pyraclonil were 0.0010 and 0.0009 mg L-1 in the same waters, indicating that these chemicals persist outside the rice paddy. The germination rate of A. multiflora was significantly diminished with exposure to river and paddy water under fluctuating temperature conditions, whereas no difference was observed for V. asiatica. For a comprehensive understanding of the influences of residual herbicides on wetland biodiversity, it is necessary to analyse the effects of herbicides on a wide range of aquatic plants and at various stages of growth.
The Effect of Intellectual Capital Disclosure on the Value Creation: An Empirical Study Using Tunisian Annual Reports
Authors: Ferchichi Jihene , Paturel Robert
Published: January 2017

This study examines the informational value of intellectual capital on Tunisian financial markets, which appears as a highly topical issue, especially with the broadening notion of the intellectual capital and its increasing role in investment decisions. Using content analysis of annual reports of 50 companies listed on the Tunisian Stock Exchange selected for the period 2006–2009, we developed a weighted disclosure index based on the users’ needs and expectations in order to estimate the relationship between intellectual capital disclosures and value creation.The results show that the intellectual capital information is positively and significantly correlated with the firm creation value. Reporting on intellectual capital allows resolving uncertainty about the firm, thereby improving an increase in value. This finding confirms the pivotal role of intellectual capital in the valuation of firms listed on the Tunisian Stock Exchange.
Relative Ability of Earnings Data and Cash Flow in Predicting Future Cash Flows
Authors: Takhtaei Nasrollah , Karimi Hassan
Published: January 2017

The purpose of this study is to examine earnings relative ability, operational cash flow, and two traditional measures of cash flows namely net earnings plus depreciation and operational working capital in predicting future cash flows. Also, the effect of company size on ability of predictive measures mentioned is examined in this study. The population examined includes accepted companies in Tehran Stock Exchange during period from 2005 to 2009. The results indicate that net earnings have more ability than operational cash flows and its traditional proxies in predicting the cash flows future. These findings are consistent with Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) claim based on earnings in preference on cash flows in predicting future cash flows.
Effect of Employee Expenses on Usefulness of Accounting Information
Authors: Yaghoobi Horiye , Moradi Mohsen , Nooghabi Mehdi Jabbari
Published: January 2017

In this study, the employee expenses model and earnings model are compared in order to determine whether or not putting the employee expenses in the earning predictability models and high relevance of accounting information to stock value, increases usefulness of accounting information. We use the term ‘earnings model’ to refer to the consideration of earnings alone, for determining earnings predictability as well as value relevance. The term ‘employee model’ refers to the consideration of earnings and employee expenses in determining earnings predictability as well as value relevance. In this study, the cost of employees’ salary, which is shown under the heading of General and administrative expenses in the income statement, is the only monetary information that is available for us and relevance value is determined through the effectiveness of the models in determining stock returns. After applying these limitation, companies which were active in Tehran Stock Exchange from2003 to 2012 were chosen as the target population. The results showed that compared to earnings model, the employee expenses model provides a better prediction of the earnings but it isn’t a better model for predicting the stock relevance (related to the return of the stock).
La mecánica de producción de los imaginarios urbanos
Authors: Campos Medina Luis Alfredo , Alvarez Bové Romina Alejandra
Published: January 2017

La producción de investigaciones sobre imaginarios urbanos ha sido abundante en América

Latina. Sin embargo, tales investigaciones generalmente carecen de una descripción del modo

en que los imaginarios urbanos se producen y, en consecuencia, de una propuesta explícita

respecto del modo en que tal proceso puede ser analizado.

En este artículo proponemos una perspectiva de análisis para abordar la producción de

imaginarios urbanos. Para ello, hacemos una revisión bibliográfica de obras fundamentales en

este campo de estudios y entregamos nuestra propuesta sobre lo que hemos llamado

“mecánica” de producción de imaginarios. Para clarificar nuestro planteamiento hacemos

referencia a dos casos de estudio, el concurso de micro-relatos “Santiago en 100 palabras” y la

Revista “Vivienda y Decoración”, del diario El Mercurio. A partir de ellos, concluimos destacando

los aspectos generalizables de esta propuesta.

