Productividad laboral del sector servicios y crecimiento económico en Ecuador
Authors: Cueva-Rodríguez Lucía , Jácome-Estrella Hugo de Jesús
Published: January 2024

Este artículo analiza la relación entre el sector servicios y el crecimiento económico ecuatoriano mediante técnicas econométricas de cointegración y causalidad durante el periodo 1990-2018. Los resultados obtenidos indican que los servicios en conjunto y, en particular, el comercio y el transporte, tienen un impacto positivo en el crecimiento económico a largo plazo; sin embargo, en el corto plazo, los servicios en conjunto tienen un efecto negativo, que puede explicarse por el continuo deterioro de su productividad. Por otro lado, se observa un efecto de causalidad desde el comercio hacia el crecimiento económico y, desde el PIB per cápita hacia los servicios en conjunto y al transporte.

El mandatum pecuniae credendae como garantía personal: consideraciones para su redención
Authors: Ordelin Font Jorge Luis
Published: January 2024

La volatilidad del desarrollo económico impone un replanteamiento de los medios tradicionales que aseguren la efectividad del crédito. El ordenamiento jurídico debe buscar garantías no sólo eficaces, sino también simples y que se puedan adaptar a las condiciones particulares de cada deudor, que permitan su adaptación a las necesidades cambiantes del contexto. Dentro de estas figuras encontramos el mandato de crédito. Empero los fundamentos legales de la figura no son suficientes para el propósito práctico de este artículo, redimir una añeja, pero válida figura. Ello sólo es posible si somos capaces a la luz de los fundamentos actuales del mandato y la fianza, sustentar la  viabilidad e importancia del mandato de crédito como garantía crediticia.

La capacidad de testar. Los menores de edad y su evolución
Authors: Alvarado Guerrero Antonio
Published: January 2024

Este artículo describe el momento en que nace el derecho que los menores de edad tienen para testar. El primer esbozo de este derecho se ubica en la antigua Roma. Varios siglos después, con la importante compilación que hace el Código Napoleónico sobre distintas normas civiles y de derecho familiar, podremos observar la inamovilidad de este derecho hasta nuestros días. Posteriormente identifica las tendencias de las normas actuales y, por lo tanto, la necesidad de que el derecho a testar de los menores se transforme porque ya existen normas vigentes que avalan dicha evolución.
Importancia de celebrar capitulaciones matrimoniales, para regular los efectos económicos del matrimonio
Authors: Pérez Mozqueda Laura Irene
Published: January 2024

Las capitulaciones matrimoniales son pactos económicos mediante los cuales, los otorgantes eligen y delimitan el régimen patrimonial que regirá su matrimonio. No puede esperarse que la sola enunciación de esta figura en la legislación mexicana la haga eficaz. Este trabajo enfatiza el hecho de que actualmente dicha figura se ha convertido debido a diversos factores, en un mero contrato de adhesión que celebran los otorgantes, sin aprovechar la facultad que la ley otorga para regular a partir de la libre voluntad, sin necesidad de aprobación alguna, los efectos económicos de la unión matrimonial, situación que reviste a esta figura de una particular importancia jurídica, económica y social que actualmente es desaprovechada. Desde el punto de vista económico, el matrimonio es un negocio que puede ser o no rentable y en este sentido las capitulaciones matrimoniales se convierten en un instrumento, que puede favorecer la rentabilidad del mismo. Existen varios desafíos para lograr la efectividad de dicha figura, como lo son la necesidad de mayor difusión y conocimiento de su regulación tanto en el ámbito nacional como internacional, finalidad que tiene este trabajo, enfatizando la relevancia y funcionalidad de la celebración consiente, informada y orientada de capitulaciones matrimoniales, principalmente en el desarrollo económico de la pareja e incluso más allá de éste.

