VERSIFICACIÓN Y TEATRALIDAD EN EL PÚBLICO DE FEDERICO GARCÍA LORCA. LA CANCIÓN DEL PASTOR BOBO
Authors: UTRERA TORREMOCHA María Victoria
Published: January 2025

El cuadro del Pastor Bobo cumple en El público una función coral y metadramática que está íntimamente relacionada con el empleo del verso y de la rima. Estos elementos rítmicos, en contraste con el uso generalizado de la prosa, han de ser considerados como signos dramáticos nucleares en el drama, ya que tienen un papel esencial en la teatralización del personaje y en su carácter metadramático, al tiempo que están al servicio de la creación de una red metafórica que se corresponde, semánticamente, con el problema de la identidad y sus metamorfosis y, estructuralmente, con la profusión de niveles dramáticos que ejemplifican la fragmentación del sujeto.
Palabras clave: Canción del Pastor Bobo. El público. García Lorca. Teatralidad. Versificación. Rima.
Abstract: The Silly Shepherd scene in El público has a choral and metadramatic function closely related to the use of verse and rhyme. In contrast to the generalized use of prose in the play, these rhythmic elements must be considered as nuclear dramatic signs, since they have an essential role in the theatricalization of the character and in its metadramatic condition. At the same time, they support the creation of a metaphorical network, semantically and structurally corresponding to the problem of identity and its metamorphoses and to the variety of dramatic levels which exemplifies the fragmented self.
Keywords: Silly Shepherd’s song. El público. García Lorca. Theatricality. Versification. Rhyme.
DEL NEORRURALISMO A LAS LITERATURAS DE LA RURALIDAD. DEBATE TERMINOLÓGICO Y PROPUESTA DE CATEGORIZACIÓN SOBRE UNA TENDENCIA EN AUGE
Authors: MOLINA GIL Raúl
Published: January 2025

El campo literario español contemporáneo ha asistido al auge de una tendencia que ha recibido el nombre de neorruralismo. Aunque un estudio en profundidad del fenómeno nos muestra la existencia de un heterogéneo conjunto de obras que manifiestan diferentes concepciones de lo rural, desde la crítica se ha utilizado el referido marbete, cuyo origen se remonta a los estudios sociológicos franceses y estadounidenses de los años sesenta y setenta y que, en España, fue tomado directamente de reseñas y textos de la prensa periodística. Tras un análisis inicial sobre los pormenores del etiquetado como proceso mercantilizador, planteamos la problematización del término, muy restrictivos por motivos textuales y extratextuales, y proponemos el uso de del concepto literaturas de la ruralidad, que permite acoger un cada vez más numeroso volumen de textos. Bajo este nuevo abrigo teórico, ofrecemos un intento de categorización de las mismas a partir de varios acercamientos críticos.
Palabras clave: Neorruralismo. Literaturas de la ruralidad. Etiquetado. Terminología. Industria editorial.
Abstract: The contemporary Spanish literary field has witnessed the rise of a narrative trend that has been called neoruralism, whose main characteristic is the location of fictions in rural areas. Although an in-depth study of the phenomenon shows us the existence of a heterogeneous set of works that express different conceptions of the rural, critics have used the aforementioned label, whose origin dates back to French and American sociological studies of the sixties. and seventy and that was taken directly from the reviews and articles of the journalistic press. In this article, and after an initial analysis of the details of labeling as a commodifying process, we consider the problematization of the term, which is very restrictive for textual and extratextual reasons, and we propose the use of the concept of rural literature, which allows us to embrace each increasingly numerous volumes of texts. Finally, we propose a categorization of them based on several critical approaches.

