Necessity for up-scaling resource mobilization for implementation of competency-based curriculum at basics education cycle
Authors: Njati Ibuathu
Published: December 2022

School resources comprise necessary materials, both financial and human. A growth towards evidence-based allocation and utilization of school resources is affected by inadequate capacity of the school managers, ministry of education, parents and non-governmental organizations. Inadequate teaching and learning resources limit individual schools' strength to make judicial decisions on equitable trade-offs in education resource demand, supply and consumption. This work sought to identify the locally available resources for utility in competency-based- curriculum implementation, improve the available resources for enhancing teaching and learning, and analyze factors militating against effective mobilization and utilization of resources at the basic education level. Online surveys were used in collecting secondary data. Journals, internet, textbooks and research reports were sampled for data gathering through a stratified sampling technique. The findings showed that the rural-urban migration factors significantly affect trained teachers from arid areas by moving away from their local homes to towns in search of jobs. When learners fail to interact adequately with qualified teachers, the consequences are dire, resulting in learners' poor acquisition of competencies. It was ascertained that more than 70% of the teachers teaching at Kakuma Refugee Camp were not sensitive to learners' plights. This was due to their weak and inadequate education and training background coupled with poor teaching and learning resources. 60% of the tutors at Kakuma Refugee Camp were untrained in pedagogical and andragogical skills necessary for giving instructions in a competency-based curriculum. It was established that the cost of needed materials and training for improving CBC implementation was expensive. Therefore, action research could explore avenues for economies of scale by sharing materials and coordinating purchases between and among neighborhood schools. This is because the critical mass of activities under CBC such as arts, music and sports all create new opportunities for supply chains that present avenues for partnering with organizations that support basic education activities that has remained unexploited. In conclusion, the national and county government's department of pre-primary and basic education level should generate guidance on the use of alternative and low-cost materials for teaching to alleviate the persistent shortages of teaching resources.

Authors: Kainyu Fridah , Mwadulo Mary
Published: December 2022

Corona virus (COVID-19) is a worldwide pandemic that was first reported in Wuhan, China 2019.The virus claimed lives and negatively changed the mobility patterns of humans. As a measure to control the spread of the virus, Digital Contact Tracing Technologies (DCTTs) were employed to contain the virus. The (DCTTs) are used to track and notify users digitally about their interactions with infected individuals and help strengthen health service systems. The most widely used Digital Contact Tracing Technologies include those that use Global Positioning, Bluetooth, Quick Response (QR) Codes and Wireless Fidelity (Wi-Fi). These technologies depend on monitoring symptoms, mobility of a person, location and proximity of individuals. This paper reviews literature by analyzing the Digital Contact Tracing Technologies (DCTTs) employed for COVID-19 through a desk study. The review highlights the advantages and disadvantages of using these technologies, with an aim of recommending ways in which the technologies can be used to attain maximum benefit.

Published: December 2022

Practical activities are extremely important in teaching sciences as they aid the students in comprehending scientific concepts through participatory learning. However, most Kenyan public schools lack well equipped laboratories. Additionally, the diminishing resources resulting from post-COVID effects offer no beam of hope. Disruption from COVID also poses critical challenges of handling physical devices in times of such pandemics. To address this, the Integration of Virtual Labs to Enhance STEM Education for Girls (IVLESTEG) project was conceptualized to enhance girl’s access to Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematic (STEM) subjects in Kenyan secondary schools. The aim of this research study was to critically appraise the current technology models in relation  to girls’ access to STEM education with the overall objective of exploring the potential of e-learning in promoting participation of female students in STEM subjects in Kenya.  Upon development and implementation of learning in the V-labs, quasi experiments were conducted to determine the effectiveness of use of V-Labs in enhancing the participation of female students in STEM disciplines in secondary schools. Schools were  randomly chosen and classified as either experimental or control sites. This method allowed  for comparison of performance in STEM subjects of the female learners who were exposed to learning in the V-labs and those not. The findings will contribute to the development  of a framework for  appraising models for ICT use in STEM teaching and learning processes for girls that can inform practice, policy and research.
Role of information professionals in alleviating student plagiarism for academic integrity in Kenyan universities:
Authors: Diki Paul Mutethia , Gibendi Ruth
Published: December 2022