Authors: Vega Krumm Edith Julieta
Published: January 2024

La autora revisa la evolución de las estructuras familiares y de los valores que determinan el carácter del vínculo filial en cada etapa histórica, así como el tratamiento judicial a los conflictos en materia de filiación, en donde se muestra la inclusión progresiva del principio de respeto a la dignidad humana para orientar las resoluciones, que, propone, debe proyectarse hasta su más completo alcance, e incidir en las políticas públicas de atención a las causas sociales y económicas que generan la mayor parte de estas controversias.
¿Es sólo cuestión de tiempo? La regulación de la reproducción asistida y el embarazo subrogado en México
Authors: Jasa Silveira Graciela , Moreno Coca Rebeca
Published: January 2024

Este trabajo examina los factores detrás de la inercia legislativa en relación a la regulación de técnicas de reproducción asistida en general centrando el análisis en el embarazo subrogado en México. Se analiza por qué a pesar de los marcados avances en el reconocimiento de derechos reproductivos y de derechos de parejas del mismo sexo en México persiste la falta de una política nacional sobre reproducción asistida y embarazo subrogado. Expone como cuestiones de federalismo, la complejidad normativa a nivel federal y estatal y la priorización de los derechos humanos ha hecho la regulación de la reproducción asistida y embarazo subrogado en México es una tarea mucho más polémica.
La prohibición del matrimonio infantil, a falta de correspondencia con los derechos humanos y la Constitución
Authors: Aguilar Domínguez Alexis
Published: January 2024

El matrimonio es un acto consensuado, pero en muchas ocasiones acontece de manera distinta a lo que habitualmente se espera; cuando se involucra a un menor de edad en un matrimonio, suele ocurrir que éste adolece del consentimiento por parte del menor, pero peor aún: se violentan ciertos derechos humanos al momento de realizar la alianza, y durante el curso, e incluso muchas veces después de disuelto el vínculo matrimonial, se pueden apreciar los estragos que ha ocasionado la temprana unión marital de un menor de edad. Existen tratados internacionales que proscriben el matrimonio sin consentimiento —siendo dicho requisito la piedra angular que debe regir al matrimonio— y por las razones que se vierten en el presente artículo, se sabe que un menor de edad no puede dar el consentimiento pleno e informado que merece un acto de tal magnitud y trascendencia.
Excepciones al derecho de desistimiento en materia de contratación a distancia
Authors: Sosa Olán Henrry
Published: January 2024

Con la transposición de la Directiva de los Derechos de los Consumidores de 2011 al ordenamiento jurídico español, se armonizaron plenamente las excepciones al derecho de desistimiento en materia de contratos celebrados fuera de los establecimientos mercantiles así como de contratación a distancia. El artículo 93 del Texto Refundido de la Ley de Consumidores y Usuarios de 2007 prevé excepciones totales. Asimismo, el artículo 103 de la normativa mencionada prevé excepciones parciales, las cuales se justifican debido a la naturaleza de los productos o servicios, según sea el caso, tal y como veremos en el presente trabajo.
El adulterio como causa de indignidad para heredar en la Ciudad de México
Authors: Ramírez Peña Leticia
Published: January 2024

La autora realiza una investigación del adulterio como causa de incapacidad para heredar. Inicia con un análisis de la figura del adulterio, para luego abordar el estudio de la capacidad para heredar, sin dejar de referirse al análisis de la naturaleza jurídica de la indignidad sucesoria. Posteriormente, aborda el estudio del tema, a partir de su regulación en el Código Civil para el Distrito Federal, y realiza un estudio comparativo entre las distintas legislaciones civiles de la República mexicana. Finalmente, vincula el marco normativo vigente en la Ciudad de México con la opinión doctrinaria y jurisprudencial, e incluye los mecanismos contenidos en la legislación civil adjetiva, que permiten al gobernado hacer valer la sanción por adulterio como causa de indignidad para heredar.
Estudio sobre la resolución del contrato desde la perspectiva del derecho comparado bajo el contexto de la modernización del derecho contractual
Authors: Li Yun
Published: January 2024

