Founding a Convent in the Philippines: Discursive Keys to Travel Narratives of Early Modern Female Religious Communities
Authors: Pérez María D. Martos
Published: July 2024

This chapter examines the various chronicles, biographies, and autobiographies narrating the transoceanic crossings of the nun Jerónima de la Asunción (1555–1630) and her religious community of Poor Clares, who left Spain to found the first Catholic convent in the Philippines in 1621. It compares their foundation narrative in dialogue with other nuns’ travel narratives, such as those of the Sion, Capuchin, and the Bridgettine nuns, in that the communities share conceptual paradigms of self-representation and female agency. These narratives propagate an image of women that undoubtedly contradicts the official discourse through which socially accepted female models are symbolically forged. My chapter focuses on the key elements on which the narratives construct the nuns’ discursive representations.
Trade, Credit, and Marriage: The Mobility of Portuguese Conversa Merchants and Financiers
Authors: Casado Cristina Hernández
Published: July 2024

This chapter explores the mobility and activities of four Portuguese women merchants and financiers during the first half of the seventeenth century. All were conversas (descendants of Jews) and belonged to prominent merchant houses that carried out international business. Most dealt in trade negotiations and lent credit to the Spanish Monarchy, continuing their husbands’ international negotiations when widowed. These women traveled from Lisbon to Madrid, but also to Cádiz and to the Netherlands. By tracing and investigating their activities, I chart their travels, which were due to their husbands’ dealings that became theirs, to their need to take care of their family debts, to their own participation in commercial transactions, and even to marry.
The Body in the Bathhouse: Health and Bathing in Early Modern Sweden
Authors: Forss Charlotta
Published: July 2024

This study examines what was considered healthy and unhealthy in relation to the early modern Swedish sweat bath culture. Health in the bathhouse, or sauna, was far from straight forward. Instead, an array of factors was understood to work together to determine if a particular bath was healthy for a particular body, at a particular time. By mapping out these complexities, the study brings attention to how different interpretative frameworks and practical circumstance interlinked in the day-to-day determination of what was healthy in the early modern period. While health was a signifier of the good life, it was also understood as situation-dependent, tied to body types and to places.
Richard of Gloucester’s Elemental Thinking : Water and Sovereignty in Shakespeare’s First Tetralogy
Authors: Bertram Benjamin
Published: July 2024

Drawing upon elemental ecocriticism and cognitive theory, in particular the “4E perspective” that sees the mind as embodied, enactive, embedded, and extended, this essay argues that Richard of Gloucester’s remarkable transformation in Shakespeare’s Henry VI, Part 3 is bound up with his desire to maintain a sovereign control of the element of water. Richard not only sees water as power, he also thinks with it; water is part of his cognitive process throughout the first tetralogy. Sovereignty is here regarded not simply as a discourse but also as a particular experience of distributed cognition that extends across mind, body, and world.
Speaking Water and Seeping Memory in Michael Drayton’s Poly-Olbion
Authors: Kerwin William
Published: July 2024

This chapter continues the treatment of Michael Drayton as early modern England’s greatest ecopoet by attending to how his epic voices the memories of rivers. Poly-Olbion also comes alive when read through an ecofeminist lens, as female figures speak for the non-human world. For Drayton, water moves as the primal source through a network of rivers, which serve as our guides, our historians, and our opinion columnists leading us across his island. The connections between water and memory, and Drayton’s innovative fusion of the chorography and the Tudor complaint poem, lay out an historically specific version of environmental awareness, touching on mountains and forests but offering most powerfully an example of hydropoesis, or a watery aesthetics.
Agatha Christie and Gothic Horror
Authors: Richards Stuart
Published: July 2024

Agatha Christie’s work has been adapted extensively resulting in transformations that are both textual and cultural. While many adaptations are best known for being quaint murder mysteries, there are many adaptations of her work that draw on horror aesthetics. This book will look at how the growth of Agatha Christie adaptations have grown increasingly darker. Of key relevance to this study is the work of Sarah Phelps, whose Witness for the Prosecution, And Then There Were None, Ordeal by Innocence, The ABC Murders and The Pale Horse all are darker than their precedents. Born out of their contemporary screen contexts, they use entrenched literary and filmic codes of Gothic horror as central reference points for audiences. Drawing on adaptation scholarship, where adapters are interpreters as well as creators, this study will look at how Agatha Christie is closer to Gothic horror than what we realise.