De acuerdo a nuestro planteamiento, la mecánica de producción de imaginarios se caracteriza

por ciertas formas específicas de representar la ciudad que, producto de su difusión y

reiteración sistemática, devienen marcos perceptivos de la ciudad, y se instalan como

disposiciones para la acción, dando forma a nuestras experiencias y generando un marco

interpretativo para nuevas representaciones que circulan en el medio urbano.
La reflexión cotidiana en el proyecto arquitectónico. Hacia un vínculo de la teoría con la práctica y el contexto
Authors: Gallardo Frías Laura
Published: January 2017

En este artículo se describe un proceso proyectual, realizado en el taller de arquitectura de

tercer semestre, segundo año, donde se intenta vincular la teoría con la práctica arquitectónica

en el contexto específico de cada uno de los proyectos.

Se toma como referencia la vida cotidiana, poniendo al ser humano en el centro del proyecto

arquitectónico y, a partir de su ciclo de “reflexión”, se propone un camino de investigación

hacia diferentes ámbitos de nuestro diario vivir: la calle, el bar y la casa. Instancias que

configuran tres ejercicios proyectuales donde va cambiando: la ubicación, los habitantes,

el programa, la duración, los conceptos-claves y el grado de dificultad, con la finalidad de realizar

propuestas arquitectónicas que cobijen las distintas acciones.

Así, a partir de distintas teorías procedentes principalmente de la arquitectura y la filosofía,

tomando en particular como base la obra La “reflexión” cotidiana de Humberto Giannini, se

propone mostrar las reflexiones de partida necesarias para poder fundamentar y otorgar un

sentido a los proyectos arquitectónicos en su contexto.
Editorial. La naturaleza y comprensión del territorio a través del hecho y memoria social

sustentabilidad energética y económica, así como el diseño y planificación del territorio.
The draa Cerro Medanoso (Atacama, Chile) and its importance in the study of desert
Authors: Araya Vergara José F. , Vilaró Ricardo
Published: January 2017

This work presents a morphological analysis of the Cerro Medanoso draa (Atacama Marginal Desert) and the type of contact with the desert pavements of neighboring glacis and piedmont. This study is based on an analysis of aerial photos, and a digital elevation model. Aster GDEM was used as a basis for the survey. Fieldwork observations covered two principal zones: the nucleus and the envelope. Following fieldwork, analysis of satellite imagery was conducted. It was possible to identify the following phases of formation: construction of a stellate nucleus, merging of the eastern envelope, merging of the southern envelope and merging of a complex western envelope. The southeastern facing envelope is much bigger than the northwestern facing one. Consequently, the construction of the complex draa is asymmetric. The correlation of this megadune with similar star and compound draas to other deserts in the world indicates that the closest analogue exists in Namibia, but without merging signals between the envelope and the nucleus. Star draas observed in other deserts exhibit a lack of this envelope. With reference to the neighboring piedmont, the beginning of its deflation must be necessarily correlative to the initial construction of the nuclear twin star draa. The later deflation could be responsible for the pulses, which formed the envelope. Therefore, the neighboring desert pavement and the draa are correlative landforms, which represent a very long time formation, in an important part of the desert history, as evidenced by the cited and referenced research works.