La rescisión del contrato no sólo es la razón de eliminación del tráfico de derechos y obligaciones del contrato, sino también una de las formas importantes para remediar el incumplimiento del contrato. Es el sistema legal que debe estipularse enfáticamente en el contexto de la modernización del derecho contractual. Aunque los sistemas de rescisión de contratos estipulados en el derecho contractual de muchos países satisfacen básicamente las necesidades del desarrollo de la economía de mercado en sus propios países, existe aún espacio para mejorar. Este artículo sostiene que la condición de rescisión debe simplificarse y avanzarse más de su estado actual, las reglas de rescisión del contrato deben ser afinadas, y también el efecto de la rescisión del contrato debe transparentarse para de esta manera adaptarse mejor a las necesidades del mercado, de las transacciones y de la evolución de la práctica judicial.
La clasificación de los bienes en los códigos civiles de la República Mexicana
Authors: Adame Goddard Jorge
Published: January 2024

Es un estudio comparativo entre lo que afirman los códigos civiles mexicanos en cuanto a la clasificación de las cosas que son objeto de derechos reales, por una parte, y lo que afirma el derecho romano clásico, con el objeto de detectar las similitudes y diferencias, hacer un juicio valorativo o crítica de éstas, y proponer una nueva manera de clasificarlas. Se propone: incluir el concepto de cosas que no tienen dueño, y entre ellas considerar las cosas abandonadas, y no como un tipo de bienes mostrencos; eliminar el concepto de cosas inmuebles por destino, e introducir el concepto de conjunto de cosas muebles adheridas o al servicio de un inmueble; distinguir entre bienes públicos (los del pueblo) y los bienes que son de alguno de los poderes políticos, que son bienes que deben tener un régimen semejante al de la propiedad particular.

La participación de las familias como sostén de los bachilleratos rurales mexicanos
Authors: Guzmán Gómez Carlota
Published: January 2024

En este artículo se analizan las distintas modalidades de participación de las familias para sostener los telebachilleratos comunitarios mexicanos. La investigación es de corte cualitativo; la información se obtuvo a través de entrevistas en profundidad aplicadas a responsables de plantel. Se encontraron las siguientes modalidades de participación: 1) generación de recursos económicos: pago de cooperaciones y actividades para recaudar fondos; 2) gestiones ante autoridades locales y estatales para conseguir apoyos; y 3) actividades para el funcionamiento de los planteles: limpieza, mantenimiento, remodelación o construcción. Ante la falta de apoyos por parte de las autoridades estatales y federales, el sostén material y el funcionamiento de las escuelas recae en las familias más vulnerables; por ello, no se cumple el derecho a la educación de los jóvenes ni la obligación del Estado de ofrecer educación gratuita, equitativa e inclusiva.

Adults of C. carnea were prevalent in the field from July until the end of the season. The highest numbers of the predator adults caught by the sweeping net were in the middle of September (4 and 8 adults per 50 sweeping net beats in 2017 and 2018, respectively). The correlation between predator adults and maximum, minimum, and average temperatures were negative with low significance, and positive with weak significance between C. carnea adult population and relative humidity in 2017, but no correlation between these variables in 2018 were recorded. The correlation between adults and sunshine duration was negative in both seasons. C. carnea eggs were recorded in cotton fields in July of both seasons and continued to be present all during the season until 14 October in 2017 (22.96 eggs/100 leaves), and in 2018 predator eggs were reduced at the end of September to 7.41eggs/100 leaves.