Cold War Myth from Elite Democracy to Martial Law in the Genre Cinema
Authors: Gonzaga Elmo
Published: July 2024

With a career spanning six decades, the iconic actor, director, and producer Fernando Poe Jr., or FPJ, derived his immense popularity from his mythic persona as a hero of the oppressed. This chapter examines how the changing aesthetics and politics of his understudied films from the 1960s and 1970s were shaped by a bipolar Cold War imaginary of integration and containment. Patterned after the Western genre, FPJ’s 1960s narratives feature a solitary, altruistic stranger who liberates a marginalized community from its victimization by politicians, bandits, and landlords. Looking at FPJ’s artistic collaborations with Lino Brocka, Eddie Romero, and Celso Ad. Castillo, this chapter analyzes how tropes of heroism and suspicion are reworked at the onset of Marcos’ Martial Law dictatorship, which persecuted its opponents as communist fronts.
SOS Hong Kong: Coproducing Espionage Films in Cold War Asia*
Authors: Lee Sangjoon
Published: July 2024

With the success of Dr. No and Goldfinger in Asia, film industries in Asia recognized the market potential of spy movies and began churning out their own James Bond–mimetic espionage films in the late 1960s. In the US-driven Cold War sphere, developmental states in the region, particularly South Korea and Taiwan, adopted an anti-communist doctrine to guard and uphold their militant dictatorships. Under this political atmosphere in the regional sphere, cultural sectors in each nation-state—including cinema—voluntarily or compulsorily served as an apparatus to strengthen the state’s ideological principles. This chapter casts a critical eye on the South Korea–initiated inter-Asian coproduction of espionage films produced in this period, with particular reference to SOS Hong Kong (1966) and Special Agent X-7 (1966).
Object Re-identification : Problems, Algorithms and Responsible Research Practice
Authors: Zheng Zhedong , Zheng Liang
Published: July 2024

In this chapter, we discuss the object re-identification problem in the computer vision context of vehicles, people, etc. This task allows us to match objects under different views, which benefits many real-world applications such as public safety and traffic control. Existing works in this area focus on the development of discriminative features, ranging from backbone to loss function design. We also highlight the necessity of data-centric research, where improving and analysing data is the primary objective. Apart from these technical perspectives, we discuss responsible practices, such as the use of synthetic data instead of real data, data anonymisation and economical learning schemes. These practices would support ethical use and deployment of object re-identification systems.
New Approaches to Ernst Lubitsch
Authors: Peucker Brigitte , Lewit Ido
Published: July 2024

This exciting collection of unpublished essays on Ernst Lubitsch addresses multiple gaps in scholarly and critical engagement with the director. His understudied early German films shed light on Jewish culture, on the relation of comedy to gender and the influence of theatre on his filmmaking. The popular historical epics brought Lubitsch an invitation to Hollywood in 1922. There, Lubitsch helped develop the film musical and notably contributed to the genre of Hollywood romantic comedy. The well-known scholars—film historians, archivists, and theorists—whose essays appear in this volume expand our knowledge of the set designers, actors, directors and members of the emigré community who contributed to Lubitsch’s vibrant films. An emphasis on the role of material objects opens up a new dimension of critical engagement with the director. Light is shed on neglected films, and the antifascist dimension of his oeuvre brings his political stance clearly to light. As these essays make clear, Lubtisch’s cinema is elusive and deserving of our close attention.