Academic integrity is the commitment and demonstration of honest and moral behavior in an academic setting. This is most relevant at the university level as it relates to providing credit to other people when using their ideas. In simplest terms, it requires acknowledging the contribution of other people. Plagiarism is the act of taking someones else’s work and passing them off as your own. Student plagiarism is a known problem facing universities around the world. Plagiarism is perceived to be a growing problem and universities are being required to devote increasing time and resources to combating it. This fraud behaviour of students in universities is great concern today. As result of explosion of plagiarism among university students, many universities in developed countries have been using technologies to combating deceitful plagiarism behaviour of students. As information literacy experts, information professionals are especially suited to take the lead in educating students about plagiarism and promoting academic integrity. University Librarians working in Kenyan universities can develop information literacy programs to address the issue of student plagiarism. Through combining librarians knowledge of research and information literacy with subject heading, and integrating these skills into the curriculum, students will feel more empowered and competent in their academic assignments. This article will review different types of plagiarism practiced by Kenyan university students and how it affects the integrity of their academic work and how this norm can be alleviated. This study aims to conduct a review of literature on the role of information professionals in alleviating plagiarism in universities in Kenya with a view of suggesting possible solutions to the named problem.

Published: December 2022

ABSTRACT
Introduction: Pharmaceutical Waste Management (PWM) has emerged as a challenging issue, with both health and environmental negative impacts. The study assessed the common methods of pharmaceutical waste management disposal in Nkubu town among community pharmacies and households in the sanitation service chain.
   Problemstatement: Increasing disease incidence and prevalence necessitate healthcare practitioners to prescribe and dispense different medications. According to World Health Organization (WHO2010), more than half of all medications are inappropriately prescribed and sold, which causes unnecessary storage in community pharmacies (CPs) and households creating environmental threats that jeopardize efficiency of sanitation service chain.
Methods: The study area was Nkubu town, where data was collected by use of structured questionnaires.  size was 19 community pharmacies and 380 households. Descriptive statistics were used for data analysis. Results are presented in tables.
 Results: The study showed that 23.9% (n=91) of the households use pit latrines while 73.5% (n=14) of the community pharmacies use burning as the common methods of pharmaceutical waste disposal.
Conclusion: The common method of pharmaceutical waste disposal being practiced in community pharmacies was burning while for households was emptying in the pit latrine. Disposal of unwanted pharmaceutical products through unsafe methods along the sanitation chain was prevalent among the respondents.
Recommendation: There is need to create public awareness and establish educational programs regarding management and handling of unwanted pharmaceutical wastes among community pharmacies and households in Nkubu town.

Published: December 2022

With the increased use of whole slide scanner technology, large numbers of tissue slides are being scanned and archived digitally. While digital pathology has substantial implications in telepathology, second opinions and education, there are huge research opportunities in this new type of digital data. Accessibility to large digital repositories of tissue slides is a huge educational resource for medical students and pathology residents. In addition to education of medical students, residents and clinical adoption, digital pathology has been transformative for computational imaging research. Many universities also do not have active pathology laboratories which are necessary in providing a steady flow of real life cases for medical training and research. Therefore, this project aimed at designing and validating a digital medical laboratory educational platform where learners could access the virtual slides from their individual student portals irrespective of their location when they logged in. With the use of a digital slide scanner, physical slides from the manual laboratory repository were scanned and stored in the cloud in a digital format. The two platforms of both institutions were integrated such that the students’ online learning portal was in sync with the Pathology Network’s digital repository. Once the integration was successful, the students were able to access and interact with the learning materials and virtual slides for Cytology and Cytological Stains which was the scheduled topic for teaching and learning.
The study recruited thirty five students from Meru University of Science and Technology pursuing undergraduate studies in Medical Microbiology. Majority of the students (33 out of 35; 94.3%) indicated that digital pathology enhanced their understanding of the topic of study due to availability of virtual slides with ease and at any time of day. All students (35 out of 35; 100%) felt that digital pathology teaching was beneficial for Medical Microbiology students and expressed hope in continued learning using digital pathology to supplement face-to-face lectures. The study proved concept that digital pathology education is viable in medical training, particularly, for pathology and medical laboratory. There is need for additional work to include more areas in the field of laboratory medicine and development of virtual learning content. Such local digital slide repository can promote use of digital pathology in Kenya and the region for teaching and learning. Digital pathology together with virtual microscopy can progressively improve medical education and training of pathology and laboratory medicine.