Vuill Towards the Immature Stages of the Fall Armyworm, Spodoptera frugiperda (J. E. Smith). Arab Journal of Plant Protection, 41(4): 384-390. https://doi.org/10.22268/AJPP-41.4.384390 The fall armyworm, Spodoptera frugiperda Smith (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) is one of the major pests that attack the maize crop. The use of entomopathogenic fungi is considered one of the most important strategies in managing this invasive pest as opposed to synthetic pesticides that are hazardous to human, environment and biodiversity. The experiments were conducted at the Biological Control Studies and Research Center (BCSRC), Faculty of Agricultural Engineering, University of Damascus during the period 2020-2022. The efficiency of seven Beauveria bassiana isolates was evaluated on the immature stages of armyworm. Isolates KA.1 and BS.5 caused the highest eggs mortality rate, 88.17 and 83.40%, respectively, when applied at a concentration of 1 x 108 spores/ml7 days after treatment. Isolate BS.5 caused the highest mortality rate of 54.77% at the same spore concentration and there was no significant effect on second instar larvae and pupae. However, when the isolate KA.1 was used, the highest mortality rate was in the pupa and reached 21.27 % two weeks after treatment. Thus, B. bassiana fungus can be applied with high efficiency in controlling the armyworm community, especially in the early larval stages. Keywords: Entomopathogenic fungi, larval stages, Spodoptera frugiperda.
Multivariate trace estimation in constant quantum depth
Authors: Quek Yihui , Kaur Eneet , Wilde Mark M.
Published: January 2024

There is a folkloric belief that a depth-Θ(m) quantum circuit is needed to estimate the trace of the product of m density matrices (i.e., a multivariate trace), a subroutine crucial to applications in condensed matter and quantum information science. We prove that this belief is overly conservative by constructing a constant quantum-depth circuit for the task, inspired by the method of Shor error correction. Furthermore, our circuit demands only local gates in a two dimensional circuit – we show how to implement it in a highly parallelized way on an architecture similar to that of Google's Sycamore processor. With these features, our algorithm brings the central task of multivariate trace estimation closer to the capabilities of near-term quantum processors. We instantiate the latter application with a theorem on estimating nonlinear functions of quantum states with "well-behaved" polynomial approximations.
Resource engines
Authors: Wojewódka-Ściążko Hanna , Puchała Zbigniew , Korzekwa Kamil
Published: January 2024

In this paper we aim to push the analogy between thermodynamics and quantum resource theories one step further. Previous inspirations were based predominantly on thermodynamic considerations concerning scenarios with a single heat bath, neglecting an important part of thermodynamics that studies heat engines operating between two baths at different temperatures. Here, we investigate the performance of resource engines, which replace the access to two heat baths at different temperatures with two arbitrary constraints on state transformations. The idea is to imitate the action of a two–stroke heat engine, where the system is sent to two agents (Alice and Bob) in turns, and they can transform it using their constrained sets of free operations. We raise and address several questions, including whether or not a resource engine can generate a full set of quantum operations or all possible state transformations, and how many strokes are needed for that. We also explain how the resource engine picture provides a natural way to fuse two or more resource theories, and we discuss in detail the fusion of two resource theories of thermodynamics with two different temperatures, and two resource theories of coherence with respect to two different bases.
Energy densities in quantum mechanics
Authors: Stepanyan V. , Allahverdyan A.E.
Published: January 2024

Quantum mechanics does not provide any ready recipe for defining energy density in space, since the energy and coordinate do not commute. To find a well-motivated energy density, we start from a possibly fundamental, relativistic description for a spin-12 particle: Dirac's equation. Employing its energy-momentum tensor and going to the non-relativistic limit we find a locally conserved non-relativistic energy density that is defined via the Terletsky-Margenau-Hill quasiprobability (which is hence selected among other options). It coincides with the weak value of energy, and also with the hydrodynamic energy in the Madelung representation of quantum dynamics, which includes the quantum potential. Moreover, we find a new form of spin-related energy that is finite in the non-relativistic limit, emerges from the rest energy, and is (separately) locally conserved, though it does not contribute to the global energy budget. This form of energy has a holographic character, i.e., its value for a given volume is expressed via the surface of this volume. Our results apply to situations where local energy representation is essential; e.g. we show that the energy transfer velocity for a large class of free wave-packets (including Gaussian and Airy wave-packets) is larger than its group (i.e. coordinate-transfer) velocity.