Published: July 2024

The quarrying industry in Nigeria has far-reaching socioeconomic and environmental implications that demand careful consideration of sustainable practices and innovative technologies. This comprehensive review delves into the multifaceted impacts of quarrying on local communities and the environment, highlighting challenges such as habitat destruction, air, noise,water pollution, environmental degradation, and socioeconomic disparities. Furthermore, it accesses current sustainable quarrying practices and innovative technologies to mitigate these impacts and improve efficiency. To address these challenges, this paper also emphasizes the importance of implementing robust policies and regulations governing quarrying activities in Nigeria. Through analysis of real-world examples, case studies, and existing literature, this review uncovers promising solutions that can enhance quarrying operations’ sustainability and environmental performance in Nigeria and worldwide. This paper unveils that, while quarrying is an important industry in Nigeria, it is critical to ensure it is carried out sustainably and responsibly. This can be achieved through improved regulations, strengthening sustainable quarrying practices, conducting thorough environmental impact assessments, establishing buffer zones around quarries, enforcing stricter pollution control measures, stakeholder engagement, and adoption of new technologies such as advanced blasting techniques, dust suppression technologies, automation and robotics machinery, water recycling, and treatment systems, waste recycling management, and reforestation and restoration techniques.It is evident that there are gaps and inconsistencies in Nigeria’s policy and regulatory framework, and there is a lack of research on the effective implementation of sustainable practices and new technologies. Therefore, further research is recommended on areas such as the lasting impact of sustainable practices, the potential of new technologies, and the enhancement of policy and regulatory frameworks to improve the sustainability and efficiency of quarrying operations in Nigeria.

Judith Butler e uma Certa Ideia de Natureza
Authors: Negreiros Emílio de Britto
Published: July 2024

Este ensaio é um comentário possível ao recente livro de Butler, Que mundo é este? - Uma fenomenologia pandêmica, no que diz respeito aos pontos de contato dele com o tema da natureza, dos problemas ambientais e das questões candentes sobre as mudanças climáticas, que de uma forma e de outra são incorporados pelo debate butleriano, especialmente nas ideias de precariedade e reconhecimento, enfatizando nelas suas dimensões éticas e políticas. A filosofia política de Butler e as proposições ontológicas que ela constrói são fundamentais para pensarmos o que aqui começamos a conceber como uma sociologia da natureza, cujo desenvolvimento adequado faremos a posteriori. Nesse sentido, podemos entender o antropoceno nos contornos dessa crítica teórica, no contexto social atual, em que a pandemia de covid ainda deixa seus rastros entre os humanos e natureza e nos alerta para nossa contingência e finitude.

Hydrokinetic energy devices harness the kinetic energy from flowing water to generate electricity without the need for large dams or reservoirs. This technology represents a significant advancement in renewable energy, offering an environmentally friendly alternative to traditional hydroelectric power. Hydrokinetic devices include various designs such as tidal stream generators, free-flow turbines in rivers and streams, and ocean current turbines. These devices operate by capturing the energy from natural water movements such as tides, river currents, and ocean currents through turbines or other mechanisms that convert kinetic energy into electrical power. The study of hydrokinetic energy devices focuses on their design, development, and deployment in diverse aquatic environments. Key areas of research include optimizing turbine efficiency, improving structural durability, and minimizing environmental impacts. Advances in computational modelling and simulation play a crucial role in this field, allowing researchers to predict device performance under various conditions and to refine designs before physical implementation. Hydrokinetic energy systems offer numerous advantages, including reduced ecological disruption compared to traditional dam-based hydroelectric projects, as they do not require large-scale alterations to watercourses. They also provide a continuous and predictable source of energy, particularly in tidal and ocean current applications, where water movements are regular and reliable. Challenges in the development and deployment of hydrokinetic devices include the harsh underwater environment, which can cause mechanical wear and biofouling, and the need for robust mooring and anchoring systems to withstand strong currents. Additionally, ensuring compatibility with marine ecosystems and minimizing impacts on aquatic life are critical considerations. Overall, hydrokinetic energy devices hold significant promise for expanding the portfolio of renewable energy sources. Continued research and development, supported by advances in materials science, engineering, and environmental science, are essential to overcoming the technical and ecological challenges, making hydrokinetic energy a viable and sustainable option for global energy needs.