Published: December 2022

Due to challenges of COVID -19 pandemic, network is widely used and more networkthreats are evolving, therefore, there is a need to improve network tools in order tocontrol threats. Stateful firewall is a network tool that build up packet filters by keepingrecord of packet passing through the network in a state table, so that when a newpacket arrives, the stateful firewall filtering mechanism first checks to determine whetherthe information is similar to the one in state table, in order to allow or blocked a packet.Although several stateful firewall models have been developed to filter network packets,there is no model that is able to filter the entire parts of a network packet which includethe header, trailer and payloads. In the stateful firewall models developed, mixedresearch methodology have been used. The models are developed in pythonprogramming language; an experimental research design is used, string matching andpattern matching algorithms are used in developing the models.
Determinants of students learning competencies in agriculture through hands-on experiences
Authors: Njati Ibuathu , Lideke Oliver
Published: December 2022

The overall goal of this study was to assess the implementation of curricula for agricultural courses aimed at equipping students with the requisite emerging competencies that should make them self-reliant after training. Most technical and vocational colleges lack infrastructure such as agricultural laboratories, agricultural tools, equipment and farms for teaching the courses. In Kenya, there is currently no data indicating whether or not students study agricultural courses due to personal interest and conviction or because it was the only option available. The study sought to establish: ways in which teaching methodologies used by teachers’ impact the practical competencies gained by learners through hands on experiences, and find out the perceptions of learners towards pursuing further studies and activities in agricultural disciplines. The study observed 89% of those who had two practical lessons in a term indicated that they can practice agriculture on their own. It is concluded that, most teachers engage resource persons in their teaching. Majority of the teachers do not also embark on field trips with their students to places where students can have a real experience of certain concepts or materials that cannot be made available in their school environment for studies. More studies should be carried to explore ways of infusing value based learning by employing modern online techniques that enhance learners’ competencies in their careers.

Published: December 2022

Wastewater pollution in mining areas often occurs and becomes a problem in the surrounding groundwater aquifer system. One of the efforts to determine the distribution of wastewater pollution is to calculate the discharge and volume of wastewater. In this study, an open channel in the form of a ditch or commonly referred to as a drainage system is carried out to determine the total water discharge entering the research location, design the dimensions of the sump and design the optimal cross-sectional dimensions of the ditch to overcome the discharge of water that comes out and pollutes the environment. The method used is to make an open channel in the form of a trapezoid to be used around the andesite rock mining site which then drains the mine water to the setlingpond. Efforts to drain the water that has entered the main sump (mine dewatering system) are carried out by making wells, after which the waste water is channeled into the settling pond using a pump. From the results of the study, information was obtained that the total water discharge entering the sump was 235,175 m so that the volume of the sump made was 300 m with dimensions of top area: 20m x 10m, bottom area: 10m x 10m, with a depth of 2m for total water discharge for ditches. 0.0237 m so that the volume of the trench made is 0.228 m.

Published: December 2022

The presence of water in mining activities is common, especially in tropical areas that have high rainfall, such as the research location at PT ANTAM Maluku Utara at the Moronopo Site. While the sump maintenance needs to be considered so that the sump can accommodate the incoming discharge. The purpose of this research is to calculate the total discharge entering the mine and to design the dimensions of the sump according to the incoming water discharge. The research method used is the Gumbel method starting from the analysis of rainfall data at the research location starting in 2004-2013 and then continuing with 2019-2020 data, the planned rainfall value is 96.56 mm/day, rainfall intensity is 15.63 mm/day hours with a rain return period of 25 years and a hydrological risk of 18.46 % and the total inflow of mine water is 17,556 m3/hour. After calculating the sump capacity in the Danis 2 area, it still has not accommodated the incoming discharge with the remaining unaccommodated discharge of 2,319.1 m3/hour.

Published: December 2022

Mountainous areas often have a lot of natural wealth. The existence of geological appearances in the form of outcrops which are products of intrusion and alteration, indicates that the Pacitan area is a mineralized zone. In this study, geophysical measurements were carried out using the Induced Polarization (IP) method in the area where mineralization was suspected. The polarization induction method is expected to prove the presence of a mineralized zone in the Pacitan area. From the research results, line 1, line 4, line 5, line 6 and line 7 are areas with high chargeability values. So it can be proven that the area with high resistivity and high chargeability is an area with mineralization. Judging from the geological conditions on the surface, there are also outcrops which show that there is an intrusion and the result of alteration. So it can be concluded that the area has a fairly high mineralization. In measuring the correlation between magnetic anomalies and IP, the results are very supportive of each other that the area is a mineralized area, if we look at the resistivity, and chargebility.