Envisioning the Future of Literature in the Age of Globalisation Bangladesh and Beyond
Authors: Quayum Mohammad
Published: January 2024

This article explores the present and future of literature in democratic societies and why literature and the humanities are indispensable for republics like Bangladesh. It investigates the silent crisis literature has been experiencing in the present age of globalisation with its increasing emphasis on STEM subjects in academia and concurrent dismissive attitude towards literature and the humanities as “feckless frills.” With the help of two South Asian short stories – Rabindranath Tagore’s “Kabuliwala” and R.K. Narayan’s “The House Opposite” – the article illustrates how the study of literature helps to create thoughtful, empathetic and imaginative citizens as well as vibrant and sturdy cultures, making it, therefore, imperative for building a healthy, harmonious and symmetrical civilisation. It concludes by advocating that the study of literature not only helps to create a moral centre in an otherwise material culture but can also provide the know-how to participate in and even advance the world of science, business and technology, thereby refuting the fallacy that it is impractical and therefore useless in the modern era.
Rahul Soni (Ed.), Valli: A Novel. Sheela Tomy, Translated by Jayasree Kalathil, India: Harper Perennial India, 2022. 407 pp. ISBN: 9789356290167
Authors: Parandhama Aruna , Dasai Hutulu
Published: January 2024

The debut book of Malayalam author Sheela Tomy, Valli: A Novel, was shortlisted for the JCB Prize for Literature in 2022 and is a contribution to the expanding body of Indian eco-fiction. Jayasree Kalathil translated the book into English. Valli is similar to other eco-fictional works from the South-Western region of India by authors like Na D'Souza's Dweepa: Island (2013), Pundalik Naik's The Upheaval (2002), and Akkineni Kutumbarao's Softly Dies a Lake (2020) in that it treats the land as a living entity throbbing with life. The hardships of rural communities, steeped in tradition, mythology, and unwritten norms governing how they should handle the environment as they attempt to navigate the hurdles of modernization, are central to all of these stories. However, Tomy takes her poetic and artistic descriptions of the landscape a step further by utilising the literary device of pathetic fallacy throughout the book. The author alludes to the Wayanadan people's spiritual interconnectedness to and dependency on the land by foregrounding the hamlet of Kalluvayal, the river Kabani, and the flora and fauna of Wayanad before she speaks about its residents and their worries.
Revisiting South Vietnam: On Battlefield Tourism in “The Americans” and “Fatherland”
Authors: Zhu Jian
Published: January 2024

Although the Vietnam War has officially ended, the battle over memory persists. In The Refugees, Viet Thanh Nguyen offers a transnational perspective on the shaping and contestation of collective memories between the U.S. and Vietnam. Despite being defeated, America employs anticommunist ideology during the Cold War to assimilate the refugee community for its own purposes, creating a salvation myth of “freedom and democracy” and successfully revising history. In contrast, Vietnam is left to commemorate the revolutionary struggle against imperialism through museums, statues, and public cemeteries on its own territory, with South Vietnamese soldiers and civilians systematically erased from history. This homogenized social memory is affiliated with the tourism industry in the global operation of capitalism, further relegating Vietnam to the exotic, Orientalist “Other” struggling on the battlefield of memory.
Fear and Disillusionment: Cultural Memory and Trauma of the Indian Emergency in M. Mukundan’s Delhi: A Soliloquy
Authors: Mary Mathew Nikhitha , Jha Smita
Published: January 2024

