Escrituras contra la norma: formas disruptivas de hacer memoria
Full text linkLas aproximaciones aquí reunidas indagan en narrativas contemporáneas hispánicas y latinoamericanas que tensionan las formas convencionales de construcción memorialística. Se trata, por tanto, de observar cómo se desarrollan estas reinterpretaciones del pasado en las voces de sujetos que han sido históricamente subalternizados y, por tanto, excluidos/as de lo comúnmente aceptable, posible o válido. Frente a un campo literario que favorece discursos patriarcales, masculinos (y masculinizados), burgueses, urbanos, heterocentristas y occidentalizados, ponemos en primer término aquellos que son críticos con el statu quo institucionalizado al ofrecer miradas periféricas o disruptivas en cuestiones de clase, género, procedencia geográfica, clase social o ideología.The approaches gathered here explore contemporary Hispanic and Latin
American narratives that challenge conventional forms of memoir writing. The aim,
therefore, is to observe how these reinterpretations of the past are developed in the
voices of subjects who have been historically subalternised and, therefore, excluded
from what is commonly acceptable, possible or valid. In the face of a literary field that
favours patriarchal, masculine (and masculinised), bourgeois, urban, heterocentric and
westernised discourses, we bring to the fore those that are critical of the institution-alised "statu quo" by offering peripheral or disruptive views on issues of class, gender,
geographical origin, social class or ideology.As abordagens aqui reunidas investigam narrativas hispânicas e latino-americanas contemporâneas que tensionam as formas convencionais de construção memorialística. O objetivo, portanto, é observar como essas reinterpretações do passado se
desenvolvem nas vozes de sujeitos historicamente subalternizados e, por isso, excluídos
do que é comummente aceitável, possível ou válido. Perante um campo literário que
privilegia os discursos patriarcais, masculinos (e masculinizados), burgueses, urbanos,
heterocêntricos e ocidentalizados, trazemos para primeiro plano aqueles que são críticos do statu quo institucionalizado, oferecendo visões periféricas ou disruptivas sobre
questões de classe, género, origem geográfica, classe social ou ideologia
Fae’s forest: the representation of feminity in "Bad habit", by Alana S. Portero
Full text link"La mala costumbre", de Alana S. Portero, ha despertado en el campo literario nuevas voces narrativas marginalizadas en la sociedad, poniendo el foco en una mujer transgénero que constantemente cuestiona los modelos de feminidad impuestos. Este estudio se centra en dos cronotopos: la infancia en San Blas, donde sus referentes son las madres obreras sometidas al arquetipo del “ángel de hogar”, y en la adolescencia, cuando conoce a las prostitutas trans del centro de Madrid, mujeres atravesadas por las exigencias estéticas en los cuerpos no normativos y la interseccionalidad. Conforme avanza el relato, la narradora construye un bosque feérico plagado de seres femeninos idealizados para evadir la crudeza de la realidad. No obstante, el paso de la infancia a la madurez oscurece progresivamente ese bosque, subvirtiéndolo en una realidad santoral."Bad habit", by Alana S. Portero, has awakened in the literary field new narrative voices, marginalized by society, focusing on a transgender woman who constantly questions the imposed models of femininity. This work focuses on two chronotopes: childhood in San Blas, where her referents are mothers subjected to the “Angel of home” archetype, and in the adolescence, when she meets transgender prostitutes in the city center of Madrid, traversed by the aesthetic demands in no-normative bodies and intersectionality. As the narration progresses, the narrator builds a fae’s forest, full of feminine beings, to evade the crudeness of reality. However, the transition of childhood to maturity progressively darkens said forest, subverting it into a saint’s reality: fairies show their real wings, as they transform into working-class women martyred by precariousness and subjected to work to subsist

Knowledge production and planetarity in the Latin American essay: an ecocritical reading of "Nuestra América" by José Martí
No full textThe quest for a genuinely Latin American identity was central to the continent’s independence movements and led to one of the most striking entanglements of identitarian discourses and nature narratives in the history of the Americas, namely the seminal essay "Nuestra América" by José Martí. This article argues that "Nuestra América" should be understood as a vital example of decolonial, ecocritical knowledge production from the South, and examines how the essay conceptualises nature as a narrative that contests the anthropocentric, colonial exploitation of the environment and fosters a planetary vision of the human.La búsqueda de una identidad genuinamente latinoamericana fue fundamental para los movimientos independentistas del continente y dio lugar a uno de los entrelazamientos más destacados entre discursos identitarios y narrativas sobre la naturaleza: el ensayo seminal "Nuestra América" de José Martí. El presente artículo sostiene que "Nuestra América" debe entenderse como un ejemplo central de producción de conocimiento ecocrítico decolonial desde el Sur, y examina cómo el ensayo conceptualiza la naturaleza como una narrativa que denuncia la explotación colonial antropocéntrica del medio ambiente y fomenta una visión planetaria de lo humano
