The Latin American Short Story at its Limits: Fragmentation, Hybridity and Intermediality
No full textThe Latin American short story has often been viewed in terms of its relation to orality, tradition and myth. But this desire to celebrate the difference of Latin American culture unwittingly contributes to its exoticization, failing to do justice to its richness, complexity and contemporaneity. By re-reading and re-viewing the short stories of Juan Rulfo, Julio Cortazar and Augusto Monterroso, Bell reveals the hybridity of this genre. It is at once rooted in traditional narrative and fragmented by modern experience; its residual qualities are revived through emergent forms. Crucially, its oral and mythical characteristics are compounded with the formal traits of modern, emerging media: photography, cinema, telephony, journalism, and cartoon art
The death of the storyteller and the poetics of (UN) containment: Juan Rulfo's el llano en llamas
No full textCritics have often read Juan Rulfo's El Llano en llamas (1953) as a return to the oral storytelling tradition. My contention, however, is that his short stories constitute an eminently modern break from cultural, narrative tradition-or what Angel Rama has termed transculturation. I first explore how the death of the storyteller, prophesied by Walter Benjamin (1936), is staged within Rulfo's stories; and second, how Rulfo uses fragmentation as a literary device, which in turn potentiates further transculturative processes. I argue that it is in the ruins of traditional narrative that new meanings, stories, and relations emerge

Viscous Porosity: Interactions between Human and Environment in Juan Rulfo's El Llano en llamas
No full textCritics have often noted the prominent role accorded to the natural world in Juan Rulfo’s work, interpreting the fusion of human and environment as a metaphor for the characters’ fate or for their desired but unrealizable state. However, the interactions between the human and more-than-human world that proliferate in Rulfo’s writing are not only metaphorical, but also material. Approaching El llano en llamas (1953) from an ecocritical perspective allows the reader to delve into the complex interactions between the geographical, geological and meteorological conditions of south-eastern Jalisco in which the stories are located and the social, historical and economic context of post-revolutionary Mexico, from religion and class to gender and sexuality. This article focuses first on the socio-economic factors surrounding the flood—a so-called ‘natural disaster’—in ‘Es que somos muy pobres’, before turning to the relationship between violence, machismo, weather and land/earth in ‘¡Diles que no me maten!’
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Evaluation of an ACT trans-diagnostic pathway in an NHS Community Mental Health Team for adults
No full textBackground: this presentation outlines the development of an Acceptance and Commitment Therapy transdiagnostic pathway in a secondary care NHS community adult mental health service. Nine non therapy staff (social workers, nurses and occupational therapists) and 8 therapy staff (psychologists and a psychotherapist) received 4 training days and supervision over 6 months for their first case from experienced ACT therapists.Method: clients predominantly presented with depression, but many had comorbid diagnoses such as traumatic brain injury, personality disorders, PTSD and bipolar disorder. Clients were seen for 12 weekly sessions. Clients completed the CORE, PHQ-9, Valued Living Questionnaire (VLQ) and 7 item Cognitive Fusion Questionnaire (CFQ) pre and post therapy and at 3 and 6 month follow-up.Results: for the initial 8 clients completing 12 sessions, there were significant improvements on all measures post-therapy: CFQ: t(7)=2.51, p<.05, one-tailed, VLQ Importance: t(6)=-2.23, p<.05, one-tailed, VLQ Action t(6)=-2.34, p<.05, one-tailed, PHQ t(7)=2.57, p<.05, one-tailed and CORE total t(7)=3.07, p<.01, one-tailed. Results from additional participants and follow up will be available by the time of the conference.Results: these initial findings suggest that ACT is an effective intervention when delivered in this setting by both trained therapists and other health professional
Use of TD-GC–TOF-MS to assess volatile composition during post-harvest storage in seven accessions of rocket salad (Eruca sativa). BELL L, SPADAFORA D.N. contributed equally to the work
No full textAn important step in breeding for nutritionally enhanced varieties is determining the effects of the postharvest
supply chain on phytochemicals and the changes in VOCs produced over time. TD-GC–TOF-MS
was used and a technique for the extraction of VOCs from the headspace using portable tubes is
described. Forty-two compounds were detected; 39 were identified by comparison to NIST libraries.
Thirty-five compounds had not been previously reported in Eruca sativa. Seven accessions were assessed
for changes in headspace VOCs over 7 days. Relative amounts of VOCs across 3 time points were significantly
different – isothiocyanate-containing molecules being abundant on ‘Day 0’. Each accession
showed differences in proportions/types of volatiles produced on each day. PCA revealed a separation
of VOC profiles according to the day of sampling. Changes in VOC profiles over time could provide a tool
for assessment of shelf life