BIOMASS GASIFICATION FOR HYDROGEN PRODUCTION
Authors: Afor Avwioroko
Published: July 2024

Biomass gasification is emerging as a promising technology for producing hydrogen, addressing the dual challenges of sustainable energy supply and environmental conservation. This process converts biomass into syngas—a mixture primarily composed of hydrogen, carbon monoxide, and carbon dioxide—through thermal decomposition in a controlled environment. The syngas is then processed to extract hydrogen, which can serve as a clean fuel for various applications, including transportation and industrial processes. This paper provides an overview of the biomass gasification process, detailing suitable biomass feedstock types and gasifier types, such as fixed-bed, fluidized-bed, and entrained-flow gasifiers. It explores the conversion of syngas to hydrogen, highlighting essential catalytic reforming and purification techniques for producing high-purity hydrogen. The environmental benefits of this technology includes the utilization of renewable resources and reduction of greenhouse gas emissions compared to fossil fuel-based hydrogen production. Economically, biomass gasification offers a feasible pathway for decentralized hydrogen production, potentially lowering transportation costs and enhancing energy security, especially in biomass-rich regions. However, the deployment of biomass gasification technology is not void of challenges – some common challenges with biomass gasification technology include coping with the variability of biomass feedstock, tar formation, and the need for technological advancements to improve efficiency and scalability. This paper also discusses ongoing research and potential innovations aimed at overcoming these obstacles, ensuring biomass gasification's viability as a key player in the future hydrogen economy. Through case studies and real-world applications, this paper illustrates the practical implementation and successes of biomass gasification projects, offering valuable insights into best practices and lessons learned. In conclusion, biomass gasification stands out as a sustainable and economically viable solution for hydrogen production, with the potential to significantly advance global clean energy goals.

Abstract. Secondary inorganic aerosols (SIAs) are major components of fine particulate matter (PM2.5), having substantial implications for climate and air quality in an urban environment. In this study, a state-of-the-art thermodynamic model has been coupled to the source dispersion and photochemistry city-scale chemistry transport model EPISODE–CityChem, which is able to simulate pollutants at a horizontal resolution of 100 m×100 m, to determine the equilibrium between the inorganic gas and aerosol phases over the greater Athens area, Greece, for the year 2019. In agreement with in situ observations, sulfate (SO42-) is calculated to have the highest annual mean surface concentration (2.15 ± 0.88 µg m−3) among SIAs in the model domain, followed by ammonium (NH4+; 0.58 ± 0.14 µg m−3) and fine nitrate (NO3-; 0.24 ± 0.22 µg m−3). Simulations denote that NO3- formation strongly depends on the local nitrogen oxide emissions, along with the ambient temperature, the relative humidity, and the photochemical activity. Additionally, we show that anthropogenic combustion sources may have an important impact on the NO3- formation in an urban area. During the cold period, the combined effect of decreased temperature in the presence of non-sea-salt potassium favors the partitioning of HNO3 in the aerosol phase in the model, raising the NO3- formation in the area. Overall, this work highlights the significance of atmospheric composition and the local meteorological conditions for the equilibrium distribution of nitrogen-containing semi-volatile compounds and the acidity of inorganic aerosols, especially in urban areas where atmospheric trace elements from natural and anthropogenic sources coexist.
Preparation of low-concentration H2 test gas mixtures in ambient air for calibration of H2 sensors
Authors: Karbach Niklas , Höhler Lisa , Hoor Peter , Bozem Heiko , Bobrowski Nicole , Hoffmann Thorsten
Published: July 2024

Abstract. Using electrochemical gas sensors for quantitative measurements of trace gas components in ambient air introduces several challenges, of which interference, drift and aging of the sensor are the most significant. Frequent and precise calibration as well as thorough characterization of the sensor helps to achieve reliable and repeatable results. We therefore propose the use of a simple, lightweight and inexpensive setup to produce hydrogen calibration gases with precisely known concentrations in ambient air. The hydrogen is produced by electrolysis with electric current monitoring, and the output can be set to any value between ∼ 3 and ∼ 11 µgH2min-1. With a dilution flow of 500 mL min−1, for example, this results in a concentration range from ∼ 70 up to ∼ 240 ppm, but concentrations significantly below or above this range can also be covered with accordingly modified dilution flows. This setup can be used not only for calibration, but also for thorough and long-term characterization of electrochemical gas sensors to evaluate sensitivity, zero voltage and response time over extended periods of time.
Tropospheric Ozone sensing with a differential absorption lidar based on single CO2 Raman cell
Authors: Fan Guangqiang , Fu Yibin , Huo Juntao , Xiang Yan , Zhang Tianshu , Liu Wenqing
Published: July 2024

