Myth and Poetry in Macondo
Authors: López-Baralt Mercedes 
Published: November 2021

Abstract
One Hundred Years of Solitude has frequently been approached from a historical perspective, focusing on the colonial imprint in Latin America’s destiny. Yet in his Nobel Prize acceptance speech, García Márquez made it clear that he wished to be remembered for the poetry that permeates his writing. This article is inspired by this assertion, as well as by a quote from Ernesto Sabato, who claims that for philosophers and artists, myth and poetry are keys to access the Absolute: truth, beauty, and perfection. Taking into account the few previous attempts to pursue these motifs in the novel, the article undertakes a search of the traces of both myth and poetry in García Márquez’s opera magna. The faces of myth are many: Oedipus, prophecies, magic, utopia, the mandala of the tree of life, cyclical time, alchemy, one-dimensional characters (actants), genesis, and apocalypse. On the other hand, poems and metaphors are ever present in the novel. This search led to a new reading of One Hundred Years of Solitude, discovering García Márquez’ celebration of ambiguity. For the novel’s conclusion moves the reader to two opposing interpretations: apocalypse (the destruction of Macondo and the solitary Buendía dynasty) and hope (solidarity in a new mankind). The possibility of clashing readings confirms Italo Calvino’s definition of a classic as a book that never finishes saying what it has to say.
The Protean Viewpoint in One Hundred Years of Solitude
Authors: Camayd-Freixas Erik 
Published: November 2021

Abstract
Point of view is a primary category of narrative, given that other elements such as characterization, description, language, worldview, structure, and genre, if they are to be convincing, need to be consistent with the adopted vantage point. In One Hundred Years of Solitude, where there is little direct dialogue, a polyvalent and multilayered diegesis, where an uncertain narrator recounts what different characters see, feel, and say, becomes a signature technique. According to Boris Uspensky, the “ideological point of view,” defined as the way of looking at the world conceptually, is not explicitly expressed, but found rather at the phraseological level of the narrative—marking a return to rhetorical criticism. “Many years later, before the firing squad, Colonel Aureliano Buendía would remember that remote afternoon when his father took him to discover ice.” From the outset, the viewpoint is marked by extreme shifts in person, character, time, tenses, and space, mapping its polyphony. This polyvalent narrator shifts from character to character, while the phraseology evokes different genres of the marvelous (myth, legend, folk tales, children’s stories, fairy tales, chronicles, travelogues, and ethnographic accounts). This overlay supports the verisimilitude of magical realist narrative. Ultimately the authorial mask is revealed to be Melquiades, himself a protean figure, a gypsy, merchant, explorer, ethnographer, inspired in Don Quixote’s Cide Hamete Benengeli. The narrator’s worldview coincides with the characters, such that no one shows surprise before the supernatural. The ideology appears naive, provincial, rural, primitive, and akin to outsider art, while maintaining a sophisticated technique.
García Márquez and the Global South
Authors: Armillas-Tiseyra Magalí 
Published: November 2021

Abstract
Even when its focus is ostensibly local, Gabriel García Márquez’s literary output registers the global forces—and, specifically, the imbalances of economic, political, and cultural power—that condition those local circumstances. These same forces are the dynamics that define the Global South in the present. Following the most recent work in the field, the Global South is here understood not simply as a place name or post–Cold War substitute for the Third World, but as the resistant political imaginary arising from the mutual recognition of shared or analogous circumstances by marginalized or dispossessed groups throughout the world. This article explores the three principal intersections between García Márquez’s work and the Global South understood as a relational and analytical category. First, it outlines the ways in which his work registers global—and, importantly, South-South—circuits of exchange, opening up new comparative itineraries. Second, it elaborates the ways in which these comparative connections build toward a critique of the global system, such that García Márquez provides both the grounds and a model for what this article calls “Global South thinking.” The final section addresses the circulation and influence of García Márquez’s work in the literatures of the Global South. Much of the existing commentary on this topic (his influence on Third World, postcolonial, or even world literature) has focused on magical realism and One Hundred Years of Solitude. But, the article shows, works such as The Autumn of the Patriarch and Chronicle of a Death Foretold have also had a profound influence, on both individual texts and their reception.
Fate and Free Will in Chronicle of a Death Foretold
Authors: Swanson Philip 
Published: November 2021