EL DISCURSO DE LAS SERIES DE TV DE LA TRANSICIÓN ESPAÑOLA Y LA PICARESCA COMO GÉNERO TRANSVERSAL. EL PÍCARO (FERNÁN GÓMEZ, 1974) Y JUNCAL (DE ARMIÑÁN, 1989)
Authors: GUTIÉRREZ Julia Sabina
Published: January 2025

En este artículo se analizan dos series que alcanzaron su máxima audiencia en el último tercio del siglo veinte en la Radiotelevisión pública española RTVE y que recuperaban las tradiciones literarias y teatrales del Siglo de Oro: El pícaro y Juncal, dos obras con interacciones entre la literatura, el teatro y la TV. En este caso, nos interesa observar cómo el discurso teatral y literario se integra en el discurso televisivo. En lo que respecta al análisis de El pícaro y Juncal nos hemos centrado especialmente en el aspecto lingüístico, con sus variedades de discurso monologado, dialogado, etc. No obstante, nos hemos extendido al área translingüística, que es la zona del discurso de las series televisivas en las que el lenguaje verbal se completa con la imagen para expresar la gestualidad, las expresiones faciales, la postura corporal, los elementos proxémicos, kinésicos y lograr de esa forma el ensamblaje de los materiales.
Palabras clave: Discurso. Televisión. Series. El pícaro. Juncal.
Abstract: This article analyzes two TV series that achieved their peak viewership in the last third of the 20th Century on RTVE, the Spanish public broadcaster, which drew from the literary and theatrical traditions of the Golden Age: El pícaro and Juncal. These two series involve interactions between literature, theater, and TV. It will be argued that the theatrical and literary discourse is integrated in the television discourse. Regarding the analysis of El pícaro and Juncal, attention will be paid to the linguistic aspects, including various forms of discourse such as monologues, dialogues, etc. The article will also address the translinguistic area, where verbal language is complemented in TV series by images to express gestural, facial expressions, body posture, proxemic, kinesic elements, and therefore achieve the integration of materials.

TEATRO Y ¿CENSURA? LA LITERATURA DRAMÁTICA DE LENGUA ALEMANA EN LA ESTAFETA LITERARIA (1957-1962)
Authors: SERRANO BERTOS Elena
Published: January 2025

El presente trabajo estudia la labor de divulgación del teatro en lengua alemana que ejerció la célebre revista madrileña La Estafeta Literaria en su tercera etapa (1957-1962), durante la cual la presencia de la literatura dramática procedente de los países germanófonos fue inexistente en el sector editorial. Por consiguiente, las revistas literarias y la prensa —y también las representaciones de las obras que fueron llevadas a escena— resultaron el único medio de difusión —si bien efímero, en el caso de las escenificaciones— de dichas obras teatrales durante la época. El análisis de los contenidos de La Estafeta Literaria resultará interesante para estudiar el estado de la recepción de la cultura alemana en general y del teatro en particular en España, así como la influencia que pudieron tener en la mencionada recepción los diversos acontecimientos históricos y la actividad financiadora de la revista por parte del régimen.
Palabras clave: Teatro alemán. Franquismo. Prensa. La Estafeta Literaria. Recepción.
Abstract: This paper studies the dissemination of German-language theatre by the famous Madrid magazine La Estafeta Literaria during its third stage (1957-1962), in which the presence of dramatic literature from German-speaking countries was non-existent in the publishing sector. Consequently, literary magazines and the press —and, in the case of the plays that were staged, also their performances, albeit ephemeral— were the only means of disseminating German theatre during this period. The analysis of the contents of La Estafeta Literaria will be of interest when it comes to observing the state of the reception of German culture in general and theatre in particular in Spain, as well as the influence that both historical events and the financing of the magazine by the regime may have had on the aforementioned reception.