Abstract. This study presents the development and performance evaluation of an ozone differential absorption lidar system. The system could effectively obtain vertical profiles of lower tropospheric ozone in an altitude range of 0.3 to 4 km with high spatiotemporal resolutions. The system emits three laser beams at wavelengths of 276 nm, 287 nm, 299 nm by using the stimulated Raman effect of carbon dioxide (CO2). A 250 mm telescope and a grating spectrometer are used to collect and separate the backscattering signals at the three wavelengths. Considering the influences of aerosol interference and statistical error, a wavelength pair of 276 nm–287 nm is used for the altitude below 600 m and a wavelength pair of 287 nm–299 nm is used for the altitude above 600 m to invert ozone concentration. We also evaluated the errors caused by the uncertainty of the wavelength index. The developed ozone lidar was deployed in a field campaign that was conducted to measure the vertical profiles of ozone using a tethered balloon platform. The lidar observations agree very well with those of the tethered balloon platform.

Despite ample knowledge on the SPV's high variability and its frequent disruptions by sudden stratospheric warmings (SSWs) in the Northern Hemisphere (NH), questions on how well current climate models can simulate these dynamics remain open. Specifically the accuracy in reproducing SPV morphology and the differentiation between split and displacement SSW events are crucial to assess the models in this regard. In this study, we evaluate the capability of climate models to simulate the NH SPV by comparing large ensembles of historical simulations to ERA5 reanalysis data. For this, we analyze geometric-based diagnostics at three pressure levels that describe SPV morphology. Our analysis reveals that no model exactly reproduces SPV morphology of ERA5 in all diagnostics at all altitudes. Concerning the SPV morphology as stretching (aspect ratio) and location (centroid latitude) parameters, most models are biased to some extent, but the strongest deviations can be found for the vortex-splitting parameter (excess kurtosis). Moreover, some models underestimate the variability of SPV strength. Assessing the reliability of the ensembles in distinguishing SSWs subdivided into SPV displacement and split events, we find large differences between the model ensembles. In general, SPV displacements are represented better than splits in the simulation ensembles, and high-top models and models with finer vertical resolution perform better. A good performance in representing the morphological diagnostics does not necessarily imply reliability and therefore a good performance in simulating displacements and splits. Assessing the model biases and their representation of SPV dynamics is needed to improve credibility of climate model projections, for example, by giving stronger weightings to better performing models.

Employment is one of the core behaviors regulating the modern societal structure. Research has shown that with the passage of years, an increasing number of students are getting employed and that there are numerous benefits and consequences of this phenomenon. Keeping this development in mind, it is imperative to study how jobs are affecting the students of our society. A sample of 250 undergraduate students was used, including 125 employed students and 125 unemployed students, ranging from the ages of 18 to 30 (M=21.26, SD=1.49). Data was collected using purposive sampling. The research was conducted using the Assessing Emotions Scale by Schutte et al. (1998) and Academic Self-efficacy scale (Ghafoor & Ashraf, 2007). An independent samples t-test was conducted to compare the mean differences in emotional intelligence of employed and unemployed students. Significant differences were observed between employed (M=113.13, SD=24.37) and unemployed students (M=118.05, SD=19.47; p=.02). Students who were unemployed were found to have higher emotional intelligence than employed students. An independent samples t-test was conducted to compare the academic self-efficacy scores for employed and unemployed students. There was no significant difference observed in scores for employed students (M=113.45, SD = 13.43) and unemployed students (M=116.40, SD=11.66; p=.15). This study has both practical and theoretical implications for future researchers who wish to examine the role of employment in mediating other psychological constructs among university students.