Abstract
In García Márquez, the magical is associated with fantasy, myth, literariness, and the unknowability of reality, while realism suggests seeing through fictitious versions of reality constructed by hegemonic discourses. Chronicle of a Death Foretold (1981) is about fate and ambiguity, but also encourages the challenging of convention and the assertion of an independent identity: the “magic” of the imagination is a path to alternative ways of being and a new reality. The title suggests the circularity of a mystical destiny and the investigative desire to recuperate historical truth. Santiago Nasar’s death is inevitable because of an honor code rooted in religious and social conformity (his killing is necessary to purify the Vicario family name following a bridegroom’s discovery that his bride, Angela Vicario, has already lost her virginity, possibly to Santiago). Moreover, there is a performative, ritualistic, sacrificial dimension to the planning of the death, as Angela’s brothers act out their compulsion according to what they believe is required of them. Behind this is the idea that the magic of love has become little more than a social contract and has ceased to be “real.” The investigation of the detective-like chronicler (into a real event now being transformed into a fiction) implies a quest for “truth,” and the final outcome is a not entirely ironic achievement of “true” love, independently chosen. This article explores how agency and authorship are mobilized to test the limits of fatalism and convention.
The Filmic Literary Works of Gabriel García Márquez
Authors: Rocco Alessandro 
Published: November 2021

Abstract
Cinema is a very important area of GGM literary activity, which the author conceived as another way to tell stories, in parallel and connected to the ways novels/stories and journalism tell stories of their own. This article addresses the work of García Márquez as a filmic writer. After briefly explaining the influence of cinema on his literary education, the article focuses on some problems in the writing of subjects and screenplays in relation to film production, which also concerned García Márquez. His film work is discussed in chronological order, while also highlighting the more relevant thematic and aesthetic elements. The theme of destiny opens and closes the discourse, given that it is present both in the first and last important screenplays by the author, Tiempo de morir and Edipo Alcalde, linked to the influence of Sophocles’s Oedipus Rex. Another relevant theme is that of the tension between realistic representation and the different forms of transfiguration of reality, via fantastic elements, absurd situations, and hyperbolic intensifications. Such aspects may be found in the screenplays of many films written by GGM between the 1970s and 1980s: Presagio, El año de la peste, María de mi corazón, Eréndira, Un señor muy viejo con unas alas enormes, and the series Amores difíciles. Finally, the article focuses on some unexecuted projects: unpublished screenplays or film stories, such as “Dios y yo”, “Para Elisa”, and “Blacamán”, which show the richness of the filmic imagination of García Márquez.
Modernization and Culture in García Márquez’s Caribbean
Authors: Velasco Marcela 
Published: November 2021

Abstract
Gabriel García Márquez offers rich accounts of the Colombian Caribbean’s experience with the historical forces of progress that test traditional societies and their predominant values and attitudes. Colombian historiography identifies various broad stages of secular change in the Caribbean since independence: (1) the emergence of enclave economies, (2) the arrival of people fleeing violence, (3) the foundation of new settlements in the hinterland, (4) the rapid industrialization of Barranquilla, and (5) the region’s full integration into the national project. García Márquez’s fictional towns and generations exist in phases 1–4, which roughly correspond with one hundred years of postindependence history. His Caribbean, like the real one, follows a messy path to modernity where traditional values are tested. It has fuzzy political, cultural, and economic borders and is governed by overlapping elites who, unintentionally, leave vacuums of power for the reproduction of morally loose, intercultural, and miscegenated societies. These societies see the dominant civilization and are familiar with its technologies and social projects. News of progress comes to them in leaf storms, books of knowledge brought by gypsies, trains arriving out of nowhere, or the speeches of shady politicians. This article argues that such broad changes shape values and attitudes as people adapt to new patterns of organization. In the standard modernization account, traditional values (i.e., survival/family orientation) give way to secular values (i.e., self-expression/trust in anonymous institutions). But this cultural transition is neither smooth nor complete. Rather, traditional and secular values coexist in constant tension, and García Márquez shows how.
Inequality and Day-to-Day Encounters with
Media
Authors: Prendella Kate , Alper Meryl 
Published: November 2021