Due to the dearth of official records and historical narratives, Indian emergency is often counted as one of the ‘deleted moments’ of Indian history. The role of Indian emergency fiction in producing counter-history of the time by recording cultural memory is a point of discussion in the circles of memory studies. This paper attempts to bring to light how M. Mukundan’s JCB Prize-winning novel Delhi: A Soliloquy presents a cultural counter-memory of the period, with a special focus on how the Malayali minority in Delhi faced political tumult. Reading through the lens of memory and trauma, this paper analyses how the novel adds to the existing corpus of Indian emergency fiction, which lacked regional representation. Theorists Jenny Edkins, Bridgit Neuman, Alieda Assmann, Piotr Sztompka, Linda Shortt, and Astrid Erll are quoted to analyse the representation of cultural memory and trauma within the work.
“Taste of your Hometown”: Evoking Nostalgia through the Diner Space in Midnight Diner
Authors: Gupta Gunjan , Chattaraj Dishari
Published: January 2024

Food, Memory, Space, and Storytelling are intertwined. They are formed and reformed, produced and reproduced, and their nuances shape and are shaped by individual experiences. The paper looks at this curious intersection in a Japanese web series, The Midnight Diner, an adaptation of a Manga by Yaro Abe. A tiny not-so-popular restaurant in one of the back lanes in Tokyo, serves from midnight to 7 am, makes several important connections between food and memory as the customers come with specific food cravings and the Master (the owner-chef of the Diner) is happy to customize. The space of the diner acquires different meanings as do the dishes the customer relish. The taste, smell, texture, ingredients, and dishes evoke not just the memories of food and people from the past of these characters but also the place and the setting (where the character belongs to). Each episode introduces a new character with a new story and the past that they deal with while the food is prepared and consumed. The stories about people in this show and around the world might be based on individual experiences but the emotions are both individual and universal at the same time.
Imagining Indian Nation-State: Rereading Qurratulain Hyder’s Select Novels in Contemporary Scenario
Authors: Sagir Ali Sk
Published: January 2024

Given the contemporary hyper-nationalist ambiance in the Indian subcontinent, the reading of Qurratulain Hyder is significant, especially from the decolonial nationalist perspective of her selected translated Urdu novels. The paper examines the events and metaphors in both novels through a decolonial and transmodern lens. This approach entails establishing a relationship between history and human experience. Additionally, the paper suggests a more intricate connection between modernity and the manifold cultural aspects of the Nation-State while acknowledging the "essential ambivalence within the system of differences" as discussed by Laclau (1996, 38) as well as its impact on various disciplinary frameworks. It examines religion, culture, and ethnicity in pre-modern India as a more permeable affair with the proponent of an inclusive, tolerant Indian culture, where several nations, worldviews, and religions come together, reconcile, inter-marry, break up, and grow apart under the emergence of nationalist consciousness.

Designers like Sabyasachi Mukherjee, seem to project the bride’s access to bridal couture as a symbol of empowerment, emancipation and even nationalism. However, statistics would prove that Indian brides still carry the burden of cultural evils like dowry, domestic abuse, psychological pressures of marriage and child-bearing. Television shows like “Band, Baaja, Baraat,” lavish weddings of Bollywood actors like Anushka Sharma and Deepika Padukone have evoked new aspirational images in the imagination of the Indian middleclass. The present paper attempts to question the proliferation of wedding couture as a symbol of power and resistance to power. It aims to explore the route maps of capitalist desire and the seduction of women into this ambiguous role-play; are fashionable brides dressed in hot pants foolish consumers or artful minds who bend patriarchal structures even if for a short time? The paper will be premised on theories of popular culture, post-feminism, everyday feminism and cultural studies. It will enable us to address the reductive approach of contemporary capitalism towards complicated ideas of gender, class, caste, money, religion and region in Indian marriages. It will refer to ideas by Germaine Greer, Gloria Steinman, Stephanie Genz, Maitrayee Chaudhuri, Bharati Chibber, Santosh Desai to investigate into the empowering images of young brides as curated and exhibited by popular media.
The Daap Sung Man
Authors: Lin You
Published: January 2024