Despite the well-documented benefits of sprint interval training (SIT) and plyometric training (PT) in improving the physical fitness of soccer players, it remains unclear which of these training methods is superior for enhancing players' aerobic and anaerobic performance. Therefore, this study aimed to compare the effects of SIT and PT on physical performance measures of male soccer players. Thirty male soccer players were randomly assigned to PT (n = 10), SIT (n = 10), and an active control group (CON, n = 10). Before and after the training period, participants underwent a battery of tests consisting of vertical jump, Wingate, linear sprint with and without ball dribbling, change of direction, ball kick, and the Yo-Yo intermittent recovery level 1 (Yo-Yo IR1) tests. Both groups exhibited similar improvements in maximal kicking distance (PT, effect size [ES] = 0.68; SIT, ES = 0.92) and measures of aerobic fitness including maximum oxygen uptake (PT, ES = 1.24; SIT, ES = 1.26) and first (PT, ES = 0.85; SIT, ES = 1.08) and second (PT, ES = 0.86; SIT, ES = 0.98) ventilatory thresholds. However, PT intervention resulted in greater changes in vertical jump (ES = 1.72 vs. 0.82, p = 0.001), anaerobic power (peak power, ES = 1.62 vs. 0.97, p = 0.009; mean power, ES = 1.15 vs. 1.20, p = 0.05), linear speed (20-m, ES = -1.58 vs. -0.98, p = 0.038; 20-m with ball, ES = -0.93 vs. 0.71, p = 0.038), and change of direction ability (ES = -2.56 vs. -2.71, p = 0.046) than SIT. In conclusion, both PT and SIT demonstrated effectiveness in enhancing aerobic performance among male soccer players. However, PT yielded superior improvements in anaerobic power, vertical jump, linear speed, and change of direction performance compared to SIT. These findings suggest that PT may offer additional benefits beyond aerobic conditioning.
Internacionalización del currículo y digitalización en la formación inicial del profesorado de ELE en Alemania
Authors: García García Marta
Published: July 2024

La internacionalización del currículo (IdC), entendida como la incorporación de una dimensión internacional, global e intercultural en los contenidos, procedimientos de enseñanza y aprendizaje, así como en los servicios de apoyo de un programa de estudios (Leask, 2015), se ha convertido en componente esencial en las carreras de formación del profesorado de lenguas modernas, pues un requisito imprescindible para cumplir con una de las exigencias de la escuela en el siglo XXI y educar para una ciudadanía global es, precisamente, haber conocido otros contextos de enseñanza y modelos didácticos. El presente estudio analiza los resultados de un proyecto de IdC en dos cohortes de estudiantes, futuros profesores de ELE en Alemania: una presencial, que asistió a conferencias de expertas internacionales, y otra virtual, que trabajó con materiales digitales desarrollados a partir de esas conferencias. El análisis cualitativo del contenido de las entrevistas y documentos de reflexión (N=16) indica que los estudiantes toman conciencia de la dimensión internacional en la enseñanza de lenguas, superan la tradicional concepción nacional-local de la didáctica, cuestionan sus prejuicios sobre la enseñanza de lenguas y experimentan un enriquecimiento de perspectivas, así como un desarrollo profesional. Estos resultados se aprecian tanto en el grupo presencial como en el virtual, lo que pone de manifiesto el potencial de la digitalización en la internacionalización del profesorado de lenguas.

This paper draws attention to the importance of applying formative assessment principles and providing regular feedback to students at the tertiary level. It reports on the results obtained from a case study conducted with a group of second-year students majoring in English that aimed to investigate the correlation between formative assessment and learning outcomes. During a three-month English Semantics course, one group of students did continuous assessment tasks regularly and were provided with feedback each time. Another group did not do these tasks and they took only two compulsory midterm tests that were prerequisites for taking the final exam. The results were obtained from 10 continuous assessment tests which were taken by one group of students every week as part of the lesson and the learning process, and 2 midterm tests taken by all the respondents. Descriptive statistics was used to present the results, whereby the average, minimal and maximal values were calculated, and subsequently compared and analysed. The main conclusion drawn from the study shows better learning outcomes and better scores obtained by those students who were actively involved in the continuous assessment process.
La realidad virtual (RV) en el aula de la lengua inglesa: un estudio etnográfico
Authors: Dooly Melinda , López Vera Mónica
Published: July 2024

