L’insécurité linguistique dans l’enseignement du français langue seconde : de quoi parle-t-on?
Get PDFLinguistic insecurity is often defined by a lack of confidence in one’s linguistic abilities, which is grounded in the idea that there is a superior, more authentic standard against which one’s own language variety should be measured. In French second language (FSL) education in Canada, this perception of an idealized standard often leaves teachers and teacher candidates questioning their sense of belonging in the teaching profession, especially those who speak French as an additional language themselves. This insecurity can be attributed to a persisting orientation to the European standard of French and teachers’ orientation to the idealized standard of the native speaker. This article offers an analysis of manifestations of linguistic insecurity to highlight the socially constructed nature of this phenomenon, based on data excerpts from research conducted with so-called “non-francophone” FSL teachers in British Columbia.L’insécurité linguistique est souvent définie par le manque de confiance en ses capacités linguistiques qui repose sur l’idée qu’il existe une norme supérieure ou plus authentique par rapport à sa propre façon de parler. Dans l’enseignement du français langue seconde (FLS) au Canada, une telle perception peut mener les enseignantes et enseignants et les étudiants-maîtres à questionner leur appartenance légitime à la profession, surtout celles et ceux qui parlent le français comme langue additionnelle. Cette insécurité s’explique par le fait qu’il existe toujours une tendance à s’évaluer par rapport à la norme idéale du locuteur natif qui influence la perception de soi sur le plan professionnel. Cet article offre une analyse des manifestations d’une telle insécurité dans le but de souligner la construction idéologique de ce phénomène sur le plan social, basé sur des extraits de données tirés d’une recherche menée auprès d’enseignantes et enseignants de FLS soi-disant « non francophones » en Colombie-Britannique
Breaking Motherhood’s Rules: Play and Reproduction in Gabriela Wiener’s Nueve lunas (2009)
Get PDFThis article analyses Nine Moons (2009), by the Peruvian writer Gabriela Wiener, in relation to the concept of play in the creation of the novel, the development of the protagonist as a mother, as well as the dismantling of normative notions of motherhood. Although motherhood as a patriarchal institution is, according to Adrienne Rich, full of norms that oppress women, whether they are mothers or not, it can also be a site of (possible) resistance. I argue how through play Nine Moons separates motherhood from natural processes and exposes its constructed quality, restoring independence and autonomy to the process of gestation.Este artículo analiza Nueve lunas (2009) de la escritora peruana Gabriela Wiener con relación al concepto de juego, tanto en la creación de la novela y la gestación de la protagonista, como en la desarticulación de nociones normativas de la maternidad. Si bien la maternidad es una institución patriarcal llena de preceptos que, como indica Adrienne Rich, no hacen sino oprimir a las mujeres que son y no son madres, también puede ser lugar de (una posible) resistencia. Argumento cómo por medio del juego Nueve lunas distancia la maternidad de los procesos naturales y expone su carácter construido, restituyendo al proceso de gestación independencia y autonomía
Espectacularidad y gestualidad: anverso y reverso de la masculinidad en los cuentos de Rafael F. Muñoz
Get PDFRafael F. Muñoz published during the heyday of the literature of the Mexican Revolution and the generation of the “macho” as national representative. This article analyzes a selection of short stories where masculinity in combat is read as national ideal and political equalizer, using spectacle and gesture as key concepts. The article likewise analyzes two exceptional short stories of non-fighting men who fail to fulfill the expectations of virility. Here, Muñoz presents the risks of a masculinity composed of superficial gestures, using the stripping of virile attributes to reveal the vulnerability of victims and the cost of civil violence.Rafael F. Muñoz publicó durante el auge de la narrativa de la Revolución mexicana y la generación del macho como representante nacional. Este artículo analiza una selección de cuentos donde la masculinidad en combate se lee como ideal nacional y nivelador político desde los conceptos de espectacularidad y gestualidad. Además, analiza dos cuentos excepcionales con hombres que no combaten e incumplen las expectativas de virilidad. En ellos, Muñoz presenta el riesgo de una masculinidad hecha de gestos superficiales, y usa el despojo de los atributos viriles para revelar la vulnerabilidad de las víctimas y el costo de la violencia civil