As praias do Forte Orange, Pilar e Jaguaribe estão localizadas a 50 km ao norte da cidade do Recife, no município da Ilha de Itamaracá. Nas últimas décadas apresentou um rápido crescimento urbano, ligado principalmente às atividades turísticas da orla. As construções irregulares e empreendimentos turísticos na zona da pós-praia diminui a capacidade de transporte dos sedimentos, e sua deposição no sistema praial interferindo na morfodinâmica do ambiente e, assim, promove a instalação da erosão marinha. O estudo teve como objetivo identificar e avaliar através de índices quantitativos e qualitativos o grau de vulnerabilidade à erosão costeira. Para isto foi levado em consideração as atividades humanas e as características naturais da praia. A metodologia foi realizada a partir do mapeamento de toda a orla. Identificou-se cada setor, por células e os índices do grau de vulnerabilidade foram definidos como: alto, médio e baixo. No setor 1 (Sul) observou-se um grau moderado de vulnerabilidade à erosão, este apresentou uma pós-praia desenvolvida com certa tendência a progradação. O setor 2 (Centro) recebeu um alto grau de vulnerabilidade, onde parte da pós-praia foi totalmente ocupada, apresentou estruturas rígidas de proteção à costa. O setor 3 (Norte) recebeu também alto grau de vulnerabilidade, este setor apresentou boa parte da pós-praia ocupada com construções inadequadas e um pequeno trecho deste ambiente desenvolvido, com tendência a progradação. A identificação de setores por meio do grau de vulnerabilidade mostrou ser uma importante ferramenta de análise e fornece subsídios a política públicas e ao gerenciamento costeiro.
Business-Led Social Innovation in the Work Integration Field: The Role of Large Firms and Corporate Foundations
Authors: Rey-Garcia Marta , Mato-Santiso Vanessa
Published: January 2017

The overall aim of this article is to understand the type of roles that corporate actors (large corporations and corporate foundations) play in social innovation processes taking place in the field of work integration. Its first specific goal is to depict the dynamics of the field in Spain. In order to achieve it, we describe the field and characterize the roles of relevant actors using strategic action field theory. The second goal consists of understanding how large firms and corporate foundations can contribute innovative solutions to the field. “Juntos por el Empleo”, a collective impact initiative to promote the work integration for the most vulnerable groups of population in Spain, is explored as an illustrative example. This cross-sector partnership, led by Accenture Foundation, encompasses the efforts of over 1000 organizations, including corporate actors. Data collection methods combine secondary sources, direct observations and in-depth interviews. Results of this qualitative research show a broad variety of innovative ways through which firms and corporate foundations can contribute to the work integration of the disadvantaged, such as participating in the design of tools or programs, disseminating sought after profiles, providing specialized training for particular job positions, designing personalized work paths, acting as large employers for low-qualified people, and finally mobilizing collective efforts and creating new resources through cross-sector partnerships. However, not all these alternatives are equally developed at this point. This paper contributes to fill a research gap about the roles played by corporate actors in social innovation processes and outcomes.

Published: January 2017

This essay examines Orosius’s historical-theological perspectives on the basis of the theologumenon of the Pax Augusta. First, it studies the method of Orosius’s chronography and his understanding of salvific oikonomia. Then the Author analyzes the Imperium Romanum and its fulfillment in the Imperium Christianium. A third section treats the synchronism of the Incarnation of the Logos in the Pax Augusta. Finally, the essay demonstrates how Erik Peterson detached Augustus’s theology as political theology from its late ancient context, and contrasts it with the emerging imperial church of National Socialism and Peterson’s denunciation of it.

Published: January 2017

O presente trabalho visa demonstrar a aplicação dos conceitos geográficos de espaço e paisagem na economia ambiental, do ponto de vista teórico e prático por meio de revisão bibliográfica. O trabalho se divide em três partes: (a) discussão dos conceitos de espaço geográfico e paisagem; (b) diferenciação entre as duas principais vertentes da economia ambiental; e (c) análise dos conceitos geográficos aplicados para a economia ambiental. A estimativa do valor econômico de um recurso natural é mais eficiente quando a sua dimensão espacial e temporal é considerada, evitando, assim, uma análise restrita ao benefício econômico e considerando sua integração ao espaço geográfico e paisagem. Assim, esta abordagem salienta a importância da incorporação de novas variáveis aos modelos econômicos existentes.
Preliminary trophic analysis of leaf-mining Nepticulidae: pronounced feeding strategies in Middle and South America?
Authors: Remeikis Andrius , Diškus Arūnas , Stonis Jonas R.
Published: January 2017

