Mr Secrets and Social Media: the Confession of Richard Rodriguez
No full textRichard Rodriguez's works create troubling situations for many scholars. Though numerous critics see him as the penultimate Chicano writer, many others see his writing as only pandering to the elite. However, all politics and controversies aside, he is a writer whose ideas upon language and public confession have been revolutionary. Throughout the thesis, I argue that Rodriguez's ideas upon language and identity are applicable to the social media landscape that we reside in currently, especially the public confession. Also, I use deconstructionism, along with postmodern criticism, to illustrate the changing arc of Rodriguez's confession from his first autobiography to his final one. In his first memoir, Rodriguez remains in the closet upon his sexuality, and the reader only catches glimpses of the 'real' character inside his work. In the second memoir, the reader sees a better glimpse because of his coming out; yet, even in this regard, he does not do so wholly and still leaves his confession unfinished. By the third, he applies themes and problems seen in his first and second works to discuss our browning nature, and how we are all sinners and that we desire to confess our sins. In my assessment of Rodriguez, I argue throughout all my chapters upon a measure of irreconcilability between the private world of the Hispanic immigrant family and the public sphere that they are forced to inhabit because of his citizenship and education. This irreconcilability creates a drastic limiting of identity for the author that Rodriguez is forced to navigate which creates his desire for confession
Incidence of vulvovaginal candidiasis in women of the Imbabura province
No full textVaginal candidiasis is a relevant topic nowadays and has also become one of the most prevalent diseases in women. Vulvovaginal candidiasis (VVC) is an infection caused by a fungus of the genus Candida, which usually forms part of our commensal gut microbiota. It becomes a health problem when the fungus colonizes the vaginal mucosa in an immunocompromised, pregnant person or follows antibiotic therapy. The fungi can proliferate, surpassing protective microorganisms and causing colonization in the host. Antimycotics are prescribed antimicrobial drugs that stop the growth of fungi or kill them. However, the fungus can acquire resistance to the treatments and pose a severe health risk for many women. The purpose of this project is to determine the prevalence of VVC in a population of women, identify the Candida species causing them, and evaluate the sensitivity of the fungi to commonly prescribed antifungals. This study was carried out since November 2019 to February 2021 in the Imbabura province. In the present investigation, one hundred and thirty-four samples of vaginal cervical exudates from women with symptoms of VVC were obtained in primary care health centers and were analyzed in the laboratories of Yachay Tech University. We conducted screens for fungal pathogens in order to isolate, identify Candida species, and determine the fungus susceptibility to antifungals clinically most used. Among all samples, 31,34% were culture positive. Out of the 30 positive samples, 96.7% were C. albicans, followed by C. parapsilosis (3.3%) while C. glabrata and C. tropicalis were not found. Moreover, C. albicans were identified in women between the ages of 18 and 29. Most isolates were sensitive to clotrimazole and voriconazole, and few were resistant to fluconazole. Our results suggest the identification of Candida species and their antifungal sensitivity testing should be routinely performed to achieve proper treatment and appropriate clinical results.La candidiasis vaginal es un tema relevante en la actualidad y también se ha convertido en una de las enfermedades más prevalentes en la mujer. La candidiasis vulvovaginal (VVC) es una infección causada por el hongo Candida, el cual usualmente forma parte de la microbiota comensal intestinal. Se convierte en un problema de salud cuando el hongo coloniza la mucosa vaginal en una persona inmunodeprimida, embarazada o después de un tratamiento con antibióticos. Los hongos pueden crecer rápidamente, superando a los microorganismos protectores y provocando la colonización en el hospedador. Los antimicóticos son medicamentos antimicrobianos recetados que detienen el crecimiento de los hongos o los matan. Sin embargo, el hongo puede adquirir resistencia a los tratamientos y suponer un grave riesgo para la salud de muchas mujeres. El propósito de este proyecto es determinar la prevalencia de CVV en una población de mujeres, identificar las especies de Candida y evaluar la sensibilidad de los hongos frente a los antifúngicos comúnmente recetados. Este estudio fue realizado desde noviembre de 2019 hasta febrero de 2021 en la provincia de Imbabura. En la presente investigación, se obtuvieron en centros de salud primaria ciento treinta y cuatro muestras de exudados cervicales vaginales de mujeres con síntomas de CVV, que fueron posteriormente analizados en los laboratorios de la Universidad de Investigación de Tecnología Experimental Yachay. Realizamos cribados de hongos patógenos con el fin de aislar, identificar especies de Candida y determinar la susceptibilidad del hongo a los antifúngicos clínicamente más utilizados. De las 30 muestras positivas, 96.7% fueron C. albicans, seguido de C. parapsilosis (3.3%) mientras que no se encontraron C. glabrata y C. tropicalis. Además, C. albicans fue identificada en mujeres entre los 18 y 29 años. La mayoría de aislados fueron sensibles al clotrimazol y voriconazol, y algunos resistentes al fluconazol. Nuestros resultados sugieren que la identificación de las especies de Candida y las pruebas de sensibilidad antifúngica deben realizarse de forma rutinaria para lograr un tratamiento adecuado y resultados clínicos correctos.Biólog