Published: December 2022

Este artigo, com assumido veio exploratório, tem como objeto a motivação ao voto nas eleições presidenciais brasileiras em 2022. Orientado pela hipótese de que a democracia competitiva brasileira já se encontra devidamente rotinizada (ou em vias de rotinização), lança-se o questionamento se o elemento prevalecente ao ato de votar do atual e amplo eleitorado brasileiro (cerca de 156 milhões de pessoas habilitadas) responde antes a fatores econômicos, como o cálculo da simples relação custo/benefício, ou a questões de cunho sociológico, como a submissão a valores/ideologia. Com as prudências que a responsabilidade acadêmica requer e tendo por fundamento dados da realidade apresentados por pesquisas recentes, projetar-se-ão cenários respeitantes àquelas formulações, mas sem prejuízo a interpretações conciliatórias.
Problemática del tercer momento estructural del cuidado: estar-junto y caída
Authors: Ivanoff Sabogal Christian
Published: December 2022

El elemento constitutivo del tercer momento estructural del cuidado en Ser y Tiempo genera problemas interpretativos. A partir de tres argumentos desarrollados sistemáticamente se muestra la imposibilidad temática de instalar la caída en el mencionado tercer momento y la plausibilidad de comprenderlo como el estar-junto formal, al cual le conviene con igualdad de derecho tanto una modalidad propia como una impropia. La conclusión a la que se llega es que la caída no integra constitutivamente el cuidado ontológico, sino que más bien éste en sus tres momentos unitarios posibilita estructuralmente y explica motivacionalmente el origen de la caída.
Aproximación crítica al pensamiento filosófico de Joaquín Xirau. El amor como centro de la vitalidad humana
Authors: Pérez Moya Mario Agustín
Published: December 2022

El presente artículo ofrece una aproximación a las líneas fundamentales de la fenomenología de la conciencia amorosa de Joaquín Xirau. El objetivo es mostrar cómo el amor puede erigirse en el fundamento ontológico, axiológico y gnoseológico de la realidad y, por tanto, en la clave de bóveda del arco sujeto-objeto de la conciencia. Si el despliegue de la Modernidad ha conducido la existencia del hombre al nihilismo, la conciencia amorosa se postula como una vía razonable de salvación. Al ser restituida la realidad del mundo en su doble dimensión, ontológica y axiológica, puede recobrarse una experiencia de sentido plenaria y orgánica de aquella.
Queer and Black Martyrdom in Alan Hollinghurst and Paul Mendez
Authors: Yebra José M.
Published: December 2022

Both Alan Hollinghurst and Paul Mendez address the vulnerability of dissident, non-normative masculinities. With this purpose, I will first revise the narratives of martyrdom as an iconography (and trope) which relies on but exceeds its religious origins to understand gay and black identity representation in these writers. There are, however, some differences in their treatment of martyrdom. Hollinghurst’s career spans more than three decades and, hence, his novels feature different faces of martyrdom although all the characters/narrators do it from a white perspective. By contrast, Mendez’s Rainbow Milk revisits martyrdom as a contested narrative from the decolonized and black/queer viewpoint of the protagonist.
Morpho-syntactic Alternations of Old English Verbs of Inaction
Authors: Ojanguren López Ana Elvira
Published: December 2022

The aim of this article is to describe the morpho-syntactic alternations of Old English verbs of inaction. The method includes the analysis of the syntactic constructions in which verbs of inaction are found and of the alternations themselves, which are described as to argumenthood, morphological case, prepositional government and structural complexity. Two types of alternation are identified on the basis of the affected argument. The dative alternation and the reflexive alternation involve both the first and the second argument, whereas the nominalisation alternation and the genitive alternation are restricted to the second argument. The main conclusions are that the alternations found with inaction verbs consist of two alternants that show different degrees of semantic and syntactic integration, and that the consistent distribution of alternations justifies the classification of the set of classes of inaction proposed in this article.
“Junk You Can't Abandon”: Hoarding and Waste in Andrew Lam and Karen Tei Yamashita
Authors: Simal-González Begoña
Published: December 2022