The paper briefly analyzes trophic relationships of Nepticulidae occurring in Middle and South America (the Neotropical and Ando-Patagonian regions) for the  first time. The  results show some peculiar features, including unexpectedly large percentage of taxa trophically associated with Asterales (Asteraceae) and Lamiales plants. However, because of insufficient sampling in most regions of the Caribbean and Middle and South America as well as the  fact that only 50% of analyzed taxa are known in host-plant records, the  results of current analysis should be treated as preliminary.
A quick and reliable method for genome-wide host factor screening of Saccharomyces cerevisiae killer toxins
Authors: Servienė Elena , Lukša Juliana , Vepštaitė-Monstavičė Iglė , Urbonavičius Jaunius
Published: January 2017

Numerous yeasts produce toxic compounds to fight the competitors. Such compounds include small molecules (like antibiotics), antibiotic peptides, and also larger proteins, including killer toxins. Their ability to affect the cell depends on the host factors modulating the killing activity. Here we describe a  robotics-based method to advance the  genome-wide screening for the  host factors affecting sensitivity of budding yeast to the killer toxins using the K2 system as the model. We demonstrate that arraying the mutant library on the agar plates containing the K2 killer toxinproducing strain and/or purified toxin (“survival” assay) increases the sensitivity and speed of the screen and decreases the  costs compared to the  traditional “killer” assay. We show the applicability of a new screening method of searching for the  host factors using a  killer strain isolated from agricultural plant environment. In addition, the “survival” assay allows identification of previously undetected factors that could be the “missing links” in the pathways of toxininduced cellular responses.

A study on nuclei in the SEC - report from the Public Speaking Project in Lund
Authors: Mosey Bryan
Published: January 2017

As part of the Public Speaking Project in Lund, the Spoken English Corpus has been processed in a number of ways and put into a database format thus allowing the retrieval of accurate statistical data. Based on a simple definition of nucleus provided by Gerry Knowles, the nuclei in the prosodic transcriptions of the material have been located and marked. A field indicating the position of each word within the tone unit (1 representing the last word of the tone unit and 2, the penultimate word etc.) has also been added thus facilitating the statistical study of nucleus position. Also studied are the tone types occurring in the nuclei in the material. Here, the findings provide empirical support for the postulation of a dichotomy of tone types. The functions of the various nucleus types in the text categories making up the material are discussed on the basis of empirical evidence from the material.

Catégorisation et hiérarchie: sur la pertinence linguistique des termes de base
Authors: Kleiber Georges
Published: January 2017

Le modèle psychologique hiérarchique des catégories proposé par Rosch et al. (1976) a-t-il une quelconque pertinence pour la linguistique ou non ? Cet article a pour objectif d’apporter quelques éléments de réponse à cette question. Il prolonge un autre travail entrepris sur ce sujet où nous nous sommes posé la question Y a-t-il des“termes” de base ? (Kleiber 1993). Il n’a donc pas pour ambition de présenter de nouvelles thèses sur la catégorisation ni de formuler des idées originales sur la sémantique lexicale, mais il s’attachera, beaucoup plus modestement, à travers l’examen de quelques problèmes linguistiques particuliers, a priori éloignés de la question de la spécificité lexicale, à montrer que la notion psychologique de niveau de base a des répercussions linguistiques suffisamment fortes pour qu’elle soit également prise en compte par le linguiste. Une telle entreprise n’est pas inutile, étant donné les objections de fond qu’a pu susciter la conception “verticale” de la sémantique du prototype. Aussi essaierons-nous, dans une première partie, de dégager l’importance de l’enjeu, le poids des arguments opposés et les réponses qu’on peut leur apporter, avant de passer, dans les parties suivantes, sur un plan tout à fait différent, celui des retombées linguistiques avec des manifestations de la notion de catégorie de base dans des domaines où on ne l’attend pas forcément.
An Exploratory Study of Translational Norms in Simultaneous Interpreting: Methodological Reflections
Authors: Schjoldager Anne
Published: January 2017