Margin-Alt: Peripherial ethos and the intentional margis in Javier García Rodriguez
No full textJavier García Rodríguez es un autor cuya obra tiene base autobiográfica, pese a lo cual, la autoconciencia ficcional es un elemento clave. Todos sus libros configuran una misma obra, porque comparten un mismo autor implícito que utiliza el material autobiográfico pero sin seguir un orden cronológico. El cronotopo de dicha obra está fracturado por esta estructura desorganizada y la confluencia de dos ejes fundamentales: el barrio de Pajarillos Altos en el Valladolid de la infancia y el interior de Estados Unidos en la juventud. Las referencias culturales que van conformando el cronotopo son parte del sistema estilístico del autor, que aun inscribiéndose en una corriente generacional de regreso al barrio de los orígenes, transgrede los géneros, las intenciones y las formas de sus coetáneos.Javier García Rodríguez is an author whose work has an autobiographical basis. Despite this, fictional self-consciousness is a key element. All his books form a single work, because they share the same implicit author, which uses autobiographical material but without following a chronological order. The chronotope of this work is fractured by this disorganized structure and the confluence of two fundamental axes: the neighborhood of Pajarillos Altos in the Valladolid of his childhood and the interior of the United States in his youth. The cultural references that shape the chronotope are part of the stylistic system of the author, who, while inscribing himself in a generational current of return to the neighborhood of his origins, transgresses the genres, intentions and forms of his contemporaries

Sobre el yo sileptico en la narrativa contemporanea espanola : el caso de "Barra americana" de Javier Garcia Rodriguez
No full textThe article focuses on the concept of autofiction and its utility in the interpretation
of Javier García Rodríguez´s latest work: Barra americana. His narrative strategy involves
toying with the intention of exposing and hiding author´s inner self as well as with taking
on the status of a textual construct and re-creating one’s „real” I. The deliberations
about Barra americana (some sort of combination of a novel, a collection of short stories
and a patchwork of citations) gain clarity and distinctness thanks to the theoretical approach
by Ryszard Nycz. His concept of “sylleptical I” seems to be very useful when
analysing this “fictional chronicle” by a Spaniard placed in American reality marked
by the literary sensibility of David Foster Wallace and Lorrie Moore (and plenty other
writers mentioned by García Rodríguez in his polymorphous novel)
Perspectives of the River Plate around the time of Rosas : an analysis based upon the personal correspondence, private memoirs and published accounts of British settlers, as well as works by creole authors
No full textThis thesis draws inspiration from the emergence of cultural studies as an academic
pursuit, in addition to the current renewal of interest in the relationship between
literary works and their socio-cultural milieux, to bring together an assortment of
textual traces pertaining to the River Plate around the era of Juan Manuel de Rosas,
governor of Buenos Aires and de facto dictator of Argentina for most of the period
1829-1852. The main texts analysed range from private documents relating to two
Scottish settler families, through accounts published by British citizens with first-hand
knowledge of the region (Un inglés, Cinco años en Buenos Aires and
Beaumont, Travels in Buenos Ayres and the Adjacent Provinces), to three influential
pieces of early Argentinian literature (Echeverria's El matadero, Mármol's Amalia
and Sarmiento's Facundo). One justification of this apparently eclectic approach lies
in the prominence accorded to the incomer in the thought of liberal Platine
intellectuals, a concern evinced in their literary production.
The methodology involves examining the representation of certain
fundamental topics across this range of written artefacts, observing frequent points of
thematic convergence amongst the various texts. In this fashion, I construct an image
of the River Plate region around the Rosas period, whilst also appraising the degree
to which early British settlers matched the idealized notion of the immigrant present
in liberal creole writings.
The study is divided into four main chapters, supplemented by an
introduction, conclusion and appendix. The first chapter summarizes the historical
context of the young Platine republics; the second deals with the themes of society,
community and family, the third focuses upon religion; the fourth considers
perspectives of politics, dictatorship and civil war. The appendix consists of an
unpublished settler autobiography, a remarkable account of the tribulations faced on
a daily basis in the developing Argentina

La particular perspectiva de Buero Vallejo sobre Goya y el teatro. Análisis del aspecto visual en 'El sueño de la razón'
No full textIlustraciones:"Mondo Sordo - VII", r2hox"Goya (Pedro Beltrán)", Alberts"Goya", Javier de Hoyos"Goya", Tomek Bin"Seres extraños", Krysthopher WoodsAcceso online al editor: http://ojs.impossibilia.org/index.php/impossibilia/article/view/11El presente trabajo se sustenta en la investigación de la perspectiva desde la que el
dramaturgo Antonio Buero Vallejo aborda la figura del pintor Francisco de Goya. Partiendo del
planteamiento clásico horaciano ut pictura poiesis, se estudia el modo como el hábil escritor ha sido
capaz de explotar las posibilidades de un texto dramático plagado de referencias a obras pictóricas, a
través del motivo poético de la écfrasis. Se dibuja, por tanto, la trayectoria del pintor durante la
realización de su obra Pinturas negras siguiendo las pautas escénicas que nos ofrece Buero Vallejo, tanto
en los diálogos como en las acotaciones, ayudando a crear la asfixiante atmósfera que nos ofrecen dichas
pinturas. De esta manera, se ofrece un análisis interartístico entre figuras de dos ámbitos, literario y
artístico, esenciales para su época.The present work is based on a research about the perspective from which the playwright
Antonio Buero Vallejo tackle the character of the Spanish painter Francisco de Goya. The starting point
is the classical premise ut pictura poiesis brought up by Horatio in the Classical period; therefore, the
following pages analyze the way in which the writer has been able to make use of the large possibilities
of a text full of pictorical mentions. The theatrical piece is articulated around the poetic motif of
ecfrasis. Moreover, Buero Vallejo offers the reader Goya´s career while painting the Pinturas negras
through the dialogues and stage indications; as a consequence, the author gets to reflect the stifling
atmosphere the paintings try to contain. It is, thus, an interartisctic reflection about two essential
characters of their time, belonging to different but complementary fields, the artistic and literary ones