Rooted resistance and vegetal life in the poetry of Ana Varela Tafur
No full textThis article explores the vegetal imagery in Ana Varela Tafur’s poetry and how it engages with the legacy of colonial violence left by the Rubber Boom—violence that persists in contemporary extractive activities in the Peruvian Amazon. Through an analysis of three recurring plants in her work—the rubber tree, the Ayahuasca vine, and the shihuahuaco tree—I examine how each offers a distinct perspective on human–nonhuman relationships, the enduring cycles of exploitation that shape the region, and the potential of plant life to resist, heal, and foster ecological and cultural regeneration.Este artículo analiza la representación del mundo vegetal en la poesía de Ana Varela Tafur y su vinculación con el legado de violencia colonial heredado del boom del caucho, una forma de violencia que persiste en las actividades extractivas en la Amazonia peruana. A partir del análisis de tres plantas—el árbol del caucho, la ayahuasca y el árbol shihuahuaco—este ensayo estudia cómo cada planta propone una perspectiva distinta sobre las relaciones entre humanos y más que humanos, los ciclos extractivos que perduran en la región y el rol de las plantas para resistir, sanar y fomentar renovación ecológica y cultural
International influences for a democratic Argentina: the Unites States and the role of human rights
Full text linkAunque el proceso de democratización argentina fue impulsado principalmente por dinámicas internas, este trabajo busca explorar los factores internacionales que también influyeron en la transición. En particular, este estudio analiza el impacto de las políticas de derechos humanos del presidente Carter (1977-1981) en el contexto político argentino. La investigación se basa tanto en la literatura existente como en fuentes primarias de archivos como el Foreign Relations of the United States Archive, The National Archives y el Archivo Histórico de la Cancillería de Argentina. Al estudiar el régimen militar argentino y la administración Carter, el trabajo demuestra cómo la política internacional de derechos humanos se convirtió en una de las premisas externas que contribuyeron al proceso de democratización de Argentina.This study examines the international premises that facilitated Argentina’s democratization, focusing on the period of the Carter administration and the Videla dictatorship. While internal dynamics primarily drove the democratization process, this paper explores the international factors that influenced the transition. Specifically, it analyses the impact of President Carter’s human rights policies (1977-1981) on Argentina’s political context. The research draws on both existing literature and primary sources from archives such as Foreign Relations of the United States Archive, The National Archives, and Argentina’s Archivo Histórico de Cancillería. By studying the roles of the Argentine military regime and the Carter administration, this paper aims to demonstrate how international human rights policy became one of the external premises that contributed to Argentina’s democratization process
Fault detection in UAVs: a binary Black-Box classification approach
Full text linkCátedra ENIA IA3. Documento de trabajoThis work addresses the problem of Fault Detection and Isolation (FDI) in Unmanned
Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) by leveraging the RflyMAD dataset. We propose
a supervised, binary classification approach that, despite the sequential nature of
flight data, operates on static instantaneous records. This hypothesis posits that
the instantaneous state of the system, represented by a multidimensional feature
vector, contains sufficient discriminative information to determine the aircraft’s
health status without relying on long-term temporal memory. We present a comprehensive
data processing workflow designed to transform continuous telemetry
streams into structured tabular datasets suitable for “Black Box” machine learning
algorithms. The study evaluates the efficacy of these models in identifying various
failure modes, serving as a foundation for robust predictive maintenance strategies
Anomaly severity classification in bearing systems based on a health indicator
Full text linkCátedra ENIA IA3. Documento de trabajoIn this work, we address the challenge of identifying abnormal operating conditions in rotary machinery and classifying their severity based on the temporal deviation of a health indicator (HI). From a set of candidate anomaly detection techniques (hierarchical sequential clustering, Deep SVDD, and OC-SVM), we select OC-SVM due its ability to generalise from healthy behaviour and detect temporal deviations in HI trajectories. The approach is validated using the CWRU Bearing Dataset, achieving interpretable and scalable results suitable for industrial predictive maintenance pipelines