In the last decades a concern with waste has started to “surface” not just in the economic and social sciences, but also in the humanities, where it has lately clustered around Waste Studies and Waste Theory. This critical approach allows us to grapple with the consequences of our globalized economy of waste for both the planet and human beings. Although Waste Theory can be applied to virtually any literary tradition, I would argue that Asian American literature, which has been read along the lines of the waste/no-waste dialectics since Sau-ling Wong developed her Necessity/Extravagance thesis in 1993, proves particularly amenable to this methodology. In order to illustrate the multiple ways in which Waste Theory can productively interbreed with Wong’s dichotomy, I will explore the dynamics of hoarding and waste in Andrew Lam’s Perfume Dreams and Karen Tei Yamashita’s Sansei and Sensibility.
Sustained Content Language Teaching: Insights from an ESL and EFL course
Authors: Reynolds Barry Lee , Shieh Jin-Jy , Ding Chen , Ha Xuan Van
Published: December 2022

Instructional settings (English as a second language (ESL) and English as a foreign language (EFL)) may provide different opportunities for learners’ meaningful language use. This qualitative study was designed to shed light on this issue. The data included multiple sources collected from a sustained content gastronomy language course taught in an American ESL and a Taiwanese EFL context. Findings revealed that various factors (e.g., themes, environment, and learners) contributed to learners from both contexts meeting course goals. The findings further indicate that it is not the ESL/EFL context but instead using a sustained content language teaching approach that incorporates theme-based instruction and dynamic units that ensures learners are provided opportunities for meaningful and purposeful language use.

Los derechos de la naturaleza y la ciudadanía: el caso del Mar Menor
Authors: Vicente Giménez Teresa , Salazar Ortuño Eduardo
Published: December 2022

The advance of environmental degradation around the world is evident year after year in reports on Climate Change and Ecosystem Health. The environmental laws that have been in force around the world for the past 40 years have failed to halt the loss of biodiversity and global warming. In the Western paradigm, Nature has been conceived as an object for human benefit and this misconception has led us to the current collapse. It is time for the change we need, in the sense of recognizing that human beings are part of Nature and have an interdependent relationship with it. This is the new paradigm of ecological Justice, which is embodied in a new generation of subjective rights: the rights of nature. A worldwide movement promotes the rights of nature on all continents and is recognized by the United Nations "Harmony with Nature" Program. This movement is led in Europe by the Popular Legislative Initiative to recognize the Mar Menor and its basin with legal personality and its own rights.

El avance de la degradación ambiental en todo el mundo se manifiesta año tras año en los informes sobre cambio climático y salud de los ecosistemas. Las leyes medioambientales vigentes desde hace 40 años en todo el mundo no han logrado frenar la pérdida de biodiversidad ni el calentamiento global. En el paradigma occidental, la Naturaleza ha sido concebida como un objeto para el beneficio humano y esta concepción errónea nos han conducido al colapso actual. Es el momento para el cambio que necesitamos, en el sentido de reconocer que el ser humano forma parte de la Naturaleza y tiene una relación de interdependencia con ella. Este es el nuevo paradigma de la Justicia ecológica, que se concreta en una nueva generación de derechos subjetivos: los derechos de la naturaleza. Un movimiento mundial promueve los derechos de la naturaleza en todos los continentes y es reconocido por el Programa de Naciones Unidas «Armonía con la Naturaleza». Este movimiento es encabezado en Europa por la Iniciativa Legislativa Popular para dotar de personalidad jurídica y derechos propios al Mar Menor y su cuenca.
Assessment and Learning in Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) Classrooms: Approaches and Conceptualisations
Authors: Ciel Hu Hengzhi
Published: December 2022

It is not surprising that as we come upon the thirtieth anniversary of the birth of Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL), this young pedagogical approach is still a complicated phenomenon, with a wide variety of issues in every aspect of education remaining to be addressed. CLIL assessment is one of them. Although over a decade has passed since Coyle et al. (2010) necessitated an explicit understanding of the assessment process in CLIL, “the variety and depth of issues that remain on the CLIL agenda suggest more research on CLIL assessment is indeed needed before future research can offer clear and workable solutions for both teachers and students” (De Angelis, 2021, p. 32). To this end, the book entitled Assessment and Learning in Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) Classrooms: Approaches and Conceptualisations is a timely response, both in scope and usefulness. It is a successful compilation of papers, which link various theoretical perspectives with different research paradigms and feature the discussion of classroom assessment aimed at improving the quality standard of education. The value of this volume is undeniable, and both researchers and educators can benefit from it, with a dialectical relationship established between research and classroom practices.
A multidimensional analysis of two registers of English for Navy submariners
Authors: Noguera Díaz Yolanda
Published: December 2022