TEATRO INFANTIL RUMANO. TRADUCCIÓN INTERSEMIÓTICA PARA PÚBLICOS MIXTOS
Authors: ILIESCU GHEORGHIU Catalina
Published: January 2025

Este trabajo aborda el género teatral infantil (literario y escénico) desde una perspectiva intercultural. La metodología investigadora incluye un análisis de las transformaciones sufridas por el cuento popular rumano “Punguţa cu doi bani” (“El saquito con dos monedas”) de Ion Creangă en su plasmación teatral traducida al español “¿Dónde está mi saquito?”, que giró por diferentes ciudades españolas en la pasada década. Estas transformaciones son inherentes al proceso (jakobsoniano) de traducción intersemiótica (escénica) e intralingüística, si bien presentan particularidades dictadas por el tipo de público, en este caso, doblemente mixto, formado por público tanto infantil como adulto y por niños/as tanto de la sociedad receptora como rumana (segunda generación diaspórica). El análisis de la traducción intersemiótica e intralingüística proporcionará datos sobre la escritura y reescritura infantil, mientras que la observación de la fase de recepción revelará actitudes hacia la literatura infantil que pueden ser indicativas de la comunicación (diaspórica) intergeneracional.
Palabras clave: Traducción intersemiótica. Literatura infantil. Diáspora rumana. Reescritura Teatral. Interculturalidad. Ion Creangă.
Abstract: This paper approaches children’s theatrical genre (literary and scenic) from an intercultural perspective. The research methodology includes an analysis of the transformations undergone by the Romanian popular tale “Punguţa cu doi bani” (“The two-coin purse”) by Ion Creangă in its theatrical version translated into Spanish “¿Dónde está mi saquito?”, which toured round several Spanish cities in the past decade. These transformations are inherent to the (jakobsonian) process of intersemiotic (scenic) and intralinguistic translation, although they bear peculiarities entailed by the type of audience, in this case, doubly mixed, made up of both children and adults (accompanying them) and by both Spanish and Romanian (second generation diaspora). The analysis of the intersemiotic and intralinguistic translation will provide data on children’s literature and rewriting, whereas the observation of the reception phase will reveal attitudes towards children’s literature that can be indicative of the intergeneration (diasporic) communication.
Keywords: Intersemiotic translation. Children’s literature. Romanian diaspora. Theatrical rewriting. Interculturality. Ion Creangă.

Authors: CHANG Ya-hui
Published: January 2025

El objetivo de este artículo es indagar acerca de los pies femeninos como un signo en la semiótica y explorar la convergencia de las ideas semióticas en la seducción corporal. Partiendo del concepto del cuerpo de Mary Douglas y de las nociones de seducción de Jean Baudrillard y George Bataille, se observa la seducción a través de los pies femeninos en el óleo Les hasards heureux de l’escarpolette de Jean-Honoré Fragonard y en la obra erótica Jin Ping Mei. Se estudian el origen, el sentido y la connotación de los pies diminutos en el juego de la seducción. Posteriormente, a través de un análisis estadístico de los episodios vinculados a los pies en la obra erótica china, se desvelan las estrategias de seducción que emplean este signo y sus derivados. De esta forma, el estudio pretende contribuir al desarrollo de la dimensión de la semiótica de la seducción.

NO BASTA DECIR NO. NARRATIVAS CONSTITUYENTES Y MUNDOS EMERGENTES EN LAS FICCIONES DEL FUTURO
Authors: PERIS BLANES Jaume
Published: January 2025