This paper discusses some possibilities that the theory of translational norms (Toury 1980) may offer in connection with research into simultaneous interpreting. After a brief discussion of the concept of translational norms, I explore how this concept may be useful in interpreting research in general. I then proceed to discuss and criticize the set-up of my own project on simultaneous interpreting and translation - especially how progressive aspect was originally used as a focus of analysis. I conclude by demonstrating how the theory of translational norms has been a useful methodological tool in the analysis of my data. One result is the discovery that certain translational norms seem to be peculiar to simultaneous interpreting - for instance norms regarding what one ought to do in connection with capacity saturation.
El otro exilio: memorias y vida cotidiana de las mujeres en el destierro republicano en Francia / The Other Exile: memory and everyday life of republican women in France
Authors: Martínez Alba Martínez
Published: January 2017

Este estudio se acerca a la complejidad de las vivencias cotidianas femeninas en el exilio republicano en Francia desde la mirada, memorias y recuerdos de una mujer exiliada y bajo una perspectiva de género. Se examinan sus experiencias del destierro intentando buscar esquemas de comportamiento similares a las demás exiliadas. Así, establecemos el foco de atención en la acción y agencia de las mujeres, en su relación con la política en el exilio, en la simbiosis entre el espacio público y privado, así como en las alteraciones y permanencias de los discursos y prácticas de género tradicionales en el marco de la Francia de guerra y posguerra y en el entorno de exiliados españoles. A partir de ello, intentamos ofrecer nuevas y renovadas concepciones del exilio. Palabras clave: Exilio, memorias, mujeres, vida cotidiana, agencia femenina. This paper approaches the complexity within women daily experiences in the republican exile in France from the memories of an exiled woman and under a gender perspective. We analyze her experiences looking for similar behavoir patterns to the rest of the exiled women. Hence, we will focus our attention on women’s agency, on their relations with politics, on the convergence between public and private sphere, as well as on changes and remains in gender traditional discourses and practices in exile. Thus, we try to offer a new and renovated exile vision. Keywords: Exile, memories, women, daily life, women’s agency.
Una política de autores para Latinoamérica. (Nuevos cines y nueva crítica: Argentina, Brasil, México en los sesenta) / A politique des auteurs for Latin America. (New cinemas and new criticism: Argentina, Brasil and México in the sixties)
Authors: Oubiña David Leonardo
Published: January 2017

Las décadas de 1950 y 1960 son las de la transición modernizadora en Latinoamérica: es el momento en que las estructuras industriales (ya sea que hubieran llegado a desarrollarse o no) parecen desfasarse en relación a los intereses de los nuevos cineastas. En esos años de grandes cambios estéticos, culturales y políticos, los directores jóvenes definen sus poéticas por contraste con el viejo cine de los estudios. Siguiendo el modelo de la politique des auteurs enunciada por los críticos de Cahiers du cinéma, la aparición de los nuevos cines en Latinoamérica adquiere características específicas según los contextos nacionales. Este ensayo pretende documentar las distintas reacciones de esos films de autor en las tres cinematografías que eran reconocidas como las más poderosas del continente: Argentina, Brasil y México. Palabras clave: Política de los autores  /  Nuevo cine latinoamericano  /  cine culto y cine popular  / poética y política  /  Industria vs. revolución. The 1950s and 1960s are the decades of modernization in Latin America: it is the moment when industrial structures seem to fall out of phase in reference to the goals of the new filmmakers. During those years of aesthetic, cultural and political transformations, young directors define their poetics in confrontation with the old Studio system. Following the model of the politique des auteurs proposed by the critics of Cahiers du cinéma, the emergence of new cinemas in Latin America develops specific qualities according to the various national contexts. This essay explores the different reactions of these auteur films within the three national cinemas aknowledged, at that time, as the most powerful of the continent: Argentina, Brasil and Mexico. Keywords: Politics of Authorship  /  New Latin American Cinema  /  Popular cinema and highbrow cinema  /  Poetics and politics  /  Industry vs. revolution
Voces femeninas. Género, memoria y exilio en las narrativas testimoniales de mujeres argentinas / Femenine voices. Gender, memory and exile in women’s testimonial narratives from Argentina
Authors: Davidovich Karin
Published: January 2017