This research explores the differences and similarities found in two corpora representative of two registers of relevance for Navy submariners in the Spanish Navy Submarine Warfare School. It shows cases in a range of analyses based on multi-dimensional analysis that can inform professional language teaching in such contexts. It is argued that linguistic variation among the texts affords the identification of both converging and diverging patterns of variation across dimensions of use.

Construcción de un índice de sostenibilidad para las ganaderías de bovino lechero en Cantabria
Authors: Vázquez -González Ibán , García-Suárez Elena , Ruiz-Escudero Francisca , Vilela-Ferreira Gabriel Caymmi , García-Arias Ana Isabel
Published: December 2022

Este trabajo es una propuesta metodológica de construcción de índices de sostenibilidad para las ganaderías de bovino de leche en Cantabria. Mediante análisis factoriales de componentes principales, se obtienen 12 indicadores, 4 por cada dimensión (económica, ambiental y social), que permiten crear tres índices sintéticos de sostenibilidad y uno global. Las dimensiones que alcanzan mayores puntuaciones son la ambiental y la social en detrimento de la económica. Además, se observa una relación directa entre la sostenibilidad global y el tamaño productivo que, no se detecta para la dimensión ambiental, pero si en la social y económica.
Mujeres en transición, mujeres de la Transición. La caída de Madrid, de Rafael Chirbes
Authors: Serber Daniela Cecilia
Published: December 2022

En La caída de Madrid (2000), Rafael Chirbes se posiciona en la víspera de la muerte de Francisco Franco, en la ciudad capital, como punto de observación en el que el pasado, el presente y el futuro convergen. En ese cronotopo, confluyen las experiencias y las expectativas de una amplia galería de personajes, que dará cuenta del estado de incertidumbre de una sociedad que es (más o menos) consciente del fin de una época. En este artículo, abordaremos ese momento umbral, que se condensa en el 19 de noviembre de 1975, a partir del análisis de dos figuras femeninas, que suman una interesante arista a su representación.
Mulheres no romance brasileiro de 1930: aporias do espaço público
Authors: Rufinoni Simone Rossinetti
Published: December 2022

El estudio se detiene en seis novelas brasileñas da década de 1930: Parque Industrial (1930), de Patrícia Galvão; Os Corumbas (1933) e Rua do siriri (1937), de Amando Fontes; Caminho de pedras (1935), de Rachel de Queiroz; A estrela sobe (1937), de Marques Rebelo e Lapa (1936), de Luís Martins – a partir de la presencia de la figuración de la mujer en la vida pública. El recorrido que parte de las promesas de emancipación culmina en la prostitución aprehende el sentido colectivo de las trayectorias individuales, signo de la inoperancia del estatuto del sujeto burgués mujer entre las disposiciones de la casa y de la calle.
Paz-Andrade e o desenho de uma cartografia cultural e linguística brasileira na Galiza
Authors: Gil Condé Valéria
Published: December 2022

Valentín Paz-Andrade, intelectual gallego, fue un estudioso y propagador de la cultura literaria brasileira en Galicia. La consolidación del vínculo entre las culturas brasileira y gallega surgió de su discurso para la entrada como miembro de la Real Academia Galega titulado “A galecidade na obra de Guimarães Rosa” (1978). En esta obra, el autor elabora una tesis de ascendencia gallego-miñota al léxico rosiano y lo inscribe en la matriz galego-portuguesa. Tenemos noticias de la génesis de la preparación de su discurso y de su posterior traducción al portugués brasileiro realizada por Paulo Rónai, a través del epistolario, compuesto por 52 cartas (1974 a 1988), entre Paulo Rónai y Paz-Andrade (disponibles en http://consellodaculturagalega.gal). Teniendo en cuenta los principios teóricos y críticos de los “archivos de la creación”, término de la Crítica Genética, este estudio pretende analizar la correspondencia activa de Paulo Rónai para comprender la génesis y las etapas de elaboración de la tesis de Paz-Andrade.
Intercambios poéticos Brasil-España: Manuel Bandeira y la traducción de un poema de Rafael Alberti
Authors: Moreyra Carvalho Mayra
Published: December 2022