En este artículo analizaremos la presencia de pulsiones constituyentes en algunas ficciones del futuro contemporáneas, que hacen verosímil la emergencia de mundos y formas de vida novedosas. Las novelas Cenital (Emilio Bueso, 2011), El futuro que hicimos (Óscar Eslava, 2017) y Tras la montaña está la orilla (Eva Cid, 2020) constituyen tres ejemplos diferentes de esta forma de afrontar la representación posible del futuro. En ellas aparecen contextualizadas y verosimilizadas, formas de vida y relaciones sociales que parecen escapar a los marcos de la verosimilitud política contemporánea. En ellas, la existencia de economías colaborativas, horizontalizadas y no basadas en el mercantilismo se da en contextos diferentes, algunos marcados por el colapso y otros por imaginarios ecosocialistas y del decrecimiento energético. En otras de estas ficciones, sociedades no patriarcales, formadas únicamente por mujeres, emergen como respuesta a los mundos de violencia patriarcal de donde proceden.
Palabras clave: Narrativas constituyentes. Futuro. Verosimilitud. Utopía. Distopía.
Abstract: In this article we will analyze the presence of constituent drives in some contemporary fictions of the future, which make the emergence of novel worlds and ways of life plausible. The novels Cenital (Emilio Bueso, 2011), El futuro que hicimos (Óscar Eslava, 2017) and Tras la montaña está la orilla (Eva Cid, 2020) constitute three different examples of this way of facing the possible representation of the future. In them appear contextualized and verisimilized, ways of life and social relations that seem to escape the frameworks of contemporary political verisimilitude. In them, the emergence of collaborative, horizontalized economies, not based on mercantilism, occurs in different contexts, some marked by collapse and others by ecosocialist and energy degrowth imaginaries. In other of these fictions, non-patriarchal societies, formed solely by women, emerge as a response to the worlds of patriarchal violence from which they originate.
Keywords: Constituent narratives. Future. Verisimilitude. Utopia. Dystopia.
CIENCIA FICCIÓN, NEOLIBERALISMO Y ARCHIVO EN NOVELAS ARGENTINAS Y CHILENAS RECIENTES
Authors: ARECO Macarena
Published: January 2025

En este artículo se analiza la importante presencia del archivo en cuatro novelas latinoamericanas de ciencia ficción, dos de autores argentinos y dos de chilenos: Ygdrasil (2005), de Jorge Baradit; Las constelaciones oscuras (2015), de Pola Oloixarac; Entremuros (2019), de Sergio Missana, y Sinfín (2020), de Martín Caparrós. En todas estas narraciones el archivo aparece como una tecnología central, ya sea en el plano de la enunciación o en el del enunciado, que mayoritariamente está al servicio del poder, aunque en ocasiones abre una posibilidad de utopía y memoria, no obstante lo cual nunca logra tener influencia en la distopía futura. En este marco, el neoliberalismo es un imaginario omnipresente, el que, en algunos casos, se corresponde con sus manifestaciones actuales y, en otros, evoluciona hacia versiones extremas, que significan la esclavitud y la masacre de millones de seres humanos.
Palabras clave: Ciencia ficción. Neoliberalismo. Archivo. Narrativa latinoamericana.
Abstract: This paper analyzes the important presence of the archive in four Latin American science fiction novels, by two Argentine and two Chilean authors respectively: Jorge Baradit’s Ygdrasil (2005), Pola Oloixarac’s Las constelaciones oscuras (2015), Sergio Missana’s Entremuros (2019), and Martín Caparrós’s Sinfín (2020. In these narratives, the archive appears as a central technology, either in the plane of enunciation or in that of the enunciated. The archive is at the service of power: while it sometimes seems to enable a possibility of utopia and memory, it eventually does not manage to influence the future dystopia. In this framework, neoliberalism appears as an omnipresent imaginary, in some cases corresponding to its current manifestations and, in others, stretching towards extreme versions, such as the enslavement and massacre of millions of human beings.
Keywords: Science fiction. Neoliberalism. Archive. Latin American narrative.
DE DIOSES, NINFAS Y HÉROES. EL CUERPO CINCELADO EN LA POESÍA DE ROSA CHACEL
Authors: PALOMO ALEPUZ Laura
Published: January 2025

La poesía de Rosa Chacel, que bebe al mismo tiempo de las fuentes de la tradición y de la vanguardia, canaliza el pensamiento estético de la escritora, muy influido por su formación escultórica y plástica. En este trabajo se analiza la forma en la que su concepción de la belleza se concreta en sus versos a través de la dimensión corporal. Bajo una tupida red de referencias artísticas y literarias y con una visión marcada por los ideales de armonía y desnudez del arte grecorromano, la autora construye una arquitectura verbal pulida y reluciente en la que el elemento simbólico tiene una importancia transcendental. A través de una poesía de gran exigencia formal, Rosa Chacel cuestiona oposiciones imperantes como vida / cultura o cuerpo / mente mediante una poética que, como la filosofía antigua, tiene en el humanismo su razón de ser.
Palabras clave: Rosa Chacel. Poesía. Cuerpo. Antigüedad clásica. Humanismo.