Este artículo analiza los testimonios: En estado de memoria de Tununa Mercado (1994), Una sola muerte numerosa de Nora Strejilevich (1997), Sueños sobrevivientes de una montonera: a pesar de la ESMA de Susana Jorgelina Ramus (2000) y Detrás de los ojos de Graciela Fainstein (2006) como formas de una escritura femenina en exilio que resiste los centros de poder impuestos por la cultura oficial. Estas mujeres sobrevivientes de la última dictadura argentina (1976-1983), a través de estos escritos, reflexionan sobre la memoria, la identidad, la escritura y el trauma en relación con la experiencia de ex detenidas desaparecidas y exiliadas. El exilio aparece en sus narrativas como un estado caracterizado por múltiples pérdidas. Sin embargo, será precisamente la inestabilidad identitaria, causada por estas pérdidas que empujará a estas mujeres a escribir, y a escribirse. El exilio, en tanto el espacio psicológico desde el cual  recuerdan se convierte, en un disparador de un tipo de escritura que apunta a la elaboración psicológica del trauma y la construcción de identidad femenina alternativa. Situadas en los márgenes, desterritorializadas, las mujeres construyen identidades en perpetuo devenir que se resisten a tener una esencia única e inamovible. Palabras clave: Exilio, testimonio, violencia, género, memoria, trauma. This article analyzes testimonial narratives: En estado de memoria de Tununa Mercado (1994), Una sola muerte numerosa by Nora Strejilevich (1997), Sueños sobrevivientes de una montonera: a pesar de la ESMA by Susana Jorgelina Ramus (2000), and Detrás de los ojos by Graciela Fainstein (2006) as forms of a feminine writing in exile that resists the centers of power imposed by official culture. These women survivors of the last dictatorship in Argentina (1976-1983), through their accounts, reflect on memory, identity, trauma and writing in relation to their experiences as ex-detainees and exiles. The experience of exile appears as a condition characterized by multiple losses. However, it is precisely the identity instability caused by these losses that will push these women to write. Exile, as the psychological space from which they remember, becomes the trigger of a type of writing that aims towards the working through of trauma, and the construction of alternative feminine identities. Keywords Exile, testimonial narratives, violence, gender, memory, and trauma.

La memoria: un campo en disputa. Usos y desusos del pasado reciente uruguayo / Memory as a disputed ground. Uses and misuses of the recent past in Uruguay
Authors: Lorente Queralt Núria
Published: January 2017

La búsqueda de la verdad y la justicia sobre los crímenes perpetrados durante la dictadura uruguaya se revela como la gran asignatura pendiente de la transición (1980-1989) de este país. Esta etapa de tensiones está marcada por una dialéctica irreconciliable que va a conformar un complejo escenario que ocupará los años 80 y buena parte de los 90. En este contexto entran en disputa diversos relatos sobre el pasado reciente que desafían los parámetros políticos oficiales y los principios dominantes de la industria cultural. Este breve estudio presenta una panorámica de este contexto y examina la emergencia de nuevas formas testimoniales, sus estrategias de representación y los procesos históricos y sociales que las acompañan, a partir del análisis de Las cartas que no llegaron (2000), de Mauricio Rosencof; El furgón de los locos (2001), de Carlos Liscano y la última producción escultórica de Horacio Faedo. Palabras clave: Memoria, representación, ficción, historia, literatura, testimonio, post-dictadura, industria cultural, massmedia.

In that context some narratives about the recent past disputed the legitimacy of State memory policies. This article presents a brief overview of the context and examines the emergence of new testimonial forms, and strategies of representation, focusing on the analysis of Las cartas que no llegaron (2000), of Mauricio Rosencof; El furgón de los locos (2001), of Carlos Liscano and the last sculptural production of Horacio Faedo.