Abstract
Disabled people have a complex relationship with media as content consumers, activist organizers, and technological innovators. This chapter highlights the underexplored theoretical connections between disability and media sociology and suggests how disability can inform and improve the sociological study of media. The authors draw on various cultural theories and concepts to emphasize how inequalities are perpetuated in disabled individuals’ day-to-day-media encounters. First, the chapter reviews media “access work,” or the paid and voluntary efforts of individuals who labor to make media technologies accessible, and how this work has historically been devalued and rendered invisible. Next, the chapter discusses social media and online communities as powerful resources for generating and sharing knowledge among people with disabilities, while contending with major structural limitations to their participation. Lastly, the chapter explores mass media and the tensions inherent in disability media representation both on- and off-screen. The discussion concludes with suggested areas for future research at the intersections of disability and media sociology that take seriously the mediated work of disabled individuals, employ explicitly anti-ableist approaches, and recognize the need for cultural accessibility.
Framing Disability in Fashion
Authors: Foster Jordan 
Published: November 2021

Abstract
The fashion industry has long neglected people with disabilities, opting instead for a cast of uniformly slender and (overwhelmingly) White models. But recent efforts toward diversity and inclusion suggest that change may be underway. This chapter examines these changes with a focus on fashion media published online. Specifically, this chapter looks to a collection of 50 editorial articles published by Teen Vogue between 2018 and 2020 to determine how disability is framed for consumers. It does this within a broader discussion on the cultural logics and industry conventions that shape the production of fashion content. The findings reported here suggest that online fashion media may hold unique opportunities for diversity and inclusion, with stories and images that cast disability in new and less narrow terms than have been previously reported. These include terms related to the importance of representation across cultural industries and stories that center disability rights in focus. Moving forward, more work is needed to ensure that this representation carriers forward in cultural productions within and outside of the fashion industry.
Disability and the Transition to Adulthood in the
United States
Authors: Bardo Anthony R. , Vowels Ashley 
Published: November 2021

Abstract
This chapter provides a synthesis of the literature on the transition to adulthood among emerging adults with a disability in the United States. The life course paradigm was used to frame the discussion in the context of demographic trends and contemporary circumstances regarding major life transitions in the areas of education, employment, independent living, and sex, marriage, and parenthood. A critical assessment of the current state of the literature from a social versus medical model of disability in these central life domains provides a foundation from which sociologists can explore processes of cumulative inequality embedded in the relatively uncharted lives of transition-age youth with a disability.
Disability, Violence, and Prison
Authors: Ostrander Nomi 
Published: November 2021

Abstract
This chapter explores the intersection of disability, race, and violence within the context of US carceral settings. To foreground this discussion, the author traces the War on Drug’s impact on prison population growth. These policies simultaneously increased community violence that resulted in countless disabilities, along with thousands of deaths. The surviving combatants were often left to serve time in prisons that were not equipped to house and support individuals with disabilities and complex medical needs. Once incarcerated, many people with disabilities experience higher rates of violence and manipulation from other inmates and guards. The chapter concludes with several recommendations to improve conditions for people with disabilities who are incarcerated or face incarceration for criminal offenses.
Activism, Inclusion, and Social Justice
Authors: Prince Michael 
Published: November 2021

Abstract
This chapter considers the relations between disability and the political in contemporary societies. This includes a discussion of possibilities of human agency and social movement capacities in the disability field. The analysis discusses several models of disability and statuses of bodies, which are evident in theory, movement advocacy, and public policy. These are the personal tragedy and worthy poor model, the biomedical model, the social model, the human rights model, and the psychoemotional model of disability. The chapter then examines activism as a repertoire of activities and roles taking place in various jurisdictional spaces and territorial scales of mobilization. The chapter next analyzes three forms of social injustices and advocacy strategies pursued by contemporary disability rights movements: activism centered on recognition, redistribution, and representation. Concluding observations call on the need to examine disability and the struggle for social justice in relation to a politics of cultural recognition and identity, a politics of socioeconomic redistribution of material goods and services, and a politics of democratic representation that combines conventional and alternative modes of decision-making. Over time, the mix and style of activism may shift at the level of the individual or family, the agency or movement organization, or the national and international sectors. This gives disability activism and the struggle for social justice dynamic qualities enacted through symbolic, materialist, and political concerns in interaction with public and private authorities.
Contextualizing Disability Experiences
Authors: Latham-Mintus Kenzie , Cordon Sabrina 
Published: November 2021

Abstract
Scholars and advocates have long proposed that an individual’s impairment is not the source of disability, but instead it is social and physical barriers put in place by society that are disabling. The purpose of this chapter is to (1) provide an overview of how contextual factors are conceptualized and measured in the current literature; (2) describe the key findings and discuss what the current research tells us about the salience of the environment for individual disability experiences; and (3) identify critical gaps in the literature and discuss future recommendations. The chapter takes a place-based approach and focuses on the communities and neighborhoods in which people with disabilities live. The chapter also explores how the intersection of disability and other social identities is influenced by the environment. Finally, the chapter concludes by discussing existing gaps in the literature and recommendations for future research.
Health system perspectives in acute kidney injury: commitment to kidney health and planning implementation interventions
Authors: Kane-Gill Sandra L. 
Published: November 2021

Purpose of review
To discuss a deliberate commitment by health systems to optimize kidney health and outcomes of patients who are at risk for or develop acute kidney injury (AKI) during hospitalization.