Below a dense artistic and literary reference network and together with a vision marked by the beauty ideal of harmony and nudity of Greco-Roman art, the author build a refined and shinning verbal architecture in which the symbolic element has a transcendental importance. Through a poetry of great formal commitment, Rosa Chacel query prevailing oppositions as life / culture or body / mind by using a poetics that, like ancient philosophy, finds his raison d’être in humanism.

Scandalous incidents that have occurred in well-known firms around the world have brought attention to the need of best practices in forming an organization’s ethical culture. Additionally, success in business depends on understanding its regulations. However, after a thorough and selective review of numerous studies conducted in various organizational occupational contexts and countries, it was conclusively shown that employees’ creativity was positively correlated with ethical leadership. This study aimed to contribute to the literature on organizational behavior in developing nations by investigating the effects of creative employees in south-south Nigeria on ethical practices in the context of rule breaking, psychological safety climate, shared leadership, and knowledge sharing. In this study, a cross-sectional survey questionnaire was used Quantitative research methodology comes next. The study’s sample consisted of 375 workers from agro-based industries, transportation corporations, financial institutions, tourism/hospitality enterprises, and petroleum companies that operate in Nigeria’s south-south states. Using measures of ethical behavior, rule breaking, psychological safety climate, shared leadership, and knowledge sharing, data from 375 employees (450 men and 150 women) during two time periods were calculated. STATA 13.0, a statistical software program, was used to analyze data. According to the statistical studies, employees’ creativity was positively correlated with rule breaking, psychological safety, shared leadership, and information sharing. By highlighting ethical behavior as a crucial component of creativity, the current study expands on the social learning theory. The results have some ramifications for people management, particularly with regard to the practicality and selection of best practices. In order to improve employees’ inventive solutions in firms, managers may find the study useful in addressing the aspects that impact creativity.

Published: January 2025

Branding is an important concept in consumer buying behaviour and it is a crucial factor that influences product purchase decision. The study examined the influence of brand equity dimension on purchase decision of Heineken larger beer amongst consumers in the central senatorial district of Delta State. Data were drawn from a sample of 371 respondents in Ughelli, Effurun and Sapele with a structured questionnaire, while data were analysed with descriptive and inferential statistics. The results indicate that all dimension of brand equity had direct and significant impact on consumers‘ purchase decision of Heineken lager beer, but brand loyalty has the greatest influence. Although, brand quality had the least effect on buying decision, this could be adduced to the fact that existing customers tend to take product quality as given‘, and they continue to promote their association with the brand through positive word of mouth and recommendations. Owing to the intense competition in the Nigerian beer market, manufacturers need to adopt strategies to promote consumers emotional attachment to their brands through rigorous advertisement.

This study examined the correlation between green logistics activities and the corporate viability of road building firms in Rivers State. The study parameters encompass green procurement, eco-design, and reverse logistics, whereas growth, responsiveness, and customer satisfaction serve as measurements of the dependent variable. The study addressed three research issues and evaluated nine null hypotheses. The study population consisted of eighteen (18) functioning construction enterprises in Rivers State, listed in the finelib.com, a Nigerian Directory and Search Engine. The study employed a census approach to distribute three copies of a questionnaire to Site Managers, Logistics Managers, and Supervisors of construction enterprises in Rivers State. A total of 54 participants were utilised for the investigation. Data were collected from respondents using a meticulously designed questionnaire. Pearson’s Product Moment Correlation was employed to evaluate the hypotheses utilising Statistical Package for the Social Sciences version 23.0. The p- values were computed to ascertain the significance of the proposed link. Analytical results indicated statistically significant positive correlations between the dimensions of the predictor variable—green logistics initiatives—and the measures of the criterion variable— corporate vitality. The study revealed that green logistics activities are highly associated with the corporate viability of road building enterprises in Rivers State. The study thus advised that managers of road construction firms in Rivers State implement green procurement practices, including eco-labeling, material standards, and product certification, to attain their growth objectives; they should also adopt reverse logistics practices to enhance client satisfaction and overall corporate vitality; furthermore, managers should exercise caution in selecting eco-designs to ensure responsiveness to client needs and optimise operational performance.