This essay is centered around my experiences with the daap sung man during my childhood: a food delivery service I depended on for routine and familiarity. My piece reflects on the loss of continuity and the overwhelming freedom of choice that came with the disappearance of the service that followed soon after as technology started developing and the service was eventually discontinued. The absence of the daap sung man followed my dependence on self-destructive habits for the familiarity of being a "prisoner" to routine. It also muses on the passing of time and how the daap sung man's era has now become a distant story of the past, but the comfort it once provided in a time where abuse was prevalent in my family would forever permeate my memories. *daap sung (or 搭餸), refers to door-to-door catering services, most commonly brought in tiffin carriers (gaa laam or 格篮 in Cantonese) as illustrated in this article. Please note that it is not a commonly used term in the Malaysian Chinese community but rather a unique term coined by my (the author’s) parents.
Gender Aspect of the Press Controversy over Leonid Andreev’s The Abyss
Authors:   St. Petersburg State University of Industrial Technology and Design, Boeva Galina N.
Published: January 2024

On the material of critical articles and polemical responses (“letters of the characters”) to Leonid Andreev’s The Abyss the gender optics of the contemporaries’ perception of this short story is investigated. It is proved that in the reception of the plot and the depicted situation, two main vectors manifested themselves: one is associated with the understanding of the biological nature of men as different from that of women, and the other — with the social roles of men and women, unequal and also very different from each other. The Abyss broadcasted notions of gender inequality, but for most critics and readers of the early 20th century it was perceived as natural. A single attempt to take a female position was demonstrated by critic V. Zhabotinsky, who published a “letter” on behalf of the heroine, which, however, also does not question the patriarchal gender norm, including female lack of agency. The “female look” at the The Abyss is tangible only in the position of Countess Tolstoy, understandable in the context of her family relationships and the works of her husband.

Authors: Trofimova Violetta S.
Published: January 2024

The article compares French originals and Russian translations of the novels by Vera Kryzhanovskaya, which were published in France in the second half of 1880s and then in Russia in the 1890s and 1900s under the name of John Wilmot, Earl of Rochester: An Episode of the Life of Tiberius, Benedictine Abbey, Pharaoh Mernephtah and Herculaneum, as well as provides an analysis of her novel The Marriage Fair. The intentions of the “developers” of this literary project and the place of these novels in the discussion on spiritism are clarified. The relationship of Rochester as the spirit author with the real Earl of Rochester, the English poet of the second half of the 17th century and his range of his interests, the themes and motives of his own writings, is revealed. The article traces the evolution of Kryzhanovskaya’s authorship from a medium recording “dictated” stories to the independent woman writer, whose talent was noted by critics. It is indicated that the novel The Marriage Fair, although its action takes place in Saint-Petersburg, has obvious connections with English literature due to the title referring to the Vanity Fair by W.M. Thackeray, and allusions to the works of Shakespeare in the text.
“Women’s Issue” in the Early Short Stories by Jean Rhys
Authors:   Southern Federal University, Matiunina Tatiana S.
Published: January 2024

The article examines the “women’s issue” in Jean Rhys’ early short stories, which fit into the artistic discourse of Modernist culture, addressed to women’s writing. We consider the genre of the short story itself as marginal: the formal features of the story, such as incompleteness, discontinuity, low eventfulness, entailing the ambiguity of the overall picture, are associated with ideological marginality of the genre, which underwent changes in the first half of the 20th century. Choosing as the central theme of her work the helplessness of the heroines, the cause of which is the socio-economic system, the Englishspeaking writer looks at Paris from the perspective of a number of female social types, which brings an element of novelty to the tradition of describing and perceiving this city. The focus of the writer’s significant debut stories, included in the collection The Left Bank and Other Stories (Illusion, Mannequin, In a café), are women who are aware of their own dependent position; this “marginality” alienates them from society, imposing on them full identification with this status. The pain point is the inability to express oneself, which manifests itself at different levels of the text’s organization.