Affect and Emotions in Two Chilean Postmemory Narratives: La dimensión desconocida by Nona Fernández and La resta by Alia Trabucco Zerán
Get PDFLa dimensión desconocida (2016) by Nona Fernández and La resta (2014) by Alia Trabucco Zerán are recent novels about the memory of the Augusto Pinochet dictatorship (1973-1990) in Chile that use emotions to reconstruct a historical era through memory. The two novels share an emphasis on the affect and emotions of both readers and characters. While La dimensión desconocida is a historical novel that invites the reader to identify and empathize with the protagonists, La resta is an allegorical novel that provokes the reader to think about history by startling him or her through the narration of the protagonists\u27 violent games.La dimensión desconocida (2016) de Nona Fernández y La resta (2014) de Alia Trabucco Zerán son novelas recientes sobre la memoria de la dictadura de Augusto Pinochet (de 1973-1990) en Chile que usan las emociones para reconstruir lo que pasó en una época histórica a través de la memoria. Las dos novelas comparten un énfasis en el afecto y las emociones tanto de los lectores como de los personajes. La dimensión desconocida, novela histórica, hace que el lector se identifique y empatice con sus protagonistas, mientras que La resta, novela alegórica, crea reacciones de choque en el lector a través de los juegos violentos de los niños recordados por los narradores

Are Single Limb Hopping Scores the Same When Performed in a Physical Education Class Versus a Laboratory Setting in Uninjured Adolescents? Implications for Future Rehabilitation Guidelines for Adolescents With Knee Injuries
No full textThis study compared the performance of adolescents (11-13 years old) in two environments with five single-limb hopping tasks. The purpose was to assess the reproducibility and responsiveness of single-limb hop tests in two environments (gymnasium and laboratory) for uninjured adolescents, and determine whether there are differences in baseline measures between males and females. Thirty-four participants (12 ± 0.3 years) were randomly assigned the gymnasium during a regularly scheduled physical education class or the laboratory and completed five single-limb hop tasks. Two weeks later, participants completed the tasks in the other location. The performances were evaluated for reproducibility (intra-class correlation coefficients [ICC], and standard errors of measurement [SEM]), and responsiveness (Bland-Altman analyses [BA], and smallest real difference [SRD]). Limb symmetry indices (LSI) were also calculated for each task. Two-way mixed ANOVAs examined location and sex differences. All hops were reproducible (ICC = 0.62-0.88) with SEMs ranging between 6.7-13.0% of the mean of the group. BA showed location differences for the triple hop on the dominant limb (d = -13.3 cm, p=0.03). SRDs ranged between 18.5-35.9% of the mean of the group for all hops. Males scored higher (percent difference (%D) = 9.9-21.4%, p<0.05) for all hops except the anterior hop on both limbs, the 6-meter timed hop and lateral hop on the non-dominant limb. LSIs were 93.5-102.6% and 94.4-101.7% for all hopping task for females and males, respectively. In conclusion, this battery of single-limb hop tests offer a reliable method for clinicians and researchers to assess the functional capacity of uninjured adolescents in various environments
Cavell and the Magic of Cinema
Get PDFThe World Viewed is a fascinating, dense and enigmatic book by Stanley Cavell on the ontology of cinema, understood as a fact of experience that leads us back to our fundamental existential dimension as individuals displaced before the world that passes before our eyes. The world viewed on the big screen in the dark movie theater is our world, but we are not in it, we are present to it by looking at it from the outside, we own it in this mythological way. This is the magic of film, according to Cavell: “How do movies reproduce the world magically? Not by literally presenting us with the world, but by permitting us to view it unseen.” A magic that repays us for our loneliness and sadness by making them stand out against the background of the world seen on the screen, fabulous and mythical: “movies also promise us happiness exactly not because we are rich or beautiful or perfectly expressive, but because we can tolerate individuality, separateness, and inexpressiveness. In particular, because we can maintain a connection with reality despite our condemnation to viewing it in private.