This study investigates how corporate board diversity affects environmental sustainability reporting in Nigeria oil and gas firms using data from 2011 to 2022. This study’s primary focused on the negative effects of oil spills in Nigeria’s Niger Delta. Expost-facto research design was used as a guide while multiple regression analysis was used in analyzing the data. Results indicate negative but statistically significant relationship between environmental sustainability reporting and board size (BSZ), a negative but statistically insignificant relationship between gender diversity and environmental sustainability reporting and board nationality (BNAT), and a negative but statistically insignificant relationship between gender diversity (BGD) and environmental sustainability reporting. Additionally, there was a positive correlation between environmental sustainability reporting and board independence (BIND), even if the correlation was not statistically significant. The study concludes that, despite the majority of independent variables showing a negative correlation with environmental sustainability reporting, corporate board diversity is believed to have a higher impact on corporate information disclosure. Boards of Nigeria oil and gas firms may exert more influence over environmental sustainability reporting if their numbers were fewer. The study recommend that smaller boards should be encouraged in order to promote effective information disclosure. It was also recommended that the Nigeria government and corporate organization should be aware of their immediate responsibility in protecting and maintaining the natural environment.

AI-assisted assessment in higher education: A systematic review
Authors: Zhao Chunyi
Published: January 2025

AI tools are increasingly used in education, impacting teaching and learning across various disciplines. However, previous review articles and empirical studies have not systematically discussed the application of AI in higher education assessment, the impact on user acceptance during its application, and the future opportunities and challenges. This systematic review aims to understand the application of AI tools in assessment, factors that influence students' and educators' perceptions, and related challenges and opportunities. Analyzing 81 empirical studies through matrix coding and content analysis, the results show that AI tools are used in intelligent tutoring and personalized learning, giving automated assessment and feedback, virtual classroom and online collaboration, learning analytics and prediction, knowledge management and resource recommendation, and educational chat assistants. AI tools offer high-quality, real-time, personalized feedback, improving cognitive and metacognitive skills and fostering positive emotions. Despite the benefits, challenges such as security and privacy concerns, algorithmic bias, unreliable feedback, negative attitudes, insufficient abilities, academic integrity issues, and lack of proper guidance persist. To advance our understanding of AI as an assessment tool, we call for studies that explore ways to enhance teachers’ and students’ perceptions and refine guidelines to prevent academic dishonesty and ensure responsible AI use.

Published: January 2025

Background: Raoultella terrigena (formerly Klebsiella terrigena) is an environmental gram-negative rod. It can cause infections in humans, especially in immunosuppressed patients and tends to be multi-drug resistant, limiting treatment options. There is lack of data on clinical presentation and outcomes of infections due to this organism. In this study; we describe the clinical features (presenting complaints, co-morbid diseases, complications, etc.), available treatment options, and outcomes (hospital/ICU stay, mortality) of patients with R. terrigena infections, seen retrospectively over six years.
Material and Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted on all adult hospitalized patients with clinical specimens positive for Raoultella terrigena at a 700-bedded tertiary care hospital in Karachi, Pakistan, from January 2013 to December 2018.
Results:  We identified 58 patients with R. terrigena isolated from different cultures specimens, of which n=12 (22.6%) were colonizers. The median age was 61.5 years (IQR=43-71), and most were male (n=28). The most common site of infection was the respiratory tract in 28.3%, then urinary tract in 26%, and central line in 26.1%. Amongst infected cases, 37% had septic shock, 45.7% had respiratory failure.
Conclusion: R. terrigena is a multi-drug-resistant organism with a high mortality rate and can cause hospital-acquired respiratory tract infections in patients.