Este artículo presenta un estudio etnográfico que examina dos situaciones didácticas similares en el aula de lengua inglesa. La primera se sitúa en un entorno de realidad virtual (RV) con hablantes nativos de la lengua inglesa y la segunda, entre pares, en un entorno no inmersivo (no RV). Las sesiones se han llevado a cabo a lo largo de 3 meses en una clase de 6º de primaria (N=24; 11 a 12 años). La integración de la RV en el aula tenía como objetivo enriquecer y reforzar las actividades no RV y así brindar más oportunidades de producción y comprensión oral en la lengua meta. Se analizaron las interacciones de 6 estudiantes en los dos entornos, utilizando el Análisis de Conversación Multimodal (ACM). Si bien la RV puede reducir la precisión en la producción del lenguaje de los discentes, los resultados indican que esta facilita un uso más espontáneo de la lengua extranjera, además de proporcionar nuevas oportunidades para su producción y comprensión. El estudio demuestra cómo las actividades RV y no RV son complementarias y promueven la participación y compromiso del alumnado con el aprendizaje lingüístico.
La aplicabilidad de la Fraseodidáctica en la enseñanza-aprendizaje del lenguaje figurado en aprendientes con TEA de grado 1: una revisión de alcance
Authors: Huéscar Villa Myriam
Published: July 2024

Las personas diagnosticadas de TEA de grado 1 destacan, entre otros factores, por manifestar una excesiva literalidad en la interpretación de todo tipo de lenguaje figurado, fenómeno que se ha estudiado desde la Psicología y la Lingüística; no obstante, no se han encontrado investigaciones en las que se coordinen ambas disciplinas. Diversos autores incluyen las unidades fraseológicas (UF) idiomáticas dentro del lenguaje figurado; sin embargo, tampoco consideran las disciplinas que estudian la naturaleza y la didáctica de las mismas: la Fraseología y la Fraseodidáctica. Asimismo, estiman pertinente trabajar el lenguaje figurado con este colectivo desde una perspectiva pedagógica. En esta línea, se plantea como objetivo de esta revisión “establecer unos fundamentos teóricos desde una perspectiva multidisciplinar con el fin de posibilitar la enseñanza/aprendizaje del lenguaje figurado, considerado como un desafío en la interacción social para las personas del espectro autista de grado 1”. Para ello, se ha llevado a cabo una revisión de alcance en la que se han seleccionado 79 publicaciones de Scielo, SemanticScholar, ResearchGate, Google Scholar, Biblioteca Antonio Nebrija de la Universidad de Murcia, PubMed y Biblioteca fraseológica y paremiológica sobre el lenguaje figurado en el TEA desde la Psicología, la Lingüística, la Fraseología y la Fraseodidáctica y se han consultado algunas obras lexicográficas, fraseográficas y paremiográficas. Los resultados de esta revisión muestran que, desde la Fraseodidáctica, se puede trabajar el lenguaje figurado con aprendientes con TEA, dado que las UF incluyen todas las manifestaciones del lenguaje figurado (metáforas, metonimias, humor, ironía, sarcasmo, hipérboles e implicaturas griceanas).
El uso del cuento y las prácticas teatrales en la formación del futuro profesorado de Educación Primaria: una experiencia de alfabetización corporeizada en educación superior
Authors: Reyes de las Casas Sabina
Published: July 2024

En este artículo recogemos una propuesta didáctica llevada a cabo en el marco de la asignatura de Desarrollo de Habilidades Lingüísticas y su Didáctica en Educación Primaria en la Universidad de Sevilla. El objetivo era incorporar el cuento y las prácticas teatrales como estrategias didácticas para trabajar la animación a la lectura y las habilidades lingüísticas con futuros docentes de Educación Primaria. Nuestra hipótesis de partida era que el estudiantado tenía un escaso conocimiento de la Literatura Infantil y Juvenil (LIJ), por lo que nos propusimos introducirla en el aula a través del cuento, abordando asimismo sus posibilidades didácticas. Además, buscábamos también mejorar el clima de aula y favorecer un ambiente óptimo para el trabajo cooperativo. Aquí presentamos el marco teórico de nuestra propuesta, la intervención didáctica realizada y el análisis de la evolución del estudiantado gracias a la realización de un cuestionario, por lo que adoptamos un enfoque metodológico de que combina lo cuantitativo y lo cualitativo.
