Get PDFLa fragilidad del ser y la violencia simbólica del lenguaje en un cuento de Luz Selenia Vásquez
Get PDFEn este artículo se analiza el cuento “Como el cristal al romperse” (1983) de Luz Selenia Vásquez desde una perspectiva multidisciplinaria, explorando la intersección entre migración, identidad y lengua. A través del personaje de Lupe Carrera, una migrante latina de edad avanzada internada en una clínica psiquiátrica en Estados Unidos, el relato evidencia la violencia simbólica ejercida sobre su identidad lingüística y cultural. La imposición del inglés como única lengua válida refuerza su exclusión y desarraigo, mientras que el español, reducido a un murmullo marginal, se convierte en el último vínculo con su identidad. El análisis también examina la alienación mediática y el consumismo como mecanismos de opresión, representados en el acto final de la protagonista, en un gesto de desesperada resistencia ante una realidad que la silencia. A partir de este marco, se reflexiona sobre el bilingüismo forzado como una forma de violencia estructural, subrayando la relevancia contemporánea del relato
Trees as participants in news articles of British quality newspapers. An ecolinguistics perspective
Get PDFHumans are dependent on trees in ways that cannot be overstated, especially at times of severe climate crisis. Yet, the investigation of trees as participants in discourse is an under-researched field in ecolinguistics. The study addresses this research gap by exploring the construal of discursive roles of trees within a framework combining ecolinguistics studies (Alexander and Stibbe 2014; Bortoluzzi and Zurru 2024; Fill and Mühlhäusler 2001; Fill and Penz 2018; Steffensen 2024a, 2024b; Steffensen and Fill 2014, Stibbe 2021) and ecocultural identities (Milstein and Castro-Sotomayor 2020a; Stibbe 2020). The qualitative small-scale study examines how discoursal roles of trees as participants in news discourse are represented and contextualised in 100 news items published between January and June 2024 in three British quality newspapers (The Daily Telegraph, The Times, The Guardian). The research questions are: How are trees represented in mainstream news in British quality newspapers? What roles are construed for them in relation with human participants? Data-driven categories are discussed on the basis of news values (Bednarek and Caple 2012, 2017) and value assessment of natural entities (Himes et al. 2024). The resulting categories constitute a cline ranging from representing trees as living beings worthy of respect (a minority of instances) to beings functional to human needs, or as valueless and disposable objects. The majority of instances represents trees as instrumental to human needs and purposes, thus revealing a profound anthropocentric bias in news discourse. The results raise awareness on the need for more ecocentric perspectives in news discourse, and have implications for ecolinguistics education
Neviano a metà Settecento. Processi storici del paesaggio agrario
Get PDFEnThrough the analysis of data from the 1753 Catasto Onciario, this essay reconstructs the agrarian landscape of Neviano during the first half of the eighteenth century. It explores the distribution of land ownership and evaluates the state of key cultivations, such as arable land, vineyards, and olive groves, alongside the prevalence of uncultivated areas, pastures, and woodlands. This territorial configuration offers valuable insights into the economic development of this small agricultural centre in the modern era and its underlying social relationships. The study also reveals significant differences in development between Neviano and the larger neighbouring centres of Gallipoli and Galatone, which played pivotal roles in shaping its historical and economic trajectory. Given its similarities to other minor centres along the eastern and western slopes of the Serra Jonica, Neviano serves as a representative case for the broader dynamics of this region in the immediate hinterland of Gallipoli.ItAttraverso l'analisi dei dati ricavati dal Catasto Onciario del 1753 è delineato, nel saggio che segue, l'assetto del paesaggio agrario di Neviano nella prima metà del Settecento. Vi è infatti desunta la distribuzione della proprietà terriera e definito lo stato delle principali colture: seminativo, vigneto e oliveto, insieme con l'incidenza degli incolti, pascoli e macchie. La fisionomia del territorio costituisce altresì una importante chiave di lettura per la conoscenza dello sviluppo economico di un piccolo centro agricolo in età moderna, e dei rapporti sociali intercorrenti. L'appartenenza delle terre e la natura delle coltivazioni evidenziano il diverso grado di sviluppo rispetto ai maggiori centri vicini, Gallipoli e Galatone, e il ruolo da questi svolto nei processi storici ed economici di Neviano, che può essere rappresentativo dell'area nord della Serra jonica, date le analogie con gli altri centri minori sui fianchi est ed ovest della Serra, nell'immediato entroterra di Gallipoli
