Florencia Garramuño traduz Graciliano Ramos
No full textThe text bellow presents an essay by Florencia Garramuño, which introduces her own translation of Spanish of the novel Vidas secas, by Graciliano Ramos, published in 2001, and seeks to contextualize briefly the essay within the cultural exchanges between Brazil and Argentina. After the presentation follows the Brazilian version of "El regionalismo equívoco de Vidas secas" in which the author proposes a reassessment of the relations between the concepts of modernism, regionalism and realism within the context of Brazilian culture during the first half of the twentieth century. Director of the Brazilian culture program at San Andrés University in Buenos Aires, Florencia Garramuño is the author of Modernidades primitivas: Tango, samba e nação (Editora UFMG, 2009) and La experiencia opaca. Literatura y desencanto (FCE, 2009). Translated Gran sertón: veredas by Guimarães Rosa (with Gonzalo Aguilar), En libertad by Silviano Santiago, among others, and organized the Spanish version of Los sertones by Euclides da Cunha for Fondo de Cultura Económica.O texto abaixo apresenta o ensaio de Florencia Garramuño, que introduz sua própria tradução espanhola de Vidas secas, de Graciliano Ramos, lançada em 2001, e procura contextualizá-lo brevemente no âmbito das trocas culturais entre Argentina e Brasil.

Florencia Grimaldi: Latin America's Soprano Heroine
No full textabstract: Although opera is the last musical genre one typically associates with Latin America, Mexican composer Daniel Catán (1949-2011) found surprising success across the United States and overseas with his opera Florencia en el Amazonas (1996). Catán blends colorful music with literary elements to create a representation of Latin American culture through language, drama, scenery, and music. Among these elements is realism mágico (magical realism), a significant characteristic of Latin American literature. Indeed, the plot of the opera is influenced by Gabriel García Márquez's novel, El amor en los tiempos del cólera (Love in the Time of Cholera, 1985), as well as the poem "Mariposa de obsidiana" (Obsidian Butterfly, 1951) and the short story "La hija de Rappaccini" (Rappaccini's Daughter, 1953), both by Octavio Paz. To create his protagonist in the opera, Florencia Grimaldi, Catán combines the dramatic qualities of several European soprano heroines. This figure's character development is conveyed largely through her Act I, Scene 2, aria, "Florencia Grimaldi," and her Act II, Scene 17, aria, "Escúchame." An overview of the opera places these two arias into context, and their musical content and text-setting are closely examined in relation to the character of Florencia. Finally, how Daniel Catán creates a soprano heroine from the Latin American perspective is discussed.Dissertation/ThesisD.M.A. Music 201

Juan Rodolfo Wilcock e il giornale. Critica di costume e foglietti di viaggio nel "Mondo" di Mario Pannunzio
No full textJuan Rodolfo Wilcock e il giornale. Critica di costume e foglietti di viaggio nel “Mondo” di Mario Pannunzio
Between 1958 and 1966, Juan Rodolfo Wilcock wrote several pieces for the Italian journal “Il Mondo”, some of them as an insightful observer of the Italian (and European) way of life. This corpus of writings hitherto unexplored is, as we suggest, one of the multiple expressions of Wilcock’s narrative. The aim of this paper is to highlight the literary devices and the rhetoric figures used by the author while describing different aspects of Italian morals and society, and therefore to display and comment on the main characteristics of what we call Wilcock’s “journalistic poetics”

A rational model of spatial neglect
No full textSpatial neglect has been a phenomenon of interest for perceptual and neuropsychological researchers for decades. However, the underlying cognitive processes remain unclear. We provide a Bayesian framework for the classic line bisection task in spatial neglect, regarding it as rational inferences in the face of uncertain information. A Bayesian observer perceives the left and right endpoints of a line with uncertainty, and leverages prior expectations about line lengths to compensate for this uncertainty. This Bayesian model provides a basis for characterizing different patterns of behavior. Our model also captures the paradoxical cross-over effect observed in earlier studies as a natural outcome when uncertainty is high and the observer falls back on priors. It provides measures that correlate well with measures from other neglect tests, and can accurately distinguish stroke patients from healthy controls. It has the potential to facilitate spatial neglect studies and inform clinical decisions
Simulating political polarization as a function of uncertain inference and signaling of moral values
No full textPolitical polarization is driven by many factors, but the role of moral values as both a signal of political identity and a source of internal conflict is understudied. We report an agent-based computational model of polarization that fills this gap. Agents seek to differentiate in- and outgroup neighbors with a slight preference for the former. However, they must do so by inferring neighbors’ identities from visible but transient moral signals. Moreover, agents experience conflicts within their own values, and if difficult to resolve internally, can copy the values of their ingroup or disengage (i.e., act immorally). Results show that liberals form larger, more homogeneous clusters, are happier, and experience less moral conflict than conservatives. Conservatives experience more and higher levels of conflict and morally disengage significantly more often than liberals
Causal inference shapes counterfactual plausibility
No full textWhen we reason about what could have been, some possibilities seem plausible, and others far-fetched. According to a recent theory, counterfactual possibilities are plausible if they can be generated by making local, probabilistic adjustments to the causes of what actually happened. We provide evidence that people think about counterfactuals in this way even when they have to infer the causes of what happened. We told participants about the diet of a fictional animal, and then asked them simple counterfactual questions. For example, given that the animal has eaten 1 berry today, how much food could it plausibly have eaten instead? When the amount of food eaten by the animal licensed an inference about a causally upstream variable, participants inferred the state of this variable and used it to guide their counterfactual plausibility judgments. More generally, the distribution over counterfactual values derived from participants' judgments was remarkably similar to the distribution predicted by the model