Recent findings
In 2019, the US Department of Health and Human Services set national goals targeted at improving the care and outcomes of patients with kidney disease including prevention by reducing the number of Americans who develop end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) by 25% by 2030. In response to this call to action, there is a need to focus on education to identify patients at high-risk for kidney disease development and progression, active surveillance methods to ensure timely identification, offering better follow-up care after an episode of AKI. A strategic approach to determining the health systems level of commitment and developing a plan for organizational change is discussed in this commentary. Items for consideration are structuring sound implementation projects and selecting implementation interventions. Clinical interventions to consider for implementation include the use of clinical decision support for detecting patients with AKI, novel biomarkers to determine patients at high-risk for AKI and nephrotoxin stewardship to prevent medication safety complications and drug-associated AKI.

Summary
There is a national call to action to improve the care and outcomes of patients with kidney disease. Health systems have an opportunity to respond by providing a high level of commitment towards ensuring the best kidney health for all patients equally. Deliberate change that is sustainable and scalable should be considered by all health systems.
Above and beyond cancer: a novel approach to growth and resilience in cancer survivors
Authors: Vélez-Bermúdez Miriam , Norton Aleisha , Ament Natalie , Armer Jessica , Davis Lauren Z. , Deming Richard L. , Lutgendorf Susan K. 
Published: November 2021

Abstract

Background:
Although cancer diagnosis and treatment frequently cause distress, many survivors report personal growth, change, and transformation. To better understand these dynamics, we used a qualitative approach to study twenty-seven heterogeneous cancer survivors who participated in physically and emotionally challenging journeys through the Above and Beyond Cancer organization. Groups traveled to Kathmandu (Nepal), Mt. Kilimanjaro (Tanzania), and Mt. Kailash (China), and volunteered at nearby cancer hospitals.

Methods:
Survivors completed short essays and surveys pre-departure, 3 weeks, and 3 months post-trip. Qualitative responses were categorized into themes by 4 independent reviewers following consensus, and quantitative measures assessed sociodemographic characteristics and mood.

Results:
Qualitative findings highlighted the role of new experiences and social support in enabling participants to develop new meaning, growth, and a new sense of their capabilities. Quantitative measures showed that anxiety of participants decreased over time.

Conclusions:
This study points to lifestyle undertakings that can support personal growth in cancer survivors.
Multi-marker metabarcoding resolves subtle variations in freshwater condition: Bioindicators, ecological traits, and trophic interactions
Authors: Robinson Chloe Victoria , Porter Teresita M. , Maitland Victoria Carley , Wright Michael T.G. , Hajibabaei Mehrdad 
Published: November 2021

AbstractFreshwater systems are experiencing rapid biodiversity losses resulting from high rates of habitat degradation. Ecological condition is typically determined through identifying either macroinvertebrate or diatom bioindicator assemblages and comparing them to their known tolerance to stressors. These comparisons are typically conducted at family or genus levels depending on the availability of taxonomic keys and expertise for focal groups. The objective of this study was to test whether a more taxonomically comprehensive assessment of communities in benthic samples can provide a different perspective of ecological conditions. DNA metabarcoding was used to identify macroinvertebrates and diatoms from kick-net samples collected from sites with different habitat status. Sites with ‘good’ condition were associated with higher beta diversity as well as slightly higher directed connectance and modularity indicating higher resilience compared with ‘fair’ condition sites. Indicator value and correlation analyses used DNA metabarcoding data to detect 29 site condition indicator species consistent with known bioindicators and expected relative tolerances. DNA metabarcoding and trophic network analysis also recovered 11 keystone taxa. This study demonstrates the importance of taxonomic breadth across trophic levels for generating biotic data to study ecosystem status, with the potential to scale-up ecological assessments of freshwater condition, trophic stability, and resilience.