Authors: Simon Porolli Paula
Published: January 2017

Amparo Juan Izquierdo (Torrechiva, Valencia, 1922 - Buenos Aires, 2012) fue una de las miles de españolas que, una vez finalizada la Guerra Civil Española, pasó por los campos de concentración franceses. En su caso, su destino fue el campo de concentración de Rouen, a donde llegó sola, luego de haberse desencontrado de sus hermanas en la frontera. Años más tarde, a principios de los cincuenta, Amparo emigró a Argentina junto a su marido y su hijo, y se radicó en Villa Tesei, provincia de Buenos Aires. Desde su casa, en marzo de 2012, nos contó su historia. Su testimonio se complementa con una entrevista a Natalia Arrieta, su sobrina nieta, a quien crió desde pequeña y quien se considera heredera de sus relatos sobre el exilio y la migración.Palabras clave: Exilio; Guerra Civil Española, Argentina, Testimonio.Amparo Juan Izquierdo (Torrechiva, Valencia, 1922 - Buenos Aires, 2012) was one of the thousands of Spanish republicans  who, after the Spanish Civil War, passed through the French concentration camps.

Lena Constante. Experiencia carcelaria y búsqueda de la palabra liberadora en lengua francesa
Authors: Alfaro Amieiro Margarita
Published: January 2017

Lena Constante (1909-2005), escritora de origen rumano elige la lengua francesa para escribir su testimonio en las cárceles rumanas entre 1950 y 1957. Su vivencia, en un contexto de opresión totalitaria y de injusta acusación, expresa de modo somero las condiciones políticas en las que se produjeron los acontecimientos. Ahora bien, la autora desarrolla todo un conjunto de estrategias transgresoras, ligadas a la composición verbal que plasma en su obra autobiográfica L’évasion silencieuse. Trois mille jours seule dans les prisons roumaines (1990). Lejos de alcanzar la felicidad, realiza su propio camino de liberación interior frente al silencio, el aislamiento y las torturas impuestas.  Palabras clave: Lena Constante; cárcel; silencio; escritura; francés; transgresión-liberación.

Del francés al castellano: las traducciones en la Junta de libros
Authors: González Hernández Cristina
Published: January 2017

Se analiza el protagonismo que adquieren los traductores presentes en la Junta de libros, obra biobibliográfica elaborada en el primer tercio del siglo XVII por Tomás Tamayo de Vargas, y fuente de la Bibliotheca Hispana Nova de Nicolás Antonio, a partir de la cual se ha producido la transmisión en los estudios científicos y bibliográficos posteriores. Junto a la aportación de la información biográfica de tres traductores de obras técnicas y científicas francesas traducidas al castellano y editadas en el siglo XVI, se lleva a cabo la descripción de las obras y se ofrece su tradición bibliográfica post-antoniana tanto en repertorios generales como especializados y se da noticia de los testimonios documentales de especial valor. Para finalizar, se examinan determinados pasajes de los libros y se comparan con el texto original.  Palabras clave: Tamayo de Vargas; Junta de libros; biobibliografías; traductores españoles; lengua francesa.
El traductor de textos no literarios en los siglos XVIII y XIX: enciclopedista, innovador y mediador
Authors: Hassler Gerda
Published: January 2017

Las traducciones de textos científicos jugaban un papel importante en el desarrollo de las ciencias en España en la segunda mitad del siglo XVIII y en la primera del siglo XIX. Nos concentraremos en los traductores que contribuyeron a la difusión del saber científico como la publicación de la traducción de la Enciclopedia Metódica a partir de 1788,cuyo objetivo fue promover el desarrollo de España, especialmente en el aspecto económico. Los textos franceses sobre química eran otro objeto muy frecuente de traducción, por ejemplo, la Memoria sobre la necesidad de perfeccionar y reformar la nomenclatura de la química (1787) de Lavoisier. Los traductores buscaban soluciones traductológicas que se adaptasen mejor al genio de la lengua española y se entendían como enciclopedistas, innovadores y mediadores. Palabras clave: terminología; traducción; adaptación; analogía; denominación.