El artículo se dedica a las traducciones del poeta brasileño Manuel Bandeira para dos poemas de Rafael Alberti, incluidas en Poemas traduzidos a partir de 1948, cuando el español vivía exiliado en Argentina. Buscando reconstituir los vínculos entre Alberti y Bandeira, se describe el contexto de aparición de las traducciones, se establecen aproximaciones entre sus poéticas, y se examinan las especificidades de una de las traducciones. De este modo, se espera mapear y recuperar diálogos entre las poesías brasileña y española, considerando que la reconstrucción de intercambios entre artistas de distintas tradiciones permite reflexionar sobre la conformación de la historiografía literaria.
Jardines y paisajes petrificados en 2666 de Roberto Bolaño
Authors: Schoennenbeck Grohnert Sebastián
Published: December 2022

En la novela 2666, la mayoría de los jardines suelen estar representados como ruinas degradadas. Negando aquella matriz cultural según la cual el jardín es una copia del Paraíso Terrenal, los jardines ubicados en la ciudad de Santa Teresa establecen una relación metonímica con el desierto. En Europa, en cambio, los jardines recuperan su verdor y aparecen signados con rasgos positivos. El artículo propone que el primer grupo de jardines constituyen una alegoría de una historia no progresiva (Benjamin), mientras que los otros jardines logran configurarse como paisaje cuya posible imagen permite una salida o desterritorialización del sujeto alienado (Agamben).

Optimismo cruel y apetito obsesivo en las novelas de Leïla Slimani
Authors: Robson Kathryn
Published: December 2022

Este artículo explora los apetitos obsesivos en Chanson Douce, de Leïla Slimani, traducida al inglés en el Reino Unido con el título Lullaby y en Estados Unidos como The Perfect Nanny, y Dans le jardin de l'ogre, traducida como Adèle. Me baso en las ideas de Lauren Berlant sobre las conexiones entre la alimentación obsesiva y la sexualidad obsesiva en Cruel Optimism, destacando cómo en la obra de Slimani, los trastornos alimentarios y las compulsiones sexuales constituyen representaciones repetidas de vínculos fallidos y son desencadenados por una forma de trauma sistémico (que Berlant denomina "ordinariez en crisis") enraizado en la alienación sociocultural. La búsqueda desesperada de intimidad en Chanson douce y de antiintimidad en Dans le jardin de l'ogre conduce a la autodestrucción, representada en la inanición, en relaciones sexuales perjudiciales y, en última instancia, en el asesinato. En mi opinión, el lector queda atrapado en las repeticiones destructivas y en el deseo de ir más allá de ellas hacia algún tipo de final satisfactorio, que en estos textos implica el silenciamiento brutal de los deseos y la agencia femeninos (inscritos en las narraciones desde el principio). La lectura se muestra así ligada a la violencia del optimismo cruel y a sus apetitos obsesivos.
Trastornos de la conducta alimentaria como herramientas de supervivencia en Hambre: Memorias de mi cuerpo de Roxane Gay
Authors: Medina López Sofía Concepción
Published: December 2022

Las mujeres históricamente han estado sujetas a discursos patriarcales dominantes que han contribuido a que se ejerza poder, violencia y control sobre sus cuerpos. Este trabajo pretende mostrar, a través del análisis de la memoria autobiográfica Hambre: Memorias de mi cuerpo de Roxane Gay, cómo la comida y los trastornos de alimentación simbolizan una herramienta de supervivencia contra la hegemonía cultural ya que posibilitan la creación de un lenguaje simbólico mediante el cual las mujeres pueden expresar su repulsa hacia un sistema opresor y a su vez exteriorizar la vivencia de experiencias traumáticas. Este trabajo presenta los trastornos de alimentación como un instrumento de rebelión, protesta y resistencia con el que las mujeres pueden hacer frente a las discriminaciones y opresiones presentes en el sistema patriarcal, pero a la vez insta en la importancia de encontrar un lenguaje propio alternativo alejado de los trastornos de alimentación ya que conllevan consecuencias físicas y emocionales muy graves.
